None" in response to the damage question. The trial court recognized, and we emphasize, that the denial of damages does not necessarily show prejudice or perversity on the part of the jury. Dahl v. K-Mart (1970), 46 Wis.2d 605, 176 N.W.2d 342. The trial court felt that the jury must have ignored the testimony of Mrs. Bartell's doctor, which the trial judge characterized as "uncontradicted" and "the only credible evidence" relative to hospitalization. However, the record reveals that the doctor stated that it was impossible to tell whether or not the conditions revealed by the X rays were caused by the accident.
The trial judge emphasized that he could not envision Mrs. Bartell going through hospitalization and treatment unless she needed it. There was evidence, however, that she was not averse to going to the hospital. She stated it was "Sort of like a vacation" to be in the hospital. She also admitted that she would rather be hospitalized than have a simple operation performed in the doctor's office. These statements could have substantially influenced the jury on the question of whether Mrs. Bartell suffered any damages at all. As to treatment, both Mrs. Bartell and her doctor testified that many of the office visits were not primarily to treat the injury sustained in the accident. Mrs. Bartell was going through her menopause and received medication and tests on that account. At one time the doctor was concerned about the possibility of pregnancy and tested for that. Treatment was prescribed for anemia and chronic sinusitis and laryngitis. Aside from Mrs. Bartell's nonexpert opinion that the accident shocked her into menopause, there is no showing how these conditions were related to the accident.
The trial court made no comment on the damages sustained by the vehicles involved in the accident. The testimony clearly established that the car in which plaintiffs were riding showed nothing except a small dent in the rear bumper. From this fact alone the jury could have reasonably concluded that the impact was too slight to cause the injuries complained of. The jury is entitled to draw legitimate inferences from physical facts. Vogel v. Vetting (1953), 265 Wis. 19, 60 N.W.2d 399.
The record in this case clearly indicates that the great weight of the credible evidence supports the findings of the jury. The trial court cannot substitute its judgment for the trier of fact. The fact that the trial judge may not concur in the jury's verdict or that a different jury might reach a different conclusion is not grounds for the granting of a new trial. Field v. Vinograd (1960), 10 Wis.2d 500, 103 N.W.2d 671.
We conclude that the evidence in this case did not warrant the granting of a new trial in the interest of justice and that it was an abuse of discretion to do so.

Hello.
I am pretty bored and I'm wondering if anyone knows what the highest paid jobs in the world are? I've had a look on the internet, but different sites seem to contradict each other.
I remember hearing a story on the radio a while ago that said there was a job that paid several billion dollars a year, but I can't remember what job it was. All I remember is that it was a phyics-related job, and there was only about six people in the world that did it...
Any ideas?

SH1 to the North
I question the logic of the New Zealand Transport Agency.
To the south of Otaki, NZTA are spending $1 Billion to shave off 10 minutes, meanwhile to the north NZTA are spending, I don’t know, maybe $1million that will add on 10 minutes to drive-time. Same government agency, neighbouring projects, same State Highway 1, and yet completely contradictory philosophy with regard to what the plans are for our SH1.
Once the Expressway is completed between Raumati through to the north of Otaki the four-lane $1 Billion road will even potentially have vehicles legally driving at 110 kmph.
Currently the SH1 road-works north of Otaki at Manakau and Ohau have traffic slowing down while they install traffic calming edges, eliminate passing lanes and then ultimately permanently reduce the speed to 80 kmph.
What on earth is going on with that agency?
If they had consulted with the Otaki community we might have heard why on earth this ridiculous situation is happening. Throughout the consultation for the Kapiti roading changes we’ve been told it is to reduce travel time for the trucks and cars, but then these changes to our north make a farce of Government’s case.
By my maths, minus 10 minutes, plus 10 minutes equals zero minutes for a $1 Billion Madness.
Ultra Fast Broadband
Council has submitted its bid on behalf of Otaki to the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment for the second stage of the government’s ultra-fast broadband roll-out.
This follows the government indication that there is money available to increase coverage throughout the country and inviting local councils to put in a bid.
Otaki missed out on the current UFB, even though government is rolling it out across Kapiti. Access to improved broadband is a must for our businesses, students and the community who would benefit from improved productivity, educational and health outcomes. With high growth expected in our area, support for this initiative in Ōtaki is extremely strong.
The government’s bid process requires bidding councils to submit a registration of interest and provide a digital enablement plan. You can find a copy of our bid can be found on Council’s website – A detailed Business Case will be pitched to government by September, and in the meantime I will continue to canvas local businesses to fill out a questionnaire to help us build the picture of the local benefits.
A final decision on which areas of the country will get the funding is expected to be made by the end of this year.&gt;I’m looking for a healer and a status applicator for my Klee main and she looks perfect 😭😭😭😭 (I use lv70 Mona at the moment but I’d like more healing)

Her hydro application is really slow with her jellyfish. I heard 4s iirc not sure how it compared with Mona though. However, the main difference is that Kokomi demand a lot of on-field time to do dmg as a sub-DPS similar to Baal. So, you may have to tweak your game style a bit. Can't u use Xingqiu instead? His hydro application is much faster. Or is he already occupied by another team? If you don't have him, you can buy him from a shop next month.Jo Bannon
