Supported databases:
DBConvert/ DBSyns for FoxPro and SQLite migration solutions provide efficient and comfortable way to convert and sync data from obsolete MS FoxPro to SQLite databases and reversely. Software supports MS Visual FoxPro database (.dbc) and MS Visual FoxPro free tables (.dbf) as well. You can even setup a folder with multiple .dbf files as a source.
Microsoft stopped supporting FoxPro in the early 2015. So anyone whose business relies on a FoxPro database have to think about an alternative database engines to move data to. SQLite would be considered as a good replacement for a small FoxPro database.
If your old FoxPro database is considerably large you can choose another options like Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL.
As well, cross database synchronization between FoxPro and SQLite would be helpful to automate transitional migration tasks.

Empire of the Sun
Buzz about Empire of the Sun's over-the-top live production preceded its arrival Tuesday night at Summerfest's Miller Lite Oasis.

"Old Flavours" was an intense spectacle of bouncy synthesizers, throbbing beats and blinding lights. »Read Full Article(1)

"How far should we go?"
In David Ives' "Venus in Fur," the actress asking that question is ostensibly inquiring about how much of the script to read during her audition.

This summer's most overused movie gimmick

All seem to be a variation of a similar scene in "The Dark Knight Rises," in which the villain Bane proceeds to destroy and escape from the plane on which he is held a prisoner. »Read Full Blog Post(5)

It's sometimes best not to put too much stock in what stars say. Especially when they make grand pronouncements, as did hip-hop megastar Jay Z when he promised to make Philadelphia the envy of American cities by creating a world-class music festival.
Jay Z followed through on his promise and delivered the impossible in 2012: He corralled a disparate group of artists to perform outdoors on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on the last weekend of the summer.
More than 30 acts played, including Nine Inch Nails, Public Enemy, Kings of Leon, Jay Rock, 2 Chainz, and Pharrell Williams.
The work Jay Z, his wife Beyoncé, and their friends put in to create the festival is captured in the new documentary Made in America, directed by Hollywood heavyweight Ron Howard ( The Da Vinci Code, Rush). The film features extensive backstage interviews and performances by the main stars.

ARMADILLO CHRISTMAS BAZAAR CELEBRATES 41 SEASONS OF LEGENDARY MUSICIANS, HOLIDAY SHOPPING and FINE ART
December 14 – 24 2016 • 10am – 10pm daily • Palmer Events Center
(Austin, TX) — Hot music, fine art and cold beer have made the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar the place where Austin shops in the giving season. The show is one of Austin's longest running art and music festivals with a vibrant community-driven vibe. Visitors can explore an amazing array of handmade items from more than 160 artists while enjoying live local music and sips from a full bar. It all adds up to a fun authentic Austin experience.
The 11-day shopping destination and annual tradition for Austinites, celebrates 41 seasons of music and fine art December 14-24, from 10am to 10pm daily at the Palmer Events Center, 900 Barton Springs Road, Austin, Texas 78704.
The Armadillo makes holiday shopping fun in a comfortable, upbeat environment with a dazzling selection of one of a kind, hard to find, fine art and artisan crafts; from collectible pieces to modestly priced stocking stuffers, from stylishly smart to joyfully weird. Over 160 locally and nationally acclaimed artists exhibit their best works, including nearly two-dozen carefully curated newcomers this year. The Armadillo offers art for your home, perfect gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list in every price range, and anything you can imagine that will fit underneath your Christmas tree. A photo gallery of their work is available at ArmadilloBazaar.com.
At least three bands per day perform on the Armadillo stage, with a star-studded music lineup that reads like a who's who of Texas music. The 34 performances range from new and emerging stars to local legends, as well as Grammy winners. Armadillo's intimate stage allows you to experience big Texas musicians in a cozy holiday setting.
Producer Anne Johnson has spent every Christmas Eve of her life at the Armadillo. "It wouldn't seem like Christmas to me without it," she says. "…and that's not unusual. What's great about the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar is that you have many families attending for decades now, yet it's a perfect holiday shopping event for visitors and tourists as well. It is one of the few 'old Austin' traditions that has survived the influx of festivals and the city's rapid growth – and remained strong. People really appreciate the culture and history," she says. "Plus, everyone loves a good party."
Tickets are $8 for a single-day pass; available at the door, or in advance online. For best value, purchase a season pass (for a limited time), which allows for entry throughout the duration of the show. Free admission for children 12 and under.

IT infrastructures, unlike computing systems which typically concern independent or stand alone systems, is a concept being developed to describe large scale, complex, and networked technologies.
In the last few years we are seeing how technologies to manage IT infrastructures are emerging in the market as well in open communities. These technologies are coming out from the experiences of big companies like google, facebook, twitter etc.
New waves of running IT services are contaminating small and big companies, open and closed communities: these new forms of organization build beneficial IT infrastructures able to scale up and down and maintained by few people. Someone call this phenomenon cloud, who runs in IT stuff call it more organization, new ways of thinking and more work.
OpsCon is an open meeting dedicated to IT Infrastructure & Operations people who want to share / know / announce technologies/ideas in this field. OpsCon wants to be a hacker space.
OPSCon will be held in Florence, at the Grand Hotel Mediterraneo (in Lungarno del Tempio, 44 – 50121 Florence). Here you can find information directly on the Congress center website: http://www.fhhotelgroup.it/ita/globo-congressi/

Hells Angel Accused of 2001 Murder Arrested in Argentina After Nearly Four Years on U.S. Marshals' Most Wanted List
A member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, who authorities believe is responsible for "one of the most grisly" murders in recent American criminal history, has been captured in Argentina, the U.S. Marshals Service announced today.
Paul Merle Eischeid, one of the U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted Fugitives, was captured today in Buenos Aires by Argentinean authorities.
Eischeid is suspected in the 2001 kidnapping and murder of Cynthia Garcia.
According to authorities, Garcia was attacked while at a party at the Hell's Angels' clubhouse in Mesa. She was beaten, thrown in the trunk of a car, and taken to the desert, where she was stabbed and left for dead.

"Eischeid's crimes were horrendous and his potential for continued violence made his arrest a priority for the U.S. Marshals," Stacia A. Hylton, director of the U.S. Marshal Service says in a statement. "His capture is both significant and rewarding, and we thank our domestic and international partners for their tireless persistence in bringing this fugitive to justice."
In 2003, Eischeid was charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office for drug trafficking and RICO violations, including kidnapping and murder. Several other Hells Angels also were
However, in addition to being a member of a ruthless biker gang, Eischeid, 39, is a former Charles Schwab stockbroker with a "relatively clean criminal record." Because he didn't appear to be a flight risk, he was released on his own recognizance and placed on federal pretrial release with electronic monitoring in 2003.
During their investigation, agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives learned Eischeid was likely involved in Garcia's murder. However, after being released from custody, Eischeid had removed the monitoring device and fled Arizona.
He's been on the run ever since and in 2007 was listed amongst the U.S. Marshals' 15 most wanted.
Eischeid will likely be extradited back to Arizona where he faces a first-degree murder charge.

A 75- person stands on a tiny rotating platform with armsoutstretched.
Estimate the moment of inertia of the person using thefollowing approximations: the body (including head and legs) is a60- cylinder, 15 in radius and 1.7 high; and each arm is a 7.5- thin rod, 65 long, attached to the cylinder.
Using the same approximations, estimate themoment of inertia when the arms are at the person's sides.
If one rotation takes 1.6 when the person's arms are outstretched, what is the timefor each rotation with arms at the sides? Ignore the moment ofinertia of the lightweight platform.
Determine the change in kinetic energy whenthe arms are lifted from the sides to the horizontalposition.

Neck surgery about 8 year ago was in awful pain Dr Dorman operated pain was gone when I woke from anathesia
I've had several surgeries with doctor Dorman. The last two on my neck. Long story short he was not honest with me about the second surgery. Instead he sends me to Dallas Texas. That cost me a lot of money that I do not have!! Just so that specialist could tell me the fusion did not take. I asked him if that meant I will be in diabiltatimg pain the rest of my life?? He said and I quote "Yep pretty much" says nothing can be done. Ian so disgusted mentally and physically in so much pain. Why couldn't Dorman tell me I didn't have enough bone to fuse??? So now I barely function. I'm in so much pain most of the time I can't even walk with my walker.
He was my surgeon from 2005 to 2009. On all three occasions the diagnosis and surgeries were very successful. Could not ask for a better staff. Each time Dr Dorman performed above and beyond my expectations.
His staff is amazing..They answered all of my millions of questions, with a smile on their face..
He explained procedure and was very courteous as well as his staff. I have already recommended him to two friends and they were very satisfied also
I couldn't walk for a year but the last 6 monthsI couldn't drive, walk, or even clean my homeThan I found Dr.Dorman and he did my surgery And my life changed! I was walking same day!
I went to Dr. Dorman bc my friend had surgery from him and although hers was not as extensive as mine she recovered well. Hers was a decompression while mine was a full blown fussion of two levels. My first surgery of L4/L5 went well, the pain in the right leg subsided and I was glad. However, immediatly following that surgery i started having pain in the left leg which i had never experianced before. I told Dr. Dorman and he immediatly said I need a second surgery to repair the l5/S1 level. I was very hesitant to have this done but my insurance was fixing to expire so I agreed. Two weeks exactly from my first i was in surgery again to fix the next level below. I still had that same pain as from before and let Dr. D know but his response this time was, "i have to give it time to heal" why wasn't that his answer after the first surgery why immediatly did he say surgery? I was diagnosing my self and recommended physical therapy for myself, he didn't. I attended that but it was really no help. I told Dr. dorman 8 months after surgery that I was still having pain. So, he ordered another MRI but without contrast. He then reviewed them and said, "everyhing looks fine and I don't think there is any thing else i can do so you need to see a pain managemnet Dr." I was faborgasted because I knew in my own body something was wrong. Just today, a year later from both surgeries i went to see a neurologist and he confirmed what I had a feeling of.... I now have severe nerve damage in my left leg and loosing muscle in my leg as well. Dr. Dorman didn't care what I had to say months ago when I complained about my pain and tingleness in my left leg. He could of easily ordered this nerve conduction test at that time but didn't. Luckily, I have medical experiance and have worked with some true spine surgeons and know what to look out for and ordered a nerve conduction test on my own, NO THANKS TO HIM!!!!! So, needless to say I will NOT be going back to him!!!!
Dr. Dorman injured my spine for life by performing a faulty surgery. He could care less about my pain and suffering.Disabled for life at 42. Thanks doc.
Dr. Abijay referred me to Dr Dorman for Degenerative Disc Disease and a pinched nerve causing me severe muscle cramps. Dr Dorman couldn't 'see' a problem except for my Scoliosis which I had surgery for back in like 1975. Yet, Dr. Abijay pointed straight to the DDD and pinched nerve on my MRI! Dr. Dorman also said I should see a pain management Dr. for my muscle spasms! He's a joke.
After my back surgery, I was in worse pain than before. After 1 or 2 followups, his staff told me that Dr. Dorman did not want to see me again. I made suggestion that perhaps new film might be helpful, was told by staff that he said if I were still in pain I should get referred to a pain management doctor.
He's an amazing doctor.

Vt House panel OKs end-of-life bill
MONTPELIER The Vermont House is closing in on passing a bill that would allow physicians to prescribe a lethal dose of medication to terminally ill patients who want to end their lives.
A version approved Friday by the House Judiciary Committee moves closer to the legislation as it was originally introduced in the Senate than what eventually passed there.
The action sets up a likely battle in a conference committee in the waning weeks of the 2013 session.
The version that passed the Senate would relieve physicians and patients family members of civil or criminal liability in the event of a patient taking a lethal dose of medication.
The House version restores more safeguards, including by saying that immunity would not apply if there was misconduct by caregivers.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Democratic gubernatorial nominee Sue Minter says she will seek tax fairness as...

Area fire companies will have some extra money to spend on equipment and additional firefighters, thanks to federal largesse.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency recently announced that it was awarding more than $1.8 million in grants under two programs to fire companies in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties.
A big winner was the Tinicum Township Fire Company in Delaware County. With its $549,600 share, it added eight full-time firefighters - who started last week - to bolster its volunteer force.

The Beatles have been all over the news last week, thanks to the 50 year milestone (Feb 9) of the iconic pop band's first performance in The Ed Sullivan Show. Looks like Apple is celebrating and they're doing it in a big, never-before way. They have launched a new channel on the Apple TV simply named, The Beatles.
In case you were wondering what's the status of the Apple TV 3 jailbreak, here is what a top iOS hacker MuscleNerd had to say when asked if he is aware of anyone working on this jailbreak:
After iH8sn0w, the developer behind Sn0wBreeze, announced that he had discovered an iBoot exploit that makes A5(X) devices jailbreakable for life, there was a confusion whether it could be used to jailbreak the Apple TV 3 or not. The clarification came from MuscleNerd (who was, by the way, the first to predict that Apple TV 3 will be "a tough cookie to crack"):
How many times have you lost your tiny Apple TV remote? It's countless, I know. At least now we have something to do about it. Chicago-based Tinsel & Timber has come up with one of the most elegant looking Apple TV holders we've ever seen.
If you turn on your Apple TV right now, you'll see that the above icon has been squeezed into your home-screen. Yeah that's right, Red Bull TV is now showing over Apple TV.
Till a couple of days back, finding Apple TV's product page on Apple.com was a bit difficult thanks to its mysterious location in the Accessories section for iPods. Generally I used to resort on Google to find it rather than taking the pain in browsing through the website. However, that shouldn't be a problem from now on, as Apple TV has been promoted to occupy one of the tabs besides Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad at the Apple online store. In addition, Apple TV now has its own pages for accessories, community and refurbishes.

I also found her commercial online i'll have to post it and show you. Today we are doing a crazy casting if she gets it I will have very exciting news but i'm not supposed to talk about it yet. cross your fingers at 2:00!!!

It was in 1996 when the U.S. Congress passed Megan's Law in response to the sexual crime committed against a seven-year-old girl who was raped and killed by her neighbor in 1994. The Megan's Law is a federal mandate which requires law enforcement agencies to make available to the public any relevant information about sex offenders visiting, living and working in their communities; information, which should include a sex offender's name, photo, residential address, nature of crime and incarceration date, can be published in pamphlets or newspapers and/or posted in free public websites.
After their release from custody, sex offenders, especially those whose victims were children, are legally required to notify local law enforcement authorities (for up to 10 years or permanently) regarding changes in their address or employment. Failure to make this notification is considered a felony in many states.
Sex crimes, especially those committed against children, are very serious offenses. Though offenders only deserve the harsh punishments imputed on them, it cannot be denied that there is a great number of those who are convicted despite being innocent. Their only fault is either the lack of proof to exonerate them or their having a weak defense during trial. The consequences of these are a ruined future or a conviction that will destroy both their personal career and community life, which are worse than time in jail.
The most commonly reported types of sex crimes include:
In order to protect children, especially, different federal laws have been passed, like the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, the Sexual Offender Act of 1994 (or the Megan's Law as it is known at the federal level) and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.
As mentioned in a website named "Brent Horst Attorney At Law," an offender whose crime may be identified as sexual in nature will, upon conviction, be required to register as a sex offender. This means that the state can maintain in a public Internet database any relevant information about him or her (including his or her identity, whereabouts, employer, criminal history, and so forth); information that anyone can republished in any form for any purpose.
To clear one's name from the sex crime he or she is being charged with, as well as keep any information about him or her from being posted online for anyone to see, it will need enough proof and the most convincing defense from a seasoned criminal defense lawyer. A lawyer short of this grade may jeopardize any attempt to clear the name of the accused.
According to the International Air Transport Association, there were 38 million flights in 2014 which carried about 3.3 billion people to different parts of the globe. From 2011 to 2013, US' yearly shares of passengers were 734 million, 739 million and 744 million.
With only 600+ casualties every year, the Aviation Safety Network, as well as many other transportation authorities, believes that air travel is still the fastest and safest means of long-distance transportation. It is true, however, that despite the rarity of accidents, if ever one does occur, consequences are often tragic, resulting to trauma, severe injuries or death.
Whenever a commercial plane gets involved in an accident, the most often thought-of cause of the accident is pilot error. While many accidents in the past have indeed been due to this particular cause, there are other causes which have resulted to more tragic results, such as faulty airplane part which is actually a manufacturing defect, a ground maintenance worker failing to detect a damaged part, or a mistake committed by an air traffic controller. It is any one of these mistakes which, more than pilot error, has resulted to a plane crashing or two planes colliding with each other, killing everyone on board, both passengers and crew.
On its website, the firm Williams Kherkher explains that the government has assigned a preset compensation value for each passenger onboard a plane that meets an accident. Despite this preset amount of compensation, passengers are not refrained from taking further legal action against the airline company and all others connected to the accident. Passenger should know, however, that law firms are prohibited by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) from contacting them or their families within 45 days after the accident; there is no rule, though, which prohibits passengers from initiating the communication with an aviation accident or personal injury lawyer.
Since airline and insurance companies are very likely to settle with the victims within days after the accident, it is very important for the victims to first fully know their rights regarding compensation.
You face plenty of hazards when driving on the road. Sadly, vehicular accidents are common and have become part of what you ought to consider when you're riding inside almost any vehicle. According to data assembled by the US Census Bureau, there were 10.8 million auto accidents in the year 2009. 35,900 of the injuries lead to fatalities.
Both government and non-government companies have already been working hard to make sure these numbers do not rise in the years that are coming. Automobile accidents are one of the leading causes of harm in the US, as the CDC Injury Prevention and Control recorded. It's clear that advocating for road safety should be a top priority.
Accidents occur in a split second, but the aftermath can last for many years. Everybody ought to be made conscious of the things they can do to prevent harms that were unnecessary, to keep everyone safe. There are security practices you can follow to help ensure the people's safety.
Here are a few avoidance strategies and safety techniques it is possible to apply while on your way.
In addtion to these practices, additional care should be taken by drivers of smaller vehicles like motorcycles and bicycles. Sheboygan personal injury attorneys would likely mention that individuals on motorcycles, bicycles, and other related automobiles face a tad more threat than the others they share the road with due to their size. Even mild collisions can be hazardous. They can easily be missed by other drivers in vehicles that are bigger while on the road. Aside from taking care on the road, motorcycle and bike riders should wear safe helmets and other protective gear.
Avoiding injuries and unwanted accidents on the highway is a task that is big, but it is possible. Do not forget that you are sharing the road with a lot of other people. We are all accountable to make sure that the routes remain safe for everybody.
Getting divorced without children definitely isn't a pleasant experience, however, getting divorced with kids make it seem like a walk in the park. The website of Arenson Law Group, PC, points out the difficulties of family issues and the challenges that all parties involved in a divorce can face. It's difficult to predict how your child may react to the announcement of a divorce. It will change depending on personality and age, but there are steps you can take to cushion the blow of the news. These steps can make the process much easier for the child and for you.
Don't discuss particulars of the divorce unless the children directly pertain to them. Does your child have to understand who is their main provider for FAFSA types? Of course. But keep other issues of the divorce such as the division of the money and possible added animosity created by the process of the divorce between you and your spouse. The last thing your kid wants right now is to question either one of their parents' decisions. Your kids should be surrounded by as much positivity as possible during this time. That being said, in the event that your and you soon-to-be ex get into fights, keep it from eyesight and earshot of your child.
Currently, have the rough plan of how you two may manage things such as custody, visitation privileges, and wherever your child will go to school when you inform your child, but allow them to know that things can alter whenever they don't like the agreement the both of you decided. Sorting out the facts of custody can be emotionally challenging, but remember the less burden you put on your child, the greater the relationship with them will be and the much more likely you'll see them, especially when they get older. While the process of divorce may be hard on yourself and your spouse alone, helping your child cope with the divorce should be a high priority.
The arrival of a kid is definitely an event worth celebrating. However, the joyful entry of a kid to the world may be damaged by information of a problem endured because of an error prior to, during, or following birth. From a small bruise or a scratch, which demands simple care, to some critical complications that may result to lifelong suffering and impairment which, consequently, require constant and costly treatments, as well as death – the effects of birth injuries vary as there are many different types.
According to the website of The Driscoll Firm P.C., a few of the most frequently reported birth injuries include:
A few of the reasons for the debilitating afflictions endured by infants during birth contain:
When an unforeseen complication during delivery happens, such as a sudden change in a newborn infant's position, failures or these errors usually happen.
A birth injury happens when a blunder is made by the attendant caring for the individual during labor and delivery. Several birth injuries require costly treatment, besides creating discomfort and the infant/kid and his or her family great pain.
Victims of medical negligence (resulting in birth injuries),should not hesitate to contact a medical negligence lawyer, who can help them understand regulations regarding medical mistakes. These legal professionals may also aid victims fight for their right, especially the right to be paid by the party responsible for the birth injury.
The justice system has evolved with a more extensive comprehension of human experience. The absolutism of rights and wrongs continues to be questioned again and again, as a way to guard the best interest of the innocent and of those who cannot shield themselves. The conditions surrounding divorce, for instance, have been around since the ancient Athenian days. The practice has subsequently seen itself regularly developing and has found itself almost universally acknowledged in virtually every nation as a proper.
No one reasonable going into union with the intent of their union dissolving promptly. It is usually noted as the fairytale beginning for several partners, wanting their life together as the very first page in a productive and long relationship. It isn't always that way, however. For an excessive period of time, the only justifiable cause that gave partners the right to divorce was mistrust. It's gotten more and more complicated as time goes on and managing a divorce agreement might be stressful and complicated. According to the attorneys on the site of Arenson Law Group, PC, the reasons for divorce and also any other events associated with the case further confuse the case and this results into the truth that no case is exactly the same. This is one of several reasons why having a qualified lawyer on your side can prove to be extremely helpful.
Filing for divorce for your own personal individual security, for instance, is a right that is sensible among the highest-ranking factors for divorce in the existence of domestic abuse inside the relationship. Abuse victims are unwilling to even report the mistreatment, out of concern of retaliation or to declare the divorce. The victim's safety can be guaranteed by getting legal action against an abusive partner, along with the kids involved (if there are any). On the other hand, the emotional outcomes involved are incredible and should be managed with great empathy, sensitivity, and care.
US Food and Drug Administration's acceptance of the da Vinci surgical system for use in minimally invasive operations offered surgeons the ability to execute surgeries using accuracy with the highest precision and hospitals, a higher degree of quality to look after individuals. The da Vinci surgical system, a multi- robotic surgical device is so far the sole surgical system that has been qualified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to carry soft-tissue surgical procedures out. The da Vinci surgical system manufacturing company, Intuitive Surgical Inc., is an American company located in Sunnyvale, Ca.
The device is most commonly found in processes like the removal of gallbladders, cancerous bladders and prostrates, shrinking of the stomach, heart valve repair, organ transplant, cystectomies, ureteral reimplantation and reconstruction of new bladders. A qualified or trained doctor who is positioned a couple of feet from the operating table operates the device. The da Vinci provides him/her with an enlarged image of the surgical site, while its other arms, that can handle 360 degrees movement and tipped with all the necessary (removable) devices, perform the surgery through their command (via the employment of a system).
Unlike in open (or invasive) surgery, where the surgeon makes incisions as long as four inches to enable them to reach into the patient's body organs, the da Vinci device, in minimally invasive operations, requires only to make tiny holes, a few millimeters in length, which are big enough for the endoscope as well as the devices to go into. Their small dimensions account for less loss of blood, very little stitches, less discomfort, rapid individual recovery and reduced hospital bills due to shortened hospital stays, although there could be numerous incisions. More than all these, yet, what created many doctors to celebrate the da Vinci is its ability for precision and zero chance for illness (surgical site infection is the reason for many individual deaths, asserting more than the usual hundred of thousand lives annually in the US).
The ability of the da Vinci device has won the interest of numerous hospitals in Europe, the US, and Japan. As a result, in mid of 2013, Intuitive Surgical Inc. mentioned that it has currently sold at least 2,000 models to hospitals around the world and that the number of surgical procedures where the device has been used has has already reached more than half of a a million.
It seems, however, that with the rise in the quantity of successful operations there is also an increase in the number of injuries due to the use of the machine. Ahead of the onset of operation besides physical failure, there are also reported cases of rips, internal bleeding, burns, illness or sepsis and wrongful-death. Due to these injuries, several people have hired da Vinci surgical robot attorneys and filed suit against Instinctive. According to the website of the National Injury Law Center, some of the cases that were particular reported include:
Many surgeons claim that it might require more than several (some say more than 100) surgeries before one would eventually not be completely uncomfortable utilizing the da Vinci. Training is held for just two days and though assisted by yet another skilled surgeon during a real operation errors may still be bound to occur.
But such premise just contributes to the question: Is the explanation for adverse outcomes actually the device or the possible lack of expertise by the doctor? Inspections that will really determine the purpose behind the adverse effects are still being conducted; meanwhile, hospitals with the da Vinci continue to be flocked by patients who need to undergo surgery and desire to be operated on using the equipment.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a million individuals are now living in nursing homes and other similar long-term treatment facilities in the United States. These institutions provide numerous people who have accessibility to full-time attention and care which may unavailable within their very own homes due to particular restraints. As a result, rest homes are a significant fixture in the healthcare community, supplying the care demanded of many senior citizens' special condition. Particularly for individuals that are elderly, these institutions are safe and trusted spaces.
Alas, the truth about nursing homes is far from this perfect scenario. While there are a great number of associations that provide their residents with the best possible care and succeed by them, there are also several that overstep the trust put to them by the general public. As mentioned at the website of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, abuse in nursing homes is a way too common issue happening across the country. Physical mistreatment in the shape of beating, pushing, and attack are common but remain unreported by victims. Sexual assault is another difficulty dealt by some residents in nursing facilities, in addition to exploitation and psychological maltreatment.
These disturbing episodes of nursing home abuse could be prevented through raising much-needed knowledge throughout the issue. Families who place their trust to take care of their nearest and dearest must know about these crushing offenses often happen without their knowledge. Keeping an eye out for warning signals of mistreatment can be the first thing to do to put a stop to such actions that are horrendous. Mysterious injuries, for example, cuts and bruises are a reason for alarm, in addition to unanticipated bodily changes like unexpected weight reduction. Households must also be observant of the dynamic between their loved one and their caretaker. It could be a sign that something very wrong is afoot should families appear peaceful around some people of the personnel or intimidated.
Nursing house staff are under exactly the same obligations as additional healthcare providers are. Breaching the implied trust placed on them by occupiers and their families through any actions may be regarded as a gross misconduct.
Sufficient comprehension and skills are required for a person to be legally permitted to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), like a tow truck and a bus, but more so a truck, also called an 18-wheeler or big rig. Trucks are generally 70 feet long and about 40 tons or 80,000 lbs. heavy, therefore, acting as possible threats to the several other smaller automobiles these share the road with.
The Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 mandates that only qualified drivers are issued a commercial driver's license, while people who are untrained or unsafe are taken out of the road; this is to assist and ensure road safety at all times. Adherence to the Act is enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) of the United States Department of Transportation. Besides this, the FMCSA also implements other rules which will help decrease the likelihood of truck accidents, like the 11-hour maximum driving period, which can be part of a trucker's 14-hr duty. This maximum driving time regulation contains a 10 consecutive hour off-duty period to make sure each time drivers get behind the wheel that they do not suffer from sleepiness or fatigue.
With truck driver fatigue effectively addressed, the Department of Transport has the ability to give attention to other variables that are similarly considered critical to highway safety: truck defect and malfunction, particularly brake malfunction. This is because brake failure was recognized as another major cause of accidents involving trucks, mishaps that typically lead to deadly outcomes or severe injuries. Variables that constitute a brake failure include overheated brakes, thin or worn out brake parts, brakes suffused with oil or fat, or worn tires.
Where trucks or 18-wheelers are concerned, brakes are among their most critical functions. To maintain these vehicles' braking systems as secure and effective, the federal government has created criteria to which manufacturers must firmly comply. Federal requirements demand that the braking system must enable a vehicle to slow till it comes to a full stop at a rate unique to a force and its dimension according to its weight. Failure to meet with federal standards can result to something that is significantly worse than only offending government rules; it can lead to a catastrophic road accident that kill others and will seriously hurt some individuals.
According to the website of Ausband & Dumont, considering the important role large trucks play in the nation's economy, it is almost impossible to avoid sharing the road with them. But as a result of the numerous incorporated physical and computer systems that these trucks use, any defect or failure may potentially lead to a collision, which could totally and instantly alter the life span of the victim and his/her family. Therefore, in case of an accident, it's completely recommended that the sufferer get in touch with a Texas truck accident attorney immediately for the legal actions that he/she has the right to choose in addition to to ensure that he or she receives the total quantity of compensation that can cover all present and future damages resulting from the accident.
Dogs are the most common family pet in the US and households having up to twelve dogs in their own homes are a familiar sight too many. These animals are very lovable and, though, some may not really seem enchanting, this lack is compensated by their playfulness and devotion to their care-takers or masters.
The adorable features of these creatures, which have actually been depicted in a few movies, present a startling contrast, though, to reviews of canine bites round the nation which, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) amount to 800,000 each year.
Only certain breeds of dogs cause bite injuries, however, and such breeds have now been recognized as obviously more hostile than other dogs. Topping the list of the "more hostile" dogs are Pit bull terriers (and their mixes) and Rottweiler. Between 2005 and 2012, at least 250 lethal attacks on children and seniors involved Pit bulls.
Since the majority of those bitten are owners' young children and older adults, some consider dog-bite injuries as simple, minor wounds. But in reality, many bites cause lacerations, nerve harm and, as stated in the website of David Ravid & Associates, scarring, broken bones, disfigurement, and maybe even death.
Dog-bite injuries are mostly suffered by young boys aged four to nine years old, but children who suffer the most wounding and worst attacks, which are on the head or throat, below four years old. The truth is, on account of the harshness of these attacks, several youngsters are no longer able to recuperate.
CDC nevertheless firmly enforces the leash law, which needs pet owners to place a leash on their dogs, especially if they're going to take their dogs for a walk, although dogs could be trained. In all states, dog-owners may also be kept accountable for injury or any damage that their canine/s may cause.

Furmiston, Carsphairn in South West Scotland is home to the Heatherley Fold of Highland Cattle and Pedigree Beef Shorthorns.
- This was a large Fold of Pedigree Highland Cattle reared commercially on rough Scottish moorland. One hundred and twenty pedigree cows, plus young stock, have been run on the hill, with a percentage crossed with the shorthorn bull. Our Highland Cattle numbers have been cut back and now we have established a small herd of Beef Shorthorns.
- This hardy Fold of Highlanders, and now Shorthorns has been established to suit the type of land and the lack of buildings on the farm, i.e. the cattle are all outwintered and reared naturally.

If you're still subscribed to Beats Music instead of Apple Music, your days are numbered. Until January 19, you have the opportunity to save all of your playlists and migrate your account data over to Apple Music if you wish to do so. But after that, Apple will discard of your current data.
Apple is killing Beats Music this month
Apple has confirmed that it will shut down its Beats Music streaming service on November 30. The news comes just days after Apple Music finally arrived on Android, and users are being encouraged to switch over to its new platform.
A day with Beats 1: Eclectic, star-studded, but slightly meh
Open your iOS 8.4 Music app and start listening. Beats 1 radio went live today at 9 a.m. Pacific time or 12 p.m. Eastern time, one hour after the launch of Apple Music itself. But is it any good? I'm your fellow music lover here to answer that question in as much depth as possible based on some first impressions.
First, a little background: Apple's own radio station billed as "programs from people who love music" will stay live 24/7, broadcasting in over 100 countries. The station promises interviews with A-list celebrities and even radio shows hosted by the celebrities themselves every so often. They'll create their own playlists and mixes and broadcast some of their favorite tunes. Jaden Smith will have his own show, so prepare to have an existential crisis.
Apple Music coming to Sonos, but there's bad news
There's good news and bad news for Beats Music and future Apple Music users alike. Apple has confirmed that the new music service will arrive for Sonos apps and speakers, but unfortunately not right away. It turns out integration won't be ready in time for the big launch tomorrow, June 30, but the two companies are working together to bring Apple Music to Sonos as soon as possible.
The one advantage Spotify has over Apple Music
Apple Music may come with a long list of advantages over rivals like Spotify — such as real radio and a super-affordable family plan — but there's one thing it's lagging behind on, and that's music quality… or so it seems.
The highest bitrate Apple Music will offer is 256 kbps, which is lower than the 320 kbps offered by Spotify, Rdio, Tidal, and Apple's own Beats Music service.

BrianSmudawrote a review of Sorel Sentry Original Boot - Men's on August 10, 2015
Good looks. Great performance.
Aside from having zero traction on ice these boots are super warm and tall enough to block the snow from coming in. Not too bulky on the calf so you can fit your pant over the laces.

Borthwick and Tremlett impress at Durham
Watch highlights of day one between Durham and Surrey
Scott Borthwick's career-best 135 defied the best efforts of Chris Tremlett as Durham reached in LV= County Championship Division One clash at the Emirates Durham ICG.
With South Africa's Hashim Amla making his debut, struggling Surrey put Durham in and Tremlett struck in the second over on his way to claiming all the wickets on day one.
Tremlett bowled in short spells until he took three wickets in seven overs with the second new ball to finish with 5-51 from 22 overs.
Borthwick was at the crease to face the 12th ball of the day and batted until five overs from the close, when he was lbw aiming to play through midwicket.
Durham's season had faded badly in recent weeks, but head coach Geoff Cook was back for this match after a two-month absence following his heart attack.
He would have been delighted with Borthwick's third-wicket stand of 183 with Will Smith, who made 87 before he was lbw to Tremlett's first delivery with the new ball. It was the third time he had struck in the first over of a spell.
The other seamers were out of luck on a pitch which offered some movement. They all beat the bat and Zander de Bruyn had a very confident shout for lbw with Borthwick on 13 - but the only chance the 23-year-old all-rounder gave was to Gary Wilson at first slip on 131, which was promptly dropped.
He showed great maturity, combining patience with high-class strokes, in compiling his third century of the season off 199 balls with 16 fours.
On his return to the side following his suspension, Gareth Batty's decision to field first looked like being vindicated when Mark Stoneman pushed forward to Tremlett's fifth ball and edged to wicketkeeper Steve Davies.
Durham were 23 for one after 11 overs, but Keaton Jennings and Borthwick took 20 runs off the next three, bowled by Tim Linley and de Bruyn.
Jennings proved adept at working the ball behind square on either side of the wicket and also played a couple of nice drives before falling for 35 on Tremlett's return in the 28th over.
The stand was worth 68 when Tremlett hit the right spot with his sixth ball and an edge carried low to de Bruyn at second slip.
Smith had nine fours in his 98-ball half-century, only his second of the season, but once he had gone Michael Richardson swiftly followed, taken down the leg side by Davies.
