It goes without saying that you want the lawyer you select to be a good one. Sometimes, if a lawyer is good they may cost more. Although this can be true sometimes, this isn't always the case. You can find a great lawyer for less money. Read the contents below to find out how to get a lawyer for a reasonable amount.
Don't choose the first lawyer you find. Research your options to avoid terrible consequences. Keep asking other people so that you can learn more information concerning certain lawyers.
You should not hire a lawyer until you have a proof they have won similar cases in the past. Simply because your lawyer may be knowledgeable about your case doesn't guarantee he or she is the right candidate for it. You can find this information on the Internet with a little digging. The lawyer should willingly provide it, as well.
Have an extensive list of questions for your potential lawyers. During your consultation, your lawyer should answer every question you have. You should feel comfortable with your lawyer, and he should alleviate any concerns you might have. If this isn't the case then you shouldn't hire that lawyer.
You will save some time and money if you prepare your paperwork and do some research before you first meet your lawyer. They can easily give you an estimate, in this case. You can reduce fees by being efficient.
Consider how the people who work in the law office treat you. Note how quickly they respond to your calls. Does the worker at the desk treat you with respect? If the staff of your lawyer's office is not returning calls quickly or treating you politely, you should find another lawyer.
Ask your lawyer if you can personally do any work so that will help cut down costs you have to pay them. You can possibly aide in doing paperwork for your case. See if any documents need to be picked up from the courthouse, and volunteer to do this instead of your lawyer.
Ask your lawyer for a referral to a specialist who can properly handle your case. Your lawyer knows who else is out there that they'd use in your situation. In addition, your lawyer will want what's best for you; therefore, he or she should provide you with excellent advice.
Make sure you have done your own research before you start a claim for worker's compensation. The requirements of each state is different in terms of how much time is available to you to file and what documentation you need to present. These claims are different from other types of cases and should be treated as such. Worker's Compensation claims have unique standards that need to be met.
Find out where your lawyer went to school. It may not be the deciding factor, but it's good to know. A good school means your lawyer worked very hard for their degree and probably learned more. Even though a lawyer may have graduated from a school that is not one of the top schools, they may still be great at what they do.

One of the extremally few Pissarro's works of such a high artistical quality currently existing in the private hands. Following the impressions from the first exhibitions, where it appeared, the painting attracted the attention of the reputed art critics, such as Félix Fénéon — the most famous partisan and champion of the impressionist art — and well-known writer Joris-Karl Huysman, an refined connoisseur of painting, whose opinions didn't lose their significance even nowadays. As a perfect testimony to all the said above we should refer to the grandiose exposition, functioning now at the Musée d'Orsay under the title 'Huysmans Art Critic. From Degas to Grünewald, in the Eye of Francesco.
So, the following review of the painting in question left by Huysman seems to be especially valuable. We are citing hereby this veritable anthem to Nature and artist's prowess in its entirety:
''Joachim Pissarro and Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts wrote about the present work: 'When it was shown at the sixth Impressionist exhibition in 1881, this landscape drew the notice of two writers.
J.-K. Huysmans wrote enthusiastically in a volume of his reviews published two years later, "The Path to Le Chou in March [the present work] has an eloquent, joyful appearance, with its planes of vegetables, its fruit trees with twisted boughs, its village swept by poplar trees in the background. The sun rains down on the small houses, rubbing out the red of their roofs against the green confusion of the trees; what you see here is a rich earth worked by spring, a solid earth where plants grow feverishly, it's the hallelujah of nature being reborn, its juices at a boil; a rural exuberance scattering its violent tones, blowing strident fanfares of pale greens bolstered by the blue-green of cabbages; the whole thing shimmering in a powdery sunlight, in a vibration of air never seen previously in painting; and there is such inquiringness in the technique, such a novel style of execution, unlike that of any of the landscape artists we know"' (J. Pissarro & C. Durand-Ruel Snollaerts, op. cit., p. 416).

Q: Draw rect according to json array? I find d3js very interesting.So I thought may be I should give it a shot.I am fairly new to this framework and need some assistance
I have a json file.This is how it goes--:
            ["2511a51", [["mumbai",1,6], ["Baroda",2,7]]]
            ["2882bd9", [["mumbai",3,8], ["chennai", 2,9]]]
            ["1d3e1a2", [["mumbai",0,3],["Baroda",2,6], ["Delhi",7,1]]]
            ["1882b41", [["mumbai",10,9]]]
            ["1d4ffd8", [["chennai",2,5], ["mumbai", 5,9], ["Delhi",8,8]]]

Here,

*

*2511a51 is session id(ignore)

*Mumbai,baroda,chennai and delhi !!! are indian cities.

*Mumbai=draw red rectangle, baroda=brown rectangle ,chennai=green rectangle,delhi=blue rectangle
What I want is,if a json row has a and b -->then their respective colored rectangle should be drawn keeping c and d empty.So for this entire array,I get the below output.
As the image goes,

*

*5 session id`s means 5 rows.

*first and second rows includes two rectangles,third and fifth row have 3 rectangle and 4th row have 1 rectangle with every city having their respective colour and column

*Based on second value(ex.1 and 6 for 1st row)-->their colour intensity will be depended!!!more the number,darker the colour!!!

I want to code my javascript in such a way that I get this---:

MY fiddle--not working
My code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>demo-staticArray!!!</title>

</head>
<body>
<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    var SVG = d3.select("body").append("svg")
            .attr("class","stage")
            .attr("width",800)
            .attr("height",600)
            .style("background-color", "beige")
            .style("margin-left","200");

    var array=  ["2511a51", [["a",1], ["b",2]]]
            ["2882bd9", [["a",3], ["c", 2]]]
            ["1d3e1a2", [["a",0],["b",2], ["d",7]]]
            ["1882b41", [["a",10]]]
            ["1d4ffd8", [["c",2], ["b", 5], ["d",8]]]

    var RECT= SVG.selectAll("rect")
            .data(data)
            .enter().append("rect")
            .attr("width", 30)
            .attr("height", 10)
            .style("fill","red");//how do I provide conditions for fill-->a=red,b=brown,c=green,d=blue
    //how do I manage them such that they are arranged in a manner shown in the image.
    //I am unable to move ahead of this!!!!I am facing problem in iterations and conditions

</script>
</body>
</html>

If possible,please give a small working sample!!!

A: UPDATE 2 :  every time you are working with selects in d3 you are mapping data to your UI elements and their properties. in most of the cases you are doing it this way
 ... select('rect').data(myData)

then you need to actually map properties of items in your data set to the properties of UI elements, you are doing it providing functions which do the mapping , ie
  var myData = [{x:0, y:0 } , { x: 100 , y : 100 }]
  // we mapped our data to rect elements on svg canvas
  // and created new rect elements for data items which didnt have it before
  // now we have two elements in total as myData had 2 elements
  var rect = svg.select('rect').data(myData).enter()

  // now each rect has x attribute equals to 'x' property of data item
  rect.attr('x', function(d) { return d.x } )

  // and the same for y attribute and 'y' property
  rect.attr('y', function(d) { return d.y } )

  // now if you also set height and width properties of UI elements
  // you will see two rectangulars
  rect.attr('width', 50).attr('height', 50)

  // now you can rewrite your previos lines like that
  var xScale = function(d) { return d.x }
  rect.attr('x', xScale)

And now it is clear that if you have more complicated way of figuring out your X coordinate on the canvas than just your data item property, you will have more complicated function than current xScale
Now recalling school course of geometry we can do transformation from one scale to another , for instance
  var xScale = function(d) { return 50 + d.x * 100 }

which means that if d.x equals to 1 , function will return 150 , for 2 it would be 250 etc
And last step , in order to avoid figuring out on your own how to create this scale function ,you can use built in d3 features , links to which I put in the end of the answer, for instance
   var xScale = d3.scale.linear()
           .domain([0, 10]).range([50, 550])

UPDATED: fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/EdjbH/5/
NOTES: I slightly changed  your source data in order for it to make more sense to d3. Take a look at how color is generated, you will need to build your own palete as for instance gines capote recomended. In order to draw axises you can use d3 built in functions.
You need to do 3 things

*

*to create x-axis and y-axis scales based on your domain

*add .attr('x', function(d){ return xAxis(d[0]) }) and .attr('y', function(d){ return yAxis(d[1]) }) to your code generating RECT

*fill also accept function , and it make sense to create scale to use here as well, would be something like .style('fill', function(d) { return colorScale(d[0]]) })
Also because in fact you have array of array you need to change .data(data) to .data(function(d){ return d[1] })
Alternatively you can code you scales by hand like
var svg = d3.select("svg")
        .attr("class","stage")
        .attr("width",800)
        .attr("height",600)
        .style("background-color", "beige");

var data=  [{ key :"2511a51", values : [["a",1], ["b",2]] },
         { key :"2882bd9", values : [["a",3], ["c", 2]]},
         { key: "1d3e1a2", values : [["a",0],["b",2], ["d",7]] },
         { key :"1882b41", values : [["a",10]] },
         { key :"1d4ffd8", values : [["c",2], ["b", 5], ["d",8]]}];

var width  = 30, padding = 10, height = 10

var   code = function (c) {return c.charCodeAt(0) - 'a'.charCodeAt(0) }
, xScale = function (d) { return (width + 2*padding) * code(d[0]) }
, yScale = function (d) { return (height + 2 * padding) * d[1] }
, color = d3.scale.category20() // replace with your palete
, cScale = function(d) { return color(code(d[0])) }

var g = svg.selectAll("g").data(data).enter().append("g")

var rects= g.selectAll("rect.colored")
        .data(function(d){ return d.values })
        .enter().append("rect")
        .attr('class','colored')
        .attr("width", width)
        .attr("height", height)
        .attr('x', xScale )
        .attr('y', yScale )
        .style('fill',  cScale);

A: I believe you can do something like this:
var color = new Array();
color[0]="red";
color[1]="blue";

And then:
.style("fill", function(f) { ... return color[1] }

the ... means if json has row a or b or whatever

A: Here is a good example which is close to what you are looking for on bl.ocks.org.

Caverton Helicopters selects Thales to supply Reality H full-flight simulator
The simulator will be installed at Caverton's new training centre, designed to meet the increased demand for helicopter pilot training and, in particular, to eliminate the challenges experienced by many pilots aiming to obtain initial and recurrent training. The training centre's ultimate aim is to improve the overall safety of helicopter flights in the Nigerian and regional aviation sector. The centre is being set up on the same site as Caverton's brand new purpose-built Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria.
The Thales Reality H Full Flight Simulator is the world's most advanced commercial helicopter simulator, and will be used to provide realistic scenario-based flight and mission training to AW139 helicopter operators in the region as well as Caverton's own pilots and crews. The simulator will support a large range of training needs, including Type Rating, Recurrent Training and Proficiency Checks for both Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), including offshore missions and VIP operations to unprepared landing sites. It will be qualified to meet EASA Level D standard, the highest level of qualification for a simulator.
The simulator being delivered to Caverton will enable pilots that fly AW139 twin-engine helicopters –one of the most popular helicopter platforms in Nigeria and the region– to be fully immersed in a realistic virtual environment representing Nigerian operational areas, and learn to handle a multitude of system failures and overcome very complex malfunctions should they arise in the real world. Pilots can thus train safely in high-risk mission scenarios in a range of weather conditions.
Aderemi Makanjuola, Chairman, Caverton Offshore Support Group comments: "We are delighted to add Thales to our growing list of partners and we are confident in providing the best helicopter training with this Full Flight Level D Simulator. Safety is our priority at Caverton and we are committed to improving flight safety across our industry and the region through simulator-based training. The new training center being the first of its kind in Africa and will advance safety for the dedicated men and women who fly every day."
Benoît Plantier, VP Thales, Training & Simulation adds that "Thales is very excited to be part of this initiative with Caverton in Nigeria. We believe that Caverton is the best partner to develop helicopter flight training services, and we are confident that pilots will be keen to train with Caverton on the Thales AW139 Reality H simulator. This will strengthen Caverton's position as a leading provider of aviation logistics and training services in the region, enabling them to expand their service offer, while improving the security of helicopter flights in the region. This contract is also a key milestone for Thales as this will be the first helicopter level D Full-Flight Simulator to be installed in Africa."

Home / Environment / Waterfront cleanup Sunday
Waterfront cleanup Sunday
May 3, 2019 by Lauren O'Malley Environment
Tim Balasiuk is helping organize a waterfront cleanup, beginning at Queen's Royal Park. (Lauren O'Malley)
As a kid growing up in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Tim Balasiuk remembers the local Heifetz family fondly. He says they started an eco-fibre company, and preached all things green.
"There's a picture of me at 12 years old at their plant-a-tree, get-a-tree Earth Day event at Simcoe Park."
He credits the Heifetz's strength in their beliefs for his own passion for the environment — a passion which led to a sense of responsibility. "I remember that stuff from when I was young, but I have found that since then these things have been overlooked," he says.
When he started Paddle Niagara six years ago, Balasiuk spent a lot of time at the water's edge. Unable to ignore the amount of waste washing up on our beaches, he decided to do something about it. He pulled together a team of friends, and they collected shorefront garbage, mainly from near the first hole of the local golf course, he says.
They continued to do this annually, relatively unofficially. Then two years ago, Balasiuk says he was scoping out the beach at Queen's Royal Park, thinking about where he and his friends might start their annual cleanup, when he stumbled upon a sign that read, "Cleanup in progress, feel free to join." He learned the group was led by the Toronto-based group A Greener Future, as part of their many-stop "around the lake" endeavour. "I joined in, and then I thanked them on Twitter — and that started a relationship."
Balasiuk decided to partner with AGF, with a "better together" viewpoint. "We collaborated; it just made sense," he says.
He praises the young company, impressed by the founder's dedication and success. "They sort, recycle and catalogue everything that gets collected," he says. According to Balasiuk, last year — the first year of the collaboration — more than 50 volunteers turned up to pick up. "We've found everything from bicycles to car parts, even old rebar from old footings and moorings."
While many families climbed the rocks at Queen's Royal Park, pulling dozens of water bottles, straws, and cigarette butts from the spaces between the stones, Balasiuk and his friends went out in a "tinny" — an aluminum boat the kayaker calls his "dirt bike of the river."
They collected trash from further along the shoreline, along the golf course and into Niagara Shores Park, returning with the boat fully loaded.
AGF provides all of the equipment necessary: gloves, mechanical pickers, and bags. This year's cleanup will take place on Sunday May 5, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Balasiuk encourages families to participate, and says, "everyone will know where to go," after the 15-minute orientation talk at the beginning.
"Bring your boat, we'll find you a spot," says Balasiuk about anyone who might want to participate on the water. "And if you have the gumption to go pick up along the shoreline further along, contact us and we'll arrange to bring it back to Queen's Royal Park," he says, allowing that some people may have alternative areas on which they'd like to focus.
"If anyone doesn't want to come to Queen's Royal park but wants to go to Niagara Shores or another public property, contact us and we'll come and find you on the water at about 12:30." He also includes private waterfront property in his offer. Balasiuk can be reached at 905-401-7879.
Follow Paddle Niagara and A Greener Future on social media to watch the progress and learn more about the process.
Tim Balasiuk collected a significant amount of litter in 10 minutes along the beach at Queen's Royal Park. (Lauren O'Malley)


This series of posts is about the relationship between marketing/sales communication and revenue generation. It is inspired by the sales messages that I receive regularly pushing products and services notoriously without any insight into or interest for my business or my current situation. Receiving such messages and calls is like being at a party with robots. They look human, but they are unable to ask situational questions, listen, analyze or provide a contextual response, so all they do is replay programmed propaganda messages irrespective of what you ask or tell them. It is a party with a lot of noise, but it is awfully boring and never leaves a good, lasting impression.
All my business comes from inbound leads, but I realize that not all sales people are that fortunate. Getting inbound leads is great as you can ask questions to understand where they are on the buyer's journey and how they should be served moving forward. Some are very early in the buying stage and need more contextual need/pain related content to better understand their own situation, some need propaganda to understand what you have to offer and some need situational content to meet their specific requirements (e.g. a phone call, a meeting, a demonstration or a proposal).
There are many companies (most?) that do not get enough inbound leads to satisfy their need for revenue growth. They need sales development people to contact potential customers, and this is where things go wrong. Getting in touch with individual potential customers to test and then activate their needs requires a number of steps.
Going back to Kierkegaard in post #2 your approach should always be to learn and help, but how early can you engage and how much can you afford to invest in one-on-one situational conversations?
When I was a salesman selling business management solutions to the newspaper industry I personally facilitated the entire customer journey and took care of all contacts with the buying personas myself. My company invested in trade shows and conferences such as WAN/IFRA (Europe) and NEXPO (North America) where the buying personas came to us, but otherwise it was I who made contact with them and organized personal appointments. The purchase processes were extremely complex and correspondingly very long, the switching cost was enormous and the average project had double-digit million-dollar price tags.
Investing heavily in building relationships with all the potential customers in most corners of the world made sense because the market was global and there were only a limited number of purchase projects open in any year. If we were not considered as a potential vendor before the project went into the RFP-stage then we had no chance of winning the business. The deals were front-loaded providing cash up front and payments tied to milestones and final delivery. After successful implementation we could charge for maintenance, support and add-on functionality.
A market with few but very high priced deals requires that you continuously build individual relationships and nurture these for years preparing for the day where the customer enters the active project stage. The price tags and payment format justifies the investment in sales resources and activities.
A market with many deals and small price tags calls for a different approach relying more on one-to-many marketing activities and automated nurturing. When the delivery format is associated with payments related to consumption of the solution, then recouping the sales cost becomes a huge challenge and you need to enter the individual sales stage either shortly before closing time or in a format that is less costly to maintain.
So how can you use social media as a low cost engagement activity in your selling efforts and what are the guidelines for doing it effectively?
It starts with your own social media profiles. There is no reason to drive potential customers to your profiles if you leave them confused and offer no value.
Do your social media profiles clearly convey your value proposition for your key target audience? Is it clear for any visitor what insight and domain competencies that you possess and offer? Is it clear that you could be a valuable resource to have in the visitor's network?
The vast majority of sales people have social media profiles designed to get another job and not another customer.
Your social media profile is a piece of propaganda, but you should use it to convey domain insight and skills that are important to your potential customers rather than to your potential employers.
Are your social media profiles dead?
A Twitter account with no tweets and no followers? A LinkedIn profile with no updates and activities related to your profession? A Facebook profile showing you in a funny costume and drunk at a stag party? You claim that you are a professional or maybe even a thought leader, but you don't show it.
How can you be a trusted capacity for your potential customers, when you never share anything professional on social media?
The best you can do is produce your own content showing your insight and experience with the challenges and opportunities that your customers are facing. The next best is sharing quality content produced by others, but still closely related to the challenges and opportunities that your customers are facing.
Now you can start making connections and with the content that you produce or share on a regular basis you can now become a potential valuable source of domain insight relevant to your target audience.
You can easily answer the question: Why should I connect with you? – "Because I work with the same challenges and opportunities as you do and I post professional content on social media that may be of value to you".
This is the nucleus of the sales discipline where you are always offering something with a higher value than what you expect in return.
As opposed to the traditional approach: "Hey, I want to connect because I have something that I want to sell to you," which I can confirm isn't perceived well by most people.
Focus on the social media platforms that are most widely used by your target audience and then learn how the plumbing works. You must know about hashtags, DMs and retweets if you use Twitter. You must understand the fundamentals of LinkedIn if this is where you engage with your audience. There are books, webinars, whitepapers and blog posts on how to use any social media platform. Google what you need and get familiar with the fundamentals.
As a sales person you need to manage your pipeline and be selective as to where you invest your resources. Regular posting of professional material and making comments to other's postings are required to maintain your presence and visibility with your target audience.
As potential customers move into buying mode you need to monitor their social media behavior to see what they are currently busy with and you need to respond correspondingly with situational and contextual content.
Bear in mind that many of your key connections are not active on and do not visit the social media platforms on a regular basis. The rule of thumb is that the higher in the organization they sit the less they post and the less often they visit the social media platforms, but social media activity is in general very individual.
Maybe your potential market is so big that you don't need to worry about the portion not active on social media, but if that is not the case then you may have to engage with them and push information to them through other more conventional channels.
Also remember that not everyone enjoys reading. Some prefer videos and others podcasts that they consume while waiting, driving or flying. Repackage your content so you reach a much larger portion of your key audience.
Whatever you post on social media is indexed by the search engines. As you build your repository of posts and engage in the online activities the probability that you will be found by people searching for what you do will increase.
You should definitely pay attention to the key words and phrases used in your industry and make sure your content includes those that are relevant.
Each sales person cannot be a search engine optimization expert, but you need to be familiar with the basics and you should expect that the assets provided by your marketing department are optimized for the search engines.
This is actually much easier than it sounds because you cannot engage effectively in the discussions of your customers' challenges and opportunities unless you speak their language.
Even though most of my own business comes though social media I cannot recommend that you rely entirely on these channels unless you have carefully done your homework first.
How, how much and for what you should use social media in your sales effort comes down to an individual assessment of your business model, your business model environment, your revenue generation process and the skills of your revenue generation organization. All of which must be designed to facilitate your customers' buying journeys.
If social media can and should play an important role in facilitating your customers' purchase processes, then you shouldn't leave the initiative to each individual sales person (and just give her a ½-day introduction to LinkedIn), but treat the area as a strategic component of your marketing mix. Define how you recommend using social media in your specific situation, provide a repository of assets and templates to be used and find out how to benchmark the best performing approaches.
Expecting each sales representative to generate their own content is utopian. Those who can will do it and you don't want those who cannot to even try. Leaving the initiative to the individual sales person may make some successful, but it will be impossible to scale predictably.
 Contact can be made in many ways such as meeting them at a conference, sending a Tweet, calling on the phone, sending an email, sending an InMail or inviting to connect on LinkedIn.
 I will even argue that your next employer may recognize this as an important skill and differentiator to other candidates.
 Believe me, most sales people do not understand the fundamentals of LinkedIn.

William English, Computer Mouse Co-Creator, Has Passed
August 3, 2020 by Kristina Panos 17 Comments
We are saddened to report that William English, co-inventor of the computer mouse, died July 26 in San Rafael, California. He was 91 years old.

Every piece of technology starts with a vision, a vague notion of how a thing could or should be. The computer mouse is no different. In fact, the mouse was built to be an integral part of the future of personal computing — a shift away from punch cards and mystery toward a more accessible and user-friendly system of windowed data display, hyperlinks, videoconferencing, and more. And all of it would be commanded by a dot on the screen moving in sync with the operator's intent, using a piece of hardware controlled by the hand.
The stuff of science fiction becomes fact anytime someone has the means to make it so. Often times the means includes another human being, a intellectual complement who can conjure the same rough vision and fill in the gaps. For Douglas Engelbart's vision of the now-ubiquitous computer mouse, that person was William English.
William English was born January 27, 1929 in Lexington, Kentucky. His father was an electrical engineer and William followed this same path after graduating from a ranch-focused boarding school in Arizona. After a stint in the Navy, he took a position at Stanford Research Institute in California, where he met Douglas Engelbart.

Engelbart showed William his notes and drawings, and he built the input device that Englebart envisioned — one that could select characters and words on the screen and revolutionize text editing. The X/Y Position Indicator, soon and ever after called the mouse: a sort of rough-yet-sleek pinewood derby car of an input device headed into the future of personal computing.
William's mouse was utilitarian: a wooden block with two perpendicular wheels on the bottom, and a pair of potentiometers inside to interpret the wheels' X and Y positions. The analog inputs are converted to digital and represented on the screen. The first mouse had a single button, and the cord was designed to run out the bottom, not the top.

Die Elementdecke oder Kaiserdecke ist eine Stahlbetonfertigteildecke mit einer Ortbetonergänzung als Aufbeton. Häufig wird auch die Bezeichnung Gitterträgerdecke, Halbfertigteildecke oder der Markenname Filigrandecke verwendet. Schätzungsweise 4 Millionen Quadratmeter Elementdecken werden in Deutschland jährlich produziert.

Das Halbfertigteil besteht aus einer 4 bis 6 cm dicken Stahlbetonplatte. Es ist mit dem für den Endzustand notwendigen unterseitigen Betonstahl sowie mit den für den Montagezustand notwendigen biegesteifen Gitterträgern bewehrt. Die Gitterträger bestehen aus verschweißten Betonstählen, dem sichtbaren Obergurtstab, zwei einbetonierten Untergurtstäben sowie den Diagonalen zwischen Obergurt und Untergurten. Durch eine raue Oberfläche und die Diagonalen der Gitterträger wird im Endzustand der Verbund zwischen Fertigteil und Ortbeton sichergestellt.

Im Gegensatz zur Spannbeton-Fertigdecke ist die Elementdecke zweiachsig gespannt und ermöglicht so uneingeschränkte Konstruktionsfreiheit. Die Elementdecke kombiniert die Vorteile des Fertigteils, den Verzicht auf die Deckenschalung, mit den Vorteilen des Ortbetonbaus, der monolithischen Bauweise. Die Fugen zwischen den einzelnen bis zu 2,50 m breiten Platten sind allerdings zu verspachteln. Vor dem Aufbringen des Aufbeton ist die erforderliche Bewehrung, welche im Fertigteil nicht enthalten ist, einzubauen. Insbesondere quer zu den Fugen ist eine Zulagebewehrung notwendig. Diese Querbewehrung muss so fixiert sein, dass sie sich beim Betonieren des Aufbetons nicht verschieben kann. Außerdem darf sie nicht direkt auf dem Fertigteil liegen, sondern sollte zwecks ausreichender Dauerhaftigkeit zum Fertigteil eine Betondeckung von 1 cm aufweisen. Aufgrund der sehr glatten Deckenuntersicht, welche ein Verputzen überflüssig macht, wird die Halbfertigteildecke oft im Wohnungsbau verwendet.

Die Elementdeckenplatten sind ausreichend tragfähig für Transport und Montage. Um auch das Zusatzgewicht des Aufbetons tragen zu können, benötigen sie je nach Stützweite und Gewicht des Aufbetons bis zu dessen Aushärtung eine linienförmige Zwischenunterstützung, die oft aus Holzschalungsträgern und Sprießen (Deckenstützen) besteht. Die Aushärtezeit des Betons und die Deckenstützen im Geschoss darunter verlängern die Bauzeit im Vergleich zur Fertigdecke. Auch die durch den Oberbeton eingebrachte Feuchte muss beachtet werden. Während der Aushärtung können an der Elementdecke Schwindrisse entstehen, die aber in der Regel keine statischen Auswirkungen haben.

As part of surveying which hospitals and doctors accentuate the humanizing aspect in their services, we reached The Indus Hospital in Korangi, Karachi.
Indus is Pakistan's first paperless hospital. That's one distinction. Use of technology and a home-grown HIMS is being used to remove paper wastage.
For the poor, it's free medical care. Even the rich won't be charged. Although they are welcome to donate if they wish so. That's second distinction.
The third distinction is that Indus prides itself with quality care with what they call dignity. Just because patients are poor or could be illiterate and from villages in rural Sindh doesn't mean they needed to be shoved. So a decent, systemic attempt to register and seat them at OPD or receive them at ER is what Indus is trying to achieve.
The fourth distinction is that they have a 2024 vision. Under which they will increase the capacity from current 150-bed to 1,500-bed, with five-times OPDs. This will happen in three phases, phase 1 to be completed by 2017.
The fifth distinction is that their new campuses will be designed using renewable and solar energy resources with the help of a Singaporean designer firm which has experience of designing hospitals there. When complete, it will look like this, below!
The sixth distinction is that their model is scalable. Which means anyone with resources and land can set up similar healthcare facilities anywhere. Indus's oversight of a hospital in Muzaffargarh, Punjab, is a testimony to that.
Although I have met him on several occasions, the Indus CEO Dr Abdul Bari Khan, was not around during our visit. His team of CFO Ahson Tariq, Saqib Zeeshan and Mohsin Ali Bahadurani toured us around.
More in future, insha Allah.


Whether located in a refinery' terminal' hot mix plant or roofing plant' CIRCOR pumps move asphalt per the customer specifications. CIRCOR pumps associated with asphalt plants include three screw and thermal oil pumps.
Thermal oil pumps are used to provide process heat. The heat is provided via circulated water or synthetic liquid that helps keep the asphalt at an elevated temperature and thus from solidifying.
Three screw pumps are used for asphalt pumping. Typically' these pumps are rugged' heavy duty pumps designed to last and handle the elevated temperature conditions. They pull asphalt from a central reservoir and move it into the manufacturing stream for processing.

ORDER denying Defendants' 833 Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law on Damages or New Trial. Signed by District Judge Raymond A. Jackson and filed on 4/2/13. (mwin, )
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COTTRT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIILGINIA FILED Norfolk Division APR -2 2013 I/P ENGINE, INC., CL EHK, US DISTRICT COURT NORFOLK, VA Plaintiff, V. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:llcv512 AOL INC., et aL, Defendants. ORDER Before the Court is Defendants' Renewed Motion for a Judgment as a Matter of Law on Damages (ECF No. 833), pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b). As an alternative to granting the Defendants' Renewed Motion for a Judgment as a Matter of Law on Damages, the Defendants seeka new trial on all issues, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 59(a). Rule 50 permits a district court, if it "finds that the jury would not have a legally sufficient evidentiary basis to find for the party on that issue" to "resolve the issue against the party...[or] grant a motion for judgment as a matter of law[.]" F.R.C. P. 50(a). As to motions under Rule 50, only admissible evidence can be considered when determining whether there is a legally sufficient evidentiary basis to support a jury's verdict. Weisgram v. Marley Co., 528 U.S. 440, 454 (U.S. 2000). Rule 59(a) instructs that "[t]he court may, on motion, grant a new trial on all or some of the issues-and to any party.. .after a jury trial, for any reason for which a new trial has heretofore beengranted in an action at law in federal court[.]" As a general matter, disturbing a jury's verdict by ordering a newtrial under Rule 59(a) is an extreme remedy only warranted in a narrow set of circumstances: On such a motion it is the duty of the judge to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial, if he is of the opinion that [1] the verdict is against the clear weight of the evidence, or [2] is based upon evidence which is false, or [3] will result in a miscarriage of justice, even though there may be substantial evidence which would prevent the direction of a verdict. AtlasFoodSys. &Servs. v. Crane Nat'l Vendors, 99 F.3d 587, 594 (4th Cir. 1996). Further, "[o]n a Rule 59 motion, courts may make credibilityjudgments in determining the clear weight of the evidence." AttardIndus, v. UnitedStates Fire Ins. Co., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 119119 (E.D. Va. Nov. 9, 2010) (citation omitted). Finally, "the court will search the record for evidence that could reasonably lead the jury to reach its verdict, drawing all reasonable inferences in favor of the verdict winner." 12 Moore's Federal Practice - Civil § 59.13 (3d ed. 1997). Having reviewed the parties' memoranda, the Court first finds that there is a legally sufficient evidentiary basis for the jury's verdict. Furthermore, the Court finds that the verdict is not against the clear weight of the evidence, nor was the verdict of the jury based on evidence that is false, or will a miscarriage ofjustice result. Defendants have raised issues that have already been resolved by the Court in prior rulings and orders. Accordingly, Defendants' Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law on Damages or New Trial (ECF No. 833) is DENIED. The Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Order to counsel and parties of record. IT IS SO ORDERED. Norfolk, Virginia _ April J^zuii United States District Judge April 1 2013 _ , Raymond A. Jackson

1868 Beadle's Dime
Base-Ball Player Broadside
By Carlton Hendricks
....As for 1860's baseball memorabilia there's not much to be had...and most of what does surface that is significant goes in sports auctions. Occasionally you might see 1860's baseball sheet music on ebay. The Beadle's Dime Novels which this broadside advertises were hard to find even thirty years ago when I first started collecting. If a dealer did have any copies they were typically grouped with the Spalding Guides...Nowadays people know what, and how rare they are....
ere would be a very good example of the power of eBay. Had I spent $500.00 on a round trip ticket plus hotel to some show, like the Boston book fair...and found this there...just this one piece would have been worth the whole trip. But because of the internet and eBay I found it on my kitchen table. This little broadside well illustrates how eBay has leveled the playing field for collectors. Shows are great...I really enjoy going to them...but if I don't find anything it's not a big deal anymore. Because on average I probably have 3-5 items I'm scoping on eBay at any given time...Not that those 3-5 items would be at this level. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give this about a 9 in importance, as displayable sports antiques go...I would estimate I see something this great on eBay probably...oh say once a year or two. Although I'll have to say I seriously doubt one of these will ever surface again on eBay...Given that, and what we're about to expound on, my 9 score could be a little shaky and leaning towards 10.
Beadle's Dime Base-Ball Player was one of many "Dime books", or paperback booklets, published by Beadle & Co. in the 19th century. They were mainly marketed to the "common man". The books were published once yearly from 1860 to 1881 and were edited by baseball patriarch Henry Chadwick, known as the father of baseball. Each year the booklets reviewed the best teams and players of the previous year and gave players averages. Today the publication is considered the first baseball guide. Beadle's Dime Base-Ball Player ran it's course until Henry Chadwick left in 1881 to be editor the Spalding Guides.
Baseball in the 1860's
To appreciate this broadside first you have to understand it's 1860's baseball...The 1860's was when baseball really started to take off; and by then many teams had been established. New York City was the capitol of baseball then. The first Convention of Base-Ball Players was held in New York City in May 1857. Official rules and regulations were laid down for the first time at that convention. From there the game evolved to what we have today...So by the mid 1860's baseball was way past the training wheel stage and full speed ahead...being the first full decade of the organized game so to speak...

1860's baseball memorabilia
As for 1860's baseball memorabilia there's not much to be had. Most of what does surface that is significant goes in sports auctions. Occasionally you might see 1860's baseball sheet music on Bbay. The Beadle's Dime Novels which this broadside advertises were hard to find even thirty years ago when I first started collecting. If a dealer did have any copies they were typically grouped with the Spalding Guides...Nowadays people know what, and how rare they are. Baseball advertising pieces from the 1860's are the rarest of the rare. That's why when I saw this on eBay it was lights out for the rest of the search session...no need to go any further that day...The closest thing I've seen to this was a c1900 broadside for Spalding Guides at the 2011 National...saw it right as it was being sold...As I recall it was priced about $4,000.00...Side note: I recall speaking to the dealer who sold it John Ross afterwards...As I recall he told me what he had to pay for it and I was a little taken back...it was serious money and I better understood his selling price.
The intended target
This broadside is exceedingly rare. I've never seen one before, and I don't expect to ever see another. It's quite interesting the target of the advertising copy was not the general public. Instead it would have been for those who distributed the booklets...most likely the retailers. That assumption is based on compelling verbiage of the last line: "As the edition has become the recognized authority of the National Base Ball Association, the demand for the annual issue is very large."...Clearly that speaks to a seller not a buyer. Even more clear it wasn't for the public, the third line boldly declares: "TO THE TRADE." in bold caps
eBay categories Beadle's broadside was listed in
Were this an actual poster size, say at least 20" tall, instead of handbill size, it would be in the epoch level. Were that so it would have most likely been made for the general public, not the trade. I can only imagine what something like that would sell for if seen by the right collectors. Nevertheless I gave this broadside a 9 score out of 10. It's small format is nevertheless still displayable. I have a U.C. Berkeley big game rally broadside about the same size 8 1/2" x 6" and it still pops. The $623.00 selling price was certainly a bargain. This is about as early as baseball gets. Ordered baseball that is...with documented coded rules and regulations, and a governing body. The condition would be a moot point given how rare it is, i.e. only known example. When something is this great and rare you take it in any condition. Considering that, the condition is remarkably good...Now about the listing...The nuances of listing on eBay are all important to how much it sells for. Primarily, No. 1 the key words in the title, to optimize search hits. i.e. so it's found by potential bidders...And No. 2 the categories an item is placed in. This broadside was placed under two (two is the most eBay allows):
Collectibles > Paper > Ephemera > 1800-99
...and the second category
Sports Memorabilia, Cards & Fan Shop > Vintage Sports Memorabilia > Other Vintage Sports Memorabilia
...Not too bad but I'd have gone with "vintage sports posters" for the second one...As I write this there are 68,405 listings in Other Vintage Sports Memorabilia...and 14,819 in Vintage Sports Posters...which is about 21% of Other Sports Memorabilia...which could potentially pan out to an 80% better chance of being seen...Now about the title: "Antique 1868 Broadside for Beadley's Dime Baseball Player ~ NR". The words that count....that is words that potential bidders might search for...would be "antique" and "baseball" and to a lesser extent "broadside"...antique and baseball were all important...broadside not so much...I'd have used the word "poster" in the title...over broadside...I give the seller credit though...He or she didn't do too bad...There were 30 bids upon closing. My bid of $577.77 was third from the top. I gave it my carefully calculated best considering all the aspects we've covered...Moreover it's been one power find after another for me over the last year and I needed a breather!...With eBay you never know who ended up with an item...However while preparing for this story I posted a request on Net54Baseball.com for a photo of the cover of an 1868 Beadle's Dime Base-Ball Player. It's a relatively small community of collectors for ancient baseball. Therefore I was a little surprised, but not too surprised, to get a private message from Bruce, the person who won the broadside...net54 user name bgar3.
Private message exchange with owner of
Beadle's baseball broadside on Net54Baseball.com
Q. Would anyone have a copy of Beadle's Dime Baseball Player for 1868?
Carlton, I do not currently have a copy of that guide, but have had one on the last and the cover, except for date, is virtually identical to the covers of the prior year and following get year, if I recall. However, I do have a broadside advertising the 1868 guide if you would like to see a copy. Bruce
Hello Bruce...That would have to be the one that just sold on ebay...I was the second underbidder at $577.00 as I recall...congrats...Yeah I'm featuring it as my upcoming Sports Antique of the Week on my site SportsAntiques.com...so already have a good photo of it....You must be very happy to have it...what's your story...what made you go for it? -carlton
Carlton, I am a collector of Chadwick and George Wright primarily, including a number of their own books and annotated items. I expected a high bidder, but I think you and I must have been the only 2. To me there is no comparison between something like this and the items you collect and cards, of which there are hundreds or more of even very valuable ones. But I am glad. I thought it too much a coincidence to have you post a question on 1868, but I was thinking there may have been another broadside. On your original question I am fairly sure it is the batter cover. DeWitt used a pitcher. Love your stuff. Bruce
In closing, one particular aspect of why it didn't sell for more could have been a mistake in the title.... Notice the seller misspelled Beadle's as "Beadley's"....That could have impacted the price in that collectors who regularly search for Beadle's Dime Base-Ball Player booklets would not have found it. It would have only taken two high ability collectors to get into it over this for it to have skyrocketed!

Oct 29th-


Smooth, silky and flawless skin is the dream of every woman. Unwanted or excess hair is the biggest hurdle in realizing this beautiful dream. As a result various means of hair removal are being developed and improvised to near perfection.
The various methods of hair removal are: – shaving, tweezing, waxing, using depilatory creams & lotions, thermolysis, electrolysis and now the most advanced laser technique.
Heat produced by the laser beam passes through the skin and destroys the hair follicle. However other structures within the skin like, nerves or blood vessels are not harmed. The intensity of heat produced enables the destruction of several hair follicles at the same time.
It is a known fact that laser rays are ineffective for the removal of gray hair. This is because the black pigment or melanin is absent in hair that is gray or white. The presence of melanin enables the hair to absorb the laser rays extremely well. Since nerves, blood vessels and other structures within the skin do not possess melanin, no harm is caused to them.
The laser probe is placed on the surface of the skin. The rays that are passed are then absorbed by the melanin present in the papilla of the hair. Thus, the hair follicles present in this region are destroyed due to the severe heat generated in the area by the laser beam.


Tariq, our good friend from Iraq who has worked with our U.S. Military for over 2 years now as an interpreter, joined us on our call tonight from Baghdad.
Many of you are already familiar with Tariq, as we have mentioned him on past calls...His life, along with the lives of interpreter's like him, IS IN JEOPARDY now that the U.S. Troops are leaving.
The 2 articles listed below are interviews of Tariq where it is explained as to why their lives are in jeopardy and what we can do to help. Please read the interviews as we are MAKING A PLEA FOR HELP!
We MUST and NEED to Come Together as ONE!
Make a difference! ... Please remember..Helping & Giving is a Choice We Make That Saves Our Own Lives Too!
Worldview: More tales of Iraqis who fear betrayal by U.S.
They stepped up to help American troops and civilians but now face death as "collaborators." We have to help them get their visas.
Iraqis who risked their lives to work for the U.S. military no longer have the protection of living on base. They want to move to the U.S., but red tape is holding up visas.
The U.S. bases in Iraq are closing, troops are coming home, and these Iraqi's now fear for their lives. Thousands of Iraqi's who have helped the American forces by working side by side as interpreter's are still waiting to relocate and enter the United States... In the Iraqi culture, if you worked for the Americans you are out-casted and considered an infiltrator and traitor… and to top it all off the radical Sunni and Shiite militia groups have publicly pledged to kill Iraqis who worked for Americans.
Congress established a Special Immigrant Visa program (SIV) in 2008 that was supposed to expedite immigration to U.S., but the program seems to have come to a standstill for security reasons, so they say, despite the fact that these particular Iraqi's had already undergone extensive and exhaustive security checks in order to work on U.S. bases to begin with.
Tariq, our 26 year old special guest tonight, has received awards, recommendations from the an array of American employers including the Brigadier General heading his unit and several other senior officers in command… but despite Tariq's faithful service, recommendations and job well done, he was told in June that his special visa is on "administrative hold" for 8 to 12 months because of these new security procedures… End result: This "so-called" administrative hold" has now placed Tariq in harm's way leaving him open to assassination.
Less than 3,500 of these special immigration visas, out of the 25,000 available, have been issued, and many of those issued now face long delays or have been told their visas are canceled.
A few weeks ago Tariq lost his job as a Military translator who worked with a U.S. combat unit and with a U.S. contracting unit that checks on Iraqi subcontractors. Tariq has joined us here tonight from his home to update and inform us on the situation for the Iraqi interpreter's and sub-contractors and how their futures are not looking optimistic at all.
1. Tariq, you were supposed to be laid off in Aug., and due to your proven credibility and relationship with your unit, especially your Lieutenant Cornel, you were kept on until the month of October. Your Lieutenant Cornel contacted the Embassy, State Dept. and so on, in attempt to expedite your visa … What was the response you received?
2. Can you tell us what was told to you by an Iraqi army private the last time you were escorted out of your base?
3. You used to live on the Camp Victory U.S. Military Base while working as a Military interpreter… this is where you were at your safest… and now, am I correct in stating that you are currently home behind locked doors to where it has not been safe enough for you to step out of?
4. Can you tell us why you took this job on and then can you give us a vision of what your everyday life like now after the fact?
5. I know you are aware that both Presidents Bush and Obama have stated the job as an interpreter in Iraq holds specific criteria since interpreter's work directly with the Military and support their operations. So don't you feel that you deserve to be taken as priority in entering the U.S.?
6. What do you want to ask the American's and can you tell us how we can help?
7. I thank you so much for being here and bringing all this information to our awareness… I know of the risk you are taking in telling us your story.
The I.Q.D. TEAM Asks Questions and/or adds closing comments here.
1. Contact your senator or representative. Send letters to Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Get your churches, your veterans' groups, and any group you can muster to send letters, too.
You may think such letters won't help. But six senators, including John Kerry (D., Mass.) and Republican Richard Lugar (R., Ind.), have just sent a letter to Homeland Security requesting answers about why the SIVs are stalled. They should be urged to press the issue.
2. Fund groups such as IRAP [Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project], which provides volunteer U.S. lawyers to help SIV applicants. The Philadelphia law firm Reed Smith L.L.P. and students at the University of Pennsylvania Law School are helping with some of these cases.
3. If you know anyone in the media [news, radio, paper, magazine] please contact them and ask if they can help spread this information.
Many heartfelt thanks for any and all help you can give!


Lock in a great price for Hoi An Green Apple Hotel – rated 9.2 by recent guests!
Staff were brilliant. They even emailed before we arrived to see if we needed a transfer from the airport. Transfer was significantly cheaper than anything that we could have arranged at the airport so we were pretty happy. Location is not too bad. We didn't walk or bike to old town as we were easily able to get taxis or Grabs for about $1 each way. Rooms weren't huge, but they were clean and comfortable. Hotel is located on a quiet street so not too much beeping in the middle of the night. The baguette they serve with breakfast each morning was delicious!
The staff were very helpful and very knowledgeable about Hoi An.
The staff were excellent, attended to every need! Good breakfasts, clean rooms, convenient location.
The breakfast is very good. The staff is superb. Special mention to lienh the receiptionist in the morning time. She is outstanding at her work and suggested and planned us our trip in Hoi an. They offer free cycle which is useful. Overall great value for money. Their vegetarian food is worth trying as well.
Good central location. Very good breakfast. Great staff!
The swimming pool was a great luxury to have for such a reasonable price and the free bike hire was so useful.
Great location, very friendly staff. Spacious room with a huge bed, a good job as we booked a twin and didn't get one. Great shower. Breakfast was nice but limited.
Friendly and really helpful staff, good location and easy to cycle into town using there free bikes, great breakfast selection, clean and comfortable room.

There is nothing I didn't like. It was great.
Friendly, attentive staff. Clean, comfortable rooms. Great breakfast.
We had to wait 40mins after check in time to get into our room.
Staff very friendly. Great location, close distance to the ancient town and the hotel offer bicycles for free.
Friendly and helpful staff. Tasty breakfast. Good service.
Nice swimmingpool, very good breakfast buffet, staff excellent service.
About a 20 minute walk from ancient town Hoi an , but they offer free bikes : so no problem! Also : if you're getting tired of going by bike with all the horrible traffic , just use the app "Grab" , which is a super cheap taxi service !!
Hot water can run out at peak times.
Friendly staff. Good facilities and buffet. Short walk to old town.
The location was a little out of the way. But can not be beat for the value!
We ended up staying here for 5 nights. The staff are amazing, very helpful and so caring. It's a smaller hotel so feels more personal. Nice little pool area, great food. Breakfast is excellent given the size of the hotel. 15 minute walk into the Old Town or 5 minutes in the taxi. A really lovely base while in Hoi An, thanks Green Apple!
The pool : it was a wading pool, not a swimming pool!
delicous breakfast, helpful friendly staff, nice room with beautiful view!
The bathroom lighting could be improved.
Ms Lien is very helpful. Answered all my questions before arrival. She is always very helpful and polite. Location is close to old town. Hotel is comfortable and clean, staffs are great. Really happy I stayed here with my husband and 2 big boys.
It was a bit of a walk in to Hoi An town (but still a decent location). There wasn't always hot water, and the bathroom water smelled of sewerage at times (but I don't know if this is within the control of the hotel to fix).
Great value for money, the staff were so lovely and helpful, and the room was really nice.

E3: Someone Is Apparently Dumping The Zelda Wii U Demo To SD Card
Update: User's Twitter account has now been deleted.
Rumours are circulating online that an individual is currently trying to dump The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild E3 demo for Wii U onto an SD Card. This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened so it wouldn't surprise me if it's actually legitimate. If they are successful then no doubt this will be circulating its way around online.

Considering the amount of security they likely have around the game that sounds like a tall task.

I don't think it was wise to report this guys…

It won't work even if he dumps it. It just doesn't work like that and for good reason.

BS. He can't get that close to a demo build to do anything as the only places to play it are NYC and LA. Security at both places is tight because they DON'T want this to happen. I've been to enough Nintendo media events to know they keep eyes everywhere and systems locked down.
If anything, fans should hold out hope that Nintendo will release a demo on the eShop after the show at some point (yep, and before year's end) so anyone can play it for free without needing to go to such measures.

Depends since they let people use capture cards and the like sometimes.
Kein Hilario (@Seyunx) June 14, 2016 at 8:16 pm
I was really hoping Nintendo would announce a demo download at the end of their trailer announcement :/
darthchrisb June 14, 2016 at 8:16 pm
The fact that the Twitter account has been deleted (by himself) just prooves that the rumour is bullshit.
John Bush June 14, 2016 at 9:09 pm
I cant stand idiots like this. Just have some fucking patience and stop fucking it up for the rest of us.
AMan FromDeclan June 14, 2016 at 9:20 pm
Just what exactly are the "fucking up" i.e. "ruining"?
Brandon Hardacre June 15, 2016 at 10:44 pm
Leaking and ruining info and surprises. People need to get lives.
King Kalas X3 June 14, 2016 at 11:35 pm
:/ Please no. If we get a shit load of leaks about Zelda because some managed to download the demo which had more than what Nintendo showed, I'll be pissed. We've had enough of that bullshit concerning Zelda with fucking Hyrule Warriors on Wii U & 3DS!
someone managed* Fixed.
What got leaked for Hyrule Warriors?
King Kalas X3 June 15, 2016 at 2:57 am
Every single fucking playable character in the game! What's worse is the fact it was Nintendo themselves that did it!
Greg Wilcox June 15, 2016 at 3:19 am
Played the demo at Nintendo NY today. NO chance of anyone nefarious getting anywhere NEAR the demo stations as they were… wait for it…
LOCKED.
The 8 (9 if you count the main station no one knew where it was located) Wii U's were each encased inside big display stands with a HD set on top. You'd need a hammer, some knockout gas to put out the people playing and the large amount of Nintendo staff flown in PLUS the crowd watching from behind the demo stations time to be evil and escape. Didn't happen. Everyone was glued to their screens with one rep for each pair of stations.
I absolutely did ask about the chance of the demo(s – there were two) coming to the eShop, but there wasn't a clear yes or no answer. No one was sure most likely because they simply had no information (as it's not their job to do anything but make sure people playing were enjoying themselves, and yes, they asked questions and took notes as people played).
I'd gather anything happening regarding that will have to wait until after the show and what Nintendo decides. I'd gather they DON'T want people digging into the code, but as the demos timed out after 15 and 25 minutes respectively, I'd also gather that someone would need to figure out how to shut the timers off.
There was SO much to do and see that it was actually very overwhelming (in the best possible manner).
Off to do a hands-on now.
Noah Lee Davison (@noah1831) June 15, 2016 at 9:37 am
In addition to that, to rip a game from a wii u you need a wii u with a specific firmware version, and when you do rip the games, due to the way wii u games are stored, the file will always be exactly 24gb.
Chris Richardson June 15, 2016 at 10:02 am
At E3 the demo stations aren't really too secure in some places… not suggesting anyone does anything stupid like this.
But yeah, it's possible.
When I was setting up our equipment we did have some systems that were not enclosed in plastic and the like but it's generally the private press only rooms where you have to be part of the invited press for that specific company/room and typically there's always people watching you.
I got to go into the Sony booth when I was at E3 where you had to be a member of their team, and from what I recall they also had some open stations.
But in general unless you're working the booth before or after E3 actually starts or ends you're probably not gonna have a high chance of getting your hands on anything there's too many people around it's nearly impossible unless you could some how hack the console remotely or something.
Either way, I'd say it's possible but chances of it happening are slim to none.
Andreas (@KoopaXross) June 15, 2016 at 2:06 pm
If this is true then more power to him. It's just a demo after all.

Creig US June 15, 2016 at 8:51 pm
You fucking dumbasses, why would you report on this you dumb fucks. Bitch ass snitches.
Because they don't want the demo ruined.
King Kalas X3 June 16, 2016 at 12:18 am
Creig is probably one of those losers that commits crimes then gets pissy because someone ratted their loser ass out.
Or he's the one that was trying to do it & is pissed he was stupid enough to get caught.
Better to be a snitch than a loser that let's bad people get away with bad things. Typical criminal mentality, though. "Don't snitch!" More like don't do bad shit & you won't get told on.
Anonymous October 23, 2016 at 8:06 am
The reason why it would be terrible is because it would be an immense blow to Nintendo's profits which would affect other things that Nintendo would later on put out.
