Tampa Truck Accident Lawyer
Despite improvements in vehicle safety technology and driver training, the number of truck accidents and fatal truck crashes per year has been increasing steadily since 2009.
If you have been injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to collect compensation for the damages suffered because of your injury. To find out if you should pursue a claim against the at-fault party, it's important to consult with an experienced
Causes of Tampa Trucking Accidents
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the main factors in truck accidents are brake problems, prescription and over-the-counter drug use, fatigue, roadway problems, traveling too fast for the conditions, traffic flow interruption, unfamiliarity with the road, and inadequate surveillance.
However, the main causes of truck collisions are:
- Driving when drowsy
Despite federal laws restricting the number of hours a truck driver can drive, drowsy driving is still a leading cause of trucking accidents in the U.S. According the U.S. Department of Transportation, 87% of crashes caused by trucks are due to driver fatigue. Moreover, if a driver is on the road for more than the allotted eight hours, the risk of crashing is doubled when compared to drivers on the road for less than eight hours.
- Distracted driving
Distracted driving is a common cause of all motor vehicle accidents; however, it can be deadly when the distracted driver is a truck driver. Federal law prohibits all truck drivers from texting while driving. Nevertheless, many truck drivers continue to use handheld electronic devices while driving.
- Maintenance issues
State and federal laws require pre-trip inspections of a large truck prior to operating the truck. In addition, owners/operators must perform routine maintenance on the truck. When an inspection is rushed, or bypassed altogether, a catastrophic accident can occur. Common inspection and maintenance issues that result in collisions include tire/wheel defects, brake defects, and unsecured or overloaded trailers.
Who Is Responsible for Tampa Truck Accidents?
If you have been injured in a truck accident, or a family member was fatally injured in one, you may be entitled to obtain compensation for the injuries. To do so, you will need file a truck accident injury claim and prove that another party's negligence was partially or wholly responsible for your injuries or loss.
First, however, you will need to identify the at-fault party or parties. Unlike a collision involving two passenger vehicles, identifying the responsible party in a trucking accident can be a complex task because the negligent party (or parties) could be any of the following:
- Driver
- Trucking company
- Owner of the cargo
- Truck manufacturer
- Company responsible for maintenance/repairs
An experienced truck accident attorney will identify all possible defendants and bring each one into the lawsuit to ensure that you are fully and fairly compensated for your injuries or loss.
Recovering Damages with a Florida Truck Accident Lawsuit
If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to recover damages to help compensate you for your injuries. With a Florida truck accident lawsuit, you can pursue compensation for the following damages:
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation and other care costs
- Income lost because of time off because of accident injuries
- Loss of earning capacity in the future
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Disfigurement and permanent scarring
- Diminished qualify of life
- Other damages recoverable under Florida law
In some cases, the injured victim's family can also pursue compensation for loss of consortium because their spouse or parent can no longer provide the companionship, care and support they did before the accident. If you lost a family member in a trucking accident, you may also be able to pursue compensation as the claimant in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Spotify makes its resolutions for 2018
The streaming service once again used data to craft a quirky message in Canada and beyond.
Spotify is no stranger to flaunting its user data in advertising campaigns. Its past campaigns have teased listeners with stats on what their most-streamed songs are, which playlists get the most action and who's listening to the most Justin Bieber.
This year, it's incorporating some of the biggest trends in listening into New Years Resolutions. While the campaign is global, it's tailoring the creative for each market it's launching in, including Canada. So while it capped off 2016 with a "year in review"-style campaign, this year's work is a "year in preview."
Canadian resolutions include: "Work on 'The Shape of You' until at least Jan. 31st," referencing the Ed Sheeran track that's been streamed more than three million times in Toronto alone; "Be more like Gord," a memorial to the beloved Tragically Hip frontman; and "Be proud of Canadaland. Luckily our U.S. neighbours make it easy," promoting Jesse Brown's popular podcast (Spotify's most-streamed news podcast in Canada).
In addition to the OOH campaign, life-size cutouts (or analog social media filters) of trending artists like Cardi B and Bruno Mars will be placed in unexpected locations in New York, L.A. and Miami throughout December, prompting some social media fun. Digital advertising will also extend to the New York Times, Snapchat, Tinder and more.
OOH ads will begin to roll out this week. The campaign was developed and executed in-house by Spotify's brand and creative team.

What Are Uncertified Student Loans?
Students are often limited to borrowing up to a school-certified cost of attendance. Uncertified student loans can exceed this limit, giving you more control over how much you can borrow and how you use the funds.
Many or all of the companies featured provide compensation to LendEDU. These commissions are how we maintain our free service for consumers. Compensation, along with hours of in-depth editorial research, determines where & how companies appear on our site.
When borrowing to pay for school, you have a few options for financial aid, including federal and private student loans. However, you may be limited to borrowing up to the cost of attendance your school determines—unless you take out uncertified student loans.
This guide will explain how these unusual education loans work and help you determine if uncertified student loans are right for you.
In this guide:
- What is an uncertified student loan?
- Pros & cons of uncertified student loans
- Who should take out an uncertified student loan?
- Frequently asked questions
What is an uncertified student loan?
An uncertified or non-certified student loan is a loan you can obtain from a private lender that doesn't limit you to borrowing only the school-certified cost of attendance.
Typically, once your private loan is approved, a lender such as College Ave will require your school to certify the cost of attendance and your financial need before disbursing the loan. While many lenders won't give you more than this amount, uncertified student loans aren't subject to that limit.
Unlike with certified student loans, you'll receive funds from uncertified student loans directly, rather than receiving a refund from your school after your tuition is paid. You can use the money for any purpose, including expenses the school doesn't consider in estimating your cost of attendance.
Uncertified student loans can be harder to find than typical student loans, and they often have higher interest rates and origination fees. But they may be the only way to borrow if you need more money after exhausting your federal and certified loan options.
>> Read More: Other types of student loans
Pros & cons of uncertified student loans
- You aren't limited in the amount you borrow by your school's certified cost of attendance.
- You get the money directly from your lender, instead of distributed via your school.
- You have your choice of private lenders, unlike with federal loans.
- Fees and interest costs are usually higher than for certified student loans.
- Repayment plans may be unfavorable, including having monthly payments due upon loan disbursement, even while you're in school.
- You can't typically qualify for these loans unless you have a good credit history and proof of income, or borrow with a cosigner.
- You may not get any of the borrower protections federal student loans offer, including options to pause payments through deferment or forbearance, income-driven repayment options, or the possibility of student loan forgiveness.
- Loan amounts aren't restricted to the cost of tuition and living expenses, so it's easy to overborrow.
Who should take out an uncertified student loan?
You should take out private student loans only if you have exhausted federal aid.
Always complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and borrow what you need from the U.S. Department of Education first—then consider how federal student loans, grants, and scholarships would compare with a private loan.
Once you've exhausted federal student aid, private student loan lenders could fill in the gap if you still need more money. Not all private lenders offer uncertified loans, but finding one may become necessary if you must borrow more than the school-certified cost of attendance.
If you are going to apply for an uncertified student loan, compare rates from multiple lenders. This will help you find a loan with competitive rates on the best terms. Our guide, on how to get a student loan can help.
Frequently asked questions
Each lender that offers uncertified student loans will have unique requirements. In general, you need fair or better credit, and you'll have to provide proof you have enough income to repay what you're borrowing.
If you don't meet requirements independently, you can ask a creditworthy cosigner to apply with you to increase the chances of approval. The cosigner's credit score and financial credentials will be taken into account, improving your chances of getting a loan.
Read about the Pros and cons of cosigning a student loan here.
Borrowers typically use uncertified student loans for costs other than tuition that other loans, grants or scholarships didn't cover. However, be cautious with how much you borrow for living expenses, so you don't leave school with a ton of student loan debt.
You can borrow both certified and uncertified student loans. You should always max out your student loans from the Department of Education before applying for uncertified (or any) private student loans, to take advantage of lower rates and stronger borrower protections.

President Trump Unveils Middle East Peace Plan (Satire)
President Trump: "My fellow Americans and people of the Trumpophobic world, my stable genius has finally managed to make the Middle East more stable. I am proud to finally present the Trump Middle East Peace Plan. It is here in my hand…"Defeat Loser Pocahontas Battle Plan 2020"….wrong document."
"Believe me, the Middle East is a horrible place, filled with shithole….Shite and Sunni countries. Personally, I prefer Sushi but it is ok. Most of the despots are unstable psychopath butchers – total losers, probably secret Bernie Chelmers supporters. Time has come to finally make peace between PLO and Hamas. Great guys killing each other and thereby doing an amazing job to clean up our planet from Jihad waste."
"To honor Christmas, PLO and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire until after the holiday. You know how much Muslims love Christmas. Hamas has even agreed to create an amazing Christmas atmosphere in Gaza. The only thing missing are Christians but you can't get everything in life. On a positive note, Hamas knows everything about festive fireworks. You probably wonder how a stable genius like me succeeded when all my predecessors failed. The answer is simple. I forced the leaders of PLO and Hamas into the same love dead end-tunnel where ISIS dog Baghdadi spent his final moments on earth. I threatened to unleash my killer poodle dogs unless they agreed to my peace plan."
"I also want to thank the European Union for sponsoring my Las Vegas casinos. Much of the billions that PLO received from the EU, ended up in my casinos. The Europeans insist that Mahmoud Abbas is such a responsible leader and who am I to disagree when he is one of my best customers in Las Vegas?"
"It feels like I overlooked something. Right, Israel and the Jewish people. If you look closer at the Middle Eastern map, you will also find a tiny Jewish state, smaller than my Mar-a-Lago estate. For many years, Israel's neighbors wanted the Jews to move into the ocean. However, since Jews are mainly land based creatures, it led to a vocal disagreement. That I can tell you."
"Look, there are many nasty folks and you can't love everyone. Half of the world recognizes my genius while the other half are sore losers. You can't kill everyone that you dislike. Believe me, sometimes I have an itching desire to wage Jihad on the Clintons, New Yallah Times and Corrupt Nincompoop Nuisance (CNN). But I am a nice guy and nice guys always use proxies. Our friends in Tehran know a thing or two about this."
"Some people claim that I have a pro-Israel bias. Total fake news. Yes, I like Israel, apparently too much according to "progressive" American Jews. However, I could also learn to live with Pallywood, if I ever find it on the world map. Some folks criticized me for recognizing Israel's capital Jerusalem. Well, I have good news. I recognize Disneyland as Pallywood's entertainment capital. Guys, you need to chill. Endless days of rage are not good for your blood pressure. Pallywood will also have control of the holy sites in Las Vegas. I have kindly elevated Abbas to VIP member in my best casino. Since I recognized Israel's Golan Heights, I have decided to give Abbas a cottage in the New York Catskill Mountains. Yes, I said that Jewish settlements in Judea are kosher. However, I also say that Muslim settlements in America and Eurabia are halal."
"You think Jews can be difficult? Believe me, I know everything about it. Try living with a Jewish son-in-law and lovingly exhausting Jewish grandkids. The more I support Israel the more I am hated among "progressive" Jews. However, unlike them, I have Jewish grandkids."
"Peace is about respecting differences. Israel promises to stop imposing chicken soup on Pallywood. In return, Pallywood has promised to postpone its desire to wipe out Israel until after Christmas."

AbstractUnderstanding light-triggered charge carrier dynamics near photovoltaic-material surfaces and at interfaces has been a key element and one of the major challenges for the development of real-world energy devices. Visualization of such dynamics information can be obtained using the one-of-a-kind methodology of scanning ultrafast electron microscopy (S-UEM). Here, we address the fundamental issue of how the thickness of the absorber layer may significantly affect the charge carrier dynamics on material surfaces. Time-resolved snapshots indicate that the dynamics of charge carriers generated by electron impact in the electron-photon dynamical probing regime is highly sensitive to the thickness of the absorber layer, as demonstrated using CdSe films of different thicknesses as a model system. This finding not only provides the foundation for potential applications of S-UEM to a wide range of devices in the fields of chemical and materials research, but also has impact on the use and interpretation of electron beam-induced current for optimization of photoactive materials in these devices.

Beverage tax canned
December 1, 2017
The Board of Cook County Commissioners reached a decision regarding the highly contested tax on all sweetened beverages on Oct. 10. After months of pressure from their constituents, the commissioners took a vote which would repeal the beverage tax, Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison (R- Palos Park) said. The board voted 15-2, ruling that as of today, Dec. 1, the penny-per-ounce tax on drinks with added sugars or sweeteners would be rescinded.
"It was the general public that absolutely helped drive the repeal," Morrison said. "I was the lead sponsor, I wrote the ordinance to have it put in, but I very likely could not have gotten it repealed. The citizens of Cook County placed a lot of pressure on my elected colleagues, which helped to encourage them to vote against the tax."
Morrison was immediately against the beverage tax, and voted against it from the get-go, he said. The initial vote was 8-8, and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle (D) tipped the scale. She was one of the tax's largest proponents, though several drink companies and most citizens of the 17th district opposed it.
Small businesses faced an immediate threat, as the tax would implement their sale and distribution of most offered beverages. The expected revenue was anywhere from $90-170 million, Morrison said. In his tenure as a commissioner, he had "never experienced anything like [the soda tax]; no tax issue has had this negative of an effect."
Additionally, a lawsuit was filed by the Illinois Retail-Merchants Association earlier this year, challenging the constitutionality of the tax. The Illinois Constitution states that taxes must be evenly applied; the specific target on the soda industry was hard-hitting.
"Any tax that segments a small section is bad tax policy," Morrison said. "A government should never sue a resident or resident organization for something like that. It was my last straw."
Yet with the repeal, the promised funds disappear. In order to begin paying off the state's debt, Preckwinkle has proposed the elimination of several mid-level management positions and vacant positions.
"Without revenue, we are left with no other option," Preckwinkle wrote to the county's commissioners. _
The LaGrange Business Association is a membership of over 300 owners of small businesses
and supporters of the local economy. They contribute greatly to the community and other village events, LGBA President Kathy Dierkes said.
"Small businesses have it tough enough these days," Dierkes said. "There were obviously people who were not happy… it was such a trickle down."
The "trickle down" refers to how more not just individual businesses, but the community as a whole would face repercussions. Restaurants that had to charge more for soda or stop offering free refills on their drinks were in danger of losing revenue, which would then decrease the sums they would be able to pour back into community events, she said.
"When businesses get squeezed, the community gets squeezed as well," Dierkes said.
As for LT, the tax saw little effect, Director of Business Services Brian Stachacz said. The short period of time did not allow for much data to be collected on how students changed their purchases based on subsequent cost increases."The goal of our food services program is to minimally operate at net zero," Stachacz said.By functioning at "net zero," the idea is to break even and send extra profit into the budget. Soda and sugary drinks in the cafeteria have already seen a price increase, though there is no guarantee LT will revert back, Stachacz said, as drink prices have not changed since 2014. Due to the changing economy, the beverage tax may have come and gone at the ideal time to raise them."Our goal is always to promote healthy drinks," Stachacz said.
The repeal was driven primarily by citizens, Morrison said, and would not have happened without their support and drive to do what they feel is right.
"It's not a case of not wanting the money to go to Cook County, it's a case of appropriating the money… we have to live with money issues, with political issues, with taxation, but I personally don't think that tax looked at the big picture," Dierkes said.

Evans, Darrell J R (2008) Designing patient-focused information: an opportunity for communicating anatomically related information. Anatomical Sciences Education, 1 (1). pp. 41-45. ISSN 1935-9772Full text not available from this repository.
Literature clearly demonstrates that there has been a large increase in the time devoted to teaching oral communication skills within medical curricula worldwide. In contrast, the ability to communicate with patients through written means does not appear to be a feature in many programmes, despite its fundamental importance in creating understanding of medicine within the general population. This article investigates one way patient-centered written communication has been integrated into part of the early training years of medical students using anatomically related material as a focus. Following a series of interactive seminars and debates as part of a student-selected component, students were asked to prepare a patient-focused information leaflet on a particular birth defect. The leaflets included aspects of anatomy and embryology as well as causes of the birth defect, signs and symptoms, treatments, outlook, and support mechanisms. Evaluation of the leaflets using set marking criteria and readability indexes showed that students had successfully targeted the chosen audiences. Feedback showed that the component was rated highly by the students in terms of quality, usefulness, and interest. Students viewed sessions as an excellent forum for appreciating the importance of and developing their own effective written communication skills. It is hoped that such developments will enhance the capacity of all potential doctors to communicate more effectively with patients and colleagues in both the written and spoken form.

1 MATH 233B, FLATNESS AND SMOOTHNESS. The discussion of smooth morphisms is one place were Hartshorne doesn t do a very good job. Here s a summary of this week s material. I ll also insert some (optional) exercises that I recommend that you have do in order to better understand the material. 1. A refresher on flatness 1.1. Let A be a commutative ring. Recall that an A-module M is flat if and only if the functor M is exact. A Exercise (1) Show that a module is flat if and only if its localization at any prime is flat. (2) Show that M is flat if and only if Tor 1 (M, A/I) = 0 for any ideal I A. Exercise Assume that A is Noetherian. (1) Show that a module M is flat if and only if Tor 1 (M, A/p) = 0 for any prime p. (2) Show that a module M is flat if and only if Tor i (M, k p ) = 0 for any prime p and i N. (3) Assume in addition that M is f.g. over A. Show that in (2) it s enough to check only the maximal ideals and Tor 1. (4) Show that the f.g. assumption above is necessary Flat morphisms. Definition We say that a morphism f : X Y is flat if, locally on X, the structure sheaf O X is flat as an O Y -module. Definition We say that a morphism f : X Y is flat at x, if the local ring O X,x is flat over O Y,f(x). Easy exercise A morphism is flat if and only if it is flat at any point. More generally, we can define the notion of Y -flatness (resp., Y -flatness at a point x), a.k.a. flatness with respect to f (resp., flatness with respect to f at a point x) for F QCoh(X). Definition A map is faithfully flat if it is flat and surjective. Exercise (1) Show that a map f if faithfully flat if and only if the functor f is exact and conservative. (2) Deduce that the notion of faithful flatness is stable under base change. (3) Show that a flat map is open. Date: April 5,
2 2 MATH 233B, FLATNESS AND SMOOTHNESS Here are some basic facts about flatness in the Noetherian situation: Exercise Assume that Y is Noetherian, and F QCoh(X). (1) Show that F is Y -flat if and only if, Tor O Y i (F, k y ) vanishes (as a q.c. sheaf on X) for all y Y and i N. (2) Give a (stupid) counterexample of how the above fails if we only check the closed points. (3*) Assume that both X and Y of finite type over a field, and assume that F is coherent on X. Show that in this case, it s enough to check only the closed points and Tor 1. Here s an important generic flatness theorem: Proposition Let f : X Y be a morphism of finite type with Y integral and Noetherian. Let F be a coherent sheaf of X. Then there exists a non-empty open subscheme Y Y, such that F is Y -flat. f 1 ( Y ) For the proof, google generic flatness fantechi and go to the first link (Gothendieck s FGA is explained). Here is a relationship between the notions of flatness and flatness at a point: Exercise Let f : X Y be a morphism of finite type with Y Noetherian. Let F be a coherent sheaf on X. Let y Y be a point such that for every x X with f(x) = y, the sheaf F is Y -flat at x. Show that y admits a Zariski neighborhood over which F is flat. (This is a non-trivial exercise, and the proof that I know uses generic flatness.) 1.4. Here is a basic fact about the interaction between the notions of flatness and dimension. If X is a Noetherian scheme and x X is a point, we denote by dim(x) x the dimension of X at x, i.e., the dimension of the Noetherian local ring O X,x. Proposition Let f : X Y be a morphism between Noetherian schemes. Let x X be a point and y = f(x) its image in Y. Let X y be the fiber of X over y, i.e., X k y. Y (1) We have the inequality: dim(x y ) x + dim(y ) y dim(x) x. (2) If f is flat at x, then the above inequality is an equality. (3) If Y is regular at y and X is CM at x, then the assertion of (2) is if and only if Let X Y be a faithfully flat map with both X and Y locally Noetherian. Let s see how some favorable properties of X imply those for Y. Proposition If X is (i) reduced, (ii) integral, (iii) regular, (iv) R n, (v) S n, (vi) locally factorial, then the same is true for Y. Proof. The proof of (i) and (ii) is easy, while (iii) was done in class. To prove (iv) let s localize Y at a point y of height m n. Consider the scheme X y, and let x be one of its generic points. By Proposition 1.4.1, dim(x) x = dim(y ) y, so X is regular at x by assumption. Hence, Y is regular at y by (iv).
3 MATH 233B, FLATNESS AND SMOOTHNESS. 3 Point (v) was done in class, but let s repeat it nonetheless. The assertion is local, so we can assume that both X and Y are affine. Property S n means that for F Coh(Y ) with codim(supp Y (F)) n, we have Ext k (F, O Y ) = 0 for k n 1. By faithful flatness, it s enough to show that f (Ext k O Y (F, O Y )) = 0, while the latter, by flatness and the fact that F is coherent, is isomorphic to Ext k O X (f (F), O X ). By Proposition 1.4.1, codim(supp X (f (F))) = codim(supp Y (F)), so the latter group vanishes since X was S n. Let s prove (vi). Let j : Y Y be an open subset whose complement is of codim 2. Let L be a line bundle over Y. We need to show that it admits an extension to a line bundle on the entire Y. We claim that j (L) does the job. Indeed, since f is faithfully flat, it s enough to show that f (j (L)) is a line bundle on X. Since f is flat, by the trivial case of the projection formula, we have: f (j (L)) j (f (L)), where j : X X, where X := f 1 ( Y ). However, by Proposition 1.4.1, codim(x X) = codim(y Y ), so we know that f (L) admits an extension to a line bundle L on X. Since X is normal, we also know that this extension must coincide with j (f (L)). 2. Smoothness over a field 2.1. Before we proceed, let s give a refresher on the behavior of dimension for schemes of finite type over a field. Here are two important facts: Proposition Let X be a scheme of finite type over a field k. Then: (i) If X irreducible, then dim(x) x1 = dim(x) x2 for any two closed points x 1, x 2 X. (ii) If X is integral, then dim(x) equals tr. deg.(k(x)/k), where K(X) is the field of fractions of X Let first k be an algebraically closed field, and X a scheme of finite type over k. Definition We say that X is smooth of dimension n if it is regular as a scheme and has dimension n. Lemma Assume that every irreducible component of X is of dimension n. Then the following conditions are equivalent: (i) X is smooth of dimension n. (ii) Ω 1 X/k is a locally free sheaf of dim n. The proof follows the fact that for any closed point x X, the natural map m x /m 2 x (Ω 1 X/k ) x is an isomorphism.
4 4 MATH 233B, FLATNESS AND SMOOTHNESS A digression on the latter map: Exercise Let A be a local ring over a field k, such that k A, the residue field of A is a finite extension of k. (i) Construct the natural map m/m 2 (Ω 1 A/k ) k A. A (ii) Give an example of how this map fails to be an isomorphism even when A is regular. (iii) Prove (by induction) that if k A /k is perfect, then for any n the projection A/m n k A admits a unique section (i.e., this makes A/m n into a k A -algebra). (iv) Deduce that if k A /k is perfect, then the map in (i) is an isomorphism Let k be an arbitrary field. Let X be a scheme of finite type over X. Definition We say that X is smooth of dimension n over k if X k smooth of dimension n over k. From Lemma we obtain: Corollary A scheme X is smooth of dimension n over k if and only if each of its irreducible components has dimension n, and Ω X/k is locally free of rank n. As we saw in class, an imperfect field extension k /k provides an example of a scheme over k, which is regular, but not smooth. Exercise Let X be a scheme over k. (i) Show that any scheme smooth over a field is regular. (ii) Let k /k be a separable field extension. Show that if X is regular, then so is X := X k. k (iii) Show that over a perfect field, a scheme is smooth if and only if it s regular Let s recall the following assertion about regular local rings: Proposition Let A A be a surjection of local rings with A regular of dimension m. Then the following conditions are equivalent: (a) A is regular of dimension n. (b) The ideal ker(a A) can be generated by m n elements f 1,..., f m n, whose images in m /m 2 are linearly independent. Proof. Exercise. We shall now discuss an analog of this assertion when regular is replaced by smooth. Theorem Let X be a scheme of finite type over k. Then the following conditions are equivalent: (a) X is smooth over k. (b) For any closed embedding X X with with a sheaf of ideals I and X smooth, the sequence I/I 2 Ω X /k X Ω X/k 0 is a short exact sequence of vector bundles. k is
5 MATH 233B, FLATNESS AND SMOOTHNESS. 5 Proof. The impication (b) (a) follows from Lemma For the implication in the other direction, we can base change to k. In the latter case we deduce it from Proposition using the following lemma: Lemma Let α : F E be a map of coherent sheaves on a locally Noetherian scheme X, where E is locally free. Assume that for every x X, the map F x E x is injective. Then: (i) the map α is injective, (ii) F is locally free, (iii) coker(α) is locally free. Moreover, the above condition is sufficient to check for closed points only. Note the difference in the conditions of Proposition and Theorem 2.5.2: for a closed point x X, the former requires that we can generate I x := ker(o X,x O X,x ) by elements f 1,..., f n m such that their images f 1,..., f m n in m /m 2 are linearly independent. The latter requires that their further images df i (x) (Ω X /x) x be linearly independent Generic smoothness. Definition We say that X is generically smooth of dimension n over k if X contains a dense Zariski open X, which is smooth of dimension n over k. Lemma Let X be an irreducible scheme of finite type over k. (1) The generic rank of Ω X/k is dim(x). (2) The equality in (1) holds if and only if X is generically smooth. The proof follows from Lemma by base change. Definition A finitely generated field extension K/k is said to be separably generated if it can be written in the form K K 0 = k(x 1,..., x n ), where K/K 0 is a finite separable extension. Lemma Let K/k be a finitely generated field extension. (1) We have dim K (Ω K/k ) tr. deg.(k/k). (2) If K/k is separably generated, then the inequality in (1) is an equality. NB: We ll soon see that the assertion of (2) is in fact if and only if. Proof. To prove point (1) choose an integral scheme of finite type over X with field of fractions K. Then the assertion follows from Lemma To prove point (2), consider the exact sequence: and the assertion follows. K K 0 Ω K0/k Ω K/k Ω K /K 0, Lemma If k is perfect, then any finitely generated field extension is separably generated. For the proof, see references in Hartshorne, Theorem 4.8A. Corollary Any integral scheme over a perfect field is generically smooth.
6 6 MATH 233B, FLATNESS AND SMOOTHNESS. 3. Smooth morphisms between schemes 3.1. Let f : X S be a morphism of schemes. Untill the end of this write-up, we ll assume that the base S is locally Noetherian. Assume that f is of finite type (smoothness is only defined for morphisms of finite type). Definition We say that f is smooth of relative dimension n if the following conditions hold: (i) X is flat over S. (ii) For every point s S, the base change X k S is a smooth scheme of dimension n over the residue field k s. Theorem Let f : X S be a morphism of finite type. conditions are equivalent: S The following (a) Condition (ii) in the definition of smoothness holds, and Ω X/S is locally free of rank n. (b) f is smooth of rel. dim. = n. (c) X is flat and locally on X, we can find a closed embedding over X X := A n S (compatible with the projection to S), so that if we denote by I X,X the corresponding sheaf of ideals on X, the sequence I X,X /I 2 X,X Ω X /S X Ω X/S 0 is a short exact sequence of vector bundles. Proof. The fact that (a) implies (b) follows from Lemma The implications (c) (a) is tautological. So, it s enough to show that (b) implies (c). We ll use the following generalization of Lemma 2.5.3: Lemma Let α : F E be a map of coherent sheaves on a locally Noetherian scheme X, where E is locally free. Assume that for every x X, there exists a closed subscheme Z x X containing x, such that the resulting map α Zx : F Zx F Zx is injective and the quotient is locally free on Z x. Then: (i) the map α is injective, (ii) F is locally free, (iii) coker(α) is locally free. In fact, it is sufficient to check this condition for closed points only. We apply this lemma to the map I X,X /I 2 X,X Ω X /S X. For every x X we take Z x := X f(x). We need to verify that the conditions of the lemma hold. First, since X is flat over Y, for every y Y, the natural map I X y I X y,x y is an isomorphism, and hence (I X,X /I 2 X,X ) X y I Xy,X y /I2 X y,x y. Now, the assertion follows from Theorem NB: Note that from what we proved it follows that Theorem can be rephrased as follows: X S is smooth if and only it is flat, and for any closed embedding X X with X smooth over S, the sequence in point (3) of the theorem is short exact. In one of the problems for this week you ll show that the condition that X S is in fact automatic.
7 MATH 233B, FLATNESS AND SMOOTHNESS We ll now discuss a differential criterion for smoothness of a map: Let X, Y be two schemes, smooth over a base S, and f : X Y a map between them. Theorem The following conditions are equivalent: (a) f is smooth of relative dimension dim. rel(x, S) dim. rel(y, S). (b) Ω X/Y is locally free of rank dim. rel(x, S) dim. rel(y, S). (c) The map f (Ω Y/S ) Ω X/S is injective, and the quotient is locally free.

Overnight oats are among my most favourite go-to recipes and they should be among your as well!
If you have ever searched for healthy food recipes, chances are you have stumbled across overnight oats at least once. Maybe more than once. In fact, I would be willing to bet you have not gone this long in life without hearing about them! They have picked up in popularity recently with more and more people experiencing and experimenting with this dish.
I must admit though, the amount of times I hear "But Julia, oats are carbs. And carbs are bad for you!" is fairly crazy. Yes, certain carbs in high amounts are not going to do your waist line any good. But oats are fine! They are good carbohydrate that our body needs to function. So, don't be put off by this. And trust me when I say this, you really want to try overnight oats. You can even mix up the flavours and make your own version like mango and coconut – one of my all-time favourites.
This overnight oat recipe has all the wonderful things you have come to expect from great vegan food – taste, quality ingredients, and yes, it's super easy to make. How easy? Well, you will only need to take 10 minutes out of your day. And to make it even better, you will only need 8 ingredients you can pick up at any grocery store.
We start off this dish with oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Not only do these ingredients offer taste and texture, but they also provide us with a host of important nutrients such as Omega-3, manganese, dietary fibre, protein, and antioxidants.
We top this off with some almond milk, maple syrup, plums, and sunflower seeds. Almond milk provides us with a high source of protein and fibre, while the plums and sunflower seeds offer us a great source of vitamin E, copper, vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate. I would recommend buying unsweetened almond milk for a healthier option.
Overnight oats are the perfect breakfast or snack option because they are:
For the best results, the oats will need to be store overnight in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I would not recommend storing these any longer than 24-48 hours as the oats and ingredients will become soggy. But what I can recommend is when preparing your oats the night beforehand, pop them in a travel friendly container/mug. This way, if your rushed for time the next morning, you can take your breakfast with you (I do this often).
And that's about it. I hope you really enjoyed this recipe, be sure to share your own attempt with us!

Injuries continue to consume Raptors as they host Nets
The Toronto Raptors will attempt to overcome a handful of injuries, with one of those potentially being Scottie Barnes' sprained left knee, when they clash with the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.
Barnes did not practice on Tuesday and is considered day-to-day.
The Raptors have not played since Saturday, when they lost 124-122 in overtime to the host Atlanta Hawks. Barnes had 28 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in that game.
Toronto is not sure when Barnes' injury occurred, but it does not believe that it is serious
"I don't think it's terribly bad, but we'll see how it progresses," Raptors coach Nick Nurse said.
The timing is bad, however.
"With all the guys out, we've just got to go night to night right now," Nurse said. "We're just trying to survive the next game."
Toronto's injury list includes Pascal Siakam (right adductor strain), Precious Achiuwa (right ankle sprain), Otto Porter Jr. (toe dislocation) and Justin Champagnie (lower back soreness). All have been ruled out for the game Wednesday, and Dalano Banton (ankle) is questionable.
Gary Trent Jr. (hip and illness) and Chris Boucher (illness) are expected to return on Wednesday.
The Raptors have split eight games since Siakam was injured during a loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Nov 4.
"Not having Pascal is one thing, but the other numerous guys out was probably another," Nurse said. "I'd say when you look at it in totality, 4-4 with all the bodies that are out is probably OK."
Although they are shorthanded, the Raptors will now try to take advantage of the Nets, who will be playing the second game of a back-to-back after a 115-106 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.
Kyrie Irving scored 23 points for the Nets and Kevin Durant added 20. Ben Simmons, a former 76er, had 11 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists and was showered with boos in his return to Philadelphia.
Former Raptor Yuta Watanabe, now with the Nets, leads the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage among qualified players at 57.1 percent (24 of 42).
Watanabe (right hamstring strain) did not play Tuesday after combining for 36 points and 9-for-13 shooting from deep over the previous two games.
With Durant drawing attention and Simmons pushing the tempo, Watanabe has made the most of the clear looks that come as a result.
"Yeah, my shots are easy because of KD, Ben, those guys pushing the ball, giving me great passes," Watanabe told The New York Post. "So I've got to appreciate them for giving me great passes. And my job is just to make those open shots. So, I'm going to just keep shooting with confidence. I know I can do that."
Durant has a lot of faith in Watanabe, too.
"He's playing great," Durant said. "We love his energy. He's hitting big shots for us. So you always get excited for your teammates, especially guys who come in and don't necessarily have a guaranteed spot on the team but work their way into the rotation and put their imprint on the game from Day 1."
