Have a Tesla over-the-air update disaster? Try these reboots.
December 27, 2019 Tim Dempsey
Christmas came early for Tesla owners with a "holiday" update that added new features and tools to the software system controlling the electric vehicles.
But with new features like more voice commands, TRAX music-making, Twitch video streaming, Camp Mode, and new games like Stardew Valley and backgammon comes the inevitable errant Tesla whose computer just won't update.

Tesla with its screen-based driving system is known for its quick and painless over-the-air updates. It's similar to downloading and installing a new operating system on a smartphone. While connected to your WiFi, the car downloads and updates to a new version in about 30 minutes, bringing a slew of new features and changes to the driving experience. But sometimes things get sticky. Read more…

Revenue train kept rolling all year long for Salesforce
Salesforce turned 20 this year, and the most successful pure enterprise SaaS company ever showed no signs of slowing down. Consider that the company finished the year on an $18 billion run rate, rushing toward its 2022 revenue goal of $20 billion. Oh, and it also spent a tidy $15.7 billion to buy Tableau this year in the most high-profile and expensive acquisition it's ever made.
Co-founder, chairman and CEO Marc Benioff published a book called Trailblazer about running a socially responsible company, and made the rounds promoting it. In fact, he even stopped by TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco in September, telling the audience that capitalism as we know it is dead. Still, the company announced it was building two more towers in Sydney and Dublin.
It also promoted Bret Taylor just last week, who could be in line as heir apparent to Benioff and co-CEO Keith Block whenever they decide to retire. The company closed the year with a bang with a $4.5 billion quarter. Salesforce, for the most part, has somehow been able to balance Benioff's vision of responsible capitalism while building a company makes money in bunches, one that continues to grow and flourish, and that's showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

How to Create Facebook Video Ads in Minutes: Tips For Beginners
Facebook video ads are an essential part of any business' social media toolkit. According to Wyzowl, people recall just 20% of the information they read compared to 80% when info is presented in more visual formats. This largely explains the rise of self-directed learning on Youtube.
We're at an age where every marketer knows videos are important. But not every marketer knows yet that videos are surprisingly easy to make. You might think good video content requires professional gear, complex software, and a big budget — but that's not the case.
It's true that making a video ad used to mean hiring a scriptwriter, director, actors, and camera crew — then paying for professional editing on top of that. But advances in technology have changed all that. There are now very simple and inexpensive ways you can do that.
Here how to create Facebook video ads in minutes:
Take advantage of stock footage and audio
One of the simplest ways to get great content is to use what others have already created. Using stock video footage allows you to include imagery in your video that would be difficult to film yourself.
Say you want a sweeping aerial shot of mountains in your video. Getting that shot yourself would be very difficult and expensive. But if someone else has already filmed it and made it available as stock footage, you can pay a small fee and use it in your own video ad. Most stock video libraries will allow you to search by keywords to quickly find what you're after.
You might be surprised to know that it's not the only deadline and budget-driven marketers who use stock media. Even major film studios use stock footage to save time and money.
You can blend stock footage with content you create yourself or even make your entire video from stock by editing various scenes together.
The same goes for stock audio and music. Getting the right to commercially-released music is very expensive and so is hiring a composer. But with stock music, you can add great background music to your video without paying too much.
Use ready-made templates
If you want to create videos very quickly, you can also try using a Facebook video ad template. Templates are helpful because they give you a general outline to fit your content into. These will usually come pre-loaded with stock video and audio, which you can keep or replace, as well as spaces to add your own text.
For example, you could use this travel ad template or this ready-made cafe ad and replace the stock footage provided with original content you've shot for your business.
You could also try a dedicated Facebook video ad maker. This will provide you with a simple drag-and-drop interface – just choose stock video and audio that work for your business then add your own text.
Edit your video online
If you are going to use your own video content, it's helpful to have some basic editing tools on hand. Access to a good editor is helpful because it means you don't need to nail everything in one take. You can quickly trim down scenes to get the timing right and edit together multiple takes.
There's plenty of complex and expensive editing software out there but all you need for simple Facebook video ads is a free online editor. With a good editor, you can put together a video and send it straight to your account from the editor.
It may take a little practice, but it's pretty easy to get the basic editing techniques for making your video content look great.
How to Create Facebook Video Ads That Work
It's one thing to put a video together but another to create effective content. Here are some tips on how to create Facebook video ads that work:
Ensure your videos are exported in the right file type and size to play easily on Facebook. Check out Facebook's guidelines for video ads, and always ensure your content is optimized for mobile devices as that's probably where it will be seen.
Keep your videos short – 15-60 seconds is a good general guide. It's hard enough to grab people's attention on social media; don't push your luck once you do.
Mention your brand early – ideally in the first 3 seconds – and make sure your logo or company name also appears on the screen visually, not just in the audio. More than 85% of Facebook users watch videos without sound!
Speaking of soundless videos, ensure your ad has subtitles and text so people can engage with it even if they don't turn on the sound. This is also a reason to include good music – if people do turn the sound on, they should be rewarded!
Your videos shouldn't look sloppy but you also don't want something overly polished. People aren't on social media looking for slick ads. So go for good, authentic content that adds value to people's scrolling experience and just happens to also boost your brand.
Get your video in front of the right people
Don't forget to target your ad when it's time to share it on Facebook. You can customize the audience for your ad according to location, age, gender, languages, interests, behaviors, and even connections.
Follow those guidelines and start putting video ads together and you'll start to see great results. Whether you're starting off with simple templates or editing a mini-masterpiece, online videos should be a key part of your online promotional strategy.

Wikimedia Foundation expresses deep concerns about India's proposed intermediary liability rules
Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit group that operates Wikipedia and a number of other projects, has urged the Indian government to rethink the proposed changes to the nation's intermediary liability rules that would affect swathes of companies and the way more than half a billion people access information online.
The organization has also urged the Indian government to make public the latest proposed changes to the intermediary rules so that all stakeholders have a chance to participate in a "robust and informed debate about how the internet should be governed in India."
India proposed changes to intermediary rules (PDF) in late December last year and it is expected to approve it in the coming months. Under the proposal, the Indian Ministry of Electronics and IT requires "intermediary" apps — which as per its definition, includes any service with more than 5 million users — to set up a local office and have a senior executive in the nation who can be held responsible for any legal issues.
Amanda Keton, general counsel of Wikimedia Foundation, said on Thursday that India's proposed changes to the intermediary rules may have serious impact on Wikipedia's business — as it operates an open editing model that relies on users to contribute new articles and make changes to existing articles on Wikipedia — as well as those of other organizations.
The rules may also create a "significant financial burden" for nonprofit technology organizations and impede free expression rights for internet users in India, she said. Wikimedia Foundation conveyed its concerns to Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Minister of Electronics and IT in India. The company also published the letter on its blog for the world to see.
India's latest changes to intermediary rules, which have been drafted to make the internet a safer experience for local residents, also require intermediaries to deploy automated tools "for proactively identifying and removing or disabling public access to unlawful information or content."
The proposed changes have raised concerns for many. In a joint letter (PDF) earlier this year, Mozilla, Microsoft's GitHub and Wikimedia had cautioned the Indian government that requiring intermediaries to proactively purge their platforms of unlawful content "would upend the careful balance set out in the existing law which places liability on the bad actors who engage in illegal activities, and only holds companies accountable when they know of such acts."
The groups also cautioned that drafted measures "would significantly expand surveillance requirements on internet services." Several trade bodies in India, that represent a number of major firms including Google and Facebook, have also suggested major changes to the proposal.
In the open letter published today, Wikimedia's Keton reiterated several of those concerns, adding that "neither participants in the consultation nor the public have seen a new draft of these rules since [last year]." She also requested the government to redefine, how it has in another recently proposed set of rules, the way it classifies an entity as an intermediary as the current version seems to have far-reaching scope.
India is the fifth largest market for Wikipedia — more than 771 million users from the country visited the online encyclopaedia last month. Wikimedia has run several programs in India to invite people to expand the online encyclopaedia in Indic languages.
Keton urged the government to rethink the requirement to bring "traceability" on online communication, as doing so would interfere with the ability of Wikipedia contributors to freely participate in the project. (On the point of traceability, WhatsApp has said complying to such requirement would compromise encryption for every user.)

A mixed-method exploration into the experiences of members of the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN)

Every year, people around the world become sick following the consumption of food containing dangerous bacteria, viruses, chemicals and other harmful contaminants. In an increasingly globalised world, unsafe food in one country can quickly travel beyond national borders, resulting in illness and death abroad. For this reason, the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) was established and has been conceptualised as a global community of practice that aims to limit the negative public health impact when contaminated food reaches the international market. This is mainly done by promoting the rapid exchange of information between contact points worldwide, enabling the swift implementation of control measures to protect the public and ensure the safety of the food supply. However, until now, INFOSAN has never been fully characterised or examined as a functional community of practice and its value, as understood from the perspective of its members, has never been determined in a systematic or rigorous way. To address this gap, this thesis presents a variety of data collected during three distinct study phases using quantitative and qualitative methods, to explore, understand, describe and interpret the experiences of INFOSAN members. Specifically, in phase one, website analytics were applied to examine members' access to, and use of, the INFOSAN Community Website. In phase two, an online survey was administered to the global membership to obtain broad, systematic insights into the characteristics and performance of INFOSAN as a community of practice, and the opinions of members. In phase three, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a small subset of INFOSAN members, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore their personal, lived experiences more deeply. To contextualise this research, a realist synthesis has been conducted to investigate the utilisation of tools such as INFOSAN to facilitate cross-border communication during international food safety events. The resulting programme theory provides a novel understanding of these communication tools, how they are being used, by whom and in what contexts. The programme theory will be helpful to policymakers and those coordinating the operation of tools currently in use, who may adapt their components according to different contextual factors to promote, support and improve their use. Overall, the research conducted provides insights into the characteristics and performance of INFOSAN and the opinions of members and their perceptions of the use of INFOSAN as a global communication tool for the prevention of foodborne illness. In addition, it provides a novel understanding of the role of INFOSAN in improving food safety and mitigating the burden of foodborne illness globally. Further, the results have been applied to develop a value creation framework, which suggests that focusing on outreach to sustain personal interest, training to improve technical capacity, and advocacy to obtain political buy-in are ways in which the INFOSAN Secretariat could enable participation and create value at the individual, organizational, and national level, respectively. Such engagement could translate into more effective international communication during urgent food safety events and fewer cases of foodborne illness worldwide. Looking beyond INFOSAN, the results have implications for how other international communities of practice are coordinated in the realm of food safety and public health more broadly.

Track Motto: "Building strong communities by working together with the leadership and maintaining positive attitudes".
These Officials did an excellent job of Officiating the 2013 NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships held at the Birmingham Crossplex!!!
We are proud to announce the Officials of the Year for the 2011-2012 Cross Country and Track and Field Seasons!
Whenever possible the long throws should be scheduled when there is adequate sunlight left for completion of the event before dusk. If a lighted field is being used it should be lighted adequately that all areas of the field are well lit and there are not any places on the field where an official might be blinded by the lights. Care should also be taken when the event is held in bright sunlight. Take notice of the position of the sun so that the Officials are aware and will not lose the implement in the sun.
In scheduling the event, adequate time for warm up should be scheduled so that the Officials do not feel the need to rush through the warm-up in order to meet a set schedule for the event that would compromise safety procedures. Extra time for safety is imperative.
In the hammer and javelin, events should be scheduled when the fewest number of other athletes are on the track or in the area.
The throwing field should be a level turf field that does not have holes or divots and is free from debris that could cause an Official to fall and be put in danger of being hit by an implement. All divots should be filled with sand immediately after each competition in order to prepare the field for the next competition. The time spent on this simple chore is important to the safety of the next event.
All throwing fields should be surrounded with adequate flagging or barriers to keep competitors, fans, photographers, coaches and other athletes out of the throwing sectors. Adequate signage should be used to warn these individuals of the dangers involved in being in the throwing area.
In all the long throws the circle/runway should be prepared for the warm-up. The circle/runway should be clean and free of debris: the circle/runway should be swept , and towels placed nearby (conspicuously) for the competitors to clean their feet in order not to carry debris into the circle/runway.
As always no warm-ups should be allowed until Officials are present at the venue.. Implements should be checked in well ahead of the start of competition and should not be available to the competitors then until the beginning of the warm-up period.
In the javelin, the picking warm ups should be done with one pick line, going in the same direction being controlled by two officials with red flags. All competitors should be in one straight line with an official on each end of the line with a red flag to control the progress of the pick line down the field. Every athlete should throw and then the entire line should be walked up to retrieve the implements. No one should be allowed to throw until all the athletes have retrieved their implements and are back in the straight line behind the officials who are posted at each end of the line. The procedure should be repeated with the Officials making the decision when it is safe to throw. The Officials should be cognizant of the remaining length of the field to keep these throws from going onto the track or into another event area. When picks are ongoing, the participants, officials and spectators should be aware that occasionally a javelin will not stick but slide.
In all the long throws the circle/runway should be prepared for the warm-up. The circle/runway should be clean and free of debris, the circle/runway should be swept , and towels placed outside the circle/runway for the competitors to clean their feet in order not to carry debris into the ring.
All Officials, competitors, and retrievers should exit the sector and wait outside the sector lines at a safe distance and with their eyes on the circle/runway at all times.
An official at the ring should then open the ring for warm-ups.
The athletes should enter the circle/runway one at a time and take a warm-up throw while leaving the implements in the sector until 5 throws have been made.
The official at the circle/runway should then enter the circle/runway with a red flag and close the circle/runway.
At this time, and only at this time , the retrievers and officials should enter the sector and retrieve the 5 implements. They should be safely returned to the circle/runway.
When the sector is cleared of all personnel then the Official at the runway/circle/runway should open the sector up for 5 more throwers to throw.
This procedure should be repeated until the warm-up is finished.
The competition should be conducted while only allowing the competitor who is up, on deck, or on hold to have an implement in their hands. Implements should be inspected to make after each throw by the retrievers to make sure no damage has been done to the implement that might make it unsafe. Damaged implements should be taken to the implement inspectors for repair, re-inspection, or possible impounding.
The head judge should control the athletes entering the circle/runway so that all involved are aware when the athlete is in the circle/runway ready to make their throw.
Officials will need to be in the sector but should be well back in order to let the implement land safely. try to note the distances being throw late in the warmups of the hammer and position yourself a good 20 meters to the side and rear of the projected impact site.
Everyone involved should have their eyes focused on the circle/runway when a competitor is in the ring and ready to make a throw. Never turn your back on a thrower or the circle/runway.
Sector officials should never walk or run backwards. If they have to move over one step backwards, they should turn around and run forward. This will minimize the chance of falling or tripping.
Officials should keep in mind that Hammers are heavy implements that will make a mark in the sector when they land and Javelins usually stick in the ground upon landing and therefore should give the implement adequate time to land before rushing in to get the mark.
The discus should be judged from the side whenever possible to avoid the implement skipping into an Official who may be directly behind the landing implement or inthe line of the implement's ricochet, which may not be straight, depending upon the surface of the landing area. Also wind may carry discus to side and the natural throwing motion will make it go to the field officials right for a right handed thrower and to the left for a left handed thrower.
In the shot put make sure spectators are a safe distance away from the right side of a right handed thrower and a safe distance away from the left of a left handed thrower , especially if the thrower is using the spin technique.
After the competition is completed, the circle/runway/runway/runway should be closed with no further throws allowed until time for the next throwing event to begin warm-ups.
These are not new procedures. They have all been used before by us at various meets. It is time though that we review these procedures in order to make these events as safe as possible.

With the recent release of both E-Webs and the Rebel Laser Cannon, there's never been a better time to base out your minis a la Hoth in Empire Strikes Back.
I've already looked at one similar base in my Icy Ilum article where I used crackle paint to make a frozen lake effect. There have been plenty of really great crackle paint bases in the Facebook group already, too!
But for the more authentic Hoth look – snow drifts and all – I wanted to try out something different.
As always, let's start by using some earth texture to put a foundation on our base. I prefer Vallejo's brown earth, but use whatever you like best. We don't need to prime the base first because we're going to prime after the rocks are in place.
While the texture is drying, add a scattering of pebbles, gravel, and small rocks. Hoth is a mountainous, craggy locale in the movie so we'll want some height and variance to go beneath the snow. I used one larger rock (almost comically on this base, less so on an E-Web or Laser Cannon base) that I'll have sticking out of the snow. I put a bit of super glue on the bottom of the big one just to help it stay in place, but shaking off the loose gravel was enough to keep the remaining bits in place.
Let everything dry overnight, then prime it all black. We want these rocks to be dark and uniform before we start detailing and adding snow.
I'm going to use Vallejo's German Grey (which is a dark, dark grey) to generously cover all the rocks we just primed black. I want them dark, but I still want detail.
Once that's dry, I'll use a Neutral Grey (just a lighter tint) to drybrush on some highlights. This keeps the rocks dark (contrasting them with the white snow here in a minute) but also gives them some much-needed definition.
Don't worry about the smaller rocks too much, they're probably going to get covered soon anyway.
I love Citadel's Valhallan Blizzard effect, but have also heard good things about Gale Force Nine's product, both linked above. Apply generously on top of the gravel, leaving some exposed around the edges. Pile it around the bigger rock if you added one, but don't totally cover it.
For added realism, use a toothpick or coffee stirrer to add some footprints – perhaps leading to your E-Web or Laser Cannon.
And for those of you trying to save a buck, let's look at with the homemade method.
Mix 1 part baking soda to 1 part glue. You want a toothpaste-like texture. Then, add in just a bit of white paint and mix it all up. The reason we add the white paint is that baking soda can yellow over time, and this simple addition should prevent any future (read: several years down the line – not, like, tomorrow) issues. Apply generously as described above.
I had to paint a bit of grey back around the edges of the snow where I sloppily applied it against the rock, but I think the effect still works just fine (and the error is much less noticeable in person).
Obviously if you're using trooper units with a small base you'll want a small rock to match (i.e.: definitely smaller than what I used in the photos), but the E-Web and Laser Cannon units can afford a bit more size and creativity with their bases.
Et voila, once again a complete, thematic base for your minis.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and as always if you make your own version of this, send me your pictures or post them in the comments!
Nice, easy to follow tutorial.
I'll be taking a stab at this with the Valhallan blizzard, and top that and the rocks with some Krycell snow powder by a small company called Precision Ice and Snow, which the scale modelling community apparantly swears by.
They also have a wash that is supposed to do a pretty good job at mimicking light snow build-up on the models themselves.

2 Minnesota businesses hope to catch the…
2 Minnesota businesses hope to catch the 'green' wave
Brian Plourde
PUBLISHED: July 4, 2011 at 11:01 p.m. | UPDATED: November 10, 2015 at 6:48 p.m.
As Scott Brown scoops up a handful of sapphire-blue pieces of glass, he explains that his company will use them to create a beautiful kitchen-island countertop for one of its customers. A large countertop, made from the shells of black walnuts, cures in a frame in another corner of the workroom.
"Being green and being environmentally forward-thinking is what has kept us still kicking and doing really well" during the recession, Brown said. He is one of four partners who own Rust Brothers, an eco-friendly cabinetry and tabletop business in the basement of an old warehouse in Northeast Minneapolis.
Rust Brothers builds all of its products from materials such as recycled glass, sustainably grown wood and black walnut shells.
As climate change affects everything from fish to crop yields, it also creates new employment opportunities. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted that jobs in environmental engineering will increase by about 30 percent from 2008 to 2018.
The federal government predicts that manufacturing and operating wind turbines will grow as the U.S. relies more on wind power.
"If we can inspire people to want to get into this field, they're going to get good jobs," said John Abraham, an associate professor of engineering at the University of St. Thomas. "The climate industry now is the health care industry of 20 years ago. It's booming."
Brian Plourde, a former student of Abraham's, sits at a high-powered computer in a lab at the University of St. Thomas School of Engineering. The 24-year-old engineer is designing small wind turbines that fit onto the sides of cellphone towers and generate the electricity the towers need to send out signals.
The primary market for these turbines will be in third-world countries where diesel generators or expensive electricity currently power cellphone towers. Switching to wind power would not only help these companies cut costs, but also allow them to continue serving their customers during severe weather conditions.
Abraham says it's important that the U.S. be a leader in developing such technologies.
"Right now, China's killing us," he said. "We're set to be buying their technology. I want to sell our technology to them. We have national reasons for wanting our citizens to be leaders in this field."
Plourde, who grew up on a farm in Somerset, Wis., is part-owner of Windstrip, a startup company in Minnesota made up of two older partners and two younger partners – Plourde and a friend. The older partners bring money and business experience. Plourde and his friend provide engineering skills, time and ambition.
Their product is in the testing stage, with one turbine operating in Duluth and two more coming online soon.
Meanwhile, there's no money for salaries. Instead of working for a large firm and earning up to $80,000 a year, Plourde is in a "constant countdown to bankruptcy."
His diet consists of Little Caesars pizza and chocolate milk. He owns a house with his young business partner. Their housemates pay rent, which helps cover the mortgage.
In the lab, Plourde wears 4-year-old jeans and polo shirts.
"I just can't gain weight or lose weight because my clothes won't fit anymore," he said.
Plourde does own suits for meetings with people who might buy the wind turbines or invest money in Windstrip.
To handle the stress, Plourde works out every day and consults with an experienced entrepreneur. Plourde and his partner work 12-hour days.
"We push each other around the clock," he said.
The partners at Rust Brothers can relate to Plourde's challenges. When Brown started the company in 2002, he left a good office job at a biotech firm because he wanted to be his own boss. Approaching their 40s, the partners would like to be able to hire young, strong workers to carry heavy materials. But with $400,000 in annual sales, the business isn't bringing in enough to give an employee a good wage and benefits.
"We feel strongly about the kind of job environment and benefits that we would like to be able to offer for employees. I'd rather not hire anybody until we're ready to give them what I'd like as an employee," Brown said.
Although Brown and Plourde are employed in different sectors of the environmental industry, both hope their businesses will make the world a cleaner, better place.
"If everybody just worries about what they're doing and tries to do great things, it will make a huge difference all over the place," Brown said.

Smooth, Like a Factory
by Alex Papadimoulis in Feature Articles on 2006-11-09 Edit
Founder, The Daily WTF
Daren S knew that his days were numbered. He was a troublemaker bent on changing The Way Things Were and The Director was hot on his tail. Though Daren worked discreetly, improving his coworkers' productivity a little bit at a time, it only was inevitable that The Director would eventually find out. One does not become The Director by letting such things slide.
A financial services provider, Daren's company did a lot of data processing and aggregation from a lot of different sources. The Director acknowledged that their processes were "a little rough around the edges" but insisted that they ran "smooth, like a factory." An accurate analogy I'd say, especially considering what the typical industrial factory is like: poisonous steam pipes spewing death gas every three seconds; razor-sharp pinwheel governors spinning at different yet predictable intervals; and giant, spiked stampers slamming down on conveyer belts running different speeds in varying direction, all placed inconveniently at the entrance and exit so that they must be meticulously navigated to avoid a significant loss of Life Points. At least, that's what every factory I've been in was like.
Also like a factory, the company's processes were developed over several years by many different engineers who carelessly bolted additions to the diabolical machinery. The most convoluted of these processes was the bi-weekly Hedge Report. One of the business' most critical reports, it took two people two full days to create. It was also Daren's new maintenance responsibility and, consequently, his downfall.
The Hedge Report needed data from four different sources aggregated into a single SQL Server. The aggregation was entirely manual: spreadsheets were generated, copy/pasted to each other, emailed, processed with a special script, emailed again, and so on. Daren's first mistake was to create a Visio diagram that modeled this process. Everyone knew how it worked, so said The Director, and Daren could have just asked any one of the many people involved.
Daren's second mistake was to make a minor change to a VB5 application that extracted data from another SQL Server. Before his change, the application would inform its user of a null datum by crashing and leaving a half-processed file that required the user to dig through, go back to the original SQL Server source, and change the null datum to the string "NULL." Though it shaved a few hours off of the report generation time, The Director felt it was a waste of time, because they had a completely suitable workaround.
Daren's third mistake would have been his suggestion to change an AppleScript that processed semi-raw data to a more manageable VBScript. But he was starting to learn. Although this AppleScript required that someone at another location logon to the company's only Mac workstation, run the script, and email back the results, Daren figured this would be a battle for a much later day.
Sadly, Daren never got to fight that battle. Fed up by Daren's constant requests to "improve" the process, The Director demanded to know what exactly was wrong with the ASP.NET module that Daren kept asking to change. After all, he personally oversaw the addition and paid good money on consultants to build it.
Daren printed out the Page_Load() method using a half-spaced six-point font with two "screens" per page. He highlighted the buggy and incorrect code, spliced the pages together, and went back to The Director's office. In a move that may not have been the wisest career choice, Daren held the first page in the air above his head and let the other taped-together pages cascade to the floor. With over seven-feet of highlighted code in hand, Daren said: "this is what's wrong with the code."

The demographic shift in the average age of the population worldwide calls for careful attention to the nutritional and health needs of the elderly. Frailty has been associated with increased disability, postsurgical complications and increased mortality; in a frail state, older adults are at greater risk for adverse outcomes, including falls and admissions to hospital and nursing homes. Despite the strong associations between frailty and subsequent poor outcomes, limited attention to this common geriatric condition has been paid in clinical settings. Emerging evidence suggests that both behavioral (nutrition and physical activity) and pharmacologic interventions may be effective in the treatment and prevention of the frailty syndrome. The papers in this book address our current understanding of the biological basis, clinical presentation and therapeutic interventions that target frailty. They highlight the transitional nature of research on the frailty syndrome and identified key unmet needs and areas for future investigation in this expanding field.

These tours are part of the Greater Philadelphia Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Center Summer Camp (GPSC), and the STEM-UP Leadership Experience. The Navy sponsors both of these programs through NSWCPD's partnership with Temple University. The partnership's goals include increasing student interest in STEM careers, particularly in engineering, power and energy, and national security and defense.
The GPSC's curriculum is specifically Navy STEM-focused. The tours serve as the capstone event of the programs.
This year, the STEM-UP and GPSC tours provided 75 students the opportunity to learn hands-on about electrical systems, tour engineering test sites and research labs, and also find out about future internships.
Engaging with the community is important to NSWCPD as a way to plant the seeds of interest in a career as a Navy Civilian engineer. NSWCPD developed a new STEM Outreach Charter in 2017 and hosts multiple STEM-focused programs for students and schools from across the Philadelphia area.
During his introduction, NSWCPD Chief Engineer Sean Brennan spoke of the importance of STEM learning. He explained that math and science create the building blocks of human understanding, and that technology couldn't exist without that knowledge. Brennan believes that an engineer cannot be effective without understanding these building blocks.
"You cannot get to engineering without math, science, and technology," Brennan said to the students.
Students learned the concepts behind electrical systems, and also had the hands-on task of creating one. Their systems used desk fans to simulate propulsion motors and LED's to simulate weapons platforms. NSWCPD engineers were on hand to guide the students in learning to read an electrical diagram in order to build their systems.
Next, students separated into groups to tour test sites and observe technical demonstrations. Groups toured the Anechoic Chamber, the Shock and Vibe lab, the DDG 51 Land Based Engineering Site (LBES), and the Advanced Data Acquisition Prototyping Technology & Virtual Environments (ADAPT.VE) lab. They also attended demonstrations of the Man Overboard Indicator (MOBI) and the Special Transport Omnidirectional Robot for Metrology Scanner (STORMS). During the tours, students had the chance to interact with technology and engage NSWCPD's subject matter experts. At the Anechoic Chamber site, engineer Kevin Agnew discussed his path from a Navy Sailor electrician's mate, to his current role as a Navy Civilian engineer. He explained how many different types of engineering, mathematics, and sciences are involved with his work.
Agnew explained how the anechoic chamber's triangle-lined walls stop sound-energy to create an ultra-quiet environment. After a moment of consideration, a student's eyes lit up. The student asked if sound is energy, then could the sound captured by the walls be converted into electricity?
In the ADAPT.VE lab, students got a chance to see how the Navy utilizes 3-D modeling and additive manufacturing. Patrick Violante and Scott Storms explained how the lab uses laser metrology to create equipment prototypes, and also is able to create virtual environments that simulate areas aboard a ship.
Engineer Vince Anzideo demonstrated the STORMS robot system. The robot incorporates a metrology scanner and is able to scan areas otherwise not possible. The robot was initially designed to scan the inside of an aircraft carrier's nuclear reactor. Now, it is being applied to other important uses. The STORMS robot impressed students, and even some of the tour guides.
The robotics demonstration showed the importance that collaboration holds for engineering. It also sparked engagement.
After the tours, students had the opportunity to talk with current interns about their experiences at NSWCPD. Stephanie Davidson, NSWCPD's intern coordinator, explained to the students that programs like the summer camp shows their initiative, and can also add value to their resumes. Davidson talked to the students about upcoming internship opportunities and walked the students through the application process.
"We hope to see you back here as an intern in the future," Davidson told the students.
NSWCPD provides the Navy's primary technical expertise for naval machinery research and development and in-service engineering, as well as machinery cybersecurity and lifecycle engineering.

\section{Introduction}

Of the more than 200 molecules detected in the interstellar medium (ISM) to date, more than 80\% were discovered through observations of their pure rotational transitions \cite{McGuire:2018mc}.  With few exceptions\cite{Woods:1975vi,Cernicharo:2008wi,Pety:2012cp}, the detection and characterization of molecules in the ISM is preceded by high-resolution spectroscopic investigations in the laboratory.  Depending on the molecular structure, many thousands of line frequencies may be measured and fit using common software packages\cite{Pickett:1991cv,Drouin:2017ol} to a Hamiltonian\cite{Watson:1977vk}, providing a set of rotational constants ($A$, $B$, $C$) as well as higher-order terms that account for the effects of centrifugal distortion, internal motion, fine and hyperfine coupling, etc.  These constants can then be used together with the Hamiltonian to predict energy levels and associated transition frequencies not directly measured within the laboratory. The accuracy of these predictions outside the range of the laboratory measurements varies substantially depending on the structure of the molecule and the extent of the extrapolation\cite{Carroll:2010gt,melosso2017terahertz}.

Substantial laboratory efforts were undertaken about a decade ago to enable analysis of high-resolution spectra from the Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared\cite{deGraauw:2010gy} (HIFI) instrument on the \emph{Herschel Space Observatory}\cite{Pilbratt:2010en}, which operated from 480--1910\,GHz. While transformative, the observations obtained with \emph{Herschel}/HIFI primarily contained spectra of either small molecules such as \ce{HCl+}\cite{DeLuca:2012cv,Gupta:2012ga} or of bright, abundant species such as \ce{CH3OH}\cite{Crockett:2014er,Neill:2014cb,Xu:2008gs}.  In general, high-frequency laboratory spectra of larger, more complex species have not been a priority, as the observational tools needed to observe them at high frequencies have not been available.

Recent observations in Band 10 (787 -- 950\,GHz) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) have demonstrated that these priorities must now shift to larger molecules.  The small single-dish antennas on \emph{Herschel} or the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)\cite{Temi:2014cb} result in large beams on the sky, heavily diluting the signal from compact star-forming regions such that (in general) the spectra are dominated by bright, abundant species like \ce{CH3OH}.  Interferometric observations with ALMA, however, have beams well-matched to the molecular emission, and are producing line-confusion limited spectra that are rich with emission from large, complex species that are not yet well studied in the laboratory.\cite{McGuire:2018bz}

One such species is ethylene glycol (EG; \ce{HO(CH2)2OH}); prior laboratory work on the most stable conformer \textit{aGg'} of this species included spectra up to 370\,GHz\cite{christen1995rotational,christen2003millimeter}.  Here, we extend this work to 890\,GHz and show that not only is EG present and bright in our ALMA Band~10 spectra, but that identification of these lines would not be possible via extrapolation from the lower-frequency work.

The rotational spectrum of the most stable conformer of EG has been recorded with a frequency-modulation sub-millimeter spectrometer \cite{melosso2019astronomical}. Spectral coverage between 360 and 890\,GHz was attained by combination of a Gunn diode (J.E. Carlstrom Co\cite{Carlstrom:1985vy}) emitting in the range 80--115\,GHz and a number of passive multipliers (VDI, RPG)\cite{Crowe:2007kj} in cascade. The resulting output radiation power was \emph{ca.} 1\,mW, 0.1\,mW, and 10\,$\mu$W at 360--390, 520--620, and 780--890\,GHz, respectively. The Gunn's radiation was phase-locked to a harmonic of a frequency synthesizer (Schomandl, ND 1000) and frequency modulated at $f$ = 48\,kHz by the 75\,MHz reference signal. A free-space glass absorption cell (3.25\,m long, 5\,cm in diameter) filled with EG vapors at a static pressure of \emph{ca.} 15\,mTorr was used for the measurements. Phase-sensitive detection at twice the modulation frequency was employed, so that the $2f$ spectrum profile was observed. A liquid-helium-cooled InSb bolometer (QMC Instr. Ltd. type QFI/2) was used as detector. We estimate the measurement uncertainty on any given line to between 25 and 50\,kHz, depending on the linewidth and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the spectrum at that frequency.

From a spectroscopic point of view, the \textit{aGg'} conformer of EG (shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:conf}) is a nearly-prolate asymmetric-top rotor with an internal large amplitude motion. Because of the tunneling between two equivalent positions of the hydroxy groups, each rotational energy level $J_{Ka,\,Kc}$ is split into two sub-levels, labeled as 0 or 1. The state 1 is slightly higher in energy than the state 0.
EG possesses a permanent electric dipole moment of 2.33 D, with components $\mu_a=2.080(3)$ D, $\mu_b=0.936(7)$ D, and $\mu_c=-0.47(1)$ D\cite{christen1995rotational}. Since the inversion motion causes the change in sign of $\mu_a$ and $\mu_c$, these two components allow transitions between the tunneling states 0 and 1; on the other hand, $b$-type transitions take place within the states.

\begin{figure*}[htb!]

The capital $G$ indicates the \textit{gauche} arrangement of the OH groups with respect to rotation at the \ce{C-C} bond, while lowercase letters \textit{a} (\textit{anti}) or \textit{g} indicate the position of hydroxyl hydrogen atoms with respect to rotation at the \ce{C-O} bonds. Clockwise and counterclockwise rotations are indicated by the symbols \textit{g} and \textit{g'}, respectively. The two isomeric forms are separated by a rotational barrier of 740\,K\cite{christen2001rotational}.}
    \label{fig:conf}
\end{figure*}

The rotational-torsional energy levels can be described using the formalism introduced by \citet{christen2003millimeter}.
Rather than fitting two sets of spectroscopic constants (one for each tunneling state) along with the energy difference between levels 0 and 1, as is often performed for these types of analyses, \citet{christen2003millimeter} have rearranged the Hamiltonian so that a unique set of rotational constants and the energy difference are fit along with their centrifugal dependencies.
The latter (Reduced Axis System; RAS) and former (Internal Axis Method; IAM) approaches have been demonstrated to be equivalent; the use of RAS method has been preferred in this and previous works\cite{christen2003millimeter,muller2004millimeter} because it is implemented in the SPFIT program\cite{Pickett:1991cv,Pickett:1997kz}.
An extensive description of the RAS Hamiltonian is given in the original papers\cite{christen2003millimeter,muller2004millimeter}.

Based on the spectroscopic parameters reported previously\cite{christen2003millimeter}, the rotational spectrum of \textit{aGg'}-EG were predicted and investigated at frequencies above 360\,GHz. Mostly, rotational-torsional transitions have been recorded line-by-line, scanning a few MHz around the predicted position. Spectral predictions were continuously updated by refining the spectroscopic constants on the basis of our newly recorded transitions, in order to avoid possible misassignment. Indeed, discrepancies up to 36\,MHz were found between older and actual line frequencies.  The observed lineshapes were dominated by Doppler broadening; the pressure of EG vapors was maintained at a value which allowed the observation of spectra with good SNR without causing significant pressure broadening. The uncertainty in line center frequencies was evaluated on a line by line basis, accounting for the effects of Doppler broadening on the linewidths.

In total, 228 distinct frequencies\footnote{The list of newly observed transitions, along with their residuals from the final fit, is provided as supplementary material.}, corresponding to 370 transitions, have been added to the existing dataset and all the experimental data have been fitted together in a least-square procedure in which each datum was weighted accordingly to its uncertainty. We probed rotational energy levels up to $J' = 86$ and $K_a' = 29$, thanks to which we were able to substantially improve the centrifugal analysis of \textit{aGg'}-EG. For instance, the whole set of centrifugal distortion terms up to the 8th order of the rotational Hamiltonian ($L$ and $l$ constants) has been determined for the first time with good accuracy. Some centrifugal dependencies of Coriolis ($F_{bc}$ and $F_{ab}$) and energy difference ($E^*$) terms have also been included in the analysis. To limit strong correlations among the spectroscopic parameters, however, we tried to keep the number of floating constants low, as long as the standard deviation of the fit remained at values around 1. On the whole, our newly determined parameters agree well with those previously reported\cite{christen2003millimeter} but their associated errors are slightly smaller in our work, as can be seen from Table~\ref{t1}.
The overall standard deviation ($\sigma = 0.86$) seems to indicate that the analyzed data are well-reproduced within their expected accuracy. Our new spectral predictions offer a solid base to assist astronomical searches of \textit{aGg'}-EG even at high frequencies.

Regrettably, a thorough knowledge of the rotational spectrum of EG is still a distant goal. This is because (i) the spectrum of the second most stable conformer \textit{gGg'} (which is estimated to be only 160--290\,K more energetic than \textit{aGg'}\cite{kristiansen1987microwave,christen2001rotational,muller2004millimeter}) has been studied up to 579\,GHz but extrapolations to higher frequencies were suggested to be not reliable \cite{muller2004millimeter} and (ii) transitions belonging to low-lying vibrational excited states remain completely unassigned.  The potentially substantial impact of such vibrational states on the crowding of astronomical spectra has previously been demonstrated \cite{Fortman:2012is}.

\subsection{Observations and Analysis}

The observations presented here are from ALMA projects \#2017.1.00717.S, \#2017.1.00661.S, and \#2015.A.00022.T.  The calibration and reduction are presented in detail elsewhere,\cite{McGuire:2017gy,Hunter:2017th,Brogan:2018wb,McGuire:2018bz} and will only be briefly discussed here.  The observations were centered at $\alpha$(J2000) = 17:20:53.36, $\delta$(J2000) = -35:47:00.0, and have been smoothed to provide a uniform angular resolution of $0.26''\times 0.26''$ across all datasets.  More than a dozen portions of frequency coverage span the range from \mbox{130\,--\,898\,GHz} with velocity resolutions of \mbox{$\sim$0.3\,--\,1.0}\,km\,s$^{-1}$.  The continuum has been identified from (relatively) line-free channels and subtracted from the spectra following the methods described in \citet{Brogan:2018wb}.

We have simulated the spectrum of EG up to 900\,GHz using both the new spectroscopic parameters derived here, and the literature values from which current database entries are derived.\cite{christen2003millimeter}  The spectra are simulated following the formalisms of \citet{Turner:1991um}, which include corrections for optical depth based on the background continuum temperatures we have measured during the continuum subtraction.  Intensities were converted to brightness temperature on the Planck scale, as errors introduced from the Rayleigh-Jeans approximation become large at high frequencies and small angular scales.

\end{figure*}

For complex molecules such as glycolaldehyde (\ce{HOCH2CHO}) with optically thin emission, we have found that a single column density with an excitation temperature of $T_{ex}$~=~135\,K, linewidth of $\Delta V$~=~3.2\,km\,s$^{-1}$, and $v_{lsr}$~=~-7\,km\,s$^{-1}$ well reproduces the observed spectral profiles.\cite{McGuire:2018bz}  For optically thick molecules, such as \ce{CH3OH} and EG however, the excitation temperature and column density can vary more significantly across the ALMA Bands due to varying penetration depths of the observations into the cloud.\cite{McGuire:2018bz} A complete treatment of these species is not only beyond the scope of this work, but would require a multidimensional radiative transfer model due to the spatial complexity of the region.  Therefore, here we limit ourselves to only discussing the impact that the frequency accuracy of the predictions has on line identification in high frequency ALMA data.  A comparison of EG emission simulated using the existing literature constants to those derived in this work is shown in Figure~\ref{alma}.

\section{Discussion}

In Band 7 (Fig.~\ref{alma} Top), well within the frequency range of the previous laboratory work, there is, as expected, near perfect agreement between not only spectra simulated with our refined constants compared to those of \citet{christen2003millimeter}, but also between both simulations and the observations.  The middle panel shows ALMA Band 10 data with only the newly measured lines overlaid.  Both the top and middle panels demonstrate the need for robust line catalogs, as even relatively complex species such as EG contribute substantially to the total line density in ALMA observations of hot cores.

The bottom panel demonstrates the need for high frequency laboratory work.  The simulation based on the prior work is significantly offset from the true line positions, as shown by the excellent agreement between our new predictions and the observations.  This would result either in a faulty conclusion that EG is not present in the Band 10 spectra, or perhaps that it is velocity shifted to an incorrect $v_{lsr}$.

\begin{figure}

    \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{band9.pdf}
    \caption{ ALMA spectra of NGC 6334I in Band 9, with simulated lines of EG from the analysis carried out in this work overlaid in red and using the constants derived in \citet{christen2003millimeter} inverted and in blue.  The simulation was perfomed at $T_{ex}$~=~135\,K, $\Delta V$~=~3.2\,km\,s$^{-1}$, and $v_{lsr}$~=~-7\,km\,s$^{-1}$.  There is essentially perfect frequency agreement between the datasets.}
    \label{band9}
\end{figure}

Many of the lines in our Band 10 spectra are shifted by $\sim$5\,MHz (2\,km\,s$^{-1}$ at 890\,GHz).  Yet, notably, stepping down in frequency to observations in ALMA Band 9 (602--720\,GHz), the two datasets are once again in excellent agreement with each other and with the observations (Fig.~\ref{band9}).  Indeed, because extrapolation errors are dependent on the quantum numbers and the accuracy with which the corresponding energy levels are known, rather than directly upon frequency, the situation can be quite challenging to assess.  For example, higher-frequency transitions of one type, e.g. \emph{b}-type transitions, arising between two energy levels that are well-characterized from lower-frequency measurements of \emph{a}-type transitions may be accurately predicted.  On the other hand, transitions very near in frequency but arising from poorly constrained energy levels might be highly inaccurate.  Additionally,  uncertainties in higher-order distortion terms scale non-linearly with increasing values of the quantum numbers,

As a result, it is often not clear the extent to which extrapolations become dangerous.  Extrapolating a factor of 1.9 times higher in frequency (to 700\,GHz) than the original work by \citet{christen2003millimeter} results in predictions that can be used to accurately analyze observational data, because these energy levels are well-constrained by the laboratory measurements.  A factor of 2.4 (to 875\,GHz), however, is too far, as demonstrated by our Band 10 analysis.

Most spectral fitting programs, including SPFIT/SPCAT, provide estimated uncertainties on the line positions that could be used for a zeroth-order approximation of the safety of extrapolation.  Yet, these are often statistical errors derived from the fit itself, and are not representative of the overall uncertainty of the prediction. For example, the EG signal just below 876250\,MHz in Fig.~\ref{alma} arises from the $29_{29,0} - 28_{28,1}$ and $29_{29,1} - 28_{28,0}$ transitions.  Using the errors in the constants reported by \citet{christen2003millimeter}, SPCAT provides an uncertainty of $\sim$0.3\,MHz for these line centers, a factor of $\sim$15 lower than the actual error.  The most reliable and robust method for ensuring that sufficiently accurate data are available is to measure these species in the laboratory at the required frequencies.

\section{Conclusions}

Here, we have extended the investigation of the rotational spectrum of the lowest-energy conformer (\textit{aGg'}) of ethylene glycol to 890\,GHz.  The analysis and assignment was significantly aided by prior lower-frequency work.  Extrapolating frequencies based on that lower-frequency work proved robust for analyzing astronomical spectra from ALMA toward the high-mass star-forming region NGC 6334I up through $\sim$800\,GHz.  In ALMA Band 10, however, these predictions diverged substantially, requiring our new laboratory measurements to make a secure detection.  This demonstrates the need for new high-frequency laboratory experiments to enable the robust analysis of data in corresponding ALMA observations.

Esl 6115 dishwasher not using hot water and doesnt dry dishes!
My technica dishwasher water is not getting hot anymore. I am now washing in cold water and of course the dishes do not dry. The machine is 6 years old.
We have a model GLD2445RFS0 Frigidaire dishwasher. The water does not appear to be getting hot enough and the dishes do not dry completely even though we use jet dry all the time? Suggestions?
I just purchased an LDF6920. It does not dry the dishes. In fact, there is water remaining in the bottom, and all the dishes and drum and door are beaded with water. It suggests putting some sort of water removing chemical, but I have never owned a dishwasher that did not made some effort to dry the dishes. I have to hand dry or have spots on everything. I am very, very disappointed with my new, and expensive, purchase.
My dishwasher zsf6152 isn't producing any hot water and heat to dry the dishes after the wash. Is it worth repairing?

Q: How can I code an efficient mobile site like gmail's? My web site has a different mobile version that's suited for iPhone/Android devices. The problem, however, seems to be in the site's performance. It's really slow and heavy, even though I'm not loading any images.
On the other hand, when I use Gmail's or YouTube's mobile version, they're so fast they almost perform like a native mobile application.
How do they do that?
Your help is much appreciated :)

A: See my comment. Also, if the slowness you perceive is when interacting with the site it could be that it lacks the ability to accept touch events. On mobile web, if you have not wired up the UI for js touch events the experience will seem slower because the device browser has to fall back to standard click and other mouseevents which are not optimal. Frameworks such as mootools and jquerymobile/jqtouch have these events baked in. Take a look at the mootools solution which has quite a good write up: http://davidwalsh.name/mootools-touch

A: They probably making use of local storage http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/
Are your pages too large? Try to use gzip and/or reduce output
Your server's connection speed may also be responsible of slowness

A: Well, You don't need to include any javascript framework to make it fast clickable.
By implementing some JavaScript you can achieve that. Google has released a solution for that
https://developers.google.com/mobile/articles/fast_buttons
This will allow visitor to interact with application native way. From Android 4 (as far as I remember) version by setting viewport meta tag the browser will automatically apply the fast click functionality.
For the animation issue always use Hardware accelerated animation with a fall back for older mobile browser. Using hardware accelerated animation it will make your application smooth as silk.
Follow this guideline and you can make your application as fast as gmail / youtube mobile version.

Best of luck.

A: Your webapp is consuming too much RAM. Don't use so many libraries and don't attach so many event handlers.


BurnsBarton is a WBENC (Women Business Enterprise National Council) and NAMWOLF (National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms) certified woman-owned law firm, founded in 2012. We are a group of Big Law attorneys who have gone small to provide excellent client service at a lower cost. Without the bureaucracy and overhead that comes with a large firm, our lawyers can focus on what they do best: advising and defending employers efficiently, effectively, and successfully. Our firm helps employers in every aspect of human resource law. We counsel our clients on a day-to-day basis to find creative employment solutions that avoid claims. But when claims inevitably arise, we defend our clients in litigation ranging from single-plaintiff discrimination claims to nationwide wage and hour class action lawsuits. We also assist our employer-clients with commercial litigation matters, including breach of contract and restrictive covenant lawsuits. We have earned a high degree of trust and loyalty from our clients because of the exceptional results we achieve for them, the high level of client service we provide, and the cost-effectiveness of our representation.
We are a group of experienced litigators and employment counselors – we don't spend our clients' money training rookies. Most of our attorneys spent their careers with large, national law firms before joining BurnsBarton. Our clients hire us for our expertise and experience and we give each matter our personal attention. Our rates are significantly lower than our big firm competitors, and we are committed to providing efficient service to our clients. We know that it is difficult for good employers to pay big firm overhead in litigation matters, so we have kept our overhead low. We want to give our clients the option of taking a case to trial rather than settling just to avoid legal fees. We don't have a marketing department, we don't own a suite at the ballpark, and we don't staff cases the way large national firms do – i.e., we don't push work down to the lowest-cost (and least-experienced) associates. When you hire us, you get us, and our low overhead allows us to keep fees affordable.
Our clients are responsible employers who follow the law and treat their employees fairly. We know that to effectively represent our clients, we need to understand their businesses inside and out. That is why we take the time (off the clock) to visit with our clients, see their operations, get to know their people, and understand what is important to their success. This helps us provide them with the best legal advice and the most effective representation in court. As a result, we have a select group of very happy clients who tell us that we are the most effective and cost-efficient lawyers they use. Our clients range from Fortune 100 companies like Kroger, Intel, and United Parcel Service (for whom we are Core Counsel in the Southwest), to Arizona-based companies that operate on national and international platforms like GoDaddy, Forever Living Products, Swift Transportation, ASML US, Inc., and Fox Restaurant Concepts, to local Arizona companies like Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, Arizona Instrument, Kingman Regional Medical Center, and Integrated Medical Services. References are available upon request.
We take pride in counseling our clients on day-to-day employment matters to help them avoid employment claims and disputes. However, if litigation cannot be avoided, our team of seasoned litigators has a proven track record of success in the courtroom and we regularly resolve cases on dispositive motions. We are not afraid to take cases to trial, if it is in our client's best interest. We have tried cases in federal and state court jurisdictions across the country and as a result we understand how to advise our clients to make sound, legally defensible decisions that will present well to a jury. We like to say we provide trial-tested advice. We recognize that sometimes our clients' best interests are served by settling cases, however, and our track record of consistently obtaining defense verdicts helps us reach favorable settlements.

Voluntary dissolution allows for a school district, as a North Dakota political subdivision, to end its existence and become attached to other contiguous school districts. The process is the result of the school district determining "that it is in the best interest of its students to dissolve the school district and become attached to surrounding school districts."
After the school board has decided to dissolve the district, the school board is encouraged to consult with its patrons to determine where the patrons want their children to go to school and what part of the school district's land should be attached to those school districts.
That division of the land and its taxable valuation should be proportionate to where the resident students of the district have indicated where they will attend school after the dissolution.
The county superintendent or designee schedules a hearing before the county committee. At the hearing, the board of the dissolving district is encouraged to propose a particular manner of dissolution.
The county committee approves the dissolution and decides which land of the dissolving school district will be attached to which contiguous high school districts. The county committee's decision is then submitted to the State Board of Public School Education for approval.
After the State Board's consideration and approval, the dissolution becomes effective on the following July 1 or on another date specified by the county committee.
The preferred dissolution date is August 15.
