*About the Artist - Dave Calkins
Born in coastal Southern California in 1960 and living in the Mojave Desert, I spent my early years exploring nature. The seascapes of native wildflowers which sprouted after the Spring showers mesmerized my imagination and firmly implanted a hold on my love of color. Travelling the world in later years, my appreciation of the wonders of the sea were awakened. Becoming a keen diver while living in Micronesia and Australia fostered my passion for the underwater gardens of the reef and further reinforced my love of all things bold, bright and energetic.
I've always been a creative soul and have explored several areas of self-expression to arrive back to my first primal love -Painting. I am a self- taught artist not afraid to indulge my own freedoms of expression. I paint both in oils and acrylics, however, mostly favor acrylics as they continually challenge me and I love the desired effects achieved in working quickly with them. I'm inspired in the moment and its this type of discovery which truly excites me. Deliberate strokes of the brush, too or fingers in conjunction with paint applied straight from the tube to canvas provides a fundamental fulfillment. That freedom of the inner child in me creating whimsical works which make me smile as if in my own hidden world. Manipulating paint onto a blank canvas is very rewarding and being engaged in the metamorphosis to capture a moment of form, texture and movement never before seen is my Nirvana.
When the outcome of a completed painting inspires someone to reflect inward eliciting feelings of intrigue, warmth, joy and most importantly produces a smile that I know that the final verdict is a success. I aspire to provide colorful artwork to viewers and collectors with the hope that they too will be as delighted as I and raise a warm smile every time they capture a gaze at one of my paintings. Currently residing in Western Australia since 1996 and living in Scarborough Beach. My artworks are held in private collections in the United States, South America, Asia and Australia.

Tooth sensitivity (also known as dentine hypersensitivity) often appears as a painful reaction to temperature changes, pressure, sweet and acidic food or drink. This reaction may be mild and tingling, or sharp and intense. People whose teeth are sensitive often feel pain when they eat or drink things which are very cold. The classic example is eating ice cream, but simply being out in the cold weather is sometimes enough to set off the problem. Sensitivity to touch may also mean that tooth brushing is uncomfortable.
Research shows that 1 in 3 people in the UK suffer from sensitive teeth at any one time. Dentine hypersensitivity can occur from 15 to 70 years of age or more, however the age group when it occurs most is between 20 and 40 years.
Triggers of tooth sensitivity and the severity will vary from person to person, although the most common are:-
- Cold food and drinks (e.g. ice cream)
- Over-enthusiastic or incorrect tooth brushing
- Hot food and drinks (e.g. hot tea or coffee)
- Sharp acidic foods (e.g. apples, oranges)
Any teeth can be affected but the most likely are those at the front corners of the mouth. It is suggested that this might be because these are the teeth which tend to be brushed more vigorously causing the wearing away of protective tooth enamel.
A healthy tooth has a chamber inside it for the tooth pulp, which consists of nerves and blood vessels. A young and healthy tooth has a large pulp chamber where the sensitive nerves are more exposed to temperature or pressure changes from the outside. However tooth sensitivity can occur at any age. There are two general ways in which this sensitivity can develop:
- Wearing or destruction of the hard, protective outer layer of the tooth crown called enamel. This may be related to:-
- Biting abnormalities or abnormal tooth grinding.
- Toothbrush abrasion i.e. the wearing-away of enamel and/or recession of gums caused by over-enthusiastic or incorrect brushing.
- Dietary erosion – the destruction of enamel by acidic food and drink or by acid regurgitation from the stomach.
- Habit – nail biting or the placing of metal objects between the teeth.
- Attrition – the wearing away of enamel by tooth grinding.
- Gum recession exposing the softer porous tooth structures called dentine and cementum. This may be related to:-
- Chronic gum (periodontal) disease
- Surgery – difficult tooth extractions
- Incorrect tooth brushing
Sensitivity and dental pain can also be experienced for a number of other reasons:-
- Chipped teeth
- Fractured or cracked fillings
- Dental decay (caries)
- Deep fillings
- Cracked teeth
Avoidance of this condition is possible if the teeth are cleaned thoroughly but carefully twice a day. Chewing a disclosing tablet (obtainable from chemists) after brushing will show if any plaque is left behind. Using the correct brushing technique is essential and use of a specialist toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth. If you need advice as to the best technique to use ask a dentist or hygienist.
Care should be taken with diet: a high intake of acid-containing food and drink such as citrus fruits and fizzy drinks will make teeth more sensitive and can lead to destruction of the tooth enamel. A dental professional can help by: Applying fluoride varnish to exposed sensitive dentine or cementum. Applying a sealer to exposed root surfaces to block the tiny tubes which are exposed or offer treatment that will desensitise the dental nerves (no drilling is required). Correcting any bite abnormalities to help reduce the wearing of enamel. Placing fillings to cover exposed dentine or cementum on root surfaces.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are seeking a future first-round pick from the Golden State Warriors in addition to the rights to prized marksman Klay Thompson in Kevin Love trade talks, according to sources close to the situation.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Warriors, while they covet Love greatly, have been weighing internally whether they're prepared to give up two such assets in addition to former All-Star forward David Lee for Love and Wolves swingman Kevin Martin.
Sources say the Wolves also have expressed interest in Warriors forward Harrison Barnes, with various trade constructions being exchanged by the teams in recent days as next Thursday's draft draws near.
The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets also remain at the forefront of the Love pursuit, sources said, but Golden State appears to possess the most appealing combination of players who can make an immediate impact for the Wolves, whose team president -- Flip Saunders -- is also their new coach.
ESPN.com reported earlier Thursday that the Warriors have greatly increased their chances of winning the Love sweepstakes by making Thompson available to the Wolves in trade talks. The Warriors, after initially resisting Minnesota's push for Thompson, have relented and now are including Thompson in various trade proposals.
Thompson's father, Mychal, a former No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft and now a radio analyst on Los Angeles Lakers broadcasts, said Thursday on ESPN LA 710 AM that the Warriors and Wolves have been discussing a deal in which Golden State would receive Martin from Minnesota in addition to Love for Thompson, Lee and a future first-round pick. The Warriors do not have a first-round pick in next week's draft.
ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reported Thursday that the Nuggets are offering Kenneth Faried, Wilson Chandler and the No. 11 pick for Love and Martin, but it remains unclear whether Love would be willing to sign a long-term deal with the Nuggets.
Boston, meanwhile, is a destination that holds some appeal to Love, but the strength of the Celtics' offer is their reported willingness to surrender two first-rounders in Thursday's draft (Nos. 6 and 17) in addition to a veteran such as Jeff Green or a younger player such as Kelly Olynyk or Jared Sullinger. Many rival teams believe Saunders wants players in return for Love who can produce right away.
ESPN.com reported last month that Golden State and Chicago were two destinations that greatly interested Love, who will have some say in where he winds up because he has the right to become a free agent in July 2015. But sources say the Bulls appear to be more focused on trying to find a way to acquire New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony rather than pursuing Love. Anthony has until Monday to decide whether to opt in or out of the final season on his current Knicks contract, valued at $23.3 million.
The Wolves have been forced to explore potential trades since it became widely known last month that Love's representatives told Wolves management that the 25-year-old plans to exercise his right to become a free agent in July 2015 and refuse any attempts by the Wolves to re-sign him.
The Wolves are resigned to dealing Love between now and next season's February trade deadline, but many rival executives believe Minnesota is grudgingly prepared to move Kevin Garnett's successor as the face of the franchise sooner rather than later to try to get as much for Love as possible.

Brad Paisley, Eric Church + More Sign on for 'Grammy Salute to the Sounds of Change' Special
Brad Paisley, Eric Church, Chris Stapleton and LeAnn Rimes will represent the country music contingent at an upcoming all-genre television special called A Grammy Salute to the Sounds of Change.
Airing on March 17 — just days after the 2021 Grammy Awards ceremony — the two-hour show promises to spotlight some of the iconic songs that have helped enact social change throughout history. Artists of all genres and stylistic ilks will take turns offering renditions of some of history's most iconic songs and will shed light on the back stories behind those songs, too.
The event will feature an appearance from soul singer-songwriter Leon Bridges, who has dipped his toes in the country genre in the past. In 2018, he participated in a CMT Crossroads event with Luke Combs, which included a performance of Combs' hit "Beautiful Crazy" as well as Bridges' own "Beyond."
Also making appearances during the special are Creedence Clearwater Revival legend John Fogerty, pop superstar Gloria Estefan, gospel legend Yolanda Adams and many more. D Smoke, Andra Day, Sheila E. Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight are also among the artists who'll make appearances, as will actor and singer-songwriter Cynthia Erivo, television personality Gayle King and others.
Additionally, the show will feature several activists, as well as others from the arts and entertainment world as presenters. Grammy Award-winning rapper Common will host the event.
All four of the country performers participating in A Grammy Salute to the Sounds of Change have a lengthy history with the Grammy Awards. Stapleton is the most-awarded artist of the bunch: He's taken home five Grammys over the course of his career, including two Best Country Album wins in 2015 and 2017 (for Traveler and From A Room: Volume 1, respectively.) He's also picked up two trophies for Best Country Solo Performance, plus another for Best Country Song (for "Broken Halos," in 2017).
Rimes has a tidy two Grammy wins under her belt, both of which she notched in 1996: One trophy for Best Female Country Performance (for "Blue") and an all-genre Best New Artist win that same year. Since then, she's picked up a number of nominations, even getting into a bit of an awkward situation at the 1998 Grammy Awards show when she and Trisha Yearwood were both nominated for Best Female Country Performance — for the same song!
For his part, Paisley has picked up three Grammy trophies, all in country-specific categories, over the years. Those wins came over the course of 2007-2008, but he's been getting mentions at the ceremony since 2000, when he scored a nomination in the all-genre Best New Artist category. Church is the only artist of the four who has no Grammy Awards trophies to his name, though that could change at the upcoming ceremony: He's nominated for Best Country Solo Performance, courtesy of his single, "Stick That in Your Country Song." The mention marks his 10th Grammy nomination to date.
A Grammy Salute to the Sounds of Change will air on CBS on Wednesday, March 17 at 9PM ET.

Configuring provider prefixes and dialing rules
A dialing rule determines which telephone number or provider prefix (call-by-call number) the FRITZ!Box uses for for outgoing calls to a specific range of numbers (for example mobile telephone numbers) or to a specific telephone number. This way you can always use the most inexpensive telephone rate to make calls.
For example, you can specify that calls to a specific range of telephone numbers (for example 001) are always made using an inexpensive provider prefix, or that calls to a specific telephone number are always made using a specific internet telephone number.
Requirements / Restrictions
- Provider prefixes (call-by-call numbers) can only be used in Germany for numbers from Telekom.
1 Configuring provider prefixes
If your provider supports it, you can configure provider prefixes in the FRITZ!Box. The provider prefix is then dialed before the actual telephone number when you make an outgoing call. This means that the call is made via the provider of the prefix and is billed according to the current rate for the provider prefix:
- Click "Telephony" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Call Handling" in the "Telephony" menu.
- Click on the "Provider Prefixes" ("Carrier Prefixes") tab.
- If you want to make all calls using a specific provider prefix, enter the desired provider prefix in the "Global Provider Prefix" field. The global provider prefix then applies to all outgoing calls for which no provider prefix with dialing rules is configured.
- If you want to make specific calls with a provider prefix, enter the desired provider prefixes under "Additional Provider Prefixes". You can then use these provider prefixes to configure dialing rules for individual numbers or calls to a specific number range, for example mobile networks, international calls.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
2 Configuring dialing rules
- Click "Telephony" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Call Handling" in the "Telephony" menu.
- Click on the "Dialing Rules" tab.
- Click the "New Dialing Rule" button.
- From the drop-down list "Number range", select which type of call the dialing rule should apply to. If you select the range "Telephone number", also enter a telephone number or number range.
Enter 020 if the dialing rule should apply to all calls to London. - From the drop-down list "Connect via", select the telephone number or provider prefix that should be used for these calls. If you select "Internet", the FRITZ!Box uses the first internet telephone number entered under "Telephony > Telephone Numbers".
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.

Court Battle Begins Over New Abortion Regulations
The Politics of Prevention
The Politics of Prevention is an occasional series on the effects of state policy on women's health services.
More in this seriesSeeking to block the state of Texas from implementing new abortion regulations, plaintiffs representing abortion providers argued Monday in a federal court that the state's law violates the constitutional right of women to access the procedure. But the state's attorneys defended Texas' right to enact laws that advance protections for the life of a fetus.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel, who presided over the hearing, in which arguments are scheduled to wrap up on Tuesday, was clear about what the court's role was. "This court's job is not to rule on whether women should be allowed abortions," said Yeakel, "but to rule on whether or not this statute comes within the existing constitutional confine."
Given the significance of the law, Yeakel said he'd like to make a decision as soon as possible after arguments conclude.
The plaintiffs, who represent the majority of abortion providers in Texas, including four Planned Parenthood affiliates, Whole Woman's Health and other independent abortion providers, asked the court for a preliminary injunction to block the implementation of two provisions in House Bill 2 that would take effect Oct. 29: a requirement that doctors who perform abortion have active admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the facility, and that doctors follow the FDA regimen, rather than a commonly used evidenced-based protocol, for drug-induced abortions. The plaintiffs argued that both of these provisions present an undue burden on women attempting to access abortion and are therefore unconstitutional.
The attorney general's office argued that these provisions were not approved just to protect the safety of the mother. They were also enacted to advance the state's interest in promoting and protecting fetal life, state Solicitor General Jonathan Mitchell said at the hearing. The burden of proof lies on the plaintiffs, Mitchell said, as the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Casey v. Planned Parenthood allows the state to enact laws that advance its interest in protecting fetal life, so long as it does not create an undue burden on the patient. The court could not overturn the provisions in whole, he argued, because a severability clause in the law requires doctors and patients who believe their constitutional rights have been violated by the law to individually seek exclusion from its provisions.
Mitchell also argued it was not possible to prove — as the plaintiffs allege in the case — that one in three abortion facilities would not be able to perform abortions or that 22,000 women would be prevented from accessing the service until the law took effect.
Yeakel recognized the divisiveness of the issue and said he expects whichever side is disappointed with his ruling to appeal the decision, probably all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. "I would be shocked if whoever was displeased by my ruling did not appeal," he said.
During the first day of the trial, the plaintiffs presented testimony from three of the five expert witnesses they plan to call. The trial will continue on Tuesday at 9 a.m.
"Currently, there's no abortion clinics west of I-35 that will be able to perform this service," because doctors at those facilities do not have admitting hospital privileges, testified Dr. Paul Fine, the medical director for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast and Planned Parenthood Center for Choice. Hospitals are not required to grant those doctors privileges, and the plaintiffs said they found that a third of existing abortion facilities would not have a doctor with admitting privileges on Oct. 29. As a result, they argued women would no longer be able to access abortion services in Lubbock, Fort Worth, Waco, McAllen, Harlingen and Killeen.
Although he has admitting privileges at Ben Taub hospital in Houston, Fine said that in the case of an emergency, it is unlikely he would be called to treat a patient. Women would most likely be taken to the closest facility, which may not be the facility that the abortion provider has privileges at, he said, and then receive treatment from emergency medical staff and the doctors on call for obstetrics and gynecology.
Following the FDA regimen for abortion-inducing drugs isn't unsafe, but it is less effective and has more side effects than the evidence-based protocol followed by most abortion providers, said Fine, who participated in the FDA's clinical trial for Mifeprex, the abortion-inducing drug. He said the FDA regimen requires three pills, instead of one — at a cost of $90 per pill — and shortens the time limit on medical abortions by two weeks to 49 days gestation. The evidence-based regimen also adds the use of antibiotics to prevent infection.
More than 1.75 million women have had drug-induced abortions since the FDA approved the Mifeprex for abortion in 2000, said Fine, and only eight women have died of an infection related to taking the drug. Given the rate of death associated with the medication, he said, it is safer than penicillin.
John Scott, one of the state's attorneys, questioned Fine's qualifications as an expert witness. He presented state-required induced forms that doctors must fill out in cases with complications that indicated some patients have experienced medical problems, such as infection and continuing pregnancy, within 14 days of having a medical abortion. Scott argued that it is therefore medically necessary — as the FDA regimen requires — for a patient to return within that timeframe to be checked for complications.
In response to Fine's assertion that some abortion doctors were afraid to apply for hospital privileges, Scott said that Texas has an anti-retaliation statute that stipulates that a hospital or health care facility may not discriminate against a medical staff members' willingness to participate in an abortion procedure at another facility. Fine said that provision had no bearing on physicians applying for hospital privileges, because the hospital does not have to indicate why they were denied.
Based on the past six years of data, Fine said he believed that medical and surgical abortions are equally safe. There were no deaths among the more than 500,000 documented medical abortions that followed the evidence-based protocol, in which antibiotics were prescribed with the abortion inducing drugs, he said, pointing to research presented at the North American Forum for Family Planning earlier this year.
Dr. Jennifer Carnell, an emergency physician at Ben Taub General Hospital in Houston, also testified on behalf of the plaintiffs that she doesn't believe that requiring hospital privileges would improve an abortion patient's quality of care.
In the past nine years, Carnell said she's seen fewer than 10 patients come to the emergency room suffering complications from abortion. Fewer than half of them were admitted to the hospital. The patients had pain and some vaginal bleeding, but none of them were critically ill or in need of an intensive care unit, she said. All of them received pain medication, and some were given intravenous fluids. In one case, she also gave antibiotics to a patient who may have had an infection.
"They weren't unusual or atypical, so I felt comfortable treating these women," said Carnell, adding that she was able to consult the obstetrics and gynecologist specialist on call.
Requiring doctors to have hospital admitting privileges is unnecessary, she said, because emergency room physicians are comfortable treating hemorrhage or sepsis, the most serious complications associated with abortion. She added that some patients might feel compelled to travel a longer distance to the hospital in which her abortion provider had privileges, but it would be safer for the patient to go to the nearest emergency care facility, which would be equipped to provide care.
Scott asked Carnell if a patient would receive worse care if her doctor had privileges and she went to the hospital.
"I've never had a provider come to the emergency department," said Carnell, but so long as the provider did not obstruct emergency room protocols, she did not think a patient would receive worse care if her abortion doctor had admitting privileges and came to the hospital with her.
Scott also pointed to an article that reported that 80 percent of medical errors involve miscommunication between caregivers when patients are transferred.
Carnell said it is rare for doctors who provide outpatient procedures to coordinate emergency care for their patients. Sometimes she or her staff will try to reach doctors whose patients have come to the emergency room, but it can be more difficult.
"The number of people likely to be seeking abortion after implementation [of HB 2] will greatly outstrip the capacity for the provision of abortion care," Dr. Joseph Potter told the court. He is a sociology professor and demographer at the University of Texas and principle investigator of the Texas Public Policy Evaluation Project, a three-year study evaluating the impact of the 2011 state budget cuts to family planning services. Potter explained that TxPEP researchers calculated roughly 22,200 women seeking abortions would not be able to access the procedure if HB 2 were fully implemented, given the capacity and locations of abortion facilities that would be available.
According to their research, 18 counties in Texas had at least one abortion facility in 2011, but only seven counties would have an abortion provider available if HB 2 were fully implemented: Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Jefferson, Nueces and Travis. If the law took effect, the number of women who would have to travel more than 100 miles to reach an abortion provider would double, said Potter.
He said it is unlikely that new providers would open facilities or that existing providers would expand capacity, because it is difficult for medical providers trained in abortion care to exercise that specialty, and it is difficult for abortion facilities to recruit new doctors. If a facility loses an abortion provider, because the doctor does not have hospital admitting privileges, "that clinic stops receiving money, but it does not stop receiving bills for the rent, and it has to continue to pay staff or let staff go," he said. For example, he said, when family planning clinics in Texas stopped receiving financing in 2011, because of the state budget cuts, 76 family planning clinics closed and only one or two have reopened. "Closures have consequences in terms of economic viability of returning to provide services," Dr. Potter said.
Scott said in his cross-examination of Potter that ultimately abortion clinics are businesses. He also pressed Potter to articulate the names of the clinics he says would close, and other specific information related to his research. Potter said he could not name the clinics that would close, and said much of his testimony was based on information compiled by other researchers associated with the project.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who presided over the passage of HB 2 in the Senate said in a statement that he anticipated that those who are "opposed to the life-saving measures set forth in HB 2" would challenge the law in court. He said, "I am confident that the courts will find in favor of women's health, the right to life and the majority view in our state."

Place the top clip where you want your bangs to start. Slightly push the clips forwards to grip and snap into place. Once secure, brush in your natural hair. If necessary, have your hairdresser cut the Fringe to your desired length and shape.
Yes, you can! Take your Fringe to a qualified hairdresser who will be able to thin them out for you
You can create these looks by blow drying your Fringe in the direction you would like them to sit.
Choosing the right colour is essential to creating a natural looking fringe. If you have multiple shades in your hair and are deciding between two colours we recommend choosing the colour closest to your roots. This will create a seamless blend between the fringe and your hair.
Yes, you can send your hair extensions back for a full refund or exchange within 30 days of receiving your order. Please make sure the hair extensions are unused and in good condition.
Please note that dyeing, toning, or bleaching Pure Hair Extensions may change the structure and quality of the hair and we do not take responsibility for unwanted results. We do not offer refunds once the hair has been altered in any way.

Humans and bed bugs have a long association. Records of bed bug infestations date back at least to 400 B.C. Before World War II, bed bugs were very common in homes, hotels, and boardinghouses. It was not until modern insecticides were developed that bed bugs could be easily eliminated. Today, bed bugs are uncommon pests. Many infestations identified as bed bugs are actually closely related species such as bat bugs or swallow bugs. Knowing what species has infested a house is an important distinction when planning a control strategy. While all of these bugs are external, bloodsucking parasites of warm-blooded animals, each type has a preferred host. Knowing the preferred host is essential to locating and eliminating the source of the bugs.
All members of this group share similar characteristics. They are about 3/16″ long, broadly oval and flat. Most are mahogany or red-brown in color. The larvae are very small and clear. After feeding bed bug larvae can resemble small drops of fresh blood. Bed bugs have straw-like (piercing-sucking) mouthparts. Their wings are very short and look like small pads. They can not fly. Bed bugs are known to give off what has been described as an obnoxiously sweet odor, or an odor similar to fresh raspberries. They will leave small spots of dried blood on the sheets and walls after feeding. If you discover a bug, have a professional identify it.
Reaction to Bites
The bite of a bed bug is not painful and usually the host initially is unaware of the bite. Many people have an allergic reaction to the saliva injected into the skin by the bug. Often there is a large oval or oblong, inflamed swelling, called a wheal, at the feeding site. It may be accompanied by intense itching. Rarely when a person is hypersensitive, asthmatic symptoms may occur.
Bed bugs have been implicated for the transmission of at least 41 human diseases, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and allergic reactions, but they have not been proven responsible for any epidemics or serious disease outbreaks. Thus, they are considered nuisance pests, and are not an important medical problem.
After a blood meal, female bed bugs will lay one to five eggs a day. With multiple feedings they may lay 200 or more eggs during their life. Eggs are usually laid on a rough surface in a protected place like in a crack or crevice in walls or floors. In heavy infestations bed bugs will lay eggs on garments. The young bugs, or nymphs, molt five times before becoming an adult and must have a blood meal before each molt. If conditions are good, nymphs can become adults in six to seven weeks. In cases of starvation bed bugs can live more than 260 days. However, in all stages, bed bugs can go for long periods without a blood meal, so their life cycle may be many months long. Adult females can survive more than 150 days without food.
Bed bugs are nocturnal insects. They hide in protected places during the daytime and emerge at night to feed on their sleeping hosts. Some of their more common hiding places are behind molding, in mattress seams, bedframes, loose wallpaper, and cracks in hardwood floors. With a large infestation, they may be found farther away from a potential host. If the problem is not bed bugs, but rather one of the other closely related bat bugs or swallow bugs, the harborages might be in an infested attic or chimney where the preferred host may be found.
Because bugs hide, having an infestation without actually seeing any of them is possible. If you suspect you have bed bugs, look for small spots of blood on bedding or walls. There may be black or brown spots left behind around well-used hiding or resting places. These spots are dried-excrement.
As with most pest problems, the beginning point for making control decisions should be based on identification and inspection. With bed bugs and their cousins, a species identification is important because it will help determine the focal point for the infestation. Because true bed bugs are uncommon, often the source of the problem is roosting bats and nesting birds. In these two cases, ridding a structure of the source is essential for control. Before any treatments are applied to control the bugs, the bats or birds should be removed from the structure. This often requires the skill of a professional pest control operator because of the complex behavior of the offending animal. Be aware that killing migratory birds and some bats is illegal, because they are federally protected.
Deep cleaning should follow. All areas where infestations are found should be thoroughly vacuumed. Vacuum mattresses, bedframes, and stuffed furniture in infested rooms. Flooring and carpeting also should be well-vacuumed. Pay close attention to edges and loose areas where bugs could hide. After finishing vacuuming, put the vacuum cleaner collection bag into a plastic bag, seal it and place it in an outdoor trash receptacle immediately. Cleaning egg infested garments is also important.
Once the source has been removed, the next step should be a crack and crevice treatment with an insecticide labeled for the target site. In rooms where infants, children or elderly people will spend many hours such as a bedroom, take care to only treat potential harborage areas. Bed bugs and other closely related bugs may be difficult to control because of their many hiding places. You may need to hire a professional pest control specialist to resolve this problem.

Early Days
Design Presentation began operations in the early 1990s as a division of a New York-based sourcing company, assisting US and European firms in identifying vendors and providing Quality Control services for a wide variety of engineered products. The firm got into the CAD drafting services by accident, as a favor to a sourcing client. The first customer, in the late 1990s, was an engineering firm that required conversion of engineering drawings to AutoCAD after the original computer files were lost. The team tried to find a good CAD drafting vendor for them, but realized that they could do the job faster, better and cheaper if they hired people and did the work themselves. Soon thereafter, the firm's landlord, a New York-based real estate company, hired Design Presentation to convert their archive of architectural blueprints into AutoCAD and upload them on the company's website. It was then that it became clear that this could be a sustainable business, and the firm began to market the service to existing sourcing/QC clients.
At first, the conversion process involved the collection of physical drawings from clients, but it quickly became evident that without a network of offices, the cost and risk of shipping documents back and forth was prohibitive. In order to avoid damage of drawings in transit, Design Presentation introduced a policy of only accepting electronic copies (i.e. raster or bitmap images) of drawings. If a customer does not have access to a scanner, they are referred to a network of affiliates across the USA. Not only is this approach safer, but it is also faster, less expensive and more eco-friendly than couriering documents back and forth. In order to further reduce cost, Design Presentation adopted technologies that enabled the automation of parts of the process via a workflow system that customers could access. This low cost raster to vector CAD conversion service, combined with the company's quality control heritage, became popular among US architects, engineers and construction firms. Before long, the division had grown sufficiently large to operate as a separate company, which was formed in New York in 2002 and incorporated in 2004.
Evolution of the Company
Having developed a high degree of confidence in Design Presentation's quality and reliability, clients began to ask for red-line changes, architectural detailing and 3D models. This presented a major challenge, as it required the firm to invest in training, installing new software and hiring new people. Re-creating engineering drawings is relatively easy, because very little judgment is required, but as one moves up the learning curve and tackles more complex assignments, there are often multiple solutions, and a certain amount of subjectivity and creativity is involved – and therefore quality control becomes harder to define.
Despite the challenges, it became clear that moving up the learning curve was important for the company to continue to expand and to provide a career path for its employees. While raster to vector CAD conversion will remain an important part of Design Presentation's business, particularly since many companies are now switching from 2D CAD to 3D CAD (e.g. Revit, BIM), most of the company's growth today is coming from new services such as CAD detailing, renderings, 3D modeling and 3D walkthroughs.
Recent Expansion and Future Plans
In 2006, a group of private angel investors, including Managing Directors at Goldman Sachs, Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) and the International Finance Corporation, invested in the Design Presentation to fund international expansion. Today Design Presentation has over 100 CAD draftsmen and representatives in a dozen countries. The company has established subsidiaries and representative offices in Europe (UK, France, Italy), Asia (Japan, India, Singapore), the Middle East (UAE, Israel) and Australia.
Having built a reputation for quality and reliability, Design Presentation's goal is to become the leading global provider of CAD support services, serving both industry and governments. Growth will come from two sources: new, higher value-added services and additional geographies. The corporation plans to grow primarily through organic means, but is also evaluating options to acquire smaller companies who can contribute to either geographic or product expansion.

CBN.com -Kevin Ramsby tells how it all started. "When I heard the crashing window, the glass breaking and falling to the ground, it startled me. "
Inner city pastor Kevin Ramsby was home alone when and intruder broke in. He couldn't find a weapon, so he grabbed a tennis racket and ran downstairs. "I remember yelling 'This is my house!' letting someone know that I was there. When I got to the bottom last two steps, I was racing... At that time that a man came racing around the corner. That's when we first saw each other face to face and came eye to eye with each other. I quickly noticed he had a large knife in his hand. It was slow motion. It was almost surreal. When I first saw the knife, I remember my first thought was, 'I can't believe this is happening.'"
"He was using the knife, and he kept repeatedly just stabbing. He began to stab me to the back of the head and my neck, right on my spine and my shoulders. The only words he spoke to me was, 'Where is the money?' and 'Where are the keys?'"
"At that point in time is when the first thought of death came across my mind, and that's when I answered him, 'It doesn't matter any more. I'm dead.' At that point in time I remember just putting my head on my kitchen floor, the cold ceramic floor and closed my eyes and waited to die. I was convinced my life was over. "
Thankfully, his wife and children were out of town visiting family. Kevin began to pray for them.
"I was praying, 'God let Sarah know how much she's meant to me.' I began thinking of my daughter Katelyn, and I began praying for her that God would be her father. I began to praying that my son Noah would always know that living for Jesus was the greatest thing he could ever do. As I was praying for Noah, it was almost as if God interrupted my prayer and I heard the words 'They still need you.' All of a sudden, everything within me began to… I was infused with energy and hope and … 'I've got to do something,'"
"My insides had come on the outside of me, and I had to pick them up, and stand to my feet and begin carrying my intestines and was able to make it down the steps and get out the side door, and made it to a neighbor's house." His neighbor called 911. When Kevin arrived at the hospital, the doctors discovered he had 37 stab wounds. "My face, my neck, in my temple, in my spine, in my chest, in my abdomen – all throughout my body… The doctors and the nurses really didn't think I had any chance of making it. They'd never seen someone come in with so many stab wounds. " Finally, Sarah received word from the hospital. Sarah describes her reaction to the news. "I had nothing to say but 'Jesus!' It wasn't a screaming Jesus, It was just a 'Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.' It was all I had." As Kevin underwent surgery, Sarah drove with their children for seven agonizing hours to the hospital. Sarah continues, "It was like a numb feeling. It was like 'I can't even feel until I get there.' By the time she arrived, Kevin was out of surgery. "Walking into that room and seeing him for the first time - It was like love and thankfulness, that 'Oh my gosh, here's my husband and he's alive.'" None of his major organs was damaged, and the recovery only took 5 months.
Kevin knew he had not alone that night. "To have 37 stab wounds and to have no organs and arteries hit, to me was just evidence that God somehow was there keeping me during that struggle." Kevin has forgiven his attacker, who was arrested a short time later. "I saw the man for the first time in 2 years. My first reaction when I left that courtroom is I went back into the witness room and began to weep. It was over him. I made a commitment that I would not hold a grudge against this man."
"The enemy comes to kill steal and destroy, and to rob us of hope and a future. God comes to bring just the opposite."

While most people are aware of the potentially life-threatening health consequences of cigarette smoking, including lung cancer and emphysema, many people do not recognize the negative impact that smoking can have on the health and appearance of their skin.
Smoking causes biomechanical changes in our bodies that can speed up the normal aging process of the skin, contributing to deep wrinkles and fine lines that make us look older. The more cigarettes you smoke and the longer you smoke, the more wrinkled, leathery skin you will develop.
Why does smoking cause wrinkles?
Smoking accelerates skin aging in a number of ways.
- Nicotine in cigarettes deprive skin cells of oxygen and constricts the blood vessels that feed nutrients to the skin cells.
- Smoking damages collagen and elastin, the fibers that give skin its strength and elasticity. As fibrous substances are destroyed, skin begins to sag and droop.
- Smoking reduces the body's store of vitamin A and vitamin C, which provide skin protection.
- Continual pursing of the mouth when inhaling or squinting of the eyes to avoid smoke can cause deep wrinkling around the eyes and mouth.
- Continual exposure to cigarette heat and smoke can make skin appear sallow and yellowish in color.
- As collagen is destroyed, other parts of the body such as the inner arms and neck may appear saggy and wrinkled with time.
There's Help—Quit Now
Skin damage caused by smoking won't be completely reversible. But the signs of smoking can be dramatically diminished and even avoided the sooner you stop smoking. Even those who have smoked for several years show noticeably less wrinkling and improved skin tone when they quit smoking.
If you are ready to stop smoking or have recently quit, but the visible signs of aging smoking left behind bother you, talk to your dermatologist. There are many different cosmetic treatments available that can reduce fine lines caused by smoking. Laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and some topical treatments can restore skin, giving it a rejuvenated and smoother appearance. We will examine your skin, discuss your goals for treatment and recommend suitable options.
The longer you smoke, the greater chance you have of developing irreversible wrinkles. By stopping your smoking habit now combined with an improved diet and a great anti-aging skin care regimen, it is possible to regain your youthful skin.

MediaWiki ハンドブック: 目次、読者、編集者、中間管理者、システム管理者 +/- |
- ウィキ間インポートは別名インターウィキリンク インポートといい、他のウィキから直接、ページをインポートします。インポート先ウィキの設定により、元のウィキを指定します。かつてはmessage with id 'import-interwiki-text' (talk)を経由していました(廃止済み)。「Transfer pages into namespace」というシステムメッセージの後、インポート先の名前空間を指定していました; the option "all" actually means "the same as the original".
- アップロードのインポートとは廃止された機能で、他のウィキからexportを使い、特別なXML形式でページをインポートします。message with id 'importtext' (talk) appears;
Wikimediaウィキでウィキ間インポートを無効にするところもやはり多く、message with id 'importnosources' (talk)を表示します(廃止)。 「No wikis from which to import have been defined and direct history uploads are disabled.」ところがcommons:、foundation:、w:、cs:、fr:にあるページは現状では Meta にインポートが可能で、Meta 上のページはmw:にインポートできます。インポートという行為そのものはSpecial:Log/importのほかページの変更履歴にも加わります。
If an imported page has the same name as an existing page in the target wiki, the page is overwritten if the imported page is newer (according to the timestamps). If an error occurred during the import then you may find the import is partially complete (some pages imported, but not all). Since pages are overwritten, attempting the import again should not be a problem.
If you specified to include history information, then you should also see information about the edits in the 'history' of the imported pages, and in the user contributions. The edits will not show up in 'recent changes' (neither positioned at the time of the original edit, nor at the time of importing). The effect will be similar to a full history merge and it may be quite difficult to later determine which edits were imported.
There is an option "Include all templates", which will import the templates that are on an imported page. If this is not used they will be redlinked unless a template of the same name exists on the target wiki. If this is used, templates of the same name on the target wiki will be overwritten and the import will include not only the templates on the imported page but also any templates used within those templates. It is possible to import a collection of pages by specially creating a page that transcludes them, and importing that page, with the option on. However, this should be done very carefully or it may result in far more being imported than desired - again, it will import all templates on the transcluded pages and all templates nested within those templates.
Useful applications of importing include:
- when a page is moved to another wiki and subsequently edited there, have the history together in the target wiki; this is especially useful if the source page becomes more difficult to find due to page moves etc.
- when a page is moved to another wiki and deleted on the source wiki, preserve the history.
- in order to have templates that exist on another wiki/subdomain.
- on certain projects such as wikisource and wiktionary, to move multilingual content between language subdomains.
To check whether your wiki has the transwiki right configured, and, where it is configured, to which wikis, you can query your wiki using the api.
- <wiki url>/w/api.php?action=paraminfo&modules=import
The configuration is expressed in <param name="interwikisource" description="For interwiki imports: wiki to import from"> …
Alternatively one can check the global configurations at http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php and look in the section wgImportSources
If there is no transwiki configured, then seek your local community's consensus to have the transwiki configured, and to identify from which wikis you may wish to import. Requests for configuration changes should be lodged in Phabricator:. You would be expected to link to your community's discussion in your bug request.
A query of the API at your local wiki would also display the usergroup rights, check for the <add>
- <wiki url>/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=usergroups
Assignation of transwiki import rights
Most transwiki rights are assigned to users following a successful discussion in their community's wiki, followed up by a request to stewards at Steward requests/Permission. Some wikis have requested and been granted that local bureaucrats be able to assign this right, check with your wiki for the current situation there.
How to export, and the format of exported pages, is described at mw:Help:Export. Normally any user can export wiki pages to a file, but to import pages into a wiki from a file, you must have 'Sysop' privileges on that wiki. So if you have your own MediaWiki installation, then you should be able to see the 'Special:Import' page there. Within the Wikimedia Foundation family of wiki projects, only users with the importupload user-right can import pages into a wiki from a file; this includes only members of the "importer" group and stewards.
To import wiki pages from your computer, simply click browse to locate the file on your local file system.
In the case of upload import, because of the simple readable file format the XML file can easily be edited between exporting and importing. This should be done with caution and integrity, one can make antedated edits and use false user names, and in combination with deletion, one can "change history". Applications of this editing include:
- adding a note to the edit summary about the importing
- changing user names and/or page names to avoid name conflicts (just between the title tags and between the username tags or also in links and signatures)
- changing namespace names into the generic or the applicable ones (ditto)
Note that if two versions of the page have the same timestamp (because one was uploaded with the same timestamp as a preexisting version), the later (imported) version will show up in the edit history but not in the article itself.
See mw:Manual:XML Import file manipulation in CSharp for an example of working with these XML files in Visual Studio .NET C#.
Merging histories and other complications
If the import includes history information, and the edits involved a user name which in the importing project is used by somebody else, then upload import should be applied, and the occurrences of the user name in the XML file should first be replaced by another name, to avoid ambiguity. If the user name was not used yet in the importing project then the user contributions are available anyway, although an account is not automatically created.
Just like when a page is referred to in a link, and/or put in a URL, generic namespace names are automatically converted, and if a prefix is not a namespace name the page will arrive in the main namespace. However, e.g. "Meta:" may be ignored (dropped) on a project that uses that prefix for interwiki linking. It may be desirable to change it in the XML file to "Project:" before importing.
If a page name exists already, importing revisions of a page with that name causes the page histories to be merged. Note that after inserting a revision between two existing revisions in the page history, the change made by the user who made the next edit seems different from what it actually has been: to see the actual change made by the user one has to take the diff between the two already existing revisions, not the diff with respect to the inserted one. Therefore this should not be done except to reconstruct the true page history.
A revision is not imported if a revision of the same page, date, and time (up to the exact second) exists already. In practice this occurs only when the revision has already been imported (either to the current wiki, or previously to the wiki from which the export was made, or both were imported from a third site).
An edit summary may refer to, and possibly link to, another page. This may be confusing when the page has been imported but the target page has not.
The edit summary does not automatically show that the page has been imported, but in the case of upload import that can be added to the edit summaries in the XML file before importing. That can avoid some potential sources of ambiguity and/or confusion. When editing the XML file with find/replace, note that adding a text to the edit summaries requires distinguishing between edits which already have an edit summary, hence comment tags in the XML file, and those without these tags. If there are multiple pairs of comment tags, only the last one is effective.
Without provisions for user name conflicts, the user contributions list shows:
- the edits by the person registered under the user name concerned on the project
- for each wiki from which pages have been imported, the edits of imported pages before import, by the user who on the source project has the user name concerned
If at the time of import the page did not exist yet on the target site, the two can be distinguished by comparing the time of import with the time of the edit.
If the user page and user talk page do not have a user contributions link in the page margin then the user is not registered, so all their edits are imported.
Large-scale transfer
For a large-scale transfer, somebody with sufficient system privileges can move data within the server, which is more practical than sending large XML files from the server to a user's local computer and then back to the server.
Large files may be rejected for two reasons. The PHP upload limit, found in PHP configuration file php.ini:
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. upload_max_filesize = 20M
And also the hidden variable limiting the size in the input form. Found in the mediawiki source code
, includes/specials/SpecialImport.php:
<input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='20000000' />
Maybe you should change the following four directives in php.ini:
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. post_max_size = 20M
max_execution_time = 1000 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds max_input_time = 2000 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
; Default timeout for socket based streams (seconds) default_socket_timeout = 2000
- data dumps describes the maintenance script maintenance/importDump.php which provides an alternate import mechanism, but hasn't always remained in working order with recent MediaWiki releases
- Importer

Listen To Part 1 of The Exclusive Interview
Jerry Cooley, MD: I started working with this wound healing product about a year and half ago, and initially got some promising results. It's taken me definitely some time to understand it and understand what worked well and what didn't, as well as just to see long term results. One of the things I've been doing in the last few months is just making a real concerted effort to bring people back in, which is not really that easy, but just to really look very closely at my results and I've just gotten that much more excited about it.

By Jake Stukenberg, NFU Intern
Nationwide, farmers are beginning to age out and retire from their service to produce. Are young people turning to farming to as the established generation steps back? According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, only 5.1 percent of the 2.1 million principal owner farmers are younger than 35. This is likely not do to a lack of interest – aspiring farmers face many barriers to entry. One of the obstacles that many young farmers face when starting up is finding land that is appropriate for agricultural uses.
One organization that wants to help remove that obstacle is Colorado Land Link, a program through the Colorado Guidestone organization that helps young and beginning farmers and ranchers secure opportunities to help launch their own farm businesses. This program connects land-seekers and landowners so that they may work together to share the productive land with the farmers of tomorrow and provide critical resources for those new farmers.
Getting matched with a retiring farmer or selling landowner is one of the first major steps that young farmers need to start their own operation, so this resource is perfect for those struggling to find a suitable place to settle down and farm.
To start the process, users can follow this link above to fill out the land-seeker application. From there, the program will match applicants with land opportunities within different areas of the state.
If there are any other programs that your respective state offers regarding land acquisitions or match-up programs for retiring farmers and young farmers, leave a comment in the section below.

How Foo Fighters Got Revenge (and 500 Pounds of Spaghetti) on Chad Smith in Prank War
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith has revealed how he lost a prank war with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters when the bands toured the U.S. together in 1999. The friendly rivalry began soon after the road trip began, when Smith found himself getting on well with the Foos, and particularly drummer Hawkins.
In a new episode of Rolling Stone's "The First Time" video series (clip above), Smith recalled: "We used to tour with the foo Fighters a lot. In '99 we played an extensive American tour with them and I became very friendly with them… As you know the drummer doesn't move around, he has to sit in one spot… so I decided it would be a good idea to rig up things above [Hawkins]."
Those items included M&Ms – "not like a few, not like a bag, like a lot… thousands" – and popcorn, although Smith noted he used "nothing dangerous; no knives or anything." He added: "At the end of one of their songs it would all come down on him and he couldn't get out of the way. I thought that was funny." But as the tour wound to an end, he knew the Foos were thinking: "We're gonna get Chad back."
He admitted they were "smart" about it, choosing their moment on the second-to-last or third-to-last show rather than the obvious one. They also happened to choose a performance that was being recorded for a later DVD release, meaning that video evidence of the revenge prank is "out there somewhere."
Smith recalled: "Down comes ping-pong balls and glitter, which was kinda weird – it was okay, but kinda weird. Dave and Taylor are at the side and [I'm like] 'F––k you!' Anthony [Kiedis] is laughing, missing all the words. Then the ping-pong balls and the glitter stopped. I was like, 'Okay, cool.' Then like 500 pounds of spaghetti! That was like snakes falling on you, for a long time. It did not stop, it was all over the drums… they got me really good. I barely finished the end of the song then I run off and tackle Dave."
Reflecting that the entire experience had been all in fun, he noted: "Taylor's godfather to one of my kids. Poor kid…"

By Ian Berger, JD
IRA Analyst
One of the cardinal sins you can commit with an IRA rollover is to run afoul of the IRS "once-per-year" rollover rule. Violating that rule triggers a taxable distribution and the 10% early distribution penalty if you are under age 59 ½. Plus, the forbidden rollover would be treated as an excess contribution subject to an annual 6% penalty unless timely corrected. Unlike missing the 60-day rollover deadline, violating the once-per-year rule is a mistake that cannot be fixed.
But the once-per-year rule is often misunderstood.
As background, remember that the once-per-year rule only applies to traditional IRA-to-traditional IRA rollovers or Roth IRA-to-Roth IRA rollovers. The rule does not apply to company plan-to-IRA rollovers, IRA-to-company plan rollovers, or traditional IRA-to-Roth IRA rollovers (Roth conversions). Since 2015, the IRS has said that the once-per-year rule applies to all of a person's IRAs – not to each IRA account separately. Traditional and Roth IRAs are combined when applying the rule. You can always get around the once-per-year rule by doing a direct transfer instead of a 60-day rollover.
Often, the once-per-year rule is expressed as disallowing more than one rollover in a one-year period. But that's not how the rule really works. The rule actually says you can't do a rollover of an IRA distribution made within one year of a prior distribution that was rolled over. So, the rule prevents you from doing more than one rollover of distributions made within a one-year period; it doesn't necessarily prevent you from doing more than one rollover within a one-year period.
Example 1: Jackie received a traditional IRA distribution on November 1, 2020 that she rolled over to another traditional IRA on December 1, 2020. If Jackie receives a second traditional IRA (or Roth IRA) any time before November 1, 2021, the once-per-year rule prevents her from doing another 60-day rollover of that second distribution to another like IRA.
Example 2: Let's say Jackie receives the second distribution on October 15, 2021 (within one year of the first distribution on November 1, 2020). She would still violate the rule even if she delays rolling over the second distribution until December 2, 2021 (more than one year after the first rollover on December 1, 2020).
Example 3: Now assume that Jackie receives the second distribution on November 10, 2021 (more than one year after the first distribution on November 1, 2020). She would not violate the once-per-year rule if she rolls over the second distribution on November 25, 2021 (within one year of the first rollover on December 1, 2020). In that case, doing two rollovers within a one-year period (on December 1, 2020 and November 25, 2021) is allowed.

Okay, so I'm overstating it a little bit. Sanchez Brumfield was charged with killing a man in Louisiana. He's being tried for first-degree murder. While in a holding cell in the courthouse basement, he was seen masturbating by the deputies who were monitoring him by camera. How is this relevant in the murder case? It's not, but the prosecutor argued that, if Brumfield is convicted, the jury should consider it in deciding whether to give him life in jail, or the death penalty. What what what? What possible relevance could masturbating have in the life or death decision? Here's what prosecutor Aaron Brooks said, per The Advocate and WBRZ News 2:
"He will make a lousy prisoner if he's given a life-sentence," Brooks said. "And this stunt proves that."
Huh? What do you do with that kind of reasoning? Just what the judge did – he rejected it. Here's the source.

For sportswriters the fattest target has always been the America's Cup. It's too easy. It's like all those political writers who make fun of vice presidents and think they're being original. Sportswriters have been going har-de-har-har about the America's Cup even long before one of their wags said it was like watching paint dry. Or like watching grass grow. One or the other. Maybe both.
But while America's Cup yachts can gracefully skim above water at better than 40 mph, Frank Deford says when he looks back at the seven seas in 2013 he'll remember 64-year-old Diana Nyad "plowing, all by herself, freestyle, through 100 miles of surf from Havana to Key West."

The Secrets of Law explores the ways law both traffics in and regulates secrecy. Taking a close look at the opacity built into legal and governance processes, it explores the ways law produces zones of secrecy, the relation between secrecy and justice, and how we understand the inscrutability of law's processes.
The first half of the work examines the role of secrecy in contemporary political and legal practices—including the question of transparency in democratic processes during the Bush Administration, the principle of public justice in England's response to the war on terror, and the evidentiary law of spousal privilege. The second half of the book explores legal, literary, and filmic representations of secrets in law, focusing on how knowledge about particular cases and crimes is often rendered opaque to those attempting to access and decode the information. Those invested in transparency must ultimately cultivate a capacity to read between the lines, decode the illegible, and acknowledge both the virtues and dangers of the unknowable.

"Rather than fall into an easy rendering of law as either requiring transparency or secrecy, this volume reveals that this distinction is itself a false dichotomy. It points out the paradox that the very idea of transparency itself relies to some extent on keeping sources a secret, and treats the question of law and its relationship to secrecy with delicacy and sophistication."
—James Martel, San Francisco State University
"This compelling interdisciplinary volume raises the timely question of transparency in law and governance. Sarat, Douglas, and Umphrey deliver a rich, nuanced exploration in this new collection of essays that will prove useful for students of law, politics, and humanities."

We Outmaneuver Our Opponents
Building a Compelling Case That Gets Results
Accidents caused by a Commercial Truck also known as 18 Wheelers, Semi Trucks or Big Rigs frequently result in life-changing injuries or even death. Those who survive are often left dealing with serious pain and suffering, along with substantial medical bills. It's a difficult time for victims and their loved ones, made all the more difficult when you lack knowledge of state laws and don't know who to turn to for help getting the compensation you need.
We know how frustrating and confusing this situation can be for truck accident victims and do everything we can to help defend the rights of those who suffer because of someone else's negligence.
To find out how our truck accident lawyers can help you with your claim, call us at 210-202-4027. We represent clients suffering from a broad range of injuries and know that during this difficult time your recovery is what matters most. Let us help you pursue justice for your damages so you can focus on getting your life back on track.
Truck Accidents Leave Victims With Serious Injuries
There are many different types of large commercial vehicles on the road, but they can all pose serious hazards to motorists due to their unique size, weight, and shape. It's very difficult to regain control of such a sizeable vehicle once you lose it, which is why in many cases the results are catastrophic.
Some common injuries that occur in trucking crashes include:
- Brain Damage or Traumatic Brain Injury
- Head Trauma
- Fractures
- Burns
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Facial Damage
- Internal Damage
- Rib and Torso Trauma
Drivers have a right to expect people to drive safely and follow road traffic rules. If you have suffered a personal injury in a truck accident in New Braunfels or the surrounding area's that wasn't your fault, then those accountable should be held responsible.

Let Us Handle the Legal Issues So You Can Focus On Your Recovery
In many cases, you'll find that the commercial trucking companies are self-insured. That is why they will do everything in their power to mitigate their legal liability and avoid compensation. Insurance companies will often swoop in at the first available opportunity with a low settlement offer in the hope that the injured party will accept that first offer.
We understand that during this time you will want to focus on your injury and not have to worry about dealing with insurance companies. However, this is the time to think about your financial future and ensure you obtain rightful compensation.

Precision Engineered and Manufactured in the United Kingdom
Hambini Bottom Brackets are amongst the lowest friction bottom brackets in the world. They are used by recreational cyclists, road racers, triathletes and time trialists from around the globe. They are of proven design and are manufactured in the United Kingdom. These units are of a one piece construction which makes them inherently resistant to creak, they will maintain perfect bearing alignment and function under loads in excess of 4000W.
Hassle-Free Maintenance
All Hambini bottom brackets can be installed and removed with a conventional bearing press, they use a controlled method of installation using the recommended fitting adaptors, they require no hammers or specialized tooling for removal. Additionally, the wearing component – the bearings – can be serviced in situ or removed within just a few minutes. The bottom bracket has been designed to be fully rebuildable.
Unrivalled Performance
Unloaded bearing spin tests are a poor measure of frictional performance but they do highlight good bearing alignment. The link below is to a video of a Hambini Racing Bottom Bracket that had completed 10,000km
Class Leading Parasitic Drag Loss (Friction)
The graph below shows how Hambini bottom brackets perform in comparison to the bottom brackets of other manufacturers. The test conditions model real world cycling and more importantly mimics realistic frame tolerances. All of these tests have been conducted with an eccentricity of 0.1mm which is generally the maximum permitted in frame specifications – the reality is tolerances have been known to be much worse than this. Misalignment is more critical to friction than the type of bearing ball material, a slight misalignment can easily outweigh the difference between a top of the range NTN bearing and a mediocre ebay no name bearing. The results show that bottom brackets which have an element of structural linkage between the drive and non-drive sides (one piece/threaded etc) perform much better than those which are multi piece.
The high torque and low RPM of pedaling causes high Hertzian contact stresses on bearing surfaces which cause friction levels to change over time. Those bottom brackets which have used ceramic bearings, start off with fairly low levels of friction but over time their friction increases dramatically. The super hard ceramic balls grind a track into the comparatively soft bearing races causing friction to increase. This would be analogous to trying to drive a locomotive train on a road, the wheels would cut grooves into the road surface due to the huge difference in surface hardness.
Bottom Bracket Stiffness
A Hambini BB is a one piece bottom bracket. It actively contributes to the stiffness of the bike's pedaling platform. Threaded and multi piece bottom brackets have an element of play in their design so they do not contribute anywhere near a comparative level of stiffness. Reviewers of Hambini BB's often comment on their feeling of improved stiffness, this is due to them being one piece and undergoing a proprietary heat treatment process. This makes them stronger and stiffer. This is a difference the end user cannot see – but they can feel.
