I recently sent a friend an article from an online magazine that tore into firefighters from a few angles, including whether it is appropriate to refer to them as real heroes. My friend has been a fire service leader for many years and is very well respected in the industry. His response to me contained only seven words: “What a difference 10 years can make.”
A few weeks have passed since I received my friend’s email, so I’ve had time to reflect on what he said and realize how right he is. Ten years ago, firefighters were on top when it came to respect, prestige and support. Now, they are under attack. Ten years ago, the public witnessed many heroic acts by firefighters, including (but not limited to) the incredible courage and personal sacrifice displayed by FDNY members at the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. The outpouring of public support was significant. In the years that followed, firefighters and the fire service reaped the benefits of this elite public recognition.
About three years ago, however, at the onset of the recession, one could sense things were changing. If this shift goes unchecked, there could be an irreversible change in public support for firefighters that could seriously impact the overall level of influence held by the fire service at the national, state and local levels.
• Salaries, pensions and other benefits – Ten years ago, firefighters were considered underpaid and there was strong public sentiment that they should be better compensated. Because of obstacles to higher pay, pensions and other benefits were enhanced in many jurisdictions. Not only did pensions provide financial security in retirement, they also enhanced firefighter and public safety. Firefighting, EMS, hazmat and special operations are demanding and strenuous. It was thought that high levels of performance could be maintained by moving firefighters into retirement before their mid-50s. Public officials embraced this idea and developed total-compensation packages that offered better pay, realistic pension programs, adequate health insurance and other benefits.
• Outsourcing and privatization of emergency services – These are not new concepts. Local government agencies, including fire departments, have instituted these practices for many years with varying degrees of success. Fire departments have done so mostly in non-emergency functions. But now we see departments outsourcing and privatizing emergency services more than in the past. This is a dangerous path to take, for it will negatively impact service delivery, firefighter safety and the safety of the public. From a financial perspective alone, savings can be realized only by cutting corners in staffing, training, compensation and equipment.
• The economy and current political climate – We all understand the seriousness of the current economy and the need to stabilize budgets at all levels of government. But perhaps we lack a clear understanding of what caused this recession. No, it was not caused by the greed of firefighters, teachers, police officers and other government workers, as some would have you believe. Instead, this recession was created primarily by the greed and irresponsible acts of some of the most wealthy and influential people in our society. Firefighters have been unfairly derided for financial problems plaguing jurisdictions in our nation, yet firefighters throughout the country have willingly stepped up to help in these troubled times. They have taken reductions in pay, furloughs and days off, and are now making higher pension and health insurance contributions to help their employers balance their budgets. But this is not “news.” Instead, the headlines are about a few salary and pension abuses that are being represented as the norm.
The fire service has always had its detractors. In many cases, these people are not new players; they are simply acting out old agendas and using the current economic and political climates as tools to do so. We should not accept this.
We in the fire service must redouble our efforts to enhance our political standing and our public image beyond what we have achieved in the past. Our leaders must become even more innovative, efficient and progressive in managing our nation’s fire departments. We must work together to build, financially and operationally, more effective fire departments. This will create political and public support that is stronger than ever before. If we are willing to put forth a collective effort at all levels of government, perhaps the members of the fire service can look back in the year 2021 and say, as my friend did, “What a difference 10 years can make.”

(CNN) — Visitors to the Virginia Zoo had a once-in-a-lifetime experience after a giraffe unexpectedly gave birth right in front of them.
Imara, an endangered Maasai giraffe, gave birth to her ninth calf on Sept. 9, according to a Facebook post from the zoo.
Maasai giraffes, one of four giraffe subspecies, are listed as “endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Giraffes, found in Tanzania and Kenya, have suffered significant population declines due to poaching and habitat loss.
The calf was born with a weight of 55 kilos and a height of 1.80 meters, which is very appropriate considering that giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world.
The calf was named Tisa, which means “nine” in Swahili, as a nod to her mother’s parity and her birthday, according to a zoo news release.
Tisa is “healthy and full of personality,” says the zoo. Shortly after her birth, visitors were able to see the newborn get up and start nursing.
And since September 19 he is already learning to run, says the press release.
Imara and the calf’s father, Billy, were paired on the recommendation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan, the zoo explains. As the species is in danger of extinction, “the birth of this new calf is especially important.”
With Tisa’s inclusion, the Virginia Zoo now houses a total of five giraffes.

Restoring Your Connection While in Recuperation from Dependency
A medication or alcohol addiction takes the addicted person and also their loved ones on a tumultuous and also unpredictable trip with a wide variety of feelings and mentally, physically, as well as psychologically laborious circumstances. This can be extremely laborious for your companion or partner, and also can lot of times wreak havoc on the extremely foundation that you have actually established as well as developed your connection on.
Recuperation could be a difficult process, particularly within the time straight following your sobriety. Just because a person is in healing, does not imply that of their battles have actually settled themselves. Recuperation is a time when you continuously build off the work that you put in while moving to your soberness, job that additionally should take place within the context of your partnership.
An Addiction And Also Recuperation Influences Both Parties
A healthy connection is built on lots of things, however trust, communication, sincerity, commitment, as well as perseverance are a few of the most elemental practices within any type of connection, but specifically within those that have actually suffered the destruction important misuse or addiction. Inversely, these are in lots of instances the healthful techniques that are most often compromised or broken by the ravages of an addiction.
This is a two-way street-- the person that experienced the dependency and also is currently in recuperation requires the assistance of those around them, while the partner or spouse wants the solidarity of having a sober as well as reputable loved one. Both celebrations have to hold your horses and also understand that the recuperation, though leading to the previous medicine or alcohol user themselves, does also extend to the partner or spouse.
Now that you've become sober, you might be eager to correct the damage incurred by your dependency. This consists of wishing to fix the damages done to your partnership. In some conditions, your companion or partner could have waited you via the totality of your therapy as well as rehab.
For some couples, the partner might have taken a go back, waiting till you have actually finished these points, and also currently may be the moment that they want to begin dealing with the connection once again. In various other instances, the damages and also anxiety of a dependency may be so terrific that your partner or partner could not be as responsive or excited to dig back into the relationship as you might have hoped.
The Partnership Could Not Be What You Wish
In specific situations, you could locate that following your recovery, your companion has to relax or time away. This can be very difficult for you as it could compel you to emulate a sense of solitude, seclusion, or blame-- feelings that might have previously been linked to your drug or alcohol use. This transition could apply anxiety that if left unattended might endanger your sobriety. Below it is very important to use the coping skills that you discovered within your treatment or recovery.
If you ended up being sober on your own, this could be one more great time to connect and seek the guidance of a specialist or support group to make sure that you may discover ways to manage the anxiety while developing and also executing positive coping skills that will benefit you both currently and also in the future. Even if you have currently discovered these things, connecting to one of these venues could refresh as well as re-instill these important ideas and techniques.
In any one of these circumstances, you need to attempt and recognize the quantity of anxiety as well as emotional turmoil that your companion experienced throughout your addiction, and also understand that they as well need time to recover and unwind after whatever they've experienced. Keep in mind, while you may have had the chance to require time away in rehabilitation to obtain your life, thoughts, and feelings on course, they have continued to be in their regular life, feeling your lack, potentially balancing their obligations as well as several of yours, while rather most likely not having had proper time in which to take a remainder as well as take those very same healing steps for themselves.
Remember, after a dependency, you in lots of methods need to basically relearn ways to become much more generous and familiar with those around you. Throughout the course of your dependency, as your material use and misuse escalated, it is most likely that you allow your partner's demands as well as the demands of your connection be up to the wayside.
Handling Unsafe Emotions
Adverse emotions are something that you as well as your partner are most likely very aware of. These emotions could have led you to substance abuse in the first place, or arised from it. For your companion, complicated emotions commonly arise as a reaction to the scenarios that your chemical abuse inflicted on them.
Just because an individual remains in healing, does not suggest that they are free from these points. Quite the contrary-- recovery is a time that could produce brand-new emotions as well as revive old ones. Anxiety, blame (both towards yourself or your companion), solitude, and also shame are several of the most common. This commonly originates from the realization that your lives have been commonly transformed by your medicine or alcohol abuse, and the overwhelming nature of the job that you yet need to take into it to remedy things.
This is why an excellent treatment and also recovery program hangs out training you ways to stabilize, procedure, and handle these feelings on your own. This is not to state that you should not depend on your companion for assistance, just that you should be mindful to not take more than they have the ability to give at any provided time within your recuperation, as this can produce the other effect as well as stimulate a lot more damage as well as animosity.
Now that you're within your recuperation, and also functioning towards strengthening both the relationship you have with yourself as well as your companion, you have Bonuses to reinvest in healthy and balanced techniques to protect you and your relationship versus damages from these points.
Recovery Does Not Happen Overnight
For a recently recuperated person, it could be appealing to desire every little thing to obtain far better simultaneously. You need to be especially conscientious about not establishing unrealistic exceptions on your own or your loved ones. Doing so could result in a potentially damaging situation in the future, one that could offer you with emotions or conditions that are overwhelming or complicated to the factor of threatening your healing.
There is a factor you commonly hear healing referred to as a journey-- throughout the training course of recuperation, the recouping specific and their liked ones will remain to deal with obstacles as well as stresses. Constructing a solid sense of self within these altered functions as well as a strong as well as open relationship are 2 points that not just assist to ensure a greater opportunity of success for lasting soberness, yet also for the connection.
Right here we detail official source a few of the extra critical methods that you could work with independently and also as a pair to assist guarantee that your relationship is strong enough to contend with these obstacles when and also if they should arise.

Rebuilding Your Relationship While in Recovery from Dependency Ask Concerns
Ask Questions: Points have transformed. In some abilities you cannot go back, while in others it is essential that you reacquaint yourself with your partner's demands, passions, feelings, thoughts, and goals. While this experience has changed your partner, you have to remember that they might really feel shed within the scenarios that have surrounded your drug use, therapy, and also healing. It is essential that they feel seen and identified. Inquire just how they really feel, just what they require, and also just what you could do to make this transition much easier for them.
Be prepared for their answers, as they might not constantly be just what you anticipate or what you want to hear. Honesty is among the most crucial principles of recuperation, and also if your companion reveals something to you that is difficult to hear or makes you awkward, bear in mind to respond in a manner that is visit this web-site conducive to healing, while striving not to react in temper or closing down.
Subsequently, be open when your companion asks you concerns. Strive to address them to the most effective of your capacity. The even more your companion detects your openness, the less complicated it will certainly be for them to develop count on and mercy.
Rebuilding Your Partnership While in Recuperation from Dependency Interaction
Communication: We can not stress sufficient just how crucial appropriate and healthy communication is within any kind of connection, but specifically one that is experiencing the pressures and also changes of recuperation. A dependency can bring numerous changes to a person's life and their relationship; so can recuperation. As much as you both might want to move forward and also place your past behind you, it is essential that you both are open to discussing the past and also taking a look at the ways that the addiction impacted you.
This is crucial to ensure that you can recover and also locate mercy while constructing the sincerity, count on, and borders that are important in supplying both a healthy framework for you, the individual in healing, and for your partnership. You both have to provide each various other ample time to connect, which implies you each should aim to become excellent audiences.

The dentist’s response has racked up an impressive 1.1 million views
A new viral TikTok trend has taken the app by storm, which involves toothpaste, mouthwash and a clear container.
The ‘hack’, when first shared, involved a woman creating a mixture from toothpaste and mouthwash before transferring it to a clear soap dispenser – making the distribution that little bit easier by applying just one pump to the toothbrush.
While this ‘hack’ may look innocent and aesthetically pleasing for organisation fanatics, one dentist has now taken to the app to advise against it.
In a response that has since racked a staggering 1.1 million views, Dr Suhail Mohiuddin’s (@dr.m_) titled the video ‘Clever! But should you try this?’
His video shows snippets of the hack before adding his own input, with the caption ‘Dentist’s advice on this viral trend’.
The TikTok received hundreds of curious comments @dr.m_/TikTok
The dentist asked viewers if they have ever seen toothpaste in a clear tube before @dr.m_/TikTok
The TikToker adds the mixture of toothpaste and mouthwash to a clear soap dispenser @dr.m_/TikTok
Dr Mohiuddin then takes to the camera and asks: “Ok, here’s a question, have you ever seen toothpaste in a clear tube before? Nope.”
“The ingredients in toothpaste aren’t UV-stable, so exposing them to light makes them ineffective”, he adds before advising his 581.4K followers: “Please don’t do this.”
The dentist urged people to not try the ‘trick’ at home @dr.m_/TikTok
Hundreds of curious TikTokers flocked to the dentist’s video to comment. Many failed to understand the aim of the ‘hack’. “Why do people want to go through all this work to fix something that isn’t broken”, one said.
Another highlighted, “Why are there people out there making 32 steps for a 2 step problem?”
“Every time I saw this, I thought ‘if this worked, they would've pushed this already for profit’... Something isn’t right”, a third pointed out.

Christmas ornament making has history in my family. My great-grandmother made beautiful ornaments for years. Though I remember several things about her, one my clearer memories is her sitting in her living room with a TV tray table in front of her full of pins and sequins that she was using to craft an ornament. One of my most-prized ornaments on our Christmas tree is this one that she made and I received from my family when my grandparents’ Christmas decorations were being divided up among the family after they passed away.
Perhaps somewhat following in her footsteps I began making ornaments a few years ago. Though I love the intricate beauty in great-grandma’s ornaments the ones I make seem much simpler. Or, they at least require fewer pieces to create. In spite of that they inspire some of the same feelings of appreciation for loving work that hers have throughout the years.
I’ve made several versions of crocheted snowflakes, but this one has become my go-to, a favorite in several colors. I printed the pattern from Caron yarn’s website a few years ago and can’t find it online now. The first year I made them in a variety of colors for friends and this year used a yarn that has a bit of sparkle in it, which was a favorite for my daughter. Though there are lots of snowflake patterns around, I really have enjoyed using this one.
This candy cane was a new pattern for me this year. It turned out pretty cute, but a bit large. I started another one using crochet thread instead of yarn, but working with the thread took a lot more concentration than using the yarn and I decided it just wasn’t worth my time 🙂 You can find this pattern on Yarnspiration’s site. So far I’ve made just the one for our tree in traditional red and white. I thought about making some for gifts but would like them to be a bit smaller.
And, then there is this one… a basket with yarn. It seemed like a fun addition to our tree since it represents my creative work with yarn. Like everything else it could be customized with any color of yarn in the basket, I just used some that was readily available from other projects. The pattern is available free from Red Heart yarn.
It’s been fun making these and sharing some of them with friends. I look forward to continuing great-grandma’s legacy of adding some handmade beauty to Christmas and look forward to passing on the tradition to my sweet girl as she grows. She’s already been busy making her own ornaments to share using foam and stickers. Seeing her joy in creating was a highlight to the season this year. We’ll be packing up the tree soon and likely won’t think about the ornaments for months. But, next year when it’s time to decorate again brining them out will be a fun reminder of family love and the joy that creating can bring.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Viscose Staple Fiber Market - Segmented by Production Process, Application, and Geography - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2018 - 2023)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global viscose staple fiber market valued at 5,594.08 kilotons in 2017 and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.45% during the forecast period, 2018 to 2023.
The United States and China are the top two retail markets for apparels. Moreover, countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and Russia also hold a significant demand for apparels. India and Brazil are the fastest emerging market for apparels. This will boost the apparel & clothing market, which in turn, will uplift the demand for viscose staple fibers.
Asia-Pacific had the highest share in the market, accounting for around 62% of the global market in 2017. As textile production capacities continue to shift to Asia from Europe and North America, consumption growth has started to expand in Asia-Pacific region.
The Chinese VSF industry has been witnessing a major issue of surplus production capacities. The government has released new regulations for limiting the viscose capacities in the country. Furthermore, the wages in China have been increasing gradually, due to of which, the textile production is expected to shift to low-wage ASEAN countries, thereby, affecting the sales of VSF in the country. The surplus production capacities and record high cotton inventories are estimated to dominate the global market over the forecast period.

There are situations where there is a security requirement to assure the confidentiality or integrity of network traffic in an OpenStack deployment. This is generally achieved using cryptographic measures, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
In a typical deployment all traffic transmitted over public networks is secured, but security best practice dictates that internal traffic must also be secured. It is insufficient to rely on security domain separation for protection. If an attacker gains access to the hypervisor or host resources, compromises an API endpoint, or any other service, they must not be able to easily inject or capture messages, commands, or otherwise affect the management capabilities of the cloud.
All domains should be secured with TLS, including the management domain services and intra-service communications. TLS provides the mechanisms to ensure authentication, non-repudiation, confidentiality, and integrity of user communications to the OpenStack services and between the OpenStack services themselves.
Due to the published vulnerabilities in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols, we strongly recommend that TLS is used in preference to SSL, and that SSL is disabled in all cases, unless compatibility with obsolete browsers or libraries is required.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the framework for securing communication in a network. It consists of a set of systems and processes to ensure traffic can be sent securely while validating the identity of the parties. The PKI profile described here is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Public Key Infrastructure (PKIX) profile developed by the PKIX working group. The core components of PKI are:
PKI builds the framework on which to provide encryption algorithms, cipher modes, and protocols for securing data and authentication. We strongly recommend securing all services with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), including the use of TLS for API endpoints. It is impossible for the encryption or signing of transports or messages alone to solve all these problems. Hosts themselves must be secure and implement policy, namespaces, and other controls to protect their private credentials and keys. However, the challenges of key management and protection do not reduce the necessity of these controls, or lessen their importance.
Components, services, and applications within the OpenStack ecosystem or dependencies of OpenStack are implemented or can be configured to use TLS libraries. The TLS and HTTP services within OpenStack are typically implemented using OpenSSL which has a module that has been validated for FIPS 140-2. However, keep in mind that each application or service can still introduce weaknesses in how they use the OpenSSL libraries.
We recommend that only TLS 1.2 is used. Other versions such as TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are vulnerable to multiple attacks. TLS 1.0 should be disabled in your environment. TLS 1.1 may be used for broad client compatibility, however exercise caution when enabling this protocol. Only enable TLS version 1.1 if there is a mandatory compatibility requirement and you are aware of the risks involved. All versions of SSL, the predecessor to TLS, must not be used due to multiple public vulnerabilities.
When you are using TLS 1.2 and control both the clients and
the server, the cipher suite should be limited to
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384. In circumstances where you do not
control both endpoints and are using TLS 1.1 or 1.2 the more general
HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!DES:!3DES:!SSLv3:!TLSv1:!CAMELLIA is a
reasonable cipher selection.
However, as this book does not intend to be a thorough reference on cryptography we do not wish to be prescriptive about what specific algorithms or cipher modes you should enable or disable in your OpenStack services. There are some authoritative references we would like to recommend for further information:
Given the complexity of the OpenStack components and the number of deployment possibilities, you must take care to ensure that each component gets the appropriate configuration of TLS certificates, keys, and CAs. Subsequent sections discuss the following services:

The boys race back,
crawling over the rotting downed tree, and through the woods.
They can see the house through the barren limbs of the trees,
branches that stick out,
their branching fingers trying to block their view of home.
They push through those branches, some twisted in odd directions,
misshapen bony arms that were broken and healed to grow that way.
They focus on the house through the trees. Home.
They break free of the woods into the sudden freedom of their yard.
Their boots slip on the snow, sloppy wet from the early spring melt.
A discarded bike lies on the ground, half buried,
sticking out of the snow
like the skeletal remains of a man fallen in an odd position.
“The grass,” Kevin calls breathlessly as they run for the house.
“We must have imagined it,” Jesse pants.
They charge into the house again, kicking off their boots,
racing past the comic and discarded socks, to the kitchen again, calling.
She isn’t there.
They search the house again.
“She’s not here.”
“Come on,” Kevin urges.
They head to the back door again,
pulling their boots on, and going out.
They go around to the side, heading for the front.
“Kevin! Kevin!” Jesse cries.
Kevin blinks, disoriented.
It’s hard to breathe, a crushing weight is pressing down on his chest.
He tries to move and can’t.
He’s pinned down.
Kevin is laying on his back in the snow.
He stares at the bare branches of bushes pushing up
through the snow around him and the bare branches of trees above.
“Jessie? What’s happening?” His voice is cracking with fear.
He is pinned beneath
the rotting fallen tree they had climbed over earlier.
“How?” he croaks.
“Kevin?” Jesse’s voice is shaky.
Jesse takes a step back,
staring fixatedly ahead, stopped by a tree behind him.
“Kevin, what’s happening?”
Before him is the rotting old stump,
its sharp splinters and points of shattered wood sticking up,
soft and crumbly with rot.
He feels vertigo, the world seems tilted,
and he feels the sickening sensation of falling.
Falling on the sharp jagged edges sticking up from the stump.
He imagines himself impaled and his blood oozing out
to drip down the stump, staining the snow and rotting leaves.
He turns and staggers away, looking for Kevin.
He takes four or five steps before he spots him.
Jesse runs and falls on him,
clawing at the snow and the downed tree,
his fingers scratching at the rotting wood,
trying to dig at the ground still hardened with the winter frost.
He’s sobbing as he frantically tries to dig his brother out.

The rumor is Rihanna’s latest tattoo is significant because of her mainstay bae, Drake.
Apparently Rihanna and Drake went on a date to an aquarium in Toronto where Drake bought her a stuffed shark, which inspired the singer’s latest ink:
I hope the tattoo is for Drake! I love these two together.
That said, a tattoo for a significant other is usually the kiss of death.
May it not be in this case!
What do you think of the tattoo?

CR is One of the Best Cities to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
The week is finally here! St. Patrick's Day is coming up on Saturday and I. Am. PUMPED! I absolutely love St. Patrick's Day, partially because I'm Irish, and partially because I enjoy holidays where I get to dress festively and day drink. Irish or not, people all across America will be celebrating St. Paddy's Day this weekend, including right here in Cedar Rapids. And, I have some good news for those of you planning to spend your Saturday in CR: you are in one of the 50 BEST cities to celebrate!
According to WalletHub, both Cedar Rapids and Des Moines made the list of the 50 best cities for St. Patrick's Day celebrations. They looked at the 200 biggest cities in the U.S. and used 17 key metrics to determine their rankings. Des Moines beat us by just a little bit, coming in at number 30, but Cedar Rapids wasn't far behind at number 39. We came in 49th place for cost, 44th for traditions, and 33rd for safety and accessibility. The only category we did poorly in is weather, but this is the Midwest. We know what we've gotten ourselves into.
I'm also happy to announce that Cedar Rapids came in 3rd place overall for "highest % of Irish population."
If you still want to get away for the St. Patrick's Day holiday, the top three cities are Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia.
Where will you be celebrating St. Paddy's Day this year? Share your favorite place to go in the comments below!

Favourite Subject: Art
Family: She lives with her dad, mom and grandmother (Yan Lin is now living in Kandrakar)
Character: Creative, optimist and fun loving
Passions: Drawing, designing and sowing
Hay Lin was born on the 4. June, her birth sign is therefore Gemini. She is of Chinese origins. She is a very positive and out going girl, she can’t hold a grudge for very long. She was raised on Heatherfield, and have never been on a real vacation, since the family own a restaurant. Hay Lin is rather cheerful, and light spirited. She is a dreamer, with a big D. She is extremely gifted when it comes to creativity, she can draw, paint and sow. Hay Lin enjoys everything with science fiction, her room is filed with aliens. When it comes to humor, it’s easy to see that Hay Lin and Irma are best friends. Their humor is a lot a like, though Hay Lin isn’t as extreme in her way of saying it. Hay Lin is not the athletic type, she enjoys being inside in the rain and drawing. Though she has stared at the Jensen Dance Academy, not that she dances a whole lot, but she is the teams cloth designer. In school Hay tries to make all subjects to something creative, and it works almost every time. She has a tendency to write everything on her hand, that was also the first place we saw W.i.t.c.h. being written (Hay Lin came up with the name). Hay Lin doesn’t have a very active love life, she is deeply in love with a guy named Eric. He is her first love, though they are far apart.
Hay Lin lives with her dad, mom and grandmother, in a Chinese restaurant called Silver Dragon. Her dad is a kind of leaned back business man, he is all for the restaurant, but he is a very caring father as well. Her mom takes care of the rest of the house, we don’t see her that much. Her grandmother was and is everything to Hay Lin. They have a very strong bond. Yan Lin is a old fashion Chinese, she knows a lot about the old traditions and stories, which sometimes help the girls on their adventures.The rest of the restaurant is also a part of Hay Lin’s family. Mainly we hear about the cook, whom has very bad teeth! But there is one more family member, who don’t get mush credit. The Silver Dragon guardian, he comes out if the family is in danger. He came out when Cornelia’s past was being deleted.
Hay Lin is the last girl in the group, and she is the air guardian.

Star Wars Rebel Starfighters
Three of the most popular starfighters from Star Wars have landed in a galaxy near you. This set includes three classic Rebel starfighters: A-wing, Y-wing and X-wing.
The X-wing has movable S Foils that can fold into attack position. The classic red stripe is also incorporated into the main design. The A-wing has the classic two tone color appearance and hollow thrusters. And the Y-wing features an arrow head style front cockpit, as well as, large hollow thrusters at the rear.
These three vehicles are slightly larger in scale than some of their polybag versions. This slight increase in size allows for more movie accurate versions and more realistic features.

LCMS - Warehouse and Authoring
FEBRUARY 1, 2011
I’ve received some good feedback on my post Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) for Managing Course Assets. One thing is pretty clear, LCMS tools have really headed towards a kind of super Authoring tool and there's a related but quite distinct need for support for a Warehouse. The need for the Warehouse - keeping track of learning content assets across the organization has its own set of requirements. Another problem solved by LCMS technology.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Millions spent maintaining empty Kapyong Barracks during lengthy dispute
OTTAWA — Taxpayers have spent nearly $15 million over the last eight years maintaining the vacant Kapyong Barracks site while the federal government fights a land claim for the site by Treaty One First Nations.
A few years ago, the Department of Defence reported the annual cost to maintain the site, including the 41 buildings, was $1.95 million. A Department of Defence spokeswoman recently told the Free Press that dropped to $1.5 million in 2011 when the six buildings that were still being used were emptied.
Since the barracks were abandoned by the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Unit in 2004, taxpayers have spent $14.7 million on the empty barracks, including for utilities, operations and maintenance, property taxes, site security and site management.
"Good grief," said Manitoba NDP MP Pat Martin. "The government’s stubborn intransigence on this file is costing us a fortune."
A 1997 agreement with Treaty One First Nations gave them the right of first refusal when surplus federal land became available. However when Ottawa officially declared the land surplus in 2007, it planned to to sell the site to the Canada Lands Company for $8.6 million. CLC, a Crown corporation that redevelops surplus federal land, planned a mix of homes and businesses on the site.
The seven Treaty One First Nations went to court to challenge the decision shortly after. In 2009, a federal court judge ordered Ottawa to freeze any sale of the land until consultations were undertaken with the bands. That decision was rescinded on appeal in 2011 and the case was returned to the lower court for another hearing. A second federal judge last month again ordered Ottawa to consult with the First Nations, this time four of the seven.
Ottawa has until the end of this week to decide whether to appeal. A spokeswoman for Defence Minister Peter MacKay said earlier this week the government is still reviewing the court decision.
"It is important to note that every year our government conducts over 5,000 consultations with First Nations and that the court’s ruling does not make a determination on claims to the land," said Paloma Aguilar, MacKay’s spokeswoman.
Peguis First Nation Chief Glenn Hudson said this week there have been some conversations between the Treaty One nations and Ottawa since the court decision but no negotiations.
"I won’t be surprised if they appeal," said Hudson.
He said the fact Ottawa has spent more maintaining the empty barracks than it ever will selling the land, no matter the outcome, is something "people will need to look at."
Hudson said the First Nations want to develop the land as an economic-development project for their reserves, and that they are willing to work with all interested parties to get the best development for everyone.
"We are open to sitting and discussing on the best possible outcome that serves not only First Nations but the city of Winnipeg."
A high-placed Conservative government source told the Free Press in December the government was open to selling the land to the First Nations but only on the condition the land not to be turned into an urban reserve.
Aguilar said disposing excess federal land can be a lengthy process that takes into account aboriginal, environmental, archeological and heritage concerns.
"Our government works diligently to ensure that property no longer needed by the Canadian Armed Forces is disposed of in an efficient and responsible manner."

Many enterprises are making fundamental changes to their business processes by using advanced IT applications to achieve enhanced productivity and operational efficiencies. As a result, the underlying network architecture to support these applications is evolving to better accommodate this new model.
As data availability becomes a critical requirement, many businesses are devoting more resources to ensure continuous operation. Enterprises are provisioning dedicated networks to guarantee performance metrics for applications without compromising security.
Although maintaining uninterruptible access to all data center applications is desirable, the economics of business-continuance require network operators to prioritize applications according to their importance to the business. As a result, data centers need a range of business-continuance solutions to accommodate this goal, from simple tape backup and remote replication to synchronous mirroring and mirrored distributed data centers.
Enterprises can enhance application resilience in several ways, including the following:
- Removing single points of server failure by deploying high-availability clusters or load-balancing technology across web and application servers
- Extending the deployment of these clusters in different data centers to protect against major disruptions
User access is as important as downtime protection and data recovery. Following a disruption, how long can the business afford for users to be without access to applications? Companies are employing technologies such as Global Site Selector that enable users to manually or automatically connect to an alternative site running the application they need.
Businesses run tens and often hundreds of applications, each of which might have differing continuance requirements, measured in a time-to-recovery and data-loss perspective. IT groups need to match the associated characteristics and cost of a business-continuance solution to the potential business and consider which technologies to deploy where problems impact data, applications, and user access.
Cisco delivers scalable, secure, and cost-effective technology that helps enterprises build end-to-end backup and recovery solutions and disaster recovery solutions. These solutions include the following:
- High-availability data center networking and storage-area networks for nonstop access to applications and data
- Synchronized distributed data centers for continuous service over WANs in the event of site disruptions
- Synchronous disk mirroring and replication over WANs for fast recovery and zero data loss
- Asynchronous data replication over IP networks for remote data protection
- Consolidated backup to tape or near-line disk and remote electronic vaulting over enterprise-wide storage networks for consistent protection of distributed data
Each of these solutions requires the appropriate network infrastructure to help ensure that user-specific availability, performance, distance, and latency requirements are met. In addition, enterprises require a resilient, integrated business-continuance network infrastructure to protect three key areas in the event of a disruption:
- User access
Overview of High-Availability Clusters
High-availability (HA) clusters operate by using redundant computers or nodes that provide services when system components fail. Normally, if a server with a particular application crashes, the application is unavailable until the problem is resolved. HA clustering remedies this situation by detecting hardware/software faults, and immediately providing access to the application on another system without requiring administrative intervention. This process is known as failover.
HA clusters are often used for key databases, file sharing on a network, business applications, and customer services such as e-commerce websites. HA cluster implementations attempt to build redundancy into a cluster to eliminate single points of failure. These implementations include multiple network connections and data storage that connects via storage-area networks (SAN).
HA clusters usually are built with two separate networks:
- The public network: Used to access the active node of the cluster from outside the data center
- The private network: Used to interconnect the nodes of the cluster for private communications within the data center and to monitor the health and status of each node in the cluster
Public Network Attachment
For the public network (facing the nodes cluster), the server often is enabled by a dualhoming mechanism with one network interface card (NIC) configured in active state and one NIC configured in standby state. If a link to the active NIC fails, or the NIC loses connectivity with its default gateway, the operating system performs a failover. A NIC failover for a public network has no affect on cluster availability because the heartbeat mechanism and NICs in active/standby mode for public access are two separate handcheck mechanisms.
The network design must provide the highest availability for the LAN infrastructure. To achieve this goal, the teaming service or dual-homing should be distributed between different access switches, which in turn should be connected to different aggregation switches, as illustrated in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Extending the public network.
Private Network Attachment
The private network primarily carries cluster heartbeat, or keepalive, messages. Other server-to-server communications that occur on this private network include the following:
- Cluster data
- Cluster file system data
- Application data (back-end)
The private network is a nonrouted network that shares the same Layer 2 VLAN between the nodes of the cluster even when extended across multiple sites. In a campus cluster environment, heartbeats are sent via the private network from node to node of the HA cluster using a proprietary Layer 2 (nonroutable) protocol. The servers manage the I/O by sending traffic over all interfaces and by preventing traffic from being sent over a failing path. This approach provides resiliency in the event of a NIC failure on a server.
The heartbeat is the most important component of the cluster that uses the private network interconnection. However, if all paths go down for more than 10 seconds (applicable for most HA clusters), a split-brain situation can occur, which prompts the cluster framework to check the number of votes and decide which server or servers will continue as the members in the cluster. Nodes that lose cluster membership assume that they are isolated, and any applications that run on those nodes terminate. Surviving nodes know that the nonsurviving nodes have stopped, and the cluster will then restart the applications.
Although some HA cluster vendors recommend disabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for the private interconnect infrastructure, such a drastic measure is neither necessary nor recommended when using Cisco Catalyst switches. In fact, Cisco has since provided the PortFast feature, which puts an access port into forwarding mode immediately after link up without losing loop-detection capabilities. To avoid connectivity delays, PortFast must be enabled on all access interfaces connecting cluster nodes. This rule also applies to any servers connected to the switch. The IEEE also defines the PortFast concept within the Rapid STP 802.1w standard under the edge port designation. In addition, Cisco supports Per-VLAN Spanning Tree, which maintains a spanning-tree instance for each VLAN configured in the network.

•WHO has said Omicron is potentially dangerous, poses a high risk of infection surges around the globe and could lead to severe consequences in some regions.
•Tarik told The Times that in assigning names, WHO avoids “causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic groups.”
Looking at the Greek alphabet, you can easily pick the next Covid-19 variant name.
The new Covid-19 variant announced by South Africa on November 23 should have been called ‘Nu’ or ‘Xi’, but these two names were skipped. Why?
The naming system announced by the World Health Organisation last May is simple, easy to say and remember because it follows letters of the Greek alphabet.
For instance, the variant that emerged in the United Kingdom in September last year is no longer called the UK strain or the difficult to remember B.1.1.7.
It was assigned the first letter of the Greek alphabet, Alpha.
The WHO tracking page shows there are now 12 different variants with each having a Greek letter.
When the South African scientists announced the new variant, it should easily have been named “Nu”, the 13th letter of the Greek alphabet.
The WHO explained that ‘Nu' was skipped because it could be mistaken as the English word 'new.’
This means the variant sequenced in South Africa should then have been named according to the next letter – Xi.
WHO has said this variant is potentially dangerous, poses a high risk of infection surges around the globe and could lead to severe consequences in some regions.
There is no way it was not going to be named Xi, the name of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“‘Nu’ is too easily confounded with ‘new’. And ‘Xi’ was not used because it is a common last name,” said Tarik Jasarevic, a WHO spokesman, according to New York Times.
So it was named Omicron, the 15th letter of the alphabet.
Tarik told The Times that in assigning names, WHO avoids “causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic groups.”
Viruses constantly change through mutation. When a virus has one or more new mutations it’s called a variant of the original virus.
The WHO may designate variants as a Variant of Concern or a Variant of Interest due to shared attributes and characteristics that may require public health action.
WHO says a Variant of Interest (VOI) has genetic changes that are predicted or known to affect virus characteristics such as transmissibility, disease severity, immune escape, diagnostic or therapeutic escape.
It must have been identified to cause significant community transmission or multiple Covid-19 clusters, in multiple countries with increasing relative prevalence alongside increasing number of cases over time, or other apparent epidemiological impacts to suggest an emerging risk to global public health.
Variants of Concern (VOC) is a variant that meets the definition of a VOI and has been demonstrated to: Increase in transmissibility or detrimental change in Covid-19 epidemiology; Increase in virulence or change in clinical disease presentation; or
Decrease in effectiveness of public health and social measures or available diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics.

THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
A wide area network, or WAN, is deployed to link multiple business networks together. Enterprises already have enough complications under networking. Thus, they are shifting to software-defined networking (SDN), which improves network speed, is much more reliable, cost-efficient to build and user-friendly to operate.
Implementation of SD-WAN by enterprises has resolved a lot of issues, and the benefits to the work explored are countless. SD-WAN boosts the overall performance of a company’s corporate network, thus affecting customer satisfaction in a much positive manner. It directly uses all of the network provisions, improving the agility of a company significantly. As SD-WAN uses software to reroute excess traffic across multiple connections, it becomes much more efficient and flexible. Multiple connections like multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), LTE, and broadband are used for transferring data efficiently from one location to another. SD-WAN reduces jitters in information transfer from one network to another network. It also fixes dropped information packet and improves data transfer. SD-WAN can prioritize the traffic in a company’s network. When compared to carrier class MPLS connections, SD-WAN is extremely cost-efficient and helps an enterprise to draw out their available network connections full potential without the issue of maintaining backups. It makes use of the internet to establish a secure and high performing network to remove backhaul penalties. SD-WAN streamlines the workflow, extending wide area network (WAN) to multiple public clouds, integrates third-party applications such as existing management tools for operational billing services and support. It can be quickly deployed and can manage multiple devices.
SD-WAN is not to be mistaken for WAN optimization tool, and it does not eliminate the necessity of WAN optimization. WAN optimization improves application performance over a distance and can efficiently transport large sets of data. Latency cannot be dismissed with all of the bandwidth in the world, as the physical distance is a fundamental construct that cannot be ignored.
There are plenty of other advantages to the applications of SD-WAN, like increased security and lowering bandwidth costs. IT enterprises have to consider applying hybrid WAN architectures to improve performance and cost benefits of internet circuits.

UMD Researchers Focus Energy on Current Collector Improvements
Much energy has been put into novel battery technology recently as scientists strive to find energy sources that are safe, efficient, low-cost, lightweight, and often, environmentally friendly. All-solid-state batteries, air-batteries, water-based (i.e. aqueous) batteries, and even batteries powered by organic materials, such as grass, are being developed. Very little energy, however, has been paid to the investigation of current collectors used, for example, in aqueous battery systems.
“Current collectors used in today’s aqueous battery systems are usually metal-based materials, which are heavy, expensive, bulky and prone to corrosion after prolonged use,” the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) resarch team - led by MSE Professors Liangbing Hu and Gary Rubloff – stated in their paper.
Instead, the group focused on developing a thin film composed of carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanofibers, which has both high electronic conductivity and mechanical strength.
“The carbon nanotubes provide current pathways – and high conductivity – while the cellulose nanofibers provide mechanical strength to the composite,” said John Hayden, an MSE undergraduate student and a first author on the corresponding research paper. “By blending these two materials, we can make lightweight films that have excellent electrical and mechanical properties, which could be beneficial in many energy applications."
The team demonstrated the film's application as a current collector - the part of the battery that transfers electrons to and from an external circuit. High electrical conductivity is essential to allow for currents produced by a battery to pass. Current collectors must also have sufficient mechanical strength to preserve their structure in the battery.
Not only is this material strong and lightweight, but it’s also resistant to corrosion. The group immersed the material in concentrated sulfuric acid for over four months, and yet, the films maintained their high conductivity. What’s more, the material is quite flexible, which could make it a strong match for wearable energy storage devices.

Nitrification inhibitors show great potential to reduce nitrous oxide emissions, but their effectiveness is not consistent across different soils, crops and climates. Information on the efficacy and the ability of the inhibitors to decrease nitrous oxide production under Australian conditions is also very limited.
The interactions of inhibitors with other soil nitrogen pathways are complex, and a more complete understanding is necessary before CFI methodologies can be established.
This project expanded on the earlier enhanced efficiency fertiliser study by quantifying reductions in nitrous oxide emissions from the use of nitrogen fertilisers amended with nitrification inhibitors.
Four nitrification inhibitors - 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), dicyandiamide (DCD), N-serve and 3MP+TZ - were tested in different soils under a variety of climates relevant to the major Australian agricultural crops.
Tracer techniqueswere used to distinguish nitrous oxide sources, pathways of nitrogen losses and nitrous oxide / nitrogen gas ratios in denitrfication. Molecular techniques will examine key soil microbial mechanisms associated with using inhibitors to explain why they are not always effective.
Researchers aimed to determine why inhibitors work well in some soils and not others by examining key soil microbial mechanisms associated with the nitrification process. Algorithms simulating the impact of inhibitors on nitrous oxide emissions were developed for different farming scenarios, and verified using field trials conducted by collaborators.
Laboratory experiments were conducted using 30 soils. Field experiments enabled a direct comparison with other fertiliser application methodologies being investigated. This was important for understanding the nitrogen-rate response with nitrification inhibitors.
Information from laboratory and field experiments and from the NANORP collaborative projects enabled robust testing of algorithms describing nitrification inhibitor behaviour under different soil-climate conditions.
Across the laboratory studies, nitrifi cation rates were reduced on average by 39% and nitrous oxide emissions by 60%. Some soils showed up to 100% reduction for both measures. Higher soil pH and organic carbon both slightly reduced inhibitor efficacy.
The inhibitors were most effective at reducing nitrous oxide emissions in the vegetable soils, followed by the cropping and sugarcane soils. They were least effective in the pasture soils. The effect of the soil microbial community on inhibitors efficacy is likely to be signifi cant, and requires further investigation.
In the field studies, the nitrification inhibitor-amended fertiliser (urea with ENTEC®) reduced nitrous oxide emissions (dairy: 47%, cropping: 52%) but had no effect on plant productivity. Recovery of fertiliser nitrogen from the topsoil was higher under the inhibitor treatment but there was no difference in plant recovery of applied nitrogen, supporting the observation that inhibitor use did not improve plant productivity.
The project’s findings indicate that nitrification inhibitors have potential for use as an emissions reduction methodology for Australian producers, however the lack of guaranteed productivity benefits from inhibitors use may limit adoption of the products by industry.
The project’s findings provide further verification of PICCC’s other nitrous oxide work, with the inhibitors tested effective at reducing nitrous oxide emissions across a variety of soils and climates.
The research can provide data for the development of an emissions reduction methodology, however without proven productivity benefits, inhibitor-amended fertilisers may remain financially unviable for most Australian production systems.

Arthur Moats has been regarded as one of the highest character individuals ever since he stepped into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room. Moats continued to show that yesterday after donating $300,000 to his alma mater, James Madison.
According to a JMU press release, that money will go to scholarships for the art program and the campus’ Convocation Center. In return, the university will name their weight room after Moats.
“We take great pride in knowing we’re truly making a difference in the valley area and ultimately improving it. The fact that we get to support JMU Athletics in the process is icing on the cake,” Moats said.
Per the release, it’s the largest donation ever made to the university by an individual under the age of 30.
Athletic director Jeff Bourne was obviously grateful for the monetary donation but noted Moats’ impact hasn’t just been financial since graduating.
“[Moats] has been a frequent visitor over the years and a close friend and advocate. When we talk about providing the model student-athlete experience at JMU, one need look no further than Arthur Moats for a living example.”
Moats was a star player at JMU, including racking up 23.5 TFL and 11 sacks his senior season while leading the team with 90 tackles. He’s been known for his community outreach and was named the Buffalo Bills’ Walter Payton Man Of The Year in 2013.
He was in the news last week for his eye poking of Johnny Manziel, something that drew the ire of many Cleveland Browns’ fans, but hopefully this news shows he and his family are genuinely good people and a fine addition to Pittsburgh community.

This week we’ve noticed a couple cool new trends in jewelry. Check out these new ideas for some inspiration! Just click each photo to see its source.
- Morse Code jewelry seems to be taking off lately — a quick Google search reveals a lot of cute inspiration!
You can get a regular, even look to your Morse Code bracelets by using our Japanese delicas for the “dots” and Czech bugles for the “dashes.” Use chain, leather, knotted cord, or a “base color” bead for the spaces between letters and words.
- Bracelets for men are making a comeback.
Favored materials include lava stone, neutral gems, and wood. For a bolder and more colorful look seen in the bottom picture, go for bright or shiny gemstones like turquoise, carnelian, and tiger eye.
- Beaded nail art is on the rise. Tiny beads, such as Size 11 Czech glass seed beads, seem more practical and popular. Beads are perfect for nail art because their holes hold glue well, making them stick for a longer time.
But if you want to go big, don’t hold back! You can incorporate larger beads into your nail art for a bold, one-of-a-kind look.
Just keep in mind that these dramatic styles are probably better for a special event than for a regular, everyday look.
Comment with any new bead-related trends you’ve noticed! And as always, share the inspiration on our #BeadazzledCreations hashtag! Happy beading!

Spit-up is a condition that affects many babies in their first year of life. Normally, it’s not a serious condition, and time plus a few feeding adjustments can help your baby. Here are some deeper findings from the medical community on what causes babies to spit up.
Baby Spit-up: What’s Behind It
There’s a valve between the esophagus and stomach that keeps food down, but in babies, this valve still has to mature and develop. In the meantime, your little one may frequently regurgitate his food. While spit-up usually happens after feeding, it can pretty much happen anytime—when a baby burps, coughs, cries, strains, or is very active. Now you know what causes babies to spit up—and that it can strike at any time—don't get caught without burp cloths or wipes.
Diet’s Role in Baby Reflux
If you’re breastfeeding, you might consider checking your diet. Some moms have found eliminating certain things—like dairy products—reduces the amount of their baby’s spit-up. If you’re formula-feeding or supplementing, a change to a rice-thickened formula may help. Enfamil A.R.™ is clinically proven to reduce spit-up by more than 50%*, while still providing the complete nutrition your baby needs.
Is Spitting Up Cause for Concern?
Research has shown that spit-up is normal due to an infant’s immature digestive system. However, if you’re noticing these symptoms, you should call the doctor:
- Your baby refuses to feed from the bottle or breast.
- He looks like he’s losing weight.
- You see blood in his stool.
- He’s vomiting forcefully.
- He’s crying inconsolably and looks like he’s in pain.
- He’s spitting up a green or yellow fluid.
Surprising Spit-up Research
A recent study showed that doctors who labeled normal spit-up as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) prompted parents to ask for medication, even though it wasn’t warranted or recommended by the doctor. In fact, many parents were counseled that medication would probably not be effective in reducing spit-up.
Remember that spitting up is generally normal in babies under a year and often the solution is time and small feeding adjustments—from gentle formula designed to ease spit-up to frequent burping.
To Learn More
Clear up some common misconceptions about what causes spit-up in babies by reading “Why Do Babies Spit Up? Myth Versus Truth”.
*Based on a clinical study of Enfamil A.R. infant formula before the addition of DHA, ARA, and prebiotics with infants who spit up frequently (five or more spit-ups per day), comparing frequency and volume of spit-up after feeding Enfamil A.R. with the same babies at the beginning of the study.

New Jersey Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers
Slip and fall accidents can occur on either private or commercial property and under many different conditions. If you were injured you may be able to take legal action to recover financial compensation for your injuries as a result of the negligence of the owner or others responsible for your slip and fall accident. If you were injured while in the course of employment you may also be entitled to seek compensation from the workers’ compensation system, as well as the insurance company of the property owner, snow removal contractor, property manager or from the government.
While some people may argue that slip and fall accidents are nothing to make a fuss of, the fact of the matter is, these accidents are often a reflection of dangerous conditions on the property where they occurred. This means that the property owner may be liable for them. Injuries that arise from slip and fall accidents can be severe and, in some cases, life-threatening. The New Jersey slip and fall accident attorneys of the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm understand the how grave these kinds of injuries can be and aim to help victims seek compensation from the liable party.
Kinds Premises Liability Cases
Slip and fall accidents fall under a larger category of law called premises liability. Premises liability laws allow people who have been hurt by dangerous, unsafe, or toxic conditions on a property to hold the property’s owner accountable for failing to address those conditions. The following are a few examples of incidents that can be grounds for property liability cases:
“Slip and falls” and “trip and falls”
Falls due to improper lighting or broken stair handrails
Falls due to snow or ice such as freeze and re-freeze
Trips due to potholes in the parking lots of commercial establishments like shopping malls and supermarkets
Dog bites or animal attacks
Injuries from broken or defective equipment at playgrounds or recreational facilities
Assaults due to negligent or inadequate security
Construction accidents and other workplace injuries
Premises liability claims typically arise when a responsibility to create safe conditions is not met. Personal injury cases resulting from slip and falls can be complicated and it’s important to document the condition that caused your fall. We recommend that our clients try and take photos immediately and get the names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses. Slip and fall injuries become much more commonplace in the wintertime, as there is a much higher danger of slipping and falling, or of hazards being obscured by snow.
Slip and Fall Accidents in the Winter
In the New Jersey it is very common in the winter months to have snow and ice present on walkways, driveways, parking lots, steps and sidewalks. Many people fall during the winter due to snow and ice. There are numerous issues that have to be evaluated when someone falls as a result of snow and ice. Our New Jersey personal injury law firm has tremendous experience representing clients who have fallen due to negligence from improper snow and ice removal, lack of salting and sanding, and or improper drainage. There are many causes of a fall down accident that have to be evaluated promptly.
Determining whether or not there is a potential claim depends on many factors, including answering the following questions:
Where did the slip and fall occur?
Who owned the property where the accident happened?
Was there a recent snowfall or ice storm, or did the slip and fall happen due to accumulated snow or ice that hadn’t been removed according to a local ordinance or poor drainage?
Slip and falls on ice or snow can result in serious injury and, sadly, sometimes death. This is why it is important to consult with a knowledgeable New Jersey Accident lawyer to get information about your legal rights.
Black ice is a very common and treacherous cause of slip and fall accidents in the winter months. There are many causes of the formation of black ice, from poor drainage to improper snow and ice removal, such as piling snow up that then melts and re-freezes.

► Facelift time for Zafira Tourer
► New grille, lights, equipment
► Launches in UK October 2016
Vauxhall has given its Zafira Tourer people carrier an overhaul for 2016, with the revamped seven-seater going on sale in the UK in October.
There’s an extensive facelift up front, with a massive black ’n’ chrome bar across the new, Astra-ish nose, blending into a fresh daytime running light design.
What’s new inside?
A redesigned instrument panel, with a 7in multimedia screen now integrated within the dashboard rather than mounted on top of it. In line with current fashion, certain physical switches have been deleted in favour of touchscreen controls.
Two different multimedia systems are available: the ‘R4.0 IntelliLink’ option which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and the ‘Navi 950 IntelliLink’, which adds factory-fit sat-nav.
Vauxhall’s OnStar system is standard across the range, with a 4G-powered wi-fi hotspot, emergency assistance in the event of a crash, and an array of concierge services.
As before, there’s a sliding storage box and cup-holder mouldings on aluminium rails between the front seats, and the middle seatback in the second row can fold down and rotate, to allow maximum elbow-waggling room for outer-edge passengers. The third row fold flat into the boot floor when not in use.
Anything else I should know?
Adaptive LED headlamps and electronically controlled adaptive dampers are an option, as is the ‘Flex-Fix’ bicycle rack which folds out of the rear bumper, can carry up to four bikes and still enables the tailgate to be opened.
The trademark enormous windscreen extending above the driver and front passengers’ heads is standard on all models, as is a collection of active safety systems including forward collision alert, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.
Prices are yet to be confirmed; expect a modest increase over the current Zafira Tourer’s £17,815 start-off point.

Instead of arrests, officers are handing out palm cards to subway dancers that read, "Make money. Avoid arrest. Dance!" that direct them to participate in outdoor space set aside by the city for the performers to dance safely. The program is part of New York’s attempt to balance the needs of order with the desire to avoid unnecessary entanglements of young men in the justice system.
