Weigel's Dairy Nominated for Milk Plant of the Year
The Dairy Foods Magazine competition will announce the winner in August.
POWELL, Tenn. -- Weigel's Stores Inc., home of Broadacre Dairy, has been nominated by Dairy Foods Magazine for Milk Plant of the Year. Weigel's is considered a micro-dairy compared to the other nominees, which include The Dannon Co., Swiss Valley Farms and Mars Ice Cream, to name a few.
"This is such a great honor to be nominated alongside milk industry giants, many of which have brand names recognized by millions of consumers," said Bill Weigel, chairman and CEO of Weigel's Stores, a family-owned business operating 60 dairy and convenience stores throughout Knoxville, Tenn., and the surrounding area. "We've been committed to first-rate products since our inception, and our goal is to produce the best and freshest-tasting milk in Knoxville."
Voting ends June 30, and the Milk Plant of the Year winner will be announced Aug. 13.
"We're an 80-year-old dairy that started in 1931 as Weigel Brothers Dairy. We eventually distributed our products to grocery stores and restaurants in Knoxville under the name Broadacre Dairy. As the business expanded, we began selling exclusively to local schools, and then under the Weigel's private label brand through Weigel's Stores," the chief executive noted.
This is not the only honor Weigel's Stores has received recently. In the past year, the company also won the coveted First Place Blue-Ribbon for its chocolate milk in the Tennessee State Fair Fluid Milk Quality Competition, as CSNews Online previously reported. Its chocolate milk was voted the best among all dairies serving the state. Scoring was based on milk flavor, body and texture when tasting.

Our Top 5 Alternative Social Platforms
by Ethan Loughrey
Name a social network. No, not that one. Or that one. Or that; those three are all too obvious. And while we are on the case, we already have an article on the Top 5 Social Platforms. This is the alternative ones (dude).
Well, Startacus is here to help. There's actually a massively open market of social media companies which you can tap into beyond the big two and a half. We've listed below what we consider to be
six of the best for your pleasure. Some aren't the conventional "post, share and like" that you may be used to, but they all have their own quirks and their own individual audiences.
Number 1: reddit. Reddit is divided up into thousands of mini websites (called sub-reddits) that cover just about every interest it's possible to have. For start-ups and business managers this is no different. Shut up and take my money is a chance for people with original ideas and a physical design to link to their concept and gain feedback, purchasing offers and a wide audience. Then there are the more obvious ones such as that for entrepreneurs and those involved in business. These later two have over 170,000 subscribers between them and potentially as many other general viewers.
Number 2: Ideas Tap. Pitching itself as the "creative network", Ideas Tap has a more than impressive customer base with over 85,000 members already. Tailored towards supporting people interested in creating and searching for jobs within the Arts, they offer opportunities for employer and employee alike, as well as various funding options and careers advice. A heavy weight already, despite the fact that you may not have heard of them.
Number 3: The third website on our list is the oddly named Squidoo. (We looked for a reason for the name but couldn't find one. We like it though. Quirky.) As with reddit, it depends upon user generated content on the assumption that "Everyone's an Expert". Start-ups can write articles (known as lenses) and benefit from any traffic generated by ads on the website. This is where Squidoo sets itself aside from other such companies, giving 50% of its revenue to the people who write the lenses. As an aside, it should be noted Squidoo offers writers the option to donate these earnings to one of over 200 charities and for their 5th anniversary gave an additional $275,000.
Number 4: Pinterest. A highly stylish social network, you have the option of joining it as a business. The website provides "case studies" which it says illustrates the potential for growth. Its strengths lies in the ease with which people can view your wares or business idea. It is extremely easy to use and that's what its users like about it – there is no need to spend hours cataloguing things in chronologically coloured order. It should be made clear this isn't for everyone though. Entrepreneurs dealing in simple but attractive items will find the greatest gains.
Number 5: Generally considered the most time consuming, but also the most fun, Tumblr is our final recommendation on the list of social networks. Where Pinterest made it easy for users to admire your wares, Tumblr makes it simple for your company to share news and similarly have others share it on. It is an ideal platform for versatile and not yet big players to get themselves known and their name out there. It is best used in conjunction with your own website; just make sure you share more than non-descript and self promotional text notifications.
A final piece of advice. Before opening accounts on all of these, decide on whether or not a profile will have to be kept up to date, and whether you have the resources to maintain this. Few things look as bad when somebody stumbles across a barren and derelict website. Also, know their styles. Cross posting content might be alright for most networks, but some audiences prefer a certain approach and may be unhappy if you fail to take the time to check this.
Of course, it'd be more than remiss of us not to mention our own extremely attractive social platform for the self starter here at Startacus. It's free to join and you'll have the chance to chat to our lovely faces!

In a study of the globalization policies of 121 web sites by Byte Level Research, no retailers made the top 10. To earn a spot in the Top 10, sites must provide a truly localized experience for their foreign customers, Byte Level says.
In spite of the widely recognized ability of the web to extend sales worldwide--and the success that some leading e-retailers have had in overseas sales--no retailers made the Top 10 in a study of the globalization policies at 121 web sites by researchers Byte Level Research.
To earn high ranking in the study, sites must provide a truly localized experience for their foreign customers, Byte Level says.
Even well-known global retailers like Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. scored poorly. Indeed, Sears.com and WalMart.com scored in the bottom 10 of the 121 sites because of lack of consistency in web pages, slow-loading pages, and lack of support for key foreign languages. "These web sites are proof that having a global company does not necessarily make for a global web site," says John Yunker, president of Byte Level Research.
Starbucks Coffee Co.`s Starbucks.com was the highest-ranked retail site, in 12th place, followed by LandsEnd.com in 14th. Yunker notes that Starbucks provides a consistent brand image and user interface throughout its foreign markets, and that Lands` End provides good local customer support and local product selection.
Byte Level noted that Amazon.com ranked 20th and could have scored higher if it offered a better global gateway with easier access to its foreign sites. Byte Level also noted efforts by L.L. Bean to launch a Japanese-language web site and Office Depot Inc. to launch a Spanish-language site in the U.S. market. The top-ranked site for globalization was Google.com.
Byte Level also noted:
-- The best global web sites are built for speed, though in most countries, more than 70% of all web users have slow, dial-up Internet connections, forcing companies to keep graphics and multimedia files to a minimum. Even in the U.S., broadband penetration is still under 20% of all households.
-- Companies should not assume that .com stands for North America. The .com page needs to include a "global gateway" that directs users to a company's localized web sites. Not all local users intuitively know the URLs of the localized web sites.
The complexity inherent in large networks of connected devices brings the contact center front and ...

The world's largest retailer launches the My Local Walmart Facebook application.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. today launched a Facebook application designed to connect consumers with their nearest Wal-Mart stores. The My Walmart application aims to deliver shoppers distinct store-specific information, such as in-store events and promotions, as well as region-specific products for its more than 3,500 stores.
"We wanted to take our focus from the national to the local level so that a consumer in Florida sees an offer for sunscreen while someone in the North sees an offer for snowshoes," says a spokeswoman for Wal-Mart, No. 6 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.
Wal-Mart, which worked with an undisclosed vendor to build the application, says consumers were asking for a more localized Facebook experience. "We've been looking at posts and feedback from our customers saying that location information was one of the main things they were seeking on Facebook," the spokeswoman says.
To access the application, consumers visiting Wal-Mart's Facebook page have to click on the My Local Walmart tab. After they input their ZIP code, Like their favorite stores and click the I'm Ready button, the application presents them with local information, which it also broadcasts to their news feeds about twice a week.
Consumers can click to share products and other information with their friends via the application—even though sharing through My Walmart is not the same form of "frictionless sharing" that other retailers, such as Netflix Inc., are using on Facebook. Frictionless sharing broadcasts the connections that users make between themselves and a variety of objects, web sites and activities.
The application also features downloadable maps of a consumer's store that the spokeswoman says will be particularly useful on the day after Thanksgiving, which is often referred to as Black Friday. "Shoppers will be able to have their circular in their hand and print out a map so they can plan exactly where they'll run to when the doors open," she says.
Wal-Mart's local focus on the social network comes less than month after it acquired OneRiot, a company that analyzes social media data so that marketers can deliver more personalized ads.
Wal-Mart, which has more than 9.4 million fans on the Facebook, says it aims to add localized interactions in time. That would enable a consumer to ask a question about her specific store and receive a response from an associate who works there. "We want to get to that point, but we're beginning with the application," the spokeswoman says. "So much more can be done in the future and that type of interaction is where we want to get."
Here are five technologies that can unleash the power of all the data an online ...

Our family has been hiking up to Tipling Rock at the Nobscot Scout Reservation in Framingham/Sudbury for years. At an elevation of 426 feet, it's easy enough for an energetic 4-year old to hike it in under an hour round-trip, long enough to count as an adult's exercise for the day, yet high enough to offer views of three states, the Boston skyline including the John Hancock Tower, Mt. Monadnock, the Blue Hills, and beautiful fall foliage if you go now. The following pictures and captions will help you along. The white-blazed trail, which will lead you up to Tipling Rock, isn't always as apparent as a hiker might like, plus there are many trails that branch off from it, which can become confusing. So follow along with me, and you won't get lost and end up in a neighborhood, having to depend on the kindness of a stranger to drive you and your exhausted young ones, who cannot take one more step, back to the parking lot. That once happened to a family I — ahem — know.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Rock Island County; the Hon.
JOHN DONALD O'SHEA and the Hon. CONWAY L. SPANTON, Judges,
The plaintiff taxpayers filed a suit in the circuit court of Rock Island County challenging the right of South Moline Township to pay lump sum expenses to certain officials of South Moline Township. The case was heard on a stipulation of facts in a non-jury trial. The trial court found the allowance to be unconstitutional, and the individual defendants were ordered to make reimbursement for allowances received in excess of actual expenditures, and this appeal ensued.
The scenario of events which must be considered by this court are set forth in the stipulation of facts, the pertinent part of which provides as follows:
"3. Defendants are the South Moline Township Board of Trustees and its Supervisor, Clerk and Road Commissioner.
4. On March 1, 1977, the South Moline Township Board of Trustees, at a regularly called board meeting, set salary and expense allowances to become effective upon the election of the next board. The pertinent salary and expense allowances were set as follows: Supervisor was to receive $12,500.00 a year and $1,000.00 as District Road Treasurer a year salary and an expense account of $200.00 per month; the Clerk was to receive $4,200.00 a year salary and an expense account of $80.00 per month; the Road Commissioner was to receive $13,000.00 a year salary and an expense account of $100.00 per month.
5. Elections for a new Township Board and Officers were held on April 5, 1977.
6. The new board and officers were sworn in on April 25, 1977.
7. The newly elected officers were: Supervisor, Larry Burns; Clerk, Virginia Ryan; and Road Commissioner, Lester Vande Heyden, who was succeeded upon retirement by John Bernard on April 18, 1978.
8. On April 11, 1978, at the South Moline Township Town Meeting, a motion was made and carried that all travel expenses be itemized and reimbursed at the rate of $.17 per mile.
9. On April 18, 1978, at the regularly called meeting of the South Moline Township Board, a motion was made and passed that said expenses be turned in every two weeks with payment of expenses once a month.
10. On October 16, 1979, at the regularly called meeting of the South Moline Township Board, a motion was made and carried that the lump sum allowances be reinstated for Supervisor, Town Clerk, Assessor and the Road Commissioner."
We deem the pleadings filed in this case to be significant in that the amended complaint of the plaintiff, the answer filed in the same and an undenied affirmative defense all proceeded and were predicated upon the assumption that the so-called expense allowances were to be paid and in fact were paid regardless of whether or not expenses were actually incurred. The affirmative defense recited that the additional money received by the township officials was "intended * * * to be an increase in compensation." The amended complaint stated that the "flat rate" expense accounts amounted to a raising of salaries. The pleadings clearly establish that the township board's resolution of March 1, 1977, was intended to increase the compensation of the township officers. The trial court in its memorandum opinion found that the additional money awarded to the town officers and entitled "lump sum expense allowances" were in fact an increase in compensation.
Agreeing with the parties in this case and the trial court we are presented with the narrow issue as to whether the raise in compensation provided for on March 1, 1977, by the township board of trustees is violative of our State Constitution of 1970.
In addressing the issue we first note that on or before the last Tuesday of March immediately preceding the election of township officers, the board of town auditors shall establish the compensation to be paid each township officer elected at the forthcoming election. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 139, par. 126.7.) Our township code provides that the term "town auditors" means and refers to "board of township trustees." (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 139, par. 117.) Though not presented as an issue, these statutory provisions clearly establish that if action is taken in a timely manner the "board of township trustees" is empowered to establish the compensation to be paid to each township officer.
Our State Constitution of 1970, in regard to salaries of elected officers, provides:
"An increase or decrease in the salary of an elected officer of any unit of local government shall not take effect during the term for which that officer is elected." Ill. Const. 1970, art. VII, sec. 9(b).
Both the statutory and constitutional provisions regarding an increase in compensation were complied with by the "board of township trustees" as to the action taken on March 1, 1977. The action was taken prior to the last Tuesday of March preceding the election of township officers which was held on April 5, 1977, and prior to their installation on April 25, 1977. Regardless of the terminology used, the increased compensation to be received by the township officers constituted "a raising of the salaries" of the elected officials. This in fact was asserted by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The defendants affirmatively pleaded that an increase in compensation was the board's intention, and this pleading was not denied. The plaintiffs classified the board's action as increased salaries and adhered to that position. We agree, but in doing so find that there was no constitutional violation as determined by the trial court.
The trial court held that the attempt to increase compensation under the guise of calling it expenses was an unconstitutional legislative act. In a memorandum opinion the trial judge cites the constitutional provision which provides that neither an increase or decrease in the salary of an elected officer shall take effect during the term for which the officer is elected. (Ill. Const. 1970, art. VII, sec. 9(b).) A reading of the memorandum opinion fails to disclose the trial court's reasoning which compelled his conclusion that a violation had occurred. Surmising that the court was concerned with the abolition of the lump sum allowances in April 1978, and the reinstatement of the same by the board on October 16, 1979, we still fail to find that such actions supported a conclusion that a constitutional violation had occurred. The constitutional provision allegedly violated prevents not only an increase in salaries during an officer's term of office but also prohibits a decrease. The abolition of the lump sum allowances was void and of no effect. The same did not require the board's action reinstating the same on October 16, 1979. The "absolutely void" doctrine was applicable, and the April 1978 efforts to reduce the compensation in question were null and void. (See Dalton v. City of Moline (1977), 48 Ill. App.3d 494, 359 N.E.2d 500; People ex rel. Northrup v. City of Chicago (1941), 308 Ill. App. 284, 31 N.E.2d 337.) The latter cited case was decided pursuant to the provisions of our State constitution of 1870 which prohibited an increase or decrease in fees, salary or compensation of a municipal officer during that officer's term of office. Ill. Const. 1870, art. IX, sec. 11.
Lastly, the trial court relied heavily on the case of Cullom v. Dolloff (1880), 94 Ill. 330, in determining that the March 1, 1977, resolution only permitted the township officers to be reimbursed for expenses actually incurred. We believe this reliance to be misplaced since the case involved the salary of a county officer who prior to his term of office had his salary established by the county board with the additional grant of $4,500 for necessary clerk hire. Our supreme court concluded that the word "necessary" limited the amounts which could be paid to the county officer to the amounts which were actually expended for clerk hire. The defendants in the instant case argue that because the word "necessary" is absent in the March 1, 1977, resolution, the Cullom case is inapplicable and with this argument we agree.
For the reasons set forth the judgment of the circuit court of Rock Island County is reversed.
ALLOY, J., concurs.
JUSTICE HEIPLE, dissenting:
This is a taxpayer's suit. Plaintiffs, Illinois citizens of Rock Island County, challenge the authority of the South Moline Township Board, the defendant, to pay its government officers lump-sum expense allowances regardless of the amount of actual expenditures incurred in connection with their official duties. A constitutional question is involved. My colleagues validate the board's power to make such remittances, thereby reversing the trial court. I dissent.
On March 1, 1977, the board determined the following salaries and expense accounts for each of its officers:
Position Salary Expense Account
1. Supervisor $12,500 per year $200 per month and Road Treasurer 1,000 per year
2. Clerk 4,200 per year 80 per month
3. Road Commissioner 13,000 per year 100 per month
Elections were held on April 5, 1977. The new officers were sworn in on April 25, 1977. A year later the board passed two resolutions. The first required its officers to itemize their automobile expenses at $.17 per mile. The second motion authorized payment of such expenses monthly with itemizations to be submitted every two weeks. On October 16, 1979, the lump-sum allowances, without itemization for actual expenses, were reinstated by board resolution.
Plaintiffs contend the payment of lump-sum or flat-rate expenses without an accounting violates the Illinois Constitution of 1970 (Ill. Const. 1970, art. VII, sec. 9(b), which says: "An increase or decrease in the salary of an elected officer of any unit of local government shall not take effect during the term for which that officer is elected." The trial judge concluded the board was merely increasing its officers salaries by means of unaudited expense accounts, thereby violating such provision. The officers were ordered to reimburse the township for those amounts not actually incurred for expenses but allocated by the board to such accounts.
My colleagues conclude the March 1, 1977, board resolution authorizing lump-sum expense accounts was constitutional since the Board intended the accounts to serve as compensation. And, since the allotments for such "compensation" were made prior to their election, no constitutional violation occurred. This reasoning ignores basic business accounting principles, as well as Illinois common law.
An expense is an outlay or disbursement for costs incurred in connection with an employee's trade or business. It is actually incurred when the employee is indebted for its cost from his own individual funds. An expense is not actually incurred unless money is paid by, or credit is extended to, the debtor. A salary, on the other hand, is a fixed amount payable at specified intervals for personal services rendered. An account for expenses is not a salary. Nor is the opposite true. They are separate accounts on any business ledger. If an employee need not account for his expenses, that amount of money allocated to his expenses is nothing more than additional remuneration for his personal services. Otherwise, it is a gift. To conclude differently is merely artifice. The board's March 1, 1977, resolution fixed the officers' salaries and their individual expense accounts. These are separate, identifiable accounts. The resolution says, or intimates, nothing whereby such accounts are to be deemed interchangeable. Nor should we infer such a result as defendant insists we should. To say both accounts are to be deemed compensation reads into the board's resolution something which is not there.
This constitutional proviso does not directly address the salaries or expenses of local government officials. Its concern is the compensation of such an officer. The compensation of such a township officer may or may not include the expenses of his office. (See Jennings v. Fayette County (1881), 97 Ill. 419, 422.) Accordingly, a township board may fix one of its officials' compensation so it will include the expenses of his office as well as the personal services of the officer. (E.g., Kilgore v. People (1875), 76 Ill. 548.) The constitution only prohibits compensation from being increased or diminished during the official's term of office. Expenses may be changed from time to time by a county or township board since the necessities of the official's office rarely remain constant. Briscoe v. Clark County (1880), 95 Ill. 309, 311-12.
But none of these cases stand for the proposition that expenses which are not actually incurred by a local government officer can be paid as a salary, where no board resolution allowing this exists. Such are not expenses at all. Our Illinois Supreme Court so indicated 80 years ago:
"If the compensation, including the expenses, is fixed at one sum, the officer is entitled to retain that amount, if it is paid by the fees of his office. If it is fixed in separate sums — one sum for the compensation of the officer and another sum for the expenses — the officer can only retain out of the fees collected a sufficient sum to reimburse him for moneys actually paid out for reasonable and necessary expenses of his office. He may retain the whole compensation, but cannot retain what is either unnecessary for expenses or what is not actually paid out for services rendered." (Coles County v. Messer (1901), 195 Ill. 540, 545.)
The board could not pay out sums to township officials for expenses not actually incurred. But it did. When it did, it increased the compensation of each officer above the amount of his or her previously determined salary. The board had no authority to subsidize its officers' salaries in such a fashion. Thus, it ran afoul of the constitutional proscription. Those moneys for expenses not actually incurred merely increased each officer's salary and therein his compensation. If expenses were not actually incurred they should have been returned to the township's treasury. They could not be paid as salaries without increasing each official's salary. Therefore, those amounts which were paid for expenses not incurred by Board officers after they took office must be accounted for and remitted to the township treasury.
For the reasons stated, I would affirm the trial court.

Credit Suisse raises $5bn from US debt offering
Credit Suisse on Thursday launched a $5bn debt issue, offering three-year and five-year bonds to yield 60 and 80 basis points more than benchmark US Treasurys, for yields of 1.385% and 2.344%, respectively.
The Swiss lender also offered a three-year floating rate portion to yield 49 basis points more than the three-month London interbank offered rate, saying it would use proceeds from the sale for general corporate purposes.
Credit Suisse is understood to have received $10bn in orders for the debt, which marked its first long-term, senior debt offering in the US since January 2011.

"Open top bus trip- Southern Malta" Top 5 Page for this destination Hop-on Bus - Open Top Bus Tip by slothtraveller
Hop-on Bus - Open Top Bus, Sliema: 2 reviews and 8 photos
Head down to the Sliema Ferries terminus on the Strand and jump on a 'hop-on hop-off' open top bus tour of the South of the island which both starts and ends in Sliema.
Tickets can be bought before boarding at the small kiosk marked 'Maltasightseeing'. Then just get on the RED bus and relax. The best views are from the upper deck of course.
The tour takes around two hours and costs 15 Euro per adult but it is definitely worth the money and time. There is audio commentary throughout the tour and the driver will provide you with earphones so you can understand more about the history and tradition of the areas you pass through. Commentary is available in eight languages: Maltese, English, German, French, Danish, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.
The highlight of the tour is the fishing village of Marsaxlokk where a great little market takes place and seafood can be enjoyed at the harbourside. You also enjoy excellent views of the Grand Harbour in Valletta from the tourbus. The beauty of this trip is that you can hop off the bus wherever you like and rejoin a following service, just make sure you keep hold of your ticket!
About 7 buses operate a day during weekdays and Saturdays with about 4 in operation on Sundays. There is a gap of an hour between each. Don't miss the last one! Also be aware that some of the places you visit may be closed on Sundays. It's best to check before you get off.

kareng replied to VickiF's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsBeing " allergic" to " gluten" doesn't mean much. Like gluten-free said, it's a term for many different proteins, many not at all similar. A bit like telling you you are allergic to "meat". Very meat? Beef? Fish? Chicken? I am am glad you are seeing a doctor. He or she will not care much about those other " tests". Keep eating gluten like the previous posters have said and make sure to discuss with the MD about having several samples taken and looked at for Celiac. Ask for the Celiac blood test, too.

March 10, 1969
BORIS SHALMAN ET AL., RESPONDENTS,v.BOARD OF EDUCATION OF CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 OF THE TOWNS OF THOMPSON, BETHEL, FORESTBURG, MAMAKATING AND FALLSBURGH, DEFENDANT AND THIRD-PARTY PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT-RESPONDENT. READER-GREEN CONSTRUCTION CORP. ET AL., THIRD-PARTY DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS
Appeals by defendant and third-party plaintiff from so much of an order of the Supreme Court at Special Term (William Deckelman, J.), entered June 18, 1968 in Sullivan County as (1) conditionally denied its motion to dismiss the amended complaint and (2) granted leave to serve a further amended complaint; and appeal by third-party defendants from so much of said order as (3) denied their motion to dismiss the amended complaint and the third-party complaint.
Gibson, P. J. Herlihy, Reynolds, Cooke and Greenblott, JJ., concur.
Appeals are taken by defendant and third-party plaintiff and by third-party defendants from an order of the Supreme Court at Special Term which, among other things, (1) conditionally denied defendant's motion to dismiss the amended complaint (a) as barred by plaintiffs' failure to file timely notices of claim under section 3813 of the Education Law and (b) as insufficient, for failure to allege compliance with the provisions of said section 3813, and (2) granted leave to plaintiffs to serve a further amended complaint alleging compliance with said section 3813, the denial of the motion being conditioned on such service.
Plaintiffs, as joint venturers, contracted with defendant Board of Education to perform certain electrical installation work in connection with the construction of certain school buildings, for which third-party defendant Reader-Green was the general construction contractor and third-party defendant Insurance Company of North America was the latter's surety. Each contract fixed the completion date of September 1, 1966. Plaintiffs sue for additional costs and expenses incurred by them by reason of delays which they attribute to Reader-Green's failure to complete its work and to the Board of Education's failure to insure Reader-Green's completion. The motion papers assert that as a result of Reader-Green's delays the project was but 50% completed on the stipulated completion date of September 1, 1966 and that the Board of Education terminated the Reader-Green contract on October 8, 1966.
The amended complaint alleges the filing of claims by plaintiffs on January 23, 1967 and April 7, 1967 and further and conclusorily alleges that each was so filed "as required by section 3813 of the Education Law". Appellants contend that, to comply with the requirement that a verified claim be "presented to the governing body of [the] district within three months after the accrual of such claim" (Education Law, § 3813, subd. 1), notice of claim should have been filed within three months after September 1, 1966, the completion date fixed by the contracts. There was proof on the motion, however, that plaintiffs continued the work on their contract after September 1, 1966 and that their claim is, in essence, for extra costs incurred after that date and for which, incidentally, plaintiffs filed with the board, at certain times thereafter, statements of account and requisitions for payment, allegedly in accordance with contract billing procedures.
Movants failed to produce proof adequate to warrant the summary disposition sought. Indeed, the contract itself is not before us and its intendment and effect must be determined upon a trial. If, as contended by respondents, it was an entire contract and not a divisible one, the Statute of Limitations would not begin to run until final performance. (Martin v. Camp, 219 N. Y. 170, mot. for rearg. den. 219 N. Y. 627, 221 N. Y. 631; Ga Nun v. Palmer, 202 N. Y. 483; 2 Carmody-Wait 2d, New York Practice, § 13:158; 6 Williston, Contracts [Rev. ed.], § 2028.) Generally, building construction contracts are not rendered divisible because of a provision for progress payments. (10 N. Y. Jur., Contracts, § 260; accord, New Era Homes Corp. v. Forster, 299 N. Y. 303; Andrews v. Durant, 11 N. Y. 35; Restatement, Contracts, § 266, illustration 4.) At the same time the intention of the parties is a primary factor to be considered in determining whether a building or construction contract is entire or divisible. (New Era Homes Corp. v. Forster, supra ; 10 N. Y. Jur., op. cit., § 260; Ann. 22 ALR 2d 1343, Building Contract.)
An additional, and cogent, argument relating to the "accrual of such claim", in the terms of subdivision 1 of section 3813, would render appellants' contentions unavailable even if it be assumed that the cause of action for delay arose on September 1, 1966; the cases distinguishing between accrual of a cause of action and accrual of a claim. Thus, in Terrace Hotel Co. v. State of New York (19 A.D.2d 434) this court quoted with approval a holding of the Fourth Department in Waterman v. State of New York (19 A.D.2d 264, 266, affd. 14 N.Y.2d 793, 17 N.Y.2d 613) to the effect that a claim accrues when it matures and that the words "claim accrued" have the same meaning as "damages accrued". We further stated: "We think it is proper to apply the principle laid down in the Court of Claims cases that, in the case of continuing injury, the extent of which is not presently ascertainable, the claim is not deemed to have accrued until the extent of the damages can be ascertained". (19 A.D.2d 434, 436; and see Edlux Constr. Corp. v. State of New York, 252 App. Div. 373, 374, affd. 277 N. Y. 635; Dufel v. State of New York, 198 App. Div. 97, 102; 34 Am. Jur., Limitation of Actions, § 142.) Under either theory, if substantiated by proof, the contractor was not obliged to abandon the contract and sue for damages for a final breach, but could complete his work and sue for the damages thereby resulting and thus established. (10 Encyclopedia New York Law, Damages, § 565.)
Similarly, the effect of the exculpatory clause upon which appellants rely as an additional bar to recovery, providing that: "The Owner shall not be responsible for any delays whatsoever that may be occasioned by a Contractor's failure to meet the time schedule decided upon", must be determined upon a trial. A duty is imposed upon the employer not to interfere with the prosecution of the work of his contractor, and he impliedly agrees that the contractor will not be unreasonably delayed by the failure of other contractors to perform work which is essential to the performance of the work in question. (Sundstrom v. State of New York, 213 N. Y. 68; 10 Encyclopedia New York Law, op. cit., § 565.) For a breach of that duty the contractor may recover his resulting damages. (10 Encyclopedia New York Law, op. cit., § 565.) Whether or not the supposed exculpatory clause reaches the present situation is open to doubt. But, in any event, such clauses are strictly construed against the person seeking exemption from liability. (Ippolito-Lutz, Inc. v. Cohoes Housing Auth., 22 A.D.2d 990; Brady & Co. v. Board of Educ. of School Dist. of City of N. Y., 222 App. Div. 504.) As has been indicated, the effect of the clause must depend upon the facts as developed at the trial. (Matter of Chuckrow Constr. Co. [ Horowitz Bros.], 30 A.D.2d 789; Ippolito-Lutz, Inc. v. Cohoes Housing Auth., supra.)
The order should be affirmed, with one bill of costs to respondents.

How cell phones got their names
Lets start with Taiwanese company called Acer. Its name comes from Latin and means "sharp, vigilant, agile", you may agree that this is pretty worthy name. But there is another variant of translation - "maple".
The meaning of the famous brand Apple is obviously an apple, as a fruit. Everyone may guess it regardless of knowing English or not, just look at the company's logo. But there are different stories of the name's origins. The first one states that the company founders were not able to think out the name for their business, and then emphatic Steve Jobs delivered an ultimatum - "I will name the company 'Apple' if you not come up with anything else till 5 o'clock". The other story says that Steve Jobs offered such a name because Apple's phone number would appear before Atari's in phone book. And the last version says that Apple was the first company that decided to recycle old component parts for the new ones, without throwing anything away. In that case produced computers would be considered as ecologically clean.
The next company - ASUS was founded in Taiwan islands by four former engineers. The company's name comes from English "pegasus" (winged horse in Greek mythology), but for having a top position in alphabetical order it was decided to take the first three letters off and it came out as ASUS. The other version of its name origin says that ASUS in Chinese language means "Big China" or "big nation of China". But there is also a third story, and it gives one more version of translation - "AS US" what obviously means 'as us' (lets be with us). Chinese people are lucky - translate as you wish, not a lot of people would doubt Chinese language.
And one more Taiwanese company - BenQ. This is a short version, the full one is 'Bringing Enjoyment and Quality to life'.
Ericsson got their name pretty simple, it goes for their founder - Lars Magnus Ericsson.
Everybody who speaks English or learned it at school probably laughed when the first time heard trade mark name of the British company Meridian Group - Fly. The name surely comes to the head more as a 'fly' - an insect, but not as the matter of 'flying'. Somebody was very imaginative to name the phone "Fly", or just had a good sense of humor.
LG — the name of this Korean brand formed out of two known in the past brands - Lucky and GoldStar. There are also some websites that offering alternative version of these abbreviations - 'Life is Good'.
Earlier this company was manufacturing radio-recorders for the cars, and then started to produce mobile phones. American company Motorola got its name from combination of two words - 'motor' and a suffix '-ola', where the second one was pretty popular back in the day and was used in the names of some technology products, like Victrola.
MTS — the name of this Russian manufacturer and also a mobile network provider formed out of Mobile TeleSystem.
Nokia started its history in Finnish town called Nokia, which was named after Nokianvirta, the river the town was build on.
With Siemens everything is pretty much simple, the name comes from its German founder - Werner von Siemens.
Qtek - this brand name was specially created by HTC company for the promotion of their products on the market under their own title. The name probably comes from 'quality technologies'.
March 1st of 1938, Lee Byung-chul from Korea, founded his company called Samsung. So many things were engaged in the processes of Samsung company back in the time - textile factory, sugar-refinery, insurance business. And only after Korean war, Samsung took a course into electronics. The name of the company translates from Korean language as 'three stars' and probably denotes three sons that the founder had.
Philips - the company owned by Dutch Royal Philips Electronics. The brand's name Philips comes from the name of the founder - Frederick Philips.
Sony — the name of this Japanese manufacturer comes from Latin word "sonus" - that means 'sound' and from the word «sonny», that means 'gilded guy' (like from the gilded youth).
So we learned how the names of world's brands and mobile manufacturers occurred. Now we offer you a couple of mobile brand names with pretty amusing meanings or translations. Probably everybody knows the series of flashy smartphones - BlackBerry Bold. The name talks for itself as without a doubt, means a solid and bold price of this phone.
One more yummy mobile phone name from LG company, back in 2010 - Cookie. Despite its amusing name, in some other countries it was for some reason changed to tasteless 'KP500'.
Lumia - widely known range of smartphones, created by Finnish company Nokia and translates as 'snow'. But for some reason it is not coinciding with its bright and colored phone housing. Finnish people probably have their own idea what the snow is and how it looks like. As we may see, every company at any cost, tries to emphasize their product among the huge number of devices existing on the world's market. Somebody got it right, somebody not. But despite everything, today we have companies and corporations, that confidently and step-by-step take the humanity by the path of technical progress and their names simply inspiring.
All-Spares Online Store, wishes you that your smartphone would be the same unique and we will always supply you with the needed spares for them.

Culture Shock
Miniature in Madrid
By Sam Adams
Sometimes when you think big, you have to think small. No, that's not a quote from Yogi Berra. It's the formula gallerist Cassidy Watt employed to curate In Microscale, a show of 150-odd pieces from about 45 artists, now in its second annual iteration at Metallo Gallery in Madrid. The criteria: create pieces of art that, if 2D, have a surface area of no more than 36 square inches. "I didn't want to tie the artists' hands behind their backs. You could do a 1-by-36 if you wanted to," he says. If the work is 3D, well, just keep it small.
