"Songs of Bukovina," "Garden Blue," "In the Upper Room"
American Ballet Theatre
David H. Koch Theater
New York, New York

Under the rubric, "ABT Women's Movement," American Ballet Theatre is promoting women choreo- graphers during its current fall season at the Koch Theater. Two were represented in Friday's program: Jessica Lang and Twyla Tharp. Tharp, of course, has been on the scene for decades, and "In the Upper Room" has been in ABT's repertory since 1988. Lang has made one ballet for ABT ("Her Notes" in 2016); her second, "Garden Blue," was premiered Friday. Not that Lang is a novice, she has had her own dance company since 2011, and has made dances for a number of different groups.

The choreography consists primarily of duets for each of the couples interspersed with dancing for the soloist. Lang seems to have been inspired primarily by the sculptures and how the dancers might interact with them. Sometimes we see the performers lying beneath these structures, rolling over them, posed against them, or moving them from place to place. The sculptures themselves are not stationary, but have rounded contours that allow them to rock independently, which provides another source of movement.
The problem with the ballet, it seems to me, is that it looks as if it had been created as a series of static images that were then animated, rather than as an arc of movement. The dancers are moved about like the objects they interact with. At times the movement becomes stilted, and in the duets there are a number of acrobatic poses that are awkward for the dancers to get out of. It is also difficult to understand how the performers relate to each other and to the soloist. Most of the time Seo wafts through the scene apparently unnoticed, until near the end of the ballet when she clings to one of the couples. Even here, though, they don't react to her. One wonders who the people are that we are watching and what they have to do with their partners and with one another.
The one male choreographer on the program was Alexei Ratmansky, represented by his "Songs of Bukovina," which ABT premiered last year. Its music, excerpted from 24 Preludes for Piano, is by Leonid Desyatnikov, with whom Ratmansky often collaborates. Like the Dvořák trio, this score also draws on Ukrainian sources, but unlike Lang, Ratmansky acknowledges these sources throughout the work. The ballet is set for a central couple, on Friday Christine Shevchenko and Calvin Royal III, and four supporting ones. The ballet is full of Ratmansky's always interesting idiosyncratic movement. He invents steps that are unique to himself, infusing the classical vocabulary with choreographic ideas that expand it and keep it fresh to the eye.
As the ballet opens, the supporting couples enter and dance busily. Here and throughout, there are numerous references to Eastern European folk dance— flat and flexed feet, shaking heads, even in one moment a dreamy hand cupping the face, reminiscent of a pose the peasant women take in Nijinska's "Les Noces."
The opening dance is followed by a duet in a quieter, more meditative mood for the central pair, backed by the other couples. This mood doesn't last, though. When Royal embarks on a solo, it quickly grows dark. He crouches with his hands gripping his head as if in anguish, and at the end he runs from the scene. The central couple's next dance includes furtive glances and crouching positions, as if they are trying to escape an unnamed peril. It is only at the end of the ballet that some semblance of peace is recovered.
The agitated elements of "Songs of Bukovina" recall moments in Ratmansky's "Shostakovich Trilogy" that also suggest human fear and a sense of oppression, something Shostakovich experienced in Stalinist Russia. Although we don't tend to think of Ratmansky as a choreographer particularly concerned with current events, both he and Desyatnikov are from the Ukraine, which, since the invasion of Crimea, has continued to experience troubled times.
Tharp made "In the Upper Room" for her own group in the 1980s. It came to ABT when Baryshnikov led the company, so it has been in the repertory for thirty years. The dramatic smoke is still there, the dancers appearing out of it in Norma Kamali's wonderful red, black and white costumes. But otherwise Friday's performance was a faded sketch of what used to be. The work, driven by the Philip Glass score to ever greater intensity, demands energy and commitment. The minute detail of each movement, which is a large part of any Tharp work, is now gone. The dancers don't have a firm grasp of her style, which can look loose and casual but which demands tiny differences of inflection — a bob of the head, a turn at the waist — to give the movement its full force. The joy is also gone. I remember Gillian Murphy as one of the first two girls (called Stompers) attacking the movement with glee. You felt she was reveling in its challenges. These dancers, which included some of ABT's best, looked as if they had learned the ballet from watching a video. The life had gone out of it, which is a shame. When done right, "In the Upper Room" can be hugely exhilarating. It was a disappointing end to an evening where, ironically, it was the male choreographer who came out looking the strongest.

What a beautiful Monday! It was so nice to have such a sun-filled and seasonable kick-off to the week!
Showers return today but as a stationary front stalls to our south, the better chance for mid-morning to mid-afternoon showers will mainly be Albany south.
Rain is more likely in Kingston, Hudson & while we can see some rain in Albany at times-it'll be drier as you travel north.
As we start drying out tonight and overnight, we can't rule out a spot shower or two early Wednesday morning but tomorrow will be a "drier" day with a spotty shower or thunderstorm threat mostly in the afternoon/evening. Thursday is looking like the wetter day out the week with plenty of showers, heavy at times and some thunderstorms making a return.
Summer arrives on Friday at 11:54 AM and what a weekend it's shaping up to be?! After some sowers early Friday morning, we'll find drier and brighter conditions by the afternoon with more sun & warmth this weekend! Let's not jinx it, but we'll keep watching it & bring updates as needed.

Good afternoon, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy is in the seventh – and final – day of her writers retreat, and I'm still here reblogging some of her older poems. It's a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I've done this before, and I'm looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.
My first selection today (I hope to post more) is "Jake", wherein she takes words rhyming with "Jake" to a whole new level. I hope y'all enjoy as much as I did when I first read it, and when I did again, just now.

In the West Kensington spacious loft where the SPR files are gathering dust on the shelves, I discovered under old canvases a drawer full of folders that had been torn from their filing cabinet. It was, I think, a kind of graveyard where the cases over which someone intended to draw a thick veil finished their days. Among these, I found the case that I am going to refer now. Its protagonist was a young girl of the London high society. One day the president of the Society for Psychical Research received the visit of an elegant woman who requested the services of the SPR to find her daughter. Mr. Sidgwick kindly informed her that this was not a detective agency but a scientific institution dedicated to the investigation of parapsychology and paranormal phenomena. The woman said she was aware and that was precisely why she had resort to them. Then she explained that she thought his daughter had evaporated, literally. A few minutes before her disappearance, she had left her daughter absorbed in reading a "roman-feuilleton" (a melodramatic novel: a literary genre typical of the time). And when she returned minutes later, the chair was empty.
Sidgwick exposed the case to his colleagues. Conan Doyle was immediately very interested and offered to take charge of it. Minutes later he left the office wearing the hunter's hat and the characteristic cape of his literary character Sherlock Holmes (as he used to do occasionally depending on the case). And he went to the address left by the lady, ready to solve the mystery. He ordered that they show him the chair where the young girl had disappeared and, after examining it carefully, asked if it remained as she had left it. Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Doyle picked up from the cushions of the chair the book the girl had been reading. And, without further investigation, he requested permission to take the book, where he hoped to find the keys to the enigma.
The other members of the SPR began to worry when Conan Doyle did not show up at dinner time. He had spent the whole day locked in his office engaged in reading the book involved. Sidgwick and Crookes went up to his office and rapped on the door. "Go ahead!" Doyle's voice was heard on the other side. His tone was euphoric and, indeed, they found him in a state of effervescence leafing through the book and noting in a notebook page numbers. With a glint of triumph in his eyes he explained that he had solved the enigma. With some impatience, they asked him what enigma he was referring to, whether Loch Ness, the Snowman or … (Doyle called all his cases that way). "To the enigma of the vanishing girl, of course", he interrupted. And then Sidgwick and Crookes took a seat and attended stunned to the weirdest explanation they had ever heard in their lives. According to Doyle, the missing girl was inside the book. But not physically inside, he clarified: she had joined the convoluted plot that was developed in its pages. In the course of the explanation, the lower jaw of Sidgwick and Crookes was progressively separated from the upper one by the effect of stupor. Doyle went on to explain that he had identified the young woman as one of the characters in the novel, one Leslie Crawford, whose physical and psychological features coincided so closely with those of the missing girl that he had no doubt that it was the same person. In addition, Leslie burst into the novel when the plot was well advanced and its role in this plot was unclear: it seemed a completely superfluous character who simply passed by as if by chance but that acquired progressively more relevance, ending by relegating the true protagonists to the rank of mere bit players. At this point of Doyle's explanation, the jaws of Sidgwick and Crookes had almost touched the ground. It was then that Gurney burst into the office to announce that a servant had brought them the happy news that the young girl who had allegedly evaporated had returned safely to her house. Apparently, she had pretended to be absorbed in reading so that her mother would leave her alone and in this way she could go out the window with the help of a rope in order to play truant with a group of girlfriends.

President Buhari's 'Homes' On Fire.
All is not well with any of the home fronts of President Mohammad Buhari. That is an unequivocal truth that even his most ardent supporters must acknowledge at this present time. It will not be too far-fetched to say that the President's houses are on fire. From Abuja to Kastina and to his political party, the APC, it is one crisis of supremacy and battle for control after the other.
In his usual silent manner, the President is neither talking nor taking decisive actions in trying to douse the inferno. Sadly, the present state of affairs in Buhari's homes is a reflection of his general attitude to governance, laid back and laissez-faire. His handling of the widespread insecurity in the country is not firm enough according to most Nigerians. As security remains the fundamental responsibility of the government, any government that fails in securing the lives and properties of the citizens has failed. This not only about insecurity but the fires burning on multiple fronts in the President's homes.
Over the course of this week the ruling APC has 'had' at least four court pronounced acting Chairmen. First it was Sen. Ajumobi, then Gaidam made his claim and others after that. The suspension of the Chairman of the party Comrade Adams Oshiomole is reaping the party apart at the seams. In the same week, the party lost a sitting Governor who defected to the main opposition PDP in Edo state.
Governor Obaseki left the APC after he was screened out by the gubernatorial primary election committee of the party. His deputy and all elected politicians of the APC are said to have crossed to the PDP in the state. All these happening in the state of the suspended party Chairman. Why did things turn out this way? Simply because President Buhari did not take the leadership role in resolving the matter. Now his political house i.e. political party is in disarray and still the President is yet to make a pronouncement on the issue. How a man's political base can be embroiled in some much imbroglio and he won't show any concern beggars believe.
OJOKOLO GBOLABO (Political/Social Commentator)
Reports of gunshots fired in the Presidential villa was a stunning revelation that is hard to digest. Some social media bloggers, hardly sources of credible news, even had it that some of the security operatives involved in the melee left the scene bloodied.
What was at play in the Aso Rock that resulted in the breach of security protocols? Summarized, it was another battle for supremacy and control between the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, and a nephew of the President who also doubles as his personal Secretary.
The said nephew was alleged to have returned from Lagos and did not self-isolate, a course of action which the wife of the President thinks can endanger her husband as the personal secretary works closely with their principal. Consequently, the First lady went with her security details to force this said nephew to self-isolate himself and that was how all hell was let loose in the Presidential villa, with the reported gunshots in the seat of power.
It is unimaginable that the President can allow his domestic affairs degenerate so low as to result in shooting within his premises. To the ordinary Nigerian Buhari's presence alone should be enough to prevent such a rancor from ensuing. Alas! That was not the case and if what is happening so close to the President in his home can be this appalling, then that is a sad commentary on his ability to secure Nigerians who are far from Aso Rock.
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS, The case of Nigeria Regulations on Covid-19
For years now, the President's home state of Kastina has been in the news for killings and kidnappings. The kidnappers were so emboldened that the Emir of the President's Daura was abducted though later released.
After months of promises without any commensurate positive change in the security situation of Kastina, the youth of the state this week protested against the President's handling of the matter. Such a vote of no confidence coming from 'home' is a course for concern. As his primary constituents and kinsmen, the norm in Nigeria was they stick with their son no matter how alarmingly and glaringly he is failing.
Now, seeing the Kastina youth break ranks shows how hot the President's house is burning. In the face of these cries for help from home what has the President done? Has he sacked his service chiefs? As he redeployed them? No. All the President did after five years of underwhelming performance and too many losses of lives and properties to be recounted is to tell the service chiefs that their best is not good enough and he would no longer take excuses from them. To a people living in perpetual fear of marauding bandits, blood thirsty AKA 47-gun brandishing herdsmen and fearless kidnappers, the President's sound bite is insipid at these critical times.
PMB is a man whose homes are on fire as seen in the present state of his domestic affairs, his party crisis, Kastina's unrelenting security predicament and by extension the widespread insecurity in Nigeria. Politics they say is 75 percent perception and 25 percent reality. The perception that a President who cannot secure his most immediate environment gives off to the people is not one of a man in charge. Such optics are bad and rightly so.
It behooves on President Buhari to as a matter of urgency put out all these infernos around him by changing his laissez -faire approach which has not worked thus far to a hands-on approach. Nigerian and Nigerians deserve a President who must be in charge. Buhari owes the people that much.

The Indian Super League returns to the Fatorda Stadium in Goa as FC Goa prep to host Jamshedpur in what will be the 24th fixture of the 2019-20 ISL season. After over a 15 day long international break, the league finally resumes for both Jamshedpur FC and FC Goa, as the teams will lock horns to battle it out for the three points that are on the line.
While Jamshedpur FC didn't head into the international hiatus in the most ideal manner after a 3-1 defeat against ATK, the Gaurs rang out 4-2 winners at the Mumbai Football Arena when they faced the Islanders on November 7. Goals from Lenny Rodrigues, Ferran Corominas, Hugo Boumous and Carlos Pena sealed an emphatic win for a last season's runners-up in Mumbai earlier this month. Jamshedpur FC could not match up to ATK's attacking philosophy executed to perfection by Antonio Lopez Habas' men when the team travelled to play their first away fixture of the ongoing ISL season.
Come Tuesday, the hosts are placed third on the points table while Jamshedpur FC occupy fifth spot on the ISL standings currently. Having a remarkable start to ISL-6, Jamshedpur FC have managed to secure two wins and a draw, and have lost only one match in the four played so far. Looking to recover their momentum, Antonio Iriondo's men will give it all they have got on the greens of the Fatorda but the team in Orange will certainly not make it easy for the traveling side.
FC Goa host Jamshedpur FC at 7.30pm on Tuesday, November 26 evening and the match will be televised LIVE on the Star Sports Network as well as Hotstar.

VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations
The vehicle range is approved for an ECE-15 cycle.
In real usage, the range of an electric vehicle may vary depending on several factors over which you have partial control, which may make a considerable difference to the vehicle range. These factors are:
- speed and driving style;
- type of road;
- electrical accessories and equipment;
- vehicle loading;
- tyres;
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle's range.
A "sporty" driving style reduces your vehicle range: opt for a "lighter" driving style.
Drive at a constant speed.
Adapt your driving style to avoid excessive energy consumption. Please refer to the information on the "Charge meter" in Section 2.
Anticipate traffic changes by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal in order to recover energy.
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
Use of electrical accessories and equipment
In the event of freezing, manually de-ice the windscreen (using a scraper) to reduce usage of the de-icing/demisting function and to save energy.
Please see the information on "Deicing, demisting the windscreen" in Section 3.
The use of electrical accessories (GPS, phone charger, etc.) reduces vehicle range.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your vehicle.
An under-inflated tyre increases energy consumption. Comply with the specified tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When replacing them, you must use tyres made by the same manufacturer, with the same dimensions, type and structure as the originals.
Please see the information on "Tyres" in Section 5.
For safety reasons, the use of tyres other than those recommended by the manufacturer is prohibited. Failure to respect this recommendation may adversely affect stability, behaviour, braking or the play between the bodywork and the tyres... Some of these effects may lead to the loss of control of the vehicle under certain driving conditions, and lead to an accident and serious injury.

Public Persecution
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. (Acts 16:22-24)
While Paul and Silas were following God, some leaders within the popular culture of Thyatira rose against them and brought them to the Roman political leaders. As a result of lies spoken against them, the multitude attacked Paul and Silas.
You might be surprised to know that the same kind of persecution happens today, although it manifests differently. Assaults against Christians happen when several leaders of popular culture influence the news stories everyone hears. They often stereotype Christians as harsh, mean-spirited, and uncaring. The multitudes buy the stories (just as they did in Acts 16:22) and attack whomever the loudest voices demand.
Paul and Silas weren't given a chance to explain what happened or to offer a defense. Instead, as the multitude rose, the political leaders stripped the clothes off of Paul and Silas and commanded people to beat them. After being beaten for some time, they were thrown into prison. The jailor took them and threw them into the worst part of the prison and puts their feet into a position where they could not move.
Let's think again, why were Paul and Silas here in the first place? Because God sent them. I can hear people wondering, "Then, why did they get beaten? Why did bad things happen?"
Persecution is often evidence that you are making an impact, and the devil is opposing you because of the anointing on your life.
Practical Application – When you obey God, don't be shocked if you also become the object of public persecution. Just stay the course. Remain faithful. He will see you through.
2 Corinthians 11:23; Acts 28:17

TSSA today (Tuesday) welcomed Shane Ross's announcement of a 1billion euro investment into Iarnród Éireann but warned Ireland's railways lag behind those of Europe.
TSSA General Secretary said "Ireland's railways are way behind most of Europe. Ireland's taxpayers and passengers deserve better.
"At the very least Iarnród Éireann's mainline from Dublin to Cork and Dublin to Belfast should be electrified and linked up so there can be a seamless journey from Belfast to Cork. This would also help combat climate change by reducing emissions, and with faster speeds and greater capacity, it would get people off the roads and onto rail."

First Class Action in Admiralty Allowed
HERNANDEZ v. The MOTOR VESSEL SKYWARD 61 F.R.D. 558 (S.D. Fla. 1973)
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: In an action for breach of contract, negligence, and breach of implied warranty of fitness arising out of a pleasure cruise during which the passengers and the crew were exposed to contaminated food
HERNANDEZ v. The MOTOR VESSEL SKYWARD 61 F.R.D. 558 (S.D. Fla. 1973)
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: In an action for breach of contract, negligence, and breach of implied warranty of fitness arising out of a pleasure cruise during which the passengers and the crew were exposed to contaminated food or water, plaintiff passengers filed a motion to certify their action against defendant cruise line as a class action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(1)(A).
OVERVIEW: The cruise line contended that a mass tort or mass accident case was unsuitable for class action treatment. The court held that only the negligence issue was available for class treatment because a ruling on that issue would be applicable to any prospective claimant and the requirements under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 for class treatment of that issue were present in the case. The other issues pertaining to proximate cause, contract liability, adequacy of medical treatment afforded to each passenger, and damages were individual in nature and could not be certified for class treatment. The court held that the interests of all concerned would be advanced by a single determination of the negligence issue under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(4)(A).
OUTCOME: The court certified for class treatment the single issue of negligence in the preparation of food and water provided to the passengers.
Error in Medical Negligence Case to not Allow Interrogatories Regarding Textbooks Regarded as Authoritative by Defendant Physician
BUGA v. WIENER, M.D. 277 So. 2d 296; (Fla. App. 4th 1973)
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: The plaintiffs, patient, and her husband sought review of a decision from the Circuit Court, Broward County (Florida), which, based upon a jury verdict, entered judgment in favor of defendant physician on plaintiffs' medical malpractice complaint
BUGA v. WIENER, M.D. 277 So. 2d 296; (Fla. App. 4th 1973)
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: The plaintiffs, patient, and her husband sought review of a decision from the Circuit Court, Broward County (Florida), which, based upon a jury verdict, entered judgment in favor of defendant physician on plaintiffs' medical malpractice complaint. The plaintiffs sought damages for the defendant's alleged negligence in treating the plaintiff patient, and on an alternate theory of liability, based upon a breach of contract claim.
OVERVIEW: The plaintiffs, the patient, and her husband filed a complaint against the defendant physician, charging that the defendant negligently performed a manipulation of the plaintiff patient's knee. As an alternate theory of liability, the complaint charged that the defendant entered into a contract with the plaintiff patient to perform manipulation to eliminate stiffness in her knee, but breached the contract because the manipulation resulted in a locked leg. Based upon a jury verdict, the lower court entered judgment in defendant's favor. The plaintiffs contended that the lower court erred in sustaining the defendant's objections to several of plaintiffs' interrogatories and that the lower court erred in instructing the jury. The appellate court reversed and remanded for a new trial. The appellate court held that two of the contested interrogatories were valid as being reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence because they called for a listing of textbooks recognized by the defendant as authoritative to the plaintiff patient's treatment. The appellate court further determined that the lower court's instructions that were inconsistent with plaintiffs' theory of recovery constituted reversible error.
OUTCOME: The lower court's judgment in favor of the defendant physician on negligence and breach of contract claims brought by plaintiffs, patient, and her husband, was reversed and remanded for a new trial. The appellate court held that the lower court erred in sustaining an objection to two interrogatories, and the trial court's error in giving inconsistent jury instructions constituted reversible error.

Guide to Maritime and Admiralty Law
Maritime law, also referred to today as admiralty law, is the area of law concerned with the activity that takes place on navigable waters such as the Ocean.
Injuries and incidents on cruise ships, cargo vessels, pleasure craft, jet skis, and other vessels are treated differently than other types of legal injury claims. A special body of laws, conventions, and treaties collectively called admiralty & maritime law — interchangeable terms in today's language — establish legal rules applicable to civil litigation and insurance claims related to ships, shipping, and offshore work.
Maritime and admiralty law covers various categories and offshore circumstances including cruise ships, cargo vessels, marine commerce, sea navigation, negligence, unseaworthiness, and civil marine torts and injuries to name a few.
Our law firm focuses specifically on maritime law, with a prolific history of winning settlements and verdicts for our clients that have suffered catastrophic injuries, accidents and/or the death of a loved one while aboard a cruise ship, ferry, tugboat, barge, cargo ship, oil rig, commercial fishing boat — or any other vessel at sea.
What Constitutes Maritime and Admiralty Law?
At one time, the terms "admiralty law" and "maritime law" had two different meanings. "Admiralty" once referred to the judicial court in England and the early American colonies that handled legal matters related to shipping. Maritime law later emerged to handle cases related to sea travel and commerce. Eventually, the two discrete but closely related practices merged, and similarly the terms merged into one legal discipline.
Unlike some areas of the law that are codified in the federal and state statutes, admiralty and maritime law in the U.S. can fall under the jurisdiction of federal law, state law, international treaties with single or multiple nations, and the common law, or that derived from court case rulings. In addition, state laws can also have an impact on a maritime law case.
Interestingly, when it comes to maritime law, the same case may be argued in a Florida court, a U.S. court, and the court of another state, depending on the circumstances of the case. As a result of the application of both domestic and foreign laws in maritime cases, there are often gaps in maritime and admiralty law that require courts to apply laws from various jurisdictions to arrive at a reasonable conclusion to a given dispute.
Admiralty Jurisdiction
If an individual has sustained a maritime-related injury, meaning an injury at sea or an injury related to employment at sea, legal jurisdiction will be an important factor in the case. Put simply, jurisdiction dictates the right or authority of a court to apply and interpret the law as it relates to your case.
Not all courts have the authority to hear and decide on every type of case. When it comes to admiralty cases, federal district courts are given the power to hear such cases under the U.S. Constitution. Also, in certain situations, a state court is permitted to decide on an admiralty case. In cases where both the state and federal courts are authorized to handle the case, the jurisdiction would be referred to as "concurrent" jurisdiction, where the complainant may be able to decide which court they prefer to file in.
Generally, if a case stems from an incident that took place in U.S. navigable waters and involves either two vessels crashing, injury to a seaman, or injury to a passenger on a vessel, the case will likely be subject to admiralty jurisdiction. Moreover, cases in which a crime, such as a rape or sexual assault, was committed against an American citizen or a vessel on the high seas generally falls within admiralty jurisdiction.
When it comes to contracts, cases that involve agreements related to commerce, navigation, or business of the sea — e.g., chartered vessels or cargo transport — are typically subject to admiralty jurisdiction as well.
The implications of admiralty jurisdiction are so that a maritime case is handled much differently than its onshore counterpart. For example, a slip and fall incident aboard a cruise ship defers to an entirely different set of laws, governed by General Maritime Law, as opposed to a slip-and-fall accident would defer to a stateside drug store.
The convenience store incident would fall under the state law jurisdiction, where the offshore incident would fall under admiralty and maritime law. For this reason, it is important to consult with an offshore injury lawyer to ensure your case is handled appropriately.
Navigable Waters
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, "navigable waterways are those waters of the U.S. that are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide shoreward to the mean high water mark, and that are presently used, have been used in the past, or could be susceptible to use for transport of interstate or foreign commerce."
This concept is important when seeking to establish jurisdiction in the case of a maritime injury, accident, death, or assault.
Admiralty and Maritime Laws That Affect Your Case
The Jones Act
The Jones Act protects seamen on navigable waters who become injured as a result of their employer's negligence while they are in the service of a vessel — regardless of whether the injury occurs aboard the vessel or on land. This act requires employers to provide a safe work environment for seamen. The Legal Information Institute (LLI) of Cornell Law explains that "the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, known as the Jones Act, is a federal statute establishing support for the development and maintenance of a merchant marine in order to support commercial activity and serve as a naval auxiliary in times of war or national emergency."
Essentially, the Jones Act designates that seamen employed on a vessel or working on a vessel while in port have legal protections with regard to workplace injuries. Seamen covered under this federal law should pursue legal representation by an attorney with a prolific history of successfully dealing with Jones Act cases.
Unfortunately, it is common for employers or the responsible party to attempt to minimize a victim's injury or frame the circumstances in a way that limits their liability, reduces the perception of their involvement, or highlights the victim's alleged negligence. Avoid this painful reality by engaging with our maritime law firm before you make any decisions or statements or take any actions that could impact your case and jeopardize any reward you may be entitled to.
The Jones Act vs. The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA)
The Jones Act and the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act or the LHWCA provide compensation for work-related injuries sustained by separate categories of maritime workers. The Jones Act covers a "master or member of a crew of any vessel," whereas the LHWCA covers the essential maritime workers that work in piers, ports, terminals, and docks and otherwise sea-related roles without being part of a vessel's permanent crew. The distinction is important as is employing an attorney versed in carrying forth complaints from both categories of workers.
Death on the High Seas Act
The Death on the High Seas Act protects the families of individuals whose death at sea occurred as the result of a wrongful act or under otherwise negligent circumstances.
Deaths that occur a certain distance away from or within a U.S. shoreline can be subject to a variety of laws. And believe it or not, the simple question of the location of the vessel is arguably the most critical component because of the implications regarding the law that applies to the claims.
Deaths That Occur Less Than Three Miles From a U.S. Shoreline
Individuals should be aware that general wrongful death laws will apply if a passenger or a sea worker is killed while he or she is still within three nautical miles of a state shoreline (or within U.S. territorial waters).
Additionally, if a crewmember or seaman who is within three nautical miles of a U.S. shoreline dies because of a ship owner's or employer's negligence, the Jones Act might also be applicable and such a claim can be filed right along with a general wrongful death claim.
Deaths That Occur More Than Three Miles From a U.S. Shoreline
Many attorneys are often faced with cases that involve deaths that took place more than three miles away from a U.S. shoreline. What spouses and family members should know about such deaths is that they are generally covered by the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA). Generally, DOHSA will apply to all individuals who were killed in accidents that took place more than three miles out from a U.S. shoreline, no matter whether the individual was a maritime worker or not.
As a general rule, DOHSA is a nasty federal law that dramatically limits the recovery that can be made in a death claim. For example, the Act limits the amount of wrongful death damages that spouses, children, parents, and dependent relatives will be able to recover, and individuals should note that only "pecuniary" damages will be recoverable under this particular law. Pecuniary damages are those damages that can be quantified in terms of a dollar amount. That said, family members will not be able to recover damages for things like loss of companionship or consortium.
Having said that, an experienced attorney knows that there are ways to make a substantial recovery in a death claim, if done correctly.
Loved ones should also be aware that a lawsuit under the Act must be brought within three years from the date of the seaman's death. Additionally, in cases involving the wrongful death of a crewmember, the decedent's personal representative could choose to bring an action under either general maritime wrongful death laws or under DOHSA.
The Law of Unseaworthiness
According to the Maryland Law Review, "a shipowner has an absolute duty to certain persons working upon his ship to furnish a seaworthy vessel, that is, a ship and its appurtenances be reasonably fit for their intended use. If the ship is unseaworthy, the shipowner is liable for personal injury caused by such unseaworthiness to persons to whom the 'warranty' extends."
Essentially, an owner and/or operator of a ship is responsible to the crew for providing a vessel fit for sea travel. If an accident or injury should occur because of the shipowner's negligence, the injured party is entitled to seek damages for his or her pain and suffering.
The success of these types of claims relies on the victim's representation — specifically, their ability to prove that the vessel was unseaworthy. Only a law firm that focuses solely on admiralty law like Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman, P.A. is capable of compiling the evidence to support this type of claim to prove that the vessel was indeed unseaworthy at the time the incident occurred.
Miami Maritime Lawyer FAQs
What should I do after an accident?

Keep a record of any witnesses to the accident and document all the details of the incident before you forget as this could help to support your claims.
- Report the incident and injury.

Where does my lawsuit have to be filed?
For cruise ship passengers, the vast majority of cases have to be filed
Federal Court in
Miami, Florida. This is required by the terms of the passenger
ticket contract. This is called a forum selection clause and Carnival,
Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) all
all passenger cases to be filed in Miami, Florida, within one year of
date of injury. Some cruise lines such as Princess Cruises require cases
be filed in California and Holland America Line in Washington State.
Fortunately, at Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman, we have

When should I contact a Miami maritime lawyer for a cruise ship injury?
The statute of limitations for maritime law injury cases is generally three years from the date of the injury. However, for cruise line passenger cases, the statute of limitations is limited by the embarkment date on the cruise line ticket, up through one year following the date the injury took place. If you delay beyond the filing deadline, your claim is barred forever. It is best to confer with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you are able to take action on your case.

Evernote isn't interested in a Linux version, so don't hold your breath for a native Linux version. Part of the problem is that there is no competition in the Linux market. If Microsoft announced an official Linux version of OneNote you'd be sure to see an about-face and Evernote would at least take Linux under consideration. And there are no note applications for Linux that has any draw upon Windows and Mac users. Best bet may be if Google came in with a note-taking application (other than Docs) because you know that it would work in the web, which means it would work for all platforms and a local client would probably be open enough to let open source projects tap into it. As usual, it is the Linux community that tries to come to the rescue and a few have been mentioned in this thread. NixNote2 Quentier (it's not bad, but a little unstable... like me! ) Tusk Evernote Client (a Snap app) I wish somebody could turn around the Mac version and make it into a Snap or Flatpak to run on Linux. Some things that could change the situation could be from Snap, Flatpak and AppImage containers (be great if someone could take the Mac version, switch components to work in Linux and containerize it) Growing use of PWA (Progressive Web Apps) which are like Electron apps (web apps in their own window, with notification and other integration with the system). While the growth will be on Windows and other systems, it "may" mean the web version gets an improvement. Growth of Chromebooks may push the web interface version. Work being done to run Android Apps on Linux (not emulator or VM, full-speed) could mean the Android version comes available to Linux But the bottom line is, for now, it is too much work for them to offer to a "too small" market, and until Microsoft or Google legitimizes the market by coming out with their own Linux version as a competitor, Evernote isn't going to spend any money or time on it. Could they? Yes. Will they? No.
Funny thing is that this round-and-round is also self-perpetuating. Evernote does not see enough people using Linux being interested in using Evernote, let alone pay for their product so they don't want to spend the resources to develop for that platform. /\ || \/ Linux users doesn't see Evernote being friendly to their platform and so the vast majority will simply stay away and find other solutions (life's too short) and who is going to pay for something that doesn't work on their systems? We can argue back-and-forth until our faces are blue. Linux isn't going to kill Evernote, and Evernote isn't going to kill Linux. What is more indicative is how they manage "other platforms" reflects how they will handle changes in the overall environment. Are they a leader or a follower? Dell has taken a gamble of sorts on Linux on the desktop and it seems to be doing pretty well for them. While Microsoft Windows isn't going to go away anytime soon, it is loosing marketshare and the rising starts are Linux based (Android, ChromeOS, Ubuntu Linux). Is the way Evernote is handling supporting Linux, a growing platform in a declining market, proactive or are they reactive and waiting until the wheel's already turned?
Finally some good (and solid) news! Look forward to the public beta to give it a try.

Something Evernote may wish to look at is the poll on opensource.com that has Evernote with the largest percentage of votes (37%). This Linux and Open Source orientated site should give a fair snapshot and you can see the results of the poll in What's your go-to note-taking app? Now for those using Linux that are ready to bail, you may want to look at the opensource.com article 4 desktop note-taking applications for getting stuff done and 4 open source alternatives to Evernote and see if any of these will better suit you.
Yeah, just ask Google (Google Drive for Linux, promised 6+ years ago and still to deliver)... If Evernote does not want to support Linux, then that's all there is to it. Darwinism will work its way. As-is, for Linux I find little difference between Evernote (web) and Microsoft OneNote (web). I did use Evernote for a while but now am using OneNote more and more. When somebody comes up with a cross-platform product that supports Linux and has a web client then I will probably go with that. I think ownCloud/Nextcloud is working on one and if it accomplishes a product that is polished enough then I am going to go there. Too bad there isn't an easier way to get the Android version ported to Linux (in general). That would change things.
There is an article about NixNote 2 Beta 5 coming out which is supposed to work with Evernote. http://www.webupd8.org/2015/11/evernote-linux-client-nixnote-2-beta-5.html These are never as good as an official version for Linux (like Google changing their Drive API so that the solutions no longer work until they are updated), but it at least helps. I'll probably give it a try this week, but am not expecting too much out of it yet.
If Linux is forced to use Evernote over the web, then it provides little to no difference than using OneNote from Microsoft.
It would be great to be able to use Evernote in Linux (being a Linux user for the past 12 years, I would love it, but I am not holding my breath). Unfortunately the trend is not in favor for making Linux clients for a number of reasons smaller market share (compared to Windows) requirement to port or adjust coding for the *nix environment (OS X is BSD-based which is similar, but different), this includes different desktop environments (KDE, Unity, Gnome/Xfce/Lxde, etc.) packaging for the different distributions (.rpm, .deb, etc.) and different distributions file layout To make it worthwhile they need to either Release the client as open source, so the different distributions can have their own package managers take the source code and compile it for the distribution Make it in a cross-platform manner so they only have to write it once These days, #2 is where companies are going! I haven't been able to try the Windows client before, but outside of Java the best cross-platform desktop (laptop) client available is a web interface. This is currently the best write-once-run-anywhere solution. And Ubuntu (at least, others are too) is pulling in web applications into the environment as first-class citizens and making the line between native/local apps and web apps harder to see. Although I really wonder how much tweaking there really needs to be to convert an Android version to run Here's another well known app that is not available for Linux (despite the company promising they would make one... 5 years ago!) and so you are forced to use 3rd party FOSS apps instead: Google Drive You may not use it, but a lot of people do and it is almost the same exact situation as Evernote.

No stopping, no frisking, no problem.
Mayor de Blasio, after the NYPD rolled out yet another batch of falling crime statistics, took to the streets of Crown Heights to trumpet his preferred community policing policy.
The mayor was accompanied Wednesday by two neighborhood coordination officers (NCOs) as he visited three businesses along Nostrand Ave. — and garnered positive reviews.
"They come in to make sure everything's OK," Brooklyn print shop co-owner Nastassia Bennett, 32, told de Blasio. "They give us advice about safety in the neighborhood. It feels safe having them around."
Bennett and her brother Giovanni printed up a black T-shirt bearing the mayor's name as a gift for Hizzoner.
Nastassia's sentiments were shared by the two cops accompanying the mayor, Officers Sandy Peralta and Testola Santiago. Both volunteered for the NCO and started in their positions in July 2016.
"We're working better with the community," said Santiago, an eight-year NYPD veteran. "We're getting thanks yous — thank you for being here, thank you for helping us."
The first stop on the brief tour was La Estrella Castillo, where the mayor pressed the flesh with a lunchtime crowd.
"Muy bueno," manager Rosemary Nunez told de Blasio about the two cops. "They're good. We're working together."
The mayor said there were signs that the cops in the NCO program were getting past the "wedge" driven between the NYPD and the citizens by the use of stop and frisk.
The statistics indicated the number of stops in 2016 was down 98% from just five years earlier.
"I've heard enough great stories already," the mayor said. "Just hearing people say that they feel safe because they know the officers in the neighborhood — that's worth the price of admission."
De Blasio spent about 30 minutes on the block — but not until a Sanitation Department crew arrived to sweep up the streets for his visit.

Gold Medal Riesling
It's hard to believe our Gold Medal Riesling from the Michigan Wine Competition in 2017 is almost gone. What an honor it was at the reception in Lansing to be recognized with one of the top awards. This Riesling from Leahy Rock Vineyard is something special. Our terroir (climate, soil and aspect) gives the wine its precise Germanic Style: crisp, fresh, acidic, strong minerality with tropical aromas. It pairs well with any chicken or fish dish - or on its own in good company. Cheers!

Bookies update: Slaven Bilic's odds slashed to be first Premier League boss sacked
SLAVEN BILIC's odds to be the first Premier League manager sacked have been slashed.
Slaven Bilic's odds slashed to be next manager sacked
The Croatian has endured a disastrous start to the season, with West Ham sitting in the relegation zone after losing five of their opening six Premier League games.
The Hammers also failed to qualify for the Europa League group stages after losing to Romanian minnows Astra Giurgiu in the play-offs last month.
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan revealed in March that the club would offer Bilic a bumper new contract in January if he carried over last season's form - which saw them achieve a seventh-place finish.
But now bookmakers BetStars have slashed Bilic's odds from 7/1 to 11/4 to be the first manager to leave his post in England's top flight.
Swansea chief Francesco Guidolin remains the favourite for the chop at odds of 5/4 as the Swans sit one place outside the drop zone - one point more than West Ham.
"After watching his West Ham side slump to a fourth straight league defeat against Southampton at the weekend, we've slashed Slaven Bilic's odds from 7/1 to 11/4 to be the first Premier League manager to leave his post, as the club's owners grow increasingly frustrated," said BetStars spokesman.
"Whilst under-pressure Swansea manager Guidolin remains favourite to be first for the chop at 5/4, if Bilic can't halt West Ham's disastrous dip in form with a result against Middlesbrough next weekend then expect pressure to intensify."


text: LocoJeeper Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hello gang, So today's project is to actually get that center console parking brake that I swapped in from XJ to actually... um.... park the brakes, so to speak. Crawling underneath the MJ today I saw where the old foot pedal cable came out and the bracket that attaches to the left and right cable. Then I see where the hand brake comes through the floor. But then theres another one of those brackets attached to end of the adjustment rod on the hand brake. And it doesn't appear to be a straight shot to the rear wheels. What to do? I assume XJ rear cables won't work because of the distance. I looked online and they seem to specify a single cable for 6 and one for 7 foot beds. But no differentiation between foot or hand parking brakes. I am going back to the search button for a little while. Anyone that can give me some advice before I run to the parts store and try to sneak in the back so I can measure cables... God Bless, Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
