Laredo Students Set To Receive $40,000 Each For College
April 26, 2022|Hernan Rozemberg|News
LAREDO, Texas — Nearly a dozen talented local students have been selected to receive $40,000 each for their upcoming college studies as the first-ever San Antonio Area Foundation Legacy Scholarship recipients.
The 10 high school juniors, all from Laredo ISD and United ISD, took part in a highly competitive application process with a selection committee comprised of local officials and community leaders. They were chosen as juniors so they will have ample time and peace of mind during the college application process in their senior year.
"We're extremely thrilled," said Bernice Uresti, who directs the Area Foundation's scholarship programs. "We strongly believe in investing in our future leaders through their educational success, particularly for those from low-income areas facing a daunting challenge to reach their educational goals and dreams."
Each scholarship recipient – dubbed "Legacy Scholar" – has committed to attending a Texas college (public or private) as part of the scholarship eligibility requirements. As long as they maintain set academic standards, they will receive $10,000 each for their four years. They will join 40 additional Legacy Scholars from Bexar County (not yet selected) as part of a $2 million initial commitment for this scholarship program, funded by a private anonymous donor.
The Area Foundation will hold a ceremony on April 20 at Texas A & M International University's Student Center with Legacy Scholars and their families to recognize their achievement.
"It was an honor to be part of the Legacy Scholarship Selection Committee," said Tano Tijerina, Webb County Judge. "All of the applicants showed grit, ambition and determination to pursue a higher education."
Legacy Scholar and United High School junior Iracema Gonzalez will be one of the featured speakers at the recognition ceremony. She expressed profound gratitude in knowing that most or possibly all of her college tuition will be covered.
"I am deeply honored to have been selected as a recipient for this esteemed scholarship and know that with it I will be able to accomplish so many goals in my journey through college as well as the rest of my life," Iracema said.
Some of her fellow Legacy Scholars could hardly contain their emotions when they learned the great news.
"I'm very ambitious and I've been planning to go to college since elementary school," said Kaitlyn Mata, unable to hold back what she described as tears of joy. "But it's one thing to want it and plan for it … We always feared the cost and this scholarship will really, really help me and my family!"
The Laredo Legacy Scholars are: Andria Villanueva, Alynna Montemayor, Cassandra Mireles, Jose Jimenez, Iracema Gonzalez and Alexis Zaragoza from United ISD; Itzel Rojo, Alyssa Ramos, Kaitlyn Mata and Alejandro Trejo from Laredo ISD.

Q: Manipulate ampersand in sed Is it possible to manipulate the ampersand in sed? I want to add +1 to all numbers in a file. Something like this:
sed -i "s/[0-9]\{1,2\}/$(expr & + 1)/g" filename

EDIT: Today I created a loop using grep and sed that does the job needed. But the question remains open if anyone knows of a way of manipulating the ampersand, since this is not the first time I wanted to run commands on the replacement string, and couldn't.

A: You may use e modifier to achieve this:
$ cat test.txt
1
2
$ sed 's/^[0-9]\{1,2\}$/expr & + 1/e' test.txt
2
3

In this case you should construct command in replacement part which will be executed and result will be used for replacement.

A: sed will need to thunk out to some shell command (with '!') on each line to do that.
Here you think you are calling sed which then calls back to the shell to evaluate $(expr & + 1) for each line, but actually it isn't. $(expr & + 1) will just get statically evaluated (once) by the outer shell, and cause an error, since '&' is not at that point a number.
To actually do this, either:

*

*hardcode all ten cases of last digit 0..9, as per this example in sed documentation

*Use a sed-command which starts with '1,$!' to invoke the shell on each line, and perform the increment there, with expr, awk, perl or whatever.

*FOOTNOTE: I never knew about the /e modifier, which php-coder shows.

A: Great question. smci answered first and was spot on about shells.
In case you want to solve this problem in general, here is (for fun) a Ruby solution embedded in an example:
echo "hdf 4 fs 88\n5 22 sdf lsd 6" | ruby -e 'ARGF.each {|line| puts line.gsub(/(\d+)/) {|n| n.to_i+1}}'

The output should be
hdf 5 fs 89\n6 23 sdf lsd 7

If x > 1 and Sqrt(x) / x3 = xm, what is the value of m?
I agree with Terms & Conditions.
x 1/2.x-3 = x((1/2)-3) = x-5/2.
Now, x-5/2 = xm, the value of 'm' is -(5/2).

Facilitators and Barriers to Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Disclosures: A Research Update (2000–2016).

dc.description.abstract Identifying and understanding factors that promote or inhibit child sexual abuse (CSA) disclosures has the potential to facilitate earlier disclosures, assist survivors to receive services without delay, and prevent further sexual victimization. Timely access to therapeutic services can mitigate risk to the mental health of survivors of all ages. This review of the research focuses on CSA disclosures with children, youth, and adults across the life course. Using Kiteley and Stogdon's literature review framework, 33 studies since 2000 were identified and analyzed to extrapolate the most convincing findings to be considered for practice and future research. The centering question asked: What is the state of CSA disclosure research and what can be learned to apply to practice and future research? Using Braun and Clarke's guidelines for thematic analysis, five themes emerged: (1) Disclosure is an iterative, interactive process rather than a discrete event best done within a relational context; (2) contemporary disclosure models reflect a social–ecological, person-in-environment orientation for understanding the complex interplay of individual, familial, contextual, and cultural factors involved in CSA disclosure; (3) age and gender significantly influence disclosure; (4) there is a lack of a life-course perspective; and (5) barriers to disclosure continue to outweigh facilitators. Although solid strides have been made in understanding CSA disclosures, the current state of knowledge does not fully capture a cohesive picture of disclosure processes and pathways over the life course. More research is needed on environmental, contextual, and cultural factors. Barriers continue to be identified more frequently than facilitators, although dialogical forums are emerging as important facilitators of CSA disclosure. Implications for practice in facilitating CSA disclosures are discussed with recommendations for future research. en_US

Because of the huge applicant pool, master of healthcare administration (MHA) applicants often look to tests like the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) to distinguish themselves. The GRE is a standardized test that was established in 1939 and is owned and administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). It is a standard requirement for graduate school applications and aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills through the testing of algebra, geometry, arithmetic, and vocabulary knowledge.
According to data from the ETS, more than half a million students took the GRE between July 2016 to June 2017. In turn, Poets & Quants notes that graduate schools are increasingly accepting GRE scores as an alternative to the GMAT and other standardized tests.
The cost of taking the GRE, however, goes beyond simple fees. PrepScholar acknowledges that test-takers can spend more than 100 hours studying for the GRE. What's more, extensive test preparation courses can cost several thousand dollars. The financial burden and intense time commitment mean that test-takers with additional work and family obligations may lack access to equal resources and a level playing field.
As a result, some have criticized the GRE noting its inability to predict a student's future success and its disadvantage for women, minorities, and the economically disadvantaged. Two academics, Casey Miller and Keivan Stassun, published an article in the journal Nature, explaining that "women score 80 points lower on average in the physical sciences than do men, and African Americans score 200 points below white people. In simple terms, the GRE is a better indicator of sex and skin color than of ability and ultimate success."
Fortunately, not every master of healthcare administration (MHA) program asks applicants to submit a GRE score. Check out a variety of online MHA programs which either forgo the GRE requirement entirely or offer waivers for applicants who meet specific criteria.

The GRE is not a strict requirement for admission, but students with a GPA below 3.0 are strongly encouraged to submit standardized test scores.
The Bottom Line: No GRE Online MHA Programs
While the GRE may be gaining ground over the GMAT and other standardized tests, more and more online MHA programs are switching away from the GRE as a requirement to reduce obstacles to what is a growing and lucrative career path.
Work experience and strong academic backgrounds are taking the place of test scores as a measure of passion and competence. Furthermore, some schools that maintain a GRE requirement may be convinced to waive it due to work experience or competitive undergraduate transcripts. On the opposite end of the spectrum, schools may overlook a less than ideal undergraduate GPA in favor of a strong GRE score. Ultimately, deciding whether or not to take the GRE requires the personal evaluation of one's past performance and future goals.
There is a wealth of information on the web, but it is always best to reach out to an admissions counselor at the schools students are considering. Admissions requirements can change on a yearly basis, and sometimes they change faster than a school's website does. Plus, putting a human face to the admissions process can further individualize the experience, liberating it from an obtuse checklist of rigid requirements and turning it into something more equitable and holistic.
In the past, a poor GRE score could severely limit one's options. But today, there is an online MHA program out there that's right for anyone, whether they decide to take the GRE or not.

What are the most effective SEO tactics that you follow to get most user engagement right now?
Well according to my experience after the good quality content, the most effective SEO tactics is the quality back links.
in my opinion, no doubt guest posting, article submission. These tactics will surely boost your website rank.
I have attached our SEO Blueprint Ebook that outlines the most effective strategy for SEO. It's a fairly comprehensive review. If you have questions then please feel free to get back in touch. We have other free resources we can give away if your interested.
No doubt, Guest Posting and blog commenting are best techniques to rank website in serp results.
Well, the SEO starts when someone writes an article for his website because in writing an article one has to be very careful about the keyword density. I found Omni Papers very accurate in this regards. They provide good SEO friendly articles. After article completion then it came the publishing. One has to use the relevant pictures with the focus keyword as alt text. Then good on-page and off-page SEO. One has to create good back links on different high domain authority website so that his article rank high in google.
The most effective SEO tactics is on-page content development for a 57 percent majority of marketing professionals and Keyword research, link building and website structure are also effective tactics for 50 percent, 46 percent, and 43 percent of marketing influencers respectively.
I wonder why "Link baiting" is not mentioned by any of the contributors here. It is the best and the most effective strategy. You put in tons of efforts running after people for the links which is okay but why don't you spend the same time creating 10X content on your website? It will be noticed, and you will get the natural links as well as strong social signals.
Like my comment if you find it helpful.
Personally, I think the best strategy should always include great keyword research, great content, easy to follow site layout, strong links, a great social media presence and meta tags that are correct.
Forum Participation (High Traffic Forums and Relevant Ones).
Q&A Participation (Quora is more than enough).
Guest Blogging (High DA blogging sites, without compromising relevancy).
Guest Outreach (Great Email Writing Skills are required for this one).
Email Notifications (Should ask the developers to introduce this feature for the official native blog page. It helps! People generally do not remember the website/blog site, so this helps them keep connected with you. Returning visitors are a 'must' for a SEO campaign).
Proper Title, Description, Tags selection.
Onpage Content Optimization. Appropriate Keyword Density on a page.

JULES Hamburgers. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. What kinda hamburgers?
JULES No, I mean where did you get'em? MacDonald's, Wendy's, Jack-in-the-Box, where?
JULES Big Kahuna Burger. That's that Hawaiian burger joint. I heard they got some tasty burgers. I ain't never had one myself, how are they?
JULES Mind if I try one of yours?
JULES Yours is this one, right?
JULES Uuummmm, that's a tasty burger. (to Vincent) Vince, you ever try a Big Kahuna Burger?
Okay, so why the photo of the McDonald's cheeseburger? Well, it was my lunch but there's another reason too which I can't say at this time. But suffice to say that it's your pretty standard run of the mill cheeseburger, not a Kahuna Burger and it was my late lunch on Saturday. Sorry if the photo grosses you out, maybe it's supposed to so you won't eat one.
Saturday, my Monday since I'm off on Thursday and Friday, had me shooting the rodeo and a track meet. I only pretty much shot photos for the newspaper at those two things so no POTD from those assignments. Better luck tomorrow.

Pristimantis prolixodiscus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in the northern Cordillera Oriental in Colombia and adjacent Táchira, Barinas, and Mérida states of Venezuela.
Its natural habitats are cloud forests (including secondary forest) and sub-páramo bush land where it occurs in terrestrial bromeliads. It is an abundant species, and although it is facing some threat from deforestation for agricultural development, illegal crops, logging, and human settlement, these are unlikely to be serious threats, especially in the higher parts of its altitudinal range ( asl).

who doesn't love a moody engagement session? The morning of this engagement, Jeffy and I drove out to Government Camp to meet up with the sweetest darn couple ever, Katie & Adam. K & A wanted their engagement photos to be outside in nature, they love hiking and spending time with their family exploring the wonderful Pacific North West. In fact, Katie thought why not do it in Welches, Oregon which is about 20 mins away from Government Camp, Oregon.
The reason why K chose this location is because, Katie grew up in Welches. K & A visit here quite often because her parents still lives out here. We met up at a grocery outlet call, Thriftway. From there, Jeffy and I followed Katie & Adam into Welches, where we parked our cars near a road just steps away from a hidden hike trail. Katie prepped us with some classic rose, (heck yes, my type of gal) as we hiked down to a little creek and into a forest. I was amazed by the surroundings. There were tall trees covered in moss and the smell of crisp fresh air. We had so much fun just shooting around getting to know more about one another.
After spending about 35 mins here, Katie and Adam jokingly suggested to head to their favorite dive-bar. I said, are you kidding me? We have to! Why not?! I love to make my sessions more personal for my couples, something more sentimental and meaningful and different than the rest of the sessions i do.
We finally arrived to Skybar, the same place Adam popped the big question. This quirky restaurant was 10 minutes away from our first location. You definitely can't miss this restaurant with its' huge "BBQ" sign infront. When you enter the restaurant, the smell of BBQ filled the air and we were greeted by a friendly hostess that remembered K & A. Katie and Adam ordered some Rainier Beer, their favorite, and also makes great props for photos. We took the second half of their photos at the back patio which was filled with funky decor all around.
Two weeks after this session, Jeffy and I headed back to Government Camp. This time we decide to stop by Skybar for some good ole' BBQ. The food there is amazing! It also came out super fast. Definitely going to be heading there everytime we're out there so we can try everything on the menu, so if you're ever in the area, make sure to stop by and try their famous mac and cheese. Seriously, SO BOMB!
Such a gorgeous and moody Mt. Hood engagement shoot! Beautiful work!
Such a lovely engagement session! I've never been to Government Camp but it looks gorgeous.
Beautiful work, Analy! Great soft light.
This is the sweetest Mt. Hood engagement session. They both look like they are having a blast!
WOW, the colors in this are unreal! And they are such a beautiful couple. The location is perfect as well.
beautiful session – i love the creative energy and movement – they seem like they have so much fun together!

"Statement to the Press at the Beginning of the Youth Leadership Conference"
Over two hundred student and adult activists gathered at Shaw University for an Easter weekend youth conference to discuss the growing sit-in movement.1 King issued this statement at a press conference on the opening day of the meeting.2 Among his five suggestions for "a strategy for victory," King recommends that the students form a permanent nonviolent organization to "take the freedom struggle into every community in the South without exception."3 The following day, King addressed a mass meeting at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium and reportedly characterized the student movement as "a revolt against those Negroes in the middle class who have indulged themselves in big cars and ranch-style homes rather than in joining a movement for freedom." 4 During the three-day conference, youth leaders voted to create the Temporary Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.5
This is an era of offensive on the part of oppressed people. All peoples deprived of dignity and freedom are on the march on every continent throughout the world. The student sit-in movement represents just such an offensive in the history of the Negro peoples' struggle for freedom. The students have taken the struggle for justice into their own strong hands. In less than two months more Negro freedom fighters have revealed to the nation and the world their determination and courage than has occurred in many years. They have embraced a philosophy of mass direct nonviolent action. They are moving away from tactics which are suitable merely for gradual and long term change.6
Today the leaders of the sit-in movement are assembled here from ten states and some forty communities to evaluate these recent sit-ins and to chart future goals. They realize that they must now evolve a strategy for victory. Some elements which suggest themselves for discussion are: (1) The need for some type of continuing organization. Those who oppose justice are well organized. To win out the student movement must be organized. (2) The students must consider calling for a nation-wide campaign of "selective buying." Such a program is a moral act. It is a moral necessity to select, to buy from these agencies, these stores, and businesses where one can buy with dignity and self respect. It is immoral to spend one's money where one cannot be treated with respect.7 (3) The students must seriously consider training a group of volunteers who will willingly go to jail rather than pay bail or fines.8 This courageous willingness to go to jail may well be the thing to awaken the dozing conscience of many of our white brothers. We are in an era in which a prison term for a freedom struggle is a badge of honor. (4) The youth must take the freedom struggle into every community in the South without exception. The struggle must be spread into every nook and cranny. Inevitably this broadening of the struggle and the determination which it represents will arouse vocal and vigorous support and place pressures on the federal government that will compel its intervention.9 (5) The students will certainly want to delve deeper into the philosophy of nonviolence. It must be made palpably clear that resistance and nonviolence are not in themselves good. There is another element that must be present in our struggle that then makes our resistance and nonviolence truly meaningful. That element is reconciliation. Our ultimate end must be the creation of the beloved community. The tactics of nonviolence without the spirit of nonviolence may indeed become a new kind of violence.
1. King and Baker had issued the call for the meeting (Announcement, "Youth leadership meeting, Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C., 4/15/1960-4/17/1960," March 1960; see also SCLC and Raleigh Citizens Association, Program, "Mass meeting featuring Dr. Martin Luther King," 16 April 1960, and SCLC, "Northern students and observers to Southwide Youth Leadership Conference, Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C.," 22 April 1960).
2. On the back of King's copy of this document was a list of five names, the last two of which—Elroy Embry of Montgomery and Paul LaPrad of Fisk University—were handwritten by King.
3. According to a newspaper account, King also explained that the protests were "a spontaneous movement without any national organization" (Guy Munger, "Students Begin Strategy Talks on Integration," Greensboro Daily News, 16 April 1960).
4. Claude Sitton, "Negro Criticizes N.A.A.C.P. Tactics," New York Times, 17 April 1960.
5. The students also voted that the temporary committee, composed of representatives from thirteen southern states and established student organizations, would be headquartered in Atlanta. King and James Lawson were to be "present in an advisory capacity" (Southwide Youth Leadership Conference, "Recommendations of the findings and recommendations committee," 15 April-17 April 1960).
6. During the question and answer portion of the press conference, King elaborated on this point: "I'm not saying this brings about a cessation of legal activities. But the Negro students are saying, 'We will not wait for long litigation . . . delaying tactics.'" He also contrasted the "non-creative sitdown in Congress" with the "creative sitdown by Negro students" (Munger, "Students Begin Strategy Talks").
7.King explained that "if a store opens itself to the public, it is not private property in the sense that it may deny accommodations," and concluded: "We are not trying to put a store out of business. We are seeking to put justice into business" (Munger, "Students Begin Strategy Talks").
8.At the weekend's close, the coordinating committee adopted a number of resolutions, including one which read: "This conference recognizes the virtue of the movement and endorses the practice of going to jail rather than accepting bail" (Southwide Youth Leadership Conference, "Recommendations of the findings and recommendations committee," 15 April-17 April 1960).
9.According to a press account, King elaborated on this point when he explained that he was not defining federal government intervention "in physical terms" but as providing "moral support to the movement" ("Sit-in Meeting Fights Erupt," Nashville Tennessean, 16 April 1960).

The Tower, Dubai
The first foundation stone of the new structure known as 'The Tower', which will surpass Dubai's 828m (2,716 ft.)-high Burj Khalifa, currently the world's tallest building, was laid out by Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum at Dubai Creek Harbour this November. The Tower, which will form the centerpiece of the 3.7 square mile (six square-kilometer) Dubai Creek redevelopment project, will be 'a notch taller' than the Burj Khalifa, Mohamed Alabbar, the chairman of Emaar Properties, the same company behind the Burj Khalifa, revealed this April when the plans were first announced.
The developers are aiming to complete its construction before the Dubai World Expo in 2020. The new Dubai tower is designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava Valls, known for futuristic structures such as the City of Arts and Sciences Complex in Valencia, Spain and New York City's New World Trade Centre transportation hub which opened this year.
Highlighted features of The Tower include the pinnacle room, a slender, streamlined structure with a needlepoint-like tip, as well as several 'garden' observation decks, decorated with trees and other greenery, which will offer 360 degree views of the city. The total area of the floors of the skyscraper will cover six square kilometers (in total) and will include spaces with gardens and panoramic view of the capital.
The building will also have glass balconies that rotate outside the wall of the tower, as well as a luxury hotel and 18 to 20 floors of shops, restaurants and other tourist facilities. It will also be built in the same area as The Address Downtown. Wind engineering and seismic tests have been conducted on The Tower, while every aspect is designed to the highest international standards, from the materials to the construction technology.

Chrissy Teigen's Pet Dog Petey Likes to Nap on the Bed but John Legend Thinks it's Too Big
Internet's favourite celebrity couple Chrissy Teigen and singer John Legend entertain their followers with some candid content. With her latest tweet, the 34-year-old model has done it again. On Sunday, Chrissy posted a tweet of her pet dog Petey, who wanted to snuggle into the couple's bed.
The twenty-three-second video shows Petey sitting on Chrissy's bed. As she records the pet's reaction, the model says that even though dad says that it cannot sleep on the bed, she believes it can. The cute furry doggo blinks into the camera with its round moist eyes. Chrissy then says that Petey should make himself small before John comes and asks him to get down.

The video has received over 9,90,000 views on the microblogging site. Netizens are feeling their hearts melt by the brown poodle's innocent eyes. "Those eyes," commented a user.
Another user commented, "Snuggle up, so adorable."
One follower was reminded of a character from Sesame Street while another demanded a separate Instagram account of Petey so that he has his own wholesome content platform."@chrissyteigen I'm ready for Petey to have his own Instagram."
Chrissy and John welcomed Petey earlier in January this year. In a series of tweet, Chrissy explained that the poodle got its name Petey from the iconic Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels' movie Dumb and Dumber.
this is petey! another little heart in this house to love. pic.twitter.com/6egwjDK9fx

The dog was adopted by them after comedian and television host Ellen DeGeneres, posted information about ten dogs, including eight puppies, who needed to be rescued.
The adorable videos and photos of Petey with the couple's children Luna and Miles were also shared by Chrissy. In one of the videos, Petey is being carried by Luna who walks up to her father John and says, "John would you like to hold her?" To this, John responds, "No I'm not John. I'm your dad."
...john?? pic.twitter.com/EpMvkWhMpl
The video received over 4.2 million views on Twitter. The pup has now grown up and it is pretty clear that he is too big to sleep on their beds.


Its economy might be in the tanks, but the country known for Evita and giant steaks is exporting some pretty impressive goods these days, writes David Kaufman.
If three's a trend, then things might be looking up for Argentina—a country plagued by rampant inflation, a looming default, and a plummeting peso.
On Wednesday, Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio became the first non-European pope in more than 1,200 years. That makes him pretty much the most famous Argentine since Eva Perón.
This comes a little more than a month after Holland's Queen Beatrix announced she would abdicate the throne in favor of her son, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander. When he becomes King Willem-Alexander, his wife, Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti, will become the queen consort (which is like a queen, only not exactly). And guess what? She's also Argentine!
Finally, there's Lionel Messi, pretty much the most famous soccer player in the world right now. In January the 25-year-old forward became the first player ever to win a fourth Ballon d'Or, or the European Footballer of the Year award. The prize came barely a month after his team, FC Barcelona, re-signed Messi for a five-year, $104 million contract—the highest in professional soccer. His hometown? Rosario, a city in central Argentina, where Che Guevara was born.
So what if the Falkland Islands want nothing to do with Argentina, having voted nearly unanimously this week to remain a British territory? And sure, Argentina's president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has been accused of corruption and harassing the media, while her populist policies continue to erode consumer confidence and stifle foreign investment. And yes, the economy is not in a good place (though the country's Merval stock index happily rose on the pope news).

Strong project execution despite logistical challenges and travel restrictions caused by Covid-19 pandemic
Reduced annual run rate gross cash cost by more than $200 million compared to initial 2020 plan to compensate for a revenue reduction of 37% caused by the Covid-19 pandemic
Extension of all debt maturities and amortization to September 2022 and beyond (see description in Note 11 in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements)
"2020 developed very differently than any of us expected. In Q1 the seismic market quickly changed from an improving path to an abrupt downturn. Preventive measures to reduce spreading of the coronavirus caused a dislocation in the oil market and a significant reduction in our clients' investment plans. We reacted swiftly by reducing cost and preserving liquidity. Gross cash cost was slashed by more than $200 million from stacking vessels, significant downscaling of the organization, renegotiating terms with suppliers and several other initiatives. Further, we have worked through the year to preserve liquidity by implementing extension of maturities and debt amortization to September 2022 and beyond. These measures allow us to cope with this downturn and more quickly return to generating positive cash flow and repaying debt.
MultiClient late sales in the fourth quarter benefited from a usual end-of-year increase and license round activity in West Africa and Brazil. New acquisitions of MultiClient data were mainly done offshore Egypt and we returned to Brazil with one vessel to continue our Campos deep water campaign, initially started in early 2020. During Q4 we sold well from MultiClient surveys acquired in earlier quarters but still in the processing phase, boosting our pre-funding level to 185% on MultiClient cash investment of $33 million. Only 8% of our vessel capacity was allocated to contract work in the quarter, a 4D project offshore Angola.
We launched a UK Scheme of Arrangement in Q4 to implement the re-scheduling of debt maturities and amortizations that we had agreed with an overwhelming majority of lenders. An English court sanctioned the scheme on February 2 this year allowing for the debt re-scheduling to be implemented. The transaction is expected to close during February.
The order book increased during the quarter. It now stands at $202 million and with additional bookings at the start of this year we have good visibility through the second quarter and into the third quarter. We expect 2021 to be slightly better than last year. The current booking and bidding activity together with our MultiClient project pipeline, supports our cautiously positive view and expectation of increased acquisition activity from early Q2."
Rune Olav Pedersen,
PGS expects the improved oil price, a likely global recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, and the effects of deferred projects from last year to support a gradual increase of demand for seismic services in 2021. Despite the impacts of the Covid-19 crisis, energy consumption is expected to continue to increase longer term with oil and gas being an important part of the energy mix as the global energy transition evolves. Offshore reserves will be vital for future supply and support demand for marine seismic services. The recovery of the seismic industry is likely also to benefit from the recent industry capacity reductions.
Based on five vessels in operation through 2020, and with reference to the disclosed risk factors, PGS expects full year 2021 gross cash costs to be below $400 million.
2021 MultiClient cash investments are expected to be approximately $150 million.
Approximately 45% of 2021 active 3D vessel time is expected to be allocated to MultiClient acquisition.
Capital expenditures for 2021 is expected to be approximately $40 million.
The order book totaled $202 million on December 31, 2020 (including $89 million relating to MultiClient). The order book was $160 million on September 30, 2020 and $322 million on December 31, 2019.

Tiles can often be seen on modern-day houses. They can be made from ceramic, metal, or rock. You can even locate some that are constructed from timber. Whatever ceramic tiles are made of, mold can grow on them or their grout making mold removal a needed procedure for them to be restored.
Virtually, floor tiles as hard-wearing residence materials can be utilized around your home. You can have them in washroom, bedrooms, kitchen and living-room used as flooring, wall surfaces as well as also as ceiling coverings. In some way, they can be one of the typical factors among certain house parts.
However, the all-around usefulness of ceramic tiles makes them vulnerable to mold advancement. Water leaks on wall surfaces and ceiling and even un-dried water splashes on a tiled flooring can currently bring about mold growth. And this can negatively impact their appearance and objective.
More than the floor tile itself, mold and mildews can additionally expand on floor tile grout. Essentially, the cement is made use of to fill up dental caries between ceramic tiles holding them with each other. The mold and mildews that can grow on the grout can give two negative effects. They can make your tiled floor, wall surface or ceiling look undesirable as well as dirty. Secondly, they can make the cement itself last shorter.
Molds on both tiles and ceramic tile cement can lead to extra expenses for repair work and also replacements. To avoid this unnecessary spending, mold and mildew development need to be stopped. In instance nonetheless that molds had actually currently rooted themselves on tiles and floor tile cement, the very best course of action is to carry out an efficient ceramic tile mold removal procedure. Find out more about San Diego Mold Removal by clicking on the link.
Below is just how to do it.
Prepare every one of the products that you will be making use of. This includes ammonia, white vinegar, washing soda as well as water. For severe situations of mold problem or mold and mildew stain on floor tiles, you might need to discover a commercially offered mold removal item. Apart from what is needed for the actual mold removal process, you additionally require to have safety mask, coverall, hand-wear covers as well as safety glasses for your own security.
Mix ammonia, white vinegar, cleaning soda and also water to make an all-natural mold removal service. The appropriate proportion will certainly need to 1/2 cup of ammonia, 1/ mug of white vinegar, 1/4 mug of cleaning soft drink and 1 gallon of water.
Clean ceramic tiles making use of the concoction as well as rinse them evenly and also thoroughly.
Dry the floor tiles entirely. Bear in mind that molds are motivated by damp so maintaining them damp can trigger their expanding back.
Instead of using the given option right here, you can also utilize bleach in your ceramic tile mold removal. Remember though this is an alternative and that bleach needs to not be combined with ammonia anyhow or whatever quantity. The fume that the combination of 2 can produce is extremely invigorating.
In summary, mold and mildews can likewise expand as well as taint ceramic tiles and also weaken ceramic tile cement. Refraining from doing anything concerning it can bring about additional house cleaning costs. To prevent that, tile mold removal need to be applied and also it must be ensured to be reliable.
Why Spend Money on Sales Training?


HD Satellite TV Receiver RELOOK 400S PVR Linux OS, Twin Tuner PVR The Sky is the Limit! This latest model from the well known Korean manufacturer DGStation , the Relook 400S has been introduced to the market very recently and has also arrived at the test labs of Tele Satellite for an in-depth examination. Unlike the majority of today's digital TV receivers, the Relook 400S operates under Linux receiver and what makes it unique for time being, is the double tuner!
After unpacking, we discover a full sized unit (approx. 37 x 27 x 7 cm) of an elegant sober design in metallic grey colour. On the front, you see just one big round on/off button which lights-up in blue upon its circumference as soon as the receiver is plugged into the mains, goes off during operation but blinks as a feedback, when commands are received from the remote control. Next to it is a wide window for the VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display).
This whole front panel is in fact a flap and once opened, it reveals 8 push buttons to operate the PVR, two card readers and two CAM slots.
The rear panel is even more surprising: Besides the classical two Scarts, the RCA analogue outputs for audio stereo and video and a serial interface, you will discover two sets of LNB in/outputs for the 2 tuners, a UHF modulator, an optical digital audio output, a USB and an Ethernet interface and even a power switch. The remote control is rather small for the consider-able amount of functions it has to command on a PVR receiver and people who use glasses for reading will certainly need them for this remote. A plus point is that it can be configured to command your TV set. The overall workman ship of this receiver makes a very solid and visually appealing impression.
After the external appreciation, let's now take a closer look on the features of the Relook 400S. According to the manufacturers' specifications and besides all the classical features found on most of today's set top boxes, this receiver is capable of recording two channels, while it plays back another recording. In case a Viaccess CAM is fitted, it can as well descramble simultaneously two channels so that one could be recorded while you watch the other one. No CAM is needed for the playback of a scrambled pre-recorded program. The channel memory allows up to 10'000 channels to be stored, which is very convenient since the HD Satellite TV Receiver RELOOK 400S PVR implements the DiSEqC1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 or USALS protocols.
The unit that was sent to us did not include a hard disk. Normally it is sold with a hard disk already installed. The receiver supports unlimited HDD size. Our first job was to install a 3,5inch200 GB HDD which was very easy as the cables and the cradle were present inside the satellite tv receivers. After this, we could finally connect the unit and power it up.
The Relook 400S first displays a message to announce that it is preparing the hard disk, this takes a certain time depending on the disk size. After this the user is invited to select the various main options like the menu language, the time zone etc. The Cable output signal can be configured RGB,CVBS or YUV. Since this satellite TV receiver has two tuners, we decided to connect the first tuner to an antenna on a Stab USALS motor and looped the signal trough to the second tuner.
The next step is somehow unusual since each satellite the user would like to access, has to be installed in the tuner menu as a different LNB (i. e. one for Hot-bird, another for Astra etc.), and here again each of these LNBs has to be assigned the appropriate DiSEqC protocol, in our case USALS. While each satellite LNB is assigned, the signal strength and it's quality are displayed on the menu page. The next step is to scan these satellites. The scan is rather slow but complete. After all, does this slowness really matter since such a scan is certainly not performed every day? The satellite fans who decide to look for new satellite channels will certainly know in advance the frequencies and could enter them manually to memorize this very particular station they are looking for. Even better, the transponder list can be edited thanks to the Relook PC Editor software and the USB port which allows updates from SatcoDX.
After the scan, you always end up with an almost endless list of tv and radio stations. Many of them will either be scrambled or not interesting for the one or the other particular user. To organize such a crowded channel list, the user has two options: Either manually, or the second and more elegant way is to use this very same Relook PC Editor. This program is free to download at the site of the manufacturer www.dgstation.co.kr .
Now that all these preliminaries have been dealt with, the next step would be to sit back and start watching your favourite channels. The switching from one channel to another is immediate, even on scrambled channels, the picture quality is flawless. Owning a PVR with a double tuner is factually a challenge for the user not to miss any of his favourite transmissions. The Relook doesn't deceive here, neither. Just press the Record button while you watch a movie and it will be stored on the hard disk. The default duration of the recording is 2 hours but this setting can be modified in the menu. This way you don't have to worry about the ending time of your recording.
Another way to achieve a recording is via the EPG, in this case the receiver inserts a reservation time before and after the programmed recording to allow for any changes in the schedule. Last but not least, thanks to the double tuner, a second simultaneous recording can be started manually or programmed in the EPG. In our antenna configuration, this could only be achieved on a channel from the same transponder but in case of a different LNB for the second tuner, said recording could be from anothertransponder or satellite. The time shift function is available too. All these recordings on the hard disk can be downloaded to a PC where in a first pass they will have to be transformed into MPEG format and then edited with your preferred edition software. This transformation is taken care by the Make PS software available at DGStation's website.
Linux, Ethernet, USB and Co.
So far, we have described features that could be found on numerous other receivers. The Relook 400S has mastered them during our tests without any problems. But what makes this box so special is it's firmware compiled in Linux. Since Linux is an operating satellite systems with an open source philosophy, DGStation have made public the source code of their firmware to allow any interested user to develop his own modifications, improvements or add-ons. Alternative firmware is already available trough the numerous forums on the Web which transform the Relook 400S to an even more powerful tool for the HD satellite enthusiast, and this seems just to be the beginning! Talented programmers are constantly trying out new features very similar to those developed for another receiver from a German manufacturer that was tested here at TELE-satellite approx. two years ago. The second reason all this has been made possible, is the presence of an Ethernet port. This way, the Relook 400S becomes an extension of your PC, can exchange data with it, connect to the Internet etc. As they say, The Sky is the Limit!
Despite all this, the HD Satellite TV Receiver RELOOK 400S PVR remains a well thought-out receiver for the whole family with a very stable operation. On our test receiver we used the latest official firmware from DGStation, version 1.18 and never experienced any lock-ups, even after an intensive use.


The story began in the 1950s when a group of local mountaineers and hikers decided to recover the tradition to climb to the Sanctuary of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa from Castellón. This challenge and a project to restore ancient roads and trails resulted in the Sender de la Lluna Plena (Full Moon Trail), GR-33, which connects the city of Castellón with the peak of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa, at 1814 meters of elevation.
In 1996 it went initially from a two-day hike to a single day, under the direction of the Club Muntanya Castelló, the Centre Excursioniste de Castelló and the Universitat Jaume I which marked the birth of the Pujada a peu Castelló-Sant Joan de Penyagolosa. From then until know, it 20 years' experience of organizing sports events through mountain paths of ancient pilgrimage routes steeped in history and tradition have been added up.
This first edition of 1999 was the result of the association of different clubs of the province: Club Muntanya de Castelló, Club Muntanyer La Pedrera de Borriol, Club Esportiu Bombers de Castelló and Club Trepa Castellet de Castelló. That is how Asociación Deportiva Marató i Mitja Castelló-Penyagolosa was born, an entities association to synergise human efforts and resources as well as materials that make this race one of the classics in our mountain community and national calendar. As a result, in 2003 the Marató i Mitja was selected to host the 2º Campeonato de España de Carreras por Montaña FEDME.
In 2008, the club organized the Campeonato de España Individual (Gran Premio Buff-Salomon) and teams of their national mountain selections. It consist on the Marxa Magdalena-Penyeta Roja combining technical route with the magnificient views of the Mediterranean coast.
This anual sports events dates have contributed, largely, to the promotion of the growing passion for the mountain sport and the nature in our regions, and to the dissemination of the natural heritage.
The story dates back to the 1950s when a group of local mountaineers and hikers decided to recover the tradition to climb to the Sanctuary of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa from the city of Castellón.
In 2013, within the framework of the strategic line of the Diputación de Castellón to promote the sport and the natural environment of the inland regions of our county and following the cooperations models between clubs of the county (that so good results had been given wuth the creations and consolidations of Marató i Mitja), the Club boosted Penyagolosa Trails creation to represent under the same Brand the two most importan traces of Castellón County: MiM and CSP. The cooperation between sports clubs, volunteers, councils, safety officers, medical teams, with the support of the Diputación de Castellón, made that the same year the MiM celebrated its 15º edition. While the CSP, was Campeonato de España FEDME of Ultratrail in 2013 and 2014.
2016has been a very important year in our history. Together we staged a grand edition of the Penyagolosa Trails Sport HG, once again we were part of Spain Ultra Cup series, and we won the Emprén Esport Award in the category of Universal Endurance – Sport Event. In addition, the work and the commitment of all those involved have achieved what seemed a dream: Penyagolosa Trails will join the international circuit Ultra-Trail World Tour in 2017 and will host the World Trail Championship in 2018.
Until then, we will continue working to improve, learn and grow year after year. All with the objective to position the province of Castellón as a destination in the national and international mountain race series; to highlight the province's natural, scenic and cultural ambience; to align outdoor sport with respect for nature; to foster cooperation between officials, businesses and organizations, as well as to promote cultural and sports activities for the public.
Engaging in mountain sports is an important tradition in Castellón. These events are an opportunity to discover the richness of the region's natural, social and human heritage.
At Penyagolosa Trails, we advocate for values such as solidarity, respect for people and for oneself, and care for the environment.
Responsibility, solidarity and fair play.
We want sport lovers to share with us their motivation, culture, history and origins, while always keeping in mind that the mountains have a culture that should be respected and protected.
Under this shared passion we advocate for clean, safe competition, while counting on innovation to appeal to competitors to reduce risks and ensure that rules are followed. Also, we subscribe to common sense by which athletes, supporters, volunteers, the media and general public should follow event advices that have been put in place by the organization.
We believe that in the mountains, solidarity is more important than competitiveness, and respect must begin at home. Therefore, we promote athletic performance in its purest form: free of doping substances, and without self-medicating at an abusive level.
Our priority is to have zero impact on the environment, as well as raise awareness among competitors, their friends and fans, and visitors about the importance of protecting and caring for the environment. We also work to develop strategies to improve the environment before, during and after organized events.
In this regard, since 2013 all competitors are required to carry their own beverage containers to be used at checkpoints. As a result, the use of more than 50,000 containers and their potential environmental impact are avoided. In addition, shortcuts off the beaten track and marked trails are prohibited, especially those that are most exposed to rain. We also encourage proper waste management with a focus on batteries and promoting the use of rechargeable products.
The Penyagolosa is at the center of our history and values. We therefore support the candidacy of the Camins de Penyagolosa as a World Heritage site. The heritage of these trails, upon which have passed centuries of pilgrimages and have served as channels of communication between our people, deserves international recognition and validation.

Aereo Announces More Funding, For A Service No One Really Wants
Dan Rayburn | Tuesday January 8, 2013 | 02:28 PM | Comments (6)
On a conference call this morning, Aereo announced they have raised another $38M in funding and plan to expand to nearly two dozen cities in the U.S. this year. The Barry Diller/IAC backed company takes live over-the-air broadcast TV signals via their antenna farm and streams them to subscribers PC/Mac, iPad or iPhone with subscription plans that range from $8 a month to $80 a year.
Anyone who has seen me write about Aereo in the past knows that I think Aereo is one of the most over-hyped companies in this space in a long time. [See: "Barry Diller's OTT Service Aereo Is Dead On Arrival"] Their CEO keeps talking about how Aereo is disrupting the traditional broadcast TV market even though as of May of last year, the company announced they had only 3,500 subscribers, many of which were still under the 90-day trial period. And in August of last year, someone inside IAC told me Aereo had less than 2,000 paying subscribers, a number I still have yet to see Aereo dispute.
Aereo calls what they are doing an "innovative new business model" even though they have no traction and as of today and only offer twenty English based content channels, of which I've only heard of eight of them. The service does not work on many devices, the quality of the video they deliver is not what most would classify as HD and the company still hasn't disclosed any details on how the videos are encoded or delivered.
Once of the biggest arguments of why Aereo can't disrupt the traditional broadcast TV model is that they simply don't have deep enough pockets and they can't do much with the nearly $21M their raised in their first round, something that was proven today with the fact they have already announced a B round of financing. Even with today's announcement, the company has only raised just over $60M. Part of that money will go towards their legal bills as broadcasters have taken them to court over their business model since Aereo doesn't currently pay any re-transmission fees and trying to expand into nearly two dozen cities will burn through a lot of capital.
It would take Aereo signing up 262,500 customers, each paying $80 a year, just to make back their original investment of nearly $21M and of course, none of that would be profit. Streaming consumer business models like this do not scale cheaply and you have to pump a lot of money into the service before you can get it to a scale. Just look at all of the other companies in the market who have some kind of video streaming service and the amount of money they have spent just to get their platform to the point of where they can guarantee a QoS that consumers have come to expect. That's not going to happen even with $60M in funding.
Aereo has said that there is a, "significant portion of the population that is not interested in continuing the closed ecosystem of cable bundles", but of course, they haven't said what those numbers are and even if the percentage is high, Aereo's current offering is not what consumers are looking for to replace the current cable model. Aereo likes to say their solution provides an a la carte model to consumers, a phrase that people in the media go wild over, yet Aereo is only offering eight channels anyone would actually watch. So there is nothing a la carte about having such a limited choice of content.
As I wrote in my last Aereo post, there are more than 100M consumers in the U.S. that pay for TV via cable and satellite and Aereo has implied that a big market to them would be about 300,000 subscribers. That's not even one half of one percent of the total number of cable/satellite TV subscribers in America, yet they think their service will somehow "disrupt" the cable TV market or make cable companies change their practices? It's not going to happen. It's the whole reason why Aereo's CEO "declined to disclose how many people had signed up for Aereo so far" when asked by the NYT. The number is so small because whether the technology works or not, in its current form, this is not a service consumers are willing to pay for.

heat-shrink tubing (about 10 mm diameter, not shown above).
I'm using through-hole resistors because I have a lot of them in stock and no SMDs of required value.
With SMD resistors building can be simplified (no need for isolation), and will not be as fun as I wanted it to be.
For high-frequency applications you will most probably use SMD resistors and copper shielding, but I'm limited with tools up to 50 or 60 MHz at the moment.
I used a piece of plastic from plastic L folder for isolation.
First cut it to size of SMA connectors (squares 6mm x 6mm) and mark the center. Two pieces required per terminator.
Then cut central holes and cutouts. put each isolator onto each connector.
In order to simplify soldering to central pin, I made two turns on resistors' leads. 0.9mm hex bit from screwdriver set came in handy.
Solder a pair of resistors to each connector. Make sure you didn't lost isolators in the process.
Next step is to solder connectors back to back.
put resistors in place, bend remaining leads to the side and solder them to connector pins.
As for my mistakes, on a first terminator I put a little bit too much solder (as you can see on a picture below), and for second terminator I misaligned connectors a bit, so it was looking bent a little before applying heat-shrink.
Now put some heat-shrink on it to hide your soldering to make it fancier to write a value and it's done.
First, measure the resistance with multimeter. I got 49.6 Ohm measured, which falls into 1% precision of resistors I used.
Resistor values matches quite well among the batch, so there is no chance to pick different values from single batch. I was thinking about putting one 220 Ohm resistor along with three of these slightly undervalued 200 Ohm resistors, but it would bring me to 50.8 Ohm, which is slightly worse.
Next thing to do is to look at frequency response. So here is simple setup with RedPitaya.
I was not expecting anything fancy over 50 MHz due to RedPitaya's 125 MHz sampling frequency. Below that it looks good enough (don't forget there is calibration step before switching device under test in real use).
It makes sense to have such a thing with male connector, but they are harder to obtain. Gender changer connector can be used when needed.
Channel 1 (blue), where pot is connected, looks a bit more linear to me. After measuring a value on a pot, I found it is a bang on 47 Ohm. Wow. It's kind of proof that it's possible to go with single 47 Ohm standard value resistor for termination.
So much for this post.

Seek Compensation for Injuries Related to Roundup Exposure
When manufacturers and corporations fail to create and sell safe products, innocent consumers pay the price. The people who have purchased and used Roundup weed killer are now bearing the physical, financial, and emotional burdens that this harmful product has saddled them with.
Allegations against Monsanto – the company that produces Roundup weed killer – claim that the well-known product is linked to the development of lymphoma and other types of cancer. If you or someone you love has used Roundup and later developed cancer, you may be eligible for compensation – and Ashcraft & Gerel wants to help you fight for it.
Our Roundup lawsuit attorneys in Manassas are deeply familiar with the harm that this weed-killing product can cause.

The Dangers of Roundup
Roundup is a popular herbicide that has been used commercially and domestically for decades. Glyphosate, the product's active ingredient, blocks an enzyme that targeted weeds need to survive. Roundup has been used across the country on private property, in public parks and playgrounds, and in commercial nurseries. Perhaps the most troubling concern is that Roundup is sprayed on more than 80% of U.S. crops, from soybeans and wheat to corn and alfalfa. Even if you do not consume these crops, they could have been consumed by the livestock that you eat, passing the harm onto you and your family.
Though the World Health Organization only recently labeled glyphosate as a "probable human carcinogen" in 2015, Monsanto may have known of the potential hazards for years and failed to disclose the information to consumers.
You are most likely to be affected by Roundup if you have been exposed to it regularly. That is why farmers, nursery workers, landscapers, and other agricultural workers are most susceptible to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Taking Legal Action against Monsanto
Monsanto is facing numerous allegations that it knew about the link between Roundup and cancer for several years and failed to warn the public about the issue. Because of Monsanto's failure to disclose the information, countless people continued to purchase and use a harmful product containing a probable carcinogen.
Our Roundup injury attorneys in Manassas are dedicated to investigating the extent of Monsanto's corporate cover-up. We want to know much the company knew about the potential cancer link before the public outcry. Lawyers have recently discovered evidence that both the EPA and Monsanto knew about the hazards and actively tried to downplay the cancer risk by creating reports "proving" that Roundup does not cause cancer. The EPA used these reports to support Monsanto's claims, even though numerous EPA toxicologists still believed there was a link between cancer and Roundup.
There have been numerous lawsuits filed against Monsanto. If you developed cancer after being exposed to Roundup, you may be eligible to file a class-action lawsuit against the company and pursue the compensation you deserve. Compensation may cover your medical bills, your pain and suffering, and your lost wages among other damages.
What Is the Value of a Roundup Lawsuit?
It is impossible to assign an exact dollar amount to any claim, as its value is entirely dependent on the unique circumstances of your situation.
Some factors that could affect the value of your claim include:
The amount of time you have had cancer in relation to your level of exposure to Roundup
The pain and suffering you experienced
Your past, current, and future medical expenses related to your cancer treatment
The amount of money you have lost from being unable to work
Your lost earning potential
Filing a Roundup Lawsuit
The IARC's conclusion of Roundup's carcinogenic properties was the result of several years of research based on peer-reviewed studies and government reports. Since their findings have become public, many people have filed class-action lawsuits after developing cancer linked to Roundup exposure.
Many of these lawsuits include evidence that:
They were exposed to glyphosate through Roundup
Monsanto failed to accurately represent the safety of Roundup
Monsanto did not properly warn users about the potential risk
Monsanto knew about glyphosate's carcinogenic properties
If you or someone you love has been exposed to Roundup and has developed lymphoma or another type of cancer within the last decade, we encourage you to get in touch with our Manassas Roundup lawsuit attorneys. It's not too late to partake in a class-action lawsuit against Monsanto. You may also file a wrongful death lawsuit if you lost a loved one to cancer that was caused by Roundup.
Understanding Class-Action Lawsuits
After suffering an injury caused by someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, you have the right to pursue legal action and file a lawsuit. Usually, you go about this on your own, with the help of an attorney.
In a class-action lawsuit, however, you join a group of other individuals who have suffered similar damages from the same defendant. Together, you and these other plaintiffs pursue legal action. When you opt into a class action, you receive a portion of the reward if the case is successful.
Consult with Ashcraft & Gerel Today
If you developed cancer after enduring regular exposure to Roundup, you may be entitled to financial compensation. You do not have to navigate this legal process alone. With our Manassas Roundup injury attorneys on your side, you will be positioned for success from the very beginning; we will handle the legal legwork for you. You and your family deserve justice.

We went for a bite mid-afternoon, during which I asked for a virgin Caesar (for non-Canucks, it's similar to a bloody mary, I'm told). A few sips in, I started feeling funny. After some investigation, turns out the drink wasn't so virgin. And I'm allergic to alcohol. Not anaphylactic or keel-over allergic… More like speeding heart rate, beet-red flushed face, shortness of breath, hysterical laughter, then passing out allergic.
I'd only taken in a third of the drink, not enough to induce the entire parade of symptoms… but I moved immediately to water and felt a little in-the-clouds for the rest of the meal.
I got home at around 5 p.m., crrrrashed! shortly after, then awoke a little before 10 p.m., just in time to hear the fireworks blasting off downtown. Ah well, in all honesty, I hadn't made concrete plans to go see them anyway.
So… part of me thinks I should call the manager of the resto to let them know what happened.
Or would I be making a mountain of a molehill?
