Canada: Subsequent Discovery Of Severity Of Injuries And Limitation Periods: Baig v. Mississauga
by Carol-Anne Wyseman
Rogers Partners LLP
In Baig v. Mississauga, 2020 ONCA 697, the Court of Appeal recently upheld a summary judgment finding that a man who fell off his bicycle and injured himself in 2013 was barred from suing the Corporation of the Town of Mississauga ("Mississauga"), as the two-year limitation period had expired.
The plaintiff had fallen off his bicycle and injured himself on May 21, 2013.
On May 29, 2013, the plaintiff submitted a Claim Report to Mississauga, describing his injuries, seeking compensation, and recommending remediation of the hazard that had caused him to fall. On the Claim Report, it stated: "NOTE: THERE IS A 10 DAY NOTICE FOR PROVIDING THE CITY WITH NOTICE OF CERTAIN TYPES OF CLAIMS AND A TWO YEAR LIMITATION period for bringing an action in respect to all claims."
On May 5, 2014, a claims analyst assigned to the claim by Mississauga wrote to the plaintiff to advise that he had unsuccessfully attempted to contact him many times and that, if the plaintiff did not contact him within 30 days, his file would be closed. The letter also advised of the limitation period. The file was closed in June 2014.
It was not until September 1, 2017 that the plaintiff issued a claim against Mississauga for damages.
Mississauga moved for summary judgment, arguing that the plaintiff's claim was statute-barred, as the two-year limitation period under s. 4 of the Limitations Act had expired.
Summary Judgment Motion
At the summary judgment motion, the plaintiff argued that he did not discover the extent of his injuries until years after the accident.
He also argued that he lacked the capacity to commence litigation within the limitation period due to a disability and a compromised mental state.
The motion judge found that the plaintiff discovered the material facts of his claim as of May 22, 2013, which was the day that he went to the hospital, or at the latest, on May 29, 2013, when he submitted his claim to Mississauga.
She held that the subsequent discovery of the severity of the plaintiff's injuries did not extend the limitation period.
With respect to the plaintiff's capacity argument, the motion judge reasoned that, while the plaintiff had proffered evidence of a mental illness, there was no evidence that it rose to the level of incapacity contemplated by the Limitations Act. It was also noted that the plaintiff had received legal advice.
The motion judge held that there was no genuine issue for trial and granted Mississauga's motion.
The Court of Appeal held that the motion judge had made no error with respect to the date that the claim was discovered, referencing Liu v. Wong, 2016 ONCA 366, for the proposition that "the law is quite well established that it is knowledge of the material facts necessary to support the cause of action that triggers the commencement of the limitation period" and that "knowledge of the extent of the damages is not necessary."
It added that the appellant was aware of the necessary facts to support a claim against Mississauga "almost immediately" after his fall, as confirmed by his claim for compensation from Mississauga a mere eight days later. Further, the appellant had been advised of the two-year limitation period twice.
With respect to the appellant's capacity argument, the Court of Appeal held that the motion judge correctly applied section 7(2) of the Limitations Act, which indicates that a plaintiff is presumed to have been capable of commencing a proceeding, unless the contrary is proved on a balance of probabilities.
The appeal from the summary judgment order was dismissed.
This decision acts as a reminder that, except in the context of some claims arising from automobile accidents, the subsequent discovery of the severity of a plaintiff's injuries does not extend the limitation period.

Big Or Small A Phenix Is Always A Miracle
Big or small, a phenix is always a miracle – Eliezer Papo
The Sephardic Jews of Bosnia are a happy and optimistic people whose history, unfortunately, is marked by two traumatic events: from one side by the 1492 Expulsion and from another by the Holocaust. In April 1942 some 14.500 Jews lived in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 10.500 of them in Sarajevo, the capital. Only 1.600 survived the Croatian occupation of the country and the persecutions led by the Ustashas, Croatian and Bosnian-Muslim fascists. More then half of the survivers left for Israel in 1948 when an independent Jewish State was proclaimed. Bosnian Jews who stayed to live in the New Communist Yugoslavia were concentrated primarily in Sarajevo, but there were still some families who stayed in the provincial cities. Not knowing how to be anything but Jews they have recreated their community as a center of selfhelp and nostalgia. At the same time, the majority of the refounders of the Community wanted their children and grandchildren to be raised first of all as good Yugoslavians. The conscious acquisition of Yugoslavian super-nationality was quite a convenient solution for the problematic modern Jewish identity – because not only it did not even remotely resemble any kind of conversion to any other religion (as Yugoslavain nationality, unlike the different ethnic identities in Yugoslavia, was not identified with any religious tradition) – but it also had an egalitarian aura. Not only the Jews – but, rather, any Yugoslavian ethnic group: Serbs, Croats, Bosnian-Muslims, Slovenians or Macedonians, if they wanted to declare themselves as Yugoslavians have had to suppress their own ethnic identities in order to acquire one super-ethnic and more universal identity. All the time the community was run by the first generation of survivers, it had a pale image, as it lived in the constant shade of the Holocaust and the lost glory of the Small Jerusalem (before the Second World War, due to the richness of its Jewish life, in Ladino Sarajevo was referred to as Chiko Yerushalayim – Small Jerusalem). Any kind of enthusiasm, from the part of the second or the third generation, was met with the apathetic attitude of the elders. Why try anything when anyways we can never attain what we have used to be before the Holocaust. What kind of good could bring renewing the interest in Judaism? Few years before the last civil war (1992 – 1996) for the first time the second-generation leaders were elected to lead the Community. The things started to change gradually – but it was only during the war that the Community rediscovered its vitality and its energy, surprising everyone - firstly itself. With deep scars from the Holocaust and firm will not to let anything similar happen to it ever again, the Community achieved agreements with all the warring parts in order to secure the Exodus of the children and elderly people. In only two-three weeks the majority of the kids were sent to Israel, while most of the elderly were accommodated in the sister-communities in Serbia and Croatia. The "middle generation", most of whom stayed in Bosnia, established (or reinforced) the contacts with the Joint and through it with other Jewish humanitarian organizations also, receiving from them material help and distributing it in the community and amongst the citizens of Sarajevo regardless their ethnic or religious background. Obviously, the most energetic activities were undertaken by the most numerous Sarajevo Community (1090 registered members at the dawn of the civil war). The Community ran an ambulance that worked 24 hours a day with the best supplied pharmacy in the city. Both worked on non sectarian base, distributing the help to anyone in need. As the city of Sarajevo was under a siege – the food had to be rationed. The Community managed to bring into the city a certain quantity of basic nutriments and distribute them amongst its members and the friends of the Community. Besides the food, the Community was also distributing garments and footwear. With the time, it also established a humanitarian kitchen which offered a lunch to the members and the friends of the Community on a daily base. In the mentioned Jewish convoys (which left the city at the beginning of the War and at few occasions even later) there were always at least 50 % of youngsters or elderly people from other ethno-religious communities. Logically, most of the help was coming from the outside world – but the contacts, the organization and the distribution were all done from within, by the small Jewish Community of Sarajevo. The auto-organization and the self-help of the Community reached such a level that many people starting looking for their eventual Jewish roots in order to be eligible to the full rights of the members. All of the sudden, anyone with one Jewish parent, grandparent or even great-grandparent reclaimed the membership. Some, lacking the real documents, even produced their own. It is this process (so opposite to the WWII experience, when the Jews were trying desperately to prove their arian origin) together with the new active image of the Community that helped the Bosnian Jews to dismiss definitively the Holocaust complex and to embrace their newly founded vitality. The civil war ended in 1996. Since than, most of the youngsters who left for Israel returned to Bosnia. Many of them after completing their secondary studies and some after completing the military service in Israel. Today, there are some 1000 Jews in Bosnia. 700 of them in Sarajevo. The overwhelming majority of the young Bosnian Jews speak fluent Hebrew and many have a strong Jewish and even Israeli identity. Once awaken from its long lethargy the Community arose as a phenix, showing the capacities that noone believed it had. One should hope that the "spiritual muscles" developed in the last war will help this Community survive in the peace that everyone in Bosnia needs and deserves.

London, May 11: Britain will unveil details today of events building up to and on the day of the London suicide bombings last July which killed 52 people and injured more than 700.
But the Home Office review is likely to leave many questions unanswered and its limited scope has provoked criticism from survivors of the bombings and opposition political parties who have demanded answers about possible intelligence failures.
Four Britons caused carnage after detonating homemade bombs on three London underground trains and a double decker bus during the morning rush-hour on July 7 in the first suicide attacks by militants in western Europe.
Media reports say anti-terrorism police have concluded the men were not part of an international conspiracy but had been acting alone, although a number had attended militant training camps in Pakistan.
Mohammad Sidique Khan, believed to have been the ringleader, appeared in an al Qaeda videotape released after his death but experts doubt Osama bin Laden's group played a major, if any, role in the bombings.
In his message, Khan said the attacks were a response to the ''atrocities'' committed by western governments against Muslims.
Last year, Prime Minister Tony Blair's government rejected holding a public inquiry into the bombings, arguing that it would interfere with the work of the security services and that the focus should be on preventing further attacks.
Instead, today's report will provide a definitive narrative on what happened and the immediate build-up.
A police spokeswoman, who said the hunt for any possible co-conspirators was continuing, said no new details about the ongoing investigation would be released.
The Conservatives have questioned why the general security level had been lowered a few weeks before July 7 and why the men had not been picked up as possible threats by the security services.
Initially police played down suggestions the men had come to their attention before the attacks.
However, court documents show that Khan and another of the bombers had been under surveillance by anti-terrorism officers more than a year beforehand and had been in contact with a suspected British terrorism cell.
There have also been unsubstantiated media reports that the police had tracked all four men a year before the attacks but gave up the operation after deciding they posed no threat.
Parliament's intelligence and security committee will also issue a report on Thursday and media reports have said this would shed more light on how much was known about the group.
A security source it was easy to make judgements with the benefit of hindsight and that, based on the evidence they had at the time, security officials would have taken the same view that Khan did not pose a threat.
''Talking to people about would they do anything differently, horrifically but understandably the answer is 'no,''' he told Reuters.
John Tulloch, who was sitting opposite Khan when he detonated his bomb but survived, told Reuters in January that only a public inquiry would be satisfactory.
''Some of the questions that have to be asked won't be answered by the Home Secretary's narrative written by some bureaucrat,'' he said.

Nikki Budzinski
Office Seeking: US House (IL-13)
General Election: November 8th, 2022
Provided Biography
Nikki Budzinski has spent her life fighting for workers and working families. She believes in the American Dream and will bring people together to level the playing field and rebuild the middle class so families have a shot to get ahead.
Born in Peoria, Nikki's parents taught her the importance of family, community, and service to others. From her grandpa, a union painter, she saw how unions built and sustained the middle class. From her grandma, a public school teacher, she learned the value of a good education. Nikki attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and was inspired to devote her life to public service after interning for former Congressman Dick Gephardt, former Senator Paul Simon, and Planned Parenthood.
Nikki has spent her entire adult life standing up for working families. After college, Nikki traveled the country fighting to get hardworking people the pay and workplace safety conditions they deserve. She worked for the IAFF Firefighters' union to help look out for our first responders who put their lives on the line for us every day, making sure they have the equipment, training, and health protections they need. Then she stood with UFCW workers, making sure grocery workers and meatpackers got a fair day's pay and workplace protections at dangerous processing plants. She also fought to protect workers' rights to collectively bargain for fair pay, safety protections, and benefits in states trying to attack those rights.
As Governor JB Pritzker's senior advisor on labor issues, Nikki successfully led the charge to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. By bringing workers, small businesses, and elected officials to the negotiating table Nikki worked to make sure that all working families across Illinois can maintain a decent standard of living. Also in the Governor's office, Nikki served as the Chair of Broadband Advisory Council that that is helping to expand high-speed "broadband" internet across Illinois.
Later, Nikki helped President Biden set up his new administration and deliver much needed relief for working families facing unprecedented challenges from the pandemic. As Chief of Staff for Biden's Office of Management and Budget, she served in the office that helped implement the American Rescue Plan to help economy recover from pandemic. Nikki also helped get the Made in America Office off the ground, helping to ensure American companies and manufacturers get first priority.
Nikki has spent her career improving the lives of workers, and she wants to go to Congress to build on that work. She'll fight for affordable college and job training, affordable child care and an economic recovery that doesn't leave anyone behind. She'll help working families get on their feet, get back to work, and get the type of good-paying middle-class jobs that used to be available to communities all over Downstate but are harder and harder to come by every year.

A super-steep, better-not-fall-here chute off Kachina Peak.
Hunziker, or Hunzie Main, is a very steep and straight chute lined by rocks and cliffs that turns into the single black Hunker Bowl, which has its own entrance.
Hunzie Main is classic gnarl.
On a powder day, it's epic.
On a hard-packed day, it's still excellent, as long as you don't fall.
This line has the fewest bumps of any off the Kachina Peak Chair. To get to Hunziker, ski midway down Main Street and look for the trees to your right.
On the other side of the trees, pick your way down, staying just right of the trees until you see the chute open up.
You're asking for trouble if you go too far to the right.
At the bottom of the chute, it is possible, though impractical, to exit through the entrance to Hunziker Bowl, but this part of the mountain is lunar and beautiful; you'd be crazy not to continue down.

I love the artwork and pottery of Clarice Cliff, so it's no wonder I adore this set of Woodware stamps designed by Francoise Read and very much in the style of Clarice Cliff's work.
Sometimes I colour in the image in the rather offbeat colours that Cliff occasionally used - a whole landscape in shades of purple and orange, for instance, but for this new home card I've kept to more conventional ones. The corners and the sentiment are from the same stamp set and I've ruled a fine line between the corners to represent a frame.
Oh so gorgeous, Jane! I love Clarice Cliff, and you've caught her bright colours beautifully!
This is fabulous Jane, a super scene and lovely bright colours.
I saw this in the gallery at SOS and imediately thought 'Clarice Cliff'. I love the frame you've made. Great card.
Ohh!! love the pop of colors on your sweet little image and the fabulous way you created a frame for it.
This is super cute Jane and just perfect for a new home owner. Thanks for sharing at Just Add Ink.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh sistah! Love love love this card!
That wee home is super!
Thanks for coming home sweet home with the crew from SHOPPING OUR STASH this week!
There is something about this card-- I could just stare at it for hours! It's just so clean and charming! Thank you for sharing at Shopping Our Stash this week!
Very cute card with beautiful bright colours, Jane!

Beyond ESG metrics – Road to sustainability
ESG issues have become particularly important for businesses, leading many publicly traded firms to release more information about their related efforts.
Unfortunately, the lack of standardisation in terms of goals, policies and progress monitoring has led to a proliferation of ESG disclosure standards and metrics. While investors are prioritizing ESG, general partners and portfolio companies struggle to identify, collect, and report relevant data.
This article aims at a better overview of operations: from data sourcing to data analytics to data transformation, esg metrics are different, but approaches, methodologies are similar.
Which data?
There's currently a mix of standards and best practices, the process starts with collection, which in itself is a massive undertaking. Even relatively small companies could be drawing on wildly diverse data sets in multiple formats, covering everything from water use to carbon footprint of a key supplier or exit interviews from employees who left the company.
For most organizations, datasets about exploitation of resources are spread across 100s of operational systems, data warehouses, data hostings and vendors. Finding, organising, and making certain all of this data is of good quality is in practical terms impossible without data cleansing and preparation. Once the data set is assembled, it has to be analysed by Data Analysts, potentially loaded by Data Engineers and potentially modelled by Data Scientists .
Advanced data analytics and dashboarding allow organizations to know if they are meeting ESG goals and make necessary corrections if they aren't. Data analytics on this scale calls for the ESG data can be centralized in modern, cloud-based storage infrastructure and data pipelines to ensure reliability and data integrity.
A modern cloud data architecture that can deal with structured, semi-structured and unstructured data coming in both batch and real-time is a foundational component. Analysis of this sort also requires that data scientists collaborate effectively and efficiently across business lines.
NLP can help verification
That being said, ESG metrics are meaningless without verification. AI can add a new dimension to verification by using techniques from NLP natural language processing (programmatically extracting information from text) to graph analytics (learning how different entities influence each other's ESG) to modeling (e.g. Pytorch). While AI provides an opportunity to programmatically improve ESG, organizations now face the challenge of adopting and managing the broad set of machine learning tools available today to make this promise a reality.
All of this can be accomplished with a Unified Data Analytics Platform that allows organizations to easily and quickly gather data from disparate sources. They store it for accurate analysis in a highly reliable and high performing data lake that accelerates the rate at which teams can turn data into insights using machine learning and AI at scale. Big data and AI can augment the ESG rating data that many companies buy today or drive completely novel insights.
ESG metrics starts by aggregating and processing large collections of diverse data from vendors, IOT, news, geospatial, and emissions data sources. For many organizations, this requires a large infrastructure to build out.
Key To ESG enablers are reported below:
DATA PLATFORMS Azure Synapse Analytics, for data pipelines and data platforms.
DATA INGEST Pull data across all your different data sources, data storage and data types, including batch and streaming. Leverage a library of connectors, integrations and APIs for all your needs.
DATA LAKES Build reliable data lakes at scale. Improve data quality, optimize storage performance and manage stored data, all while maintaining data lake compliance and security.
DATA PIPELINES Run scalable and reliable data pipelines. Use Scala, Python, R or SQL to run processing jobs quickly on distributed Spark runtimes, without having to worry about the underlying computing.
DATA CONSUMERS Use your data for building BI dashboards, production models and everything in-between.
When organizations obtain an assessment of the data universe that constitute a view of ESG, they can analyze it, individualize trends, predict issues in advance, make corrections and create the foundation for a virtuous cycle of resilience.
To conclude a unified input of Data Professionals (Data Engineers, Data Analyst and Data Scientists), is the key driver to realizing the world-changing promise of ESG.

Q: Azure Blob Storage : unable to verify the first certificate I have created a new azure storage account. Inside which i have a blob container, the access type of which is set to 'private'. Following is my nodejs code through which i try to create a container.
var azure = require('azure-storage');
            var accountName = "xxxxxxxxxx";
            var accessKey = "veryLongAccessKey";
            var host = "https://abc.blob.core.windows.net";
            var blobSvc = azure.createBlobService(accountName, accessKey, host);

            blobSvc.createContainerIfNotExists('myblobContainer', function(error, result, response) {
                console.log("error");
                console.log(error);
                console.log("result");
                console.log(result);
                console.log("response");
                console.log(response);
            });

When i execute this code i get following error.
{ Error: unable to verify the first certificate
    at Error (native)
    at TLSSocket.<anonymous> (_tls_wrap.js:1062:38)
    at emitNone (events.js:86:13)
    at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:185:7)
    at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:586:8)
    at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:416:38) code: 'UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE' }

what am I missing?

A: openssl s_client -connect {StorageAccount}.blob.core.windows.net:443 \
                 -servername {StorageAccount}.blob.core.windows.net

says:
Certificate chain

 0 s:/CN=*.blob.core.windows.net
   i:/C=US/ST=Washington/L=Redmond/O=Microsoft Corporation
     /OU=Microsoft IT/CN=Microsoft IT SSL SHA2

 1 s:/C=US/ST=Washington/L=Redmond/O=Microsoft Corporation
     /OU=Microsoft IT/CN=Microsoft IT SSL SHA2
   i:/C=IE/O=Baltimore/OU=CyberTrust/CN=Baltimore CyberTrust Root

You're probably missing the Baltimore Root CA.
Probable causes:

*

*The certificate is missing from your Node's CA bundle and chain verify fails.  Not familiar with how Node handles its CA bundle, but it's worth doing the research

*There's something nosing into your TLS (Fiddler or some other man-in-the-middle TLS inspector)
A workaround using ssl-root-cas can be found here (if you're unable to track the root cause).

A: I got some issue around SSL verification when trying to connect to Azure Storage blob from my company's network (fire-walled and proxied) and tried turning off the SSL verification and it worked.
const myRequest = require('request').defaults({strictSSL: false})

Don't forget to re-enable this again at the end.
While this works temporarily, it is a workaround/dirty fix and not a solution.

Luxembourg Times - Archives - Train station lobby is history!
Train station lobby is history!
The entrance lobby, or concourse, to Esch-sur-Alzette train station, with its striking glass facade is no more, and is now reaching a final demolition stage.
The building was connected with renowned architect Jean Prouvé, with his participation in the building's development proving controversial.
Once the complete demolition is over, a new concourse will rise from the dust, housing amongst other things, a small supermarket.
For a peek into the history of the Esch train station concourse see the photo gallery below.

In a time of growing income inequality in America, there is one asset that remains in the hands of the American people: the 640 million acres of America's Public Lands. Given its status as the last large-scale public asset on the planet, powerful forc-es have aligned to attempt the largest land grab in modern history, rob Americans of this unique birthright, and make modern day vassals of the American people.
OUR LAND explores the topic of public lands by interweaving three layers of narrative: Ongoing, character-driven land battles, a char-acter-driven political exposé, and historical context provided by historians and journalists. These are not distinct topics, but rather an uninterrupted story of mankind's relationship to land and resources in North America that will be woven together seamlessly in the film. To create a coherent narrative, we will be following Hal Herring, a journalist who has dedicated his life to exploring the paradigm of public lands, as he tracks down these stories and puts together the puzzle pieces to expose the largest land heist in modern history.

The company says it plans to integrate PhoneFactor's offerings into its solutions over time.
Microsoft today announced that it has accquired multi-factor authentication (MFA) provider PhoneFactor.
"PhoneFactor, based in Overland Park, Kan., sells phone-based multi-factor authentication products for enterprises," writes Computerworld's Lucian Constantin. "Its technology was designed to work with both Microsoft enterprise products and with platforms from other vendors."
"Multi-factor authentication is mainly a concern in business and enterprise environments, where it's critical that sensitive information is protected," writes TechCrunch's Sarah Perez. "The process typically involves something you know (like your password) and something you possess. This latter item is often a smartcard, which some users find confusing to deal with and can be hard to keep up with. Mobile phones, on the other hand, are almost always by our sides."
"The acquisition of PhoneFactor will help Microsoft bring effective and easy-to-use multifactor authentication to our cloud services and on-premises applications," Bharat Shah, corporate vice president of Microsoft's server and tools division, said in a statement. "In addition, PhoneFactor's solutions will help Microsoft customers, partners and developers enhance the security of almost any authentication scenario."
"Microsoft says it will continue to sell PhoneFactor's existing solutions as a standalone offer, and complement to Active Directory or Windows Azure Active Directory solutions," writes WebProNews' Chris Crum. "The company says that it will drive further integration with key Microsoft technologies (like those, as well as Office 365) over time."

This topic describes different ways to resolve common messages that the documentation linter produces.

## Anatomy of a documentation linter message

This is an example of a message produced by the documentation linter.

A documentation linter message contains these elements. Starting from the top line:

* The severity. One of these icons indicates the message's severity:
  *  **Error** (A red `x` in a circle)  Errors must be corrected before the file can be merged.
  *  **Warning** (A yellow exclamation mark in a triangle) Warnings should be corrected before the file is merged.
  *  **Info** (A blue lower-case `i` in a circle) Informational messages should be corrected before the file is merged.
* The style rule message. The style rule message in this example is: *Did you really mean 'sdfdsfsdfdfssd'? It wasn't found in our dictionary.*
* The style reference. Some references are linked to a style guide topic that explains the rule. The style reference in this example is: *Vale(Angular.Angular_Spelling)*.
* The location of the problem text in the document identified by source line and column as precisely as possible. Some messages might not have the exact location of the text that triggered the message. The location in this example is: *[Ln 8, Col 1]*.
* The style test definition file that produced the message, which is linked to the file. The style test definition in this example is: *Angular_Spelling.yml[Ln 1, Col 1]: View rule*.

## Strategies to improve your documentation

These tips can help you improve your documentation and remove documentation linter messages.

### Refer to the style guides

The lint tool tests against the styles found in these style guides.
Most style tests include links to relevant sections in these documents for more information.

*   [Angular documentation style guide][AioGuideDocsStyleGuide]
*   [Google Developer Documentation Style Guide][GoogleDevelopersStyle]

Not every style mentioned in the style guides has a test.
Style guides and the style tests can change.

### Split up long sentences

Generally, shorter sentences are easier to read than longer ones.
Long sentences can occur when you try to say too much at once.
Long sentences, as well as the use of parentheses, semicolons, or words identified as *too-wordy*, generally require rethinking and rewriting.

Consider restructuring a long sentence to break its individual ideas into distinct sentences or bullet points.

### Use lists and tables

Sentences that contain comma-separated lists might be clearer if presented as a bulleted-list or table.

Consider changing a comma-separated list of items in a sentence to a list of bullets to make those list items easier to read.

### Use more common words

Shorter, more common words are generally easier to read than longer ones.
This does not mean you need to write down to the audience. Technical docs should still be precise.
Angular docs are read by many people around the world and should use language that the most people can understand.

If you think a specific term is required even though it has been flagged as uncommon, try to include a short explanation of the term.
Also, try adding some context around its first mention.

Linking a term to another section or topic is also an option, but consider the disruption that causes to the reader before you use it.
If you force a reader to go to another page for a definition, they might lose their concentration on the current topic and their primary goal.

### Use fewer words

If you can remove a word and not lose the meaning of the sentence, leave it out.

One common place where removing words can help is in a list of examples with more than two or three items.
Before you place the items in a bullet list, consider if only one of the items can convey the desired meaning.
Another option might be to replace a list of items with a single term that describes all the elements in your list.

## More about specific documentation linter messages

Most documentation linter messages are self-explanatory and include a link to supplementary documentation.
Some messages identify areas in that the documentation might need more thought.
The following types of messages often occur in areas of the text that should be reconsidered and rewritten to improve the text and remove the message.

### A word is *too-wordy* or should be replaced by another

Generally, technical documentation should use a simple and consistent vocabulary to be understood by a wide audience. Words that trigger this message are usually words for which there's a simpler way to convey the same thought.

#### Angular.WriteGood_TooWordy - See if you can rewrite the sentence...

Words identified by this style test can usually be replaced by simpler words.
If not, sentences with these words should be revised to use simpler language and avoid the word in the message.

The following table has some common words detected by this type of message and simpler words to try in their place.

| *Too-wordy* word | Simpler replacement |
|:--                   |:--            |
|accelerate |speed up |
|accomplish |perform, finish |
|acquire |get |
|additional |more |
|adjustment |change |
|advantageous |beneficial |
|consequently |as a result |
|designate |assign |
|equivalent |the same |
|exclusively |only |
|for the most part |generally |
|have a tendency to |tend to |
|in addition |furthermore |
|modify |change or update |
|monitor |observe |
|necessitate |require |
|one particular |one |
|point in time |moment |
|portion |part |
|similar to |like |
|validate |verify |
|whether or not |whether |

#### *WordList* messages

The messages about words detected by these style tests generally suggest a better alternative.
While the word you used would probably be understood, it most likely triggered this message for one of the following reasons:

* The suggested works better in a screen-reader context.
* The word that you used could produce an unpleasant response in the reader.
* The suggested word is simpler, shorter, or easier for more people to understand.
* The word you used has other possible variations. The suggested word is the variation to use in the documentation to be consistent.

### *Proselint* messages

The Proselint style tests test for words that are jargon or that could be offensive to some people.

Rewrite the text to replace the jargon or offensive language with more inclusive language.

### *Starting a sentence* messages

Some words, such as *so* and *there is/are*, aren't necessary at the beginning of a sentence.
Sentences that start with the words identified by this message can usually be made shorter, simpler, and clearer by rewriting them without those openings.

### Cliches

Cliches should be replaced by more literal text.

Cliches make it difficult for people who don't understand English to understand the documentation. When cliches are translated by online tools such as Google Translate, they can produce confusing results.

## If all else fails

The style rules generally guide you in the direction of clearer content, but sometimes you might need to break the rules.
If you decide that the best choice for the text conflicts with the linter, mark the text as an exception to linting.

The documentation linter checks only the content that is rendered as text. It does not test code-formatted text. One common source of false problems is code references that are not formatted as code.

If you use these exceptions, please limit the amount of text that you exclude from analysis to the fewest lines possible.

When necessary, you can apply these exceptions to your content.

1.  **General exception**

    A *general exception* allows you to exclude the specified text from all lint testing.

    To apply a general exception, surround the text that you do not want the linter to test with the HTML
    `comment` elements shown in this example.

    ```html

    <!-- vale off -->

    Text the linter does not check for any style problem.

    <!-- vale on -->

    ```

    Be sure to leave a blank line before and after each comment.

2.  **Style exception**

    A *style exception* allows you to exclude text from an individual style test.

    To apply a style exception, surround the text that you do not want the linter to test with these HTML
    `comment` elements. Between these comments, the linter ignores the style test in the comment, but
    still tests for all other styles that are in use.

    ```html
    <!-- vale Style.Rule = NO -->
    <!-- vale Style.Rule = YES -->
    ```

    Replace `Style.Rule` in the comments with the style rule reference from the problem message displayed in the IDE.
    For example, imagine that you got this problem message and you want to use the word it identified as a problem.

    ```html
    Did you really mean 'inlines'?  It was not found in our dictionary. Vale(Angular.Angular_Spelling) [Ln 24, Col 59]
    Angular_Spelling.yml[Ln 1, Col 1]: View rule
    ```

    The `Style.Rule` for this message is the text inside the parentheses: `Angular.Angular_Spelling` in this case.
    To turn off that style test, use the comments shown in this example.

    ```html

    <!-- vale Angular.Angular_Spelling = NO -->

    'inlines' does not display a problem because this text is not spell-checked.
    Remember that the linter does not check any spelling in this block of text.
    The linter continues to test all other style rules.

    <!-- vale Angular.Angular_Spelling = YES -->

    ```

High school softball player fights for her biggest home run yet.
Making the varsity team as a freshman is every high school athletes dream, and fourteen-year-old Brenna was no different. Her passion for softball was evident and she was ready to take her place as the team's designated hitter.
But Brenna's softball season came to an abrupt halt when repeat headaches led to the discovery of a brain tumor and diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). With best wishes and encouragement from her teammates, Brenna underwent brain surgery on May 2, 2017, where surgeons removed a 6 millimeter-sized tumor. This was just the beginning of her journey to healing. Brenna now faces a six-month hospital stay filled with chemotherapy treatments.
It was only a few weeks post-surgery when the Angel Hair Foundation team made their way to Doernbecher Children's Hospital to delivery Brenna's Angel Hair system.
Brenna's hospital room is filled with colorful "get well" and "we love you" messages from teammates, family and friends. Fully aware of the battle in front of her and the months that will be spent in her hospital room, one can't help but see her courage shine through. She's taking the field and fighting for a full recovery. And, already looking ahead at next softball season.

Two of the most outspoken coaches in the NBA joined forces for a powerful new ad endorsing Joe Biden for president.

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and new Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers appeared in a new ad for "The Lincoln Project" on Tuesday night urging voters to vote for Biden over President Donald Trump in next week's election.
"We're at a crossroads, this country of ours, and it's time to decide where you stand," Rivers and Kerr said to start the ad. "I stand for truth over lies. I stand for equality. I categorically reject white supremacy. I believe our veterans are true American heroes, not suckers and losers."
Steve Kerr, Doc Rivers latest to endorse Joe Biden

Kerr, who has been with the Warriors since 2014 and won three titles there, has been a frequent and loud critic of Trump in recent years and has been a strong advocate for gun control, among other issues.

Rivers frequently encouraged players throughout the NBA to vote, and is a big reason for more than 90 percent of the league registering to vote — something only about 20 percent had done before this election.

They are just the latest prominent figures in the sports world to endorse Biden in the presidential race and encourage people to vote. The Seattle Storm endorsed the former vice president earlier this month as a team, and LeBron James sat down with former president Barack Obama for an episode of "The Shop" this week to address the election and other issues throughout the country.

Bubba Wallace, NASCAR's only Black driver, appeared in a new ad directly targeting Trump this week, too.
Though their political stances regarding the election weren't ever really in question, Kerr and Rivers ended the video for "The Lincoln Project" — which was founded last year by a group of republicans attempting to stop Trump from getting elected again — with a very strong, clear endorsement.
"A vote for Donald Trump is a vote against the very ideals upon which our country was founded. Our democracy itself is at stake," the two said. "So be a man. Take a good look in the mirror and decide, 'Is she worth defending?'
"We know where we stand. We stand united. We stand for the land of the free and the home of the brave. We stand with Joe Biden."

Gucci Parts Ways With Giannini in Bid to Regain Lost Exclusivity
BY BLOOMBERG 12 DECEMBER, 2014
FLORENCE, Italy — Gucci's longtime creative director Frida Giannini is leaving, a victim of her own success after her designs became too popular to retain the exclusive cachet their price tags demand.
Giannini, 42, will step down from Gucci in February after more than 12 years at the Florence, Italy-based company, the brand's owner Kering SA said today. Kering didn't name a successor, though a search is underway. Gucci chief executive officer Patrizio di Marco, Giannini's partner at home and at work, is also leaving.
The designer achieved commercial success with her floral bags and updated products from the 93-year-old brand's archives, growing sales by nearly two thirds in her tenure as Gucci pushed into new categories such as fragrances and beauty. Still, she rarely won critical acclaim. Of one collection, Women's Wear Daily said, "trends do not start here." Then-New York Times critic Cathy Horyn later wrote: "It's clear we can't expect world-creating fashion from Frida Giannini."
"Luxury is about selling a promise of exclusivity," said Luca Solca, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas. "Commercial success risks undermining brand equity."
While Giannini helped give Gucci and its double-G logos an omnipresence on streets, luxury tastes have changed and the world's wealthiest consumers switched to brands they perceived to be more exclusive like Hermes and Chanel. Gucci sales have barely grown in the past five quarters and fell in the most recent reported period, despite efforts by Giannini and Di Marco to add more leather goods and bring prices higher.
Ford, De Sole
Other brands in Kering's fashion portfolio have been more successful at perpetuating that idea, with Bottega Venetaquadrupling sales since 2006 as shoppers sought out designer Tomas Maier's signature braided leather goods. Kering and bigger rival LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA have been snapping up lesser-known designers as they seek to secure rising stars.
The Gucci shakeup is the brand's biggest since the 2004 departure of Domenico de Sole and Tom Ford, who were widely credited with reviving the storied, yet then-unprofitable family brand by adding sex appeal with things like net lingerie dresses and rhinestone heels. Giannini, then relatively unknown, succeeded Ford, initially as head of design for leather goods, before becoming sole creative director in 2006.
Shares Drop
Despite her success with bag design, she wasn't as strong on ready-to-wear, according to Armando Branchini, founder of Milan-based luxury consultant Intercorporate. Ready-to-wear "is the basis of a brand's appeal and reputation" as a trendsetter even if it accounts for a smaller portion of sales than accessories, he said. Her predecessor Tom Ford was commercially and critically successful, Branchini said. Gucci needs to rediscover that balance, particularly in terms of appealing to the "cognoscenti," he said.
Kering shares fell as much as 2.2 percent in Paris today, limiting their advance this year to 1.5 percent and the company's market value to about 20 billion euros ($25 billion).
"This was a change that was for a long time in the making," Solca said. "Di Marco and Giannini have presided over Gucci for a whole era, taking it to new heights. It is in the nature of the business that managers go, and brands remain."
{Sissy: life always changes and moves on! It was a long time coming and so it is always good to look forward to all new exciting creations ahead that Gucci will turn out.....Sissy x}

CORN GROWERS THANK SPEAKER BOEHNER FOR LEGACY OF SERVICE
Home News & Resources News Stories Corn Growers Thank Speaker Boehner for Legacy of Service
(Posted Fri. Sep 25th, 2015)
National Corn Growers Association President Chip Bowling today released the following statement regarding the retirement announcement of House Speaker John Boehner:
"We are grateful for Speaker Boehner's leadership in so many areas, including service on the House Agriculture Committee, and his work for a more transparent and productive Congress. We note this announcement comes the day after Pope Francis addressed a Joint Session of Congress, at the speaker's invitation, calling politics 'an expression of our compelling need to live as one, in order to build as one the greatest common good: that of a community which sacrifices particular interests in order to share, in justice and peace, its goods, its interests, its social life.' Speaker Boehner has always striven to live up to these words, and we hope Congress will also take this message to heart. We ask Congress to set aside partisan interests and work together to solve important issues such as the federal budget, tax reform, and investing in our roads and bridges. Let's come to the table with constructive solutions to move our country forward."

Q: sails: disable `blueprints actions` in production, since it creates a huge security footprint? Getting acquinted with Sails for Node.
One thing I need to get used to is the 'automagic' way in which routes for controller-methods are set-up using blueprints.
For example, from the docs, if actions-blueprints are enabled (which they are by default) GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE routes will be generated for every one of a controller's actions.
E.g from the docs, when you've got controlled-method EmailController.send the following routes are created:
     * `EmailController.send`
     * :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
     * `GET     /email/send/:id?`
     * `POST    /email/send/:id?`
     * `PUT     /email/send/:id?`
     * `DELETE  /email/send/:id?`

The docs specifically state: actions are enabled by default, and are OK for production-- however, you must take great care not to inadvertently expose unsafe controller logic to GET requests.
Normally I would write a controller-method for ONE specific HTTP Verb (e.g.: POST). That's clearly not compatible with this automagic wiring, since these methods would be exposed on GETs (and PUTs and DELETEs) as well, which would leave a huge security footprint imho.
So: what's the practical use of enabling these actions? To me, it seems like a huge security risk. On the other hand, I can (theoretically) imagine writing all controller methods with conditional logic to discriminate between HTTP VERBS , but for most controller methods this just doesn't make sense.
So help me out: What's the advantage of working with these actions which Sails seems to try to nudge me towards?  Or is it just a way to get going quickly, but really not meant for production?
Thanks for wrapping my head around this.

A: Action Blueprints automatically create routes to all the available controller methods. I personally turn them off, and do my routing manually.
Restful blueprints automatically generate the controller methods themselves. Which would then have routes to them created by the Action Blueprints. I believe these are the rest defaults....
 * GET      /boat/:id?      -> BoatController.find
 * POST     /boat           -> BoatController.create
 * PUT      /boat/:id       -> BoatController.update
 * DELETE   /boat/:id       -> BoatController.destroy

Q: Rearrange equation with integrating factor I'm trying to do the following in the middle of a huge question involving a differential equation - I need to rearrange this equation for t, but have no idea where to start.

First image is the Equation to rearrange
Second image is Result, that is correct with my values (the first is the one I want to rearrange to (or close to)
Any hints on where to go with this - I've tried and tried, but I end up with the integrating factor - (3t+125)^(2/3) on either one side or another.
Thankyou.

A: Combine $\frac {3t}{5} +25$ to get $\frac{3t +125}{5}$.
The 5 in the denominator is to be used for multiplying $25 + 0.6t$ such that $5(25 + 0.6t) = … = 125 + 3t = u$ for the moment.
The original is then transformed to something not that ugly. Enjoy.

Pea fibre, high in dietary fibre, is used as an additive in processed foods to increase the amount of dietary fibre, it can also be used for enrichment of diet and health foods. Due to its neutral properties, pea fibre could be used for bakery and snack products, but also in meat or health products. Its positive functionality like a high water binding capacity makes it useful for a lot of food applications. Due to its very bright colour it's useful in e. g. sponge cakes. It can bind water and support a moist bite.

I´m a huge Spotify fan, but although I have a premium account, I would like to download my music as MP3. Mostly because my car only accepts SD cards with MP3 inside (it has no bluetooth or ext-line where I could plug my phone).
Of course, there's no way to do this (it would imply legal issues for Spotify). There was a Chrome extension to download songs while the web player had no encryption, but it no longer works.
Spotify Recorder: This tool has been developed by this guy, and can be downloaded here.
Enable Stereo Mix on your sound settings, so that Spotify Recorder can find a recording device that intercepts what goes through the sound card. To do this, follow this instructions.

Q: Search in page with JavaScript Bootstrap i would build a page with Bootstrap and i would use the navbar-search form for find the searched text in the same page.
What JS script i should use for do this?
I would that for every found text in the page the script add class "lead" to the p tag like this

...

How i can do this?
Thanks.

A: As Bootstrap requires jQuery for its plugins to work, I'll use it for your solution:
If your navbar-search is a class:
$(".navbar-search").on("keyup", function () {
    var v = $(this).val();
    $(".lead").removeClass("lead");
    $("p").each(function () {
        if (v != "" && $(this).text().search(v) != -1) {
            $(this).addClass("lead");
        }
    });
});

Bear in mind that this will not look for words but for characters (so when you start typing say a, it will select both paragraphs straight away since both of them contain 'a'). If you want to search for words, you need to amend your code accordingly.
This solution is case-sensitive.
JSFiddle
So if you want to search for whole words, do this:
$(".navbar-search").on("keyup", function () {
    var v = $(this).val();
    $(".lead").removeClass("lead");
    var re = new RegExp("\\b" + v + "\\b","g")
    $("p").each(function () {
        if (v != "" && $(this).text().search(re) != -1) {
            $(this).addClass("lead");
        }
    });
});

Just bear in mind that you might want to escape your v before inserting it into the regexp if you expect people to search for something silly.

Il Quieto (in croato Mirna, in veneto Chedo) è un fiume dell'Istria, in Croazia. Nasce a sudest di Pinguente (Buzet) presso Colmo (Hum). È lungo 53 km.

Dopo Pinguente riceve gli affluenti Brazzana (Bračana) a destra e Bottonega (Bufoniga) a sinistra. Da Montona (Motovun) verso il mare il piano della valle è assai livellato e il fiume presenta una bassissima pendenza.

In epoca romana il tratto inferiore del corso era un canale marittimo navigabile. L'antica via Flavia, che collegava Trieste e Pola, superava il fiume Quieto con un ponte in località Ponte Porton.

Il Quieto fu il confine meridionale della "Zona B" del Territorio Libero di Trieste costituito nel 1947.

About a year ago, I found myself experiencing quite severe headaches. They were manageable thanks to painkillers, yet, of course they persisted. After a while they suddenly stopped, this was a relief but quite a surprise, until I realized that the stress I was experiencing was causing them. Once the stressful situation stopped, the headaches stopped.
I realized then, that the only sure fire way of resolving an issue, is to resolve or eliminate the root cause of the issue. Much like when you are weeding your garden, unless you remove the roots of the weeds, the weeds will just continue to re-grow.
Essentially, when a regularly occurring problem arises, you have to go through a causal analysis of the issue, to identify the causes of the problem and treat that, not just the symptoms. When I was only using painkillers for my headache, I was only treating the symptoms, and so, the headaches continued.
We tend to seek the easy way out when it comes to solving a problem.
As humans, we seem to prefer immediate satisfaction. When a problem arises we tend to go for the issue which will be resolved quickly. As such it is totally understandable why we tend to only treat the most obvious symptoms to the most obvious problems, then stop when we mistakenly think things are fine. We neglect probability and become blind to the most obvious causes, going for the black and white answers and immediate resolutions, without knowing, or appreciating that things are never so clear cut.
Ultimately, when we only treat the symptom, the real issue remains untreated and gets worse. I was lucky that my headaches came from a stressful situation which resolved itself (and the headaches along with it). I merely thought that I was having headaches because…I was having headaches. Were my headaches due to a severe underlying issue, or were caused by continuing stress, then they would have only got worse.
In tolerating the issue, or only treating obvious symptoms, we become at risk of normalizing the issue. Willfully allowing it to continue as we are reluctant to apply the real effort to resolve the issue through and through.
Finding the root cause can solve a problem once and for all.
Applying a root cause analysis isn't just useful for resolving personal problems, but any recurring issue or problem that might arise, in any field. Much has been written about applying causal analysis' in business, or in the workplace.
Identifying the source of a problem, and resolving it there is the only real way of making sure the problem goes away for good. But how do you identify the root cause of an issue?
In the 1970s James Reason, a cognitive psychologist called James Reason realized most human errors originated when the person making the error was working automatically, in a state of absent mindedness, and not paying true, due attention to their work.
With Reason's findings understood he became an important innovator for patient safety in the healthcare industry, as now people were more aware of the possible causes of issues (human error) and thus could eliminate the issue from the root, perhaps by improving staff awareness and staff training so no errors born from absent mindedness could occur.
But how do you go through a causal analysis?
When you intend to uncover the root cause of a problem, you need to approach the problem with three things in mind.
What exactly has happened/is happening?
With careful consideration of these three things, you should be well on your way to resolving it forever.
A root cause analysis follows the rule of cause and effect, and assumes things behind the scenes are often interlinked in interesting and surprising ways. As such, you may be surprised what may be the true cause of the problem, so you should be open minded and perhaps be prepared to dig.
Firstly the problem needs to be identified and studied in considerable detail. Ask yourself: what are the exact symptoms of the issue?
Try to collect as much data and information about the issue. Consider if there is a genuine problem, consider how long that problem has persisted, and consider the impact.
Under careful consideration, the problem's cause may begin to be clearer. If the problem affects multiple people, talk to them to get as much information as you can.
Try to identify the cause.
This can be difficult, you need to go through the exact sequence of events that led to the problem, or leads to the problem occurring. If this problem has occurred multiple times, note any similarities in the events.
Be aware of any underlining conditions which allow the issue to occur, and be aware of any other related problems which may help your analysis.It could be a good idea to break the issue down into smaller and smaller pieces into you have a clear picture of things. Or consider the cause and affect relationships which connect things.
Once the root cause has been identified ask yourself why it exists, ask yourself why it occurred. You might find it worth analyzing the casual factor itself.
Think about what can be done to the root cause. Try to think of possible solutions to it, and consider, through understanding the problem, what might occur if the root cause removed or changed.
Under consideration you may come to the ideal solution.
Pay attention, and with luck, no more work is needed.
But if the problem persists, return to the root cause and consider further solutions.
This all sounds incredibly complicated, but trust me, its not.
The trick is, to not go for the immediate resolution, but take time to reveal the solution.
