Proving Liability in Injury Claims
Counsel from a Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney
The issue of liability in a personal injury claim essentially comes down to the facts about the accident: who, where, what, when, how and why. For example, car accidents have fact patterns that are constant and repeat themselves over and over again.
Here at The Law Offices of Gerald L. Marcus, we can usually determine if our client is not at fault for their injuries, completely at fault, or partially at fault, within a few minutes by discussing the client's situation over the phone or in a brief meeting.
If you are partly at fault for the accident and your injuries, your case will be classified as a comparative negligence case. Determining how to classify premises liability cases, slip and fall cases, or trip and fall accidents is a little more difficult and interesting because these cases generally involve more issues and areas of inquiry. Again, the fact patterns in these cases repeat themselves and our firm has the ability to assess whether our client was free of fault altogether, at fault, or comparatively negligent within a matter of minutes.
Determining Liability: The Process
Dog bite cases are common and usually straightforward in that California law basically provides that the dog owner is strictly liable if his/her dog bites someone. Naturally, there are always extenuating circumstances which must be examined. There are hundreds of other types of factual scenarios giving rise to personal injury claims, but the above are probably the most common.
During part of our analysis, we will ask the prospective client what happened. From there, we take steps to determine what evidence might exist to support the claims of negligence and fault against the other party. This evidence usually exists in the form of witnesses, accident reports, incident reports, traffic collision reports, surveillance videos, scene diagrams, scene photographs, ambulance reports, property damage photographs, repair estimates, injury photographs, and anything else the prospective client might have or know exists. From there, our team will start the investigation process into pinpointing the exact cause of our client's accident and injuries.
With over 30 years of experience in this unique area of law, we are highly skilled at building strong personal injury cases that prove liability under the law. Our experience equips us to provide timely and effective solutions for clients who have suffered all types of personal injury accidents, so call today for a free consultation.
Protecting Your Right to Compensation
Insurance companies will almost always deny or dispute liability by trying to prove that the accident was your fault and therefore NOT covered under their insurance. They will delay your claim, they will interpret favorable police reports unfavorably, they will look for witnesses that don't exist, and they will run a claim industry index on you in order to discredit you based on old prior claims that have nothing at all to do with the subject accident.
If the insurance company is unsuccessful in outright denying liability, they will dispute liability and argue that you were comparatively negligent. For example, they will argue that you were speeding, or that you could have avoided your car accident by paying better attention. Whatever your specific injury may entail, you must realize that the insurance company will arbitrarily attempt to apply an apportionment of liability against you.
By understanding the anatomy of an injury claim and by enlisting the help of a qualified Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, you have the best chance at recovering the financial compensation you deserve.

Think Pink (now gender neutral)
I remember the high school days were rough. Besides struggling with algebra, geometry and calc (which I gave up on), there was that awful experience of finding out who I was. I wasn't good enough to be involved in any sport. Band was an opening (tenor sax for four years) but dealing with everyday issues was hard. Was my hair cut right? Were my clothes acceptable? When the girls talked about me was it during a laugh session? As I said, like every other high school kid, I was unsure of myself.
The big no-no was wearing the color purple on a Thursday. Although there was no way of verifying it, the color purple signified a life style that no one wanted to be associated with in high school. The homophobic titles given out during that time are familiar to one and all. So purple and pink ended up being the colors guys avoided at all costs.
We found that bullying in our son's grade school and high school classes also followed the same path. Because of that, having that history in our lives, we determined that we wanted to spare all our customers' sons that same fate. So we began asking for the gender of the child to insure that the boys never received pink.
Recently we received the following email from a parent. I'm including it in full.
"Dear SchoolPak,
I have been a loyal customer since 2007. I love the convenience and quality of the products you offer! Thank you for providing such a valuable service.
I'm reaching out to provide some unsolicited feedback. I would like to encourage you to stop asking the gender of your students, and start considering all supplies to be gender neutral. My son identifies as male and likes pink. My daughter indentifies as female and likes blue and green. My son has a friend, who is female, but identifies as male – what supplies would you provide in this case?
If colors are important to your ordering process, perhaps you could change your form to ask what their favorite colors(s) are.
I don't want to be crude, but unless the supplies you are offering involve using one's private parts, there is simply no reason to ask the boy/girl question!
Sara's right. The world has changed and it's time for us to change as well. We'll be setting up all new schools online without the gender question and we'll be going through those already online to remove it there as well.
Pink has become the anti-cancer color, used by athletes around the world to show their support for the efforts of organizations such as the Susan Koman for the Cure Organizaition. As a family that has dealt with breast cancer, I can tell you that pink is a great color for everyone. I know our grandson loves it.
Thanks, Sara. We're happy to listen to our customers and make changes when necessary.

You are here
I had the distinct honor of being present at the White House for the announcement of the winners of the annual Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators and President's Environmental Youth Award. These awards recognize outstanding student leaders in environmental stewardship and K-12 teachers employing innovative approaches to environmental education in their schools. Seventeen teachers and sixty students from across the nation were honored for their contributions to environmental education and stewardship.
As an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow, I know the immense value that educators bring to making an impact on society. Every day, at the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, we work with teachers and students to engage them in energy literacy, finding new energy education resources, and gaining skills needed to land clean energy jobs. The winners of the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators and President's Environmental Youth Award are inspirational in their success in education, and we celebrate their outstanding work.
Climate change was a clear and present theme in the projects of both teachers and students. As guest speaker and 2009 winner Apoorva Rangan noted "Carbon dioxide emissions are local, but their effects are global. There are over 190 countries on this globe; their boundaries are fixed, but the air that we breathe is very much shared. No matter who contributes how much to the CO2 burden, people of all nations suffer together." Since receiving her award she has launched solar energy programs for rural schools in India and Haiti.
The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy should be particularly proud of all the students' efforts that incorporate clean energy. Highlights of energy related student efforts include:
- Deepika Kurup of New Hampshire created a novel light-weight photo catalytic composite that harnesses solar energy for water purification.
- Luke Colley from Sleepy Hollow High School investigated the economic and scientific feasibility of producing ethanol from apples to power cars in New York State
- A group of 15 students from Port Townsend High School in Washington State successfully conducted a waste and energy audit of their school and then designed actions to reduce their schools' carbon footprint.
A host of the teacher awardees efforts also included the teaching and utilization of renewable energy technologies. Highlights of teacher awardees include:
- Angela Whittaker from Cumberland Virginia developed her own Education for Sustainability Program, which consists of hands-on courses in career and technical education - including a course on integrating renewable energies in the design of green building.
- Paul Ritter of Pontiac Illinois, developed units of interdisciplinary study that foster collaboration among students and the community to tackle real-world environmental issues. Just one of the issues Paul and his students are working to address is developing a comprehensive plan to lower the energy consumption of the entire city of Pontiac.
- Bret Sutterly of Turlock, California, received his award for 35 years of dedication in the growth of environmental education and stewardship in his local community and school. Bret uses grant opportunities to develop new programs such as the creation of the Walnut Energy Center which educates students on energy using functioning solar and wind arrays.
The amazing work of students and teachers was truly inspiring for all in attendance. If you wish to be inspired as I was, I recommend you give all the winners' accomplishments a read.

Arkansas Steel Improves Process with Manufacturing Analytics
On the Right Track
Stretched across the U.S. is over 150,000 miles of rail, across which moves more freight than any other system worldwide. The vast majority of the system is managed by private organizations responsible for maintenance and improvement projects.
Central to these projects is the railroad tie plate – a thick, steel panel that sits on the track between the rail and its support. Tie plates help to hold rails upright and stabilize their position, extending the lifetime of tracks.
All major North American railroads depend on tie plates, and most turn to Arkansas Steel Associates.
In order to produce these plates, scrap steel arrives daily at the Arkansas Steel receiving dock. Scrap steel is then melted, cast into a particular length and shape, finished according to the customer's recipe, then delivered to the customer from the shipping yard. Each stage of the process relies on heavy-duty industrial equipment – such as the 50-ton per hour arc furnace, 100-million BTU gas-fired reheat furnace, and a 1,000-ton press – that require an operator's full attention.
Losing the Train of Thought
In 1994, Arkansas Steel began to overhaul their plant control systems. Hardwired relay controls were too difficult to maintain and nearly impossible to modify – single changes took a number of hours to complete and were prone to human error. The Allen-Bradley® family of controllers was selected for their plant. By 2006, Arkansas Steel was running the advanced Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® controllers from Rockwell Automation.
While updating the plant's control layer, IT teams at Arkansas Steel began considering additional opportunities to improve operations. What they found was an issue with workforce utilization: Operators' attention was divided between the process of creating tie plates and handling data.
"Thousands of hours were lost each year while employees manually created reports for their supervisors' morning meetings," said Chet Pinkerton, senior IT manager at Arkansas Steel. "And during the process, attention was split between the steel and collecting data. Everyone needed to drop their pen and paper so they could focus on the task at hand."
Arkansas Steel began to investigate the impact of this issue across their process, starting with the melt shop. Operators were struggling to accurately track data while simultaneously supervising the melting steel and adjusting for proper chemistry. Too frequently, the quality of the reports suffered.
Another opportunity to improve the process was identified around transferring the steel from the melt shop to the ladle metallurgy-control system (LMS) and then to the caster area. Reliable, live process data was not available to operators downstream. Taking the time to contact operators in the area preceding their process for information was too slow for the time frame set by molten steel.
Operators at the caster, for instance, lacked real-time insight into the steel's temperature. At times, this led to the temperature dropping enough that the caster couldn't use the steel and would send it back for a reheat. Transporting and reheating the steel would take time and energy that could have been spent on the next batch.
Removing Tunnel Vision
Once opportunities at the plant's melt shop, LMS and caster were identified, Arkansas Steel selected a manufacturing analytics platform to improve workforce utilization by automating data collection, analysis and reporting. And to automate these time-consuming, manual processes, the IT team selected the company that had already helped to simplify their control layer: Rockwell Automation.
"We trusted the data coming from the ControlLogix controllers, so our challenge was to automatically put actionable information into the hands of operators, supervisors and maintenance when it was most useful," said Pinkerton. "The services team from Rockwell Automation became an extension of Arkansas Steel, deploying the solution, and integrating the control and information layers."
Data about each batch is sent directly from the controller to a historian. FactoryTalk® VantagePoint® EMI software from Rockwell Automation then transforms the data from disparate sources into digestible information. Freed from handling data, operators can now focus on the process while gaining a real-time view into the batch that arrives next. And each morning, managers automatically receive a heat sheet report detailing the work that took place the previous day.
The heat sheet report has been quickly adopted by supervisors as a reliable tool for confirming production quality. The report provides a single view into the melt shop, LMS and caster. By contextualizing multiple data sources, the report provides comprehensive information about the process, and any additions of chemistries and alloys required by specific recipes.
Supervisors quickly realized this manufacturing analytics platform has powerful continuous improvement capabilities. The software's system-level analytics tools allow users to drill down into specific trends, check production data and track batch progress. And customizable dashboards simplify reviewing data from different sources, helping identify solutions to any issue that arose.
Pinkerton knew reducing manual reporting alone would be of value across the plant, but the ability to more easily analyze plant-level data solidified his commitment to extend the platform.
"Once we saw the success of operators, supervisors and maintenance teams who used FactoryTalk VantagePoint software, there was no afterthought about applying our learnings to the rest of the plant," continued Pinkerton. "Productivity gains from automated reporting are important, but the trustworthy, easy-to-access analytics help us meet our real KPI yield."
Much like the supervisors who were involved early in the process, those in the shipping yard also needed access to the information solution. Their operators were physically taking a bucket full of tie plates, and calculating the weight and recording features.
By extending the information solution to the shipping area, managers can now check every piece of information relevant to delivering products at the rate and quality promised to customers. Operators no longer need to manually track data. Each morning, supervisors immediately know the details of tie plates that move through the yard.
Tracking Results
When Arkansas Steel first deployed the manufacturing intelligence platform, annual yield was between 86 to 87 percent. By reducing the manual collection and reporting of data, and gaining the ability to quickly identify issues, yield has increased to an average of between 89 and 90 percent.
The morning heat-sheet report has been a major contributor to the improved yield. Managers take the analysis of what happened during the previous day and identify issues or where there is room for improvement. Nearly every week a new opportunity area is identified.
One such opportunity, which alone ended up saving the company thousands of dollars, was specifying where a batch didn't meet a customer's recipe. Casting supervisors found the discrepancy and worked with the quality team to identify precisely where and when chemical additions took the steel off formula. They were able to modify the process by the very next batch to limit scrap.
Arkansas Steel is also finding that improved communication between operators is reducing downtime. For example, when the caster calls for a batch at a specific temperature, they can easily verify that the steel is at the required temperature. By having access to this information, operators reduce the risk of reheats, and when a reheat is required, it can be requested before the transfer is even complete.
The results mentioned above are specific to Arkansas Steel Associates' use of Rockwell Automation products and services in conjunction with other products. Specific results may vary for other customers.

Ipamorelin 2000mcg
Ipamorelin is peptide that consists of five amino acids. It is occasionally referred to by the alternate names Ipamorelin Acetate, IPAM, and NNC-26-0161. It contains a molecular formula of C38H49N9O5, and a molecular mass of 711.85296.
Ipamorelin at a Glance
According to scientific study that has been based on animal test subjects, Ipamorelin's functionality is linked to the pituitary gland and the liver. It has been determined that the peptide works with the pituitary gland to increase secretions related to growth while simultaneously blocking secretions known to block the release of growth secretions. The peptide's work with the liver induces an uptick in the expression of IGF-1. This secretion is noted to have high anabolic properties, which enables it to play a key role in the overall growth and repair of muscles and tissues. These interactions ultimately enable an animal test subject to experience an elevated measure of functionality relating to the growth and repair throughout its body.
Conceivable Benefits of Ipamorelin
Because of the interactions that Ipamorelin has with the pituitary gland and the liver, scientific study based on animal test subjects has been able to link several theoretical benefits with the peptide's presence. Most of these benefits relate to the notion of several elevated processes, such as a higher rate of burning through body fat, joint rejuvenation, an improvement of skin tone, an increase in the density of bone mass, and a strengthening of connective tissue.
For Scientific Research Only
Although there has been an extensive amount of research and study conducted in relation to Ipamorelin, it needs to be noted that all of the research that has been conducted and the subsequent results from such research has been solely built around the scientific study based on animal test subjects. Any findings or observations that relate to Ipamorelin should only be contained to the strict confines of a controlled environment such as a medical research facility or a laboratory.

Barrow Collection Left Chaise Sectional Photo
If you're looking for a new sofa for your living room or space, Left chaise sectional is definitely something you'll want to check out. They offer so much comfort and flexibility they can be perfect.
Left chaise sectional this offers much more flexibility than a traditional seating arrangement, sectional sofa with a seat into the main. The 'seat' is kind of a long ottoman chair that actually came from Egypt (probably better to smoke a water pipe). In any case, it is clear the Egyptians understand how to relax.
For practical reasons, this means you can lift your tired feet and sat with his legs on the chaise – may pose perfect for reading your favorite novels and enjoy a good TV program. If you have children, they just like to lie there and watch TV.
Even these seats which offer a great way to relax and unwind, while still in the midst of the family against the lonely / bedroom and yelled to Mom every five minutes to come up with juice / water / popcorn, left chaise sectional usually can be placed either to the right or to the left of other seats to accommodate the space.

Telstra Reaffirms Support For Marriage Equality After Retreating From AME Ad
Yesterday, telco giant Telstra quietly backed off from an ad supporting same-sex marriage alongside the Australian Marriage Equality organisation.
The company, despite not asking for its logo to be removed from the AME ad, which was circulated in May last year, has admitted to withdrawing from the public debate due to so-called pressures from the Catholic Church, a big spender with the business.
The Archdiocese of Sydney business manager Michael Digges wrote to corporations whose logos were openly featured on a full-page AME ad, Telstra included, questioning whether said companies should be "participating in such an important matter".
"For corporations to speak on such issues on behalf of shareholders, employees, clients/customers, suppliers and other stakeholders is indeed overstepping their purpose and is to be strongly resisted," he said.
In a release circulated yesterday, the Church stated, "Digges today repeated his serious concerns about business organisations promoting and identifying themselves with campaigns on social issues purporting to be on behalf of all employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders".
"It is misleading to say the Archdiocese threatened in any way a boycott of companies included in the campaign."
Telstra CEO Andy Penn has now made an official statement, which was issued to B&T this morning, reaffirming its commitment to the same-sex marriage debate.
"Following yesterday's marriage equality debate around Telstra, I want to be clear about Telstra's perspective as our long track record in diversity and inclusion was generally overlooked," Penn said.
"We clearly need to make this simple statement: Telstra supports marriage equality as part of the great importance we place on diversity and standing against all forms of discrimination.
"Equally we recognise there are many and varied views and if we are all truly accepting of diversity, there should be room made for all of them.
"While Telstra continues to support Australian Marriage Equality and has not changed that position, we have made a decision not to publicly participate in the debate further. This is because the proposed plebiscite process gives everyone an opportunity to contribute and out of respect, it is important we allow them to voice their own views.
"However, this position was interpreted by some as us abandoning our tradition of supporting diversity and inclusion, be it in the community or in our workplace. This could not be further from the truth."
According to yesterday's statement, Telstra has no future plans to participate in public debates surrounding the issue, preferring to leave its customers to make up their own minds.
B&T contacted the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney but had not heard back at time of publishing.

We love what we do! We're moms, teachers, dancers, friends daughters and sisters. We love working with all kinds of kids, meeting new families and seeing our studio family grow.
Growing up at Jeanne's gave us a home away from home, a bigger circle of friends and a place to be challenged in our talents.
Teachers at Jeanne's have always been focused on reaching out to individuals. They recognize that not everyone has the same strengths and brilliantly spotlight, encourage and challenge each dancer based on their individual strengths/weaknesses.
We learned much more than correct dance technique from our combined 30 years as students, growing up at Jeanne's. We gained confidence to be able to tackle any situation or challenge and determination to work hard and be successful!
Most dance studios look alike on the surface. But there really is no place like Jeanne's School of Dance! We know you'll LOVE being here as much as we do!

Owning a two wheeler, especially bike, is like a dream come true. For that, you have to invest a huge amount of money. Hence, it is necessary to insure your two wheeler against any unforeseen crisis which leads to loss or damage of it. The insured has to take care of all documents and procedure related to the policy.
Now, problem arises at the time of claiming for your insurance amount. In case, your two wheeler is damaged in an accident and your claim is rejected by the insurer, then it is your responsibility to find out the reasons for its rejection.
Ways that would make sure that the insurance claim will not be rejected
There are some reasons which will reject your insurance claim and it's our responsibility to avoid those mistakes so that your claim is not rejected. Following are the ways to make sure that your insurance claim is not rejected even in case of two wheeler insurance renewal:
- Avoid Repairs of your two wheeler without notifying the insurer
It is the most common mistake that is made by most of us. In case you have modified your two wheeler and the same is not insured in your policy, then the insurer will immediately reject your claim. If after an accident you have repaired the damages before informing the insurer, your insurer will not be able to find out the actual damages on your bike. As a result, they can reject your claim. Therefore, you must always first inform the insurer about the incident so that they are able to investigate the damage caused to the two wheeler and calculate the claim amount accordingly.
- Avoid Drinking and Driving-
This is the worst way to get your claims rejected. If an accident has taken place and the rider is detected under the influence of drugs or alcohol at that time, then the insurer can immediately reject the claim.
In smaller accidents, you can not reveal the fact that you were drunk while driving. However, in major accidents, tests at the hospitals clearly reveal drunken driving.
Insurance companies are very strict about this clause. If you were driving under the influence of alcohol, your claim would surely be rejected! Drunken driving not only risks your life, but other innocent person's lives as well. So, drive carefully and definitely not after a drink.
- Valid Driving License-
Another reason for rejection of your claim is having invalid driving license. Driving license needs revalidation from time to time. It's not like a PAN or a Voter's identity card which is eternally valid. After a Driving License expires, it needs to be duly renewed.
Thus, if you meet with an accident, when your driving license is not valid, then your insurance claim would surely be rejected. Insurers are very compliant with this clause. Copy of the valid driving license of the person driving the vehicle, at the time of the accident needs to be produced as a claim paper along with the form, etc.
Also, keep in mind that a fake license can also be one of the reason for the rejection of your claim. So make sure that all your documents are proper and legally valid.
- Trying to claim expired insurance
It isn't even logically possible to claim on expired insurance policy. It is possible that you had to file for a claim when your two wheeler insurance policy was just about to expire. Make sure that your two wheeler insurance renewal is always done well within the expiry date. Your new insurance policy will start only after your older policy has expired. So, it is not that you would have lost some days of insurance cover from the previous policy. Just keep a one-month prior reminder for two wheeler insurance renewal. Your cover will be consistent and you'll escape the hassle of untimely claims and rejection.
- Personal Usage only-
Personal vehicles cannot be used commercially. If your vehicle is used for commercial purposes, then a separate insurance policy needs to be availed.
Thus, if your vehicle is found to be employed commercially at the time of the accident, the claim is bound to be rejected! So, ensure that your personal vehicle and two wheeler is used only for personal purpose and not engaged in any other activity.
Even at the time of your two-wheeler insurance renewal, all details need to be correctly specified so as to ensure that the vehicle is used for personal usage only!
- Claim Intimation within timelines-
It is compulsory to inform your insurer about the claim within 48 hours to 72 hours, if not done, then the insurance company will reject your claim. Furthermore, if your two wheeler has been damaged due to some mishap and still you continue riding it, which further damages the vehicle, then your claim will be rejected automatically by the insurer.
- Non Transfer of Ownership for Insurance company-
Always keep in mind that the insurance policy is purchased in name of owner and not the vehicle. So, if you buy a second-hand two wheelers, ensure that you do the necessary formalities in order to transfer the ownership for the insurance policy once your vehicle is registered in your name. Otherwise the insurance will become null and void.
Therefore, buying a two-wheeler policy is a good way to protect yourself from unaccounted expenses. But merely buying a policy is not enough. You have to ensure that the two wheeler insurance renewal happens well in time and that too with the right insurance company.

Method of laser marking
A pigment layer is provided on a surface of an article on which a marking is to be formed and is irradiated with patterned laser light to change internal molecular structure of pigment to thereby change its color. The marking can be multicolored by a suitable selection of pigment and laser energy density.
Latest Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki Kaisha Patents:
- Randomly accessible visual information recording medium and recording method, and reproducing device and reproducing method
- Randomly accessible visual information recording medium and recording method, and reproducing device and reproducing method
The present invention relates to a method of laser marking which is used to form on a surface of an article a sharp mark by means of laser beam at high speed.
In forming marks such as a symbol mark, configuration of product and manufacturing data of product, etc., on a surface of an article, it has been usual to use the so-called mask transfer technique by which a plurality of symbols and/or characters are transferred onto such surface simultaneously at high speed or to engrave the surface up to several microns by scanning a laser beam along symbols and/or character to be marked thereon.
Particularly, in the conventional marking method using a laser beam, a portion of the product on which the marking is to be performed by local laser-heating and evaporation of material of the product must be heated to a temperature at which such local evaporation takes place. The temperature depends upon the material of the product and it is about 500.degree. C. when the material is of plastics and about 2000.degree. C. when the material is ceramics.
Therefore, in order to achieve such high temperature of the local portion of the product, an output power of a laser must be large enough. However, when the product is, for example, an electronic component such as a semiconductor device, there is a strong possibility of thermal degradation thereof due to local heating by the laser beam and dust and/or smoke produced during the laser marking may contaminate the electronic component.
Since the marking is performed by the local evaporation and/or burning of the material, the smoothness of the surface of the product may be degraded and the sharpness of the mark formed thereon may become degraded sometimes.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of laser marking by which a temperature rise of a product having a surface on which the marking is performed is restricted and a reduction of the required laser power is realized while the sharpness of the mark is acceptable.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of laser marking by which a mark to be provided is multicolored so that the mark itself can be easily identified.
According to the present invention, a surface of a product on which the laser marking is performed is coated with a layer of pigment whose color is changed when its temperature exceeds a predetermined value by painting a surface portion of the material or by mixing such pigment into the material of the product and the marking is performed by irradiating the surface with a laser beam along a path defining a desired mark so that the latter mark is provided as a portion of the surface whose color is changed.
Pigment to be used in this invention changes its color by a change of internal structure thereof at or higher than a predetermined temperature. Pigment may be selected from a group consisting of a Hg compound, cobalt compound, iron compound, copper compound, nickel compound, lead compound, vanadium compound and any mixture thereof.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus for performing the present method;
FIG. 2 illustrates an operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another apparatus for performing the present method;
FIG. 4 is a further apparatus for performing the present method.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In FIGS. 1 and 2, in which FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a TEACO2 laser marking apparatus suitable for the mask transfer technique and FIG. 2 illustrates an operation of the marking apparatus shown in FIG. 1, a reference numeral 1 depicts a laser oscillator for transmitting a marking laser beam 2. The laser beam 2 is directed to a reflection mirror 3 from which it is directed to a condenser lens 4. The beams condensed by the condenser lens 4 is passed through a mask 5 having a marking pattern 5a to a surface of a product 6 on which the marking pattern 5a, in this illustration, a letter A, is formed.
A shutter 1a is provided in a laser path between the laser oscillator 1 and the reflection mirror 3 and the mask 5 is housed in a mask holder 7. The condenser lens 4 is housed in a condenser portion 8. The product 6 to be marked is shown in this figure as an electro-magnetic switch and a portion thereof on which the mark is to be provided is shown by a reference numeral 9.
Describing the present method in more detail, the marking portion 9 of the source of the product 6 is preliminarily coated with a layer of pigment whose color is changed by its internal structure at or higher than a predetermined temperature. The coating can be acievied by painting the portion with the pigment. Alternatively, it may be possible to mix the pigment into the material of the product and thereafter to mold the latter. The latter method may be useful when the product is of plastic material.
Then, the positional relation between the laser oscillator 1, the reflection mirror 3, the mask plate 5, the condenser lens 4 and the product 6 is regulated such that the surface of the product 6 on the side of the condenser lens 4 is faced to the mask plate 5. Then, the surface portion 9 of the product 6 is irradiated with the laser beam 2 from the laser oscillator 1 through the mask plate 5 having the marking pattern 5a and the condenser lens 4. With this irradiation, pigment in the portion irradiated with the laser beam is heated thereby to the predetermined temperature or higher immediately and changes its internal structure and hence its color, resulting in a mark having a different color from its background color.
As to an irreversible or semi-irreversible change of internal structure and hence color of the pigment due to a temperature increase by the laser irradiation, there are two types, one being pigment whose molecules such as H.sub.2 O and CO.sub.2 etc. are discharged therefrom by the heating at or higher than the predetermined temperature so that it is thermally decomposed to change the molecular structure permanently to thereby provide a different color from its original color and the other being pigment whose crystalline structure and hence color is changed by such as glass transition due to the increased temperature.
A classification of pigments used in embodiments are given in Table 1 and temperatures at which the pigments in Table 1 change their colors and the colors changes are given in Table 2. In Table 2, other temperatures and color changes than typical are also given for reference. It should be noted that the embodiments numbered 6 to 20 are color changes due to thermal decomposition.

The inventors have conducted various experiments on each of the embodiments listed in Tables 1 and 2 and those conducted on the embodiment No. 6 will be described in detail as an example.
In the experiments conducted on the embodiment No. 6, the pigment used was a paint containing powder of Co.sub.3 (PO.sub.4) 8H.sub.2 O, particle size being 2 .mu.m or smaller, and having the following constituents:
______________________________________ CO.sub.3 (PO.sub.4)8H.sub.2 O 30 wt % tarc 4 wt % ethylcellose lacquer 33 wt % (resin component 15 wt %) thinner 33 wt % ______________________________________
A surface of a phenol resin plate of 5 mm thick which was used as an example of the product was sprayed with the above mentioned paint to form a pigment layer of about 30 .mu.m thick thereon. The phenol resin plate having the pigment layer was dried at room temperature for about 24 hours. The resultant product was irradiated with a short pulse laser beam of pulse width of 1 .mu.m or narrower from the TEACO.sub.2 laser oscillator 1 shown in FIG. 1 and color changes of portions of the surface thereof were observed. When the energy density of the laser beam at the pigment layer was 1.0 Joule/cm.sup.2, the original pink color of the pigment layer was changed to a blue color uniformly and 16 numerals of alternate gothic type each being 1.2 mm tall (at transfer time) punched in a copper plate mask disposed in the mask holding portion 7 were sharply transferred onto the pigment layer. When the energy density of the laser beam was 0.6 Joule/cm.sup.2 or smaller, there were incomplete local color changes produced in each numeral and a reading of the transferred numerals became difficult. It is believed that the observed color change is due to the phenomenon that a portion of eight water molecules in cobalt phosphate is made free by the laser irradiation and it is changed to another cobalt phosphate including an unknown amount of water which exhibits blue color and is expressed by (Co.sub.3 (PO.sub.4).sub.2 XH.sub.2 O (1<X<7)), according to the following reaction: ##STR1## The assumption of the range of X is due to the fact that cobalt phosphate having no water of crystallization exhibits red color.
For a comparison purpose, identical phenol resin plates to the plate used in the above experiments and having no pigment coating were irradiated with laser beams from the same apparatus as that used in the above experiments, with the laser energy density being varied to find the critical laser energy density necessary to clearly read out the numerals transferred onto the pigment layer. According to the latter experiments, the critical energy density was 4 Joule/cm.sup.2 and it was possible to read out the numerals clearly when the energy density was more than the critical value at which the numerals transferred onto the black pigment layer were exhibited by gray white and which were not clear with respect to the black background.
Other embodiments which employ iron compounds as the pigments and which are not shown in Table 1 are represented by the following reaction formula: ##STR2##
As mentioned hereinbefore, the laser marking method according to the present invention utilizes the change in internal structure of the pigment by a temperature increase thereof due to laser beam irradiation. Therefore, there are no problems of dust and/or smoke which are undesirable for the product to be marked and the mark itself is formed without engraving on the product surface. The contrast of the mark with respect to the background can be made very high.
Depending upon the kind of pigment, it is possible to restrict the temperature at which the color change occurs to a relatively low value, e.g., 70.degree. C. and therefore the present marking can be performed even for the product which is thermally unstable. Further, as mentioned previously, the laser power to be used in this invention can be remarkably reduced compared with the conventional method which uses the local evaporation or burning of material forming the product.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a laser marking apparatus of a laser dot impact marking type which is composed of a combination of a pulse laser and a polygonal mirror and FIG. 4 shows a modification of the apparatus in FIG. 3, in which the the polygonal mirrors is replaced by a pair of scanning mirror 3a swingeable in a direction A and a scanning mirror B swingable in a direction B are provided and are program-controlled by control signals 21 from a controller 20.
In FIG. 3, the polygonal mirror 3c is rotated while the product 6 to be marked is moved in a direction C so that the product 6 is scanned in a direction orthogonal to the direction C.
With the apparatus shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the present method can be effectively performed. While the TEACO.sub.2 laser is described herein as the source of the laser beam, other lasers, such as an Nd:YAG laser, can be also used for this invention with the same effect.
In another experiment, pigment having the following constituents was used, with which a plate which is identical to the phenol plate used in the previously mentioned experiment was spray-coated to a thickness of about 30 .mu.m and, after being dried at room temperature for about 24 hours, the plate was subjected to laser irradiation in the same way as in the previous experiment:
ammonium metavanadate(NH.sub.4 VO.sub.3): 25 wt%
tarc: 4 wt%
ethylcellose lacquer: 33 wt%
(resin component: 15 wt%)
thinner: 38 wt%
It was observed that, when energy density of a short pulse laser, pulse width being 1 .mu.m or narrower, from the TEACO.sub.2 laser 1 is from 1.1 Joule to 1.8 Joule/cm.sup.2, the original color, white, was changed to brown uniformly and 16 alternate gothic numerals punched in the copper mask 5 were clearly transferred. When laser energy density was 0.8 Joule/cm.sup.2 or smaller, transferred numerals were locally faded causing the reading thereof to be difficult. It is believed that the color change is realized due to the phenomenon that water molecules and ammonia molecules are discharged from ammonium metavanadate according to the following reaction, resulting in vanadium pentoxide: ##STR3## With the laser energy density increased from 1.8 Joule/cm.sup.2 to 5.0 Joule/cm.sup.2, the original white color was changed to black uniformly. Thus it is possible to provide a multi-colored marking by selecting pigment and laser energy density suitably.
Another experiment was conducted by using nickel chloride hexamethylene-tetramine (NiCl.sub.2 2C.sub.6 H.sub.12 N.sub.4 10H.sub.2 O) as pigment with the following composition:
nickel chloride hexamethylene-tetramine: 25 wt%
tarc: 5 wt%

An aluminum plate was coated with a layer of pigment, about 30 .mu.m thick, and, after being dried under the same conditions as those used in the previous experiment, a portion thereof was irradiated for 1.5 m sec. with CO.sub.2 gas laser energy density of 250 W/cm.sup.2. With this laser irradiation, the original color, green, was changed to yellow green. Another portion of the pigment layer was irradiated for 3.0 m sec. with a laser energy density of 250 W/cm.sup.2. The color of the latter portion was changed from its original green color to light blue violet. It is believed that this color change is due to discharge of water of crystallization as shown in the following reactions: ##STR4## Thus it is possible to provide a multi-colored marking.
As mentioned herein before, it is possible, according to the present invention, to provide a mono-colored or multi-colored marking by a suitable selection of pigment and laser energy density.
1. A method of marking an article surface comprising the steps of
- coating the article surface with pigment or mixing the pigment into the material of the article, wherein said pigment is capable of changing its original color to another color at or higher than a predetermined temperature, and
- irradiating portions of the pigment coating with a marking laser light, whereby the irradiated portions are marked by the another color,
- wherein said pigment is a combination of a plurality of different pigments providing different colors at different temperatures, respectively, and said marking laser is a mixture of a corresponding number of laser beams having different energy densities necessary to heat said article surface to said different temperatures, respectively, whereby said irradiated portions of said article surface are marked with said different colors.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pigment contains material capable of changing its original color to another color by a change of its internal molecular structure caused by heat given by said laser light.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said pigment is selected from a group consisting of Hg compound, cobalt compound, potassium cobaltienitride, copper compound, nickel compound, lead compound, iron compound, vanadium compound and any mixture thereof.

About Book
From AudioFile
[Editor's Note: The following is a combined review with LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST and HENRY VIII.]--Two of these productions in the Arkangel series are good, and the third is truly exceptional. LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST concerns ascetic and naive young men who renounce the company of women only to meet their perfect mates soon after. Alex Jennings and Emma Fielding are superior as the lovers Berowne and Rosaline. The satire of courtiers and fops is also handled well, though ongoing wordplay is something of an acquired taste. The only lapse is the intrusive sound effects in outdoor scenes (flies buzzing, birds chirping). The fine production of HENRY VIII, about the king's effort to marry Anne Boleyn, infuses much more life into this stately, pageant-like play than one might expect from the text. Clive Brill, who directs the entire series, orchestrates a lifelike sound design that even includes the murmurs of agreement or dismay of listening characters. These undertones function like reaction shots in a movie. In HENRY VIII, they clarify the various court factions and intrigues. In THE WINTER'S TALE, Shakespeare's late romance about jealousy and time's restorative power, they add subtlety to an emotionally charged production. The voices in this recording are richly infused with personality, especially those of John Gielgud and Alex Jennings, who is a comic triumph as the rogue Autolycus. Gielgud performs the 32-line part of Time the Chorus, and his age-enfeebled voice resonates hauntingly. Clive Brill and his cast show why THE WINTER'S TALE has such an impressive stage history in as fine a recording of Shakespeare as you're likely to encounter.

The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Play in five acts by William Shakespeare, produced in 1610-11 and published in the First Folio of 1623. One of Shakespeare's final plays, The Winter's Tale is a romantic comedy with elements of tragedy and is noted for its use of realism. The plot is based on the play Pandosto (1588) by Robert Greene. Leontes, the king of Sicilia, jealously believes that his faithful wife Hermione has committed adultery with his old friend Polixenes, the king of Bohemia. After various mishaps, all three are ultimately reconciled after the wedding of Florizel (son of Polixenes) and Perdita (daughter of Leontes and Hermione).
From the Publisher
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
About the Author

Join us on June 6th and you'll have the chance to taste the most popular varieties of von Stiehl wines and Ahnapee Brewery brews during the event and enjoy the opportunity to buy an exclusive batch each of wine and beer produced just for the event.
What's so special about the steer roast? For starters, the steer is unique.
Spent grains from the brewery are currently being fed to our steer at the Bryersquart Family Farm, one of the top farms in polled genetic cattle in Door County. Bryersquart is family to one of the winery owners. The steer is well cared for by Scott Jeanquart, a genetic expert, who is growing one of Door County's finest herds. His animals and embryos are sold at auction to buyers in the United States and beyond.
Why is the steer roast called the "BrewVino Roast?"
This steer is raised on Ahnapee Brewery spent grains at the Bryersquart Family Farm (Brew). Prior to the roast, the steer is bathed in a cherry wine marinade (Vino). This is a true farm-to-table experience! And not just anybody is preparing this feast. For starters, the steer is processed by Otto's Meats in Luxemburg. von Stiehl Winemaker, Aric Schmiling, prepares the special cherry and red wine marinade. Then, the full carcass is marinated for 24 hours prior to the steer roast. The roast begins with a hot fire at 3 am on the day of the event, with a serving time somewhere between noon and 1 pm.
What does my ticket get me?
The ticket for this event includes admission, the steer plate, bottled water, a commemorative glass and fantastic tunes provided by Suzie & The Detonators.

Should I bring a chair?
It might not hurt. We have seating for around 300, and a capped attendance of 750. People do come and go, so getting a table isn't super hard.
Is it rain or shine?

Life can find you feeling pessimistic, however, a healthy body may help keep your outlook on life bright. There haven't been many studies done yet on how our physical health affects our physiological health, but I am sure it is profound. I became especially interested in that link after reading The Mood Cure by Julia Ross, M.A, who helps treat depression through nutrition.
So a new study that explored the connection between antioxidant serum concentrations and physiological health stuck out to me as very interesting. In this study with 982 people, they wanted to compare the self-reported optimism levels of everyone along with their antioxidant (carotenoids and vitamin E) serum scores. The serum scores where assumed to be higher in those who ate more produce and whole wheat (for the vitamin E). They found that the higher carotenoid levels were correlated to higher optimism (The vitamin E, however, wasn't).
Is it possible that eating fruits and vegetables that contain more antioxidants could make us happier and more optimistic about our future? There needs to be more studies (for example, it could be possible that optimistic people tend to eat more vegetables and fruits, hence the higher antioxidant levels), but personally, I wouldn't be surprised.
I know for myself that when I am eating right, and I feel healthy, it is much easier to be cheerful despite life's curve balls. Bad food, lack of sleep, not getting enough down time, or time with friends, can also hamper my mood and sense of optimism.
While there are a lot of factors for being able to face our futures with cheerfulness, eating more produce couldn't hurt, now could it? The Mood Cure tells us that we need plenty of protein and lots of produce (I think it is something like 8 cups worth a day!) to get the macro and micronutrients we need to stay healthy and happy. This study gives some evidence that the author is on to something
What about you? Do you find that your mood or sense of optimism is affected by how you eat?

But the Ai is new technology in our life it could not do some thing properly in time we can have perfect results.
Ai will used in news feed and other technology but photo editör options is the best option to show people and Facebook pass this test.
Facebook try to developed it interface after losing a huge number of users this was a disaster not only for Facebook but also for account that have lots of followers.
Lots of Facebook page lose their attraction because of they lose their followers, but Facebook says they will promote this kind of accounts.
Until that time Facebook says keep sharing and be active in Facebook do not give up your followers will come back.
Because of Facebook lose its popularity Instagram and YouTube has rised, buy yhat does not means Facebook losed.
Even loosing millions of users with Cambridge Analytica leak Facebook still the biggest social media in the world and also most developed one.
Facebook still one of the best places to advertise something in the Internet. All new technologies used in Facebook and then other social media starts to use it.
As all companies Facebook does not make all new technology it is impossible some times they copy some technologies and the most known one is Snapchat.
