Minor Workplace accidents can leave a big impact on your business. Between the paper works, medical bills, productivity, all the workers' compensation paperwork, and the low morale the costs are high. Preventive measures are the best way to avoid an injury. Re-invent your workspace with some of the following tips and protect your workforce.
Effective prevention program can be an environmental-work solution and a foundation for safe work. A plan needs to cover all levels of employee safety and health with the encouragement to report hazardous practices and sometimes behavior. The wellness plan for your employees will have a positive impact on a relationship among the people.
Some types of accidents are caused by inexperience and the inability to physically perform the position required. Screening applicant can help you determine your location matching physical capabilities that are needed.
Continually representation of a safety standard among employees and management can help them slowly process workplace safety on another level. Train employees about the importance of following safety measures as often as possible. Some extra workout can help body mechanics to reduce strain injuries, and keep employees safe during lifting and moving (if the job requires physical work)!
Every niche is different. Every company is unique. There are no universal safety features for all the businesses out there. Pay extra attention to common accidents and try to develop strategies to keep these setbacks from happening.
Personal protection equipment is very important; it should be present at hiring and meetings. With little extra monitoring, you can make this work. Take time and teach your employees how to properly manage goggles, face protection, hats, gloves, earplugs and safety shoes.
More often, overtime hours are always out there, because of low staffing levels. Overworking is a double-edged sword and employees may suffer from exhaustion and cut corners to meet or exceed output. Hiring seasonal staff or part-time staff could help prevent accidents due to exhaustion.
An accident can happen to anyone occasionally. The employee can skip steps to complete a job ahead of schedule. Make sure all instructions are clear and organized to prevent undue mishaps in the workplace.
60 billion dollars per year is the sum that employers collectively pay per year according to the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Maintenance should include monthly inspections and repairing vehicles as soon as possible.
After initial training, try to reinforce safety measures when the opportunity arrives. Staff meetings, educational seminars, supervision, etc. Reward employees who abide by setting standards as a good example.
Poor housekeeping can cause serious health issues and safety hazard. Hygiene prevention is always required. The layout of the workplace should have adequate footpath markings, be free of debris, and stations for cleaning up spills.
The state of Arizona requires auto insurance coverage as any other state when you're directly operating a vehicle within the state. Arizona requires all of its drivers maintain minimum insurance requirements.
If you got your insurance, your company would usually notify the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD), but it is still your responsibility to make your insurance valid when you are asked. The state of Arizona is specific. Arizona follows a tort legal system for insurance. In a tort system, someone must always be found at fault after an accident. A person that has insurance is then required to pay for damages incurred by the accident they caused.
Minimum Arizona Car Insurance Requirements are per bodily Injury Liability ($15,000 / $30,000 Limit) and Property Damage Liability ($10,000 Limit).
These type of insurances covers the paying expenses resulting from an accident where a person does not have enough coverage to pay for the damages that person caused.
De Insurance is possible on an occasion where you temporarily uninsured their vehicle f your vehicle will not be or cannot be driven on public roads. Required Documentation as proof of insurance, you can provide Insurance ID card, Copy of Insurance Policy or Certificate of self-insurance. Also, it's your responsibility on occasions when your insurance is asked as proof by a police officer or after an accident.
Police officers can ask you for proof any time you are operating a vehicle!
Crucial information is also that you don't speak to Insurance Adjuster until you hire an Arizona Lawyer!
Workers compensation requirements began early in the 20th in the United States. Every business in the United States that involves employee has to consider a workers compensation policy. Most states require employers to purchase an insurance policy to handle their obligation towards workers who are injured or due to workplace exposure.
Before the policy and insurance, workers who'd been injured or made ill on the job had to take legal action against their employers. Results were horrible since system simultaneously made it difficult for workers to obtain compensation for such injuries and exposure of employers to potentially devastating financial penalties.
Workers compensation is an insurance program set up to provide workers who were injured on the job benefits to make up for lost wages while they're out taking care of their injury.
This might look like an annoying business expense. But offering workers compensation can protect you from litigation if an employee becomes injured or sick as a result of the job. Every state but Texas requires companies to carry workers compensation insurance- either through a private insurer or the state or, the business can elect to be self-insured. The cost for workers compensation insurance depends on the industry and the provider(high-risk jobs like construction and roofing have premiums). The company's premiums can either increase or decrease depending on the number of claims filed.
Offering safety gear, accessing the safety of the work environment, providing friendly office equipment, creating a safe work environment by training all employees on workplace safety, offering updates and tips on workplace safety, getting injured employees back to work faster, Developing wellness program to encourage healthy living and fitness, which should reduce the number of employees injured on the job.
Once the worker's compensation has been paid, it's over with the employer responsibilities. Staying in close contact with your employee, during the recovery phase, as a business owner you can better gauge when the employee can go back to work. Only larger business are required to carry workers compensation insurance. Not True. In many states, a company needs to have one employee to meet the requirement for workers compensation.
Type of business can also be determining factor. In Missouri, the law states that the minimum of five employees is required for minimum coverage, but if that company is in the construction industry, the minimum is one employee. Compensation fraud is not that common. Studies have shown that only 1 to 2 percent of claims are fraudulent. Insurance companies often fuel media claims.
The national price tag is around $1.2 billion annually for Compensation Insurance.

Thousands of East Midlands patients put at risk after NHS contractor blunder
Published: 13:37 Tuesday 27 June 2017
Thousands of patient records from the East Midlands have been left to pile up in a warehouse by a NHS contractor.
Across the UK, 1,700 patients have so far been identified in the 700,000 notes found - with the possibly that many more could come to light.
The company responsible for the error - NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) - was employed in the East Midlands, South West and north-east London to redirect mail for the health service.
However, between 2011 and 2016 a backlog of 709,000 pieces of correspondence - including cancer test results and child protection notes - piled up in their warehouse.
A spokeswoman for NHS SBS admitted to the BBC that there had been 'failings'.
She added: "We regret this situation and have co-operated fully with the National Audit Office in its investigation."
The issue first came to light in February after it was reported by the Guardian newspaper.
Investigations overseen by NHS England are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The relationship between international evidence, politics and policy is never straightforward. Politicians sometimes cite comparative findings from social science evidence collected and analysed by international organisations to support policy proposals without sufficient understanding of contextual factors. The media may exploit data from such studies to highlight national policy successes and failures. Academic literature on evidence-based policy is often more interested in identifying policies that work than in investigating the reasons why policy solutions might, or might not, be effective if transferred to other regions. This article explores some of the issues involved by examining the relationship between evidence producers and users in different institutional settings, drawing on case studies in health and social policy to illuminate the complexities of the policy process. In considering possible conditions for successful policy learning across time and space, the authors stress the critical need to take account of socioeconomic, political, cultural and disciplinary contexts.

The banksters
By Ryan April 10, 2010
If you read that Matt Taibbi article I linked the other day, you won't be surprised that Goldman Sachs and their cronies also do that kind of thing to whole countries:
In early February, Der Spiegel (a German magazine) broke the story that Greece has been hiding the extent of its debt for years with the aid of U.S. investment banks. In 2001, Goldman was paid $300 million to structure a complex derivative deal that allowed Greece to borrow billions while hiding the true extent of its debt. Without this creative assist, Greece may not have been accepted into the common currency "Eurozone."
Because the deal was structured as a currency swap (a type of derivative) and not as a loan, it was secret, bilateral and off-book. Goldman may have been the only party that knew about it, leading many to speculate how it may have profited from the knowledge.
Last week, the other shoe dropped. The New York Times reported that a company backed by Goldman, JP Morgan Chase and other big banks had set up an index in London that allows investors to gamble on the likelihood of a Greek default. As banks and other players rush into these trades, called credit default swaps, they make the cost of insuring Greek debt rise, making it harder for the country to borrow and bringing it closer to the brink.
Sound familiar? In 2002 the same firm created a similar index that allowed investors to bet on the likelihood of defaults in the subprime bond market. The "savvy" investors at Goldman made a fortune off the collapse of the market. It's a sure bet that they will do so again if Greece goes down.
I think this sort of behavior should be taken as a given when devising some kind of regulatory framework. These chumps have no shame whatsoever.

I was hoping that I would like this one because it got such high praise and seems to be a classic amongst its own cult following. But sadly, it didn't do it for me. Too much going on at once and too many unbelievable things that occur to this one man during his lifetime. Also, the majority of the main character's life was during a time period that I'm not really a fan of. The sixties and the seventies weren't part of an era that I really cared for so reading about those time periods really weren't my cup o' tea. The main character, Forrest was also someone that I wasn't really fond of. He was okay overall but not the best character for me to relate to. And don't even get me started on the character of Jenny. What a very troubled woman. This one was a no from me.

Bedřich Grünzweig (3. dubna 1910, Praha – 2009, New York) byl americký fotograf českého původu.

Život a tvorba
Bedřich Grünzweig se narodil v Praze roku 1910 v rodině vojenského důstojníka Ludvika Grünzweiga. V roce 1912 se rodina přestěhovala do Brna, kde Ludvik Grünzweig pracoval jako vedoucí inženýr v Královopolské strojírně. Bedřich Grünzweig vystudoval v Brně střední školu a roku 1928 odešel studovat do Vídně ekonomii. V letech 1930–1932 studoval opět v Brně na technice. Poté dva roky sloužil v armádě a roku 1934 nastoupil jako vedoucí úředník v cukrovaru v Ratiboři. V roce 1939 odjel tajně se svou ženou Juditou do Spojených států. Jeho rodiče, bratr i babička však doma během války zahynuli v koncentračních táborech.

V New Yorku se Bedřich Grünzweig podílel na vybudování československé expozice na výstavě Expo. V expozici pak dále pracoval během trvání výstavy. Seznámil se zde s Alexandrem Hackenschmiedem, se kterým se spřátelil a který mu umožnil potkat se s dalšími uznávanými osobnostmi. V roce 1940 začal fotografovat New York. Nikdy se však nestal profesionálním fotografem. V letech 1941–1947 pracoval v New Yorku pro Československou informační kancelář a pak až do roku 1974 v OSN, kde se mimo jiné účastnil různých mírových operací a rozvojových programů v bývalých koloniích (např. v Kongu), během kterých rovněž fotografoval. Kromě reportážních snímků vytvořil také řadu dokumentárních portrétů známých osobností (např. Leonard Bernstein, Marcel Marceau, Ravi Shankar). V období let 1974–1994 poradcem ředitele International Center of Photography. Do Československa se poprvé vrátil na návštěvu až roku 1969, později pak znovu v letech 1972, 1983 a 1991. V roce 1998 připravila Jolana Havelková autorovi první (retrospektivní) výstavu v Česku s názvem Poutník s kamerou (Fotogalerie U Řečických v Praze).Výstavy se autor osobně v Praze účastnit nemohl (žil v New Yorku a v té době mu bylo 88 let), ale aktivně na ní spolupracoval s kurátorkou (stejně pak i na publikaci Mezi nebem a zemí).

Bedřich Grünzweig zemřel roku 2009 v New Yorku. Jeho fotografie jsou zastoupeny ve sbírkách různých muzeí a institucí, např. United Nations Photography Archives a New York Museum of Modem Art.

Sims 3 base game won't launch: 'Unknown Error Occurred'
by HannahLynn98
HannahLynn98
I'm trying to run the sims 3 on my Macbook Pro for the first time, but am running into the ever-so-popular 'Unknown Error Occurred' glitch. I got the base game to at least open up the launcher before I installed some expansion packs, but then received the error glitch after trying to run it with the EPs. So after following this video tutorial, I basically uninstalled everything and tried to reopen the launcher with just the base game after re-installing it. However, this time I can't even open the launcher and I receive the error glitch.
Here's my Mac's Specs;
Macbook Pro (15-inch, 2017)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Startup DIsk Macintosh HD
Graphics Radeon Pro 555 2 GB Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB
Re: Sims 3 base game won't launch: 'Unknown Error Occurred'

@HannahLynn98 The reason you're still getting the unknown error is that a regular install, either a straight deletion or the kind done through the uninstaller that comes with TS3, doesn't remove the game's hidden library files. You'll need to uninstall the base game again and then manually clean out those files. Here's how:
https://bluebellflora.com/how-to-do-a-clean-uninstall-and-reinstall-on-a-mac/
Then install the base game only, and run the Super Patch (digital download version) to manually patch the game to 1.67. The launcher doesn't do a good job of patching on its own.
https://bluebellflora.com/sims-3-manual-super-patch-for-mac-1-67/
If you still get an unknown error at this point, let me know. Otherwise, you can start installing your packs. There are four that don't install correctly (Ambitions, Late Night, Fast Lane, and Outdoor Living), and they need two workarounds, applied together, to fix the problem. The first is simple: create an alias for each pack that doesn't already have one in Applications, alongside the alias for the base game.
https://bluebellflora.com/sims-3-packs-not-showing-as-installed/
The second fix is to copy a folder for each of those affected packs into the folder for your newest pack by the date EA released it. (So that would be Into the Future if you have it, otherwise you can look up the release order.) This video shows you exactly what to do:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-3-Unknown-Error-in-El-Capitan-Sierra-High/...
If you have any questions or would like further explanations, please feel free to ask. It would be helpful to know which packs you're installing though, so I can describe the steps more specifically.
I don't work for EA. I'm just trying to help fellow players with their games.
@puzzlezaddict Thanks so much for the help!
I got the base game launcher to work, and then the High-end Loft Stuff Pack by following the "alias" steps in the third link you provided, but when I try to repeat the same steps for Supernatural, I keep getting the error.
I tried following the accepted solution provided here, but my "thumbnail" when I try to launch the game is Supernatural, which obviously already has the Supernatural folder in it, so I don't really know where I'm supposed to go from here.
@HannahLynn98 That's strange that Supernatural would be throwing the error; it isn't one of the packs that's affected. (And you shouldn't have to make an alias for either it or HELS; the install process is supposed to take care of that.) What other packs have you installed so far this time around? Have you uninstalled any since the clean uninstall?
Nope, I just downloaded them on Origin - no install yet aside from the two mentioned.
@HannahLynn98 Neither pack should need any workarounds; they're both supposed to install correctly. So it's strange that you're getting an unknown error again. Try restarting your computer and then launching TS3 directly from Applications, without opening Origin at all. If that doesn't help, try bypassing the launcher. Here's how:
https://bluebellflora.com/sims-3-how-to-bypass-the-launcher-on-a-mac/
If that doesn't help, do another clean uninstall, and then create a new user account (make it an admin) and install the game there instead. Again, install only the base game, then run the Super Patch, and test. If it works, you can install HELS and Supernatural and test again, without applying any workarounds.
@puzzlezaddict Got it to work with those two packs, but after installing pets, I'm getting the error again with the Supernatural thumbnail.
@HannahLynn98 This is still strange; it worked fine the last time I did a test reinstall. Granted, that's been a few months. Just to see, please try launching by double-clicking on the base game icon, and Pets if that doesn't work.
If you still get an unknown error, maybe none of the correct folders are copying over? You can look for them easily enough. Inside Applications\TS3, right-click on the Sims 3 base game icon and select Show Package Contents. From there, the path is:
Contents > Resources > AddOns > Supernatural [show package contents] > Contents > Resources > transgaming > c_drive > Program Files > Electronic Arts
Inside Electronic Arts, what folders do you see, and are they aliases or full folders? (If a folder has a little arrow in the lower left corner, it's an alias.) Since Supernatural is newer than Pets, there should be a Pets alias inside, created the first time you tried to launch the game (via the Supernatural icon) after installing it. Please list everything that's there. If there's nothing Pets-related, you can try copying over its folder into Supernatural, as in the unknown error video I linked. If there is an alias for Pets, right-cllick on it and select Move to Trash, then copy over the folder.
The other three folders were all alias' (base game, HeLS, & Pets). I deleted the alias Pets folder and copied over the full folder from Pets' 'Show Package Contents'. It's still giving me the error.
I apologize for this being messy.
@HannahLynn98 You're not being too messy, it's just strange to me that the game is being so stubborn, especially with packs that are supposed to be easier to handle. If all the folders are in place, and you have an icon for each pack in Applications, then I honestly don't know why the game isn't working. I take it bypassing the launcher didn't help? On machines without much RAM installed, the unknown error can be due to the launcher reaching for more memory than is available, but that shouldn't be the case for you.
The only other thing I can think of at the moment is installing a newer pack than Supernatural, to see if that helps. Maybe if a different pack is launching the game, whatever problem you're seeing now will no longer be in the picture.

UTS and Acer to track students eyes in education engagement study
Joseph Brookes/ April 10, 2019
Home > Insights > UTS and Acer to track students eyes in education engagement study
Joseph Brookes 2019-04-10
The University of Technology Sydney has begun a study to determine students' engagement with educational technology by monitoring their attention through eye, keyboard, and mouse tracking.
The tracking data will be used in a proof of concept model which ultimately displays behavioural analytics in a dashboard. Machine learning algorithms will then help make sense of the data.
UTS says by identifying content and areas where students struggle it is possible to better design future educational environments and personalised learning models, ultimately creating better outcomes for students.
The technology also has several monitoring applications. For instance, teachers could monitor student engagement in real time via a dashboard, which UTS says could help reduce distractions like phones. The university is also considering applications for monitoring online bullying.
The research is supported by corporate partners Acer and Intel. Acer said it is not looking to develop a product from the research and its support is an opportunity to give back to the education sector.
The study is currently being piloted on the UTS campus with 200 data science students in two classes agreeing to have their engagement monitored. Which-50 understands several other schools, including secondary schools, have agreed to participate in the study where monitoring will occur across a broad range of classes.
While researchers won't have access to the names of individual students, participating schools will. In secondary schools, parents will have to give permission for children to participate. At the tertiary level individual students can decide.
The monitoring software can run on several different operating systems and utilises the inbuilt webcam common in laptops. The webcam does not record faces, according to UTS researchers. Instead, it focuses on students' gaze movements, detecting when students' eyes move away from the screen and monitoring the total time spent looking at the screen.
The eye data is combined with keyboard and mouse use to determine overall engagement. Eventually, researchers plan to combine the student monitoring with data of the onscreen content and refine eye tracking to a point where it can detect exactly where on-screen attention is focused. There are also plans to include other sensors like pen and hand tracking in the future.

"The aim of the UTS x Acer Learner Attention Analytics Pilot Program is to create an education industry blueprint that can generate tailored personalised learning programs according to learners' behaviour patterns," said Professor Fang Chen, executive director of data science and distinguished professor (FEIT), UTS.
"Using learners' behaviour as a fundamental indicator of attention and analysing this with AI and machine learning technologies will enable the education sector to optimise the pace and learning materials for the needs of different learners."
Time for IT to give back: Acer
Acer Oceania managing director, Darren Simmons, insisted the hardware manufacturer is not interested in creating a product through the study and was motivated by creating better learning outcomes for students. Simmons said it was time technology companies gave back to loyal education customers.
"I think that it's time for us as an industry, that sells IT, to actually give back to a market that we sell the significant product to. And I think it's really important to get people who are innovating [like UTS] …"
Simmons said technology companies could help solve some of the social and educational challenges schools face.
"By no means am I looking for a product like an iPhone to sell to schools. I don't see it ever being that. I think it's going to be a journey. I think it's going to have a lot of discussions… and I think we are going to have a better learning outcome."

EFFA will soon open its doors for all fly fishers not only for fly casting instructors and in the future all fields of fly fishing will be covered. The fist step was easily visible when the visitors were lining up for subscribing for the River Folla Alert. The fly fishers were happy to see that a Eurpean fly fishing organisation now takes care about the environment on an international basis.
There were also two candidates trying to pass the EFFA instructor exam. At the end one of them, the Italian Michele Malagugini was happy to receive the EFFA certificate and patch. Flycasting demonstrations for single hand and double handed rods performed by Günter Feuerstein and translated by EFFA instructor Angelo Piller completed EFFAs representation at the show. It was a really great event and EFFA thanks all the visitors for the good communication.


Everybody says that they have the best recipe for enchiladas, and I think I've probably tried about 5 different recipes in the past year, but I do have to say that these ones that have gone viral all over pinterest, just might be the best chicken enchiladas! Derek and I both loved them! I really think that the part that makes these so delicious is the fact that you basically make the sauce from scratch instead of just buying a can from the store so you can really taste the wholesome ingredients and everything!

St. Louis Train Accident Attorney
If you were injured in a railroad accident, your first step after receiving medical attention should be to call a St. Louis train accident attorney from The Cagle Law Firm.

Missouri Train Accidents Cost Millions
Each year, train accidents cost Missouri taxpayers almost $10 million in damages. Jackson County, Clay County, and St. Louis City reported the most train accidents in 2018 with twelve, nine, and eight accidents, respectively. However, just two train accidents in Clark County resulted in over $2 million dollars worth of damages. Missouri train accidents are primarily caused by human error and track defects, which are preventable causes. This means if you are in a train accident, you may have a claim for personal injuries against multiple entities. If you've been injured in a Missouri train accident, contact the experienced train accident lawyers at The Cagle Law Firm today. Train accident claims are complicated and time sensitive, so don't delay taking advantage of your free, no-risk personal injury consultation by calling (314) 276-1681 or contacting us online.
The Risks of Train Travel
It's no secret that, next to air travel, trains and subways are among the safest methods of transportation in the United States. According to research out of Northwestern University, you're seventeen times more likely to be injured in a car accident than a train accident. You're even seven times more likely to be injured in a ferry accident than on a train. But rail travel in the United States isn't as safe as it could be.
It's reported that Amtrak passengers are fifty-eight times more likely to be injured in a train accident than high-speed train passengers in Western Europe. As many of these trains in Western Europe are high-speed rails, they are going substantially faster, covering more ground, operating more frequently, and transporting a higher percentage of passengers, this statistic is even more surprising. These numbers mean that safer ways of operating American trains are available but not being implemented in the United States. The presence of safer equipment and technological alternatives that could have reasonably prevented a train accident may help injured railroad passengers recover damages in a court of law.
Common Types of Train Accidents in the United States
Train accidents are caused by a number of factors. While derailments and vehicle-train collisions are the leading causes of train accident injuries in the United States, human error and track defects cause the majority of train accidents in Missouri. Accidents related to human error often involve intoxication, fatigue, and lack of training. Both federal and state laws regulate conductor hours of service, intoxication, and training, but human conduct is difficult to police. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, the following types of train accidents are the most commonly reported:
Track damage
Track defects
Signal malfunctions
Rail car decoupling
Collisions between trains
Collisions between trains and cars
Collisions with track obstructions
Derailments
Employees injured at train yards
Equipment failure
The nature of your train accident often dictates whether and from whom personal injury compensation is available.
The unique facts of your case are essential to making a personal injury claim. For example, if lightning strikes a train signal and causes an immediate accident, this "act of God" and may prevent substantial recovery. However, if the signal was malfunctioning, and the railroad did not take safety precautions, you may have a case for personal injuries. These small facts often make the difference in personal injury litigation, and it takes experienced train accident attorneys to know what facts to look for after a Missouri train accident.
Personal Injuries Often Sustained in Train Accidents
One of the major differences between train and car travel is the lack of safety features on trains. Because trains are a safer form of travel, many railroads aren't legally obligated to include certain safety features. For example, most commuter trains and subways do not have seatbelts or airbags. It's reported that seat belts have saved over 300,000 lives, and your risk of suffering a serious or fatal injury decreases by 50 percent with the use of a seatbelt in a car. Commuters injured in a Missouri train accident may suffer more serious injuries than automobile passengers. These common train accident injuries commonly include the following:
Spinal trauma: Neck and back injuries are the most common disabling injuries in the United States. The sensitive nerve fibers in your spine and gelatinous disks between your vertebrae weaken as you age. As such, even minor whiplash can cause serious damage to your spinal cord with radiating pain. When a train stops short or collides with an object, passengers' necks may jerk forward or backward. This quickly strains neck and back tendons and may cause serious spinal cord damage. In especially severe train accidents, such as high-speed collisions and derailments, a hard impact may cause the spinal cord to sever, resulting in paralysis.
Traumatic brain injuries: The lack of safety features on commuter trains may lead to an increased risk of head trauma during a train crash. Many passengers are sleeping, reading, or working in a forward position immediately before a train accident. Sudden accidents don't give these passengers time to protect their heads, which often take the brunt of the impact. Open and closed brain injuries can be life-changing, if not fatal.
Fractures: Extremity fractures, i.e., wrist, ankle, leg, and arm, may occur during a train accident. Standing passengers may suffer ankle or knee fractures as they fall. More commonly, passengers will brace themselves with their hands and arms. This may lead to painful wrist and arm fractures from a forceful impact.
Facial damage: Not all train seats are padded. Hard seats are especially common on older subway cars and local trains. Without airbags or seat belts, train accidents can throw seated passengers into a hard surface causing severe facial damage such as orbital and nose fractures. Such injuries may leave permanent scars.
Burns: Mass casualty accidents increase your risk for serious third and fourth-degree burns. Fewer exits per passenger mean more time trapped on a damaged train. If a derailment blocks emergency exits, it's more difficult to escape a spreading electrical fire.
Crush injuries: Passengers seated in the front rail car, pedestrians, and motor vehicle operators may suffer from crushing injuries after a train accident. Pedestrians' feet and legs also often get stuck in the gap between the train and platform, resulting in bone-crushing injuries. Vehicles struck by a train can trap a driver inside his car as it's crushed, and a high-speed multi-train collision can crush front rail car passengers.
Train accidents are unique in that no injury is unexpected. Passengers sit, sleep, stand, and lean on trains. They may be hit by falling luggage, dislocate their shoulder while holding subway handles, or break their wrists while bracing themselves. If you suffered physical or severe emotional injuries after a Missouri train accident, a qualified St. Louis train accident lawyer may be able to help.

Prerequisites to Recovery after a Missouri Train Accident
If you've been injured in a Missouri train accident, you may have to file a claim under the Missouri Torts Claims Act (MTCA). Most trains and/or train tracks are state-owned, which means your ability to file a claim is limited. The MTCA expressly waives sovereign immunity if a government employee negligently causes an injury while operating a motor vehicle during employment. Trains are included in the definition of motor vehicles in Missouri. Sovereign immunity is also waivable if the public entity, i.e., the train company, has liability insurance to cover personal injuries. Further, you are permitted to make a claim for personal injuries against a government entity if all of the following are true:
The property (tracks, signals, or train cars) was in a dangerous condition before the accident
The dangerous condition created a foreseeable risk of harm, and
An employee created the dangerous condition, or
The public entity had sufficient notice of the dangerous condition with enough time to take protective action.
Each train incident is unique and ninety-nine percent of the time, you may not know who owns the tracks or the trains. The specifics of the train incident will determine the parities one can pursue, the amount of coverage, the statue of limitations and the notice due. These are not easy answers that are just available online, you actually need to talk to an expert.
If you are involved in a train crash, then the above information can be overwhelming. You don't have the answers to those questions, so call a train accident attorney immediately at (314) 276-1681 and we can assist you in gathering that information.
Prior to the enactment of this MTCA, injured passengers couldn't recover damages from a public entity. Strict adherence to the provisions of the MTCA is essential in certain cases or you may risk forfeiting your claim for personal injuries. If a defective condition or railroad crossing caused the train accident, you may have to file a notice of claim with the mayor of the city where the train accident occurred no later than 90 days after the crash. This written notice of claim must include the following:
The place where the accident and injuries occurred
The approximate time of the accident and injuries
The circumstances of how the injury was obtained, i.e., train derailment causing a broken bone, and
Notice that you intend to claim damages.
Many citizens injured in a Missouri train accident don't contact a train accident lawyer until it's too late. So, call immediately to learn the basic information that you need in case you need to proceed with a claim. Call us for a free consultation (314) 276.1681 or toll free at 1-800-685-3302.
Federal Legal Considerations After a Train Accident
Amtrak has a major presence in the Midwest, with prominent stations throughout Missouri and St. Louis. Amtrak is not a federal entity, but it does receive federal subsidies. You do not have to file a claim under the Federal Torts Claims Act (FTCA) before filing litigation against Amtrak itself. However, there are a variety of federal laws applicable to railroad safety, and the federal government owns and oversees certain stretches of railway used by passenger trains. Personal injuries caused by negligent rail maintenance or design may require claimants to abide by the FTCA. Furthermore, the FTCA includes special notice requirements and adherence to certain administrative procedures.
Federal law mandates adherence to the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. This act implements certain hours of service requirements, safety mandates, operator certifications, technological controls, and rail-crossing protections all interstate railroads must abide by. Experienced train accident attorneys will review the evidence of your case to determine whether the Rail Safety Act was violated. Federal rail safety violations may be strong evidence of negligence in personal injury cases.
Positive Train Control Regulations
One of the major federal regulations governing railroad safety is Positive Train Control (PTC). PTC is a fail-safe computer system designed to prevent train accidents caused by human error. It works by automatically stopping a train if it determines an accident is imminent. This includes preventing:
Train-to-train collisions
Excessive speed
Unauthorized train movements
Incorrect track switching.
PTC isn't fully implemented in the United States, although certain primitive versions of the technology are available on major routes. It's believed that the vast majority of train accidents and fatalities would have been avoided with PTC. Since 2008, federal law has mandated the development and implementation of PTC in the United States, but it is not complete. Your train accident attorney may review whether PTC was available for and would have prevented your injuries. Failure to implement this technology as required may aid your negligence claims.
Recoverable Damages After a Missouri Train Accident
Mass casualty accidents often result in multiple claims for serious personal injuries. This can be problematic in cases where damages are capped by "incident." For example, the federal government caps recovery for Amtrak accidents, and the MTCA only allows for a maximum of $300,000 per claimant. It also limits special or punitive damages. With private claims, there are practical insurance liability limits after a train accident. Insurance policies are not unlimited, and railroads only pay for a certain level of coverage. If the policy "maxes out" after a mass casualty accident, claimants may receive a proportional settlement. Recovering additional damages from the railroad itself, as opposed to the insurer, can be more difficult. Further, claimants that don't make a timely claim may get nothing from an insurance settlement. This is another reason why it's essential to contact a St. Louis personal injury attorney immediately after a Missouri train accident.
Contact an Experienced St. Louis Train Accident Lawyer Immediately
Call a Missouri train accident lawyer at The Cagle Law Firm immediately after a train accident. Your personal injury claims may be subject to a time deadlines, and other claimants may already be working with the railroad's insurance provider. You must diligently protect your right to recover compensation after you were negligently injured by railway negligence in Missouri. To schedule your free, no risk Missouri train accident and personal injury consultation, call us today at (314) 276-1681 or contact us online.

Q: Display Two Images On Submit Using Ajax Suppose I have two div boxes as shown below :

So What I did is when I click on submit Button the image gets uploaded on the no Image Section.
But What I also want that When I click the button one time . the Image should be loaded on both the boxes .
This is my HTML  :

Input Image

       <form id="uploadForm" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

No Image

       <input name="fileToUpload" type="file" class="inputFile" />

       <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btnSubmit btn btn-primary" />

       </form>

Output Image

Here is my AJAX Script :

And Here is my Php code for Loading
<?php
if(is_array($_FILES)) {
if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filetoUpload']['tmp_name'])) {
$sourcePath = $_FILES['filetoUpload']['tmp_name'];
$targetPath = "images/".$_FILES['filetoUpload']['name'];
if(move_uploaded_file($sourcePath,$targetPath)) {
?>
<img class="image-preview" src="<?php echo $targetPath; ?>" class="upload-preview" />
<?php
}
}
}
?>

A: First of all pass datatype html in ajax request as dataType: "html",
Then, if you want to load image in
No Image
 then you must need to echo image from PHP script like:
echo '<img src="<?php echo $targetPath; ?>" />';

if you want to load image in both boxes then create one another div here:

Output Image

and in jQuery, use this:
$("#targetLayer").html(data);
$("#boxTwo").html(data);

And, i have no idea why are you using 2 classes class="image-preview" and class="upload-preview" in  tag?
In last, you have one typo also in your code, you are using name="fileToUpload" but in php you are fetching the record with $_FILES['filetoUpload'] which will give you UNDEFINED INDEX NOTICE

A: You can use class name instead of using id of the div to show the results in both using jQuery.
   $(".targetLayer").html(data);

No Image

Output Image

A: Create

 after
Output Image
 and replace $("#targetLayer").html(data); with $("#targetLayer").add('#outputLayer').html(data);

Rider's legacy on display
OWHA president vital to the game's evolution
Published 09.04.2013 14:27 GMT-4 | Author Andrew Podnieks
Fran Rider has shaped and contributed to the development of women's hockey from ground zero. (Photo: Andre Ringuette/HHOF-IIHF Images)
If ever the Hockey Hall of Fame decides to induct a woman into the Builder's category, there is one name above all others to consider—Fran Rider.
No woman has exerted a greater force or had a greater influence on the development of women's hockey than Rider. Whereas most people think of 1990 as a starting point for the game, the truth is that 1990 was an end point.
The truth is that without Fran Rider's remarkable determination, women's hockey would likely not exist in its current form. Hyperbole? You decide.
Rider was a typical girl in a typical city, but while other girls went to school, got jobs or got married, Rider stayed in the game. Her life, her story, is the history—or, the "herstory" of women's hockey itself.
The timeline begins in 1967.
"I was a lifelong Toronto Maple Leafs fan, but women and girls didn't play hockey," Rider began. "Then, in 1967, I saw a notice in the Toronto Telegram that there was a tournament starting up called the Brampton Canadettes. It was girls' hockey. I played in that first tournament that year. It was full body-checking. I was 16, and we had a seven-year-old and a 44-year-old on our team."
That was the hook for Rider. She was thrilled by the experience and continued to play as much as possible. "Ice time was very limited for girls. You had one hour, and very few practices. You basically learned how to play by playing games. There were a lot of good players at that time. I didn't get a lot of ice time, but the other players we so encouraging. Eventually I played at the top level and played with and against Angela James, France St. Louis, Danielle Goyette. They were quite young and I was quite old."
One word you hear at every IIHF event is "volunteer." Bob Nicholson, president of Hockey Canada, will tell anyone any time that without volunteers, Hockey Canada wouldn't exist. Rider is a perfect example.
"The first year I started playing I also started volunteering in the Brampton tournament. I had a passion for hockey; I absolutely loved it. We had a backyard rink, so I'd skate there year after year. I loved it and wanted to create more opportunities so every girl and woman could play. I started by volunteering and getting involved in any way possible. At that time there were only tournaments, not leagues. Preston, Brampton, Picton all had tournaments. Teams from across Ontario and into the United States played. Most of the players didn't have a league to play in, but over time leagues were established and I always volunteered."
The timeline continues—1975
Although still in her early twenties, Rider was as familiar a name and face in women's hockey as any. The key to everything we know and love about the game today can be traced to the establishment of the Ontario Women's Hockey Association in 1975.
"The OWHA is the only organization in the world dedicated solely to the growth and development of female hockey," Rider says with pride of the OWHA's unchanged mandate, then til now.
"I was part of the meetings to establish the OWHA, but the core group was Maurice and Shirley Landry, Dave McMaster, and Bev Mallory. Cookie Cartwright, a lawyer in Kingston, was instrumental in developing the first operational documents. They were huge in establishing the OWHA."
Rider has particularly kind words for the late Dave McMaster, a champion of women's hockey in those early days in the 1970s who became the head coach of the 1990 team.
"Dave was a special person," she enthused. "He was a coach, and often before a game he'd be in the lobby talking to an opponent, telling them what to do to shoot or skate better. He was amazing. He just wanted to help players improve."
Rider's rise to the top of the OWHA was as organic as it was swift. She was enthusiastic, ambitious for the organization, and relentless. "No" and "impossible" were not words in her vocabulary.
"I joined several OWHA committees when it was formed in 1975. I never really had any aspirations for roles or titles; I just wanted to be part of a team to help make the game better. The biggest thing I learned was that for whatever area you're working in, find the best people in that area to work with."
Perhaps the best thing about the OWHA was that it could operate however it wanted. No one cared about women's hockey, so there were no rules by which to abide.
"The key thing was flexibility," Rider admitted. "The rulebook wasn't as important as finding ways to get teams to play. For instance, residency didn't matter. Age didn't matter. Roy Morris in Brampton started the first house league there, and he matched age and skill by helmet colour. It worked. And then as you got more players, you could have teams at a reasonable level. Flexibility was the key."
Timeline—1982
Soon enough Rider was president of the OWHA, and from there she helped build the first national championship in 1982.
"When I was younger everyone said you couldn't play, you shouldn't play. We were laughed at for even trying to play," Rider recalled. "But the players just wanted to enjoy hockey. Everyone recognized the game would be stronger if we made it stronger in Ontario and Canada and the world. I got involved with the Brampton Canadettes and chaired the tournament for ten years, 1977-87. I was president of the OWHA at that time."
But the Brampton event was small potatoes for what was ahead. If Rider and women's hockey wanted to grow, it had to become a national sport, and it had to develop into something more than just a regional tournament once a year.
"The late Frank Champion-Demers was a driving force in organizing the first national championship," Rider continued. "That event was spear-headed by the OWHA, and that led to sponsorship with Shopper's Drug Mart. The OWHA hosted the first two national championships in Brantford. The nationals brought women's hockey into the Hockey Canada network, so there was a team from every province, and the female council was formed in 1982. That got women's hockey on the map in Canada."
Of course, when one is trying to grow a sport, bigger is better and more is more. With a national championship now an established part of the women's hockey calendar, Rider started to push for the ultimate challenge—a tournament with teams from around the world. The expansion of women's hockey to Europe started in 1985.
"In 1985, we learned there were teams in Holland and West Germany," Rider said. "They came to Brampton that year, so we had an international tournament. There were teams from Quebec, Ontario, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and then Holland and West Germany. A gentleman by the name of Wolfgang Sorge came over with the West German team. He worked in Division III hockey in West Germany, and he worked closely with Dr. Gunther Sabetzki. They were interested in what was going on with women's hockey in Canada, and he was pleased with what he saw."
The success of the 1985 Canadettes tournament was small but encouraging. Rider had managed to put the finances together to host a women's hockey tournament with teams from four countries. No outside help, no support beyond her own energy and the determination of the OWHA and friends.
That, though, inspired her to think globally, and globally meant a world championship of some sort. Rider includes rather than excludes, and while her stories clearly place at the centre of the growth and development, she is forever praising the role of those around her in how the game evolved.
"There were two key people—Dick Larzelere in Michigan and Carl Gray in Massachusetts—who we worked with to drive the U.S. involvement," she continued. "We at the OWHA drove the Canadian involvement, and we continued to push the international countries. Rolf and Andrea Schweitzer in Switzerland were very keen and Bergitta Crawford out of Sweden was keen."
"As we started to establish contacts in Sweden and elsewhere, we learned that there were really good players in other countries," Rider described. "We started thinking about doing a world championship, but as we were lobbying for that, we ran into quite a few walls. What we were able to do was get a "world tournament." We got approval for that from Hockey Canada."
That might sound like semantics, but anything "world" was better than anything else not world.
"We managed to get six countries to compete in the world tournament, and another five sent delegates," Rider boasted. "We scheduled it close to the Brampton Canadettes tournament because we felt that if it fell through then they'd still have a meaningful competition. We brought in Hazel McCallion as the honourary chairperson. That laid the groundwork for today."
"That was April 1987," Rider continued, extending the timeline and success and development of the game to ever greater heights of success. "In December, the Swiss hosted the Ochsner Cup. A lot of the same countries went to play in that tournament. It was an invitational event, and Czechoslovakia was there. Some of the meetings we had held in Canada and carried on in Switzerland were about getting women's hockey in the Olympics. One of the most enthusiastic countries was Czechoslovakia. To us, that was a huge victory. They were a powerful nation in hockey."
The first and unofficial world championship for women took place in Toronto and was an unqualified success. But the word success cannot be quantified in attendance figures or gate receipts or TV ratings, all of which were minimal or close enough to zero to be ignored.
"Success was that we had meetings with eleven countries about women's hockey," Rider explained. "We learned that our challenges and successes were very similar. We determined that those countries would go back and do their best to grow the game. That was an important commitment. And each of those countries was connected to others, so that increased our network for women's hockey that was going to push the game forward."
But those meetings were spurred on by the successes of the games themselves.
"We pitted Canada and the U.S. against each other in the first game," Rider continued. "National and international media covered that game. It was a one-goal game. Canada won. The stands were full. One of the players, Lina Baun Danielsen, was the news anchor for TV 2 in Denmark, so she attracted a lot of press. The IIHF and Hockey Canada were watching, and it blossomed from there. Dr. Sabetzki was keen and said he wanted to see women's hockey in the Olympics in his lifetime. Murray Costello from Hockey Canada became a supporter. The players had a chance to sell themselves. The OWHA didn't have to do anything."
Because of 1987, because the players were enthusiastic and now Hockey Canada, Europe, and the IIHF had seen the games in 1987, women's hockey was on a roll. A quiet, unassuming, under-the-radar roll, but a roll all the same.
"We continued to lobby to host a true World Championship," Rider went on, "and in 1989, West Germany hosted the European Championship in Dusseldorf and Rattingen. I was invited as a guest of the IIHF and the West German Federation, and at that event they brought in a top marketing agency. Dr. Sabetzki was there. The stands were full. That tournament became the qualifier for the 1990 World Championship in Ottawa."
Timeline—1990 and beyond
By this time, it was a given women's hockey would be successful. It was just a matter of how successful and when, not if. The first official tournament cemented the sport in the eyes of everyone important in the decision-making process—Hockey Canada, the IIHF, the IOC. "After that, everyone believed," Rider summarized.
"I didn't see problems," Rider said with mantra-like belief. "I saw opportunities. I knew what had to happen, and I wanted to find a way to make it happen. I didn't care about finances or people saying things are impossible. I probably believed more than most people that we needed a world championship—it just needed to be. It just didn't make sense that "no" should be there. I worked with other people who believed. I wanted to make them believe that this just has to be."
Be and belief is what drove Rider and the tournament to where it is today.
"What happened in women's hockey is that we had a goal. It didn't have borders. It didn't have boundaries. We had a goal of getting women's hockey into the Olympics, which was an impossible dream. We put everything else aside. We achieved that impossible dream. People say women's hockey is fragile now? This is nothing compared to where it used to be."
"One of the problems we faced all along," Rider explained, "was that you need to broaden the base and get the grassroots going before you can high performance. You couldn't sever the two. Little girls around the world needed role models. They needed to be on television, in the newspaper. They need to see and feel that if she can do that, I can do that. Once women's hockey was on the world stage, and then finally accepted into the Olympics, it was an acceptable sport to do.
"As well, universities started to develop women's teams. Then, young girls who gained self-esteem and self-respect through hockey carried forward and combined their education with hockey. They went on to become incredible role models as lawyers, doctors, professionals. Now, it's the players themselves who have the credibility, so they're the spokespeople."
IIHF finances limited the women's worlds to every two years at first, but that might have been a blessing in disguise as it allowed the game to develop slowly. Two years later, the game exploded.
"In 1992, in Finland, Gilbert Felli and Pirjo Hagman were sent by the IOC to Finland to see if this sport should be in the Olympics," Rider carried on. "The bronze-medal game went to a shootout, Finland beat Sweden. It was one of the best hockey games I've ever seen, to this day. That game did a lot to seal our place in the Olympics."
Six years later, Canada and the United States played for gold, the Americans winning that historic gold-medal game in Nagano. Women's hockey had reached its zenith, but it was a trip that began in 1967 when an 11-year-old named Fran saw a story in the Telegram about a tournament called the Canadettes (which, by the way, is now in its 47th year).
Rider was in the room for pretty much everything since 1975 when the OWHA was established, and the fruits of her efforts are a sport that is strong and getting stronger every day.
"Every year and everything I've ever done it's been with a team," she concluded. "I've met so many wonderful people with so many skills in every area. In the beginning, we didn't have the credibility, but we latched on to people who did. And now, women's hockey is here to stay."

Cortisol is an important body hormone, but when you have too much, or your daily rhythms are out of sync, you can have serious health problems. Lifestyle habits such as a healthy diet and daily exercise are important to keeping the body systems in check.
Cortisol is best known for its involvement in our "fight or flight" response. If we were being chased by a bear, for example, cortisol and its partner hormone epinephrine, would cause a temporary increase in energy production so we would have fuel on board to fight that bear or have the ability to get out of its way.
Most of us today don't fight bears. But many of us do have excessive levels of cortisol due to our fast-paced, stressful lifestyles.
Keep in mind, cortisol is not a bad thing – it is naturally higher in the mornings, for example, to help wake us up for the day. Typically, it decreases at night as we start to relax from a hard day's work.
Unfortunately, though, this natural rhythm of hormone fluctuations has gotten "lost" in some of us. Emma Adam of Northwestern University says that losing variation in the cortisol cycle, or "stress related circadian dysregulation", may be a cause of health concerns such as inflammation, obesity, and possibly even cancer.
Ms. Adam's team looked at data from 80 studies and found that "inflammation and immune system dysfunction had the strongest associations (with altered cortisol levels)" and that "fatigue, cancer, depression, and obesity were all worse in people who had less variation in their cortisol".
Several lifestyle habits can help reduce this chronic stress situation that leads to poor health. This includes stress management, better sleep quality and daily exercise. But we can also do wonders by improving our diet.
•	Low Glycemic Load – During stress, cortisol helps release glucose into the bloodstream, leading to increased blood sugar levels. Over the long term, this would lead to a potential insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes. Focus on foods such as fruits and vegetables and whole grains – and skip the processed flours and other foods that sharply raise blood sugar.
•	Low Saturated Fat and Low Trans Fat – Cutting out the animal products is a quick way to significantly decrease saturated fats. But beware of boxed convenience foods – while they may be vegan, they could also be harboring trans fat.
•	High Fiber – Maintaining a high fiber diet has many advantages, including helping control calories (feeling full on fewer calories), helping reduce cholesterol and blood sugar spikes, and maintaining good bowel function.
•	High Intake of Micronutrients and Antioxidants – Strive for a colorful diet every day. Fruits and vegetables from all colors of the rainbow have benefits – try to fit as many colors as possible into your daily meal plans.
The results of the Northwestern University study appear in the September issue of the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

A spokesperson for the travelling show said: "Two near naked men (they wear shoes) will be manipulating their nether regions using the Ancient Art of Genital Origami, providing the audience with a hilarious array of shapes and impersonations which will be projected onto a huge video screen.
"This latest incarnation of Puppetry comes fresh from sin city itself, Las Vegas, where the show has been thrilling audiences for the last two years.
"This show will feature all of your favourites, including the Eiffel Tower, the Loch Ness Monster, the Pelican and of course, the iconic Hamburger, but will also include a host of new installations, such as Miley Cyrus, Yoda, and the Kardashian, that promise to rock you into hilarious fits of laughter.
"Puppetry of the Penis is the perfect show for all occasions."

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, and Aaron, saying:
2 Take the sum of the sons of Caath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families.
3 From thirty years old and upward, to fifty years old, of all that go in to stand and to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 This is the service of the sons of Caath:
5 When the camp is to set forward, Aaron and his sons shall go into the tabernacle of the covenant, and the holy of holies, and shall take down the veil that hangeth before the door, and shall wrap up the ark of the testimony in it,
6 And shall cover it again with a cover of violet skins, and shall spread over it a cloth all of violet, and shall put in the bars.
7 They shall wrap up also the table of proposition in a cloth of violet, and shall put with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls to pour out the libations: the leaves shall be always on it:
8 And they shall spread over it a cloth of scarlet, which again they shall cover with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
9 They shall take also a cloth of violet wherewith they shall cover the candlestick with the lamps and tongs thereof and the snuffers and all the oil vessels, which are necessary for the dressing of the lamps :
10 And over all they shall put a cover of violet skins and put in the bars.
11 And they shall wrap up the golden altar also in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
12 All the vessels wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, they shall wrap up in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
13 They shall cleanse the altar also from the ashes, and shall wrap it up in a purple cloth,
14 And shall put it with all the vessels that they use in the ministry thereof, that is to say, firepans, fleshhooks and forks, pothooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped up the sanctuary and the vessels thereof at the removing of the camp, then shall the sons of Caath enter in to carry the things wrapped up: and they shall not touch the vessels of the sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Caath: in the tabernacle of the covenant:
16 And over them shall be Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, to whose charge pertaineth the oil to dress the lamps, and the sweet incense, and the sacrifice, that is always offered, and the oil of unction, and whatsoever pertaineth to the service of the tabernacle, and of all the vessels that are in the sanctuary.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
18 Destroy not the people of Caath from the midst of the Levites:
19 But do this to them, that they may live, and not die, by touching the holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall appoint every man his work, and shall divide the burdens that every man is to carry.
20 Let not others by any curiosity see the things that are in the sanctuary before they be wrapped up, otherwise they shall die.
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
22 Take the sum of the soils of Gerson also by their houses and families and kindreds.
23 From thirty Sears old and upward, unto fifty years old. Number them all that go in and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
24 This is the office of the family of the Gersonites :
25 To carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the violet covering over all, and the hanging that hangeth in the entry of the tabernacle of the covenant,
26 The curtains of the court, and the veil in the entry that is before the tabernacle. All things that pertain to the altar, the cords and the vessels of the ministry,
27 The sons of Gerson shall carry, by the commandment of Aaron and his sons: and each man shall know to what burden he must be assigned.
28 This is the service of the family of the Gersonites in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 Thou shalt reckon up the sons of Merari also by the families and houses of their fathers,
30 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the office of their ministry, and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the boards of the tabernacle and the bars thereof, the pillars and their sockets,
32 The pillars also of the court round about, with their sockets and pins and cords. They shall receive by account all the vessels and furniture, and so shall carry them.
33 This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry in the tabernacle of the covenant: and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the synagogue reckoned up the sons of Caath, by their kindreds and the houses of their fathers,
35 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant:
36 And they were found two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37 This is the number of the people of Caath that go in to the tabernacle of the covenant: these did Moses and Aaron number according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
38 The sons of Gerson also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
39 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant:
40 And they were found two thousand six hundred and thirty.
41 This is the people of the Gersonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
43 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to fulfil the rites of the tabernacle of the covenant:
44 And they were found three thousand two hundred.
45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron reckoned up according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
46 All that were reckoned up of the Levites, and whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel took by name, by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
47 From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years old, that go into the ministry of the tabernacle, and to carry the burdens,
48 Were in all eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
49 Moses reckoned them up according to the word of the Lord, every one according to their office and burdens, as the Lord had commanded him.


OCOA President Bill Fisher presents CO Dan Slater with a 2001 Lifesaving Award at the Aurora Convention.
On January 26, 2001, Conservation Officer Dan Slater assisted in attempting to rescue Park Warden Dee Dunsford, after she had fallen through the ice of Clarke Lake, in Algonquin Provincial Park.
CO Slater responded to a call that a tail groomer had broken through the ice of Clarke Lake. The operator of the groomer managed to escape, but the passenger, Park Warden Dee Dunsford, had not. Slater, assisted by other park staff, entered the frigid water and searched for Park Warden Dunsford until he had to be pulled from the water. Although Dee Dunsford tragically lost her life in the accident, Conservation Officer Slater is commended for his courageous lifesaving actions.

Q: Why does the Linq OrderBy extension not affect the list it is called on? I am attempting to write a generic sort extension method to List based on a string column name and linq.
I have most of it here, but it doesn't work just yet. The logic is taken from this site.
public static List<T> Sort<T>(this List<T> list, string sortColumn, string sortOrder)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(sortColumn))
        return list;

    int order = sortOrder == "desc" ? -1 : 1;

    var param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "x");
    var sortExpression = Expression.Lambda<Func<T, object>>(Expression.Property(param, sortColumn), param);
    list = list.AsQueryable().OrderBy(sortExpression).ToList();

    return list;
}

Stepping through this code I see that list is sorted properly, but when returned, it has no effect on the list I passed in. I'm guessing AsQueryable or OrderBy is creating a new object in memory and I'm no longer pointing to the same reference. Does anyone have some tips on how to make this work appropriately, or barring that, another solution? Thanks!

A:
Does anyone have some tips on how to make this work appropriately, or barring that, another solution?

If you want to modify the original list, use List<T>.Sort.

A: One of the basic ideas behind LINQ is that it does not modify the things its called on.
OrderBy() can be called on any IEnumerable<T>, even those that aren't backed by anything resembling a list (e.g. it's generated on the fly). And it would be really inconsistent if it did something like: "If the source is IList<T>, sorts it and returns the original reference. If it doesn't, creates a new sorted sequence."

A: It's a different list. The ToList() call creates a new List<T> instance, entirely separate from the List<T> that was passed into the method. It will have the same items in it, probably in a different order, but the list itself is a different object.
By the way, dynamic linq already does this so you might want to check it out. You can start reading about it here.

Elusive Toxicity Of Silicon Carbide Nanomaterials
Science ContributorPRO INVESTOR
14, August 2018 | Last Updated: 14, March 2020
In the broadest sense, nanomaterial is defined as a structure that is within the size of 1-1000 nanometers, i.e., 10-9 – 10-6 meters, in two or three dimensions. The nanoscale size of these materials holds numerous advantages over their bulk counterparts such as an increased surface-area-to-volume ratio along with unique physical, chemical, and optical properties.
These unique properties together with their small size make nanomaterials perfect candidates for biological application such as cell imaging. For example, silicon carbide nanowires become luminescent and can enter cancer cells, which enables them to track cells by fluorescence imaging (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Cancer cell tracking with silicon carbide nanowires (SiCNW) by fluorescence imaging. Scale bars are 100 µm. Signal in TEXAS RED channel is due to the luminescence of silicon carbide nanowires. Signal in DAPI channel is from cell nucleus stained with NucBlue®. Signal in FITC channel is from green fluorescence proteins in the cancer cells. Republished with permission from Elsevier: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2018.06.027
The medical application of nanomaterials, also known as nanomedicine, has been extensively reported over the last few decades[1, 2]. Existing applications of nanomaterials include targeted drug delivery, sustained drug release, highly sensitive imaging, and specific light- and heat-based therapies. For example, a nanoparticle that is made to specifically target a tumor can be loaded with an anti-cancer drug and be used for photothermal therapy. In other words, the drug is only released at a specific site as the nanoparticle carrier ablates the surrounding cells.
Nanomedicine shows great successful diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes in the lab setting. However, few nanomedicines make it to clinical trials, not to mention translation from bench to bedside. This is due to a limited understanding of the materials' elusive toxicity.
Understanding the toxicity of nanomaterials is complicated because there are many factors to consider. Besides common factors like compositions and dosages, other reported factors include size, surface bond, synthetic methods, and shape[3]. Recently, Fang Chen et al. from Dr. Jokerst's Bioimaging Lab at UCSD reported that the cytotoxicity of nanomaterials varies across cell lines. They showed that the silicon carbide nanowires were not toxic to MCF7 cancer cells, which confirms previous reports [4].
However, they found that silicon carbide nanowires negatively impacted multiple aspects of human mesenchymal stem cells' function such as adhesion ability, cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, adipogenic differentiation, surface markers, and cytokine secretion. This finding provides important insight into learning about the cytotoxicity of nanomaterials before broadening their biological and/or medical applications.
Despite the toxicity of silicon carbide nanowires to human mesenchymal stem cells, the authors showed that two silicon carbide nanoparticles with varying sizes are compatible with human mesenchymal stem cells, showing minimal cytotoxic effects. This report indicates that materials with varying shapes — even if they are chemically identical — can significantly change a cell's ability to survive and to function. This also further emphasizes the need for a rigorous understanding of toxicity.
These findings are described in the article entitled Cellular toxicity of silicon carbide nanomaterials as a function of morphology, recently published in the journal Biomaterials. This work was conducted by Fang Chen, Eric Ruike Zhao, Jingting Li, Ghanim Hableel, Jeanne E. Lemaster, Yuting Bai, George L. Sen, and Jesse V. Jokerst from UCSD and Gongyi Li from the National University of Defense Technology in China.
