Natural capital or the bio-resources of the Nordic countries directly contribute significantly to the Nordic economies, or approximately 10% on average (Rönnlund et al 2014). The contributing proportion is the highest in Iceland, or 18% (Rönnlund et al 2014). In addition to the direct economic contribution, the bio-resources also contribute indirectly through their multifaceted role in enabling societies to thrive e.g. through natural carbon sequestration, natural water purification, dilution of pollution or enabling nature based recreation.
Given the importance of bio-resources for Nordic societies and economies it is fundamentally important for continued and long-term regional prosperity that the resources are used sensibly and their longevity is ensured by sustainable use.
Project aims
The aims of the project are:
- to identify the bio-resources of the Nordic countries that contribute directly to Nordic economies.
- to map quantitative goals for allowable/sustainable yield across all Nordic countries for the bio-resources identified, i.e. illustrating what these goals are, how they are determined and enforced.
- to compare the goals for the same bio-resources across the Nordic countries.
Bio-resources in the project are defined based on the definition by McCormick og Kautto (2013) page 2590: The bioeconomy is "…an economy where the basic building blocks for materials, chemicals and energy are derived from renewable biological resources, such as plant and animal sources."
As a result, resources that are not derived from renewable biological resources are excluded.
Project value added
The value of this project includes:
- that the project will provide an overview of quantitative sustainability criteria, and associated methodologies leading to significant insights and research opportunities,
- that the project can facilitate cooperation among the Nordic countries, and improve processes when defining and determining sustainability criteria,
- that the project can illustrate Nordic Excellence and establish the region as frontrunners in terms of sustainable use of bio-resources.

My Eyes Have Been Opened
We Have Been Lied to for Too Long
By: Gina Toth, Wife, Mother, and Grammy
The way you do laundry could be slowly poisoning you. Do you suffer from allergies, itchy skin, nausea, headaches? Detergent may be the culprit.
In this article, I will share my experiences and research that reveal the truth about laundry detergents. I have trusted laundry detergent for many years-what I once thought was cleaning my family's laundry, I now know can make them very sick. Germs, mold, bacteria and pathogens, coupled with poisonous ingredients in detergent, stay and fester in your washing machine. These poisons and bacteria left in your laundry can then seep through your skin and enter into organs with serious potential consequences over time.
I am the EcoInventor's Wife and official tester for new product development for EcoInventions®. My husband, Julius Toth, is the CEO and EcoInventor. He has pioneered multiple eco-inventions enhancing, the quality of life for millions over the last 40 years.
Studies show that washing with detergent leaves your laundry loaded with germs and poisons. Studies continue to verify detergents do not kill germs. It only swishes them around, perpetuating what is known as "The Sick Laundry Cycle." Your laundry might smell fresh and clean, but do not be fooled. Detergent is so harsh it shreds and dries out laundry which is why lint traps fill up. It dulls colors, stiffens fabrics, even eats through the metal in the washing machine, wearing it out prematurely. Imagine what it does to your body!
Detergent DOES NOT kill germs. Germs breed bacteria and this can make us very sick. A microbial assessment to evaluate the infection risk associated with laundry found an estimated 0.1 grams (10,0000 organisms) of fecal matter in every pair of clean undies. Putting your family's clothing into your washing machine is simply creating a load of 'bacterial soup' consisting of millions of contagious germs which may include Hepatitis A, Salmonella, E. coli and norovirus.
Studies have shown that a build-up of bacteria, gunk and scum caused by detergent in the inner washer drum (not visible) of your washing machine transfers water to other loads of laundry, with as many as one million bacteria found in just two tablespoons of wash water.
Most detergents are filled with poisonous compounds that manufacturers are not required to disclose to the consumer. Here are just few:
1. Phosphates - Known to cause nausea, diarrhea, and skin irritation. Sodium Laureate Sulfate (SLES) - A foaming agent. Once absorbed into the skin it can disrupt the hormonal balance in both men and women
2. Dioxins - Cancer-causing chemical that is detrimental to your health. High levels are present in 2/3 of all detergents in America. Also, potentially toxic to the central nervous system and various organs.
3. Nonylphenol Ethoxylate - A synthetic surfactant. Not easily biodegradable and contributing factor in survival of many fish species.
4. Ammonia - Known to have many side effects such as, severe chest pains, asthma and eczema.
I want to introduce to you an alternative to using poisonous detergents. EcoWasher is an electronic device that connects to your existing washing machine. It transforms your existing washer from a bacterial breeding ground to a sensational, oxygen-infused disinfectant.
Being a wife, mother and grammy, I have trusted this proven technology for three years now (it's been used in hospitals for decades). ? Now that I know the hidden dangers I am so relieved knowing my family is safe from the poisonous chemicals in laundry detergent and fabric softener. EcoWasher eliminates 100% of my concerns. EcoWasher requires no detergent, no hot water and no fabric softeners. The EcoWasher is a small one time investment, a ten minute installation, and years of chemical and hassle free laundry. I love the simplicity of never having to buy detergent again. Now I just throw it in and turn it on. I LOVE IT!!
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. According to Jacqueline Krohn MD, once a chemical penetrates the cornea (the most superficial layer of skin) it moves through the epidermis into the dermis where a rich blood supply transports the chemical into your bloodstream and organs. Essentially, whatever is toxic to drink is toxic to put on your body.
We live in a toxic world and families do laundry so frequently that these dangers should not be ignored. You will not get out of doing laundry as long as you live so why not start doing laundry the EcoWasher® way today. EcoWasher® brings a new revolution to doing laundry, bringing hospital grade technology into homes around the globe, creating safe, sanitary laundry that is healthy for everyone.
Did You Know?
1. Laundry detergent manufacturers are not required by the government to disclose the poisonous ingredients in their products.
2. Your laundry room may contain the most toxic chemicals in your home, which become airborne and are inhaled.
3. Your skin absorbs the toxic residues left on clothing from detergents.
4. Scientists are linking the rise in degenerative disease to household chemical exposure. Household chemical exposure is a leading factor to cancer being the #2 killer of children.
I hope this information has opened your eyes helping you to make a healthy choice for a safe laundry alternative. There are toxins everywhere that we can't control, but we can control what we bring into our homes. Let's make our homes healthier and safer, one step at a time.

Harry's Restaurant hosts afterparty for Trump/MAGAt "Mother of all rallies" second year in a row
Video of the scene outside Harry's Bar
The sign in front of the bar at Harry's Restaurant in DC reads "Harry's Bar." In both 2017 and 2018, this bar hosted the afterparty for the Trump/MAGAt/Fascist "Mother of All Rallies." Like last year, total attendance at the MOAR was very sparse, but violent fascists were present. Last year it was "Based Stickman," this year Joey Gibson of Patriot Prayer was on the speaker's list and the Proud Boys showed up this year.
Harry's Bar ought not to be permitting violent fascists to patronize their establishment. It looked like most of the MOAR attendees were at the afterparty, unknown if a rough-looking bunch by the 11th st entrance were with the violent "Proud Boys" or not. They may have been selected as the afterparty location both because they are "Americana" themed and because the MOAR's afterparty was expelled from the Capital City Brewery last year.

A crowd estimated at 2,100 filed into the Patriot Center at George Mason University Tuesday night, lured by games of roulette, the Wizards dance team and a free performance by rapper Wale.
In between, rookie Bradley Beal and the Wizards took part in their final scrimmage game at GMU, their training camp home for the past eight days.
The Wizards are hoping the arrival of Beal, taken third overall in the 2012 NBA draft, will help cultivate new fans and turn last years skeptics into this years believers.
We believe in RG3 and we believe in Bradley, said Darnell Roberts, 16, of Herndon, who attended Tuesday nights event with three of his friends. With him and John Wall we can build a team around them.
The Wizards finished with the second-worst record in the NBA last season 20-46 and are hoping the arrivals of Beal, Emeka Okafor, Trevor Ariza, Martell Webster and A.J. Price will lift them into playoff contention.
I think it is a playoff team, but I dont think they know that yet, said Robert Crews, 17, of D.C. They need to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
The Wizards first home preseason game is slated for Thursday night at the Verizon Center and Marcos Lopez, 18, of Arlington, said hes hoping the building has a better feeling than it did last year.
Last year was so negative, Lopez said. Every time Andray Blatche stepped on the court they booed him. Thats got to change.
Wizards guard Janerro Pargo agrees, saying its important the Wizards start learning how to win games, even preseason games.
I think its important to play every game you play, Pargo said.
Crews said hes hoping the infusion of Beal into an offense featuring John Wall could make that difference, but still believes the Wizards lack something.
What we need is a superstar, Crews said. A superstar thats going to last. The Lakers got Kobe Bryant, the Heats got Lebron James and Dwayne Wade. I think we need a superstar. If Bradley Beal can step up well be all right. But we need a leader. Maybe Okafor will be that for us.
Meshailay Thomas, 35, of Woodbridge, brought her three daughters Jorden, 12, Kair, 6, and Laila, 5 -- to Tuesday nights event just to give them the opportunity to see the Wizards up close and have some fun with team mascot G-Wiz.
I think this is a great event, she said. My husband, Karl, is a big Wizards fan, so Ill be getting him some tickets this season. I think itll be a good one. Well see.

I love my dress I found for our Pinky and The Geek wedding. It is not traditional at all, but I think it makes my boobs look good. After spending so much on them, it is, in some very vain way important to me. We are not religious or doing a religious service so I don't need to worry about modesty. But seriously while my boobs looks look good, I don't think the dress is too revealing. But ask Carlè, Carlise or Andre they have seen it on.
I have this overwhelming desire to show The Geek. He is not that keen, but he wanted to know a bit about it so the outfits he gets for himself and his brothers are in keeping.
So my question:
Did your husband see your dress before?
Did you like the surprise or value his involvement?
Did you see the dress before?
What way do you prefer, should it be a surprise?
Or am I over thinking this and placing more value on a dress than a man will ever attribute. And really they don't care that much?
Oh and what do you think of a first look before the service, so he sees you without the need to keep emotions in check in front of the masses? Or again do I ascribe female emotions to guys, and really they are not capible of the same excitement over how you look?
Please be honest here folks, this is one if you read it please give your 2c

Obz wrote:How well would 25lb flouro frog and punch? I have 1 combo for both techniques and I don't like braid. I'm wondering if it is too stiff to bomb a frog or to weak too yank 'em from the slop?
I learn this while fishing with this old timer or rather watching him learn me something. I used to use braid ( I still do for 1oz tungsten weights) until one day on the water I the OT'er was watching me flip pitch punch.. In the pads I'd get hung up and have to pull towards me all the time. he would tell me leave the braid alone so i grabbed a rod with 20lb mono and I got hung up A LOT less and surprisingly I was still able to get the lure back. I've used floro but for some reason it doesn't hold up like mono ( Copolymer).
I would say depending on your cover stay away from floro but if the fish are line shy and it is clear that may be the route you need to take. Or just use Green mono/copo and go from there.. I brought a reel from a guy on here who sent me a bulk spook of 20lb line and I used it one day out of the blue and what I liked about it was the fact that in dirty water, the florescent line could be seen up top.. If you dont like braid i would not recommend floro at all esp for frog fishing.

Usher's Ex Admitted to Spitting on His Girlfriend
Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster has revealed that she did, in fact, spit at the superstar's current girlfriend during a heated argument.
On Tuesday (Sept. 25), Foster sat down with Entertainment Tonight for an interview where she made the startling confession, adding that she also threw food at Usher's car during the same altercation. Usher originally made the claims when he and Foster's custody battle began earlier this year.
The 42-year-old said she lost it when her ex showed up at her house with his new girlfriend, Grace Miguel. "It was not one of my more proud moments. I'm prone to human frailty. It was a one-time incident. I was angry."
Miguel, who also manages Usher, hasn't spoken openly about their relationship, but told Billboard that the singer is surrounded by a team that's bonded like family. "Usher's core team is run like a family who inspire each other to reach our full potential and have each other's backs, while we create the foundation for his monumental success," she said. "That personal connection allows us all to really go the extra mile to help him achieve his goals."
Foster lost primary custody of her two sons to her ex-husband, and was recently denied the motion for a new trial. According to SandraRose.com, a source says Foster was paid $25,000 to speak exclusively with Entertainment Tonight.

Round Two
Yep this family is now a family of 4! Wow time flies, I'm pretty sure the last post on here was probably about Titan's 1st birthday and now he's 15 months old and I'm 14 weeks on round two! We've known since the middle of October so if I chatted with you and totally lied about not being ready for more kids I'm so sorry! It was all done in good faith to keep a big secret for a few months! :) We told our parents and close family first and asked them to keep it a secret for a little while. Yesterday we had an ultrasound to determine a due date, which is what we were waiting on to tell everyone. Hubby's birthday is the beginning of June so maybe we'll have a birthday surprise!

Success Story: Education Borrower Plans to Be a University Academic
After completing an MA in Drama and Film at De Montfort University (DMU), with support from the Sir Thomas White Loan Charity, education borrower Jennifer Voss has now embarked on a PhD as a member of one of the establishment's research centres.
Jennifer began her Master's degree back in 2013, and following this 15-month course her supervisors felt her work was original enough to be considered for a PhD. In January 2015, she was put forward to apply for a PhD at DMU, to be funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, through the Midlands 3 Cities Doctoral Training Partnership.More

A friend of a friend (nice way to start a post) is a pilot for one of the regional airline carriers. He was told that the TSA is going to be planting fake guns, knives, and other contraband on planes. Between flights the pilot and crew are supposed to clean up the plane and search for illegal items. Remember just a couple weeks ago when TSA decided that they were once again going to allow small pocket knives to be carried aboard? Right after there was a "rash" of bullets, knives, etc. found on some of the flights during the after flight cleanup. Why? Probably as a protest by flight crews that they didn't like the new rulings. Nothing ever came of it because if it was the real deal it would still be in the news, don't you think?
So what is TSA doing in retaliation to the flight crews? They
are now going to be boarding planes (incognito of course as paying passengers,
but because they are TSA will be able to pass through security) and bringing on
fake contraband. They are going to be leaving it in the pockets, under seats, in
the bathrooms, in the magazines, etc. If the flight crews don't catch the fake
stuff and call security during their cleanup they will be fined.
What's the threat from the flight crews over this game being
played by TSA? They are going to just call 911. No going to security. They are
going to respond the "right" way. After all, if they see something they are
supposed to say something. Isn't that what we are being programed to do? It's
not making me want to fly for a while until the power struggle games
Here at home things are getting a bit exciting. We had some baby
chicks born yesterday and today. I'm hoping a few more hatch. I was having a
hard time keeping the humidity up so I decided to put a little water bowl into
the incubator. That seemed to work.
I started putting in the garden and the grandkids destroyed what
I put in. Where do their brains go? I know they must have shut them off for a
time or something. After all, it's spring break. I planted plants into 3 of the
12 raised beds. They decided to have races through the garden. No, first they
decided to play football in the garden. Get out! Then the next thing I saw they
were racing through. Stepping on the wooden beds and into the beds themselves.
They are now weeding!
With the new job being four days per week, I thought I'd get to
spend Friday doing whatever I wanted and then the kids and I would have fun on
the weekends. That hasn't quite worked out as planned. But this past Friday I
spent lots of time cleaning out a couple of rooms in the house. Good spring
cleaning... I filled up the back of my pickup with stuff for donations as well
as broken toys, trash, etc. Now I just have to figure out where it's going to
get dumped. I wonder if anyone has empty trash cans since the dump costs $65
minimum. I don't want to go to the dump. If I do go then I'd better to a lot
more spring cleaning!
The raspberries across the front of the property are growing
very well. Probably because I'm watering! Of the ten plants I put in last year
(and they were all gallon plants) eight are still alive. They are sending out
new plants, some as far as four or five feet away from the parent plant. The
eight all have lots of flowers on them so sometime soon we will be getting
raspberries. The raspberries are sending out long branches that are weaving
through the brush along the fence. It's filling in exactly as I planned. In
another year or two you won't even see the brush because the plants will be
covering it.
Last year we hardly had any fruit. We would have starved if we
had to live off the 50+ fruit trees. This year is looking good. It's supposed to
thunderstorm tonight and tomorrow so some of the fruit may get knocked off. As
long as it's not all it will be alright. I have to go out and thin some of the
trees right now. The apricots on one tree are the size of a nickle. The cherries
are all in bloom, as are the peaches, nectarines, pears, apples, plums, and
everything else. The loquat tree has about 20 pieces of fruit. That's not much
but it's better than three, which is how many we've had in the last five years.
Sure it takes a while for the trees to produce but this year I've kept the sheep
out! No pushing over fences to get to the fruit!
The orange tree and the lemon tree have fantastic fruit. We are
drinking lemonade several times per week. Right now we put sugar into it.
Someday it will be honey. Then that will be fully self supporting.
The Sun Oven is making dinner once again. Yesterday we had
steak. Well, it didn't end up as steak. It was delicious but it turned into
shredded beef. It will cook the steak as steak if you only cook it for 30
minutes during the heat of the day. I didn't. I left it in all day covered in
the marinade sauce. Today we are having corned beef. It cooked for about four
hours then I put in some dehydrated potato slices and some fresh cabbage. We
will see how it turns out. After 4 hours the meat was just about ready. I put it
in as a frozen chunk of meat. I added more pickling spice because it didn't look
like there was much in it.
I've had some questions about the Sun Oven. I know you don't
need hot weather for it to work. Today it is 80 but Max in Colorado Springs used
his the other day to bake some bread. It was almost done when the clouds came in
and it started snowing. He had to finish it up in the oven. But, it was cold
out. All that's needed is the sun! I am going to try using it in my house under
the solatube. I'm thinking that if it gets the shine that's what's needed. After
all, the reflectors are supposed to put the light into the black box to heat it
up. With that said, I don't think that light coming through a window would be
able to put enough direct light on the box.

My experience at Camp Joy had many layers. I experienced pure joy (no pun), terror (of heights), professional humility, bonding with my team and personal as well as professional growth. After attending the Leadership Challenge in 2015, I left feeling and professing to others that Camp Joy changed who I am. After attending a second time in 2016 with my team, I realized that what I had experienced was inside me all along. My feeling of change turned into something different. Camp Joy showed me who I am.
If you are willing to take risks that result in exponential growth, Camp Joy is the place for you! It will be a very personal experience and appeals to intrinsic motivations and that is a recipe for success!

For Patients
Phototherapy Patient Information
About Phototherapy
What is Phototherapy?
Phototherapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light shone directly on affected areas of skin. This light occurs naturally as a component of sunlight and is part of the ultraviolet light spectrum.
How do Phototherapy Lights Work?
Ultraviolet Phototherapy lights slow abnormal growth of normal skin cells. Phototherapy uses different wavelengths of the UV spectrum based on which condition is to be treated. The safest wavelengths, narrowband UVB, have been shown to be very effective in treating psoriasis and in the repigmentation process for vitiligo.
What is Phototherapy Treatment Like?
This depends on your condition. For psoriasis, phototherapy lights are usually used 3 times per week, with sessions starting with a few seconds and increasing to several minutes over time. Once skin is clear, your doctor will determine whether maintenance requires regular phototherapy or whether your remission needs only periodic checkups.
At What Point Is Home Phototherapy A Viable Option?
Obviously, consult your physician, but if your involvement is 10% or more of your body, ultraviolet phototherapy lights are the fastest, most effective, and safest treatment possible. You can treat yourself in the privacy of your own home with your physician's guidance. All U.S. orders for home phototherapy devices require a physician's prescription.
Is Home Phototherapy Expensive?
Usually, no. Many insurance carriers recognize the value of a home photo therapy regimen for the treatment of severe psoriasis:
- Home Phototherapy is often less expensive than treatment in your doctor's office
- Phototherapy lights are far less expensive than treatment with biologics
- We offer FREE INSURANCE CLAIM ASSISTANCE

Five Must-See Asia Week New York ExhibitsBy Guest|March 18, 2014ShareBy Guest|March 18, 2014ShareWriter Nancy Lazarus heads to the Far East without leaving Manhattan as she takes in the sixth annual Asia Week and offers up five highlights. Kaneko Toru's Blue Rust #1 (2009) is on view during Asia Week at Lesley Kehoe Galleries.Spring marks the arrival of Asia Week New York. The nine-day event (March 14-22), a marathon of 47 gallery shows and 19 auction sales, along with museum exhibitions and special events, offers the opportunity to admire a wealth of ancient and modern treasures. We've picked five exhibits where the themes, settings, timeless works, contemporary pieces, or unique techniques reward close looking. They're listed by location, starting in midtown.Lesley Kehoe Galleries (Melbourne, Australia-based gallery specializing in Japanese art; has Asia Week gallery space in Fuller Building at 41 East 57th Street, 5th floor) The Transcendent Spirit, a special Asia Week exhibit, highlights works of seven Japanese artists. Owner Lesley Kehoe believes "there's not another culture with the patience and self-discipline to master these complex techniques." Mitsuo Shoji creates paintings, calligraphy, and objects. He's inspired by Buddhist chanting and fascinated with fire, using traditional Japanese foils to fire canvases. Kaneko Toru and Kidera Yuko specialize in metalworks. Yoku hammers flat metal sheets to create spirited female forms of dance and song. Toru uses copper oxide and enameled metals to craft colorful tin-plated decorative vessels with exotic textures.Ralph M. Chait Galleries (specializes in Chinese art; 730 Fifth Avenue at 57th Street, Crown Building, 12th floor) For Asia Week, the oldest U.S. firm dealing in Chinese art is focusing on porcelain, silver sculpture, root carvings, and a collection of 20 snuff bottles dating from the 18th-20th centuries. Though miniature in size, the bottles were quite eye-catching, especially given the variety of animal and botanical motifs, shapes, and design types. Some were inlaid, while others were carved, painted, or embellished. Among the gemstones were lapis, jasper, jade, rhodonite, and moss agate. A stopper in a matching or contrasting color sat atop each bottle. Joan B. Mirviss Ltd. (specializes in Japanese art; at 39 East 78th Street, 4th floor) Japan in Black & White: Ink and Clay is the gallery's Asia Week theme. As Mirviss noted, that means traditional Japanese painting, modern clay, and early modern ceramics. Artist Yagi Kazuo created pieces with "painting on clay where the form and decoration are unified". He used patterned graphics and etched surfaces, often leaving visible brushstrokes. Yamada Hikaru used smoke-infused glazing to craft a moveable rectangular smoke screen. The Brancusi-inspired work of black and gold glazed stoneware and metal has rows of small hemispheres.Kang Collection (specializes in Korean art; at 9 East 82nd Street, 4th floor) "Ik-Joong Kang: Bamboo/Wood" is a solo exhibition of the renowned multimedia artist (no relation to gallery president, Keum Ja Kang). Ik-Joong Kang is known for using three-inch wooden pieces covered in plastic. His four-panel series, Bamboo, depicts the seasons. Bamboo, a favored Korean material, represents resilience and strength. The artist's biggest passion now is hand-blown designs. Moon jars are his favorite item, as featured in the painting Moon Jar with Covered Dots and the series of 471 custom-sized miniature painted moon jars. For Kang, the moon is "the place where people store their dreams."Nancy Wiener Gallery (specializes in art of India, Himalayas, Southeast Asia; at 2109 Broadway at 73rd Street, Ansonia Building, Suite 1018) Paths to the Divine is this year's Asia Week collection, featuring Indian miniature paintings, stone and bronze sculpture, and jewelry. Large Ceremonial Necklace, circa 19th century (pictured), is from south India. The 88-inch piece is meant to adorn a large sculpture. Made of silver with ruby cabuchons, it contains many design elements related to Hindu prayer. Majahara Entertained by a Buffalo Tournament, circa 18th century, is also of Indian origin. The painting depicts a scene of pageantry, with colorful participants and whimsical animals, framed by throngs of spectators.These paintings, smoke screens, vessels, snuff bottles, and moon jars represent a select portion of the art and activities offered. Check out the full program here.Writer Nancy Lazarus is a frequent contributor to UnBeige. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jHuJmM copy Adweek Adweek

Las Vegas Maritime Lawyers
What is Maritime Law?
Maritime law governs matters that involve ships, shipping, insurance claims and civil matters that occur on the fresh waters in the United States, as well as to the open water such as the Gulf of Mexico or along the coastline of the U.S.
What is the Jones Act?
Maritime attorneys focus on issues that pertain to maritime law, but also to the Jones Act. The rules governing who qualifies as a Jones Act seaman, as well as what kinds of sea vessels are covered by the Jones Act are confusing. The Jones Act allows a maritime lawyer to bring legal actions on the behalf of an injured seaman, against ship owners, ship captain or other crew members after an accident has occurred.
When Should I file a Claim?
The average personal injury lawyer isn't going to know all of the evolving fine points of maritime, but the accomplished Las Vegas maritime attorneys of SMSH will. Common personal injury filed by crew members can be:
- Defective design
- Hazardous ship conditions
- Sunken vessels from leaking oil
- Loss of vessel from poor construction
- Pollution
Here is how we can Help
Our attorneys have years of experience and the knowledge of maritime law in Las Vegas. Here at SMSH we are dedicated to helping victims get their fair compensation that they are entitled to under the Jones Act and other maritime laws. The compensation will cover any losses after the accident such as; medical bills, loss of wages and pain and suffering.
We can assist you in developing a legal strategy, gathering evidence to make the case stronger and answer any legal questions that you may have. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us today for a free evaluation. Click to Call 713-364-0723

What to do if you forgot how much you bid
First, look up your address on Etherscan in order to find the transaction in which you placed your bid.
Look for:
- An outgoing transaction (orange)
- To ENS-Registrar
- With an ETH value > 0.01 ETH (not one that says "0 Ether")
- Was sent 2-4 days ago (if you are just revealing your bid now)
- That, when you click on the TX hash, has "Function: newBid(bytes32 sealedBid)" under "Input Data"
Once you find this, copy and paste the value in the "Input Data" into a text document & remove the "MethodId:" and "[0]:" so that it looks like this:
Now, go to https://legacy.mycrypto.com/helpers.html
Scroll to the "ENS" section, depending on what you saved, enter the following:
- The address you bid from
- ENS Name you Bid On (no '.eth' at the end!), or the namehash from your long string under "Hashed ENS Name (Label Hash)"
- The amount you think you bid
- Your Secret, or the sha3 secret from your long string under "Your Secret (Hashed)"
When you do this, the following four fields will populate with long data. You want compare the string you copied earlier (
0xce92dced69faf18dd0953d9124d7917234b0efc05c78fd0d9abfc6ffb32d512680fdbb65) to the string shown under "New Bid Data".
Change the amount you bid until the strings match.
Copy the "Reveal Data" string and go to https://mycrypto.com/account and unlock the wallet for the address that you placed the bid on. This address should also be the same address entered on the https://legacy.mycrypto.com/helpers.html.
Enter the following information into the fields:
- To: 0x6090a6e47849629b7245dfa1ca21d94cd15878ef
- Amount: 0 ETH
- Gas Limit: 200000
- Data: From the "Reveal Data" field on https://legacy.mycrypto.com/helpers.html
Generate and sign your transaction.
Click your TX hash after you send it. Ensure there are no errors (you may have to refresh a few times.)
Then, in a new tab, go to https://etherscan.io/enslookup?q=yourname.eth and type in the name you bid on. Ensure that you see a very recent transaction from your address with "Unseal Bid" next to it.

CITY OF NEWBURGH — Archbishop Timothy Dolan was the high-profile guest and keynote speaker Thursday at Mount Saint Mary College.
CITY OF NEWBURGH — Archbishop Timothy Dolan was the high-profile guest and keynote speaker Thursday at Mount Saint Mary College.
But it was the Dominican sisters who were the real ladies of the hour as the college celebrated the order of nuns who founded the place 50 years ago.
The sisters got two of the three standing ovations during the hourlong service in Aquinas Hall Theatre; Dolan got the other one.
The first came after the Rev. Kevin Mackin, the Mount's president, asked all the Dominican sisters present to rise.
After things quieted down, Mackin asked the sisters to put their right hands on their left shoulders, and their left hands on their right shoulders.
"Now give yourselves a huge hug for reaching this milestone," Mackin told them.
The first Dominicans came to Newburgh in 1883 — four nuns who started an elementary school right around where Bishop Dunn Memorial School stands today.
Over the years, they started other elementary schools in Newburgh, and eventually, a high school.
But it wasn't until 1959 — 50 years ago this week, in fact — that they achieved their ultimate dream: The state approved a charter to operate a four-year liberal arts college. The first students arrived in early 1960.
Honoring the sisters was among the first major events in a yearlong celebration of the Mount's first half-century.
Dolan was presented with an honorary degree of doctor of humane letters, and he seemed to take pride in his status as the Mount's "newest alumnus."
He's well aware of the value of a college education, for, as he put it, "I'm still paying off my tuition for my own college (education)."
An honorary degree also was presented to the sisters collectively. It was accepted by Sister Lorelle
Elcock, prioress of the Dominican Sisters of Hope (as the order serving this area is known these days).
She acknowledged all the faculty, staff, trustees, students and others in the community who have collaborated to make the Mount succeed.
"I would be remiss if I led you to believe we did this alone," Elcock said.
Besides the usual fundraising activities, Mackin noted a group of sisters helped finance the college's start by putting out a record album, "The Singing Sisters Present Joy."
"Let's give them a round of applause," Mackin said. The packed theater erupted in cheers.

By Gove, he finally got it! (Or how the Minister realised private schools are public enemy No1)
Penny drops: Michael Gove's aims seems to be to instill discipline in state schools
By Jove, Gove, have you seen the light? Are we now comrades? The Education Minister spoke the unarguable truth at fee-paying Brighton College when he talked of the increasing stratification of our society being 'morally indefensible'.
More than in any other developed nation, the life chances of Britain's children are linked to their parents' wealth.
Social mobility has ground to a halt and we can't see the wood for the playing fields.
The great engine of change should be education, but instead we have a system that practically reproduces the ruling class while preaching meritocracy. And it's called the public school system.
All ex-public school types had parents who just wanted the best for them – and by dint of their hard work they just happened to end up running the county. Incredible!
Actually, it's not just the politicians. It's the whole shebang. This kind of social engineering has made an elite which runs banks, the media, the arts and rock 'n' roll – with the bastion of revolution that is Coldplay.
The chips on my shoulder are not that chunky. People can't help where they went to school but I resent that those who have no experience of state education seek to run it.
Note, too, how private edu-cation is now referred to as 'the independent sector' as part of an attempt to bamboozle us into muddling it all with academies and free schools in some delusion of democracy.
We are not all in it together so long as we maintain this class-based educational apartheid that enables some to imbibe a sense of entitlement – Oxbridge, paid-for internships, power – and others to inherit a debt-ridden and uncertain future.
Elite institution: King's College Chapel, Cambridge University, near the River Cam
Apart from niggling about the charitable status of private schools, few politicians will take on the system that they come from.

Instead, we have a class that continues to congratulate itself on its own marvellous success.
Which, of course, is nothing to do with the class size, excellent teachers and fantastic resources that they enjoyed.
State schools should somehow replicate this – with teachers expected to manage classes of 30 when they are in their 60s.
Most who tell us about education do not use the state system (I do) so they have little investment in a service that only the little people use.
Cameron detoxified the Tory brand via his direct experience of the NHS.
Education is different though, as privilege is entirely privatised.
There are many problems in state schools, and I see what a private system provides as I have worked on enough Left–wing publications to have met its products: self-deprecation, a grasp of history and a network of contacts that feel 'natural'. Oh, and cricket.
Gove's aim seems to be to instill discipline in state schools – while cutting their resources.
Still, it was brave of him to remind us of the existence of toffs.
One can see it's exactly why the posh boys embraced the likes of Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks – someone has to communicate with the lower orders.
Embraced: Why do posh boys embraced the likes of Andy Coulson, right, and Rebekah Brooks, left ¿ someone has to communicate with the lower orders
Strangely, I found myself in discussion this week with Ian Bone, the leader of Class War, author of Bash The Rich, and creator of political posters – including the one that featured Margaret Thatcher with a machete in her head and the slogan: 'The only cut we need.'
Mr Bone, a real gentleman – he will hate me now – shares Gove's analysis and impeccable manners. But while Mr Bone has the support of about ten hunt saboteurs, Mr Gove is in a position to do something.
Instead of hectoring state teachers for not getting the results of their better-paid colleagues, he could level the playing field.
There is an austerity of ambition when we accept that institutions unaffordable to most are the key to success. Private schools are not about excellence, but exclusion.
Think it's not where you come from, but where you are going? Really?
In that case, we are going backwards.
Women with that 'je ne sais quoi'
Mae West once said: 'It's not the men in my life, it's the life in my men.'
Well I very much like the lives of the women in French president Francois Hollande's life.
He is giving his ex, Segolene Royale, the big job she craves even though she campaigned against him, saying: 'Can anyone recall anything
Francois Hollande has done in 30 years?' His current partner is Valerie Trierweiler, who has made him slim down and sees no reason to marry for protocol.
The couple say being unmarried is 'normal' – and I say vive la difference.
Doing it their way: Valerie Trierweiler with her partner Francois Hollande
Who needs a princess when you can have spiky Kristen
Kristen Stewart looked sulkily great on the red carpet, wearing the kind of clothes that any spiky young woman would choose – instead of one of those mumsy princess dresses that so many stars wear.
Our own 'princess', Kate, also looks better when she dresses her age, but what do I know?
Reading the coverage of the Met Gala, one writer's fashion 'hit' was another expert's miss. Even Beyoncé was said to have got it wrong. I beg to differ. It is physically impossible for Beyoncé not to be a hit.
It's a simple law of physics, if not fashion.
Acting her age: Kristen at the Met Gala
Race: Let's spell it out
Every time someone starts a conversation with 'Why can't we talk about race?', they will then proceed to talk about race.
But what we need to do is talk about culture and ethnicity.
The story about the Asian grooming gang was difficult because the word 'Asian' is as nondescript as the word 'white'.
In the gang's case, we were largely talking about Pakistani men from one small area involved in grooming girls who were often in care – and who received no care. That the police ignored these girls is appalling.
I would suggest we stop saying 'Asian' and – in the name of cultural sensitivity – spell out what we mean.
Likewise, I would also ban using the word 'honour' in front of 'killing'. The abuse, trafficking, rape and murder of girls is not acceptable in any culture. Ever. Full stop.
To separate children from their mobiles is akin to hacking off their limbs.
Yet teachers say it must be done to stop their semi-permanent distraction in the classroom.
They will scream and scream until they are sick.
But not, I fear, as much as those parents who buy their kids phones at ever younger ages (guilty) on the grounds of surveillance.
We need to know where they are at all times as though they are in constant danger.
They are not. Surely we could cut down our addiction to phones by just having all children tagged at the age of 11?

In the end, the newbies were no match for the veterans as Tyson Apostol won Survivor: Blood vs. Water.
Apostol, 34 of Provo, Utah, a veteran of Survivor: Tocantins and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, got seven of eight jury votes to win the $1 million prize and title of "sole survivor."
Since the season premiered in September, it's been fun watching returning players compete against their loved ones in a series of fierce challenges and emotional tribal councils that more often than not promised the potential of a shocking blindside.
So why should Sunday night's finale be any different?
Here's what happened in Survivor: Blood vs. Water's final episode.
Just like after last Wednesday's heated tribal council, Tyson, Gervase and Monica spent their first moments back at camp congratulating Ciera on her convincing but ultimately failed attempt at prying Monica away from her alliance. Going forward Ciera knew the only chance she had at salvaging her game was by finding the hidden immunity idol, a feat that would become more feasible when one of her three former allies (either Laura M., Tina or Hayden) returned from Redemption Island.
In an attempt to further reassure Monica that she could trust him; Tyson offered to give Monica his hidden immunity necklace. Ultimately Monica declined to take the idol, as the former Survivor: One World player knew she was all but guaranteed a seat in the final three considering she would continue to be a swing vote.
The Final Redemption Island Duel
For the final Redemption Island Duel, Hayden, Tina and Laura M. were tasked with keeping one of their feet on a balancing board while making sure that the vase at the other end did not fall to the ground. The last person standing with their vase intact would not only win the duel and the final clue to the hidden immunity idol, but be reinstated in the game.
While I've had my fair share of complaints with the premise of Redemption Island, I appreciate its potential to add a game-changing element near the end of the competition.
Despite having won five of her last six duels by a landslide, Laura M. got off to a very shaky start as she nearly lost her balance a number of times. After a series of incredible acrobatic recoveries by Laura M., Hayden — who before the duel told the cameras that he liked his chances at winning considering that he was going up against "two grandmas" — was the first player eliminated after he slipped of the beam while attempting to wipe sweat from his eyes.
"Tina, let me have it please," a struggling Laura M. pleaded moments after Hayden was eliminated.
"No way sister," Tina responded. "I love you, but this is a million dollar challenge, honey."
As shocking as it was to hear Laura M. beg Tina, it was more shocking to see Laura M.'s vase crash to the ground, considering how she had dominated almost every challenge. With that, Tina won the right to rejoin Kasama.
Kasama and the Immunity Challenge
Having rejoined her former tribe, Tina immediately made it clear that the only way she and Ciera could move on was to convince Monica to join a "three girls, all mom alliance" but not before they searched for the hidden immunity idol. Seeing as how we knew that Tyson had found its weeks ago, I questioned whether or not the producers should consider bringing a second hidden idol into play.
When Tina and Ciera approached Monica, the Florida native made it clear she was openly considering her options. Ciera fed Monica's paranoia all the while appealing to her ego and making sure that she felt in control of the vote. The same can't be said for Tina's confrontational approach to Monica that almost sealed her fate until Ciera jumped in to smooth things over.
For the second-to-last immunity challenge, each player had to pull a rope that levelled out an imbalanced table while periodically collecting wooden blocks to balance on the table. The first player to collect and stand up all 10 blocks would win immunity. Each of the five remaining competitors managed to stay within striking distance of each other during the early stages of the challenge, however it was Tyson who broke away from the pack at the halfway point and went on to win his first individual immunity challenge of the season.
The First Tribal Council
Upon returning from the challenge, Tyson, Gervase and Monica went off to discuss who to vote out. Gervase said they should vote out Ciera because she'd made a number of big plays while Monica believed that Tina was more of a threat because she hadn't had to stab anyone in the back and was well liked among the jury.
That led to a very tense moment between Gervase and Monica as the former Survivor: Borneo player aggressively told her why she should vote out Ciera instead of Tina. That led Monica to seriously reconsider whether she wanted to stay with her alliance.
At Tribal Council, Monica made it very clear she was going to make the move that was best for her and talked about considering a game-changing move against one of the tribe's "villains."
Sufficiently spooked, Tyson gave his hidden immunity idol to Gervase, ensuring that his biggest ally would make it to the final four. In the end, it proved unnecessary as Monica stood by her alliance and helped them vote out Ciera.
The Final Immunity Challenge and Tribal Council
For the final immunity challenge, each player had to race through obstacles while collecting bags of puzzle pieces two at a time. Once they collected all six bags, each competitor had to complete a puzzle to unlock a combination lock that released a flag.
From the start, it was obvious that Tina was going to be a nonfactor as the early stages of the challenge proved to be quite physical. Monica, Gervase and Tyson all made it to the puzzle portion of the challenge within moments of each other. Once again, Tyson pulled away from the pack and won his second consecutive immunity challenge.
Back at camp, Tyson and Gervase began to think about their speeches to the jury while Tina once again approached Monica in an attempt to overthrow Tyson and Gervase. To do this, Tina suggested that they force a tie between her and Gervase, which would ultimately be decided in a fire-building challenge. Despite the forward thinking, Tina's plan was all for not as the final vote saw Tina unanimously ousted by the rest of her tribe.
The Final Tribal Council
When it came time for the final three survivors to plead their cases to the jury, Gervase, Monica and Tyson all outlined why they believed they were worthy of the million-dollar prize.
As a veteran who played in the game's inaugural season back in 2000, Gervase told the jury that he managed to successfully combine old tactics with new strategies.
"I had a 13-year layoff and came back into this game," he said.
Instead of boasting of her credentials, Monica spent most of her opening speech addressing the "elephant in the room."
"I know that you all think that I was strung along like a puppy dog on a leash by these guys to get to the end and that's not true," she said, adding that she wanted to sit next to Tyson and Gervase in the end because she has less blood on her hands and has not broken as many promises as they have.
In his opening statement, Tyson explained how the early ousting of his girlfriend, Rachel, motivated him to make it to the end. Especially considering that she was voted out in an attempt to lure him out of the game.
"When she left I said, 'I have to get to day 39 no matter what it takes. I have to focus every day and show her that I appreciated her sacrifice knowing that the reason that she left was because of me,'" he said, fighting back tears.
While most of the jury's questions were very standard — Caleb asked Gervase what his game-changing move was and Aras asked each finalist who deserved to win — Monica took an emotional beatdown from a number of jury members who accused her of being fake. Shortly after showing Laura M. a vulnerable side by admitting that she feels as if she's has been living in her husband's shadow, Monica tearfully turned on the jury.
"I don't know what it is you all want. Have you all never met a nice person? Have you all never met somebody that isn't selfish? Have you all never met a neat lady?" she said, fighting through tears.
Although it appeared that Monica's tearful confession would help gain some votes, the hardened mother of three proved no match for Tyson as he ended up taking home the title of sole survivor and the million-dollar cheque that goes with it.
For those keeping score, Tyson won seven of the jury's votes eight votes, while Monica won the only other vote (which was from Vytas, who had promised not to vote for Tyson if he played a part in voting him out).
While I'm not convinced that this season's Blood vs. Water twist added anything extra to the game, I am always happy to watch veteran players compete against rookie players and that fact alone made this season of Survivor another entertaining chapter of the long-running reality TV staple.
Five Things We Learned From the Reunion Show
1. Between the bamboo flooring and the constant paranoia, I can't say that I was totally surprised to hear that the castaways on Survivor don't sleep more than two to three hours a night.
2. Rupert has no regrets for switching places with his wife in the show's inaugural episode. I think I speak on behalf of most Survivor fans when I say that watching him return would have made the season exponentially more enjoyable.
3. Harvard graduate and last season's sole survivor John Cochran is now a writer on the CBS show The Millers.
4. In what had to be the saddest news of the night, Tina explained how her son died in a car accident a few weeks ago because he did not have his seat belt fastened. "Please buckle up," she pleaded to the audience while her daughter, Katie, said that anyone who wanted to honour his memory could send donations to the Red Cross Philippines Disaster Relief Fund.
5. Jeff revealed that next season's iteration of Survivor will be called Brawn vs. Brain vs. Beauty.
