If the person who caused your injury has insurance, an insurance adjuster will gather the pertinent records including medical records, medical bills, wage loss verification and the like in an effort to verify your damages. The insurance company may make you an offer to settle the claim. You may find the offer acceptable and once you accept it, the claim process is over. If you do not receive an acceptable offer, you can proceed with filing a lawsuit.
You should be sure not to sign any documents without prior review by an attorney. You need to attend all scheduled doctor appointments in order to document your injuries. Accurate records should be kept of time you missed from work, medical bills, and property damage repairs. You can document your damages with photographs of your injuries or photos of property damage.
After a lawsuit has been filed, both parties will conduct discovery. Pretrial discovery usually takes about a full year during which time both parties investigate all aspects of the claim. This may include taking oral depositions, obtaining pertinent records, propounding interrogatories, and hiring expert witnesses to obtain more evidence about the claim. During this period of discovery and as the trial date approaches, the parties will exchange settlement offers/demands. A large majority of personal injury claims settle before trial.
Injuries cost money, including time away from work, medical bills, and other complications. Before taking legal action or trying to negotiate a settlement on your own, you should talk to an attorney about your case. You can search LawInfo's legal directory to find a local personal injury attorney about the merits of your case. This one step can level the playing field, help you protect your rights, and put you in the best position for recovering the compensation that you deserve.

Rice is a pretty big deal. There's really no need to justify research on this crop. It feeds literally billions, so the funding will always flow. Would that we knew rice as well as we know C. elgans. After yesterday's travesty of a paper on barley I thought that readers might find a new paper in Nature, A map of rice genome variation reveals the origin of cultivated rice, more interesting and illuminating. The authors used genomic sequencing, of varied coverage (i.e., very deep, repeated, and therefore accurate coverage vs. a single pass which is a very rough draft), to assess the relationship between Asian wild rice and two of the dominant domestic cultivars, indica (long-grain paddy rice) and japonica (short-grain dry cultivation rice). Presumably the two cultivars derive from a wild ancestor, but the details are still being hashed out.
There have long been lines of evidence that the similarities between indica and japonica are due to selection operating upon "domestication genes." In other words, on characteristics relevant for humans these two cultivars were reshaped from their ancestral states, and pushed along a parallel path toward convergence. Not only that, but they exchanged genes exactly on the loci which are implicated in traits associated with domestic rice.
This adaptation of figure 22 in the supplements really shows us what's going on. In terms of total genome content indica is genetically closer to Or-I of the wild rice lineages. This is what you would expect based on the tree which represents genetic distances. But look at the genetic distance distribution for genes which are associated with domestication traits: indica is actually closer to Or-IIIa, the ancestral lineage of japonica. The way to resolve is the model presented above. The two domestic rice cultivars come from different tips of the phylogeny of wild rice. But once domestication ensued specific variants began to sweep across lineages, as a function of their selective value.
Dr. Brian Moore asserts that nothing in evolution makes sense except in the light of phylogeny (you can rephrase Dobzhansky however you want; e.g., nothing in evolution makes sense except in the light of population genetics). And these results from rice certainly illustrate the power of phylogeny. But they also show us that we need to not get locked into the all-powerful grip of one phylogenetic tree to bind them all. Much of the genome of domestic rice cultivars is well defined by the phylogenetic tree above. But, a subset of the genome of particular importance, and evolutionary relevance, is not. This does not mean phylogenetics is not useful; we wouldn't be able to test for domestication genes sweeping through populations via introgression without the explict tree model in mind . It simply means that when considering evolutionary process we need to strike a balance between the contingent straightjacket which descent along a tree imposes, and the power of hybridization to breakdown those barriers and almost deterministically sweep across the tips of the phylogeny and alter phenotypic characters through adaptation on the genomic level.

Cecil Newton, father of UF true freshman quarterback Cameron Newton, said Tuesday both he and his son could handle Cam Newton sitting out this season as a redshirt.
"I really wouldn't have a problem with it," Cecil Newton said. "If we've exhausted all our opportunities to be the No. 2 quarterback, and there's another person who puts the team in a better position to score and make plays, then we will humbly submit to waiting our turn."
Cameron Newton has missed his first three practices at UF as he makes up academic assignments. He also continues to rehab from a lower back injury UF trainers diagnosed after spring practices.
If the classroom issues get cleared up, his father and coach Urban Meyer said Newton should be healthy enough to return to practice Friday.
Freshman John Brantley and junior college transfer Bryan Waggener have split snaps with the second unit so far.
With Kesthan Moore missing practice (had class), sophomore Jarred Fayson took snaps at tailback with the first unit. Meyer has talked several times in the past few weeks about using the versatile athlete in the backfield, where he can throw, run or catch the ball.
Fayson laughed when he was compared to Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, whom the Razorbacks use as a quarterback in the famous "Wildcat" formation.
"I'm hoping for something like that," he said.
CORAL GABLES Defensive tackle Teraz McCray, a returning starter, was held out of the University of Miami's practice.
Coach Randy Shannon said McCray is "a little nicked up." McCray started eight games last year.
Freshman Leonard Hankerson (wide receiver) and Adewale Ojomo (defensive end) made their practice debuts. Both missed the first three sessions because of NCAA Clearinghouse issues.
Hankerson, who played at St. Thomas Aquinas, said he felt some effects of missing a few days. He worked at the slot and outside receiver positions.
"It was tough, but I stayed in shape," he said. "I stayed running, so I wouldn't be as tired. I had to fight through it."
The Hurricanes practice in pads for the first time today. Shannon said they will hold a scrimmage Thursday, when he expects to evaluate players' progress. ...
Freshman defensive back Damien Berry missed another practice because he is still rehabbing a knee injury from high school.

Notice the word HOLY means set apart Yahuwah is set apart from us and he is setting us apart from SIN.. Romans 7:12 Wherefore the LAW is HOLY, and the COMMANDMENT HOLY, and just, and good. Romans 11:16 For if the first-fruit be HOLY, the lump is also HOLY: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. For the kingdom of ELOHIM is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:16 That I should be the minister of YAHUSHA Messiah to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of Elohim, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spritt. Corinthians I 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual. Corinthians I 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of Elohim, and ye are not your OWN?
Corinthians I 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify Elohim in your body, and in your spirit, which are Elohim's. Corinthians I 9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about HOLY things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the WORLD, that we should be HOLY and without blame before him in love: Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by YAHUSHA MESSIAH to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the HOLY SPIRIT OF ELOHIM, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious Church, not having SPOT, or WRINKLE, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and without BLEMISH.

He gave us the POWER to WALK without sinning, just look at the many verses that he told them to go and SIN no MORE. John 5:14 Afterward YAHUSHA findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: SIN no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. John 8:11 She said, No man, Master.

Timothy II 3:5 Having a form of goodness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Most Followers have no power to stop smoking to stop drinking to stop all the lust of the FLESH, but in HIM we have the power. You must FEED on the WORD DAILY so you can WALK according to HIS WAYS. We eat every DAY but when it comes to our FATHERS HOLY WORDS we may pick up the book once in a while. Or never.. We must realize that he is in control of our lives and if we obey him we would find ourself living in the KINGDOM of HEAVEN. NOW is the TIME. When your thoughts overwhelm you all day long about our KING and then and only then are you living according to the KINGDOM of HEAVEN. Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Isaiah 65:1-2 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: Yahuwah always send farmers to plant seed in peoples life that he is trying to REACH/ I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a WAY that was not good, after their own thoughts; Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the YAHUAH, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Ezekiel 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a Sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the YAHUAH that Sanctify them. Do you have the SIGN or you are not SANCTIFY?. Ezekiel 20:13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Hosea 4:6 My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the LAW of thy Elohim, I will also forget thy children.
Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words Against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and LAWS: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Here above you see how he predicted that satan was going to change our calendar to pagan and our HOLY DAYS to holidays. You see that is why most of his children don't even know that we must celebrate the HOLY DAYS of our FATHER. The set apart days are IMPORTANT. Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of Elohim more than burnt offerings. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the Conclusion of the whole matter: Fear YAHUAH, and keep his Commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For Elohim shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. John I 3:7-10 Little children, let no man Deceive you: he that doeth Righteousness is Righteous, even as he is Righteous. He that committeth SIN is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohiom was Manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of Elohim doth not commit SIN; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Elohim. In this the children of Elohim are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of Elohim, neither he that loveth not his brother. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to Elohim, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the Flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath,, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envying, Murders, Drunkenness, Rebellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not Inherit the kingdom of Elohim. Read Psalms 119:1-176 this is how he said we should live our life..
"Sanctification is the continuing work of YAHUAH in the life of the believer, through the HOLY SPIRIT, making him or her actually holy. By "holy" here is meant "bearing an actual likeness to YAHUAH." Sanctification is a process by which one's moral condition is brought into conformity with one's legal status before Elohim. Means to be set APART.. It is a continuation of what was begun in regeneration, when a newness of life was conferred upon and instilled within each believer.
Leviticus 20:8says, "Observe my regulations, and obey them; I am YAHUAH, who sets you apart to be holy." Also read Leviticus 22:31-32. Holiness is closely related with obedience to YAHUAH'S Word. YAHUAH's people needed special instructions to set them apart from the nations. Elohim says to follow these commands and you will be holy. Leviticus 11:44-45 Elohim tells His people to be holy, but what does this holiness look like? "Do what YAHUSHA DID!" Just preceding these verses Elohim describes what a holy lifestyle looks like in Leviticus 11:1-43. Leviticus 19:1-2 YAHUAH tells His people to be holy and then explains what this should look like in Leviticus 19:3-20:25 and then concludes with "be holy because I am holy" in Leviticus 20:26.
It is clear from both the Old Testament and New Testament that we are justified by faith alone. Righteousness is imputed to use on the grounds of trusting in Messiah's atoning blood for our sins and we are declared righteous in His sight. Through the regenerating of the Holy Spirit we are made HOLY, (Set Apart) but the process of sanctification is also continual process of remaining and abiding in Him and His Word. A person mustnot observe Torah with the intention of trying to earn righteousness for themselves apart from faith (Galatians was written to address this issue). We should WANT to HONOR YAHUAH'S instructions in His Torah, and all His Word, for sanctification purposes and NEVER for our justification.
You may LIE to man but YAHUAH knows the TRUTH.
Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and Spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the YAHUAH unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, Saith the YAHUAH of hosts.The Word Holy means SET APART you are commanded to be different to be set apart to him.

VMF-221 ended WWII with 185 air to air victories, the second most of any Marine Fighting Squadron in the war.

VMF-221 was formed in July 1941 in San Diego, California. In December of that year, following the attack on Pearl Harbor, they moved to Marine Corps Air Station Ewa in Hawaii. On December 25, 1941, fourteen Brewster F2A-3s landed on Midway Island after launching from the USS Saratoga. They were originally part of a relief force bound for Wake Island, but were diverted to Midway instead after the force was controversially recalled on 22 December 1941; Wake Island fell on the following day.[1] On March 1, 1942, VMF-221, VMF-222, VMSB-241 and their headquarters units formed Marine Aircraft Group 22 commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Ira B. Kimes.
The squadron's first taste of combat came on March 10, 1942 when four of its pilots recorded the first aerial victory flying F2A-3s, downing an enemy Kawanishi H8K "Emily" flying boat.
By late May, the squadron had been augmented with the arrival of additional aircraft. VMF-221 had 21 F2A-3s and 7 Grumman F4F-3 Wildcats, all of which were essentially worn out "hand-me-downs" from the Navy. Leadership of the squadron was passed to Major Floyd B. Parks, with Kimes taking command of Marine Air Group 22. Much has been written of the inferiority of the Brewster fighter, particularly with regard to the Midway engagement. Many of Parks' pilots, fresh from flight training Stateside, had very little operational experience. This fact, combined with the overwhelming size and disposition of the Japanese force posed against the atoll's defenses, would have more bearing on the outcome than the operational capabilities of the F2A.
On June 4, 1942, during the Battle of Midway, the pilots of VMF-221 were alerted to intercept the incoming formation of Japanese bombers and the 36 escorting Zero fighters that were headed towards the island. Parks led his squadron against the inbound Japanese armada, which combined air groups from Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, and Soryu. In the lead were the level bombers, a "vee of vees" made up of Nakajima B5N "Kates," followed by the dive bomber formation of Aichi D3A "Vals" at a slightly higher altitude. The fighter escort was "stepped up" behind the dive bombers; this disposition gave the pilots of VMF-221 a clear shot at the bombers for the first few passes. Once the Zeros were able to engage the Marine fighters, the tables were effectively turned.
When the smoke of the battle cleared, fourteen of the squadron's aviators, including Parks, had been killed in action; four more had been wounded. Only two of VMF-221's remaining 13 aircraft were serviceable, effectively eliminating the squadron as a viable combat unit. Four of the squadron's ordnancemen were also killed when a Japanese bomb stuck the ammunition area near the airstrip at Midway. For their actions during the Battle, the squadron, as a component of MAG-22, also received a Presidential Unit Citation:
"For conspicuous courage and heroism in combat at Midway Island during June, 1942. Outnumbered five to one, Marine Aircraft Group Twenty-Two boldly intercepted a heavily escorted enemy bombing force, disrupting their attack and preventing serious damage to island installations. Operating with half of their dive-bombers obsolete and in poor mechanical conditions, which necessitated vulnerable glide bombing tactics, they succeeded in inflicting heavy damage on Japanese surface units of a large enemy task force. The skill and gallant perseverance of flight and ground personnel of Marine Aircraft Group Twenty-Two, fighting under tremendously adverse and dangerous conditions were essential factors in the unyielding defense of Midway."
Two VMF-221 aviators would later become aces during the course of the war. 2nd Lt Charles M. Kunz, who had flown an F2A in Capt Kirk Armistead's division, was later assigned to VMF-224; he would end the war with 8 confirmed aerial victories. Capt Marion E. Carl, who piloted an F4F at Midway, would later fly with VMF-223, running his score to 18.5 "kills."
Following the Battle of Midway, the squadron was transferred back to Ewa and was one of three Marine fighting squadrons that made up Marine Air Group 21. As new pilots arrived in Hawaii and additional aircraft became available, the squadron was slowly rebuilt. In January, MAG-21 was notified for deployment and the three squadrons were loaded aboard the U.S.S. Nassau and transported to Espiritu Santo. Upon arrival, VMF-214 and VMF-221 sent detachments to Guadalcanal, but VMF-213 was held back and selected to become one of the first squadrons to be equipped with the F4U Corsair. Most of VMF-221's tour at Guadalcanal consisted of combat air patrols over Guadalcanal, but the large raid on April 1, 1943, resulted in Lt James Swett's Medal of Honor action.
After transition to the F4U-1, VMF-221 supported operations during the Battle of Guadalcanal, while also striking Japanese shipping in the vicinity of Bougainville. During the landings on the first day of the Battle of New Georgia, VMF-221 pilots got credit for shooting down 16 Japanese aircraft[2] In December 1943, they were sent back to the states for another reorganization.
Their final combat deployment was from January 24, 1945, to June 6, 1945, aboard the USS Bunker Hill.
Squadron aces[edit | edit source]
The following members of VMF-221 were credited with at least 5 enemy aircraft shot down:
Other notable members[edit | edit source]
- Marion E. Carl, first Marine Corps ace in World War II
- Harold W. Bauer, Medal of Honor recipient for actions in the later Battle of Guadalcanal

All staff at Eastcote are committed to providing pupils with an exciting and flexible curriculum which is developed around our pupils interests and needs. Everyone is involved in it's development with the shared aim of ensuring pupils at Eastcote are independent thinking, enthusiastic and resilient learners.
Our core values, Aspire, Learn, Love are at the centre of the curriculum and guide the school in it's daily activities and long term planning.
Our thematic cross-phrase curriculum means that children can make real connections in their learning. Pupils and teachers enjoy immersing themselves in their new topics; creating rich, memorable experiences. Yearly, the curriculum is reviewed and updated taking on board pupils' and teachers' ideas whilst ensuring a clear progression in subject knowledge and skills are maintained.
Key to our curriculum is our focus on developing the whole person and promoting the fundamental British values. One way we facilitate this is through our enrichment activities, such as enterprise week, book days, school trips, visitors, moral debate assemblies and multi-cultural days which we evaluate yearly. This year we have decided to include new events such as arts day and committees day.
We pride ourselves on our confident and articulate pupils. We believe that our Kid's Committees (which every Key Stage 2 pupil is a member of); our house system; our peer mentoring , playground buddies and PE leadership programmes all feed into creating strong pupil voice at Eastcote
If you would like to view a class year plan please look in the Learning Zone and click on the link but if you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
At Eastcote we are keen to encourage children to enjoy learning and develop a commitment to it. We have long felt that homework does not contribute much to children's learning and recent research backs this up, showing that the effectiveness of homework depends upon the reasons it is given, the nature of it and the age of the children involved. Surprisingly, there is evidence that for primary aged children some kinds of homework may actually be damaging to their education.
There are reasons suggested for this, the most persuasive of which are:
Now there is good evidence that some activities pursued at home are beneficial, nothing more so than reading, which could potentially boost children's educational progress significantly. So this is what we would like to encourage you to keep on doing (and all the following applies to all children at primary school):
All of this will help strengthen children's fluency, develop their comprehension and foster a love of reading, hence we are giving this the highest priority.
Other things are worthwhile, particularly helping children learn their multiplication tables and spelling patterns and following up learning in school where a child's interest has been sparked.
Beyond this we would recommend:
The policy we are planning to adopt, which we believe will be of great benefit to the children, will emphasise the importance of learning, and so we will call it "Home Learning" rather than homework.
Reading will be at the heart of it together with the learning of multiplication tables and half termly spelling lists.
As an example of what else we may give to children, in years 5 and 6, they will be given a home learning choice, one piece to be chosen from a list of possibilities once or twice every half term. This will be linked to learning going on in the classroom and will give children the opportunity to pursue learning according of their own choice and present it in ways that they feel appropriate. This will not be formally marked, rather, at the end of every two weeks, children will have the opportunity to share their learning with the class.
Feedback from parents is always welcomed.

Delphi appoints Richard Dauch as CEO
Delphi Technologies PLC, a global technology leader in vehicle propulsion systems, has appointed Richard F. (Rick) Dauch, 57, as the company's new chief executive officer, effective January 7, 2019.
Dauch will also join the company's board of directors. He succeeds Hari N. Nair who has been serving as interim CEO since October 5, 2018.
"We are pleased to announce Rick Dauch's appointment as CEO. He is a strong executive with more than 25 years of industry experience including 10 years serving in CEO roles with private and publicly traded companies," said Timothy M. Manganello, non-executive chairman of the company's board of directors.
He added: "Rick's deep industry expertise, leadership qualities and track record of driving operational excellence and profitable growth make him an outstanding choice to lead Delphi Technologies during a time of dynamic industry change. The board would also like to thank our fellow board member Hari Nair for his leadership as interim CEO while we conducted the search for a permanent CEO."
Dauch is a proven executive in the automotive and commercial vehicle industries with extensive operational, commercial and P&L experience. Since February 2011, he has been serving as the president and chief executive officer of Accuride Corporation, a leading supplier of wheel end systems to the global commercial vehicle industry.
Previously, he was president and chief executive officer of Acument Global Technologies, the preeminent global fastening solutions provider to the aerospace, automotive, heavy-duty truck, industrial, and non-automotive transportation markets. He joined Acument following a 13-year career with American Axle and Manufacturing, where he last served as executive vice president of worldwide manufacturing for the global automotive supplier of driveline, drivetrain and chassis systems.
"This is an exciting time to be a part of and lead the Delphi Technologies team as we continue to supply our global customer base with an industry-leading portfolio of internal combustion engine, hybrid and electric propulsion solutions. I look forward to our global team creating even greater long-term value for our customers and shareholders as we complete our full transition to a stand-alone company and continue to advance our technology leadership position," said Rick Dauch. "With the support of our experienced board of directors and working with our leadership team, we will continue to drive execution on consistent strategies for long-term profitable growth."

Meetup offers a new way to 'HireTigers'
On a recent sunny Friday, hundreds of Princeton University students mingled with employers representing a variety of fields under a large tent behind the Office of Career Services. The inaugural HireTigers Meetup was an alternative to traditional career fairs as Career Services reimagines its programs to foster new and more meaningful connections between students and employers.
The Sept. 19 event, which replaced the General Interest Career Fair previously held in Dillon Gymnasium, swapped lines of recruiter booths with industry-specific hubs and small bistro tables to spark conversation. Suits and formal dress were traded for business-casual clothing, and panel discussions with alumni sharing their career journeys were added to the program.
"The event was designed from the ground up with deep input from the students. They helped us challenge the assumptions of the traditional job fair model," said Executive Director of Career Services Pulin Sanghvi. "We held it outdoors in an informal setting, and we involved alumni and employers in new ways, and there was a sense of genuine exploration and serendipitous conversations happening all around us."
Junior Avanthika Srinivasan, a double bass player and Indian classical vocalist, said she came to the event seeking guidance on turning her passion for performance into a profession. She recently switched her major from chemistry to French with a certificate in theater.
"The day has been really valuable for students like me who want to explore a new field. I'm really trying to meet people and learn about their experiences and see where it takes me," she said after attending the panel "Backstage Pass to Careers in the Arts." It featured Grammy- and Emmy-award winning music director Paul Bogaev, Prospect Theater Company managing director and Class of 1996 graduate Melissa Huber, and others.
Alumni and employers at the HireTigers Meetup represented industries including nonprofits, arts, entertainment, communications, marketing, advertising, publishing, manufacturing and start-ups.
Trayvon Braxton, a Class of 2014 graduate who now works for the nonprofit Applied Public Policy Research Institute for Study and Evaluation (APPRISE), said the event's format allowed employers and students to learn more about each other.
"Traditional career fairs can come off somewhat stuffy and formalized. You don't really get to know much about the student beyond their interest in a job," he said. "It's nice to have time to talk about their various interests and activities on campus, and the more personal aspects of the student's job search."
Aaron Barzilai, director of basketball analytics for the Philadelphia 76ers, said he hoped to expose students to an unexpected career path. The HireTigers Meetup was his first time recruiting on campus.
"Just like we want the best players in the world on our team, we also want the best analysts to help build better basketball models and tools for our coaches and staff," he said. "There are a lot of talented students at Princeton who aren't even aware that job opportunities like this exist or that it would be a good fit for them."
Class of 1969 graduate Blair Labatt, an English major at Princeton and now president of Labatt Food Service, said he applauded Career Services for rethinking the standard career fair.
"It's really important to hear there are other opportunities out there besides what everybody thinks Princeton students want to do," said Labatt during the panel "You Are Not What You Declare: Debunking the Major-Career Connection." "No matter what you are majoring in, you can find a company that's the right fit for you and values your skills."
The HireTigers Meetup will serve as a model for future Career Services programs, including smaller recruitment events focused on specific industries and fields.

Mentoring changes lives
Mentoring changes the world
The MENTOR Project was created to shed light on the benefits of mentoring. We know the benefits mentees receive from finding a good mentor. But did you know that mentors receive as many and often more benefits from mentoring than their mentees? Mentors report feelings of fulfillment, legacy, meaning productivity, and value. They feel connected to the world in a deeper way than before they became a mentor.
What do we do with the best and brightest experts?
Have them MENTOR the next generation!
Many of the most accomplished, brightest experts in every field of work have a desire to give back to the next generation, but they don't know how to get involved. We believe in the value of mentorship, and passing the torch of knowledge, information, innovation, culture, values and inspiration to the next generation. Not only do we change ourselves when we mentor, but we change the lives of our mentees, and we change the world. Every mentor makes a permanent impression, and the legacy lives on.

- About this book
This book explores how the business transformation taking place in Japan is influenced by the digital revolution. Its chapters present approaches and examples from sectors commonly understood to be visible arenas of digital transformation—3D printing and mobility, for instance—as well as some from not-so-obvious sectors, such as retail, services, and fintech.
Business today is facing unprecedented change especially due to the adoption of new, digital technologies, with a noticeable transformation of manufacturing and services. The changes have been brought by advanced robotics, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and digital networks that are growing in size and capability as the number of connected devices explodes. In addition, there are advanced manufacturing and collaborative connected platforms, including machine-to-machine communications. Adoption of digital technology has caused process disruptions in both the manufacturing and services sectors and led to new business models and new products.
While examining the preparedness of the Japanese economy to embrace these changes, the book explores the impact of digitally influenced changes on some selected sectors from a Japanese perspective. It paints a big picture in explaining how a previously manufacturing-centric, successful economy adopts change to retain and rebuild success in the global environment. Japan as a whole is embracing, yet also avoiding—innovating but also restricting—various forms of digitalization of life and work. The book, with its 17 chapters, is a collaborative effort of individuals contributing diverse points of view as technologists, academics, and managers.

The consensus on my chimney design seems to be that it's not ideal (outside chimney, furnace is located in the basement), but it's all I have for the moment because I definitely don't have the $$$ to enclose it-maybe next year. So now my thoughts have turned to ensuring that I start with a good draft. I definitely won't be burning 24/7 this winter because my wife is barely comfortable with the idea of having a wood burning appliance in the house right now, so it will take a while for her to get used to the idea of tending the stove when I'm not home. She works fewer hours than I do and commutes only a few miles so she gets home four hours before I do, so ideally one day she'll get the stove going again when she gets home, but for now I'll be tending the fire on my own-oftentimes starting with a cold firebox. I did a little searching and found various techniques for chimney preheating and draft induction via everything from leaf blowers to hair dryers to propane torches. I have a small electric leaf blower that would probably fit perfectly into the outlet of my firebox, but I'm wondering if using heat, rather than a high velocity stream of air, is more effective, so I also looked at the torch method. Using heat sounds good, but the flame seems relatively small compared to the volume of the chimney. I looked into larger torches-McMaster-Carr sells this this heavy duty torch (bottom of page) that will produce a 24" flame and puts out 300,000 BTUs/hr, but it would need to be connected to a bulk tank which pretty much removes the convenience aspect. So what method do you use and why?

The Batmobile used in the 1960s Batman television series is to go up for auction.
Arizona auction house Barrett-Jackson has confirmed to The Los Angeles Times that the vehicle will go under the hammer on January 19.
The black-and-red pinstriped and customised 1955 Lincoln Futura comes complete with Plexiglas windows, the Bat-Ray and the much-loved Bat-O-Meter.
Barrett-Jackson declined to reveal the minimum bid it will accept in the auction, but a spokesperson hinted that the car will likely fetch a high price.
"Let's just say it's in the multimillions," Barrett-Jackson executive Craig Jackson said. "The car is true Americana. It's hard to put a dollar figure on something like that."
Batman - which starred Adam West and Burt Ward - ran for three seasons in the 1960s and also spawned a hit feature film.
Warner Bros recently announced that it had acquired rights to sell merchandise from the series, thus ending a long-running legal dispute.
Watch a special behind-the-scenes look at the Batmobile below:

The nose brought a thick viscosity that merged citrus oils with juniper berries and crushed pink peppercorns. A squeeze of lemon and lime preceded floral scents that flowed from hibiscus flowers to Turkish delight and rhubarb. The palate released lavender and Parma Violets with hints of liquorice and bubble-gum but again with heavy oils that now coated the mouth. Care should be taken when adding water, however we did find more herbal notes of Thai basil, fennel seeds and sage. Carnations and nasturtiums provided floral spice whilst the palate became more citrusy with apple skin, lemon and freshly cut grass.

Australia's Chief Scientist, Alan Finkel, sees inherent value in Australia's mining industry and believes innovation in mining is greatly undervalued.
Alan Finkel is an endlessly curious man. As Australia's Chief Scientist, it's a quality that one would expect he have, but it's a curiosity that delves deeper than most people's desire to know the unknown.
During his speech at an AusIMM Women in Mining event in July, he discussed the genuine fascination he has with mining, comparing his first visit to Rio Tinto's 'seamless' Perth control room to the Star Trek's Starship Enterprise.
'It had to be seamless – because what was happening on the ground in the Pilbara, 1500 km away, was extraordinary. Sixteen mines, 1000 miles of rail, three ports, three power stations and a massive network of water and sewerage infrastructure.
'And every minute, 2.4 terabytes of data from thousands of sensors and pieces of equipment, flowing in to the control room in Perth.'
Dr Finkel is quick to point out that he is not an expert in mining – a point he reiterates several times. But as someone who has a lifelong interest in innovation, he sees mining as a poster child for not only what is possible, but also how those improvements and efficiencies can bolster other industries too.
It was during his visit to Perth two years ago that Dr Finkel says he developed his 'extraordinary appreciation' for the industry.
However, there are two main elements of mining that Dr Finkel is especially passionate about: getting enough – and the right – university students into mining, and changing how mining is perceived by Australians.
An innovative industry
Despite the fact that mining has paved the way for some of the most significant innovation in Australia – from remote control machinery to automation, including driverless transport – it is generally thought of as 'just digging something up, shipping if off and leaving a big hole behind', Dr Finkel says.
'It's an attitude that must change', he adds.
'In general, there is an attitude that mining is a wasting asset, that you're not creating the next asset. But it's not the case. For iron ore and other materials like gas, our ability to extract resources cost effectively and in massive quantities, and safely and with minimum environmental impact, depends on an extraordinary amount of innovation.'
That attitude is also prevalent in how mining is perceived as contributing to Australia's innovation.
'One of the most common metrics used to rank countries is the ratio of high-tech to low-tech exports. Silicon chips are high-tech. Iron ore is considered low-tech,' Dr Finkel says.
'So if you are brilliantly successful at getting iron ore out of the ground safely, efficiently and with minimal impact on the environment… then what happens? Your total exports, the bottom line of the ratio, balloons. Your high-tech exports, the top line of the ratio, stays flat. So the better you are at mining efficiently and competitively, the worse you score!'
Looking at a smartphone, it's obvious that it's a piece of highly evolved technology, Dr Finkel says.
'But the automation technology in a world-first intelligent mine is more advanced than the processes in your standard silicon chip factory. It's just not easy to see that in a lump of rock.'
He emphasises that it's not an either/or situation, and innovation metrics need to be capable of capturing both to be useful to policymakers.
The Federal Government has provided funding for a review, co-chaired by Dr Finkel, to explore the issue.
'We're going to try and identify ways to meaningfully measure the innovation across the economy. But in particular, in my mind, is mining, because if we can't do it with mining, then we have probably failed.
'If we get that up, it could make a very substantial difference. It would say "value this industry" and be proud of what we're doing.'
An illustrious career
Dr Finkel's resume is as long as it is varied. Having earned his PhD in electrical engineering from Monash University, he then went on to work in neuroscience research at the Australian National University. After that, Dr Finkel took a huge leap and moved overseas, to the United States, where he established Axon Instruments, which would eventually be listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
For 23 years, Dr Finkel and his team created precision scientific instruments that were then used by pharmaceutical companies and universities in their work on medicine research. After selling the company for US$134 million, he and his wife Elizabeth, a biochemist and science journalist, created the science magazine Cosmos, which remains one of the most popular science publications in the world.
Challenges and adventure seem to run as a theme throughout Dr Finkel's career, and his extra-curricular activities too. Over the years, he has been director of NASDAQ-listed Molecular Devices and ASX-listed diagnostics company Cogstate Limited, chairman of
the Australian Centre of Excellence for All-Sky Astrophysics, chief technology officer of Better Place Australia and has supported the creation of the Florey Neuroscience Institute.
But in between these roles, Dr Finkel has found time to become a highly ambitious mountain climber. He's already tackled Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro, the 6476 metre-high Mera peak in the Himalayas, and Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in the Alps.
Over the years, Dr Finkel has held some of the most esteemed titles in Australian science and academia. He was chancellor of Monash University and has been awarded Victorian of the Year (2016), the Mountbatten Medal (UK) and the Clunies Ross Award for his work on facilitating international neuroscience research.
Despite the numerous accolades heaped upon him, Dr Finkel is far less sombre than many would think him to be. His speeches and interviews are often laced with humour that highlights his genuine curiosity about what is going on in the world.
Dr Finkel was appointed Australia's eighth Chief Scientist in January 2016. In September 2018, his term was extended for a further two years until 2020.
In 2016, Dr Finkel chaired the expert panel that conducted the Independent Review into the Future Security of the National Electricity Market, popularly known as the 'Finkel Review'.
Two years on, he's leading another expert panel reporting to energy ministers – and he's got hydrogen in his sights.
'We've spoken about using hydrogen for energy for decades, but it's never progressed,' Dr Finkel said.
'It's a zero emissions fuel, and it can be made for almost zero emissions by electrolysis powered by renewable electricity; or from coal and methane with carbon sequestration. But it's different now because the costs of renewable electricity have tumbled, and Japan has now emerged as a major, long-term and highly committed hydrogen buyer.
'They've identified Australia as the perfect supplier, thanks to our abundant resources. There's a tremendous sense of potential all the way from Perth to Gladstone. It's akin to the excitement in the 1980s around LNG.'Dr Finkel has also utilised his platform as a trailblazer in the energy sector to speak out on issues he believes are fundamental to the future of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in this country.
Preparing our students
Dr Finkel believes that one of the challenging issues in STEM education is around the signals we send to school students about the level of preparation they need – not just to be accepted into university STEM courses, but to keep up and succeed when they get there.
Under the current ATAR system, which ranks graduating Year 12 students, Dr Finkel hears many stories of schools, parents and career counsellors advising students to study entry-level maths, rather than intermediate or advanced maths, in order to boost their scores. And despite not having the mathematics preparation needed to study science and engineering at university, Dr Finkel says some universities will let students in simply because they have a good ATAR score.
'It's not a sensible decision; they'll struggle', he says, shaking his head.
A recent study revealed that students who study first year biology or chemistry at university, having already done advanced maths in Year 12, had a 100 per cent pass rate. In contrast, those who studied first year biology or chemistry, but had only done entry-level maths in Year 12, had a pass rate of just 23 per cent.
Dr Finkel reflects on the skills and education required in scientific industries, noting that when he ran Axon Instruments, despite the fact that the company made biomedical products, he never hired a biomedical engineer.
'We typically put together a group of ten people working on a project consisting of some lab scientists to do the testing, an expert in mechanical engineering, an expert in optical engineering, experts in software and databases, and then all of a sudden we had ten people in a team and each person had an extraordinary depth of knowledge in their respective fields.'
He says the mining industry should think more laterally about the skills it needs from university students, instead of focusing on mining engineering. Dr Finkel suggests that 'as the future of mining goes towards intelligent mines', it should consider bringing in experts in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, geoscience, software and artificial intelligence, and big data analysis – these experts could make a formidable team.
Ensuring students are adequately prepared when they commence STEM subjects at university is one thing, but getting young people interested in STEM, and especially mining, in the first place must begin much earlier.
'We need to make sure that teachers are knowledgeable in their fields. Currently, there are a large number of teachers assigned to teach maths or chemistry who don't have specific expertise in those subjects,' he says.
Dr Finkel has submitted a report to federal, state and territory education ministers, recommending that all teachers be required to do a minimum number of hours every year in discipline-specific professional development.
Changing perceptions
An issue that Dr Finkel is passionate about is the increasing role of women in the mining industry. While the ratio between the genders has idled at 85 per cent men to 15 per cent women, Dr Finkel believes that continuing to push mining to the technology frontier will be a driving force to encourage more women to enter the industry.
'It seems to me that if we can be the best in the world at integrating artificial intelligence into mining, then we ought to be the best at capitalising on human intelligence as well. I know this sector is capable of reinventing itself.'
Dr Finkel notes the incredible achievements of some of the industry's leading women including Kellie Parker, Diane Jurgens, Elizabeth Gaines, Megan Clark and Gabriela Love as just some of a host of distinguished women who have made an invaluable contribution to mining, many through technology-focused roles.
'So, what would it take to optimise mining to attract the best talent, irrespective of gender? Optimise for talent, full stop.'
To attract talent and improve community perceptions, Dr Finkel believes that the mining industry should do more to promote its achievements, especially in the innovation sector. Driverless cars, for example, are on their way to becoming a reality in society and yet most people associate the technology with Silicon Valley.
'Very few people out there realise that the only truly autonomous vehicles working on a regular basis are in the mining industry. They're physically very big but the significance is also big.'Changing perceptions, be it from the public's point of view or how international bodies view what is actually involved in mining, will be a 'hard slog', he says.
'People carry their impressions for many, many years. I think that people change their impressions more by seeing examples than anything else.
'Women in the industry, driverless technology and environmental benefits that come from using intelligent approaches, these are good examples that illustrate the fact that it's more than rocks in the ground or oil or gas. Getting those stories out is probably the only thing you can do.'

Laylat al-Qadr – The Night of Power
Laylat al-Qadr enjoys superiority over all the nights of the year. This night should be sought in one of the odd nights of the last nine/ten nights of Ramadan. According to most narrations it falls on the 27th night of Ramadan. Surah al-Qadr has hinted towards it in that "Laylat al-Qadr" has 9 letters in which Laylat al-Qadr is repeated thrice. Thus if you multiply 9 by 3 you will get 27. According to Imam al-A'zam Abu Hanifa (Radi Allahu' Anhu) Laylat al-Qadr in most instances falls on the 27th night of Ramadan, though it is most certainly in the last nine/ten odd nights of this blessed month. On this blessed night especially the Mercy and Blessings of Allah pour upon the earth in great abundance.
Therefore, one should keep oneself engaged in the recitation of the Glorious and Noble Qur'an, in Dhikrullah (Zikr) in reciting Durood Shareef and Istighfaar. Offer as many Nafl Rakaats as you possibly can. Recite the following Wazeefah in abundance as it was taught to Hadrat Ayesha RadiAllahu' Anha) by the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam :
" O Allah ! You are forgiving, and you love forgiveness, So forgive me. "
" Allah-humma innaka Afuwwun-tuh, ibbul Afwa fa-fu Annee "
(Timidhi Shareef)
Because its exact night is not mentioned in any Hadith Shareef, the Companions of the Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam and the learned scholars have according to their own estimation mentioned different nights for it from the last nine/ten odd nights of Ramadan.
The reason for calling it Laylat al-Qadr is because the sincere worship of a believer in this night is better than the worship of a thousand months.
Hadrat Ali (Radi Allahu' Anhu) states that on the Night of Power any person who after Isha Prayer recites Surah al-Qadr seven times, Allah will protect him from all calamites and 70 thousand angels will pray for Jannat for him. If a person on a Friday recites this Surah three times before the Jum'ah Prayer, Allah Almighty will enter in his Book of Deeds rewards for him equal to the people who have offered Jum'ah Namaaz on that day.
Some scholars have written that if any person who on the night of Qadr offers Four Rakaats Nafl in the following manner : After Surah Fateha recites Surah Takathur once and Surah Ikhlaas three times, Allah Almighty will ease for him the pangs of death, remove from him the punishment of the grave and grant him numerous mansions in Paradise.
It is stated in one Hadith Shareef that on the Night of Qadr groups of Angels descend upon the earth one after the other. Hadrat Jibrael Alayhis Sallam too descends. These angels bring with them four flags : one is set up on the Roza al-Mubarak (shrine) of our Most Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) one is placed on the Ka'bah, the third on Bait al-Muqaddas and the fourth on Mount Sinai. They then enter the homes of every Muslim male and female and extend greetings to them. But the habitual alcoholic, those who consume pork, and those who cut off relationship with their fellow Muslims are deprived of these greetings. Other angels too greet all those are engaged in the remembrance of Allah Almighty.
