Learning Agreements
Ongoing research at the Chair of Economic Policy covers topics in Public Economics and Behavioral Economics. A current focus is on individual compliance decisions, especially in the context of tax compliance and public good provision. For example, several projects analyze tax compliance and tax fraud, or how individuals' motivation for voluntary contributions (donations) relates to tax morale. Recent projects extend the focus on compliance to topics including racial discrimination and work performance under monitoring.
New Research and Work in Progress:
Online Teaching Effectiveness
In several projects, we study the effectiveness of online teaching. In an RCT, we study the effects of remote peer mentoring at a German university that switched to online teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is a structured mentoring program featuring mentors and mentees meeting one-on-one online to discuss topics like self-organization and study techniques. We find positive impacts on motivation, studying behavior, and exam registrations. The intervention does not seem to shift earned credits on average, but we demonstrate strong positive effects on the most able students. In contrast to prior research, effects are more pronounced for male students. Further analyses on the effects of online teaching based on comprehensive registry data from a large German university are in progress.
Personality Traits, Sorting into College Major, and Academic Achievement
We run a large-scale survey of personality traits and economic preferences among students at a large German university. The survey is administered a few days into the students' first term and thus captures traits at baseline. We combine the survey data with comprehensive registry data until graduation to study how traits affect sorting into majors, and to explore which traits predict academic achievement conditional on sorting.
Monitoring and Work Performance
This project investigates the motivational effects of monitoring technologies on work performance by means of an online experiment. In a principal agent situation with a real-effort task, the principal chooses the monitoring intensity and the agent her respective effort level in the task. The treatments identify a crowding-out of intrinsic motivation caused by performance monitoring.
Racial Discrimination in Seeking Advice
This project sets up a new type of online experiment to study racial discrimination in seeking advice. The experimental design overcomes the long-standing problem of distinguishing between belief-driven and animus-driven discrimination. The project further contributes to a sparse literature focusing situations in which discriminative behavior is costly to the discriminating individual.
Social Recognition and Exit Decisions
In a large-scale field experiment with several hundred thousand subjects, we investigate how social recognition affects exit decisions in a context where members of a community jointly finance a public good and subjects can avoid payment by means of an exit decision. We show that social recognition for staying (and thus for contributing) has heterogeneous effects, and that the treatment effect on the willingness to stay varies systematically with the price of community membership.
Who to Target in Fundraising? A Field Experiment on Gift Exchange
This project studies the optimal targeting of gifts in fundraising. We implement a randomized field experiment in a setting where a fundraiser sends out annual solicitation letters to a large population of individuals. Three treatment groups are compared: a control group, a gift treatment group, and a gift-plus-recognition treatment group. We identify a distinct heterogeneity in responses to the gift treatment: both the extensive margin and the intensive margin effects are hump-shaped with respect to donors' baseline willingness to donate, translating into a hump-shaped average treatment effect. Due to the heterogeneity, up-front gifts are cost effective only for individuals with a moderate baseline probability to donate. Targeting the gift to those individuals leads to net revenue gains of 37.3 percent relative to a uniform provision of the gift. We also demonstrate that gifts are not profitable if they are framed in terms of recognition for past donations. The latter finding suggests that behavior in gift exchange is mostly driven by reciprocity concerns.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued eight Form 483 citations at Pfizer's McPherson, Kansas plant since 2012 after a follow-up inspection from July and August. The FDA had sent Pfizer a warning letter last February regarding GMP violations and poor asceptic processing.
The FDA noted failures to properly investigate mold contamination that led to finished product being rejected, inadequate procedures in preventing microbial contamination, subpar cleaning and disinfecting procedures and the inappropriate use of manufacturing, processing and packaging equipment.

State Assembly: Random Acts of Kindness Are OK
Published March 12, 2009 • Updated on March 12, 2009 at 2:37 pm
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The state Assembly has adopted legislation shielding Good Samaritans from lawsuits when they come to someone's aid in California.
The bill by Assemblyman Mike Feuer was passed Thursday by a 74-0 vote. No lawmaker spoke in opposition.
The Los Angeles Democrat introduced the bill after the California Supreme Court in December ruled that the state's Good Samaritan law only protects people from liability if they are administering emergency medical care.
The ruling stemmed out of a lawsuit brought by a Southern California woman whose friend pulled her from a wrecked car. Alexandra Van Horn was left paralyzed from the 2004 crash and she sued Lisa Torti for pulling her out of the car "like a rag doll."
The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.

We know, we know…you want to be an engaged citizen and an informed voter, but who has the time—or the attention span—to actually go through each of the provincial political parties' platforms for a good old game of compare and contrast? Thankfully, the guys behind Double Blind Science have taken on this onerous task so you can arrive at the ballot box with more than just a vague idea of what you're actually voting for (even if the names of some of the candidates come as a surprise).
Double Blind is a project by Vancouver filmmakers Jesse Lupini, Lucas Kavanagh and Blair Barrington, who in addition to their skills with moving pictures also have backgrounds in science and education. They've been producing podcasts and videos on a variety of topics but their issue-by-issue review of the main B.C. party platforms is by far the best primer we've seen in the run-up to next week's election. Check out their other stuff here.
Here's what the industry can do about it!
Laugh-out-loud comedy, thought-provoking literary discussions and more spoken word events happening this fall.

Coyotes can be one of the toughest challenges for a rifleman. They are relatively small targets, they're constantly on the move, and their keen eyesight usually keeps them at a long range from the gun.
But, with these 8 tips, you'll hit more coyotes this winter.
Choose a spot with low brush in front and ample vegetation behind you to break up your silhouette. Don't skyline yourself.
To develop a smooth trigger break, keep the trigger hand relaxed. A death grip on the rifle will degrade your marksmanship.
Keep your scope's magnification under 6X for a better field of view and to increase your speed for follow-up shots.


I'm trying to figure out when to post or not post press information. I personally love seeing it when no one else has posted it, but since Guerlain's Holiday 2012 collection is kind of old news to me by now, the enthusiasm to get it up on the blog immediately is somewhat lacking.
I know many of you don't like reading press releases anymore, so I decided to post them as albums on my Facebook page. This way I don't clutter up the blog and you can choose whether to click on the album to view the pictures!
Does this work? Or would you rather see them on the blog itself?
I do want to highlight the usual beauties from Guerlain's holiday collection. While I don't particularly like the pinks and purples (reminds me of the Perles d'Or holiday set from two years ago), the packaging croons to me. How beautiful would it be to have this jetblack meteorite case sitting on my table? Also, the entire collection is inspired by the Liu fragrance, thus the "Oriental" spin (though what holiday collection hasn't been about red and gold, pray tell?). That said, I'm a complete sucker for things inspired by my heritage, so I'll definitely let you know if I cave for one of these when they hit counters.
I'd love seeing it on the blog... and Guerlain's collection is breathtakingly gorgeous! I love the ornate oriental touches.
PerilouslyPale- I guess I'll make an exception for exquisite products!
birkinbagbeauty- I actually really like the pearls, for some reason!
I love seeing it on the blog. Much better than facebook!
Please continue to post all of the information on the blog. I can't even click on that lovely eye and lip pallette with the gorgeous reds. One can choose to read or skip the PR's. I have the D'Or Pearles from two years ago, I believe, and I love them. Very light and they do not leave a shimmer that is discernible at all. I do not like shimmer on my face much.

John Singleton Sets Up 1980s Crack Cocaine Epidemic Origins Project At Showtime
When he's not penning op-eds on Hollywood's shortsightedness for The Hollywood Reporter, John Singleton moonlights as a director, in case you weren't aware.
Singleton has teamed up with Showtime and writer Eric Amadio to develop a 1980s-set crack cocaine era drama titled Snowfall, which is described succinctly, if reductively, as "Boyz n the Hood meets The Wire."
The drama will explore what has been come to be known as the American crack epidemic – the surge of crack cocaine across the USA (specifically Los Angeles in this case) during the mid to late 1980s.
An "origin" story, at the center of the drama will be: a young black kid from Compton, CA who will grow to become the world's first "superstar" drug dealer, a Mexican wrestler, and a CIA agent charged with laundering money for the Contras.
Singleton will co-write and exec produce the drama, as well as direct the pilot.
He's also attached to direct the long-in-development Tupac Shakur biopic, and previously teamed up with Russell Simmons on an HBO project called Club Life: Miami – a drama that's said to be set against the South Beach club scene and follows a reformed criminal who moves to Miami and gains a new lease on life as he embraces the vibrant, youthful and transgressive world.
Singleton will write, and will executive produce the project along with Simmons.


Media enhancement and restoration is currently an intensive manual process. The goal of AVEROS is to create an easily accessible, automated, scalable and fast video restoration and enhancement service operable by non-expert users.
AVEROS envisions a robust and efficient restoration system, designed as a flexible white-label service. Public and in-house media cloud based services can brand the AVEROS offering and combine it with existing media services to ensure the fastest market take-up and to create a high value offering for specific end-user groups.
A successful IBC has come to an end. The Show offered a great opportunity to share views with you on solutions based on the AVEROS technology. We hope you had the chance to come by and discuss your ideas and needs for AV media restoration in cloud based environments.
In case you missed us, don't be sad! Feel free to send us a message or sign up for news using the Contactform!
The service layer is the top layer of the AVEROS cloud service. It is the responsibility of the service layer to provide a secure multi-tenancy and distributed load- balanced computing capacity in order to achieve robust and scalable multi-user operations.
The service layer widely abstracts cloud web service and future user requirements to the Intermediate Layer below. This is made possible by utilising external Platform as a Service offering.
The design of the browser-based interfaces to control the AVEROS service is beyond the scope of AVEROS. This way, external partners define the look and feel of this white label service.
On-going research focuses on automatic parameter settings to work highly synchronised with human perception and its high performance implementation.
The AVEROS team brings together more than 15 years of experience. The service builds upon its market-leading toolsets to create high-quality film, video and audio restoration. It aims to become the new market standard in bringing high-quality automatic video restoration and enhancement service to the cloud to exploit this fast growing demand.
AVEROS is intended to be licensed as a white-label service. The team has close contacts with numerous cloud and service providers who offer professional-grade media services. The business model will be based on a one-time setup fee and some volume-based fees. If you are looking to include automatic video restoration and enhancement services in your offerings, leave your details for more information.

East Kilbride Community Trust has a new goal … to expand the sports facilities at its K-Park Training Academy.
The charity (EKCT) has lodged plans with South Lanarkshire Council for an indoor sports facility, incorporating a multi-purpose games hall and a designated boxing facility.
Situated within the boundary of K-Park, in Calderglen Country Park, the proposed new-build will sit alongside the present pavilion, spectator stand and the outdoor pitches.
The standalone development will house a single-storey boxing gym, with the adjoining sports hall meeting the requirements set out by SportsScotland for indoor ball sports, including netball, volleyball and basketball.
If approved, new jobs are on the agenda for the town, with three staff required in addition to the four workers already employed at K-Park.
Chief executive of EKCT, Monique McAdams, said: "We already have hundreds of children participating in our K-Park soccer school, during term-time and holidays, and are closely involved in Police Scotland's award-winning Move the Goalposts initiative to combat antisocial behaviour.
Among those who would benefit from the proposed new facilities are the hundreds of young people who meet at the sports complex in the grounds of the charity's founder and trustee, James Kean's home.
For almost eight years, the East Kilbride businessman has opened his home to allow children to attend supervised karate, boxing and football sessions, free of charge.
East Kilbride Football Club's Sunday Club for children with additional support needs also enjoy the indoor sports facilities at Mr Kean's home.
"Our proposed new facilities at K-Park would allow all of these young people to benefit from the state-of-the-art facilities K-Park already boasts and provide access to our fully-trained coaching team.

Whether it's something as simple as jumping over the baseline when jogging onto the field or a complex series of dugout routines, baseball players -- especially college players -- have a reputation for antics. Look into any dugout in extra innings, and you're likely to find some sort of good-luck effort underway. NCAA.com asked the College World Series field of eight about their superstitions, traditions and rituals, and we got some interesting answers.
"It's month to month -- Can we not shave this month, they're always hitting me with stuff. They're always pushing it … We have rules that you're supposed to shave at least before the series starts, but they came to me and said, 'Coach, can we let it go?' And I said, I'll tell you, as long as you play good, you can do whatever."
"I'm hyping this up, but we can't say anything because it's a secret, some people on the team don't even know that we've done it. I'll say that James Teague and Jackson Lowry started doing some superstitions in Memphis, and that's kind of where things turned around for us."
"Once regionals started, everyone wasn't clean-shaven, everyone decided just do something at this point to be superstitious because we've been playing pretty well. Everyone's just rocking it to have a little fun."
I don't think Joe McCarthy's showered in the past three weeks -- no, I'm just kidding. He had a problem last year in Omaha. When we were here last year, he ate lunch at that dugout place and got the same food and ordered the dessert from room service every night."
Superstitions are definitely something I tried to stay away from this year, just because last year, this time in Omaha, things were getting really crazy. Everything was exactly the same as the day before, so I think we're trying to stay away from that this year."
Virginia's Joe McCarthy (left) and Kenny Towns.
"We're pretty basic. I mean, we like to goof around a little bit, we like to have our fun in the locker room, but as soon as game time hits everybody is locked in, focused. That's one thing I've noticed this year, that I've never really been on a team like that before. … Once the SEC tournament hit, it was all business."
"It started against Vanderbilt, and that was a really good weekend for us, so I just kept it. A lot of guys kept their beards, it's a team joke, I guess."
"I am very superstitious, if something works, I'll just continue to do it. … In the dugout, when I'm pitching, I stand in the same place. I try to find the same spot.
"I'm the quarterback, and I'm not a very good quarterback, and they've been wanting to change it up but we've been winning so we can't change it up."
"We have a coach, actually. Ricky Eusebio, our center fielder, is the coach. He sits on the sideline and calls the play."
"The further you get in the postseason, the more tradtions you start to get -- waking up at the same time, everything that day leading up to the game the same exact way … we have too much time to think about it, really."
"I think I had more pressure on me with the hats [than I did on the mound] … actually having all those hats on your head is a lot heavier than you think. Especially since the guys have to meticulously stack it, my chin was going down because I couldn't keep it up. … That's for special circumstances, when everything else we're trying isn't working."
The cups on top of the cooler -- I'll count them before I take it, because I'm not going to take the sixth or 13th one. I have a voodoo doll in my locker back home. … It's kind of a joke, but at the same time, I'm like let me throw that thing back in there."
We were actually at Mississippi State … he got a table stand with a number on it, and it was 13. He said listen, I can't take this number. She was like you play for Vanderbilt? He's like yeah, and she says sorry, we can't give it to you. He takes it, sits down at his table, we eat, and that night we lost 17-2. So you know what? I believe it with Dansby."
"One big one is cleaning my cleats. Before we practice, before a game, or every time I try to put them on, I try to make sure that every piece of dirt is off of them."
"We've been wearing Hawaiian shirts every time we travel. We got this little jukebox on the bus we use to try to loosen ourselves up … sometimes it's country, sometimes it's hip-hop, sometimes it's oldies. It all depends on what mood we're in."
"They have a lot of weird stuff. I don't even know what it is. They're down right now playing music and singing. It took them a while to come up with stuff, but they came up with stuff."
"That was a theory, and it's worked out so far. We weren't very good on the road, but we swept Hawaii, and that was our last road series, so we were like let's wearing Hawaiian shirts. Our assistant coach brought it up, and we did it, and we kept on doing it until we got here."


Just before midnight on May 30th, 2011, Group 4 responded to a building fire at 36 Rush Street in East Somerville. First arriving companies were met with heavy fire conditions. The fire took full possession of the top floor forcing companies back. The fire was under control in just over an hour.


Students gather for an assembly on Jan. 31.
In place of the annual Fall Recognition Assembly, the SPA administration has decided to announce student achievements before senior speeches.
The change took place on Jan. 18, the first senior speech assembly of the new year. Principal Max Delgado elaborates on the decision.
"It's not that the old fall recognition model didn't work, but rather that we were interested in exploring a model that integrated student recognition into the flow of regular assemblies as opposed to compartmentalizing them into a separate event. Ideally, celebrating success is part of the regular flow of assemblies — we see this as an extended version of what Spartan Boosters has done in the past, for instance," Delgado said.
In years past, there has been some dissent among students towards the lengthiness of the assemblies and lack of recognition for all. Academic Dean Tom Anderson addresses that here.
"It was a way of recognizing that for some kids, it felt like it was just a big, long slog of other kids getting recognized and not getting recognized themselves. We thought that it might keep people's attention and focus on the achievements that kids are being honored for if we did it in shorter, digestible chunks," Anderson said.
Faculty members who wish to announce student achievements speak briefly at the beginning of assemblies for the department they manage. For example, Fine Arts Department Chair Daryn Lowman recognizes students for their artistic achievements and competitions they have won, such as the Scholastic Art Awards.
As the school moves forward through the semester, more awards will be slowly announced.
The current format shows promise, and Delgado hopes to continue it into future years.
"We feel good about the model, and while the spring recognition may look like the old model, we will likely shift towards this model for the 2019-2020 school year given the positive feedback we've received," he said.


It is often the case that you will need to pursue your personal injury claims in court. In some cases, insurance companies will cover all your expenses or the responsible party will pay a settlement, but you will need a good lawyer regardless of what happens. This article will assist you in preparation.
Detail the injuries you suffered clearly. Be sure to note cuts, scrapes, bruises, broken bones and so on. In addition, if any bumps and bruises pop up in the future, write them down as well.

If you don't, you may end up wasting money and struggling forward with an incompetent attorney.
When trying to figure out which lawyer to hire for your personal injury case, meet with numerous lawyers prior to picking one. Most lawyers will meet with you for free so you can present your situation. During these meetings, you can ask about fees and any other expenses you can expect to encounter.
Do not forget the importance of documenting your case, as it could mean a great deal in the long run. Images can mean everything. If you are in a position where you are unable to do this, you should ask someone that you trust to do so for you. Do this soon after you are injured so they will be accurate.
If you are going to hire a lawyer, make sure you get a retainer agreement in place first. This ensures you aren't surprised by their fees later. In this agreement, work out a payment plan and procedures to end representation if the attorney does not work out.
When you hire a lawyer, the proceedings may take up to a year to complete. It can be a long process, and you'll need to have some patience. Actually, it may take several years to get all the way through your case. This is especially true in larger cities. Remember this at all times, and your frustration may be decreased.

Finding a great lawyer to assist with your personal injury needs can be difficult. You should find someone experienced with cases involving personal injury. Winning personal injury cases take skill and experience, so look for the best.
A personal injury lawyer is your only logical choice. While it may sound simple, many people believe that any one with a license will work out equally as well. You want someone who has experience doing the type of case you're getting into. By failing to have an attorney experienced to handle this type of law, you are going to be at a major disadvantage.
Do not move your automobile unless you are told to do so by an officer. If you move your vehicle before an officer gets on premises, the other party may not be liable for any damages to your vehicle. This isn't the case in a busy street, however.

The majority of companies are protected from personal injury lawsuits by their employees because they have insurance for them. If you find yourself injured while working at your job, it is crucial to hire a lawyer as soon as possible to help you. Phone calls from your employer should go straight to your attorney.

If you have legal problems, you must address them head on. No matter what kind of case it is, you need a person on your side that can handle the process. This article will show you how to make your situation less frustrating.
Don't just hire the first attorney you talk to. Do some research since choosing the wrong one can end badly. Ask others, and find out the things you want to know about lawyers.
Ask lawyers for their history before you hire them. A licensed lawyer does not guarantee that he or she is a good one. Learn about their record so that you're confident that they can accomplish the job properly.
You should always speak with your friends and family before researching your options alone. Family, friends, and even neighbors may have some great suggestions for you. This will significantly benefit you and reduce the amount of work you have to put into researching on your own.
Make sure you are comfortable with your lawyer. Good lawyers are wise when it comes to the law but are also skilled with people. If the lawyers don't do this, look for a new one immediately.
Many lawyers are too busy with other cases to give your case the time it needs. To make sure your attorney has time to properly handle your case ask them up front. Lawyers are generally honest about whether they have time to properly try your case.
Look at how friendly the staff is in the prospective lawyer's office. See if they return your calls promptly and if they are pleasant when doing so. If the lawyer's office does not return calls in a reasonable amount of time, you may want to find another attorney.
Lawyers can't work miracles. Lawyers who claim they will certainly prevail in your matter should be treated with skepticism. You can never be 100 percent certain how a case is going to go, so if a lawyer guarantees you a win, be suspicious.
Talk to your attorney about which tasks you can reasonable assume to reduce your expenses. You might help with paperwork. If the courthouse requires documents, see if they can get them personally so that the law office staff doesn't need to get paid to do it.
Research as much as possible before making a claim for Worker's Compensation. Each state's laws regarding timelines and evidence differ. Worker's Compensation claims are unlike others and need to be regarded that way. There are different standards to adhere to.
You will be hard-pressed to find good legal representation if you are suing for the wrong reasons. Putting a dollar amount on a suit will do nothing more than label you as a nuisance who will never be satisfied. If you are suing, make sure you are doing it for monetary rewards and the principle can be used as a bonus.
When looking for a lawyer, you may not know what to look for. If you get a lawyer that isn't that great, you may become frustrated. In this article, we will discuss the qualities you should seek in the best lawyers.
You should never just choose the first attorney that you meet. You want to do your homework when picking a lawyer. This is important and you need to take it seriously. Talk to others for their advice.
Before you sign up for a lawyer's services, find out about his or her past. Having a practice does not make them a good lawyer. Be sure that you go over his past carefully so that you're able to determine how well he does his job.
If you have been accused in a major crime, you need to find a lawyer immediately. Be sure not to take matters into your own hands because it can create a situation that raises the possibility of you breaking the law. An experienced lawyer will be able to handle your situation appropriately.
Get a fee list from every lawyer you interview. The fees will vary depending on a lawyer's background, and it is smart to be aware of what you are going to pay before you retain him. Severing ties with your lawyer mid-trial can have disastrous effects on the outcome of your case.
One thing to consider when you think about hiring lawyers is that you're able to reach them whenever you need to. A common complaint among people is that their lawyer is hard to reach. You don't want to be left pondering the what if's just because your lawyer is out golfing.
Never go with the first lawyer you see in the phone book when you need one. This is one choice you need to get right. The lawyer I hired, who was recommended by my personal real estate broker when I bough my first house, got her license revoked for malpractice! Therefore, you need to be cautious.
Try your best to avoid a large retainer. Make sure they'll refund any money not used. You may also want to shop around for lawyers who will take a smaller retainer, then charge you any extra.
Prior to hiring your lawyer, you should get in touch with your area's bar association in order to find out if he or she has any filed complaints from others. If there are complaints, you will want to know about them beforehand. A few complaints is the norm; however, give a wide berth to those who have numerous ones.
When seeking an attorney, make sure they practice the kind of law that pertains to your case. There are many types of law, so you will want to be wary of this. Figuring this out beforehand is going to allow you to save your time so that you don't have to make a bunch of calls later.
If you are similar to most people, your legal experience is minor. At some time, however, you may need the services of a lawyer, and knowing how to find one can be difficult. This article can help with that.
Hire a lawyer that is accessible. Some lawyers are hard to get ahold of. You aren't going to want to be worrying about your case while your attorney is having fun on a week long golfing vacation.
If you are involved in a legal matter concerning real estate, whether you rent or own, you should hire a lawyer who specializes in real estate. This helps the success of your case immensely.
Don't accept the very first lawyer in the phone book. Research several lawyers and interview them to see who would best meet your needs. You may even find that you've hired a lawyer without a valid license or one who has been sued for malpractice. Don't make a haphazard mistake that's easily avoided.
Do not hesitate to ask questions to your lawyer. Great lawyers will thoroughly explain all the details and update you along the way. If your lawyer keeps you in the dark and won't explain how your case is going, it might be time to drop him like a bad habit.
If you are not completely comfortable with your attorney, keep looking. This also goes for their fee structure. Don't sign blank checks for retainers. Ask for estimates directly to control the costs before they get out of hand during the case.
Beware of giving a lawyer a big retainer for taking you on. Make sure that you are going to be refunded for any money that isn't used if you do put up a retainer. In addition, you should do your research. Lots of lawyers will accept small retainers, and if there is a difference, you will be appropriately charged for it.
Be clear about your budget. Perhaps you are completely right, but can you afford to prove it? Always request a written estimate of costs, fees and hourly rates. Discuss your budget and your expectations before signing an agreement. Know that cost overruns may happen.
Yes you can find local lawyers using online services, but don't think that this means these lawyers are well vetted. Background research will also be required before you hire any particular lawyer.
Bring paperwork and other documentation to your initial meeting with potential lawyers. The attorney can give you a good sense of your likely bill if he understands the full scope of the case. Being efficient when dealing with lawyers can save you quite a bit.
You need to have a smooth working relationship with your attorney, so it's important that you get along well. Do not expect to develop a good relationship if your lawyer does not really make you feel comfortable. Find a lawyer you get along with well so things go smoothly.


Susan Rodgers - Oct 2014 Just a quick thank you for taking such good care of Puss whilst I was away. I've never used a cattery before and was very impressed with how professional and friendly you both were. I have already recommended you to friends and will definitely not hesitate to use you again. Kind regards Susan Rodgers.
Victor - March 2015 A big thank you to Steve and Gail for looking after our little Crixus. He definitely enjoyed his stay there and I'm sure he was well looked after. So much so that I suspect he doesn't want to leave!
We've used Cuddles twice and will definitely be using them again. The cattery itself is modern, cosy and very clean but I think it's the personal touch from Steve and Gail that is the cherry on top!
The Glovers - April 2015 Just want to say thank you for looking after Stella over the holidays. From dropping Stella off it completely reassured us that Stella would be looked after and that she would settle in straight away after watching her explore her new home for the week. The text message update whilst we were away was a lovely touch as well as the thank you card, Stella returned home with.
Sam - May 2015 I would recommend cuddles cattery to anybody. I found the owners Steve and Gail very friendly and helpful, but most importantly they had a great love for cats. My cat Mia had a wonderful time and was looked after very well. I felt reassured and happy when I left her to go on holiday. The cattery was very clean and kept to a high standard. I would defiantly use cuddles cattery the next time I go away. I would like to thank you both for your kindness and loving care.
David Lee - May 2015 First time that we had used a cattery, so needless to say we were a bit nervous. We decided after much research online that Cuddles Cattery would be best for Felix. This was based on the many positive reviews that we read, Gail and Steve's emails answering our queries and their website.We took Felix to Cuddles Cattery and met Steve and Gail on the day we had to drop Felix off. We met Steve who was so friendly, funny and down to earth. He showed us Felix's room, filled in details like contact details, Felix's vet etc. all the while letting Felix roam around and chatting to us throughout. We got to see the other cats in their habitat, all looking relaxed. We knew then and there that we made the right choice and had nothing to worry about. Steve even gave us their contact details, just in case we needed to get in touch about Felix.Whilst on holiday we got a few email updates about Felix, like when he came out of his room to roam. This is just one of the great touches that Cuddles Cattery offers.
David & Melanie - May 2015 I just wanted to say a huge thank you again for looking after Coop and Gizmo and especially for the beautiful card and photographs - we were both totally stunned to get them and it made us so happy! It was a really lovely personal touch and we really appreciated it - think it's important you know what a lovely gesture that was and to really pat yourselves on the back for doing such a good job!
Janet, Amy & Libby - Dec 2015 "A big thank you to Gail & Steve for looking after Libby whilst we were away. It was our first time leaving her in a cattery, it was modern, bright and spotless, the rooms look liked little nurseries. From dropping Libby off we were completely reassured that she would be well looked after and will certainly book her in again when we go away. We would definitely recommend Cuddles Cattery to our friends."
Paula - Jan 2016 Thank you Gail and Steve for taking great care of Teddy. Such a friendly Cattery and so clean too. Highly recommend and I will be using again when I need to. Teddy has come home happy from his experience with Gail and Steve.
Amir - Feb 2016 Like anybody with a couple of cats and a penchant for going out and about, it's sometimes difficult to tear yourself away from said kitties. Most of the time we're able to keep any trip short, or get friends and family to pop in, but when we had the holiday of a lifetime planned, it was just as important to know that the cats would be left in as comfortable surroundings as possible. They're nervous little beggars most of the time and finding a cattery felt like something of a lottery, luckily we were recommended Cuddles Cattery by close friends and any apprehension we had about leaving the kitties for 2 weeks evaporated during their stay. The cattery is situated in a purpose built unit at the bottom of a stepped back garden of a normal house in Failsworth, it took a little bit of slow driving around the estate to pick out the house as there's no signage to inform you. Knocking on the door we were met by the business owners and led down the garden to the small, spotlessly clean and tidy cattery with around half a dozen rooms for cats, each room could easily host 2 or 3 cats at a time, and a little radio playing in the background to keep cats company when there's nobody in the vicinity. The cattery has all manner of alarms and cctv to keep the kitties safe and allows the owners to keep an eye on the cats so they can attend to any needs. During the cats stay we were able to find out how they were getting on regularly, our friend emailing (constantly) to alleviate any worries, we even received photos of the cats through the post a few weeks later! Our cats are nervous around strangers so we were understandably a little worried, the owners tried to keep them company, i'm not sure how receptive they were to it, but the effort was appreciated. If you're looking for a cattery I can't recommend Cuddles highly enough, it seems they're very popular too, booking up months ahead so plan early!
Paul Gibbard - May 2016 Thank you Gail and Steve for taking great care of Teddy. Such a friendly Cattery and so clean too. Highly recommend and I will be using again when I need to. Teddy has come home happy from his experience with Gail and Steve.
Barbara Sept 2016 A haven for cats. The owners show true caring and affection for all in their care. Very professionally run with attention to the finer details which make you know that your cat is in a safe, happy, friendly and spotlessly clean environment. A true gem of a place which will become a firm favourite as a holiday home for my cat 'Hobo'.
Roma - March 2017 Amazing! They take such good care of the kittys! Our Archie stayed with them for 5 days and came home looking happy & healthy. Rooms are spacious & everything is provided from food to beds and toys. I'm sure our 6 months kitten got plenty of cuddles & play time. The cattery looks well looked after with all the facilities and lovely owners!
Linda H - April 2017 Fantastic accommodation for the kitties and Gail and Steve are as caring as the owners are. You can't ask for better.
Emily - April 2017 We were really nervous about leaving our Syrup at a cattery whilst we went away. It was going to be his first time, and we've only had him 9 months since we picked him up as a rescue. We arranged to meet Steve and Gail to talk about our requirements and what they could offer and we soon realised it wasn't a cattery as much as a home from home for Syrup. The accomodation is prefect, very clean and very secure. They provided everything he would need for his stay, were patient with us and the tears as we dropped him off, sent us regular info with how he was getting on. Thank you for setting our minds at ease. Would have no issues recommending for any other cat lovers.
Timea - May 2017 This is the best cattery in the area. Lovely, spacious rooms, clean and tidy. Our little one, Maximo was enjoying his one week stay there. They provide everything, food, toys and bed. Even sent me some pictures to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend this place!
Kirsty - May 2017 My partner and I would highly recommend Cuddles Cattery. We were very nervous to leave our cat Blossom for the first time but speaking with Steve and Gail really put our minds at ease. All our questions were answered on the phone and we were invited to visit the cattery beforehand and we were really impressed. We received photos and updates throughout our holiday and it was clear to see Blossom had a fantastic stay and settled in really quickly.

Why Green Thumb Industries, Curaleaf, and Cresco Labs Plunged Today
Billy Duberstein, The Motley Fool
December 6, 2022, 2:50 p.m. ·3 min read
Shares of leading U.S. multistate cannabis operators Green Thumb Industries (OTC: GTBIF), Curaleaf (OTC: CURLF), and Cresco Labs (OTC: CRLBF) all plunged on Tuesday, trading down by about 13%, 11.4%, and 12%, respectively, as of 2 p.m. ET. In recent weeks, there was a lot of optimism that the SAFE Banking Act's provisions -- which would indemnify national banks from liability in working with cannabis companies in states that have legalized the drug -- might pass Congress during its December session. Recently, it appeared as though there was momentum behind efforts to attach those provisions to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that Congress is working on now.

No, enough is enough. There is no point in having these in the Volume dialog since there is no need to switch them often.

But, western medicine can not cure chronic nephritis, so patients will develop into Uremia Stage in finally. Lots of patients consult ONLINE DOCTOR that can it be cured with chinese herbal medicine. Following this article to get the answer.
Creatinine 3.6 means that there are lots of toxins and excess wastes in body, the kidney cells are in three conditions including, healthy cells, diseased cells, dead cells. No treatment can repair dead cells and tissues, so chronic nephritis can not be cured. But, Chinese herbal medicines can repair diseased cells and tissues for improving kidney functions. So it can control kidney disease well to avoid dialysis, if your illness conditions can be controlled well, so you can have a high quality life in all life.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is an external application with two medicated bags, two medicated bags fulfill with various of chinese herbal medicines, chinese herbal medicines used in the treatments that depends on your illness conditions, so all the complications can be relieved in 10-15 days. What is more, chinese herbal medicines can achieve to expend blood vessels, improve blood circulations, promote the metabolism, anti inflammation, anti coagulation, degradation. Active ingredients can arrive at kidney lesions to supply enough nutrients and oxygen for repairing diseased cells and tissues, so it can help repair diseased cells and tissues for improving kidney functions.
Although there is no one treatment can cure chronic nephritis, we should take right treatments to improve kidney functions for avoiding dialysis, so we can live in a normal life successfully.
If you want to treat chronic nephritis well, please leave a message below or send the medical reports to us. We will try our best to help you.

Major expansion of Arborland shopping center proposed in Ann Arbor
Published: Feb. 13, 2018, 4:57 p.m.
Ryan Stanton | ryanstanton@mlive.com
ANN ARBOR, MI - Plans are in the works for a major expansion of the Arborland shopping center off Washtenaw Avenue, with new shops envisioned on a 48-acre vacant site behind the strip mall.
The Ann Arbor Planning Commission is meeting Tuesday night, Feb. 13, for a special work session to discuss Brixmor Property Group's conceptual plans for 257,000 square feet of single-story retail on the site of the previously approved South Pond Village subdivision.
The retail concept marks a significant change in direction for the site where the City Council in September 2016 approved plans for a 73-home subdivision that hasn't been built. Troy-based Fairview Companies was behind the $25 million residential subdivision project that was controversial and approved in a 7-4 vote.
Brixmor, which purchased the 404,000-square-foot Arborland mall for $102 million last year, is now laying out a vision for a completely different development that would include removal of a portion of the existing square footage in the Arborland shopping center to provide access to the newly proposed retail spaces.
Conceptual plans dated Feb. 6 show extensive surface parking and secondary access via Huron River Drive. The address of the property is 3850 E. Huron River Drive.
The plans show there would be a new drive created through the area where the Marshalls store building now stands, cutting between the DSW designer shoe warehouse and Toys R Us. Other existing Arborland stores and buildings would remain standing.
The plans show seven new retail spaces, including a large building measuring 113,000 square feet, and two smaller buildings measuring 8,000 square feet each. Four other retail spaces would be clustered together along a single strip, with spaces measuring 20,000, 28,000, 30,000 and 50,000 square feet.
Wetlands and stormwater management areas are shown on the north portion of the site, with a winding driveway from Huron River Drive hugging U.S. 23 much of the way to the new shopping areas.
Another access drive is shown extending from Woodcreek Boulevard off Chalmers Drive.
At this point, there aren't any details about potential retail tenants or any other information about the project.
"We have just started a dialogue with the city exploring potential opportunities to further invest in the Ann Arbor community," said Kristen Moore, a spokeswoman for Brixmor.
The Planning Commission's meeting materials indicate Brixmor requested the discussion taking place Tuesday night.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. inside city hall, 301 E. Huron St., and is open to the public. There's one other item on the agenda: a discussion of how traffic reviews occur and the data that is evaluated.
No action is taken at work sessions. The development, if it is to proceed, will need to go through the city's site plan approval process, including city staff review and public hearings at the Planning Commission and City Council before final approval.
City records show the 48-acre property at 3850 E. Huron River Dr. sold for $3.3 million in December 2016 to an entity called Manchester Ann Arbor LLC, which has an address in Shelby Township.

As an owner of a car, I discover me becoming informed on the area of interest of vehicle wires. Since I am nearly the final individual that should really be playing with everything that has electro-mechanical up-to-date operating by it, I found myself reluctant to make an attempt to undertake the dilemma of vehicle wires.
Nonetheless my vehicle determined otherwise when it did start to randomly select electro-mechanical solutions that it planned to me tamper with. When the electric powered seating belts did start to slide rear and forth while not good reason as I drove downward the freeway, I made a decision I greater understand how to tamper with the electric powered solutions, considering the exuberant price of vehicle repair.
I found myself personally with a selection either to, breakdown and commit $100 an hour or so for a so-known as expert to look at it and make an effort to maintenance it, or I was able to learn how the electro-mechanical technique of my car worked well. Considering my levels of ignorance I most likely would make an effort to defeat the extremely hard. Of course the only issue I understood about electro-mechanical programs is that AC/DC was a rock and roll strap and that beginners and wires normally failed to go along.
On the other hand despite my reluctance, I lay out to learn things i could about vehicle wires. I speedily learned that there is a massive give of details located on the topic of vehicle wires. A quick search on Google and yahoo given me by having an range of details. There are various ranges of web sites supplying details.
Some web sites given a essential overview of the regular electro-mechanical technique of most cars. A company given its name Long Tropical isle Customs available some terrific essential details. They reported that the details was basically for a essential understanding and not for a precise clarification of selected models. Nonetheless they actually give some thorough facts about essential programs this kind of as AC and lighting effects. Furthermore they give some terrific issues snapping shots details.

The Sparta Kiwanis reached their 70th year milestone in December.
The year was 1947; Harry Truman was president, Jackie Robinson made history, Meet the Press was aired, and Sparta was a sleepy rural township of 3000 when a special group of civic-minded citizens pledged service to their community and the Sparta Kiwanis was born.
The Kiwanians are celebrating seven decades of uninterrupted service to their growing community. And they have much to feel good about. Since the inception of the college scholarship program in 1982, they have awarded almost half a million dollars in tuition assistance to worthy graduates of our local high schools. Their monthly food drives at the Stop and Shop netted the yearly total of 136 carts of foodstuffs and $13,000 in cash for the Ecumenical Food Pantry at the Presbyterian Church on Main Street. And for the last 25 years Kiwanians have been the elves ringing Holiday Bells for the Salvation Army.
Their programs are not limited to fund-raising events. The Kiwanis displays their social side as well. Sponsoring picnics for senior citizens at Knoll heights, the annual family picnic at Station Park, the famous Duck Races all contribute to community fun. Planting the flowers annually at the library, monthly cleaning up the Blue Heron Road approaches to Sparta and assisting with the restoration of Sparta Glen are all ecological concerns within the purview of the Sparta Kiwanis.
On their anniversary the Kiwanis is looking forward to continuing its many programs and finding new initiatives to continue the vision of the founders of seventy years ago. The Sparta Kiwanis meets every Thursday at 7P.M. at Homer's Restaurant on the Newton-Sparta Road. Come meet them. All are welcome. All are needed and our Sparta is worth it. For information you are invited to call Stu at 973 459-0194.

Characterizing the 'arrow of time' in open quantum systems
By Talia Ogliore July 9, 2019
Narration and animation by Kater Murch, associate professor of physics in Arts & Sciences.
Even in the strange world of open quantum systems, the arrow of time points steadily forward — most of the time. New experiments conducted at Washington University in St. Louis compare the forward and reverse trajectories of superconducting circuits called qubits, and find that they follow the second law of thermodynamics. The research is published July 9 in the journal Physical Review Letters.
Murch
"When you look at a quantum system, the act of measuring usually changes the way it behaves," said Kater Murch, associate professor of physics in Arts & Sciences. "Imagine shining light on a small particle. The photons end up pushing it around and there is a dynamic associated with the measurement process alone.
"We wanted to find out if these dynamics have anything to do with the arrow of time — the fact that entropy tends to increase as time goes on."
In the video above, Murch asks, "Do quantum movies look funny when you play them backwards?" He and his team, including Patrick Harrington, a graduate student in physics and first author of the paper, took that question to the lab — where their work is part of the new Center for Quantum Sensors.
"We looked at microscopic movies of a quantum system's movement during measurement, and asked if the movies looked more likely when played forward or backwards; this comparison can be used to determine if entropy increases or not," Murch said. "We found that even at the microscopic scale, the second law seems to hold: entropy generally increases.
"This increase happens because we look at it — the process of making the movie seemingly creates the arrow of time," he said.
Murch's research group is focused on understanding and controlling open quantum systems. While everyday objects obey the laws of classical mechanics, single particles of light or matter follow instead the laws of quantum physics. But these particles are not easily isolated, and as soon as they interact with the outside world they lose their quantum properties.
Murch is the 2018 recipient of a Cottrell Scholar Award and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. The new research work featured in this video and publication is funded in part by his 2015 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.

Q: MongoDB injection in PHP and HTML I am looking at using MongoDB with CodeIgniter, however my concern is how data is inserted into the database, most examples take the post values directly into a collection which is a dream because it removes an extract step... however a user could easily inject/overwrite values going into the database, compared to SQL where you would map one-one fields in the database, there appears to be no examples of how one would avoid this type of data injection...
Potentially I see two problems, namely additional values being injected and fields containing incorrect datatypes, ie: a name containing an array or object.
Is the solution to build model classes to map my POST data to along with datatypes or is there an easier method?
EXAMPLE:
MongoDB and CodeIgniter

A: Looking around I guess the only solution would be to map it into a local array or model class.
An example from: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.tutorial.php
would be more like:
$post = $this->input->post();
$document = array( "title" => (string)$post['title'], "online" => (bool)$post['online']);
$collection->insert($document);

What does everyone think?

A: CodeIgniter has full active record abilities to help you deal with validation and sanitation of data: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/database/active_record.html
However you can also use something like Doctrine 2: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/en/2.0.x/cookbook/integrating-with-codeigniter.html to sovle this which has a fully fitted MongoDB verfsion of itelf.

The Taliban Are Winning the War of Words in Afghanistan
June 21, 2021 June 22, 2021 by Lynne O'Donnell
The government's radio silence is handing a propaganda victory to the insurgents.

KABUL—As Afghanistan's armed forces cede and regain ground in the searing summer offensive against the Taliban, they are losing a propaganda war that is affecting the morale of a fearful population waiting for reassurance that the insurgents won't overrun their country.
Over the weekend, Taliban militiamen stormed districts in the north of the country, furthering the widespread perception that the insurgents are winning against a government that lacks strategy and leadership. Since May 1, the Taliban have stormed 60 districts, with active fighting now going on in some 64 percent of Afghanistan's territory, according to the Institute of War and Peace Studies, though eight districts have been retaken by Afghan forces. Security sources said that Afghan forces often retreat in order to save civilian lives.
The Taliban onslaught, coupled with the looming withdrawal by Sept. 11 of the remaining U.S. troops, is escalating concerns that Afghan government forces may not be able to prevent Taliban battlefield gains without the presence of international forces. Close air support, in particular, has given ground forces the edge over their enemy but could be significantly curtailed with the withdrawal of U.S. troops and private contractors who work with the Afghan Air Force.
The Taliban—much more adept at the use of media platforms than the Kabul government or its supporters in the international community—often post videos on social media of their militants raising flags in the central squares of districts where the Afghan forces have either been vanquished or forced into retreat.
Some Afghan officials counter that the perception of the Taliban's victories is due to faulty reporting.
"If we were looking at a breakdown of the war, it is 75 percent narrative and 25 percent actual conflict," a senior Afghan security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Their narrative is 'we have defeated the superpower,' and that is attractive to some young people."
"This is what exactly it is. A perception. A false perception. Helped by 'journalists' who are either not in Afghanistan or are blind to the truths of war and how many districts have been retaken. Ethics in journalism are important," Col. Naweed Kawusi, the Ministry of Interior's police support director, wrote on Twitter in response to a U.S. newspaper report.
While the Taliban trumpet their advances, there is little substantive response from the Afghan government—which lacks a clear communications strategy—or the U.S.-led international forces. The NATO Resolute Support Mission in Kabul declines to respond to requests for information. The U.S. Department of Defense has referred queries back to Kabul. The British Ministry of Defence and the British Army, as well as other NATO partners, have also failed to respond to questions.
Afghan Air Force Could Be Grounded After U.S. Pullout
The one advantage the Afghan army had on the Taliban looks set to slip away with the hasty U.S. withdrawal.

Taliban Map Out Future Vision for Afghanistan
The militant group's spokesman vows to "continue our war" until Afghanistan has an Islamic government.
Q&A |
Afghanistan's ministries of defense and interior are also silent, under advice, according to sources, from the international military. While some officials will speak to journalists on the condition of anonymity, the Taliban have effectively seized the high ground in claiming victory over the government.
"There is a flood of the negative narrative. But it is not a government narrative versus a Taliban narrative," the senior security official said. "It is a narrative being propagated by international media. Their access to the ground is limited, the people they talk with is limited, they don't really understand how things really are, they have to rely on a lot of the information they see in the public space, and not all of it is correct."
"The Taliban put out pictures, images, and videos that are not always reflective of the reality. The assumption outside is that this is it," he said.
At the same time, even as the battlefield heats up and more territory falls to the Taliban, government reshuffles are slowing a coherent response. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani just replaced, again, the ministers of defense and interior, a move that brings changes in key senior positions as each newcomer seeks to build his own team.
If government officials are frustrated with that narrative of Taliban victory, that's because the insurgents rarely hold districts for long, have yet to take control of provinces or provincial capitals, and don't provide government services in areas they do control.
Still, the Taliban are on the march. A fierce late spring-early summer offensive in Helmand and Kandahar provinces coincided with the poppy crop harvest, which earns the Taliban hundreds of millions of dollars a year and seasonally provokes fighting in the country's opium belt. On Sunday, the government moved reinforcements to northern Faryab province, where the insurgents were rolling over districts on the outskirts of the provincial capital, Maymana. That followed the deaths last week of at least 23 Afghan special forces commandos fighting a Taliban advance, including 31-year-old U.S.-trained Col. Sohrab Azimi, who was mourned across the country as a hero.
"They are not there to deliver governance, they can't and they are not good at it."
On the battlefield, the Taliban are pursuing a three-pronged strategy, said Tamim Asey, executive chairman of the Institute of War and Peace Studies. First, they test the resolve of Afghan forces by inviting defections and desertions. Second, they encircle and isolate big cities and population centers, including by attacking infrastructure like power pylons, bridges, and highways. Finally, they carry out targeted killings of government and military officials in those cities, he said.
"This is not the first time such an irregular warfare military strategy against a sitting Afghan government is pursued. The mujahideen of yesteryear almost pursued an identical military strategy against the last communist ruler of Afghanistan. Unfortunately, we see military history repeating itself here," he said.
Asey and other Afghan security sources said the violence could be expected to intensify in coming months, as the deadline of Sept. 11 nears, with a few provinces likely to fall into Taliban hands. That will likely hand the insurgents what a former government official called a further "morale boost," if not control of the country, as they seek to project strength when stalled peace negotiations with the government begin in earnest.
"They don't have the capacity to hold them even in the medium term. In the American Wild West, you'd have guys come into small towns, rob everyone—a campaign of terror," the former official said, speaking on condition he not be named. "The Taliban will do that. But they are not there to deliver governance, they can't and they are not good at it. It's a morale boost for their fighters."
