Bonito Boats, Inc. v. Thunder Craft Boats, Inc.
RESPONDENT: Thunder Craft Boats, Inc.
LOCATION: Circuit Court of Orange County, Florida
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1988-1990)
LOWER COURT: Florida Supreme Court
ARGUED: Dec 05, 1988
DECIDED: Feb 21, 1989
GRANTED: May 16, 1988
Charles E. Lipsey - For Respondent
Tomas Morgan Russell - For Petitioner
Facts of the case
In 1976, Bonito Boats, Inc. (Bonito), a Florida corporation, developed a design for a fiberglass recreational boat and made a model to produce the finished fiberglass boats for sale. No patent application was ever filed for protection. In 1983, the Florida Legislature enacted a statute making it unlawful to use a direct modeling process to duplicate and sell a vessel or part of a vessel. In 1984, Bonito sued Thunder Craft Boats, Inc. (Thunder Craft), a Tennessee corporation, in the Florida district court for violating the statute. Thunder Craft successfully argued that the Florida statute conflicted with federal patent laws and was therefore invalid under the Supremacy Clause of the Eleventh Amendment. The Florida Court of Appeals and the Florida Supreme Court affirmed the district court's conclusion that the Florida law interfered with federal patent laws.
Does a state statute, which prohibits the use of the direct molding process of a vessel that does not have patent protection and the sale of the duplicates, conflict with the federal patent law and therefore make it invalid under the Supremacy Clause of the Eleventh Amendment?

Audio Transcription for Opinion Announcement - February 21, 1989 in Bonito Boats, Inc. v. Thunder Craft Boats, Inc.
Sandra Day O'Connor:
The third opinion for announcement by me today is Bonito Boats, Inc. verus Thunder Craft Boats, Inc. number 87-1346 and this case comes to us on certiorari to the Supreme Court of Florida.
In 1976, petitioner Bonito Boats a Florida corporation developed and marketed a boat hull design which enjoyed great commercial success.
The petitioner did not seek federal patent protection for the design or for the utilitarian aspects of the boat hull or for the process by which the boats were produced.
In 1983, after the hull design had been on sale for some six years, the Florida legislator passed a statute making it unlawful to use the direct molding process to duplicate any manufactured boat hull or the component parts of it without permission of the original manufacturer.
Shortly after the enactment of the Florida law, the petitioner brought suit against the Thunder Craft Boats, a Tennessee corporation, for duplicating petitioner's boat hulls in violation of the Florida statute.
The petitioner sought damages, injunctive relief and attorney's fees for the illegal copying.
The Florida trial court dismissed the complaint.
The Florida Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the dismissal finding that the Florida statute impermissibly interfered with the public use of unpatented designs.
We then granted certiorari to resolve a conflict between the judgment of the Florida Courts and a decision of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit holding that a similar California law did not conflict with the federal patent scheme.
In a unanimous opinion filed with the clerk today, we affirm the judgment of the Florida Supreme Court.
The Florida statute creates patent like rights in design and utilitarian concepts which are left unprotected by the federal patent law.
The statute thus, conflicts with the strong federal policy embodied in the patent laws that unpatented items, in general circulation are the tools of creation itself, free for all members of the public to exploit.
The substantial protection against duplication offered by the Florida law could divert inventive effort away from the requirements of patentability established by congress over the last 200 years.
We hold then that the Florida law is pre-empted by the Supremacy Clause of the Federal Constitution.

text: Of all the different departments within Peninsula, Legal Services is the one that everyone hopes they never have to talk to. This isn't because we're not a friendly bunch or that we're particularly frightening, although that one might be up for debate at times, but because we step in when the matter turns more formal and tribunals are involved. That said, the fact that we argue with people for a living might also account for some of the reluctance to talk to us. Sometimes tribunals cannot be avoided and that is when Legal Services will swing into action. In the last 12 months we brought 3252 matters to conclusion. Of those just over 87% were won or resolved without any adverse finding at Tribunal. We should point out that an adverse finding is not necessarily as bad as it sounds. Some cases where there is a recorded loss are only lost on some of the issues brought. For some it was always known that the case would lose on an aspect but the real issue was on the value and we have argued the figure right down while successfully defending the other issues. There were 2109 cases that included a complaint about dismissal, 906 different issues of discrimination were alleged and 747 monetary disputes, such as wages or holiday pay, were raised. Roughly a third of the cases we handled were for new clients who had an ongoing tribunal when they joined us and about two thirds of our work was for existing clients. In Legal Services we work with our clients to achieve the best possible result whether that's fighting the case at hearing or achieving an appropriate settlement. We hope you never need us, but if you do then you know we are here to fight your corner. For any further information, please call our 24 Hour Advice Service on 0844 892 2772.

THE DAY REPLAYED: The semi-final line-up at the Girls' Youth Olympic Football Tournament Nanjing 2014 is complete after Slovakia and China PR grabbed the last two places following the final round of group matches. The pair lived up to their billing as favourites to go through by recording comprehensive victories and now join Venezuela and Mexico in jostling for a berth in the final. Defeat ended any hopes outsiders Papua New Guinea and Namibia had of picking up a medal.
The results *Group A
*Slovakia 4-0 Papua New Guinea
*There was no holding back among the Slovakian players at the final whistle after writing their names in the history books by recording their country's first victory during their maiden campaign at a FIFA women's tournament. The Europeans started strongly and Laura Sucha's tenth minute strike was followed up by an effort from Martina Surnovska to give them a 2-0 half-time lead. Slovakia continued to dominate after the restart but were often careless in the final third, where Papua New Guinea goalkeeper Eileen Daviaga stood out with several excellent saves. Further goals from Surnovska and the outstanding Veronika Jancova completed the scoreline to send Slovakia into the semi-finals, a feat coach Branislav Petrovic's charges celebrated enthusiastically on their lap of honour. *Group B
*Namibia 0-10 China PR
*The tournament hosts began furiously and created their first goalscoring chance after just a matter of seconds. Wan Wenting and Zhang Jiayun gave China an early advantage before Ma Xiaolan netted a hat-trick to put the side 5-0 in front at the break. The match followed a similar pattern in the second half, as the Chinese carved out numerous opportunities with their fluid attacking play. Xiaolan notched her fourth of the evening and efforts from Jin Kun, Wang Yenwen, Zhang Jiayun and Fang Jie completed the rout, which marked the biggest win in tournament history.
Memorable moments *Olympic spirit
*Alongside the sporting element at the competition, imparting the Olympic values to aid personal development is a central aspect of the Youth Olympics. For the duration of the event, the youngsters from all over the globe reside together in the Olympic Village, where they experience intercontinental exchanges and a sense of community through the cultural and educational programmes on offer. It has produced solidarity and friendship, as could be seen between the players of Papua New Guinea and Slovakia when, with beaming faces, they hugged warmly and bade each other farewell after the final whistle.
*Brave custodians
*They may no longer be able to earn a medal in Nanjing, but the goalkeepers from Papua New Guinea and Namibia would certainly be worthy winners of an award for bravery. Eileen Daviaga went into her team's game against Slovakia nursing a painful finger injury. Not only did she manage to play the full 80 minutes, she also made several eye-catching saves. Daviaga's stand-in goalkeeper, Faith Kasiray, also picked up an injury during the pre-match warm-up but was able to take her place on the bench after receiving medical treatment. Namibia's custodian Queandra Kasume proved she was also made of stern stuff when she took a knock in the first half against China, but was likewise able to continue after a short break in which the team's medical staff attended to her.
The stat 1 - China are hosting their fourth FIFA women's tournament after also staging the FIFA Women's World Cup™ in 1991 and 2007, as well as the Women's Olympic Football Tournament in 2008. The current competition marks the first time the Asians have qualified for the semi-finals as hosts.* Next up *Semi-finals
Venezuela - Mexico, Wutaishan Stadium, Saturday 23 August, 18:00 (local time)
China PR - Slovakia, Wutaishan Stadium, Saturday 23 August, 20:45 (local time)
Play-Off for Fifth Place
Papua New Guinea - Namibia, *Jiangning Sports Centre Stadium, Monday 25 August, 18:00 (local time) *

Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 13 March 2019 – Consortium Witwind is excited to announce it has tendered for the construction and operation of Dutch offshore wind farms Hollandse Kust (zuid) III and IV. Witwind is a consortium with strong Dutch roots consisting of Shell, Van Oord and Eneco.
Collaboration is crucial to achieve the energy transition and all partners in Witwind have a proven track record of successfully collaborating in the development and operation of offshore wind farms. The specific geographical location of the Netherlands is ideal for offshore wind electricity generation. This offers globally competitive advantages in terms of cost benefits, a specialised workforce and export opportunities for the Netherlands. Hollandse Kust (zuid) III and IV will contribute significantly to the renewable electricity supply for the Dutch energy system.
The consortium plans to start operation of the Hollandse Kust (zuid) III and IV sites in 2023. The wind farms are expected to have a total installed capacity of about 760 MW, which is enough to supply around 1 million households with green energy. The wind farms will be situated 20 kilometres off the coast of The Hague in the Netherlands.
Marjan van Loon, President Director Shell Netherlands: 'We are proud to be a part of this consortium that has tendered for Hollandse Kust (zuid) III and IV. Shell wants to play an active role in the Dutch energy transition. Offshore wind will play an important role in the future energy system of the Netherlands and we would be happy to grow our offshore wind portfolio in the Netherlands building on the experience gained in Borssele III & IV and Offshore Windpark Egmond aan Zee.'
Van Oord has been involved in the construction of all Dutch offshore wind farms so far. Thanks to years of experience and knowledge of our people, the deployment of our own innovative vessels and the valuable cooperation with partners, we succeed in staying ahead and thus efficiently building offshore projects in the future.
Ruud Sondag, CEO Eneco: 'At Eneco, we are helping Dutch households and businesses switch to sustainable energy every day. The construction and operation of these new wind farms in the North Sea ensures that many more people can benefit from clean electricity generated in the Netherlands. This is why we are participating in this tender.'
The consortium will not disclose any further details regarding the tender.

It reminds us that even a stopped clock can be right twice a day. Ontario Conservative Leader Patrick Brown has no policies but we know what he is against. He tells us that he will cancel the Liberal Cap and Trade environmental protection plan. He has no idea what he might replace it with but he might be right to get rid of it.
What Brown does not seem to know is that the combination of a federal carbon tax and a provincial cap-and-trade in Ontario and Quebec creates a complex tax on tax on commodities such as gasoline, natural gas and home heating oil. With the cap-and-trade system being hidden—and further confused by being linked to the California and Quebec systems—consumers have no idea how much tax they are paying, and to whom?
Cap-and-trade is not transparent. It is paid at the producer level in a deal-making process with the various provincial and state governments. The consumer only sees it as a higher price once federal, provincial taxes, sales taxes and retail mark-up have been added. And to make matters worse, exporters are paying the cap-and-trade rate too and are less competitive in world markets.
The last time we saw an industry working on its own to say what the carbon cap should be on their industry was Alberta's tar sands exploiters. In nine years of the Harper government in Canada, the tar sands people never did set a cap on their carbon.
Between carbon tax and a cap-and-trade system, carbon tax is the more honest and open system. The bill starts out the same for all manufacturers. You put so much carbon into our environment, here is what it is going to cost you. It is simple, open and honest. The challenge is to the manufacturer to reduce the carbon emissions and reduce the tax. If the carbon is reduced, the tax is reduced. It is easy to see what is happening and all figures are there for the consumer to see.
Obviously, this openness would be too much for Patrick Brown should he ever, accidently, get to be premier. He would be unlikely to ever change it as it would suit his deceptive nature.

Special Report: The 2011 Flood
Jul 25, 2014 04:39PM
By Erica Shames
Students from Bucknell, Bloomsburg, Susquehanna and other universities regionwide canvassed neighborhoods, knocking on doors of stricken residents to offer assistance. Neighbors helped neighbors. Everyone did what they could to help. What follows is just a glimpse of some of the devastation the region experienced last September. The bright spot? We all came together toward one common goal: to emerge safely from a natural disaster.

After eating piles of turkey flavored with the usual sage and oregano, you'll be grateful for leftovers that taste totally different: This soup is fiercely gingery (to revitalize you after a holiday-meal stupor). If you're not a ginger lover, cut back the amount to a few slices.
How to Make It
Bring broth and ginger to a boil, covered, over high heat. Meanwhile, tear turkey into large shreds; set aside.
Add noodles, mushrooms, and broccolini to broth (if using dried noodles, cook noodles first for 2 minutes, then add vegetables). Cook noodles until almost tender, about 2 minutes for fresh and 4 to 5 minutes for dried.
Keep soup at a simmer and add turkey. Stir in hoisin and chili garlic sauces, then most of cilantro and green onions. Ladle into large, deep bowls and top with remaining cilantro and green onions.
*Find fresh noodles in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores and Asian markets, and dried noodles in your grocery store's Asian-foods aisle.

Mercedes-Benz is pulling advertisements from Fox News' top program, The O'Reilly Factor, as a history of sexual harassment allegations against its host, Bill O'Reilly, comes to light.
"We don't feel this is a good environment in which to advertise our products," a spokesperson for the luxury car maker told CNN on Monday.
BREAKING: Mercedes spokesperson tells me it's pulled ads from the O'Reilly Factor pic.twitter.com/CezYfuUnK6
— Tom Kludt (@TomKludt) April 3, 2017
A New York Times investigation published over the weekend found that five women who had accused O'Reilly of sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior had received payouts from either O'Reilly or Fox News — totaling roughly $13 million — to keep quiet.
All five of the women either worked for O'Reilly at Fox News or appeared on his show. "They have complained about a wide range of behavior, including verbal abuse, lewd comments, unwanted advances and phone calls in which it sounded as if Mr. O'Reilly was masturbating," the Times reported.
For his part, O'Reilly denied the merit of the allegations and sought to portray himself as the victim in a statement to the Times. "Just like other prominent and controversial people, I'm vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity," the statement read.
Lisa Bloom, an attorney representing Wendy Walsh, one of O'Reilly's accusers, called for an independent investigation of sexual harassment at Fox News on Sunday, comparing the network to Bill Cosby, who faces sexual assault allegations from dozens of women.
The accusations against O'Reilly come in the wake of a high-profile sexual harassment lawsuit against former Fox Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. Last summer, Ailes was sued by former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson, who alleged that he sexually harassed her and retaliated against her for complaining. Fox settled with Carlson for $20 million in September, half of what Ailes reportedly received in his exit package after being dismissed two months prior.
An internal investigation sparked by the Carlson lawsuit found at least 10 other claims of improper behavior by Ailes. But that investigation was limited in scope to strictly Ailes' behavior and did not extend to the broader culture at Fox News. Shortly thereafter, the New York Times found "a dozen women who said they had experienced some sort of sexual harassment or intimidation at Fox News or the Fox Business Network" and six others who said they witnessed it.
UPDATE 4/3: Hyundai joined Mercedes-Benz in pulling its advertising from The O'Reilly Factor on Monday, citing "the recent and disturbing allegations." In a statement to the New York Times, a spokesman added that "as a company we seek to partner with companies and programming that share our values of inclusion and diversity."
O'Reilly did not address the new allegations against him on Monday's show.
UPDATE 4/4: On Tuesday, BMW of North America added itself to the growing list of companies pulling their ads from O'Reilly's show, BuzzFeed News reports.

During their stay in Orlando, all attendees will receive a complimentary three-day, two-night stay in a Studio Villa(additional nights can be purchased), free admission for up to four guests to the on-site Shipwreck Island Water Parkand access to a Military Resource Fair featuring more than 20 nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting our service members.
The highlight of the weekend will be a patriotic concert headlining Gary Sinise's acclaimed Gary Sinise & The Lt. Dan Band on Saturday, May 11, 2019. Actor and philanthropist, Sinise established the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2011 to honor our nation's defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.
Through the Foundation, the 13-member Gary Sinise & The Lt. Dan Band have performed around the world covering hits from every genre as a thank you and expression of gratitude for our nation's heroes. The outdoor concert will be preceded by activities for the families and complimentary concessions. The concert will culminate in a spectacular fireworks show.
Drawing attendees from across the country, Westgate Military Weekend has become a favorite getaway for military families who have enjoyed the free Orlando vacations to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and homecomings; reconnect with friends whom since have been stationed elsewhere; and spend quality time with loved ones. Past notable appearances at the event have included Grammy Award-winning singer Lee Greenwood and Florida Gov. Rick Scott. In 2018, guests from 37 states and all five branches of the military were represented, as Westgate Resorts also used the event to announce the donation of $50,000 to charitable organizations that support the military.
In addition to the 1,500 free vacations for military families, Westgate Resorts will offer a special 25 percent discount for all U.S. military veterans valid for travel by 11/14/19.

OYO State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde on Thursday inaugurated some commissioners and assigned them portfolios. Below is the full text of Governor Makinde's speech at the inauguration:
When I was sworn into office in May, Oyo State workers had gotten used to late payment of salaries; our vulnerable senior citizens were accustomed to receiving their pension payments in fractions. Our children were unsure about sitting the Primary Six and Junior Secondary School Three terminal exams. Our people were living in a state of despair.
It is not even the politically significant 100 days in office, and many of our citizenries can testify to having partaken of the 'omituntun' my administration promised before we came into office. Salaries and pensions have been consistently paid on time and in full. A few weeks ago, I approved the immediate payment of N280M for pensions and gratuity to 100 civil servants on Grade Levels 1 to 17 who retired from 2012. Students' enrollment in examinations reached what people have called "unprecedented levels" because of our zero fees policy. I also increased the bursary paid to students of the Nigerian Law School from N100,000, which was last paid in 2012, to N500,000. Our administration will continue to prioritise education as the foundation upon which sustainable development will be built. We are gradually easing the pains of our people.
Of course, we still face enormous challenges ahead. We have, literally, only just started. Before we took over, our state's per capita income was about Nine Hundred Naira (N900). Oyo State's per capita is not the worst in Nigeria. But compared to one of our closest neighbours to the West who makeover One Thousand Five Hundred Naira (N1500) per capita, it leaves much to be desired.
My vision in the next four years is to visit and reverse the negative socio-economic indices that have beleaguered Oyo State over the years and make our Pacesetter State set the pace again.
I am happy to report to you that all hands are on deck. I have been intentional in my actions.
I have identified critical areas of focus, and with the help of my recently appointed principal officers, Oyo State's band of civil servants and the co-operation of the good people of Oyo State, we have been working in the areas of Security, Health, the Economy and Education these past seventy eight (78) days.
We have spent some time assessing and consulting with stakeholders at various levels since we assumed office because as our people say, Eni ti o be Ige Adubi ni ise, ara re ni o be. This is no time for trial and error. For every action taken, we must pre-empt and foresee outcomes.
I have visited Adeoyo hospital, Yemetu and the abandoned 10,000 metric tonnes silo in Awe. I have met with Security Chiefs, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, Nigeria Labour Congress leadership in Oyo State, the Nigerian Communications Commission and stakeholders of Shooting Stars Sports Club, one of our two state-owned football clubs.
I have held regional meetings, such as the talks with the Ogun/Osun River Basin Development Authority. I have also held international discussions with representatives of the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce and with representatives of the World Bank.
Our administration reached an agreement with the World Bank to accelerate developmental projects in the state. We will work towards implementing the agreements reached these meetings.
By God's grace in the next few weeks, I will be announcing a new security architecture to tackle the spate of insecurity in our beloved state. As mentioned earlier, I have not been working alone. No one can do this work alone. It takes cooperation and team spirit to move any endeavour forward, and that is why all fourteen of you will be playing a crucial role in the overall development of Oyo State.
I am looking forward to seeing you come up with innovative and creative policies that will accelerate Oyo State's journey to greatness. I imagine you sponsoring bills from your various departments that the Executive can escalate.
But most importantly, I desire to see you make focused, intentional and mindful decisions that show that you put Oyo State and our people above personal interests.
I have had one on one interactions with all fourteen of you. Your various endeavours hitherto have prepared you for this moment. You had successful and fulfilling individual careers in the private and public sectors. I have among you representatives from academia, former legislators, professionals and business people.
But you chose to answer this call to serve. With the formidable track record and CVs you all possess, I am happy that you are not working against me.
And so we are gathered here today to inaugurate the Oyo State Executive Council as stipulated in Sections 192 and 193 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). Their mandate is to direct, supervise and manage their portfolios. It is indeed an honour to welcome you all to be a part of our administration.
Just as a CEO cannot function without a trusted and tested board of advisors that key into his visions, Oyo State cannot make the desired progress unless we work together.
I have presented my vision for the people of Oyo State. As you take up this appointment, I believe you are keying into this vision. As I said in my inaugural speech, I will delegate effectively, but the buck will always stop with me. I hope that you will likewise take responsibility and not pass the buck.
So, come with me, work with me, let us take Oyo State to greater glory.
Together, we can do this!
Once again, I congratulate you all on your appointments.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Long live Oyo State.

5 and 1.0 mg/ml of ethidium bromide, following incubation at 30°C for 48 hours and detection under UV light. Genes with a role Alpelisib mw in cell division and envelope
biogenesis In our data set the dnaA gene encoding a protein controlling chromosome YM155 ic50 replication initiation had increased expression in the tolC mutant. In C. crescentus DnaA controls expression of approximately 40 genes involved in, amongst others, DNA replication, recombination and repair, cell division and cell envelope biogenesis [41]. Expression profiles of genes putatively regulated by DnaA and involved in DNA replication, such as genes encoding subunits of DNA polymerase III, DnaB helicase, single strand DNA binding protein Ssb, RNase H and DNA polymerase I; DNA recombination (recJ, recN, recR, ruvC); and DNA repair (mutS, mutT, mutM, uvrA, uvrB, uvrC, uvrD, mfd) showed an increased expression in the tolC mutant. ctrA, encoding a member of the two-component signal transduction family involved in silencing replication
selleck chemical initiation showed significantly decreased expression in the tolC mutant. We also observed increased expression of two genes encoding Maf-like proteins (SMc02311 and SMc02792). Expression of a maf-like gene was also increased in S. meliloti after NaCl osmotic shock [30]. In Bacillus subtilis, overexpression of maf results in inhibition of septation, leading to extensive filamentation [42]. To evaluate whether the tolC mutant cells showed morphological Florfenicol changes, microscopic analysis after staining of cells with crystal violet was performed at 17, 24 and 48 hours of growth. No significant differences were seen concerning size or shape of the two cell types at any time point (data not shown). Increased expression of maf-like genes could suggest inhibition of cell division in
the tolC mutant in accordance to the lower optical density observed in the growth curve (Fig. 1). On the other hand, we observed an increased expression of genes involved in chromosomal replication. This apparent contradiction could be explained if, at the time of cell collection and total RNA extraction, the wild-type cells were growing less quickly than the tolC mutant cells, due to entry into stationary phase. Expression profiling of genes encoding enzymes needed for lipopolysaccharide synthesis (LPS), such as the lpxABDKL genes involved in lipid A biosynthesis, and lpsBCDES, kdsA, kdsB and kdtA encoding enzymes for the biosynthesis of the LPS core showed a significantly increased expression in the tolC mutant. Regarding peptidoglycan biosynthesis we observed increased expression in the tolC mutant of murACEFG genes, the undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase uppP and synthase uppS. Three penicillin-binding protein encoding genes (mrcA1, mrcB and dac) and several putative lytic murein transglycosylases (SMc04411, mltB1, mltB2, SMc02785) also displayed increased expression.

Image Factory Photo Booths
Image Factory Photo Booths is the Premier company in Reno Tahoe Photo Booth Rentals.
Tahoe Reno Photo Booth Rentals FAQ'S
How does the booth work?
Simply step into the booth, press the button to start the booth. The live video screen will prompt you with a countdown between each photo taken so that you can be ready. Just 8 seconds after the last photo is taken your prints will be ready. The printer automatically cuts the strip in two. Now you can place the copy of the strip in the scrapbook and use the email kiosk to send yourself a copy digitally.
When should I book the booth for my event?
You should book the booth as soon as possible. Many brides book their booth 6 months to a year prior to the event. Don't make the mistake and wait until the last minute; a booth might not be available.
How do I reserve the booth?
Give us a call or send us an email via the contact us page to check availability. A $300.00 deposit along with a signed contract is required to reserve the booth. The balance is due 2 weeks prior to the event.
All of our booking is done online and very easy to complete!
What form of payments do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, checks, money orders and cash.
How big is the booth?
The Photo Booth measures 4.5 ft. x 6.5 ft. and 7.5 ft. tall. We like to have a space of 10 feet by 10 feet to set up the Photo Booth and Tables.
What do you require to set up the booth?
We require adequate space for the size of the booth and space for a table for the email kiosk and scrapbooking. We will also need a 3 pronged 110 outlet and access to a Wi Fi for the email kiosk.
How many people fit in the booth?
The Photo Booth will fit up to 15 people.
It is fun to have each table from your reception take a photo together!
Are your prices and quality competitive?
Yes! We have made an effort to have the best quality booth and photos at a competitive price. We have found booths similar to ours that are much more expensive and other booths that are lesser quality that are about the same price. The only booths that we have found that may be slightly less expensive are the 2-3 person booth that use poor quality cameras such as a webcam, poor lighting and slow inkjet printers. They also do not have the slideshow or email kiosk technology.
We use a professional Nikon DSLR camera with a high end glass lens that has facial recognition software. Our lighting is professional studio lighting with a main light and a fill; most booths only have one source for light.
We use commercial photo lab quality printers. The prints are produced using dye-sublimation technology, the standard in the photo industry. These printers and prints are much more expensive compared to inkjet, however they yield the best quality images and finish. Many of our competitors use inkjet printing, which is lower quality, the print's require a drying time and are not as durable. Durability is key with photo booths because your guests will carry their prints around in their pocket for the remainder of the evening.
Can you customize the photo strip for my event?
We look forward to creating a design that will be perfect for your event! You can tell us what colors and text you would like to have on your photostrip. You can also send us specific graphics that you would like to use to create a one of a kind look. We will design the strip and forward it to you for your approval.
How many photos can we take?
You and your guests can take unlimited photos throughout the rental period. We will also re print photos for each of your guests that are in the photo. So, if 15 people use the photo booth and would like a copy, we are happy to print one for each person.
Will I receive copies of the photos taken?
Yes, we will provide you with a flash drive of all of the photos taken at your event.
Will you have an attendant with the booth?
We will have a fun and friendly attendant available booth to assist your guests with the operation of the booth, scrap booking and emailing. Occasionally, so many photos are taken the attendant will also need to change the roll of the photo paper as well!
Is your booth wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the booth is wheelchair accessible.
What areas do you service?
We are based out of the Lake Tahoe, Reno area but we are happy to make arrangements to drive to your event. We have been know to go to the bay area... San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, Grass Valley, Central Valley, South Shore Tahoe, Carson City, Fallen, Stead, Sparks, Fernley etc...
What kind of events do you service?
Our booths are booked at Weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Company Events, Holiday Parties, School Events, Proms, Sweet 16, Special Birthdays, Quinceaneras, Corporate Events, Local Fairs, Grand Openings, Conventions, Fundraisers, Trade Shows, Sporting Events. Since the photo booth is portable we can take it almost anywhere you can think of having an event.

Case Interview General Interviewer-led Case Interview
In my previous article, I have mentioned about Candidate-led case interview, in which the candidate will guide through the whole case and ask for more information from the interviewee. Today, I will focus specifically on the Interviewer-led case interview, which illustrates the reserved role of candidate and interviewer.
1. What is a interviewer-led case interview?
In this scenario, the interviewer has a set of different questions that want you to address. In other words, they control the process in a significant way. He or she has the candidate work on specific parts of the overall problem and sometimes disregard the natural flow of the case. The game here is not to solve the one big problem, but rather to every question, every pitch, every mini-case perfectly. Because the evaluation is done on question basis, the level of insightfulness (a.k.a: Business Intuition) required is higher.
2. What is the key of Interviewer-led case interview?
In interviewer-led case, the key to success actually lies in you effectively and elegantly nail all single questions the interviewer throws at you. You can treat each question like each mini case on its own. The best study method here is to tackle and study each question type. Click on the specific link below to find out more.
Here is the wonderful list of the most common case interview questions, ranked by popularity.
3. How to successfully pass the Interviewer-led case interview
- The key lies in the understanding and mastering of all case interview questions. If you are still feeling lost where to begin, you do not need to worry as we have devoted a series of insightful articles for case interview questions for you:
- As you are in candidate-led case interview, make sure to be structural and MECE as much as possible.
- For case interview, never forget to improve your business intuition in order to be able to pick good frameworks or correctly draw spot-on issue trees. We devoted a whole eBook in our End-to-end program for this.
And that's everything you need to know to prepare for a successful candidate-led case interview. Continue your practice by checking out the Case Interview Concepts or revise the Case Interview Basics. Additionally, you join the discussion on our forum page or join millions of other bright-minded individual in our E2E Secret Program. I wish you the best of luck on your case prep journey!

Many countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to pay for temporary coverage through the rental supplier.

It's a beautiful day here again in Byron Bay and this morning we all gathered for our weekly Lexis Coffee Club! It's always great to see some new faces and learn more about everyone. It is also a fabulous way to start off the morning – with a coffee in hand to wake us all up 🙂
We all chatted together, each giving a little bit of information about ourselves and learning new names. Some of this morning's students have just joined us since yesterday so are new to Byron. What an amazing time of year to come! 🙂
Everyone decided to play Uno and things got a little competitive – especially when Annick had to swap her hand of just a few cards in exchange for a much bigger one!
Coffee Club happens here at Lexis Byron every Tuesday at 11.30am (and 2pm for the morning students). It is a chilled atmosphere and a really fun and easy way to improve your English. Be sure to join us in the garden/student lounge every Tuesday! 🙂

In this section we are going to cover two topics which often get grouped together. Monitoring is about detecting problems and anomalies. Observability is about looking into the system and being able to see how it operates. Most systems can be monitored, but not all are necessarily designed to be observed. If we use a microscope as an analogy, observability is the slide.
So let's take a look at monitoring first. With all the components of TiDB being highly available, there is clearly monitoring happening somewhere.
For both the PD server and TiKV servers, high availability is provided by Raft consensus. The Raft group uses a minimum of 3 nodes, so that a leader can be elected without a split-vote occurring. I will link to a description of the algorithm in Wikipedia in the resources, but we can say that the cluster components themselves provide high availability.
The TiDB server has no state or concept of membership, so it does not require Raft for high availability. Instead, it relies on Kubernetes to provide it with replicas, and a
tcp load balancer to route clients to a healthy server. Unhealthy servers can be replaced quickly without moving data around.
So the takeaways for monitoring are:
In the next video we will talk about instrumentation with Prometheus and Grafana.

- Integrated heel cup cushions the back heel to prevent pain and blisters
- Shocks and impact are absorbed by the dense triple layer construction
- Reduced foot odour due to the breathable top layer fabric
- Upper insole can easily be trimmed to fit within any type of footwear
- Feet Sizes UK (Men & Women) – Small 4 to 8 (22 to 26cm) / Large 8 to 12 (26 to 30cm)
Please Note: This product is shipped directly from our supplier in China, and it will take between 10-20 working days to arrive. If you're willing to wait, your patience will be rewarded with a fantastic product!
Support and treat overpronation with Bocan's Overpronation Insoles, which incorporates a raised inner arch to support the arch whenever it rolls inwards too much – sometimes referred to as having flat feet.
Although pronation – the side-to-side movement of the foot when in motion – is natural, excessive pronation (known as overpronation) can often cause injuries as more stress is placed on the muscles, tendons and ligaments due to an intensified inwards movement when walking or running.By combining structure to support overpronation with 3 layers to reduce shocks and impact, the Overpronation Insoles by Bocan, the natural form of your knees, lower leg and feet will be regained everytime you walk and run.

It looks like the soccer stadium vote at the final Austin city council meeting of the session on June 28 will come down to whether to open negotiations exclusively with Columbus Crew owner Anthony Precourt's group or to put the McKalla Place land up for open bid:
Item 64 on the agenda is to approve a resolution that would direct the city manager to begin negotiating with Precourt Sports Ventures for a Major League Soccer stadium at McKalla Place in North Austin.
Item 60 is for a resolution that would direct the city manager to solicit development plans, including those for mixed-use developments, for McKalla Place.
The soccer-only plan is backed by Mayor Steve Adler and councilmembers Kathie Tovo, Sabino "Pio" Renteria, and Delia Garza; the open-bid plan is backed by councilmembers Leslie Pool, Alison Alter, Ora Houston, and Ellen Troxclair. That leaves three swing votes: Greg Casar, Ann Kitchen, and Jimmy Flannigan.
If you're trying to handicap those swing votes, here's their record so far on the Crew stadium debate:
- Casar has said he's in favor of the Crew moving to Austin, but has asked of the McKalla site, "if we put a stadium there, what are we giving up?"
- Kitchen previously introduced a bill to bar city parkland (like McKalla Place*) from being used for a soccer stadium, but ultimately withdrew it.
- Flannigan has said that he's in favor of the McKalla site, "if there is an appropriate agreement and contract."
So if we count Kitchen as leaning against the soccer-only deal, and Flannigan as leaning for, it looks like we could be headed for a very, very busy week of lobbying calls to Greg Casar. He might want to put in a call to Miami to talk to Michelle Spence-Jones for tips on haggling.
*CORRECTION: McKalla Place is indeed city-owned, but Kitchen was reportedly (see comments) opposed only to using city owned parkland for a stadium, not any city-owned land. So if Kitchen is indeed okay with the MLS-only plan, then maybe Casar's phone won't be ringing quite so much off the hook this week.

HOME > Hospitals > Severance Hospital > Departments > Pulmonology > Introduction
Medical examination and treatment of respiratory organ disease from the history of Severance that has begun in 1885 was initiated by F.M. Stites who was the professor of internal medicine at Severance Hospital on March of 1920. Especially, he introduced the concept of isolation room by establishing the tuberculosis patient ward first in Korea while treating respiratory diseases. Also on 26 October 1928, faculty members, students and alumni of Severance Medical School established the Severance Anti-tuberculosis Association first in Korea and actively treated the lung-oriented diseases in connection with tuberculosis. General M.D. Taylor the Commander of US 8th Army and General P.I. Robinson a Staff General of Medicine, impressed by E.B. Struthers who had treated tuberculosis patients in a yard of Severance Chest Clinic from an aid of Church World Service, built the Memorial Chest Hospital on the place of pulmonary function test to commemorate the soldiers died at the Korean Civil War on 25 July 1950 and it made the basis of Severance Hospital development. Currently, 5 full-time professors and 5 instructors (doctors in the department of internal medicine) are in charge of medical treatments and studies for the overall respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, lung cancer and pulmonary infection and for the patients in the intensive care unit.

A crown is a cap, commonly made from porcelain or ceramic, which is used to rebuild and strengthen a weak or broken tooth. Crowns can also be used to improve your smile by changing the shape and colour of your existing teeth. Crowns are commonly used to replace a piece of tooth that has chipped off, recreating the aesthetics of a complete tooth.
What are crowns made of?
If a crown is required for a tooth at the front of your mouth, your Morley Dental Centre, dentist will match the existing colour of your teeth with a porcelain tooth. Sometimes you may choose a lighter colour. Further back in your mouth, a crown can be made of porcelain, however your dentist may recommend a gold crown because of its strength and longevity. Every case is different and your Morley Dental Centre dentist will discuss all of the options available to you.
What is the procedure to place a crown?
All decayed and weak areas of a damaged tooth are removed and your dentist takes an impression of the tooth. This impression is sent to the laboratory for the technician to form a model of your tooth, and then it is returned to the dental practice. In the meantime, a temporary crown will be cemented onto your tooth to protect it. On the next visit, your new crown will be bonded into position and will be ready to use straight away.
Having a crown fitted can significantly improve the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. With a Maven Dental Group crown fitted, you will be able to smile with confidence, content in the knowledge that no-one will be able to tell that your teeth were ever anything less than perfect.
A bridge is a solution for a missing tooth or teeth. Dental bridges 'bridge' the gap created by one or more missing teeth. The crown replacing the missing tooth is joined to crowns made to fit over the neighbouring teeth. In this way, the bridge, made up of three crowns, is supported by the teeth either side of the gap. Sometimes more than one missing tooth can be replaced in this way.
What is the procedure of having a bridge fitted?
During your first visit, the teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared. These teeth are recontoured by removing a portion of enamel, leaving them in a tapered shape, to allow room for a crown to be fitted over them. An impression of your teeth is sent to the laboratory for the technician to form a model of the bridge. Your dentist will make a temporary bridge for you to wear to protect the exposed teeth and gums while your bridge is being made.
At your next appointment, your temporary bridge will be removed and the new one will be checked and adjusted, then the bridge is permanently cemented into place.
How do I know if I need a bridge?
If you have one or more missing teeth a bridge may be the solution for you. Bridges are important for both functionality and cosmetic reasons, as a missing tooth can affect how you chew and basic oral function, as well as cause you to feel self-conscious about smiling, laughing and talking. In this way, having a bridge fitted is a simple and effective way to address both issues helping you to feel better about your oral health in general. A bridge is also a less invasive and more cost-effective way to fill a gap compared to an implant, however is not expected to have the same durability.

Since the passing of Measure 91, adults 21 and older are allowed to visit dispensaries and purchase legal marijuana! As the largest city in Oregon, Portland is a huge tourist city known for its legal marijuana, beautiful mountain hikes, microbreweries, and parks. While visiting, also be sure to check out Washington Park, the Japanese Garden, and the Oregon Zoo.
In Portland, there are two different laws depending on if you are on private property or in a public area. In public, you are allowed to have one ounce of cannabis, five grams of concentrates or extracts, 16 ounces of edibles, 72 ounces of marijuana-infused liquids, ten cannabis seeds, and four immature plants. The rules remain the same for everything else but flower in private residences, in which case you are allowed to have eight ounces of marijuana.
The same rules apply to everything but flower. Medical patients who are registered with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program can purchase up to four ounces of cannabis.
As of July 1, 2015, residents of Oregon can grow up to four plants in their home regardless of the number of people who live there. So, if three people live there, that does not mean 12 plants. Four cannabis plants is the legal limit.
Adults 21 and older can purchase marijuana between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. Each dispensary can have its own hours so be sure to check before heading there.
As it becomes easier and easier to legally obtain marijuana for medical and/or recreational use in states across the U.S., it is important to remember the struggles that marijuana advocates have had to endure in the fight for the legalization of mari...

Put in an order at Cola Cove today. Ordered a strain on line called Sweet Thunder, went & picked up and found it was not what I ordered when I got home, but "Sweet Tarts" a strain that sucked. They changed the name on the product listing online to avoid the candy copyright of "SweetTarts" but of course, on line its Sweet Thunder. If I had known I would have never bought. Cause I've already wasted money on this horrible strain. I'm also not happy because your employees just basically said, "TOO BAD!" They said, "It was named properly in the store! But I didnt order in the store, I ordered on line. and again "sorry but not sorry." Now im stuck with 3/4 of oz of lame, dull bud. I wont ever go back. Shoot I can get a better deal at Chalice or if desperate, Nectar.
Do not go here! The first I went, had great prices on cartridges, bought a winberry. The seals on glass tube was not crafted correctly. leaked oil into my battery. I return to have it replaced. They told me it was my fault, I put too much torque on the cartridge. try to blame it on my pocket, even though I only smokes it at home & told them that. I really wish I could give a no star review. They refused to admit manufacturer defect. Blamed me, & sent me away with a broken cartridge. Worst shop in Portland, everyone owns up to their defective product, except for hustlers. Do get scammed like I did. This place is truly GARBAGE!
Very friendly and fun to get your needs. Great prices and they know the business Thanks!
This recreational shop is efficient. I appreciate that everyone has a smile and seems to be happy with their circumstances. The products are top to medium quality overall, which I appreciate. Prices seem to be comparable to other stores. I pretty much go because the flow of the store works well.
I ordered from you and you will not mail what I ordered because you told me that because of the address that the post office would be confused as where to deliver. That is not true--we have lived here 10 years and NEVER EVER had an issue with our mail. I am disabled and know that this is discrimination.e live at Troutdale Terrace and their office address is differant than our specific building address. I am disabled and cannot drive and need delivery. Why is this your policy. Thank you, Susan Miller
Great Budtenders and quick service. Products on par with other locations.
i have been going to the location on Allen and Murry BLVD in Beaverton,Or for over a year now today is my birthday and they kicked me out all cause my ID expired today even though Oregon state law has a grace period of 60 days after it has expired this is bullshit to the fullest I will never go into Nectar again besides their prices are shit their tax is'nt included in the sales price leaving a bad review Nectar sucks royally
Love this place! Always check here before anywhere. Great people, great prices, great product. Sometimes there is a line... Dont get scared lol its worth waiting. Like any place sometimes they get low on stuff too :)
Great weed!
The phone number is disconnected and the site has no up, I think this place might even be closed.
Amazing products, amazing customer service, and great prices. You can really tell the difference here between a delivery only service and a dispensary that is just attaching delivery as a side thing. Highly recommended!
Walk in someone will always say hello they are helpful and friendly nothing bad to say. 😊
Nice, friendly, clean.
Place has been amazingly patient and informative. My wife and I use it holistically. The only drawback is that it is on the pricier side. Clean space with one of a kind service.
Great staff Great house brand My dog is always welcome with me
Nice dispensary, fair selection and price
I like working with Michael Z.
I did get asked if I needed help quickly the bud tender was .. well she seemed distracted. Kinda like either a police officer distracted or a crack head distracted. She appeared to not want to be where she was, as she mumbled something about just getting some kind of degree and ended up here. Oh and lastly she kept my $2 change as if she expected to be tipped... her karma I usually tip a lot more ✌ï¸
My go-to spot. I love their daily deals, glass jars, and the flower is the best quality in Oregon City.
Nice people! They're always genuinely pleased to see me when I come in. The place is big, open and bright, not dark and blindered like most dispensaries seem to be. Great selection of everything except higher CBD product - need more... Ovarall a positive experience.
Long time Chalice Farms customer here. - They're higher priced than the majority of other dispensaries that I've been to in the Portland Metro Area BUT the atmosphere is cool so there's that :) My recent purchase (complaint) - I purchased two pen cartridges. The first cartridge brand: Golden Private Stash (Sour Diesel) has worked perfectly. The other cartridge I was interested in was Purple Hindu Kush (House Cartridge by Chalice Farms).....and the employee just couldn't find it in the drawer for the life of him.... So I was sold on another product made by a company called "Reserve" which failed horribly on first use last night. Literally the bottom of the cartridge disintegrated on first use with wires coming out. So I called Chalice Farms today to see if it was possible to get an in-store credit. I had thrown the receipt in recycling (I made the purchase a couple days before New Year's Eve & had just got around to trying this cartridge out) and wanted take this
Horrible flower. Wack prices. Inconsistent products. Again-HORRIBLE flower
Very helpful and knowledgeable
When we come to Nectar. We always feel welcomed by the staff. They're always very helpful, and honest. And the meds are always top shelf. I'd send anyone there.
It is May 13, 2017. This business has been closed for two years.
