1 July 99
by Lindsay Foulis
In two recent decisions Eadie Cairns v Programmed Maintenance Painting Limited 1987 SLT 77 has been referred to. In the Royal Bank of Scotland Plc v Holmes 1999 SLT 563 the Defender sought to give specification of allegations of fraud by incorporating two letters from his solicitors brevitatis causa into the pleadings. Whilst Lord Macfayden indicated that at Debate it was perfectly acceptable to refer to the correspondence incorporated into the Pleadings brevitatis causa, as the correspondence did not provide adequate specification of the allegations the pleadings were irrelevant. On a similar line in Steelmek Marine and General Engineers Trustee v Shetland Sea Farms Limited 1999 GWD 4-164 the Pursuers, in suing for payment, incorporated an Invoice brevitatis causa into the Pleadings. Sheriff Principal Bowen again held that the Invoices had been incorporated into the Pleadings and accordingly could be referred to at the Diet of Debate.
Again, however, the Invoices were totally lacking in specification when examined against the matters at issue in the case. Accordingly, whilst it is tempting to incorporate documentation brevitatis causa it is essential that the documentation is sufficiently specific in itself.
In the Royal Bank of Scotland Plc v Harper MacLeod 1999 GWD 16 733 the question of the relevancy of alternative and inconsistent averments arose. The bank sued the Defenders for professional negligence alleging that if they had been given certain information they would not have lent or alternatively would have lent a lower sum. The Defenders did not lay any foundation in averment as to what the Pursuers would have done if the Defenders had performed this obligation. Sheriff Principal Bowen in the appeal only allowed the alternative case to go to Proof. His basis for the decision was that the Pursuers' case amounted to alternative and inconsistent averments of damage and where the Defenders mad no substantial averments challenging the Pursuers' allegations of damage, the only evidence which could open up an alternative case for consideration must come from the Pursuers' witnesses themselves. There must accordingly be an element of uncertainty in the Pursuers' minds as to how the evidence would come out and in those circumstances it was inappropriate for them to be allowed to proceed to Proof on alternative basis. In Penman v Blue Cap Logistics Limited 1999 GWD 12:536 Lord Bonomy in excluding certain averments from probation ruled that certain averments of duty were irrelevant as the Pursuer did not offer to prove that it would have been possible to fulfil the duties averred or if the duties had been fulfilled they would have avoided the accident. In Devaney v Yarrow Shipbuilders Limited 1999 SLT 561 in an action for reparation the Pursuer failed to name the alleged negligent employee. The Temporary Judge in allowing the Proof before Answer indicated that the present case was distinguishable from the situation where the alleged delinquent employee was known. However, where the identity of the employee is not specified, the Temporary Judge envisaged difficulties at a Proof, if the Pursuer at that time was able to name the negligent employee. Further problems were evident where certain persons on site were the employees of the Defenders but equally certain persons were not. Finally, the use of believed and averred was examined again in the partnership of MFV Ocean Quest v Finning Limited 1999 GWD 15-684. The action related to damages for breach of contract and in the Defences, the Defenders prefaced certain averments by believed and averred. Sheriff Principal Risk again indicated that the Defenders' averments did not disclose any primary facts from which the Defenders' belief could be inferred. If the Defenders did have such information, then it should be the subject of averment. He further indicated that averment of belief which had no factual basis, did not allow cross examination of any expert witness led by an opponent. Another interesting point raised in the case was that the Pursuers sought support for their claim for damages on a letter from the Defenders waiving charges in relation to certain work.
The Sheriff Principal decided that the letter itself did not discharge the initial onus on the Pursuers as the letter was open to numerous constructions, one of which might have been simply the maintenance of good customer relations. Even if the letter could constitute an admission, the Defenders were entitled to give an explanation.
In McCue v Scottish Daily Record and Sunday Mail Limited and Another 1999 SCLR 380 the Pursuer, an undischarged bankrupt, successfully appealed against an Interlocutor ordaining him to find Caution for Expenses. The case is referred to as it re-emphasises that a factor which will be taken into account in deciding whether or not Caution should be ordained is the relative strengths of the parties cases. In this case taking this factor into account, the Lord Ordinary's Interlocutor was recalled.
In Beveridge and Kellas v Abercromby 1999 GWD 15-683 a Motion for uplift in terms of the Civil Legal Aid (Scotland) (Fees) Regulations 1989 Regulation 5 (4) was enrolled after the case had settled and after Decree had been extracted. The competency of the Motion was questioned. The solicitors responded arguing that to deal with the Motion the action did not require to be in dependence, that since the Civil Legal Aid Rules required the Account of Expenses and the Statement of Grounds supporting the application to be lodged with the Motion as a matter of practicality, such a Motion could not be dealt with until after Decree had been extracted. It was further argued that there was no restriction in time as to when the Motion could be made in terms of the Regulations and Rules. Sheriff Macphail refused the Motion as incompetent as the words "by Motion in the Cause" imposed an implicit time limit which extended only to while the Cause was depending before a Court. As prior Interlocutors disposed of the merits of the case and expenses, the action was no longer in dependence. Further support for that view was gained from the fact that neither Regulations or Civil Legal Rules provided for a Motion to be made after an Interlocutor finally disposing of the case and in the absence of this the Motion required to be made whilst the action was in dependence.
In Wyllie v Corrigan and Another 1999 SCLR 177 the Inner House indicated that failure to take a plea to have a Cause sisted for arbitration by a certain procedural stage did not necessarily mean that the right to insist on arbitration was abandoned. It all depended on the whole circumstances of the case. In other words, to fail to take the plea by the closing of a Record was not necessary fatal.
The case of Dennis Walton Construction v McKay 1999 SCLR 373 gives a salutary lesson about discharging a Proof and anticipating that the Motion will be granted. A Motion to discharge the Proof was presented by the Defenders and was consented to. The Sheriff refused to deal with the Motion in Chambers as he wanted an explanation for the discharge and consideration of the Motion was deferred until the Diet of Proof. On the day of the Proof, the Sheriff for a number of reasons refused the Motion. Notwithstanding that the Motion was the Defender's and had been consented to, the Pursuer was now in a position that he had no option but to proceed to Proof. The problem was that the Pursuers' witnesses were not present and in those circumstances, Decree by default was granted. The appeal was successful but the case illustrates the problems in anticipating that a Motion to discharge a Proof will be granted if made on the day of the Proof. Sheriffs are not bound to grant such a Motion and on occasions Sheriffs do not, even if the Motion is made of consent or at least not opposed. If the Motion is refused at the Proof Diet and as Pursuer your witnesses are not present, the Sheriff may have no option but to grant Decree of Absolvitor. Self preservation dictates that if a Proof is to be discharged the Motion should be heard prior to the actual Diet. If this is not possible the Pursuer should always ensure that one or two witnesses are present just in case.
In McCulloch v Riach and Another 1999 SCLR 159 – in the special circumstances of that case a Sheriff's decision at a Child Welfare Hearing to dismiss an action for residence was upheld by Sheriff Principal Maguire. Interestingly, in comparing Options Hearings with Child Welfare Hearings, the Sheriff Principal referred to Rule 9.12 (1) where a Sheriff requires to seek the expeditious progress of a case, whereas in Rule 33.22 A (4) a Sheriff at a Child Welfare Hearing requires to seek to secure the expeditious resolution of disputes. Sheriff Principal Maguire accordingly followed Sheriff Principal Risk in Hartnett v Hartnett. In Ross v Ross 1999 GWD 9-863 Sheriff Principal Bowen did not disagree with the reasoning in these two cases.
He indicated, however, that in this case as no indication had been given to the parents that there was no likelihood that the action would be dismissed at the Child Welfare Hearing, the Sheriff's Interlocutor required to be recalled. Sheriff Principal Bowen indicated that it was unrealistic for parties attending a Child Welfare Hearing to cover every possible eventuality. Interestingly enough in this case letters had been sent by the elder children, the contents of which were not disclosed. Sheriff Principal Bowen indicated that whilst the views of children on occasions were appropriately confidential, regard also had to be given to the principles of open justice and the requirement to afford parties the opportunity of expressing their views fully.
In Furber v Furber 1999 SLT (Sh Ct) 26 Sheriff Principal Bowen held that a Non Harassment Order could be made at any stage in the proceedings. He further indicated that normally an application for a Non Harassment Order, if done without Proof would require Affidavit evidence. In Heenan v Dillon 1999 SLT (Sh Ct) 32 Sheriff Morrison in Edinburgh tool a different view, holding that a Non Harassment Order was a determined Order and could not be granted ad interim. In Furber v Furber (No.2) 1999 GWD 19-866 Sheriff Principal Bowen on 13th May 1999 commented upon Sheriff Morrison's views. Sadly, at the time of this article, Sheriff Principal Bowen's full decision is not to hand.
In Mearns v Smedvig Limited 1999 GWD 1-4 the Defenders sought to have the Pursuer examined. The Pursuer could not conclude whether the examiner had any medical or other relevant qualifications. Lord Eassie refused the Defenders' Motion. He held that a Court could sist an action if a Pursuer was unreasonable in refusing to be medically examined. In considering this matter however, the Court had to bear in mind the competing considerations that medical examinations constituted an invasion of privacy, weighed against the Defenders not being deprived of the right to have an examination carried out. However an unqualified person might not know whether his examination was having a detrimental effect on the other party to the action. The Pursuer in the present case had intelligible grounds for refusing to undergo medical examination. In this particular case, the request was for the Pursuer to submit himself to examination using the Blankenship System, which appeared to be a novel and unorthodox method of assessing muscular and skeletal disabilities.
Once again the cases referred to in this article are those which, from a personal point of view, appear of interest/importance. Others may, and are perfectly entitled to, take a different view.

Four Things You Will Want To Know Before Investing In Replacement Windows For Your Home
If you want to have the windows in your home replaced, there is a lot of work to be done. All the windows need to be measured and repairs done to the casing. Even if you choose to use replacement windows in your home, they may not be right for every window. You may also need to install new windows, use window film or repair glass in old windows. Here are some things that you may want to know before you install replacement windows in your home:
1. Choosing The Windows Where Replacements Can Be Used
Before you can order replacement windows, you will need to measure windows in your home and decide on the windows where replacements can be used. These are usually standard size windows that are in good condition. You will want to check the openings to see that they are square and do not have any major damage that needs to be repaired.
2. Checking Windows For Damage And Repairing Window Openings
If a window has major damage and is out of square, replacement windows may not work. Sometimes, this damage is minor and you can repair the window by squaring them and adding filler to any wood damage. You can remove the interior trim to adjust windows and add shims to get them where they need to be. It is also a good idea to plan on painting all the windows once they are repaired and replaced.
3. Installing New Windows Where Replacement Windows Will Not Work
When a window is too damaged, replacement windows cannot be used. This means that the entire window needs to be removed and a new window installed in its place. This is something that you will want to do if there is severe rot at the bottom of the window or a lot of damage to the casing. If there is rot, you may also need to do repairs to the wood framing before a new window can be installed.
4. Improving Glass And Windows That Are Not Going To Be Replaced
When replacing the windows in your home, there may be some windows that do not get replaced or have new windows installed. This can be for features like fixed glass and doors with windows. Film can be added to the glass to make these windows more energy efficient. You may also want to consider things like window treatments or shutters to improve these windows in your home.
Replacement windows can be a great solution to add energy efficiency to your home, but understanding the process can make things easier. If you are ready to have improvements done to your home, contact a building contractor (such as Smith & Son Building & Remodeling, Inc.) and talk with them about the needs of windows in your home.

There are many important pieces that work together in creating the perfect kitchen. Cabinets, door styles and colours, handles, door knobs, bench top finishes and appliances.
A kitchen needs to be both beautiful and functional.
At H&H Cabinets, we offer a full project management service, so you don't have to worry about a thing. Everything from materials, appliances, plumbing and electrical, we work with you to discover exactly what you want, the look and style, plus what work is required, we then begin our work and look after the project from start to finish.
Some of Our Works
Kitchen Layout Mistakes You Don't Want to Make!
The areas of greatest activity such as the sink, stove and refrigerator require careful planning.
There should be clear easy access to all 3 items. Regardless of your kitchens, size or shape these 3 areas should be close together, however be positioned so people are not tripping over one another.
One of the biggest complaints is the lack of bench space.
Consider all the kitchen activities that require a benchtop as well as appliances that are left out permanently. You want to allow for as much open bench space as possible. If space allows a good solution for this is to add an island or breakfast bar.
Almost every kitchen has wasted space, however with adequate planning this can be minimised.
Consider installing extra tall cabinets for extra space. Install cabinets over the refrigerator and install shelves across the backs of lower kitchen cabinets.
Kitchen islands are great for additional storage, preparation and serving space.
But unless you have the space to allow for people to be able to move around it easily it may not be a good idea, and in fact waste space. Another important thing to think about is how you will incorporate power to your island.
Not using a professional to help with your ideas can be another expensive mistake.
At H&H Cabinets we offer an in-home consultation. We will go over your ideas and give our suggestions based on our years of experience.
What to think about when looking to update your kitchen
Before you start planning a new kitchen, the first thing to decide is whether you want to just update your existing kitchen or whether you want to do a complete renovation.
Work out what you like and what you don't like, based on this we can advise what will work and if there is something better based on the size of your kitchen and the shape.
How much storage do you need? Based on your current kitchen do you have enough storage?
Where do you want to position the cupboards for your utensils, dinnerware and pots & pans? Having a large pantry is great for most families however accessing items at the back can be quite difficult, resulting in wastage of food. One of the best solutions for this is to use large pull-out drawers, allowing easy access to items stored at the very back.
What appliances or kitchen elements should be positioned close together, such as the fridge and cooking station?
Does the space required for your appliances need to be a special size? For example do you have a slim fridge or a large 2 door fridge?
Do you want to store your gadgets such as kettle and toaster in a cupboard to reduce bench top clutter?
For items that are used regularly this is not the most effective solution, however you can create a cupboard on the bench so appliances can be slid in and out of the cupboard on the bench easily.
You then have to figure out, based on the layout, any constraints that may need to be looked at such as size, position of doors, layout of kitchen etc.
Corner cabinets can be very awkward and difficult to access. These days there are many accessories that pull-out for both under bench and corner cabinets. A pull-out makes it easier to access items stored in the back of the cupboard allowing you to utilise the full space.
Installing bi-fold doors on your cabinets allows you to the leave the cupboard open whilst you are cooking with without it getting in the way.
This is ideal for walk-in pantries, or internal laundries that are in your kitchen.

On Jan. 11, the Trump Administration issued a new guidance to states that will allow them for the first time in the program's history to implement work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients. Under the new policy issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), states can apply for waivers that would allow them to require able-bodied adults to obtain a job, enroll in job training or education programs, or volunteer as a condition to continue receiving Medicaid benefits.
On Jan. 12, Kentucky's waiver for Medicaid work requirements was approved by CMS, making it the first time in history such reforms have been enacted.
Democrats have denounced the move as a heartless and reckless attempt to save money, but the evidence shows Medicaid in its current form is an unaffordable program that disincentivizes work, traps many people in poverty, and fails to provide adequate health care coverage for the millions of people who depend on the program.
Under the Medicaid expansion provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a law passed in 2010 without a single Republican vote, the federal government agreed to pay 100 percent of a state's Medicaid costs for newly eligible enrollees through 2016, but only for those states that expand Medicaid to cover all non-elderly adults with incomes below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Since 2016, the proportion of the costs covered by the federal government has gradually been reduced and will continue to do so until 2020, when the federal share will be 90 percent.

Solar Cells get the Lead Out
Tuesday, May 6, 2014 @ 12:05 PM gHale
There is a new solar cell in development that has good efficiency and uses tin instead of lead perovskite as the harvester of light.
The low-cost, environmentally friendly solar cell is easy to make, using no fancy equipment or hazardous materials, said researchers at Northwestern University.
Solving Thin Film Solar Cell Mystery
From Copper to Solar Cells
Fuel Cell View: Splitting Hydrogen
Hybrid Fuel Cell Energy from Biomass
"This is a breakthrough in taking the lead out of a very promising type of solar cell, called a perovskite," said Mercouri G. Kanatzidis, an inorganic chemist with expertise in dealing with tin. "Tin is a very viable material, and we have shown the material does work as an efficient solar cell," said the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison professor of chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. He also led the research.
The new solar cell uses a structure called a perovskite but with tin instead of lead as the light-absorbing material. Lead perovskite has achieved 15 percent efficiency, and tin perovskite should be able to match — and possibly surpass – that, he said. Perovskite solar cells are the "next big thing in photovoltaics" and have reenergized the field, Kanatzidis said.
He developed, synthesized and analyzed the material. Kanatzidis then turned to Northwestern collaborator and nanoscientist Robert P. H. Chang to help him engineer a solar cell.
"Our tin-based perovskite layer acts as an efficient sunlight absorber that is sandwiched between two electric charge transport layers for conducting electricity to the outside world," said Chang, a professor of materials science and engineering at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Their solid-state tin solar cell has an efficiency of just below six percent, which is a very good starting point, Kanatzidis said. Two things make the material special: It can absorb most of the visible light spectrum, and the perovskite salt can dissolve and it will reform upon solvent removal without heating.
"Other scientists will see what we have done and improve on our methods," Kanatzidis said. "There is no reason this new material can't reach an efficiency better than 15 percent, which is what the lead perovskite solar cell offers. Tin and lead are in the same group in the periodic table, so we expect similar results."
Perovskite solar cells have had a sheltered and short life. They came into existence in 2008 and have only seen action in a lab setting. In 2012, Kanatzidis and Chang reported the new tin perovskite solar cell with promises of higher efficiency and lower fabrication costs while being environmentally safe.
"Solar energy is free and is the only energy that is sustainable forever," Kanatzidis said. "If we know how to harvest this energy in an efficient way we can raise our standard of living and help preserve the environment."
The solid-state tin solar cell is a sandwich of five layers, with each layer contributing something important. Being inorganic chemists, Kanatzidis and his postdoctoral fellows Feng Hao and Constantinos Stoumpos knew how to handle troublesome tin, specifically methylammonium tin iodide, which oxidizes when in contact with air.
The first layer is electrically conducting glass, which allows sunlight to enter the cell. Titanium dioxide is the next layer, deposited onto the glass. Together the two act as the electric front contact of the solar cell.
Next, the tin perovskite — the light absorbing layer – sets into place. This occurs in a nitrogen glove box — the bench chemistry happens in this protected environment to avoid oxidation.
On top of that is the hole transport layer, which is essential to close the electrical circuit and obtain a functional cell. This required Kanatzidis and his colleagues to find the right chemicals so as not to destroy the tin underneath. They determined what the best chemicals were — a substituted pyridine molecule — by understanding the reactivity of the perovskite structure. This layer also deposits in the glove box. The solar cell is then sealed and can come out and jump into action.
A thin layer of gold caps off the solar-cell sandwich. This layer is the back contact electrode of the solar cell. The entire device, with all five layers, is about one to two microns thick.
The researchers then tested the device under simulated full sunlight and recorded a power conversion efficiency of 5.73 percent.

Cosmetics are becoming increasingly popular by the day in many different fields. It is not to say that they were any less popular before, but their overall popularity is touching different heights altogether. Quality brands like Kylie cosmetics UAE are not only making a lot of buzz lately but they are also being sold in big numbers. The most interesting thing about these brands is that they are making room for themselves on different ecommerce platforms as well. You can ask the usefulness of selling brand on such websites but the question becomes moot when you see the immense popularity of the said website. Likewise, you might see the popular cosmetics and other brands being sold on thousands of ecommerce marketplaces. Call it the new revolution if you like but the ecommerce market is spreading its influence at an alarming pace. If things kept the same way as they are at the moment, chances are that we might see these stores taking over the market slowly, but surely. When we talk about the popularity of cosmetic items, we find out that they are being used in almost every sphere of life. Of course, the type being used in some specific field depends on many things but their use is not in question.
Cosmetics are becoming more popular for another reason, the newer brands offer better quality and are a little cheaper than their more expensive counterparts. It is a matter of how competitive one brand can be against another, which is something that came into being as a result of the concepts of globalization and free market. Essentially, to get a sizeable share in the market, all you need to do is to offer your product at slightly less price and enhance its quality. Both these will not only help your product gain a decent chunk of market share, but it will exceed the expectations in little time. Here is more on this so continue reading and stay tuned:
Quality Nor Quantity
Perhaps the most important reason for a smaller brand to jolt its bigger competitors is by making its competitive brand. You can do that by improving quality as well as enhancing its availability. Part of that has to do with the fact that the little known brand is also liked by the masses. If it is, and people like to buy it in numbers, know that your cosmetic is going to sell well in numbers. Know that your product may not sell as well in every segment of the market so make sure to focus on segments where it is doing well and ignore those where it struggles.

Getting Fit Can Be Easy By Following These TipsThe body's desire to keep the fat off and the muscle on is only natural. Your mind will want to satisfy this desire, and by doing so you will create a more physically fit and mentally confident version of yourself. This can be achieved in less time and work than you might believe.
A great way to stay fit is to take periodic pictures of yourself. By looking at pictures of yourself, you'll be able to track your progress and they'll also keep you motivated. You can also share these pictures with others to help motivate them in their fitness goals.
A great way to help you get fit is to invest in a decent home gym. Sometimes gym memberships can be too expensive or they can even be inconvenient. By having a home gym, you can workout whenever you want, from the comfort of your own home.
Despite what some say about this, do not exercise on an empty stomach. You need fuel in order to exercise and also to avoid passing out which can be dangerous. Even something small, like some fruit and low-fat yogurt, can help make a big difference in your daily workout routine.
Keep your workouts varied by including a wide range of exercises. This will keep you focused and motivated so you keep coming back for more every day. Also, once your muscles become acclimated to a particular set of exercises, you stop getting as much benefit from that workout.
For a healthier diet, try limiting beef intake to one day a week. Fill the other days with leaner, healthier cuts of meat such as chicken and fish. Giving your body a variety of meats will allow you to digest properly and to experience flavors that are better for your inner body.
Set smalls goals when trying to increase your fitness level. For example, if you want to lose 50 pounds you should make your initial goal to lose 5% of your weight. Meeting http://blogs.rediff.com/devin11blair/2017/08/31/consume-right-with-these-easy-nutritional-tips/ will boost your confidence and resolve. If you would like to run a 5k spend some time improving your mile time and then go on to longer distances.
As you prepare for a strength training workout, skip the pre-workout warmup on the treadmill. Instead, increase the efficiency of your workout by spending those fifteen minutes warming up the targeted muscle groups that you will be working on during your session. You can then spend those fifteen minutes on the treadmill, after you complete your routine.
You can get a great workout while you do everyday things such as shopping. Add a bit more walking to your trip by parking further away from your location. Try walking for at least 10 minutes a day to see results. When shopping in the mall, try walking the full length of the mall.
A fun and exciting way to change your exercise up is to replace one or two exercises with sprinting. A sprint in a park will allow you to enjoy the scenery while having an intense aerobic workout. It requires no special training, however you should speak to a doctor before starting.
Don't overcompensate for exercise by eating more food, or you will simply end up taking in excess calories. While exercise does increase your nutritional needs, the increase is not noticeably large. You don't need to make a conscious effort to increase your food intake unless you are working out for several hours a day.
A great fitness tip is to make sure you get the right running shoes. It's not wise to run in shoes that aren't specifically designed for running because you can get seriously injured. You can easily sprain your ankle. Good running shoes are well worth the money.
Motivate yourself in your own fitness goals by motivating others. You can have a huge impact on your own well being when you encourage someone else. It does not matter if it is a friend, or family member, you chose to build up. Improvement will breed improvement and you will both win.
When you get home after a long workout, make sure to get as much rest as possible. As collagen boosting foods around the world sleep, your body builds muscles, which will increase your chances of looking the way that you want. Also, sleep helps to reduce anxiety, which can go a long way in hitting your fitness goal.
A good tip for weight lifters is to ditch their weight belt. While it is true that a weight belt offers support to your back, it is important to realize that continuous use of a weight belt can weaken both your lower back and your abs. If you must use a weight belt make sure to workout your back accordingly.
Should you eat collagen? Guidance for trying this supplement - NOLA.com
Should you eat collagen? Guidance for trying this supplement - NOLA.com I've been writing about the health benefits of collagen for quite some time, and also supplementing with it daily for about a decade. I believe in and have experienced the health benefits of collagen first-hand, so I'm happy to see some studies showing positive results.
A great way to get motivated once again if you are stuck in a rut in your fitness plan is to buy a new pair of gym shoes. Shopping always makes everyone feel good in general, but when you buy a new pair of gym shoes it's like getting a brand new tool to help you reach your fitness goals. increase collagen production gear 'll feel empowered as well as responsible for using great new shoes that you just spend your hard earned money on.
After your workout and only after your workout, make sure to have a lot of sugar. Sugar helps to carry vital proteins to the muscles that you have just worked on. It is important not too have too much sugar other times of the day, as this could actually dehydrate your body.
Staying fit doesn't necessarily require a membership to the gym. Even with work and family obligations, it is still easy to squeeze a fitness routine into your week. The information in this article gives you a host of ideas on unique and interesting ways to get in shape. Find the ones that appeal to you, and get to work on developing a personal fitness program that you'll actually look forward to putting in place.

- Friday: After I decided to actually clean up and show myself in public.....I went shopping and performed some random ancillary errands. Marshall was in tow and I must say I enjoyed my 'our' time together. Of course, the finale of a Happy Meal for him was the final touch. At 2, the fam damily went to Michael's Halloween party at school. Other than the stifling heat, we all had a good time. I am about tired of the school system complaining of lack of funds but they don't adjust the thermostat????? Our tax money hard at work!
- Saturday started with IHOP. Mom drove up to visit for the weekend and decided to take us out for breakfast. It was a lovely treat and to see Marshall eat with both his left and right hand was quite the site. Even the young couple (early twenties, yikes) sitting next to us noticed the strange fork/knife dexterity involved with my three year old cutting pancakes.
Apparently, Marshall had been entertaining them with this display for a good 10 minutes. We all went shopping for a couple of hours, came home to put Marshall down for a nap, and Mom and I ventured out for a 40 minute walk to burn off our late breakfast. I made a yummy tortilla soup with a rather large loaf of garlic bread and trick or treating we went. Michael is now big enough that he would rather go with friends :( So, Mom and I went with Marshall, my friend Heather, her boyfriend, her daughter and his three sons! We were quite the caravan of folk! Mike stayed home to make a huge fire in the outdoor fireplace and to hand out candy. The last trick or treater (is that a word?) graced our porch at 8:45 which personally I fill is a little late but that could also be my age talking.
- Sunday was sweet due to a little thing I like to call 'an extra hour'. Mighty fine! Mom went to church with us but had to hit the road when we got home. After settling down to do his homework I noticed Michael wiggling a tooth that has been loose for at least a century. I bribed him with a Wii game of his choice. TADA....the tooth is now out of his mouth and he is the proud new owner of Wii Sports Resort! Funny how that works. Then it was off to soccer at two o'clock which they lost by one point. Dangit! They were 4 points down in the 4th....had a good rally at the end.....but to no avail. We got home and I was so mad the Vikings game was not going to be aired on regular TV so we dropped the boys off at Mimi's (grandmother) and braved a smoke filled sports bar to watch it. Boy, you should smell my pillow this morning......I should have washed my hair last night before I went to bed. How do people walk around smelling like that....BBBLLLEEECCCKKKK!

They are a great company and I would certainly recommend them to others!

Total Bellas S02E04 Recap and Full Show Video
Like every parent, Brie and Daniel are thinking about the future for the soon-to-be Birdie, and on tonight's episode, they discussed who would take care of the little one should something terrible happen and they are no longer able to do so. Brie's first choice of godparent is, logically, darling Nikki... but there's a catch named John Cena, who has steadfastly indicated that he does not want little Faces that Run the Place, either with Nikki or anyone else. Bummer.
So, Brie -- at her final maternity shoot, no less -- makes the next logical choice: her brother, JJ, and his wife, Lauren.
Perhaps as is to be expected, Nikki feels some type of way about all this. Also perhaps as is to be expected, Cena is an even bigger pain in the ass than we all realized prior to this. In the car, Cena -- who, at this point, hasn't asked Nikki to marry him -- flips out when he realizes that Nikki hasn't set up a will or a living trust. But when Nikki tells Cena that she wants him to have power of attorney so he can make life-and-death decisions on her behalf if she becomes incapacitated, it takes about 2 seconds for Cena to say "nope." Classy!
Naturally, this opens up a whole new can of worms involving Nikki and her place in John's life, and why he hasn't married her, and kids, and all of it.
She even goes so far as to try to convince herself that it's okay to just be "life partners" with someone else. (Girl...)
"He's been saying he's for marriage for how long and I still haven't been proposed to," Nikki said. "But there is nothing wrong with being life partners." (Girl...!)
Of course, then -- spoiler alert! -- it gets revealed in the hot tub that Cena just MIGHT be changing his mind about not being married after all.
Now, while it was great that Cena made this nice reveal to Nikki via a surrogate (and we all knew it was gonna happen, given that Cena and Nikki are facing off against The Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania), and while Cena can certainly be a pain in the ass, Brie didn't help the situation by being super-snarky about it.

When I came here, we didn't have an apartment of our own yet. For the first month after my arrival, we shared a 160 square feet (14 square meters) bedroom in a house with we're not sure how many other people. In a neighborhood that is rumored to have had the highest homicide rate in all of the US 20 years ago. Wikipedia confirms this, so it must be true.
Picture this: East Palo Alto (a misnomer as it is actually exactly north of Palo Alto) is a dusty, dry ditch populated pretty much entirely by non-white people. Palo Alto is an economic gold mine with exorbitantly priced homes and one of those fabled tech start-ups at every street corner. They are about 160 feet (50 meters) apart from each other. All that physically separates them is the 101 freeway, and a bridge spanning across it.
One side of the bridge is all dirt and potholes, the other side of the bridge is sparkling fountains and tall trees arching over the road and bike lanes.
North of the bridge:
South of the bridge:
Lucky for me, East Palo Alto may still be ugly, but it's far less dangerous now. Gentrification has had its effects, and though the place is still dirty, at least it's no longer dangerous.
I'm sure that white poodle that always strolled around the neighborhood without a leash on and without an apparent owner is part of the new neighborhood watch.
To my suprise, sharing a tiny room between the two of us wasn't so bad, as I was alone in there pretty much all day. And sharing the house with (rough estimate) 10 Mexican migrant workers wasn't so bad either, because they were also working all day and otherwise clean and quiet. I never found out how many there were, because there seemed to be a very high fluctuation. I suspect there were 10 – counted by the number of cars that parked in front of the house at night. The only constant face was the guy who slept on a floor matress outside our door. But even his name I never learned.
The actual challenges of living there were things I hadn't expected: our Mexican neighbors playing Mexican pop songs (and Céline Dion) at full blast from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. every evening, and their cocks' crowing waking us at 5 a.m. every morning. Around 10 a.m., when I was trying to get some work done on my laptop, they'd usually tend their tiny front yard with extremely loud machinery such as leaf blowers and gasoline-powered hedge trimmers.
Whenever the neighbors were quiet, I was entertained by a turbaned elderly Indian-looking ice cream vendor who drove his shabby ice cream truck by our window at five minute intervals, always playing the same melody, over and over again.
In between the Indian ice cream vendor's rounds, an elderly Asian lady pushed her candy cart down to road, incessantly ringing a bell to anounce her coming. She was usually closely followed by a young Latino drawing a hand car full of tamales for sale. His prefered method of noise harassment was a squeaky horn.
I have now developed a thorough dislike of food vendors. I also found out that that ice cream truck jingle is a thoroughly racist song which justifies me in my violent hatred thereof:
After four weeks, my ghetto experience ended. We found an apartment in a different area after just one afternoon of nervous searching. We saw it, liked it, and put down $150 to have it put off the market and reserved for us immediatly.
On September 30th, 2014 we finally moved.

UK Hospitals to See Sugar Tax
January 18, 2016 Taxation in UK
LONDON – The UK will see a sugar tax within 5 years, but, so far, it will be implemented only in hospitals and health centres.
The CEO of the UK National Health Service Simon Stevens is urging for a sugar tax to be enacted in all vending machines and cafes in the UK by the year 2020.
The so-called sugar tax will be enacted on the sale of sugary drinks and other sugar laden foods provided in all local health centres in the country, and most acute, mental health and community services hospitals.
No set rate has yet been proposed for the tax, but it was revealed that the price increases will be enacted over the next few years as new supply contracts and product lines are launched.
It is estimated that if the tax was set at approximately 20 percent, it could raise approximately GBP 40 million per year, which would be used to launch new health programs and provide extra funding for staff healthcare.
The CEO noted that the tax will not only benefit the general public, but also the workers of the NHS, saying that the measure will help ensure "…the sustainability of the NHS itself."

McCoy wants the ball, plans to carry Eagles
LeSean McCoy ran for a franchise-best 217 yards against a stout
run defense in blizzard-like conditions.
Look out Chicago Bears.
The NFL's leading rusher faces the league's worst run defense on
Sunday night when the Philadelphia Eagles (8-6) host the Bears
(8-6) in a matchup of division leaders.
After playing their last home game in six inches of snow against
Detroit, the Eagles are getting ready for unseasonably warm
temperatures. Forecasters are calling for a high of 70 degrees on
Sunday with possible rain.
Sounds like running weather for McCoy.
"It might be 300 (yards)," he joked. "Weather doesn't matter.
We'll play anywhere. Cold, snow, rain, we need this game."
McCoy, a 2011 All-Pro, is having another outstanding season. The
fifth-year pro leads the league with a career-high 1,343 yards
rushing and is 170 yards away from breaking Wilbert Montgomery's
single-season team record.
"If it happens, it happens," McCoy said. "One of these years,
I'll break it."
McCoy is trying to become the first Eagle to lead the NFL in
rushing since Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren did it in 1949. He's
122 yards ahead of Adrian Peterson. Beating the Bears and helping
the Eagles secure a playoff spot is far more important, of course.
McCoy has a simple game plan for success.
"I feel like this game, I want to put the offense on my back,"
McCoy said. "I want to roll. I want to get going. I think that me
and the guys up front, we have to set the tone. I think once we do
that, we can worry about the other teams. For right now, I feel
like the big guys up front and myself, we need to put this game on
our backs and take care of business."
That sounds perfect for the offensive line.
"We love that kind of stuff," left guard Evan Mathis said.
"We love smash-mouth football and being able to take over a game
like that, and it's way easier when you have a back like
The Eagles are coming off a disappointing 48-30 loss at
Minnesota. McCoy followed up his performance against the Lions with
only 38 yards rushing on eight carries against the Vikings.
Coach Chip Kelly didn't call many running plays for a couple
reasons. First, the Eagles fell behind early and were trying to
catch up quickly. Second, the Vikings were missing their top three
cornerbacks and Nick Foles threw for 428 yards.
"Good thing about Chip is he's so competitive that if I say
something to him, he won't take it in a negative way. He
understands I want the ball," McCoy said. "He's an offensive
genius. I don't have to tell him that I need the ball or I want the
ball. He knows what plays we need to run at the right times. I
don't know that stuff. If you ask me, yes I want the ball every
play, but that's for any player. He knows when to run it and when
to throw it and when to get his playmakers the ball."
The Bears have allowed 152.4 yards rushing per game, including
198 or more five times in the past eight games. The return of
seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs should help Chicago.
Briggs has missed the last two months because of a shoulder
Then again, even the best defenses couldn't stop McCoy.
"He cuts on a dime. There aren't too many guys who can cut like
him in the league," Bears defensive lineman Corey Wootton said.
"You just see the movements he makes and how he makes people miss,
so it's crucial that we rally to the ball, get a bunch of guys
there and try to get the ball out."
NOTES: Eagles nickel cornerback Brandon Boykin was cleared to
practice Thursday after sustaining a concussion on a kickoff return
vs. the Vikings. Boykin is an important part of the defense,
especially against WRs Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery this
week. … Safeties Kurt Coleman (hamstring) and Colt Anderson
(knee) are more uncertain, but starting safety Earl Wolff is
expected back after missing four games with a knee injury.

My timeline on twitter is exploding.
I'm just going to update as things happen and include what i find important.
off, there's some speculation as to why Harry had his party on saturday
instead of sunday, which is his actual birthday. I Don't know why
people are speculating so much, but as far as i'm concerned there are
different posibilities:
1: He had the party on saturday, because he's having a more quiet and private party on sunday (with family and such).
It it more practical for everyone involved that it's on a saturday and
not a sunday. At least if anyone who were at the party has normal days
jobs (which they might not hahaha).
3: McBusted are apparently flying out to Australia on sunday. It would make sense if 1D joined them before the tour starts.
...But ultimately i don't really think it matters why he had the party on saturday. I just hope he had a good time.
Some people are now claiming to have photos of Louis and that Harry left the party:
People are continuing to say that they haven't spotted Nadine at any point during the evening, but that both Kendall and Cara were there.
There's also more pictures of guests at the party:
@1DBackstagePlease provided these pics. She is like everyone else claiming that she didn't se Nadine, but that Louis was there. She is also claiming, amongst others, that there was allegedly a photo booth at the party, according to some guests and staff attending... I really hope we'll get a photo booth photo-spam.
People who have been confirmed to be at the party via. pics so far:
Alexa chung, Rita Ora, Adele, Julian, Jeff Azoff, David Beckham, Cara Delevigne, (enlighten me if you know the names of he rest of these famous people on the photos, haha)
People who have been claimed to be at the party, but without proof:
Liam, Sophia, Louis, Calum, Jennifer Lawrence, Kendall Jenner, Ashley Benson (didn't even know they were associated??), Kelly Osbourne,
I'll Update when something happens.

git-annex config - configuration stored in git-annex branch
git annex config --set name value
git annex config --get name
git annex config --unset name
Set or get configuration settings stored in the git-annex branch.
git config settings, these settings can be seen
in all clones of the repository, once they have gotten their
git-annex branches in sync.
git-annex does not check the git-annex branch for all settings. Only a few make sense to be able to set such that all clones of a repository see the setting, and so git-annex only looks for these:
These settings can be overridden on a per-repository basis using
git config.
Set to false to prevent the git-annex assistant and git-annex sync from automatically committing changes to files in the repository.
Set to false to prevent merge conflicts in the checked out branch being automatically resolved by the git-annex assitant, git-annex sync, git-annex merge, and the git-annex post-receive hook.
Set to true to make git-annex sync default to syncing content.
Set to true to indicate that the repository should only use cryptographically secure hashes (SHA2, SHA3) and not insecure hashes (MD5, SHA1) for content.
When this is set, the contents of files using cryptographically insecure hashes will not be allowed to be added to the repository.
Also, git-annex fsck` will complain about any files present in the repository that use insecure hashes.
Note that this is only read from the git-annex branch by
git annex init, and is copied to the corresponding git config setting. So, changes to the value in the git-annex branch won't affect a repository once it has been initialized.
Suppose you want to prevent git annex sync from committing changes to files, so a manual git commit workflow is used in all clones of the repository. Then run:
git annex config --set annex.autocommit false
If you want to override that in a partiticular clone, just use git config in the clone:
git config annex.autocommit true
And to get back to the default behavior:
git annex config --unset annex.autocommit

This morning I decided to lay a bit longer in my cosy, warm bed since I'll be working til 10 pm.
Then I got up and tried to figure out what to eat- and sometimes I have no ideas at all, and then on other days, like today, I'd like to eat everything at once.
So I went for strawberries. Strawberry everything. And I remember having such a breakfast a long time ago and I also blogged it back then.
My breakfast today was some Kellogs Crunchy cereals which I really love! I added some fresh strawberries and cinnamon. I had some strawberries left so decided to chop them up along with a banana and to eat them too.
And as always I had an Earl Grey tea with lemon, cause I couldn't go a day without a cup! :D
And now I'm already having lunch cause I'm off to work and I don't want to be hungry because that would be a nightmare. ;)
My favourite fruits are strawberries and watermelon ( I can't wait to buy them constantly!!). What are yours? :)
Have a good Friday everyone! :)

We will be using the reach and wash system provided by Ionic Systems Ltd to access and clean all of your windows. This method uses only purified tap water and no chemicals or detergents making it 100% safe for people, plants, pet's, children and the environment it is used in. The water is purified at our base and transported with us in our vans. We will arrive with all the equipment we need to carry out this work. Our purified water is pumped from the van along hose lines and up telescopic poles, which we use to scrub dirt from your frames, sills and glass. All we ask is that access around your property is available and that all your windows and doors are closed. Once cleaned, surfaces are left to dry naturally as is normal in this method, because the water is so pure it dries leaving no marks at all.
We are able to clean to a height of 4-5 storeys or 60ft. We are only able to clean along a clear line of sight, some angles or high recessed surfaces my not be possible to clean. We also use this method to clean conservatory roofs and fascia and soffits.

We will use a powerful wet and dry vacuum, which reaches, from the ground up and into your gutting to a maximum height of 40 feet.

Ouch. Another employee bites the dust and these days your turnover is looking worse then Jay Cutler's (Sorry I'm a Lions fan.) Besides turnover, there are several other signs that you kind of stink at hiring. Sorry to be harsh, but if your business or location hasn't gone down in flames yet, then you are in luck, your hiring process might be still salvageable.
First things first, you must identify why your hiring process sucks. Are you familiar with any of these signs that you aren't that great at hiring?
1. Your turnover is through the roof
Like I said above, if your turnover is extreme right now it might be time to look at who you are hiring. Most of the time turnover can be prevented during the interviewing or assessments stage of the hiring process.
Hireology's own Product Development Director, Margot Baill, wrote in a whitepaper, that:
"Organizations can effectively use turnover to improve employee retention, if done right. Depending on its available time, money and size, an organization can use structured face-to-face interviews with categorical answers, or web-based questionnaires with specific rating questions to elicit honest information.'
Here's how you can limit turnover:
- Develop interviewing guides with questions around the "most satisfying job they've held, least satisfying job they've held" and why.
- Score the interviews
- Utilize the cost-effective behavior assessment: Attendance & Turnover Risk
2. Your employees are stealing from your customers
This is a huge problem. If you have employees stealing from customers, the business, or other employees, you need to take action immediately. However it is better to weed out candidates who may steal from you in the future during the hiring process.
With background checks of course! Background checks uncover candidates who have stolen in the past, have a history of theft, or have done something similar.
Hireology's CEO Adam Robinson, recently wrote a blog article about the case for conducting background checks and he states: "In today's world, you can never be too careful when it comes to hiring new employees. Our increasingly electronic and networked world makes it easier and easier for unscrupulous employees to siphon off thousands of dollars over the course of months, or even years, without you having a clue until it's too late."
If you want to limit potential thieves – start ordering background checks for all final-round candidates.
3. Your culture is as lively as an oil-change waiting room
Did you know, 1/2 millennial employees will leave a job if the culture isn't great? If your turnover is still going strong even after you have taken care of the first two signs then this could be a case of a boring culture.
It's not easy to improve your company culture but it is easy to begin the process.
Start engaging your employees in fun weekly/monthly/bi-monthly events. Maybe it's a sales competition or a team happy hour, whatever event you choose make sure you limit work discussion.
Try offering your employees unusual perks such as: A day off on their birthday, yearly massages, free popcorn in the break room. Anything that would make an employee's day a little brighter will help improve your culture. By implementing some of these tips you will begin to see an increase in candidates and employee referrals.
Think your "weird" and "interesting" interview questions are a way to identify culture fit in new hires? Think again! We did the research, you read the results…

Pic of the week
|Quick, Europe's version of McDonald's, was founded in Schoten, Belgium in 1971. Photo by John Weaver
A couple of weeks ago while on my way to work, I ran into an ex-colleague who was outside having a smoke. She didn't move very far when she changed jobs – her new office is right next door to mine – but when I asked her how she was doing, her answer was miles different from the last time I saw her. She wasn't stressed anymore, she didn't say how busy she was, she didn't complain that her boss expected everything to be done yesterday. No, she said she was doing "Fine."
That was a relief to hear. Not just because I'm happy that my ex-colleague, a really nice lady who was pushed so hard at work that she left with health and anxiety issues, is doing much better. But also for the simple fact that "Busy" seems to be the de facto reply to every elevator conversation I've had in the past few weeks.
I'll admit, I'm guilty of dropping the busy bomb once or twice myself. I guess I just got caught up in the craze. But for a guy from Ohio, which has the best small talkers North of the Mason Dixon line, I should know better because that really is bad chitchat. Unless it's a cry for help, no one wants to hear how busy you are, especially not on a 30 second elevator ride. Here's an example of a recent elevator conversation I've had:
Me: "Hey Patrick."
Patrick: "Oh, hi John."
Me: "How's it going?"
P: "Okay, but not any less busy with the summer holidays."
Me: "I hear ya, it's the same for me."
* Ding. Elevator doors open and Patrick gets out.
* Ding. Elevator doors open and Patrick gets out.
I've either had or overhead some version of this conversation probably 50 times in the last month. Why is everyone so busy? Why am I so busy? Is it just an easy way to get rid of someone, like this quirky little piece in The New Yorker suggests? Or is there a deeper, more frightening social trend going on, one fed by our constant connection to digital devices, where we "need" to be busy doing something (even electrocuting ourselves apparently, this study says) because we can't just relax and be one with our own thoughts, feelings, and emotions anymore?
*Ding. Elevator doors open and that's my exit.

Heidelberg sees successful realignment reflected in strong incoming orders at drupa
Thursday, August 11, 2016
Press release from the issuing company
Creating basis for further growth in year as a whole
As expected, the first quarter of financial year 2016/2017 (April 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016) at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) was shaped by the industry trade show drupa, which took place in late May/early June. Under its "Simply Smart" motto, Heidelberg took the industry's digitization and thus the company's strategic realignment to the next level. The new products and solutions resulted in a high demand for all the company's offerings related to industrial print production and digitization. Accordingly, incoming orders rose to € 804 million as at June 30. Compared to the previous quarter, the order backlog, which is a measure of the Group's future operational development, increased by 67 percent from € 460 million to € 768 million. This strong demand is a solid basis for achieving the targets for the year as a whole.
Successful realignment: Customers invest in industrial print production and digitization
The feedback from customers about the repositioning of Heidelberg was extremely positive. Heidelberg used drupa to unveil its "Fire" digital printing portfolio, which attracted a great deal of attention among visitors to the show and recorded sales success across all product categories. In industrial digital printing, Heidelberg joined forces with Fujifilm to set a new benchmark for packaging printing with the world premiere of the Heidelberg Primefire 106. The success of the launch was underlined by the numerous sales concluded with companies in Europe, the United States, Brazil, China, and Japan. Heidelberg sold the 1000th Versafire – its solution for digital commercial printing – at drupa. The number of these digital systems sold at the trade show alone matched the total for the whole of financial year 2014/2015. In the label market, which is enjoying strong growth, the Gallus Labelfire digital press attracted a great deal of interest from visitors. Further sales concluded during the show confirmed the success of the digital label printing solutions. Thanks to the Fire family, the company has established its position on the market as a digital print supplier.
The backbone for new service portfolios is the Heidelberg cloud, which records and analyzes data from over 10,000 networked machines and 15,000 Prinect software linkups. On this basis, for example, Heidelberg offers its customers preventive service programs to improve machine availability and boost the productivity of the entire print shop.

Okay, so if you decided to pass on the Cult Beauty 10th Birthday Goody Bag that is fine. In the end I did get that one, but if you did not then you can always get the FeelUnique one instead. You can get both as well, no one is stopping you. However, I wanted to tell you about the FeelUnique one as well as this one might suit your needs better.
Personally, I never actually ordered from FeelUnique before, even though I have been tempted to do so many times. They often have a goodie bag and you usually do no need to spend as much as with Cult Beauty, Harvey Nichols or Space.NK.
I always said that the best time to best new beauty products is when there is an offer such as this one, and I maintain what I said. You get free products to love or to try and what can be better than that? Did I also mention that you get them for free? You might just find the new love of your (beauty) life in one of these goodie bags.
Okay, so FeelUnique requires you to make a purchase of £80 or more in order to qualify for the gift.
These are the products that you will get in the gift, if you decide to take on the offer. The products might not be full sized, but then you get a larger variety of products to try. Personally, I have yet to try most of these so I cannot comment on their quality, but the brands are well known and they often come out with high quality products. There is a nice mix of products that cover different aspects of your skin care routine and no makeup. Personally I am glad to see no makeup as makeup is such a personal thing that is hard to get right. Also, there is a Sol of Janeiro body cream which is the best thing ever!!
In addition to these products you will also get an actual bag to store all of these goodies.
The bag itself is pretty fashionable as well. I, for one, would not be embarrassed to wear it out in public.
You can get your beauty bag here.
Photo credits: Feel Unique.

Hey, notable amount of my players are getting kicked for "Wrong signature for file". Files are random, can be vanilla arma files, can be mod files. Doing file check or mod reinstall or game reinstall doesn't help. I've heard that it might be lag related but its a huge server hosted at OVH and they are getting kicked even when server cpu load is 10%.
verifySignatures = 2;
kickClientsOnSlowNetwork = 1;
onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)";
onHackedData = "kick (_this select 0)";
onDifferentData = "kick (_this select 0)";
Any idea what can cause it?
