Fourth Week
January 25, 2009 16:36
Well, I worked on quite a bit this week. Not anything that I really PLANNED to work on mind you, but quite a bit.
The news page and top referer page have RSS feeds now. There are a few new icons on the page, replacements for old ones that had been there since the dawn of time. I've fixed a number of annoying bugs that had persisted for a while. I also added a bunch of sound effects to other site activities, and I have a bunch more to add in the near future.
Due to the gradually increasing traffic, the overhaul of the database is becoming a top priority. Lampmaster is becoming a major bottleneck due to its socketqueue design instead of a multithreaded one. If any part of a routine blocks or hangs, it will hold up the whole program. So, getting that updated is becoming extremely important. HOWEVER, I first need to get the main serverstub complete. While all of the actions are functional, I still need to run it through some more tests, and I'd like to export as much of the functionality as possible to a library that can be easily used by all the programs, instead of copying the entire program itself and making individual modifications. That would also make changes to one program automatically update in all the others.
My concern here is that I'm trying to design a standard protocol for the passing of data between the various database programs. I want them all to use the same format for everything, from individual queries to loadbalance server updates. I want to be able to make the individual server programs as simple as possible and draw as much as possible from a standard database of functions. Since I have about 20 different new databases I need to create, to convert from various other database systems and flat files, and many more on the horizon, I want to be able to create a new server and client interface and have it operational in a matter of minutes. Therefore, the time spent up front on this is worth it, but it's not sexy, it's boring, and nobody notices the progress, so it tends to not get the effort that it requires. But it's absolutely necessary so I need to shift my focus, and soon.
So, my primary project for this week will be to get the serverstub finished and functional, and hopefully streamlined so it's as portable as possible over multiple applications. Keep adding things to the projects page, I'll pick up on a few of those when I get tired of the server programming.

The Olympics is a very exciting time for the whole world, but this one is particularly special to me. The Olympic games are in Russia! While on my tumblr feed this morning, I saw this video and felt like I was a preteen again. This song was ridiculously popular when I used to spend more time at home, and it instantly brought back all of the fun memories I had there.
The band is now known to be a faux lesbian duo, but back when they released their song they were trying to really convince their fans that their romance was real. They started pushing the bar for LGBT communities in Russia so long ago but the fight continues.
Growing up a fan of their music I was never really affected by the image they were trying to portray. Although I do vividly remember all the parents being very offended by the band. For us kids it was just another awesome song, as children we never saw the full story the band was telling.
t.A.T.u is awesome! Enjoy.

OUTPERFORM: For the twelve months ahead, we see a reasonable valuation range between SEK220-240 per share suggesting 28-40% upside to the current share price. For 2020, we see a range between SEK270-300 per share suggesting 58-75% upside to the current share price.
Intense and important news flow ahead
The news flow from Immunovia will be very intense and important in the coming months and quarters. Regarding the company's lead asset, IMMray PanCan-d, the last phase of the optimisation of the commercial signature and algorithm is ongoing, and results from the 1,600-sample test is planned to be reported by early June. The following step is a commercial test model study which will be conducted on 1,200 samples. Then, one verification study on known samples and one validation study on blinded samples, each of them including 600 samples, will be done using the locked signature. These studies are planned to be completed by early 2020. The company plans to make the first commercial shipments of IMMray PanCan-d based on self-pay shortly thereafter. In a retrospective study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in August 2018, which included more than 500 patients and 1,100 controls in Scandinavia and the US, pancreatic cancer was said to be diagnosed with 96% accuracy.

How to add email template and send email in Magento
November 12, 2012 | Write by opensource-services
- Magento send email template
- Magento send email
- Magento email attachment
- Magento email templates
- Mage::getModel(\core/email_template\)
- Mage::getModel(core/email_template)
Well, this is quite a popular task for every Magento site. And you can found many tutorials for this which show you how to create and add Magento email template via XML file. However I'm sure that many people are wondering about Transactions Emails under Magento -> Configuration. Why don't we use it? And how can we use it?
Here I will explain for you. Basically you can use either email template defined via XML file or stored in database (added via Transactions Emails). And we use same way to send email with these templates. Here is how you can setup code for sending email
$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId(); $templateId = 'catalog_giftrequest_email_template';//here you can use template id defined in XML or you can use template ID in database (would be 1,2,3,4 .....etc) $mailSubject = 'A new gift request received'; $sender = array('name' => $from, 'email' => $from); $email = $to; $name = ''; $mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template'); $mailTemplate->setTemplateSubject($mailSubject) ->sendTransactional($templateId, $sender, $email, $name, $vars, $storeId);
Following is how you can define/add templates via XML file
1. Create the HTML Template – The email template directory is located in app/locale/en_US/template/email . The key here is that the {{var sample}} is the syntax for adding variables to the email template. If you need more samples you can take a look some of the sample templates there.
Today's product of the day is {{var sample}}. Please visit our store for more details
2. Create XML definitions and references to the HTML Template – The sendTransactional method allows you to pass an integer for the id if you've added the template via the admin console and would like to use the core_email_template table. However it's considered best practice to follow the process we've laid out and create your template separately and configure them via XML.
Add your Template definitions to your modules config.xml between the
In the same config.xml file, add to a reference to the template definition right above the closing tag
And in the case, you want to put email template in database (and edit via admin)
Go to Magento Admin -> Configuration -> Transactions Emails -> Add Template

Date: 16 November 2009
Thought for the day
"Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get."
–George Bernard Shaw
1)CANADIAN Prime Minister Stephen Harper's three-day visit to India from Sunday will be dominated by talks over a nuclear deal and new trade pacts in a bid warm a relationship that turned frosty when Ottawa cut off atomic trade after New Delhi's 1974 nuclear test.
Indian Express
2)India and the US have agreed to collaborate in encouraging investments and research and development in the solar energy space. Both countries will tap into the large potential of solar energy in India, which is starting the ambitious solar development plan.
3)CAIRN India has successfully drilled and completed its first horizontal oil well at Rajasthan's Barmer field that will add 11,000 barrels of oil per day(bopd) to the earlier reported production volume of 5991 bopd. The field continues to ramp up production.
4)INDIA Inc is still far off the mark when it comes to innovations and R&D spending. Barely four Indian companies made it to a list of top 1,000 publicly-traded companies in the world which were the biggest spenders on research and development, two fewer than last year. The list, prepared by global management consulting firm Booz & Co., has Tata Motors, BHEL, Dr Reddy's Lab and Sun Pharma this year. Those from last year's list which did not make it this time are Ranbaxy Laboratories and Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd.
5)L&T Heavy Engineering is set to inaugurate a high tech manufacturing facility in Sohar, Oman. The new unit in the SIPC area, Sohar, will augment the existing modular fabrication facility, making it one of the largest integrated manufacturing complexes in the region, catering to the hydrocarbon and power sectors, a company release said.
6)THE Aditya Birla group on Sunday approved a proposal to merge a newly-created cement unit with its existing cement subsidiary UltraTech, thereby consolidating the group's cement business that currently accounts for a fifth of the Indian cement market. The boards of UltraTech Cement and Samruddhi Cement(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grasim Industries), unanimously approved the merger of the two companies which would ultimately create an entity with a net worth of Rs 8,404 crore.
7)The Oriental Bank of Commerce plans to expand its network by opening around 200 new branches each annually in the next three fiscals. Mr T Y Prabhu, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, on Sun- day said the bank had sought a capital support of Rs 1,000 crore from the government to implement its expansion plan.
8)With rampant unhealthy practices plaguing the domestic insurance industry, particularly general insurance, sector regulator Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority(Irda) has now turned the heat on some foreign insurance brokers operating in India.
9)Indian equity indices, which ended last week with huge gains, are likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With no major cues from the domestic markets, local markets will be looking for global cues and foreign inflows for some triggers in the next week.
10)Foreign institutional investors(FIIs) may have continued to pour money into the Indian markets in recent months, but they weren't uniformly bullish on all stocks or sectors. FIIs have actually trimmed their stakes in half of the BSE Sensex companies in the quarter from June to September 2009. Big names as Bharti Airtel, ONGC, BHEL and ICICI Bank saw a dip in FII ownership over the past quarter. Over 180 companies in the BSE 500 basket also saw a fall in their FII holdings in this period.
11)Public sector hydropower producer Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam(SJVN) said on Sunday its proposed initial public offer was likely to come in the next fiscal and the company was in the process of appointing independent directors, a prerequisite for firms planning to hit the market.
12)Lilliput Kidswear plans to raise over Rs 150 crore through an Initial Public Offer (IPO) in the next six months, a top company executive said. Kids apparel maker said it would use the funds to expand its retail network.
13)The Securities & Exchange Board of India(Sebi) may tighten mutual fund(MF) regulations to make these funds more retail investor-friendly. The regulator, which recently announced that recognised stock brokers would be allowed to trade in MF units, is now planning to bolster the 20-25 Rule by taking it to the 'plans(series) level'. The 20-25 Rule requires each mutual fund scheme to have at least 20 investors, while no single investor can hold more than 25% of assets. Since it is applicable only up to the scheme level at present, many funds are able to skirt the Rule.
14)Religare Mutual Fund said its PSU Equity Fund has received good investor response with the scheme garnering Rs 229 crore, from new fund offer. "The fund has collected over Rs 229 crore, with close to 37,000 applications coming in from over 170 cities and towns across the country," the Religare Mutual Fund Chief Executive Officer, Mr Saurabh Nanavati, said.
15)While gold continues to touch new highs, silver seems to be tired of tagging along with precious yellow metal. After outperforming gold in the initial six months of 2009, silver has taken a back-seat now. Gains in silver have been capped due to movement in base metals and stalled ETF interest. However, a recovery in economic activity is expected to fuel industrial activities, which, in turn, might support silver prices in the coming days, feel analysts. As per data provided by Kotak Commodity, silver(silver fix) has rallied 60% so far this year as against the 27% rally in gold. Copper, on the other hand, has jumped 112% so far this year.
16)The firm/steady trend in all the pepper origins gives the impression that there is likely to be a tight supply position if the prevailing steady prices in all the producing countries are any indication. In the international market prices of all the origins were holding steady to firm. Buyers were on a wait and watch mode. Indian parity on Saturday was at $3,350 a tonne (c&f) and almost competitive with other origins, market sources told Business Line.
17)Maize prices were stable during last week at Rs 9,300 per tonne against the week-ago period as traders waited for the market to take direction, and also on concerns over quality, according to US Grains Council.
18)THE process for auctioning third generation(3G) radio frequencies or spectrum that is vital for telecom companies to offer high-end services such as ultra fast internet and data services on the mobile kicks off in Delhi on Monday(November 16), with the pre-bid conference.
19)INDIAN IT majors may see a 10-15% fall in billing rates from their European customers as offshore outsourcing is likely to be- come costlier by 25% following an European Union move to impose value-added tax (VAT) for services delivered from non-EU locations. British Petroleum and ABN Amro will have to bring down billing rates for Indian tech firms including TCS, Infosys and Wipro by at least 10-15%, according to experts.
20)Information technology services firm 3i Infotech plans to offshore some of its work as well as implement a four-day work week for its US employees, in order to cut costs, a top company official has said.
21)HCL Security, subsidiary of HCL Infosystems, is a fairly new entrant in the homeland security market, dominated by the likes of Accenture, IBM, SAB, Lockheed Martin, Bosch and Honeywell. But it is confident on making a mark.
22)Hitachi Ltd, Japan's biggest electronics firm by revenues, plans to raise up to 400 billion yen($4.5 billion) by issuing new shares and convertible bonds to shore up its battered capital base, two sources familiar with the matter said. The sources, who asked not to be identified ahead of an official announcement anticipated as early as Monday, said Hitachi plans to sell about 300 billion yen worth of shares and another 100 billion yen in convertible bonds. The public share offering would be its first in 27 years.

Software is eating the world. And open source is eating the software world. Year over year, the usage of open source software is increasing. The current economical climate is further accelerating this growth, since open source has a number of added benefits over proprietary software.
- Not familiar with open source software: companies using proprietary software don't know of any open source alternatives.
- Complexity of deployment: open source software is made up of a number of building blocks. It's a system of interlocking parts, all working together. To make the system perform efficiently, knowledge of all components involved is helpful.
- Legal concerns about licensing: the number of licensing schemes can be confusing.
The key insight is that open source projects are more flexible, quicker to innovate and implement new technical capabilities and features. Government, healthcare and media are traditionally more process-heavy and slower to change. These sectors are now increasingly adopting open source, citing technical capabilities and features as most important. 35% of respondents believe government will be the biggets adopter of open source the coming 2-3 years.
These are the main factors when companies decide on which software to adopt:
- Does it solve our problem?
- How much does it cost us?
- How secure is it?
- Can we fix it ourselves when it breaks?
Licensing of open source software can sometimes be complex, but most of the time the software is free. Your cost per user per year will be lower than with proprietary software.
Security problems can be solved faster since the source code is freely available. Dive into the code and fix the problem yourself, or get help from the community.
And since the source code is available to anyone, there is no vendor lock-in. You can get data out of your systems and take it to another or a different service provider. You can choose to fix problems yourself, or you can get a support contract, which is the main business model of most commercial open source companies. Only 12% of respondents chose proprietary vendor support as an important decision factor.
Questions about open source alternatives for your own proprietary software? Let's talk!

As you all know I will very shortly be caned for the first time; it's tomorrow, in fact.

Official comment
Sure it will. It's referred to as a hot loop.
Create the loop. During playback of your loop, press any Hot Cue button.
Your loop can now be recalled instantly from any position in the track.
When I have a loop active in Rekordbox, it won't allow me to add a cue point within the loop. I have this feature in Serato, and it's handy if I want to catch a bass or snare part of the loop with a cue point within the loop. Rekordbox won't allow that. Is there a way around this? Thanks.
Sure it will. It's referred to as a hot loop.

Please sign in to leave a comment.
I made a quick video without a controller so you can see my mouse clicks.
Thank you for the prompt response. That's close to what I was getting at, but I was referring to being able to still use cue points while the loop is active. not sure if this picture will help. Not sure if you can tell what I'm doing here, but this loop is active, and Serato still allows me to use hot cues while the loop is active. If I hit hot cues, the loop stays active. Can Rekordbox do this? It would be nice if we could. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
Ah, I see. You want to be able to jump around WITHIN the loop while still keeping the loop engaged. No, rekordbox does not currently have this capability.
While in a loop, pressing an existing hot cue will disengage the loop, jumping to the hot cue. pressing an empty hot cue button will load that loop to the button as a hot loop.
Is this something that you use frequently? If so, can you tell us how often?
Hi Mark,
Thank you for the response. I tend to use it quite regularly, although I think there are ways around it. If it would be something to add in an update, that would be great. When I have a loop running, I like to be able to grab the snare, or bass part of the loop to help me manual beat match the current playing song, without exiting the loop. Not sure if it's something you guys can add in the future, but it would be nice. This is just a tool I like to use when I'm manually beat matching...just how I mix. Thank you for your time.
PS. Every gig I've done so far with my DDJ RZ and Rekordbox, has been stable and without any hiccups. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to pass your request along to the product team.
Thank you!
Hi Mark,
Have you heard by chance an update on this? Is it something that may be rolled out in a new update?
Thank you for your time.
Sorry, no update yet. As moderators, we don't typically have prior knowledge of the details of updates before they are made available. Thanks for your patience.
Hello, I see a new Beta version is out...any idea if this is going to be incorporated in the future? It's a really nice feature to have and Serato has it. Thanks!
Has there been any news of adding this feature?
Also keen to know more about this. Previously used Djay2 and pressing a hot cue (thats located within a loop) did not disengage the loop. Was very intuitive.
Sorry, we won't have any details as to whether or not this is considered for an update until the release is available for beta. Please feel free to subscribe to the rekordbox beta forum for announcements.

Essentially, multichannel marketing is about choice and empowering individuals to interact with businesses, companies, brands, etc. on the platform of their choosing, whether that's offline platforms like print ads in magazines, a display in a retail store, or a poster in a subway station, or online, for instance on a website, a social media platform like Facebook, or via email. The choices, like the possibilities, are endless.
The choices we face – Looking at our own behaviour helps us to understand others'
With so many online and offline channels to choose from, we have a tendency to favour particular behavioural habits when we want to make an informed decision about a product or service that we are considering purchasing.
While you may be initially exposed to a product or service for the first time on TV, generally speaking, the platforms that you will use to research that product or service are online platforms accessed using devices like a PC, laptop/notebook, tablet or smartphone. You may also use your phone to ask someone what they think, or speak to them face to face, but chances are you will use a search engine to find a review site or a blog post, or use social media, to gain access to information.
So what does this mean for businesses? It means that they must establish a powerful online presence across numerous online channels so as to easily interact with potential clients and customers, but it also means that they need to understand how their target audience, i.e. their target clients and customers, move from one online channel to another so as to create a consistent and harmonious experience that's agreeable to the individual.
Why is multichannel marketing so important?
The oversaturation of markets means that businesses must be everywhere their existing customers, and potential customers, are. This means both online and offline, but also everywhere within those incredibly broad fields. As many have found out the hard way, if a business is unable to occupy a position in a particular online or offline field, for example on Google+ Local, then one of their immediate competitors will show up and establish a presence, usually to the detriment of their competitors.
That consumers have much more control over the purchasing process than in the past is a major concern to marketers, as it means consumers increasingly have so many more choices, in terms of products, services, and the platforms that they can use to access information about those products and services, than they used to.
This increase in the number and the variety of channels that marketers can use to reach potential customers means embracing multichannel marketing is essential.
The challenges that multichannel marketing presents for marketers
Succeeding at multichannel marketing is not without its numerous challenges. Some of the most notable challenges that marketers face are as follows.
– Understanding the customer
Understanding customer perspectives is crucially important in multichannel marketing because of its customer-centric nature. As the perspective of the customer dictates which channels they will use to interact with businesses, marketers must make understanding the customer their first priority.
– Identifying the most efficient channels
A mistake that many marketers have made is assuming that multichannel marketing works best when as many channels are hit as possible. That simply isn't the case. Multichannel marketing works best when the most effective and efficient channels are used.
– Creating a consistent experience
Seamless experiences are essential for success in multichannel marketing and the message must be consistent across all channels. Basically, each channel must be saying the same thing so as to create a consistent client-customer experience.
– Measuring response performance
Understanding which channels are generating responses is critical to identifying the best channels to use to interact with potential clients and customers. When marketers understand which channels are triggering which responses, they are able to assess whether their marketing efforts are bearing the fruit they wish to see.
Multichannel marketing presents marketers with a number of important challenges to step up to and face, but getting it right can be as simple as understanding and mastering the following three steps.
The three steps to multichannel marketing success
Don't believe for a second that mastering the following three steps to multichannel marketing success is going to be easy, but breaking down the challenges marketers face and identifying three key steps has helped countless marketers get the results they're after. And you can too.
– Create a single view of the customer and maintain across all channels
Because clients and customers often interact with businesses across multiple channels, creating and maintaining a single view of the customer across all channels is crucially important. Therefore, it's essential that you understand how a customer behaves across each channel, as well as their value to your business.
– Establish a platform supported by processes and technology
Establishing a multichannel marketing platform enables marketers to integrate emerging channels with their more established channels. This platform should also include the processes and technology required to support it.
– Create customer experiences that are consistent across all channels
Quality is just as important as consistency where customer experiences across multiple channels are concerned. Therefore, you can't make the mistake of treating each channel as a distinct entity because it opens the door to the possibility of one particular channel detracting from the overall customer experience.
Multichannel marketing is crucially important for marketers to embrace and master. And should your multichannel marketing campaign bring about the need for extra people to take the increased influx of calls, our Media Response Solutions could be just what you're in need of to ensure that your business never misses out on a new sales opportunity ever again.

been pondering my relationship with god. definitely know I'm not where i NEED to be, but I'm finally feeling ready to get where i need to be. every day is still a deep sorrow for the loss of my husbands faith. I know i will grow and things will get better. it's very hard waiting for me.
we've been trying to get pregnant for 6 months. no luck. everyone else around me is pregnant and it's kind of sad.
Seattle or no Seattle. now or later?
i have so much i need to write down and get out of my head, but i don't have the energy to write it all out. i really just need a mentor like a dear friend of mine used to do. i need girl time for me. girls who will listen to all my problems and volunteer to pray for me.

text: Ephesians 1.20-23 was a well timed reading. I'd just had a really difficult run in with a family that is struggling under the weight of all manner of things: anger, alcoholism, neglect, fatherlessness and years of pain and hurt that has been passed down in a seemingly unbreakable cycle. But then I read that Jesus is far above ALL rule, authority, dominion and power. Either we take this as truth and live as those who proclaim that nothing is outside the remit of God's grace, no stronghold beyond the breaking of him who broke death or we do not. Or we water it down with reason and logic and the complications of individual circumstance. Christ is in charge. End of. And his inchargeness is a gift to us, his broken, utterly fallible body. He is our head for our good. And we - somehow - sinful, fallen, doubting, are his gift to the world: the fullness of him who fills everything in every way living on this earth right now. As Elaine would put it: SAY WHAT?! All the fullness of God is in Christ (Colossians 1:19) ans He has chosen to fill us with that same fullness (Colossians 2:10). We are to overflow with the fullness of God. Oh to get this. I cannot even start to comprehend what it means, but I want to take it seriously. To live a life where his fullness overflows for the sake of this world where we are now his body incarnate.

Chicago Slip & Fall Lawyers
Slip and fall accidents are an umbrella term for various types of accidents that involve falling. These include tripping over objects in your path, stepping and falling, or actually slipping on wet, greasy, or oily floors. While slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, some of the most common locations are near doorways, cluttered areas, uneven, slippery, or wet surfaces, unstable work surfaces, poorly lit areas, ladders, and stairs. A personal injury lawyer can prove helpful in a slip and fall accident.
Slip and fall accidents generally occur because a business or property owner was negligent in maintaining their property. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident outside of a home or place of employment, you may have a premises liability claim.
At Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C., you can trust our extensive experience in handling Chicago premises liability cases to recover your losses. We know the nuances of Illinois personal injury law and can help you understand your rights and what to expect if you pursue a premises liability claim.
Slip & Fall Injuries
Slips and falls are among the leading causes of unintentional injuries in the United States and account for approximately 8.9 million emergency room visits each year. According to the CDC, one out of five falls results in a serious injury and the average hospital cost for a fall injury is over $30,000. Some of the most common injuries from slip and fall accidents include:
- Fractures (particularly hip fractures for older individuals)
- Traumatic brain injuries (e.g. concussions)
- Sprained/strained muscles and torn tendons or ligaments
- Neck, back and spinal cord injuries
- Dislocated shoulders
Premises Liability Claims in Illinois
Premises liability refers to accidents that happen to a guest on property belonging to another person, business, or organization. Typically, premises liability cases arise from unsafe conditions as a result of negligence. If the person who owns the property (whether it be a home or a business) was negligent, and the negligence resulted in your injury, then you may be able to recover compensation to cover your medical bills, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, and loss of normal life.
Determining Liability in Slip and Fall Accidents
In order to establish liability in a slip and fall case, the injured party must prove that either:
- The property owner was either aware that there was a hazard and failed to remedy it or
- The property owner should have known there was a hazard and failed to address it.
There are several factors that go into establishing liability and some important questions that must be addressed for any slip and fall accident claim. For example, if you slip on a banana peel:
Why was the banana peel on the floor?
Was there a posted warning about the banana peel being on the floor?
Did the property owner or one of its agents/employees notice the banana and fail to pick it up?
Or, did the property owner or one of its agents/employees fail to notice the banana (given a lengthy amount of time lying on the floor)?
Did you see the banana before you slipped?
Depending on the answers to these questions, you may be eligible for monetary compensation for slipping and falling if the property owner is found to be negligent. In cases where the property owner should have foreseen the unsafe condition that led to your injury, it's especially important to have an experienced Chicago premises liability attorney represent you.
What to Do If You Have Sustained a Slip and Fall Injury
A slip and fall accident can be a stressful one-time incident with lasting repercussions for you down the road. If you have been hurt in such an accident and you're thinking about making a claim for damages, here are some things you should consider:
- Be sure to get the names of the property owner(s) and any managers if applicable.
- Write down the contact information for any witnesses.
- Take photography or video of the scene and your injuries.
- Save your footwear and clothing from the incident, which could be used as evidence at settlement or trial.
- Get medical attention for your bruises, cuts, scrapes, and pains.
- Avoid recorded statements with insurance companies, including any compensation initially offered. Depending on the situation, this may waive your right to sue for additional recovery.
Contact an Experienced Chicago Slip and Fall Lawyer
When you've been hurt by slipping and falling on someone else's property, it's not quite so simple to say that you have been hurt and that you should be owed compensation for your injuries. The property owner will likely argue that he or she was not negligent. They may argue that they had not yet had time to discover the issue that caused your accident, that there was no way of knowing the issue was there, or that you were actually at fault for not exercising due diligence for your own self-awareness and safety. This is why an experienced Chicago premises liability attorney can make the difference in whether you are appropriately compensated or whether you must bear the financial and physical burden yourself.
The dedicated slip and fall injury lawyers at Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C., P.C. will take the time to explain your legal options, preserve valuable evidence to support your claim, and fight for the compensation you deserve. With over a decade of experience representing the people of Chicago in a wide range of personal injury cases, we are happy to put our knowledge, skills, and resources to work for you.

John Fitzpatrick: Perhaps a new offensive setting dictating the pace of your offense. So many offenses in the NFL run short huddles or no huddle now. Some teams get up to the line quick and then spend 20 seconds actually getting into the formation they ultimately run. With a new setting you can run a quick, hurry up type offense, but player stamina would need to be higher to keep effectiveness high.
Johnny Gunn: Yes, it would be nice to get the scoring average up a bit. In the NFL average yards per game is 352.2 and 46.6 points per game. Through 2 games in the CEL only 5 teams are above the above average and points per game is only 34.8.
Michael Scarn: Id rather see an option for pace of play then to speed up all plays.

Fowl research
Yes, chickens.
Yes, how humans interact with them.
Since 6000BC.
That is, the study will look at human interactions with chooks over thousands of years.
This announcement has been bought to you by KFC.
As you were.
9 comments:
I would have to assume any such book will contain recipes, to illustrate the inventive ways humans have cooked chooks over the eons.ReplyDelete
The research will also involve taking chook DNA samples.ReplyDelete
In Oz, of course, the DNA hasn't had any new stock for ... how long is it? ... 40 or 50 years? And with recent loss of French breed that was finally going to be introduced (although kept pure) we now seem destined to eat the same chook over and over, forever.
Caz, I just remembered - I've been hearing some great duck stories from the Baron, who works on a campus that is blessed with quite a bit of avian life.ReplyDelete
The ducks are just starting to breed, which has triggered an interesting defensive behaviour in the drakes - rushing at passersby and hissing at them. Apparently they don't do this at any other time of the year, so it must be solely to convince the ducks that they are good at defending their progeny.
A few weeks after telling me this story, the Baron came back observing that the ducklings on campus had now hatched, and she had observed one duck leading her new brood (very new - still had fuzz rather than feathers) over a path to a puddle, where they could learn to swim in, as it were, the kiddy's pool.
The Baron (who is a keen-eyed observer of such activities, and has seen this happen in previous years) also informs me that, as more ducks have ducklings, they seem to be confused over who has what duckling, so that a duck that has a small flock of four or five ducklings may find their flock increase to ten, then twenty - by the end of the season, apparently, there'll be a few ducks with gigantic flocks and the rest will be free to do their own thing.
For their part, La Trobe takes this avian life very seriously. Apparently they sent out an email to all staff a few weeks ago: "Ducks and moor hens have right of way on roads on campus.... please be aware and drive slowly".
I told the Baron last week to come back with more duck stories but she's had few opportunities since then. And that's quite enough out of me...
Tim - I'm loving that the ducks and noor hens have right of way on the roads.ReplyDelete
The mother ducks are smart, aren't they? Breed them, then sneakily hand then over to another unsuspecting mother duck to raise, while they get on with their leisure activities. What an excellent strategy, I wonder if they take turns each breading season, though - the mother who raised a squillion ducklings last time gets time out, or has learned from the last batch to ditch her ducklings quick smart, lest she be the one leading all of the babies, again.
The 'right of way' for ducks and moor hens is endearing, isn't it.ReplyDelete
Having observed our chooks I've been able to see that they really do have strong social instincts - when our Daisy became broody, she would take it upon herself to roll other chooks' eggs under herself and take care of them. And they would expect her to do it, too - they'd peck her if she was out of the nest for too long!
Seems that other animals don't need a mummy chat room or mummy blog to harangue other females about how to meet appropriate mothering expectations!ReplyDelete

Onesome: Laundry-- Ah, the relaxing way to spend a day, -eh? ...or not. "Laundry, bane or boon?", the question of the week!
I'm not a fan of doing laundry, but there are worse things I have to do. Of course, my opinion has changed now that I have a washer and dryer in my unit. When I had to hog quarters and carry my laundry to the central laundry room where I then fought others for the privalage of doing my laundry, constantly checking my watch to keep on top of it, I didn't like it that much. Or could you figure that out by my description?
Twosome: Stain-- Okay, we'll work on cleaning this Thursday: what's your best stain removal tip? (Mark, "buying a new shirt" does not count...)
You know, considering I just bought my first new clothes in at least a year, I find that very funny. :P
My best tip is don't get a stain in the first place. When I do get potential stains, I usually use some Spray N Wash, let it sit for a day or so, then wash it. Comes right out.
Threesome: Removal-- So you're doing dishes (presuming you don't nuke everything on paper plates and use plastic utensils): what's the hardest food to remove from day to day stuff (cookware doesn't count
I let the dishwasher deal with all of it. A rinse then a regular wash cycle takes care of all of it.

Volunteering Organisation: Irish Water Safety (IWA)
Volunteering Role: Instructor
"Having an extensive family history in IWA I already had a lot of knowledge of the organisation, and volunteering simply reinforced what I already knew about it. They aim to promote water safety around the country and develop a general public awareness with regards to pool and open water safety. The volunteering I was involved in had very little to do with my academic disciplines of psychology and law. As I was required to lead a group of teenagers through the water safety course I had to show good leadership and public speaking skills. I was surprised with how well developed my skills are through experience in different aspects of life.
My father is the Chairperson for North Tipperary Water Safety, and both my mother and sister have positions on the committee. I have recently been voted onto the committee myself as part of my involvement with the organisation. Volunteering with IWS is a family tradition of sorts, so it was an experience I have been keen to partake in since I was a child. I volunteered now because of the timing. I find it quite difficult to volunteer during summer as I am busy with other commitments, but the timing of the course suited my lifestyle and I was keen to take the opportunity while I could. Water Safety is also something I feel is undervalued in Irish culture and I was interested in giving something back to try and change this attitude.
If I could change one aspect of the course, I would consider making it more intensive and over a shorter duration. It currently runs for 2 hours every Saturday night for 7 weeks, with an exam in the 8th week. I think it would suit more people if it was run over maybe 5 weeks with 3 hours covered each night.
My job as an instructor was to cover the Safety 3 course with my class from beginning to end, covering both land and water rescues suited to this level of difficulty. I also had to cover the Basic Life Support Level 1 course with them, which covers items such as the recovery position and how to help someone who is choking. The main thing I realised during my time volunteering is how much fun it can actually be. I was surprised by how engaged my class were, given their age and that the content of the course can be very repetitive and boring. They were very enjoyable to work with and everyone ended up having a lot of fun throughout the course, which really struck me. As I am a trainee instructor, I had to begin with a qualified instructor guiding me through the first few nights of the course. This involved following their guidance in how to approach teaching the course, how to divide the group into pairs to show them the safety procedures in a more detailed manner and how to ensure they were performing them correctly. The IWS network in Nenagh is relatively small, so I was already friends with a lot of the instructors who were helping out on the course, so challenges were easily dealt with through the use of good communication.
Obviously, my communication skills have greatly improved through participating in the course. Having to lead a group of young teenagers through a course which revolves around people's safety can be very demanding as it is a serious topic. As such I had to make sure they were paying attention at all times and they weren't getting confused or misunderstanding any of the safety procedures. In order for this to happen I had to make sure I was very clear in my speech and how I laid out the class programme. The entire experience helped me improve my communication skills and these are skills I can utilise in virtually every aspect of life.
I will be involved in the IWS for the foreseeable future. I think it has a positive impact on me personally and I get a lot from volunteering with the organisation. The skills I have learned, and hope to continue developing will definitely have a positive impact on a number of aspects of my life".

Here's a question I received from a reader. His question is in italics, and my response is in bold.
Dear, Mr. Anjuan Simmons
I am Regie Tuyco, Bachelor of Science in Information technology student of the Philippine College of Technology, Davao City, Philippine. I am currently doing a research on philosophy of management in information technology and i am very interested with your work on "Minority Tech". I hope i can get your own view on the following questions:
1. What is the role of an information technology Manage in society?
2. What are the moral obligations that pertain to it?
3. What is your philosophy of management in i.t?
Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.
Very truly yours,
Regie Tuyco
Bachelor of Science in Information technology
Dear Regie,
Thanks for the question. I actually visited the Philippines several years ago, and I have a lot of great memories of your country.
Your question is a lot more subjective than most of the questions I receive from my readers, but I like it. Keep in mind, of course, that this is just my opinion.
I think that the moral obligations of information technology management are rarely discussed. That is a tragedy because we've seen several examples of scientific and technological failures that can be traced to lapses in moral judgement. The best example of this is probably the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. However, I think that much smaller lapses in moral judgement happen every day. This can range from technology consultants who demand payment even when contractual obligations are not met. I've even seen technologists exhibit poor ethical behavior when they are competing against other vendors.
While we often think of technology as occurring behind corporate walls, the reality is that technology is gaining an increasing portion of our daily lives. This can be seen by the number of people you can see walking (and even driving) while looking at their smartphones or tablets. Soon, and I can't wait for this to happen, technology may drive us around by taking control of our cars. So, there is a huge moral obligation to get technology right not just in terms of requirements but also in terms of minimizing societal harm.
I would summarize my philosophy of information technology morality this way:
I hope that helps! Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or need more information.
