The movement of vehicles and mobile equipment on a construction site present risks to both people and property. A traffic management plan and specialist training are key tools for managing these risks.
We have produced guidance about safely moving vehicles and equipment on construction sites.
This fact sheet provides guidance on traffic control measures to take on construction sites, including identifying the hazards, developing a traffic management plan, control measures, providing worker training and reviewing the control measures.
Moving vehicles and equipment on construction sites can be fatal if not used correctly and safely.
people using and arranging mobile plant inappropriately.
The Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 requires the employer to identify hazards in the workplace and, where a hazard is significant, take all practicable steps to eliminate it.
If this is not possible, they must take all practicable steps to isolate the hazard, and if neither of these options is possible, take all practicable steps to minimise the hazard.
As the elimination of mobile plant hazards is unlikely to be an option on a construction site, hazards must be isolated or minimised by implementing the following traffic control measures.
Identify the traffic hazards in consultation with mobile plant operators and workers before the mobile plant comes onto the construction site.
there is potential for a collision between the mobile plant and people, other plant or objects.
Develop a traffic management plan including control measures to suit the specific requirements of the construction site. The implementation of a combination of control measures is likely to be the most effective means of managing the traffic hazard from mobile plant.
ensuring that workers wear high visibility clothing.
Provide instruction and training on the traffic control measures to all workers and visitors on site.
propose alternative control measures for when the site layout changes.
Refer to the Best Practice Guidelines for Demolition in New Zealand(external link) (section 5.10.2).

As Eagle Counties population ages, more people are looking at a reverse mortgage as part of their retirement financial planning. While not for everyone, a reverse mortgage can be a valuable tool for many.
The way a reverse mortgage works is that, first, you must be at least 62 years of age. You must also have a substantial amount of equity in your home (at least 60-70 percent is the minimum) and if you owe money on your home the loan amount must be below the mid $300,000 range. Increasing property values have certainly expanded the number of homeowners who are eligible and the loan limits have increased slightly this year.
If you meet the above, it might be possible to qualify for a reverse home loan The limits and amounts available also depend on the above factors as well as your property type and current interest rates. Condos in Eagle County are generally not eligible as the project must be FHA approved and few are.
In addition, you must show the ability to financially maintain your home, and be able to pay your taxes and insurance on your own. This requirement can be met with a combination of liquid assets, income and in some cases, setting aside a portion of the loan proceeds in an escrow account. Generally, the older you are the more you can borrow.
The mechanics of a reverse loan are that if you qualify, the new reverse mortgage will pay off your existing loan and you have no more monthly principal or interest payments for as long as you live in the home as your primary residence and do not default on any terms of the loan (which include paying your taxes, insurance and maintaining the home in habitable condition, and a few others). You retain ownership of your home and interest accrues on the loan but is not due and payable until you either pass on or you sell the home. If you have enough equity, you might qualify for a lump sum cash out amount, or a line of credit to draw on over the years.
So let's look at an example. Assume you are 70 years old, and own a home worth $650,000 with an outstanding mortgage balance of $300,000. You would qualify for a payoff of the 1st mortgage and if you elected to go with an adjustable rate you would get a line of credit for approximately $41,000. The available amount on the line of credit will actually grow slightly each year. You would also have the option of a set monthly payment to help with living expenses of $468 for 10 years in lieu of the line of credit.
If you elected a fixed rate you could not get a line of credit but would rather have to take out a lump sum of approximately $36,000.
At such point you either no longer live in the home, or you have passed the home can be sold by you or your heirs and the original loan amount and any other disbursements and the accrued interest will be due and payable. Whatever equity is left in the home goes directly to you or your estate at the closing table. If there is no equity, the remaining balance is forgiven. In addition, in the event you pass while still owning the home and your heirs have a sentimental attachment to the old family homestead, they can purchase the property for 95 percent of the appraised value and any excess owed is written off.
One important thing to remember is that its generally best if both husband and wife are on the reverse mortgage. Eligibility and loan limits though are determined by the age of the youngest borrower. In the event that a reverse mortgage was taken out in the name of the oldest borrower only and that spouse passed the surviving spouse would likely have to pay off the loan to stay in the home. This could create a very real hardship for the survivor.
Reverse mortgages are complex transactions, and borrowers are required to take a short class from an approved counselor before applying. In addition, a good long discussion with a knowledgeable loan originator is helpful as there are different options in terms of closing costs and rates. Not all reverse loans have the same closing costs, and can vary by several thousand dollars. Reverse mortgages can also be used for a purchase transaction.


Home » Lawyers » Who's to Blame for July 2016's Bar Exam Results?
Summary: While bar exam passage rates have improved overall, they are still at all-time lows.
Now that the state results for the July 2016 bar exam have been released, it's time to step away from today's turkey and process what we've learned. Nationally, there has been a slight uptick in scores, which is counter to what was expected so that's a plus. New York, which is notorious for its difficult exam, saw an increase in its passage rate. Texas and Washington, DC also saw a rise. However, there have been drops in some states like California, which have been a cause of concern. This year, their overall pass rate was 43%, compared to last year's rate of 46.6%. New Mexico, which recently adopted the Uniform Bar Exam, saw an even more dramatic dip from last year's 81% pass rate to 68%.
To add more perspective, the average score for test takers is still lower than the past, even if the pass rates are improving.
So who's to blame for the disappointing July 2016 bar exam results? Right now, there are two theories floating around.
The UBE helped some states and hurt others.
Several states have adopted the UBE, and New York and New Mexico have shown that the test has mixed results. New York's test takers improved their bar passage rate from last year by 4% while New Mexico dropped by 13%. One theory is that New York's test got easier while New Mexico's got harder.
"One theory is that graduates did better on an exam focused on New Mexico law, because that's what they're learning in law school. New York results have been improving since it adopted the UBE, but that may be related to the fact that the UBE is easier than the [former] New York bar exam," Denise Roy, co-president of the Society of American Law School Teachers' board of governors, told ABA Journal.
Certain law schools are bringing the numbers down.
It has become an alarming trend for some law schools to lower their admission standards. The number of potential qualified applicants have decreased over the years, so to meet student quotas, law schools have let in students with low LSAT scores or bad grades. This has resulted in a correlation between low LSAT scores and low bar exam results.
"Given that the LSAT profiles of matriculants and of law schools for fall 2013, fall 2014 and fall 2015 are less robust than those for fall 2011 and fall 2012 (the classes that graduated in 2014 and 2015, respectively), one can anticipate that the declines in median MBE scaled scores and corresponding bar passage rates in 2014 and 2015 will continue in July 2016, 2017 and 2018 absent increases in attrition, significant improvement in academic support programs at law schools, or improved bar preparation efforts on the part of graduates," Jerry Organ wrote on the Law Professors Blog Network.
State bars released passage rates on individual schools, and this information shows how some schools can drag down the state bar passage rate average. For instance, Pennsylvania saw its lowest bar passage rate (69.3%) since 2003, according to The Legal Intelligencer, but there were clearly highs and lows. Top tier school University of Pennsylvania had a bar passage rate of 98% for first time takers, for example, while Widener University Delaware Law School had only 48% of its first timers pass. Dean Rodney Smolla of Widener said that this drop was surprising, considering the school had a 74.5% pass rate last year, and that the school was taking steps to determine what caused the change.
Law schools with low passage rates need to be proactive with helping prepare their students to pass the bar exam, and these steps can include changing curriculum or hiring help. Florida's Ava Maria School of Law is a perfect example of how directly addressing the problem works. After a disappointing 2015 bar exam passage rate, the school hired a bar passage director, and this move jumped the school's bar passage rate by 19% in one year.
Why do you think the bar exam passage rates and scores are low? Let us know in the comments below.

The Chief Executive's Statement on the Inauguration of Salma Dam
Publish Date: Jun 04, 2016 Category: Statements
Today is a good day for Afghanistan and a positive and effective step towards growth, development and progress.
Today, with the inauguration of the Afghan-India friendship dam (Salma Dam), the wish of the Afghan people after forty years was fulfilled.
I congratulate inauguration of the dam for all people of Afghanistan and people of India.
The construction work of the dam for the first time had been started by Sardar Mohammad Dawoud Khan a few decades ago, that today came to an end.
Salma Dam completion is an unprecedented and unparalleled move towards Afghanistan's progress and development as well as a clear symbol of friendship between Afghanistan and India.
Afghanistan and India have historical relations and these relations have always been in line with friendship, goodwill and cooperation.
India has always worked for the development of Afghanistan and well-being of the Afghan people and our people appreciate and thank India for its cooperation.
Thus, explicitly, it can be said that each country that wants to make friendship with Afghanistan should model the Afghan-India friendship.
The Afghans will press everyone's hand that extends his hand for friendship, provided that he is honest in his friendship like the friendship of people and the government of India.
The Afghans appreciate those who cooperate with them, while they won't forget those who impose war against them and want to destroy their country.
Inauguration of Salma Dam showed that the National Unity Government considers it seriously, since it plays an important role in the growth and economic development of Afghanistan.
Despite challenges and security concerns in the country, the National Unity Government attempts to end unemployment and poverty in Afghanistan by preparing the ground for economic opportunities and implementation of infrastructure projects.
The National Unity Government stresses that as long as we try, we will win. Accordingly, in the near future, Afghanistan can accompany the convoy of development by strengthening and enhancing its relations with others in different areas.
Afghan-India friendship dam is one of the most important and most vital facilities located in Chisht-e-Sharif district of Herat.
Salma Dam is 20 km long and 7 km wide and has a storage capacity of 640 million cubic meters of water.
It can generate 42 MW of electricity and can irrigate 80 thousand hectares of land.
Building this dam indicates that Afghanistan's waters can be controlled by the National Unity Government and the Afghans have the right to make use of these waters.
Once again, I congratulate the inauguration of Salma dam to all my people and thank India for providing such a suitable ground for opening the dam.
Dr. Abdullah Abdullah
Chief Executive of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan

Insurance or Investment: What Should I Get First?
Many individuals are getting confused whether to get insurance first or investment where their money can have a sustainable return.
This is a financial planning pyramid which contains 3 levels that can be a guide in building our financial wealth. It's important for us to follow a certain path so we can build a strong base, not to be confused and to avoid financial loss along the way.
This pyramid might also be the answer to your question on what to get first between insurance and investment.
This level is all about protecting what you currently have. That includes your life, your health, your income, your family and any other aspects of your life that you want to protect. We manage the risk of losing money in this level so getting insurance (life, health, total disability, etc.) and saving for an emergency fund is highly recommended here.
Clearing out debts is also one way of building a strong and solid base for your financial planning pyramid will be unshakeable and firm.
This level is where you find ways, other than the bank, to grow your hard-earned money and let it work for you. There are many investment vehicles that can definitely suit each of your goals. It is for you to research and study well before putting your money in an investment so as to avoid scams and to put you back again into debt.
Always remember, if someone offers you an investment that's too good to be true, trust your guts.
This is where we make sure that all accumulated assets we have are well protected and were assured that it stays with us and our family. Proper estate planning is very important here so as to avoid legal charges if estate taxes will not be paid by heirs. Life insurance proceeds are one way of paying estate taxes.
Leaving a legacy might result in two things: either good or bad. Good in a sense that you have taken care of everything and made sure that your family would not suffer financial hardship when God calls you home today. And bad in a sense that your family might not continue the comfortable living you've let them experienced when you were still alive because of so much debt or estate taxes to pay.
I had friends who are very interested and eager to start investing their money without a solid financial foundation. As a result, they just opened an account, invested initial amount and until now, was not able to set aside money for investment again because of emergencies in their family like getting sick and losing a job.
This is a downside when you jumped ahead to the second level of the financial pyramid. Your finances will be very shakable and uncertain. It is best to develop a habit of saving first with an emergency fund and insurance, so investment will follow.
What if you can afford to have insurance and investment at the same time?

Is this the BIOS-y raid storing its metadata where it shouldn't? Chipset is a Promise PDC20276.
Of course, there could be a genuine problem with this disk, but I won't know till I've found a replacement CPU / mobo.
It wasn't. Both mirror components mounted fine elsewhere. It seemed juice's age made it incapable of groking 120GB disks, despite the BIOS being reasonably happy with them.

I must confess I wasn't particularly looking forward to last night's concert from the great elder statesman of South African music. This was largely because his most recent album Jabulani – recorded as a tribute to all the township weddings he went to as a child and youth – was marred by sentimentality and a lacklustre production. But then again one obviously shouldn't be expecting the music of a 73-year-old to still be as fired-up as the work he produced in his prime.
However, it quickly became apparent that Masekela wasn't simply here to flog the new album. This is a musician who clearly still likes to have as much fun as the audience who has come to see him. Looking coolly chic and charismatic in charcoal grey trousers and matching shirt, the jazz legend immediately showed he meant business with some nifty dance moves that most men half his age would have had trouble executing. Perhaps a backing band of young musicians keeps Masekela literally on his toes, because he didn't stop moving for two hours. When he wasn't singing or playing the flugelhorn, he was getting half a dozen different notes out of a cowbell or vigorously shaking a tambourine.
I suppose it goes without saying that one of South Africa's greatest living musicians should have a great band, but the 22-year-old guitarist Cameron Ward switched so effortlessly from George Benson-style light jazz, to Congolese soukous, to full-on rock lead, it was hard to take your eyes off him whenever he was playing at full tilt. As was the case when Masekela put the flugelhorn to his lips. His playing was as fluid and supple as his dance movements. He's never been a showy player, hellbent on blasting out as many notes as possible in as short a space of time, so perhaps his laid-back linear style is easier to sustain as an aging musician. But having said that, I don't want to detract from how much power he still exudes, and also how much control when he just wants to make the instrument carry a lyrical melody.
Highlights of the evening included a tense, angular cover version of Fela Kuti's "Lady" and a stirring epic rendition of Masekela's own haunting classic, "Stimela (The Coal Train)" complete with spine-chilling vocalised train whistles and the subtlest of arrangements which put all the focus on the atmospheric spoken-word lyrics.
"You folks are on fire. Are you sure you're not from Soweto?" Masekela asked during a call-and-response interlude in which the audience enthusiastically - and with surprising accuracy - mimicked increasingly complex vocal runs he fired at them. This was a side of the man I hadn't anticipated; the amusing rapport he strikes up with an audience. For example, the Barbican crowd lapped it up when he teased them for their English reserve, in an absurd English accent. So by the time we were entering the final segment of the evening and Masekela shouted "Stand up!", not a single person in the stalls remained seated. At last it was time to play a couple of tunes from Jabulani – fortunately the more up-tempo ones such as the gorgeous, uplifting "Mokoti".
Finally a briefly mention of support act Zara McFarlane. This Dagenham girl with Jamaican roots apparently came late to jazz, her first love being reggae. So it was perhaps unsurprising when she introduced a cover version of "Police and Thieves" by Junior Murvin. However, what was surprising, and also quite thrilling, was that only the vocal melody bore any relation to the original. Yet despite her agreeable voice and an occasional touch of Jill Scott sass about her style, I was less absorbed by the more generic jazz numbers which dominated her set.
Listen to an excellent live recording of "Stimela (Coal Train)"
Your review is spot on. Hugh rocks!

Explorers of Infinity (February 28, Nectar Drop Records) is the latest release from Marti Nikko and DJ Drez. This new collection represents another sonic landmark in the evolving collaboration between these two yogis, artists and lovers. Producing a sound both familiar and ever-fresh, Drez and Marti continue to entangle their talents to create anthemic tracks that linger with the listener long after the song is over.
As fans of Marti and Drez will expect, Explorers of Infinity dances around the world of music. "Jai Sri Radhe" opens the album with a distinctly hiphop feel, with snappy snare hits and a steady hi-hat underlying Nikko's soulful mantra variations. "Nataraja" is pure reggae, guaranteed to infect the brain with sattvic mantras whether or not you can accurately pronounce all the Sānskrit. "Bom Bom Shankara" engages a deep, slow dub-style decorated with jazzy saxophone solos.
Welcome inside the mind of DJ Drez.
Soaring to new heights with his latest solo release, "Alpine Swift," the Sound Ambassador invites us into his world of sonic seduction and sensuality as never before. Perhaps more personal and intimate than any prior release yet at the same time universally accessible and particularly relevant, the legendary LA-based beat maker and vibe-provider has crafted a slick, head-nodding soundtrack for the human experience. This union of seeming opposites is a thread that Drez brilliantly and effortlessly weaves throughout this musical tapestry as he also comingles old school roots with new school sensibility, etheric moods with boomin', earthen, bass frequencies, spaciousness with fullness and even mystery and revelation.
"Alpine Swift" is incredibly thick with mood and feeling and this sultry, palpable aspect makes the album stand out as an instant electronic classic. In fact, Drez has more than upheld his underground handle Dr. Ez as the good Doc is clearly beyond graduate level in synesthesia - the experience of a sense impression through a mechanism other than the one receiving. The first words on the opening track, "Givin You Somthin," make a prophetic declaration that might just be Drez' mission statement - "I feel this sound." Rare is a musician who can truly feel sound. Peerless may be the one who can transmit that experience to the listener. DJ Drez does just that on the self-released gem dropping on June 6, 2016.
Those first words are unique and delightfully foreshadowing as well, in that this album marks the first time ever that Drez steps out from behind the turntables and production side and up to the mic. Whether in sublime sample-like phrases that out-slick today's dopest electronic and hip hop DJs, hooks that you will find yourself singing long after the record ends, and even poetry and rhyme that is profound, personal and mystical, Drez finding his voice for this monumental release will not only wildly please his long-time legions of fans, but will most definitely earn him countless new admirers and beat-bumpers across many musical genres.
With a clear emphasis on a more downtempo electronic sound, soulful wisdom and feel, a confident straddling of the spiritual and material realms and a wicked 808 presence throughout effortlessly links the other sonic modalities, including some of the most bangin' hip hop beats to hit the scene in years (title track "Alpine Swift" and "Out There"). In characteristic Drez style, dub stylings, trap sprinklings and Jahta Beat spiciness subtly dance throughout the release as well.
No journey into the world of DJ Drez would be complete without the powerful voice and presence of his partner-in-crime, Marti Nikko. While technically a solo release, the addition of Nikko's vocal flavorings makes "Alpine Swift" deliciously complete. Her nectar-like vocals, highlights and even duets, pose the perfect complement to Drez' foray into MC'ing, particularly on stand out tracks "Into Space," "Start," and "Light Me Up." Nikko also shines and delivers perhaps the most powerful message of the album on the track "Us," putting everyone on notice, over a slammin' electro hip hop beat, that she and Ez are taking over the airwaves. "Ya' know you heard of us," echoes knowingly through the sound system.
If ya' don't know, now ya' know.
DJ Drez's music has been moving bodies for more than two decades. His sound is an organic blend of mystical hip-hop, reggae roots and Indian raga that has been known to instigate an ecstatic dance party one instant, and soothe a group into a meditative savasana the next.
If you're a fan of Drez, you've undoubtedly noticed the mysterious, seductive voice of Marti Nikko gracing dozens of the albums, tracks and remixes he's released over his prolific career. A longtime collaborator of Dr. EZ (and also, his wife), Nikko steps into the spotlight with her debut album, Dreaming In Sanskrit, from Black Swan Sounds.
Featuring the production and turntable expertise of DJ Drez, it definitely bears his funky signature, but the record is undeniably Nikko-centric. Marti's enticing, fiercely soft voice floats above a diverse collection of musical styles and patterns ranging from dub roots to Indian hymn to Balkan beats and back again, but the unifying thread is a spirit of love and devotion.
