text: Hey its Gojohnnyboi, I'm coming to you with my latest repository update. I have created(and am currently working on) an installer repository that hosts skins for Touchmods' SIP-VoIP v1.1 application! I have only made 1 skin so far but will be making many a day. To download these skins do the following: 1. Go into your installer application on your iPod Touch/iPhone 2. Touch the sources tab at the bottom. 3. Tap edit(top right) and then add(top left) on the screen. 4. Type in this source(my skin repository): http://touchmodz.googlepages.com/sip.xml 5. Head down to the SIP-Skin category in installer and try out my first skin!(purple/green) ~Note~ These skins ARE PERMANENT. You must have one installed at all times or your appliation will not work correctly. So, for instance, you install my first skin and don't like it you cannot uninstall it but to replace it you would have to install a different skin. I will soon be placing the plain old boring default skin back onto my category so that you can go back to having the default skin. Hope everyone enjoys! Thanks, Gojohnnyboi

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. HARRY
G. HERSHENSON, Judge, presiding.
Rehearing denied November 28, 1972.
Plaintiff sued to recover for personal injuries sustained when he fell on a defective City sidewalk. He was hospitalized and, being eligible for public aid, his medical bills were paid by the State Department of Public Aid (hereafter referred to as the Department). At the appropriate time the Department submitted its lien for expenditures made in behalf of the plaintiff. The personal injury case was settled and at that time plaintiff petitioned the court to reduce the Department's lien on the ground that the medical services rendered did not warrant the amount sought. The court granted plaintiff's petition and the Department now appeals, contending:
(1) The State Department of Aid, a branch of the State of Illinois, has no power under the Illinois Constitution to compromise a claim;
(2) The trial court's actions in this case were arbitrary and did not constitute an adjudication of its lien.
The facts follow.
Dennis Bender, a minor, was injured on August 7, 1965, when he fell while walking on a defective City sidewalk at 203 West Hill Street, in Chicago. At Cook County Hospital he underwent surgery to correct the injury and during the operation the blood supply to his right leg was damaged. This so aggravated the existing injury that he lost a substantial use of the leg, despite three subsequent corrective operations.
The Department filed a lien for 3,153.78, the total amount paid on behalf of the plaintiff. Before the case came to trial the parties, with the aid of the court, negotiated a settlement, at which time plaintiff presented a petition to the court requesting a reduction of the Department's lien because the services received had not been performed in a workmanlike manner. The court held a hearing on this issue and reduced the lien to $1,576.89, whereupon the Department appealed.
• 1, 2 The Department contends that it is an agency of the State and therefore, under Article IV, par. 23 of the 1870 Illinois constitution, powerless to compromise or settle a claim. A compromise connotes an agreement between adverse parties with each party making concessions. Here the Department made no concessions. Indeed, the record indicates that the State was represented at the hearing by three attorneys who were not only opposed to any settlement of the Department's lien, but strenuously objected to its reduction. We find no merit in this contention.
The Department next contends that the court's actions in the instant case did not constitute an adjudication in accordance with Ill. Rev. Stat. 1969, ch. 23, par. 11-22, which provides in pertinent part:
"On petition filed by the Illinois Department, * * * or by the recipient, * * * the court, on written notice to all interested parties, may adjudicate the rights of the parties and enforce the charge."
The trial court spent three days working out a settlement in this case. During that time plaintiff presented a petition to the court asking a reduction of the Department's lien. After the settlement figure was determined the court took evidence, without any objection from the State, regarding the cause, extent and permanency of plaintiff's injuries. At that hearing the Department was represented by counsel. Medical reports were admitted which showed that plaintiff's condition was due largely to the medical care he received. The court heard oral argument presented by counsel for plaintiff regarding reduction of the lien, but was advised by the attorney for the Department that it had no evidence as to the quality of the medical services rendered. The court stated that its decision to reduce the Department's lien took into account plaintiff's petition and the medical reports received at the earlier hearing.
• 3, 4 The purpose of the statute involved is to promote the settlement of cases in the proper instance, even in the case of a State-held lien, by allowing the court to adjudicate the lien. A new and subsequent trial on that one issue would serve no substantial interest. Here the court made its determination based on the evidence presented and allowed the parties oral argument. This was an adjudication within the meaning of the statute, and we find no merit in the Department's contention.
Judgment affirmed.

March 27, 1989
536 N.E.2d 952, 181 Ill. App. 3d 222, 129 Ill. Dec. 902 1989.IL.401
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. James W. Traina, Judge, presiding.
APPELLATE Judges:
JUSTICE BUCKLEY delivered the opinion of the court. CAMPBELL and O'CONNOR, JJ., concur.
This negligence action is before this court on Ronald Courtney's (plaintiff's) petition for leave to appeal the trial court's order granting a new trial following the judgment it entered for plaintiff from a jury's $277,000 damage award, reduced to $199,040 to correspond to the jury's 28% comparative negligence finding. Allied Filter Engineering, Inc. (defendant), pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 306(a)(2) (107 Ill. 2d R. 306(a)(2)), requests that this court reverse the trial court's order denying its motions for directed verdict and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the trial court's order granting a new trial and remand this case with directions to the trial court to reinstate the judgment in favor of plaintiff.
The record reveals that defendant, a manufacturer of diesel engine filters, has a shipping and receiving area on its premises at 811 Golf Lane in Bensenville, Illinois, for truck deliveries. This area includes two indoor truck bays, each of which is equipped with a dockplate that forms a bridge between the dock and rear of the trailer when it is placed into an up position and, when down, forms a 90-degree angle with a sharp edge. Defendant followed the standardized procedure in the industry for unloading palletized freight, namely, the company receiving the material unloads the material. Defendant had full-time employees who operated forklift trucks to unload trailers, and it forbad outside drivers from operating its equipment.
Plaintiff, a truck driver for Motor Freight Express, testified to the following. On July 23, 1981, at approximately 10:40 a.m., he arrived at defendant's shipping and receiving area to deliver palletized freight. At the direction of Jimmy Heath, defendant's supervisor in the receiving area, plaintiff pulled into the west truck bay. His trailer was positioned against the bumpers on the dock, leaving a gap of approximately five inches between the trailer's rear and the sharp, exposed edge of the lowered dockplate.
Heath then refused to unload the truck. He placed an empty skid near the edge of the dock and told plaintiff to stack the boxes on it. Heath did not raise the mechanical dockplate or make the forklift available to plaintiff. Plaintiff also did not have a "hand jack" or a "portable dockplate," which Motor Freight truck drivers carried in their trailers when they knew in advance that a customer would not unload.
Upon Heath's refusal, plaintiff telephoned Gerard Anastasia, his supervisor at Motor Freight Express, who told him to solicit defendant's employees to unload the truck or, if unsuccessful, deliver the freight in some other way. Following Heath's second refusal to unload and to raise the dockplate, plaintiff loosened the vertical and horizontal bands which stabilized the 27 cartons that stood six feet high and weighed approximately 40 pounds each.
As plaintiff carried one of the boxes toward the dock and the skid, some of the boxes fell and struck him in the mid-back. The boxes knocked him over, and his right knee landed in the space between the back of the truck and the dockplate. The front of plaintiff's knee forcefully struck the sharp edge of the dockplate, causing him immediate pain and swelling.
Dr. Robert Kaminsky, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, testified on plaintiff's behalf as his primary treating physician. Kaminsky first examined plaintiff on July 27, 1981, upon a referral from plaintiff's family physician. At that time, plaintiff related his accident at work and complained of pain in his knee. Plaintiff again complained of pain in his knee on a September 10 return visit. Unable to diagnose plaintiff's condition from these examinations, Kaminsky recommended plaintiff undergo an arthroscopic procedure. From this procedure performed on September 24, 1981, Kaminsky diagnosed plaintiff's condition as chondromalacia of the patella, a softening of the cartilage caused by a sudden increase in pressure between the back of the kneecap and the femur. The arthroscopic procedure, however, proved unsuccessful, and plaintiff's kneecap was removed on April 20, 1982.
Kaminsky testified that in his expert opinion the trauma of July 23, 1981, either caused the damage to plaintiff's knee or aggravated a preexisting condition. On cross-examination, Kaminsky admitted that it is possible that chondromalacia could develop from mere wear and tear or a twisting of the knee and also stated that he could not determine from mere observation when or how the condition developed. He further testified that plaintiff suffers permanent disability which prevents him from returning to work as a truck driver.
At the time of the accident, plaintiff was 33 years of age and had been a truck driver for 13 years, earning approximately $33,000 in the preceding year. Plaintiff has a two-year high school education and has no other special skills, training or work experience. Plaintiff was unable to work from the date of the accident until February 1, 1983. Since then, he has set up his own limousine business, which has been unsuccessful to date. Plaintiff now drives a school bus at a salary $17,000 less than he made as a truck driver.
In ruling on defendant's post-trial motions following the jury's award to plaintiff, the trial court stated that it believed that the verdict was against the manifest weight of the evidence, commenting that there was no breach of any duty owed to plaintiff and that plaintiff assumed any risk. The court also voiced concern over its failure to instruct the jury with regard to the directed verdict on the other negligence theories.
On appeal, we will first determine whether the jury's finding was contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence so as to justify a new trial (Doubet v. Morgan (1984), 122 Ill. App. 3d 431, 461 N.E.2d 62), or, as defendant urges, whether the evidence viewed in a light most favorable to plaintiff so overwhelmingly favors defendant that a contrary verdict could never stand (Pedrick v. Peoria & Eastern R.R. Co. (1967), 37 Ill. 2d 494, 229 N.E.2d 504). We will then address whether the trial court's failure to specially instruct the jury as to the special directed verdict or whether other errors raised by defendant justify granting a new trial.
In reviewing whether the plaintiff sufficiently established the elements necessary to sustain his negligence claim, we begin with defendant's contention that it did not breach any duty owed to plaintiff. It is clear that defendant owed plaintiff, a business invitee on his premises, a general duty to use reasonable and ordinary care in keeping the property reasonably safe. (Olinger v. Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. (1961), 21 Ill. 2d 469, 473, 173 N.E.2d 443, 445.) The Restatement (Second) of Torts, which has been incorporated into the common law of Illinois (Genaust v. Illinois Power Co. (1976), 62 Ill. 2d 456, 353 N.E.2d 465; Fancil v. Q.S.E. Foods, Inc. (1975), 60 Ill. 2d 552, 328 N.E.2d 538), more specifically defines the duty owed by possessors of land as to conditions on their land:
"A possessor of land is subject to liability for physical harm caused to his invitees by a condition on land if, but only if, he
(a) knows or by the exercise of reasonable care would discover the condition, and should realize that it involves an unreasonable risk of harm to such invitees, and
(b) should expect that they will not discover or realize the danger, or will fail to protect themselves against it, and
(c) fails to exercise reasonable care to protect them against the danger." Restatement (Second) of Torts § 343 (1965).
Defendant initially urges that the lowered dockplate was not an unreasonably dangerous condition, and, as such, it could not have breached any duty by failing to protect plaintiff from the condition. Photographs introduced at trial, however, depict the sharp edge on the plate that extended out at a 90-degree angle when in a lowered position. The evidence also indicated that the dockplate was located in an area where defendant positions trucks for unloading. We find that this evidence sufficiently established an unreasonable risk of harm.
Defendant next argues that even assuming the lowered dockplate was an unreasonably dangerous condition, it did not breach any duty owed to plaintiff because the lowered dockplate was an open and obvious condition. It asserts that the instant case is analogous to Sepesy v. Archer Daniels Midland Co. (1981), 97 Ill. App. 3d 868, 423 N.E.2d 942, wherein the appellate court held that the defendant did not owe a duty to warn or protect the plaintiff from the condition because any risk confronted by the truck driver who was injured standing on a "ramp" with an incline behind a truck that rolled backwards was open and obvious.
Plaintiff, while he concedes that the condition of the dockplate was open and obvious, argues that defendant nonetheless owed him a duty because it had reason to expect that he would still suffer physical harm. For this proposition, plaintiff relies on the section 343 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts quoted above and its companion section, which addresses known or obvious dangers:
"A possessor of land is not liable to his invitees for physical harm caused to them by any activity or condition on the land whose danger is known or obvious to them, unless the possessor should anticipate the harm despite such knowledge or obviousness." (Emphasis added.) (Restatement (Second) of Torts § 343A (1965).)
Plaintiff further cites comment f to the Reporter's Notes to section 343A, which explains when a possessor may have reason to expect harm despite obvious dangers:
"Such reason to expect harm . . . may arise, for example, where the possessor has reason to expect that the invitee's attention may be distracted, so that he will not discover what is obvious, or will forget what he has discovered, or fail to protect himself against it. Such reason may also arise where the possessor has reason to expect that the invitee will proceed to encounter the known or obvious danger because to a reasonable man in his position the advantages of doing so would outweigh the apparent risk." Restatement (Second) of Torts § 343A, comment f (1965).
In the case at bar, plaintiff introduced evidence that defendant directed plaintiff's truck to the dock, leaving approximately a five-inch gap between the edge of the dockplate and the rear of the truck. Defendant's employee suggested that plaintiff unload the truck by hand and placed a skid dockside for that purpose. Defendant was aware that plaintiff's truck contained an unstable load. This evidence amply demonstrates that defendant should have been aware that plaintiff might be distracted or suffer harm when attempting to unload his truck notwithstanding the obvious risk. Thus, plaintiff adequately established the existence of a duty as described by sections 343 and 343A, and the evidence was sufficient for the jury to have found that defendant breached the duty of care owed to plaintiff.
Our finding is consistent with Illinois case law. Sepesy, mentioned above, is distinguishable from the instant case in that the plaintiff presented no evidence there showing that the defendant had reason to expect that the plaintiff would suffer harm notwithstanding the open, obvious risk. The court noted in Sepesy that the specific risk taken by the plaintiff was the act of standing between two trucks and that no evidence was presented showing any distraction or reason for the defendant to suspect that the defendant would be distracted. Sepesy, 97 Ill. App. 3d at 874, 423 N.E.2d at 947.
The case at bar is more analogous to the case cited by plaintiff, Shaffer v. Mays (1986), 140 Ill. App. 3d 779, 489 N.E.2d 35. In Shaffer, the plaintiff, who had earlier cut a hole in the floor for remodeling work at the defendant's home, fell into the uncovered hole when moving a truss. The court reasoned there that the evidence sufficiently established that the defendant breached a duty owed to the plaintiff because the defendant had reason to believe that the plaintiff might be distracted and forget the danger or fail to guard himself against it.
We next consider defendant's contention that plaintiff did not prove that defendant's actions actually and proximately caused his injury. The burden is on the plaintiff to show to a reasonable certainty that the defendant's conduct was the actual cause of the injury. (Morton v. F.B.D. Enterprises (1986), 141 Ill. App. 3d 553, 490 N.E.2d 995.) Defendant asserts that the shifting of the load was the sole cause of the injury and that plaintiff's treating physician's testimony did not establish otherwise. Defendant directs us to Kaminsky's testimony that plaintiff's type of injury could be caused by a twisting or wear and tear of the knee and that he could not determine the cause of the injury from merely observing the knee.
Defendant's argument ignores the competent evidence presented here by plaintiff. Plaintiff testified that when the boxes knocked him over, his right knee landed in the space between the dockplate and the back of the truck and that his knee forcefully struck the sharp edge. Plaintiff's treating physician stated that plaintiff's type of injury may be caused by direct trauma that causes pressure on the kneecap so that its underside is forced against the femur, causing the cartilage to soften. He also unequivocally stated that in his opinion, the trauma in issue here either caused the right knee damage or aggravated a preexisting condition. This evidence demonstrates to a reasonable certainty that plaintiff's contact with the dockplate caused his injury.
Defendant also argues that its actions did not proximately cause plaintiff's injuries because plaintiff's load's shifting and falling, a subsequent independent occurrence, proximately caused his injury. Ordinarily, the question of proximate cause is one of fact for the jury, although it may be treated as a matter of law in undisputed fact situations in which a court has deemed an intervening event to be so unforeseeable that the first wrongdoer could not have reasonably anticipated a third party to act and cause harm to another. (Duncavage v. Allen (1986), 147 Ill. App. 3d 88, 96, 497 N.E.2d 433, 437.) It is further established that an intervening cause, one that combines with another negligent act to cause plaintiff's injury, does not relieve a person from responsibility for a negligent act when the intervening cause is foreseeable. Lindenmier v. City of Rockford (1987), 156 Ill. App. 3d 76, 90, 508 N.E.2d 1201, 1211.
In the case at bar, it is not clearly unforeseeable that a trucker would attempt to manually unload a palletized freight, or that the boxes would tumble over, when defendant refused to assist the trucker and placed a skid near the dock so that the trucker could manually unload his delivery. Nonetheless, defendant argues that it could not have proximately caused the injury because it only created a condition that had come to rest in a position of apparent safety before a new force intervened. The principle that defendant posits has been discredited and remains only in fact situations where a new force intervenes after the forces set in operation by the defendant have come to rest in a position of apparent safety. (Duncavage, 147 Ill. App. 3d at 97, 497 N.E.2d at 438; Orrico v. Beverly Bank (1982), 109 Ill. App. 3d 102, 108, 440 N.E.2d 253, 258.) This principle is inapplicable to the instant case because the force put in operation by defendant, the unreasonably dangerous condition, was never at rest nor was plaintiff in a position of safety.
Accordingly, we hold that the trial court erred in finding the jury's verdict to be against the manifest weight of the evidence.
We now turn to the question of whether the trial court's failure to specially instruct the jury as to the partial directed verdict warrants its granting a new trial. Defendant contends that the lack of an instruction prejudiced him by allowing the jury to consider evidence as to nonissues, namely, defendant's breach of duty in not unloading plaintiff's trailer or providing assistance to plaintiff. Since the issue instructions clearly informed the jury as to the single claim of negligence and defendant was allowed to argue the question of the directed verdict to the jury, we find that defendant did not suffer prejudice from a lack of an instruction in this regard. In any event, any error would not justify a new trial because defendant did not submit an instruction to the court and thereby waived the issue. See Mackey v. Daddio (1985), 139 Ill. App. 3d 604, 487 N.E.2d 1167.
We next address whether the trial court committed any other errors that would justify granting a new trial. With regard to the trial court's selection of jury instructions, defendant first asserts that the trial court denied defendant its right to have its theory of the case instructed to the jury by its refusal to submit non-Illinois Pattern Jury Instructions (non-IPI) Nos. 4 and 5 tendered by defendant. Non-IPI No. 4, reciting a Department of Transportation regulation that a person shall not drive a vehicle unless its cargo is properly secured, stated that the jury could consider this fact on the contributory negligence issue. As plaintiff points out, this regulation is irrelevant to the case at bar because the truck was not being operated at the time of the occurrence.
Non-IPI No. 5 provided: "It is the rule in Illinois that where a defendant's negligence, if any, creates merely a passive condition that makes an injury possible, but is not the cause of the injury, the defendant cannot be held liable for the plaintiff's injury." The cases defendant cites for this principle do not mandate an instruction to this effect. We find that the Illinois Pattern Jury Instructions, Civil, Nos. 12.04, 15.01 (2d ed. 1971) (hereinafter IPI Civil 2d) submitted by the court on the issue of proximate cause sufficiently informed the jury of the existing law.
Defendant also asserts that the court erred in giving plaintiff's IPI Civil 2d Nos. 16, 21, 27, and 31. Defendant argues that No. 16 was duplicative of No. 12, thereby overemphasizing the duty owed by defendant and suggesting that defendant had a heightened duty because premises were involved. No. 12 recites that "[it] was the duty of defendant before and at the time of the occurrence to use ordinary care for the safety of the plaintiff; that means it was the duty of the defendant to be free from negligence." (IPI Civil 2d No. A10.04 (Supp. 1981).) No. 16 states: "The occupant of property owed the plaintiff the duty to exercise ordinary care to keep the property reasonably safe for use by the plaintiff." (IPI Civil 2d No. 120.06.) We reject defendant's contention that these instructions suggest a heightened duty on defendant's part, as the one merely recites an individual's general duty and the other more specifically defines that duty as applied to possessors of land.
Defendant further argues that the evidence does not support submitting future damages issue instructions Nos. 21, 27, and 31, to the jury. (IPI Civil 2d Nos. 30.01, 34.04, A45.06 (1981 Supp.).) Impairment of earning capacity or loss of earnings is recoverable only when reasonably certain to occur in the future. (Christou v. Arlington Park -- Washington Park Race Tracks Corp. (1982), 104 Ill. App. 3d 257, 432 N.E.2d 920.) Defendant, citing Henricks v. Nyberg, Inc. (1976), 41 Ill. App. 3d 25, 353 N.E.2d 273, argues for the first time on appeal that Dr. Kaminsky's prognosis cannot support the test of reasonable certainty since it was formed over four years ago.
The instant case is distinguishable from Henricks. There, the doctor had treated the plaintiff for only a period of three weeks. In the instant case, Kaminsky, after treating plaintiff for two years and after three surgeries and extensive rehabilitation, concluded upon plaintiff's release that his condition had reached a permanent state. He also reviewed the findings of Dr. Dwyer, a doctor who examined plaintiff in 1986 at defendant's request and found that plaintiff's condition had not materially changed from when he released plaintiff from his care in 1983.
Finally, defendant directs us to the trial court's denial of its request that the court voir dire a juror who explained her late arrival to court by stating that her daughter had sustained injuries after being hit by a car the previous evening. We do not believe that the court's failure to voir dire the juror in this regard justifies granting a new trial.
In summary, we hold that the verdict was not against the manifest weight of the evidence to justify the court's granting a new trial, nor are the court's failure to specially instruct the jury, its failure to voir dire a juror, and its selection of jury instructions grounds for a new trial. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's order granting a new trial; affirm its denial of defendant's motions for a directed verdict and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict; and remand this case with directions to the trial court to reinstate the judgment in favor of plaintiff.
Affirmed in part; reversed and remanded with directions.

Teachers announce plans for summer strikes
The National Union of Teachers has voted for a series of fresh strikes, starting with a national walkout in June.
The National Union of Teachers has voted for a series of fresh strikes, starting with a national walkout in June.
The Department for Education has hit out at the National Union of Teachers over proposed strike action in June, saying it will "damage the reputation of the profession".
A spokesperson added that it was up to headteachers to ensure their staff have manageable workloads.
Ministers have met frequently with the NUT and other unions and will continue to do so. Further strike action will only disrupt parents' lives, hold back children's education and damage the reputation of the profession.
It is important that teachers work closely with school leaders to ensure that their workload is manageable. We trust the professionalism of our headteachers to monitor their staff's workload and address any issues.

Aimed at those with little or no knowledge of the condition, the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Diploma Course teaches students about how it occurs, how it is diagnosed, the symptoms, and the various treatment techniques available. This course is also designed to help you on your way towards working within this area.
Separated into 2 distinct sections, the 1st section of this course provides information about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and what those with the condition can do to lessen its effects on their lives. The 2nd section of the course teaches students about the various treatment methods available and the training pathways you can follow to become a therapist working with those who have PTSD.
There is a lot that is misunderstood about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that this course hopes to clarify. Students will be provided with relevant facts that explain who can get the condition and how, a description of the symptoms affiliated with PTSD, and what to expect from a diagnosis.
Thankfully there is now a wide range of treatments available to sufferers of PTSD, with options including clinical, medical, and complementary treatments. This course guides students through a number of treatments, explaining the differences and benefits of each. In addition, there are also a number of self-help activities, which will also be discussed, that have proven to significantly ease the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Even with the various treatments and self-help practices available to them, it can still be very difficult for someone afflicted by PTSD to engage with the world around them. The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Diploma Course describes practical steps that can be taken by an individual, to become more involved with friends, family, the workplace, and society as a whole.
As mentioned earlier, students will be exposed to the role of a therapist working with those with PTSD. This includes understanding the process of diagnosis and typical treatment plans, as well as understanding what the role involves, the skills needed, and training pathways. Although there are many different specialists working to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD in their patients, this course goes into detail about 3 specific areas: Trauma-Informed Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
In addition to teaching students about the role of therapists and the types of treatments that can be provided, the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Course also discusses the routes that can be followed to become an expert in the area of PTSD. This also includes how to go about starting your own practice, discussing both the practical aspects and considerations you would need to make before setting up on your own.
NOTE: The information contained within this course does not act a replacement for professional medical care. An individual who suspects they may have PTSD, should immediately go to see their doctor to have a formal assessment. If you suspect that someone you know has PTSD, then encourage them to go see their doctor.
This course will provide anyone who wants to understand the condition better and the treatments available, with an incredible source of information. This could be to aid yourself in overcoming the effects of PTSD or to help a friend/family member who has the condition.
The course can also be taken by those who are interested in pursuing a career caring for those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and would like more information on how the condition is treated and the pathways they can take to obtain a role in this area.
The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Diploma Course will take you up to 150 hours to complete working from home. There is no time limit for completing this course, it can be studied in your own time at your own pace.
This course is certified by the IANLPC (International Association of NLP & Coaching) and the IAHT (International Alliance of Holistic Therapists), both of which are internationally recognised organisations. The IAHT certify personal development, health, fitness and nutrition courses. The IANLPC is a global support network for NLP Professionals and coaches, including the fields of Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy Business Coaching, Leadership, Nutritional, CBT, Personal Development and Holistic Therapy.

How to Change a Forgotten iMac Password
Setting a password on an iMac computer is important to protect the computer's contents from unauthorized access. When setting up an iMac computer, a master password can be assigned to the iMac administrator account, and sub-user accounts can also be password-protected. If sub-user passwords are forgotten, they are easily changed; but changing the iMac administrator's account takes a bit more work.
Things You'll Need
- Original OS X install disc
User Passwords
Step 1
Boot up the computer and log in to the administrator's user account.
Step 2
From the Apple menu, select "System Preferences."
Step 3
When the System preferences window opens, look in the "System" pane, and choose "Accounts."
Step 4
Click on the lock icon if it is locked, and enter the original iMac administrator's password.
Step 5
In the Account Pane, click on the user account of the password you wish to change.In Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4, click the "Reset Password" button. In Mac OS X v10.5 and later, click the "Change Password" button.
iMac Administrator Password
Step 1
Insert the Mac OS X installation disc into the optical drive and restart the iMac, holding down the "C" key while it starts. Release the "C" key when you hear the startup tone.Alternatively, insert the Mac OS X installation disc into the drive and go to the Apple menu. Select "System Preferences," then "Startup Disc" to select the disc you just inserted to start up your iMac.
Step 2
When the "Installer" screen appears, select the appropriate language, then click the button to continue.
Step 3
Select "Reset Password" from the Installer Menu for Mac OS X v10.3, or "Reset Password" from the "Utilities" Menu for Mac OS X v10.4 or 10.5.
Step 4
Choose the Macintosh HD volume by highlighting it. Select the original administrator's user name. Enter your new password, and click "Save." Quit the Mac OS X installer and restart your iMac.
Tips & Warnings
- Don't forget to enter the login password you just changed in "Keychain Access."
- Keep your original Mac OS X install discs in a secure place--using the discs, anyone can access and change your iMac's password.

The Jotunheim Beast is an animal native to Jotunheim. It is massive in size and can run at incredible speeds. It can be frozen solid for long periods of time.
One of these beasts was awakened from his deep slumber by Laufey to kill Thor, Loki, Sif, and The Warriors Three for intruding in his realm.
It was soon killed by Thor, who propelled himself through its head.[1]
Another beast was disturbed by Thor and Malekith's battle through the portals of the Convergence. It wound up in London, where it rampaged through the city for at least two days. [2][3]

In the world of cybercrime where hackers are generally one step ahead of everybody else, good security practices can literally be the difference between protecting critical computer data and exposing the personal and confidential information of school staff, students, parents, and third-party contractors.
From intense policy and political debate in the U.S. to the effects of recent votes in Europe and rising debt levels in China, the path to going global for the channel has never seemed so lucrative. As someone with more than 15 years international experience, edgy resellers and IT service providers have been asking what one piece of advice I would offer to help in their global strategies. And, while this insight is focused on the IT channel, I believe these guidelines are applicable across multiple industries. So here it is: stay the course.
Everyone knows more knowledgeable, engaged employees should translate into more success. So why don't more companies invest in their people? I've asked myself that question for years.
Productivity is something everyone aims to improve upon. Whether you are a business owner, part of the sales team, handle customer service, or manage the organization's IT infrastructure, there is always room to improve.

A former tour de force is forced to tour
Here's Andy Cotterill taking Nick Lowe's picture earlier today for Word. We met in a room at the back of a pub in West London that Nick has used in the past to try out new material. He stopped using it a while back when the landlord changed and the staff starting looking at him with pity. "I think they thought I was a bloke who used to be on the TV who just took the place to recall former glories." His new album's called "At My Age". It's wonderful.

Beacon Community Program to fund digital health record adoption in 15 communities
The Health and Human Services Department is starting a new grant program to distribute $235 million to communities that can serve as models for use of electronic health records (EHRs).
Through the Beacon Communites Program, HHS will be awarding $220 million to 15 communities that have demonstrated high levels of digital health record usage, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said today in a news release. Another $15 million will go for technical assistance and independent evaluation services to those areas.
"These communities are best-positioned to lead the way in accomplishing meaningful use of electronic health record systems, and to provide valuable lessons to other localities on the preferred approaches to elevating the performance of local health systems using health [information technology]," David Blumenthal, HHS' Health IT National Coordinator said.
The grants will pay for building and strengthening health IT infrastructures and health information exchange, including privacy and security measures. The goal is to use digital records to improve health care quality and efficiency while reducing costs.
HHS officials said applications for the Beacon Communities Program grants will be available in the near future. The program is funded under the economic stimulus law.
In a related effort to advance health IT, the stimulus law provided $20 billion in incentives to providers who purchase and "meaningfully use" certified EHR systems. HHS is preparing rulemaking by year's end to specify standards for the certifications and meaningful use, along with privacy and security rules and quality measurements.

Are you stuck in a workout rut? If you're bored with your routine, hitting the weight loss wall or just plain losing interest in exercise, you might be on the downside of your love affair with fitness. There are ways of changing the exercises you're already doing to make them more interesting and help challenge your body in a whole new way.

How to Change Your Workouts:
The key to continually challenging your muscles is to take the exercises you're currently doing and change some aspect of them every 4 to 6 weeks. Some simple changes include:

 Changing the type of resistance you're using - Machines, Dumbbells, Barbells, Cables, Tubing, or just body weight

 Changing your posture - Lying, seated, standing, split stance, bent over, standing on one leg or using an exercise ball

 Changing the movement- Using both arms/legs at once, using one arm/leg at a time or alternating sides.

 Changing the exercise -For example, doing pushups instead of chest press or pullovers instead of rows

 Changing the weight/reps - When adding weight, reduce the # of repetitions. When lightening the weight, add more reps (don't do more than 20 reps of each exercise)

 Adding an exercise - If you're doing a split routine, you can do anywhere from 3-5 exercises per body part.

The trick is to do something different to keep the training effect going all the time, which means avoiding weight loss and strength plateaus. Check out the sample workout below for some ideas on how to change your own routine.

Sample Total Body Workout:

Weeks 1-4:
Seated Chest Press Machine
Seated Cable Row Machine
Seated Overhead Press Machine
Barbell Bicep Curls
Dumbbell Tricep Kickbacks, One arm at a time
Leg Press Machine

Weeks 5-8:
Seated Chest Press Machine, One arm at a time
Bent Over Dumbbell Rows, One arm at a time
Bent Over Seated Reverse Flyes, Dumbbells
Standing overhead press with dumbbells
Dumbbell Bicep curls, One arm at a time
Tricep Pushdowns, Cables
Leg Press Machine, One leg at a time

Weeks 9-12:
Dumbbell Chest Flye on Flat Bench
Pushups, on knees
Lat Pulldown, Cables
Bent Over Standing Reverse Flyes, Dumbbells
Dumbbell Side lateral raise, Standing on one leg
Dumbbell Front Raise, Split Stance
Cable bicep curls, Split Stance, one arm at a time
Tricep Pushdowns, Cables, One arm at a time
Squats with Dumbbells
Standing Side Leg Lifts, Tubing

"I thought I'd take the chance to point out Blogger's comparative reach…since I was always trying to get people in Google to recognize it," he writes.

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIAv.ROBERT G. KINCADE, APPELLANT
Appeal from the Order entered February 3, 1984 in the Court of Common Pleas of Lawrence County, Criminal NO. 196 of 1980.
Dan P. Wimer, New Castle, for appellant.
William M. Panella, District Attorney, New Castle, for Com., appellee.
Rowley, Del Sole and Cercone, JJ.
[ 358 Pa. Super. Page 592]
Appellant was charged with criminal trespass,*fn1 simple assault,*fn2 and criminal mischief.*fn3 At the close of the
[ 358 Pa. Super. Page 593]
Commonwealth's case, the court granted a motion to dismiss the charge of criminal trespass and stated, "[t]he motion of the Defendant to dismiss or order a directed verdict on the criminal mischief charge . . . is refused; however the degree of the offense is reduced to a summary." (Trial Transcript at 132).*fn4 The court at that time also removed the charge of criminal mischief from the jury. Appellant was subsequently found not guilty of simple assault and the court found Appellant guilty of criminal mischief. Post-trial motions were filed and denied. Thereafter Appellant was sentenced to ninety days probation, fined two hundred fifty dollars and ordered to pay the costs of prosecution. This timely appeal followed.
On appeal, Appellant asks:*fn5
[ 358 Pa. Super. Page 5941]
. Whether a person can be found guilty of criminal mischief when the Commonwealth introduces no evidence as to pecuniary damage.
2. Whether trial counsel was ineffective for:
a. failing to sufficiently raise the issue of Appellant's ownership of the property in question.
b. failing to object to the District Attorney's conflict in representing Appellant's adversary in a related civil action.
c. failing to object when the court took the charge of criminal mischief from the jury's consideration.
Appellant's initial claim is that absent evidence of pecuniary damage, there can be no conviction for the summary offense of criminal mischief. We disagree.
Appellant was charged with a violation of 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 3304(a)(2) which states:
(a) Offense defined. A person is guilty of criminal mischief if he:
(2) intentionally or recklessly tampers with tangible property of another so as to endanger person or property;
18 Pa.C.S.A. § 3304(a)(2).
Pecuniary damage is not an element of the charged offense of criminal mischief. With respect to the grading of the offense, 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 3304(b) provides:
(b) Grading. Criminal mischief is a felony of the third degree if the actor intentionally causes pecuniary loss in excess of $5,000, or a substantial interruption or impairment of public communication, transportation, supply of water, gas or power, or other public service. It is a misdemeanor of the second degree if the actor intentionally causes pecuniary loss in excess of $1,000, or a misdemeanor of the third degree if he intentionally or recklessly
[ 358 Pa. Super. Page 595]
causes pecuniary loss in excess of $500. Otherwise criminal mischief is a summary offense.
18 Pa.C.S.A. § 3304(b) (emphasis added).
We decline Appellant's invitation to read into the statute that which is not there. Proof of pecuniary loss is not required by the statute when criminal mischief is charged under 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 3304(a)(2) as a summary offense.
Appellant next contends trial counsel was ineffective in several respects.
Pennsylvania law regarding ineffectiveness of counsel is well documented. Commonwealth ex rel. Washington v. Maroney, 427 Pa. 599, 235 A.2d 349 (1967), enunciated the process to be used as a two-pronged analysis consisting first of a determination of whether the issue underlying the ineffectiveness claim is of arguable merit, and second whether the course chosen by counsel had some reasonable basis aimed at promoting the appellant's interests . . . . In addition to the above requirements, an appellant must establish that the ineffectiveness so prejudiced his case that he did not receive a fair trial.
Commonwealth v. Brandt, 353 Pa. Super. 250, 252-53, 509 A.2d 872, 874 (1986).
Trial counsel is first said to have been ineffective for failing to sufficiently raise the issue of Appellant's ownership of the property in question. Appellant directs our attention to Commonwealth v. Shaffer, 32 Pa. Super. 375 (1907) wherein this Court discussed the offense of malicious mischief and noted, "where the injurious act is done or committed in the exercise or enforcement of what the defendant honestly believes to be his legal right, even though such belief should be a mistaken one, there can be no conviction." Id., 32 Pa. Superior Ct. at 379-380.
It is necessary to distinguish a claim that the trial court erred in finding Appellant guilty of criminal mischief when he reasonably believed he owned the property in question from the issue of whether counsel was ineffective for failing to sufficiently raise the issue of Appellant's ownership of the property. Alleged error by the trial court on
[ 358 Pa. Super. Page 596]
this matter is not before us.*fn6 The record reflects that Appellant's alleged ownership of the property was sufficiently raised. Appellant points out:
The trial transcript in this case contains numerous references to the fact that the ownership of portions of the sewer pipeline was disputed between Mr. Kincade and Laurel Courts, Inc. which ran the trailer park. The Defendant ordered several other people, "to get off his property". (T.N. P. 40). This was at the location of the manhole in question. The person who was the victim of the alleged assault also testified that he had knowledge of the dispute over the ownership of the sewer line in question. (N.T. p. 111). This person was also an officer of the corporation which ran the trailer park adjacent to Defendant's property. Also the Defendant testified that, "they are on my property and the sewer line is on my property. So what's contained on my property belongs to me." (N.T. p. 138).
The Defendant testified that there had been a survey performed at the request of the trailer park. The defendant also stated that the surveyor had testified at a prior proceeding that the manhole in question was not on the trailer park's right of way, but rather was on the property of the Defendant.
(Appellant's Brief at 6-7).
We therefore reject Appellant's claim of ineffectiveness of counsel on this point.
It is next asserted that counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the District Attorney's conflict in representing Appellant's adversary in a related civil action. Appellant acknowledges that the District Attorney did not serve as trial counsel at the criminal trial and fails to assert in any event impropriety on the part of the staff of the District Attorney's office trying the case. "[C]counsel will not be considered ineffective for failure to assert a meritless claim." Commonwealth v. Buehl, 510 Pa. 363, 379, 508 A.2d 1167, 1175 (1986).
[ 358 Pa. Super. Page 597]
Finally Appellant argues that counsel was ineffective for failing to object when the court took the charge of criminal mischief from the jury's consideration.
"A summary offense is one punishable by ninety days imprisonment, or a $300 fine, or both. See 18 Pa.C.S. §§ 106(c)(2); 1101(6)." Eichenlaub v. Eichenlaub, 340 Pa. Super. 552, 558, 490 A.2d 918, 921 (1985). "The Constitution requires that one accused of a 'serious offense' be given a jury trial." Commonwealth v. Mayberry, 459 Pa. 91, 97, 327 A.2d 86, 89 (1974).
The question becomes whether the crime charged . . . is 'serious'. The test is clear. The decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States 'have established a fixed dividing line between petty and serious offenses: those crimes carrying more than six months sentence are serious and those carrying less are petty crimes.'
Id., 459 Pa. at 98, 327 A.2d at 89.
Appellant was not entitled to a trial by jury on the summary offense of criminal mischief and counsel can not as a result be found ineffective for failing to object when the court took the charge from the jury's consideration.
Order affirmed.
