Five members of Northern Railway Men's Union (NRMU) were admitted to Christian Medical College and Hospital here after they were injured in an alleged clash with some members of Uttariya Railway Mazdoor Union (URMU) at Ferozepur railway station on Saturday night.
The members of NRMU had gone to Ferozepur to submit the ballot boxes after the conclusion of elections for the railway union. While the NRMU members claimed that five of their men were attacked injured in the clash, URMU office-bearers said that four of their members also injured and admitted to a hospital in Amritsar. URMU has alleged that NRMU members had attacked them first.
Paramjeet Singh, divisional secretary, All India Loco Running Staff Association, also visited the injured and put his weight behind the claims of NRMU. "The members of UMRU had attacked them first," he said.
Those admitted to CMCH are: Daljeet Singh, Avtar Singh, Anil Kumar, Som Nath and Parminder Singh.
URMU general secretary BC Sharma refuted the allegations. "A member of NRMU had used abusive language with URMU members in Ferozepur after which Parveen Kumar, president of URMU, was trying to control the situation," he said. "However, they attacked Parveen, who was left injured. Others who were hurt were Sukhdev, Dharamraj and Ramesh of URMU." The election's result will be declared on May 2, he said.
Both groups have submitted separate complaints to the police. Meanwhile, to diffuse tension between warring unions of the railways, several policemen were deputed at the Ludhiana railway station on Sunday. Divisional railway manager NC Goyal also met the injured persons at CMCH and assured them of taking action against erring employees. Ferozepur police could not be contacted for comment.

Cutting vinyl letters for signage or creating vinyl decals is generally done by machine. Some crafters may choose to learn how to make vinyl letters by hand, but in an industrial setting, that process is far too time consuming.
Cutting vinyl letters, however, is only the first of three main steps involved in getting custom vinyl lettering or custom decals to their final destination: applied to the intended surface. The finishing steps also include weeding and application.
There are a few sub-steps, as well, depending on the type of vinyl decals you're dealing with. If you're applying a multi-piece graphic or sign, as would be the case with vinyl letter decals, you will also have to apply transfer paper to the front of your work. Transfer paper keeps all of the pieces in place.
For one-piece vinyl decals, you'll only have a backing to remove before you apply them. To make it easier to remove the backing cleanly, you'll want to create crack-and-peel slits.
This involves removing the unwanted vinyl within a graphic—like, for instance, the enclosed bits in the As, Bs, and Ps of vinyl lettering. If any parts of these interior excess bits are stuck to your graphic or vinyl lettering, you can use your cutting tool to carefully trim the final shape. You'll also need to cut away the excess vinyl around your sign or graphic.
These tasks require cutting tools that can handle detailed work around many different shapes, and can cut straight lines.
A metal-bladed craft knife is a common tool choice for this job. Unfortunately, the metal blades are dangerously sharp out of the box, and those blades dull quickly because metal is relatively soft. The blades must be sharp to make clean cuts, so many vinyl sign-makers are tasked with frequent blades changes.
Handling a blade is a high-risk time for lacerations or punctures. Using a dull blade is also dangerous, however, and may additionally result in tearing or tugging on your vinyl, so those blade changes are important.
Slice cutting tools feature blades with our patent-pending finger-friendly® grind: these blades are safe to the touch. Our unique blade design also takes advantage of the fact that zirconium oxide is a very hard material: Slice blades have been tested to last up to 11 times longer than steel.
All Slice tools are also ergonomically designed, which makes them easy to use and reduces hand and forearm fatigue. The handle surface provides a no-slip grip to reduce the chances of losing control of your tool.
There are several Slice tools that will work well for finishing your vinyl signs or graphics: our micro-ceramic-blade knives, Precision Knife, and craft knives.
Slice offer three one-of-a-kind cutting tools that feature our unique micro-ceramic blade: the Precision Cutter, Safety Cutter, and the Safety Cutter Ring. The Precision Cutter handles like a pen, so the motion feels familiar and natural. This tool is maneuverable and is excellent for detail work.
The Safety Cutter and Safety Cutter Ring work well for straight cuts and big curves. The mouse-like shape of the former fits snugly in your hand, while the latter becomes an extension of your finger.
Slice makes two models of craft knives: the Craft Knife with removable safety cap and the Craft Knife with integrated safety cap. These tools handle like a traditional craft knife.
There are several different types of Slice's proprietary safety blades that fit these tools. For the purpose of weeding, the pointed-tip craft blade and pointed-tip seam ripper are excellent choices. Each of these are great for detailed work and for delicately easing vinyl from the backing. The rounded-tip craft blade is a good choice when extra safety is called for.
The Precision Knife fits the same blades as the craft knives. The unusual finger-hole design of the handle provides excellent control.
These three tools—the craft knives and precision knife—are good for detailed work, and also for straight lines. If necessary, you can use a straight edge to help guide these tools when you need to make extra-long cuts.
Making Crack-and-Peel Slits: Multi-$1,000 Machine or Under-$10 Slice Cutter?
To remove backing from a single-piece decal, you can wedge your fingernail between the backing and decal to expose the decal's sticky side. But this is a hassle, and with larger works, it can get cumbersome.
To ease this process, it's best to create a slit in one or more parts of the backing, depending on the size of the decal. Bend the decal slightly at the slit, and the backing will peel away easily.
The only glitch in this plan is that the machines that make such slits are prohibitively expensive for small businesses. But don't despair!
Slice customer Blue Collar Skateboards sent in this video which shows how easy it is to create a crack-and-peel slit with the Safety Cutter.
Whether you're looking to make crack-and-peel slits or to do the finish work after cutting vinyl letters, Slice offers ergonomic safety cutters for the job.

Long Road to Peace is an excerpt from the two-part documentary Paradise Imperfect made in 2000.
Paradise Imperfect
In 2000 the ABC's Pacific Correspondent Sean Dorney travelled to the war zones of Bougainville to look at the impact of the nine year secessionist conflict and the fragile peace process.
An Australian Broadcasting Corporation production.
Area of study 2. Contemporary Foreign Policy
In VCE International Politics students have the opportunity to:
Understand the nature and influences on Australian foreign policy–making, and the key elements and challenges facing Australian foreign policy. (Outcome 2.)
Understand the impact of foreign policy on Australia's near neighbours, including relations with regional leaders.
Understand the impact of Australian foreign policy on factors such as domestic politics, human rights, refugees, international opinion, international conflict, trade and economic blocs.
This material is an extract. Teachers and Students should consult the Victoria Curriculum and Assessment Authority website for more information.
Discovery of copper deposits in Bougainville in the 1960s led to the development by Conzinc Riotinto Australia (CRA) of the Panguna open cut mine, at that time the largest in the world.
Bougainvilleans were denied what they saw as fair compensation and share of mine profits. The Papua New Guinea Independence Constitution stated that land ownership was to just below the surface and that mineral rights belonged to the state.
Tensions exploded in 1988 when disgruntled landowner (and later secessionist campaigner) Francis Ona led sabotage attacks on the mine. This marked the beginning of a nine year conflict.
Following negotiations led by New Zealand, the civil war in Bougainville came to an end. A truce monitoring force came to Bougainville in 1997 under the auspices of the United Nations, and marked the beginning of a long and complex process of reconciliation.
By the late 1990s there was a power shift in the Bougainville Revolutionary Army (BRA) from militants like Francis Ona to moderates like Joseph Kabui, who had the support of Sam Kauona; the moderates were willing to participate in peace talks.
In 2001 a ceasefire agreement committed Bougainville to a referendum on full independence from Papua New Guinea in 10 to 15 years. In 2005 a provincial government was elected, led by Joseph Kabui . The new Bougainville administration will run the island with much greater autonomy, while the central Papua New Guinea government will control defence and foreign affairs.
Though up to 15,000 people died as a result of the conflict in Bougainville, the Australian population remained largely ignorant of the civil war. Women activists in Australia and New Zealand helped support women in Bougainville: this contact was influential in bringing in support and assistance to the island.
The Australian government policy committed to Papua New Guinea as a unified government; Australia could not deal with Bougainville as a separate entity. The loan of helicopters by Australia to the Papua New Guinea Defence Force, helicopters which eventually had machine guns mounted to them, further ensured that Australians were not trusted on Bougainville.
The Bougainville conflict made Australia change its policy towards the Pacific. Benign neglect was replaced by a policy of re-engagement with the region. Australia realised that good governance and stability were essential for the peace and prosperity of the region.
The involvement of Australia in Papua New Guinea was as a result of Australia's foreign policy at the time. Explain the reasons why Australia did not intervene in Bougainville.
Evaluate the strategies used within the community to a move towards peace in the community. Share other strategies you know of that promote peace. Describe how effective they are. Consider a comparison between the strategies used by women and those used by government.
Describe the insights that Sean Dorney has being a reporter on the ground. How are these insights played out in terms of maintaining peace in the region?
Using this video clip to develop briefing notes for a new film documentary entitled Bougainville Today. Bear in mind Australia's foreign policy created to maintain national security, promoting economic and trade interests, expanding regional and global links and promoting the nation as a global citizen. You may interview Sean Dorney on his insights into this situation as well as government officials. Prepare an outline of those that you would interview to develop a particular point of view on this situation in Bougainville, linked to the formation of Australia's foreign policy.

The American Institute of Physics, the umbrella organization for 10 professional societies (including the AAS) and 24 affiliate societies, hosted its annual Assembly of Society Officers on 4 April to discuss important issues of common concern to our members. This year's foci included underrepresentation of minorities in the physical sciences, efforts and strategies to increase diversity, open access in publications and data, and science policy issues from the perspective of AIP and AAAS Science and Technology Fellows (along with a celebratory reception in honor of 25 years and 40 years of these fellowships, respectively). Minutes of the meeting and PowerPoint presentations are available online at http://www.aip.org/aip/assembly/2013/. Here I will summarize the minority issues, an area of longtime concern to the AAS.
Roman Czujko, Director of the Statistical Research Center at AIP, noted that over the past 10 years the number of undergraduate degrees awarded in all fields has increased by 38% and the number of African Americans receiving these degrees has increased by 51%. Yet the number of African Americans receiving physics degrees is about the same as a decade ago, even though the number of physics degrees awarded has increased by 55%. Of astronomy degrees, 1.4% are earned by African Americans and 5.7% by Hispanic Americans (the numbers are 3.3 and 4.6 for physics degrees). Little progress has been made in increasing the percentage of minorities, despite a variety of focused efforts at the departmental and national levels. Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) produce a disproportionate share of African American physics majors, but that production has decreased from 50% of the total a decade ago to about 40% of the total now. Factors such as economic recession and Hurricane Katrina have conspired to have a negative impact on the numbers of HBCU physics majors at a few key schools.
Physics professors Ramon Lopez of the University of Texas at Arlington and Willie Rockward of Morehouse College shared insights regarding their African American and Hispanic students. Lopez remarked that the biggest leak in the physics pipeline is not K-12 but the first two years of college. He noted that his students frequently matriculate with poor math skills, needing to take college algebra. This puts them behind from the start if all physics courses are calculus-based; consequently, colleges that offer a non-calculus physics course can help get these students involved sooner. Undergraduate-to-graduate bridge programs were also cited as very successful efforts to improve retention of underrepresented minorities in the physical sciences.
Rockward noted that many students have part-time jobs, which take time away from studies. Making student jobs available within physics (or astronomy) departments is an opportunity to engage these students early on. Many minority students come from close-knit families and tend to stay near home. Many families are unaware of the usefulness of graduate school and urge their children to declare a major that makes them employable immediately after college. The perception is often that engineering is a better choice than physics (or astronomy).
As a consequence, some schools are making concerted efforts to offer a broader selection of courses for a physics major than only those leading directly to graduate school; they retain the core intermediate-level mathematical physics, classical, E&M, quantum mechanics, and thermophysics/statistical mechanics courses but allow more options for the remaining major credits (multiple degree tracks), including, for example, biophysics, engineering, education, and biomedical courses (depending on what a particular college or university is able to offer). This is a particularly important strategy in states forcing closures of under-enrolled physics departments. These speakers encouraged other schools to consider a more flexible major to accommodate a broader range of post-college options, so that physics would be seen as a more attractive major. An interesting international study on the relevance of science education is presented in "The Relevance of Science Education (ROSE) Project in England: A Summary of Findings."
Claudia Rankins from the NSF Directorates for Education and Human Resources and Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Dot Harris from the DOE Office of Economic Impact and Diversity, and Marlene Kaplan from NOAA's Education Office and Education and Partnership Program discussed some federal agency programmatic efforts to improve diversity. Rankins emphasized the need to provide research opportunities to students. For small departments, this might be facilitated through collaborations with other small departments. She noted the need to provide better mentoring so students understand what possibilities there are with a physics major. She noted that the freshman physics curriculum is often stale and unexciting and recommended reading the recent study by a subcommittee of the National Academy of Sciences Board of Physics and Astronomy which examined the state of the undergraduate physics curriculum; the report "Adapting to a Changing World – Challenges and Opportunities in Undergraduate Physics Education," recently released in draft form. Many of its salient points, supported by education research-based studies demonstrating better engagement in the class and improved understanding of retention of material through interactive learning methods, are applicable to astronomy education as well.
Harris noted that the physics pipeline starts around 6th grade. By 2018 the majority of Americans under age 18 will be "minorities," mostly multi-racial. DOE hires among the most physicists anywhere and has a large diversity department. She made the important point that "if you don't purposefully include, you exclude" and cited numerous DOE and government-wide diversity and inclusion efforts. She urged new education strategies to improve diversity. She and Kaplan noted opportunities for students and professors to work in DOE and NOAA labs; NOAA also funds cooperative science centers at Minority Serving Institutions along with scholarship, internship, and mentoring opportunities.
Roundtable discussions by the society officers about what our societies might do to help promote better diversity will be considered in the AAS Council meeting (one recent AAS effort, for example, is the newly revamped Shapley Lectureship which hopes to target HBCUs, colleges, and community colleges without astronomy programs). Meanwhile all departments and institutions can continue to reflect on these issues and brainstorm about what can be done at the local level. Increasing our diversity by making concerted efforts to reach out to more students in new ways is an area that many AAS members have tackled for a long time, but we have a long way to go to reach equity.

Stop development of the Mexican Everglades
Mexican Everglades Threatened
A great threat looms over EVERGLADES NATIONAL largest mangrove area in the Mexican Pacific due to the interest of building the project: Canal Centenary and hydroelectric Las Cruces, in the state of Nayarit. Please spread this open letter to the President of the Mexican United States where we request the cancellation of the project.
President of the United Mexican States,
Organizations of civil society, local communities, fishermen and women, researchers and activists from twelve countries in Latin America, built at the International Redmanglar make an urgent call to cancel immediately final and revoke authorizations granted and construction of the Canal Centenary and hydroelectric Las Cruces, in the state of Nayarit. These projects threaten human populations that depend on important natural systems and threatens the integrity of the largest mangrove area in the Mexican Pacific as is the system of mangroves and wetlands of Everglades National. The diversion and damming of rivers that feed would generate serious impacts on the biodiversity of this area containing a quarter of Mexico's mangroves, affecting the Biosphere Reserve and a Wetland of International Importance Ramsar site EVERGLADES NATIONAL.
National Wetlands are the heritage of all Mexicans citizens and world heritage due to its international ecological importance. You should know the serious problems facing humanitydue to climate change and its effects, so the conservation and protection of these ecosystems, it is becoming essential to ensure the medium and long term, Mexico will have natural buffers in good condition, to extreme weather events and thereby increase the capacity survival of the most vulnerable human populations.
Supporting conservation EVERGLADES NATIONAL represents a clear message to local communities, for the same country and the international community that there is interest in protecting the rights of the population and to prioritize the common and collective good instead of special interests and business.
We at the International Redmanglar wsh to make our call to you as President of the United Mexican States to respect the rights and demands of the people and wixárika náyeri, native peoples and sovereign over their territories, who reject the construction and imposition of these works that threaten the destruction their livelihoods, their lands and traditions and culture.
We express also our greatest concern about the way in which these projects have been launched; an unclear and behind peoples back is undertaken in the region: disguising briefings consultation process, ignoring their territories, forms of organization and livelihoods, clearly violating the rights of indigenous peoples that the Mexican state has assumed constitutionally and internationally protected in Convention 169 of the International Labour Organization (ILO). Alarm that the opinion of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) issued by the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) authorize the works assuming that the environmental impacts are reversible and social impacts invisible, when the technical and scientific opinions SEMARNAT collected the same say otherwise.
The arguments of the Federal Electricity Commission project developer, expressed to communities also demonstrate a lack of understanding of the environmental and social impacts that such projects entail. Express that "we must prevent the river water flowing into the sea waste" denotes ignorance of ecological processes in watersheds expressions fit within a single logic of misrepresentation and manipulation of information, we joined the rejection of these processes. Finally as civil society and the international movement We ask you in your capacity as President of the Mexican nation: Remove the political support for this project by severe impacts; canceled immediately and permanently revoked the authorizations granted and construction of the Canal Centenary and hydroelectric Las Cruces, in the state of Nayarit.
Support and comply with the decisions and wishes of indigenous peoples to live harmoniously in its territory meets the voices as the Intercommunity Council for Sustainable Development Rio San Pedro, the Indigenous Council Nayeri and at least 20 fishing cooperatives, who have rejected the project by threatening their livelihood. so also express the International Redmanglar, together with our allies and members as Redmanglar Mexico, look forward to following this case. We endorse and support náyeri ancestral towns and wixárika, and generally to Mexican neighbors and fighting for the defense of their heritage.

"The Munttoren ("Mint Tower") or Munt is a tower in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It stands on the busy Muntplein square, near the flower market and the start of the Kalverstraat shopping street, where the Amstel river and the Singel canal meet. The tower was originally part of the Regulierspoort, one of the main gates in Amsterdam's medieval city wall. The gate, built in the years 1480-1487, consisted of two towers and a guard house.
After the gate went up in flames in a 1618 fire, only the guard house and part of the western tower remained standing. The tower was then rebuilt in Amsterdam Renaissance style in 1619-1620, with an eight-sided top half and elegant open spire designed by Hendrick de Keyser, featuring a clockwork with four clockfaces and a carillon of bells"

JOHNS, N.L. -- Michael Hutchinson felt he played below his personal standards in Saturdays Game 1 loss to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. In Game 2 Sunday, he redeemed himself. The IceCaps goalie stopped 34 shots as St. Johns evened its American Hockey League Eastern Conference final at a game apiece with a 2-1 victory over the Penguins. "I felt pretty good about my game tonight," Hutchinson said. "Last night I wasnt overly thrilled with my performance and I knew I wanted to come out and play better for the guys in the room tonight. I tried to come in and make the saves to hold the team in as much as I could and then we got the lead." The IceCaps started the game according to plan Sunday, carrying a lead into the first intermission. "Our focus was on getting the first goal in the first period and getting a little momentum on our side to get the crowd behind us," said Kyle MacKinnon, who scored the first goal of the game. Carl Klingberg also scored for the IceCaps, while Anton Zlobin replied for the Penguins. St. Johns held Wilkes-Barre/Scranton scoreless in six power-play chances to help the team hold onto the lead. "It was unbelievable," Hutchinson said. "All thee players block shots and clear the puck to make my job a lot easier. Eric Fisher Jersey. .

MacKinnon opened the scoring for the IceCaps when he finished off a breakaway with a quick, high wrist shot after catching a Blair Riley stretch pass entering the blue-line 13:54 into the game. The IceCaps extended their lead when Klingberg got a stick on a Will ONeill slap shot from the point through traffic, finding the high right corner of the net at the 6:24 mark of the second period. Hutchinson kept the Penguins scoreless with a sprawling pad save to stone Harry Zolnierczyk on a breakaway with roughly six minutes left to play in the second period. With 1:04 left in the game, a cross-ice pass found Zlobin wide open in the left face-off dot, and he buried the puck top shelf over a sprawling Hutchinson to get the Penguins on the board. Penguins goalie Peter Mannino made 27 saves. ' ' '

Celtic Transfer Rumours
Celtic have "agreed" a deal for Oh Hyeon-gyu
by Robbie Walls share
Scottish champions Celtic are reportedly closing in on their fourth signing of the January transfer window…
According to Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph, the Old Firm giants are believed to have struck a deal to sign Suwon Bluewings striker, Oh Hyeon-gyu, with a fee of around £2.5m having been agreed upon for the 21-year-old.
Writing on Twitter regarding that developing story, the transfer insider revealed: "Celtic have agreed a £2.5m deal with Suwon Bluewings to sign striker Hyeon-Gyu Oh. The South Korea international, 21, has verbally agreed personal terms and is expected to finalise the move this week."
That seemingly imminent move comes amid the uncertainty surrounding the future of fellow forward Giorgos Giakoumakis at Parkhead, with the Greece international having been mooted for a move to J-League side, Urawa Red Diamonds of late.
"I'm sure" - Journalist shares encouraging transfer claim out of Celtic
Postecoglou can land a dream Giako heir in Celtic move for "excellent" £700k-rated gem - opinion
Imagine him and Maeda: Ange could form "nightmare" Celtic duo by signing 5 ft 9 wizard - opinion
Ange could forget about Giakoumakis with Celtic swoop for "impressive" 29 y/o gem - opinion
Postecoglou must be 'incredibly excited'
Even without the potentially impending exit of the current Hoops marksman, there had been reports back in November that the Glasgow side were seeking to bolster their attacking ranks even further, with manager Ange Postecoglou seemingly set to continue his bid to keep improving his title-winning squad.
The addition of the aforementioned Oh could well prove a particularly astute capture for the 57-year-old, with the 6 foot 1 starlet having blossomed in his native Korea in recent times.
Are you excited by the Oh Hyeon-gyu signing?
No, not convinced
The one-cap international has proven himself a clinical presence in front of goal in his embryonic senior career to date, having scored 14 goals in 53 games for his current side, while also netting nine goals and laying on six assists in 40 games while on loan at Gimcheon Sangmu.
The most recent K-League campaign saw the emerging asset net 11 times in 32 league games, having enjoyed a particularly impressive end to the season with eight goals in his last ten top-flight games.
That sparkling form has unsurprisingly caught the attention of those at Celtic Park, with it looking as if he is set to progress even further in the years to come.
How many players did Celtic sign in January 2022?
Such is Cho's standout talent, journalist Jason Lee only recently stated that he is "incredibly excited" at the prospect of the Korean making the move to Scotland, with the same likely to be said of Postecoglou who will have the chance to help nurture and develop yet another impressive youngster.
With fellow forward, Kyogo Furuhashi currently delivering the goods with 20 goals in all competitions already this season, it will be a mouthwatering prospect to have even greater competition in the attacking ranks with the addition of the Suwon sensation.

Graham Esdale
Graham Esdale is a principal in Beasley Allen Law Firm's Personal Injury and Product Liability Section. His primary responsibilities have been in the areas of products liability and workplace injuries. He has been involved in the firm's tobacco litigation and other notable cases, including a $114.5 million verdict against a bucket truck manufacturer and a $3 million verdict against Alabama Power Company involving an electrical accident.
Graham was also a leader in the investigation of claims of personal injury and death related to Toyota Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA).
After obtaining his B.S. degree in marketing from Auburn University, Graham attended the University of Alabama School of Law and graduated in 1989. He started his law career with the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office, where he was involved in over 150 trials. He was a member of the homicide and sex abuse division, which focused on the prosecution of these complicated and sensitive crimes.
Graham left the District Attorney's Office in 1994 to enter civil practice where he chose to focus on products liability and workplace litigation. Graham left Birmingham in the fall of 1996 to join Beasley Allen.
He is married to the former Leigh Ann Hibbett of Florence, Alabama, and they have two children, Whitney and Robert. Whitney is a physician assistant in cardiovascular surgery at Huntsville Hospital. Robert is attending college in Montgomery.
Ford Mustang Post-Crash Fire
Graham led the trial team that obtained a $7 million jury verdict in a negligence case against Ford Motor Co. on behalf of Breanna "Bre" Bumgarner and her surviving estate members. Ms. Bumgarner suffered only minor injuries from the crash but died due to a post-crash fire caused by Ford's defective vehicle. The jury found that Ford Motor Co.'s 2014 Ford Mustang was defectively designed and that the defective design was a proximate cause of Ms. Bumgarner's death.
Toyota Sudden Unintended Acceleration Lawsuits
Graham was one of the first attorneys in the country to file a lawsuit against Toyota alleging that SUA caused a personal injury and wrongful death. In January of 2010, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. announced the suspension of manufacturing and sales of many of its bestselling models after a series of safety recalls involving millions of vehicles. The recalls involved both Toyota and Lexus vehicles, and mainly had to do with SUA. Graham had been actively investigating SUA problems for about two years prior to the first recall, which happened in September 2009. Graham traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the congressional hearings.
In October 2013, an Oklahoma City jury in Bookout, et al v. Toyota found that electronic throttle defects were to blame for a 2007 crash that killed one woman and left another seriously injured. The jury awarded $1.5 million to the families of both women, who were riding in a 2005 Camry when it suddenly accelerated off an Oklahoma highway and careened into an embankment. Before the jury could deliberate on punitive damages, Toyota reached a separate confidential settlement with the families. The New York Times notes the verdict "most likely spurred Toyota to pursue a broad settlement of its remaining cases." In March 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Toyota would pay fines of $1.2 billion to settle a four-year criminal investigation into its handling of sudden unintended acceleration defects in millions of its vehicles.
Graham is the Immediate Past President of the Alabama Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), a national organization comprised of both plaintiff and defense trial attorneys and is committed to the preservation of trial by jury. To be eligible for consideration, a lawyer must have tried at least 20 civil jury trials to verdict as lead counsel. Graham is a former National Board Member of the Alabama Chapter and a Life Fellow in National ABOTA.
In addition, he is a member of the Federal Bar Association and the State Bar Judicial Liaison Committee.
Graham's civic involvement includes his serving as a Board Member for the River Region Board of Magic Moments.
Graham has regularly been named to the Best Lawyers in America and Midsouth Super Lawyers. He was named the Best Lawyers 2020 Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs "Lawyer of the Year" in Montgomery.
Graham also was selected as one of the 2014-2015 Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America and has been included as one of the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers. Lawyers included in the Lawdragon 500 guides are selected from a combination of editorial research by Lawdragon staff, submissions from law firms, and an online nomination form that allows visitors to recommend and comment on their favorite lawyers.
In addition, he was named one of America's Top 100 High Stakes Litigators and received a lifetime achievement award from America's Top 100 Attorneys. Only 100 attorneys in each state are selected for Lifetime Achievement Membership among America's Top 100 Attorneys. The honor is based on the candidate's professional experience, lifetime achievements, significant case results, peer reputation, and community impact.
Graham was selected as a finalist for Public Justice's 2014 Trial Lawyer of the Year, along with the other members of the trial team, for his work in the verdict against Toyota in Oklahoma. This award is given by Public Justice to the lawyer or trial team making the most outstanding contribution to the public through precedent-setting litigation in the last year. He also was named Beasley Allen's 2014 Products Liability Section Lawyer of the Year.

Great food & awesome service as always. Love the fresh food and variety each time we dine here. Great for families too. Enjoyed the Avacado Toast, Shrimp & Stuffed Mushrooms as well as the Salmon Salad Entree'. We will be back soon. Thanks!
Everything we ate (golden beet salad, kale + split pea soup, land tenderloin, haddock, key lime pie, pecan pie, Australian shiraz, and house champagne) was great. Our server, Keara, was awesome. Definitely returning.

Always excellent service and expertly prepared food. A family favorite for special occasions.
Excellent food. Good service. Nice place for a special occasion.
My family and I had a wonderful experience for Easter brunch. The food was terrific and the service was spot on! With three small children, we enjoyed the luxury of being seated in a small side room. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive. We were able to select great dishes from the Spring menu, which was priced specially for Easter. The portions were very generous and beautifully served. We look forward to another occasion when our family can return for a fabulous day or evening out!
We had a great family brunch with 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. We'll be back again!

Average vessel operating costs rose modestly for the second year in succession following two years of marked declines, but cost inflation is set to accelerate on higher insurance premiums, according to the latest Ship Operating Costs Annual Review and Forecast 2018/19 report published by global shipping consultancy Drewry.
Typical ship operating costs accelerated moderately in 2018 as the uncertain recovery in freight markets across most cargo sectors gained momentum. OPEX costs are heavily linked to developments in the wider shipping market as some costs, such as insurance, are connected to asset values and others impacted by the ability of shipowners to pay.
Drewry estimates that average daily operating cost across the 46 different ship types and sizes covered in the report rose 1.1% in 2018, succeeding the previous year's rise of 0.7%. This followed a period in which OPEX spending contracted over two consecutive years by almost 9% in 2015-16 (see graph).
Cost inflation was broad-based across all cost heads. Indeed, the year marked the first time in a decade that expenditure rose across all five main OPEX cost heads, marking an inflection point for the future direction of ship operating costs.
The rise in costs was broad-based across all the main cargo carrying sectors with every segment experiencing some cost inflation. The latest assessments include vessels in the container, chemical, dry bulk, oil tanker, LNG, LPG, general cargo, roro and reefer sectors, as well as the recently introduced car carriers segment. Indeed, 2018 represented the first time in seven years that all vessel sectors recorded rising average operating costs.
However, continued overcapacity in certain sectors and an uncertain trade outlook will still make market conditions challenging for most shipowners over the coming years, so Drewry expects the pressure on costs to continue. This will be particularly so in areas of the budget where operators have greatest control, such as manning, stores, spares, repairs & maintenance and management & administration. But other cost elements influenced by wider market factors will prove harder to control, such as insurance, where we expect spending to rise as the marine insurance market hardens.
However, given the more benign outlook for the remaining cost heads, overall vessel operating costs are expected to rise below the level of general price inflation over the next few years and so represent cost stagnation in real terms.

The benefits of newborn hearing screening and early intervention were championed at the Public Health Association of New Zealand's conference in Christchurch in October.
Presenters at the conference included Angela Deken, Canterbury DHB UNHSEIP Co-ordinator; Catherine Coppell, Paediatric Audiologist Children's Hearing Aid Service Triton Hearing; and Naomi Gibson, Paediatric Audiologist Southern Cochlear Implant Programme, with Canterbury DHB's Charge Audiologist Gurjoat Vraich co-authoring the presentation. The presenters came together to describe the history behind the programme before outlining the screening pathway and the benefits of a national screening programme for identifying hearing loss.
The newborn hearing screening service at Canterbury District Health Board is a good example of multidisciplinary collaborative team working across providers to ensure the delivery of high quality screening and early intervention services. Through this approach, the service is able to ensure early identification of hearing loss and provide information to the families about their child's hearing abilities and choices for treatment and intervention. Having this knowledge empowers whānau to make informed decisions for the development and wellbeing of their child.

A positive Thursday with a few winners lets the Conductor load up for the late pick 4 at Keeneland. With a ton of big racing on the route tomorrow, the Conductor narrows his focus today. What a smart man. Let's hit this thing and have a hell of a weekend, Let's Ride.
#1 Parlor (3/1) – Drawn well to the inside, he finished 3rd vs tougher last start. He closed well into a tepid pace and has the strongest late kick in this field. Another Kentucky Downs shipper that will win on the Keeneland turf.
*Never a Doubt Bottle Service Lock of the Day #6 Hollywood Star (5/1) – Exiting two sprint races at Saratoga, he should show some early speed in a race without much pace. His best races have been routing and he was Grade 2 placed as a 2-year-old. He's working well and looks to be ready for a top performance.
#12 Ruby Notion (5/1) – Winner of her 1st Grade 3 last start, this mare has never been better. She continues to improve in Darrin Miller's barn. She has enough early gas to stay close to the pace, along with the fitness to finish strong. What a great betting race this is.
#11 Because It's Time (4/1) – The long layoff is a concern for the Conductor with these low % connections, but his numbers stand out against this field. If he shows up with a B effort that will be good enough to beat this group and at 4/1 its worth a bet.
#3 Come On Dover (4/1) – Taking a massive class drop, he showed good early speed before fading last start. He looks to be rounding into form and has run multiple races early in the year that would blow this field away.


Reduction in the rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus acquisition in surgical wards by rapid screening for colonization: a prospective, cross-over study.
Identification of patients colonized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and subsequent isolation and decolonization is pivotal to the control of cross infection in hospitals. The aim of this study was to establish if early identification of colonized patients using rapid methods alone reduces transmission. A prospective, cluster, two-period cross-over design was used. Seven surgical wards at a large hospital were allocated to two groups, and for the first 8 months four wards used rapid MRSA screening and three wards used a standard culture method. The groups were reversed for the second 8 months. Regardless of the method of detection, all patients were screened for nasal carriage on admission and then every 4 days. MRSA control measures remained constant. Results were analysed using a log linear Poisson regression model. A total of 12 682/13 952 patient ward episodes (PWE) were included in the study. Admission screening identified 453 (3.6%) MRSA-positive patient ward episodes, with a further 268 (2.2%) acquiring MRSA. After adjusting for other variables, rapid screening was shown to statistically reduce MRSA acquisition, with patients being 1.49 times (p 0.007) more likely to acquire MRSA in wards where they were screened using the culture method. Screening of surgical patients using rapid testing resulted in a statistically significant reduction in MRSA acquisition. This result was achieved in a routine surgical service with high bed occupancy and low availability of isolation rooms, making it applicable to the majority of health-care systems worldwide.


I walked around Park Slope and its surrounding areas of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill. I love strolling along the tree-lined streets admiring the brownstone and rowhouses, taking note of the picturesque Christmas decorations and lighting unfolding.
On the main shopping avenues, I expect to see the same. I discover storefronts decorated with colored lights, fake snow and lovely gift-giving displays. But I am also disappointed to find many storefronts and restaurants are closed, the windows advertising lease agents and realtors. There's nothing as lonely as a vacant main street.

This either means that the icon hasn't been added to cPanel or that the frontend hasn't been installed at all. You can check this by trying to access it manually (by replacing everything after /x3/ in the URL with /xbackup/). If you get a 404 then it isn't installed at all, if you see the interface the icon isn't added. Either way you'll need to ask a sysop to sort this for you.
The most common cause is that the backup server which is actually taking the backups and the backup server the UI is trying to access don't match. If you have root access to the server you can edit /usr/local/cpanel/base/xbackup/func.php with the backupserver which is mentioned in the file /root/xbackup/backup_runner.php. If you don't, you'll need to ask a director or sysop to make this change for you.
Sometimes a backup may seem to finish restoring but files/parts of the database is missing. If the site is particularly large that would indicate that the backup restore script is timing out. It is possible to restore backups manually through ssh, but this needs to be done carefully, so it's best to ask the help of someone who knows how to show you the process.

Sen. Cynthia Villar apologizes for offending middle-class workers
Senator Cynthia Villar apologized for her remarks on middle-class workers
(C) Manila Bulletin
MANILA – Senator Cynthia Villar apologized on Wednesday "humbly" apologized for her remarks and seeming "insensitive" comments against middle-class families.
In a statement, Villar said her comments were not "meant to be an affront to the hardworking middle class of the country."
"I might have framed my questions and statements in such a manner that made it seem I was insensitive to the plight of the middle income sector. I am NOT. If I have offended anyone with my statements, I humbly apologize," the senator added.
Villar, who is the country's richest senator, drew flak from netizens after saying the government shouldn't extend cash assistance to middle-class families affected by the coronavirus lockdown because they were still receiving salaries.
She compared it against the 2015 census of 22 million households in the country and came to the conclusion that 18 million are included in the middle-income families.
"The poor are being deprived, while middle-class families are benefiting from the assistance" she said.
According to data, there are estimated 24.6 million families in 2020 wherein 18 million could be considered as belonging to the "no work, no pay" sector. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has rolled out P5,000 cash aids to workers whose companies either implemented flexible work arrangements or had temporarily closed due to the government's lockdown to curb the spread of the virus.

Phthalates are found in adhesives, beauty products, fragrances, vinyl floors, polyvinyl
June 14, 2017 Sean Weaver
Phthalates are found in adhesives, beauty products, fragrances, vinyl floors, polyvinyl chloride tube, and certain playthings and medical items. Regarding to a written report from the Centers for Disease Control and Avoidance as well as the Country wide Toxicology Plan, published in the October 2000 issue of EHP, phthalate exposure is more extensive than previously suspected, especially in women aged 20C40 years. Other studies have pointed to possible links with asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in children as well as altered genital development in male infants. The new lupus findings add to a growing list of potential health effects caused by these chemicals. In lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and the bodys own cells and tissues. The immune system makes antibodies against the body itself, causing inflammation, tissue injury, and pain. Up to 1 1.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with lupus, and another 16,000 develop the disease each year, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. While investigating the gene sequence of a monoclonal antibody used as a marker for tumor growth, biochemist Swapan Ghosh, interim chair of the Life Sciences Department at Indiana State University, noticed that it shared 98% similarity with an antibody protein component (light chain) made by NZB mice, a popular model for autoimmune diseases. In lupus, such antibodies attack DNA in the kidneys, heart, and lungs. The finding, published in the December 2003 issue of Immunology, was a surprise: I was not learning lupus or autoimmune illnesses whatsoever, says Ghosh. But he got benefit of the unpredicted turn and offers launched some experiments to help expand explore the phthalateClupus connection. Vicriviroc Malate In the most recent study, Ghosh and graduate student So-Yon Lim injected four types of mice, including NZB mice, with di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, or DEHP. Primarily, all of the mice generated antiphthalate antibodies, but just the lupus-prone NZB mice created nephritis, which resulted in kidney failing and early loss of life. The additional mice created antiphthalate antibodies primarily, however the antibodies had been counteracted by Compact disc8+ suppressor T cells, which avoided kidney harm. Theres different things about the immune system systems of NZB mice [that makes them even more vunerable to phthalates], says Ghosh. The facts of the analysis are reported in the August 2005 problem of the Journal of Autoimmunity. Even though the phthalateClupus connection continues to be observed only in mice, a lot of things within the mouse disease fighting capability are actually true in humans, says Ghosh. Alternatively, not everything observed in a mouse model demonstrates what goes on in human beings, cautions Betty Gemstone, main of rheumatology at Columbia College or university. Although Ghoshs email address details are definately not applicable to human beings, they are doing raise many questions for long term studies for the potential phthalateClupus link in people. Perform lupus patients possess high degrees of antiphthalate antibodies? Ghosh programs to display lupus individuals and healthful people in the foreseeable future to learn. Does contact with phthalates raise the risk for lupus? He programs to explore this, as well, by measuring blood levels in workers exposed to phthalates in the plastics manufacturing industry. Lupus is five times more common in women than men. Might this be because women use more phthalate-containing cosmetics and perfumes than men do? The American Chemistry Council (ACC), an industry trade group, has criticized Ghoshs study because he combined DEHP to proteins like bovine serum albumin. The attached proteins may cause autoimmune and allergic responses, says Marian Stanley, director of the ACCs Phthalate Esters Panel. Ghosh counters, We also studied DEHP not complexed to a protein, and it evoked an anti-DNA response. He explains that he attached a main metabolite of DEHP to proteins because some studies have suggested that phthalate metabolites show an affinity for albumin in the body. So far, exposure to ultraviolet light is the only environmental factor that has been clearly linked to lupus in genetically susceptible patients. As lupus researchers continue to investigate other environmental causes, we need to be open-minded, but not leap to conclusions, Gemstone says.. well mainly because altered genital advancement in male babies. The brand new lupus results add to an increasing set of potential wellness effects due to these chemical substances. In lupus, the disease fighting capability loses its capability to inform the difference between international substances (antigens) as well as the bodys personal cells and cells. The disease fighting capability makes antibodies against your body itself, leading to inflammation, tissue damage, and discomfort. Up to at least one 1.5 million People in america have been identified as having lupus, and another 16,000 develop the condition each year, based on the Lupus Foundation of America.

Does contact with phthalates raise the risk for lupus? He programs to explore this, as well, by measuring bloodstream levels in employees subjected to phthalates in the plastics processing industry. Lupus is certainly five times more prevalent in females than guys. Might this end up being because women make use of more phthalate-containing cosmetic makeup products and perfumes than guys perform?
