The Recovering and the Recovered
April 18, 2020 by Amy Kelley
Our author brings us up to date on her own gradual return to good health after falling ill with coronavirus–and shares the harrowing but similarly miraculous journeys to recovery experienced by, as it happens, two well-known, Chappaqua-based musicians.
During this terrible time in American history, we brace ourselves to digest the latest news each day as to how many fellow New Yorkers are suffering and dying; this week, public officials announced well over 10,000 had died in New York City alone. It's a tragic, frightening statistic, and as Governor Andrew Cuomo regularly reminds us, there are real faces behind the numbers and devastated families who cannot properly care for those hospitalized or later deceased or adequately address their own grief.
But every day, there are also more than twice as many people recovering from COVID-19, the novel coronavirus.
As dire as the situation certainly is, it's important to remember, too, that many New York residents are also getting better, and many experts predict at least a year of subsequent immunity follows, although inadequate widespread testing remains an ongoing challenge.
A few weeks past my own last symptoms, solidly recovered from COVID-19, Mount Sinai Hospital scheduled myself and my 18-and-up family members to donate plasma.
I feel very lucky.
I can walk into the pharmacy without fear and get takeout coffee without fearing invisible germs on the cup. And when I line up outside the grocery store. I'm meticulous about social distancing–but that's because I don't want to worry anyone else, not because I worry about myself.
There are more and more of us every day–the recovering and the recovered. (Editor's Note: The jury is still out on the degree of immunity to coronavirus infection, post recovery too. Please speak with your doctor.)
We're not all young, either. I'm 50, and the Chappaqua residents I interviewed for this article– by phone, because both were not totally well yet–are a bit older. I also have a minor heart condition and asthma.
People always want to know more about my asthma so here's a description that, under normal circumstances, would be oversharing and plus would bore you to tears: I've had asthma since I was seven.
My asthma is idiopathic, meaning that there's no known cause. I'm on the highest dose of Symbicort, twice daily, and use my albuterol rescue inhaler more than I'm supposed to. Not a day goes by that I don't think, several times, about my difficult breathing.
Yes, my heart condition was exacerbated by the virus–that's why I was hospitalized and tested. But my lungs remained clear while hospitalized, and when I developed more significant shortness of breath a few days later at home, I wasn't worried.
As a lifelong asthmatic, I know when to worry, and it just didn't get that bad.
The editor asked me to share my recovery story as a follow up to my 'being sick' story https://www.theinsidepress.com/area-journalist-diagnosed-covid-19-positive-and-quarantined-with-family/ but also to speak with two members of the Chappaqua community, both of whom happen to be accomplished musicians who had contracted coronavirus. Each had become seriously ill, but each also appears to have fortunately recovered as well. She asked if I'd check in with them:
Jon Cobert: "My Wife Tried to Revive Me… then she Called 911"
I personally never lost my sense of taste and smell, which has become one of the telltale signs of coronavirus, but my husband and two of my sons did.
So did this Chappaqua resident, music legend Jon Cobert. His wife and son caught the virus as well, and they too lost their senses of taste and smell.
Cobert, 65, a five-time Grammy nominated musician who has played with John Lennon, Tom Chapin, Harry Chapin, Laura Branigan and many others, first called his doctor in mid-March. "I had a headache and a fever on March 16 after dinner, and I kind of knew," he said, adding that he doesn't usually get headaches or fevers, and his doctor said to keep an eye on things.
When Cobert developed a cough, though, his doctor arranged for him to have his lungs looked at on March 20, and he was tested. He got the call that the test was positive on March 23.
Cobert said he had been hoping he didn't have it, although he recalled having worked with two musicians who later tested positive as well. His doctor said he should take his temperature and call to come in if he became very short of breath. At first, he was tired with a productive cough; but then he developed gastrointestinal symptoms.
A few days later, he passed out while sitting at the kitchen table.
"I just felt all the energy drain out of my body," he said. "My wife tried to revive me, and then she called 911."
Cobert said the Chappaqua Ambulance Corps was there in less than five minutes. He was taken to Northern Westchester Hospital and treated for atrial fibrillation. "They were fantastic," he said.
Unfortunately, that overnight stay wasn't the last Cobert saw of the hospital. On March 28, he developed chest pains and shortness of breath, and had to return.
But he was once more cleared to return home, and now his heart rate is, according to his Apple Watch, normal.
While Tylenol was hard to find, Cobert's family was able to find generic acetaminophen. His sister-in-law gave him an oxygen meter, and he had an inhaler left over from a bout of bronchitis in the fall that he used a few times.
As of early this week, Cobert was feeling back to his normal self. "I went for a walk yesterday and it was quite therapeutic," he said. "It was nice to get outside for an extended period and get some exercise. I highly recommend it."
He even did his first Facebook live performance to the delight of his fans. He plans to do it weekly every Thursday.
Michael Shapiro Thought About "the Love I Feel for the People in my Life"

Composer and conductor Michael Shapiro, 69, also spent time at Northern Westchester Hospital, five days, he shared, due to COVID-19-caused pneumonia, which he described as "feeling like having broken-up concrete in the bottom of my lungs."
"They took wonderful care of me," he said of the hospital staff. "They could not have been better. My long time doctor, Marvin Chinitz, was particularly insightful and I think saved my life."
Shapiro, the former music director of the Chappaqua Orchestra, said he had fever as well. "I'd feel better, then it would spike, I'd feel better again, and the same thing happened. It would spike up again," he said.
"I was constantly thinking about the things I believe in… the love I feel for the people in my life, all my family members, the things I still need to do," Shapiro said, describing his time battling the virus.
This year's Passover Seder, Shapiro said, was particularly meaningful as the fight between good and evil and against tyranny became less abstract for him, the Biblical made real as families hunkered down in their homes, the Angel of Death in the form of coronavirus raging across the world.
On a local level, Shapiro said he and his longtime partner Marge Perlin, her two sons and their girlfriends, most of whom tested positive but with relatively mild symptoms, depended on treasured friends and community members, who helped them in many ways.
Shapiro is on the mend now, gathering strength. Public music making is now restricted to commercial and public radio where Shapiro's works, particularly his new Archangel Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (recorded last May by Steven Beck, pianist, and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales) is being broadcast internationally, on BBC3, CBC, and radio stations across America. SiriusXM is featuring Shapiro's music on its program Living American to be broadcast six times and downloadable the next three months.
Shapiro is starting to get back to work on a new violin concerto for virtuoso Tim Fain which they hope to record when the lights go on again.
He credits his return to good health with the support he received within the community, especially. He mentioned: "Richard Leroy, dynamically leading social action at Temple Shaaray Tefila, who arranged for two weeks of meal delivery during the household's quarantine; Vinny Milazzo of the Village Market, who energetically provides curbside service; and Erin Teter, manager of the Quaker Hill Tavern, whose loving example is an inspiration."
"They are special, special people and community members," Shapiro said of Leroy, Milazzo, and Teter. "We love them, they are curing the world every day, and we hope the community supports and cares for what they do."

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN IS ON FOR CARBAHN WITH PEREGRINE RACING
Posted by sportscarracingnews ⋅ October 5, 2021 ⋅ Leave a comment
Filed Under 2021, CarBahn Motorsports with Peregrine Racing, IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Jeff Westphal, preview, RICHARD HEISTAND, sportscar racing, sportscar racing news, Virginia International Raceway
CarBahn with Peregrine Racing is entering the IMSA WeatherTech Sprint Cup finale with its targets locked on the top step of the podium.
The team is headed to VIRginia International Raceway for a GT-Only weekend featuring the No. 39 Audi R8 GT3 LMS in IMSA WeatherTech Sprint Cup and the No. 93 Audi R8 GT4 LMS in IMSA MICHELIN Pilot Challenge. While the No. 93 partakes in its penultimate battle of 2021, the No. 39 is preparing to wave goodbye to its maiden Sprint Cup season at the 3.27-mile, 17 turn course.
The season-long pairing of Richard Heistand and Jeff Westphal looks to end 2021 on a high note by having their most successful weekend to date. In sportscar racing a harmonious driver pairing is half the battle but it's safe to say CarBahn with Peregrine Racing mastered this one; the drivers have meshed since day one making an impressive debut together and excelling since then. While the R8 platform does not afford the pair the fastest car in a straight line, its superior downforce and aerodynamic features should set Heistand and Westphal up for a strong weekend to cap off the year at VIR.
The No. 93 will enter its penultimate event with another shakeup in drivers. The seat will now be shared by Mark Siegel and Tyler McQuarrie, long-time teammates that only began co-driving together this year. With a GS championship in the Audi R8 GT4 LMS under McQuarrie's belt, the pair looks to extrapolate as much past knowledge as they can from him and his data in order to have a record-best finish for Siegel and the No. 93.
QUOTE BOARD
Richard Heistand, Driver of the No. 39 Audi R8 GT3 LMS
"From my perspective, I've enjoyed getting to know a very talented and intelligent group of people that make up this team," Heistand said. "They're good people. They're in this sport because they love it and they've worked hard all season. We've had many moments that taught and reaffirmed us that we are capable of winning while other moments showed we had more work to do to get there. All those moments were valuable, some of them were painful. Regardless of how competitive our package is this weekend; my hope is that we make them feel us. Every member of this team showing who they are. And we'll fight for it until someone tells us to stop."

Jeff Westphal, Driver of the No. 39 Audi R8 GT3 LMS
"The one thing we've learned over the course of this year is that these races can be won and lost in pitlane," Westphal said. "The level of competition is so high, and the grids are so tight that one second in the pits is at least one or two positions on track. I think the level of detail all teams go to here in WeatherTech is a new and welcomed level of perfection that is forcing us to look into areas that were otherwise acceptable in the past."
Mark Siegel, Driver of the No. 93 Audi R8 GT4 LMS
"The No. 93 has been the most consistent it has ever been on the grid, but actually the least consistent it has ever been with its driver lineup," Siegel said. "We have had Tom and Tyler as the pro's and me, Nolan, and Sameer as alternating amateur drivers. For me personally, it has been the most consistent race season because of the time I've been able to devote to it. It shows in lap times, race craft, and my general confidence in the car with my own abilities. Although our crew is all guys from CarBahn that we worked with last year, they have had to become much more independent this year because we are running the GTD effort in parallel on the same weekends. So, this has been a good year of development and growth for the entire team, and our car continues to improve and be one of the most capable in the field. I'm very proud of that even if we are not contending for a championship this season."
Tyler McQuarrie, Driver of the No. 93 Audi R8 GT4 LMS
"It has been great to see the No. 93 running every race this year," McQuarrie said. "This has truly helped the drivers, crew and engineers' gel as a group resulting in the best finishes for the No. 93 to date. Although I've only run a few races this year, I've been working with the team behind the scenes to make sure we have a competitive program for 2022. Going into VIR, I'm excited for a lot of the things we tend to take for granted, like just working with the crew and engineers on the setup, strapping the helmet on, getting buckled in the car and going on track to win. I simply love racing and I can't wait to get back after it."

TPA Capital has completed the acquisition of a controlling stake in Pallet-Track Limited.
Pallet-Track is a £84.6 million turnover haulage network headquartered in the West Midlands of England. The company comprises almost 90 haulier members who use the network to provide nationwide coverage to their customers.
Established by Nigel Parkes, Managing Director, in 2002, the business processes around 3.5 million pallets a year through its main central hub in Wolverhampton, England. and its two regional hubs in Wigan and Welwyn Garden City.
Nigel Parkes, says: "There are exciting times ahead. From the very beginning it was clear the culture of TPA was a differentiator with regards to their approach to partnership and collaboration, which had identical synergies with Pallet-Track's values. Their shared ethos of member shareholder participation, combined with a long-term strategic vision and uniquely, a straightforward funding structure unencumbered by third-party financing arrangements, will enable this new partnership to realise its ambitions for long-term sustainable growth".
TPA's investment comes at a time when demand for flexible palletised logistics solutions continues to grow, with pallet networks becoming increasingly integral in ensuring regional hauliers have the infrastructure to service their customers across the UK.

My client retained me more than 2 years ago to defend him on a felony criminal charge where J.D. was the "victim". While defending the criminal charges, a PFA was brought against my client, M.H. For tactical purposes, we decided not to contest the PFA and entered into an agreement for a consent order, which means there was no formal finding of abuse but the PFA would remain in effect for 2 years.
In August, my client was served with a notice of hearing for a LIFETIME extension of the PFA. My client was beside himself as he wanted nothing to do with the "victim" and he just wanted to get on with his life. My client retained me to defend him at the hearing. We had a hearing on the merits and the judge agreed to extend the order for ONE YEAR ONLY with a condition that no further extensions could be sought by the "victim". The judge specifically ordered that my client be allowed to use and possess firearms and made no formal finding of abuse on the record.
PFA's are tricky. If the judge makes a formal finding of abuse, the client loses their gun privileges for life. Often times, it's in everyone's best interests the PFA without a hearing. Both parties have a lot to lose if the judge rules against one side or the other. However, many times we have no choice but to go to hearing. In those instances, we pursue a very aggressive line of questioning against the "victim" and use the transcripts for the defense of the criminal case.

Destiny Troll tells Victims to "Suck it up"
From the mouths of trolls: "People get pissed on the internet and say what they want. It's unfortunate."
by JC Lau
Last week, a video went viral about a young Destiny player who used the Share Play feature on his PS4, and had two high-leveled characters and an exotic weapon deleted by a stranger when he stepped away for a few minutes. The victim was 11-year-old Henry, who went by the handle CuckooKnight.
Much vitriol was leveled at KirmitTHEfrog--the account that deleted the characters--including someone threatening to find him and burn down his house, or another person telling him that they "wished he got cancer and died".
This week, the account owner's mother contacted GameInformer and said that Kirmit was just as much a victim in this as Henry.
It turns out that the KirmitTHEfrog account had been used by multiple people in the same household, while the actual account owner had been convalescing at home after a car accident. GameInformer tracked down the actual offender who said in an interview that he was not at all remorseful about what he had done.
Dubbed "Chris" for the purposes of the interview, the 17-year-old said that his first recorded attack was October 31, when he was at Kirmit's house for a Halloween gathering. Although there were several people in the house at the time, Kirmit was absent.
"I saw party chat and Share Play options," Chris said. "I thought it would be pretty funny to test them out."
When asked how many times he had deleted people's characters and items, he said, "I've done it multiple times... I think three? Four? I thought it would be funny."
Chris also admitted—without prompting—that, aside from Destiny, he had also "done it on GTA before."
Although Chris said that he hadn't seen Henry's video—"I don't pay attention to the news"—he did think that Henry and his other victims should "suck it up and move on with life… What else is there to say?" He did not show any sympathy or remorse.
As for the real owner of the KirmitTHEfrog account and the harassment he's received, Chris remained nonchalant. "It's just human nature. People get pissed on the internet and say what they want. It's unfortunate."
Chris' attitude and the series of events that transpired on Sony's Share Play feature serve as a timely reminder: It's important not just to protect one's account from strangers online, but also to protect it from unwanted interference with the actual account on one's PlayStation. Use your common sense, kids.

Sadly, the use of common sense is not a prerequisite for using the internet.
If it were, there'd be way fewer people online. I guess common sense is not so common. I mean, here you've got not one, but TWO people getting their accounts taken advantage of.

The Fifa president Sepp Blatter's handling of the ISL bribery case has been severely criticised by a Council of Europe report.
On Monday the COE published testimony given by the Swiss prosecuting magistrate, Thomas Hildbrand, to the council about the ISL court case, and says backhanders worth at least 12.7m Swiss francs (£8.6m) were paid to one South American Fifa member and 1.5m Swiss francs to another senior Fifa official. The payments were made by the now defunct ISL marketing company which sold Fifa's World Cup TV rights.
The COE report is damning of Blatter's role despite the fact that the Fifa president was not directly involved. The report states: "Mr Blatter was technical director of Fifa from 1975 to 1981, Fifa general secretary from 1981 to 1998 and has been its president ever since. Since Fifa was aware of significant sums paid to certain of its officials, it is difficult to imagine that Mr Blatter would not have known about this.
"That does not mean that he was directly involved in this case of backhanders. But I believe it is extraordinary that he did nothing to make public all the information which Fifa had or has and took no steps, whether internally or via the courts, to enable Fifa to obtain reparation.
"As Mr Hildbrand clearly explained, Fifa was accused as an undertaking under Swiss law but it was also a victim: the money paid under the counter to certain unscrupulous officials should have been paid to Fifa."
The testimony from Hildbrand, published for the first time, said the "commission payments" were made to ensure that the Fifa officials influenced where TV contracts were awarded. Hildbrand stated in relation to one Fifa executive member, known only as person H, that he received more than 12.5m Swiss francs.
Hildbrand said: "The payments made over a period of years were intended to make use of his influence within Fifa so that contractual relations came about between Fifa and Sports Holding AG, so as to ensure that he subsequently influenced the conclusion of sub-licensing contracts, as president of the Football Association of a South American country.
"Accused person H enriched himself by the amount of the commission payments accepted and not passed on as he had a duty to do, while Fifa was damaged by the same amount."


Sexual Behavior in the Human Female was originally published in 1953, five years after the male volume. The material presented in this book was derived from personal interviews with nearly 6,000 women and from studies in sexual anatomy, physiology, psychology, and endocrinology. The book presents data on the incidence and frequency with which women participate in various types of sexual activity. The authors show how factors such as age, decade of birth, and religious adherence are reflected in patterns of sexual behavior.

With today's focus on safe construction practices, that include call before you dig and call before you clear, utility locating has become an essential first step for everything from the planning design of large construction projects to identifying a sewer pipe location prior to excavation. One limitation with utility locating is that industry standard electromagnetic (EM) tools function by creating and detecting electrical currents that flow on conductive utilities such as metal conduits, sheaths or wires running along buried utilities. Unfortunately, many buried utilities are not locatable through this method simply because they are not conductive, such as concrete, clay or plastic piping.
To address this challenge, construction practices commonly require tracer wires to be laid out with non-conductive utilities, but this is not always a fool-proof solution. Tracer wire location can migrate over time until it no longer follows the actual utility location, or it can become cut or corroded with age. Tracer wires can also be improperly installed or jointed during repair activities, resulting in a loss of signal during locating activities. GPR solves this challenge because it is able to detect the location and position of contrasting subsurface features. If a project site is believed to contain non-metallic buried utilities, or utilities where tracer wire is faulty, GPR can supplement EM techniques to provide a full and accurate picture of the subsurface landscape.
In Guelph Ontario, GPR was combined with EM to complete a geophysical survey and determine the presence of Underground Storage Tanks (UST) along with associated piping. As it is common at old tank sites to find abandoned, fully buried piping as well as non-conductive fibre glass pipes and tanks, GPR was used to detect assets in the project area where connection with an EM tool was not an option. By combining the two technologies, the position and depth of a UST was determined along with subsurface features showing a corresponding frame and metal gating. Utilities and piping within the project area were also located and mapped. Results of the GPR survey were presented as detailed compilation plan maps at different depth levels, in sectional views, and as colour contour maps.
Because of its ability to locate the "un-locatable", GPR is also an asset on projects requiring Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE): a complex engineering practice that combines multiple technologies and techniques to accurately map and designate buried utilities to assist with utility coordination and relocation at the design phase of a project. Governed by standard guideline CI-ASCE 38-02, SUE is comprised of four components known as "Quality Levels" that include records research and data reconciliation; observing above ground features that indicate buried utilities; using a range of geophysical equipment to locate buried plant; and performing test pits to confirm the depth and position of buried utilities. The data gleaned from this process is leveraged to identify potential conflicts which are then documented in a Utility Conflict Matrix and incorporated into the design and project planning.
SUE has also become an essential component of the design phase for large Rapid Transit projects across the country. As these projects are often built through highly congested areas, both above and below ground, one of the most complex challenges involves accurately locating existing utilities and discerning whether the utility can be accommodated or if it must be relocated. SUE closes this gap by providing a standardized process to verify utility records and gauge completeness.
For the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT), GPR was applied to map underground utilities and identify conflicts in order to assist with design services for bored tunnels, cut and cover structures, Emergency Exit Buildings, tunnel crossing passages, tunnel boring machine launch shafts and extraction shafts. The project was completed in two Phases: Phase 1 involved the physical delineation of storm and sanitary sewer systems, along with water valve surveying and Phase 2 involved designating and mapping locatable underground utilities across the LRT project area.

Ohio Supreme Court Takes Step to Limit a Retailer's Liability for Motorized Cart Accidents in Ohio
Retail, Hospitality, and Entertainment Facilities Liability - Winter 2019/2020 Newsletter
Many retailers provide motorized mobility devices for use by customers who suffer from mobility impairments. And with the growing senior citizen population, the use of these motorized carts in retail stores is likely to increase. While these motorized devices are a beneficial – if not necessary – courtesy for customers, they may expose businesses to potential liability in the rare circumstance when a motorized cart driver causes injury to another customer. While authority in Kentucky and Indiana on this issue is sparse, the Ohio Supreme Court recently clarified the liability of retail stores for injuries caused by motorized cart collisions in Rieger v. Giant Eagle, Inc., 2019-Ohio-3745, finding Giant Eagle was not liable for injury to one of its customers caused by another customer driving a motorized cart.
In Rieger v. Giant Eagle, Inc., Barbara Rieger, a Giant Eagle patron, filed suit against the grocery retailer after she was injured by a motorized cart operated by another customer, Ruth Kurka. While Rieger settled her claims against Kurka, Rieger's claims against Giant Eagle proceeded to trial. At trial, Rieger sought to prove that Giant Eagle was liable for both negligence and negligent entrustment. She presented evidence that Kurka had been diagnosed with dementia prior to the incident and never received training on how to operate Giant Eagle's motorized carts. She also presented evidence that there were no operational instructions or warnings on the motorized carts, that Giant Eagle just assumes that individuals who use the carts know how to operate them, and that 117 incidents involving motorized carts occurred at Giant Eagle stores between 2004 and 2012. The jury found Giant Eagle liable for negligence and negligent entrustment and awarded Rieger $112,500 in compensatory damages and $1,198,000 in punitive damages. Giant Eagle appealed.
After the Eighth District Court of Appeals affirmed the jury's finding of negligence and negligent entrustment, Giant Eagle appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court. Giant Eagle argued, in pertinent part, that the standard of negligence imposed by the trial court amounted to strict liability because it eliminated the need to prove that the store's negligence caused the accident. Giant Eagle also argued that basing liability on the previous 117 dissimilar motorized cart incidents at other Giant Eagle locations rendered Giant Eagle an insurer for such accidents. Rieger argued that Giant Eagle should have taken steps to protect her from the negligence of other patrons using the motorized carts.
Ultimately, the Ohio Supreme Court found that Rieger failed to present any evidence at trial to establish causation, i.e. to show that had Giant Eagle properly instructed Kurka on how to operate the motorized cart, the accident would have never happened. Rieger also failed to present any evidence that the cause of the prior 117 accidents was due to motorized-cart drivers' lack of training or instruction. Because there was no evidence that Giant Eagle's lack of instruction and training caused the accident, Giant Eagle could not be liable for negligence as a matter of law.
The Supreme Court also held that Rieger failed to establish the essential elements of a negligent entrustment claim. To establish a claim of negligent entrustment of a motorized vehicle, Rieger had to present evidence that the motorized cart was operated with permission of Giant Eagle, that Kurka was incompetent to drive the motorized cart, that Giant Eagle knew that Kurka was incompetent to drive the motorized cart, and that the entrustment caused Rieger's injury. Even though Kurka had been diagnosed with dementia prior to the accident, there was no evidence that her dementia rendered her incompetent to operate the motorized cart, that Giant Eagle knew about Kurka's dementia, or that the dementia was a contributing factor to the accident. In the absence of such evidence, the Court held that Rieger could not prove negligent entrustment as a matter of law. Consequently, the Ohio Supreme Court reversed the Eighth District and entered judgment in favor of Giant Eagle on both claims.
In an earlier similar case, Ohio's Second District Court of Appeals reached the same conclusion. In Johnson v. Wal-Mart Stores East, L.P., 2014-Ohio-2998, the Second District held that Wal-Mart had no duty to warn its customers of the danger of motorized cart collisions. A customer using a motorized cart collided at an intersection in the store with another customer who fractured her ankle as a result. Neither customer could see the other coming into the intersection because their view was blocked by a six-foot high display. The injured customer argued that Wal-Mart owed its customers a duty to warn motorized-cart users of the dangers inherent in their use, and to warn other customers in the store of the danger presented by the use of motorized carts. The court, however, held that Wal-Mart owed neither duty to its customers.
First, the court reasoned that even though neither customer could see the other entering the intersection, blind intersections in stores are common occurrences. Both customers knew they could not see whether someone else was entering the intersection at the same time. Consequently, the court found that the danger of a collision or near-collision in a blind-intersection in the store was not a hidden-danger, since both customers knew there was some risk that someone else could be entering the intersection at the same time. Even more, the injured customer knew that Wal-Mart provided motorized carts for its customers' use, so she knew there was a risk that someone with a motorized cart could enter the intersection at the same time.
The injured customer also argued that Wal-Mart had a duty to instruct customers on the proper use and operation of motorized carts. However, the Court declined to impose this duty on Wal-Mart when there was no evidence that a lack of instruction or improper use caused the collision. While running into another customer could be considered an improper use of a motorized cart, no cart-user would need to be instructed that he or she should not run into other customers with a motorized cart. Any reasonable customer would know not to run into other customers without having to be instructed so.
And finally, the injured customer argued that the trial court should have allowed the issue of causation to go to the jury. But the court disagreed, explaining that an issue of fact should go to the jury only when there is some evidence of the fact. Because the injured customer presented no evidence that any failure on Wal-Mart's part to instruct customers on the use of motorized carts caused the collision, dismissing the action on summary judgment was appropriate.
A common dispositive issue in both the Rieger and Johnson cases is that the plaintiffs failed to produce sufficient evidence that had the stores instructed patrons on how to use motorized carts, the collisions would not have occurred. Because causation is an essential element of both negligence and negligent entrustment, a plaintiff cannot prevail without proving that a store's alleged negligence caused the accident. A more problematic situation could arise where a plaintiff can show that a collision was caused by the motorized-cart driver's lack of instruction on how to operate the motorized cart. But the Second District in Johnson appeared to find that the injured patron more properly bore the risk of potential motorized-cart collisions. Indeed, the court considered that the injured patron should have been aware of the risk of a collision when she knew that the store offered motorized carts to its customers. The Second District essentially equated this fact, along with the fact that blind intersections are common occurrences in stores, with the "open and obvious" doctrine. Under the open and obvious doctrine, a premises-owner owes no duty to visitors regarding dangers that are "open and obvious." While there is little law in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana on this issue, other states, such as Georgia and Virginia, have obviated retailers of a duty to ensure that patrons know how to use motorized carts or are competent to drive motorized carts. As such, there remains a possibility that even if a plaintiff can prove causation, a court could still find that there is no duty to protect patrons from motorized-cart collisions in the first place.
Another problematic issue may arise under a claim for negligent entrustment as to the extent to which retailers need to investigate whether their patrons are incompetent to operate a motorized cart. As discussed above, a plaintiff must present evidence of the motorized-cart driver's incompetence and of the retailer's knowledge of the driver's incompetence. Because interrogating customers about their disabilities, especially mental disabilities, is prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is unlikely that a retailer would or even should have knowledge of a patron's incompetence. The ADA also requires that retail establishments allow disabled customers to access their store with motorized wheelchairs and other similar devices, such as motorized scooters. As such, it would likely be a rare factual circumstance for a retailer to be held liable based on a theory of negligent entrustment.
While the Ohio Supreme Court recently took a step towards limiting the liability of retailers for injuries caused by motorized carts, the "right" facts could still give rise to liability. If you have questions regarding the use of motorized carts in your establishment, please contact any member of our Retail, Hospitality, and Entertainment Facilities Practice Group.

TAO_END_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL


The AFS Polar Bear is a cold climate or winterized version of the standard AFS Mk2. It also mounts an improved laser and larger external fuel tanks. The Polar Bear first appeared in the Play Online gaming magazine stories which were later complied into the MaK B.D. Manual.
This Polar Bear was built for the MaK Forums 30 Days of Mak Challenge. The idea was to build a MaK kit straight out of the box with no modifications at all. Sure, we all want to add the missing wires, replace the awful PE joints, and add the missing weld details, but not this this time.
Below is the build diary for the model.
The most challenging part so far has been the PE joints for the arms and legs. The parts have a mold seam and the material doesn't sand very well. I ended up having some success with removing the seam by polishing it out with a cloth wheel chucked in the Dremel and some polishing compound.
With my Iwata Hoseless, I was able to airbrush sharp lines with out masking.
Decals are mostly from the Polar Bear kit but I used a few red warning stencils from an AFS Mk1. Thanks for the silvering Mk1. The base is a piece of clear acrylic tube with a chunk drilled and broken out to add some interest. Rocks are pieces of tree bark and ground work is plaster and sand over a chunk of pink foam.
Even with two good shots of HS, the paint still stuck like glue in some spots. I even ran the area under very hot tap water and nothing. More white than I wanted, so some touch ups are needed. I'm going for a very worn out white wash.
Considering I don't paint faces all that often and this is the first ethnic face I've painted, I'm pleased. I also just didn't want to spend any more time on the face. What you see here took me about an hour once I got the base color dialed in. Base color is Chocolate Brown + Brown Sand 3/1. I added more Brown Sand for highlights, then switched to Basic Skintone for the lightest. For shadows I added Camo Black Brown and a little Black. The lower lip is a thin glaze of Red Tail Light.
I cleaned up a few spots on the white wash with Vallejo and Tamiya Acrylics applied with a small brush or torn foam. To even out the colors, I applied MIG Filter P400 Grey for Dark Yellow. This toned down the contrast and started dirtying the white. This was set to dry overnight. I then applied a second filter of the same gray and let that dry. I used MIG Neutral and Dark Wash to accent panel lines. When these were dry, I started scrubbing in straight oil paints with and old clipped brush. I then used an #2 round just moist with thinner to bland in ad move around the oil paints. The dirt on the glazing is straight oil paint.
The model was worked over with more oil paints and washes. The groundwork is Matt Gel Medium mixed with sand and root litter. Once dry the base was masked off and airbrushed Flat Earth for the dirt and Sky Gray for the rocks. I did some touch ups with Vallejo Acrylics and then added a dark oil wash to accent the details. The rocks were drybrushed on the edges and the whole thing was then misted with very thin Tamiya Deck Tan to cut down on the contrast. I then drybrushed the highest highlights and add a couple more oil washes for accents.
The snow was a two stage process. I first mixed Acrylic Gloss with microballoons to make a paste that was sculpted over the groundwork. When this was dry, I brushed a generous amount of Acrlic Gloss over the snow and sprinkled on Woodland Scenics Snow.I did this a couple of times to get the desired opacity and buildup. I then dabbed Vallejo Gloss on the groundwork to represent areas of melting snow.
Mud was mixed up with MIG Acrlic Gel, Plaster, and MIG Pigments. This was mixed to a dry pasted an jabbed onto the model. When dry, I went back with a Black and Dark Brown wash to darken some areas to look like fresh mud.
I'm very pleased with the final reslut. These kits can build up pretty nice straight out of the box.

Q: Порядок выполнения функций в PHP Всем привет. По запросу "порядок выполнения", интернет показывает статьи с арифметическими действиями. А я хочу узнать, в какой последовательности выполняются действия над переменной. Например:
strip_tags(html_entity_decode(mb_strtolower($elem['description'], "UTF-8")))

По сути, меня интересует, выполняется слева направо (снаружи), или справа налево (изнутри).
В идеале: ссылку на официальный источник, сам "не смог найти / не захотел". :)

A: Все функции всегда исполняются изнутри (справа налево). Ведь, если подумать, чтобы выполниться внешней функции, ей нужен результат выполнения вложенной.
Следовательно в строке
strip_tags(html_entity_decode(mb_strtolower($elem['description'], "UTF-8")))

Сначала выполнится mb_strtolower, затем html_entity_decode, и последней strip_tags

A: strip_tags(html_entity_decode(mb_strtolower($elem['description'], "UTF-8")))

выполняется в следующей последовательности:
mb_strtolower -> html_entity_decode -> strip_tags

A: Владимир дал исчерпывающий, но короткий ответ. поскольку моя правка не принята, а комментировать не могу, напишу как ответ, поскольку даже не принятые ответы все же читают и может это дополнение будет полезно начинающим.
для лучшего понимания в будущем для всех вложенных функций полезно отметить, что слева сама функция, а справа в скобках ее аргумент. И результат выполнения внутренней функции будет аргументом для следующей внешней. Следовательно, начиная просмотр справа на лево с самых вложенных скобок в строке
strip_tags(html_entity_decode(mb_strtolower($elem['description'], "UTF-8")))
Сначала выполнится mb_strtolower, затем html_entity_decode, и последней strip_tags при условии что никакая из них не вызовет исключение из-за несоответствия аргумента, которым может быть как первичный аргумент, так и очередной результат работы вложенной функции. так же нельзя не учитывать, что при не соответствии аргументов функция может вернуть значение по умолчанию, и это значение будет передано следующей в качестве аргумента.

Q: Blueimp plugin with angular : preview image on the web page I have a feature that allows my client to design his own personal portal, I would like to allow my user to preview a picture from his computer prior to uploading it to the server.
is it possible?.
No docs, and no result on Google, if anyone wonders why am I asking such an allegedly stupid question.
IMPORTANT: I am using this library since it has support for some deprecated browsers such as IE 8-9, hence I need a solution that can work without file API, or a good reliable file API fallback for old IE versions.


and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Read . . . ..'gathereth' ….. mentioned in the Holy Bible (KJV)..
I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read "The Holy Bible" KJV, the following verses were given in the context of "stick".
they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
and unto all the congregation.
1Ki 17:10 So he arose and went to Zarephath.
that we may eat it, and die.
2Ki 6:6 And the man of God said, Where fell it?
And he shewed him the place.
and the iron did swim.
that they cannot be sundered.
it is become like a stick.
and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
and they shall become one in thine hand.
and they shall be one in mine hand.
shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
and fastened on his hand.
