During the past two years the European equity capital markets have shown clear signs of recovery. However, these markets continue to experience more volatility than before the global financial crisis. Virtually every market participant — corporations, private equity firms, institutional investors, as well as investment bankers and lawyers — has been searching for a competitive advantage by using alternative transaction models to raise capital without excessive delays.
In Germany last year, market participants relied on several transaction structures to shorten the time to market, maximize flexibility and generally reduce risk in the capital-raising process. We expect these models to increase in popularity and usage in 2014.
Although the shelf registration process, which permits the approval of a disclosure (registration) document for a securities transaction well in advance of an actual offering, has been available since the EU Prospectus Directive was implemented in 2005, German companies previously made little use of it.
Under the EU shelf registration regime, a company prepares a registration document, a securities note and a summary note — together, the three documents comprise the prospectus for a securities offering. The preparation of a registration document in advance of an actual transaction may significantly shorten the period between preparation and launch of an IPO or a large capital increase. Companies can front-load the most time-consuming preparatory tasks (e.g., due diligence, prospectus drafting, etc.) and the process of obtaining the registration document approval by the German regulator (BaFin). (The registration document is valid for 12 months following BaFin approval. Upon approval and publication of the securities note and the summary note, the prospectus also is valid for 12 months.)
Because the registration document is made public by BaFin upon approval, the company has an up-to-date and thoroughly prepared disclosure document available to support early investor meetings and other premarketing efforts in anticipation of a subsequent equity offering. The downside of this process is that the company needs to spend time and incur legal, accounting and other costs prior to knowing if and when an IPO or capital increase transaction actually can take place. In prior years, the shelf registration process has been used mainly by large German financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and Allianz. To increase financing flexibility, we believe that a broader spectrum of German companies will consider this approach, as documentary preparedness should enable them to take advantage of capital markets windows which have been much narrower and more difficult to predict in the wake of the global financial crisis.
In an attempt to reduce risk, German companies continue to seek contractual commitments from cornerstone (i.e., large institutional) investors in advance of an actual IPO. This requires the availability of certain public company information, which investors can use in making investment decisions and conducting comprehensive due diligence reviews. Pre-IPO cornerstone investors typically will ask for some discount off the subsequent IPO price, and their involvement needs to be disclosed in the IPO prospectus. Cornerstone investors normally do not accept lock-up periods, and their shareholding typically will count toward the minimum free-float requirement for stock exchange listing purposes.
In 2013, Evonik AG completed the largest-ever pre-IPO placement in Germany. Several dozen institutional investors purchased Evonik shares in an aggregate amount of €1.7 billion on the basis of two rounds of global private placements. Because the pre-IPO private placements ended up accounting for more than 10 percent of Evonik's share capital, the company met the free-float and other listing requirements of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange without the need to implement a public offering of its shares. The pre-IPO investors bought their Evonik shares on the basis of publicly available information (without a prospectus), at a discount to the subsequent IPO price and with a lock-up period lasting until the shares were listed on the exchange.
Although a 2013 landmark equity capital markets transaction in Germany, the circumstances of the Evonik pre-IPO placement were quite unique: After three failed IPO attempts and because of public information made available by Evonik to its then-existing bondholders, institutional investors already had sufficient information about the company, enabling them to make an informed cornerstone investment decision without significant further due diligence. The transaction was implemented within a very short time frame (less than two months) with investors from the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Because of the special circumstances surrounding the Evonik pre-IPO (including those related to disclosure), meeting the entire free-float requirement for a stock exchange listing on the basis of cornerstone investments will remain the exception. However, privately and bilaterally negotiated investments by institutional investors prior to an IPO undoubtedly will increase, including in connection with spin-offs of well-documented divisions of public companies or for IPOs of frequent bond issuers, particularly those in the high-yield market.
Undocumented block trades remain an appealing method for German public companies to secure quick access to equity capital markets while avoiding a comprehensive due diligence investigation and preparation, review and approval of a lengthy disclosure document. The block trades involve an accelerated book-building, which means that the time between launch of the transaction and pricing typically is 24 hours or less.
From a German corporation law perspective, companies accessing the capital markets to raise funds on a block-trade basis rely on Section 186 (3) of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), which permits the exclusion of the subscription rights of existing shareholders if (i) the capital increase in question does not exceed 10 percent of the company's issued share capital and (ii) the placement price is not less than 3 to 5 percent below the then-current market price at the time of the placement.
Block trades frequently are implemented overnight, with the German issuer or shareholder contacting a number of investment banks on the evening prior to the intended placement, soliciting bids in an auction-type process (on the basis of prepared documentation) and awarding the trade to the bank committing to the highest backstop price. The decision to launch the block trade typically is made following the stock exchange's close because of BaFin's ad hoc publication obligation, and the placement with institutional investors happens overnight with a pricing occurring most often within 12 to 24 hours after launch.
As a result of recent capital markets volatility, selling shareholders, in particular private equity firms, have decided to run parallel IPO and M&A processes to increase transaction certainty for a contemplated exit at the highest possible price. While there are certain synergies between the capital markets and M&A processes (e.g., with respect to due diligence and certain documents, such as the IPO prospectus and the information memorandum provided to the bidders in the M&A process), there also exist significant challenges to align the timetables for the two processes.
During the past two years almost all German dual-track situations ended up in an M&A trade sale, because selling shareholders often prefer transaction certainty with a full exit at a defined valuation. A partial exit in an IPO, possibly with a higher valuation and valuation upside, is subject to share price and capital markets volatility for many months — and possibly years — to come.
We believe that German capital markets volatility and unpredictability will need to be taken into account for the foreseeable future. As a result, alternative and, at times, innovative new transaction structures will continue to be developed. Increasing the documentary preparedness for an equity capital markets transaction early, shortening the time-to-market period through block trades and reducing risk in transactions through pre-IPO and dual-track structures are the new normal. So is the institutional investors' willingness to transact with companies directly without investment banks as intermediaries. These developments will continue to change how transactions are structured, marketed and documented.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
Andrew Grant
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
Ed Dawson

As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.

Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Aysha Strobbe
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Mark Escubio
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

- 2.5"
Works really well 11/14/2013
This review is from: Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Deluxe 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MKNSSDCL120GB-DX
Fast fast boot ups. Old HP laptop had a lot of software and background processes running (for work) so it was crawling,crashing and I was cursing.
Imaged old hard drive to new using Linux boot disk and dongle.
Handles everything I throw at it. No more lock ups and no more BSOD.
Could be cheaper. I paid $104.99 in Nov 2013.
Other Thoughts:
This SSD is SATA2.
The SATA3 disks are cheaper and are backward compatible. BUT, after reading many reviews, it seems that when a SATA3 SSD is plugged into a SATA2 bus, there must be some overhead for the backward compatiblity.
It SEEMS that a SATA3 SSD plugged into an SATA2 bus is slightly slower than a SATA2 SSD plugged into an SATA2 bus.
So after reading many reviews, I opted for the same SDD/bus SATA2 level. Your mileage may vary.
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Identification of new targets and novel treatment strategies for chronic myeloid leukemia. Ralph B. Arilnahaus. Ph.D.- My laboratory has published new information on several key proteins in chronic myelogenous leukemia that are regulated by the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. These proteins are lipocalin 2 (NGAL/24p3), Jak2 and Bcr. We were first to discover the role of lipocalin 2 in Bcr-Ab1 induced leukemia. Our recent studies with 24p3 null mice showed that 24p3 secretion by Bcr-Abl+ cells is a requirement for leukemia induction by Bcr-Abl in a mouse model. Regarding Jak2, we show that it is part of a large signaling network. Inhibition of Jak2 induces apoptosis in imatinib-sensitive/resistant Bcr-Abl + cells, in CML cell lines and in cells from blast crisis CML patients. Concerning Bcr, wild-type Bcr protein inhibits the oncogenic function of Bcr-Abl but serine/threonine kinase-defective Bcr enhances the oncogenic effects of Bcr-Abl.
Aim #1, Develop a monoclonal antibody that blocks lipocalin 2 (NGAL/24p3) activities induced by Bcr-Abl, and investigate the effects in mouse leukemia models. Our goal is to interfere with NGAL function for treatment of CML in combination with other therapeutic regimens such as Gleevec therapy.
Aim #2, Investigate the mechanistic effects of new Jak2 inhibitors in imatinib-sensitive and resistant CML cell lines, patient cells, and in patient cells from advanced stages of CML with the long-term goal of doing clinical trials in imatinib-resistant CML and late stage CML (with Dr. Cortes). We hypothesize that a potent Jak2 inhibitor will be useful in the treatment of drug-resistant CML as well as in all stages of CML because of the dominant role of Jak2 in oncogenic signaling in CML cells. We have identified a new Jak2 inhibitor (WP1193) that disrupts the Bcr-Abl/Jak2/HSP90 signaling network complex leading to apoptosis of drug-resistant CML cells and blast crisis CML cells. Surprisingly, preliminary results indicate that the Jak2 kinase phosphorylates Tyr 177 of Bcr-Abl, which upon Jak2 inhibition drastically reduced Grb2 binding to the network complex and caused the disruption of the Ras and PI-3 kinase signaling pathways. Importantly, Jak2 inhibition also drastically reduced Bcr-Abl protein levels, causing down-regulafion of STAT5 and STAT3 signaling. Thus, Jak2 inhibition disrupts many If not all oncogenic effects in CML.
Aim #3, Invesfigate the role ofthe Bcr Ser/Thr kinase in regulating Bcr-Abl oncogenic activity. We will search for mutations in the Bcr kinase domain, as we hypothesize that such mutations play a role in CML disease progression.
The outcome of these studies will lead to new strategies to treat drug-resistant forms of chronic myeloid leukemia and advanced stages of CML. Each strategy was based on published research generated by the Ariinghaus lab over the last five years of support from this P01 grant and a ROI grant from NIH.

your lips so soft, so delicate
hold me in your arms and never let me go
when you kiss me, it feels like nothing i experienced before
hearts beating rapidly, like one
your tongue intertwined with mine, searching my warm mouth
is this what true love's kiss is like, cause nothing else is like it
in the world!......

Police are investigating online racist abuse of two of England's black football stars after they missed penalty kicks in the Euro 2012 game against Italy.
The Chelsea defender Ashley Cole and Manchester United winger Ashley Young were singled out for abuse on Twitter by one user.
In a series of offensive postings the user goaded others who criticised him for his rants.
In one post the tweeter wrote: "All I got to say is this was just a joke, you guys need to relax, police know I was kiddin around and they won't bother me hopefully, cheers."
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We are aware of alleged racist comments on Twitter and have launched an investigation. The MPS is examining possible offences under Section 18/19 of the Public Order Act 1986."
Liam Stacey, 21, a student from Pontypridd in South Wales, was jailed for 56 days in March after racially abusing two Twitter users and mocking the Bolton footballer Fabrice Muamba after he collapsed.

On this date; In 1851, Isaac Singer was granted a patent on his sewing machine. In 1867, President Andrew Johnson sparked a move to impeach him as he defied Congress by suspending Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. In 1898, Hawaii was formally annexed to the United States. In 1944, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., eldest son of Joseph and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, was killed with hts co-pilot when their explosives-laden Navy plane blew up over England. In 1960, the first balloon satellite _ the Echo I _ was launched by the United States from Cape Canaveral. In 1962, one day after launching Andrian Nikolayev into orbit, the Soviet Union also sent up cosmonaut Pavel Popovich; both men landed safely Aug. 15. In 1972, the last American combat ground troops left Vietnam. In 1978, Pope Paul VI, who had died Aug. 6 at age 80, was buried in St. Peter's Basilica. In 1985, the worlds worst single-aircraft disaster occurred as a crippled Japan Air lanes Boeing 747 on a domestic flight crashed into a mountain, killing 520 people. Ten years ago: Pope John Paul II began his third U.S. visit in Denver. President Clinton signed a relief package for the flooded Midwest. President Clinton lifted a ban on rehiring air traffic controllers fired for going on strike in 1981. The launch of space shuttle Discovery was scrubbed at the last second. Five years ago: Swiss banks agreed to pay $1.25 billion as restitution to Holocaust survivors to settle claims for their assets.

These Christians broke from ECUSA in three separate theological battles: 1977 in a dispute over radical changes in the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and the abandoning of the male priesthood; the 1967 split that resulted from ECUSA financing nonChristian programs that directly threatened the Christian Church; and in 1870 over introduction of high church doctrine and practice that did not have scriptural foundation. Parishes from these conflicts, now grouped in dioceses throughout the country, are merging. Will all become one? Evidence indicates they will, but it will be a slow process. All of us insist on the "three legged stool" ofWrite 'Em President George W.

Will Griffin Guest Column Anglicanism, "scripture, tradition and reason," which ECUSA has not rejected. The 39 Articles of Anglicanism distinguish the communion from Roman Catholicism and general Protestantism. All use the 1928 BCP, which differs only in minor linguistic ways from the 1549 BCP, the first translation into English from Latin. None use ECUSA's 1979 b<x)k. Being scripturally based, observing the tradition of the Church from biblical times and utilizing reason, the Continuing Anglican Communion is committed to the time-honored BCP, the male priesthood, sex confined to a committed relationship in marriage between a man and a woman, and we regard homosexual activity as sin. ECUSA has rejected all of this, including scripture. We do not pass judgment on the beliefs or practices of other churches, groups or individuals. We insist on practicing the faith once delivered, and we reject the concept of changing to meet every social whim that comes along. What others do is their business. Our position is based on scripture, tradition and reason for us. Nor do we intend to change our position, rewrite scripture or aver that violation of natural law is acceptable because the deviates happen to be talented or likable people. St. Joseph Anglican Church is not "just another Episcopal Church" that meets in a quaint Victorian house and uses "the old book." We traditional Anglicans worship a triune God, who has not changed or moved, in a worship service that has not changed, in a world that is constantly changing. We offer the stability of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, i.e., the God of the Bible, and a Church determined to stand with that immutable, loving God. (The Rev. Will Griffin is rector at St. Joseph Anglican Church.)

Thats because, from afar, politics in California seem to be as complex, byzantine and sometimes downright weird as those in the Middle East. Ive had more experience in the Middle East than in California. Nevertheless, I can say this: Arnold Schwarzenegger is perfectly qualified to be a governor. Whether he will be elected or not is another question, and I don't have a clue. I can't think of anything more uncertain to bet on than the outcome of a California election. Let me tell you why he is qualified, and, at the same time, poke the air out of a myth created by politicians that holding public office in this country is somehow complex and difficult. That's a load of self-aggrandizing horse apples. Buying into the notionCharley Reese people need an expeller***! politician is like deciding you need an experienced prostitute. The job of any governor is to make decisions and appointments. Schwarzenegger has demonstrated far better than most professional politicians he can do that. He is intelligent. His whole life reveals he knows how to set goals, analyze what is required to achieve those goals, find people who can help him and discipline himself to accomplish them. He has, so far, accomplished every goal he has set for himself. Nobody should underestimate a guy who came to this country practically broke and became a millionaire in his early 20s. He parlayed his bodybuilding title into a mail-order business, made sound investments in real estate and graduated with a degree in business from an American university. When he set out to become a movie star, he carefully chose the right parts, recognizing he was not a great actor. In the movie business, you don't have to be. You just have to look right in the part. A lot of professional politicians are people who never accomplished anything except to campaign perpetually for public office. Its not far off the mark to say they've spent their lives conning people into giving them what apparently many Americans value little — their vote. When America first started out as a republic, as a rule, most elected officials were people who achieved prominence in private life, excelling in something. Tbday, most politicians were nobodies until they won their first election. Pick the names of your own local politicians, and ask yourself, had I ever heard of these people before they got into politics? With rare exceptions, the answer is "no." We would have a much better government if we turned to people who had solid achievements in the private sector and persuaded them to go into public office. The present system rewards mediocrity simply because these people can win a popularity contest, commonly called an election. They usually do so with some special-interest money and staff hired to put words into their mouths and thoughts into their heads. I was in that business at one time, and most Americans would be appalled if they knew how brainless and incurious some elected officials actually are. It's ironic when the subject of actors comes up, because that is precisely what most professional politicians are. They dote on their appearance, read lines written by someone else and get their jollies from public applause. The only difference between most professional politicians and actors is the actors are usually more intelligent. Don't let politicians and political junkies in the press con you into believing serving in public office in this country is space science. Anybody with an average intelligence and a little common sense can do it. In fact, you ought to consider it yourself. (Charley Reese is a syndicated columnist.) ;

"Is the wedding planner your friend?" This is the best way I can convey how wonderful Paige of Forever Events was. Two guests asked me if Paige was my friend because of how well she managed our wedding day and how lovingly she took care of us throughout the day and evening. She's responsible, dependable and best of all enthusiastic. She is solutions-oriented and takes her timeline very seriously — two things we especially appreciate. Throughout the planning phase, Paige aligned us with vendors who would meet our needs and make our vision a reality including our caterer, DJ, officiant and makeup artist. She also suggested money-saving options. All in all, it was a pleasure to work with a professional with a heart.(show more)
Robin was fantastic. She provided such a beautiful memory for our family and for the newlyweds. We put this quick wedding together for my son on the beach in about a week after they originally planned to go to the courthouse. You know, the typical thing with getting a simple dress, some flowers, the officiant, etc. Nothing earthmoving as they plan to have a large wedding in their home city in a year. Robin made the wedding so beautiful and special, my son has decided to forgo the large wedding for a big honeymoon instead. She created such a beautiful atmosphere in our little sunset wedding and made it so special that no grand wedding could compare. She was professional, kind, and you could see her putting love into everything she did and every word she uttered. Thank you for an amazing wedding Robin and I will see you again soon when its my turn to get married.(show more)

Nicole Young was a day of coordinatior for my wedding. She was very quick to get back with me via emails and phone calls. She immediately called all the vendors and made sure everyone was taken care of. I had her do all the decorating for the ceremony and reception. She did a great job. I had DIY center pieces that she put together for me. They turned out great! I sent a email describing how I wanted everything to look and she followed it perfectly. She added some things to make it look better also. Everything looked beautiful and I would hire Nicole again in the future.(show more)
What do you love about your job?
I love helping people, and being a wedding planner and event designer gives me the privilege to help people on the most important days of their lives. I also love the creativity that comes with what I do. I love starting with a concept, watching it grow throughout the process, and finally seeing it all come together on the day of an event. It's an amazing sense of accomplishment for everyone involved!
What or who inspired you to start your own business?
I'd been working for a marketing company doing corporate events. It was a job I loved, but when the economy turned and started to go under, I was laid off. I didn't want to stop planning, and I couldn't seem to find a new fit that felt right, so I started my own business. It's been amazing ever since.
Describe your most memorable project.
I created an amazing wedding at a client's private home. The family was fantastic and loving. The bride was vegan and wanted to share that with her guests, so we had incredible gourmet vegan dishes. She also wanted it to have a Farmer's Market feel, so we had great personal touches, like fresh berries and seed packets for each guest. There were just a lot of fun stuff!

There's so much on the line when you're working as a medical professional. When you're responsible for the well-being of other people, a lot will be at stake and only the highest level of care is expected from you. Doctors, nurses, physician's assistants, pharmacists, and other medical professionals go through years of training in preparation to provide such important service to the public. Falling short of the standard isn't an option. Even the slightest error could prove to have damaging consequences. This is why the law has certain safe guards to ensure that medical professionals are held accountable for any fatal error they might commit in the line of duty.
Medical malpractice refers to cases where a medical professional is seen to have committed a negligent error in the treatment of another person, causing injury or death. According to the Journal of American Medical Association or JAMA, patients and their families all over the U.S. received more than $3 billion in medical malpractice during the year 2012 alone. These payouts were expected to cover damages that include medical costs, loss of income, as well as physical and psychological anguish.
On their website, Clawson and Staubes, LLC: Injury Group lists some of the common types of medical malpractice cases. These include situations where a physician's provide the wrong diagnosis to patients, delaying proper treatment, as well as errors committed during surgery. Other cases of medical malpractice include committing mistakes in administering medication and birth injuries caused by errors during labor and delivery.
Medical professionals are responsible for providing their patients with the best quality of care. Failing to meet such expectations due to negligent and avoidable errors can lead to devastating consequences. Cases of medical malpractice should be addressed immediately. Victims and their families should be aware that they have the option to pursue legal action and receive justice.
Among the different types of work environments, construction sites are one of the most dangerous, like power plants, factories, mines, railroads and other industrial sites. In 2012 alone, job-related accidents claimed the lives 806 construction workers; this is about 20% of the 4,175 employee deaths reported in the private sector. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 150,000 construction workers are also injured on the job every year.
Based on records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the top four causes of construction accident injuries and untimely death at construction sites are getting struck by construction vehicles or equipment, getting caught-in-between or pinned between equipment and a solid object, electrocution, which can cause burns, explosions and fire, and slip and fall, which is the most common cause of injury in the workplace that results to hip, spinal cord injury or head injury.
Due to their physically-tasking job which also involves daily exposure to danger, construction injury attorneys from the Hankey Law Office strongly emphasizes the need to ensure the safety of construction workers, as well as the importance of making sure that injured workers are able to claim the compensation they deserve.
Physical injuries are not the only daunting consequences of construction site accidents, though. So many injured workers also become vulnerable to financial problems because injuries render them unable to report back to work. This means lost wages on top of the costly bills they will need to pay for medical treatment.
In their website, the Appleton personal injury attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® says that while some construction accidents may be unavoidable, but there are a substantial number of other situations wherein accidents are due to the recklessness or negligence of others, of employers and managers and supervisors, especially. In these circumstances, accident victims may have cause to pursue an injury claim.
Injury claim can be filed by workers with the Workers' Compensation insurance program. This state-enforced and controlled program, also known as Workman's Compensation Insurance or Employers' Liability Insurance, is an insurance program that is designed to provide financial benefits to employees who sustain job-related illnesses or injuries. It offers tax free wage replacement (usually one-half to two-thirds of an injured employee's regular wage) medical, disability, rehabilitation and death benefits regardless of the cause of the injury or who was at fault for the injury. Employees who avail of this benefit, however, should waive their right to sue their employer for further claims (injured employees may, instead, not file a claim for the right to file a civil suit against their employer – this is usually the case if the injury or illness is so severe so that amount of damages is much higher than the financial benefits offered by the insurance program).
For the injured or for those who develop a serious illness, the LaMarca Law Group, P.C. says that Workers' Compensation benefits extend even to people who suffer temporary or permanent disability.
Whether an employee intends to file a claim with the Workers' Comp or file a lawsuit against his or her employer, it would be more advantageous if he or she were to seek assistance from a disability benefit lawyer, who will be able to help determine which specific disability benefit he or she should apply for, or from a personal injury/construction accident lawyer, who will be able to help him or her pursue the legal action that will best help him or her seek the compensation the he or she legally deserves.
Medical malpractice is one of the claims that fall under personal injury litigation, since the negligence of a medical professional was involved. It is the case where a doctor or any health care provider performs a duty that is, in any way, below or against the procedure standards in the medicine field, often resulting in the injury or death of a patient. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term for describing a group of chronic disorders that impair a person's ability to control body movement and posture. Cerebral palsy, one of the most common injuries acquired during birth, is a testament to medical malpractice all throughout the country. There have been actual lawsuits that alleged medical professionals of causing cerebral palsy in children because of their negligence.
Cerebral palsy is usually caused by the lack of oxygen in the brain during fetal development, and some other causes include head injury, infection, brain bleeding, brain damage, and premature birth. All these, according to the Driscoll firm, may be a result of a doctor's failure to do right by his/her duties.
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, there is an abundance of lawyers that may aid you in your case. Birth injury lawyers are just among those many choices, but personal injury lawyers will be able to transact with you just as well, since they handle cases where one party is accused of negligence, such as doctors in the case of cerebral palsy.
A Louisville personal injury attorney may mention that injured and disabled patients who found their doctors or health care providers performed reckless or negligent care may very well hold these medical professionals accountable for what they have done. Besides birth injuries, the other forms of medical malpractice may be wrong diagnosis, delayed or improper treatment, surgical/emergency room/pharmaceutical errors, wrongful death, and hospital negligence.
According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel, at least 37,000 people are killed in vehicular accidents every year and about 2.35 million people sustain injuries or become disabled. As the website of John Michael Bailey Injury Lawyers attests to, critical automobile accidents may root from negligence and recklessness. While a person's negligence is a great factor that contributes to a car accident, it is still a broad topic that covers several different cases.
Over speeding is one of the most common reasons for accidents, and it also commonly has the more tragic results. The higher rate of speed doubles the chances of a crash, since the driver will have less time to rationalize the situation on the road. Speeding also results in more severe injuries due to the impact.
Drunk driving is also highly considered as a cause of road crash, since the consumption of alcohol affects a person's state of mind in almost every case. However, it may be categorized into two, depending on different factors. As written on www.inglisdefense.com/practice-areas/dwi, drunken driving may be considered as Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). For example, a person under the legal drinking age may only be charged with DUI after any amount of alcohol is found in his/her system. Adults, on the other hand, are charged with DWI only when their alcohol level is beyond a particular limit—0.08% for most drivers and 0.04% for commercial drivers, according to Inglis Defense.
Distraction to drivers, whether inside or outside the vehicle, are likely to cause accidents. One of the most notorious distractions is the use of cellular phones while driving, since it requires major attention from the driver. Several other distractions that may occur are listening to the stereo, looking at billboards, or even glancing at a particular object in passing.
These three are the common forms of negligence that lead to accidents, but there are far more considerations that may be involved in a crash.
There are certain situations to be dealt with when a couple decides to get a divorce or an annulment, the most common being the proceedings for child custody, which only applies to the couple's child/children under the age of eighteen. Child custody is the different aspects of guardianship that a court grants to the parents of the children. In almost all child custody cases under the United States law, the aim of granting custody to the more able parent is to provide the best possible life and well-being to the child/children after the separation of the parents. The Huffington Post suggests that before embarking on a custody dispute, remember that this should not be about you or the other parent, but what is in the best interests of your children.
According to the website of Arenson Law Group, P.C. in Cedar Rapids, child custody is essentially the hardest aspect of a separation since children are the most important shared part of the union. There are two kinds of child custody—legal and physical. Legal custody pertains to the right of the parent to decide about the needs of the child, such as education, health care, and even day-to-day decisions to the benefit of the child. Physical custody, on the other hand, is a matter of housing situation where the child lives with one parent most of the time, with the other parent possibly granted visitation or no visitation at all, depending on the severity of the case. However, the same degree of rights may be granted to both parents.
Legal and physical custodies are subjected to either joint or sole. Joint custody means that both parents of the child are entitled to the guardianship equally, and it could be joint legal custody or/and joint physical custody. Sole custody is simply the other side of the case, where one parent has more rights to the child's guardianship than the other parent, and it also applies to both legal and physical custodies. The proceedings for child custodies are under the jurisdiction of family courts.
The trucking business is a highly competitive industry in the United States, and up-and-comers are faced with several roadblocks, usually the delay in the cash flow. There are new trucking businesses that need stabilizing, but unfortunately, there are instances where a customer will take a long time before paying for the services rendered by the company, thus delaying and hindering the progress or possible business expansion that the trucking services owner may be interested in.
Freight factoring provides an easy solution to this. Freight factoring is a convenient and reliable way to get paid for your freight bills now. Factoring companies exist to initially provide money to trucking businesses in order for the latter to be paid immediately after a service. When the client finally pays, the balance amount in the factoring will now be given to the trucking company, and the factoring company will finally get the share for its services. This type of deal allows the trucking company to be funded for its daily operations, providing room to grow the business.
While the premise surrounding freight factoring may sound a lot like loaning; according to the website TBS Factoring Service, it is actually not a business loan. Freight factoring would require the company to sell its invoices, and always at a discount, in exchange for immediate payment by the factoring company.
Firstly, once the trucking company seals a load with the client, the information about the transaction is then provided to the factoring company for confirmation and approval. After the trucking service, the bills of lading (a document that specifies the shipment of merchandise and gives the shipment title to a particular party) and other relevant documents are sent to the factoring company. The factoring company will now send the payment to the trucking company following the agreed-upon rates. Finally, when the client has paid the invoice, the trucking company will receive the balance.
Traffic collision, or car accident, is the most common source of injury that leads to a lawsuit. It usually occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, but it is not exclusive to that particular situation. Car accidents may be when a vehicle hits a pedestrian, a tree or pole, an animal, or any other object on the road besides a vehicle. In these situations, typically, someone will sustain an injury, and that is usually where a personal injury lawyer enters the picture. According to the National Safety Council, motor-vehicle deaths for January through June of 2015 totaled 18,630.
According to the website of the LaMarca Law Group, P.C. in Iowa, personal injuries are physical wounds and damages that were obtained because of someone else's negligence. A case only becomes a personal injury lawsuit when the claimant strongly believes that the liable party had intentionally or non-intentionally inflicted harm due to carelessness. A person may hold the other party liable; however, comparative fault rules apply in the state of Iowa. Iowa car accident lawyers define comparative fault as when a person, to some extent, is at fault, the recovery reduced according to the amount of the person's own liability.
The website of law firm Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® confirms that every year, at least a few million people are aggravated or have sustained critical injuries as a result of car accidents in the United States. Negligence in car production, or the recklessness of the automobile manufacturer can also be considered personal injury cases if this neglect causes harm to innocent individuals.
Basically, a car accident will be considered as a personal injury case as long as someone involved in the accident has been negligent in the events leading up to the crash.
One of the most common lawsuits associated with insurance is bad faith. According to the Florida Bar Journal, bad faith statutes provide social benefit by encouraging insurers to make fair settlements. Bad faith insurance happens when the insurer performs a dishonest action, normally by breaching or not fulfilling what was written on the contract. Sometimes, bad faith may also mean that the insurance company misleads the other party and creates an agreement without actually meaning to keep their end of the bargain. Not only is that a violation of the rights of the insured person, but the act of bad faith is also a violation of the law.
The topics covered under bad faith insurance sure are broad, but how will one identify if an insurer is practicing bad faith? According to the website of a Dallas insurance lawyer at Smith Kendall, PLLC, one of the most obvious signs people may notice is when the insurer denies or delays payments without substantial reason. According to Fight Bad-faith Insurance Companies, an insurance case may also be considered bad faith when the insurer fails to provide prompt response after receiving a claim or when they take action based on recent changes in policy without informing the insured.
As mentioned earlier, the discussion of bad faith insurance covers a long list, and the specific issues may not be obvious to the insured.

As requested by product (see https://etherpad.mozilla.org/desktop-responsiveness) add a telemetry probe for new tab and closed tab animations.
Is this to measure the time spent solely animating, as distinct from the full time to open/close a tab?
It might be useful to track the time in between returning from removeTab, and _endRemoveTab (the end of the animation), to detect how much it varies from the specified animation time in practice.
yes, I want to know whether or not we're actually getting the user experience we've specified in the CSS. I'll have separate bugs for tuning that transition timing in the css.

I don't know if my histogram definitions make sense -- when should LINEAR be used and what motivates the bucket size?
Comment on attachment 581634 [details] [diff] [review]
Review of attachment 581634 [details] [diff] [review]:
code changes look fine. per Taras comment on other telemetry patch, should add the unit (eg: "_MS" or something) to the histogram name.
wrt to the maximum value - you should do some timings in a few different environments to see what the values look like to see what high/low values you get. we can also adjust later if the in-the-wild values are radically different.
wrt to buckets - i don't really know. am not sure about why/where it's important to have more or less buckets. maybe when variation in results is quite high?
Comment on attachment 581634 [details] [diff] [review]
I don't see value in measuring up to 3 seconds of tab anim, but up to you. Please add _MS to histogram names that measure milliseconds
3 seconds is the time after which tabbrowser gives up waiting for the animation to finish and forcefully removes the tab. Some users seem to still hit that limit.
Already paying back. Looks like this caught a regression between fx9 and fx10: bug 724349.
