Home Humanities House The Value of a Traitor
The Value of a Traitor
Caleb Zimmerschied November 15, 2013 January 9, 2014
Last Friday, the Humanities House hosted members of the Latino Writers Collective from Kansas City. José Faus, Gabriella Lemmons, and Miguel Morales spoke about diversity and read some amazing poetry. It was awesome to hear so many references to my hometown, KC, and each of the writers offered different perspectives and advice about life and writing careers.
The humanities always get criticized for their lack of "practical application." It's tempting for us to act like we're above practicality, and there is a lot of merit to the idea that the study of "what does it mean to be human?" should be an end in and of itself– hopefully it's not too hard to figure out why– but we shouldn't sell ourselves short; the study of human life from a non-objectifying standpoint offers an abundance of experiences and lessons that, wouldn't you know it, carry over into human life itself.
The poetry of the LWC was a shining example of this. Their poems offered a range of new perspectives that the average Drury student, and probably many residents of Springfield, would not encounter in their daily lives. They helped show us what it was like to grow up poor and working the land in the Rio Grande Valley for barely enough money to get by. We learned some the different ways "chingaso" could be used, we heard about dancing with spirits on Dia de Los Muertos, and we heard about lots of different food, from traditional Hispanic dishes, to loving Jewish food, and drawing a map of Kansas City by following the diverse restaurants around town: barbecue, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Italian, Mediterranean, African, Mexican, Indian, and more.
While I was showing the writers around Drury, Gabriela noticed one of Dr. Schur's posters advertising his new Literature and Ethics class. The poster read, "CAN LITERATURE MAKE US BETTER PEOPLE?" Gabriela pointed and laughed, saying, "Oh, of course it can!" It was the most obvious thing in the world to her– of course literature makes us better people. And yet, it's not so obvious to some. If it was, Dr. Schur wouldn't have had to tape up these obnoxious posters all over the place.
One poem the collective read to us was written by a police officer from KC who grew up in a gang. After his best friend was killed, he cleaned up and became a cop to help keep kids from following the same path that he found himself trapped in. Even though he knew that he was doing the right thing, he felt conflicted because he came from a neighborhood that had an inherent distrust of the police and other authorities. His poem reflected the conflict of trying to protect his community while also being called a traitor.
The poem contained a reference to "La Malinche," who walked beside the police officer as he patrolled his neighborhood. La Malinche was a woman from the Mexican Gulf who was offered to Hernán Cortés as a concubine when he landed in the "New World". The woman acted as an interpreter for Cortés, and ended up bearing his first son. According to legend, La Malinche closely accompanied Cortés and translated for him in an attempt to broker peace between the conquistadores and the Aztecs and their constituents. She wound up playing a large part in the destruction of the Aztec empire and the subjugation of its people, yet her son, Martín, was one of the first Mestizos, or those of mixed Spanish and Native blood born in Mexico from whom most Mexican people today have descended. She is simultaneously a traitor and the mother of the new peoples of Mexico. She has come to represent many things: motherhood, victims, traitors, and she is sometimes considered to be a precursor to La Llorona, the weeping woman who is condemned to wander the earth looking for her murdered children.
As Dr. Nichols pointed out, this reference added many layers to the officer's poem. That single reference embodied his conflict and symbolized his hope to become a new role model for his community.
This is how literature can make us better people. All artwork is filled with layers upon layers of meaning; in literature, especially in poetry, each word can contain a rabbit hole that can pull you through history or show you the perspectives of other people that you might otherwise never consider. It can help us empathize with traitors and mothers both, and make us pause before passing judgment on either. It can make us hungry. And it can show us how to stop and examine a single word or reference for centuries of meaning that we might have passed over if we were to scrutinize them objectively.

What is already known about this subject: Levetiracetam has shown good safety/tolerability and efficacy in regulatory trials. This was confirmed in observational investigations performed soon after marketing by using continuation or retention rates as a composite measure. When an anti-epileptic drug first becomes available; however, there is evidence of channelling to more severe patients than thereafter.
What this study adds: This study was performed several years after marketing of levetiracetam and found high rates of continuation. It also further explores this measure by determining the continuation in the absence of initiation of additional anti-epileptic drugs.
Aims: To investigate real-life effectiveness of levetiracetam in patients initiating treatment in a stable market situation.
Methods: Epileptic adults who had initiated levetiracetam between 1 January and 31 August in 2005 or 2006 were included and followed for 1 year by hospital or nonhospital neurologists practising in France. One-year continuation rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Among those still treated at end of study, treatment goals were investigated. Factors associated with discontinuation were investigated using Cox proportional hazards regression.
Results: A total of 794 subjects were included in the cohort, and 753 subjects were followed up and included in the analysis. Among these, mean (SD) age was 42.6 (±17.0) years, 51.1% were female, 76.6% had partial epilepsy, 93.5% had seizures in the 6 months preceding levetiracetam initiation and 82.9% had at least one concomitant anti-epileptic drug when starting levetiracetam. One-year levetiracetam continuation rate was 83.5% (95% confidence interval, 80.5-86.0%). Of the 579 patients still using levetiracetam at end of study, 46.8% were seizure free during the last 6 months, and 24% were on levetiracetam monotherapy. Reasons for discontinuation (n= 122) were adverse events (45%), lack of efficacy (38%) or both (9%). Levetiracetam discontinuation was most strongly associated with previous exposure to more than four anti-epileptic drugs, whereas continuation was most strongly associated with presence of seizure-related falls in the 6 months preceding levetiracetam initiation.
Conclusions: This population-based cohort study in a stable market situation found a high 1 year levetiracetam continuation rate compared with previous studies done sooner after market introduction.

Cyprus Major Political Institutions in the "TRNC"
https://photius.com/countries/cyprus/government/cyprus_government_major_political_inst~1463.html
<< Back to Cyprus Government
The institutional framework for the "TRNC" was set out in the 1985 constitution, drafted by the Constitutional Commission and approved by the Constituent Assembly in March 1985 and by a national referendum in May 1985. The constitution was approved by 70.2 percent of the votes cast; opposition to it centered on its retention of capital punishment and certain other provisions deemed too politically restrictive.
Although based on the 1975 document that established the "Turkish Federated State of Cyprus," the new constitution provided for an unfettered independent republic. It made no reference to a federal republic, but Turkish Cypriot authorities consistently pointed to a March 1985 Constituent Assembly vote declaring that the new constitution will not hinder establishment of a federal republic.
The constitution establishes a secular republic based on principles of democracy, social justice, and the supremacy of law. The balance of powers among the governmental branches is flexible, not fixed; the president and the Legislative Assembly both participate in the Council of Judicature, which names, promotes, and oversees the judicial branch. The president and the legislature also share the power to declare war and commit armed forces overseas.
The president, elected for five years, is required to be of Cypriot parentage and have resided in Cyprus for five years. He is the head of state and commander in chief, although the security forces are the responsibility of the prime minister. The president could preside over meetings of the cabinet, the Council of Ministers, but did not have a vote. He also named the prime minister from those elected to parliament, and appointed, in consultation with the prime minister, other ministers, who need not be elected members. The number of ministries was limited by the constitution to ten. In the event of a vacancy in the office of the president, the president of the Legislative Assembly would become acting president.
The Legislative Assembly is a unicameral body of fifty members elected for five-year terms. It enacts laws, exercises control over the Council of Ministers, approves the budget, has authority to give general and special amnesty, decides whether to carry out death penalties imposed by the courts, and ratifies international agreements. Upon an absolute majority vote, the Legislative Assembly could dissolve itself and call for new elections. Under certain circumstances, the president could also dissolve the body.
The judicial system established by the 1985 constitution rough by corresponds in several features to the provisions of the 1960 constitution of the Republic of Cyprus. The Supreme Court consists of a president and seven judges, and has jurisdiction to sit as the Supreme Constitutional Court, the Court of Appeal, and the High Administrative Court. As the Constitutional Court it is composed of five justices, and as a Court of Appeal, three. The "TRNC," drawing on the 1960 constitution and on the Turkish and United States systems, provides for challenges to the constitutionality of legislation. The Supreme Court, in its role as High Administrative Court, fulfills the same functions as described in article 146 of the 1960 constitution. The Supreme Council of Judicature, consisting of the Supreme Court, the attorney general, and several other officials, is the exclusive authority for appointments, promotions, disciplinary control, and all other matters relating to the judges of the courts.
There are three categories of lower courts. Assize courts, in the capitals of the three districts of the "TRNC," sit three times a year to try persons convicted of indictable offenses. These courts have unlimited jurisdiction in criminal matters. District courts, also located in the district capitals, have jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters. Family courts, each composed of a single judge, hear and determine actions relating to personal status and religious matters.
For administrative purposes the "TRNC" is divided into three districts, Nicosia (Lefkosa), Famagusta (Gazimagusa), and Kyrenia (Girne), each headed by a district officer (kaymakam), the representative of the central government and subordinate to the minister of the interior. There are twenty-six municipalities, consisting of towns and large villages, each governed by a municipal council and its head, the mayor. Council members and the mayor won their posts in municipal elections, usually held every four years. Candidates in these elections could run as independents or be affiliated with a party. Villages, of which there were about 150, were each governed by a village commission consisting of a mayor (muhtar) and assistants (aza; pl., azalar), also elected for four-year terms. Municipalities usually dealt with the relevant ministry when approaching the national government. Villages usually contacted the district kaymakam when they wished the services of the central government.

Data protection and cyber-risk issues in arbitration: regulation, cyberattacks and hacked evidence
Arbitration & ADR International
GDPR and arbitration
Cyberattacks and institutional responses
Hacked evidence in arbitration
Data protection and cybersecurity are hot topics in international arbitration. A majority of respondents to the 2018 Queen Mary International Arbitration Survey listed "security of electronic communications and information" as an issue which should be addressed in arbitration rules. This demonstrates that users of arbitration are concerned about data security.
While there are signs that the market is listening, users seem to think that institutions, counsel and tribunals could do more to address cybersecurity.
This article examines three aspects of data protection and cybersecurity in arbitration – namely:
the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how it bears on international arbitration;
data breaches in arbitral proceedings and cyberattacks on institutions, as well as the way in which institutions are responding; and
how hacked evidence might appear in arbitration and how tribunals have dealt with this issue.
The GDPR has significantly altered the data protection landscape. Its broad scope and potentially severe penalties have forced those that hold and process data to take note of its provisions. The international arbitration community must be aware of the GDPR and how it affects the arbitral process.
The GDPR applies to 'personal data', a concept that is broadly defined to include any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including an individual's name and address and any online identifier (eg, an email address). The GDPR also has a broad scope of application, reaching entities in the European Union and entities outside the European Union which process the data of EU-based individuals in some contexts. For example, a witness based in the European Union may in some circumstances import GDPR obligations into an arbitration, even if the arbitration is otherwise independent of the European Union.
This wide scope of application is coupled with potentially severe penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of an entity's total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year (whichever is higher) for certain contraventions of the GDPR. These penalties can be imposed per breach – meaning that penalties can quickly escalate.
If the GDPR is engaged, entities that process personal data will be subject to a number of obligations. If an entity is deemed to be a data controller for the purposes of the GDPR, these obligations would include:
identifying a lawful basis to process data;
ensuring that the appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place in order to safeguard the security of processing (including to prevent data breaches to the extent possible); and
not transferring data outside the European Union, other than in certain specified circumstances.
If an entity is deemed to be a data processor rather than a controller, the GDPR contains detailed provisions as to how the processor should process data only on the basis of documented instructions from the controller.
The detail of how the GDPR operates is complex. International arbitration practitioners should be aware that the GDPR may be relevant to their arbitration, regardless of whether they are located – or the arbitration is seated – in the European Union.
In July 2015 the Permanent Court of Arbitration's (PCA's) website was hacked during an ongoing maritime border dispute between China and the Philippines. Malware was implanted on the PCA's website, which infected the computers of visitors, potentially exposing them to data theft.
The attack on the PCA illustrates the risk faced by arbitral institutions. Parties in arbitration can be called on to disclose sensitive material to prove their case. While in many jurisdictions it is assumed that arbitration will be cloaked in confidentiality, cyberattacks have the potential to seriously undermine this.
The arbitral community is responding to this risk. The most prominent example is the draft Cybersecurity Protocol for International Arbitration, which was published in 2018 by the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA), the New York City Bar Association and the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution. The protocol is intended to apply in particular cases, either by agreement of the parties or order of the tribunal. Once adopted, the protocol gives a tribunal the power to determine what security measures are reasonable for the case, taking into account the views of the parties. Such measures should account for, among other things:
the transmission of materials;
communication between arbitrators;
the storage of information; and
data security.
Importantly, the protocol makes clear that cybersecurity is the shared responsibility of all participants in an arbitration, who must ensure that all personnel involved in the arbitration are aware of – and follow – any cybersecurity measures adopted.
The ICCA and the International Bar Association (IBA) have also established a Joint Task Force on Data Protection in International Arbitration, which will publish practical guidance on the potential impact of data protection principles, including the GDPR.
At an institutional level, arbitral institutions are also addressing the risk posed by cyberattacks. The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Rules, which entered into force on 1 November 2018, specifically include "any secured online repository that the parties have agreed to use" as a recognised means of communication. The London Court of International Arbitration also intends to revise its 2014 Arbitration Rules and is considering adding new provisions on data protection and cybersecurity. Data protection is an area ripe for reform in the arbitration context and users expect arbitral institutions to be at the centre of the effort to address it.
A related issue which is appearing more regularly in arbitration is the attempted use of evidence obtained through cyberattacks or data breaches. This issue has arisen most predominantly in investment arbitration. For example, in both the Yukos and ConocoPhilips/Venezuela disputes, the parties sought to rely on evidence obtained from WikiLeaks.
Arbitration rules typically afford broad discretion to tribunals to decide evidentiary issues. For example, Article 27(4) of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Rules provides that the "arbitral tribunal shall determine the admissibility, relevance, materiality and weight of the evidence offered". Article 9(2) of the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitrations permits tribunals to exclude evidence on grounds of either "legal impediment or privilege under… legal or ethical rules" or "special political or institutional sensitivity".
In ConocoPhilips the tribunal was asked to reopen its earlier decision on jurisdiction in light of information contained in hacked emails published by WikiLeaks. The majority did not expressly address whether that evidence was admissible, instead finding that it did not have the power to reopen its earlier findings. A dissenting opinion in that case relied on the emails as a basis for reopening the decision, without expressly addressing whether they were admissible in the first place. However, in Caratube International/Kazakhstan the tribunal expressly admitted emails which had been published on WikiLeaks to the extent that such material was not covered by legal professional privilege.
Given the paucity of authority, there is little evidence that a consistent approach to dealing with these issues is emerging. As data breaches become more common, tribunals will be called on more frequently to rule on the admissibility of such evidence. It is hoped that as tribunals engage with this issue, some guidance as to how it might be dealt with will be made available to parties.
Data protection and cyber risk are emerging as important considerations in arbitration. Although the arbitral community and the arbitral institutions are taking steps to address this concern, more needs to be done. As these issues become more common, it is hoped that consistent practices will emerge to reassure users that their data will be secure.

As the sweet cinnamon aroma penetrated the walls of the house we rented at the lake Bariessa last weekend, everyone gathered around the kitchen table: my innocently smiling nephew, who returned from crushing an unsuspecting snail with a heel of his shoe, his sleepy parents who spent half the night soothing their new baby, my kids who just finished practicing for Posturepedic©-bed Olympics…and my husband who never chooses to miss an opportunity to hang out.
On the breakfast menu is baked oatmeal with fresh berries and almonds – a recipe idea I recently picked up in a new book by Heidi Swanson, one of my favorite food bloggers. The dish is warm and comforty, multidimensionaly textured, and sweetly wholesome… Exactly what the soul craves at 8 am on a rainy weekend morning.
This recipe has actually been a pretty good find for our family. Both my hubby and I really enjoy a creamy bowl of steel-cut oats in the morning (or as a post-workout snack… or a late-night craving-tamer …or even a desert) and greatly value it for all its health benefits. Unfortunately for us, our picky son has never shared our enthusiasm for the grain and has actually been somewhat averse to its goopy texture and flavorless personality. Thanks to Heidi, baked oatmeal is now something he asks for often and sometimes even prefers it over pancakes and waffles.
PS. This recipe is a great base. You can pretty much use any combination of fruit, nuts and sweetener and it will come out delicious! I sometimes layer sliced green apples (instead of bananas) on the bottom of the pan, and add diced apple pieces throughout.
Preheat the oven to 375 with a rack in the top third of the oven. Generously butter the inside of an 8-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together the oats, half the almonds, the sugar, the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, the milk, half of the butter, and the vanilla.
Arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 2/3 of the berries over the top. Cover the fruit with the oat mixture. Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple of thwacks on the counter-top to make sure the milk moves through the oats. Scatter the remaining berries and remaining almonds across the top.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is nicely golden and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining melted butter on top and serve. Sprinkle with a bit more sugar or drizzle with maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter although the baked oatmeal is already pretty sweet!
I almost always pour myself a glass of cold Kefir before I dig into a plate of baked oatmeal. The tartness of the drink nicely balances the sweetness of the dish.
Get creative and have fun with your cooking There are so many amazing ways to prepare veggie foods .
Have you ever tried it with Almond milk? It looks very tasty but I am sensitive to dairy and was wondering if almond milk would be the same? Thanks.

Boys Golf Team Records Lowest Score in HCHS History
Graphic from golf.com
Katrina England
Reporter, Hart Co. News-Herald
The Hart County High School Boys Golf Team traveled to Rolling Hills Golf Club in Russellville on Friday, July 29 where they posted the lowest team score in HCHS history.
The team was led by sophomore Zach Sloan with Blake Whorton, Austin Riordan, Brayden Minor, and Luke Gentry all helping to make this lowest score possible. They finished 9th out of 15 teams but were just 10 strokes from 4th place.
"We are very proud of them and all the hard work that is going into the program," said Tammy Sloan, mother of sophomore Zach Sloan. "I'm excited to see them play this season and look forward to a great season."
To begin the golf season, the boys and girls teams started on July 20 at Larue County, where the boys won the annual district cup competing against Green County and Larue County, making this the first time they have won the district cup since 2014. Senior Blake Whorton led all scorers from all schools.
"I love this team," Coach Boyd Rexroat said. "They are on their way to something special. They're not done yet. Lower scores are coming as we have several more tournaments remaining in our season."
The girls team finished second at district cup competition with senior Emma Smith and freshmen Anna Sims and Bevin Minor playing strong rounds to start the season.
"We are so incredibly proud of what the Boys and Girls Hart County Golf Teams have accomplished thus far," said Julie Minor, mother of Brayden and Bevin Minor. "Coach Rexroat and the players have worked extensively over the past few seasons and have developed some great skilled golf players. The most exciting part of the season has just begun!"
The boys competed in their first tournament at Kenny Perry's Country Creek on Friday, July 22 where they finished 12th out of 16 teams but posted a very good team score with Zach Sloan leading the team.
"This team just keeps getting better," said Coach Rexroat. "We may not be able to compete with the Bowling Green schools just yet, but I believe this is the best boys team we have had at Hart County. There's still work to do as we get ready for the region tournament on September 19."
The girls competed at Park Mammoth Golf Resort on August 22 for their first tournament. Both Emma Smith and Anna Sims posted their personal best lowest scores. Coach Rexroat said that with two new players this year, Bevin Minor and Alexa Horton, this will be the first time Hart County has fielded a full girls team for tournament play.
They have three more tournaments scheduled before regional play on September 20.

IEC 1131-1 PDF
There are many ways to look at part 3 of this standard. Just to name a few: • the result of the Task Force 3, Programming. Languages, within IEC TC65 SC65B. Title, CEI/IEC autómatas programables. Parte 1, Información general. Contributor, Asociación Española de Normalización y Certificación. Publisher. IEC is an IEC standard for programmable controllers. It was known as IEC before the change in numbering system by IEC. The parts of the IEC.
Author: Samukree Kagaran
Uploader: Goramar
IEC is the first international standard for process control software. Description of the fundamental concepts of IEC The control algorithm can include reusable entities referred to as "program organization units POUs " which include Functions, Function Blocks, and Programs.
These POUs are reusable within a program and can be stored in user-declared libraries for import into other control programs.
The IEC Standard includes a library of pre-programmed functions and function blocks. Any controller that is IEC compliant supports these as a "firmware" ifc, that is, the code for these is pre-written into a prom or flash ram on the device.
Additionally, manufacturers can supply libraries of their own functions.
Typically, these would also be firmware libraries. An important kec here is that, if a firmware library is used, the device that receives the program must support that library.
Users can also develop their own libraries, which can include calls to the IEC standard library and any applicable manufacturers' libraries. All user-declared POUs, regardless of type, can be written in any of the five languages. Under some circumstances, a POU can have a combination of languages. A function block program, for example, can incorporate ladder diagram logic in it.
IEC-1131 – The First Universal Process Control Language
The general construct of a control algorithm includes the use of "tasks", each of which can have one or more Program POUs. A task can be assigned a cyclic rate, can be event driven, or be triggered by specific system functions, such as startup.
Instruction List is most popular for relatively 1131-11, yet frequently used, algorithms. Assembler language is relatively tedious to program, but is supposedly faster to execute. Structured Text is a Pascal-like language that generally allows greater flexibility, and less tedium, in writing control algorithms.
Typically, a programmer would create his own algorithms as Functions or Function Blocks in Structured Text and use them as callable procedures in any of the five languages. Using Structured text, the code above is written as: This allows graphical representation of logic in a form easily understood by electrical technicians and engineers alike.
AL ISLAM SAID HAWWA PDF
A brief example would be: If this algorithm were to be written in Structured Text, it would be: The Function Block Diagram Language allows control algorithms to be developed graphically by inserting the program units called Functions and Function Blocks into a control program.
These blocks can be called from a library of functions specified by the IEC standard, or can be called from manufacturer-supplied or user-created libraries. These function blocks can be written in any of the five languages, including the Function Block Diagram language again. Inputs and outputs between the blocks are wired graphically using a mouse. Sequential Function charts allow complex algorithms to be executed using a series of "steps" and "transitions". This could be done 131-1 anything within the program.
Complex algorithms can be developed using multiple branching techniques. Also actions can be directed to continue running, run once, or terminate, instead of running continuously. Functions are pre-programmed calculations that accept numerous inputs, but return uec one output.
The Function must be declared as a variable type, can 131-1 created in any of the five languages, and can be used in any of the five languages. It is always referred to by its created name.

The standard library of IEC consists mostly of Functions. A Function, when used, does not consume additional memory. It is simply a procedure call, which uses an existing equation. The following is an example of the Function shown on the previous page, in a Structured Text equation: Function Blocks are pre-programmed calculations that accept numerous inputs, and can return several outputs.
The Function Block can be created in any of the five languages, and can be used in any of the five languages. Any use of a Function Block is referred to as an "instance" of that block. Each instance must be given a name that is unique to the POU in which the block resides. What distinguishes a Function Block from a Function is that each instance contains a unique set of values that are retained with every execution of the instance.
Its purpose is to generate a Boolean pulse the coil "Output" at regular intervals when started by a Boolean variable the relay "Run" going high, and it can be stopped by another Boolean variable the relay "Reset" going high: If shown as a Function Block, it looks like this: If shown as Structured Text, it looks like this: Programs are simply POUs created in any of the languages, which can incorporate unique code, or can include any Functions or Function Blocks, created locally to a Project, or referenced from external Libraries.

These include cold and ic program starts, floating point errors, and stack overflows. Cyclic tasks run at programmer-declared intervals. IEC allows multiple tasks, and these can be assigned priorities from 0 to 31 0 being highest.
All variables used within a project must eic declared, either locally to a POU or globally to the project. Regardless of the type of POU or Language used, all variables must be declared. Additionally, user-declared variable types can be created that are "structures", or combinations of several variable types.
Also, arrays can be created that are combinations of structures. The variable's name can be used in other POUs with no conflict within the project. When a Function or Function Block is created, it must have input and output terminals. Lec that Input and Output variables can be assigned initial values. This declaration would occur in the "System Resource" section of the project.
Once variables have been declared globally, they can then be used in any POU uec being re-declared as "External". Bringing It All Together. IEC is a powerful, flexible, and adaptable standard that includes something for every programming taste and style. Users can create programs in any combination of the five languages, and can develop code as POUs that are re-usable within a project, and can be stored as libraries for use in other projects.

I don't know these guys, but this email made me smile, and I had to repost. I don't smoke, but, unlike so many other Americans, I don't think it's the pestilential stink of the devil, either.
So, Dany Laj, glad to know you're living life on your own terms. Best to you.
I'm like Guy Lafleur – I do everything the hard way. And I smoke.
My band and I have spent the better part of the last six years bringing our high-energy, power-pop mayhem to crowds across the continent. Our brand new single, "Left Right To One," found us branching out from the recording studios we've frequented in our homeland of Canada, and in Rockford, Illinois. Produced at Midwest Sound by Dan McMahon (Bun E. Carlos, Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts), and engineered by Jeremy Koester, "Left Right To One" gives a glimpse into the longstanding, rock 'n roll partnership between bassist Jeanette Dowling and myself.

Dear "The Gift": An Ode to Bruce Springsteen

Dear "The Gift"
An Ode to Bruce Springsteen
In a world of oaths forsaken,
In a time of prophets bought and sold,
To the faithful along the avenue
You offered a gift of the purest gold.
Politician declares, "So help me God,"
Priest proclaims, "Let no man put asunder."
But your whispered sweet sounds,
Were a bond sealed with thunder.
At once a stranger and yet a friend,
At once young and always old,
Singing the silent song of our souls,
Like that between mute lovers in the cold.
Now years are dissolved into dust,
Into the wind, into the mist.
Meaning made deep by memory,
Like a lover long and tenderly kissed.
You might have gone forever home,
You might have instead quietly slept,
Leaving us alone, betrayed and broken.
But you proved the gift a promise kept.
You proved the gift a promise kept.
Review: Barry Weinberg – Samsarana
On January 18, 2018 By NickIn progressive rockLeave a comment
Fresh from the warm South Florida, comes a prog rock veteran Barry Weinberg, with his debut album "Samsarana" dropping January 25th.
The fifteen-piece musical beast of a debut appears very much ready to stand next to plethora of amazing albums that the genre gave birth to over the years.
After short and atmospheric intro titled "Conception," forward comes "Creation" leading off with a very Floydian feel and with a full sized chorus following all verses, it seems there may be an easy ride ahead for more cautious listeners. "Welcome to my World" is a laid-back stripped down acoustic piece with Weinberg's voice over leading to "This Vicious Circle," which sees Weinberg's circling melody wash over the pebbles and steal away the shoreline behind, whereas "Come Out and Play" is a groovy and funny little piece.
"Beyond the Astral Sky" kicks in through a silent verse, attacking with a slightly alternative-flavoured chorus, and some sharp instrumentation, before the leviathan-sized hook belonging to "Taking it All" take things to a further level, with occasional hard rock sprinkle. We hear the same good work kept up through "Endless Sea" and "A Passage of Time," the latter ringing the Genesis influence.
After another instrumental interlude "Perception," "You Cannot Burn the Fire" comes as, arguably, the heaviest piece, incorporating heavy metal riffing and evil-flavoured singing. "Come My Way" brings in the folk element, while the following "The Way" comes with a steady pace, making for one of the highlights.
"Samsarana" is an absolutely accomplished piece of playing, writing and performance that should see the genre pushed out of its confines.
"Samsarana" is out on January 25th; pre-order it from Barry Weinberg's official website.

An Angry Ted Nugent, 1977
On February 3, 2017 February 3, 2017 By bradbirzerIn progressive rock1 Comment
I post the following not to start any kind of war against Nugent or any internet dog piling. I did, however, find this absolutely fascinating.
As some of you know, I'm a professor by profession. At the moment, I'm writing an intellectual biography of a very interesting sociologist, Robert A. Nisbet (1913-1996). In my research, I came across this quote from Ted Nugent. It was, by the way, next to a quote by Irving Kristol about Robert Nisbet.
If the punk rockers think they're so punky with the pins in their face, I'll show 'em my nine millimeter, put a couple of slugs in their chest and let's see how punky they think that is.–Ted Nugent, quoted in THE REGISTER (November 17, 1977), F5.
I guess some things never really change.
Ghost Community: The Unceasing Brilliance of Matt Cohen
On July 13, 2016 July 13, 2016 By bradbirzerIn progressive rock1 Comment
A review of Ghost Community, CYCLE OF LIFE (2016).
Tracks: Rise Up; Mirror Lakes; Anything and Everything; Blue December Morning; Ghost Community; and Cycle of Life
Ghost Community: Jake Bradford Sharp (drums); Matty Cohen (bass); Moray Macdonald (keyboards); Simon Rogers (guitars); and John Paul Vaughn (vocals).
Imagine if Styx hadn't gone down the AOR and pop road in the second half of the 1970s, but instead had remained deeply embedded in the prog tradition of the early part of that decade.
Imagine, for just a glorious moment, that we remembered Styx not for KILROY WAS HERE, but rather for CRYSTAL BALL and EQUINOX? Then, throw in some British rockers to replace the ones from Chicago. Then, add the perfectionist and never-wavering mighty bassist and Welshman, the brilliant and steadfast Matt Cohen.
What you might find yourself with is a little piece of perfection in a rather dreadfully fallen world.
And, thus, you'd hold in your hand, Ghost Community's CYCLE OF LIFE.
From the opening note to the closing one, Ghost Community is nothing if not utterly earnest. I'm not sure if everyone in the prog community would classify this as strictly prog—but, then, really, what is? The more unclassifiable the better—at least to me, when it comes to art as well as to individual human lives.
I must admit a bit of bias here. I have rather proudly enjoyed the friendship of Matt Cohen (though, strictly through the internet) for many years, and I find him to be one of the most compelling artists of our day. He loves to rock, he loves to get things exactly right, and he possesses the will power of ten great men. No matter what life throws at him, Cohen NEVER sits down and he never wallows. He thinks, and he acts. And, the world is so much better for it.
He's also one incredible bass player.
As I listen to this album, I can't help but feel immense satisfaction. It's full of intensity and enjoyment. There are great lyrics, great playing, great flow, great engineering, and great production. There's nothing more to desire. At one level—hence, the comparison to early Styx—the album is rather obvious and straightforward. Upon several listens, however, especially when paying attention to the lyrics, several more layers emerge—all quite subtle and nuanced. My guess is that even a decade of listening will still reveal more nuances.
This is an intelligent release, an excellent contribution to the current wave of prog rock. Maybe more rock than prog, it's a delight.
"Light up, everybody."
THE QUEEN IS DEAD: 30 Years Later
On June 16, 2016 June 16, 2016 By bradbirzerIn progressive rock4 Comments
Wait, that doesn't look like the queen. Yes, the subtlety was lost on me when I was 18.
Amazingly, THE QUEEN IS DEAD came out thirty years ago today. For me, it was that magical time between graduating from high school and heading off to the University of Notre Dame. I spent that summer of 1986 dreaming of college, working as an overnight DJ at a local radio station, and rather madly chasing around a young woman (who is now, thankfully, happily married and living in central Kansas).
Strangely, though, THE QUEEN IS DEAD did not inspire or trouble me once that summer. For whatever reason, I completely missed its release.
It wasn't until I arrived at Notre Dame that a great friend (and now an extremely famous philosopher) introduced me to THE QUEEN IS DEAD. From the first listen, I was bowled over. Being rather partial to prog rock, I didn't cotton easily to non-progressive music. Yet, there was something in THE QUEEN IS DEAD that captured my imagination. There was a wit, a whiny intelligence, a reference to some of my favorite writers, and a strange cynical romanticism that pervades the whole album that tugged at my soul.
With Morrissey, I wanted to walk the cemetery gates, and I knew that there was a "light that never goes out" when it came to that Kansas girl I chased for almost two years.
I felt sorry for the Queen and for Prince Charles, of course, but I chuckled about the vicar, and I thought I knew a Bigmouth, here or there.
Thirty years ago. Amazing. It could've been yesterday.

Attic Theory are preparing to unleash their debut EP
(ThunderGun Records)
Combining former members of Matchstickmen, Rain May Fall and Limehawk, Liverpudlian groove rock sextet ATTIC THEORY are preparing to unleash their debut EP, 'The Sign Of An Active Mind'.
Crowned 'Best New Band' at Planet Rock Radio's 'The Rocks 2020' awards, Attic Theory's sound combines low-slung, grunge-affected melodies with groovy, pulsating rhythm, powerful vocal presence and the overall charm of good old fashioned rock 'n' roll.
Following the successful release of two singles, 'My Own Design' and 'Your Light', the band are hurtling towards their highly anticipated debut studio offering, which will release via the band's own record label, ThunderGun Records.
Recorded at the Motor Museum Recording Studios and produced by Loïc Gaillard (Revival Black, Ashen Reach), 'The Sign Of An Active Mind' seethes with roaring vocals, beautifully ingenious melodies, thunderous guitars and relatable lyrical content that explores themes of manipulation, humanity's natural "fight or flight" instinct and - to some degree - the darker side of humanity.
PRE-ORDER 'THE SIGN OF AN ACTIVE MIND'
The EP's title was chosen to reflect Attic Theory's creative process, as vocalist Lewis Wright explains:
"We work as one, as a collective mind, a hive mind. It's how we develop our signature. We draw inspiration from the chaos of the world and harness our combined energies to write each song. We write songs we all like and songs we all feel."
Since forming in late 2017, Attic Theory have performed a selection of high profile support slots for The Soapgirls, Saving Abel, Psycho Village, Tragedy, Derange, Elvana and Seattle legends Candlebox and have performed at Rock N' Roll Marathons, Biker Festivals and horror and tattoo Conventions across the country. The band toured with Elvana (Elvis fronted Nirvana) at a variety of O2 Academy venues and also hit the road with American Rockers, Tantric across the UK and Europe.
In addition, each member of Attic Theory boasts a healthy back catalogue of prominent gigs over the years - opening for acts such as Electric Six, The Quireboys, INME, Uli Jon Roth, Diamondhead and more.
The result of this experience - 'The Sign Of An Active Mind' - throws reins around the concept of "strength in numbers", offering a synchronisation of musical minds, pooled together to create a towering and impactful collection of songs.
Attic Theory's debut EP 'The Sign Of An Active Mind' will release on Friday 27th November via ThunderGun Records, and is available to pre-order and pre-save now via this link. You can check out more from the band via their website and Spotify.

Tetra Pak India, is trying to tackle the higher input costs on account of the Rupee volatility, by working on improving its internal efficiencies and achieve higher economies instead of an outright price increase to maintain its operating margins.
The company hasn't increased the price of its for the six-layered aseptic package in last four years, instead relied more on improving internal efficiencies in production as well as increase its sales. On the other hand, cheaper Chinese imports of aseptic packages are also hurting the company's operations in India. And imports from China are getting an import duty reduction, Tetrapack is losing competitiveness because of this.
6 per cent GST is levied on the aseptic packaging paper and sources claimed that Chinese aseptic imports enjoy a three per cent duty waiver.
According to Ashutosh Manohar, managing director of South Asia markets at Tetra Pak India, there is tremendous cost led pressure now and in the coming six months at least operating margins will remain under pressure. But the company is working on improving internal efficiencies to combat higher production costs.
Although, the firm sources its raw materials from domestic companies, around 60-70 per cent of its raw material used to make the 6-layer tamper-proof packaging is imported.
On the technological innovation front, the company is evaluating the possibility of bringing in digital printing technology in its Indian operations which it believes can be a disruptor in the packaging industry as it will help curtail costs and offer the company more flexibility in designing and printing.
In case it fructifies finally, it can potentially be the second major investment by the company in India – the last being its Rs. 7 billion plant near Pune which has an installed capacity to roll out 12 billion packs. It is currently testing Dynamic QR Code technology with two of its FMCG consumers in India where the package or product lifecycle can be traced right to the farm origin.
Having presence in more than 160 countries, India, one of the top ten markets for Tetra Pak, contributes around 5-6 per cent of its global sales volume. Every year, it packs 650 million litres of juices and an equal volume of milk spanning across 22 product categories.
Every year, the company has been increasing its sales volume by one billion packs witnessing around 10 per cent growth rate. The total sales from India, which is used primarily by the domestic FMCG companies as well as exported to Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries, stood at 10 billion packs. More than 60 per cent of this sales volume accounts for 200 ml packs.
Around 10 per cent of the production from this factory is shipped to Indonesia, Vietnam and others. South Asia, East Asia and Oceania accounts for 18 per cent of the company's annual turnover. As on January 1, 2018, its sales stood at Euro 11.5 billion.

Debit and credit cards with a 'magnetic strip' most vulnerable to skimming attacks, says Deputy Director FIA
Islamabad, 13 December 2017: Majority of Pakistani banks still using magnetic strips for their debit and credit cards, which are extremely vulnerable to skimming attacks.
In an exclusive interview with Digital Rights Monitor, Chaudhary Abdul Rauf, Deputy Director of FIA dealing with cyber crimes, disclosed that debit and credit cards with magnetic strips, as opposed to their advanced counterparts, the data-chips, are much more vulnerable to skimming attacks.
Talking to DRM correspondent he said that the State Bank of Pakistan has issued directives to all banks to upgrade their cards from magnetic strips to data-chips, which are much more difficult to hack and skim.
"Magnetic strips have become obsolete now, there has been a lot of work on [deconstructing] this technology. There are some banks such as MCB and Bank Alfalah who have already upgraded their cards to data-chips. State bank has issued directives to upgrade the cards by December 2018".
It's important to note here that most Pakistani banks are still using the magnetic strips and while the data-chips aren't 100% hack-proof, they provide a substantially high-level of security to end-users.

Abstract: Insomnia encompasses a difficulty in falling asleep (sleep-onset insomnia) and/or a difficulty in staying asleep (SMI). Several selective serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptor antagonists have been in development as potential treatments for SMI. However, none have shown a sufficiently robust benefit-to-risk ratio, and none have reached market approval. We review the role of the 5-HT2A mechanism in sleep, the preclinical and clinical data supporting a role for 5-HT2A receptor antagonism in improving sleep maintenance, and the status of 5-HT2A receptor antagonists in clinical development. Overall, the polysomnography data strongly support an increase in slow-wave sleep and a decrease in waking after sleep onset following treatment with 5-HT2A receptor antagonists, although it has been more difficult to show subjective improvements in sleep with these agents. The incidence and prevalence of SMI, whether primary or secondary to psychiatric, neurologic, or other medical conditions, will increase as our population ages. There will be an increased need for safe and efficacious treatments of insomnia characterized by difficulty maintaining sleep, and there remains much promise for 5-HT2A receptor antagonism to play a role in these future treatments.
Keywords: 5-HT2A, insomnia, serotonin, slow-wave sleep, wake after sleep onset

Sunlight and Vitamin D: How Much is Enough?
By Daniel Greene - Lifestyles Editor · April 11th, 2019 at 3:43 p.m.
While sunlight is essential for vitamin D production, you might be surprised at just how little is necessary for optimal health.
Living in the Okanagan means living in one of the warmest regions in Canada. Come spring and summer, tourists from around the world flock to our clean lakes and beautiful beaches to bask in the sun. But for locals, all those hours of intense sunlight can come at a cost, including higher instances of skin cancers such as melanoma.
But while rates of skin cancer increase with increased sun exposure, research shows that sunlight is vital for the body's natural production of vitamin D. In fact, many other diseases, such as colon and breast cancer, are actually related to vitamin D deficiency, making a balance of sun protection and exposure an important aspect of healthy living.
But exactly how much sun exposure is enough? At what point does sun exposure become detrimental to one's health?
These are questions that have been debated by scientists for years. And unfortunately, it is a problem that cannot be solved by simply skipping the sun altogether and taking vitamin D supplements instead. Only a small percentage of our body's required vitamin D can be obtained through the foods we eat, meaning that a large portion must be "photosynthesized" in the skin by sunlight. But generally speaking, there are a few ways that individuals living in northern latitudes can strike a healthy balance between sufficient vitamin D production and healthy sun protection.
Throughout the spring, summer, and fall, individuals can achieve healthy vitamin D production by exposing approximately 18 percent of their body to the sun about three times a week for about five minutes (source). Far from prescribing hours of lounging on the beach, this research suggests exposing merely the equivalent of one's hands, arms, and face, and then applying a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for the remainder of the day. What's more, the research suggests short but frequent exposures rather than extended stays in the sun, citing previous evidence that the skin may be better able to repair any damage if exposed for a shorter duration.
While this research proves helpful in creating an actionable prescription for healthy sun exposure, the researchers themselves admit that there are challenges involved in recommending any amount of sun exposure to the general public. Factors such as skin colour, genetics, and geography all play a role in determining healthy levels of sun exposure, meaning what may be healthy for some could be dangerous for others. Regardless, one thing is certain: frequent and extended periods of time spent in the sun is not necessary for sufficient vitamin D production, so cover up. It could be a long, hot summer.

Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) include tests in Science and Social Studies, and tests in Mathematics and English Language Arts based in part on content originally developed by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers consortium. The PSAT 9, PSAT 10, and SAT, developed by the College Board, are required as well.
For more information about state testing, visit http://www.cde.state.co.us/assessment.
The following are the assessments required by the State of Colorado and administered by BVSD, as well as their intended purposes:
CMAS Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments are intended to assess ability to communicate effectively, apply math to real-world situations, critically analyze literature and informational texts, and demonstrate problem-solving techniques. (Grades 3-8)
CMAS Science tests are intended to assess mastery of skills and concepts in physical science, life science, earth systems science, and scientific investigations & the nature of science. (Grades 5, 8, 11)
CMAS Social Studies tests are intended to assess mastery of skills and concepts in history, geography, economics, and civics. (Grades 4 & 7, only at sampled schools)
SAT measures academic preparation for success in college. (Grade 11)
PSAT (grades 9 & 10) measures achievement of state academic standards and preparation for the 11th grade college entrance exam selected by the state (the SAT)
Colorado Department of Education tentative dates
Boulder Valley School District 2019-20 testing dates
CMAS assessments are designed to be point-in-time snapshots of what students know and can do in core content areas.
These assessments form a baseline for benchmarking student learning against state expectations, and assist teachers and administrators in knowing how individual students are progressing over time. Scores on tests contribute to a body of evidence for identifying individualized supports needed for each student.
Results are used by schools/districts to inform program, school and district improvement. Having scores for all students makes results more useful for understanding our challenging achievement gaps and monitoring system-wide progress.
The results are also used in the state's accountability system to rate schools and districts. Performance on tests will count towards Colorado school and district unified improvement plan type assignments, and towards other ratings in Colorado's new federally required rating system. Participation counts. Low participation can result in decreased ratings.
The ratings issued by the state and the data collected are used by SchoolGrades.org, US News & World Report's Best High Schools and other organizations to compare different high schools in Colorado and across the country. It can impact the the local and national reputation of our schools, especially with prospective parents who often utilize this information in choosing a school.
Beginning with the class of 2018, Boulder Valley School District began placing SAT college entrance examination test scores on student final transcripts, in accordance with state law. Before a student graduates, BVSD will, if requested, issue a transcript (used in most college admissions) without SAT scores. BVSD will substitute scores from a later SAT administration upon receiving written evidence of higher scores attained at a later administration and a written request to substitute scores. Students and their families may click here for the form to request a transcript without SAT scores, or here for the form used to request that SAT scores from a date later than the Colorado SAT administration be used instead. These forms are submitted to the high school registrar. Per state statute, final transcripts that are available after a student graduates will include SAT scores. SAT scores are usually posted to transcripts beginning in early to mid September of a student's senior year.
Online practice tests are available to familiarize students with the testing environment. In addition to providing an opportunity for becoming acquainted with the kinds of questions that appear on new tests, the practice environment should help students use embedded tools such as text-to-speech.
Links to practice tests:
CMAS Science & Social Studies, Math & English Language Arts/Literacy, Spanish Language Arts
As provided for in state law and district policy, parents may excuse their students from taking CMAS and state college preparatory and college admissions examinations. Contact your principal if you are considering excusing your student from specific state tests, so that you may make an informed decision with regard to the impact non-participation may have on your school and district. This year, our entire focus will be on supporting students as they take the test. As a result, families are asked (though not required) to arrange an excused absence from school on testing days and appropriate alternative activities of their own if their child will not be participating.
The accountability consequence for schools and the district under the new federal component of the state accountability system is that students that opt out will be assigned the lowest performance level score, specifically in math and language arts, in school and district accountability when more than 5% of students opt out. Under the current state model, students who do not participate but are properly marked as an opt out are not counted against a school or district's accreditation. Low participation is noted along with a performance, improvement, priority improvement or turnaround designation. Low participation may lead to a school receiving a designation (e.g., priority improvement) that is not reflective of what the school would have earned if all students had participated.
This allows schools a minimum of 2 weeks to make online testing arrangements.
This year's testing is consistent with last year's. Previously, the Colorado Department of Education reduced total testing time at every grade level except 10th--which then was the shortest testing time of any grade with a state test. The largest reduction was at grade 9, where the much shorter PSAT 8/9 replaced CMAS English Language Arts and Math tests. The reduction at most other grades was about half an hour if we compare to testing that didn't include an English Language Arts field test, and closer to an hour and a half when it did.
Computer-based tests hold the potential for relatively swift delivery of student results, when compared to paper and pencil tests. This year, the district made CMAS test score reports available to parents using Infinite Campus Parent Portal in early August, on the same day CDE made school results available to the public.

Wrongful Death Complaint Joins Growing List of Pradaxa Lawsuits
By: Whitney Taylor Pradaxa
A wrongful death complaint joins Pradaxa lawsuits already assigned to multidistrict litigation (MDL) in Illinois federal court. In this recent case, the plaintiff alleges her husband experienced a brain hemorrhage that led to his death less than two months after beginning treatment with Pradaxa. The plaintiff is now seeking compensation from manufacturer Boehringer Ingelheim for her husband's Pradaxa side effects, pain and suffering and the untimely loss of her spouse.
Pradaxa wrongful death lawsuit alleges drug led to bleeding event
The plaintiff in this complaint, Martha Lesnick, claims her husband began taking Pradaxa on January 17, 2011, for treatment of his "medically necessary blood thinning needs." On March 6, 2011, Robert Lesnick was taken to the hospital with a "sudden neurological event." Upon further examination, it was discovered that Lesnick was suffering from massive bleeding in the brain, referred to in the complaint as an intracerebral hemorrhage. He became unresponsive shortly after the diagnosis and died on March 7, 2011.
The plaintiff asserts that her husband and his doctor were unaware of the risks of Pradaxa side effects at the time he was prescribed and took the drug. Pradaxa was approved by the FDA in October, 2010, to prevent blood clots and stroke in patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Since that time, hundreds of reports of uncontrollable bleeding have been reported by those who took the medication. Despite reports, Boehringer Ingelheim has failed to provide adequate warnings for the drug in the United States, exposing other patients to the risk of serious and even deadly bleeding events while they are taking Pradaxa.
No treatment options for Pradaxa-related bleeding events
When Pradaxa was first introduced to the U.S. market, Boehringer Ingelheim marketed their drug as a safe and effective alternative to the older anticoagulant medication warfarin. According to the marketing material distributed by the company, Pradaxa did not require the dietary restrictions and ongoing monitoring patients on warfarin faced. What the multi-million dollar advertising campaign did not mention was that unlike warfarin, there was no known drug to effectively reverse bleeding events that could occur while a patient was taking Pradaxa.
Since anticoagulant drugs work by preventing blood from clotting, the risk of bleeding while taking the medicine is that much greater. However, patients who begin bleeding on warfarin can be given vitamin K to reverse the effect of the drug. No such reversal agent currently exists for Pradaxa, which results in uncontrollable bleeding in some patients that can lead to severe disability or death. According to this complaint, Boehringer Ingelheim did not provide adequate warning to healthcare providers in regards to this stark difference between the two drugs.
Growing number of Pradaxa lawsuits
By December, 2011, the FDA had received 500 reports of deaths in the U.S. linked to Pradaxa use. In addition, the agency received reports of hundreds of gastrointestinal, rectal and cerebral hemorrhages associated with the drug. Some of those injured patients have filed Pradaxa lawsuits seeking compensation for their injuries and the loss of loved ones. Currently, more than 250 Pradaxa claims are pending in courtrooms across the country, with a large portion of those coordinated in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Illinois. Multidistrict litigation was assigned to this location for the purpose of consolidating early trial proceedings and preventing duplicate discovery and conflicting judicial decisions.
Martha Lesnick's wrongful death lawsuit has been added to the federal MDL. In her complaint, Lesnick is seeking compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $75,000. She lists multiple counts in her lawsuit, including failure to warn, negligence and fraudulent concealment.
