Product Questions
You will want to use the lights programming to dim them down, but because you can scale the light to basically anywhere from 0 to 100% of its output it won't really ever be too bright because you can turn it down to whatever level you want.
These lights can run off of the ecotech battery back up. I have included the link below! Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
The XR30 will have a spread of 30" x 24" and could work with slight shadowing towards the far edges of the tank. Ideally 2 of the XR15's would be able to spread the light optimally across the tank. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
I am setting a 120 Gal tank and I will like to put two of this Radion Pro on it. However the size of the tank is 48"x24"x24", do you guys think that two Radions will be ok for this tank?
Thank you
It depends on the types of corals, placement, etc, but generally speaking 2 XR30w Pro's will be just fine on a tank that size.
I have a 30"x30"x30" cube. Will 1 XR30 pro due?
The XR30 has a maximum spread of 30" and on a 36" long tank you will encounter very low light around the egdes as well as intense shadows. Two XR15's would be ideal for a 36" long tank allowing you to have much more control of where the light goes, and giving you more room to grow corals.
The Radion XR30 will have a solid spread around 30" x 24". This would work well int he center of the tank for coral growth and cheaper LED's on the sides to keep the light spread even. Ideally around 2-3 units would work well depending on the spread of the light. If you are looking for high light throughout the tank 3 spread even will provide this, With 2 you can grow most corals with proper placement. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
If you have any other questions, just let us know.
The cord from the ballast to the Radion is 10 feet. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
I have included a short video we have made on this topic! Overall the Pro is designed for deeper tanks (24"+) they will feature additional 2 deep blue LEDs as well as new yellow LEDs for better PAR at the deeper levels. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The Radion will have a spread of 24" x 30" and one fixture could work great for coverage. Alternatively if more spread is needed two of the XR15's would be a great fit with 24" x24" coverage on each of them.
3 of the fixtures would be ideal spread over a 72" tank. You can get by with 2 to start however for even lighting across the tank we recommend 3. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Unfortunately we cannot give a direct answer for the amps of the Radion, The variability of the light causes the amount to fluctuate. For a better result it may be worth contacting Ecotech directly. I have included their contact information below!
EcoTech Marine – 610-954-8480 firstname.lastname@example.com
The XR30 has a 30" x 24" foot print at 30" deep. Overall you can start with 2 radions over the tank for good penetration. They typically will be mounted around 6" above the water line. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The xr30 has a spread around 30 x 24 and would be a little limited. Ideally 2 xr15's will have a better spread! Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

Not very well made, terrible customer service. Poor value for $$$ By Joe on 9/13/2016Joe wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI had one of these for a year, they looked great while running. The button controls were awkward so I programmed it using the software and never touched them again. The light stopped working after one year. Sent it back in, as it is clearly not supposed to stop working that soon. Customer support sent a replacement immediately and charged $600 to my credit card immediately. They stated that there was water damage to the unit, from touching the buttons with a wet finger. I have only used the buttons twice (with dry hands because this thing cost $$) because they were so awful to use, and the unit has been suspended 18" over the aquarium the entire time I have owned it. Apparently they are not made to be used near water. Also when I did not want the replacement unit they charged me $600 for, I returned it and asked for them to send my original unit back. The have not yet refunded me for the returned unit, and my original fixture was returned to me completely disassembled (literally loose circuit boards in a box). To add insult to injury there are not even enough screws to put it back together. (missing 8) I was appalled with their customer service.
Growth within a week By bfrnech on 5/31/2016bfrnech would recommend this product to a friendA few other reviewers have clearly pointed out the high cost of this device. They're correct it's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, my corals love these lights. Where previously I saw some growth over the course of a month I now see the same level of growth within a week. IT's getting kind of ridiculous and I'm having to frag stuff out just to make space.
If you're going to do this, purchase a reeflink. Being able to use ecosmart live and control the radions and vortechs from my phone has been great. Especially entertaining to guests and I don't have to worry about plugging or unplugging items or messing with a timer. Additionally, if I want to see it during off hours I can easily turn it back on and play with the color spectrum. Loved these so much that I bought more for my next tank upgrade :)
Perfect for the deep pocket By Alex on 5/5/2016Alex would recommend this product to a friendSo lets be honest, you are not buying this because it has special LEDs or other ground breaking IP. I know that was not the reason for me. You can easily build a replicable system (in terms of LED choice and dimmable) for about $400 said and done with fans, hanging kit, etc and still have controller support.
So with a hanging kit and this light you are looking at $800, double the cost of a DIY or alternate solution with the same exact LEDs, or more.
I was extremely skeptical on buying until I got to see one in person. A store owner let me run demo on a string of 6 XR30W Pros he had from his tablet. Sold. The software is why you buy this light. The customization of your scheduling, color control, odds and ends just blew me away. Apex integration, which I plan on doing in the future, and the ability to sync or differentiate all the lights in your system put the big picture in place for me. If you have no interest in configuring your tank(s) schedule down to the K and light intensity by the minute, then this light is probably not for you. The small extras like "storm mode" and "cloud cover" add a unique touch to the environment.
My plan is to buy 9 more of these lights; I currently have one. Ecotech gets 3 stars from me because no matter how many lights you buy, nobody is allowed to sell/market these lights for less than what you see on BRS. This is the only company I've ever bought from (Ecotech I mean) that will not discount you even 1% on such a large sum of money ($8,000 in my case) for lighting (even commercial companies who I buy 10's of thousands of dollars from will budge). So, the economy of scale is not there and anyone running larger systems or multiple smaller systems are at a disadvantage with this light, in which case I would say go Halide or T5, which in all likeliness is what I will end up doing.
Ecotech knows they have priority in the LED market and they are making use of that.
All in all, great looking product, great function, great support, but total scrooges.
NICE LIGHT AND FEATURES BUT PROGRAMMING CAN BE A PROBLEM By DavidC on 4/28/2016DavidC would recommend this product to a friendBought this light to replace my previous LED lighting system, when I made a modest change from a 30 gallon to a 38 gallon reef. Unfortunately the new tank has a brace in the middle and I had to use the tank mount for the Radion a bit off center. I purchased the wide angle lens to get better coverage on the one side that wasn't receiving enough light.
The main problem was programming my Radion with the Ecosmart Live. Fortunately the people at Ecotech's customer support helped out.
It's been two weeks with the new lights. So far, I can tell you that my SPS corals which are midway to higher look no better than they did with my previous lighting. However, the zoanthids, scolymias and acans that I have on the sand bed look better than ever, and growing, as well, particularly the Scoly's.
I am still in the acclimation process. I started out at 20% intensity and am currently at 35%. I'll probably go a bit higher, but don't want to push it.
Maybe I can ask the people at my LFS if I can rent or borrow a PAR meter which would make it easier to fine tune the lighting.
Stunning By Matt on 3/18/2016Matt would recommend this product to a friendOutstanding. Put 2 of these over my 110 tall and my tank and they look amazing. Price is steep but I'm quite happy with the purchase.
Pricey, but awesome By jsbull on 1/2/2016jsbull would recommend this product to a friendThese do everything you want them to and even have a bunch of showy functions. I don't plan to use clouds or lightning storms in my house, but hey, it's part of the cool factor to say you do.
At first, I couldn't believe the price of these lights, but I bit the bullet and got them. I'm really glad I did. My Apex controls them wonderfully and before I had it, I used the EcoSmart Manager. Both work really well and do everything you want them to.
If you can handle the price tag, you can't go wrong.
Nice lights but my corals suffered By EddieKMD on 11/27/2015EddieKMD wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe lights intergrate well with Apex Neptune controller so I did not have to purchase the ReefLink. I noticed that my corals were dying or at a standstill. I didn't have PAR meter so I didn't know how strong I should run these. I ran at 20-40% but corals were still dying. I ended switching to T5s. Corals are very happy now. They did more growth in a month then they did in 2 years!
Ecotech XR30 By TJ on 9/7/2015TJ would recommend this product to a friendThese lights are WOW! I had cheaper LEDs, and they did fine with my SPS. But these XR30s are incredible with all the features. The color they produce is amazing! I keep the red/green channel very low, 10% max at peak lighting over my 180 reef. The only downside is the price, but if you can bite the bullet you will not be disappointed. I would definitely get the reeflink also.
WOW By Aaron on 8/24/2015Aaron would recommend this product to a friendThis light is more then what I expected!. I ordered two of these to hang over my reef and I can't believe the dramatic impact they have. I'm having a difficult time connecting them to my apex but the echosmart live software is fantastic so I may not have too. There is plenty of light, so much so that I'm only running mine at 15%. I'll be purchasing a PAR meter soon so that I can dial in my setup to optimum levels. Don't hesitate if you're on the fence with these.

Writings in General Linguistics by Ferdinand de Saussure
Book DescriptionFerdinand de Saussure's Cours de linguistique generale was posthumously composed by his students from the notes they had made at his lectures. The book became one of the most influential works of the twentieth century, giving direction to modern linguistics and inspiration to literary and cultural theory. Before he died Saussure told friends he was writing up the lectures himself but no evidence of this was found. Eighty years later in 1996 a manuscript in Saussure's hand was discovered in the orangerie of his family house in Geneva. This proved to be the missing original of the great work. It is published now in English for the first time in an edition edited by Simon Bouquet and Rudolf Engler, and translated and introduced by Carol Sanders and Matthew Pires, all leading Saussure scholars. The book includes an earlier discovered manuscript on the philosophy of language, Saussure's own notes for lectures, and a comprehensive bibliography of major work on Saussure from 1970 to 2004. It is remarkable that for eighty years the understanding of Saussure's thought has depended on an incomplete and non-definitive text, the sometimes aphoristic formulations of which gave rise to many creative interpretations and arguments for and against Saussure. Did he, or did he not, see language as a-social and a-historical? Did he, or did he not, rule out the study of speech within linguistics? Was he a reductionist? These disputes and many others can now be resolved on basis of the work now published. This reveals new depth and subtetly in Saussure's thoughts on the nature and complex workings of language, particularly his famous binary oppositions between form and meaning, the sign and what is signified, and language (langue) and its performance (parole).

One word: voyeurism.
One word: voyeurism.
I'm human. Humans are instinctively impatient.
It's very hard for us to perform a certain action today, so that we'll get a reward tomorrow, or next week, or even worst, in 30 days. It's equally as hard to refrain from action today to avoid a certain consequence. That's why we get AIDS and unwanted babies.
You'll find this is more consistent with children. As we grow up, we tame it. We replace this instinct with a learned behavior. That doesn't mean it's any less painful. That's why we can work for 30 days for a pay check. Yet some of us have a hard time taming this instinct.
The point is this: with this 30-day challenge, you'll most likely not see results from the first day. Nor from the first week. But stick with it. Near the end of the challenge, you'll experience the difference.
The benefits are incremental and with a very short fuse. Each day is a step forward. Miss a day and you'll either stop the challenge or take 3 steps back. Pass the 30-day mark and you'll get rid of the fuse.
Yesterday marked my first day of delayed gratification.

We all know all these obvious lessons. Why don't we all abide my them? Why does it take years until some become part of our system? I've come to realize that they're a huge difference between two edges. The first edge is knowing and accepting these obvious lessons. Having these obvious lessons as part of our belief system is the second edge.
We all know about Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, and so on. But one or none of these religious figures is part of our belief system. We will not act according to the teachings of any one of these religious figures, until one of them becomes part of our belief system. And I'm not advocating adopting one religion. I'm only using religion because it's an example we can all identify with. I at the moment, adopt none.
That's the challenge. Adopting obvious lessons as part of our belief system doesn't happen on a rational level. It takes a strong emotional experience. A huge failure perhaps. Or a loved one turning their back on us. Or a life changing lost opportunity. Or someone close truly appeals to our emotions. The problem is obvious, those of us who have experienced these obvious lessons on an emotional level, go on to share them on a rational level. It never works this way.
Belief systems or world views are always amended on an emotional level. That's why you won't really learn obvious lessons until you've done the mistake yourself.

A while back I see 2 people fighting over a small kind of leafy vegetable. The old man selling these, has a van full of them. The buyer is fighting over the price of this one vegetable.
I watch them fight for at least 5 minutes before I get bored and move on. For the seller the value of this small vegetable seems to be huge to him, although the price is negligible. No matter how much effort this man does, he'll end up with the petty money this one vegetable is sold for.
This is the size of the seller's dreams. That's the reason he'll stay small and poor. He was literarly pulling the leafy vegetable out of the buyer's hands because they were not agreeing on the price. The worst part?
The seller's young son was next to him watching and learning. He's learning from his father how to have small dreams. And how to fight over petty money.
Children watch adults and imitate them. Do you have children or younger siblings. If not now, you will some day. You have more effect on their future than you ever thought possible. You have more effect on the size of their dreams than you ever though possible. Behave accordingly.

Aluminium Alloy From Scrap And Virgin Metal - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities
|Aluminium, the second most plentiful metallic element on earth, became an economic competitor in engineering applications as recently as the end of the 19th century. The growing popularity of this metal has been attributed to its outstanding physical and chemical properties, viz. lightness, and high strength of its alloys, high electric and thermal conductivity, good workability and the most important of all –its resistance to corrosion. The first commercial applications of aluminium were novelty items such as mirror frames, house numbers, and serving trays. Aluminium has a wide range of applications, from aircraft building to packaging, a major consumer being the electrical industry. The two sectors, electricity and transportation, account for more than half of the total off take. The key consumer industries in India are power, transportation, consumer durables, packaging and construction. Of this, power is the biggest consumer (about 44% of total) followed by infrastructure (17%) and transportation (about 10% to 12%). Demand for aluminium is estimated to grow at 4 to 6% per annum. The demand for the metal is expected to pick up as the scenario improves for user industries like power, infrastructure and transportation, which are all on the move. In the domestic market, the demand of aluminium is expected to touch 1.5 mn ton by 2015-16. Few Major Players are as under:- Aravali Infrapower Ltd. Associated Aluminium Inds. Pvt. Ltd.

Michael: This is my empire. I've inherited it! I went to the Creative wing of the IWT Headquarters before the show started. And rummaging through the rubish, there. I found traces of a crazy cat women. I found traces of a Dominoe addict. I found traces of a black guy. I found traces of an oily guy who loves vitamins and roids. And I found A LOT of whiskey. Well for the first time since 2013. The trash has been dumped. I've dumped the trash that cluttered my new building. Michael: I pride myself on wearing the same shirt, I've been sweating and crying in for the better part of a month putting together a show, for all of you...but of course it had set backs.

trail running
Santa Teresa County Park is located in the Santa Teresa Hills ten miles south of downtown San Jose. This diverse 1,627 acre park, rich in history, offers spectacular views from its trails above the Almaden and Santa Clara Valleys. The secluded upland valleys of the park provide a quiet interlude for exploring the natural environment minutes away from the surrounding developed areas. Santa Teresa County Park is located at the southern end of the Santa Teresa Hills. The park may be accessed from either Almaden Valley or Santa Clara Valley. From Santa Clara Valley, take US 101 or Highway 85 to the Bernal Road exit. Proceed west 1.3 miles on Bernal Road and cross Santa Teresa Boulevard toward the Santa Teresa Hills. Bernal Road continues past the park's Santa Teresa Golf Club, winding up into the hills. The Pueblo Day Use Area is located off Bernal Road in a small open valley in the hills. Limited parking and trailhead access are available from Almaden Valley. From San Jose, follow Almaden Expressway until it ends. Turn right onto Harry Road, then turn left onto McKean Road. Travel approximately 1.3 miles to Fortini Road. Turn left onto Fortini Road toward the Santa Teresa Hills. At the end of Fortini Road, turn left onto San Vicente Avenue. A ten car parking area is located on the right about 500 feet from Fortini Road. Public transit is available to Santa Teresa County Park.
This is a great loop trail that goes from the Pueblo Group Area, to Coyote Peak, and back down the Rocky Ridge Trail. There are great views of both the Diablo and Santa Cruz Mtns, and of Silicon Valley, especially from the peak. The Rocky Ridge section of this loop is exposed to the sun, but luckily the day of our hike it was quite windy. A coyote was seen trotting along the trail ahead of us.
Perfect 3-hour walking trail.
Not much coverage or greenery this time of year, but parts of this trail is stunning!
The trail was very warm, little shade. It is not an easy hike, but it is enjoyable. I saw quite a few deer and a bob cat on the trail today.
The Rocky Ridge Trail lived up to its name.
8.3 miles here is not easy. it took me 2 hrs 25 minutes. a very good challenging hike. next time I will add the Stiles trail.
Took this trail by accident. Interesting to see a different side of San Jose. However, a portion of the trail has sliding rocks so be careful where step. It's quite narrow and hard to find shade for a break. Great for solo hiking and bike ride. The incline and sun is enough to question exercising ever again. Towards the end of the trail there's a nice grassy area to chill. Not a trail I would repeat.
A nice hike with a few spots that were picture worthy, but overall, nothing that really made me or my kids stop to enjoy the view.
Easy hike (especially if you're just starting out)with multiple options. Some trails (like mine trail) ok for stroller.
Troy S. on Coyote Peak and Ridge Trail Loop
Beautiful views from the top of coyote peak, definitely worth checking out.
Green grass, wild flowers, views and great for the dog. Part of trail is heavy single track for bikes but zero issues. Some mud, but great to hear water in the creeks. Great time of year for this hike.
Best to hike in the early morning. I saw deers, turnkey, and coyote there. Awesome view.
Great hike!
Beautiful views of the San Jose area.

Can't allow these ethically corrupt people back into 'people's house'
To The Daily Sun,
Bill Cosby is accused of sexual improprieties by multiple women, vilified by the media and entertainment industry and dragged into court on sex assault charges and possible jail time.
Bill Clinton is accused of sexual improprieties by Juanita Broaddick, Kathleen Willey, Gennifer Flowers, Connie Hamzy, Elieen Wellstone, Sandra Allen James, Christy Zercher, Regina Hopper, Robyn Dickey, Carolyn Moffett, Dolly Kyle Browning, Elizabeth Ward, Sally Perdue, Elizabeth Gracen, Bobbie Ann Willam and Paula Corbin.
He's dragged into court on sex assault charges by Paula Jones. He pays her $850,000 to avoid having to air his dirty laundry at a trial. He later lies under oath about a sexual encounter with Monica Lewinsky while president. That admission triggers impeachment proceedings.
He emerges from all of this unscathed and is now in campaign mode for a wife who enabled his perversions and wages her own lifelong war on the truth.
How anyone with a shred of decency would allow these two ethically and morally corrupt people back into the "people's house" is beyond me.

Analysis: Investors reap rewards as buyout firms begin to lose their grasp on power
When asked which European investors in private equity funds he thought were most influential, a global placement agent head said: "I rate any limited partners with money in their pocket at the moment."
His comment summed up the confusion about the future of the industry and lack of money feeding into it. The second Financial News ranking of the most influential European investors reflects the upheaval in the asset class over the past year.
It also reflects the shift in power that has occurred since the period before the credit bubble, when private equity firms were oversubscribed for funds and could effectively choose their investors based on how supine they were.
Nevertheless, the long-term appetite for an industry able to deliver above-average returns has meant some investors have boosted their presence in it while others have entered it. Some things remain the same: Dutch manager AlpInvest Partners has stayed top.
The credit crunch and fall in asset values across most investment classes have meant the rate at which private equity firms have been selling their portfolio companies (or buying new ones) has slumped from the peak in 2006 and 2007.
Meanwhile, several investors that had committed to new funds at the top of the market, especially those that used debt to boost their allocations, are struggling to meet their promises or to find the confidence to continue committing to new funds.
The issue has particularly affected large investors such as endowments or foundations, including Yale and Harvard, previously regarded as some of the most sophisticated and long-term investors, as well as a number of funds of funds, including SVG Capital.
Bank and insurance operations that invest in third-party funds, such as HBOS, which has now merged with Lloyds TSB, have also been affected. However, not all investors have been as adversely affected.
Vincent Gombault, managing director of fund of funds at Axa Private Equity, said: "Investors still have faith in private equity, despite the challenges in the market. The losses experienced in the industry have not been as extreme as those suffered in other asset classes.
"In fact, the long-term relevance of private equity remains strong. Of course, given the conditions in the market, many private equity companies are waiting for the right time to put their money to work. While some investors are impatient, many understand and support the need to wait for the most apposite time to invest."
One adviser to large investors said: "For most of our clients, it's more or less business as usual, particularly at the large pension end.
"They were more cautious, took their time, didn't overcommit [during the bubble period]. Plus, they have less risky overall portfolios than might be found in a US endowment, say. So they're not being punished by the 'denominator effect' to the same extent as others.
"They are taking the opportunity to position themselves as a safe, long-term source of capital where others are running for the hills, so there may be a shift in the balance of power among LPs with endowments/foundations losing some pull."
Pension schemes such as the UK's Universities Superannuation Scheme have a highly regarded private equity team and the ability to write large cheques to strong managers, while Hermes Private Equity has hired more staff and continued to invest.
Susan Flynn, head of funds at Hermes Private Equity, said: "Hermes is, and has been, a constant and significant investor in the asset class. We have seen some other high-profile investors fall by the wayside this year as they have run out of cash or have been using leveraged structures. We remain as an investor."
The investors with the top-quartile fund managers in their portfolio will be relatively sheltered and, consequently, able to continue investing. Dutch manager AlpInvest Partners, which tops this year's list, has more than one-third of its portfolio in top-quartile funds, according to data provider Preqin.
Although this was less as a percentage than some other European investors, such as Länsförsäkringar, AlpInvest outscored others in the ranking by dint of its size and strategic thinking. As one peer said, AlpInvest "gets involved with private equity firms with good advice and is so respected it makes other investors want to sign up" and commit to a new fund when they do so.
The head of investor relations at one leading private equity firm said the question of influence boiled down to seeing who were the investors they would follow into a fund (and, therefore, the ones the managers were most keen to sign for a first close) as well as the ones asking the tough questions and doing due diligence on the reasons behind their past performance and with a stable team of top-quality professional investors.
Another investor relations head said on this basis he regarded Skandia's team as the most impressive. Fund of funds operations are able to resource the team adequately – with Pantheon understood to sit on the advisory boards of more than 1,000 funds and a relatively tough style of questioning managers.
Those with less than €40bn ($55bn) to invest in private equity have been influential in targeting a few firms with which to work closely or carry out due diligence. This was particularly the case with investors backed by family money, such as Bregal Investments, which is backed by the Dutch Brenninkmeijer family; or Luxembourg-based Reinet Investments, run by South African businessman Johann Rupert.
Reinet leapt into the top 25 thanks to some clever co-investments and its backing of Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking, the mid-market buyout arm of the former US investment bank, while Bregal has become an experienced co-investor and cornerstone investor, such as in buyout manager Englefield.
Yet few investors are committing to new funds, despite historical data showing this year likely to be among the best vintages in which to start investing – a shortlist including Switzerland's Luserve.
However, an adviser warned the table could change substantially again next year. He said: "It will be a better question asked in 12 months' time, since I think the next 12 to 18 months will separate the men from the boys on the GP side – which will have knock-on effects with the LPs, obviously."
• Methodology of ranking
A survey and calls to investors (known as limited partners), gatekeepers, placement agents and private equity firms (known as general partners) this month showed a number of LPs regarded as influential by the amount of money they commit, strategic vision and ability to access the best general partnerships.
The table reflects the diversity of approach the LPs bring to investing in the asset class but is subjective as a number of close peers just missed out on the final cut.
The ranking also mixes funds of funds with discretionary investors and those also managing third-party money, but the top managers in all of these areas are included and proportionally rise or fall in the table depending on their influence or weight in the community.
The ranking also only looks at LPs originally formed in Europe, so long-term heavyweight investors, such as fund of funds managers HarbourVest and Adams Street, family office Auda, Singapore's state-backed GIC and Canadian pension funds Ontario Teachers and Canada Pension Plan missed out.

decided: March 29, 1976.
JURICH, APPELLANT,v.UNITED PARCEL SERVICE OF NEW YORK, INC.
Appeal from judgment of Court of Common Pleas, Civil Division, of Allegheny County, Oct. T., 1972, No. 1277, in case of Robert Jurich v. United Parcel Service of New York, Inc., a corporation.
John E. Evans, Jr., with him Evans, Ivory & Evans, for appellant.
Frederick N. Egler, with him Paul R. Marks, and Egler & Reinstadtler, for appellee.
Watkins, P. J., Hoffman, Cercone, Price, Van der Voort, and Spaeth, JJ. (Jacobs, J., absent). Opinion by Van der Voort, J. Price, J., dissents.
[ 239 Pa. Super. Page 307]
Appeal is taken from judgment entered for appellee
[ 239 Pa. Super. Page 308]
following the lower court en banc's denial of appellant's motion to remove a compulsory non-suit granted for appellee on October 15, 1974, by Judge SILVESTRI, sitting with a jury. Appellant was non-suited immediately following presentation of his case, a suit in trespass seeking damages for personal injury and property damage arising out of a collision between the parties' vehicles.
Our deliberations and consideration of the facts of this case will be governed by our recent statement in Paul v. Hess Brothers, Inc., 226 Pa. Superior Ct. 92, 94-95, 312 A.2d 65, 66 (1973):
"On appeal from a compulsory non-suit the plaintiff must be given the benefit of every fact and every reasonable inference of fact arising from the evidence, whether direct or circumstantial, and all conflicts must be resolved in the plaintiff's favor. McDonald v. Ferrebee, 366 Pa. 543, 79 A.2d 232 (1951). A compulsory non-suit may be entered only in a clear case where the facts and circumstances lead unerringly to but one conclusion. McNett v. Briggs, 217 Pa. Superior Ct. 322, 272 A.2d 202 (1970)."
To justify the granting of a non-suit, it must appear from plaintiff's statement of his case that there is no evidence legally sufficient to maintain the action and to warrant the case going to the jury for fact-finding. Mazur v. Kann, 343 Pa. 376, 22 A.2d 707 (1941). Thus the case must go to the jury if there are presented sufficient facts which preponderate in favor of the plaintiff's statement of the case and in favor of liability of the defendant, which liability will be determined by the jury. Smith v. Bell Telephone Co., 397 Pa. 134, 153 A.2d 477 (1959). If plaintiff does present such a prima facie case, it is the function of the jury to pass upon his credibility and persuasiveness. Fady v. Danielson Construction Co., 224 Pa. Superior Ct. 33, 302 A.2d 405 (1973).
Appellant testified that on April 6, 1972, between 10:00 and 10:30 A.M., good weather prevailing, he was
[ 239 Pa. Super. Page 309]
traveling a down-grade on the two-lane Whitaker Street approaching its intersection with Mifflin Street. The location is in Whitaker Borough, near Pittsburgh. The intersection is controlled by a "stop" sign for traffic traveling along Mifflin Street. Appellant stated that he saw appellee's van-type truck approaching from his left down Mifflin Street, also a slight down-grade. As appellant entered and proceeded approximately ten feet into the intersection, his eyes were directed straight ahead. Appellee's vehicle struck appellant's car at the latter's left rear side. Appellant could not testify as to whether appellee had stopped at the "stop" sign on Mifflin Street. Further, appellant testified that appellee stated to the investigating police officer, "'I'm going to lie myself out of this one'". On cross-examination, appellant reiterated that he was looking straight ahead when entering the intersection.
Two witnesses - ladies standing on the corner waiting for a bus - were called by both parties. One witness stated that she did not see this accident happen because she was standing and talking with the other witness. She of course heard the crash and then directed her attention to the collision. The second witness testified that she saw appellee's truck stopped and appellant's car bearing down upon her, whereupon she jumped into near-by hedges.
The grant by the lower court of compulsory non-suit was based upon its conclusion that appellant had not made out a prima facie case of appellee's negligence, and that appellant was contributorily negligent as a matter of law. We disagree.
It is clear that appellee's negligence may be inferred from appellant's having seen him approach the intersection notwithstanding other witness' testimony that appellee had stopped at the sign. The negligence which may be inferred is that appellee proceeded into the intersection when another entering the same intersection had the right-of-way. See Kline v. Kachmar, 360 Pa. 396,
[ 239 Pa. Super. Page 31061]
A.2d 825 (1948) and a legion of other cases which have found negligence on the part of one who proceeds into an intersection without thorough examination of the cross-approaches, even after his observance of the traffic controls applicable to his lane of traffic. Accepting appellant's statements of fact, as we must, we readily see that his testimony creates an inference of negligence in appellee, which question, without more, is one of fact for the jury.
The trial judge found contributory negligence as a matter of law because of appellant's apparent failure to continue to make sure that the intersection was clear before proceeding through it. Even though the judge found no prima facie case, he also found that this contributory negligence as a matter of law would defeat any finding of a prima facie case of appellee's negligence. While we agree with the lower court's statement that all drivers must approach an intersection with care, relying upon Goldenberg v. Philadelphia Rural Transit Co., 112 Pa. Superior Ct. 163, 170 A. 360 (1934), we believe that a motorist approaching an intersection uncontrolled for him is not under the stricter duty of care as one who approaches a controlled intersection. See Reiter v. Andrews, 155 Pa. Superior Ct. 449, 38 A.2d 508 (1944). Whether appellant in the instant case was negligent contributorily is a matter of fact. "The assumption that another driver will obey the traffic rules cannot be adjudged negligent unless the person making the assumption has timely warning that his confidence in the other's lawabidingness is misplaced." Jones v. Williams, 358 Pa. 559, 564, 58 A.2d 57, 60 (1948). We cannot find, based on appellant's testimony that he did see the approaching truck on a "stop" street, and from witness' testimony that appellee had in fact stopped, that appellant so failed to exercise necessary caution as to be guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law. See Musi v. Sarro, 370 F.2d 113 (3d Cir. 1966) and Andrews v. Long, 425 Pa. 152, 228 A.2d 760 (1967). Contributory

July 8, 2012 | Elites say that we need inequality to encourage the rich to invest and the creative to invent. That's working out well — for 1% pooches.
Summer, 2009. Unemployment is soaring. Across America, millions of terrified people are facing foreclosure and getting kicked to the curb. Meanwhile in sunny California, the hotel-heiress Paris Hilton is investing $350,000 of her $100 million fortune in a two-story house for her dogs. A Pepto Bismol-colored replica of Paris' own Beverly Hills home, the backyard doghouse provides her precious pooches with two floors of luxury living, complete with abundant closet space and central air.
By the standards of America's rich these days, Paris' dogs are roughing it. In a 2006 article, Vanity Fair's Nina Munk described the luxe residences of America's new financial elite. Compared with the 2,405 square feet of the average new American home, the abodes of Greenwich Connecticut hedge-fund managers clock in at 15,000 square feet, about the size of a typical industrial warehouse. Many come with pool houses of over 3,000 square feet.
Gerald Friedman teaches economics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is the author, most recently, of "Reigniting the Labor Movement" (Routledge, 2007).

Barney Frank (Credit: AP/J. Scott Applewhite)
Tuesday Mar 31, 2015 | Barney Frank has a new autobiography out. He's long been one of the nation's most quotable politicians. And Washington lives in perpetual longing for intra-party conflict.
So why has a critical revelation from Frank's book, one that implicates the most powerful Democrat in the nation, been entirely expunged from the record? The media has thus far focused on Frank's wrestling with being a closeted gay congressman, or his comment that Joe Biden "can't keep his mouth shut or his hands to himself." But nobody has focused on Frank's allegation that Barack Obama refused to extract foreclosure relief from the nation's largest banks, as a condition for their receipt of hundreds of billions of dollars in bailout money.

Richer and Poorer: How much inequality can a democracy stand? Jill LePore, New Yorker
It has been proven that the only thing that "inspires" bosses to treat workers adequately is organized fightback by workers. It has also been proven that the only path to a real system that guarantees employment, education, health care and basic resources for all is by overthrowing capitalism.

Feb 19, 2015 | It is almost common sense that loss of a job or prolonged unemployment has a negative affect on mental health, leading in some cased to suicide. But how many deaths by suicide are actually caused by unemployment? According to a new study published in Lancet Psychiatry, unemployment caused approximately 45,000 suicides each year between 2000 and 2011. Through a longitudinal assessment of the World Health Organization's mortality database and the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook database, it was discovered that these rates remained consistent regardless of economic stability.
The study was conducted in 63 countries in four world regions. One of the goals of the study was to see if there was a difference in the impact of unemployment on suicide rates before and after a recession. Using statistical analysis, the researchers deduced that unemployment was the cause of 41,148 suicides in 2007 and 46,131 in 2009. Therefore, they reasoned that the recession in 2008 caused 4,983 additional suicides.

March 20, 2015 | It can be tough, Paul Krugman allows in Friday's column, to keep up the level of outrage at Republican lawmakers who do not seem to be in any way bound to the rules of honor or honesty in their budget proposal. Like, not at all.
"Every year the party produces a budget that allegedly slashes deficits," Krugman opens, "but which turns out to contain a trillion-dollar 'magic asterisk' — a line that promises huge spending cuts and/or revenue increases, but without explaining where the money is supposed to come from.

March 16, 2015 | For about a century, economic inequality has been measured on a scale, from zero to one, known as the Gini index and named after an Italian statistician, Corrado Gini, who devised it in 1912, when he was twenty-eight and the chair of statistics at the University of Cagliari. If all the income in the world were earned by one person and everyone else earned nothing, the world would have a Gini index of one. If everyone in the world earned exactly the same income, the world would have a Gini index of zero. The United States Census Bureau has been using Gini's measurement to calculate income inequality in America since 1947. Between 1947 and 1968, the U.S. Gini index dropped to .386, the lowest ever recorded. Then it began to climb.
Income inequality is greater in the United States than in any other democracy in the developed world. Between 1975 and 1985, when the Gini index for U.S. households rose from .397 to .419, as calculated by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Gini indices of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Sweden, and Finland ranged roughly between .200 and .300, according to national data analyzed by Andrea Brandolini and Timothy Smeeding. But historical cross-country comparisons are difficult to make; the data are patchy, and different countries measure differently. The Luxembourg Income Study, begun in 1983, harmonizes data collected from more than forty countries on six continents. According to the L.I.S.'s adjusted data, the United States has regularly had the highest Gini index of any affluent democracy. In 2013, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a Gini index of .476.

July 9, 2012 | The long-running General Electric slogan sums up what capitalist cheerleaders love to say about markets: "We bring good things to life."
But is it really true? In reality, some capitalists have figured out how to profit by actually bringing bad things to life.
Today, market forces organize, select and direct the production of goods and services in ways that would amaze and startle our ancestors. Consider the automobile: designed, engineered, provisioned, manufactured, marketed, sold and serviced by webs of hundreds of different organizations across the planet. Amazing. And a tribute to what's possible through market successes.

July 6, 2012 | The awful experience of the Great Depression made clear to many economists and laymen alike that credit is at the heart of a functioning capitalist system. Without access to credit, many businesses die and many individuals and households run out of money and go bankrupt.
Yet in popular media accounts from the Great Depression, the focus is almost always on the stock market and the Great Crash of 1929. You hardly ever hear that it was the contraction of credit and the seizing up of credit markets that made the Great Depression so traumatic.

Thanks to Olivia Gianelli
Gothiness: 8 Sweatiness: 8
I'm indebted to the young Olivia, who writes; "Just thought you might like a photo of me in my wedding dress braving the nasty burny thing in the sky. We chose to get married on the 21st March, it being the first day of spring we thought it was guaranteed to be either dull or raining (quite possibly both!) as we live in the north of England. However the traitorous weather left us hot sweaty and exhausted, although our guests seemed to enjoy the spectacle, non-goth softies the lot of them!" I feel your pain, Olivia - I and Mrs GIHW got married in Teesdale - a place guaranteed to give you murky overcast summers - in 42 degree heat. We then took our honeymoon in Paris, where 3000 people died of heatstroke in a week.
Goths, I love 'em! I even used to be one for a bit (well, I was a Didi-Goth for at least 6 months). But there's one thing that troubles me about our cheery friends: what to do they do in summer? All that makeup, long black leather and rubber must get very sticky. I think we should show our respect for these poor unfortunates, struggling to stand out from the vanilla crowd despite blazing temperatures and sunshine that puts the rest of us in shorts and vest tops. Join me in celebrating the majesty of the Goth, who, eschewing any practicality whatever, still has the commitment to don a full length leather trenchcoat, stupid New Rock boots, and half a Superdrug counter of makeup. All hail the Hot Goth!

That's pretty = )
My wedding dress was made of white, thin silk, but do to the sheer bulk of the thing (it LOOKED breezy and simple- but looks are decieving) sweat was dripping off me through out both fittings AND during the ceremony- I must say this lass did it better than me- and with goth flair! Well done!
