Chat Thai at "Thai Town"
Chat Thai
20 Campbell St. Haymarket
02 9211 1808
A huge hello from Sydney! I have been crazily travelling a lot lately, just coming back from Cambodia, Vietnam and Hong Kong, we headed off to Sydney to celebrate P.Daddy's birthday! Being his big 7-0 we decided to go all out and book Sir Stamford at Circular Quay for the weekend. Look at the tranquil garden view! Sadly it was facing one of the big roads and overpass which is an exit of a tunnel. Thankfully it wasn't too noisy here!
As I have booked Monopole for dinner, I thought for lunch we should eat something Asian. In hindsight I think P.Daddy would like to go somewhere near Circular Quay… but ahem, I am really dying to try Chat Thai so here we are 😛 P.Mummy kept going, "why are we waiting so long to have CHATTIME???" OMG, I can't even be bothered correcting her. But if I accidentally called Chat Thai Chattime, you will know why 😛
I always like to order Pad Kee Mao when I am in a Thai restaurant, so here is Chat Thai's Pad Kee Mao $9.90. I really like Chat Thai's version- the flat noodles are wider than normal and nicely chewy. The whole dish was full of flavour and had a nice kick to it. The chicken and gai lan were both super tender. I would definitely recommend this dish!
Hubby decided to have a "healthier and lighter" option of Larb Gai $12. Really, it's warm minced chicken salad with more protein than salad LOL… he had P Mummy and P Daddy fooled! I love the larb gai in here, it had the right balance of sweet, salty and sour.
What was less impressive was the Crying Tiger $10, which is a beef tenderloin with smoked chilli and tamarind sauce. For some odd reason I thought Crying Tiger is supposed to make you cry cos it's so spicy, but sadly this is not the case. The beef was also very tough and the sauce was nothing to write home about. I think we virtually left this dish untouched.
Dessert time! While we were waiting for our seats I saw the staff making these tantalising coconuty things and of course I needed to try it! Khanom craok $7 is the real name and the description said sweet and salty coconut cream puddings. It was indeed weirdly wonderfully sweet and salty and even had bits of shallots in it. It was quite addictive really.
The next dessert dish I tried to order was the saaku bua loy, which is this pandan infused sago young coconut thing that sounded so awesome. Unfortunately they sold out and I had to settle for the sweet and slightly salty black sticky rice and coconut cream pudding – khao nieaw daam bieak $5.5. It was nice but I think P.Mummy and Daddy were bigger fans of it than I was.
I was amazed at the dessert selection in Chat Thai actually, there were at least 32 kinds of desserts and I seriously wanted to try every one of them. I must go back again!

Newcastle are interested in securing a permanent move for on-loan striker Salomon Rondon, after the Venezuelan scored his first league goals for the club at the weekend.
His parent club West Brom are thought to be 'desperate' to secure a fee for the player as well, given the financial constraints caused by their relegation from the Premier League last season. That could mean that the two parties come together to thrash out a fee for Rondon, who scored a brace in a 2-1 win over Bournemouth at the weekend.
The win was a second straight success for the Magpies and eases the pressure on manager Rafa Benitez, who before last weekend, had failed to lead his team to victory in 10 Premier League games.
FT: Newcastle Utd 2-1 Bournemouth.— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) November 10, 2018
Back-to-back wins for Newcastle United as they move up to 14th in the Premier League.https://t.co/0Qc5uDwSnn #nufc #afcb pic.twitter.com/A69CTg1fuH
A report from Chronicle Live claims Newcastle want to keep hold of Rondon beyond this season, with West Brom interested in hearing what the Magpies hierarchy has to say.
The report claims that Rondon has settled at the club and sees his future on Tyneside, with the club agreeing - providing he continues to prove his fitness.
While the cost of any potential deal is yet to be negotiated, the financial situation facing the Baggies means they are 'desperate' to recoup a sizeable fee for a striker they paid Zenit St. Petersburg £12m for three years ago.
The 29-year-old, for the time being at least, seems to have his eyes on more immediate concerns, rather than his long-term future. He claimed after the weekend win over Bournemouth that getting three points each week is all that matters.
"We all just have to keep working and getting the three points. Beating Bournemouth was a great moment. Ultimately, the most important thing is we keep getting the three points and stay up."

Expectations. It's important to manage your expectation when checking out the features offered in the 2019 Toyota Camry. As a Toyota, of course, you'll expect the best from the flagship executive sedan in terms of safety. For technology, however, it's a bit on the edge of falling down from satisfactory. Let me explain.
Here's an in-depth review of the technology and safety features offered in the 2019 Toyota Camry.
Satisfactory tech features
In my general review, I loved the Camry in its entirety even with its flaws laid out. Part of those shortcomings is the tech features it offers, which are rather lacking compared to what's expected from its price point and class, and ultimately, things that you'll likely find in its competitors.
Don't get me wrong – this isn't a stone-aged Camry that we're looking at. Exterior-wise, it has great-looking LEDs with automatic headlamp leveler, while the side mirrors fold on its own when you lock the car. However, the daytime running lights are a bit odd; it would only engage when you set the headlights in auto, which means that you can ultimately turn it off.
As expected, several convenience features are found inside the Camry. It has auto brake hold, speed sensing door locks, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power-adjustable seats with memory function for the driver, three-zone climate control with rear controls, and auto up/down windows on all fours. While these are satisfactory in our books, there's one thing missing that's likely found even on entry-level cars: rear parking camera. You have rear parking sensors, nevertheless, but really? Well, I'm just as baffled.
The seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system is on the average, which isn't good and something that doesn't match the sultry interior amenities of the car. It has Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, but if you're an Android user, you'll have to settle with Bluetooth in playing your music in the car. It has a MirrorLink function, but it isn't as streamlined as expected. The interface isn't user-friendly, as well, but you'll get used to it in a matter of days.
Besides, with six high-fidelity speakers onboard, music listening is a pleasurable thing to do, especially during long drives. And oh, the Bluetooth can connect up to five smartphones, which means choosing the source of the music would be hassle-free. Handsfree phone call connectivity can also be shared with two phones.
Tough-to-beat safety offerings
I'll jump the gun and say that the Camry has the most number of safety features offered in its class, considering its price point. And it's not just the number – they are standard among the two variants, just in case you're going for the lower level G trim.
These safety features include seven airbags (driver, driver's knee, front passenger, two sides, and two curtains), ABS with EBD and brake assist, vehicle stability control, hill start assist, emergency brake signal, and seatbelt reminders for those sitting in the front. It also has an immobilizer and security alarm for security.
The V variant, on the other hand, gets a heads-up display. I'd classify this as a safety feature as you won't need to look down on your gauges in case you're monitoring your speed, which is a safe thing to do.

Chapter 487: Black-Clothed Man
Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
"Qianbei, us wanbei are both disciples of the Black Capital Sect. Please forgive us once," the black level man begged.
Black Capital Sect? Ye Mo felt that name was familiar. He remembered that after he killed Daoist Xian, he got a card that read "Black Capital". So, they were from Daoist Xian's Sect.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo was no longer in the mood to ask any more questions, so he just threw two fireballs casually.
After this, Ye Mo headed to the cold woman's place.
When Ye Mo arrived, he felt something wasn't right. The woman hadn't gotten there at all, which meant that she ran away as soon as he saved her.
Did she know that he wanted to look at the things she got last night? That was impossible. She didn't know who had brought her back last night. Ye Mo frowned, she was such a cunning woman. Ye Mo felt she had some enmity towards him, but he couldn't understand why.
Ye Mo shook his head and stopped thinking about it. The woman's power didn't pose any threat to him. Even if she got something related to immortal cultivation, without resources she was still no threat to him.
After a while, Ye Mo was sure that the woman wouldn't be coming back, so he left the hotel in disappointment.
When Ye Mo came back to the top floor of his hotel, he found Zhang Hua sitting there talking to Han Yan. The two saw Ye Mo arrive and both got up.
"Zhang Hua, why are you here?" Ye Mo asked strangely.
Zhang Hua quickly bowed, "Qianbei, I got the black rising pill and I know that if I didn't come here, I would have no place to go."
Ye Mo immediately understood. Zhang Hua was very smart to think of coming to his place. He knew that no one would dare to rob at his place.
Ye Mo nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay here." He didn't mind the youth borrowing his power.
"Ye-Qianbei, wanbei is a disciple of the Wu Dang Guang Yao Temple. My master has passed away, and wanbei is sure that people would be interested in my dao technique if I go back. So I have no place to go now. If Qianbei's sect needs disciples, wanbei is willing to join Qianbei's sect," Zhang Hua said respectfully.
So it was another lone wolf. Zhang Hua wasn't stupid. He knew he had caught everyone's attention. That smart young man was indeed a good seed. His Flowing Snake needed people like him. Thinking about this, Ye Mo said, "I don't have a sect, but I have a pharmaceutical company called Luo Yue. If you want to join, you can go to Flowing Snake. I'm not that much older than you, no need to call me 'Qianbei.'"
"Yes, Big Brother Ye, I'm willing to join Luo Yue. And I'm also skilled in making medicine," Zhang Hua immediately replied.
"Okay, in that case, you two can leave tomorrow. Zhang Hua to Flowing Snake, Han Yan, you can go back to Beijing. There will be things happening tomorrow, and I might not be able to take care of you guys. It's best for you guys to leave early," Ye Mo decided.
The next morning, Ye Mo sent Zhang Hua and Han Yan away before going back to the Broken Top Mountain. If it weren't for that spirit well, he wouldn't have even come back.
There were obviously less people now. Those sects that got the black rising pill probably left.
Ye Mo scanned the elders of Gourd Cave and didn't notice anyone missing. If the Gourd Cave didn't kill him first, they wouldn't dare attack Han Yan and the others.
Feng Wu walked on the stage and said, "Today is the last day of our hidden sects' tournament. Those who can compete today are the elite of their sects, geniuses amongst geniuses. Every one of them is our wealth, so I hope everyone can control themselves and stop appropriately. No need to cause unnecessary injuries. Okay, let the match begin!"
"Hold up," before Feng Wu got off, a sudden voice interrupted him.
Everyone looked at the person, wanting to know who he was.
A black-clothed man with a young man in his 20s approached him and walked straight to the stage.
The man saluted with his fists and said, "It's said that all the heroes of China are gathered here today. I wish to bring my disciple to compete as well to see if the Chinese masters aren't just pushovers."
Feng Wu frowned. If that person could walk there just like that, it meant that the people outside had all been beaten down.
It was no ordinary person, but why was he using that provocative tone?
Feng Wu couldn't believe everyone was as crazily strong as Ye Mo. Thinking about this, he rejected it, "I'm very sorry, but our tournament has limited spots, and today is the final match. If you want to watch, then please get off the stage, but if you're here to cause trouble then don't blame me," Feng Wu said.
The man kept saying, "you, Chinese people," which meant that he must not be Chinese.
"So, does this mean that the Chinese martial artists do not dare to accept our challenge?" the black-clothed man said.
"You came looking for trouble. What is your name? No matter which corner you came from, I, Feng Wu, will take the challenge," Feng Wu said coldly.
"Great, courageous! Where I'm from is not important. I heard that you only have 12 people left in your tournament. I only have one disciple. Your geniuses can take turns to fight him. If anyone beats my disciple, I'll admit defeat, but if all 12 are no match for my disciple, then my request is simple," the black-clothed man said as though he was going to win for sure.
Feng Wu's eyes narrowed, "Your disciple has no right to compete. Our spots in the tournament were already decided, but if you want, I can exchange some moves with you."
"You?" the black-clothed man looked at Feng Wu contemptuously and said, "You're no match for me. If you want to fight, that's fine, but I need a reward."
"Is this the request you were talking about?" Feng Wu said contemptuously.
The black-clothed man laughed, "That's right. This is my request: if I win, I get the four crystals."
"Keep dreaming!" Xiang Mingwang stood up abruptly.
The man's face didn't change at all, and he said slowly, "In that case, do you have no faith in beating me? Haha! China, the so called country of ancient martial arts heritage, doesn't even have the courage to fight me. What a joke!"
"Such an arrogant fool. I'll teach you a lesson today." Feng Wu was about to attack.
A middle-aged man suddenly jumped out and said, "Martial Brother, you don't need to deal with insects like him. Leave it to me."
Feng Wu saw it was Zheng Chao and immediately nodded.
Although his martial brother loved stealing the show, he was a good fighter indeed. Even he would need to put some effort to take him down. Thinking about this, he said, "Be careful."
Seeing this, the black-clothed man said to the young man, "Xihu, watch how master teaches people lessons."
"Yes, master." The young disciple got off the stage.
Zheng Chao sneered and grabbed the long sword from his back, "Coward who doesn't dare to tell us his origin, get ready."
Zheng Chao's sword chi covered the surroundings as he charged at the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man laughed pridefully, and two short blades appeared in his hand. Just when everyone was surprised by his weapon, the man's blades clashed with the long sword.
After crackles of sparks, the man's body twisted unbelievably and landed a shot on Zheng Chao's back.
Zheng Chao hadn't expected it and immediately spat blood, but before he could even fall on the ground, he was kicked off the stage.
Everybody at the scene fell into silence. An earth level tertiary master had been kicked off the stage? The black-clothed man was too strong.

RvP gives it to 'big mouth' rivals
Arsenal have come in for a lot of criticism this season; dumped out of all the cup competitions in a limp fashion and seemingly incapable of capitalising on Manchester United's stuttering league form, it seems that people are lining up to calling them a bunch of jelly-spined chokers. However Robin van Persie doesn't want to hear any of that. Oh no.
The Dutch striker, who has spent large chunks of the last few seasons out injured, has said that the Gunners have proved a point to their 'big mouth' rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, by being a little bit further up the league table than them. It does go to show that constantly flopping when the going gets tough can create a siege mentality about you.
'I still strongly believe in my club's philosophy,' van Persie said. 'A club like Manchester City change their philosophy every year and Chelsea spent about €80m this season ... two clubs who had a big mouth before the season, thinking that Arsenal wouldn't play a role in the title race but we are still ahead of them. And just by playing our own game, through our own philosophy.'

By the Numbers
Pelotonia 13
August 9-11, 2013
The four-year fundraising total for Pelotonia is more than $42 million.
From October 2011 to October 2012, the Pelotonia Fellowship Program awarded 45 fellowships to Ohio State students at all levels of scholarship and from multiple disciplines who have chosen to conduct cancer research in the labs of faculty mentors.
40 Idea Grants have been awarded in the past four years since the inception of Pelotonia.
Pelotonia funds have helped bring new laboratories on line in the Biomedical Research Tower and have supported the purchase of scientific instrumentation that is available to the more than 300 OSUCCC – James investigators.
100% of every dollar raised by Pelotonia and its riders will directly support essential and innovative cancer research at the OSUCCC – James.
Riders and donors in Pelotonia 12 raised a record $16.9 million, a 28% increase over the Pelotonia 11 total.
Pelotonia 12 drew a record 6,212 riders from 43 states and 3 countries, as well as 3,141 virtual riders and more than 2,000 volunteers. Measured by riders, Pelotonia last year became the largest single-event biking fundraiser in the nation.
Among the participants were a record 1,635 members of Team Buckeye, the official superpeloton of The Ohio State University – a team that included 1,198 riders, 336 virtual riders and 101 volunteers. Team Buckeye comprised 84 pelotons, whose members collectively raised more than $2.1 million of the Pelotonia 12 total.
Over the past four years, Pelotonia funding has created 223 student fellowship awards.

I was getting bored of running the same runs at what seemed to be the same speed, over and over again. The only time it seemed I was getting a break from running at a constant pace over a pre-determined distance was during my weekly track sessions. Furthermore, I was getting really bored of repeating the same circuit workouts every week. The time for change was on the horizon!
My situation led me to the wonderful worlds of YouTube and FloTrack. After reading training articles online and in various running and fitness magazines I decided that it might be an idea to make these workouts come to life by watching them in real time as opposed to seeing them in 2D on the screen or on paper. Below are 22 videos that I have used to improve my running technique, strength, speed and endurance. Not only this, using these videos has also allowed me to break free from the bonds of the monotonous, day-in-day-out, single pace run as well as the monotony of repeating the same circuit workouts week after week. Exploring new workouts really has injected some vim and vigour into my training!
Workouts to make you feel stronger!
Scott Thom – Best Ankle Strengthening Drill
First of all, this video is great! I love the passion that Scott clearly has for working out! All I'll say before you click 'Play' is – "CHEST BUMP"! On a serious note though, strong ankles are very important for a runner! They are nature's shock absorbers – by looking after them, you're looking after the rest of your legs too.
Runner Dude – "Pre-Hab" Ankle Strengthening Workout
Runner Dude has lots of workouts available to view, I just thought I'd post a second ankle strengthening workout as Scott Thom's is a little short and could become a bit repetitive. Runner Dude's "Pre-Hab" workout is more varied and gives you a few ideas to mix up your strengthening workouts.
Mark Broadbent – Knee Strengthening Exercise
It makes sense that you should strengthen your knees. One of the things non-runners ask me most is how does it feel on your knees after a week's worth of training or do your knees hurt all the time? The answer, for the most part, is no my knees don't hurt a lot. Occasionally, as with most runners, I will suffer some discomfort or pain in my knees but incorporating this simple routine into your schedule will reduce these instances!
I can't embed this video as Beth (Venom, from American Gladiator) has disabled the ability on her YouTube page. However, I highly recommend giving this workout a go and on a regular basis! The stronger your glutes, the more elasticity and power you can gain from your stride!
Sean Vigue – 20 Minute Killer Core Workout
Sean is not a runner but he sure knows how to improve core strength, watch this workout and incorporate it into your schedule once in a while! A strong core will help you to hold your form and posture when running long distances which will reduce pain and fatigue.
Workouts to help you run faster!
Ryan Hall – 12 Mile Tempo run
Ryan Hall is a don when it comes to dedication in training. Here he is running a beautiful 12 mile trail at tempo in preparation for the London 2012 Olympic Marathon. I thought it was a great idea to use a friend/cyclist as a pacer and it will be something I will be incorporating into my tempo workouts whenever I can! There's no hiding from the pace when you have someone riding out front! (It also means you have someone to carry your hydration and energy gels)
This is the video that first started me off on trawling around for workouts to mix it up! The video shows the Northern Arizona University Lumberjacks Men's Cross Country team undertaking Mile Repeats at 7,000ft elevation. You might not be able to mirror the altitude but it's easy enough to mirror the workout! Mile Repeats have become a staple of my weekly workout and they really do improve both endurance and pacing.
Washington Huskies – 4x1KM with 1x800m recovery in between
This workout is similar to the NAU Mile Repeats above, however, the recovery period and distance is set by the coach at 800m in no more than 2 minutes. This workout is being completed by the Huskie's Middle Distance track runners which is why the distance is shorter than the NAU repeats. Again, this workout will increase endurance and pacing but will also build up speed over time.
Hansons-Brooks – 4×2 Mile Session
Yes, more repeats! As Ryan Hall has said in his book 'Running with Joy', the runner's lifestyle can be boiled down to three words – "Repeat, repeat, and repeat." This workout varies from the two previous repeat workouts as the athletes are running at their race pace with six days to go before the event. The distance of the reps (2 miles) will definitely increase your endurance and because you will have to monitor your pace to stay at race level it will increase your understanding of this vital skill.
LetsRun.com – Fartlek Session (2mins fast/1min slow) in Iten, Kenya
Fartlek is a Swedish word meaning "speed play" and is intended to enhance conditioning and to increase speed and endurance. In this video we see a 50 minute session with participants running fast for 2 minutes with a 1 minute 'slow' recovery period for the duration of the session. Fartlek training can also increase explosive power as you change pace from slow to fast during the session.
David Warren – Sprint Drills & Plyometrics
Middle and Long distance running is certainly a far removed from sprinting events. However, it doesn't hurt to know that should you require it during a race, you have the ability to out kick your opponents in the final 400, 200 or 100m. By using plyometric training and sprint drills you can significantly increase your explosive power over short distances. [Warning: the music in this video contains expletives]
Workouts to improve your technique and to help avoid injury
Lauren Fleshman – Running Drills
This is a great video showing how to use drill sessions in your training. Lauren Fleshman explains the necessity and the benefit of each drill and gives a nice, simple demonstration. Incorporate these drills into your schedule and you'll really begin to notice positive changes in your running form, posture and flexibility!
Brad Jacobs (Newton Running) – B Kicks/B Steps technique workout
A video from Newton Running's 'Running Form Friday' series – I posted this one as I found that mastering this technique took me quite some time and I used this video to focus on what I needed to do. I recommend taking a look at all the 'Running Form Friday' series as they're really useful for improving your flexibility, and obviously, your form.
Eric Orton (Born to Run) – Running Technique Drills
A fairly lengthy video giving instruction on how to concentrate on your footfall to improve both cadence and speed whilst also massively reducing the risk of injury from improper foot placement. The video also explains the importance of stabilising your running pattern to maximise power from the glutes.
Dr. Mark Cucuzzella – Principles of Natural Running/Running Economy
This video is great for understanding how to improve your gait, stability and footfall whilst running at maximum speed. Dr. Cucuzzella explains the necessity behind running naturally and how using an economic stride improves overall speed, power and endurance whilst reducing the chance of injury. [Note: this video is filmed barefoot as it is easier to demonstrate the principles outlined in the video. It is not a 'barefoot' running promotional trailer]
Sage Canaday – Natural Running Form
Sage Canaday outlines how to obtain a more efficient and economical stride whilst running. As explained in the previous video an efficient, natural and economical stride will greatly improve power output and, amongst other things, reduce the possibility of injury.
Hill Running – how Champions are made!
Pete Magill (Running Times Magazine) – Five Kinds of Hill Workouts
A good explanatory video covering Long Hill Runs, Long Hill Repeats, Short Hill Repeats, Hill Springing & Bounding and Downhill Strides. All of these workouts are going to improve your speed on the flat and teach you how to conserve your energy on the uphill sections of races. Eventually you may even find that hills are the place to pass other runners. It's my opinion that champions are made on hills – increasing the pace on the incline and then maintaining it at the crest is a surefire way to put some distance between you and your rivals!
Jenny Hadfield – How to Run Hills (Making friends with hills)
I like the way Jenny Hadfield approaches her video coaching sessions, she really enthuses you to get out there and give it a go! In this video she tells us that hills invariably make you stronger – they improve leg, core and upper body strength and can make you an all round more powerful runner. There are some good technique tips on this one. Give it a watch and then get out there and get on those hills!
Steve Magness – 16x350m Hill Repeats with jog back recovery
As you saw in my earlier section around speed training, repetition is the key to success. The same goes for training on hills and learning how to run them properly. In this video we see an intense 16x350m hill repeat session with the runners using the return to the start as a recovery jog. You can mix this up a bit when you find your own training hill(s). For instance, sometimes I'll use every other downhill jog back as another repeat and aim to run down at a fair pace – this is so I can learn how to cope with running downhill during races.
Team BOSS Baltic – Seemingly endless hill reps in Iten, Kenya
There is no soundtrack and no voice over to this video. All you can hear is the footfall of the runners as they bound up and down a hill in Iten, Kenya. The video is nine minutes long, I haven't counted how many repeats they do in this time but the dedication of the athletes is clear! They're running hill repeats early in the morning and at altitude with no let up aside from a short jog back recovery – this is another aspect of hill training that I like, in my opinion it takes a lot of dedication to keep pounding away at a hill over and over and this can only serve to increase your mental strength during races.
In this video we see US mountain runner, Sage Canaday, attacking a 5km long hill run…at tempo! Again, what we're seeing here is dedication and mental fortitude to complete what is a grueling workout! The physical benefits of this kind of tempo run are a stronger core and stronger legs which will carry over onto the flat – imagine how much easier it will feel to run at tempo on the flat after attacking a long hill run in a similar fashion!

OSHA Violation Attorney and Workplace Safety Lawyer reviews Forklift Accident Injury & Fatalities at Workplace
Each year over 20,000 workers in the United States suffer serious injuries in forklift-related accidents. Forklifts, also known as lift trucks or fork trucks, are regularly used in many industries for lifting and lowering heavy pallets, boxes, crates and other containers. They are used in almost all storage warehouses and many other factory settings.
There are many types of powered industrial trucks, not only forklifts. Each type presents different operating hazards. Aside from serious injuries, around 85 fatalities per year occur from forklift-related accidents, the majority within manufacturing and construction industries.
Powered industrial trucks can be ridden by an operator or controlled by a walking operator. Workplace type and conditions are important factors in hazards associated with powered industrial trucks like forklifts. Employers have a duty to provide proper training and keep a safe workplace. Any safety practice that puts employees at risk is grounds for legal action.
Joe Lyon is an experienced Cincinnati, Ohio catastrophic injury and product liability lawyer accepting workplace accident cases nationwide.
Forklifts & Other Equipment Poses Workplace Risks
The most notoriously dangerous component to lift trucks is their instability. Fork trucks carry huge loads that have the potential to fall and cause injury and damage. An unstable and heavy load can fall from the truck, or may cause the entire forklift to tip.
Operators are advised to never attempt to make a turn with a raised load. These are many safety regulations that have been implemented by the OSHA, though these laws are often ignored by employers.
Industrial workers should know that they have rights under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The Act requires employers to fix common hazards and implement preventative regulations to avoid serious accidents. Employers of forklift operators have as much responsibility for safety as the operators themselves.
Warehouse owners must ensure the safety of each machine before operation, and are responsible for maintenance and replacing faulty machines. Employers cannot legally hire forklift operators who have not completed a certification program.
Note: It is a violation of the law for anyone UNDER 18 years of age to operate a forklift.
Common Forklift Accident Injury
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), over 10 percent of all forklifts will be involved in an accident. Around 70 percent of all forklift accidents could be prevented with proper training and enforced safety policies. Common causes of accidents include:
- Tip over accidents
- Overloading equipment
- Lift trucks inadvertently driven off loading docks
- Lifts fall between docks
- Lift struck by another lift truck
- Trucks fall while on elevated pallets
- Forklifts hit employees or pedestrians
- Load falls from forklift
- Forklift improperly used to elevate person
- Improper maintenance of the forklift
- Loss of fork lift operator control
The Lyon Firm works with industry experts, engineers, and OSHA safety experts to investigate and determine the root cause of forklift accidents to build a compelling case and win compensation for injured victims and their families.
Site-Specific Forklift Training
Employers have a responsibility to ensure that each forklift operator is competent and ready to operate a powered industrial truck safely. Training must include the specific conditions under which the vehicle will be operated, such as surface conditions, ramps, visibility, and employee traffic. These factors are different for every workplace.
Because forklifts are specialized vehicles, workers who operate forklifts must be certified by a training center that complies with OSHA standards. Those who obtain certification must pass a knowledge-based test as well as field testing. Forklift operators must be evaluated initially and every three years thereafter. Training and evaluations must be documented. Refresher training is necessary in the following situations:
- A forklift operator is observed operating unsafely
- A forklift operator receives an unsatisfactory evaluation
- An operator is assigned to a different area of use. Changes in workplace conditions affect familiar and safe operation
Forklift training must include both formal instruction and practical driver training. If training is incomplete, an employer is likely liable for any forklift-related injury caused and the damages that may result.
If you or a loved one has suffered a forklift accident injury, and have questions about the legal remedies available to improve quality of life and medical care in Ohio, contact The Lyon Firm at (800) 513-2403. You will speak directly with Mr. Lyon, and he will help you answer critical questions regarding forklift accident injury risks.

Cyber Security Degree Program Guide
Cyber Security is one of the fastest growing areas across multiple technology disciplines, including: IT, infrastructure, programming, and computer engineering. With so many business and countries being digitally based, with people and infrastructure being so dependent on technology, Cyber Security is quickly becoming one of the most important aspects of any business or country.
At Cyber Security Degrees.org, you can search the top cyber Security degrees online, with our review of dozens of different types of cyber Security degrees and careers reviewed online. Learn more about the cyber security industry, Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Cyber Security, and the best degrees to get into a cyber security career.
- Point Park University - Master of Arts in Intelligence and Global Security
- Utica College - BS in Fraud and Financial Crime Investigation, BS in Cybersecurity, MS in Cybersecurity
What You Could Study with Cyber Security
Students pursuing a cyber security degree will take many business and computer-related courses. Course topics may include cyber crime law and investigations, cyber security, introduction to criminal justice, threat of terrorism and crime, computer and network security, discrete mathematics, computer science, cyber law and ethics, information systems design, applied statistics and information technology, just to name just a few.
Cyber Security Degree Levels
Many cyber security programs require the student to complete an internship with a business to obtain hands-on training and real practical experience. Students pursuing master degree programs may also be required to complete thesis projects and participate in research projects.
What You Should Know Before Applying
Applicants to cyber security programs are required to satisfy certain admission requirements such as letters of recommendation, satisfactory scores on GRE and transcriptions from schools attended. Depending on the program or degree they're choosing, they may also have to already have an associate or bachelor's degree.
Cyber security at its broadest form is the field of protecting digital systems, software, and databases from unwanted or malicious criminal activity.
Cyber criminals attempt to intrude on digital information, which can cause irreparable harm to individuals and companies. It is important for network security engineers to combat cyber criminals with preparation, minimizing loopholes, hooks, and exploits that criminals use as an "in" to any network. Cyber security engineers engage in preventative measures to secure systems.
Top Cyber Security Degree Programs
Here are the most popular cyber security degree specialties to learn more about that particular program.
Cyber Security Degrees
Internet Security
Other Security Degrees
Reasons for Expectations for an Increase in Cyber Security
In the wake of numerous massive data breaches on the infrastructures of large companies such as Sony, Target, and Home Depot, cyber security is definitely a hot topic right now – as it should be. It is encouraging for the industry, and more and more companies are needing experts in cyber security to help protect their data and networks.
According to Forbes business magazine, the United States government (who is tripling its cyber security staff in government positions) has implemented a number of scholarship programs for US citizens only. One such program is called Cyber Cops, but it has been largely unsuccessful, mainly because of the stipulation that those granted scholarships must be US citizens. As a whole, 70% of all computer science graduates at the Master's level are foreigners and thus do not qualify.
In short, the US government is in desperate need of cyber security professionals. As a result, there is no better time to get into cyber security, network security, or a related digital security field.
How to Become a Cyber Security Engineer
Becoming a cyber security specialist/engineer generally requires a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in this or a similar field, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Although an individual may be hired with just a postsecondary certificate, a bachelor's degree is the most common for this career path. The bachelor's degree can generally be earned in four years while the master's degree may take an additional one to two years. This may vary if the student already has some education in that area of study. A postsecondary certificate can be completed in about a year, but the candidate must already have a bachelor's degree, preferably in a related field such as computer science or computer programming. Students also will be required to complete general education courses whether they choose a bachelor's or master's degree program. A real popular choice for this career is a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in cyber or Internet security.
U.S. Government Initiatives for Cyber Security Education
Former President Obama and the White House stated that cyber security is "…one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation, but one that we as a government or as a country are not adequately prepared to counter…". In one of his State of the Union addresses, former President Barack Obama outlined his goals for cyber security reform in his Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, including information sharing, counterintelligence, and expanding the education of cyber security especially within the federal government.
With the backing of the federal government, the cyber security industry is expected to grow at a rapid pace. Market analysts anticipate (source) the cyber security industry market capitalization (source) to grow from around $65 billion in 2015 to around $150 billion by 2020 (source).
Below, former President Obama speaks about the state of cyber security and the efforts the US needs to make to ward off intruders.
Online Cyber Security Degrees
Cyber security students can also choose from different concentrations, for instance a bachelor's degree in cyber security with a concentration in cyber crime investigations and forensics or a concentration in information assurance. Although very similar, the cyber crime investigations and forensics concentration focuses on teaching students how to gather evidence to help prosecute cyber criminals in cases like credit card theft, hacking or terrorism, among others. The information assurance concentration, on the other hand, focuses more on how to prevent network invasions and how to identify possible security breaches. A forensic concentration may also prepare the student for careers in law enforcement.
Cyber Security Degree Types
As Internet use steadily grows and computers continue to be such an important part of society, cyber crimes and attacks also continue to be a big problem in the world. This growing problem makes cyber security extremely important. Individuals interested in careers in these challenging careers have many options available in terms of cyber security degrees. Learn what it takes to earn a cyber security degree and what type of career opportunities may be possible.
U.S. News and World Report states that almost fifty percent of U.S. adults were victims of cyber attacks between May 2013 and May 2014, increasing the need for more cyber security professionals to increase Internet security. They also indicated that there are various schools offering online bachelor and master degree programs that focus on cyber security.
Online programs offer students the opportunity to earn their degrees while continuing to work and meet their other obligations. An accelerated cyber security baccalaureate program is an online program available for students who hold an associate degree. Specific coursework typically includes security principles, network security, introduction to Unix/Linux operating system and human factors in cyber security.
Cyber Security Training & Certifications
In addition to completing the required courses and internships, cyber security graduates may choose to obtain certifications. Although certification may not be a requirement for employment, it can really enhance a resume and increase career opportunities. Some certifications can be obtained through software vendors, and others may be offered through schools or with other agencies. For instance, the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, Inc. (ISC)² offers the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification, which focuses on areas like cryptography, operations security, telecommunications and network security, software development security and physical security, among others.
Other organizations that offer certifications include CompTIA, Cisco, CERT, Certified Wireless Network Professional and Global Information Assurance Certification.
What is Cyber Security? A Video Summary
The below video does an excellent job of quickly explaining cyber security.
Careers in Cyber Security
Cyber security degrees offer graduates various career opportunities. The most common careers include information security analysts, network and computer systems administrators, and cyber security software engineers. In the same way that career choices vary, so do the possible salaries. The BLS reports that information security analysts earned an average annual wage of $88,590 as of May 2013 while network and computer systems administrators earned $74,000 that same year. The BLS also reports that information security analysts could see an employment growth of thirty-seven percent between 2012 and 2022, and network and computer systems administrators could expect a seventeen percent growth in employment during that same decade.

Fiat documents seem to support rumors of a new model slotted between the standard Fiat 500 and the Abarth. The company's filing with the NHTSA and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) indicate a plan to present a 500T Sport for the 2013 model year. Just in case you were wondering, the T in 500T stands for "turbo."
This new model is equipped with a weaker version of the U.S.-spec Abarth's 160-horse turbo four. The chart that Fiat submitted to the NHTSA provided information on how to decode VIN numbers. It shows that a "500T Sport" is listed under Fiat's 2013-model-year offerings. Fiat listed the trim levels for the base 500 as Pop, Sport, and Lounge.
However, the 500T Sport is listed separately from those and is set apart from the 500C convertible models. It also marks the first time that an Abarth is listed among the convertibles. This isn't too surprising as there really is such a car but Fiat hasn't confirmed its arrival to the U.S. yet. The introduction of the 500T is supported with CARB paperwork shown last month. Every engine that will be offered for sale in California gets its own certification even if it will be fitted in numerous vehicles.
California had certified a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine to be used in several Dodge Dart models, the Fiat 500 Abarth, as well as another Fiat 500. For now, the Abarth is the lone 500 to feature a turbo 1.4.
However, this engine is exactly what is expected to be placed in the 500T Sport. This isn't the first time that Fiat uses this strategy. The 500 Abarth offered in Europe delivers only 133 hp in regular trim but the Esseesse or "SS" kits deliver more power. This likely means that the 500T has an output of around 130hp.
In the 1960s, Karl Abarth's cars were called "small but wicked." It's with this same bravado that the new 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth reaches the US with its successful racing traditions on European roads and raceways that include superlative precision and performance, purposed and strong styling, high power-to-weight ratio, and limited-production.
Leveraging the excitement from the new 2012 Fiat 500 (Cinquecento), the Fiat 500 Abarth is engineered for track-day aficionados and driving traditionalists wanting the best high-performance small car with a high-class Italian exotic pedigree.
Complete with a completely new 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo engine, Abarth-tuned suspension and brake systems, race-inspired design, and technology not normally found in a small car, the 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth releases the brand's famous performance legacy to the streets of the USA.
The new 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth's strong styling embraces the Abarth brand's fully purposed and functional details designed to increase performance and enhance the sleek, unpretentious Cinquecento design language.
The exterior of the 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth's design embodies the pure essentials of Italian performance: purposed function and increased emotion design augmentations, blended stylishly to better aerodynamics, engine cooling, and road grip. The driver is enclosed in an athletic and high tech looking cockpit, full of performance equipment and select details, making the 500 Abarth a top-class machine.

Well, after months and months of preparation upgrades on the boat and weeks of 20 hour days getting ready, we finally departed the dock and Nyack Boat Club at 3:02 pm (1502) and shut the engine off 7 minutes later as we sailed away with a brisk 7 to 10 knot wind out of the WSW. We hoisted all three sails and had a lovely sail down the Hudson with the current and were making 7.5 to 8.5 knots over ground! We are anchored near Alpine (just north of the George Washington Bridge.)
Now that things have calmed down a bit, we will be blogging more often, as cell phone modem allows. We are on our way to Annapolis to the boat show and we also want to see the start of the Great Chesapeake Schooner Race.
Near the end of October, we will join a group of other folks on sailboats in Hampton, VA and on November 1 or thereabouts, we will depart with a group for the Bahamas and some others will depart for Tortola, BVI.

Easy Places
- Version:
1.0.6 (10/15/2019)
- PrestaShop Compatibility:
v184.108.40.206 -> v1.7.6.x
- Translations:
Don't let your customers type their addresses no more
Our Easy Places module helps you increase your transformation rate by simplifying the order creation process, by providing a feature that automatically enters the account creation or order addresses.
« OK, but why I need this ? »
When a new customer wants to place an order on your shop, you have to ask them for their delivery and invoicing address. Your customers find this compulsory and repetitive step annoying and frustrating. Some customers give up and go to another site where they know they have already entered all their information. What is more, shipping errors caused by customers entering their addresses incorrectly are not uncommon, entailing additional transport costs and decreased customer satisfaction owing to the delays caused by their parcels being sent out and returned again.
Easy Places is the ultimate solution for avoiding such problems !
It allows you to offer your clients an elegant, high performance technical solution to make your account creation forms more pleasant to fill in.
Features :
- Autofilling of address forms (2 address lines, state, post code, town and country) from one or several key-words
- Uses Algolia technology (which mean FAST !!!)
- Uses OpenStreetMap and Geonames address databases.
If the idea of having one address entry form gives you goose bumps, then you obviously need to offer the Easy Places solution to your customers :-)
Easy Places uses the Algolia Places service, which allows you to make 1000 queries per day, free of charge.

International research on vegetable improvement in East and Southern Africa: Adoption, impact and returns
This study analyzes the adoption of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum) varieties developed through international agricultural research, released by national agricultural research and extension systems (NARES) and supplied to farmers by private seed companies in East and Southern Africa from 1990 to 2015. We found that 50% of tomato and 98% of African eggplant commercial seed production in the region were varieties developed by the World Vegetable Center. WorldVeg and NARES invested US$ 6.9 million in research, extension, and promotion of these two crops. This generated economic gains of US$ 254 million for tomato and US$ 5 million for African eggplant in Tanzania up to 2014. The internal rate of return is 29.3% for tomato and 12.3% for African eggplant, though we project the latter to increase to 26.0% by 2024 as adoption only started in 2007. These results indicate international research into vegetable improvement to give returns to investment that are as high as those previously reported for some staple crops.
