On July 16, 2013, Panish Shea & Boyle LLP attorney Spencer Lucas obtained a $19,466,000 jury verdict in the Los Angeles Superior Court for a man and his wife after the man suffered catastrophic injuries when he was hit by a truck while riding his motorcycle.
On December 15, 2009, Janusz Zastawnik was riding his motorcycle in Lomita, California when he was struck broadside on the right by a commercial truck driven by an employee of Asplundh Construction Co. Mr. Zastawnik suffered severe crush injuries to his lower limbs and was initially hospitalized for 33 days. He has had a total of five surgeries on his feet and ankles as a result of the crash and remains permanently disabled from his job as a truck driver. At trial, Asplundh disputed that the defendants were liable for the collision and challenged Mr. Zastawnik's future medical expenses and the extent of his pain and suffering. Defense counsel asked the jury to award the Zastawniks only $2,500,000 in total damages. The jury disagreed, awarding Mr. Zastawnik and his wife, who had a claim for loss of consortium, almost the entire amount sought at trial. Asplundh offered $4,000,000 to settle the case prior to trial.
Panish Shea & Boyle LLP attorney Spencer Lucas was lead counsel. Co-counsel Charles Koro of Brown, Koro & Romag, LLP also represented the plaintiff at trial.
Following the denial of Defendants' motion for new trial, the case settled in October 2013 for $19,350,000.

I took my Girls Write Now mentee Laura to go see Julius Caesar last Friday at Shakespeare in the Park in Central Park. We had been planning it for a while and postponed to later in the week so we had nicer weather. I'm glad I charged and packed my computer because we really wanted to tape our exit interview we had planned now that she's graduating and going on to college in the fall. I had come up with ten questions for Laura, and she ad-libbed questions for me. I was surprised that it lasted longer than an hour, but we had some meaty questions, like "What do you think is going to happen politically in the next five years?" and "What's going to happen to art in the current political climate?" We were both optimistic about the future and had no idea how portentous our questions and ideas were.
We took turns going to the restroom while the other saved our spot in line, and then right before they started handing out tickets, I went to the snack bar area and got us two hot dogs. The line started moving, and after the first glut of tickets was gone, Laura and I were at the head of the line with just one woman in front of us. A man came by and handed the woman his extra ticket after his friend was a no show, so then Laura and I were at the head of the line. The second round of tickets came by, and the Shakespeare in the Park employee sorted them into singles and pairs and gave us our tickets. We were so surprised to find ourselves in the front row almost center stage—the best tickets in the house. Laura was exuberant, hopping up and down. "I've never been in the front row anywhere!"
The play was tremendous. Whenever I read Julius Caesar while editing our Grade 10 textbooks at Holt, Rinehart and Winston, I enjoyed it, but when I saw it performed at BAM (the first time I'd ever seen it live), I didn't really like it. Might have been the nosebleed seats we had—the absolute last row in the theater. This Julius Caesar, though, was fabulous. When we sat down, I saw people miling about onstage, looking at scaffolding, like what we have in New York when buildings are undergoing construction. Some had programs in their hands, and they were putting Post-it notes on the scaffolding, similar to what happened in Union Square station after Trump was elected and everybody was so upset. There was a wall that became an entire passageway, where everybody started writing Post-it notes about how upset they were about the election and it became a thing.
I thought the people were actual audience members, so I told Laura, "Go on up there, hon, and write something. Put your wish down." Laura said, "No, I don't think I should," and usually she's so bold. Thank God she didn't. They were frigging actors, and later, they played the part of the disgruntled public.
It was a clever staging. It's set in modern times, and Caesar is portrayed as a Trumpian character; Calpurnia as Melania, with an Eastern European accent; and Marc Antony was portrayed as a woman with a "Go USA!" attitude, leggings, and an Aw, shucks! Midwestern accent. I'm guessing she's supposed to correlate to Mike Pence. It worked really well and was riveting for the first three acts, but the play kind of lost momentum in the last two acts. I still loved it. How they handled the crowd scenes was brilliant and unexpected, and Laura and I craned our heads, trying to catch the rabble-rousers who sprang up in the audience. It felt so interactive, like the demonstrations going on now during this presidency. Some people walked out—about four that I could see—and I remember thinking it was because of the controversial staging decisions or maybe because of the chairs. They are pretty uncomfortable. Then I saw the headlines the next day.
We still don't have an answer in this play about what is going to happen to us, much like in J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, but it gives us plenty to think about. We just have to be aware and flexible, roll with the punches, and never give up hope. I think of that old saying, "May you live in interesting times." I do. I most definitely do. And I'm grateful for Shakespeare in the Park.

Is Linux Open Source
Is Linux Open Source – When people read about Linux and open source software, they usually have a misunderstanding, that it is associated with educational and experimental technology that cannot be used as a daily driver, and it is limited to a few percent of the share of PC market, mostly technology enthusiasts. .for scientists and scholars. research. In fact, probably everyone uses Linux without knowing it.
From the moment you wake up in the morning and your automation app like IFTTT starts your coffee maker, you go online to order a coffee, a bus or train ticket to work, or you turn on the music from one of the popular streaming services. through the likes of Spotify. Do you use Linux?

Linux Kernel: Facebook Open Sources New Components
Ubuntu: The Leading Linux Based Operating System
People say that Android is based on Linux and uses the Linux Kernel and is built with open source, but they have the iPhone. True, but in hindsight, your home router is probably running an OEM-modified Linux-based operating system. Your Internet Service Provider, which sends your request over the Internet, may also be using Linux or open source software. This may also be true of the website you visit, the servers that process your request, or the developer that created the mobile web application.
Linux is the kernel that helps run an operating system that uses open source software. We have many billion dollar companies that have proven the success and need of Linux and Open Source Software. There are many community and company-supported Linux-based distributions/operating systems available for free, such as the Arch Linux community, Canonical's Ubuntu, Red Hat Inc's Fedora, SUSE's OpenSuse.
If you are not tech savvy and need support for your business, you can also pay for on-demand support or you can subscribe to support services such as Red Hat, Suse or Canonical with their Enterprise models .
As for software, there are many alternatives to licensed software for office work, graphics work, science work, engineering, and software engineering or programming. OpenWRT is a Linux-based operating system that runs on routers, can be installed on an exitist router, or you can get an OpenWRT router.
One of the biggest home security vulnerabilities is the router, you get a stock router from your IPS with software that is several years old unlike OpenWRT which is updated regularly. In addition, there are advanced IPS firewall solutions, such as IPFire. You can configure home sensors using ARM processor devices such as Raspberry Pi, which is supported by many Linux distributions. Today, there are even phones and tablets that support Linux and open source like Pine Phone by Pine64, even fitness devices like PineTime by Pine64.
Linux and open source software can also be used for external activities such as music, movies, games (almost all popular TV and movie streaming services run on Linux). There are even music services like Spotify and free online games available on Linux, such as OpenRA based on Red Alert.
With the Steam app (proton DB) you can even run the latest Star Wars game for EA. A very popular alternative to the Xbox / ps4 would be a steam deck console running on Linux. In short, Linux can run anything and it's anywhere.
I have Arch Linux with a KDE desktop setup with steam installed, I have an EA pro subscription to play Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Star Wars Squadrons. Using a steam game with proton DB, just click and click (including Epic, GOG and Battle net games), Steam takes care of the rest. The new SteamOS V3 on Steam Deck has the same build, arch Linux with KDE and steam.
There are many benefits for users such as source transparency, flexibility, mobility, enhanced security, empowering digital transformation, community power and lack of vendor lock-in. Linux and open source software are used "in the background" without even knowing it.
The biggest improvement in Linux is the freedom to choose what you want to do with your computer. Choose the hardware you want to use, the Linux distribution you want (the Linux operating system comes in different versions and "flavors"), choose the desktop environment you want (Mate, XFCE, KDE, GNOMe) and the open source software of your choice. are you to use it, if you encounter any problems, visit the helpful community-driven forums for advice.
The open source mindset is there and it is our "secret weapon" and therefore a dream workplace for any open source and Linux techie. This article is about the operating system family. For the kernel, see Linux kernel. For other uses, see Linux (other uses).

Linux (/ˈliːnʊks/ (list) LEE -nuuks or /ˈlɪnʊks/ LIN -uuks)
Linux is usually packaged as a Linux distribution that includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries, most of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name "GNU/Linux" to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Includes Debian, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu, the latter itself containing many different distributions and modifications, including Lubuntu and Xubuntu. Commercial distributions include Red Hat terprise Linux and SUSE Linux terprise. Desktop Linux distributions include a windowing system such as X11 or Wayland and a desktop vironmt such as GNOME or KDE Plasma. Distributions intended for servers may omit graphics altogether or include a package solution such as LAMP. Since Linux is freely redistributable, anyone can create a distribution for any purpose.
Linux was originally developed for personal computers based on the Intel x86 architecture, but has since been ported to more platforms than any other operating system.
Due to the dominance of Linux-based Android in smartphones, Linux, including Android, has the largest installed base of all supernatural operating systems as of May 2022.
Chromebooks, which run the Linux kernel-based ChromeOS, dominate the US K-12 education market and account for nearly 20 percent of US notebook sales under $300.
Linux is the main server operating system (more than 96.4% of the top 1 million web server operating systems are Linux);
Runs other large hardware systems such as mainframes and is used by all 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers
Linux also runs on embedded systems, that is, devices whose operating system is usually built in firmware and is highly customized to the system. These include routers, automation controls, smart home devices, video game consoles,
Linux is one of the most famous examples of collaboration between free and operating software. The source code can be used, modified, and distributed commercially or non-commercially by anyone under the terms of respective licenses, such as the GNU General Public Licse (GPL). The Linux kernel, for example, is licensed under the GPLv2.
The Unix operating system was created and introduced in 1969 at AT&T's Bell Labs in the United States by C. Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Douglas McIlroy, and Joe Osanna.
First released in 1971, Unix was boringly written in assembly language, as was the accepted practice of the time. In 1973, in a key pioneering way, it was rewritten in the C programming language by Dennis Ritchie (except for some hardware and I/O routines). The availability of a high-level implementation of the Unix language makes it easy to port to different computer platforms.
Because of an earlier antitrust case barring it from interfering with the computer business, AT&T licensed the operating system's source code as a trade secret to anyone who asked. As a result, Unix grew rapidly and was widely adopted by academic and business institutions. In 1984, AT&T divested itself of companies operating in the region and unleashed an unwavering commitment to the computer business; freed from that obligation, Bell Labs began selling Unix as a proprietary product where users were not legally allowed to modify it.
Onyx Systems began selling early microcomputer-based Unix workstations in the 1980s. Later, Sun Microsystems, founded as a spin-off of a student project at Stanford University, also began selling Unix-based desktops in 1982. While Sun workstations were not available. Later, Linux-like commodity computer hardware was developed, representing the first successful commercial attempt to distribute the primarily single-user microcomputer running the Unix operating system.
As Unix became more and more "locked" as a proprietary product, the GNU Project, started in 1983 by Richard Stallman, aimed to create a "Complete Unix-compatible software system" composed of tedious free software. Works began in 1984.
Later in 1985, Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation and wrote the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) in 1989. command-line shell and windowing system) was completed, although low-level items such as drivers for device, daemons, and a kernel called the GNU Hurd are halted and incomplete.
MINIX was developed by Andrew S. Tanbaum, a professor of computer science, and released in 1987 as a small Unix-like operating system aimed at students and others.

The investigation takes them to a small town in Texas, where they find a hallway full of empty companies with no employees.
Laura and Alex continue their story about Intellectual Ventures and the practice of patent trolling. They learn why the buying and selling of patents is likely to continue being a huge, controversial business that affects the entire tech industry.
410: Social Contract
Act Two: If You Were Stranded on a Desert Island and Could Only Bring One Economic Plan...
Why is it that Barbados and Jamaica faced almost identical financial crises, but now Jamaica is incredibly poor and Barbados is prospering?

Influencer marketing continues to go from strength to strength, however as with any exciting embryonic industry there are challenges and hurdles to overcome. We are here to help bring stakeholders together and tackle them head-on.
With 28 categories programmed, a newly formed judging panel consisting of experienced influencer marketing practitioners from around the globe will discuss and debate each category and depending on merit will award a Bronze, Silver or Gold award.
Whilst the majority of categories are judged by a panel, we've programmed an 'Industry Choice of Technology or SaaS' and 'Rising Star' award which are in part decided upon by peers.
The night itself will be held at a stunning hotel on London's Park Lane where alongside celebrating the successes of the past 12 months, the awards will provide an opportunity for senior representatives from the industry's leading agencies, brands, influencers and technologies to come together and forge relationships during an evening of champagne and fine dining; to a backdrop of glitz and glamour.
The IMAs are programmed by the Influencer Marketing Show, a subsidiary of PerformanceIN. We've been organising award ceremonies for 1000+ for over a decade for the performance marketing sector. We certainly know how to celebrate excellence and throw a great party. More importantly we understand how to reward brilliant companies and the campaigns they execute, providing the recognition they deserve.

O people! Fear Allaah and make use of what He has made lawful for you and beware of what He has prohibited. He left nothing which is good without making it lawful out of His grace, and nothing which is evil except that he prohibited it out of His mercy. So, just as He conferred upon you the bounty of making the good lawful, He also conferred upon you the bounty of making the evil prohibited. People should therefore offer praise to Him for both cases by willingly taking the lawful things and shunning the prohibited saying: 'we hear and obey.'
O people! Nowadays smoking has spread to every section of our society, even to young boys in the markets and in their homes. No one can deny the harmful effects that it has on one's body, financial condition, society and religion. As to its effects on the body, it weakens the body and heart and leads to diseases that might even lead to death such as cancer, cough and tuberculosis. This fact is confirmed by specialised scientists and reports issued by the World Health Organisation and also by the status quo. How many are the people who have weakened their bodies and health, and may kill themselves due to this habit of smoking? Do not be deceived by smokers who might appear to be of strong stature; unlike their outward appearance, they are not healthy in light of their lack appetite, the condition of their lungs, coughs, tuberculosis and feebleness which might be felt upon very little exertion. If they give up smoking then they will regain some of their health which they have lost as a result of smoking.
As for the effect on their financial condition, just ask any of them about the money that they expend daily on smoking, which, if spent on what is beneficial for a person and his family such as good food, drink, clothes, etc., would be of much benefit for ones religion and worldly life. Rather, a smoker uses up most of his money on this vain pursuit which only adds to his immediate and deferred injuries. We seek Allaah's guidance for us and for them.
As for the traders who earn money from buying and selling such items and become wealthy after being poor and rich after being needy, then these are all ill-gotten gains and sinfulness. Such people are rich financial terms but very poor in their hearts; wealthy in this world but have nothing in the Hereafter, due to these ill-gotten gains which they made in this worldly life. They do not know when death will come to them forcing them to leave their wealth to their heirs while their hearts still long for it. Indeed poverty is better than wealth gained by disobeying Allaah.
As to the effects of smoking on the community, it diffuses social diseases that spread corruption amongst society, but most smokers do not care about the spread of this phenomenon among people; in fact they may actually enjoy seeing it spread among people to entertain and ease their own disastrous lifestyle. Therefore, they intentionally smoke in public before the youth, who become accustomed to this bad habit and regard it as a normal practice of the community. This leads to the inevitable outcome of the youth indulging in this fad to the extent that they rapidly become addicted to it. How many are the diseases that afflict those who use the remnants of cigarettes which are thrown in streets and public places!
As for its consequences on one's religion, most scholars, who are pure of all maladies and are well versed in the rulings of Islaamic Law, know for certain it's prohibition from the Islaamic texts and principles of Islaamic jurisprudence. Smoking is disobedience of Allaah and His Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam and disobedience opposes faith, which decreases by committing sins just as it increases by doing good.
O Muslims! Those upon whom Allaah has conferred His bounty of being protected against this habit should praise Him for this bounty and ask Him for steadfastness and to protect his brothers who are plagued with this addiction so that they may give it up. They should also ask Allaah repeatedly to guard them and approach all possible means that might help others to shun it such as having a strong will, avoiding the places where this vice is practiced and replacing it with that which Allaah has made lawful of food and drink, for Allaah has made lawful any gate that might lead to good. They should also think of the affairs of those whom Allaah has released from the fetters of this habit and to what extent they regained their health and recovered from the diseases that afflicted them because of this addiction – surely all praise is due to Allaah.
Allaah says that which means: "O you who have believed! Eat from the good [i.e., lawful] things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allaah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship." (Al-Baqarah: 172).

If you're testing the Windows 10 Technical Preview, Microsoft has a friendly word of advice for you: Fasten your seat belt. And if you're worried about the risk of crashing, consider downgrading to the Slow ring.
It's taking considerably longer than some members of the Windows Insider program expected, but Microsoft appears to be on the verge of releasing an updated Windows 10 preview build. And this time, the company says, it's serious about picking up the pace.
No new build today, but we will be posting an announcement in Insider Hub. suggesting people who want lower risk to move to Slow.
We've heard your feedback asking for more frequent builds--and as Gabe mentioned in his recent blog post, we've probably been too conservative about pushing builds to the Fast ring for Windows Insiders. So we're preparing to speed up the build releases for those who want to live life in the Fast lane. The good news is that Insiders who choose Fast will be getting fresher code, with all of the features and fixes, more often. The potential downside is that as we go faster, the builds will likely include more bugs with fewer workarounds. If this doesn't sound like something you want to deal with, now is your time to switch to Slow.
I have a build in hand that we produced on Friday. It was validated by our test automation, and will go out through our internal rings and get installed and used by thousands of people at Microsoft. It is the freshest code with all newest features and fixes. If it passes all of our evaluation criteria it could be in your hands late this week or early next week.
The new update will be delivered automatically, via Windows Update, on PCs running the Windows 10 preview and configured for the "Fast" ring.
If the new build appears in update channels tomorrow (Friday, March 13), it will arrive exactly seven weeks after build 9926, which was released January 23 following a holiday break of more than two months.
That is a much more conservative release pace than most Microsoft watchers expected. In a post announcing that January release, Aul called that gap "the longest you should expect to see with the program... We'll get new builds out faster moving forward."
The marquee feature in the next Windows 10 build is the long-anticipated Spartan browser, which was demoed briefly at January's big unveiling but has yet to make its first appearance in a publicly released preview build. Spartan uses a heavily forked version of Microsoft's Trident rendering engine, known as EdgeHTML. It's intended to be the new default browser for Windows 10, with Internet Explorer relegated to legacy duty.
This update should also show off some changes to the Start menu and Cortana. The Start menu, which was completely rewritten in XAML for the last preview release, is due to add transparency and more personalization options. Cortana will be integrated into the Spartan browser, but details of other changes are scant at this point.
How is Windows 10 really doing so far?
There's no word on whether the next build will incorporate the new Mail/Calendar/People app, (which Microsoft demonstrated back in January), as well as promised changes to the Music app. The biggest change in Music is the addition of digital locker capabilities to allow access to personal music libraries via OneDrive.
The new update will be delivered automatically, via Windows Update, on PCs running the Windows 10 preview and configured for the "Fast" ring. The update will be delayed on PCs set to use the "Slow" ring.
For details on how you can evaluate the Windows 10 Preview (and why you might or might not want to), see my FAQ: Windows 10: You've got questions, I've got answers.
According to Aul, Microsoft "could feasibly get multiple builds out in March rather than just one." But that faster pace comes with bigger risks: "The reality is that faster builds to you will include more bugs, and so far we've erred on the side of stability."
For anyone who decides to stay in the Fast ring, the message is clear: Get ready for a bumpier ride.


With the rapid climb of 'no time' we find ourselves committing to things that are not as beneficial spiritually. We read our obligatory prayers yes, but it important to establish that it doesn't stop there.
The many benefits of reading Quraan are not strictly restricted to the hereafter. Research conducted by the University of Salford, United Kingdom where 15 male and 15 female psychology students were part of a study. Some were to read the Quraan, whilst others were made to read a non-religious book.
Surprisingly enough, researchers found that blood pressure, heart rate and perceived stress levels of students dropped after reciting holy Quran. On the contrary, no significant change was noticed in students after they read the other book.
The (many) Benefits of reading Quraan.
One of the pressing concerns of aging is the deterioration of memory, or rather simply, memory loss. Pronunciation of the Quraan stimulates an area of the brain located in the temporal lobe. The temporal lobe is also where the hippocampus is located, which is the memory consolidation centre. Muhamed Ghilan, a microbiologist currently pursuing a PHD in neuroscience in the University of Victoria in his research discovered the more activation this area receives, and the more involved this activation is such as the case with the Quran, the better and more efficient it becomes in its functions for learning and memory.
2. IT ENHANCES YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS.
I would have never considered the Quraan to be influential in the social aspect of our lives but according to Ghilan's research other brain regions the activity of Quran recitation strongly activate are the frontal lobes and the primary motor cortex.This trains the area of the brain responsible for inhibition, which is important for social interaction. Children withADHD have been shown to have this area to be under-developed.
The majority of us only read the Quraan in its language of decent, Arabic. Whilst there is surmountable reward for this, not all of us are fluent in the language. Though we may recite the Quraan with genuine love on a daily basis, we aren't able to understand the significance and relevancy of its verses. The secret behind the exponential rise in scientific advancement and contribution to human knowledge was the Quraan. The Quran is rich in its content for history, parables, and logical arguments, so making the time to study the interpretation of the Quraan and its meaning will be much more beneficial than you would have otherwise thought.
4. IT'S THE ULTIMATE ANTI-DEPRESSANT.
The older generation question the reliability of the modern day Psychologists, alluding them to be a 'MONEY MAKING SCHEME', redirecting people to the Quraan as the ultimate 'anti-depressant.'Whilst modernists may laugh at the absurdity of it there is research that has proven its credibility. Even former British Premier, Tony Blair, said that the Quran was a 'reforming book, it is inclusive. It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition. It is practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to marriage, women and governance'.
5. IT IS A SANCTUARY OF PEACE.
Not a single day goes by where I don't hear someone complain about how 'busy' their day is whilst simultaneously scrambling about in a scurry.Whilst the Quraan states:Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." (Qur'an, 13:28)we often act contradictory to this, searching for peace in material sources.
Suhaibwebb.com elaborates on this further in saying that most of the things that cause real disturbances in our hearts and our lives are tied to what we allow into our hearts. When we allow ourselves to envy and to hate, we are naturally far from being in a state of peace, because our hearts are far from the source of peace – Al Quraan.


First flue-related death in Allegheny County reported.
PITTSBURGH – The first flu-related death has been reported in Allegheny County. Director of the Allegheny County Health Department Dr. Karen Hacker reported the information of the death.
According to a press release, the deceased was a 90-year-old female resident who had underlying medical conditions.
At this time last year, flu reports showed 3,533 cases with 316 hospitalizations and eight deaths. Now, the most recent reports in 2019 show 414 cases and 18 hospitalizations have been reported in Allegheny County.
If residents have already not done so, officials encourage them get their flu shot. Other preventatives practices include washing your hands and coughing or sneezing into a shoulder or elbow to not infect others. The Allegheny County Health Department Immunization Clinic offers vaccinations to walk-ins.
Some symptoms that are commonly associated with the flu include fever, sore throat, cough, fatigue and muscles aches. Individuals experiencing these symptoms are urged to contact their health care provider to determine if antiviral medication should be prescribed.


If students are going to achieve a deeper, more complex understanding of their reading, we first need to equip them with the tools to get there. This can occur through a 3-step progression. First, we show kids how to document their thinking by making notes as they read. Then we give them opportunities to extend their initial thoughts through powerful, text-based conversations. With this new thinking, students are finally prepared to formulate intelligent arguments that are supported and anchored in the text.
Explain that readers often track their thoughts on paper. This includes annotating the text using margin notes, sticky notes, graphic organizers, etc.
Sliding the text or graphic organizer under a document camera to show the notes you're making in the margins.
Modeling how to create digital notes within a PDF digital text.
Adhering extra large sticky notes to a big book you are reading to your primary students.
Photocopying the passage onto a transparency and logging your thoughts using a write-on/wipe-off marker.
Regardless of the technology, you need to make your thoughts visible to your students. After seeing the variety and quantity of your thoughts, students are ready to practice.
The notes are simply the initial "tracks" of the reader's thoughts--they aren't the end goal. If the notes are "tracks," then the students must act as detectives to "track" down bigger meanings. This can't happen if students aren't expected to eventually reread their own notes. By doing so, a reader relives his original thinking and is better prepared to participate in a class conversation about the text.
Intentionally guide the conversation away from summarizing the author's ideas to discovering bigger and deeper meanings. Here are some sample questions for both literature and informational text.
Often, this new thinking includes students drawing conclusions about ideas in the text. This is the nature of argument. Students will make a claim about the text's ideas or characters that requires proof from the reading.
Quote phrases and passages from a text.
Utilize quotation marks for phrases and sentences copied word-for-word from the text.
Include page numbers and paragraph numbers to indicate where the proof was found.
Walking students through this 3-step process takes time. But these rigorous discussions and deeper thinking lay the foundation for students to meet the expectations of college and career ready.

On June 7, 1831, English novelist, journalist, traveller and Egyptologist Amelia B. Edwards was born. Her account of her travels in Egypt, A Thousand Miles Up the Nile (1877), was an immediate success. During the last two decades of her life, she became concerned by threats to Egyptian monuments and antiquities, raised funds for archaeological excavations and increased public awareness by lecturing at home and abroad.
Amelia Edwards was born in London. She was educated by her mother and it has been delivered that she showed talents in writing already at young age. Edwards published her first poem at age seven, and her first story at age 12. She continued to publish a variety of poetry, stories and articles in various magazines including the Chamber's Journal, Household Words, and All the Year Round. Amelia Edwards also wrote for the Saturday Review and the Morning Post. She was appointed organist of St. Michael's, Wood Green, Middlesex in 1850, at the age of 19. After several months of typhoid disease in 1849, she suffered from persistent throat complaints that also affected her voice. This and her engagement in 1851, which she entered into, although she had actually sought a relationship with another man, led to the first major change in her previous life in 1852: she resigned her position as organist and dissolved her engagement. In the next two years she gave music lessons during the day and translated Italian poetry in the evening.
As a novelist, Edwards' first full length novel was published in 1855 and titled My Brother's Wife. The book established her reputation as a novelist. Edwards spent considerable time and effort on her books' settings and backgrounds, estimating that it took her about two years to complete the researching and writing of each. This painstaking work paid off when her last novel, Lord Brackenbury, emerged as a runaway success that went to 15 editions. The author wrote several ghost stories, including the often anthologised The Phantom Coach published in 1864. Amelia Edwards lived in her parents' home until the death of her parents, who died only seven days apart in 1860.
Her own earnings as a writer enabled her to travel from about 1853. She toured Europe – first Paris, Belgium, then the Rhine, France, Germany and Italy. During her stay in Rome in 1857 she met the sculptor Harriet Hosmer (1830-1908), the actress Charlotte Cushman (1816-1876) and her temporary partner, the writer Matilda Hays (1820-1897). She was supposed to have a lifelong friendship with Cushman. Edwards stayed in Paris for a long time and visited the Bohemian cafés where artists and writers met. On her travels she was initially accompanied by relatives, later by her friend Lucy Renshaw (1833-1913), whom she had met on one of these travels. Later Lucy Renshaw appears as a fictional character "L." in her books.
Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys described Edwards' and Renshaw's journey through the then little-known Dolomites. The aim of this book was to present the history, botany and geology/geography of the Dolomites as well as the art, culture, customs and traditions of the inhabitants. For this reason Edwards also deviated from the usual procedure at that time of hiring travel companions from her own country of origin and hired exclusively locals for her group. Through her many years of literary experience and the mixture of (popular) scientific parts with narrative sections (for example, she described her first ascent of Sasso Bianco and Titian's birthplace), her book appealed to a broad bourgeois audience and quickly became a success. However, she was still denied recognition from scientific circles.
Edwards co-founded the Egypt Exploration Fund – now the Egypt Exploration Society – with Reginald Stuart Poole, the curator of the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum. She served as joint Honorary Secretary of the Fund and served until her death. In order to be able to devote most of her time to Egyptology, Edwards mostly abandoned her literary work. She managed to contribute to the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, to the American supplement of that work, and to the Standard Dictionary. During 1889 and 1890, Amelia Edwards embarked on an ambitious lecture tour of the United States. Her lectures were later published as Pharaohs, Fellahs, and Explorers.
Amelia Edwards died in Weston-super-Mare on 15 April 1892, shortly after being awarded an annual pension of £75 under the Civil List Act of 1837 for her services to science. From her estate a chair of Egyptology was donated to the University of London, whose first holder became Flinders Petrie according to Edwards' last will.


Well, here's my official entry saying if anyone needs anything, I'm here to help if you want me to. Dave, if there's anything at the hospital computer-wise that'll make things easier for you...or even just moving equipment around so that you don't have to wander through a whole hospital just in case, I can do that. I want to try writing a program for the comptuers that'll be a kind of panic button. I'm not entirely sure I can do it, but I figure it's worth a shot. Maybe something that if hit, will flash everyone's screens, or start up a sound. It's only a vague idea right now.
Everett, Janie, if you want my help with anything you two are doing, just say. Anyone else, I'm here too.
Thanks, that's kind of you. I've been moving equipment from around the hospital to the ER department to set that up for whatever we need. There's no point using the rest of the space. I can always do with help shifting things though.
And, on that point, is there anyone else in town with any medical experience?

Q: SQL: What is better a Bit or a char(1) Is there any performance difference on retrieving a bit or a char(1) ?
Just for curiosity =]
UPDATE: Suposing i'm using SQL Server 2008!

A: a bit and a char(1) will both take a 1 byte to store,assuming you only have 1 bit column in the table, SQL Server will store up tp 8 bit columns in 1 byte. I don't think there is a difference in performance.
One thing to be aware of is that you can't do sum on a bit column
CREATE TABLE #test( a BIT)

INSERT #test VALUES (1)
INSERT #test VALUES (1)

SELECT sum(a) FROM #test

Msg 8117, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Operand data type bit is invalid for sum operator.
you have to convert it first
SELECT sum(CONVERT(INT,a)) FROM #test

A: It's implementation dependent. One DBMS might have the same performance, while another might have differences.

A: For SQL Server: up to 8 columns of type BIT can be stored inside a single byte, while each column of type CHAR(1) will take up one byte.
On the other hand: a BIT column can have two values (0 = false, 1 = true) or no value at all (NULL) - while a CHAR(1) can have any character value (much more possibilities)
So really, it comes down to:

*

*do you really need a true/false (yes/no) field? If so: use BIT

*do you need something with more than just two possible values - use CHAR(1)
I don't think it makes any significant difference, from a performance point of view - unless you have tens of thousands of columns. Then of course, using BIT which can store up to 8 columns in a single byte would be beneficial. But again: for your "normal" database case, where you have a few, a dozen of those columns, it really doesn't make a big difference. Pick the column type that suits your needs - don't over-worry about performance.....

A: As Adam says, it depends on the database implementing the data types properly, but in theory the following holds:
Bit:
Will store 1 or 0 or null. Only takes a Bit to store the value (by definition!). Usually used for true or false, and many programming languages will interpret a bit as a true or false field automatically.
Char[1]:
A char takes 8 bits, or one byte, so its 8 times larger when stored. You can store (pretty much) any character in there. Will probably be interpreted as a string by programming languages. I think Char[1] will always take the full byte, even when empty, unless you use varchar or nvarchar.

A: use a bit. ALWAYS use the smallest possible datatype. it is critical once you start getting large tables.

Taylor answered the phone the evening my car broke down, and was immensely helpful getting a tow truck to come get my car and helping me understand how to navigate the next steps. Super friendly and courteous. I think Cory was the name of the technician that called me about my car after running the diagnostics. Also exceptionally thorough as the problems with my car weren't related to the transmission, but they figured out what it was and pointed me in the direction to have it repaired. The technician listened to me describe the issue and patiently walked through different scenarios. Not that I want to have a reason to be there again, but if I have any transmission issues again, I will most definitely be a repeat customer. Really exceptional customer service.
Jody did a great job and i would recommend him to everyone. five stars.
Great service. My Wife and I had a transmission issue. The service we received was great. They took the time to show us the problem. Very professional and very fair prices. If you don't go here first for your auto needs, then great service is not important to you.
My granddaughter went to Cottman's on 5/24/2017 because her car failed to pass inspection. She had been given three codes that were obtained when the mechanic who did that inspection ran a diagnostic scan on her car. She was told that, at least, one of the codes pointed to trouble with the transmission in her car. The General Manager at Cottman's, Jody Preston, was friendly and helpful. He took time to drive her car, check her fluid levels, rescan the car and give it a thorough inspection. All of this was done free of charge. After Jody did his inspection, he gave her advice so that she would know how to proceed and be able to get resolutions to the problem codes that were found. We appreciated his helpful, friendly attitude and the recommendations that he made. The advice that he gave her helped to allay her fears and gave her a plan of action. We will certainly use Cottman's in the future and will recommend it to our friends and family.
The were thorough with their work and went above and beyond. Thanks so much Cottman!!!!
Was told my car needed a torque converter and they recommended Cottmans. I took it to Cottmans expecting a 2,000 bill. They were very thorough and honest and ended up fixing the car for 200 dollars. Highly recommend the place!
I just wanted to let you know that I had a really great experience at your Durham, Roxboro Rd. location. Jeff was very knowledgeable and friendly. I dropped my car off on Friday and he indicated that it maybe Monday before they had any word on what needed to be done. When I call first thing Monday morning he indicated that they still hadn't had a chance to get to my car but promised to call me in the afternoon. He kept his word. The estimated cost and day that my vehicle would be ready was accurate. Even though it cost me a small fortune it was still a pleasant experience.
I had my transmission completely rebuilt at cottonman transmission they did a wonderful job. My vehicle hasn't driven better. The simplicity and ease of billing was as I expected. The staff was completely knowledgeable and payed close attention to all my concerns. I recently stopped by several months after they repaired my vehicle. Although my car was out of warranty the wonderful friendly staff serviced my car at no additional cost. Thank you CottmanTransmission I would definitely recommend them to any friend or family member they have shown me, that they care about their customers.
