text: Guest Post: IPO Companies, Section 11 Suits, and California State Court By Kevin LaCroix on April 28, 2016 Posted in Securities Litigation One of the interesting (and challenging) quirks of the federal securities laws is that Section 22 of the '33 Act provides concurrent state court jurisdiction for liability actions under the Act. Many courts have taken the view that legislation subsequent to the '33 Act preempts state court jurisdiction under Section 22, as discussed here. While … Continue Reading

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of dog and cat contacts on the frequency of respiratory symptoms and infections during the first year of life.
METHODS: In this birth cohort study, 397 children were followed up from pregnancy onward, and the frequency of respiratory symptoms and infections together with information about dog and cat contacts during the first year of life were reported by using weekly diaries and a questionnaire at the age of 1 year. All the children were born in eastern or middle Finland between September 2002 and May 2005.
RESULTS: In multivariate analysis, children having dogs at home were healthier (ie, had fewer respiratory tract symptoms or infections) than children with no dog contacts (adjusted odds ratio, [aOR]: 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13–1.52). Furthermore, children having dog contacts at home had less frequent otitis (aOR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.38–0.81) and tended to need fewer courses of antibiotics (aOR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.52–0.96) than children without such contacts. In univariate analysis, both the weekly amount of contact with dogs and cats and the average yearly amount of contact were associated with decreased respiratory infectious disease morbidity.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that dog contacts may have a protective effect on respiratory tract infections during the first year of life. Our findings support the theory that during the first year of life, animal contacts are important, possibly leading to better resistance to infectious respiratory illnesses during childhood.

Online Business Colleges
Business Degree Programs and Careers
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that the most popular undergraduate major at American colleges is business. This makes sense, given the huge scope of business in this country: a 2010 report issued by the Center for Education and the Workforce (CEW) predicts that the business and professional services sector will account for economic output of about $3.5 billion and add 3.4 million new jobs by 2018. CEW also predicts that by 2018 a full 59% of workers in this sector will have a bachelor's degree or better.
Whether you're working toward an associate's, bachelor's or master's degree in business, you'll take courses in basic aspects of business, such as marketing, operations and finance. You might specialize in one of these business functions, or you might pursue a degree geared to a particular industry. For example, a degree in healthcare management will position you to lead a hospital or other healthcare facility. An online business degree program can be a great option, since attending college online allows you to work while going to school. This enables you to advance your career by immediately applying in the office what you learn in the virtual classroom. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) lists over two dozen occupations, from financial manager and top executive to funeral director and insurance underwriter, that fall under the business management and business/financial operations categories. So business degrees are versatile credentials, but in choosing a degree program, it's wise to think about what your career goals are and what areas of specialization are in demand.

Why Get a Business Degree Online?
Trying to obtain a business degree while juggling life and family obligations can be very stressful. Online classes can offer more flexible deadlines for lectures, tests, and project deadlines that can alleviate some of that stress. Below is the story of how one person has used online classes to obtain her business degree while taking care of her family.
I am the mother of four handsome young men, a full-time employee, a military veteran, and a full-time student. I attend online classes while in pursuit of my Doctorate of Business Administration degree. After I completed my master's degree, I was offered the opportunity to teach a couple of college classes as an adjunct professor, I enjoyed the experience so much, that I decided to pursue my doctorate degree so I can increase my professional opportunities by teaching in a full-time capacity.
This career move will allow me to spend more time with my boys, as I currently work at least 50 hours a week in order to support the family. When researching doctoral programs, I realized that many on-site programs require students to attend on a full-time basis, which essentially means I would be unable to work. Since that is not part of my everyday reality, I decided to explore online-based programs. More than a year into the online program, I found that the program is definitely demanding and requires much of my time; however, the virtual presence of the classroom affords me the flexibility to complete all of my mandatory daily tasks then attend to my classwork at my own pace."
- Alicia (Florida)
One in five graduates earning a bachelor's degree in 2012 walked away with a business degree, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics, and that means business is the most popular undergraduate course of study in the nation.
Of course, it's not just undergrads who are studying business. A master's degree in Business Administration has long been considered the gold standard of graduate degrees, opening doors to employment and increasing income potential. (See: 10 In-Demand MBA Concentrations for more info.)
If you would like to go to business school but don't have the time or money to head to campus, it may be time to start exploring online colleges and degree options. A number of business schools, including some of the most prominent ones in the nation, have started placing their programs online.
Students with families or work obligations may find an online degree is perfect for the following reasons:
- Many schools offer the same coursework and instructors online as they do on-campus.
- Students can avoid paying for room and board, commuting or child care.
- Programs may be available fully online with no in-person or on-campus requirements.
- Classes may be arranged so students can log in to view course material 24/7, at times convenient for them.
Top Online Colleges for Business
While business school may boost your earning potential, a degree doesn't come cheap. Business Insider reported in 2013 that the average cost of a business school is $60,000, with some institutions nearing six figures once you factor in room and board, books, supplies and other fees.
However, there are plenty of online colleges offering business degrees for less. To find these schools, we went to the NCES database to looked for business schools with in-state tuition that was no more than $10,000 per year. Then, we narrowed the list to the schools with the highest graduation rates.
A college's graduation rate can be an important factor in selecting a school. It reflects how many first-time, full-time undergraduate students earn their bachelor's degree within six years. A high graduation rate may indicate a school does a good job of keeping students on track to finishing their studies. According to the NCES, the average 2012 graduation rate across all undergraduate institutions nationwide was 59 percent.
Based on this criteria, here are the ten institutions we think are the top online business colleges, in order from the highest to the lowest graduation rates. Note: The tuition rates reported by the NCES aren't just for a school's online degrees, but represent the overall average of all degrees offered by a college or university. All tuition and graduate rates reflect 2013-2014 data from the NCES database. See our Methodology section for more details on the ranking methodology.

Best States to Get a Business Degree
A business education is consistently a pathway into a prosperous career. Even better, if you choose a program of study in a state that happens to offer a multitude of job prospects upon graduation, it's more likely that you'll generate a return on your business education investment.

#1 - Washington D.C.
BLS stats:

What's more is that the capital is also home to top-notch colleges and universities including Georgetown University (ranked 24th top business school by Bloomberg), American University, George Washington University, and Howard University, among others.

Sydney, Australia, May 17, 2016 - Roland DG Australia has announced the availability of a new RotaPrint attachment for the company's VersaUV LEF Series flatbed printers that makes printing directly on bottles and other cylindrical objects easier and more effective than ever. Simple to install and remove, the RotaPrint utilises the LEF's existing feed system, enabling it to print cleanly and precisely onto glass, plastic, metal or ceramic objects with a diameter between 40 to 77mm*.

The lightweight yet incredibly rugged RotaPrint fits perfectly within the LEF, attaching to the printer via a series of magnets.

"The RotaPrint further expands the already impressive capabilities of Roland's VersaUV LEF Series printers," said Greg Stone, Roland DG Australia Product Manager. "This incredible attachment works seamlessly with the LEF Series, allowing users to print vibrant, detailed graphics on cylindrical objects with ease and precision."

20-Apr-2016 Visual Impact Brisbane a Success for Roland DG
Sydney, Australia, April 20, 2016 – Roland DG Australia, a leading manufacturer of wide format inkjet printers and 3D devices, was proud to be the Platinum Sponsor at a successful Visual Impact Expo in Brisbane. Roland DG showcased its recently released printers and engraving solutions, as well as a range of inspirational applications and workflows.
Front and centre at the stand were the brand new TrueVIS VG Series printer/cutters that attracted many visitors keen to see the new technology and print quality of Roland's latest printer/cutter in person. Not only were they impressed with the striking output and vibrant colours created by the new FlexFire print heads and TrueVIS ink, but also the other advanced features of the VG series including the Bluetooth-enabled technology.
The dye sublimation area featured the recently released Texart XT-640, and showcased the full dye sublimation workflow from print to finished product. A range of items such as mugs, drink bottles and tiles were produced on the stand, and a range of other unique samples were on display including sportswear, fashion items and even a snowboard.
The personalisation area was a big hit with stand attendees, and included UV printing, engraving and heat transfer applications. There was much excitement around UV printing on the LEF-300 that was printing double sided keyrings. An onscreen tally kept count throughout the show, and as it came to an end, a total of 1302 keyrings had been printed, along with hundreds of posters printed on the SOLJET EJ-640 for the Starlight Children's Foundation.

Before you buy your tickets...
I recommend taking a moment to read these important tips for buying European train tickets. It answers all the usual questions, such as "Do I need to book in advance or can I just turn up & buy at the station?", "How far ahead can I book?", "Can I stop off?", "Are there Senior fares?" and that old favourite, "Should I buy an $800 railpass or just go online & buy a €35 point-to-point ticket?".

Nice to Paris by TGV train from €25...
Every day, high-speed double-decker TGV Duplex trains link Nice with Paris in just 5h36 centre to centre with no check-in required. That's little more than it takes by plane, and a lot less hassle. It's a lovely journey, initially at low speed snaking along the coast past rocky headlands, yacht-filled harbours and millionaires' villas, then past Marseille with the Château d'If visible in the bay, then at up to 186 mph along the high-speed line up the Rhone Valley past picturesque French villages with pretty churches.
See the Paris to Nice by train page for train times, fares, how to buy tickets, tips and advice.
Nice to Cannes, Juan les Pins, Monte Carlo, Menton by local train...
Frequent local trains link all the various towns along the Cote d'Azur.
No reservation is necessary or possible, just turn up, buy a ticket at the station from the ticket office of self-service machines and hop on the next train. You can check times and prices at the French railways site www.voyages-sncf.com.
Nice to Marseille, Avignon, Lyon, Perpignan, Toulouse & other destinations in France

Nice to Switzerland: Nice to Geneva from €26...
There's at least one daily direct Nice-Geneva high-speed TGV, usually leaving late morning, with advance-purchase fares from just €26. This train takes you along the scenic Provencal coastline past rocky headlands, yacht-filled harbours and millionaires' villas to Marseille, then up through the French Alps, an enjoyable ride.
To book, go to www.loco2.com or www.captaintrain.com. Try booking through from Nice to your Swiss destination. This may or may not work. It may show options via Paris, for example. If those suit you, fine.
If not, book from Nice to Geneva (Genève) on the direct train using www.loco2.com or www.captaintrain.com (anyone). Then buy a separate ticket from Geneva to your final Swiss destination at the Swiss railways website www.sbb.ch. You'll get a print-at-home ticket valid on any train from Geneva to your Swiss destination that day, no reservation is necessary for Swiss domestic trains.
Nice to Italy: Nice to Genoa or Milan from €16. Nice to Venice, Pisa, Florence or Rome from €35...
Option 1: Direct Thello train from Marseille, Cannes, Nice, Monaco to Genoa & Milan... The direct & recommended option...
In December 2014 a daily Marseille-Cannes-Nice-Genoa-Milan Thello train started up, joined by two more Nice-Genoa-Milan Thello trains in April 2015.
There are now three daily departures from Nice to San Remo, Savona, Genoa & Milan, leaving Nice Ville at 08:08, 14:03 & 18:07, arriving Milan Centrale at 12:50, 18:50 & 22:50 respectively.
They all call at Monaco-Monte Carlo, San Remo, Savona, Genoa Piazza Principe & Milan Centrale, and the 18:09 starts back in Marseille & also calls at Toulon, St Raphael (for bus from St Tropez) & Cannes.
Change at Genoa Piazza Principe for La Spezia, Monterosso in Cinque Terre & Pisa, change at Milan Centrale for Florence, Rome, Naples, Verona & Venice. For example, the 08:08 from Nice would get you to Florence SMN at 14:59, or to Venice Santa Lucia on the banks of the Grand Canal in central Venice itself at 15:40.
Nice to Genoa or Milan starts at just €15 booked in advance and rises to €45 full-flex to Milan. An onward ticket from Genoa to Pisa or Milan to Florence starts at €19, or Milan to Rome or Naples starts at €29, if you book in advance and choose a super-economy advance-purchase fare.
These trains are run by Thello, the same consortium of Trenitalia and Veolia that runs the Paris-Venice sleeper train, using superior Frecciabianca carriages. As with Thello's Paris-Venice train, this train is being run in competition with SNCF French Railways, not in co-operation with them, so you will not find this train shown on the French Railways website and you cannot buy tickets at French stations, apart from using the special branded Thello ticket machines.
You can check trains times and buy tickets from Nice to any station in Italy at www.italiarail.com (easy to use, recognises English place names, the €3.50 booking fee will be refunded if you email them at firstname.lastname@example.com with your PNR) or at Italian Railways own website www.trenitalia.com (can be more fiddly to use, requires Italian language place names, no booking fee, read this advice on using it). Look for a cheap super-economy or economy fare. It's ticketless, you just quote your booking reference on board the train. A seat reservation is compulsory and is included automatically in every ticket.
Alternatively, you can now also book from Nice to anywhere in Italy in plain English at www.loco2.com with prices in UK pounds and the same cheap prices and same ticketless delivery - you just quote your booking reference on board the train. Loco2 can also ticket the options with a change of train at Ventimiglia described in option 2 below, as it connects to both the Italian (Trenitalia) and French (SNCF) ticketing systems.
The Milan-Nice Thello train at Milan Centrale... It uses comfortable air-conditioned Frecciabianca carriages.
1st class seats on Thello. All seats have power sockets. Plenty of luggage room on racks & between seat backs...
2nd class seats on the Thello train. All seats have power sockets, with plenty of luggage space on racks and between seat backs.
The small cafe-bar counter on the Milan to Nice & Marseille Thello train serving tea, coffee, wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks.
Option 2, if none of the three daily Thello trains suit you, you can combine a French local train to Ventimiglia with an Italian train onwards...
Simply hop on the frequent local train from Nice to Ventimiglia, just across the Italian border. These double-decker local trains link Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo & Ventimiglia every 30 minutes throughout the day, journey time from Nice to Ventimiglia is around 48 minutes. I'd allow at least 30-40 minutes in Ventimiglia for connections in case of delay. Then take an Italian InterCity train from Ventimiglia to Genoa & Milan, changing in Milan for Venice or Naples, changing in Genoa for Pisa & Rome, changing at both Genoa & Pisa for Florence. Take a good book, picnic and perhaps a bottle of red and enjoy the scenic ride along the coastline of the Italian Riviera through San Remo and Savona...
There are many & various possible daily departures... Obviously taking one of the direct Thello trains would be easiest, but if you really want to travel in the gaps between the three daily departures, just run your enquiry through www.loco2.com to find train times. This will book both the Thello trains and the French local train/Italian IC train combos.
How much does it cost?
The local ticket from Nice to Ventimiglia costs just €7.50 or so, bought at the station on the day, or €6 if bought online even on the day of travel. Ventimiglia to Genoa or Milan starts at a mere €9 if you pre-book a Super-economy or Economy advance-purchase fare. Ventimiglia to Venice or Rome starts at just €28 in 2nd class or from €48 in 1st class. Ventimiglia to Florence starts at €26 in 2nd class or from €46 in 1st class.
How to buy tickets...
A word of explanation: The French Railways website can't access Trenitalia's cheap fares, whilst Trenitalia.com doesn't even recognise 'Nice' as a station so cannot book to or from Nice at all. So much for international co-operation! So there are two ways to buy tickets.
(1) Buy tickets the easy way using www.loco2.com. If you don't mind paying in pounds, you can easily book train tickets from Nice Ville to anywhere in Italy at www.loco2.com, even if the journey involves a change at Ventimiglia. That's because Loco2 connects both to the French SNCF ticketing system and Trenitalia's ticketing system so you can buy both tickets together in the same place.
There's no booking fee if you use a debit card and all international credit cards are accepted. You'll get a collect-at-station ticket for the regional train from Nice to Ventimiglia and journeys from Ventimiglia to Italian destinations are ticketless, you simply quote your booking reference on board the train.
Tip: I recommend specifying 'Nice Ville' as departure point, because for some reason using 'Nice (any station)' tends to bring up Nice Riquier which is a secondary station which you don't want. Take time to peruse the many departures which come up in the search results, journeys using the direct Thello trains from Nice to Genoa & Milan tend to be faster and cheaper as well as more reliable, although there's only three per day.
(2) Buy tickets in euros by splitting the booking at Ventimiglia...
If you'd rather pay directly in euros, you can book a cheap advance-purchase ticket from Ventimiglia (on the Italian border where the Italian trains start) to anywhere we like in Italy using the Italian system, then add a French ticket from Nice to Ventimiglia bought at the station or online using a French system, like this:
Step 1, Book from Ventimiglia to Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence wherever all in one go using either www.italiarail.com (easy to use, recognises English place names, small booking fee will be refunded if you email them at email@example.com with your PNR) or Italian Railways own website www.trenitalia.com (can be more fiddly to use, requires Italian language place names, no booking fee, read this advice on using it first).
Step 2: You don't need to reserve the local train from Cannes, Nice or Monte Carlo to Ventimiglia, in fact you can't, you can simply turn up and buy a ticket at the station, no reservation necessary or possible, unlimited availability, and hop on the next train. Easy! If you want to check train times from Monte Carlo, Nice or Cannes to Ventimiglia just do this using www.bahn.de. As I said, I'd catch a local train from Nice that arrived in Ventimiglia a good 30-40 minutes before your pre-booked train left, just in case of delay.
It's not essential, but if you want to pre-buy your Nice-Ventimiglia ticket simply to save time at the ticket office and to save a euro (as it's only €6 if bought online, €7.50 bought at the station) you can do this at https://paca.shop.ter-sncf.mobi/selection/transport?productId=388735989. Just buy a ticket from 'Nice Ville' to 'Vintimille' (the French name for Ventimiglia) and select 'plein tariff' (= full fare with no railcard reductions). You get a pdf-format ticket which you can print or show to the conductor on your laptop or smartphone. The site won't give train times, a ticket bought online for a specific date is valid on any Nice-Ventimiglia train that day. You'll still need to look up train times at www.bahn.de!
Italian InterCity trains link Ventimiglia on the French/Italian border with Genoa & Milan. Most cars are of the traditional side-corridor type with 6-seater compartments (pictured above).
Double-decker regional trains like this link Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo & Ventimiglia every 30 minutes.
Nice to Barcelona & Spain...
Step 1, go to www.loco2.com (UK residents), www.raileurope.com (US residents), www.raileurope-world.com (residents of Australia, Canada, Asia, Africa, South America) or www.captaintrain.com (anyone) and book from Nice to Barcelona. You'll find at least one good daily option with one easy change at Montpelier. You'll get a print-at-home ticket.
This train ride takes you along the Provencal coastline past rocky headlands, yacht-filled harbours and millionaires' villas, then through Marseille with the Château d'If (France's Alcatraz) visible in the bay. Look out for flamingos in the étangs (lakes) beyond Montpelier.
Step 2, stay overnight in Barcelona (see suggested hotels near Barcelona Sants station) and book onward high-speed trains from Barcelona to Madrid, Seville, Malaga, Alicante etc, using either the Spanish railways website www.renfe.com or (if you have any problems) alternative site www.petrabax.com/renfe. You'll find a direct AVE leaving Barcelona Sants at around 15:50 arriving Malaga, Cordoba & Seville in the evening.
Why not stay overnight in Marseille? For a time-effective journey from Nice to Barcelona or Madrid, how about an evening train around 17:00 to Marseille taking just 2h35, or perhaps earlier to see a bit of the city. Stay overnight in Marseille - inexpensive hotels with good reviews just outside Marseille St Charles station include the Ibis Marseille Centre Gare St Charles, Holiday Inn Express Marseille St Charles. Next morning, take the direct AVE train leaving Marseille around 08:05 and arriving Barcelona Sants at 12:38 & Madrid Atocha at 15:45.
2nd class seats on the S100 AVE, all with power sockets. Luggage goes on the racks at the car ends or above the seats. Panorama photo of 2nd class
These S100 AVE trains operate the TGV/AVE services from Marseille to Barcelona & Madrid...
Nice to Munich, Berlin & Germany
Take the direct 14:09 Thello train from Nice to Milan Centrale with fares from €15. Have dinner in Milan. Book this at either www.italiarail.com (they'll refund the 3.50 fee if you email them at firstname.lastname@example.com) or www.trenitalia.com (you'll need to use Italian place names).
Take the direct 21:05 City Night Line sleeper train from Milan Centrale to Munich arriving 06:30, from €60 with couchette or from €105 with a bed in a cosy 2-bed sleeper, deluxe sleepers with shower & toilet also available from €135 per person. More information about City Night Line sleeper trains.
Change in Munich for an ICE train to Berlin, Frankfurt, or anywhere in Germany.
Book from Milan to anywhere in Germany at the German Railways website www.bahn.de with print-at-home tickets. In the search results, look for the evening departure marked 'CNL'.
Nice to Vienna & Austria
Take the direct 14:09 Thello train from Nice to Milan Centrale with fares from €15. Have dinner in Milan. Book this at either www.italiarail.com (they'll refund the €3.50 fee if you email them at firstname.lastname@example.com) or www.trenitalia.com (you'll need to use Italian place names).
Take the direct 21:05 EuroNight sleeper train from Milan to Vienna, from €49 with couchette or from €89 with a bed in a cosy 2-bed sleeper. Book this at either www.italiarail.com (tickets collected in Milan from the self-service machines & they'll refund the 3.50 fee if you email them at email@example.com) or the Austrian Railways site www.oebb.at with print-at-home tickets. Look for the train marked EN with 0 changes.
Alternatively, the Russians will let you book a Nice to Vienna ticket on their weekly direct train on its way to Moscow, leaving Nice every Saturday night. Book at www.rzd.ru - see my advice on using this. This gives you a comfortable direct sleeper train to Vienna!
Nice to Moscow...
There's a weekly direct Russian Railways sleeper to Moscow, every Saturday evening, arriving Moscow on Monday evening. See http://eng.rzd.ru/statice/public/en?STRUCTURE_ID=4127#nice.
The train has comfortable air-conditioned sleepers, 4-berth in 2nd class, 2-berth in 1st class and some VIP deluxe sleepers with en suite toilet and shower.
You can check fares and buy print-at-home tickets at www.rzd.ru - see my advice on using this.
Find hotels in Nice & other cities
◄◄ Hotel search & price comparison.
www.hotelscombined.com checks all the main hotel booking sites at once to find the widest choice of hotels & the cheapest seller. It was named as the World's Leading Hotel Comparison Site at the World Travel Awards 2013 and I highly recommend it, both to find hotels in even the smallest places and to check that another retailer isn't selling your hotel for less!
www.booking.com is my favourite booking site. It's really clear and you can usually book with free cancellation and so confirm your accommodation at no risk months before train booking opens.
Other hotel sites worth trying...
www.tripadvisor.com is the place to find independent travellers' reviews of all the main hotels.
www.booking.com is my own preferred hotel booking system (Hotels Combined being a search/comparison system). It has a simple interface, a good selection in most countries worldwide, useful online customer reviews of each hotel, and decent prices, usually shown inclusive of unavoidable extras such as taxes (a pet hate of mine is systems that show one price, then charge you another!).
Backpacker hostels...
www.hostelbookers.com: If you're on a tight budget, don't forget about backpacker hostels. Hostelbookers offers online booking of cheap private rooms or dorm beds in backpacker hostels in most cities at rock-bottom prices.
Travel insurance & health card...
Take out decent travel insurance, it's essential...
Never travel overseas without travel insurance from a reliable insurer, with at least £1m or preferably £5m medical cover. It should also cover cancellation and loss of cash and belongings, up to a sensible limit. An annual multi-trip policy is usually cheaper than several single-trip policies even for just 2 or 3 trips a year, I have an annual policy myself. Here are some suggested insurers. Seat61 gets a small commission if you buy through these links.
In the UK, try Columbus Direct or use Confused.com to compare prices & policies from many different insurers.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition or are over 65 (no age limit), see www.JustTravelCover.com.
If you live in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland or the EU, try Columbus Direct's other websites.
If you live in the USA try Travel Guard USA.
Carry a spare credit card, designed for foreign travel with no currency exchange loading & low or no ATM fees...
It costs nothing to take out an extra credit card. If you keep it in a different part of your luggage so you're not left stranded if your wallet gets stolen, this is a form of extra travel insurance in itself. In addition, some credit cards are significantly better for overseas travel than others. Martin Lewis's www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-travel-money explains which UK credit cards have the lowest currency exchange commission loadings when you buy something overseas, and the lowest cash withdrawal fees when you use an ATM abroad. Taking this advice can save you quite a lot on each trip compared to using your normal high-street bank credit card!
You can avoid ATM charges and expensive exchange rates with a Caxton FX euro currency Visa Card, or their multi-currency 'Global Traveller' Visa Card, see www.caxtonfx.com for info.

The Art of the Unsolvable: Locating the Vital Center of Science for Environmental Law & Policy
Adelman, David E., Environmental Law
I. INTRODUCTION II. SCIENCE BEYOND ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND POLICY A. Environmental Science in the Shadow of the Toxics Debate B. Scientific Pragmatism on Wall Street C. Bridging the Newtonian-Darwinian Divide in Environmental Science III. SCIENTIFIC BIAS VERSUS SOCIAL VALUE IV. CONCLUSIONS
Wildlife management is a problem that superficially appears science ought to be able to resolve handily. Yet, successful wildlife management has proven to be far from simple and is exemplary of the complex dynamics that can emerge from simple biological interactions. Wildlife populations, for example, can be modeled using a formula with just one variable, (1) but this analytic simplicity is deceptive. Non-linear feedbacks, such as the responses of predators, can cause populations to crash unpredictably. (2) This dynamic is reflected in the formula, which is stunningly sensitive to minor variations in its single parameter--a difference of just one tenth of one percent can lead to widely divergent predictions for the same management decision. (3)
This example highlights a basic truth that is often overlooked. Science is limited by both the power of its methods and the characteristics of its subject matter. Ideal scientific problems are ones with sufficient complexity and generality to make them interesting, but not so much that they become intractable. Identifying good scientific problems is therefore essential to success as a scientist and to successful science. In this light, "[i]f politics is the art of the possible, [scientific] research is surely the art of the soluble." (4)
Scientists working in fields relevant to environmental law are rarely able to select problems with an optimal balance of broad implications and potential solutions. Escaping from the aridity of the laboratory comes at a steep price the inchoate swamp of the natural world. Issues ranging from the toxicity of industrial chemicals to the protection of endangered species and the projected magnitude of global warming transcend existing scientific knowledge.
This complexity poses an unsettling question: if scientific uncertainty is so pervasive, what exactly do scientific methods contribute to environmental policymaking? Resolving this question has proven to be exceedingly difficult, both because of the technical challenges and the high stakes. Typically, it is answered in the negative folks know bad science when they see it--which more often than not simply involves dissecting the inevitable gaps in an opponent's scientific methods. (5)
The resulting war of attrition has spawned a corrosive brand of skepticism fueled by vague terms, such as "sound" or "junk" science, that are used to label science as either good or bad. (6) More recently, it has led to dubious legislative actions, such as the Data Access Amendment (or "Shelby Amendment") and the Information Quality Act, that purport to be good-science reforms. (7) Both of these laws give the appearance of enhancing peer review and oversight of regulatory science, but their primary utility is as tools for partisan challenges to agency science. They appear, if anything, designed to heighten strife and to create new barriers to the effective use of science in regulatory decision making. (8)
These types of reforms succeed, in part, because of long-standing misconceptions about science. Critics on both sides of the debate, for example, baldly challenge environmental science for being reductive--a position akin to criticizing a painting by Picasso for its failure to represent its subject matter realistically--and ignore the unavoidable epistemological constraints. (9) Arthur Left has framed the dilemma incisively: "the less [a scientist] accepts as relevant, the less he can say that is not misleading; the more he accepts as relevant, the less he can say at all." (10) Environmental science is vulnerable to attack because striking this balance so often rests on tenuous grounds. …

"Capital By the Pacific" Lima by tejanasueca
Lima Travel Guide: 1,206 reviews and 2,775 photos
Lima is the bustling capital city of Peru situated on the beach of the Pacific Ocean. The older parts of the city, the center, hosts the old governmental buildings and is rich of history. This area also contains nice shopping areas and is a lively place around lunch time.
However, one needs to be very careful here once it gets dark. A better place to stay is in the area Miraflores, situated next to the ocean. Here you will be able to find hotels in all price ranges and also nice hostels. To actually walk down on the beach, one should be careful, but to enjoy the view from atop of the cliffs, preferebly why shopping in the exclusive mall who hugs the side of the cliffs, is certainly a must do. It's a nice, relaxing, and romantic place.
Lima also hosts nice museums that will give travelers a nice overview of the country's rich history before setting out to discover this big country.
- Pros:The views of the ocean are amazing
- Cons:A little too big for my preference...

8 Survivors/Come on! Follow me! Guide
Hi there,
I wrote this in reponse to a thread on here but feel it is a much easier method not requiring any luck to have Janus spawn at the right time or having to beat the three people at cards. I have explained everything in more detail and only aim to help.
If you have any questions or comments please ask and I will be happy to help.
Dead Rising 2 Come On! Follow Me! Guide
Very easy to just do at the start off the game. I would suggest being at least level 20+ for health and attack benefits.
Step 1 Preparation, Elimination and Tiger Salvation:
After rescuing Denyce and before you give Katey her first Zombrex shot you should have the best part of 3 hours spare. We will need to utilise these precious few hours. First thing we want to do is grab the Fireaxe from the safe room leave and just after the first Maintenance room collect the Sledgehammer. Combine these for an awesome weapon capable of doing Ted over in a short time. We will be travlling through the Slot Ranch casino than to the Food Court to the Yutacan Casino (Y.C) which really isn't far. Just read blow as we will grab a few things along the way
Just as a note in the Slot Ranch casino you will go past the Stage with the Stature of Liberty hands on them, go back stage and around to the right, climb the boxes to the right of the maintenance room and follow them around for a quick easy free Zombrex shot.
As soon as you enter the Food Court look left and go into the Wild West restaurant. When in the W.W.R enter the kitchen and grab the two steaks on the counter. Now continue on your way to the Y.C grabbing any food you want on the way.
Enter the Y.C and a few steps in you will get a cut scene. After this kill Ted as quickly as possible (there is a machine gun on top of the Aztec statue thing if you want extra help)
Ted is a really easy psycho and you should be fine. Just watch out for Snowflake. Tame snowflake by throwing steaks at her just before she charges or leaving them on the floor and dodging her attacks. She will need to eat 3 steaks before she chills unless you hit her at all which means she will need a few more to fill her hp and tame her. You should have two already and to get three more (I said to get the extra two in the W.W.R as it just makes it easier) check the rocks to the left inside Snowflakes glass stage where the game places you after the initial cutscene of Ted and Snowflake.
Step 2:
Once tamed (achievement too if you have not already got it) return to the safe room with Snowflake and make sure you examine Snowflake in the room with Katey for an easy PP boost and an achievement for giving Katey a gift if you have not already done so.
Wait around/heal/save/make a weapon until the Katey needs the Zombrex. Give it to her and start first real mission.
Step 3 Lashawndra and Gordan:
Leave the safe room and open the doors to the mall. In front of you you will see Lashawndra, talk to her than collect her bf Gordan in the nearby shop on the right of her.
Step 4 - 2 Survivors with you and collcting Esther:
You will now have L and G following you. Stacey should have text you about Esther the confused old lady in the toy shop. Waypoint and get her. Esther requires you to Carry her but tbh it makes zombie dodgin all the more easier. The Zombies don't seem to grab you as much with a survivor in your arms.
Step 5 - 3 Survivors with you and collecting Chad and Doris:
After Esther is yours take your survivors down the Silver Strip where you should see Chad (shotgun wielding old guy). Ignore him initially and head to the 'Lost' text message waypoint. Talk to Doris and than go back and talk to Chad. Chad will follow you and is your key to Doris joining. Once they have joined make your way back into the Yutacana Casino.
Step 6 - 5 Survivors with you and collcting Lenny:
Once in the Y.C head to the back and into the office (door with EMPLOYEES ONLY on it) and talk to Lenny. Lenny joins because you got rid of Snowflake. Whilst back in the Y.C climb up the aztec statue thing where the LMG is and now spawned is another Zombrex. This Zombrex doesn't spawn during the Ted fight for some reason. So now you have 2 extra doses within the first 12 hours - nice!
Step 7 - 6 Survivors with you and collecting Jack and Kenneth:
Leave the Y.C from where you entered having now recieved the 'Welcome to the family' text. At this point I personally did not have this so instead I went ahead and did the missions 1-1,1-2 and 1-3. The survivors will not go through anything hazardous so don't worry. After I finished mission 1-3 I got the Welcome to the family text.
I entered the area Jack and Kenneth are in and faced the door and set a way point on it so I didn't have to drag the crew through the mall just go back on myself. Jack is great too as he has the Knights helmet which you can gain off him during the Ante Up! call a.k.a strip poker.
Anyways speak to Jack at the back and after a short conversation you should have them join. Bang achievement unlocked in the easiest manner which doesn't require you to give any items to anyone, sets you up in the best possible starting position and gives massive PP. Also case 1-4 finishes with you in the safe room so you can start Case 2 with a perfectly clean slate ready for any achievements you want in the rest of the playthrough.
In short:
Collct Steaks from W.W.R And go to Y.C.
Kill Ted and Tame Snowflake.
Go to the safe room and give Katey the Zombrex.
Collect Lashawndra and Gordan in front of you as you leave safe room.
Collect Esther - Should have call by now, grab her.
Then collect Doris and Chad (Lost radio text) on your way to collecting Lenny in the office of Yucutan casino (only available after taming/killing Snowflake)
Get Lenny
Then you can either do the case 1-1.1-2.1-3 which I did as I was unnecessarily worried bout time on it. Or wait until you get the call for Welcome to the Family.
Collect Kenneth and Jack and pop goes the achievement.
I hope everyone finds this helpful and please any feedback would be kind. If you have questions I will be happy to answer.
Thank you

Just tried it and it worked like a charm! Kudos!
Just one thing, for me the Welcome to the family-call initially didn't came up!
Reason: at the same time as i was rounding up my first six survivors the call for the luscious lady in the Americana casino came up.
I had to kill her before the message for Jack and Kenneth showed up.
(Or, if I think about it know, I could have taken her with me to the save house. Whilst leaving the other six in another corner waiting, and after that move on with the other 6 to Jack and Kenneth.)
So it might be handy to put it into your guide!

Tried this, but it wouldn't give me the "Welcome to the family" scoop... So I was stuck with 6 people. Tried to get that woman, Kirsten I think, in the casino security room (the drunk one) hoping on another survivor to show up somewhere. I started running to the safe house leaving the 7 survivors outside, to make it intime for the end of the case (1-4). So figuring I wouldn't get the scoop with 7 people on me already, I dropped Kirsten off at the safe house. Still nothing happened, so I just ran outside with the whole crew of 6 survivors still behind me! I didn't trigger the bike psycho tho
Outside, after visiting the shop from the scoop (can't remember the name for it), I finaly got my "Welcome to the family" message! I was quite happy at that moment
So in the end your guide helped me alot, I got 2 achievements thanks to it, 3 if you count the stick 'em up one!
Thanks alot, great guide!
Haha, Iede Klaas mentioned the same thing, I pressed the reply button an hour ago orsomething.

Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestions guys.
If anyone is concerned about this a possible alternate route would be to take Lenny back with Snowflake after you have tamed her. Than instead of losing Lucious lady you could get her.
Also if anyone is worried about the 50 survivor achievement and Lucious Lady is around, kill her as you found the extra survivors Lenny and the Snowflake already. Meaning that if you are diligent and collect every survivor and give or take a few extras you will get it.
I was unlucky enough to miss it by 2 on my first playthrough! It's nowhere near as hard as the first game. Anyways thanks guys. glad I could help.
I don't understand what I've done wrong.
I saved that first survivor, then tiger. Returned them back to safe room.
Went ahead and get couple that's outside Safe room - then Instead of old lady call, I get Lost... call so I went and get both. I get Old Lady call, then went and carried her. Got Lenny, then that's six.
Then it's where I'm stuck. I tried kill her, but I kept getting boss scoops (which Iv'e took care of as well survivor) and when I sort them out so its down to six again, I still HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY SCOOPS.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong :/

Hi Seven, I have no idea but one maybe that you are in the mall in which Kenneth and jack spawn? Try hanging around outside. I hope it works out if not may e restate? I know it's a pain but alas things never rub smoothly on dead rising but that's also what makes it the crazy fun game it is.
Let me know how it goes and if I can help further

saved denyce then went to snowflake then headed back to katey but
only took snowflake in (lt + Y at the back wall and snowflake should get the door icon any way)
then got the next 2 then got the call for chad and doris putting me at 5
while getting doris and chad got the call for esther went to get her then went to larry
now at 7 i went to rebbeca and she gave me the achieve (glad she counts)
allso to help i gave them weapons
they accept hand guns found them on the cops
Maybe it's easier if you just let Katie die? Even though I don't like that idea... :P I'm going to give it a try if I can't nail this one right with EviL Bettee's way. I just need to kill boss first, and see if I get 4 geeks one.
EDIT: As in, it won't trigger any story cases (since you failed to cure Katie) so meaning no slots taken up by story survivors?
Ignore my gamercard on here, it's not
working for some reason.
This sig is 100% accurate as of date

Great guide dude!
Worked perfectly, however i did a few things extra. I escorted Doris and Chad before going for Esther.
And once i had 6, the "Welcome to the Family" wasn't coming through so instead i went and completed "One's Man Trash" and after i did that the message came through.
I even escorted them all 2 which got me the 10 survivors saved
So once again thanks

If, like me, you screwed up and didn't get Lenny or just didn't worry about this achievement until later in the game, you can get it with this method too! Bear in mind this is harder then the method listed in the OP. That is by FAR the easiest method. This is simply an alternate method. The reason why this method is a lot harder is because of those snipers that show up at this time, and you have to go out of your way to kill them to make this painless.
First :: Case - One Hit Wonder :: Save Bibi and her THREE Survivor friends. This brings you to four survivors. Save at the restroom by her stage and make a dash for the entrance to the Strip via Royal Flush plaza or the front door of the Casino you're in.
Second :: The comedians in the strip that make you listen to their jokes make two more, for a total of 6. Head to the Atlantica.
Third :: Head thru Atlantica Casino and grab mermaid lady. She is #7.
Fourth :: Enter Palisades Mall via Atlantica Casino. Shut survivors you have in the maintainance room immediately to your left. Drop mermaid lady there too. Go rescue the emo kid (the one with the shotgun) from the Palisades Mall. He is #8! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!
Final Steps :: Look, you're conveniently in the same place as the shortcut to Royal Flush Plaza. Take it to Royal Flush Plaza and turn them in. If you don't have the shortcut, bring them back via Atlantica Casino, to the Strip, to the Royal Flush. Or just kill them all. You unlock it as soon as you have 8 people in your party, rescued or not.

I saved both Doctor and the Tiger and sent them to safe house and started fresh Right after giveing Kat her shot at 7am
Saved the two right outside the Safehouse and then went for chad and doris outside
then went for the Old lady in the toy store
I got Call for Jack and the Old man
Went and Got Lenny in Casino Yucatam
Then got Jack and old man and Bing Got the Achevement
and I did have the case "Alive on Location" during all this so the idea that she counts as one 8 slots held no water in my run had no problems doing it this way
Edit: on my way back to Safe house near bathrooms by safehouse hall I got the "Meet the Contestants" Call so that also didnt count as a Slot *yes I still have 8 ppl with me*

I'm starting my 2nd play through and thought I would give this cheivo a shot.
Edit: Yup, didn't get the key until I brought back snowflake.
Got the chievo 1st try. Collected them in this order..Lashawndra, Gordan, Chad (exchange his shotgun for a handgun or melee), Doris, Jack, Kenneth, Esther and Rebecca. Lil diff then the guide but worked out fine just the same.
Wish I had picked up Lenny like you advised. Would have then saved the whole bunch before I went to meet Rebecca and not had them follow me around any more.

I didn't even try for this, was really easy in this game because the AI actually works.. lol
I did this: Around 9:00pmish Sept 27th in Slot Ranch
(Didnt have the mission i just stumbled into the area never had the call lol)
Bibi (Psychopath) - "One Hit Wonder" Turned Good + her 3 hostages Alison
Cameron (Must offer shoulder, Good though you wont get hit really EVER) and Juan
Then took them to Hot Excitorama for 11:00Pm "Two's Company" grabbed
Walter and Royce
Dumped them in the maintenance area between Atlantica Casino and The hotel till 2:00 am. Got mission "Family Feud"
(this is the annoying part but its easy and didn't slow anything down)
Run to The F.C. Hotel with everyone take the elevator up talk to Lillian she tells you to go get Camille first. so now leave with everyone to Atlantica Casino.
Right inside park your ppl at the door grab Camille she's right there. head back to the roof at F.C.H grab Lillian.
Achievement unlocked!
Continue to save them or not up to you
100% CoD: Classic, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8
100% Halo 3, 3:ODST, Halo Wars, Reach
Not a big point, but you don't have to find steaks in the Yutucan Casino. There are 3 steaks in the Wild West Kitchen. The two on the counter like you said and there is a third in the middle of the floor leaning against a frying pan.
Other than that, great guide, I did it a similiar way.

Hey here's something you may want to add...
While you are doing the case files and helping Rebecca, she takes you to the arena security room. In this room, there is a magazine called, "rescue" that gives you 25% more PP for survivors. Adds a nice boost on top of the PP you receive for saving everyone.

That's actually an AMAZING tip. I carried that magazine from picking it up to finish and never thought about it in retrospect, if you carry that book you will be VERY happy you did.
By the end of my playthru I was at lvl 40 due to that and the 25% Psycho PP bonus book.

Just attempted this now. I managed to get Welcome To The Family to pop up straight away by unlocking the Pawnshops straight after I picked up Lenny (Number 6) from Yucatan.
I sugest trying that, then back tracking from there to Palisades to get the last two. This is all before going to see Rebecca at the Hotel.

I think doing the case files you mentioned are very important, I didnt do them and ended up not getting the Welcome to the Family side mission, also didnt get the other one.
Also, you shouldn't save Vikki from Brandon, I tried this to see if I could get any clear slots for survivors but since Psychos count and the contestants side mission should still be there, you wont get another mission pop up, unless you kill some members of your team, or kill the contestant, which is harder with survivors with you as he aims for them instead of you.
I'll be trying this tomorrow or later again, this time doing the case files, although Im confused, people say Rebecca counts as a survivor so does that mean I have to kill her off to get this side mission to appear?
EDIT: I just retried, took an even easier route than the OP did, this way is glitch proof (eg. you do not need to worry about the Welcome to the Family not popping up).
1. Get Denyce - DO NOT save her yet.
2. Kill Ted and Snowflake, Denyce should be able to take it, heal her afterwards if needed.
3. Get Lenny.
4. Go to Safe house, making sure NONE of the survivors have the door icon over their heads when you enter, also make sure its 7am, or near 7am, you dont want to be going in too soon and them dying because you left them out too long, give Katey her zombrex.
5. Get the couple that are in the mall when you exit, one is straight in front of you, when other is in shop to your right.
6. Message "Lost" will pop up, go get Chad and his girl, talk to Chad first as the girl won't follow you until she sees him.
7. Message "Shortsighted" should pop up now, go get the old lady, carry her.
8. Now do the story cases 1-2 (once you talk to Rebecca in this one, the achievement will pop), then case 1-3, then case 1-4 as that lands you back to the safe house where you should be headed for the survivor PP points.

tried the top method with someone else twice didn't get welcome to the family pop up, we also had ester bug out when we went into the security room while the other person was holding her, she teleported back to her start location.
not entirely sure what we did wrong, but im annoyed we failed to get it, only thing i can think of is a time element maybe did the rebecca thing too early and since she was up they didn't spawn.
a later go we went for the 4 nerds the 2 casino junkies and that was it no other spawns happened i was expecting the 2 in the arena to show but that didn't happen. it hates me i understand that now

edit: worked flawlessly. like i said i went and did snowflake/ted first, brought back lenny with me, saved denyce and returned to the safe room with only snowflake (who ALWAYS is rescued when you enter the safe room, even if hes on hte other side of the mall). then did the black couple/ the "lost" quest and esther totalling 7 people, talked to rebecca in 2-1 and it popped. loads of time spare at every bit.

Alright guys I just got this. And let me explain how I did it. Most of it I used from the startpost but there are a few issues with that guide.
I saved Denyce, got the Zombrex, killed Ted, tamed Snowflake and then gave Katey Zombrex. Your game gets saved.
I grabbed LaShawndra and Gordon.
Headed out to the strip, did the Pawn Shop mission and went for Chad. He followed me and I grabbed Doris.
By now I got the call for Esther. I pointed my survivors in a shop near the safehouse and went to get her. I dropped Esther off at the safehouse (not the others!).
By now I did get the call 'Welcome to the family' and headed to Shanks via the Hot Excitorama shop on the strip.
After that I headed to Yucatan and grabbed Lenny.
Headed to the hotel for case 1:2.
Achievement unlocked, apparantly Cassandra counts.
Then I headed to the Americana casino for the lushious lady (drunk chick), carried her and the other 7 survivors to the safehouse.
Now why did I do it this way? I didn't get the call in the first try for 'Welcome to the family' but I did get lushious lady.
That's why I dropped off Esther at my second attempt. But apparantly Cassandra counted and unlocked the achievement for me. But I still escorted 8 to the safe house including the drunk chick.
Hope this helps!
