Das Deutsche Spring- und Dressurderby (Eigenschreibweise: Deutsches Spring- und Dressur-Derby)  ist ein internationales Reitturnier mit Wettbewerben im Springreiten und im Dressurreiten. Das seit 1920 in Hamburg-Klein Flottbek ausgetragene Deutsche Spring-Derby zählt zu den traditionsreichsten Veranstaltungen seiner Art. Mit seinen besonderen Hindernissen wie etwa dem Großen Wall, Pulvermanns Grab oder den Holsteiner Wegesprüngen ist der seither unveränderte Parcours einer der längsten und schwierigsten im Springreiten. Auf eine lange Tradition kann auch das Deutsche Dressur-Derby verweisen, das 2016 zum 58. Mal ausgetragen wurde.

Seit 2016 ist der Derbypark in Hamburg-Klein Flottbek Etappe der Global Champions League.

Allgemeines
Laut Angaben des Veranstalters besuchten im Jahr 2016 über 90.000 Besucher das Turnier. Das Turnier wird gemeinsam vom Norddeutschen und Flottbeker Reitverein und der En Garde Marketing veranstaltet, bis einschließlich 2024 besteht ein Kooperationsvertrag.

Die internationalen Dressurprüfungen auf Grand-Prix-Niveau sind seit 2011 jeweils als CDI 4* ausgeschrieben. Daneben werden auch internationale Dressuren auf Intermediaire-Niveau (als CDI 2*) und nationale Dressurprüfungen ausgetragen.

Das Programm der Springprüfungen auf dem Derbyplatz umfasst seit 2008 zum einen die Prüfungen eines CSI 5* für die Reiter aus dem In- und Ausland. Beginnend mit der Einlaufprüfung am Mittwoch über das Championat von Hamburg am Donnerstag findet der CSI 5* seinen Abschluss beim Großen Preis im Rahmen der Global Champions Tour am Samstag.

Daneben finden ebenfalls ab Mittwoch für die Derbyreiter Prüfungen statt, deren Abschliß das Deutsche Spring-Derby am Sonntag ist. Diese Prüfungen waren bis 2016 als CSI 3* ausgeschrieben. Seit 2017 sieht die Ausschreibung hier einen CSI 4* vor, der neben einer Derby-Tour mit den typischen Derbyprüfungen auch eine neue Classic Tour mit weiteren Springprüfungen umfasst. Außerdem werden als CSIYH 1* Springprüfungen für junge 7- und 8-jährige Springpferde sowie eine internationale Springreiter-Amateur-Tour (CSIAm-A/CSIAm-B) ausgerichtet.

Das Preisgeld betrug 2018 insgesamt rund 1.000.000 €. Hiervon entfielen über 600.000 € auf die CSI 5*-Tour mit dem Großen Preis mit 300.000 € Dotation als Höhepunkt. Das Deutsche Spring-Derby war mit 120.000 € dotiert. Die Dressurprüfung, das Deutsche Dressur-Derby, war mit 30.000 € dotiert.

Neben den beiden parallel stattfindenden Derbys wurde ab 1950 für eine Reihe von Jahren auch das Deutsche Fahrderby in Klein Flottbek ausgetragen.

Das für den 20. bis 24. Mai 2020 geplante Turnier musste wegen der COVID-19-Pandemie verschoben werden. Auch im Jahr 2021 wird das Turnier aufgrund der Corona-Schutzvorschriften nicht in gewohnter Form ausgetragen. Stattdessen wird Ende August 2021 eine Etappe der Global Champions Tour 2021 mit verringerter Zuschauerzahl im Derbypark durchgeführt.

Deutsches Spring-Derby

Das Deutsche Spring-Derby, teilweise auch Hamburger Derby genannt, wird seit 1920 in Hamburg-Klein Flottbek ausgetragen. Es gilt als eines der bedeutendsten Derbys im Springreiten und wird in Fachkreisen auch als das schwierigste Derby weltweit bezeichnet. Traditionell ist das Deutsche Spring-Derby der Publikums-Höhepunkt des Turniers.

Das besondere an diesem Derby ist der 1230 m lange Parcours, der vom passionierten Jagdreiter Eduard Pulvermann gestaltet und seit 1920 weder in seiner Linienführung noch in seinen Hindernissen verändert wurde. Lediglich die Höhe der Sprünge und vor allem die Tiefe der Stangenauflagen wurden über die Jahrzehnte nach und nach dem Leistungsniveau angepasst, um den Schwierigkeitsgrad trotz des verbesserten Bodens zu erhalten.

Unter den Naturhindernissen, die der holsteinischen Landschaft entnommen sind, ist wohl das bedeutendste bzw. das attraktionsreichste Hindernis der Große Wall. Nur einen Galoppsprung hinter dem Wallabstieg steht die weiße Planke, an der in der Geschichte des Derbys die meisten Springfehler zustande kamen. Ein weiteres bekanntes Hindernis ist Pulvermanns Grab. Der Parcours weist eine für heutige Verhältnisse ungewöhnliche Länge auf. Er fordert also neben einem gewissen Springvermögen in besonderem Maße Mut, Vertrauen und Kondition von Pferd und Reiter.

Seit in internationalen Prüfungen schon der zweite Ungehorsam des Pferdes zum Ausschluss führt, hat die Zahl der Ausschlüsse trotz hochkarätiger Starterfelder im Spring-Derby deutlich zugenommen.

Ab 2001 war das Deutsche Spring-Derby Teil der der Riders Tour, von 2002 bis 2010 als erste Wertungsprüfung der Riders Tour. Von 2011 bis 2019 bildet es die zweite Station der Turnierserie. Das Spring-Derby fand im Jahr 2019 zum neunzigsten Mal statt. Nach zwei Jahren Derbypause wurde das Spring-Derby 2022 wieder ausgetragen. Es ist jedoch nicht mehr Teil der Riders Tour, nach Angaben der Turnierorganisatoren passe das veränderte Niveau der Riders Tour nicht mehr mit dem Spring-Derby zusammen.

Sieger des Deutschen Spring-Derbys

Fritz Thiedemann steht mit fünf Siegen und 19 Platzierungen auf Rang 8 und aufwärts.

Großer Preis

Während das Deutsche Spring-Derby für die Zuschauer der Turnierhöhepunkt ist, hat diese Stellung bei den internationalen Springreitern zunehmend der am Samstag ausgetragene Große Preis eingenommen. Im Jahr 2008 schloss der Veranstalter Volker Wulff einen Kooperationsvertrag mit dem Initiator der Global Champions Tour, Jan Tops, ab. Damit wurde der Großer Preis Etappe der Global Champions Tour. Er ist allein mit 300.000 € ausgeschrieben und ist damit die zweithöchstdotierte Springprüfung in Deutschland.

Beim Großen Preis handelte es sich bis 2007 und wieder seit 2017 um eine internationale Springprüfung mit Stechen. In den Jahren dazwischen war die Prüfung als internationale Springprüfung mit zwei Umläufen und Stechen ausgeschrieben. Von 2008 bis 2011 trug der Große Preis die Zusatzbezeichnung Global Champions Tour von Deutschland.

Sieger im Großen Preis von Hamburg (seit 2002)

Anmerkungen:

Deutsches Dressur-Derby

Für das Deutsche Dressur-Derby qualifizieren sich die drei erfolgreichsten Reiter mehrerer Qualifikationsprüfungen. Im Finale hat jeder der drei Reiter sowohl sein Pferd als auch die Pferde seiner Konkurrenten in einer Dressurprüfung der Klasse S mit Piaffe und Passage vorzustellen. Die Ergebnisse eines jeden Reiters werden am Ende addiert, um den Sieger zu ermitteln.

Das Deutsche Dressur-Derby wurde 1955 zum ersten Male ausgetragen. In den ersten zehn Jahren wurde das Dressur-Derby sechs Mal von Willi Schultheis und vier Mal von Reiner Klimke gewonnen. Zu dieser Zeit wurde diese Dressurprüfung als eine der bedeutendsten Dressurprüfungen der internationalen Reiterei bezeichnet. Ab 1965 wurde das Dressur-Derby nach Damen und Herren getrennt ausgeschrieben.

Im Laufe der Zeit verlor das Deutsche Dressur-Derby zunehmend an Bedeutung. In den 1990er Jahren wurde es vom Gelände des Spring-Derbys zum Hemmingstedter Weg (etwa 1,5 Kilometer vom übrigen Turniergelände entfernt) ausgelagert. Hier fand es beinahe unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit statt. In dieser Zeit wurde auch der Pferdewechsel abgeschafft.

Als Paul Schockemöhle Ende 1999 Sportlicher Direktor beim Deutschen Spring- und Dressurderby wurde, entschied er, die Dressur zurückzuholen und das Finale wieder mit einem Pferdewechsel zu entscheiden. Das Deutsche Dressur-Derby müsse, ebenso wie das Deutsche Spring-Derby, etwas Besonderes sein. Dies stieß jedoch bei den Dressurreitern auf Widerstand, da drei Runden an einem Vormittag die Dressurpferde zu sehr strapazieren würden.

Daraufhin meldete Schockemöhles langjähriger Freund und Geschäftspartner Ullrich Kasselmann aus seinem Pferdebestand (ihm gehören rund 200 Sportpferde) stets drei zur Teilnahme an, mit dem Ziel, mit diesen die Mindestpunktzahl für eine Finalteilnahme zu erreichen. Diese Pferde werden den für das Finale qualifizierten Reitern dann für den Endkampf angeboten. Trotz dieser Bemühungen fiel das Deutsche Dressur-Derby in den Jahren 2001 und 2002 aus. Auch im Jahr 2003 hieß es zunächst, dass das Dressur-Derby aufgrund eines Streits zwischen den Veranstaltern und dem Bezirksamt Hamburg-Altona nicht ausgetragen werden könne. Am 1. Juni 2003 konnte dann doch das Dressur-Derby im Hamburger Derbypark ausgetragen werden.

Um auch die junge Reitergeneration an den Modus des Pferdewechsels heranzuführen, wurden zwei neue Prüfungsserien im Rahmen des Deutschen Dressur-Derby geschaffen: seit 2009 reiten die Ponyreiter in Hamburg das Deutsche Pony-Dressur-Derby aus; seit 2010 finden zwei Dressurprüfungen für Reiter der Altersklasse U25 statt, die zweite hiervon mit Pferdewechsel.

Im Jahr 2009 wurde in Hamburg-Klein Flottbek das fünfzigste Deutsche Dressur-Derby ausgetragen, aufgrund eines Zählungsfehlers wurde das Jubiläum im Jahr 2010 nachbegangen und die Zählung ab dem Jahr 2011 korrigiert. 2010 werden der Grand Prix (Qualifikation zum Deutschen Dressurderby), der Grand Prix Spécial und die Grand Prix Kür erstmals als internationales Dressurturnier (CDI 3*) ausgetragen. Das Dressurderby selbst war jedoch weiterhin national ausgeschrieben.

Aufgrund einer Sondergenehmigung der FEI wird ab 2011 auch das Dressurderby selbst als verkürzter Grand Prix mit Pferdewechsel international ausgeschrieben, bislang war hierfür im Reglement der FEI keine eigene Dressurprüfung vorgesehen.

Mit der internationalen Ausschreibung änderte sich jedoch auch die Nutzungsmöglichkeit von Leihpferden, diese müssen nun jeweils in der Qualifikationsprüfung (dem Grand Prix) am Start gewesen sein, der Start kann jedoch mit einem anderen Reiter erfolgt sein. In den ersten Jahren dieser neuen Regelung führte dies bei mehreren Teilnehmern für Verunsicherungen und zum Rückzug der Startbereitschaft bei der finalen Prüfung. Hierbei trat jedoch eine Sonderregelung des Derbys in Kraft: durch den Nichtstart der qualifizierten Teilnehmer wurden diese rückwirkend im Grand Prix de Dressage (der Qualifikationsprüfung) disqualifiziert. In das Finale rücken die nächstbesten Teilnehmer des Qualifikations-Grand Prix nach.

Bedingt durch diese Regelung kam es 2011 zu einer Besonderheit: Kathleen Keller, Tochter des Dressur-Derby-Siegers von 2003 (Dolf-Dietram Keller), qualifizierte sich sowohl für den Pferdewechsel in der U25-Tour als auch für das Deutsche Dressur-Derby und gewann beide Prüfungen auch. Im Jahr 2014 fand die Prüfung mit Pferdewechsel zum ersten Mal überhaupt ohne deutsche Beteiligung statt. Frederic Wandres gewann im Jahr 2019 binnen vier Wochen mit dem Berufsreiterchampionat Dressur und dem Deutschen Dressurderby die beiden großen Wettbewerbe mit Pferdewechsel in Deutschland.

Why should healthcare organizations begin to implement an information governance program now when there are so many other pressing initiatives? The answer lies in the strategic management of information. All of these initiatives involve data and information—having an information governance program in place will support organizations in addressing the information and data components of these initiatives.
Among the challenges in healthcare are government regulations which mandate that healthcare organizations store and protect data. They must also ensure that it is readily available whenever needed for compliance audits or litigation to prevent severe penalties or higher costs. Regulations place pressure on today's healthcare organizations. Healthcare systems will need to optimize the flat or reduced reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid. Better strategies that help mitigate the negative financial impacts of healthcare reform need to be employed in healthcare organizations.
An information governance program will manage all the competing healthcare initiatives and help prioritize them. This will fit into the organization's need to have a plan and a strategy. Unlike most businesses and industries, healthcare is really about managing all facets of information.
A leading objective organizations should hold is to transform the collected data into usable, meaningful information to drive the organization towards achievement of these three core goals. After achieving these goals, the organization can derive business intelligence from the data and information assets. Business intelligence is using, applying, and converting information assets to assist the healthcare organization in driving toward the achievement of their strategic business goals. To achieve these objectives, the information must be trustworthy and accurate. Information governance helps ensure that information is actionable.
What are the business drivers and risks and benefits?
Health organizations of all types are working to leverage the power of electronic health records (EHR). These organizations are also discovering that an EHR introduces challenges and complications—many of which relate to information governance. Done well, information governance makes it possible for organizations to utilize their EHR to support better patient care, improve patient health management, and realize greater efficiency with reduced costs. Poorly planned information governance can erode or even eliminate the benefits of implementing an EHR. There is an increasing emphasis on transparency and accountability.
Information governance provides clear policies, standards, and structures to ensure integrity and the ability to trust the information. The existence of a strong information governance program allows for the freedom of trust in the information. Without a well thought out information governance strategy, it will become increasingly difficult for healthcare organizations to meet these challenges and have the information necessary for efficient operations, as well as meeting compliance needs while controlling the significant costs of associated with managing and maintaining large volumes of information.
This is the second article in a six-part web series, Information Governance 101, that discusses information governance programs and seeks to define the terms associated with information governance. The next article will discuss how an information governance program is used to achieve actionable and trustworthy information.

Exhibition - Laura Aguilar: Show and Tell
Saturday, Feb 13, 2021 at 12:00pm
Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art
26 Wooster Street
www.leslielohman.org
Laura Aguilar: Show and Tell is the first comprehensive retrospective of photographer Laura Aguilar (b. 1959 San Gabriel, CA, d. 2018 Long Beach, CA) , assembling more than one hundred thirty works produced over three decades. Through photographs and videos that are frequently political as well as personal, and which traverse performative, feminist, and queer art genres, Aguilar offers candid portrayals of herself, her friends and family, and LGBT and Latinx communities. Aguilar's now iconic triptych, Three Eagles Flying (1990), set the stage for her future work by using her nude body as an overt and courageous rebellion against the colonization of Latinx identities — racial, gendered, cultural and sexual. Her practice intuitively evolved over time as she struggled to negotiate and navigate her ethnicity and sexuality, her challenges with depression and auditory dyslexia, and the acceptance of her large body. This exhibition tells the story of the artist who for most of her life struggled to communicate with words, yet ironically emerged as a powerful voice for numerous and diverse marginalized groups.
Presented throughout the exhibition are the central themes and creative processes Aguilar undertook from the 1980s through her latest series produced in 2007. From early photography, including portraits of friends and other artists within the Chicana/o art community, Aguilar moved to courageous nude self-portraits, while her emerging lesbian identity and political activism within Los Angeles's gay and lesbian community began to inform her work. Later series are rooted in more introspective and spiritual explorations, as Aguilar's ongoing personal discovery led to the works for which she has come to be most recognized for — nude self-portraiture in nature. Throughout her practice, Aguilar disrupts normative concepts of beauty and the female form while specifically utilizing the gendered body as a site for social critique.
Laura Aguilar: Show and Tell is organized by the Vincent Price Art Museum in collaboration with the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, and is guest curated by Sybil Venegas, Independent Art Historian and Curator and Professor Emerita of Chicana/o Studies at East Los Angeles College.

Mohamed Noor Sarman, who is affectionately known as Md Noor, is the longest-standing member of Singapore Dance Theatre.
And that was exactly what Mohamed Noor Sarman (Md Noor) did as he sat in Victoria Theatre at 'Beginnings', the very first production by Singapore Dance Theatre (SDT), in June 1988. "When I sat in the audience at that performance, I knew deep within me that I had to be up there on stage, and not sitting comfortably in the seats," said Md Noor as he reached far back into his memory. Brimming with a new found determination and zeal for the stage, the 24-year-old jazz-trained dancer found himself knocking on the doors of SDT, irrespective of his lack in professional ballet training. Call it impulsive or pure bravery, but his voracity saw the door to his lifelong career being flung wide open as Co-Founders Anthony Then and Ms Goh Soo Khim offered him a place in the company.
Years before his entry into SDT, Sarman's initial dancing days started with his younger sister's malay cultural dance group, which led to his pursuit of a scholarship at Dance Arts Singapore, where he was given free jazz and ballet classes with Rose Borromeo and Tony Lacer, respectively. At the age of 16, Md Noor owned his first pair of ballet shoes, and he has never given up on them since.
Md Noor danced with the Singapore Armed Forces' Music and Drama Company in 1982, where he continued to sit under the coaching of Tony Lacer; and in 1984, he earned a scholarship with Singapore Ballet Academy, where he had the opportunity to be under the tutelage of Ms Goh Soo Khim and the late Mr Then, whom he holds dearly to his heart. Md Noor was also a full-time dancer with the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation in 1987, where he danced on the same stage as popular singers like Fei Xiang and on TV programmes like Miss Universe.
Md Noor's transition from commercial television dancing to professional performance with SDT in 1988 was no doubt an arduous uphill climb. Surrounded by company dancers who were far more developed in their craft, Md Noor's learning curve was a steep ascend. Trained in jazz dance, he had to trudge forwards against the tides of a less than familiar art form – ballet. It was pure grit and passion that kept his tenacity aflame. He had to pick up technical skills much quicker than others in order to catch up with others, and "missing one class felt like missing an entire year of classes" to him. But no matter how tiring it may have been, all the effort put in was neither burdensome nor dreaded; instead his eagerness to absorb as much as he could stem from a deep longing to learn and grow as a dancer. It was his intense fervor to give all that he had within himself into this art form that set his heart ablaze upon unchartered grounds.
He journeyed with the company through every mountain and valley, and bore witness to the coming together and furthering of our nation's premier dance company in the past 27 years. From traveling with the company to Paris, China, Japan, amongst many other countries, to being a part of every milestone the company had. Just as he has seen SDT grow from its foundational years, the company has also seen him grown from an amateur dancer to the well-loved Ballet Master that he is today.
The highlights of his professional career are countless; they include dancing for the Presidents of Singapore, meeting Singaporean choreographer Choo-San Goh and taking his class, and receiving a scholarship from the French government to study in Paris, as well as the National Arts Council's Young Artist Award in 1995. He also had the opportunity to further his dance studies in New York, and attended a summer school in London.
He fondly remembers repertoires like Gemini by Vincente Nebrada, where he did a pas de deux with fellow SDT dancer, Jamaludin Jalil, and Remiscing the Moon at the opening of the Esplanade Theatre, where Boi Sakti incorporated water and other elements in his unique choreography. Md Noor was cast for four different roles in SDT's first full-length production in 1995, The Nutcracker by Anthony Then; and his choreography, Living Greens, was staged across the world. Choo-San Goh's Birds of Paradise and Goh Soo Khim's children production, Peter and the Wolf, are also cherished memories for him, and so was flying across the stage with a harness in Sakiko Oshima's Whose Voices Cries Out.
His journey is filled with many sentimental moments, far too many for him to count, but one lasting memory that runs deeper than all is the belief and support he has received from the pioneers of this company.
He was given the opportunity to help stage The Nutcracker in 1995, and was asked to be the Assistant Ballet Master in 1997 while still continuing as a dancer. He was later appointed as Ballet Master in 2009, and retired as a professional dancer. It was a transition where he had to change his perspective towards his responsibilities in the company, and he had to learn a different skill set of teaching and guiding younger dancers towards achieving their fullest potential.
These were significant personal turning points for him in his career. Never did the 16-year-old Sarman, who grew up in a traditional Singaporean Malay family, ever dare to dream of being a Ballet Master of Singapore's national dance company, and much less the privilege to work alongside Mr Janek Schergen. Md Noor's great respect for Janek is grounded in the years of coaching and guidance he received as a young dancer, and Sarman still finds it difficult to believe that he gets to sit and teach with Janek in rehearsals today. But here he is, fulfilling what he once told a news reporter who asked him what his idea of success would be, "to grow and mature with the company".

JPD Reports
Wynne judge guilty of wire fraud, witness tampering
Oct 5, 2017 NEA Report Newscast 0
LITTLE ROCK—A former Arkansas state judge pleaded guilty today to wire fraud and witness tampering for perpetrating a seven year-long fraud and bribery scheme in which he dismissed cases on his docket in exchange for personal benefits, and then bribed a witness in an attempt to obstruct an official investigation into the scheme. Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Blanco of the Justice Department's Criminal Division made the announcement.
O. Joseph Boeckmann, 71, of Wynne, Arkansas, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of witness tampering. The plea was entered before U.S. District Judge Kristine G. Baker of the Eastern District of Arkansas. Boeckmann has been on home detention since his arrest in October 2016 and will remain on home detention until he is sentenced at a later date.
The news continues now...
According to admissions made in connection with his plea, from 2009 to 2015, Boeckmann served as a district judge for the First Judicial Circuit of Arkansas. Boeckmann admitted to corruptly using his official position to dismiss traffic citations and misdemeanor criminal charges for young men in exchange for acts that he claimed were "community service," but which actually benefited Boeckmann himself. Among other things, Boeckmann admitted that on some occasions he took official action to order these individuals to perform "community service" and used his access to these individuals during their purported "community service" to take photographs of them in compromising positions. In other cases, Boeckmann dismissed pending charges against defendants in exchange for sexually related conduct.
Boeckmann admitted that the corrupt use of his office defrauded the State of Arkansas and its citizens of their right to Boeckmann's honest services and also defrauded various cities and counties in Arkansas, as well as the State of Arkansas and the Arkansas courts, of money and property that they should have received as fines or fees from the individuals whose cases were fraudulently dismissed.
In addition, Boeckmann admitted that during his scheme he instructed various individuals not to tell anyone about their "community service" sentences. After Boeckmann learned he was under investigation, Boeckmann also arranged to pay a witness to change his testimony. Specifically, Boeckmann admitted that in the fall of 2015, he learned of a witness who had provided information to the Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission (JDDC) regarding Boeckmann's practice of imposing personally beneficial "community service" sentences. Boeckmann admitted that he directed another individual to pay the witness to write a letter recanting the information the witness gave to the JDDC. According to his admissions, Boeckmann did this in order to prevent that witness from providing truthful information about Boeckmann to law enforcement and to influence, delay, and prevent that witness's testimony in an official proceeding.
The FBI investigated this case with assistance of the Arkansas State Police and the Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission. Trial Attorneys Peter Halpern, Jonathan Kravis, and Simon Cataldo of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section prosecuted the case, with assistance from Special Prosecutor Jack McQuary of the State of Arkansas Office of the Prosecutor Coordinator

If you believe that your attorney committed malpractice, you should seek the advice of a malpractice attorney as soon as possible before the statute of limitations expires. The statute of limitations is the time period you have to file a claim in court before your right to file that claim is forever barred.
In Illinois, the statute of limitations for legal malpractice claims is two (2) years from the date you discover or should have discovered the malpractice, but in no event more than six (6) years from the date of the actual malpractice. So, if you don't file your claim in court within the appropriate time period, you will never be able to do so after that.
Example - Your personal injury case was dismissed eight (8) years ago because your attorney failed to file a motion on time. Your attorney's failure is malpractice. However, even if your legal malpractice case would have been successful, the time limit to file has passed and you can never file the case against your attorney even if you just found out about it.
In many instances, it is not necessarily as straightforward as it may appear because the other side can argue about when you discovered or should have discovered the malpractice and it is up to you, the plaintiff, to have taken reasonable measures to discover the malpractice.
Ask yourself and tell your malpractice attorney during the consultation: What happened? How did you discover the malpractice? What was the timeline of events?
Although you have up to six years to sue, that's only if you didn't discover the negligence on time. If you knew the lawyer screwed up three years ago, but didn't pursue the case it hasn't been six years you are out of luck. Our advice is that as soon as you know a mistake has been made you need to look in to your options.
Yes. In situations where the plaintiff is disabled at the time of the malpractice, the plaintiff then has two years from the date his disability is removed to file his legal malpractice claim.
"Disabled" means in a coma or determined by a court to be insane or otherwise lacking the capacity to discover the malpractice. So, for example, if a plaintiff is in a coma when the legal malpractice occurred and then comes out of the coma years later, he has two years from the date he comes out of the coma to file his claim.
Also, the statute of limitations can be extended if case is still going on. In other words, two years ago you knew your attorney committed an error, but it's only malpractice if it leads to irreparable harm. So, you might have to see how the case turns out before filing your legal malpractice claim. That said be very careful relying on that as it's not a guarantee.
In general these exceptions are very rare.
Even if you believe the time limit has run out, talk to an attorney. A consultation is free and the legal malpractice attorneys we recommend work on a contingency basis. So, it will cost you nothing to find out if you may still have a valid legal malpractice claim.
If you have questions about suing a lawyer in Illinois please contact us at any time. Our service is free and confidential. We will do whatever we can to help you.


Consumer groups in Europe argue Google doesn't have a valid legal basis for processing users' location data and is processing personal information that violates the EU's General Data Protection Regulation.
Google is in hot water with a handful of consumer advocacy groups in European countries over charges the company is improperly collecting location tracking data.
The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC), a European consumer interest group, levied a complaint against the search engine giant last week that Google's "deceptive practices" are a violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules.
Consumer groups in seven countries, Norway, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, and Sweden, filed complaints via the BEUC on November 27.
Datatilsynet, the national data protection authority for Norway, included a thorough 16-page walkthrough of how Google processes location data in its complaint, stressing that there's a lack of valid consent and a lack of a valid legal basis around how it's done.
For their argument the groups are relying on the fact that GDPR defines consent as "any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication" by a "statement" or by "clear affirmative action" from the data subject.
In the eyes of the complainants, Google is biased towards the benefits of leaving Location History - a Google Account–level setting that saves where users go with their devices - on, something that consumer groups say is spurring users to give their consent to turn and leave it on," we consider that the consent obtained for the purposes of Location History is not 'specific', nor 'informed', contrary to what is required by the GDPR."
When a new user signs up for a Google account, the company has a special section users have to click through to learn about how Google will process their data. The European consumer organizations claim that section fails to meet GDPR standards.
"The relevant information regarding what Location History actually entails is hidden behind extra clicks and submenus, and the information about what the data is used for is ambiguous and unclear," Norway's Data Protection Authority complaint reads.
The complaint recalls recent lawsuits filed against Google in the U.S.
One suit, filed over the summer, argued the company violated federal law outlined by the Federal Trade Commission, in addition to the California Invasion of Privacy Act, by tracking users even after they had turned off the Location History setting.
That suit was triggered after an investigation by the Associated Press, corroborated by computer science researchers at Princeton, found that Google was storing location data, even if a device was explicitly told not to.
The complaints last week were prompted after Forbrukerrådet, the Consumer Council of Norway, released a report, "Every step you take," that looked at how pervasive Google's tracking is.
"In our opinion, the scale in which Google tracks the location of its users breaches the GDPR. Users have not given free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent to the collection and use of location data, particularly considering the scale of tracking going on," Gro Mette Moen, a senior adviser with Forbrukerrådet, said last week.

Marshall Morgan commits for '12 class
The nation's top kicker for the 2012 class has committed to Coach Richt. Marshall Morgan of Coral Springs joins CJ Curry as commits for next year's class.
[Morgan] picked Georgia over Florida State, Florida, Virginia Tech and TCU.
"We could hear coach Richt screaming on the phone he was so excited," said Tim Conrad, Morgan's special teams coach at Archbishop McCarthy High School who also coaches Morgan individually.
The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Morgan was 15 of 16 on field goals as a junior with a long of 53 yards. He also averaged 43.6 yards per punt. Morgan will arrive at Georgia after Walsh, from Boca Raton, Fla., wraps up his Bulldogs career.
"I'll be able to start right away," Morgan said. "I love Georgia, the whole atmosphere. Everyone's just good people. When I went there, I knew I fit like a glove. It was just perfect."
Here's my post from about a month ago on Morgan. Quite the steal from the heart of Florida, especially for a kid that can boom it like Walsh...and Butler.

Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is a convertible carbon fibre beauty
Like your cars fast, made of carbon fibre and roofless? Keep reading — Aston Martin has just revealed the Volante version of the Vanquish, a stunning convertible that also happens to be well endowed in the performance department.
Thanks to the 'AM11' 6.0-litre V12 borrowed from its coupe brother, the Vanquish Volante can hit 0 to 62mph in an estimated 4.1 seconds before hurtling up to a top speed of 183mph. Torque and horsepower figures come in at 565bhp at 6,750rpm while peak torque of 620Nm arrives at 5,500rpm.
The Vanquish is now available in rag-top form.
The Vanquish Volante comes with a lightweight, triple-layer fabric roof that can fold in 14 seconds, so there's no need to panic if the heavens open and rain threatens to turn the car into a bath on wheels.
Every panel on the Volante is made of carbon fibre, sitting on top of an aluminium structure that uses aerospace bonding. As a result, Aston Martin claims the Vanquish Volante is 14 per cent torsionally stiffer than its predecessor. Combine that with new springs and damper settings, a 51:49 weight distribution and a 'performance-honed' 6-speed automatic transmission and the result should be pant-wettingly fun.
Space is always going to be a bit of an issue in convertibles, but somehow the new Volante has a 50 per cent larger boot, bringing the total space to 279 litres whether the roof is up or down – enough for some golf clubs and shopping, then.
The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante has a number of clever driving aid systems designed to keep you from picking bits of bonnet out of your face. The Adaptive Damping System allows you to swap between a number of driving modes, including Normal for days you want to chill, Sport when feeling more adventurous and Track for an all-out assault on the tarmac.
You also get Dynamic Stability Control, Positive Torque Control and the same front brakes as the One-77.
Prices start at £199,995 in the UK. Deliveries will begin arriving on our shores in late 2013.

Start planning your tailor-made travel to Wales with a local expert
ROUGHGUIDES.COM /EUROPE / WALES / NORTH-WALES / SNOWDONIA
The mountains of Snowdonia provide the most dramatic and alluring of all Welsh scenery, a compact, barren land of tortured ridges dividing glacial valleys, whose sheer faces belie the fact that the tallest peaks only just top 3000ft. It was to this mountain fastness that Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, the last true prince of Wales, retreated in 1277 after his first war with Edward I; it was also here that Owain Glyndŵr held on most tenaciously to his dream of regaining for the Welsh the title of Prince of Wales. Centuries later, the English came to remove the mountains: slate barons built huge fortunes from Welsh toil and reshaped the patterns of Snowdonian life forever, as men looking for steady work in the quarries left the hills and became town dwellers.
Betws-y-Coed and around
Guides and bikes
Walks from the Ogwen valley
Whitewater rafting at Bala
Thousands of hikers arrive every weekend to hike up Snowdon massif (Eryri) over steep, exacting and constantly varying terrain. Several of the ascent routes are superb, and you can always take the cog railway up to the summit café from Llanberis. But the other mountains are as good, and far less busy, and give unsurpassed views of Snowdon. The Glyderau and Tryfan – best tackled from the Ogwen Valley – are particular favourites for more experienced walkers.
But Snowdonia isn't all about walking. Small settlements are dotted in the valleys, usually coinciding with some enormous mine or quarry. Foremost among these are Blaenau Ffestiniog, where a mine opens its slate caverns for underground tours, and Beddgelert, whose former copper mines are also open to the public. The only place of any size not associated with slate mining is Betws-y-Coed, a largely Victorian resort away from the higher peaks.
A huddle of grey houses, prodigiously brightened with floral displays in summer, makes up BEDDGELERT. A sentimental tale fabricated by a wily local publican to lure punters tells how the town got its name: Gelert's Grave (bedd means burial place), an enclosure just south of town, is supposedly the final resting place of Prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth's faithful dog, Gelert, who was left in charge of the prince's infant son while he went hunting. On his return, the child was gone and the hound's muzzle was soaked in blood. Jumping to conclusions, the impetuous Llywelyn slew the dog, only to find the child safely asleep beneath its cot and a dead wolf beside him. Llywelyn hurried to his dog, which licked his hand as it died.
BETWS-Y-COED (pronounced "betoos-er-coyd"), sprawled out around the confluence of the Conwy, Llugwy and Lledr valleys, overlooked by the conifer-clad slopes of the Gwydyr Forest Park, and centred on the low cataract of Pont-y-Pair Falls, is almost totally devoted to the needs of visitors, particularly walkers – there are seven outdoor gear retailers but no decent grocery shop. The town has the best choice of accommodation in the region, but after an hour mooching around you'll soon want to head out into the hinterland. Serious mountain walkers should continue west, but for everyone else there are some delightful and popular easy strolls to the local beauty spots of the Conwy and Swallow falls.
Betws-y-coed biking
Gwydyr Forest Park, just outside town, is one of the top trail-riding locales in Wales. The classic route is the Marin Trail with mostly forest track ascents and numerous singletrack descents of varying difficulty. The scenery is great, with mountain views along the higher sections. For rental, contact Planet Fear, Holyhead Rd.
BLAENAU FFESTINIOG sits at the head of the bucolic Vale of Ffestiniog, hemmed in by stark slopes strewn with heaps of splintered slate. When clouds hunker low in this great cwm and rain sheets the grey roofs, grey walls and grey paving slabs, it can be a terrifically gloomy place. Thousands of tons of slate were once hewn from the labyrinth of underground caverns here each year, but these days the town is only kept alive by its extant slate-cavern tour, and by tourists who change from the Conwy Valley train line onto the wonderful, narrow-gauge Ffestiniog Railway, which winds up from Porthmadog.
The Welsh slate industry
The Romans roofed their Welsh houses with slate and Edward I used it extensively in his Iron Ring of castles around Snowdonia, but it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution that the demand for Welsh roofing slates rocketed. For the 1862 London Exhibition, one skilled craftsman produced a sheet of slate 10ft long, 1ft wide and a sixteenth of an inch thick – so thin it could be flexed – firmly establishing Welsh slate as the finest in the world. By 1898, Snowdonia's quarries were producing half a million tons of dressed slate a year. At Penrhyn and Dinorwig quarries, mountains were hacked away. Workers often slept through the week in damp dormitories on the mountain, and tuberculosis was common, exacerbated by the slate dust. At Blaenau Ffestiniog, the seams required mining underground, with miners having to buy their own candles, the only light they had. In spite of this, thousands left their hillside smallholdings for the burgeoning quarry towns. Few workers were allowed to join Undeb Chwarelwyr Gogledd Cymru (the North Wales Quarrymen's Union), and in 1900 the workers in Lord Penrhyn's quarry at Bethesda went on strike. They stayed out for three years, but failed to win any concessions. Those who got their jobs back were forced to work for even less money as a recession took hold, and although the two World Wars heralded mini-booms as bombed houses were replaced, the industry never recovered its nineteenth-century prosperity, and most quarries and mines closed in the 1950s. What little slate is produced today mostly goes to make floor tiles, road aggregate, and an astonishing array of kitsch ashtrays and coasters etched with mountainscapes.
LLANBERIS, ten miles west of Capel Curig, is the nearest you'll get in Wales to an alpine climbing village, its main street thronged with weather-beaten walkers and climbers. At the same time, this is very much a Welsh rural community, albeit a depleted one now that slate is no longer being torn from the flanks of Elidir Fawr, the mountain across the town's twin lakes. The town is inextricably linked with Snowdon, the highest British mountain outside Scotland.
Hardened outdoor enthusiasts sometimes dismiss Snowdon (3560ft) as overused, and it can certainly be crowded in summer when a thousand visitors a day can be pressed into the postbox-red carriages of the Snowdon Mountain Railway, while another 1500 pound the well-maintained paths. But this fine mountain massif sports some of the finest walking and scrambling in the park: hike early, late or out of season if you want a bit more solitude.
The Snowdon Mountain Railway
The Snowdon Mountain Railway is Britain's only rack-and-pinion railway, completed in 1896. Trains (sometimes pushed by seventy-year-old steam locos) still climb to the summit in just under an hour from the eastern end of Llanberis to the smart summit café (mid-May to Oct). Inside is a bar and a post office where, for a few pennies, you can enchant your friends with a "Summit of Snowdon – Copa'r Wyddfa" postmark. Times, type of locomotive and final destination vary with demand and ice conditions at the top: to avoid disappointment, buy your tickets early on clear summer days.
Ascending Snowdon
The following are justifiably the most popular of the seven accepted walking routes up Snowdon.
Llanberis Path
The easiest and longest route up Snowdon, following the rail line, which gets gradually steeper, to the "Finger Stone" at Bwlch Glas (Green Pass). This marks the arrival of the routes coming up from Pen-y-Pass to join the Llanberis Path for the final ascent to Yr Wyddfa, the summit.
Miners' Track
The easiest of the three routes up from Pen-y-Pass, a broad track leading south then west to the dilapidated remains of the former copper mines in Cwm Dyli. Skirting around the right of a lake, the path climbs more steeply to the lake-filled Cwm Glaslyn, then again to Upper Glaslyn, followed by a switchback ascent to the junction with the Llanberis Path.
Pig Track
A steeper and stonier variation on the Miners' Track, leaving from the western end of the Pen-y-Pass car park and climbing up to Bwlch y Moch (the Pass of the Pigs) before meeting the Miners' Track prior to the zigzag up to the Llanberis Path.
If you're not equipped or confident enough to get out on the rock by yourself, there are various companies who will guide you. You could also consider cycling up the mountain: in addition to many easy rides, the Llanberis Path, Snowdon Ranger Path and Pitt's Head Track to Rhyd-Ddu are open to cyclists.
High Trek Snowdonia
High Trek guide everything from straightforward hillwalking to scrambling, rock climbing (all abilities), navigation and winter climbing.
Llanberis Bike Hire
Rental and a good source of information about local rides.
Tourists hike up Snowdon, but mountain connoisseurs prefer the sharply angled peaks of Tryfan and the Glyderau, with their challenging terrain, cantilevered rocks and fantastic views back to Snowdon. If you're going to attempt the walks, arm yourself with either the 1:50,000 OS Landranger #115 or the 1:25,000 OS Outdoor Leisure #17 map.
Cwm Idwal
(1.5 miles return; 1hr; 200ft ascent). An easy hike on a well-graded path leading up to Llyn Idwal, nestled in the magnificent cirque of Cwm Idwal. The area was designated Wales's first nature reserve in 1954, after botanists discovered rare arctic-alpine plants growing here. Tackling the rough, rocky paths right around the lake can turn this into a half-day outing, partly beneath huge sloping cliffs – the Idwal Slabs.
Tryfan Miners' Track
(5 miles; 4–6hr; 2000ft ascent). The standard route up Tryfan, from the car park at Idwal Cottage. You'll need to use your hands for the final section up the South Ridge of Tryfan, past the Far South Peak to the summit. You can then tackle the 5ft jump between Adam and Eve, the two chunks of rhyolitic lava which crown this regal mountain. Don't underestimate the seriousness of the leap: it's only when you see the mountain dropping away on all sides that it hits home quite how disastrous it would be to overshoot.
The little watersports town of BALA (Y Bala), on the border of the park, twenty miles southwest of Llangollen, sits at the northern end of Wales's largest natural lake, Llyn Tegid. Nearby, waters crash down the Tryweryn River, perfect for whitewater rafting.
The National White Water Centre
Water is released on around 200 days a year at the National White Water Centre, crashing down a mile and a half of Grade III rapids where numerous rafting options include the Taster involving two runs down the course: wet-suit hire extra. The two-hour session typically gives you four runs, or you can step up a notch to the Orca Adventure involving two runs down in a normal raft followed by a chance to tackle the rapids in a more challenging two-person inflatable.

Trine senior named Orr Fellow
INDIANAPOLIS — Carly Osinski, a senior marketing major at Trine University, is one of 50 students from more than 1,200 applicants who have been accepted to the prestigious Governor Bob Orr Entrepreneurial Fellowship.
Osinski, from Noblesville, will work during her fellowship at Allegion, a security solutions company located in Carmel. She will serve in the company's marketing department, with responsibilities for product, e-commerce and sales.
"The Orr Fellowship offers many options for networking with other host companies and among other Orr Fellows. It provides opportunities for continued education and for certifications," Osinski said. "The community and instant network I will have being an Orr Fellow is invaluable. These opportunities were unbeatable for me and I had known I wanted to go through this process since I was a freshman at Trine."
Launched in 2001, the Orr Fellowship, named in honor of former Indiana Gov. Robert Orr, seeks to keep top college graduates in Indiana. Those accepted into the program complete a two-year fellowship at an Indianapolis host company, working full-time and participating in programs to develop entrepreneurship and business leadership.
Fellows receive competitive compensation and are given considerable responsibility in their roles. During the fellowship they receive professional career coaching and take part in events such as a monthly top executive speaker series. They also serve as volunteers or board members in nonprofits all over the city, and handle operations for the Orr Fellowship.
The fellowship recruits top seniors from universities in Indiana and Ohio but accepts students from any college. Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher, demonstrated leadership potential and a strong interest in entrepreneurial business or organizational leadership.
Osinski said the application and interview process took about a month and a half. By the third round, when Osinski traveled to High Alpha in downtown Indianapolis for a one-on-one interview with an Orr Fellowship board member, the number of candidates had been cut to about 400. About half of those candidates made it to the Reception on the Circle at the Indianapolis Public Library, which also included about 50 current Fellows.
After the reception, applicants submitted an essay, personal statement, updated resume and personality assessment, and those who made it through this process advanced to Finalist Day, where they could interview with host companies.
"Finalist Day was very exciting, filled with meeting many new people and companies," she said. "On Finalist Day I also received a lunch interview, making five interviews in one day for me; three hours of interviewing. After the long day, I drove back to Trine and received a very exciting call from the board member I interviewed with in round three, telling me I had received a job offer from one of the companies."
Osinski said she is not sure of her long-term career goals, but looks forward to the opportunities she will have through the fellowship for employment with Allegion or other host companies.
"The long, time-consuming hiring process paid off and I could not be happier!" she said.


The Christ-Centered Exposition Commentaries take a Christ-centered approach to exposing truths in each book of the Bible, seeking to exalt Jesus in each one.
This series is designed for busy pastors. Each passage of Scripture is outlined in a style that is helpful for sermon preparation, and you'll find many of the main points and sub-points are fully alliterated. This makes it helpful for weekly preparation of biblically faithful and gospel-saturated sermons.
Even if you are not a pastor, this series can be enjoyed by anyone who wants to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture. Each chapter concludes with a "Reflect & Discuss" section meant for small group study, personal devotion, sermon preparation, or all three.
What the Bible says is what the authors exposit. The text is carefully handled with exegetical accuracy and explained in an easy-to-read, practical, and friendly way. Each exposition has a devotional nature meant to encourage you. You'll also find this series is packed with helpful illustrations and theologically driven applications. While the primary objective is for the commentary to expose the text, much effort is given to providing inspiring and illuminating illustrations coupled with timely and timeless application.
Exegetical Accuracy - What the Bible says is what the authors expose. While not every volume in the series will be a verse-by-verse commentary, the intent is to handle the text carefully and explain it accurately.
Pastoral Consideration - While this series can be enjoyed by parents, teachers, small-group leaders, and student ministers, busy pastors will find it most helpful for weekly preparation of biblically faithful and gospel-saturated sermons. Each passage of Scripture is outlined in a style that is helpful for sermon preparation.
Illustrations & Applications - You'll find this series is packed with helpful illustrations and theologically driven applications. While the primary objective is for the commentary to exposit the text, much effort is given to providing inspiring and illuminating illustrations coupled with timely and timeless application.
Christ-Centered - As the name suggests, the editors seek to exalt Jesus from every book of the Bible. They focus on helping you understand the meaning intended by the divine Author Himself, the Holy Spirit of God.
Platt, Akin, and Merida have launched series that will give a rising generation of pastors a tremendous resource for seeing how all the Scriptures prepare for and proclaim the ministry of Christ. The pastoral focus, the preaching tools, and the redemptive insights make this a series of immediate use and great aid to pastors who want to equip their people to serve the Lord in the joyous power of the gospel—rather than in the vain pressures of servile dread of slavish fear.


Map out how threats or opportunities are linked to your objectives and you can link your risk assessment directly to what the organization is trying to achieve.
What's your risk assessment for?
You need to drill into what the specific point of each assessment is before you start but the first thing you need to do is to remember that this is a means to an end, not the end in itself. This is a critical part of your organization's decision-making process, not something that sits in isolation.
Conduct an MVA - a minimal viable assessment - that focuses on the key components to get you the results you need.
A risk is something that will have an effect on your objectives, good or bad.

Q: Android control widget layout I'm trying to make a widget which is a togglebutton like the ones in the android control widget (the quicksettings for wlan, bluetooth etc.).
Here's how it looks (@Control Widgets)
Does anyone know if this layout is contained in the android sdk or if not how I can make a layout just like that one?
I've already tried some things but I don't know how do to the stroke at the bottom.

A: Regarding to your issue I searched a little bit deeper.
See: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html
These are the classes which you can use with an appwidget to implement in your layout there is no such thing like a toggle button, but an imagebutton which I think us exactly what Google is using for the "toggle buttons". Take a closer look on the imagebutton :
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageButton.html
Then you will find out it's exactly what you are looking for.
    By default, an ImageButton looks like a regularButton, with the standard button background that changes color during different button states. The image on the surface of the button is defined either by the android:src attribute in the XML element or by thesetImageResource(int) method.

I can't imagine that such a complex layout is possible just using clean xml...
Hope it helps now!

You can put anything here, such as author information or any other text. Even easier, add a text widget to Sidebar 2. That way you don't need to touch this code.
How does the truthful answer that?

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Last Season Gets Creepy Trailer
October 27, 2020 Mr. Greg Universe
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina may be cancelled on Netflix, but at least we still have one more season of the show to wrap everything up. Just in, Netflix has dropped a new trailer, plus the premiere date for Sabrina's last hurrah.
If anything, the Netflix trailer has a lot of what we've come to expect from Chilling Adventures. Besides all the satanic witch rituals, the show is also chock-full of teen romance and angst. Besides that, we also get the return of the other Sabrina, who has come to existence thanks to some wibbly-wobbly timey whimey magic.
While I don't really expect Sabrina to be fully grown by the end of it, we should at least see a meaningful end to her arc all about growing up.
Back in July when it was announced that the show was cancelled, showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa had said in a statement (via TV Line):
"Working on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has been an incredible honor from Day One… The cast, beginning with Kiernan as everyone's favorite teen witch, has been an absolute joy. I am beyond thankful to the crew, writers, editors, assistants, and everyone for pouring so much love into this dark dream of a show. I'm also grateful to our partners at Netflix, Warner Bros., Berlanti Television, and Archie Comics for letting us tell the story we wanted to tell, the way we wanted to tell it. We can't wait for everyone to see Part Four."
Catch the final season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina when it premieres on Netflix on New Year's Eve Dec. 31.

Chris Nelson loves a challenge. The owner of Energetic Motorsports and former head of R&D at ATS Diesel Performance owns various trucks but the one he seems to enjoy the most is the one with the least horsepower. But this feeble powerplant isn't being raced on the mean streets of Denver. No, he's doing his best to eek every bit of horsepower out of his Toyota where those ponies don't come easily–at ultra-high altitudes.
An avid off-roader, Chris recently took his 1980 Toyota Hilux high above Denver to an altitude of roughly 11,000'. The Canadian truck is powered by a 22re with stock internals. The only modern thing on the truck is his iDash DataMonster which receives data from a MegaSquirt MS3 ECU. Being a tuning expert, Chris loves data. As he was traversing the mountains above Empire, Colorado, he couldn't help but notice the Density Altitude was reading 17,740 on his DataMonster. Curious as to what horsepower his truck was making, he pulled over to have a drink and opened his laptop. Copying the data log from his iDash's SD card to the laptop, he mapped the data. Because that's just what data-obsessed tuners do when taking breaks during their rock crawling expeditions. With one glance, Chris revealed his Toyota, which produced 105hp when dyno'd at 5,400', was making now producing a measly 66hp at 11,000' and 54hp at 13,000' in elevation. The lack of air density killed what little horsepower he had!
Density Altitude is the altitude relative to standard atmospheric conditions at which the air density would be equal to the indicated air density at the place of observation. In other words, the Density Altitude is the air density given as a height above mean sea level. In addition to ambient pressure, Density Altitude takes into account air temperature. As temps rise, air density decreases.
Chris created the chart below while atop the mountain. The horsepower falls as the Density Altitude increases.
The only way he'll ever get that power back is to add a Density machines like a turbo and intercooler. Chris is crafty. Take a look at what he's working on below. His phone may blow up as soon as Toyota fans catch wind.

Improving Apprenticeships Can Create Jobs. But First We Need More of Them.
If governments wish to raise employment levels in formal sector enterprises and prepare school leavers for the world of work, it is critical that systems of internships and apprenticeships, formally approved and mandated, are encouraged.

Listen to this article:
In the vast majority of low-income and middle-income countries (LICs/MICs), most students at the secondary/higher secondary level are engaged in general academic education, not vocational education or training.
For such students, the transition to the world of work is usually traumatic. Most end up working in informal enterprises where they acquire some vocational skill informally, with no certification. The global average for the share of informal employment in total employment is 61%; in India, it is 91%, with nearly as high a share of unorganised enterprises.
In advanced economies, the go-to mechanism to prepare youth for entering the workforce has been apprenticeship, especially with formal enterprises. In the absence of large-scale opportunities for formal apprenticeships, the new secondary school leavers in LICs and MICs end up in informal apprenticeships.
If governments wish to raise employment levels in formal sector enterprises and prepare school leavers for the world of work, it is critical that systems of internships and apprenticeships – formally approved and mandated – are encouraged.
The case of India
India's workforce is the second largest in the world, after China's. However, less than 5% of this workforce has formally acquired vocational education and training. What's more, even when combined with those who have acquired informal vocational training, the workforce share of people with any training does not exceed 10% (though in the non-farm sector, this figure is 20% and that of the industrial workforce 44%).
No formal firm, whether in industry or modern services, will employ such poorly educated workers in their enterprises.
Formal apprenticeships have historically been provided in India in accordance with the Apprenticeship Act, 1961. However, until 2011, there were fewer than 250,000 apprentices in the formal sector.
The 2014 amendments to the Act require all establishments (units/employers) that have a workforce (regular employees as well as contract labour) of 30 or more workers to have apprentices constitute between 2.5%-15% of this workforce. For establishments with 4-29 workers, this is optional; which is itself problematic as it legitimises informal apprenticeships.
Despite the small scale of formal apprenticeships among the Indian workforce, a yet-to-be-published International Labour Organisation (ILO) study indicates that in India, more than 90% of registered apprentices complete the apprenticeship they undertake; 66% get placed within six months and 81% within 12 months of completing the course, which is much higher than any other form of skill training.
Clearly, apprenticeship is a good way to make young school leavers workforce-ready. This is absolutely critical since 5-6 million youth are joining the labour force each year, looking for work, in addition to the nearly 40 million unemployed in India.
Also read: Is There a Monopoly on Vocational Training in India?
The ILO study finds that although the number of apprentices in India is increasing – it crossed the 500,000 mark in March 2022, given the size of the workforce, the potential capacity of apprentices ranges from 2-2.5 million contracts.
In accordance with the amendments to the Apprenticeship Act, for every 10,000 employed workers, the number of apprentices should be between 250-1,500. However, apprentice intake per 10,000 workers is as low as 7; much lower than Denmark, Switzerland, and Germany, and lower even than Cambodia, South Africa and Senegal.
The biggest problem the implementation of the Act has faced, since its inception, is that registered small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as most large private corporates, have not been keen on taking on apprentices. Small enterprises provide employment to millions. Much of the workforce that starts working in the informal sector soon acquires technical skills and then enters the formal labour market. Informal apprenticeships, therefore, can be an effective way to prepare this workforce with appropriate, hands-on skills.
We suggest here, again, that it is possible to implement, as part of the cluster-development programmes of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Ministry, a cluster-based model for apprenticeships and to use recognition of prior learning (RPL) to provide formal apprenticeships to those who have learnt through informal ones.

Expanded apprenticeship opportunities
The 2014 amendments to the Apprenticeship Act expanded opportunities for early school leavers by opening apprenticeships to:
(i) young persons who completed government-sponsored, short-term skill training open to early school leavers, such as the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) and the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY);
(ii) early school-leavers who have not undergone any skill training; and
(iii) University graduates from any discipline.
In November 2021, the government approved the inclusion of apprenticeship training to students of general streams, such as those with Bachelor's degrees in arts, science, commerce, business administration and computer science.
Apprentices under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) grew exponentially after the apprenticeship reforms; the inclusion of optional trade apprentices as determined by employers (as opposed to trades prescribed by the government); the convergence of apprenticeship with short-term skilling; the formal recognition of the role of intermediaries between the employing establishments and skills training institutions; and the incentivising of both industry and apprentices.
However, the ILO study notes that only 30,165 establishments currently actively engage apprentices in designated trades. This is insignificant compared to the total establishments in the country (64 million, including formal and informal). Out of these, 36,000 apprentices are in Union government public sector enterprises, and 194,000 are in state government-owned enterprises and the private sector.
There are about 5 million employees in Union government-owned public sector enterprises, the Union government itself and the public sector banks. If these establishments engage apprentices, even to the mandatory minimum limit of 2.5% of their total workforce, 125,000 new apprentices could be trained.
Some large corporates have, in recent years, been more forthcoming. Maruti Suzuki India Limited, for instance, has signed MoUs with six Industrial Training Institutes (ITI; which have existed since the early 1950s), offering dual training to students and later absorbing them into its own workforce.

It is critical that vocational students have progression pathways from apprenticeship to higher academics. I had argued in my working paper for the Institute of Applied Manpower Research in 2012, the introduction of a national vocational education qualification framework should be used as a basis for introducing greater flexibility within both general academic and vocational coursework, to enable students to pass seamlessly from one stream to the other, and vice versa. Some efforts have recently been made in India towards achieving that objective, but problems remain.
Similarly, in accordance with a proposal we made 10 years ago, a high-level committee to develop a Unified Credit Accumulation and Transfer Framework for both vocational and general education was constituted in November 2021. This report has been submitted to the government in September 2022.
Other new initiatives are needed. There are 5,500 industry clusters in India; they largely consist of MSMEs. It is now crucial to put a system in place wherein MSME associations/trade or craft associations/etc are made active stakeholders. These local/sectoral/microenterprise associations can aggregate demand, consolidate batches and ensure the organisation of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and further apprenticeship training in these clusters.
