text: 3 Technologies That Could Have Prevented This Summer's Train Crashes Three distinctly different, deadly train accidents happened around the world this summer, but they might have been prevented with technology that already exists. By William Herkewitz Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 3 Tech Three: Puncture-Proof Tankers On July 6, Québécois firefighters responded to a blaze on an unattended freight train. After quelling the flames, the firefighters shut off the engine, which the conductor had left running. Hours later, the freighterwhose air brakes were being fed by the engine when runningstarted rolling downhill, gaining speed, and derailed at the small town center of Lac-Mégantic. The train was pulling tankers brimming with crude oil, many of which punctured and exploded in the crash, killing 47 people. Initially, many onlookers blamed the crash at Lac-Mégantic on faulty air brakes. But the air brakes, which are known to lose stopping power without recharging, functioned exactly as expected. So could better-designed tanker cars have mitigated some of the damage? The freighter at Lac-Mégantic had been hauling the most common tank cars in North America, the DOT-111. "It's known as the workhorse of the tank car fleet here in the U.S.," says Patricia Reilly, a spokesperson for the Association of American Railroads. The tanker isn't specifically designed for any one type of cargo, and "DOT-111 carries all types of commodities, including corn syrup and crude oil," she says. However, after a 2009 derailment in Illinois, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board flagged the DOT-111 tanker as inadequate to carry ethanol and crude oil because of an inability to prevent a puncture in the event of a crash. Beginning in October 2011, although there was no official government request, newly built DOT-111 tankers were upgraded with several features, including "an additional outer layer of steel, and a head shield" for both ends of the car, Reilly says. Currently, around 240,000 DOT-111smanufactured by a handful of companiesare on North American tracks, but most are still the old model. Unfortunately, the Lac-Mégantic train was hauling the old DOT-111's, which hadn't been retrofitted. But Reilly argues that even if the freight train been hauling upgraded tankers, or had the old tankers been retrofitted, the destruction still might have been unavoidable. Given the wild speed of the train, it seems unlikely that even the new DOT-111's would have been tough enough to prevent a puncture. So beyond inventing an even more advanced, puncture-proof tanker, preventing runaway trains (especially those containing cargo like crude oil) is a priority.

The Russell 2000 obviously has an ugly topping pattern. It has long since nudged to a lower low to the August low and now has eased below March and January. If it holds below the line this thing will be in a bear trend. The bears should hope that TA geniuses do not come out and blow horn the DEATH CROSS!!! of the MA's 50 and 200, which is a Red Herring. The chart is bearish enough without the help of that hype.
Anyway, RUT was a leader to the upside on this most intense bull market phase, which has been the post-2012 period and that leader is starting to lose its bull market.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Pretty much every time I teach a video training series here at lynda.com, I include a movie about using Image Sequences. I don't think anyone ever watches them or cares, but I use Image Sequence all the time. They are so helpful. Give them a chance. What am I going to do is go to the Project panel, double-click in the Project panel to open up the Import File dialog box and then go to the Media folder inside the Exercise Files. Go to Images/robot render. You'll notice a series of tga files. TGA is short for Targa.
So, these are Targa files, which are a series of still image files. Now, what I am going to do is uncheck Targa Sequence, so this is not checked. If I bring this in and go ahead and just leave this at Straight Unmatted, click OK, we could see here that we have a still image. We could double-click on this to open this up in the Footage panel. This is just one still image. There is no Timeline here. There is no movie to speak of, just one single image. Now, if I go back, double- click in a Project panel again.
Go back to that same folder. Select that first file, which is the eddie technology0000.tga. This time, check Target Sequence. And as you'll notice, that I've numbered these, 0000 and in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, on until we get to the end, which is a 120. So, we actually have 120 images in this folder. When we check Target Sequence, After Effects is going to look at all of these images in order. It's going to notice the numeric sequence. It's going to import all these images as one file.
Notice that it says here, eddie technology0000-0120. So, now if I double-click this to open it up, it's going to be a series of images. I mean, after all, isn't that what video is, just a series of images played back? So, now we have this movie clip, essentially. It's not really a movie clip. It's just a series of images, played one after another, but After Effects treats it like a movie. Now, why is that important to you? I'm glad you asked. I use image sequences all the time, and I use these for a few reasons.
Number one, oftentimes, in this day and age of the Internet and whatnot, a lot of the business I do is across the web. Even 10 years ago, it was the case that if you are going to be working on a big video project, you had to be in the same city as your client. Now, you could be across the world from them, and you could upload files, go back and forth through the power of the web. If you render out a movie file, it might be a colossal movie file that's really hard to transport. But if you use image sequences, you can actually break up those images into groups and then send them a few at a time.
Also, if you get some kind of corruption inside of your video file, then the whole file is toast. But with an image sequence, you can just toss out that one file and replace it. Also too, when I do work and I have image sequences, it is so much more convenient because if I need to, let say, for example, I did a commercial one time and the client gave me a series of still images. It was just like this folder. I am actually was going to right-click, and choose Reveal in finder, to show you what I am talking about here. So, here are these images in my Finder here. Basically, let's say, for example, this was a special effects shot.
These were still images from a movie file that I was working on. It only needed this group of files. So, I was only working on these few frames. Well, I could take all the rest of these frames and just delete them. It's almost like doing video editing before you even bring it into a system because I can just select these images and delete them, or just not even bring them in. Also, as I'll show you how to do later on in this training series, when you are rendering to movie, when you are outputting something like this, you can choose to output to a series of still images. And that will make it so that if After Effects crashes on one frame, you don't lose everything, which is what you'd do if you're rendering out one solitary movie file.
If there is one corrupt frame in there, and it crashes, then you've got to start all over again the rendering process. But if it is the still image sequence, then you only have to throw away that one image that it crashed on, and you continue rendering from that spot. Now, one final benefit that's very important about image sequences is that they are much more compatible with everything. Chances are some of you watching this training series will have some problem whatsoever, probably if you are on Windows, with some of these video files. There is just something in Operating Systems or whatever.
There's just issues when it comes to compression in video. Just not everybody can read or view every format of video. However, almost anyone can open a Targa file or a JPEG. So, if you make a series of JPEGs or Targa files or TIFFs or what have you, then chances are almost everybody on any platform is going to be able to open up and use those files without any kind of compression or codec issue whatsoever. So, you can choose to work how you want, but personally, I use image sequences as often as possible.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.

UK Market Statistics
Entertainment's Best Result Since 2009
By Steve Redmond and Luke Butler
Every year since 2008, ERA's annual Entertainment Monitor has reported bad news, the market declining year-on-year-on-year to the extent that 2012 was more than 10% off the 2008 peak.
In 2013 the pattern was finally broken and the entertainment market returned to growth, recording a 4% gain to reach £5,295.6m, its best result since 2009. Both videogames (up 6.6%) and video (up 3.7%) grew stronglyand even music declined by just 0.5%, its best result in a decade. Had its release schedule been better, music too would have achieved an increase.
Given the 10 years of uncertainty which preceded it, no one should underestimate the importance of this achievement by retailers and digital services. After a decade of investment and the expenditure of hundreds of millions of pounds, it seems that they have stabilized the cannibalizing effect of digital technology and in many instances turned it to their advantage.
They have developed new business models based on rental, streaming and downloads while also supporting new hybrid technologies (most notably Ultraviolet in video) which aim to bridge the gap between their existing physical businesses and the digital future.
What has emerged is an entertainment business which is broadly two-fifths videogames, two-fifths video and one fifth music, reflecting the fact that at the moment video and games more effectively utilize the high quality displays, accelerometers and touchscreen capabilities of the most common devices than does music.
Physical formats continue to be in retreat despite the continuing and paradoxical increase in the number of physical retail outlets selling entertainment (see page 16). In 2013 it was music which suffered the sharpest physical decline (down 7.7%) while games - cushioned a little by the launch of the new Xbox One and PS4 platforms (see p 24) had a relatively modest 2.9% fall.
In digital, video was the top performer with sales up over 40% as the sector benefited from the rapid growth of subscription models from the likes of Lovefilm and Netflix. Videogames - entertainment's most digital market - grew digital sales by another 16.4%, while music's digital revenues failed to replicate the kind of surging growth seen in recent years to register an increase of just 8.6%.
The result of all this is an entertainment market which is now 43.4% digital and 56.6% physical. More than half of videogames revenues are now digital, while video remains the least digital, with physical still accounting for nearly 70% of revenues.
Digital files and streams are of course only one element of the internet-powered entertainment market. Home delivery retailers such as Amazon have taken an increasing share of the physical market to the extent that they now account for one in five album sales, (see p16). We have known it was coming for years, but in 2013 it finally happened: the combination of digital and home delivery sales means entertainment is now primarily a market conducted online.
Driven in particular by the rapid growth of mobile and streaming, in 2013 60% of total sales of games, video and music were generated either digitally or via the internet store-fronts of home delivery retailers.
Notes: Games microtransactions are counted within access spend. All online console transactions are counted within ownership spend including full game downloads and paid downloadable content.
It is telling that while ownership models feature among the fastest-growing sectors in the entertainment business, all of the fastest-falling sectors are ownership models.
The implications for the entertainment sector if this trend continues are significant. On a banal level it suggests that the market in the future for all kinds of storage from flash drives and hard disks through to CD and DVD racking is likely to be limited.
More fundamentally it suggests the need for a fundamental review of resource allocation and business metrics in a digital world - with clear implications for the deals retailers strike with suppliers. In service-based access models customer relationship management, thinking through an ongoing relationship with known customers rather than dealing with a series of discrete transactions, is a core competency. Meanwhile average revenue per user may be a far more relevant measure in an access-based world than unit pricing. The optimum pricing level to maximize revenues may be very different from what it is now.
This is already a live issue in the music streaming market where there is a growing consensus among services that the current standard £9.99 per month for a premium mobile subscription is simply too high to address a mass market.
Whatever the results of that particular discussion it is clear that the switch to a diverse entertainment ecosystem embracing both access and ownership models will continue to pose fresh challenges for both retailers and suppliers alike.

Probate records of Texas have been kept by the probate clerk in each county courthouse. You can obtain copies of the records from the clerk's office. In most counties, all information pertaining to a probate case is recorded in the "probate minutes."
Content: Probate Records may give the decedent's date of death, names of his or her spouse, children, parents, siblings, in-laws, neighbors, associates, relatives, and their places of residence.
Record types: Wills, estates, guardianships, naturalizations, marriage, adoption, and birth and death records.
See the Wiki page Texas Probate Records for information about how to use probate records.
Texas tax records complement land records and can be used in place of censuses or to supplement the years between censuses. Because only persons who owned taxable property were listed, many residents were not included in tax lists. There may also be gaps of several years in the tax records of some counties. For more information, see the wiki page Texas Taxation.

Irwin is an anteater. (Photo: Patrick McDermott)
It's started as badly as you could imagine. After just 10 minutes, the Caps trailed the San Jose Sharks 3-0. But a stirring effort in the second period brought the Caps within striking distance. Remember, last season, when the Caps would go down two goals and you knew it was over? Well, now that's over.
Matt Irwin connected for two in the game's first five minutes, followed up by John Scott (seriously) five minutes later. Holtby out, Peters in.
The Caps got three back in the second period, including Ovi's third of the year, but the Sharks led 4-3 going into the third.
Tommy Wingels kicked off the third period with either a hardnose goal or Carlson and Orpik just gave up. No matter, Ovi neutralized it with an Ovi shot from the Ovi spot with under 10 minutes remaining. Troy Brouwer stalked up to Niemi's net like a panther before tying the game from the slot.
Overtime was thrilling but didn't give us a result, so…
Shootout bullets!
- Backstrom did NOT put the biscuit in the basket
- Marleau did NOT put the biscuit in the basket

I am 5'8" and 180lbs. And I wear a size large for shirts and I have a 33 inch waist. What size should I get in this coat?
Hmm that's a tough one. If you're 5 foot 8 and 180 lbs with a 33 inch waist, you probably have a pretty big upper body. This jacket has a slimmer fit. I'm thinking the XL would fit you best across the shoulders, but would probably be too long in the arms and torso. Give the large a try and if it doesn't work you can always exchange it for a different size free of charge.

this coat looks good and has a tough summary but is it made for 120 pounders and wouldn't button up on a normal guy?
This jacket is cut for a fitted look, but not for emaciated anorexics. For instance, I'm on the thin side (6ft, 160 lbs) and wear a size large in this jacket. Any taller/heavier, and I would go with an XL. A medium is good for dudes 5'10 and shorter. Hope that helps you determine your size.

I'm going to give GOTY to Rock Band 3 because I think this game really did something innovative and this series has done a lot to bring people into games that normally wouldn't be playing.
Best Mario Game this century!
Best Horses
Best Pointless Death of the Main Character
Worst Pointless Death of the Main Character
Good luck, have batman!
Just shoot up a little Civ5 and lose your entire day.
The only game this year that has evoked that emotional response and it's actually a lot of fun. The only downside is that it's a little too short.
They keep sucking me back in, those bastards!

I've been using this for several months. I prefer a light coverage and this is exactly what that does. I either use my fingers to apply or RT expert face brush. I sometimes put an extra layer on red areas for more coverage. This doesn't cake. It evens my skin out. I still need to spot conceal tho. There are some other brands (Nars, Sonia Kashuk) that I'd like to try but until then -- this is perfect for me. I use Nude and it is perfect for my light complexion.

I got a free sample mini-tube, and I honestly don't understand the point of this product. It is not very pigmented, so you wouldn't use it as a foundation. I suppose it may even out skin tone a bit, and it gives a decent dewy finish for a while, but coverage isn't heavy enough to hide any redness or under-eye shadows. At the same time, if it's only a facial moisturiser with SPF 20 sunscreen, then you can get products just as good or better for a tiny fraction of the price at the supermarket! Also, it smells absolutely terrible, like cheap sunscreen and chemicals. I don't understand how they can justify putting a massive pricetag on a nasty-smelling plain old moisturiser that doesn't really do anything special.

This tinted mosturizer feels very light and it has a really light weight coverage. Its good for those people who doesnt have many blemishes which need to be covered. it doesnt stay for a long time and need to be re applied after around 3 hours. its a great tinted mosturizer overall tho

I am a NC30 with dry/combo skin. The colour sand is perfect for me. Overall this is a very lightweight tinted moisturiser that I believe would be great for those with oily or combination skin like me.
The price is a little high in my opinion for something so lightweight, meaning the coverage is very minimal. I believe this is best for those who want an extreme natural look and already have pretty good skin. I have decent skin but felt this did not really make a difference except slightly evening my skintone out. It definitely does not cover blemishes and is not buildable. At $43, I'm a little torn at whether or not it is worth it because I like how it does not make me oily after a long day AND works amazing with my skin, but the coverage is too little (I prefer light to medium coverage).
- Did not break me out... I have sensitive skin
- Did not make me oily after 8+ hours of wear
- My face looked more radiant after putting it on
- SPF included
- Did not emphasise my dry patches but also did not make me super oily... this is quite perfect in terms of staying power, oil control, etc.
- Loose powder helps it stay, but I find I do not need it and do not need touch ups throughout my 8-hour workdays! Amazing.
- The price
- Coverage is TOO light... made for someone with already great skin
- Not buildable
In the end, I suppose if I can't find another TM with SPF in it, I will be repurchasing it. For now I will be on a hunt for a slightly heavier coverage that reacts the same to my face in terms of oil control and staying power.

This product is overpriced. It is okay and nothing more. It gives a very sheer look which I can appreciate but it feels cheap and I don't like that it contains parabens. It also makes my pores look a lot bigger, which I then have to correct. That's not good of course. Also no coverage at all unless you put a lot of layers on. I expected light coverage. This tm only illuminates really.
I regret paying this much and will only use it as a highlighter.
If I tested this blind I would probably guess this to be a very cheap BB cream. It reminds me of that horrible BB cream from Garnier.

I was very excited to try this product before but when I finally did I wasn't very happy. I guess I just had too high expectations from it. The product has a dewy finish which is nice but the coverage is very very light plus the odor smells like a glue and I realized that my skin got dry as well. Maybe it just doesn't match with my asian skin.

I like this tinted moisturizer, but I don't love it. It feels like a foundation on my skin, and frankly looks like one too. The finish is nice, but it doesn't have the light feel I'd really like from a TM. Wear time is ok. It lasts pretty well in the winter time, but in the warmer months I only a get a few hours out of it before I'm a melty mess. It also smells like straight up sunscreen.

This is one of the heaviest tinted moisturizers i have used. That is great it you are looking for a bit more coverage. I ideally wanted something that was a bit more sheer in consistency but
I sheer it out so I don't mind. I purchased the shade Walnut which is ok but sometimes I feel it makes me look a bit ashy some days. Overall i think it is ok, I doubt I would repurchase but I think it is worth a try. I did a video of my thoughts of this moisturizer! Check it out.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium Hair: Blond, Wavy Eyes: Hazel
I've been using this for about 5 months now, I keep trying to like it but I just cant.
Gets oily looking. This one actually looks much LESS oily throughout the day than the oil free version too! I've tried both.
Transfers easily. Almost anything that touches my face gets orange oily spots on them. When i have to lay face down as physiotherapy I leave behind oily greasy orangish spots on the paper on the bed, which is pretty gross.
It kind of sits on my skin, not in a way that I can feel, it definitely doesnt feel heavy, but it doesn't... cover things nicely? It makes any blemishes stand out a lot, sinks into lines weirdly
It's more drying than it is moisturizing. My skin looks drained and tired when I take it off :s
Lightweight, light-medium coverage, covers more than more tinted moisturizers.
Very natural looking
So in the end I don't really like this product. It isn't awful, and I'd probably keep wearing it however I've been breaking out pretty badly for the past 4 months, and as soon as I stopped using this the breakouts have stopped and my skin is calming down a lot.
So really if you have basically perfect skin other than a little redness I think this would be okay, but honestly, there are definitely products out there that are better than this one. It's definitely not worth the price. If I were you I'd save my money and look for something else.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool Hair: Brunette, Curly, Fine Eyes: Green
I have a love/hate relationship with my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. Some days I absolutely love it but then others I absolutely hate it and wish that I wouldn't have spent the $43 on it.
So, here is what I love. The product is sheer but buildable without looking cakey. When used with the primer, it makes my skin look flawless. When used without a primer, it just evens out a bit. The packaging is great, no waste because you can really control how much product you let out of the tube. The number one thing that I love about this foundation is that it keeps my skin looking moist which is really great as I have extremely dry skin.
Onto what I hate. The smell of it really turns my stomach. I don't know what it is, but the smell and me just do not get along. I also don't like that in order to have amazing results I HAVE to use the primer. Now, while I don't have a problem using a primer, I do have a problem with the cost of the TM as well as the moisturizer, over $70 for both. I think for that price I would rather buy another bottle of Chanel Vitalumiere that has amazing coverage and is so good it doesn't need a primer. I also find that no matter what I do, the TM oxidizes to an extremely unattractive bright orange. In my book, that's just no good. I also feel that there isn't enough of a colour selection in the line.
So, there you have it. If you have dry skin that isn't so fair, I would recommend this to you. If you just want sheer coverage and a bit of moisture, I would recommend this to you as well. If you don't want to smell like rotten fruit, I wouldn't recommend this for you. LOL. In my opinion, get a sample and try it for a week. You might like it or you might hate it. With the cost of the TM and the primer, I would really recommend trying it before commiting to buy. And... go to Sephora to buy. The people at the Macy's counter really didn't know anything about the line that they are demonstrating. But that's a whole other story! :)

text: We have economically driven health care policies, not best practice. THIS is responsible for poor health care and delivery. My PC has begun a boutique practice for cash payers and his services are considerably less when he doesn't have to hire 6 people to submit claims and track billing...oh and wait for months sometimes for payment. The Gv't likes to operate on your cash. Doc's don't "practice" medicine anymore they practice cost containment and not because they want to.

The 2011 Retail Profit Protection Report Reveals A Shrinking 'Bricks And Mortar' Shopping Population And Suggest Ways Retailers Can Increase Shoppers Confidence.
• Retail shrinkage is three times the amount generated in profits for an average retailer
• Reducing shrinkage by 84% would increase profits by 51%
• Implementation of effective policies and procedures can reduce shrinkage by as much as 68%
Manchester 25 February – Albert Einstein once set a test for a group of post graduate students at Preston University. On the way back to Einstein's office, his assistant asked him why he had set the students the same test that he had set the previous year. He replied, 'because the answers have changed from last year'.
Like the great doctor, retailers must realise that the answer to increasing profits in retailing has changed. Antiquated strategies of price wars or multiple promotions are relics of past centuries that are ineffective in the 21st century retail environment.
Branded retailers are no longer just competing with one another, but with smaller more efficient online retailers. Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, Selfridges must now realise that a major factor in their profitability are the emerging companies and services that are driving the success of the 2nd internet boom such as Google, eBay, Amazon or a factory owner in China whose name they have never heard of. From 2005 to 2009, the online shopping population grew to 1.6 billion and is predicted to rise to 2.3 billion by 2014.
The factors of distribution have changed; presently anyone can run a multimillion pound retail operation from the back of their car if they have an internet connection. Consumers are now ordering directly from factories. This phenomenon is creating a whole new dynamic in retailing. Those retailers well placed to confront this brutal reality of the changing retail landscape will be the ones who prevail in the end.
The 2011 Retail Profit Protection Report is a comprehensive document compiled with the intention of providing retailers with the tools with which to navigate these ever changing conditions. It demonstrates to retailer's creative and innovative ways of generating profit without 'giving away' their goods. It highlights specific aspects of retail operations and contains best practice guide to assist retailers.

If your goal for this year is to make profit then this report is for you.

Usually the bride doesn't want to be upstaged on her special day — but when one of your bridesmaids is a celebrity, it's going to happen.
Selena Gomez and boyfriend Justin Bieber jetted to Mexico last week for a wedding, where Selena walked down the beachy aisle in a lovely blue dress with the rest of the bride's best buds.
But Selena isn't the first star to take a back seat and play a supporting role for a friend's nuptials.
Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian and more — check out more photos of celeb bridesmaids at TooFab: Outshining The Bride? Selena Gomez & 21 Other Celeb Bridesmaids
