Abstract: This paper investigates properties of translation processes, as observed in the translation behaviour of student and professional translators. The translation process can be divided into a gisting, drafting and post-editing phase. We find that student translators have longer gisting phases whereas professional translators have longer post-editing phases. Long-distance revisions, which would typically be expected during post-editing, occur to the same extent during drafting as during post-editing. Further, both groups of translators seem to face the same translation problems. We suggest how those findings might be taken into account in the design of computer assisted translation tools.
Abstract: In the last decade, researchers have shown that MNCs need to reverse knowledge transfer to secure their competitiveness in the global market. Lately this has been studied through re/expatriates. This study presents two exemplary cases from a study of 64 interviews conducted in 5 of the largest Danish MNCs. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, to understand the role identity work plays in the ability and willingness of expatriates to learn and transfer knowledge. Second, to introduce Life Course Theory as an important methodological contribution with which to capture the entangled relationship between agency and structure within reverse knowledge transfer. Third, to develop and extend the current theoretical and methodological frame that govern the research of knowledge transfer. The present study indicates that institutionally generated organisational frames and work organising practices develop and feed certain power structures and communities, which influence the possibility of agency and as a result reverse knowledge transfer. The findings of this study stress that: 1) power is as an important productive force in identity work: consequently, it has the ability both to hinder and spur the processes of transformative learning and reverse knowledge transfer; 2) reverse knowledge transfer can be hindered by the lack of transformative learning in the single individual. The empirical material in this paper has been collected in the research project "Cultural Intelligence as a Strategic Resource". The project was funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council and conducted by Lisbeth Clausen, Liv Egholm Feldt, Martine Cardel Gertsen, Anne-Marie Søderberg, Verner Worm and Mette Zølner, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. The research team have had privileged access to five of the largest Danish MNCs. While the collection of material has in general been carried out by the research team, Liv Egholm Feldt is the only person responsible for the analysis, reflections and perspectives presented in this paper. To secure the anonymity of the interviewees, fictitious names have been used.

William Carlos Williams Essay
871 WordsFeb 24, 20124 Pages
Jack Benson Mrs. Phillips AP English Literature May 27th 2011 William Carlos Williams "No ideas but in things. (Williams 1)." This is a quote from William Carlos Williams, as well as his motto (Yang 2). In Williams' works he incorporates his motto into almost every poem. "No ideas but in things" simply means that Williams strives to have his reader illicit ideas through is dictional and structural imagery. Throughout his works, this ideal is presented. As William Carlos Williams' literary content becomes exponentially obscure and abstract, the syntax and style in which his works are illustrated develop in the same way.	In the Poem, "As the Cat" by William Carlos Williams, a correlation between content and syntax is apparent. The simplistic aspects of the poem reflect the poem's syntax, which has no aesthetic meaning. In William's poem, the content is simply about a cat moving, it has no abstract diction, it's not verbose, and it is purely simple, "As the cat climbed over the top of the jam closet first the right forefoot… (Poet 1)". The content of this poem is bland, dry, and without abstract detail. It much like the structure of the poem. As shown here in this quote, the syntax in which this poem is arranged is simple and even throughout, illustrating the correlation between content and structure, for both are the same. There is no shift in the content of the poem and as a result, there is no variation in style. The tone of this poem is somewhat melancholy and oblique. A drab tone reflects the drab nature of the structure in which the poem is written. Considering the facts, there is a definite association between style and content in William's poetry. The lack of aesthetic meaning in "As the Cat" further portrays the obvious link between structure and content. The content of the poem has no taste, flavor, nor any underlying

Williams Carlos Williams: Explication Of Love Song Essay
This poem's theme is love makes people crazy. The subject is a man in love, driven to near madness because of his deep desire for his lover. This is seen through Williams's flashes of imagery: "yellow, yellow, yellow it eats into the leaves, smears with saffron." Giving this imagery allows the reader to see the speaker going crazy, as flashes go throughout his mind. The yellow is symbolic of his mental state without his lover. Yellow typically symbolizes sickliness, decay, and withering. This is
William Carlos Williams Poem Essay
This poem's theme focuses on a man driven mad by love. The mood is desperate, frantic, and hungry. The tone is passionate, showing components of nervousness, wildness, and insanity. This is seen through Williams' flashes of imagery: "yellow, yellow, yellow it eats into the leaves, smears with saffron" (lines 2-4). Giving this imagery allows the reader to see the speaker going crazy, as flashes of yellow rapidly consuming leaves go throughout his mind. With the use of neutral diction, the speaker
William Carlos Williams, "The Practice" Essay
In William Carlos Williams' "The Practice", he explains the advantages and pay-offs of being both a physician and a writer. Throughout the essay, he argues the "they say" of what he does, that he cannot carry on an active and meaningful business in the medical field while simultaneously authoring books on the matter. "They" say that, as a writer, the medicine interferes, that he cannot possibly be equally interested in both professions, he simply can't devote the same amount of time and effort to
Spring and All by William Carlos Williams Essay
Spring and All William Carlos Williams expresses a theme of seeing simple things differently as death approaches in his poem Spring and All. The writer does this through writing a poem full of meaning and symbolism. The speaker of the poem is an ill or elderly person who is nearing death, and at first, sees things in a very glum way. The speaker is describing barren, muddy field and a cold wind. Then the speaker describes dead leaves and weeds. All of this feels like it has a negative connotation
Spring and All William Carlos Williams Poem Essay
William Carlos William's metaphor of the changing seasons from winter to spring in the poem "Spring and All" reveals the hopeful and anticipated arrival of a birth that represents a new beginning. "Spring and All" was published in 1923, it is said that it is a reference to historical events, such as the flu pandemic of 1919, and World War I. These events were responsible for the death of millions of people, the devastation, and the destruction that surviving civilians experienced. "Spring and All"
"Spring and All" by William Carlos Williams was not just about landscape or nature. It did describe in length the attributes of nature and natures awakening from winter but at the same time it felt like it was describing a moment of rebirth or natural birth. "They enter the new world naked, cold, uncertain of all save that they enter. All about them the cold, familiar wind" (Williams 1467) and "But now the stark dignity of entrance-Still, the profound change has come upon them: rooted, they grip
In the beginning of "The Use of Force", Williams acts like a typical doctor would be expected to act. He tries to find the reason why the little girl is in pain. The doctor is polite and calm with the family: "I smiled in my best professional manner and asking for the child's first name". Williams creates a scenario where the doctor's mind and thoughts are visible to the readers. He gets angry and furious as the little girl does not want to open her mouth so he could see if she has diphtheria
William Williams Essay
William Williams; Signer of Declaration of Independence "Then, sir, you deserve to be hanged, for not having done your duty." This was William Williams reply to Benjamin Huntington, a member of the safety for Connecticut council, when he said that he should be exempt from the gallows if Britain were to win since he did not sign the Declaration of Independence nor did he write anything bad against the British government. Williams felt so strongly for America, and against Britain, that he was
William Carlos Williams Analysis
Williams wanted to write his poems based on what he perceived to be common. In essence, he wrote about things we deal with on an every day basis. Although one of his earliest influences was someone by the name of Ezra Pound, it wasn't long before he drifted and decided to write a more innovative type of poetry that wasn't based on European tradition, but rather, American life. It is incredible how Williams conveys such large ideas into such simple poems that honestly give a first impression of being

Your Bottom Line: How Crossable Is It?
We all have them, or claim to have them. The lists of things that would spell the end of a relationship for us. This line moves and is evidenced by different things depending on the relationships that we are referring to.
For the purpose of this blog I will restrict the following to intimate/partnered relationships.
It is worth taking some time considering what that line relates to and where that line actually is. As for too many this bottom line is unspoken and often interpreted differently by the other party.
Shocking as it may appear at first glance, this difference in understanding is common, and is created and maintained for many reasons. It turns out that there is not 'common sense' nor 'common boundaries' in relationships. Clearly we all accept different things without ending relationships.
We often don't know what our bottom line is until it is crossed? This then raises the question: If you didn't know that it was your bottom line, is it reasonable to assume that your partner did? Is it reasonable to leave a relationship when your partner crossed a line that s/he did not know was there? It is fair to assume that s/he should have known that it would upset you, but it is fair to assume that s/he would have know that it was your bottom line and therefore relationship ending?
This is a far too complex question for me to answer for you. So instead I vow to encourage you to consider your bottom lines and communicate these clearly to your partner. Not in a threatening way ("I swear if you do A,B,C I will be leaving you for dead!"), but in an informative and communicative way ("I need you to know that A,B,C are deal breakers / "bottom lines" for me, and I couldn't continue in a relationship if those things happened").
This all starts with the WHAT! – What does the bottom line relate to? Is it about honesty? fidelity? respect? safety?
You also need to be clear about the WHERE. Where is the line within the spectrum of the WHAT?
If you are referring to honesty, do you mean absolute truthfulness? Are white lies relationship ending? Where do well intentioned mis-truths fit in? Surprises?
What about fidelity? Are you referring to fully fledged sexual affairs? one night stands? any physical contact? flirting? or simply an attraction to another person?
The WHAT and the WHERE of bottom lines must be clearly established and communicated with your partner. It may seem ridiculous, but couples enter therapy regularly on the verge of separation following "an incident" with one party very clear that "she crossed the line", and the other "I honestly didn't think that this would end our relationship". In most cases the 'offending party' knew that it would hurt their partner, but decided to carry on unaware that it was a bottom line.
empty threats like these just undermine the communication about your serious bottom line.
("Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay, Mira Kirshenbaum, 1997).
1. Think about your bottom line/s. Really consider truthfully what they are, as empty threats are not what we are talking about here. This is not the things you'd prefer not to happen, they are the absolutely relationship breakers.
2. Communicate these to your partner. If you expect him/her to play the game, you really should share the rules. Be calm, clear, clarify every point. Take the opportunity to find out his/her bottom lines as well (as these are your rules now too).
– Know your line and don't compromise! Once a bottom line is crossed, it is not longer a relationship you are protecting, but your self that you are sacrificing.

Setzer Wins Auto Parts 250 Truck Series
HANK KURZ Jr.
AP Sports Writer
Dennis Setzer passed Chad Chaffin with 51 laps to go Saturday and held on through a series of late restarts to win the Advance Auto Parts 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.
The victory was the 100th for Chevrolet in the series.
Setzer, the defending champion, earned his ninth career victory and became the first driver to win twice on tight, narrow Martinsville Speedway, where the close quarters helped produce 11 caution flags.
"I think the trucks were built for tracks like this," he said.
Setzer beat pole-sitter Ted Musgrave's Dodge to the checkered flag by .947 seconds, and had smooth sailing to the finish after pulling away on a restart with 15 laps to go as everyone behind him fought for position.
"It was pretty good for us to get those lapped cars on the inside," he said. "The package is good right now. We just hope we can keep rolling."
Musgrave wasn't surprised by the outcome.
"He's the man here at Martinsville," Musgrave said of Setzer, who won last year after starting 33rd of 36 trucks. "I knew he was going to be the man to beat, and it showed. He can win from anywhere in a truck here."
Setzer stopped for fuel, tires and adjustments after about 100 laps, but spent most of the race fighting because his truck was too tight.
"We struggled about the first half of the race, maybe the first two thirds," he said. "There were about 50, 60 to go and that thing started turning and driving up out of the corner. It was a different truck."
Kevin Harvick rallied to finish third in his Chevrolet even after being penalized a lap for missing his pit stall, rookie Carl Edwards was fourth in his Ford and points leader Bobby Hamilton was fifth in a Dodge.
Chaffin, who was battling Musgrave and Harvick for second on the final restart, ran out of gas with five laps to go and finished 26th.
Hamilton remained the points leader, 39 ahead of Rick Crawford.
Darrell Waltrip, a three-time Winston Cup champion making his second truck start at Martinsville and fourth in the series, finished seventh. He moved into the top 10 late after racing most of the day in the second 10.
Waltrip, who won 11 times in the Winston Cup series on the .526-mile oval, said he races to learn things he can use as a broadcaster, and to let the younger drivers know that he once was pretty good himself.
"Think about this: Jon Wood is what, 20 years old?" he said. "And I'm out there and I'm outrunning him and he looks up there and says, `That guy is 56 years old, and if he's this good now, he must have been really good when he was my age.' That's part of it too, you know, to show some of those kids that didn't get to race against me that I was pretty good."
Waltrip also joked that he'd worked hard "for the last three days, actually," to get ready to race, and cut his candy intake in half.
"I could have run another 25, 30 laps before hollering for help."

Understanding the ACCA Examiners report can be beneficial for students who have failed their latest ACCA but it can also be used a preventive measure and analysed before taking any ACCA exam to make sure you don't fall into the same pitfalls as other students.
After each exam sitting the ACCA will release an examiners report for every paper in the qualification. So you will see four examiners report each year per paper.
Specific comments addressing each question in the same and highlighting the common mistakes made and things that were done well.
It's a free resource that is provided by the ACCA and the constructive feedback should be taken on board and will go some way into helping you pass your next ACCA exam.
The general comments will go through how the exam was structured and what types of questions the students could expect.
Below is an extract of the general comments made by the ACCA examiner for the F5 Performance Management paper that was sat in June 2016.
In general, performance on Section A of the exam was significantly better than on Section B.
It is a good idea to do this section of the paper first to build your confidence before tackling the written questions. Make sure that you do not spend more than the allotted time on this section of the paper. It is better to move on and then come back at the end if you have time.
These general tips and comments should be noted by students who will be taking the exam next time and it's a good idea to print out or open a copy of the exam paper in question so you can align the exam paper against the examiners report.
To pass the ACCA examinations, it's beneficial to really understand why previous students went wrong and not make the same mistakes. The specific comments section on the exam report is a great to do this.
The example below shows the F5 Performance Management paper from June 2016 and addresses question 1 on section b.
This was a variance question examining the area of sales planning and operational variances (market size and market share). Part (a) was calculative and part (b) was discursive.
This question was poorly answered. For part (a) it was necessary to first of all work out the revised sales quantities and the standard contributions for both products. This probably wouldn't have been a huge problem but many candidates didn't appear to know that these variances are a breakdown of the sales volume variance and instead worked out planning and operational variances for price. Others, that did know this, used actual contribution rather than standard contribution.
As you can see, the examiner points out that this question was poorly answered by many students and gives the reasons why students made mistake on the variance question.
By going back to the question paper, answering the question yourself and then aligning it with the examiners report you will be in a good position to pass similar questions when sitting the exam yourself.
You can find the examiners guides on the ACCA F5 Performance Management paper here. And the full list of examiners reports can be found under each paper on the ACCA website.


I would have to say my biggest personal accomplishment was taking care of my young children(being a young mother) working full time, and going to college full time. Graduating high in my class with my Bachelor of Business Management. I wanted my kids to be proud to have such a hard working mother, so I did everything I could to make that happen.
I am most proud of my 10 years of military service. The lessons, values, and experiences I learned through the military have made me the person I am today. Serving a year in the middles east, away from friends and family showed me how to place value on things that we take for granted. Meeting new and diverse groups of people taught me how to be patient and tolerant of all walks of life.
As Executive Director of the Laramie Soup Kitchen, I have the opportunity to evaluate operations, expand services, streamline efforts, and develop new policies. Organizational skills, process engineering, and cost/benefit analysis are strengths that I often employ wherever I am involved.
I am most proud of my efforts to date in driving economic development efforts on UW's campus and therefore, in our Laramie community. We have gone from 7 student ideas a year to over 190 students participating in our competition/programming with continued growth!
The greatest personal accomplishment that I am most proud of is my education. I am a first generation college student and have received my undergraduate degree from UW and my graduate degrees from Johns Hopkins and St. Joseph's Universities.
Spending my entire career in the nonprofit sector has been so influential for me, and I would say my biggest achievement has been helping to connect philanthropy-minded individuals to the causes they care most about, whether locally or across Wyoming. Although this is part of my job, I take great pride and joy out of helping others achieve their philanthropic goals.
Hands down - my family. I was able to attend my oldest daughter's open house last week and on the first day of school they created a newspaper to share with others a little bit about themselves. My daughter listed me as her hero - which of course is sweet - but the reason being was that because I went and got my Master's degree and that I am a boss of an agency that helps kids.
Personally, I am most proud of my kids. They keep me on my toes and they crack me up daily. I'm excited that Laramie is our home and that we're raising them in such a wonderful community. The professional accomplishment I'm most proud of is defining and creating the UniWyo Brand and having all our employees define themselves as Brand Ambassadors.
Learning how to become a working artist and balance studio work with income work. Creating a career in the arts that I love even though I did not come from an arts background.
Earning my Ph.D. overseas! I was a doctoral student in World Art Studies at the University of East Anglia, so I was very fortunate to live, study and work in England for several years. After I graduated, I brought my experiences and new global perspectives back to Wyoming and found new ways to contribute to UW and my community.
I am proud that I have the ability to balance a family life, being a mother of three amazing children, with a full-time career and opportunities for community involvement. I am proud of the relationships I have built both personally and professionally, and the support I have from those partners to support my endeavors.
I would have to claim my Doctorate of Physical Therapy and passing the national boards as being my proud personal accomplishment. This was a lengthy 7 year commitment, but a worthwhile decision nonetheless. It has provided me with not only financial stability, but has given me the opportunity to help others on a day to day basis and become more engrained in the Laramie community.
One of the things I'm most proud of is the work I've done with the Wyoming Art Party. That said, this is the collective accomplishment that I'd like to share with Meg Thompson and Adrienne Vetter.
Without a doubt, I am most proud of my accomplishments as an entrepreneur. I opened my first business at 23 and was able to partner with incredibly talented vendors and publishers across the country over the years.
I am most proud of being the President of Friends of Community Recreation and my role in helping to develop and shape it into what it is today. Our organization works to help everyone who is in financial need pay for their recreational requests. My goal is to reach as many people as I can while inspiring others to create a devoted community with a willingness to help one another.
I am proud of the work I have done in hiring, setting up the culture, and training the Pete Lien & Sons plant work force, commissioning of our plant and being promoted into the Plant Manager role at our Laramie location. Being a young professional causes reservation in initial given responsibilities and I'm proud of the fact that I was able to overcome and prove out the role entrusted in me.
I am passionate about mentorship. As a manager at Trihydro, I have mentored several college students and young professionals, this is my most rewarding achievement. One of the many accomplishments that I'm proud of is being a catalyst for a mentoring program at Trihydro. I created and implemented the first mentoring program within Trihydro.
I often am not and advocate of mixing my professional life and personal life, but it is often a welcome side effect in my line of work. Along that line, the relationships I have developed are by far my greatest accomplishment. I have always thought, the more I knew a person, the more qualified I was to identify their needs, their families needs, and it was my personal responsibility.
Completion of two years of pharmacy residency training, specializing in oncology, has allowed me to care for and serve my patients at the highest level possible and I feel so blessed to serve as an educator for both my patients and the pharmacy students that I teach and mentor.
My greatest personal accomplishment is obtaining my CPA license. I was a first generation college student who didn't really know what they wanted to do in business but found that accounting was very appealing to me. I quickly change my major from business administration and the rest is history.


You don't need boring old Jello to make Jello shots! Here's how to use agar agar to make delicious vegan jello shots!
Gelatin is not vegan. It's not even vegetarian! Conventional gelatin is made from ground up bones and tendons. YUM! Some folks have told me that Kosher gelatin is vegan, but from what I've read it's derived from dead fish.
Luckily, you don't need powered bones to make a jelly dessert. You can just grab some agar agar and get to it!
Confession: I am not a big booze-drinker. At most parties, I'd much rather stick to beer or wine. The way to get me to do the booze thing is to hide it in desserts, so when my friend Kip said that she wanted to make grown-up vegan jello shots for her birthday party, I was all in!
We made root beer shoots and cosmopolitan ones, and we learned some lessons. For the cosmo shots, we used exactly the amount of agar that the recipe called for. For the root beer ones, we doubled it. The cosmo ones came out OK, but they were a little bit soft. The root beer ones….I think I'm still chewing the root beer one that I tried. The lesson: use one and a half times the amount of agar agar! Here are the recipes we used (adapted from Jelly Shot Test Kitchen), adjusted accordingly.
You don't need boring old Jello to make Jello shots! Here's how to use agar agar to make delicious vegan jello shots!
In a small saucepan, heat half of the cranberry juice and lime juice with the agar agar, until it's simmering. Stir for a few minutes, until the agar agar is fully dissolved.
Quickly add the rest of the juices, stir, then add your booze.
Pour the mixture into a square pan and chill for a few hours, until everything is gelatinized.
Flip your jello shots onto a flat surface, like a cutting board, and slice them into cubes. Grate some lime zest over them, and you're ready to serve!
The Vegan Cosmopolitan Jello Shots does not state a unit for the agar agar powder. Is it teaspoons, cups? Thanks.
Oops! That's teaspoons. I'll fix it up. Thank you!
what is the shelf-life of agar agar gels? If they were sealed how long could I make them in advance?
Ooh that's a good question. We made them a day ahead, so I'm not sure beyond that.
Hi. Alcohol is antiseptic but the gel itself contains a lot of free water, that is, water that bacteria or fungus/mold could use to grow. I think a shot like this could taste fresh for at least three days, maybe longer, and probably won't actually spoil for weeks because of the alcohol. You could probably also freeze them, where they'll keep for months (assuming they're packed really, really airtight). They will pick up flavors from other things in the fridge….
Hi, I'm wondering if the "t" after the measurement for the agar powder is supposed to mean teaspoon or tablespoon.
It stands for teaspoon. 🙂 Happy shot-making!
Ohmygoodness vegan jello shots! I love it! I actually had my first jello shot the other day at a wine festival–I guess it was wine shot? (I was rather sloshed by the time we had that…hmm…)–and I'm loving your take on it. And I'm so breaking out the agar agar because real gelatin still gives me the shivvers.
Wine shot! That sounds so good! Maybe with a bit of lime or something? I'm not sure if wine on its own would gel – you might have to experiment. Alcohol is tricky. Let me know how it goes!
Don't ask me why *this* is the thing that caused me to do more reading, but I poked around and kosher gelatin is absolutely NOT vegan as a matter of course. There are some versions made with carrageenan, agar-agar, etc, but they also make it with collagen, a mammal product (and there are fish versions too).
I'm going to have to stop reading about it now, because this is the same kind of rabbit hole that led me to spend an hour and a half researching the Amish not too long ago.
Even grosser than I thought! Thanks for going down the rabbit hole!

Can a Thief Intercept the Radio Signal of Your Garage Door Opener?
September 25, 2015 | jennifer
Transcript from ABC News:
Tonight, new concerns raised by a small device that can help thieves gain easy access to homes. It's called a code grabber and if you use a remote control to open your garage door, you could be a perfect target. Here's ABC's Phillip Mena. Watch this surveillance video of an alleged bandit sneaking into this family's garage.
"My stomach flipped. I was like, somebody was in our garage."
Reporter: Moments later, the accused thief riding away with their son's bike.
"There's people walking around in the middle of the night, wanting to see what they can get their hands on."
Reporter: But Devin Durst says it's not what they stole from him, but how he stole it. Look in the man's hand. Durst believes that's a device the thief used to remotely open his garage door. Police haven't confirmed the claim but are investigating the break-in.
"I mean, there is some kind of a clicker or something. He was even ducking down to come in when it was raising up."
Reporter: Security experts say they're devices called code grabbers to intercept the radio signal of your garage door opener. Then while you are gone, they use the code to open the door.
"I don't think people should be scared. For one thing, I think there is going to be concerted effort in the industry to make this better."
Reporter: Still experts say it's wise to upgrade.
"You need to have a newer garage door opener that changes the code every time you use it. That still doesn't mean that it's impossible, but it makes it a lot harder."

Common Garage Door Issues: Broken Garage Door Opener


Fresh and smooth moisturising cream. Reduces redness and improves microcirculation in sensitive, reactive and Rosacea (Couperose) prone skin.
With SPF 12 sunscreens, it protects the Rosacea-prone skin against UV radiation and free radicals, thus preventing the worsening of sensitive, reactive and Rosacea-prone skin.
It also has substances with protective and anti-oxidant action that intervene in the processes of normal skin regeneration.
Its green hue lets you hide unesthetic red spots.

Q: Force CMake/VisualStudio to use static libs of Boost.Python I'm currently trying to build on Windows (with Intel compiler) a big project compiling very well on UNIX with CMake. Here is a reduced simple example of my problem.
Running the following simple example of code using Boost.Python :
#include <iostream>
#include <Python.h>
#include <boost/python.hpp>

int main()
{
    std::string python_home = "C:\\softs\\python\\2.7.9\\64";
    char* python_home_char = new char[python_home.length() + 1];
    strcpy(python_home_char, python_home.c_str());
    Py_SetPythonHome(python_home_char);
    Py_Initialize();

    boost::python::object pyobj_main = boost::python::import("__main__");
    boost::python::object glob = pyobj_main.attr("__dict__");
    boost::python::exec("print \"Hello from Python\"", glob, glob);

    Py_Finalize();

    return 0;
}

I get the following error message when executing the code :

The program can't start because boost_python-iw-mt-1_57.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Note that I don't have the error if a remove the 3 lines boost::python::*** at the end of the code. Also, I don't have any error if I compile the following example using Boost.Thread (In my mind, it also use libraries (not header only), is it right ?) :
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

boost::mutex mutex_hello;
void hello(unsigned long int thread_number)
{
    boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock_hello(mutex_hello);
    std::cout << "Hello from thread " << thread_number << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
    boost::thread_group group;
    for(unsigned long int i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
        group.create_thread(boost::bind(hello, i + 1));
    group.join_all();

    return 0;
}

Actually, I don't want to use shared libraries, I want my executable more static as possible.
I build this code with the following CMake file :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.9)

# Project
project(TestBoost)
enable_language(C)
enable_language(CXX)
enable_language(Fortran)

# Compiler info
if(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME STREQUAL "Windows")
    set(CompilerName "${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID}")
    set(CompilerVersion "${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_VERSION}")
    if(CMAKE_CL_64)
        set(CompilerArch "64")
    else()
        set(CompilerArch "32")
    endif()
endif()
string(TOLOWER "${CompilerName}" CompilerName)
if("${CompilerVersion}" MATCHES "([0-9]+\\.[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+)\\..*")
    string(REGEX REPLACE "([0-9]+\\.[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+)\\..*" "\\1" CompilerVersion "${CompilerVersion}")
endif()

# Libs
set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES .lib .a ${CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES})

# Intel
if(CompilerName STREQUAL "intel")
    string(REGEX REPLACE "(.*)/bin/.*" "\\1" IntelPath "${CMAKE_C_COMPILER}")
    if(CompilerArch STREQUAL "32")
        set(IntelArchStr "ia32")
    elseif(CompilerArch STREQUAL "64")
        set(IntelArchStr "intel64")
    endif()
    set(Compiler_LIBRARY_DIRS "${IntelPath}/compiler/lib/${IntelArchStr}")
endif()

# Boost
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/softs/boost/1.57.0/${CompilerArch}/${CompilerName}/${CompilerVersion}")
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREAD ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS ON)
set(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "1.57.0" "1.57")
find_package(Boost 1.57.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS thread system filesystem python)

# Python
set(PythonPath C:/softs/python/2.7.9/${CompilerArch})
set(Python_INCLUDE_DIRS ${PythonPath}/include)
set(Python_LIBRARY_DIRS ${PythonPath}/libs)
set(Python_LIBRARIES python27)

# Executable
include_directories(SYSTEM ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Python_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS} ${Python_LIBRARY_DIRS} ${Compiler_LIBRARY_DIRS})
add_executable(test_boost test_boost.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test_boost ${Boost_LIBRARIES} ${Python_LIBRARIES})

I run this CMake script with an initial entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET set to Intel C++ Compiler XE 14.0, and specifying Intel compiler as native compiler. I have no error or warning while running CMake on it (see the log below). This generates a file TestBoost.sln. When loaded in Visual Studio Professional 2013, I change the compilation type to Release and modify the linker options of the target test_boost to add /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT (workaround due to a bug in CMake). Then I compile without any error.

How can I force the compilation to use only static libraries ? I thought it was the case with the options in the CMake file. Moreover, it's working with the example using threads...
Maybe something is wrong in the installation of Boost.Python ?

A: When using Boost.Python, the default configuration is dynamic linking.  To force static linking, define BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB in the compilation.  Consider either:

*

*Add add_definitions(-DBOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB) within CMake

*Add #define BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB before including boost/python.hpp

*Add #define BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB in boost/config/user.hpp

Boost.Python is an exception to the Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS CMake variable.  The FindBoost documentation notes:

On Visual Studio and Borland compilers Boost headers request automatic linking to corresponding libraries. [...] Boost automatic linking typically requests static libraries with a few exceptions (such as Boost.Python).

Unfortunately, the BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB option is neither listed in the Boost user settable options, Choosing a Boost.Python Library Binary, nor Boost.Python Configuration Information documentation.

A few other recommendations given your example code:

*

*Per Boost.Python's embedding documentation, do not invoke Py_Finalize().  Some internal Boost.Python objects will remain alive during Py_Finalize(), and only attempt to be deleted when Boost.Python unloads, causing the objects to attempt deletion with a non-existent interpreter.

*Do not directly include, python.h.  If you must, consider including boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp instead.

*Do not include any system headers before python.h (or the Boost.Python files).  This restriction is imposed by Python (see here).

The latter two recommendations documented in the #include issues section.

A: It seems like you have a problem with finding dll's on your machine. As a temporary fix, you can try to rename your .dll file to .pyd.

James Blake, né James Litherland le  à Londres, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète, multi-instrumentiste et producteur britannique.

Au cours de sa carrière, il a contribué au travail de production d'artistes tels que Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rosalía, Frank Ocean ou Travis Scott.

Il a remporté un Mercury Prize après deux nominations, un Grammy Award après cinq nominations, et a été nommé à trois reprises aux Brit Awards.

Biographie

Jeunesse
James Blake est le fils unique du guitariste James Litherland, le morceau The Wilhelm Scream est d'ailleurs une reprise de celui-ci, et d'une graphiste.

Enfant il s'adonne au piano classique et étudie les partitions d'Art Tatum, D'Angelo, Stevie Wonder et de Jimi Hendrix qu'il admire. Mais la révélation vient en 2007 lors d'une soirée au Plastic People à Shoreditch où James Blake, encore adolescent, entend pour la première fois du dubstep "je suis arrivé à la musique électronique grâce au dubstep [...] je voulais imiter ce que j'entendais et le seul moyen de le faire, c'était de se procurer Logic et un ordinateur et de commencer à faire des beats [...] et ensuite j'ai commencé à utiliser ma voix et à incorporer des petits bouts de samples où je chantais".

Il choisira son nom d'artiste en référence au peintre britannique William Blake.

Débuts (2009-2010)
En , James Blake commence sa dernière année d'études musicales à Goldsmiths University of London. Il enregistre Air & Lack Thereof en , dans sa chambre. L'Extended play (EP) retient l'attention du très influent DJ Gilles Peterson sur BBC Radio 1, qui le convie à faire un mix spécial dans son émission, dont un enregistrement avec le duo Mount Kimbie.

En 2010 sort l'EP intitulé CMYK puis le morceau Limit to Your Love en novembre qui se classe 39ème en Angleterre.

Vie personnelle
James Blake a été en couple avec Theresa Wayman, la chanteuse du groupe américain Warpaint. Depuis 2014, il est en couple avec l'actrice Jameela Jamil.

Blake habitait à Camberwell, un quartier de Londres mais depuis 2014 il vit à Los Angeles.

Carrière

James Blake (2011)

Son premier album éponyme est sorti le  au Royaume-Uni. Un . « Blake prend un malin plaisir à découper et re-séquencer les sons et  à trafiquer sa voix à loisir pour un résultat déconcertant, futuriste et souvent envoûtant. Son travail d'orfèvre s'attache essentiellement aux textures. Et s'articule autour du silence, élément capital ».

Le , il est  nominé au Mercury Music Prize 2011 pour son premier album éponyme  et l'année suivante au BRIT Awards dans la catégorie meilleur artiste masculin.

Le  apparait un EP Enough Thunder composé de six titres, dont une collaboration avec Bon Iver (Fall Creek Boys Choir) et d'une reprise très soul du titre de Joni Mitchell, A Case Of You. L'album James Blake et cet EP seront par la suite fusionnés pour une réédition de l'album.

Overgrown (2012 – 2013)

Son deuxième album, Overgrown, sort en  et . James Blake collabore avec Brian Eno (sur le morceau Digital Lion) et RZA (Take A Fall For Me) pour ce nouvel opus.

The Bachelorette in Tahiti — Reality Vs. Reality TV
As Ali Fedotowsky's search for love culminates in Tahiti next Monday (August 2, 2010) on the season finale of The Bachelorette, the scenery is just as easy on the eyes as her remaining two suitors: Chris and Roberto. And as someone who has been lucky enough to visit this island paradise not once but three times, I can tell you that there has been no digital trickery or special effects to make Taha'a and Bora Bora (shown above; photo courtesy of Tahiti Tourisme) ready for their close-ups. These islands of French Polynesia are as postcard-perfect as they look – a total romance package for water-loving couples. Here's the scoop on where Ali stayed and played and, hopefully, fell in love.
Taha'a Frank's confession and tearful departure on Episode 9 (air date July 19, 2010) may have left Ali feeling blue, but her first two overnight dates at Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa, were nothing to boo-hoo about: She was swept off of her feet by both Chris and Roberto at one of Tahiti's most luxurious retreats (shown at right; photo courtesy of Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa), where rates start at $763/night. The episode showcased the 60-suite resort's incredible location on private Motu Tau Tau off of the "Vanilla Island" Taha'a, with panoramic views of Bora Bora in the distance.
Guests can choose from Overwater Bungalows (where Ali had her date with Roberto) or Beach Villas with Private Pools (where she had her date with Chris – shown at left; photo courtesy of Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa). There are plenty of secluded spots for private dips and dinners. And the two excursions, with Roberto via helicopter to heart-shaped Motu Tupai and with Chris on a catamaran to swim and find pearls in oysters (I suspect the oysters were planted by the producers as most pearls in Tahiti are grown on oyster farms and not found near the beach), can be arranged by the resort's concierge.
Tahiti Tourisme's website lists a variety of packages, including the "Taha'a Dream Escape," inspired by The Bachelorette, which includes round-trip airfare for two from Los Angeles, interisland airfare for two, one night on Tahiti at Manava Suites Resort, four nights at Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa, daily breakfast for two, and a 30-minute massage for two, from $2,499 per person.
Bora Bora There really are few places in the world as stunningly beautiful as this emerald green island surrounded by a shimmering blue lagoon. Flying into Bora Bora's tiny airport past towering Mt. Otemanu truly takes your breath away. There are now more than a dozen resorts to choose from, but for The Bachelorette finale, airing next Monday, Ali and her guys settled into the Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa. The resort (shown at right; photo courtesy of Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa) is suspended over a particularly spectacular – and Tahitians say sacred – section of the lagoon on the far side of a scenic motu and features 122 bungalows (with rates starting at $540/night), some tucked on the lush hillside and others hovering over the azure lagoon (shown below; photo courtesy of Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa).
The Final Rose Ceremony appears to take place at the gorgeous hilltop Nui Spa with its 360-degree panorama of the lagoon and Mt. Otemanu. Will Ali choose Chris or Roberto? We'll all have to wait a few days to find out. In the meantime, you have until this Sunday, August 1, 2010, to enter ABC's "The Bachelorette Tahitian Getaway Sweepstakes" for a chance to win an eight-night trip (four nights at both resorts featured on the show), plus round-trip airfare for two on Air Tahiti Nui, plus lots of romantic extras. If you don't win, you can book the Hilton's "Bora Bora For Lovers Package," which features five nights in an Overwater Villa, a Motu Tapu Escape and Private Picnic, daily breakfast and airport boat transfers, from $4,995 for two.

Free to fall by Lauren Miller
Sixteen year old Aurora "Rory" Vaughn has just been accepted to the Theden Academy, a unique high school that offers it graduating students the chance to do almost anything. Being accepted is a dream come true for Rory, a chance at a bright future free of the constraints of her modest family income. What Rory didn't know was that her mother also went the Theden Academy, something Rory only discovers because she chooses to go, if she had chosen to stay in Seattle she would never have known about the connection between her new school and her mother. Going to Theden means leaving behind her best friend Beck and all she has ever known, but it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Life at Theden is liberating and challenging, the teachers expect them to be grown up in their choices and decisions and grant them a great deal of freedom - but that freedom also comes with a few strings. Rory quickly discovers that she is an anomaly even among the exceptional bright and gifted students at Theden. Most of the students excel in three or four areas, but as a Hepta Rory excels in all areas and that brings the unwanted attention of some people. As Rory settles into the routine at Theden she begins to hear the voice that should have faded away with her childhood, the voice of The Doubt, and each time she hears that voice Rory worries that she may be slipping into madness like her mother.
Walking a knife edge of worry, Rory tries to stay on the straight and narrow, but that is easier said than done. While exploring the local town with her room mate Hershey Rory meets North and discovers that she has led a rather sheltered life. North avoids Lux and a lot of the trappings of the modern world, and it is through his eyes that Rory begins to understand some of the dangers lurking under the mundane and normal world she has always know. When Rory uncovers a shocking secret she begins a race against time to stay alive long enough to uncover the entire secret and the people involved - before they decide to silence her in a quiet and convenient way. In a world where Lux helps you make all the decisions, Rory is making the dangerous choice to think for herself and she wants people to have the same choice, but there are people in power who will stop at nothing to keep that from happening.
Free to fall is an intense psychological thriller, a mystery wrapped around an adrenaline ride of conspiracies, self doubt, and self discovery. Through Rory's eyes we are introduced to a world set slightly in our future where people have hand held devices that contain their lives - identification money, information - and the Lux app makes all the decisions for them based on their choices and preferences. Life can be very easy with Lux, you can focus on living your life rather than making choices, and everyone uses it so you fit in with everyone else if you consult Lux. There are a few weird people who don't use Lux, and there are those people who have dropped out of society, but on the whole people live their lives guided and connected by their hand helds. Of course no society is perfect, and in this society The Doubt is a voice that prevents people from reaching their potential, a condition that becomes a serious mental illness if The Doubt survives into adulthood - or does it?
It is unusual to find a book that seems so clearly identifiable as part of a genre (dystopian in this case) that defies the conventions of the genre by being more than it appears on the surface. When I picked up Free to fall and realised it was 469 pages long I almost put it down again because I wasn't really in the mood for a long read, but having read and enjoyed Miller's last book Parallel I thought I would give it a chance - and I am so glad I did because I ended up devouring the book in just over a day (it would have been less if I hadn't been interrupted by the need to work and sleep).
There are a series of complex layers to Free to fall that make it a complete world and one that absorbs you completely - the characters are believable, the world is close enough to ours to be believable, and the mystery/thriller element is deftly executed. This is a complex story, but not so complex that you can not keep track of what is happening and there are enough twists and turns to keep it believable. A thoroughly engrossing and mind blowing read, and it makes you wonder if there is already a company out there like the one in the book - conspiracy theorists would likely agree there is!

"Extreme Weight Loss" Former Cast Member Finds New Calling at University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center After Emotional Transformation
Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) September 12, 2014
Bruce Pitcher, cast member from season four of the ABC series "Extreme Weight Loss," is now taking on the role of motivational coach for Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, Colo. "Extreme Weight Loss" is produced for ABC by Eyeworks USA.
"I'm thrilled to serve these brave individuals as they embark on their transformational journey," says Pitcher. "To adopt a new mindset and new habits isn't easy, but Holly Wyatt, MD and James O. Hill from the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will guide them through this journey with the best practices for a lifetime of success. I feel I can contribute in a meaningful way as a former obese person. I am just part of a much bigger team."
Pitcher, who lost 201 pounds during his 365-day transformation in 2013, is a native of Utah and a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of his father. Regardless of his life struggles, Pitcher is no stranger to being a positive influence on others. When he graduated from Orem high school in Provo, Utah in 2002, he was recognized for his motivational skills and positive influence, and was hired as an assistant football coach at neighboring Timpview High School. Despite being surrounded by athletes, Pitcher continued to gain weight through the years due to the unresolved issues in his life.
"Each person I meet with weight issues has a life-story of struggle that has put them where they are today: fighting negativity, insecurity, self-loathing and other internal issues that keep them from realizing their true potential," says Chris Powell, transformation specialist from the ABC television show, "Extreme Weight Loss." "It's about cutting through all of that and finding the real person inside who is waiting to emerge. No one can help do that better than Bruce, who has lived it and came through a hero!"
Today, Pitcher, perceived by many as a leader not only in weight loss, but also in transformation, has quickly gained thousands of fans and followers on social media. His life journey as a survivor of abuse struck a chord with many viewers when it was shared on his episode of "Extreme Weight Loss" that aired June 24, 2014.Follow Bruce on Twitter and Facebook.
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp will be under the direction of Holly Wyatt, MD. Wyatt is the medical director for the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center and for the "Extreme Weight Loss" television show. She is a guiding force, along with series trainers and transformation specialists Chris and Heidi Powell, in helping the show's participants safely lose weight and change their mindsets.
"Many of the changes these people make have nothing to do with diet or exercise," said Wyatt. "We know the most challenging part is developing a new way of thinking so you are successful at keeping the weight off long-term."
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp attendees will participate in daily sessions of physical activity, self-discovery exercises and nutrition education. Each also will receive body composition, personalized nutritional analysis and comprehensive wellness assessments. The program is based on principles outlined in State of Slim, a book written by Wyatt and James O. Hill, PhD, executive director of the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center.
"We have 20 years of experience and science backing up the principles we share," said Wyatt. "In addition to looking at nutrition and fitness, we will assess body composition, individual metabolic fitness, as well as sleep and stress levels to give participants a look at what they already do well and what they might need to work on."
Dr. Holly Wyatt and Bruce Pitcher are available for interviews on request.

Spelmans drop privacy bid over Star steroids story
By PA Media Lawyer Twitter
The family of Cabinet minister Caroline Spelman decided not to appeal against a judge's refusal to continue a privacy injunction to protect their teenage rugby-playing son Jonathan – allowing the Daily Star Sunday and other media to reveal that he had taken banned susbtances to aid his recovery from injury.
Daily Star Sunday editor Gareth Morgan said the original ruling was a victory for press freedom and said that Spelman family and sought to "silence the press using their wealth and privilege".
Mrs Spelman and her husband, Mark, said in a joint statement that Jonathan, a former England under-16 rugby player, took the drugs, reported to be steroids, in an attempt to speed up his recovery from a serious injury.
The drugs are not illegal.
The couple said: "Our son, who was then aged 16, was injured in September 2011 and took some widely available drugs in order to aid his recovery. The substances are, however, banned under anti-doping rules.
"He has made a voluntary statement to the RFU and is now subject to their disciplinary process, which is still ongoing.
"Our son knows that taking a banned substance can never, ever be right and he is deeply sorry for the mistakes he has made and is determined to learn from them.
"We will do everything we can to support him as he faces the consequences of his actions. He is still very young and we hope he can be given space to do that."
Jonathan went on the internet to find medication after suffering a serious leg injury he feared would end his rugby playing career.
The 17-year-old was forced to miss out on a trial with England after doctors told him his recovery could take nine months.
He was originally granted the order preventing the publication of the revelations in the Daily Star Sunday by Mr Justice Lindblom at a private hearing last month.
The judge said the information, which was leaked to the newspaper, attracted a reasonable expectation of privacy and publication would not advance the public interest.
But on 24 February, Mr Justice Tugendhat concluded that it was "not necessary or proportionate" to continue the injunction.
The order remained in place until 4pm on Friday to give the 17-year-old, who was suing through his parents, the opportunity to ask the Court of Appeal for permission to challenge the judge's decision.
The action left the Spelman family with legal costs of at least £60,994.
In his ruling, Mr Justice Tugendhat had said his decision not to continue the injunction until any trial – which would not have been before May – was not a "licence" to the Express Newspapers group or anyone else to publish whatever they chose, or indeed anything at all.
Gareth Morgan, Daily Star Sunday editor, said the newspaper was "bitterly disappointed" the Spelman family had pursued an injunction.
He said: "The Daily Star Sunday is delighted that common sense has prevailed and this story can now be reported.
"The use of banned substances by an elite athlete is a matter that is in the public interest and an injunction to hush up the facts should never have been sought.
"We remain bitterly disappointed that the Spelman family went down this route and attempted to silence the press using their wealth and influence, an option unavailable to ordinary members of the public.
"Again, we thank Mr Justice Tugendhat for the judgment he handed down last week, a judgment which remains a great victory for press freedom."

Federal regulations limit driving time, or hours of service, for drivers of any vehicles that fit at least one of these descriptions. Commercial cargo drivers are allowed to drive about an hour more each day than are commercial passenger drivers, but the intent of the regulations for both types of drivers is to reduce driver fatigue. To enforce the regulations, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in June 2015 increased the fines and penalties charged to carriers—and, potentially, their employees—who violate FMCSA regulations, including HOS rules. The maximum penalty for HOS violations rose from $11,000 to $16,000.
Form and manner violations: Nearly three-quarters of HOS violations fall into this category. Essentially, these violations mean a driver failed to fill in all of the required blanks on the records form. It is purely clerical.
"Not current" violations: Drivers often wait until the end of the day to complete their HOS records. If they get inspected at a truck scale, they incur a violation for failing to record their last change-of-duty status entry. It is, again, clerical.
No record of duty status and failing to retain previous seven days' logs: Like the "not current" violations, this is clerical and ranks among the most common HOS violations. Drivers either have not yet filled out their forms or have but do not have the forms for the last week of driving with them.
Driving beyond time violations: Truck drivers are allowed to be behind the wheel for 11 hours a day but must do that driving within a 14-hour duty period. Exceeding those limits results in a fine, even if the limit was exceeded by just a few minutes. Among the most common limits violations is when a driver has not driven for 11 hours in a day but exceeds his 14-hour window in which to drive 11 hours.
False records violations: Falsifying logs is a serious violation and generally results in fines. This often arises from drivers not completing their logs as they drive. Waiting until the end of the week invariably will result in errors.
The main danger from HOS violations is, of course, driver fatigue. If a driver is falsifying records in order to exceed daily driving limits, that driver likely is driving fatigue. This takes a major toll on driver performance. Studies show that being fatigued has a major impact on the driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle. Reaction time increases, while the ability to pay attention to the road and surrounding circumstances decreases. Distractibility and confusion increase, consequently raising the likelihood of driver errors.
Federal statistics indicate that 13 percent of commercial motor vehicle drivers who were involved in accidents were fatigued at the time of their crash. Further, the National Institutes of Health has documented that fatigue leads to reduced driver performance, including slower responses, inattention, and bad decisions.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration estimates that fatigue plays a role in about 100,000 traffic accidents each year, resulting in more than 1,500 fatalities every year. Further, the National Transportation Safety Bureau has estimated that fatigue is likely a factor in up to 40 percent of accidents involving heavy commercial trucks. In one study, 65 percent of truck drivers reported being drowsy or struggling to stay awake while driving, and 13 percent actually admitted to falling asleep at the wheel.
A report by the NHTSA determined that fatigued driving has a significant impact on accident rates. Most accidents in which fatigue is a factor occur at night, in pre-dawn hours or, surprisingly, in mid-afternoon.
When truckers violate HOS regulations, they place themselves at high risk of driving fatigued. The regulations permit a considerable amount of driving each day before requiring rest, allowing 11 hours of driving after 10 hours of rest. The same regulations allow drivers to be behind the wheel up to 60 hours in a seven-day period or 70 hours in an eight-day period. The rules permit a considerable amount of time behind the wheel each week. Considering that most people work a 40-hour week in jobs where being tired does not raise the risk of a fatigue-induced on-the-job accident at 65 miles per hour, it could be argued that those limits are high, not too low.
Truckers' violations of hours-of-service regulations can have tragic results. If you have been injured in an accident where you believe a truck driver's fatigue was a factor, you should consult an attorney. The law may entitle you to compensation.
