South Coast Rail Project
Project Overview
The South Coast Rail project will restore commuter rail service between Boston, Taunton, Fall River and New Bedford. Since rail service to the South Coast region ended in the 1950s, the South Coast Rail project will provide a new, modern public transportation connection for this long-underserved region to jobs and economic development opportunities. At the June 2014 MassDOT Board Meeting, the Board of Directors approved a Program Management/Construction Management (PM/CM) contract to support the MBTA in the development of the overall program. The tasks include preliminary design, final design oversight, environmental permitting and construction management.
The proposed South Coast Rail service will be an extension of the MBTA's existing Stoughton Commuter Rail Line to the new terminal stations in New Bedford and Fall River. The route will extend from Stoughton Station along an inactive section of right-of-way from Stoughton to Taunton, then onto the active freight railroad corridor from Taunton to the terminus stations in Fall River and New Bedford. The project will include the reconstruction of existing Canton Center and Stoughton Stations and the addition of ten new commuter rail stations and two overnight layover facilities. The new stations will be located in North Easton, Easton Village, Raynham Park, Taunton, Taunton Depot, King's Highway, Whale's Tooth, Freetown, Fall River Depot and Battleship Cove. A new overnight layover facility will be located in both New Bedford and Fall River.
Work Underway
In addition to South Coast Rail itself, several infrastructure projects are underway along the rail corridor that will support the existing freight operations and help support the future South Coast Rail. Beginning in late 2014, MassDOT will completely replace four bridges along the future South Coast Rail right-of-way. This effort will provide immediate benefits for the expanding freight service and upgrade the rail's capacity to support commuter trains in the future. A second program includes the upgrade and reconstruction of five grade crossings along the South Coast Rail route. The new crossings will be equipped with state-of-the-art safety warning devices, new track and grade crossing surfaces. The grade crossing reconstruction will result in rebuilding approximately 10,500 linear feet of track in Freetown and approximately 5,600 linear feet of track in New Bedford.

Pontius of palia lyricsShe says I'm the one that should save her,
So when's she gonna to pray?
She's spelling it out, I'm a failure,
And I refuse today.
She says I'm the one that should save her,
But now I've
Reed full lyrics lost the way.
I tell her that nothing can save her,
That she's already saved.
She dwells in this seamless amnesia,
So when's she gonna to pay?
And nothing she says can apease her.
So what you gonna say?
She says that she does me a favor,
By telling me the truth.
But she's selling me out as a traitor,
Now I got the proof.
She says she won't mind my behavoir,
As long as I can bleed.
After all what's the good in a savior,
If it doesn't fill your need?
She says I'm a hell of a savior,
So who's it gonna to save?
I feel sick and I feel myself fail her,
And I'm not even brave.
She says I've got eyes eyes that impale her,
And now she's just a slave.
And it's always my fault that I've failed her,
I hold her like a grave.
And she says it's no good that I've made her,
The way she is today.
And that I am the one who should save her,
But I refuse to play.

Los Angeles: Actress-director Angelina Jolie, who recently underwent cancer preventative surgery and had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, feels by overcoming difficulties, one gains strength and maturity.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie, 39, reflected on what she learned from the late Louis Zamperini, a World War II war survivor who was the focus of her directorial venture "Unbroken", reported Us magazine.
"I do believe in the old saying 'What does not kill you makes you stronger'. Our experiences, good and bad, make us who we are."
"Like many of the greatest human stories, it is about the capacity of regular men and women to rise above adversity," Brad Pitt's wife answered when asked about the greatest lesson she learned from Louis Zamperini's story.

"Sometimes "The Silence" is the loudest shout" - Jab Korr challenging Nym.
Jab Korr was a fervent defender of justice and keeper of peace who helped protect the mandalorian culture and the galaxy by founding the Heroes of Silence <HdS> with its own autonomy. Exerting a strong presence in Dantooine and the Rachuk Sector and watching the Myto's Arrow hyperspace route, they almost always fought in an undercover way against criminal organizations such us the Black Sun, Jabba's Criminal Empire, Valarians or Nym's Lok Revenant and high-corrupted imperial positions as well; years later they would help and befriend the Mandalorian Protectors and sympathize and support the New Republic.
He was appointed mando'burc'ya ("Friend of Mandalore") by Fenn Shysa after more than 10 years of strong friendship. He received a Beskar'gam (mandalorian armor) and a new name among their people; from that moment he would be known as K'uur ("Silence" in Mando'a) and used to wear his armor as a sign of great honor and eternal gratitude. Jab Korr's Beskar'gam colours were black, golden orange and blue, representing "Justice", "Lust for Life" and "Resposibility" respectively.
Jab Korr had a son with his old partner and lover Kasia Veltar in 9 ABY, at the age of 36 years, just before the Grand Admiral Thrawn's failed attack on Coruscant. They named their son "Jake Korr Veltar", in honor to Jab's brother and with the parents' surnames.
Jab Korr was fallen near the end of the Second Battle of Coruscant (29 DBY), sacrificing himlself to gain time for his commando to escape from the Yuuzhan Vong back to their fleet. He died satisfied knowing the Galactic Alliance was victorious and his people was save while the Alliance Fleet bombed his position, destroying the Yuuzhan Vong's large facilities.
Birth and childhood
Borned in 27 BBY as the second and younger child of Korr Family in Kliffen headquarters (Commenor), son of a shipwright and a merchant, he grew in peace with his family untill the Clone Wars broke out, when his father was sent to the First Battle of Cato Neimoidia and died onboard Captain Jan Dodonna's Star Destroyer.
Following the Declaration of a New Order, there were a number of anti-Imperial protests across the planet. Their mother took them far from the violence in the cities and stablished themlseves in a small village as new home.

1,750 Pieces of 9mm Fully Processed Remington (R-P) Headstamp Brass.
Why We Make A Great Product
We start by removing any debris, blanks, and damaged or stained cases first. Then we clean the remaining cases to remove any minor stains, grease, mud or tarnish. The clean brass is then fed into a machine called a rollsizer to remove any minor bulge at the base of the case that the full length resizing die is unable to reach. This small bulge can cause chambering problems for you if not properly removed. This is usually caused by being fired in pistols that do not have completely supported chambers, like some Glocks. Not all cases need to be roll sized, but we rollsize each case to guarantee that every case you buy will feed flawlessly. This small but essential extra step brings the brass back to original factory new specifications so the brass we sell you will function and chamber flawlessly in any 9mm Luger chambered gun.
The brass then goes to a processing machine where it is deprimed, full length resized to 9mm Luger SAMMI specifications there is no primer pocket crimp on Remington commercial brass so there is no crimp to be removed. We do not bell the case mouths because different customers want either heaver or lighter belling on the case mouth and most customers prefer to do this step themselves when priming. The case is then polished to remove any grease or minor tool marks so you receive high quality brass that primes beautifully and functions perfectly in your gun. All you have to do is prime, bell, drop powder and seat the bullet.
Quality Control
All cases are randomly checked by the machine operator with headspace, and primer pocket gauges as the finished cases come off the machine. This ensures exacting tolerances are maintained so you receive the finest brass we can produce. The last step we do is to pull finished random cases off the processing machines and prime, load and test fire them in our test guns. Again to insure they will perform as promised. This should give you complete confidence that the brass you receive will function flawlessly in your gun.
When we ship our brass to you we ad an additional 1% to ensure you receive more than what you paid for.

PREVENTIVE ANTI-RESORPTIVE DRUG ADMINISTRATION IN DISUSE OSTEOPOROSIS MIGHT PRESERVE TRABECULAR CONNECTIVITY Ronald Ruimerman (1), Esther Tanck (2), Bert van Rietbergen (1), Peter Hilbers (1), Rik Huiskes (1) 1. Dept. of Biomed. Eng., Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. 2. Orthop. Res. Lab., UMCN, University Nijmegen, The Netherlands INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is caused by altered bone forming osteoblast and bone resorbing osteoclast activities, causing degenerated bone structure. In disuse osteoporosis reduced loads cause this condition. It is often treated with anti-resorptive drugs (ARD), which preserve bone mass and fracture resistance. We developed a theory for bone modeling and remodeling as governed by mechanical forces (Huiskes, 2000). In this work we investigated whether the theory can describe the known morphological effects of osteoporosis and anti-resorptive drug treatment on trabecular structure. We then asked the question whether preventive treatment could preserve bone mass and structure on the long term. METHODS We incorporated our theory in a computational model. Starting from a conceptual morphology, representing bone tissue at the post-mineralized fetal stage, the modeling simulation was continued to morphological homeostasis, representing mature bone where only remodeling still occurred (Ruimerman, 2003). After this stage disuse osteoporosis was invoked by reducing the mechanical loading magnitude by 50%. In the resulting osteoporotic structure the osteoclastic activation frequency was reduced by 70% in order to mimic the effects of – therapeutic or late - anti-resorptive drug administration (Steiniche, 1991). To study the effects of preventive treatment, we repeated the simulation of inducing disuse osteoporosis and reduced osteoclastic activation prematurely, i.e. at the moment of reducing the loading magnitude. RESULTS Starting from the post-mineralized fetal stage, the simulation produced

Greenhouses that use LED lighting vs. HPS see tremendous energy savings.
Absolutely. When horticultural LEDs first emerged into the cannabis market, the technology was just beginning to be explored, and a lack of information lead to some early assumptions and practices. Since then, many successful growers have proven that LED grow lights work very effectively as sole-source lighting for cannabis.
Almost all Illumitex LEDs are IP66 rated, meaning they are dust-tight and water-tight at the LED package level. Because they can be washed down along with everything else in a food-processing environment, they are safe and efficient additions to this type of setting. In an indoor growing situation, Illumitex IP66 rated LED horticulture lights are equally safe from irrigation dampness.
Circadian resonance applies to a match between a plant's circadian rhythms and the light-dark cycle of the environment.
Circadian rhythm is a biological activity that shows a cycle of high activity and low activity independent of external stimuli, with a regular periodicity of about 24 hours.
Critical day length is the minimum length of the day required for flowering of long-day plant — the maximum length of the day that will allow short-day plants to flower. However, studies have shown that it is the length of the night, not the length of the day, that is important.
Critical night length is the night length that must be exceeded for flowering of short-day plants, or for inhibition of flowering in long-day plants.
Cryptochrome 1 a flavoprotein involved in the inhibition of stem elongation and other blue-light responses.
Daily light integral (DLI) measures the number of photons that fall on the plant canopy over a 24-hour period. DLI has a profound impact on plant growth and development for essentially all greenhouse crops.
No. UV light can stress cannabis plants, and the plants respond to this stress by increasing production of trichomes, which is a desirable result for many growers. However, there are other ways to induce stress in cannabis plants that don't waste watts.
- Drop nighttime temperatures in your grow room to make plants think winter is approaching; they'll go into overdrive and produce more trichomes.
- Conversely, induce stress by raising temperatures; use caution, though, as heat stress can form elongated, wispy flowers.
- Lower humidity to 15% at the end of flowering cycle.
- Decrease photoperiod or even turn lights off for 2-3 days prior to harvest.
- Use ice water for final flushing of plants.
Yes! Proper lighting ensures plants are getting the most beneficial PPFD at each growing stage, thereby enabling accelerated and more efficient photosynthesis.
How does LED light increase plant yields? Intense, specific wavelengths can be tuned to excite photosystems that are the drivers of photosynthesis. The proper light can induce greater rates of photosynthesis with less energy consumption than traditional lighting sources.
High irradiance response are phytochrome responses whose magnitude is proportional to the irradiance (rather than fluence). HIRs saturate at fluences 100 times higher than LFRs and are not photoreversable. HIRs do not obey the law of reciprocity.
It is important to maintain healthy "mother" plants to ensure that the cuttings are also healthy.
As you prepare your healthy cuttings, it is important to provide optimal lighting conditions right away. Pay careful attention to three important lighting issues: light intensity, uniform coverage and spectrum.
Balancing light intensity is essential at the cloning stage. Providing too much light can cause the plants to deplete their resources before they develop a healthy root system. Too little light can cause stretching, which can delay growth and create weaker plants. A one-size-fits-all formula doesn't exist because different crops and crop varieties can have different spectral quality and quantity needs. It's best to carefully observe your specific varieties and note how they react to different light levels.
For more information, download the PDF: Optimizing Your Lighting for Clones
Using LED lights can require different mounting heights as compared to HID lighting. And while it's difficult to offer hard and fast rules for light mounting heights, we've come up with some general recommendations. If you're transitioning plants from legacy lighting sources to LED, you probably want to start on the high end of the scale of mounting heights listed below and gradually lower the fixture to increase intensity as your plants adapt to their new lighting source.
NeoSol LS Coverage Area
Purchasing a single NeoSol LS? Expect your NeoSol LS to cover a 3' x 1.5' area, and plan to hang your light no closer than 12" from the canopy. This setup is best for seedling propagation.
For more information, download the PDF: Illumitex Distance to Canopy Recommendations
Many factors work to determining how much light penetrates the plant canopy. Plant species, leaf thickness, leaf size and the number of leaves within a given area all play a part in light penetration, and so it's impossible to make a blanket statement. We can say that the quality of light Illumitex LED grow lights deliver to the plant encourages increased leaf accumulation to intercept more light and increase production further.
For more information, download the PDF: How Far Do LED Lights Penetrate the Canopy?
LED lights are much more energy-efficient than most other forms of lighting, so growers' energy bills are greatly reduced. LED grow lights don't generate as much heat as legacy lighting types and so external cooling systems are unnecessary. LEDs offer scientifically tuned spectra for different plant growth and different stages of growth.
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) is reported as millimoles of light energy per square meter.
Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) is measured in micromoles per square meter per second. This metric represents the total number of photons in the photosynthetically active range of wavelengths falling on a square meter of a given surface (such as a plant canopy) every second. In horticultural lighting applications, it is used instead of illuminance (which is measured in lux or footcandles).

No. Research shows that plants primarily absorb light from much more narrow areas of the light spectrum — blue and red regions, specifically. Chlorophyll — the plant structure in which photosynthesis occurs — absorbs peak wavelengths around 450nm and 660nm (blue and red, respectively). Giving plants only the light they need — red and blue vs. "full spectrum" — is important when considering energy usage.
There is an optimal temperature for photosynthesis, and any temperature higher or lower than that will decrease the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis temperatures too small or great can actually kill plant cells, as cells are made up of mostly water and water evaporates at high temperatures and freezes at low temperatures. By using and LED grow light, temperature management can be more efficiently controlled when compared to HID lighting like high pressure sodium or metal halide lamps. For example, the NeoSol NS puts out about 61% less BTUs than a 600W HPS bulb and ballast system, giving growers a more efficient growing environment to control.

Long day plant (LDP) is a plant that only flowers during long days (qualitative LDP) or whose flower is accelerated by long days (quantitative LDP).
Long-short-day plants are plants that flower only after a sequence of long days followed by short days.
Low-fluence responses are phytochrome responses that require the fluence to reach 1.0 µmol m-2, and are saturated at about 1000 µmol m-2. They include most of the red/far red photoreversible responses, such as the promotion of lettuce seed germination and the regulation of leaf movements.
Microeinstein is the unit equal to one millionth of an einstein, which is one mole of photons, regardless of frequency, as used to measure irradiance. The einstein has been used to represent the quantity of radiant energy in Avogadro's number of photons and also Avogadro's number of photons. The second definition has the einstein equal a mole of photons. While commonly used as a unit for photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), the einstein is not an SI unit.
Mole is based on the number of photons in a certain waveband incident per unit time (s) on a unit area (m2) divided by the Avogadro constant (6.022 x 1023 mol-1). It is used commonly to describe PAR in the 400-700 nm waveband.
The chlorophyll of the photosystem II reaction center that absorbs maximally at 680 nm in its neutral state. The P stands for pigment.
The chlorophyll of the photosystem I reaction center that absorbs maximally at 700 nm in its neutral state. The P stands for pigment.
The far-red light-absorbing form of the phytochromes converted from Pr by the action of red light. The blue-green colored Pfr is converted back to Pr by far-red light. Pfr is the physiologically active form of phytochrome.
Photochemistry is very rapid chemical reactions in which light energy absorbed by a molecule causes a chemical reaction to occur.
Photoinhibition is the inhibition of photosynthesis by excess light.
Photomorphogenesis is the influence and specific roles of light on plant development. In the seedling, light-induced changes in gene expression to support above-ground growth in the light rather than below-ground growth in the dark.
A photon is a discrete physical unit of radiant energy.
A photoperiod the amount of time per day that a plant is exposed to light or darkness. May control various aspects of sexual or vegetative reproductive development, including flowering.
Photosynthate is the carbon-containing products of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy to chemical energy by photosynthetic pigments using H2O and CO2, and producing carbohydrates.

Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) is photosynthetically active radiation expressed on a quantum basis, quanta (µmol·m-2·s-1).
For more information, download the PDF: PPFD — A Grower's Best Friend
Phyotsynthetically active radiation is light wavelengths between 400 to 700 nm range that corresponds to the wave band absorbed by photosynthetic pigments.
Photosystem is a functional unit in the chloroplast that harvests light energy to power electron transfer and to generate a proton motive force used to synthesize ATP.
A system of photoreactions that absorbs maximally far-red light (700nm), oxidizes plastocyanin and reduces ferredoxin.
A system of photoreactions that absorbs maximally red light (680nm), oxidizes water and reduces plastoquinone. Operates very poorly under far-red light.
Phototropins 1 and 2 are two flavoproteins that are the photoreceptors for the blue-light signaling pathway that induces phototropic bending. They also mediate chloroplast movements and participate in stomatal opening in response to blue light. Phototropins are autophosphorylating protein kinases whose activity is stimulated by blue light.
Phototropism is the alteration of plant growth patterns in response to the direction of incident radiation (light).
Phytochrome is a plant growth-regulation photoreceptor protein that absorbs primarily red light and far-red light, but also absorbs blue light. The holoprotein that contains the chromophore phytochromobilin.
Red-light absorbing phytochromes form. This is the form in which phytochromes is assembled. The blue-colored Pr is converted by red light to the far-red light-absorbing form, Pfr.
A short day plant (SDP) is one that only flowers during short days (qualitative SDP) or whose flower is accelerated by short days (quantitative SDP).
PPF/Watt is a measure of fixture efficacy, expressed in micromoles per joule; this metric represents the total number of photons in the photosynthetically active range of wavelengths generated by one joule of electrical energy. This is an electrical efficiency metric that is referenced, instead of lumens per watt, for horticultural LED lights.
To accomplish photosynthesis, plants need light from different places on the visible light spectrum (400nm to 700nm). Plants mostly use red light and blue light for proper vegetative growth and flowering. And humans who need to see the plants appreciate a little light in the green part of the spectrum, which is where we see best. So the best LED grow lights are those that combine, in the proper proportions, light from these three parts of the spectrum. With LEDs, we are able o provide only the usable spectra and wavelengths without wasting energy on those that are not beneficial to plants.
For horticultural grow lights, lux and lumens are meaningless measurements.
Lumens are a measurement of how much light energy a light source emits. The problem is that this measurement is based around the wavelengths of the human eye, and NOT the photosynthetically active radiation (what plants "see") wavelengths. It makes sense to use lumens when measuring lights used in flashlights or high bay applications, but means nothing when it comes to grow lights.
Lux is a measurement of how much light reaches a surface (Lumens/m^2), but this measurement is based upon lumens and is not an appropriate measurement for horticulture grow lights.
PAR is defined by the International Commission on Illumination as the total photon exposure in the 400nm to 700nm waveband range of radiation that is absorbed by photosynthetic pigments. PAR is not a quantitative measure; it's merely a description of the light that plants need for photosynthesis. PPFD, on the other hand, is a quantifiable measure of the total number of photons in the photosynthetically active range of wavelengths that fall on a square meter of a given surface (say, a plant canopy) every second. In other words, PPFD is a measured metric whereas PAR is merely a descriptive term for a range of wavelengths.
Chlorophyll B has a peak absorption response at 450nm and 660nm.
Chlorophyll A has a peak absorption response at 430nm and 680nm.

Well, here's something expected.
For anyone out of the loop, Louis Farrakhan is the leader of the Nation of Islam. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), he's commonly known for making anti-semetic remarks, and promotes an anti-white ideology.
More surprising than the far-left SPLC actually acknowledging that anti-white ideology is Farrakhan's comments on Trump's proposed ban on Muslim immigration. Watch the video below, courtesy of Infowars:
In his words, "I know the hatred for America in the Muslim world is building. In this way, I think, Mr. Trump is wise to vet anyone coming from that area into America."
And that's coming from a man who thinks that Trump will bring America "into the abyss of hell."

LeBron James offers to come off bench for Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James said he would come off the bench if it would help the team, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.
James has started 881 of 882 games in his career, coming off the bench in December 2007 after returning from an injured finger.
The Cavaliers have won 11 straight games, and James said he would sacrifice his starting spot if it would help the team continue its hot play.
"It's all about the team and for me being the leader of the team, it doesn't matter," James said. "Whatever this team needs in order for us to win, I'll come off the bench. I'm serious. I'll come off the bench. If it helps our team, that's what it's about, man.
"It's about a team and how we all fit together, how the five guys on the court fit together, how the eight guys or 10 guys on the bench all help the guys that are on the floor and so on and so on. So, sacrifice is the biggest word in team sports, but it's not about saying it. It's about doing it, as well. It's about living it."
• DOLLINGER: NBA Power Rankings: Cavs continue to climb
Since returning from back and knee injuries last month, James has averaged 28.8 points, 6.7 assists and 6.0 assists while shooting 49.6 percent from the field. Cavaliers coach David Blatt responded to James' comments by saying he has not thought about bringing James off the bench.
Earlier this week, James said Kevin Love's recent play is a result of a lack of confidence in his jump shot. Love dismissed James' assessment, saying he is just trying to fill his role on the team. During Cleveland's winning streak, Love is averaging 13.9 points and 11.0 rebounds.
The Cavaliers are the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 30-20 record. They host the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday.

Unihedron Ethernet Enabled Sky Quality Meter w/ Lens, Weatherproof Housing & POE
At long last, Unihedron is offering an economical SQM model that is ethernet-enabled for steady sky brightness monitoring in twilight! Calculates night sky brightness in magnitudes per square arcsecond. The Unihedron SQM-LE, designed by Dr. Doug Welch and Anthony Tekatch, provides an accurate measurement of just how high the quality of the night sky or site actually is. Analyze the brightness of the sky at various locations and chronicle the severity of light pollution in your area. Set planetarium dome illuminatino to simulate sky conditions people are likely to encounter in other areas of their city. The SQM-LE allows the user to keep an eye on sky brightness levels throughout the night, week, month, or even year and figure out which dates are most likely to show the greatest possibility for being able to locate the faintest stars. Fine-tune the consequence of sky brightness using qualitative measures such as the Bortle Scale and research how sky brightness corresponds to solar activity. Share your knowledge of sky brightness levels to help predict forthcoming illumination grades with the Clear Sky Clock. Lastly, the SQM-LE allows users to correlate a difference in the reading on the SQM to predict a difference in the background ADU with a particular filter and exposure.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
The onCourse web applications undertake a continuous improvement and development cycle, just like the onCourse application you run in your office.
A major focus for our development for the last half of 2015, and into 2016 is our skillsOnCourse portal, which you probably know as your tutor, student, employer or agent portals. Some of these improvements are now in production, and more will be rolling out shortly. Watch this space!
Different businesses use these portals in different ways, and if there are features or functions you'd like to see added to make this part of the application more useful for you, don't be shy about asking. Comments to this forum post are welcome, or lodge your request directly via your normal support channels.
Students who have applied for a course (rather than enrolled) can see the status of their application in the portal, and where their application has been approved, either proceed to enrolment and payment or reject the offer.
In concert with changes to the enrolment application, users can now select to hide any and all all fields during enrolment, to make the purchase process as simple as possible. This data can then be collected as part of a post-enrolment process, via the skillsOnCourse portal. It is important if you wish to implement this process, that you customise your enrolment confirmations to send a link to the portal to request this additional information.
AVETMISS questions, even when not displayed in the enrolment process, will also be available for the student to complete inside the portal.
Public attachments (normally used as part of website marketing) no longer display in the portal. Only attachments flagged as 'tutor' or 'tutor and enrolled student' are accessible in the resources list.
Documents not attached to a course, class or enrolment record, but also marked as 'tutor' or 'tutor and enrolled student' display in the top of the resources list. This may be of use for distributing student and tutor handbooks or generic forms like assessment cover sheets.
You can now add a day of the week string to a search query using the syntax ?day=mon
Tag count results for all search options selected in that same tag tree family assume an OR search, and results selected from different tag tree families assume an AND search

CARENCRO — Acadiana's Monique Hundley was reluctant to say hat tricks are routine for her, but they are.
So it should have come as a surprise to no one when Hundley netted three goals Monday night against Carencro. Hundley's hat trick propelled the Lady Rams to a 4-0 victory over the Lady Bears.
"I can't do it without my team," Hundley said. "They're the ones that make it happen. It's not just me. It's not just one player."
Hundley wasted no time getting the scoring started. After Carencro goalkeeper Danielle Heim made a great save in the seventh minute, Hundley came right back in the ninth minute and put the ball through on the near post, giving Acadiana a 1-0 lead.
"Monique does a lot for us," Acadiana coach John Carriere said. "She's creative in the midfield, and she's certainly dangerous up top."
The Lady Rams took a 2-0 lead into halftime after Summer St. Ann chipped in a shot over the Heim's head in the 11th minute. Hundley added her second goal quickly in the second half. She dribbled the ball down and put the goal in the back of the net for a 3-0 Acadiana lead.
Her third and final goal was a chip in from 30 feet away. Carriere said he thought Acadiana did a good job creating chances.
"We did a good job of playing in spaces and getting the backs to spread," Carriere said. "We had plenty of chances, and (Heim) was phenomenal. She really made some good saves."
Heim had several amazing saves to keep the Lady Bears in the game. Carencro coach Mike Woodall said Heim's play in the net was the reason the score wasn't more lopsided.
"Those first two goals were spot on, and you can't do anything about that," Woodall said. "Danielle is a really good keeper, and she kept us in the game."
Carencro's best chance to score came in the 11th minute when Ashley Colomb pushed one inches wide on a near post shot. Woodall said if that one had gone in, the complexion of the game could have changed.
"I'm not saying we beat them, but if we just finish, it's a different game," Woodall said. "We know that we can compete. We have no reason to hang our head. We competed, and we did not quit. We just have to finish our opportunities."
Hundley said the Lady Rams have gone through a "rough patch" but she said the way they played Monday shows they've come out stronger on the other side.
"We came out prepared and ready and I couldn't do anything without my team," she said. "They give me such great support and effort and they create my chances for me. I think we've pulled through (the rough patch) as a family and we are looking to go far this year."

Wallow Fire Arizona
June 3, 2011 by USA Post
Wallow Fire Arizona, The fire forced to roll the Arizona Department of Transportation to close a highway in eastern Arizona. U.S. 191 is closed between the Alps and Camp Strayhorse (markers 220-253). Alpine is about 25 miles south of Eager, on the east side of Arizona. The fire began to roll a few days ago and burned about 12 miles southwest of Alpine. Bob Dyson, a spokesman for the fire information, talked to 3TV on "Good Morning!" Arizona "on the fire Revolcadero. He said firefighters are warning the area of?? Dense smoke, which could cause visibility problems for drivers. Furthermore, due to fire behavior and current conditions, Dyson said it was safer to keep the public out and away from Highway 191. No time estimated that when the road is reopened.
There is a lot faster alternative route around the closure of Highway 191. However, drivers may use Highway 180 to the north and south.
The fire has forced additional rolling road closures, including sections of state routes 261 and 273 of the main access roads to the Big Lake and Crescent Lake in the White Mountains. ADOT is working with the firefighters to ensure passenger safety.
S.R. 261 is closed from seven miles south of SR 260 to Crescent Lake (markers 394-405) and S.R. 273 is closed from Sunrise Park, Big Lake (markers 390-397). There is no estimated time for reopening of roads, according to ADOT.
ADOT has established a hotline for drivers that you can call and hear the latest road conditions around the state. Dial 511 to listen to recorded information. ADOT updates online throughout the day.

A total of 106 student-athletes from eight schools across Divisions I and II earned recognition for their academic achievements. To be eligible for all-academic honors, student-athletes must carry a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher for the Fall 2015 semester.
In addition to the 18 named to the All-Academic Team, Amber Hu and Kelly Tan were two of four gymnasts named ECAC Scholar Athlete of the Year. It was Hu's second consecutive Scholar-Athlete Award.

Dear Abby: You told "Needs Help in Chicago" (Feb. 10) to get back into college and see a counselor. I wholeheartedly agree. I was exactly like her. I avoided other people, maintained straight A's, had many offers for scholarships, went to college and, shortly after, burned out. I'm not sure about her, but I had been raped and molested at a young age, and books became my escape from the harsh reality of life.
There's a root cause for social avoidance, and it really can leave you feeling lost and adrift. I hope that girl will seek mental health counseling before she goes back to school. I'm sure it will change many things for her for the better.
– T.B., Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear T.B.: Thank you for reaching out to "Needs Help" and sharing your personal experience. I spotted the same red flag in her letter, which is why I hoped she'd talk to a mental health professional. However, because I was unsure of her financial situation, I felt she could most easily find a therapist through the school's student health center. You are only one of many readers who want to help that young woman. Read on:
Dear Abby: As a college counselor, I'm amazed at the number of students who have no idea what to do with their lives. Fortunately, there are highly effective assessment tools and counseling protocols to help students identify the kind of work they would find fulfilling and rewarding, and that would give meaning to their lives. Helpful answers are there if students get the right counseling.
– Patricia Breslin, Gainesville, Fla.
Dear Abby: I am a college English professor. Far too many students float through my classes who go to school only because their parents expect them to. Their attitude and grades often reflect this.
I encourage my own children (ages 17 and 20) to go out and experience life before going to college. I didn't start college until my mid-30s, and 10 years later am working on a doctorate. As a result, I appreciated the experience much more and got more value from my tuition dollars. College right out of high school is not the answer for everyone.
– Caring Professor,
Washington State
Dear Abby: "Needs Help in Chicago," who doesn't know what to do with her life, might consider joining the Peace Corps or becoming a VISTA or AmeriCorps volunteer. It's a wonderful way to spend a few years, provides valuable experiences and looks good on a resume. It would give her a chance to see the world in a new way and learn about herself. Anyone, at any time in life, can do this. It's a rewarding experience.
– R.L.H. in Warner Robins, Ga.
Dear Abby: I dropped out of an Ivy League school after one semester due to burnout and boredom. Everyone I knew was sure I was making the wrong decision. It was the best choice I ever made.
During my 2 1/2 years off, I participated in a semester program through NOLS, the National Outdoor Leadership School (www.nols.edu). NOLS offers scholarships, financial aid and college credit. I recommend it to anyone seeking direction and challenge in life.
Eventually, when I was ready, I returned to school and graduated with honors. I now own my own business and attribute my successes to NOLS. I hope "Needs Help" will seriously consider this alternative to college.
– Kate in Cheyenne, Wyo.

Ford is producing a handful of the new 2017 GT with just 500 units for two years. Ford is making sure only a select few get their hands on it and who are serious about owning the GT and not for profit.
The new Ford 2017 GT misses out on two cylinders, so it has been tuned down from V8 to V6. Many enthusiasts might find it bizarre, however, the video below that Ford Performance has ensured the V6 sounds like a demon and fans do not miss out on the V8.
At the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the Ford GT V6 has been filmed with the sound and revving of the '66 GT Heritage Edition, painted in black and looks right at home.
The Ford GT will be powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine which can churn out 592bhp of power in the final production model. Prices are rumored to be in the range of $450,000 (Rs. 3 crores approx.).
The 2017 Ford GT V6 once launched will rival the likes of Lamborghini Aventador or a Ferrari F12. Currently, 7,000 application has been received, Ford initially was to manufacture just 500 of them, however, with the kind of demand, Ford will increase the production of the same.
Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance said, "While we can't build enough Ford GTs for everyone who has applied, we are going to produce additional vehicles in an effort to satisfy more of our most loyal Ford ambassadors, we want to keep Ford GT exclusive, but at the same time we know how vital this customer is to our brand."

The idea of extending cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments to sub-wavelength sized nanomechanical systems has been recently proposed in the context of optical cavity cooling and optomechanics of deformable cavities. Here we present an experiment involving a single nanorod consisting of about 109 atoms precisely positioned into the confined mode of a miniature high finesse Fabry-Pérot microcavity. We show that the optical transmission of the cavity is affected not only by the static position of the nanorod but also by its vibrational fluctuation. The Brownian motion of the nanorod is resolved with a displacement sensitivity of 200 fm/√Hz at room temperature. Besides a broad range of sensing applications, cavity-induced manipulation of optomechanical nanosystems and back-action is anticipated.

If you've already booked a cruise past that date, Royal Caribbean's release says its representatives will contact you. As well, the company has established contact numbers for travel agents and consumers who have questions; call 888-281-9344.
More details on how the ship will be transformed once it's officially transferred to Pullmantur were not revealed.
As you may recall, Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited -- owner of Celebrity Cruises as well as Royal Caribbean International -- acquired Pullmantur last November as part of its strategy to expand into Europe. Pullmantur, founded in 1971, is the largest cruise operator in Spain. It has two primary business interests: cruises and tour operations. Its cruise division consists of five ships operating in Europe and Latin America. The fleet included -- at least at the time of RCCL's acquisition -- two former Renaissance R-series ships and the one-time Pacific Princess, which you may remember from the TV series "The Love Boat."
Royal Caribbean already has swapped some ships. The two Renaissance R-class ships will head over to this side of the Atlantic where they will undergo refurbishments before being transformed into Celebrity Journey and Celebrity Quest; both will re-launch this year. In turn, Celebrity Zenith will be sent over to Pullmantur this spring. It sails its last cruise as Zenith on April 13.
Empress of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean's oldest ships -- read: few balconies, smaller staterooms. The 48,563-ton, 2,020-passenger ship joined the fleet in 1990, and just a few years ago became the first middle-aged Royal Caribbean ship to undergo a significant refurbishment (others that have followed include Enchantment of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas).

Very nice tutorials but I want to lock whole browser when the lightbox appear please can you tell me how this is possible that lightbox working as js alert.
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Auto-popup a Lightbox Form
JotForm Support
It will require using the full source code and editing of the lightbox script -- which is a bit complex.
Similar to what was described here.
It is actually simpler to just use the Pop-up script embed.
The Pop-up embed will not close the form even when you click outside of it.
Hope this help. Let us know if you need further assistance

The most adorable first flight ever
It's taken these two grandmothers more than 70 years to travel on a plane – but when they finally do, the result is incredibly heartwarming.
Do you remember your first flight? For many of us at BBC Travel, the answer is no. We've taken to the skies so often that the trips seem to merge into one – and some of us have been flying since before we can even remember.
But in this extremely heartwarming video of two Dutch grandmothers taking to the skies for the first time, we're instantly reminded of how amazing it is to soar through the air and look down on the vast beauty of our world.
Despite being a part of a Vodaphone ad campaign, the video provides an incredibly touching and inspirational story.
It pairs adventurous Ria, a spunky 78 year old who always wanted to fly but was married to a man who never would, with An, a cautious 72 year old whose husband could never convince her to face her fear of flying. Ria is ready to jump on the plane straight away, while An worries about everything that can go wrong. But it's their opposite personalities that bring the two women, who'd never met, so close together; and the result is an uplifting display of their emotional journey – from fear to excitement, and finally, to an appreciation of flying that is so genuine it brought tears to our eyes.
The piece really takes off about six minutes in, but the interviews with the women earlier in the video are equally adorable.
"1,000km… Holy Moly! To me, driving a car at 140km per hour is fast enough!"
"There will be clouds, of course… at least that's what I've heard, that you fly through them."
"If you don't know what it is, there's no reason to be afraid."
Through their experience, from their journey on the private jet to the overwhelming euphoria they feel when arriving in Barcelona, we're reminded of travelling's remarkable ability to transform our experiences, memories and lives.

Lily Donaldson: My sarcasm scared people
Lily Donaldson once joked she was a "squid hunter" when asked if she was a model.
The 28-year-old model was scouted in London, UK, when she was 16 and has posed in high-end campaigns for brands including Max Mara, Jil Sander and Dolce & Gabbana during her career.
It took a while for Lily to get her head around her job when she was younger, which meant she'd often pretend she did something else.
"I remember going to Glastonbury when I first started modelling and people would say, 'Are you a model?' And I'd be like, 'No, I'm a squid hunter,'" she recalled to the British edition of Elle magazine. "I'd make things up. Then I realised that when I was saying that, I was making people feel really uncomfortable."
Lily's gorgeous looks and enviable blonde tresses have won her a huge fan following and the fashionista often interacts with them through social media.
But things haven't always gone swimmingly for the style star. In 2011 she was seriously injured following a horseback-riding accident that left her unable to walk for around three months. Speaking to The Edit recently, she recalled the scary incident and how it changed her perspective.
"I'm so, so lucky. I was knocked out by the tree, so I don't really remember anything. But it readjusted my feelings. It was like, 'Oh, you can hurt yourself,'" she said.
"I wasn't good at being incapable of doing things. It was the worst. [The accident made me feel] lighter about life. You realise you've had a brush with death, so you have to enjoy yourself. I would've been f**ked if I had come out of that and been super-grumpy!"

Argo was easily one of the best film of 2012 with fantastic direction, tight screenplay and catchy story line.
Argo is the name of a fake movie created by CIA-Canadian collaboration to escort 6 fugitive Americans from highly-tensed Iran.
Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, The Town) is getting better and better with each film. Gone Baby Gone was more of crime-drama, whereas The Town was more of action-thriller but with Argo he has cemented his status as a matured director. Argo, loosely based on the true events taking place in the 80's era, was directed with aplomb. Affleck made sure he handles the sensitive subject effectively and the outcome was awesome. Screenplay is engrossing. The moment you are in the film, you will be impatient to know how will be the hostages freed from devastating state of Iran. Cinematography is eye-catching capturing the beautiful city of Istanbul, Turkey. Art direction is great. The 80's period has been shown very-well.
Performances by the cast is good, however, it's Affleck show all the way. Not only is he a good director but a great actor as well. His action spoke more rather than words and was very expressive. Alan Arkin gives in a good support.
Overall, Argo was one of the finest movies produced in 2012. It will be remembered for depicting a true story with accurate details and amazing direction.

Maltese Acrobats
The adorable R was in a charity shop today and saw, for sale, a photo album. Flicking through it he came across these fantastic photos of the young men of Malta disporting themselves on the quay-side in Sleima in the 1950s. Instantly R knew what he had to do and he emptied his pennies onto the counter and demanded that he should be allowed to take the album away at once for his husband... and so he did... bless 'im.
More from Malta a little later as well...

About: Luton & Dunstable Hospital Luton & Dunstable Hospital Luton LU4 0DZ
Posted by Keely O'Brien (as ),
What I liked
What could be improved
Anything else?
I gave birth to my first son in may 2009 and all in all it was a horrible experience. firstly there were no beds in the delivery suite (which can maybe be expected) so i gave birth on the ward luckily they gave me my own room. my son was born at 5:00am and he wasnt cleaned up/bathed until about 9:00am the following morning even though i had asked them to. as a young mum i was scared and they offered me no support whatsoever after i have given birth, no advice or anything. this was discomforting as my son wouldnt take his bottle and didnt know what else to do. also i stayed in my dirty birth sheets and gown until i left at 11:00am the following morning. i was utterly disgraced with the quality of care i had been given. i would not use this hospital again, would reccomend any other just not this one.
Response from Luton & Dunstable Hospital 7 years ago
We try at all times to avoid delivering on the wards, but unfortunately there are rare times when due to bed capacity this cannot be avoided. Equally if the labour is very quick it is often safer not to move the mother-to-be. However, if a mother delivers on the ward we try to move her into a single room for privacy as soon as possible after the birth. We hope that both yourself and baby are doing well and would be happy to discuss any concerns with you if you care to contact us on 0845 127 0 127.

The photo above is from the McCormack Trail north of Governor's where it turns east and does a loop, ending back somewhat north, on the Bruce Trail. You can then continue on the trail to the west which loops around to the south and rejoins the Bruce Trail (it crosses a horse pasture which is sometimes closed for hikers when being used by the resident horses, which would mean backtracking)
It is a beautiful and varied landscape (above), yet the last gasp of new sprawl below) is encroaching as building of "Valley Heights" (named after a hill was levelled to build on it) continues.
As new houses obliterate the natural area, former access points to trails are fenced off. The easiest access points to this area are either from the north end of Davidson Blvd where there is a signed Bruce Trail side-trail marker; or from Governor's Road, just west of the Conservation Area main entrance, on the north side. You can also access via Newcombe Road, where a small unofficial footpath follows a fence into the woods.

During the week a city bus gets you near the trails (#52 Delaware "Pirie/Governor's)
I've never seen a map of this trail on the CA web site so I made a little google map with some details.

A federal judge has thrown out a civil rights lawsuit filed by the family of a man who was fatally shot by New Orleans police three years ago after a traffic stop in Mid-City.
The lawsuit claimed that former New Orleans police officer Jason Giroir used excessive force against Justin Sipp and racially profiled him when he pulled him over near the corner of North Bernadotte and Toulouse streets.
U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan dismissed the claims, ruling that Giroir acted reasonably and in response to Sipp, who resisted arrest and fired 14 rounds at officers trying to take him into custody. Two other police officers, called to assist Giroir, were wounded in an exchange of gunfire.
"Justin Sipp had given Giroir a false identity during the traffic stop and was actively resisting the officers' instructions to step out of the vehicle," Berrigan wrote in a 16-page ruling. Sipp, the judge noted, had knocked Giroir to the ground and opened fire on three officers.
The traffic stop happened before dawn on March 1, 2012. Sipp was headed to work at a Burger King and caught a ride with his brother, Earl Sipp III.
The Sipps' father has claimed police had no probable cause for the traffic stop; New Orleans police said the Sipps' vehicle had a broken license plate light.
Giroir, working a private shift for the Mid-City Security District, spotted the Sipps' vehicle as it headed north on Canal Street and began to tail it in his marked police car. Once the vehicle stopped at North Bernadotte Street, Giroir turned on his emergency lights and approached the vehicle, asking Earl Sipp III for his license and registration.
Earl Sipp's license had been suspended, according to court documents, and he had an outstanding traffic warrant. Justin Sipp, who claimed to have no identification, also had an active warrant.
As Giroir sought to handcuff Justin Sipp, the man resisted, knocking Giroir to the ground. Rapid gunfire erupted in which two officers were shot. Earl Sipp was shot in the leg, while Justin Sipp was fatally shot.
Ballistics testing did not determine whose rounds struck the Sipps but revealed that Justin Sipp fired 14 rounds, while Giroir fired one .40-caliber round. One of the injured officers, Anthony Mayfield Jr., fired six rounds.
Giroir's attorney, Eric Hessler, portrayed Berrigan's ruling as a vindication of his client, who later resigned from the NOPD after making controversial comments in the wake of the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida.
"There was never any question who the aggressors were," Hessler said. "The judge recognized that the officer was working in the course and scope of his employment and his actions were certainly reasonable, necessary and legal."
Giroir resigned after posting an inflammatory comment — "Act like a Thug Die like one!" — under an online news story about Martin's shooting death, which provoked a national outcry over perceived racial profiling.
Sipp's family, in their lawsuit, sought to show that Giroir had a history of racially biased use of excessive force, pointing to a prior civil case the city settled involving a black woman who accused Giroir of assaulting her and using pepper spray on her during a traffic stop.
Berrigan said that settlement "does not constitute proof that Giroir admitted to any culpability."

There are two truths I've discovered about the teaching profession: you can leave the profession but it will never leave you, and it's exhausting work. However, these truths are not necessarily self-evident. First, while you may be able to leave teaching (physically), as cheesy as it may sound, the work gets into your heart and soul.
One of the most common questions teachers and those who aspire to teach abroad ask, or more likely debate ad infinitum on obscure internet forums, is whether it is better to apply directly to schools or to use the services of a recruiting company to obtain gainful employment teaching abroad.
Recently several unsuspecting https://www.esl101.com/ members lost a significant amount of money to scammers posing as employers in the United Arab Emirates.
Teaching English is the perfect way to travel, learn about other cultures, and to serve other people. However, the age-old dilemma for all future English teachers is: do you pay for an expensive CELTA certification or go for a usually-less-expensive TESL or TEFL course? The answer really depends on your specific situation.
There is just something about being pulled out of your comfort zone by unplanned or unexpected events. Sometimes we find ourselves in such a rut that we do not allow ourselves to be surprised by life.
I often hear other expats saying that these type of holidays are always the most difficult when you find yourself all alone in a foreign country. Not only are you alone but you also do not understand the local language and the way they celebrate holidays is vastly different to what you are used to back home.
(1) The bus stop in the village where two of my travel schools are, is right in front of the little cigarette store where we buy our bus tickets. Today it started snowing and I joined the ajumma's and ajeossi's huddling against the wind and the cold in front of the store.
I teach at four different schools; two elementary and two middle schools. The English levels are pretty low being in the rural areas and not having had many NET's to date. Also, I have one day per week with my kids because they have a Korean English teacher on the days that I am not there.
Having had no prior experience teaching kids before coming to South Korea, I thought that being a mom would at least allow me to ease into teaching a bit more easily.
I knew an expat teacher who lived in the same rural town as I did. She lived just across from her school and was there about six months longer than I had been at the time. One evening we went out for dinner and afterwards decided to grab a beer. We went to a bar where she had never been before and on our way there we passed the Arts and Culture Centre. She asked: "What is this?" I was stunned.
I just wanted to thank you for your amazing website.
I got an email from an employer in China,and after a Skype interview I got the job, and am flying to China in couple of days.
Thank you so much for all your time and energy.

One thing can be said about
the effort to drive District Attorney Paul Gallegos from office.
It's been transparent from the beginning.
As far as we're aware, "Recall
the DA" signs were first brandished publicly on the day
Gallegos went before the Board of Supervisors with his request
for outside legal assistance in his fraud suit against the Pacific
Lumber Co., which he had filed two weeks previous. The chambers
that day 11 months ago were packed, largely with PL managers
and workers. Outside, logging trucks lined the streets in front
of the courthouse. It was here that the signs first appeared.
It didn't take a genius to make the connection: Those calling
for Gallegos' recall were doing so because they were angry about
the PL suit.
But it wasn't long before leaders
of the fledgling recall movement offered a different reason:
Gallegos, they said, deserves to be recalled because he's soft
on crime. It was an absurd claim -- Gallegos had only been on
the job three months, if that. But it made sense politically.
To be successful in ousting the new DA, recall proponents knew
they'd have to have a broader base of support than the timber
industry and its supporters.
The distancing from the suit
was soon taken up by officials with Pacific Lumber, who repeatedly
told the press over the spring and summer that the company would
not get involved in the recall drive.
By the fall it was becoming
clear that another strategy shift was needed. The signature gathering
drive was faltering, and if it failed there wouldn't be any recall
at all.
In stepped the main beneficiary
of a change in leadership at the DA's office -- Pacific Lumber.
CEO Robert Manne, in an Oct. 24 letter to employees, made it
crystal clear that the company was involved in the recall
effort -- to the tune of $40,000. "When the new DA launches
a baseless and politically motivated lawsuit against one of the
largest timber companies in the country, are we to sit back and
allow that to happen?" Manne asked.
Forget about the earlier pledge
to stay above the fray; the goal now was signatures. Out-of-state
signature collectors were brought in and the necessary amount
of John and Jane Hancocks was obtained at the 11th hour. Success,
and it was all due to Pacific Lumber, which directly paid US
Petitions, the firm that led the drive.
But the fact that the defendant
in a fraud suit -- Texas financier Charles Hurwitz, in this case
-- is bankrolling the effort to unseat the district attorney
who is suing him doesn't look good; particularly since Hurwitz
is a controversial figure at best. And so last week another shift:
Manne's declaration that PL "wants its day in court."
In a Jan. 29 letter to the three
replacement candidates, Manne said, "I want to assure you
that our company has no desire to have the next District Attorney
drop this case without a ruling from the Humboldt County Superior
Court." Of course, the ruling Manne wants is for Judge Christopher
Wilson to throw out the case, something PL requested in a formal
motion months ago. That's the day in court he's talking about,
not a full-blown trial.
It's no accident that Manne
only came forward after weeks of polling by a Los Angeles firm,
polling paid for by The Committee to Recall Paul Gallegos, which
of course is being financially supported by PL. While we don't
know the results, we suspect they reveal that people aren't comfortable
with PL's heavy-handed involvement in the recall.
There's another dimension to
all this. Pacific Lumber is undoubtedly bankrolling the recall
because doing so is cheaper than paying attorneys to defend the
company in court. That's true even if the expected television
advertising blitz of the next few weeks pushes the company's
financial stake in the recall as high as $100,000 or even $200,000.
Big money to you and me, but
a small price for Hurwitz if it means Gallegos -- and the lawsuit
-- go away.

Kerfuffle 2: Electric Boogaloo... something stupid like that, as long as we get money I don't give a crap."

- A sale transaction of the house;
- A mortgage deed;
- A will, etc.
- It is private, internal and voluntary.
- Act in law i. e. act of the parties is permitted by law. It also creates transfers or extinguishes of a right by agreement and willingness of two parties with their own pleasure.
- Acts in the law, generally, positive in character.
Act of the Law
- "Act of the law" is the result of judicial and legislative bodies.
- Act of the law also imposes certain duties on every person. Such duties are created for the welfare of the country. Every person has to obey those duties, even though he is not willing.
- It is jus in rem.
- Examples: the transfer of property or of a right of a person dying intestate to his heirs is an act of the law. The transfer of a property of an insolvent to his creditors by a court order, etc.
- It is public, external and involuntary.
- Act of law is created by law itself, it creates transfers or extinguishes of a right by its own operation. It is independent of any consent there to on the part of any individuals shall have to obey what law says.
- Acts of the law, generally, are negative in character.

What's the best way to remove my mother's dog?
My mom with Alzheimer's has been advised by her retirement community that her dog's incontience is a problem. The dog must be removed. What's the best way to remove the dog?
Community Answers
If your mother becomes incontinent, will the community advise you that she must be removed?
Incontinence in an animal may signal a curable condition or a correctable behavioral problem; I suggest that your mother's canine companion be taken to a veterinarian who will be able to advise. Correction might involve something as simple as walking the dog more frequently. If it turns out to be an incurable incontinence due to aging or a neurological condition, diapers or a dog litterbox are options; see handicappedpets.com. Check with animal rescue organizations in your area; it is likely that at least one will have volunteers who work with elders and the disabled to help them keep their animal companions. Volunteer assistance with additional walks, diaper management, dog litterbox, etc., might be an option. The human-animal bond, especially between an elder and a longtime pet, is valuable enough to your mother's health to invest some effort in making it possible for your mother to continue to keep her companion. Leaky people aren't peremptorily discarded; leaky critters shouldn't be, either.
There is medicine for incontinet dogs if its just old age. it helps but sometimes there are accidents. My suggestion is tile floors and throw rugs. If the dogs pee on the throw rugs it is a quick trip to the coin laundry. My brother was ill and had an incontinent dalmation. I got him a stack of throw rugs and made two trips a week to his house to exchange out the soiled throw rugs for the freshly laundered throw rugs. It was a labor of love to do this for him and the dog that he loved so much. I did this for a year and brought my kids at times to help. It taught them the responsibility of taking care of people and pets even when they were not perfect and needing assistance. He would leave the soiled ones outside in a plastic garbage bag and I would pick them up when I was in the area. If gave him extra time with the dog to emotionally prepare for his ultimate demise but it also kept his house clean without burdening him with having to launder the rugs himself.
