Q: Un-applying Group Policy Change I was playing around in Group Policy Editor on Windows 10 (Education edition, fully updated, version 1703) and managed to disable Windows Spotlight. It turns out I liked the rotating lock screen/login screen images and want to get them back!
So, I went through and reset the apparently relevant group policies to Not Configured and rebooted; this didn't help. I tried running gpupdate /force both as myself and in an elevated command prompt; no dice. I reset all group policies to Not Configured and tried gpupdate and multiple reboots; still nothing. Finally, I went through all the group policies I had changed and set them to the more permissive setting--Enabled or Disabled as appropriate--followed by gpupdates and reboots; no change.
I looked in the registry and all the relevant keys seem to have the values I'd expect for the group policy settings.
gpresult /R just gives me a big list of "N/A"
And I'm still stuck with *Some settings are hidden or managed by your organization. in Settings>Personalization>Lock Screen.
What gives?

Here's my RSoP

John has some great links to good online video satire.
And it's not often I take my hat off to George W Bush, but I think this clip, from the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, is splendid. It happened a few months ago, but I hadn't seen it before.

Q: cannot convert from 'const char *' to 'char *' for std::string::c_str This gives the error: cannot convert from 'const char *' to 'char *'.
class Mock
{
public:
    ...
    static void func(char **result)
    {
          *result = (resultsI++)->c_str();
    }
static std::vector<std::string> results;
static std::vector<std::string>::iterator resultsI;
};

std::vector<std::string> Mock::results;
std::vector<std::string>::iterator Mock::resultsI;

How can I validly get rid of this error without changing the interface to the function func? The implementer of this interface:
void (func*)(char **result)

forgot to use const char** in the signature. I can't change it.
Remember this is a mock and I'm only used in my unit tests.

A: Try:
*result = &(*resultsI++)[0];

Although this isn't guaranteed to work prior to C++11 it is known to be OK on most or all current compilers.
The danger is that if the function tries to change the length of the string, you could get some nasty errors. Changing individual characters should be OK.

A: In test code, and if you are certain that the user of the interface isn't going to mutate the char*, maybe you could use a const_cast?
That assumes the caller doesn't take ownership of the char *; if that is the case, then you should make a copy.

A: If you're absolutely certain that the interface function will not modify the string, you can use
*result = const_cast<char *>((resultsI++)->c_str());

to remove constness.
Otherwise, another option is to switch from using std::vector<std::string> to std::vector<std::vector<char>> but then you'll have to make sure you properly null terminate the strings.

Community groups across Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire are set to benefit from an extra £2,600 after professional firms in the region pitched in for charity.
Loveitts, a residential and commercial property company in the region, held a golf day at the Warwickshire Golf and Country Club in aid of the Heart of England Community Foundation.
The foundation raises money in a range of ways before distributing it to groups throughout the region in order to help them have a positive impact on their local communities.
Fourteen teams representing the financial, property and legal sector took part with Lloyds Bank taking the overall crown. Penmans Solicitors was runners-up while Loveitts finished in a creditable third.
On the individual front, Zoe Walsh of Baldwins Accountants picked up the best ladies score while Patrick Murtagh of Cranfield was the top man.
Paul Belfield, of Handelsbanken and also the chair of the trustees of the Heart of England Community Foundation, picked up nearest the pin and John Rimmer capped a good day for Baldwins with the straightest drive.
Paul Barnes and Chris Edsall both Associate directors of Loveitts, and who had organised the event were delighted with the amount raised for the Heart of England Community Foundation.
Paul Barnes said: "It was a fantastic day. The sun was out, the golf was good and we raised a really good amount for a brilliant charity.
Tina Costello, director of the Heart of England Community Foundation, said: "There was a really good level of competition and, even though it's for a good cause, you know every team still wants to do well and win!

Q: Timeout waiting for connection from pool for S3 upload I am trying to upload huge no of file from 7 machines.
In each machines i am running 6 threads to upload into S3 .
When i ran upload from one machine it worked fine but when i ran in 7 machines it started failing .
I am getting below error in rest of the machines .

ERROR - AmazonClientException com.amazonaws.SdkClientException: Unable to execute HTTP request: Timeout waiting for connection from pool

Total no of small files i am uploading to S3   = 1659328
No of records in each thread = 276554
So do i have to close TransferManager? If yes then how should i close it? My application Multithreaded. When i call tm.shutdownNow(); then other threads will not be able to use it.
Here is my code to upload into S3.
AWSCredentials credential = new ProfileCredentialsProvider("skjfffkjg-Prod-ServiceUser").getCredentials();
        AmazonS3Client s3Client = (AmazonS3Client) AmazonS3ClientBuilder.standard().withRegion("us-east-1")
                .withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(credential)).withForceGlobalBucketAccessEnabled(true)
                .build();

        s3Client.getClientConfiguration().setMaxConnections(100);

Uploading to S3 method
public void uploadToToS3() {
        _logger.info("Number of record to be processed in current thread: : " + records.size());

        TransferManager tm = new TransferManager(s3Client);

        MultipleFileUpload upload = tm.uploadFileList(bucketName, "", new File(fileLocation), records);

        if (upload.isDone() == false) {
            System.out.println("Transfer: " + upload.getDescription());
            System.out.println("  - State: " + upload.getState());
            System.out.println("  - Progress: " + upload.getProgress().getBytesTransferred());
        }
        try {
            upload.waitForCompletion();
        } catch (AmazonServiceException e1) {
            _logger.error("AmazonServiceException " + e1.toString());
        } catch (AmazonClientException e1) {
            _logger.error("AmazonClientException " + e1.toString());
        } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
            _logger.error("InterruptedException " + e1.toString());
        }
        System.out.println("Is Upload completed Successfully ="+upload.isDone());

        for (File file : records) {
            try {
                Files.delete(FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(file.getAbsolutePath()));
            } catch (IOException e) {
                _logger.error("IOException in file delete: " + e.toString());
                System.exit(1);
                _logger.error("IOException: " + e.toString());
            }
        }

        _logger.info("Calling Transfer manager shutdown");
        // tm.shutdownNow();
    }

Do i have to close anything in order to smooth upload?

A: when you posses the S3 Object, you are required to abort and close it - as you abort an opened connection or close a file reader, etc.
Therefore, you need to make sure that your object requests are closed properly.
BTW, increase in the number of max connections will probably not be an optimal solution for this.
There's an AWS API that allows aborting S3 operations. I believe that you need to add 'finally' block in order to control the uploading during exceptions.
Here's a snippet to what I would use:
public void uploadToToS3() {
        _logger.info("Number of record to be processed in current thread: : " + records.size());
    TransferManager tm = new TransferManager(s3Client);

    MultipleFileUpload upload = tm.uploadFileList(bucketName, "", new File(fileLocation), records);

    if (upload.isDone() == false) {
        System.out.println("Transfer: " + upload.getDescription());
        System.out.println("  - State: " + upload.getState());
        System.out.println("  - Progress: " + upload.getProgress().getBytesTransferred());
    }
    try {
        upload.waitForCompletion();
    } catch (AmazonServiceException e1) {
        _logger.error("AmazonServiceException " + e1.toString());
    } catch (AmazonClientException e1) {
        _logger.error("AmazonClientException " + e1.toString());
    } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
        _logger.error("InterruptedException " + e1.toString());
    }

    // ************ THIS IS THE MODIFICATION ************
    finally {
        upload.getSubTransfers().forEach(s -> s.abort());
    }
    // ***************************************************

    System.out.println("Is Upload completed Successfully ="+upload.isDone());
    for (File file : records) {
        try {
            Files.delete(FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(file.getAbsolutePath()));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            _logger.error("IOException in file delete: " + e.toString());
            System.exit(1);
            _logger.error("IOException: " + e.toString());
        }
    }

    _logger.info("Calling Transfer manager shutdown");
    // tm.shutdownNow();

Justin Timberlake mourns the death of singer Nicole Hurst
The Houston-based singer worked with artists like Janet Jackson, Bruno Mars, and Alicia Keys
Aisha Powell |
Nicole Hurst, the longtime background vocalist for Justin Timberlake, has died at the age of 39, according to People.
Timberlake, who affectionately called Hurst his "sister," penned a heartfelt message on Instagram Friday to mourn the loss.
"My heart is so heavy," he wrote. "We lost a beautiful soul this week. Nicole lit up every room she walked into. On and off the stage she was a constant source of joy and positivity."
Hurst, who was a Houston native, also worked with stars like Janet Jackson and Kelly Clarkson and performed at several awards shows like the Grammys, Academy Awards and the Super Bowl.
The singer opened up about her battle with breast cancer which started in 2013. The official cause of her death is still unknown.

Timberlake said that Hurst was a light in his life and he was happy to have experienced someone like her.
"Some things feel so unfair and we will never understand why they happen," he said. "What I do know is that we were blessed to laugh with her, to travel with her, and to experience her infectious smile and love for a life filled with music."

Hurst was no stranger to music or the spotlight as she performed at some of the biggest venues, including the White House, throughout her musical career. In addition to working with Timberlake, Jackson and Clarkson, she also performed with artists like Bruno Mars and Alicia Keys.
It was right before the start of the Legends of the Stadium tour with Timberlake and Jay Z, in fact, that she was diagnosed with Stage 2 triple positive breast cancer.
"I thought one of my first thoughts was, am I going to die," she said in an interview from 2015. "I had four months of chemo followed by my surgery which I had a mastectomy."
During this time she thought the treatment wasn't working as the cancer doubled in size. But two years later, she was in remission before her cancer eventually returned.
Ananda Lewis diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer, urges others to get mammograms
Hurst opened up about her journey with cancer in an Instagram post from August 2019, when the cancer returned but to her brain.
"If you can't tell by now, I'm kind of a private person," she started the post with. "And I've been wanting to say something for months now, but could never find the right words. These pictures aren't throwbacks from 2014, but from this year, literally from the 2nd day in January when my world was once again completely flipped upside down. What was discovered was not a cancer recurrence, but breast cancer that somehow found it's way to my brain, forcing me to pull the emergency brake on my life and sent me immediately into whole brain radiation treatment to destroy everything that was trying to destroy me."
In the post, she told her fans that her battle isn't over but reassured them she that "I'm [she] fighting this thang with everything in me."

In addition to Timberlake, legendary producer Bryan-Michael Cox also shared some photos of Hurst.
"I still don't have the words," he wrote as the caption to the post. " Once they come, then I'll do a proper tribute but right now I got nothing man. Rest well my friend. I hope you knew how loved you were, @nicolerhurst."

Elon Musk will Resign from Twitter – Will Dogecoin Die?
by OnlyCryptoReviews | Dec 22, 2022 | Bitcoin News
The Dogecoin (DOGE) price has performed well in recent months despite the difficult market situation. This was partly due to the takeover of the Twitter platform by the well-known US billionaire. But now Musk could resign as CEO of the company after just a few weeks. Will Dogecoin die as a result?
How did Dogecoin Perform in the last few weeks?
The Dogecoin course has seen an increase in the last few weeks, but later also a very changeable course. At the end of October, the Altcoin rally at the time started a massive rise in the DOGE price, with the meme coin more than doubling in value. Large parts of the rise were subsequently lost again with the FTX crash.
At the end of November, the Dogecoin price was also able to rise again. But in the last few weeks, we have seen consolidation again. Overall, the Dogecoin price has risen by a third since the end of October.
Why was Dogecoin able to outperform many of the other coins?
Dogecoin has made a plus in the last 3 months. It is one of the few coins among the top cryptocurrencies. On the one hand, this was due to the fact that the altcoin rally had brought high profits for the DOGE, which were not completely wiped out by the FTX crash.
Furthermore, Dogecoin has probably benefited the most from the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk. Musk is considered a fan of Dogecoin. In this mixed situation, the Dogecoin price was able to rise slightly overall in the last few weeks despite the bear market and even came in 8th place among the cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
Will Elon Musk step down as CEO of Twitter?
Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter has sparked much controversy. But the crypto space is generally positive about the Musk takeover. The owner of Tesla and SpaceX has unbanned many accounts from Twitter and has spoken out against censorship on the platform. Many users report a better user experience on Twitter since Musk acquired the company.
Now, however, Musk has surprisingly started a poll as to whether he should step down as head of Twitter. More than 57% of the participating users voted yes.
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8″>
A controversy with journalists arose before the poll. They had shared links on Twitter, on whose pages you could theoretically track the location of Elon Musk's private jet live. Numerous accounts of journalists were therefore blocked.
We must note, however, that Musk may have already made his decision prior to this poll and likely already has a successor in mind. It was clear to him that he wanted to give up the executive position on Twitter quickly.
Will Dogecoin Die after Elon Musk resigns?
The Dogecoin price had risen, among other things, because of the hope of investors that Musk could use Twitter to push the DOGE and the associated, well-known memes more. A resignation as CEO could ensure that the Dogecoin price collapses again in the next few days and weeks.
A complete implosion of Dogecoin seems unlikely. As the full owner of the company, Musk still has tremendous influence over the platform and an account with millions of followers. If Elon wants to push Dogecoin, he can continue to do so very easily.
Is it worth investing in the DOGE now?
The Dogecoin course could collapse again in the short term. But in the long term, we tend to see an upward trend. Should the market become bullish again, we could see the well-known meme coin rallies from the Dogecoin course at any time and more often.
Nevertheless, Dogecoin is of course a very risky asset and you should not be careless with an investment in the DOGE.

Waiting in the Arrivals Lounge, they stand, they gaze toward the gate area. A woman in bright white shoes tugs at the hem of her shirt in the wait, adjusts her purse on her shoulder, tugs her shirt. Another woman in flip-flops stands, rests one knee on a seat nearby and loses her sandal. She hunts for it, puts it back on, starts to bend her knee onto the seat again, stops herself only as her shoe slides off once more. It's a group of fidgeting folks, happily impatient, wearing smiles so as to be fully prepared.
A gray-haired cowboy arrives with a bouquet of flowers and his keys hanging on his hip. He sits next to me and nods, then locks his eyes toward the gates. He shifts from side to side, he glances into the flowers and takes a long, steadying breath.
White Shoes meets her adult son, fresh from a flight. She nearly cries as she holds him, a grown man with a backpack, tugging at his t-shirt like his mother. Cowboy and I both grin, first to ourselves, then vaguely toward each other. My friend exits and heads my way, she and I greet each other with big smiles and move toward the parking lot. I nod to the Cowboy once more, noticing he seems young and nervous just now. He rubs his gray beard, adjusts his hat, and nods right back.
(Though we weren't in trucks, this Cowboy also reminded me of the Farm Finger.

🙂 Thanks so much, ME. I like these notes of greeting. I find it is less frequent when I travel around in Europe, but I am a creature of friendliness, so I nod, smile, or hello nonetheless.
Jeff, If you're a Nebraskan, you definitely know that wave. 🙂 I was there for 7 years and now I miss that acknowledgement from fellow motorists!

The concentration of both reactants and products do not change.
A reaction has reached equilibrium when the concentration of reactants and products no longer changes. Reactions are still occurring, but the rate at which reactants become products is equal to the rate at which products become reactants. For example in the reaction , equilibrium has been reached when the rate at which A-->B is equal to the rate at which B-->A, and the concentrations of A and B don't change.
In addition to this, a system reaches equilibrium when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.
When a reaction reaches equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions continue to proceed while the concentrations of reactants and products do not change.

Level crossing
Having a problem making your model railway layout look real. Post questions and share the results of your model railway scenery here.
Postby villan » Sun Jan 17, 2010 4:15 pm
I need to put in a level crossing that will go across two lines on a curve. My laylout is on a loop and I must have a way for vehicluar access to the centre. I've tried a bridge but there isn't sufficient room with everything else on the layout to have a decent slope from the bridge.
The level crossing kits I've found do not have big enough gates to meet in the middle when they are across the tracks and if they don't meet I think it will look a little silly.
Does anyone know of a kit that will suit or any plans/designs to scratch build one?
Life is good; live it to the full

Have you looked at the peco ST-266 Curved level crossing?
Although this is curved it doesn't look like the gates would meet when over the track if it where used with more than one curve.

Postby stuartp » Sun Jan 17, 2010 6:13 pm
Provided the gate covers the full width of the road when closed to road traffic, it doesn't necessarily need to completely fence off the railway when open to road traffic. It looks odd but it's prototypical.
If you really can't live with it you could always turn it into an AHB, Peco do the barriers.
Portwilliam - Southwest Scotland in the 1960s, in OO - http://stuart1968.wordpress.com/
The only OO one I could find where the gates looked like they meet is the old Triang R414 curved level crossing.

Is does look odd must admit.
Can't use a AHB because I think it would be too modern. Although my layout is not specific to one age or environment I am aiming around the early 60's.

Hmm, fair enough. In that case there's another option, depending on what your vehicular access leads to. If it's a private road leading to, for example, a factory, isolated group of houses, goods yard etc, then it wouldn't have a public level crossing, it would have an occupation crossing instead. No controls or associated signalling, the gates would generally be 9' wide and open outwards away from the railway. Use is restricted to the occupiers of the property (hence 'occupation' crossing) and those having legitimate reasons to visit them - postman, bin wagon, visitors etc. Users are entirely responsible for opening the gates and looking both ways, and for closing the gates afterwards on pain of a 40 shilling fine for not so doing. The reason the gates open outwards is so that they don't obstruct the line if left open. Ratio do a kit including (I think) some pedestrian wicket gates and warning signs.
If, on the other hand, you've got shops or a pub etc in there then that suggests a public highway and you're back to gates closed across the railway.

It will go to shops, houses etc. but thanks for the help. I think I will go with the gates opening across the track but not meeting. All I need now is a picture of some to work from and to decide whether to include a gate keepers house/cottage/hut .

Norway's Symbollic Gesture Will Cut an Island in Two
By: Jonathan Keane | March 16th, 2014
Norway will remember the tragic events of the July 2011 Utøya Island shootings with an ambitious architectural feat that will see a section of the island cut out, creating a passage through the land itself. The project has been designed by art studio KORO and Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg, which he calls a "memory wound", acting as a metaphor for the loss of that day.
The woodland terrain will be bore through with an 11-foot wide gap that will allow small vessels to pass through. The walls inside the gap will be etched with the names of those lost on the island. Visitors to the island will be led to the cut by a new path where they can pay their respects.
Norway's government is also planning a second memorial in Oslo's city center to mark the lives lost in the second of Anders Breivik's attacks.

TIP! A good way to advertise your business is through Twitter. When used correctly, Twitter is a great way to engage hundreds, or even thousands, of potential customers into reading your news updates and press releases.
You may think social media marketing is new, but it's not. However, just now it is being seen as an incredible way to promote a business and for people to gain new customers. There will always be quicker and better ways to spread your company's message through online media, but some of the basic approaches should remain constant.
TIP! Be very careful before you employ the services of marketing companies who specialize in social media. For starters, their black hat techniques are often seen as spam and will degrade your reputation.
Do not begin marketing on social networking sites until you come up with a plan. Identify who specifically will maintain and care for the page, the kind of layouts you prefer and just how many hours you are willing to invest in this project. You should treat this like other marketing plans and set a timeline for reaching your goals. Don't stray from the plan if you can avoid it, and your campaign will be a success.
TIP! Invite your friends, family and co-workers to your page to get your name out there. Some of these people may not be interested in your business right now.
Really look at what a successful social media marketing strategy will require. If you put too much time and money into trends, then your long-term marketing success will be limited by the duration of each trend. Create a long-term strategy that takes your overall business goals into account and implement it with confidence.
Make your site more social media-friendly with comments, ratings and favorite lists. Adding these social media functions to your site lets users decide the most popular content, and it gives them a voice and also makes them an active participant.
TIP! You should always respond to any comments or questions posted on your sites. Make it a regular part of your daily routine to look at your inbox and check notification messages.
Don't just try to sell product on your social media feeds. Include testimonials, relevant articles and links to content your followers will find useful. Hold giveaways, share photos, and ask your followers for feedback. Interact with those whom you follow. Recognize the value of engaging with a product rather than placing it as an advertisement. People should be able to identify with your brand and consider it as a part of their daily lives.
Consider writing a guest blog or allowing a popular blogger in your niche market to guest blog on your site. This can help you generate extra traffic. When you post on someone else's blog, make sure you include a back link to your site. When you have guest bloggers, provide them the same courtesy. The followers of the guest blogger will probably read this post and check out your site.
TIP! Consider the benefits of giveaway promotions through social media. Offering a freebie will increase your exposure, as people are happy to send their friends to a page to get something for free.
When marketing with social media, don't be afraid to be original. Emphasizing what makes you stand apart will help distinguish you from your competitors. By using the tips you have read here, you will improve your chances of success. Social media makes it easy to reach a global audience.

48% of the power consumed in Anhui generated by the new energy
Michael Liang • 2020-06-05 22:25 • New energy • 151 views
On February 17, the wind and photovoltaic power generation exceeded 8 million kilowatts for the first time in Anhui Province, which reached 8.15 million kilowatts, taking up 48% of the province's electricity consumption.
Since the Spring Festival this year, affected by the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, the power load in Anhui has been hovering at a low level, about 16 million kilowatts, which is only half of the load level of about 30 million kilowatts in the same period last year.
The State Grid Anhui Electric Power Co., Ltd. thus took various measures to ensure the power consumption generated by the new energy. As of now, the installed capacity of new energy in Anhui is 15.69 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 14%, with a maximum output of 8.15 million kilowatts, a 30% increase compared to last year.

3 Ways to Establish Personal Injury Claims
When You Should Find a Personal Injury Attorney
3 Types of Damage Related to Negligent Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury cases arise from many circumstances including auto accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability, and wrongful death. While these cases are exceedingly common, personal injury claims require a number of elements to be proven. For example, to establish liability in a negligence case, a personal injury attorney must prove that a duty was owed and that the duty was negligently breached.
There's no easy way to become a personal injury expert, but here are three terms to understand when thinking about personal injury damages:
Causation has two elements: cause-in-fact and proximate cause.
Cause-in-fact is the easier of the two to understand. Cause-in-fact merely means that the negligence falls within the chain of events that resulted in the injury. The legal test for cause-in-fact is usually called the "but for" test. This is established if the injury would not have happened but for the negligent act. One example of cause-in-fact would be a driver who is texting and swerves into your lane, causing you to swerve and roll over. Even if the distracted driver's vehicle did not strike your vehicle, the distracted driver's actions were the cause-in-fact of your accident and any resulting injuries. Conversely, cause-in-fact might not be established if you happened upon the same accident after it had already occurred and you struck a highway barrier while rubbernecking. In this case, the distracted driver who caused the original accident is likely blameless for the later accident.
Proximate cause is a little trickier. It questions whether the damage is related to the negligent actions and if the negligent party should be held legally responsible. The legal test for proximate cause is usually called the "foreseeability" test in which proximate cause is established if the damage was a foreseeable result of the negligence. For example, proximate cause may be established when a shopper slips and falls on snow and ice that was not cleared away by a knowing store owner. In this example, a slip and fall injury is a foreseeable result of the shop owner's negligence.
Damages are divided into two categories: compensatory and exemplary. Compensatory damages are intended to make the injured party whole by reimbursing any expenses or losses resulting from the negligent act. Compensatory damages can arise from a variety of sources, including :
Medical expenses for injuries resulting from the negligence. For example, a driver who suffered chest and face injuries as a result of the seat belt and airbag deploying in an auto accident might claim any medical treatment expenses as damages in a case against the other driver.
Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, or other emotional distress can be thought of as another form of medical expense. Although these are psychological injuries and not as easily measured as physical injuries, these can also be claimed as damages. Typically these symptoms and their associated treatment costs are documented by a doctor or therapist so there is no question about their legitimacy.
Lost wages may also be included in damages if they arose as a result of the negligence. Losing a job, missing work, or experiencing a reduction in hours because of physical or psychological injuries may be claimed as damages.
Property damage arising from the negligence of another may be eligible for compensation. The most common example of property damage would be the cost of repairing or replacing a vehicle that was damaged in an auto accident.
Punitive damages and attorney's fees are examples of exemplary damages. Exemplary damages are usually only awarded in extraordinary cases to punish the negligent party. For example, if a party was on notice of a dangerous condition and had been previously sued over the dangerous condition, but had not remedied the condition, the party might be liable for exemplary damages.
Damages can be a complicated issue in a personal injury case and should be discussed with a Boise personal injury attorney. When you're ready to get the compensation you deserve, rely on Rossman Law today.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with governing law or if any provision is held to be null, void or otherwise ineffective or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law, and (b) the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Agreement includes any Order Documents agreed to by the parties in writing and all expressly referenced documents. Collectively the foregoing constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or communications, including, without limitation, any quotations or proposals submitted by SKYESTREAM. The terms on any purchase order or similar document submitted by Customer to SKYESTREAM will have no effect and are hereby rejected. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all legal notices, consents and approvals under this Agreement must be delivered in writing by courier, by facsimile, or by certified or registered mail, (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the other party at its official headquarters to the attention of the chief legal officer and are deemed delivered when received.

Hrísey island - 4 hikes
Hrísey is about 11,5 square kilometres. The island is about 7 km long and 2,5 km at its widest. Its highest point is by the lighthouse on the north end, or about 110 meters above sea level.
Much of the islands east coast is steep with high cliffs and spectacular cliff formations and skerries, while the west and south shore go more softly towards the ocean offering easy access to beaches and the shoreline. Close to the village are some nice sand beaches fun for playing and sea bathing. The beaches change according to seasons and weather.
The access to the islands north part is limited as it is privately owned and an Eider duck protection area. The north part is separated by a fence across the island, with a gate on the road leading to the lighthouse. This part can be visited through organized tours with the local Tourism association (phone 695 0077) and through permission by the land-owners. The most restricted and sensitive time is the nesting period from mid-April to mid-July.
Access to the south part of the island (where the harbor and village is) is good all year and welcome to all!
Guest are though asked to be aware and respect the bird life, especially during the nesting period ( May til mid-July) and keep dogs in leash.
This part of the island has four hiking trails:
1. Green trail (marked with poles)
Distance: 4.1 km (round trip)
Duration: 1+ hours.
Terrain: Asphalt on roads in the village, gravel and mud trails
Start/End point: Ferry harbour
Parking: Árskógssandur – ferry harbour
Interesting sights: Village, Háborðið viewpoint, art Yggldrasil, Energy well
Popular circle to walk that passes many interesting places in Hrísey. Starting from the ferry harbour in Hrísey along the street Sjávargata up to street Norðurvegur in the heart of village where one finds the church, museums and the local store.
Head north along Norðurvegur through the rich angelica fields and turn right towards the wooden racks used for drying fish and follow the trail up to the viewpoint called Háborðið with picknick-table. Continue to right and down a small hill down to a flat area with the art peace Yggldrasil (inspired by the Old Norse mythology) which is an immense mythical tree that plays a central role in Norse cosmology, where it connects the Nine Worlds.
The art piece was inaugurated in 1998 by the American artist David Hebb who got a Fulbright grant to create an art piece in Hrísey which should connect the old Norse mythology with modern industry in some context. The art piece is four meters in diameter and 3 meters high.
Further along the trail southwards through the energy well with plenty of benches for tired hikers thirsting for an energy-update. Continue through the sheltered forestry area and a small pond before returning to the southend of the main road Norðurvegur which leads back to the village.

A scenic hike up on the island and along the rocky east coast. During the hike one passes through the village, rich angelica fields and by the wooden racks used for drying fish. The walk goes through rich heathland, down to the rocky east coast where one can enjoy view of cliff formations and skerries and when lucky even spot whales close to the shore.
Along the trail one passes remains of a very old farm from the times of settlements Hvatastaðir and peat harvest fields.
On the trail where green and red merge one finds the art peace Yggldrasil (inspired by the Old Norse mythology) which is an immense mythical tree that plays a central role in Norse cosmology, where it connects the Nine Worlds.
Further along the trail southwards through the energy well with plenty of benches for tired hikers thirsting for an energy-update. Continue through the sheltered forestry area and a small pond before returning to the south end of the main road Norðurvegur which leads back to the village.

A nice hike passing through the village, rich angelica fields and by the wooden racks used for drying fish. The walk goes through rich heathland, down to the rocky east coast where one can enjoy view of cliff formations and skerries and when lucky even spot whales close to the shore.
Along the trail one passes remains of a very old farm Hvatastaðir from the times of settlements from where the trail leaves the coast and up on the island again towards the viewpoint called Háborðið with picknick-table and a lavatory.
Continue to right and down a small hill down to a flat area with the art peace Yggldrasil (inspired by the Old Norse mythology) which is an immense mythical tree that plays a central role in Norse cosmology, where it connects the Nine Worlds.
4) Blue trail
Distance: 4 km (roundtrip)
Duration: 1+ hour
Interesting sights: Village, birdpond and birdwatchinghut, airport, graveyard and beach/coastline.
Many sights on the islands west coast differ from the rest. The hike starts by the harbour, walk along Sjávargata and up to the middle of the village by the church. From there head north along the Norðurvegur.
cross the angelica fields and by the sign for the bird watching house make a small detour to the pond and the house.
When back to Norðurveg continue a small distance more to the north and turn left along a mud/grassy track towards and across the island gravel airstrip. In the distance you can notice a small bus shelter functioning as the airport. Well down on the road Lambhagavegur turn towards the village (to the south) until the crossroad leading down to the graveyard. Here you have a great view to the village and the fjords west coast with the village Dalvík in sight.
There are two options for continuing from here, back to Lambhagavegur and towards the village or down to the coast and along it pass the pond which during summer is a popular spot or all kinds of birds - and from there return to the Lambhagavegur.
After continuing along Lambhagavegur for some minutes one can see a track going down to one of the islands sandy beaches a nice place to pay a visit before entering the village along the Ægisgata and down to the small boat harbour, pass the small houses by the coast and return back to the ferry harbour where we end the hike.

Just two days after a Florida judge revoked George Zimmerman's bond over (possibly) misleading statements regarding his finances, the man charged in the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is back in the state and ready to turn himself over to the authorities later today. According to the AP, Zimmerman's lawyers hope his voluntary surrender proves he is not a flight risk when they ask for another bail hearing. Of course, there's a good chance the judge has read the part of the press release that mentions Zimmerman fled Central Florida for the past several weeks.
