Are you thinking about purchasing one of Minesh Bhindi's Perfect Portfolio programmes?
Then I suspect that you'd like to know more about what you're going to get before you part with your cash.
If so…
Then this Perfect Portfolio review should be of some help.
Because I've personally been able to get full access to all three programmes.
Which may help you better decide if Perfect Portfolio is for you or not.
Here's what I discovered…
Image source: PerfectPortfolio.com
What is Perfect Portfolio?
Perfect Portfolio say that they 'make safe investing exciting' and 'help people in 46 countries grow their money'.
But how do they actually do that?
This is supposedly achieved via three investment education programmes:
- REIT Income – Real estate;
- Cash Flow Gold and Silver – Metals;
- Index Income – Index funds.
I'll get into the details of each programme in just a moment.
But it's also worth noting that each programme also comes with 1-to-1 coaching and weekly Q&A calls.
Who's Behind Perfect Portfolio?
Perfect Portfolio has been created by Minesh Bhindi and his team.
Minesh claims to have begun negotiating real estate deals at the age of 15 alongside his father in the Canary Wharf area of London.
And supposedly generated £68,000 in cash-back with £250,000 equity from a £1,000,000 investment at the age of 17.
Minesh also states that having delivered talks to university investment clubs for 7 years, taken part in countless interviews, and even having spoke alongside Richard Branson at the 02 Arena…
He decided to create the 'Gold and Silver For Life' programme in 2010.
And the launch of Perfect Portfolio LLC in March 2019 was with the aim of '…helping more people create portfolios that work for them and their families'.

How Much do the Programmes Cost?
It depends on how many you'd like to enrol in.
At the time of writing:
One programme costs £2,997 (one time).
Any two programmes costs £5,994 (one time).
Access to all three programmes costs £8,991 (one time).
Is There a Refund Policy?
It comes with quite a few conditions.
Having looked at their terms in the Privacy Policy…
In order to get your money back…
You must NOT be making more than 1% return each month (average is supposedly 2.2%) '…on the starting capital amount by implementing the strategies for 6 months, after a 1 month learning period' [source].
This essentially means the refund period lasts for 7 months.
But refunds are at Perfect Portfolio's discretion.
You must have attended all of the Q&A's, sent in a copy of 6 months of trading performance on your broker account (real or virtual), and have completed all of the training.
Is Perfect Portfolio a Scam or Legit?
I can't say for sure.
I wasn't able to uncover anything major when I researched the terms 'Perfect Portfolio scam' and 'Minesh Bhindi scam'.
I wasn't able to find any genuine Perfect Portfolio user reviews outside of the testimonials posted on their website either.
I would still caution you to continue your research beyond this review before making any decisions.
You can view Minesh Bhindi's LinkedIn profile here if you're interested.
How Does Perfect Portfolio Work?
As I said.
I've been able to access all three programmes in full.
And they all tend to follow the same flow.
Which is:
1: Watch the intro video;
2: Get a broker account;
3: Register for the weekly Q&A;
4: Complete all of the modules;
5: Book a 1-to-1 call.
A Look Inside Perfect Portfolio
The content for each module is delivered as a single video.
Which is a recording of Minesh explaining his strategies live to an audience in seminar format.
You can also click a button that displays all of the slides for each presentation.
I found this useful because I didn't want to sit through hours of video content.
Here's a brief summary of what each module covers.
But I must stress one point…
The 'claims' made below are their words – not mine.
That's why I've put them in quotation marks.

Conclusion: Caution Advised
To be totally honest?
I'm nothing even close to what could be remotely considered as an 'expert' in analysing investment programmes (yet!).
With that in mind…
I wouldn't really feel comfortable telling you that Minesh Bhindi's Perfect Portfolio is either 'good' or 'bad'.
I do hope that my overview of the modules has helped you in your decision as to whether this programme is right for you or not.
My parting advice is to proceed with caution.
Only ever spend and invest money that you can afford to lose.
Have You Used Perfect Portfolio?

A new home means the start of a new cycle and a need for an invisible welcome sign
According to feng shui, the act of moving is considered a key event in life. It symbolises the start of a new life; a brand new cycle. There are several simple "move-in" rituals that are crucial in welcoming luck to enter the prospective homes.
Who doesn't want a lucky fresh start?
First and foremost, choose the right moving date and time. Both play an important role in the cycles of luck and fortune for the resident. Both the date and time should be in harmony with the owner/occupier's birth chart and the location of the new residence.
An easy way to identify the right date and time is by referring to the annual Chinese Almanac Calendar. Otherwise, consult a feng shui master for help. Once the auspicious date and time are all set, the next step is to carry out the moving-in procedures in their proper order. The order of these is important, and step-by-step literally means step-by-step.
When the clock strikes, get ready and go.
1 Rice Bucket and Red Pockets
Carry a rice container with you when you step into your new home. The container should be filled with rice and have two red pockets inside. This ritual helps to invite wealth and fortune.
2 Getting the Bedroom in Order
The second part of the ritual is setting up the beds, which is associated with fortune and happiness. Get the order right: sheet linens, quilt, then pillows.
The key here is order and the bedding has to be made within an auspicious time frame. To avoid complications, it's always a good idea to set up the bed bases or frames in advance.
3 Fire Up and Make Some Noise
The next step is to add sound and movement to the picture, followed by ventilation and lighting. Here are a series of things to do — once again in the right order.
First, get some water boiling. It's best to use a whistling kettle to add some noise to the space, but if one is not available, any kettle or saucepan will do. As soon as you hear the water boiling, turn on television and the radio. Once you get the audio-visual going, open up all the windows then turn on the air conditioning and electric fans. Last but not least, switch on all the lights.
The idea is to draw prosperity to your new home by introducing vitality. As a way to be conscientious of the environment, all the electrical appliances can be switched off after around 15 minutes when the moving-in ritual is complete.
In Chinese tradition, respecting one's parents and ancestors always tops the list of virtues. If you are going to set up shrines at your new home, you should re-arrange the moving steps and make setting up any shrines the top priority. Depending on your preferences, burning incense is optional.
As the saying goes, "A good head-start is a battle half won." Unless you are totally against the idea of switching on unused electronic appliances, why not give it a try.
If a shrine is needed for your new home, please refer to previous article of "Incense".

Discovery of Latent 3D Keypoints via End-to-end Geometric Reasoning
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 31 (NIPS 2018)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews]
Conference Event Type: Oral
This paper presents KeypointNet, an end-to-end geometric reasoning framework to learn an optimal set of category-specific keypoints, along with their detectors to predict 3D keypoints in a single 2D input image. We demonstrate this framework on 3D pose estimation task by proposing a differentiable pose objective that seeks the optimal set of keypoints for recovering the relative pose between two views of an object. Our network automatically discovers a consistent set of keypoints across viewpoints of a single object as well as across all object instances of a given object class. Importantly, we find that our end-to-end approach using no ground-truth keypoint annotations outperforms a fully supervised baseline using the same neural network architecture for the pose estimation task. The discovered 3D keypoints across the car, chair, and plane categories of ShapeNet are visualized at https://keypoints.github.io/

World's Fastest Calorie Tracking App Provides Users With An Intelligent Health Advisor To Help Make Health Simple
Evolve Health, the world's fastest calorie tracking app and automated health advisor, has launched a new mobile app that helps users stay on top of their health and track their calories with an artificially intelligent health advisor named Eva. The Evolve Health App, now available for free download on iOS devices, provides users with the fastest way to track their calories and nutrients.
Through the app, members can simply tap a button, say what they ate, and then Evolve's artificially intelligent health advisor Ēva, uses natural language processing to detect what foods users are saying, and then dynamically records it all. What used to take two minutes or more to track your diet, can now be accomplished in under 10 seconds.
"When you want to start on a path to a healthier place, a common obstacle is how time consuming it is to keep track of your health and staying motivated," said Stephen Mata, co-founder & CEO of Evolve Fitness. "While developing Evolve, our goal was to create a platform that not only saved you time, but also made it simple to live a healthy lifestyle."
VIDEO:Evolve Health App
The Evolve App recently debuted it's beta on the Apple Music original series, "Planet Of The Apps" where they selected Jessica Alba as a celebrity advisor during their time on the show. On each episode of Planet of the Apps, app makers have 60 seconds to pitch their idea in front of celebrity judges Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Will.i.am and Gary Vaynerchuk on a slow-moving escalator — for a visual idea of an 'elevator pitch.'

Today, the mother nature demands from her able and competent children to come forward and spare a little time and devote a little attention to find the solutions to multiple challenges created by ever growing needs of ever-growing population of mankind particularly in certain unfortunate geographical regions of the globe where greed of certain affluent local people in conjunction with some short-sighted unjust and dishonest people of other regions have caused considerable damage to nature's health to fulfill their own petty wishes.
Today we see that the ever deteriorating health of nature has spread far and wide enveloping our entire globe and thus threatening to wipe off the life which is the very essence of this planet. Through this innovative approach, we can move in that direction a little more closer to find permanent solutions to those challenges while at the same time continue to grow and keep developing to fulfill our genuine needs to make our home planet a better place to live not only today but even during the future. Am happy to note this bold initiative and wish all concerned a very successful execution of this effort.God bless!

Before the show
Many years ago, before the events of Won't You Be Our Neighbor, Earl and Jay worked together. They had formed their closet company, Closet-fornia. The business was great, high-end clients, maybe a celebrity or two. Until one day Jay came into work and Earl's desk had been cleared out. He had badmouthed Jay to half their rolodex. It was devastating and Jay had to start all over. "It was Larry Hagman. Heck of a guy. Heart as big as his hat." [1]
Season 6
Then in the present, it turns out Manny had met Earl's granddaughter Sophie and she became his new girlfriend whom he met in his theater group, something that made Jay mad when he found out that his rival was her grandfather after showing a new idea of his for work.
Gloria organized a dinner for the two men so they could work things out and they soon start disputing again and Earl is not quite happy to hear that his granddaughter is groping his rival's stepson.
Earl goes to Jay and Gloria's house because he thinks the thing between him and Jay is getting way out of control and should do something to work it out.
Manny then enters and introduces himself and Earl asks if this is "the stud who's been groping his Sophie" and Manny tries to assure him that there's nothing untoward between him (Manny) and Sophie, laughs and tells Manny he "believes" him (maybe, maybe not).
Earl sees Jay's box he had shown earlier to Manny, Gloria and Sophie and says he thinks he'll call it the Sock 'n Roll, takes the box and leaves and Jay shouts at him "The hell you are!".
Season 7
Earl reappears in "The Closet Case" where Mitchell has been called to work for him in a consultant job. Earl tricks him in thinking that he wants to bury the hatchet with Jay. A van pulls up in front of Jay's house and Jay sees what has happened. That night, Jay and Mitchell break into Earl's office and Earl catches them and Mitchell is disgusted at Earl for tricking him. Earl and Jay start fighting again and later in Jay's car, Mitchell returns his father's old Rolodex to him which makes Jay very happy; Mitchell snuck it out of Earl's office while he and Jay had their fight for 10 minutes.
Earl reappears in "The Cover-Up" where it turns out that he is leaving horrible comments on Jay's new webshow and Jay and Manny track him down to his house and finds out that it's him doing it after Jay has help from Alex. After a brief fight, Earl suggests that he and Jay could make their collective show, which Jay refuses. Earl decides to make his own show instead, and desactivate commentaries much to Jay's wrath, so Jay won't have to troll him back.
Season 8
Earl briefly reappears in "Halloween 4: The Revenge of Rod Skyhook", dressed as the Devil and fights with Jay who is dressed as Jesus and who asked Manny to steal a picture from Earl's mansion and Jay was seen holding it. The two start fighting until Jay looks at his reflection in the mirror and gives up on trying to take the picture.
Season 9
Earl's death is announced in "In Your Head". He leaves his ashes to Jay as part of a mind game.
- Earl and Jay were once best friends.
- Earl is currently the only adult character to have a recast happen after his original portrayer Jon Polito died on September 1, 2016 from his battle with cancer. His new portrayer Robert Costanzo was first seen in the Season 8 episode Halloween 4: The Revenge of Rod Skyhook which was dedicated in memory of Jon Polito.
- Earl's portrayer, Jon Polito was gay.

Here's how Sania Mirza brings SRK-Salman together!
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Naypyidaw, July 12 (ANI): A Spanish couple visiting Myanmar is facing deportation after a Buddha tattoo was discovered on the man's leg. The tourist couple was visiting Bagan, an ancient town in central Myanmar, when Shin Sandavaya from the Tharmakay monastery, after spotting a Buddha image on the leg of the visitor outside Kantotpalin Pagoda, reported the case to the Bagan police station. Religious authorities from the Nyaung-U office and immigration officers interviewed the 46-year-old tourist and confirmed that he has a Buddha tattoo on his calf that was inked in Spain, reports the Myanmar Times. According to Mandalay police, the two tourists were sent to Yangon the same day (July 10), and the embassy was contacted. The man is speculated to have been deported to Bangkok. In 2014, a Canadian tourist visiting Myanmar with his girlfriend was detained by officials for sporting Buddhist tattoos on his leg. In another incident, bar manager and New Zealander Phil Blackwood was convicted in 2015 of insulting religion when his establishment promoted a cheap drinks night with a poster of a Buddha wearing headphones. He was pardoned and released in January. (ANI) New Delhi, July 12 (ANI): Ace tennis player Sania Mirza has invited both Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan to unveil her highly-awaited autobiography titled 'Ace Against Odds', which she has co-authored with her father Imran Mirza. According to a report in Bollywood.Life, Sania, 29, is planning a grand launch of the book at a few places across the country, for which she has reportedly roped in a few of her Bollywood friends, SRK, Salman and Parineeti Chopra included. Reportedly, the Dabangg Khan would launch her book on July 17, while SRK would launch the book in Hyderabad on July 13. And her bestie Parineeti will be a special guest during the book launch in New Delhi. Choreographer Farah Khan will be among others who will attend the book launch. (ANI)

Will The Tuition Bubble Burst?
Reminiscent of the recent stock market and real estate bubbles, escalating college prices are continuing to reach new heights. According to the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, average tuition in the past two and a half decades has risen by 440 percent, which is more than four times the rate of inflation. While higher ed costs remain untethered to economic realities, students with college loans to pay off continue to graduate into abysmal job markets. Under the circumstances, it's easy to make the case that something has to give. The commentary is in U.S. News and World Report and Gay Clyburn of Carnegie Foundation.

The first officer is the pilot who is second in command. The pilot in the cockpit sitting on the right with 3 stripes on their shoulder epaulets. Often colloquially referred to as the co-pilot because they are the second in command, they are usually just as qualified as the captain.
First officers are always fully qualified to operate the flight, and may "take the wheel" to allow the captain to do other things.

MWRI, Penn State Partner on Women's Health Research
Penn State Behrend in Erie, Pennsylvania, has announced that it will serve as the academic research and commercialization partner for a new Magee-Womens Research Institute in Erie, a $26 million initiative aimed at bringing locally focused clinical trials to the region.
Funded by a $6 million grant from the Erie Community Foundation (ECF) and at least $5 million each from Penn State Behrend, the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation, the Hamot Health Foundation, and UPMC, MWRI Erie will co-locate faculty members and students at the institute's downtown facility, which will be affiliated with UPMC Hamot, and a new biomedical commercialization and translational research lab on the Penn State Behrend campus.
With the funding, faculty members and MWRI Erie researchers will work to develop and commercialize diagnostic tests, surgical devices, and start-up ventures that advance the institute's clinical trials. The lab also will provide space for bench experiments, including human genetic studies, data analytics, and medical-device prototyping. In addition, the college will use $1.1 million of the ECF grant to update biology labs and fund construction of the research and commercialization lab, to be located in the college's Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Center, and will develop new academic programs in biomedical engineering, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
The largest research institute in the United States devoted exclusively to the health of women and infants, Pittsburgh-based MWRI selected Erie as its first expansion site in part because of the large number of families who stay in the region from generation to generation. That data pool will enable researchers to study how genetics drive certain cancers, including ovarian and breast, that occur at elevated rates in Erie County. The institute expects MWRI Erie to attract up to $50 million in new research funding over the next decade from the National Institutes of Health, foundations, and pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
"This initiative has the potential to transform Erie, directly improving the health of generations of women who live here," said Penn State Behrend chancellor Ralph Ford. "It also will stimulate the region's economy, creating a new hub for clinical and collaborative medical research, and for the start-up companies and products that build on the results of those medical studies.

Oh, oh the holidays are here; 'tis the season of unabashed eating and never ending excuses for why one can't control their food intake or show any form of restraint when faced with the plethora of carb/sugar loaded holiday treats. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays, and I especially love eating during the holidays. I actually come from a long tradition of homemade candy, baking and multi-course meal extravaganzas. Despite my culinary background, however, I just can't condone nor accept the attitude that simply because the holidays are upon us we should grow by two pant sizes and give up all our discipline and common sense when faced with food. First of all, its just plain unhealthy. Secondly subconsciously I think it really sends a negative message; one that says, "I am too weak, I have no true self control, I am not capable of staying in line with my principles."
Have you ever asked yourself what pushes you to stuff your face during the holiday? I have, and the answers I have come to are: 1) availability and 2) permission.
Availability: Yes, the food is there, right in your face, luscious, tasty, satisfying, holiday treats. As humans we are hardwired to acquire and store calories, just in case famine hits us. Of course the potential for most of us to encounter true hunger is about as likely as ending up face to face with a saber tooth tiger. Being caught in shopping hell and unable to grab lunch does not qualify as famine. Despite this reality, the nature of our biology is such that evolution is a slow process and our bodies and brains still react much like they did in more precarious and leaner periods of our Human history.
Permission: Permission is the process by which, weeks before the holidays are actually here you surreptitiously start to allow the possibility that a certain holiday is a good opportunity to cheat. As the date nears the scope of permission has increased, it's not just Thanksgiving day or New Years Eve, but rather the whole month or so between the two holidays and maybe even a few weeks before then. By granting yourself permission, you are effectively removing all your arguments for moderation or consistency in your diet.
So what now? You might be asking yourself. Does this mean that the only way of approaching the holidays healthily is to deny yourself those tried and true culinary traditions? Does this mean the end of corn bread stuffing, pumpkin pie, yule logs, fudge and popcorn balls? For some über humans the answer is yes... I am not one of them, and by definition most people fall in my category of being when it comes to food. The simpler, and probably more realistic, answer is mindfulness. Yes, yes let me repeat that MINDFULNESS. Why not try and practice it this holiday season?
- Check your attitudes about the holidays, have you already given yourself permission to gorge yourself like a French Goose at a foie gras farm? If so, let me know and I will bring the funnel to stuff the food down your throat, but if I am going to put the work into it I get first dibs on your foie gras when Armageddon comes.
- Ask yourself how you would ideally like to behave during the holidays when it comes to food. What if any are the discrepancies between this ideal and your actual plans?
- Make a list, and check it twice; what are the foods you are really looking forward to eating? What is it about these foods that gets you so excited? Is it their taste? Their significance in your personal history? When you look at some of them do you actually draw a blank, realizing that you get all rev-ed up out of habit more than anything else?
- Looking at this list, and having checked it twice ask yourself, which foods you are now going to indulge in. The list may be unchanged or may be shorter.
- This next step is very tricky and surprisingly near impossible when first tried by some people - When your opportunity to indulge arrives, SLOW DOWN. Yup, you read it right, slow down. Take a moment to look at your food, smell it, take a small bite at first. Allow yourself to analyse how it tastes and feels and what kinds of thoughts or emotions it triggers. Now take another bite, and then another one after that, each time taking care to actually enjoy your food. At what point does the food you are eating stop producing those really pleasurable associations? Can you take a break from the food and come back to it? Try doing this, give your taste buds a few minutes to dis-habituate to the flavors in your mouth, and then repeat the initial process.
- Once you are satisfied by the experience stop! Yes, the availability of those sugar cookies triggers that primitive brain. It's telling you: "eat, eat it all you fool! You might be starving tomorrow, what if there is no more food, you'll be hungry, and miserable and eventually die!" Your primitive brain is a bit of a catastrophizer as you might see. Be assured there will be more cookies tomorrow, and if there are not and you really want some you can make them or find someone who will for you. You will not starve tomorrow, and if you were going to face some kind of huge famine in the next 24 hours sugar cookies, bread stuffing or Hershey Kisses are not the foods you want to be gorging yourself with. In the eventuality of this latter scenario every person for themselves; shove aunt Hilda to the ground and snatch up that turkey, the butter and get some fluids in now!
This is all nice and easy when you ready it, but how do you prepare for Thanksgiving potlucks and holiday family meals? Here's your battle plan:
- First of all, go back and check your list before you leave the house.
- Secondly, tell yourself either out loud or in your head what it is you want to achieve in terms of food goals for the holidays. With a bit of luck you may even have a supportive friend or family member to share your goals with, someone who is not going to mock you, enable the catastrophizing brain or nag you should you slip; but rather a person who can help keep you accountable or at the very least provide one reminder should the situation start to get a bit hairy.
- Walk away from the food! Don't hover near tables of food, that is like putting an alcoholic in front of a fully stocked bar with only high end spirits. Grab what you want and walk away.
- Use a smaller plate; research has shown that we fill our plates, regardless of their sizes, so smaller plates will end up having more reasonable quantities of food. Did you know that the plates we use now used to be the sizes used for serving plates 100 years ago? Yes ladies and gentlemen we are effectively eating out of the serving platters.
- Check in with yourself, ask yourself what your hunger is about. Are you physically in need of food? Does your body require some specific nutrient? Does that bowl of mashed potatoes just look like a delightful cloud of bliss that you want to shove your face in? After reasonably satisfying hungers which are born of emotional needs (home made fudge was a big part of our holiday cheer and it just brings the warm and fuzzies right back when you bite into a piece and let it melt on your tongue), try to stop yourself, this food is not meant to provide sustenance, just dopamine, and some fleeting sense of happiness.
Good luck to all, remember to enjoy your food this holiday, the healthy and the less healthy ones. Try not to allow guilt to creep in should you make less than ideal choices, it defeats the purpose of indulgence.

If state legislation gave control of the reservoir's water to the authority, plans for the next 50 years would include enough water to meet Herkimer County's needs, authority Executive Director Patrick Becher and engineers told legislators Wednesday, Becher said.
"All of our long-range plans include that entire area," he said.
Of course MVWA's plans include Herkimer County. Nothing would satisfy MVWA and its leadership more than to make customers of even more Herkimer County residents.
But maybe Herkimer County residents don't want MVWA to be their supplier. Why should they have to deal with MVWA to get their own Herkimer County water, whether it's now, 50 years from now, or later?
No matter what "riparian rights" MVWA may claim, those rights do not include taking water out of the watercourse and sending it elsewhere. To do such a thing requires the State's permission. That is because the water in the West Canada Creek, and Hinckley Reservoir, is the State's resource, not the MVWA's. It is for the State to decide (currently the DEC) whether a water resource, located in Herkimer County, should be used to satisfy needs elsewhere such as in western Oneida County. The State's decision making, meanwhile, is governed by a body of case law on how that decision should be made, including Syracuse v Gibbs, 283 NY 275 (1940) which obliges the State to ensure that water supplies which are more available for use by one community are not absorbed by another. [BTW, western Oneida County is already supplied water from Lake Ontario, so it does not need Herkimer County water. But if Herkimer County cannot get all that it needs from Hinckley Reservoir, there are few alternatives.]
Mrs. Destito's legislation would sweep all the State protections away, and , essentially, give the MVWA sovereignty over 48.5 MGD of water. This is unprecedented.
Herkimer County Legislator Bono wants a written guarantee on the percentage of water Herkimer County would get.
"I want a binding agreement," Bono saidWhile Legislator Bono is well intended, Herkimer County cannot afford to be naive. It was MVWA's breaking of an old agreement that has brought this entire issue to the forefront. Written agreements mean nothing to the MVWA . . . and no one should allow themselves to be blindsided by Mr. Becher's soothing presentations. There is a history of undependability there, and history has a habit of repeating itself.
Mrs. Destito's legislation needs to be killed ... now!

As a pediatric oncology patient, Carly knows first-hand the impact that giving back can have. Two years ago when she learned that she had leukemia, her treatments kept her in the hospital for several months. Travelling between the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario – Kingston General Hospital site and Ottawa's Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, she missed home, family and her regular activities.
When she was finally well enough to return home, she walked through her front door to discover a present waiting for her from the Shine Through the Rain Foundation. Inside the present were activity books and crafts to help keep her busy as she continued through her treatment.
"Receiving those gifts made me feel normal again and helped me feel like I could tackle anything," says Carly.
When she asked her Mom how these gifts were made possible, she learned that it was because people had donated money to the organization, which helped them purchase the gifts for Carly.
This sparked a desire in Carly to do the same for other kids and families who were going through a situation like her own.
"I decided that I wanted to give back and make something good come out of a horrible situation," says Carly.
With the help of her family, Carly began making and selling suckers with the words "Cancer Sucks" on them. Through craft sales, grocery store visits and community support, this year Carly was able to raise over $3,500 that will be going to support the Children's Cancer Fund for the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario.
During their time at the Cancer Centre, Carly and her family have gotten to know many of the other children, families and care team members who work here. Selling suckers has helped Carly and her family say 'Thank You' and make a positive impact for the people they have met throughout her journey.
"I hope through this work that I will be able to make a lot of the other kids here feel better, I just want good things for them," says Carly.

The speed of light in air, water, and glass is 3×108 m/s, 2.2 ×108 m/s and 2×108 m/s respectively. The change in speed of light when it passes from one medium to another is the cause of the refraction of light. The medium, through which the light passes is called optical medium. The optical medium, in which the velocity of light is more, is called rarer medium. The medium in which the velocity of light is comparatively less is called denser medium.
Some examples of refraction of light:
1. The apparent upward bending of a pencil when placed in water:
2. Image of coin in water:
3. Twinkling of stars:
Let a point object O be placed just below a rectangular glass slab ABCD of thickness AD or BC as shown in the figure. A ray OP incident normally on the surface CD passes to air without deviation along PQ. Ray OS in the glass is refracted along SR in the air. The two rays meet at I when produced back. Thus, 'I' is the virtual image of the object 'O'. Hence, the object at 'O' appears raised at 'I'. When viewed directly the object O through the glass slab. Let ∠OSN = ∠i be the angle of the incidence in the glass and ∠MSR = ∠r be the angle of refraction in the air. Here, PO is real depth and PI is medium, the object appears to be in less depth due to refraction. Such less depth is called apparent depth and the actual depth is called real depth.
The process of bending of light as it passes from one medium to another medium is called refraction of light.
AO → incident ray
OB → refracted ray
BC → emergent ray
MN and M'N' = normal
∠AOM = Angle of incidence
∠BON = Angle of refraction
The velocity of light in rarer medium is greater than velocity of the light in denser medium. So, because of the variation of speed of light in two medias, the light bends which is the main cause of refraction.
The laws of refraction are as follows:
The refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of velocity light in air (or vacuum) to the velocity of the light in the medium.
∴ RI of a medium =
The refraction of light is shown in the figure.
In the gven figure:
AO → incident ray
OB → refracted ray
BC → emergent ray
MN = normal
∠AOM = Angle of incidence
∠BON = Angle of refraction
Since the refracted ray bends towards the normal we can say light comes from rarer medium (water) and falls to denser medium (glass).
When a beam of light travels from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. So, the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence.
Due to refraction of light , light rays coming from the bottom of pond, (i.e. denser medium) bends on the surface of water and passes to the air (i.e. rarer medium). These deviated rays reach on our eyes and the bottom of the pond appears slightly upwards than its actual position. As a result, the apparent depth of water in pond is less than its depth.
Due to refraction of light, the light rays coming from the apparent position of the fish appears shorter eyes and he hits the spear at that point but the fish does not get hit because the actual position of the fish is slightly below that of apparent position of the fish.
The atmosphere of the earth contains of layers of air with different densities. Due to wind, the densities change continuously. The rays of the light coming from the stars pass through the atmosphere and get refracted. These refracted rays come to our eyes and we see the stars as twinkling.
The angle of incidence for which the angle of refraction is 900 when light ray passes from denser medium to rarer medium is called critical angle.
Here, c is the critical angle.
When an incident ray of light from denser medium goes to rarer medium with the angle of incidence greater than the critical angle, all the rays of light are reflected back in the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection of light.
Necessary conditions:
The angle of incidence for which the angle of refraction is 900 when light ray passes from denser medium to rarer medium is called critical angle. Critical angle of glass, water and diamond are as follows:
The relation between refractive index(µ) and critical angle (C) is given by
Refractive index (µ) = Refractive index is inversely proportional to the sine of critical angle.
It means that the ray is passing from glass to air such that the angle of incidence is 420 while the angle of refraction is 900.
Observe the given figure and answer the questions.
Optical fibers are very small thread of transparent glass that works as a light pipe. Their main uses are:
Any two effects of total reflection of light are as follows:
In summer, in the coal tarred roads or in the deserts, optical illusion is observed due to total internal reflection of light. This phenomenon is called mirage.
The sparkling of diamond is due to the total internal reflection of light. Since, the critical angle of diamond is very small (i.e. 240), the light entering in a diamond undergoes multiple total internal reflections and light gets trapped in it. This causes sparkling of diamond.
A light pipe is a bent rod made by transparent glass which works on total internal reflection of light.
It is used by the doctors to observe the internal organs like stomach, nose, ear, etc.
The relation is given by,
Refractive index (µ) =
Real depth = 3m
Refractive index = 1.33
Apparent depth = ?
We know,
RI (µ) =
or, 1.33 =
or, Apparent depth = 3/1.33
∴ Apparent depth = 2.256m.
Real depth = ?
Refractive index =
Apparent depth = 5m
We know,
RI (µ) =
or, =
or, real depth = 20/3
∴ real depth = 6.66m
Angle of incidence (∠i) = 300
Angle of refraction (∠r) = ?
Refractive index (µ) = 1.5 We have,
Refractive index =
or, 1.5 =
or, Sin r =
or, Sin r = 1/3
or, r = Sin-1 (1/3)
∴ r = 19.470
Hence, the angle of refraction is 19.470
Angle of incidence (∠i) = 450
Angle of refraction (∠r) = 300
Refractive index (µ) = ?
We have,
Refractive index = = = = = 1.414
Hence, refractive index of the ice is 1.414.
Real depth = 20cm
Refractive index (µ) = 1.33
Apparent depth = ?
We know,
Refractive index (µ) =
or, 1.33 =
or, Apparent depth = 20/1.33
∴ Apparent depth = 15.03 cm
Speed of light in air (c) = 3 x 108 m/s
Speed of light in glass (v) = 2 x 108 m/s
RI of glass (µ) = ?
µ = = = 1.5
If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 x 108 m/s and the refractive index of diamond is 2.42, find the speed of light in diamond.
Speed of light in air (c) = 3 x10 \(^{8}\) m/s
Speed of light in diamond (v) =?
RI of diamond(µ) = 2.42
µ =
or, v =
or, v =
or, v = 1.24 x 108 m/s
Hence, the speed of light in diamond is 1.24 x10 \(^{8}\) m/s.
A ray of light in air strikes a glass sav at an angle of incidence 20 \(^{0}\) . Find the angle of refraction in glass. (R.I. of glass = 1.5)
Angle of incidence (i) = 20\(^{0}\)
Refractive index of glass (µ) = 1.5
Angle of refraction (r) = ?
We know that ,
µ = \(\frac{sin\;i}{sin\;r}\)
1.5 = \(\frac{sin\;20}{sin\;r}\)
sin r = \(\frac{sin\;20}{1.5}\)
or, r = sin \(^{-1}\) \(\frac{0.3420}{1.5}\) = 13.18 \(^{o}\)
Therefore, the angle of refraction in glass is13.18 \(^{o}\)
The real depth of a pond is 2m, If the refractive index of water is 1.33, find the apparent depth of the pond.
Here, Real depth = 2m
R.I. of water = 1.33
Apparent depth = ?
We have,
R.I. = \(\frac{Real\;Depth}{Apparent\;depth}\)
or, 1.33 = \(\frac{2}{Apparent\;Depth}\) = 1.503 m
\(\therefore\) Apparent Depth of the pond is 1.503 m.
Here ,
Refractive index of diamond (µ) = 2.42
Critical angle (C) = ?
We know ,
SinC = \(\frac{}1{µ}\)
or, C = \(sin^{-1}\) ( \(\frac{1}{2.42}\) ) = 24.41 \(^0\)C
Therefore, the critical angle of diamond is 24.41 \(^0\)C .
Resistance (R) = 2Ω
Current (I) = 2A
Potential Difference = ?
From, Ohm's law, we have
V = 2 \(\times\) 2
\(\therefore\) V = 4V
Hence , the potential difference is 4V.
What is the length of a manganin wire of diameter of 0.44mm required to construct a 10Ω coil ? Resistivity of manganin is 4.43 \(\times\) \(10^{-7}\)
Diameter (d) = 0.44 \(\times\) \(10^{-4}\)m
Resistance (R) = 10Ω
Resistivity (ρ) = 4.43 \(\times\) \(10^{-7}\) Ωm
Length (l) = ?
We know,
R = ρ \(\frac{1}{A}\)
or, R = ρ \(\frac{1}{πd^2}\) \(\times\)4
10 = \(\frac{4.43 \times 10^{-7} \times l \times 4}{\frac {22}{7} 4.4 \times 10^{-4} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-4} }\)
l = \(\frac{10 \times 22 \times 4.4 \times 4.4 \times 10^{-8} }{7 \times 4.43 \times 4 \times 10^ {-7} } \)
or, l = \(\frac{4.26 \times 10^{-5}}{1.24 \times 10^{-5} }\)
= 3.42
Hence, the length of the manganin wire is 3.42 m.

Free Radicals: Remixing History Through the Power of Print
February 23 – March 26, 2016
Program: Thursday, February 25, 2016 7:00 pm with Jenny Schmid & Tonja Torgerson
Reception: Thursday, February 25, 2016 8:00 – 10:00pm
Curated by Jenny Schmid, Professor of Art, and Howard Oransky, Director of the Katherine E. Nash Gallery, Free Radicals: Remixing History Through the Power of Print, considers the power of associative thinking and historical mash-ups in the print medium. Graphic media inherently offers artists the potential to remix or reference history. The artists in this exhibition discuss revolution and employ metaphor in sampling and in the free combination of history and politics that might be more limiting in other disciplines. The pursuit of free association may not appear to be directly activist, but the use of artistic license to draw on the subconscious may be a tool for the deconstruction of assumed paradigms.
Artists in the exhibition include Sandow Birk, Randy Bolton, Julie Buffalohead, Enrique Chagoya, Sue Coe, Wille Cole, Jim Denomie, Fred Hagstrom, John Hitchcock and Emily Arthur, Barbara Kruger, Michael Krueger, Glenn Ligon, Hung Liu, Emmy Lingscheit, Martin Mazorra, Kristin Powers Nowlin, Andrew Raftery, Robert Rauschenberg, John Risseeuw, Roger Shimomura, Lorna Simpson, Piotr Szyhalski, Tonja Torgerson, Ericka Walker, and Valerie Wallace.

Materials Science and Engineering Professor David McComb is set to be honored this summer as one of just eight inductees of the Microscopy Society of America's 2019 Class of Fellows.
The distinguished honor recognizes those who have served the scientific community and made significant contributions and achievements in the field of microscopy and microanalysis.
McComb, who is an Ohio Research Scholar in Nanoscale Materials Characterization and serves as associate director of the Institute for Materials Research, is recognized "for development of electron energy-loss spectrometry and its application to inorganic, organic and molecular systems, as well as the development and implementation of remote microscopy for teaching and learning," according to the Microscopy Society of America.
He also serves as director of Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS), where his remote microscopy resources are housed. CEMAS makes each of its instruments accessible through remote access, enabling instruments to be used and demonstrated in a world-leading digital lecture theater within the facility.
"We have well over $29 million worth of tools in this facility," McComb said. "That is a capability that needs to be accessible way beyond The Ohio State University."
McComb earned his doctoral degree in Physics at the University of Cambridge after studying chemistry at the University of Glasgow. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Materials. Before coming to Ohio State in 2011, he was co-director of the London Centre for Nanotechnology as well as Director of Research and Deputy Head of the Department of Materials at Imperial College London.
McComb will be conferred on Aug. 5 at this year's Microscopy & Microanalysis annual meeting in Portland, Oregon. The Microscopy Society of America is an affiliate society of the American Institute of Physics and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

It appears the most dependable way to anticipate if Yellow Creek is running is to check the Wauchecha AFWS rain gauge, which sits on the southeastern corner of the upper watershed. In the summer a minimum of 1 inch of rain 4-5 hours before putting on is needed. In the winter the same amount of rainfall would create a nice level.
Another way to anticipate when Yellow Creek is running is to use the Cheoah gage. To use it you must assume that there is no or minimal discharge coming from the Cheoah. The only other major tributary upstream of the gauge is Deep Creek, which is micro and drops fast (not runnable, by the way). When I see the Cheoah spike, that means Yellow and Deep are both going. Once Deep drops out of the curve, the gauge practically reads just for Yellow since it's so close. Unfortunately, we need more runs to be reported to determine accurate correlations, though I think 300 cfs as a low, 450 as mid, and 600+ as max is a good starting place. A significant limitation of the use of the Cheoah gage is that on a normal spike, by the time the water reaches Tapoco, the run is dropping fast. In addition, it can be hard to distinguish between Yellow Creek water and all the other water flowing past the Cheoah gage.
We were out there today and it was around 1.8-2.0 feet on the colvert and it was juicy I would venture to say close to the high side of good. Just watch out there is lots of wood out there.
Jerry We ran it on feb 1st 08 level was 1.5 felt like a good low medium level
We checked the new culvert gauge on May 5 and it was a foot. Hiked up, looked awfully bony. What is a good level on this gauge?
Hey this is steven I just wanted to comment that me and my buddy daniel young ran yellow earlier this month at a very low flow VERY LOW. Like paddling on rocks the whole time. It was a blast! anyway. I just wanted to add that it looked like there was some new wood on a couple rapids I don't know there names though. So keep an eye out for that.
Ran Yellow Creek today at 9 inches or should I say I scooted it. All drops were runable just too low. Cheoah was at 134cfs.
There was plenty of water to run the 20 footer. It'd be a great park-n-huck falls even at low water. It's gotta be the easiest 20 footer I've ran. It has a nice pool at the top to simply float off the lip, just run it center to right of center. The left side could hurt.
Obie, Daniel, & myself did this run on 12-07-2004. Beware of a few nasty strainers on the river-left shore at the 2nd to last boulder drop before the tunnel. The sieve also had a huge log jammed in it. Duck under 2 trees on 2nd of the triple slides. Belive it's called Limbo. AWESOME run! Ran at about 350-400 cfs then ran Cheaoh at well over 3,600 cfs.
On 8/7/04 I put a gage up on Yellow Creek. Its located at the take-out on Hwy 129 at the Yellow Creek & Cheoah confluence. It is a spray painted gage, upstream on river left of the culvert -- best seen from upstream river right. 0" is the base of the culvert. It was running 5" when I painted it, so the gage actually starts at 6" and caps out at 5ft. The marks are in 2" incraments. I would assume a minimum run would have to be somewhere over 1ft. Please, start reporting levels so we can dial in a low, med and high for this one.
We ran it Saturday 2/7/04. Cheoah was around 120 CFS. Seemed to be about the same level the pictures were taken at. Seemed like a Good level, maybe a little low. 4 peoplein our group ran most of the stuff and 2 of us walked most of it...I was in the latter. But still fun. We ended up walking from below the falls all the way to below the sieve. We weren't real sure about where it was. Seems like you could run some of the other stuff below the falls but before the Sieve. The Portage "trail" was marked with orange ribbons which made the portage a little easier...but not much easier. Someone should paint a gauge on one of the bridges so we could start to figure out what it takes to run...
I first ran Yellow Creek with Daniel from the Nantahala Gorge on March 30th, 2002. Anyone out there know of an earlier descent?
There are currently ongoing negotiations to protect Yellow Creek from development and other water quality impacts through Dam relicensing. The dam owner on the Cheaoh owns all of the Yellow Creek Gorge. It appears likely that a significant buffer will be established that protects the creek and our right to access it. AW is working to protect this creek, along with the Cheoah River. The run above the falls features a number of slides. The nature of the creek changes after the 2 or 3 slides below the falls into a more boulder drop style of creekin. The second boulder rapid after the falls has a nasty sieve in it and should be portaged. This requires also portaging the first boulder rapid.
A spray painted staff gage (thanks Rob!) is located at the take-out on Hwy 129 at the Yellow Creek & Cheoah confluence. It is upstream on river left of the culvert -- best seen from upstream river right. 0" is the base of the culvert. It was running 5" when painted, so the gage actually starts at 6" and caps out at 5ft. The marks are in 2" increments.
At this time our best guess for reading the gage is as follows:
1 foot: bare minimum
1.2 : nice low
1.4 : med
1.6 and up: high
Please help dial this gage in: report your runs!
Permits are not required for this reach.
We have no additional detail on this route.

United States District Court, D. Vermont
February 12, 2018
Carmine Centrella and Mary Brennan-Centrella, Plaintiffs,v.Ritz-Craft Corporation of Pennsylvania, Inc., and Mountain View Modular Homes, Inc., Defendants.
M. Conroy United States Magistrate Judge.
case arose from alleged misrepresentations and broken
promises regarding a modular home purchased by Plaintiffs
Carmine Centrella and Mary Brennan-Centrella in 2013.
Defendant Ritz-Craft Corporation of Pennsylvania, Inc.,
manufactured the home; and Defendant Mountain View Modular
Homes, Inc., completed and installed it, and sold it to
Plaintiffs. After a five-day trial, a jury found in favor of
Plaintiffs on their consumer protection claim but in favor of
Ritz-Craft on Plaintiffs' breach of warranty claims.
before the Court is Ritz-Craft's Supplemental Motion for
Post-Trial Relief, wherein Ritz-Craft seeks judgment as a
matter of law or, in the alternative, a new trial, pursuant
to Rules 50(b) and 59(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure. (Doc. 169.)[1] Plaintiffs have filed an Opposition (Doc.
162), [2] and Ritz-Craft has replied (Doc. 163). For
the reasons stated below, Ritz-Craft's Supplemental
Motion for Post-Trial Relief (Doc. 169) is DENIED.
and Procedural Background
At the
time of their purchase of the modular home that is the
subject of this case, Plaintiffs were residents of
Connecticut and owned property in Isle La Motte, Vermont.
They long planned to build a home on their Vermont property
where they could retire and live with their family. With this
in mind, Mary Brennan-Centrella researched home building and
modular homes for years, focusing on energy-efficient homes.
She eventually decided to contract with Mountain View for the
purchase of a modular home.
August 2012, Mountain View recommended Ritz-Craft to
Plaintiffs. Mary knew Mountain View and Ritz-Craft were
separate entities but assumed they had a working relationship
and collaborated with each other in the installation of Ritz-
Craft's homes. Mountain View's website affirmed this
assumption, stating that it was allied with Ritz-Craft,
describing Ritz-Craft's one- and ten-year warranties, and
providing a link to a video of the president of Ritz-Craft
making statements and warranties to consumers, including a
warranty that Ritz-Craft homes provide maximum energy
efficiency. The website also indicated that Ritz-Craft's
modular homes were built to comply with all applicable local
and state codes. Ritz-Craft's own website similarly
described its warranties and contained other information that
Plaintiffs reviewed before purchasing the home, including a
statement that all Ritz-Craft homes are "inherently
green" and energy efficient.
November 2012, Plaintiffs visited the Ritz-Craft factory in
Pennsylvania. A Mountain View representative met Plaintiffs
at the front door of the factory. Upon entering the building,
Plaintiffs observed a display in the lobby personally
welcoming them. The couple toured the facility and was guided
through the manufacturing process, step-by-step, for
approximately four hours. During the tour, Plaintiffs met
various Ritz-Craft employees and discussed the modular
homes' energy efficiency. A Ritz-Craft employee
emphasized the homes' energy efficiency and told
Plaintiffs that a Ritz-Craft home--whether a base model or
the top model-would meet Vermont's energy code. In
deciding whether to purchase a Ritz-Craft modular home,
Plaintiffs considered the representations made to them during
this tour, as well as the representations made in
Ritz-Craft's advertisements and corporate videos.
January 18, 2013, Plaintiffs entered into a Sales Agreement
with Mountain View for the purchase and installation of a
Ritz-Craft modular home. The parties agreed on a purchase
price of $226, 875, which was later increased to
approximately $246, 000. In addition, Plaintiffs paid
Ritz-Craft $94, 262.47 for the home.
the Sales Agreement was signed, the modules for the home were
delivered to the home site in Vermont, and in April 2013,
they were set on a foundation. Thereafter, various problems
arose. First, Mountain View discovered a missing tub shower
enclosure, requiring Mountain View to purchase a tub and
provide tile work. Later, an energy-efficiency report warned
against Plaintiffs using the shower due to health and safety
On July
18, 2013, Plaintiffs began occupying the house, and more
problems arose. For example, when Plaintiffs turned on the
heat downstairs, it turned on upstairs instead. Additionally,
water poured onto the upstairs hardwood floor and leaked
through to the first floor ceiling. Plaintiffs contacted a
plumbing company to evaluate the situation, and the company
found code violations in the plumbing and heating systems,
along with elevated carbon monoxide levels. Plaintiffs hired
another plumbing company to inspect the plumbing and heating
systems in the house, and that company also found code
violations. In January 2014, a mechanical company discovered
frozen pipes in the upper story of the house. And later, a
home inspector hired by Mountain View found problems in the
insulation work within the home's walls. Plaintiffs
notified Mountain View and Ritz-Craft about the home's
defects and required repairs, including but not limited to
inadequate installation of walls, defective plumbing design,
energy code violations, and heating system problems resulting
in excessive heating costs and inadequate heating.
On June
2, 2014, Plaintiffs filed their Complaint against Ritz-Craft
and Mountain View, alleging violations of the Vermont
Consumer Protection Act (VCPA) and breaches of express and
implied warranties in relation to Plaintiffs' purchase of
the modular home. (Doc. 1.) About a year later, after a
failed mediation attempt (Doc. 51), default was entered
against Mountain View pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 55(a) (Doc. 55), leaving Ritz-Craft as the only
active defendant in the case. Thereafter, Ritz-Craft filed a
Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 63), which the Court denied
in an Opinion and Order dated August 23, 2016 (Doc. 73).
While the Motion for Summary Judgment was pending, Plaintiffs
filed a Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint, which the
Court granted. (Doc. 76.) On October 13, 2016, the Amended
Complaint was filed: it added no new claims, but rather,
alleged additional facts in support of the claims contained
in the original Complaint. (Doc. 77.)
the parties attended a second failed mediation, conducted
additional discovery, and filed several motions in limine in
preparation for trial. After a five-day trial in August 2017,
the jury found in favor of Plaintiffs on their consumer
protection claim, awarding them their consideration paid to
Ritz-Craft for the home in the stipulated amount of $94, 262.
(Doc. 134 at 1-2.) The jury found in favor of Ritz-Craft,
however, on Plaintiffs' breach of warranty claims,
finding that Plaintiffs failed to prove that Ritz-Craft made
any warranties about the home to Plaintiffs or that
Plaintiffs were in privity of contract with Ritz-Craft.
(Id. at 2-3.)
parties filed post-trial motions. Plaintiffs filed an
Application for Costs and Attorney Fees (Doc. 141) and a
Motion for Prejudgment Interest (Doc. 139), which are
currently pending and will be addressed in a separate Opinion
and Order. And Ritz-Craft filed the pending Supplemental
Motion for Post-Trial Relief (Doc. 169), which is under
consideration herein. Ritz-Craft's Post-Trial Motion
contains both a Rule 50(b) motion for judgment as a matter of
law (id. at 5-20) and, in the alternative, a Rule
59(a) motion for a new trial (id. at 20-21), as
discussed below.
for Judgment as a Matter of Law
on Rule 50(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
Ritz-Craft makes the following arguments in support of its
motion for judgment as a matter of law: (1) the Court should
have granted Ritz-Craft's Motion for Summary Judgment
with respect to Plaintiffs' VCPA claim (Doc. 169 at 5-6);
(2) the Court should have denied Plaintiffs' Motion for
Leave to Amend Complaint (id. at 7); (3) the Court
should have granted Ritz-Craft's Rule 50(a) motion for
judgment as a matter of law, made orally after the close of
Plaintiffs' evidence at trial, and the Court may now
grant the motion post-trial under Rule 50(b) (id. at
7-13); (4) the jury charge regarding the VCPA claim contained
information that was prejudicial to Ritz-Craft (id.
at 14); (5) the verdict form improperly failed to require the
jury to make an express finding of the particular
misrepresentation or omission giving rise to a determination
that Ritz-Craft violated the VCPA (id. at 14-17);
(6) the Court should not have permitted Plaintiffs'
expert James Bradley to testify regarding opinions that were
not disclosed in his expert report (id. at 17-19);
and (7) the Court's instruction to the jury regarding
Mountain View's involvement in this lawsuit was
insufficient (id. at 19-20).
Legal Standard
Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b) provides that:
If the court does not grant a motion for judgment as a matter
of law made under Rule 50(a), the court is considered to have
submitted the action to the jury subject to the court's
later deciding the legal questions raised by the motion. No
later than 28 days after the entry of judgment-or if the
motion addresses a jury issue not decided by a verdict, no
later than 28 days after the jury was discharged-the movant
may file a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law and
may include an alternative or joint request for a new trial
under Rule 59.
succeed on a Rule 50 motion for judgment as a matter of law,
the moving party must show that, "after full hearing on
an issue at trial, 'there is no legally sufficient
evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury' to resolve the
issue in favor of the non-moving party." Cross v.
New York City Transit Auth., 417 F.3d 241, 247 (2d Cir.
2005) (quoting Fed.R.Civ.P. 50(a)(1)); see
Galdieri-Ambrosini v. Nat'l Realty & Dev. Corp.,
136 F.3d 276, 289 (2d Cir. 1998) ("Judgment as a matter
of law may not properly be granted under Rule 50 unless the
evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the opposing
party, is insufficient to permit a reasonable juror to find
in her favor."). In reviewing a Rule 50 motion, the
court "may consider all the record evidence, but in
doing so it 'must draw all reasonable inferences in
favor of the nonmoving party, and it may not make credibility
determinations or weigh the evidence.'"
Cross, 417 F.3d at 247 (quoting Reeves. v.
Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 150
(2000)); see S.E.C. v. Ginder, 752 F.3d 569, 574 (2d
Cir. 2014) ("The court must consider the evidence in
the light most favorable to the non-movant and give that
party the benefit of all reasonable inferences that the jury
might have drawn in his favor from the evidence."
(internal quotation marks omitted).) Thus, weak evidence does
not itself justify judgment as a matter of law; and the
judge's role is not to resolve problems with testimony,
but rather, to determine whether a reasonable jury could make
the inference the jury made.
movant's burden in achieving Rule 50 relief is
"particularly heavy" where, as here, a jury has
deliberated and returned its verdict. Cross, 417
F.3d at 248. The motion must be denied unless "the
evidence is such that, without weighing the credibility of
the witnesses or otherwise considering the weight of the
evidence, there can be but one conclusion as to the verdict
that reasonable [persons] could have reached."
Id. (quoting Samuels v. Air Transp. Local
504, 992 F.2d 12, 14 (2d Cir. 1993)). In other words,
the court may grant a post-verdict Rule 50 motion only if
there is "such a complete absence of evidence
supporting the verdict that the jury's findings could
only have been the result of sheer surmise and
conjecture" or there is "such an overwhelming
amount of evidence in favor of the movant that reasonable and
fair[-]minded [persons] could not arrive at a verdict against
him." Id. (quoting Song v. Ives Labs.,
Inc., 957 F.2d 1041, 1046 (2d Cir. 1992)); see also
Drake v. Allergan, Inc., 111 F.Supp.3d 562, 566 (D. Vt.

In Jesus There's Peace
Contributed by Gregory Thomas on Mar 18, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: When there's peace to be found nowhere else there is peace to be found in Jesus.
Full Harvest Fellowship Ministries
In Jesus There's Peace
John 16 31-33
Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? 32 The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
We must note that Jesus is in a very deep discussion with his disciples and is thrilled with the revelations of his disciples but he has to quickly remind them that though they have drawn a conclusion that he has truly come from God there's an hour to come that they will soon scatter at the time of his arrest. He further states "Christ would be alone, and yet in that hour the Father is with me". Note the origin of in me … peace. He lets them know that in him they had peace, but in the world they would have tribulation. Nevertheless be of good cheer
(be courageous). Even though they would be opposed by the world, they should remember that Christ had overcome the world. So should they overcome the world because they would be persecuted for baring witness of his name.
As we attempt to walk this Christian walk we should be reminded of the things Christ had to endure for the sake of our freedom, and be reminded that in Christ there is peace, therefore, we cannot abandon the one who holds what we need within himself nor turn to the world because the world abhors every principle that he teaches or stands for. Jesus tells them that in the world there is nothing more than tribulation, nonetheless, though that's all the world has, Jesus says "Be of Good Cheer". Therefore, we have to look into the eye of adversity and stand in a posture of courage never wavering, not looking to the right, to the left or behind but doing what Jesus has said, being courageous. Paul says in Philippians 3:13 & 14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. This is to suggest that he is not detained but one thing he does he forgets the things that were behind him and attaining ahead of him and further states that he pushes toward the characteristic which is his reward of God in Christ Jesus. For that reason, we need to keep it pushing and forget everything that's behind us and keep pressing toward the prize, because all in all Jesus is everything, including peace.
As we conclude we should understand that the father is with Jesus as Jesus is with the father and should be noted that because of this connection in God there is comfort and in Jesus there is peace because the father has never departed.
