Can you enjoy summer and still keep your professional momentum going? We break down summer job networking. [TWEET]
No matter where you live, summer is a time to look forward to fun in the sun. Ball games, outdoor concerts, and friendly happy hours are just the tip of the sunny season iceberg. Maybe it's the precedent set by our days in school, but summer just feels like a time to let loose and relax a bit, even if you still have to go to work.
However, when it comes to networking, you don't want to take the summer off. It's always a good idea to keep building new relationships that can help you and your career grow. The good news? Just like everything else during the summer, networking can be a little more fun, too.
Here are seven ideas on how to network while making the most of the summer and enjoying the sunny weather as well.
Okay, goal setting may not be a lot of fun, but it will help you lay the groundwork for your summer so you can relax and just follow the plan. Only set job networking goals that you can control. For example, the number of events or personal lunches you'll attend. However, if you bank on landing X-number of interviews or something you don't fully control, you could be setting yourself up for failure despite your best efforts. How about attending one new networking event in a fun location each month? Your goals don't have to be life changing, but the results just could be.
Sunny job networking tip: Look over your resume. Then look at the Linkedin page of someone you admire or someone who's in a position you'd like to reach. What's missing from your resume that they have? How can you use networking to fill those gaps? It may be as simple as setting a goal of learning three new software programs.
Don't know where to start? Head to Meetup.com and search for groups in your area. It's an easy way to meet like-minded people. You can try to find people that have interests in the same industry as you or discover a group that focuses on something you would like to learn more about. Localized networking sites like Meetup.com make it easy to find groups of people who live close to you and share common interests.
Sunny job networking tip: Think outside the box. The group you find doesn't have to be professionally based. It could be people with similar hobbies or backgrounds. Meeting new people is the key.
Summertime is a prime time for outdoor charity events. If you think charity events are strictly black jacket and shameless plugs for money, you need to get out to more of them, and soon. Today's charity event organizers know that if they want people to come out to their events, they need to make them fun and interesting. That can mean ballgames, bands, and other fun things. Instead of begging from you, a lot of events have silent auctions where you can get fun things like trips, gift certificates, and more for a bid that's significantly less than the value. Many charity events aren't afraid to have a bar present, either.
Sunny job networking tip: Get a group of friends together and attend an event that sponsors a charity that means something to you. You'll have a good time, help a great cause, and have the opportunity to meet others who are like-minded.
Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like fun, does it? If you do it right, being a part of a committee for a summertime event can be rewarding and maybe even a little bit fun. Is your employer having a family picnic? Does your company do any charity events like a 5K Run/Walk? Maybe it's outside of work and you help out with your kids' summer sports or a church group event.
There are endless opportunities to help out different groups during the summer and a lot of them are doing something kind of cool. It's a simple way to meet other people and work with them closely. You could make some great contacts this way. Sign yourself up for something that looks good professionally. Even if you don't make new business contacts, you've added a little more fodder for your resume.
Sunny job networking tip: If you think you'll hate it, don't do it. It's better to avoid helping out than to commit to helping and then bailing out. Find an event that you'll enjoy being a part of and you should be fine.
Let's say you've made some great contacts over the past few months. You've stayed in touch on Linkedin and such, but now it's time to boost that relationship. Does your contact like sports? Grab a couple of tickets to a baseball or hockey game (baseball is great because the pace of the game allows for easy conversation). Or, do the same thing with a concert. If you know that your contact is a big Jimmy Buffett fan and he's coming to town, why not give it a shot? They'll appreciate the gesture and you may just get to see your new friend with their professional guard down in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
Sunny job networking tip: Be thoughtful about your attire. If you like to rock out at a concert in a swanky little dress or hit the ballgame in face paint and a jersey, think differently for this one. Enjoy the event, but put your focus on the contact and be casually professional.
There's a new place in town serving amazing lunches with a spectacular view and you'd like to go. But, no one has asked and you usually don't spend that much on lunch. No problem. Reach out to a networking contact and see if they'd want to try it with you. Chances are you'll be one neutral turf, since they probably haven't tried it either, and you'll have just the excuse you were looking for to try out that new spot. Food is always a good icebreaker. Who doesn't love talking about their favorite dishes?
Sunny job networking tip: Since you issued the invite, be prepared to pick up the check. It's a small price to pay for a good contact.
Happy hours exist all year round, but there's something a little different about that post-work cocktail during the summer months. If you find the right place with fun drinks, a little music, and an outdoor setting, the summer happy hour is just a little happier than other happy hours. It's okay to take advantage of this and invite a contact out for happy hour. This is especially true if they work at the same company as you or you met them at a happy hour networking event. Keep it friendly and casual and with a group.
It goes without saying that if you want to impress, you shouldn't have more than one or two drinks.
Sunny job networking tip: Don't jump in on business talk right away. It's time to relax and chit chat about whatever you want. If your contact leads the conversation that direction, then go with it.
Networking to keep your career headed in the right direction shouldn't take summers off. Figuring out how to network in the summer doesn't mean you have to book your summer full of tedious networking mixers that make your inner introvert scream. Let your hair down, relax and find some fun ways to keep meeting people and boosting your career. Take this time to meet a few new people or grow the relationships you've already started. Best of all, you can still be outdoors doing the things you love.
Let TopResume help you write the next chapter of your career. Here's how.

Doesn't it sometimes seem that you were meant to live in a different age? That the world has turned and somehow, you didn't get the memo?I ran across an article on "The Poetry of Faith" which appeared in Time Magazine. Published on July 1, 1946, it offered a thumbs-up review of a new anthology of Catholic poetry by the British poet Alfred Noyes.

He was considered the leading Catholic poet and lecturer of his generation, and was compared to G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc.

Employees of IT and ITES industry have become primary targets of almost everyone involved in selling a service or goods. Because of notion that these people earn more, everyone takes for granted that they can pay more.
First to loot me was my college, which insisted that I must pay Rs.1000 before collecting my final year hall ticket because I got placed through my college. Then it was the turn of police officer, who wanted additional reward for speedy processing of my passport.
Then I shifted my base to Hyderabad, where my company is headquartered and where Satyam employees are treated as "millionaires to be" by everyone. Though we could remove our ID card to protect our identity, ironed shirts and polished shoes were more than enough for auto-wallas and others to guess our profession. Hyderabad autos were metered but they were not bound to follow that during early morning and late evenings, when we'd be on streets due to odd timings of our training. The only person who couldn't over charge us was the conductor of State Road Transportation buses, who had to issue a ticket and the prices were fixed.
Chennai was still horrible. In Hyderabad, autos were metered and we could speak with them in Hindi, if we can't speak Telugu. Chennai autos have no comparison in the way they loot their passengers. They decide price seeing your face and other factors like are you getting late for office or is it raining, than considering distance to be covered. A 6 km journey shouldn't cost more than 50 Rs, but Chennai autos cost more than two and a half times that.
Next to rob me was the overpriced food court in Tidel Park (a building hosting a number of IT companies including the one I work for).
Last but not the least our companies loot us in a different way. Predominantly its our health and partially our personal and social life.
10 to 12 hours in front of computer a day, day after day will have a severe impact on health if not compensated with nutritious food and adequate exercise. Though the onus is on us to keep ourselves fit, we often ignore our health either due to laziness or in an attempt to climb higher up in corporate ladder. The high pay package can never bring back the lost health. Though I don't want to blame companies fully on this what I wish to point out is that companies are not giving even 10% of emphasis on personal well being of its worker compared to the importance given to deliverables, deadlines and customer satisfaction.

Are you serious?! A college does that because someone got a job through campus recruitment?!! Shame on them.
BTW, thanks for mentioning Majavani and Noorentu Sullu.
I hope to read more of your posts.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Softheon Inc., a leader in Health Care Reform Exchange solutions, announced today that they have released an updated cloud-based Qualified Health Plan (QHP) Certification solution as part of their Exchange Connector Plan Management platform. Softheon is getting Health Plans prepared for PPACA and helping them to connect with both Federally Facilitated Exchanges (FFE) and State-based Exchanges (SBE). Within Softheon's Plan Management solution, its QHP module supports interfaces between the health plan and the exchanges it operates in. Whether integrating with HIOS, SERFF, or any other communication protocol, Softheon ultimately provides a single interaction point for health plans during the certification, re-certification, decertification, appeals, and ongoing compliance monitoring processes. The Softheon Exchange Connector (SEC) Plan Management solution has assisted several major health plans with some of the early PPACA mandates, including a real–time Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) solution. Softheon generates an XML-based SBC repository containing relevant plan and rate information in order to produce uniform descriptions of coverage, including cost sharing, for each category of benefits identified. The SBC solution's composite web services are then able to support real-time plan data aggregation and dissemination between member and broker portals, enrollment and core administrative systems. Along with their QHP and SBC solutions, Softheon's Exchange Connector™ platform also includes:

Chpt. One- And So It BeginsMature
Darkness surrounded me. I ran down the seemingly endless hallway. I gathered something was chasing me, so I tried to run faster. But it was too late as I felt a hand on my shoulder and then something whacked my stomach.
I woke up dazed, with my stomach throbbing. I looked up to see that Lexi had thrown a mop and bucket on me.
"Good morning to you too," I muttered.
"Get up you filthy girl, I want the housed mopped before I wake up again." She told me.
I looked over at my alarm clock to see that it was just 5:30 in the morning. Of course she would do this on the first day of summer. I got up and started my chores, heaven forbid the floor in the barely used dining room isn't cleaned to perfection.
The only good thing about summer was that I didn't have to do Stacey's homework for her. Everyone in this family uses me for whatever they find convenient. I cook, I clean, I do three times the homework I should, I do our taxes. I'm a jack of all trades, yippee.
I pass by a mirror in the bathroom and see just how sick I look. My face is pale, my long dark hair drowning out any color. There are huge bags under my eyes. My eyes, the trademark of our family, still shine with hope. I look sickly skinny. And my frumpy clothes aren't helping.
"Move, bitch," Stacey says as she marches into the bathroom.
I scurry out before any harm is done. I glance at the clock and notice it's later than I thought. Lexi trots down from upstairs. Looks like the devil finally woke up again.
"I need you out of sight, Stacey's friends are coming over." She says to me.
I nod and go to my small room and lay down on my old bed. They, being Michael and Lexi, literally got this bed on the side of the road because someone was about to throw it out. There's several springs sticking out but I suppose it's better that the wooden floor.
I hear the door ring and only wish that I had friends, only wish that I could be normal. Why do I put up with this? I always wonder that but I know the answer. I don't have anywhere else to go. I drift to sleep, seeing as the four hours I got was inadequate.
I wake up from the boisterous sound of my stomach growling, sadly this isn't the first time it has happened. I decide to risk the consequences and swiftly make my way to the kitchen. Unfortunately, I forgot the warning about Stacey's friends.
"Go away you little bitch!" Lexi screeched at me. "I told you not to come down here, you piece of shit, can't even listen to directions!"
"I'm sorry," I whispered.
"You damn well better be, thinking you can come into my kitchen when I told you not to."
By now all the girls had fled to the living room and were laughing at me and the abuse I was going through. Before I can register what's going on I feel a hand slap across my face. It stings but I've grown used to this pain. I go back to my room before she can do anything else.
I lock the door and get ready to go out to work. The library is such a great place to go to, the quiet and serenity just engulfs you. And my friend, kind of, also works there so he makes Susanville a little more bearable.
After grabbing my backpack, I go downstairs so ready to make my escape. Just my luck, Mikey comes out of his room and pushes me down the stairs.
I land at the bottom of the landing in a heap and when I get the courage to look up I see a very pissed off Lexi.
"You good-for-nothing fucker! I told you to stay the hell away from me, you disgust me. Every damn day that I have to look at you makes me sick. And you can't even listen to a simple direction." She practically screams at me.
She walks away and I think it's safe to leave but quick as a whip I hear a smack as pain shoots up my back. I fall to the ground once again landing on my wrist painfully. Everything, everywhere hurts. I turn around and she strikes me again with the frying pan. As she hits me across the face blood pours out my nose.
Damn, just what I need, a broken nose.
She throws the pan at me one more time, for good measure as I run out the house. I keep on running, and sincerely hope she won't come after me. It's very unlike her to make a scene because in this small town everyone knows everything, except for my situation.
I run halfway to the library until I collapse out of exhaustion. Running low on sleep and food, and being injured is never a good thing. My breath comes in short pants and it hurts just to breathe through my nose. My wrist is swelling and I think I twisted my ankle from being pushed down the stairs. I feel the pain vibrating through my back. A frying pan? Really, who thinks to throw a frying pan at their step-daughter?
I slowly make my way to the library. Finally welcomed by the scent of paper and old books I scurry to the bathroom but unfourtantly, Max sees me.
"Hey Christina, whoa oh my god Chrissy, what happened?" he quickly says after he sees by blood stained face.
"Nothing, can I just go to the bathroom?" I plea with him.
"Sure thing baby doll, you can't go to work looking like this!" he replies and picks me up and takes me into the women's bathroom.
Of course Max would do this. He's kind of flamboyant, in multiple ways if you know what I mean. After Max helps me clean up I still look like a mess. A nasty bruise begins to form on the side of my face but at least my nose stopped bleeding.
"Now darling, I need to know what happened." Max states bluntly.
I unload on him the story of my glorious morning. He already knows most of my life story except for the abusive family part. Lexi and Michael generally hit in places that can be hidden.
"There is absoletuly no way I am letting you go back to those people tonight! You are sleeping over at my house. It will be fun!" he says after reading the askance look I give him, "I can paint your nails, and you can paint mine. Then we will make cookies and watchThe Notebook. And in the morning we will go shopping and go to work and then I suppose I could return you to that retched house of yours."
I consider his plan for a moment, and accept because that sounds much more appealing than what I know I would get at home.

The Dreamers Dream
Millions of white lights flew through the air, and through buildings like falling stars. I raised my hand as one passed through it, for the first time since my supposed rebirth into the world of the living, I felt something that wasn't a direct consequence of my emotions. The ball fled past me, hurtling through other objects having no effect but a sand paper like sound. Another, quite humorously flew directly between my eyes and I turned around to see where it had gone to, when a waving shroud caught my eye. It was dark, a symbol of sin, and of confusion. I peered at it curiously as it slumped from building to building, getting closer at every bound. Suddenly I felt fear. I backed away slowly. In a glimmer of light, a sword flung from its sleeve. It shined in the light of day. The shrouds hood flung over and a skull with gaping jaws, opened. Screaming it slashed out at me, feeling its cold blade though my chest, I screamed in panic.
"Snap out of it kid."
I now peered through the familiar opening of my shroud, if I where able to breath hard, I think I would be doing so. I felt a rush through me, and stood up quickly.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you about those.". Guin turned about and walked toward the end of the alley and formed his cloak into that familiar long coat.
" Sometimes when you're in the world of the dead you fall into a kind of sleep, only the first few times though, later you'll get the hang of avoiding them. But if you do you'll notice it's always nightmares. Some Dreamers can't help it and as soon as they change planes they fall into that sleep. Eventually they go insane and become nightmares themselves, doing nothing but the violent acts that they see every time they become too feeble to withstand the sun."
He turned around and smiled.
I thought out loud, "Hopefully it's the last time it happens to me."
Guin looked at me funny. I looked down at myself and tried to reshape the shroud that covered me. With a flitter of a strange sound and a slight change of form, I sighed in failure. The word try was definitely the operative one. Guin laughed lowly at me before he shaped his clothing into many different things at once. Colors and shapes and textures; jeans, flannel, silk, leather, rubber and hundreds of different materials. "It takes a little practice, and you won't be able to do much without another piece of yourself".
I cocked my head to the side, if I had a face, I'd probably have been frowning.
"Your body is probably in a cemetery, there might be trouble getting it though, I'll have to teach you a few more things before we go".
I was thinking the same thing, about my body being in a cemetery. It was quite obvious that I was dead, and that whatever Guinehem was telling me was the truth. Finally cognitively accepting death forced a concoction of emotions to hurtle through me like a wild fire. That word made things worse, fire. It seemed so sinister, so dark, filled with seething agony. Flashes of images, light passing through me, golden tongues licking the flesh of my body, eating me alive. I knew how I had died, all the clues pointed towards it; the fact that most Dreamers come back as spirits if they die a slow death, like drowning or burning: the fact that spirits are found at the place of highestemotional suspense, or of their deaths. The fact that were I was found, was in a burnt lot where a house once stood. My head was filled with thoughts and images of that place, some that I had lived and some that seem to be from my former life, quick flashes of white walls and wooden stairways, the sounds of a woman laughing, content. The feeling of love, ripped to pieces by an unknown tragedy.

Definition of Flop
In poker, particularly in variants that use community cards, such as Texas Hold 'em and Omaha Hold 'em, the 'flop' refers to the action of dealing the first three face-up cards to the board, and it also refers to the cards themselves.
When used as a verb, the term flop has two different meanings. When the dealer flops, he or she has dealt the first three communal cards. When a player flops, he or she has made a hand out of the first three face-up cards dealt.
Typically, a dealer deals the flop cards individually face down, and then turns all three cards over as a group. The flop is part of all community poker games. Not all community games use a turn and river as Texas Hold 'em does.
The flop is one of the most crucial moments in any hand of poker. In Texas Hold 'em, the player knows 71 percent of his or her hand at the flop, and the most important decisions in the hand will take place based on that data.
Players and strategy guides often refer to the concept of pre-flop. This refers to the betting and hole cards dealt prior to the flop. Most pre-flop strategy deals with the value of hole cards and how to bet based on that value.
There are numerous theories on the origin of the term flop. Most of them center on the notion that when the dealer turns or flops the three cards over they create a distinct sound. The truth, however, is anyone's guess.
Since these face-up cards, also called community, shared and window cards, which are shared by all players, are an integral aspect of this style of poker, poker players often refer to community card poker games as 'flop games.'

This is the hard disk that i have
Its 1.5 tb, and I bought it at around June 2010.
So today I plugged in my hard disk and it worked perfectly. Then I decided to watch a movie and the movie didn't load, so I used task manager to stop the program. I don't know what happaned, BBOD just came out. Afterwards, my computer restarted and it doesn't load windows (I had still have the hard disk plugged in). So I thought something was weird and I unplugged the hard disk (usb cable) and windows started to load. ( I am currently using windows 7).
So after loading everything in Windows, I decided to plug it in to my computer again. And nothing comes out, the lights keep flashing. There are no USB manager, nothing pops up and I see nothing in My Computer.
It not just affects loading windows, it even affects shutting down windows.
I don't know how to fix this, can someone please teach me how to fix this? I want to avoid formatting as there are many important data in the hard disk.

I still wonder why they would charge 10 dollars less for a hard drive 50% larger? They may be sold out of the 1.5s now, but who knows.
I realize that any product sold has PRO and CON posts about it online. I just jope the positive posts are more correct.

Scotland will join the elite tournament instead, after the International Cricket Council and Zimbabwe Cricket on Wednesday ratified a decision initially agreed at the world governing body's annual conference in Dubai two months ago.
Contrary to reports that Zimbabwe were beginning to waver on the offer to withdraw they made back in June, they and ICC president David Morgan, vice-president Sharad Pawar and chief executive Haroon Lorgat have agreed the arrangement will stand.
The ICC averted a potential crisis when it emerged from the annual conference that Zimbabwe were prepared to forego their place at the Twenty20.
The British Government had already cancelled a bi-lateral one-day international series between England and Zimbabwe in this country, scheduled at the start of next summer, on account of the disgraced regime of Robert Mugabe which still prevails in the African country.
It was therefore highly unlikely Britain would issue visas to Zimbabwe players and officials for the World Twenty20.
A consensus appeared beyond the ICC member countries, with an Asian block vote favouring Zimbabwe - and it was therefore championed as a winning compromise when ZC agreed unilaterally to opt out.
After Wednesday's confirmation, Morgan reiterated: "We are grateful to Zimbabwe Cricket for confirming the decision taken by its officials during annual conference week.
"This allows the ICC the opportunity to plan with certainty the ICC World Twenty20 2009 - as well as giving Scotland, the side set to step up in Zimbabwe's place, plenty of preparation time ahead of the tournament."

They rarely develop in an isolated form. Sacroiliac dislocation without sacral fracture is extremely rare. We report a case with a sacroiliac dislocation without sacral fracture, which was treated surgically. Lumbopelvic stabilization was applied using iliac wing plates. The case was evaluated according to his clinical condition and visual analogue score (VAS), American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) and Oswestry scales. Considering the role of the sacrum, which transmits the load of the entire spine to the pelvis, meticulous care must be given to ensure the mechanic stability of the spine when evaluating patients with sacral and pelvic fractures. Very serious spinopelvic instability is present in sacroiliac dislocations even in the absence of sacral fractures. Caudal migration of the sacrum together with the cranial migration of the iliac wings can cause serious pelvic imbalance and difficulties in walking and maintaining a standing position.Aggressive stabilization and fusion are required, and these must be performed in the early period. Key words: Iliac plate; malgaigne fracture; sacroiliac dissociation; spinopelvic instability; spinopelvic stabilization. INTRODUCTION Unstable pelvic injuries characterized by the dissociation of the sacroiliac complex cause serious problems in the late period, including continuous pain and functional restrictions, in addition to the morbidity and mortality in the early period. [1,2] Ensuring anatomic reduction with stabilization and fusion is extremely important in sacroiliac dislocations. Since most of these injuries arise from high-energy traumas, other accompanying traumas must be investigated as well. A thorough physical examination including neurological and radiological examinations is required to determine the treatment. Studies have shown that functional outcomes are poor when sacroiliac dislocations are not reduced completely.[3] Malgaigne dislocation was described in the mid 1800s by a Address for correspondence: Sedat Dalbayrak, M.D. Sabri Taşkın Cad., No: 18/1, Pendik, İstanbul, Turkey Tel: +90 216 - 375 10 53 E-mail: [email protected] Qucik Response Code Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg 2014;20(4):300-304 doi: 10.5505/tjtes.2014.25923 Copyright 2014 TJTES 300 famous French anatomist and orthopedist. Malgaigne fracture consists of fracture of both pubic rami and posterior fracture of the sacroiliac complex. There is a vertically oriented combined fracture of the anterior and posterior pelvis. To date, many surgical techniques have been used in the fixation of the sacroiliac joint. It was not possible to ensure complete anatomic reduction with most of these techniques. Very important technical problems are encountered in the open procedures, particularly in delayed cases. Stabilization techniques involving lumbar vertebrae and iliac wings were developed over time to ensure complete anatomic reduction.[4-8] Van Savage and colleagues[2,9] were the first to use the Galveston technique for this purpose. Later, Käch and Trentz[2,10] proposed the distraction spondylodesis with L4-5 for the fixation of iliac bones. In 1998, Schildhauer et al.[2,11] reported the triangular osteosynthesis method, which included lumbopelvic distraction and transverse fixation of the sacral fracture. Abumi et al.[12] were the first investigators to use sacral pedicles and iliac wing for this purpose. They performed the fixation using Galveston technique between both pedicles of S1 and the iliac wings. When the anatomic importance of the sacrum and its role in mechanical stability as the bony ring of the pelvis are considered, giving meticulous care in the evaluation of patients with pelvic trauma is essential. Fixation with an iliac plate in Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg, July 2014, Vol. 20, No. 4 Dalbayrak et al. Surgical treatment of a Malgaigne fracture sacroiliac complex instability is a technique that has not been applied until now. This method ensures the reduction and stabilization in sacroiliac dislocations with or without sacral fractures. Further, there is the possibility of applying this stabilization method in other pathologies requiring sacroiliac fusion.[4] We report a patient with Malgaigne fracture that developed due to a fall from a height, without sacral fracture, who underwent surgery using iliac plates. The preoperative and postoperative American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) neurologic status scale, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry scales and the clinical condition of the patient were evaluated. Pre- and postoperative changes in the computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and plain X-rays were examined. The patient was treated under elective conditions under general anesthesia in the prone position with the accompaniment of biplane scopy. (a) (b) CASE REPORT A 38-year-old male experienced trauma due to a fall from a height (from a walnut tree). No fractures were present in the sacrum. There was dissociation fracture in the left iliac wing together with dissociation displacement in the sacroiliac joints bilaterally, and caudal sacral displacement together with sacroiliac dislocation (Figs. 1a, b). Linear fracture in the right acetabulum and compression fracture at T8 and T11 levels were determined. Thoracic vertebrae and left hemothorax were found as the accompanying traumatic pathologies (Fig. c). He was treated and followed with thoracic tube in the intensive care unit of the medical center to which he applied initially. He was referred to our center 45 days after the trauma. During that period, the patient underwent no operations, and was treated with medications and immobilization. Bilateral cutaneous traction was applied pre- and perioperatively. Preoperative VAS score of the case was 10 and Oswestry score was 94. Surgical Technique Paravertebral muscles were dissected with a midline approach. Both iliac wings were clearly exposed together with area between L3 and the sacrum. Bilateral transpedicular screws were placed in the L3, L4, L5, and S1 vertebrae. Bilateral iliac wing plates were placed. Pedicular and iliac wing screws were fixed by placing rods. Complete reduction could not be achieved because of the delayed surgery. The combined spinopelvic stabilization was applied using a system we designed according to the anatomy of the iliac wings, in which the system sits on the iliac wings and is fixed to the iliac wings with nuts. The systems were connected to each other using dominos (Figs. 2-4). The duration of the operation was 245 minutes, and bleeding was determined as 1950 cc. Four units of erythrocyte suspension and two units of fresh frozen plasma were used. The case was mobilized 24 hours later and was discharged (c) Figure 1.

Sacroiliac dislocation (a) without sacral fracture. The fracture line (b) in the iliac wing is seen on the left. (c) Accompanying pathologies: T8 compression fracture and right hemothorax.

Perioperative view and postoperative radiograph after one year (right) showing the lumboiliac stabilization, performed using transpedicular screws between L3 and S1, iliac plates (1), iliac screws (2), and domino fixture connecting the rods to each other (3). 301 Dalbayrak et al. Surgical treatment of a Malgaigne fracture [14,15] Serious instability can be seen in patients with sacroiliac dislocation. Therefore, absolute fixation is required. In the articles about improvement in the neurological deficits in patients who do not undergo surgery, outcomes are not satisfactory.[4,8,11,13,16-20] Our opinion also favors surgery in the early periods in these cases. Inappropriate fusion developing in surgeries in the late period makes ensuring complete anatomic reduction during the operation more difficult. Purposes of the surgical sacral fixation include stabilizing the dislocation, improving the neurological condition and reducing all the disabilities. Surgical fixation in sacroiliac dislocations ensures the stability to allow early mobilization, preserving the local neurovascular structures and reducing the pelvic pain.[2-5,20] Lumbopelvic fixation was designed to remove the effects of the instability pattern, which is frequently misunderstood. Stabilization methods include pelvic fixation, sacroiliac screws, direct sacral fixation, and lumbopelvic fixation to repair the stability of the lumbosacral joint.[2,4-7] Figure 3. Postoperative CT sections. on postoperative day 5. No complications developed. Follow-ups were performed in postoperative months 2 and 6. In postoperative month 2, VAS score was 4 and the Oswestry score was 36, while in month 6, these values were 2 and 10, respectively. The patient had difficulty in walking during the initial mobilization related with the acetabulum; however, in the 6th month follow-up, it was observed that the gait of the patient was painless and regular. In pediculoiliac fixation, reduction is done with the help of the rods between the screws, and full anatomic reduction is obtained with compression and distraction maneuvers possi- DISCUSSION Sacral fractures constitute a complex group of injuries including the interruption of the pelvic ring, nerve root damage, cauda equina syndrome, and direct or indirect damage to the spinal segments. The rate of sacroiliac dislocation together with sacral fractures is extremely high.[3] Particularly according to the Dennis classification, the incidence of sacroiliac dislocation is high in zone I fractures.[13] Pure sacroiliac dislocation without sacral fracture is extremely rare. Vertical shear fractures, known as Malgaigne fractures, are the results of high-energy trauma. Sacroiliac dislocations are pathologies occurring as a result of axial loading, and almost all occur following falls from a height onto the feet. These injuries are characterized by rupture of the entire pelvic floor, including the posterior sacroiliac complex as well as sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments. Malgaigne fracture consists of both anterior and posterior lesions: disruption of the symphysis or disruption of the inferior and superior pubic rami; disruption of all four rami; disruption of two rami plus pubic symphysis and posterior lesion; fracture of ileum; dislocation or fracture dislocation of the sacroiliac joint; or fracture of the 4th or 5th lumbar transverse process. Similar to the patient reported in this article, injuries to different regions, most frequently thoracic and lumbar vertebrae fractures and pelvic and abdominal organ injuries, accompany the sacroiliac dislocation. 302 Figure 4. Preoperative and postoperative pelvic X-ray. Partial closure of the dissociation at the pubic symphysis with compression of the iliac wings is shown. Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg, July 2014, Vol. 20, No. 4 Dalbayrak et al. Surgical treatment of a Malgaigne fracture ble in every direction; compression between the fragments is also possible. In this method, the fixation points are the sacral pedicle and the cortices of the iliac bone. Using the area between the internal and external cortices of the ilium as the fixation site has been determined as the most stable method in the biomechanical studies performed in various lumbosacral fixation methods. In addition, it has been shown that the peel resistance increases when the sacral pedicle screws are located anteriorly and bicortically.[2,21,22] On the other hand, screws are generally placed in the same direction in sacroiliac transfixation or in anterior double plate applications. In this method, however, directions of both screws are different in each plane. All these features ensure important advantages, particularly for the primary stability.[2] Use of iliac screws in lumbosacral fixation is a modification of the Galveston method. Its modular characteristic eliminates the requirement of beveling the rod, and performing the construction according to the anatomy of the area becomes easier. Furthermore, applying the Galveston rod in a short level is rather difficult, and it is not possible to prevent the piston movement of the rod within the ilium, since the rod is straight. Another advantage of using the iliac screw is that it allows compression distraction in each plane.[2,9,23,24] Use of interlocking iliac wing plates in sacroiliac dislocations has gradually increased in recent years, presenting a new tool for stabilization. This technique is a rather effective method in the correction of translation deformities or residual angular deformities in transverse fractures.[4] Ensuring reduction in cases with sacroiliac dislocation in the early period is extremely important. Early surgical intervention allows the early mobilization of patients and more effective rehabilitation. Satisfactory improvement is also obtained in the neurologic deficits occurred during the trauma.[3-5,16,20,25] We believe that the interlocked iliac plate applied in this case represents a good alternative that can be used stand-alone in cases with serious instability requiring sacroiliac stabilization or in combination with other methods in view of its ease of use, its structure that complies with the iliac wing anatomy, and the very strong stabilization it ensures. In conclusion, the purpose of our study was to show that sacroiliac dislocation, which is generally seen simultaneously with sacral fractures and causes sacral instability, can also be seen without sacral fracture, though very rare. Early operation in patients with sacroiliac instability is extremely important to ensure early mobilization. Although application of an iliac wing in sacroiliac fixation is a new method, it is very effective in ensuring stabilization. Conflict of interest: None declared. REFERENCES 1.

The case of ACS:Law and its campaign against people suspected of illegally downloading pornographic films took yet another turn last month.
Since ACS:Law began sending thousands of letters to alleged filesharers on behalf of its client Media CAT in 2009, claiming compensation of £495 for breach of copyright, the case has attracted significant attention. It has all the ingredients of a good story, but the decisions of Patents County Court Judge Birss QC also raise serious legal questions.
Judge Birss's latest decision came on 18 April, a ruling on the wasted costs application made by the defendants in the case. Like his other rulings on the varied issues raised by the Media CAT claims, the decision is thoughtful and lucid but does not hesitate to criticise – often strongly – the behaviour of ACS:Law founder Andrew Crossley.
Crossley shut down the firm in February this year, after telling Judge Birss he was abandoning the litigation due to threats made against him and his family.
The wasted costs application was made by the defendants because they said ACS:Law was responsible for pursuing a case which was likely to fail. Under civil procedure rules wasted costs orders can only be made where lawyers have acted improperly, unreasonably or negligently and that conduct has incurred unnecessary costs.
Crossley is due to appear before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal later this year. Judge Birss noted: "To investigate all of the various problems thrown up by Mr Crossley's conduct in this case would be time consuming and costly. I recognise that this logic can be characterised as meaning that the more misconduct there appears to be, the less likely it is to be dealt with, but in my judgment the point is that this is a wasted costs application and is concerned primarily with the unnecessary costs incurred by the defendants."
The exact amount of the costs at stake is still unclear. The defendants' barrister Guy Tritton told Judge Birss that his clients had amassed costs of £90,000. Crossley's barrister Paul Parker, instructed by Mills & Reeve, said costs related to the wasted costs application had reached £36,000.
Because Crossley stood to receive 65 per cent of the revenues from any successful litigation, Judge Birss said he had breached the solicitors' code of conduct and the litigation would not have proceeded without this agreement with Media CAT. Accordingly he added the firm as a party to the standard costs application. Media CAT has already been ordered to pay the defendants' costs on an indemnity basis.
The costs applications now go on to a second stage, on two issues – Crossley's revenue-sharing arrangements with Media CAT and the way the cases were discontinued. Although Judge Birss found "a series of errors and questionable conduct" in other areas, he said these would not have incurred unnecessary costs.
The outcome is likely to discourage other solicitors from following a similar path to ACS:Law. The Digital Economy Act, currently under judicial review, could also impact future cases by forcing a less litigious response to illegal filesharing – and thus prevent more situations which, as Judge Birss says, have "brought the legal profession into disrepute".

'We are Arabs, we are Muslims. Where are the Lebanese people?' Awad Fakhri, the charge, screamed in the forecourt of Beirut airport as Mr Hassan and Mr Darwish, the Iraqi consul in Jou nieh, were driven back to the capital. Four Iraqis, three with diplomatic immunity that the Lebanese seem in no hurry to respect, are being held for the murder of Sheikh Taleb Ali al-Suheil, an Iraqi opposition leader who was murdered at his Beirut home on 12 April. Mr Hassan has been named by one of the embassy staff as having fired two shots into Sheikh Taleb with a Beretta pistol supplied by the embassy.
Mr Fakhri and his staff drove to the airport yesterday, three days after Beirut broke diplomatic relations with Baghdad, under the impression they would be allowed to board a Royal Jordanian flight to Amman. While Mr Hassan and Mr Darwish were pushed into a police vehicle, the charge and two Iraqi dipomats were escorted on to the Jordanian aircraft.

BeschreibungAll at once, without warning of any kind, he found himself wrapped around as it were by a flame colored cloud.... Directly afterwards came upon him a sense of exultation, of immense joyousness accompanied or immediately followed by an intellectual illumination quite impossible to describe. Into his brain streamed one momentary lightning-flash of the Brahmic Splendor which has ever since lightened his life....
-from "First Words"
Wildly arrogant, stunningly bombastic, and undeniably fascinating. This 1901 work-the masterpiece of an eclectic genius whose life encompassed medical science, mystical transcendence, and prospecting for gold-posits a higher form of sentience that only a few humans have ever achieved, among them Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Dante, William Blake, and the author himself, of course.
As Bucke shares his metaphysical experience of the "cosmic consciousness" and offers evidence for the few instances in history of its occurrence ("it may as well be frankly stated at once that the view of the present editor is that Francis Bacon wrote the 'Shakespeare' plays and poems"), the reader may well be moved to throw this bizarre and highly intriguing book furiously across the room... if the reader can put it down at all, that is.
Canadian mystic and doctor RICHARD MAURICE BUCKE (1837-1902) was a pioneer in the medical treatment of mental illness; his famous friendship with Walt Whitman was the subject of the 1992 movie Beautiful Dreamers. He also wrote Man's Moral Nature (1879) and an 1883 authorized biography of Whitman.

this wiki
|This article is about the book. You may be looking for the episode, the US VHS/DVD release, the Romanian DVD, the UK VHS, the Buzz Book, or the Step into Reading book.
Thomas Comes to Breakfast is a book written by the Reverend W. Awdry. The story is a compilation of events that took place in the Railway Series book, Branch Line Engines. It was later re-illustrated with My First Thomas-style illustrations.
Thomas' driver jokes that he can drive without him. Next morning at dawn a cleaner was being careless and when Thomas wakes up he started to move but finds out that he can't stop. Thomas thinks that the buffers will stop him but finds that there are no buffers. He runs onto the road and straight toward the stationmaster's house. Thomas crashes through the wall interrupting the stationmaster's family breakfast. Soon Donald and Douglas come to help him out of the mess, he is later scolded by the Fat Controller. The next day a Diesel railcar, named Daisy arrives to the branch line to help Toby and Percy while Thomas is at the works. Daisy causes trouble, but the Fat Controller decides to let her have another chance.
- Donald and Douglas are in their black liveries.
- Unlike in the original story, Thomas' valance remains curved.
- Donald and Douglas are missing their nameplates.

Back To The Gate
We are here. I am placed carefully on the ground and I race to the patch. It's gone. I made a clear gap making it visible, and now it is gone. This can't be right. I remember making it. I look around frantically hoping to see a random patch jump out at me. There isn't one anywhere. Oh God.
"What's wrong?" Skye asks walking towards me.
"It's not here" I say looking around the area.
"What isn't?"
"A patch. Right here. This is where I fell........... and the witches were here - "
"The witches?"
"Yeah" they all look at each other gobsmacked. "Why?"
"The witches are our enemies. We don't want anything to do with them anymore. When you left we never talked to them again, we couldn't trust them" there is an awkward pause. I don't know how to tell them I'm not their Queen.
"Ok" is all I can say.
"So where is this gate?" now we're talking the same language.
"Follow me" and I set through the trees. They follow me. Now I feel like home is on the horizon line. I push bushes out the way so I can see where I am going. This is more covered than I remember. Many twigs and branches snap under our feet.
"How long did it take you to get here?" Cat asks.
"Err..... I don't remember. It took a while though"
"Approximately how long?"
"... an hour" I don't know. My phone died as soon as I got over the gate. All I have is my watch. It's now 12.30. I'm usually hungry by this time. That breakfast will keep me full for at least an hour and a half now, maybe more. More trees and no bushes. My hope of returning home is now fading. I come to a stop. A path should be here. I look around.... Just trees, bushes and more trees. This isn't helping.
"What's wrong?" Jess asks.
"There should be a path here" I say hoping for a path to jump out in front of me.
"A path?"
"Yes. A path" I grit my teeth. I'm angry now. I look at the tree on the right of me. That's it, I'm climbing it. I quickly jump up it ripping some of my jean off. More trees ahead, and no sign of a gate. It's like Narnia but with a gate. I stare at the cloudless sky. My heart feels empty, there is no hope of going home now.
"Are you ok?" Skye asks hovering on my right. I make eye contact with her.
"Let's just go back and we'll talk about this"
"Yeah" then Sky and Cat take my hands, and we fly back. Landing in front of the doors I manage to trip over some long grass. We walk back in, no one is here unlike last night. I walk back to the room where I slept, and fall on the bed, and look up at the ceiling. What am I going to do? All I want to do is go home. I cant find the gate. I don't believe it. I remember everything, where the gate was and how I got here. It seems to have disappeared. All these thoughts make me sleepy. I drift off into a deep sleep.

In an interview with the BBC on national British radio, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said that he believes Apple should pay 50% tax, along with all other companies. He said he doesn't like the distinction of different rules between corporations and individuals.
Today, although Apple has never been found to evade tax or conduct illegal practices, it does not pay at top-rate tax, using a variety of financial engineering schemes to redirect profits elsewhere, such as Ireland, with significantly lower tax requirements.

The Sorkin/Boyle Steve Jobs movie has grossed $2.26M to date, reports Deadline, as it rolled out to a further 56 theaters over the weekend. The movie had earlier achieved the highest average earnings per theater of any movie this year on its opening weekend.
The limited rollout to a total of just 60 theaters meant it didn't earn enough to make the top 10, headed by Goosebumps – which was on show at 3,500 locations.
While the movie has been criticized by some for the artistic liberties taken with the truth, with even Steve Wozniak and key system software designer Andy Hertzfeld saying that almost nothing shown really happened like that, scriptwriter Aaron Sorkin defended the movie at a London press conference … expand full story
October 13, 2015
Interviewed by Bloomberg, Steve Wozniak reiterated his comments about the difference between fact and fiction in the Steve Jobs movie, saying that almost nothing shown actually happened, but that it was about personalities, not facts.
It's a great movie. If Steve Jobs had been making movies, this is the quality it would have had.
Asked about the accusation made by Tim Cook and other Apple execs that movies about Jobs were opportunistic and didn't accurately portray the man, Woz said that the movie showed Jobs at an earlier time in his life … expand full story

Steve Jobs movie opens with highest per-theater earnings of any movie this year, best ever for Boyle
Steve Jobs, the controversial Sorkin/Boyle not-quite biopic, achieved the highest opening weekend Per-Theater Average (PTA) of any movie this year, reports Deadline. The movie also gave director Danny Boyle the best ever weekend average of his career.
The feature grossed sizzling $520,942, averaging $130,236. By comparison, Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (2008) grossed over $360K in 10 theaters its debut weekend, averaging $36K. The drama about the Apple founder, adapted by Aaron Sorkin, easily outpaced Sicario's $67K debut PTA.

[Ed. Note: This is a guest post by Lontih Khatami who [disclosure] works at the same studio, Universal, that produced the film but did not work on the film. Spoiler: it's better than iSteve]
Interested in seeing the new Steve Jobs movie that Universal is releasing this weekend in select markets (with wide expansion set for October 23)? Well, me, too. Only I've already seen it five times within the past dozen days. And I eagerly await my next few viewings.
You're probably wondering how I've been able to see this inevitable Oscar contender so many times prior to its initial release. The more important thing to ponder, though, is "Why would anybody WANT to see it so many times in such a short timeframe?" The answer to that question, quite simply, is because the movie is masterfully made, and it works on so many different levels. Not unlike so many of the products the title character brought into this world… expand full story

Sculley says Steve Jobs movie is "extraordinary entertainment" but depicts only one aspect of the man
Former Apple CEO John Sculley has told the WSJ that the Sorkin/Boyle movie Steve Jobs is "extraordinary entertainment" but depicts only one side of Jobs' personality.
It's extraordinary entertainment, [but] was really taking one aspect of Steve Jobs's personality.
Part of his personality was he was a passionate perfectionist, but there were so many other parts […] The young Steve Jobs that I knew had a great sense of humor. He was on many occasions, when we were together, very warm. He cared a lot about the people he worked with and he was a good person. So, I think those aren't the aspects that are focused on in this movie …

Laurene Powell Jobs tried to block the Steve Jobs movie, saying it painted him as inhumane [Updated]
The WSJ reports that Steve Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs repeatedly tried to block production of the Sorkins/Boyle movie Steve Jobs.
Ms. Jobs repeatedly tried to kill the film, according to people familiar with the conversations. She lobbied, among others, Sony Pictures Entertainment, which developed the script but passed on the movie for financial reasons, and Universal Pictures, which is releasing the $33.5 million production on Friday …

Andy Hertzfeld, one of the key designers of the original Macintosh system software, has told Re/code that the Sorkins/Boyle movie Steve Jobs "deviates from reality everywhere" but "exposes deeper truths" about the man.
It deviates from reality everywhere — almost nothing in it is like it really happened — but ultimately that doesn't matter that much. The purpose of the film is to entertain, inspire and move the audience, not to portray reality. It is cavalier about the facts but aspires to explore and expose the deeper truths behind Steve's unusual personality and behavior, and it often but not always succeeds at that.
Hertzfeld said that Sorkin had convinced him that an impressionistic approach was valid … expand full story

Sorkin: Three-act structure for Steve Jobs movie took two months of pacing, three minutes to be approved
Aaron Sorkin, screenwriter of Steve Jobs, told Wired that he had no idea how he was going to turn the huge biography into a movie, and when he finally did come up with an idea for it, he didn't think the studio would agree.
I didn't know that much about Steve Jobs, and the idea of doing a biopic was daunting. I work very slowly, and the first couple of months are spent just pacing around, climbing the walls […]
[Finally,] I got this idea, and I wrote an email to Scott saying, "If I had no one to answer to, I would write this entire movie in three real-time scenes, and each one would take place backstage before a particular product launch" […]
Really, I was emailing Scott to get help: Take this thing that I really want to do and tell me what I'm allowed to do, because no studio is going to let me do this. Two or three minutes later, I got an email from Amy Pascal—Scott had forwarded my email to her—and she said, "I think this is a great idea." I couldn't believe it. They were going to let me do this thing.

Universal today has shared the second official trailer for its upcoming Steve Jobs film. The movie debuted last week at the Telluride Film Festival and received almost universal positive reviews. Universal's film stars Michael Fassbender as Jobs and is directed by Danny Boyle, previously behind hits such as Slumdog Millionaire.
September 9, 2015
After Steve Wozniak gave a thumbs-up to the upcoming Sorkin/Boyle biopic simply entitled Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder expanded on his comments in a lengthy interview with the BBC's tech editor Leo Kelion.
Wozniak said that while the film didn't always portray events in the way they really happened, it did capture the essence of its subject.
But when you see it portrayed dramatically, not the way it really happened but in a way that is emotionally graphic, it really conveys what Steve Jobs was really like inside… and what it was like to be around him.
Wozniak doesn't, however, pull any punches when talking about Jobs' personality … expand full story

The movie features Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs, Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak, and it was written by Aaron Sorkin. The film is based off of Jobs's official biography by Walter Isaacson.

May 17, 2015
Universal Studios has just released the first trailer for the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic. The trailer gives us our first on-screen look at star Michael Fassbender as the Apple co-founder, along with Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet as Mac engineer Joanna Hoffman, and Jeff Daniels as John Sculley.
Photos from the set previously showed us Fassbender and Rogen in costume, but the images in the trailer appear to be from a different scene. The film, which was written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, will hit theaters in October.
Earlier this year the movie's script leaked, revealing key details about the plot. You can view the trailer below:
