The Beachcombers
1972 | Canada
The Beachcombers was an immensely popular family adventure series which aired on CBC from 1972 to 1990. The series holds the distinction of being the longest-running drama on Canadian television. Developed by Marc and Susan Strange, along with its first Executive Producer, Philip Keatley, and a group of talented West Coast writers, The Beachcombers was set in and around the port of Gibsons Landing, on British Columbia's beautiful Sunshine Coast. The storyline was based on a simple premise; that for $5 anyone could get a licence to beachcomb logs and sell them for half their market value to a logging consortium. The first episode, 'Partners' introduced us to all the main characters, most memorably the burly Greek logger Nick Adonidas (Bruno Gerussi) owner of the Persephone, and his Aboriginal partner Jesse Jim (Pat Johns) who had originally been hitchhiking down the Canadian coast with the intention of going all the way to South America, when he met Adonidas, befriended him and formed a partnership that would see them both through 19 TV seasons.
Nick, as the central character, needed a foil, and he had one in the shape of the irascible, curmudgeonly, unscrupulous rival scavenger, Relic (Robert Clothier) who would go to great lengths to steal business away from Nick. The series also focused on a supporting cast of characters often centring around a cafe, Molly's Reach, run by Molly (Rae Brown), a mother figure to virtually all the characters in the series. Molly had two grandchildren living with her, Hughie (Bob Park) and his younger sister Margaret (Nancy Chapple). The format of the show was a good mixture of character, physical action, comedy and location filming that sometimes gave the series the feel of a documentary or travelogue and scenes of fishing, logging and beachcombing gave it an international appeal enabling CBC to syndicate it around the world. It was particularly popular in Britain in spite of being sold (by ITV) to UK audiences as a children's series (it was initially broadcast on Saturday mornings and later on weekday mornings and some afternoons) and also found fanbases in America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland and East Germany (The German version of the series was titled Strandpiraten).
The show also used Canada's multi-cultural diversity to good effect providing opportunities to explore different cultures - Greek, Aboriginal, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, East Indian, Swedish and British characters all featured. During the run of the series, storylines became more complex as the characters developed (Relic, a ruthless character, was later shown to have been brought up by his loveless Welsh coalmining family and despised by his father) and writers and producers occasionally used down-beat endings, shaking up the standard practice in this type of TV drama. The series' title was shortened to Beachcombers for its final season which ended with one hour-special. After 19 years and 387 episodes, Beachcombers was cancelled, and replaced by the American sitcom Sydney. Not a bad run for a series that CBC thought would last 3 years at most.
A TV Movie was produced in 2002; The New Beachcombers was an unsuccessful attempt to revive the series - only two of the original cast appeared, Bruno Gerussi had passed away in 1995, Robert Clothier in 1999 and Rae Brown passed away in 2000 in her late 80s. Even 8 years after the series was cancelled the show maintained its unique place in the Canadian television landscape; a 1998 TV Guide website audience survey placed The Beachcombers as the most popular CBC TV Show of All Time.

Goodbye, Laguna Hills Mall; hello, urban village
By Kathleen Luppi
Aug. 12, 2016 1:57 PM PT
For decades, the Laguna Hills Mall served as a south Orange County regional shopping and entertainment destination, with its four department stores, food court and movie theater.
But over its 40 years, empty storefronts came to outnumber tenants. Dark stores now house abandoned display cases, and a corridor of the mall is blocked off with floor-to-ceiling plywood.
Soon this mall, one of the oldest in Orange County, will be no more. Already the wreckers, perhaps symbolically, have removed large outdoor signs. By spring of 2018, a new development will have risen in its place — not quite a mall but more of a community, with restaurants and shops but also apartments and an acre park where live music and events will be held.
Ground was broken in a ceremony on Aug. 5.
On Tuesday, the mall remained open — it will be torn down in phases, though some sections will remain — but it was eerily quiet. Missing were the sounds of footsteps and chatter among shoppers. A few customers popped in and out of Bath & Body Works, Dollar Book Fair and the Paul's Products wig shop, while others lounged in vending massage chairs or purchased sandwiches from a Subway shop.
If that scene represented the mall's past, at the The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Stephen Logan, director of development with private real estate investment company Merlone Geier Partners, was preparing for the site's future.
"We're sitting right here," Logan said as he pointed to a spot on architectural plans spread out on a table. "This will be a park with a fountain, big screen and lawn."
San Diego-based Merlone Geier Partners will be converting the 68-acre property into an indoor-outdoor shopping center and housing development called Five Lagunas, a title chosen to reflect its nearness to Laguna Canyon as well as the cities of Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach and Laguna Woods.
The public may continue shopping at the mall during its redevelopment, but the Sears wing is partitioned off and will be demolished for luxury apartments. Plans call for the western facade of the mall to be turned "inside out," having the retail stores opening to the ocean-side parking area and offering direct access to most of them.
Logan said this will give the feel of a Main Street in a central business district.
Hopes are high for the new urban village, where consumers can shop, dine and play and residents can live in a master-planned community.
The plans call for about 60 retailers, including a mix of local, national and fashion brands, as well as the mall's current department stores, J.C. Penney, Macy's and Nordstrom Rack. (It's hard to know what the Macy's announcement Thursday that the company will be closing 100 stores nationwide might mean locally.)
Orange County's first 14-screen luxury ICON movie theater will be installed, more restaurants will be built and an acre park where live music and events will be held will also include a big screen so visitors can gather and watch everything from a film on special movie night to a variety of nationally and internationally televised sports competitions.
A six-story parking garage will be added and a farmers market will continue at the site.
Because the demographics of the area range from young professionals and families to the retirees of Laguna Woods village, the development firm conceptualized a mixed-use center that would appeal to all ages, said Logan.
That means a fitness center in a walkable area with service shops and dining and entertainment options. Even movie nights will be targeted to different age groups.
"It's a great piece of real estate in Orange County with a lot of potential," Logan said. "Our goal is to drive people to this property and make it a destination for a cool atmosphere."
The design comes at a time when consumer trends in retail and housing have shifted to promenade-style shopping, where families, perhaps living on the same site, can spend the day enjoying a mix of retail and entertainment, or professionals can schedule a business lunch, Logan said.
One example is the Pacific City in Huntington Beach. The Residences, a collection of apartments scheduled to open in 2017 as part of the development, is set among boutiques, restaurants and amenities.
This tends to make the indoor Laguna Hills Mall, built in 1973, feel outdated.
Laguna Hills City Manager Bruce Channing said the renovation will be a significant improvement to the community, describing it as a lifestyle center targeted to appeal to all age groups.
No one spoke against the plans at a recent public hearing, he said.
"I think the community has recognized that the mall needed to change with the times and they are supportive of it," Channing said. "We're very excited about it and we think it will be a terrific space for people."
In the 1990s, under the ownership of the O'Connor Group of New York, the mall added movie theaters, a food court and a second level of specialty stores. The idea was to give South County its first so-called super-mall.
The renovation and expansion were also aimed at getting a leg up on the rival Mission Viejo Mall and the Irvine Co., which was planning a new mall in the Irvine Spectrum development.
Shopping center giant Simon Property Group, owner of the Mission Viejo Mall, acquired the Laguna Hills Mall in 1997.
Over the years, the shopping center that catered to the nearby cities of Mission Viejo, Foothill Ranch and Aliso Viejo limped along but remained open.
In 2013, Merlone Geier Partners bought the mall from Simon Property Group for undisclosed terms. The following years, the new owner worked with the city of Laguna Hills and nearby residents and businesses as it discussed creating a different kind of retail property that could satisfy different community needs.
Tenants say they think the redesign will benefit customers and they are looking forward to the update, even though many don't know whether they will be allowed to stay.
At one kiosk, One Time Watch and Jewelry Repair employee Omar Hassanein handled a customer's watch battery. The family-owned business operated out of the mall's Sears department store for 15 years. Sears closed in 2014.
"We think it's for the better," Hassanein said of the renovation.
Dana Point resident John O'Dwyer was visiting Tuesday afternoon with his two children.
He wanted to take his daughter and son to see inflatable dinosaurs in the mall's upstairs food court but was disappointed to learn that the section was closed off.
"This is kind of a dying mall," O'Dwyer said. "But I'll definitely check back to see it when it's finished."

Dua Lipa's friends help her keep from going back to an ex in the new "New Rules" video.
The clip is directed by Henry Schofield, who previously worked with Lip on her "Lost in Your Light" music video. Lipa and friends spend the video throughout Miami's Confidante Hotel, going from rooms to hallways to pools and back.
"You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning," she sings. "And if you're under him, you ain't getting over him."
"New Rules" is the seventh single from Lipa's self-titled debut LP, released in June of this year. The singer described the song in a statement by saying it is "the breakup song I wish I had when I was breaking up with someone."

Selecao Brasil
Brazil, Braaaazzziiilll!
PSG sporting director suggests Neymar is free to leave the club
On August 16, 2019 By index In Uncategorized
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has said that Neymar is free to part ways with the French champions, should the right offer come by during the summer transfer window. The Brazil international has been linked with a return to Barcelona in recent weeks and the speculation has further intensified from the fact that the attacker has not reported for the opening day of pre-season training.
Speaking to reporters, Leonardo said that the club won't restrict players from leaving, should they lack the ambition of representing the team. He added that Neymar is free to head through the exit door but the club have not received any offers for the Brazilian to date, he said: "Neymar can leave PSG, if there is an offer that suits everyone. But to date, we do not know if anyone wants to buy him or at what price.
"All this is not done in a day, that's for sure. But one thing is concrete today: he still has three years of contract with us and since we have not received an offer, we cannot discuss anything. PSG wants to rely on players who want to stay and build something big. We do not need players who would do a favour for the club by staying here."
Neymar has been heavily linked with a comeback with the Blaugrana and there have been reports claiming that he may force through a departure from Parc des Princes. When Neymar's father was asked about the same, he happened to decline the speculation and insisted that the attacker would return to pre-season training next week after the completion of the duties with the Neymar foundation.
Barcelona have yet to make a formal approach to re-sign the former Santos graduate but reports have indicated that they may prefer an exchange of players for the attacker rather than a straight-cash move. Samuel Umtiti, Ivan Rakitic, and Ousmane Dembele have been touted as potential candidates, who could be offered as part of the deal to land Neymar this summer.

Multitudes 7 on the Impact of the Alterglobalisation Moment in Genua and New York's 9/11
* Special Issue: Multitude 7: "Apres Genes, Apres NY".
URL =
1.1 Article 1: Negri on Empire and Genua
1.2 Article 2: Naomi Klein on No Logo
1.3 Article 3: Paolo Virno on people vs the multitude
1.4 Article 4 : on Tarde
Michel Bauwens, 2003:
Article 1: Negri on Empire and Genua
Three Theses on Empire
- 1. Empire is still to be realized, as an alternative to imperialism
- 2. Empire has replaced imperialism
- 3. Empire can take the form of (American) imperialism
Negri distinguishes the three forms of monarchy, aristocracy, democracy
- Monarchy: "The three Romes: the military power of Washington, the financial power of New York, the culture power of Los Angeles"
- Aristocracy: international finance and multinational corporations
- Democracy: international institutions and NGO's
In the 'Byzantine' model hypothesis, the balance between these 3 forces disappears and the monarchy takes everything. Hence, there is no limitation to the appropriation of wealth and power by the elite.
Genua was the expression of the 'precarious class', all those young social and knowledge workers, who have uncertain presents and futures. There was a big religious presence but it was a religion of fraternity and solidarity, not compassion.
Article 2: Naomi Klein on No Logo
This book is about the struggle for 'symbolic power'. Paradoxically, brands give the consumer power of the producer, since, in order to preserve the trust, the latter must behave more 'ethically'. Since the heyday of the 1980s / 1990s , global brands are again losing out to localization.
Article 3: Paolo Virno on people vs the multitude
This was a core debate in the 16th cy. The concept of people converges to the idea of a 'general will' geared towards the formation of a (nation-) state, it is a 'centripetal' concept. The people converge towards the One, which is the state.
The concept of the multitude derives from the One, which is language, General Intellect, i.e. the generic faculties of the species. The multitude consists of individuated singularities (not per se also a people needing a state).
The pre-individual vs individuation: The individual consists of a pre-individual layer, consisting of:
- 1) biological perception
- 2) intersubjective language
- 3) means of production and general intellect
- Sources: Simondon, Vygotsky, Marx)
Contrary to common sense, Simondon affirms that individuality does not diminish in the collective, but on the contrary, enhances itself:
- "La vie de groupe est l'occasion d'une ultérieure et plus complexe individuation. Loin de régresser, la singularité (qui provient de l'universel indifférencié), s'affine et atteint son acmé dans l'agir ensemble".
It is especially the undifferentiated pre-individual aspects, which in turn get their chance to be individuated in collective life.
Article 4 : on Tarde
Tarde, though highly regarded in his lifetime, got totally eclipsed after his death because he was not recognized as a scientific sociologist by Durkheim, but he was rediscovered by Deleuze.
Tarde stressed the primacy of invention, and not labour and capital, as the motor force in history.
Tarde uses a metaphysics of monads, updating Leibniz. Contrary to the dead nature of Descartes, which needs an outside force to move its atoms, monads are self-driven by internal forces.
Tarde is a philosopher of 'difference', of invention and innovation, and as such a predecessor of Deleuze/Guattari.
Tarde can be seen as the real forerunner of cognitive capitalism, since he focused in inter-cerebral cooperation, and invention, as a key category that precedes the division of labor. Industrial labor, in a organized factory, is only reproduction, while true production is cognitive, and takes place in the cognitive and artistic sectors. But next to invention, he posits repetition, imitation, as the second key force. Every invention is mediated by the community, who has to accept it, and here, he prefigures the key key role of the media and public opinion.
Subjectivation, individuation, takes place in this context of cooperating brains which represent a permanent system of flows, which the individual mind condenses (= primacy of community)

Bauwens Reading Notes Project


Next month, the U.S. Navy will test fire Tomahawk missiles from an Ohio class ballistic missile submarine (SSBN). This has never been done before, but the test is being done to check out the new Tomahawk All-Up-Round (AUR) missile launching system. The navy wants to convert older Ohio subs to carry AURs (each containing seven Tomahawk missiles), in 22 of their 24 missile silos, instead of ballistic missiles.

Q: objective-c Novice - Needs help with changing outlets in different classes My main class MMAppViewController has an "IBOutlet UIImageView *padlock". This controller pushes a Level1View view which is my quiz game. The MMAppViewContoller has 2 buttons level 1 and level 2. Level 2 has the padlock on it and will unlock when a certain score is reached. When the MMAppViewController is pushed back, is there a way to hide the padlock. I know the following code will do this but my problem lies in where to put the code:
if(theScore>4){
        [padlock setHidden:TRUE];
}

With my Level1View i can put code in the "viewdidload()" section, but it does not work with my main view because it only seems to load once! I tried puting the code in my Level1View class but keep getting errors about tokens or it being undeclared:
[MMAppViewController padlock setHidden:TRUE];
or
[padlock setHidden:TRUE];

Is there a way of either putting this code in my Level1View class, or is there a way of having the code in my MMAppViewContoller class that will work when Level1View is "unpushed"?? (not sure of terminology)

A: Not knowing more about the structure of your program it's hard to know the right way to achieve this.
There are several possible approaches, but viewDidLoad is only going to be called once and should be used for setting up the view initially, and not for this sort of repeated logic.  You probably have a model object somewhere that holds the score. (If you don't, i.e. if theScore is an instance variable on your ViewController, as your snippets might imply, you should move it to it's own model object.) The best way to go about this would be for your ViewController to "observe" the model object that holds the score using Key-Value Observing.  Here's how you might achieve that:
Let's say you have the following model object to hold your game session data (here, only the current score):
@interface GameSession : NSObject
@property (readwrite) double score;
@end

... and its corresponding implementation ...
@implementation GameSession
@synthesize score;
@end

And then assuming you have a ViewController declaration that looks something like this:
@class GameSession;

@interface MyViewController : UIViewController
{
    GameSession *game;
    IBOutlet UIImageView *padlock;
}

@end

You could set up the following methods on the ViewController, such that every time the score value of the model object is modified, the ViewController will automatically update the hidden state of the padlock image view:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    game = [[GameSession alloc] init];
    [game addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"score" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial context: [RootViewController class]];

}

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context
{
    if (context == [RootViewController class])
    {
        if ([keyPath isEqualToString: @"score"])
        {
            NSNumber* newValue = [change objectForKey: NSKeyValueChangeNewKey];
            double currentScore = [newValue doubleValue];
            [padlock setHidden: (currentScore < 4.)];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        [super observeValueForKeyPath:keyPath ofObject:object change:change context:context];
    }
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [game removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"score"];
    [game release];
    game = nil;
    [super dealloc];
}

For a full explanation of Key-Value Observing, see this web page: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/KeyValueObserving/
Let me know if this isn't clear.

Mozilla Emerges from the Underground with New Allies
La Résistance has gone mainstream. Once a more-or-less underground combatant in the battle against the Internet Explorer empire, Mozilla and its Firefox browser are now engaging in full warfare with along with a couple of powerful new allies: Google and RealNetworks.
Mozilla's guerilla tactics already had Redmond, the overwhelming winner over Netscape in the first browser war, looking over its shoulder. Firefox controls as much as 15 percent of the global browser market today , and RealNetworks will now offer it, along with that pesky Google toolbar, to users who download the popular RealPlayer media player.
For the resistants, everything here makes sense. Google forks over a fair amount of money to have its toolbar set as the default in Firefox, so the more users who download the rebel browser, the happier the search giant will be. (Plus, as we know by now, Google just loves to set itself up in competition with Microsoft.) RealNetworks has a long-running feud with Microsoft now stoked by the competition between RealPlayer and Windows Media Player. And Mozilla... well, Mozilla just wants Firefox to take a bigger chunk out of IE's market share.
What remains to be seen is whether the power of RealPlayer -- an application that has survived competition from Microsoft -- can overcome the power of IE's bundling in Windows. Not many products have, but, like Symantec's recent deal with Yahoo!, this three-way deal is an attempt by a few industry heavyweights to shift the focus of product integration from Windows to the Web, thereby shifting Microsoft's role from keeper of the kingdom to struggling also-ran. The fact that RealPlayer is as popular as it is today despite competition from Redmond bodes well for this new troika. Plus, it gives bloggers and newsletter writers an excuse to use the word "troika."
As far as the new browser wars go, competition is never a bad thing. IE has always had its flaws, especially in terms of security. Some scary competition from Firefox -- say, 25 percent market share instead of 15 percent -- might be too late to affect IE7 development and features, but it could kick-start some serious innovation for the next version of Microsoft's browser and jolt Redmond out of the complacency that so easily sets in when a company dominates a market. So, with that in mind, "Vive la Résistance," and may this browser war not end up with the Empire crushing the rebels again.
Which browser do you prefer and why? Tell me here or e-mail me: lpender@rcpmag.com.

The Apprentice: The Final Five
Posted by Ed under authentic leadership, behavioural change, communication, leadership development, leading performance, recruitment, relationships, talent management | Tags: adam corbally, final five, jade nash, nick holzerr, ricky martin, the apprentice, tom gearing |
I'm not sure about this additional episode. In one way, it's the Personal Statement section of the application form, where we get to understand their individual drivers and see their pitch in terms of strengths. It also provides Karren and Nick – who, we should attempt to remember, are the two people who have actually witnessed and observed the participants over the long string of tasks they've completed. (Lord Sugar's acquaintance with them is limited to task-setting cameos, a quick game of whiff-whaff one afternoon and the Boardroom session, which focus mostly on the losers.)
In televisual terms – and for televisual reasons – it's also the sob story/background bit. Is this supplementary information that you'd normally welcome in a recruitment process, or sentimental special pleading masquerading as light entertainment? This is the kind of material that's usually filler in X Factor, surely? If this was Big Brother, a cartoon Geordie would announce at this point that "You decide".
But we don't. Lord Alan, Nick and Karren decide, and we don't know if they even care that so and so loves his Mum or comes from good stock. After all, so do – in their different ways – Edward VIII and bowls of dripping. I'm not sure I'd want to invest in either. What really drives them? It's too easy and tempting to say "A cab, with luck", but here is a summary of the runners and riders for the semi-final.
The youngest and richest contestant, he already turns over £3.5m a year at the age of 23. I can think of bank robbers who'd be jealous. Tom's mathematical prowess is a key strength, and a vital component of any team. He understands strategy and its importance, and values knowledge. A highly competitive man who may not rush in but takes big risks, he took over the family business at 20 and has turned it into a multinational operation. The downsides? He can overplay the technical aspects and over-rate the importance of knowledge (as we saw in the art task). The flipside of his youth is a comparative lack of maturity, and Mr Cool can melt rather suddenly when it doesn't go to plan. And he may have massive cojones, in the vocab of these competitions, but he flirts dangerously with public castration. Nor is he above the occasional temper tantrum. Tom is the one that the others think they have to beat, but he reminds me of Jane Austen's Emma. Only more hirsute and possibly in greater need of a few elocution lessons.
Sociable and creative, Jade never fails to make a contribution to a task. She seems to genuinely like people, except possibly Adam. (And might need to learn more about adapting to work with people who irritate her nostril linings and enflame her self-image.) She has immense energy, and works hard to the point of relentlessness: the word 'passion' got bandied around heavily in the summaries. But … she lacks management skills, and lost disastrously as a project manager as she simply didn't grasp what the task was about. Azhar may have nagged her endlessly about strategy, but she patently didn't have one. And she is a hesitant and poor decision maker, taking the wrong colleagues back into the Boardroom. She has the grit to make pearls but will need more than energy to obtain the oysters, even if she is focused (perhaps too) heavily on the money. Her second turn as PM showed that she can learn, although she was working 'on home turf'. Jade is a Duracell-powered model flamenco dancer who needs to listen to the musical backing more carefully.
Professional wrestler Ricky comes across initially as a bold as a bulky bloke in a lycra leotard. He can sell pretty much anything, although his proudest product is himself. Making a first impression as a blagger, he has had to use his impeccable verbal self-defense skills in the Boardroom, losing all his attempts as PM. (After the fitness and wine episodes, Ricky is – oddly, given his firm grasp of what makes a good pitch – not a man to involve in anything that involves a promo video. Watch 'em and weep.) Like Jade, he has brought the wrong colleagues back into the Boardroom too, and his people management skills aren't the strongest here. But he has learned, and values learning. Ricky's family back story (childhood divorce, first member of family to go to Uni) was played perhaps more than some of the others, and may be more critical to understanding him as a candidate: Ricky probably wants it more – at a personal level – than the others. As Nick Hewer put it, there's a big and quick brain in what appears to be a thick skull, and a rounded version of him is emerging. 'Less Ricky, More Richard', as he said himself. His trajectory – unlike Tom's – has been a positive one, but can he overcome the black marks? Ricky is a middle-weight punching his way into a ring with some heavy-weights already in it: can he land the knock-out?
Articulate, perceptive and calm, Nick stood up to PM the first task (always brave) and showed nerves of steel. Very measured, Nick always understands the task. He is also a strong teamplayer and an excellent peacemaker. Intelligent and popular with the other candidates, he has never been in the bottom three. But there are weaknesses: his innate politeness can leave him failing to speak up or to tackle problems that he has clearly identified – and this has cost his team victories. I was also left with a nagging sense that Nick's contributions are largely around his personality and attributes, rather than specific contributions that he makes. His lack of boardroom appearances also means that he has low visibility with Lord Sugar. Of the five contenders, he has also arguably learnt the least from the experience, although this is partly because he has been relatively strong from the outset. Nick is very easy going and, if he fails to visibly shine in the semi-final, he could be fairly easily gone. Nick is – fittingly, given his heritage – a smooth, creamy bar of Swiss milk chocolate. And perhaps too milky. Puns aside, Lord Sugar might be looking for a partner who brings something other than sweetness.
A fearless charmer and a natural salesman, it was a surprise to remember Adam is 32. It might not be a good sign that this comes across as not so much younger as less mature. Undeniably attention loving, this can also play as being gobby: if this was a band, he would contribute more trumpet solos than might be appreciated. Always willing to take credit, his need to be heard can mean he overplays his hand and sticks his nose in. He irritates Jade, although some viewers might consider that a strength. Running his own business since 19 and with a million pound property portfolio for rent, Adam can undoubtedly sell – even more so than Ricky. His watershed moment came after those meatballs, where he didn't understand either the brief or the task (or both). Adam has, however, learned, and his sterling turn in the art task showed that he can learn and adapt (although his approach to private views was 'refreshing'). He seems to have understood that success will mean less gob and more brain, but the strength that shines is selling. Of all the candidates, he's possibly the luckiest to be in the semi-final (Ricky has lost more often, but has a broader arsenal of strengths.) Adam certainly seems to be what it says on the tin – a very good fruit & veg stall owner. If that's a misjudgement, it's one that only he can correct.
The final task – luxury products (sigh) – is a final chance to demonstrate skills that the survivors will then have to defend in the interviews and with their business plans. (As the contenders who have created businesses, this should logically strengthen the case for Nick and Adam: Tom has inherited a family business, while Jade and Ricky are employees.)
As a programme that showed all five candidates in less comical/critical lights (it was far more sober and reflective than the task episodes, much to its merit), all emerged as more likeable, personable human beings: it is hard to dislike any of them. Ricky and Adam have the most to prove in terms of overturning impressions already created; Tom and Jade must show their strengths and avoid falling prey to their downsides. Nick must actually create an impression. Were I a betting man, my fiver would probably be on one of the latter three, although the interview round can always spring surprises. (Think who is least likely to have oversold themselves on paper, and can give the best verbal account of themselves in a tight corner without resorting to aggression.) The prize is as much for four of them to lose as for one of them to win, and – unlike last year – I don't feel myself rooting for one of them.

Nice summary of the final five there, I thought that all of them have a lot to prove in the final where it matters the most, and it will be interesting to see what kind of business plans that they have in mind.

Lady Lucan shares what she believes really happened to her late husband
The Dowager Countess told the story of her difficult marriage more than three decades after her husband disappeared.
Lady Lucan will give her own views of what happened to her late husband, Lord Lucan, in a breakthrough television interview.
The 79-year-old will share intimate details of the pair's turbulent relationship 35 years after his mysterious disappearance.
Lady Lucan, formally named Veronica, Dowager Countess of Lucan, said she believed he had made the "brave" decision to take his own life following the murder of family nanny Sandra Rivett in November 1974.
It is widely believed that Lucan, who was never found after her death, was the one who killed her.
Ahead of the hour-long documentary interview, Lord Lucan: My Husband, The Truth, Radio Times magazine shared some of her words with director Michael Waldman.
She said: "I would say he got on the ferry and jumped off in the middle of the Channel in the way of the propellers so that his remains wouldn't be found – I think quite brave."
During the ITV programme, which broadcasts at 9pm on Monday, she spoke of her own depression and her husband's violent nature following their marriage in 1963.
Describing how he would beat her with a cane to get the "mad ideas out of your head", she said: "He could have hit harder. They were measured blows.
"He must have got pleasure out of it because he had intercourse (with me) afterwards."
Lucan was officially declared dead in 1999, leaving behind the pair's three children who Lady Lucan said she has not spoken to in more than three decades.
Asked about her role as a mother, she said: "I could have been better. I did stay in bed rather too often."
But she added: "It is not my fault that I lost my family… it will always be a mystery to me."

The Break-Up of Britain
by Tom Nairn
410 pages / / 9780860917069
In this new, expanded edition, Nairn reviews the issues and arguments of his classic study, and maintains that the break-up of Britain has advanced with quite unforeseen speed. The shapes of the British crisis, in its latest stage are visible in Thatcher's 'phoney counter-revolution', the convulsions of Labour and the rise of the Social Democrats. The shape of a possible resolution may be glimpsed in the development of the Alternative Economic Strategy and in an 'alternative political strategy' capable of responding the the now more radical nationalisms of Scotland and Wales. This expanded version of The Break-Up of Britain is frank in reconsidering the arguments of the first edition and vigorous in developing them into the present. It will confirm Nairn's matchless standing on the left as an analyst of British politics.
"Densely and brilliantly argued ... original and perceptive."
– Economist
"Burning-glass of a mind ... disconcerting in its withering contempt not only for the British state but for everything associated with it."
– Guardian
"Vitriolic wit ... The method is resolutely materialist."
– Time Out
Scott Lavery
Dilemmas of Over-Development: Scottish Nationalism and the Future of the Union
At the height of the crisis of the 1970s Tom Nairn published his collection of essays The Break-Up of Britain, which soon became a key intellectual reference point for the Scottish and British left. Post-Brexit, could those same trends that Nairn predicted would lead to the break-up of Britain be returning? In this article, Scott Lavery asks what Nairn can teach us today.

Tom Nairn: The Twilight of the British State
Brexit has thrown the British state into crisis. This week's defeat for Theresa May's proposed deal was the single biggest by a sitting government in the modern era. As Tom Nairn writes, "only a few years ago, the break-up of Britain was almost inconceivable". Not so much anymore. However, these words weren't written in 2019, but 1977. In this, the return of Verso's Weekend Reads, we republish Tom Nairn classic account of the nature, and the twilight, of the British state.


The tea that we know and enjoy today is produced from the leaves of the an evergreen bush called Camellia sinensis. The leaves are steeped in boiling water. Depending on the kind of tea sometimes sweeteners or milk is added as well.
As I researched the history of tea, I came across this 5-minute thorough history from Ted Ed and it made me happy. Hope you enjoy it too!
Moral of the story: China is the original home of tea, though it has been ingrained in myriad cultures and has become an industry in counties all over the world. The fact that it's the second most imbibed beverage after water IS AMAZING!
So what kind of teas are there? There are five primary types of tea: black, oolong, green, white and pu-ehr. All are the same tea leaf, oxidized and/or fermented to various degrees to pull out different flavors.
If your kids are old enough to have a spot of tea, go for it! Make a date out of it. If it's in the morning, enjoy shortbread cookies or biscotti with breakfast. If the afternoon, try some tea sandwiches (here are 50 options!). If in the evening, enjoy a cup curled up on the couch and chat about your day.
COOK AND BAKE WITH TEA!
Pick a country around the world and they will most likely have traditions around preparing, serving, and/or enjoying tea (Here's Doris Day singing about it!). One of the most well known is the Japanese Tea Ceremony (which you can learn more about here, then watch the 10-minute ceremony).

Pagekon řasnatý (Correlophus ciliatus) je drobný ještěr, který se vyskytuje na Nové Kaledonii, hlavně na ostrůvcích Grande Terre a Île des Pins. Je to oblíbený terarijní živočich. Poprvé byl popsán v roce 1866. Až do znovuobjevení v roce 1994 byl považován za vyhynulý druh.

Taxonomie
Autor prvního popisu druhu, francouzský zoolog Alphonse Guichenot, stanovil označení Correlophus ciliatus. Později byl druh přejmenován na Rhacodactylus ciliatus, nejnovější taxonomická analýza však zjistila výraznou odlišnost od velkých gekonů a navrhla návrat ke Guichenotovu označení.

Vzhled
Pagekoni dorůstají délky přes 16 centimetrů. Zbarvení může být rezavé-to je nejčastější, nazelenalé, bleděžluté nebo hnědé. Kůže zpravidla není jednobarevná: má na sobě flíčky, nepravidelné pruhy nebo tečky. Hlava má přibližně tvar kosočtverce a nad očima vyrůstají malé výstupky, jakoby "řasy", které se pak táhnou podél hlavy a přes hřbet až ke kořeni ocasu. Ovíjivý ocas je v koncové části oploštělý, a pokud se zvíře cítí ohroženo, může se část ocasu odlomit. Odlomená část již pak nikdy nedoroste do původní velikosti.

The National Policy Position establishes the fundamental national objective of achieving transition to a competitive, low carbon, climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable economy by 2050.
2015 Climate Action & Low Carbon Development Act
The Climate Action & Low Carbon Development Act 2015 was signed into law in December 2015. The Act provides for establishment of a national framework with the aim of achieving transition to a low carbon, climate resilient and environmentally sustainable economy by 2050.
2017 National Mitigation Plan
The first National Mitigation Plan on climate change was published on the 19th July 2017 under the 2015 Act. It defines the scale of the decarbonising challenge facing Ireland. It is not a complete roadmap but represents an initial step to set Ireland on a pathway to a low carbon, climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable economy by 2050.
A landmark Supreme Court judgment given on 31 July 2020 quashed the National Mitigation Plan as it is non-compliant with the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act, 2015. This means the government will now need to pass a new Mitigation Plan in compliance with the Act that has appropriate specificity to ensure that we meet our objective of transitioning to a low carbon climate resilient and environmental sustainable economy by the end of 2050.
Further information can be found here.
2018 National Adaptation Framework (NAF)
The NAF was published in 2018 under the 2015 Act. It outlines the national strategy for the application of adaptation measures in different sectors, including Local Authorities, to reduce the vulnerability of the country to the negative effects of climate change and to avail of positive impacts. It adopts an iterative approach to climate change adaptation and requires the 12 key sectors of the Irish economy and all local authorities to develop and implement sectoral and local adaptation strategies. These plans are to be reviewed and updated every 5 years. The first iteration of sector and local authority adaptation strategies were published in September 2019.
Further information can be found on the Departments website here.
2018 Sustainable Development Goals National Implementation Plan 2018 - 2020
The Plan sets out an ambitious vision for how Ireland will fully achieve the SDGs at home by 2030 and support their implementation around the world.
The plan includes a 'SDG Matrix' which identifies the responsible government departments for each of the 169 targets. It also contains a 'SDG Policy Map' indicating the relevant national policies for each of the targets. The plan sets out 19 specific actions to implement over the duration of this first SDG National Implementation Plan.
2019 Climate Action Plan
The Climate Action Plan published in July 2019 evolved from the 2017 Citizens Assembly's third report and recommendations. The Plan sets out 183 actions to be undertaken over the coming years to address the challenges of climate change. The plan recognises the important role of Local Authorities in delivering the actions due to their existing experience and expertise. Local Authorities are named as lead/key stakeholders in 30 of the actions related to built environment, energy, transport and waste management and are directly involved in many more.
The Plan also recognises the role of Local Authorities in leading change through the implementation of local adaptation strategies, providing support to the delivering of sectoral adaptation actions at a local level.
2019 Sectoral & Local Authority Adaptation Strategies
Under Ireland's National Adaptation Framework, local authorities and a number of Government Departments were required to prepare sectoral adaptation strategies/plans in relation to the priority areas. These plans can be found on the Climate Ireland website on their Adaptation Strategy Explorer.
2020 Amendments to the Act
The Irish Government published the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill on 7 October 2020.
Key elements of the Bill include:
Establishment of a 2050 target in law – known as the 'National 2050 Climate Objective' by committing to a climate resilient and climate neutral economy by the end of the year 2050.
Establishment of a system of 5-year, economy-wide carbon budgets starting in 2021, which are to be set on a 15-year cycle. Each five year carbon budget will allocate emissions ceilings to all relevant sectors (known as 'decarbonisation target ranges'). The first budgets will span 2021-2035.
Annual revisions of the Climate Action Plan (Ireland's first such plan was published in 2019) and the requirement to prepare a National long-term Climate Action Strategy at least every decade.
Obligation for greater climate action at regional and local level, with local authorities required to develop five-year Climate Action Plans with mitigation and adaptation measures included. The Minister will request such a plan within 18 months of the enactment of the Bill, and not less than once in every five-year period going forward thereafter.
Strengthening the role of the Climate Change Advisory Council to advise and propose carbon budgets to Government.
Greater accountability and oversight by the Oireachtas with all relevant ministers required to give account for their sectors annually.
Further information on the amendments can be found here.

Q: How to match up 2 columns with 2 other columns In column A I have product id's and column B has the number of times the product in column A was quoted.
In column C I have the same product id's (but in different order) and column D has the number of times the product in column C was actually sold.
I want to match them up to add a final column in order to divide sales/quoted in order to get a value of efficiency in sales.
I believe it's an index/match/match but I'm not sure how to set it up.
Please help

A: Try
=B3/vlookup(A3,C:D,2,false)

In words: take the value in B3 and divide it by the value from column D where column C has the same text as A3.

Franchised fast food is not normally my cup of tea, but I've made exceptions before- like our family outing at Lafleur's in Montreal. On the way home from my visit to Boston University with Veggyhead, we were feeling the need for food before braving the rush hour traffic on the Mass Pike. There aren't too many places that can please a full on carnivore like myself and a vegetarian like Veggyhead, much less a fast food joint. We weren't too far from the Allston, Massachusetts location of this region's most recently successful Hot Dog Franchise, Spike's Junkyard Dogs, so we decided to give it a go. Veggyhead had a hankering for a veggydog and was yearning for some of the internet stardom experienced by her sister, Little Miss.
I knew we wouldn't find the owner here, so I didn't poke around and bother the help too much; No hablaron de todos modos Inglés.
"David Drake had a bulldog named Spike. One day, someone saw the dog and said, 'Look at him, he's a real junkyard dog.' That comment helped unleash a highly successful fast-food business called Spike's Junkyard Dogs — an inventive restaurant chain serving unique hot dogs in a unique environment."
Rather than re-tell a tale that's been told about the making of a hot dog franchise empire, I'll leave it to you readers to find out for yourselves on Spike's website.
I'll say one thing about this place, it's got character!
The interior is covered with "junkyard-like" decor.
Some of the signs inside are on the humorous side.
A unique feature at each Spike's location is "The Kennel Club." If you can eat 6 or more hot dogs in 30 minutes (without using the rest room), you get a free Spikes Tee Shirt and your picture on the "Wall of Fame." Eat more than the reigning champ (16 at this location) and you get a tee shirt, hat and your meal is free; you also get featured in the "Top Dogs" area. Blow chunks: DISQUALIFIED! I wonder if Tyler from BOSE could pull this off…..
This place certainly has more personality than your standard Mickey D's, but even this sign couldn't convince me.
The proof is in the pudding, or, in this case, the hot dog. The guarantee made me feel a bit more confident.
In addition to Hot Dogs, there are chicken sandwiches, subs, burgers, wings and pizza.
Spike's serves up their own house brand hot dog on a fresh baked sub style roll. The sign says it all. There are too many condiments and toppings to list! It didn't take long for our dogs to be ready. Veggyhead got a Veggy Dog with brown mustard. This is basically soy protein and spices rolled into the shape of a hot dog. Hey, it takes all kinds.
I went for a "meal deal" which is a hot dog, curly fries and a drink. I, of course, got a Diet Pepsi. The dog I ordered was called a Casey Dog. It has barbecue sauce, sauteed onions, BACON, and melted cheddar cheese. Will you look at that dog! Wow.
Time to CHOW DOWN (drum roll for Veggyhead's Hot Dog Stories debut).
DOH! Just like Mrs. Hotdogman!
At least I'M not shy about CHOWING DOWN!
Well, well, well. The Hotdogman is going to have to rethink his position on franchised fast food. This was one fine hot dog. The dog was reminiscent of an all beef Pearl frank. The melted cheddar cheese had a smoky flavor that contrasted nicely with the sauteed onions. The barbecue sauce completed the flavor trifecta while the bacon brought the whole concoction to new heights of awesomeness. If I didn't go to new hot dog places 2-3 times a week, I'd endeavor to eat my way through the 3 dozen or so specialty dogs Spike's offers. This was not only much better than I expected, it was something I'd want to have again- and that's high praise from the Hotdogman!
Veggyhead liked her veggy dog and she gives Spike's TWO THUMBS UP!
TWO BIG THUMBS UP FROM THE HOTDOGMAN!!

Matting products are classified according to their applications or uses. We have matting products that are classified as safety matting products because they are mainly used to provide floor safety in any building. Safety matting products prevent people from falling down on wet slippery floors and injuring themselves. Most floor mats qualify as safety matting products because they provide traction on slippery floors thereby protecting users from suffering accidental slips and falls. Even logo mats, which are mainly used to promote brand awareness and for other marketing purposes, are usually designed as slip proof mats to enhance floor safety in commercial and industrial environments. We will now define safety matting and then look at the different types of safety mats before sharing tips for choosing safety matting solutions.
Safety matting refers to all matting solutions and products that are designed to provide floor safety to the user. These mats are designed in such a way that the user cannot slip and fall even when walking on wet slippery floors. Basically, safety floor mats feature traction ridges on their surfaces which enables them to hold on tightly to the floor even when the surface is wet and slippery. These mats cannot slide and move when you step on them and they also grip your shoe tightly to prevent you from slipping and falling when you are walking on them. Safety matting also refers to all other matting products that keep the user safe from any other harmful hazard. This includes all floor mats that prevent cross-contamination in various working areas. We also have all floor mats that protect the user from electrical shocks, such as ESD matting solutions.
Like mentioned above, safety matting solutions provide safety to the user. There are many different types of floor mats all providing one kind of protection or the other to the user. The most common type of safety matting products is the slip resistant floor mats. These mats provide traction to the user thereby protecting him from slipping and falling while walking on wet and slippery floors. Anti slip mats are installed both at home and in commercial/industrial settings. A good example of these slip proof mats is the entrance mat. Entrance or entryway floor mats are installed at the main entrance of any house or building. These mats help to prevent accidental falls as people walk into a building. Another type of safety mat is the medical mat. Medical floor mats are serially designed commercial mats that prevent cross-contamination in healthcare facilities. These mats have a long-lasting sterilization agent or chemical, which prevents germs, microbes, and bacteria from multiplying and infecting users. Anti fatigue floor mats also qualify as safety matting products because they keep the users healthy and relaxed even after standing for long.

The guy on the US ten-dollar bill is, of course, Alexander Hamilton and he was killed in a duel by Vice President Aaron Burr.
Hamilton was a revolutionary war hero and leading architect of the new American government. He co-authored the Federalist Papers, considered one of the most important contributions to American political thought. As Washington's right-hand man and the first US Secretary of the Treasury, he formulated an economic policy that got the then-new nation on its feet.
Aaron Burr was a colonel in the Continental Army and briefly served – as Hamilton did – with Washington at Valley Forge. In the election of 1800, he was in a deadlock with Thomas Jefferson for the presidency, with 73 votes each. The election went to the House of Representatives to be decided. There Federalist votes kept the election deadlocked until the 36th ballot, when Hamilton's influence gave the presidency to Jefferson. Burr, a Republican, became vice president.
Many at the time thought that the political mudslinging of Burr by Hamilton may have cost him the election. The animosity between the two men would continue until July 1804 when Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel, and as was customary, was accepted.
The fateful day came on July 11, 1804 at Weehawken, New Jersey. Vice President Aaron Burr and former Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton faced off, and Hamilton was mortally wounded. He was dragged from the dueling area and died the next day. While the nation mourned, Burr returned to complete his term as vice president but his success in the duel proved to be to his detriment. There was some talk of murder charges being brought against him, but as the rules of the duel were followed, no indictment was carried forward. He would later go on to be charged for treason for his ill-fated attempt to establish his own empire in the South.
Aaron Burr (1756-1836) served as US Vice President from 1801-05. He disliked Hamilton, accusing him of competing for political positions and the favors of married women in New York's high society.
Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) was mortally wounded in a duel with Aaron Burr. Hamilton disliked Burr because the orphan Burr came from a relatively privileged background while he was the unacknowledged illegitimate son of a Jamaican planter.

The purpose of fire drills is to ensure the efficient and safe exit of facilities in the case of an emergency. Proper drills ensure orderly exit under control and prevent panic. Order and control are the primary purposes of the drill. Speed in emptying buildings, while desirable, is not in itself an object, and should be made secondary to the maintenance of proper order.
Fire drills shall be designed and conducted according to the occupancies specified below. Responsibility for the planning and conduct of drills shall be assigned by campus risk management to competent persons qualified to exercise leadership. A written record of all drills conducted should be maintained including a critique of the event. This record should be maintained by risk management.
Drills shall include suitable procedures to make sure that all persons in the building, or all persons subject to the drill, actually participate. If a fire drill is considered merely as a routine exercise from which some persons may be excused, there is a grave danger that in an actual fire, the drill will fail in its intended purpose.
All drills should be pre-planned and preannounced. Surprise drills tend to limit productive learning, breed apprehension, and cause passivity to future alarms. Any alarm not preceded by plan or announcement shall be treated as an actual fire condition. Fire drills shall be held with sufficient frequency to familiarize all occupants with the drill procedure and to have the conduct of the drill a matter of established routine.
Drills should be carefully planned to simulate actual fire conditions. Not only should they be held at varying times, but different means of exit should be used based upon an assumption that if some given stairway is unavailable by reason of fire or smoke, all the occupants must be led out by some other route. Fire exit drills should be designed to familiarize the occupants with all available means of exits, particularly emergency exits that are not habitually used during the normal occupancy of the building.
The usefulness of a fire drill and the extent to which it can be carried depends upon the character of the occupancy. Drills are most effective in occupancies such as classrooms, where the occupant load of the building is somewhat consistent. In buildings where the occupant load is of a changing character, no regularly organized fire drill is possible.
In such cases, the fire drills must be limited to the regular employees, who can be thoroughly schooled in the proper procedure and can be trained to properly direct other occupants of the building in case of fire. In occupancies such as the Student Center, regular employees can be rehearsed in the proper procedure in case of fire. Such training always is advisable in all occupancies whether or not regular fire drills can be held.
All educational buildings on campus must hold one fire drill per semester, preferably during the first four weeks of the semester. Faculty and staff shall work in cooperation with risk management in scheduling drills before the semester begins.
Evacuation instructions are to be conspicuously posted in each classroom, and hallway to provide the necessary evacuation information and ensure orderly egress from the building. Signs should also specify that elevators must not be used to exit during a fire drill.
Classroom faculty and staff should be familiar with the easiest exit to be used in the fire drill and the alternative exits available. Faculty and staff should close (not lock) doors and windows and take responsibility for checking facilities for complete evacuation. All personal belongings within reach should be taken from classrooms by students.
Handicapped students should inform faculty or staff at the start of the semester of any special requirements with respect to locations and procedures that will best facilitate those students' egress from the building in an emergency. In general, wheelchair users should go to the stairwell which is furthest from the fire and wait for help. Fire departments should be notified that stairwells be checked first. Other handicapped persons should be assisted by students, faculty or staff. Do not leave a handicapped person alone.
Residential facilities demonstrate the greatest need for adequate and effective fire exit awareness due to the potential loss of life. Fire drills in residence halls must be performed once a semester at a minimum. Because of the nature of the occupancy, it is usually the case that additional drills are performed due to false alarms.
A major concern in residence hall fire drills is the resistance of residents to evacuate the building in the event of a drill. Resident assistants and other staff must take responsibility for the complete and orderly evacuation of the building. Education and awareness are key components to an effective fire evacuation program. Directional signs in hallways and in each dorm room will help student to become more fully aware of their options.
Special consideration must be given to handicapped students with regard to fire safety in residence halls. To be most effective, handicapped students should be required to evacuate the building during a fire drill regardless of their location in the building. Preplanning is key for the handicapped person because his/her own familiarity with the buildings, exists, and the safest methods of egress is vital. First responders should preplan by having designated individuals assigned to evacuate handicapped persons requiring assistance. The handicapped person should also seek out buddies to assist in the evacuation and should explain all instructions beforehand. No one should be left behind during a fire drill or fire condition.
To facilitate evacuation, handicapped persons should be assigned to rooms on ground or egress level whenever possible. Rooms should be identified on the outside of the building with a distinctly coded sign to advise the fire department without distinguishing the student. If evacuation of a handicapped person is not possible, he/she should return to the room, close the door or proceed to the nearest stairwell if possible and wait for the fire department rescue. For this reason, each dorm should have a list of all handicapped students and their room location on file with the fire department. On each floor of the facility, the resident staff should proceed down the hall knocking loudly on each door as he/she passes. Staff should not unlock each door as this is time consuming and may result in danger to the staff person.
Because actual fire drills are not practical for places of non-continuous assembly where the students or public body changes with each program, employees or attendants of such places should be schooled in the duties they are to perform in case of fire in order to be of greatest service in effecting an orderly exit.
An adequate number of competent attendants must be on duty when assembly occupancy is used. Attendants should be instructed in the proper use of portable fire extinguishers and other manual fire suppression equipment if provided.
Signs with directions for speedy and orderly egress should be posted.


The Moto G5 punches way above its weight with a top quality 5.two-inch 1080p show, metal body, fingerprint sensor, and a very decent camera for its price tag. For $230 you get 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM with a Snapdragon 625 processor, or for $300 you can bump that up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. A single final point to take into account here is image stabilization. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is a feature on greater-end mobile cameras that mechanically stabilizes your camera sensor to lessen shaking in videos and blur in still photos. Electronic image stabilization (EIS) accomplishes the same process, but it really is accomplished with anti-shake and anti-blur computer software soon after you have finished recording, so it is not really as very good. However, EIS is much better than no image stabilization at all, so look for an OIS camera 1st, an EIS camera second, and pass on a device that does not support either.If you cherished this article and you would like to receive a lot more details about browse This Site kindly pay a visit to our own web site. 5.

Does a medical emergency remove a driver's liability in a crash?
On Behalf of Gaar Law Firm | Feb 12, 2021 | motor vehicle accidents
There are many issues that could lead to a car crash. One big problem that could quickly become life-threatening is when a driver suffers from a medical emergency. Even if that emergency isn't necessarily dangerous to the driver, the fact that they will lose control of their vehicle creates an extremely threatening situation for themselves, their passengers and others on the road.
Drivers who suffer from medical emergencies may argue that they are not at fault for a collision, but they may be held responsible in some cases. For example, if they had a long onset of symptoms but chose to drive anyway, then they could face a lawsuit. Similarly, if they knew that they were not supposed to drive because of a medical condition, such as a seizure disorder or uncontrolled diabetes, then being behind the wheel may have been not only unsafe but also illegal.
Do states recognize medical emergencies as a defense to liability?
They do in many cases, but only if the driver can show that the medical emergency was sudden and unforeseen. For instance, a driver who has the sudden onset of a heart attack or the first seizure they've ever had would be unlikely to know that these conditions would occur.
On the other hand, someone who is suffering from an allergy and decides to get behind the wheel instead of calling 911 for support should have known they were putting people in danger if they went into anaphylaxis while driving. These are the kinds of scenarios that make a difference if you're hit and want to make a claim against the driver.
If the other driver claims a medical emergency led to the crash that you were injured in, what should you do?
If the at-fault driver in your case claims that it was a medical emergency that caused the crash and tries to avoid liability, it's important to discuss your case with your attorney to see what your options may be. You may have the option to pursue compensation despite the emergency occurring, so that you can get your own bills and losses covered by the other party.
