Disputes with Neighbors
Neighbor Dispute Lawyers in San Francisco California Bay Area
Though you may be able to find the exact property you are looking for, you cannot choose your neighbors. Disputes with neighbors are a reality when living in an urban or suburban area. Having an attorney guide you through these disputes from the beginning until the end will maximize your chances of winning.
Some of the most common disputes involve:
- Nuisance: A nuisance is defined as an act, or condition, on a party's land that substantially and unreasonably interferes with another party's use and enjoyment of their land. Your neighbor may interfere with your use and enjoyment of your property by causing smells, sounds, light or pollution to originating at his or her property which crosses onto your property. This can be stopped through an injunction (a court order requiring the offending party to stop doing something), or damages in certain cases.
- Easements, Restrictive Covenants and Equitable Servitudes: An easement is a right to use another person's land for a specific purpose. Easements can be formed by express agreement, implication, necessity or past use. Restrictive covenants and equitable servitudes are agreements, promises, or deed provisions that can bind a subsequent owner of land to usage rights that came long before that person purchased the property in question. Owners of real property often look unfavorably on other parties using their land and this often leads to disputes over the existence and scope of the easement, restrictive covenant or equitable servitude.
- Boundary Disputes: Land disputes often involve arguments over boundaries; specifically, where one owner's property ends and another's begins. Sometimes mistakes regarding these boundaries results in one party using and sometimes building on land that they believe belongs to them. Under certain circumstances, a person can acquire the right to use the land of another for a particular purpose, or even obtain ownership of such land through the doctrine of adverse possession.
- Trespass: Unlawful entry onto the land of another is trespassing. Pure trespass disputes are rare and allegations of trespassing typically arise out of an existing dispute about nuisance, easements, or boundary.
Neighbor disputes though seemingly straightforward often trigger land right issues established by common law over the past several hundred years. This common law is frequently confusing, contradictory, and counter-intuitive, because much of it has developed when people did not live so close together and did not put land to such varied and ever changing uses.

As the business is growing and becoming more dynamics, couple with high rate of organizational changes and technological breakthrough a lot organizations are forced to continuously reengineer in order to compete both internally and externally (Kotter, J.P., 1996; Henriques, et. al., 2010). The need for innovation and strong external force are serious threat and challenge for healthcare systems. Subsequently, healthcare organization need to overcome these challenges by eliminating non-value added transactions, eliminate or reduces waiting time by implementing new technological services (Christensen, et. al., 2009; Kaplan & Porter, 2011)
Literatures have shown how implementation of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) help many organizations achieved dramatic breakthrough performance in terms of saving cost, quality and services. Popular example is Motorola, when faced with the challenge of high rate of defect percentage and longer cycles times, decide to totally redesign its parts and tooling process, and at the same time upgrading manufacturing facilities. This BPR process was also able to cut the production cost by one billion US Dollars per year (US$1) and cut cycle time by half. Hallmark also achieved 75% decrease in introduction time on cards (C Ranganathan & Jasbir S., 2001)
Meanwhile, a survey conducted by a D. Little consulting firm indicated that 85% of the top management of an organization were not happy or satisfied with the outcome of the reengineering project (Kleiner A., 2000). This is in line with the series of research conducted in the early 90s which indicated that 70% of the reengineering programs had only delivered less than what they are expected to do otherwise had fails (Grover, V., 1999)
Therefore, even though a lot of organizations embraced the concept of this BPR programs, only few of them immerge successful in their effort. Study indicates that many top management of organizations are disappointed with the result of the program (Moad. J., 1993). And that the failure rates are as high as 70%9. The initiation and diffusion of the BPR like most of the management concept follows S-shaped curve. When this concept was first introduced in early 90s there was an overwhelming success and large scale acceptance. After spate of failures and difficult nature in implementation, the initiatives become serious challenges to both the researchers and practitioners (Rao et. al., 2012)
This high rates of failures prompted researchers in that field to view the concept of BPR as a passing management short-lived fashion. Some of the earlier approach of the programme is changing and the researchers are now looking PBR as not only process change but overall organizational change (Rao, et. al.,2009).
The reasons behind this many failures have been discussed by so many researchers, and number of reasons have been provided as to why these previous success is no more releasable. Among the factors deliberated is focusing on only the steps in the business process and giving little emphasis to the environment within which the reengineering program is taking place9. This situation makes it difficult for the BPR team to visualize certain knowledge available in the organization where the program is taking place. The second reason discussed was lack of appropriate tools for proper modeling and integration among the various enterprise elements of the business process of an organization undergoing BPR. Even though there are so many available tools for modeling but so many of them only support diagrammatic modeling only (Vergidis, et. al., 2008).

To the Editor:
On Nov. 7 you will be asked to renew the operational millage for the Otsego County Sportplex. This is a great facility used by many people from all parts of Otsego County. I have been involved with the hockey side of this facility ever since it was opened. There are residents from all four corners of the county at the Sportsplex at any given time. It is not unusual to have a child from Lakes of the North playing on a team that also has children from Johannesburg and Vanderbilt on it.
Many people feel that the Sportsplex is used for the sole purpose of people who live in Gaylord. This simply isn't true. This facility is for anyone who lives in the county. During open skate you may have a person from Sparr skating with someone from Guthrie Lakes. Many tourists take advantage of the Sportsplex when they are here. There is a nominal fee for out of county residence.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
Snuffers; Snuffdishes:
snuf'-erz, snuf'-dish-ez (melqachayim, machtoth): These two utensils are thrice mentioned in connection with the wilderness tabernacle (Ex 25:38; 37:23; Nu 4:9). the American Standard Revised Version prefers to read "snuffers and snuffdishes" in place of "tongs and snuffdishes" (compare 2Ch 4:22), the connection between the two utensils being indicated by the fact that both are said to belong to the seven lamps, and were to be made out of the talent of gold which was specified as the weight of the whole (Ex 25:37-39).
The seven-branched candlestick which stood in the holy place of both tabernacle and temple was surmounted, in each of its arms, by a removable lamp in which olive oil was burnt. From the requirement of keeping these lights brilliantly burning throughout each night of the year, arose the need for snuffers and snuffdishes. By the former, the burnt portions of the wick were removed; in the latter they were deposited previous to removal. The lamps may have required to be trimmed as often as every half-hour. For this purpose a priest would enter the outer chamber "accomplishing the services" (Heb 9:6).
In the time of Solomon's Temple another word than melqachayim was used to describe this utensil. It is mezammeroth, from a verb meaning "to prune" or "trim," and is found in 1Ki 7:50; 2Ki 12:13; 25:14; 2Ch 4:22; Jer 52:18. In 4 of these passages, the English text reads, "the snuffers and the basins"; the 5th is merely a summary of things taken to Babylon (2Ki 25:14). In this constant later association of "basins" and "snuffers" it is seen that the basins referred to were used for the reception of the cast-off portions of the wicks of the seven lamps, and took the place of the snuffdishes of an earlier age.

Most of my students got a dog (a rescue or a new puppy!), had a few weeks of wonderfulness (the honeymoon phase), and then….behaviors started showing up that were annoying. I usually hear that the problem started out slow – that it wasn't a big deal initially. And some of them heard the myth about "they'll outgrow it " but…they didn't. They actually grew INTO it, and the behavior escalated in frequency and intensity. That's when things got real – as in "real bad".
At that point, they attempted to use techniques that they remembered from when they had a dog as a kid, or maybe they got some advice from well-meaning friends or family. A few decided to take the bull by the horns and read a dog training book or two. Eventually, things moved beyond tolerable, and they started looking for a dog trainer, and that's when they found me. And after about 7 minutes of working with me, they quickly realized that they were, whether they liked it or not, going to have to get some dog training skills if this relationship was going to work out. The good news for them is that with me on their team, they're going to get what they need.
Three ways to live with a dog: damage control, management, training.
Damage control – This is when you are constantly putting out "fire."
Management – is not training!
There's a difference:
When you buy/adopt a new dog – have tools you need ready.
You control the environment the dog has access to – and you control the dog within the environment.
Obedience training is following commands.
Doesn't have to be fully trained before you can control him through good management.
My dogs aren't allowed to be free in the house until we are 110% sure they are calm and well-mannered in the home. This varies from dog to dog. Our 11-year-old female border collie Trigger was able to be off-leash at 6 months of age, while my rat terrier was not loose in the house until she was 3 years old.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach because every dog is different: some dogs are very compliant, while others will fight you tooth and nail.
Management – tether, exercise pen, crate
Under no circumstance is a good management program all that our dogs need to produce good behavior. It goes without saying that our dogs need exercise and they also need to have their minds exercised. That's why they thrive on good training.
We encourage people to find some dog sport or activity that they can do with their dog. Obedience training is a good start, but this can also include hunting, nose work, agility, etc.
If you are new to dog training, have a look at nosework. Every dog of every breed can do nosework. It is something you can do in your basement, your garage, or on your patio.
Remember, your dog can sleep in a dog crate, be confined to ex-pens and kennels all day, and generally be well-managed, but still have behavioral issues. That's because the dog is not getting enough exercise and mental stimulation.
Tips for Management
The reality is that your training is either getting better or getting worse. It gets better because you enforce your rules and your aware what your dog is doing at all times, or it gets worse because you aren't working on it
I raise all my puppies the same, and I want to share with you the big picture of what I feel is important about raising and training a puppy. This should also give you the overall picture of the life of a dog living with Kathy Santo.
•First thing that happens is a trip to the potty area!
•Using the puppy's breakfast, I spend 15-20 minutes teaching impulse control games, and basic commands.
•When I'm making or eating breakfast, or at the computer, I'll praise and reward the puppy for being quiet, and for laying on his bed in his xpen.
•At random points in the morning, the puppy goes back in his crate for 30-45 minutes. He'll also get supervised free time, a short walk, many potty trips (!), and a few short training sessions.

article outtakes include:
"Henrico's Board of Supervisors should implement some of the land-purchasing strategies recommended by an independent commission earlier this month, but other suggestions might not make sense, County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the board and School Board during a work session Feb. 12.
The five-member commission, established last July, issued a 543-page report earlier this month and cited a number of occasions on which the county paid more than twice the appraised value for land parcels during a five-year period.
Hazelett concurred with the commission's recommendation that the county make more prominent to landowners its ability to use eminent domain to acquire property if necessary. He also agreed that entering into land option or right of first refusal agreements – as the committee suggested – could prove beneficial as a way to prevent speculative buyers from purchasing the land first, then reselling it to the county for a huge profit.
"These are two tools that we could add to our toolbox," Hazelett said.
The board agreed to proceed with the creation of a resolution that would empower Hazelett and Henrico Public Schools Superintendent Fred Morton to enter into land option agreements without first receiving approval from the Board of Supervisors or School Board. Such authority, Hazelett said, would allow for quicker action on land viewed as desirable by the county. Currently, the Board of Supervisors must approve land option agreements on a case by case basis."
.....text excerpted to feature the following content.....
"Hazelett told the two boards that eminent domain "should only be used judiciously" and as "a tool of last resort." But, he said that he expected more cases of eminent domain in the coming years, "simply because of the lack of [available] land."
Hazelett disagreed with the commission's recommendation that the county hire its own certified appraiser to examine future appraisals acquired by the county and those submitted by landowners. He said he would prefer to hire an outside appraiser to fill such a duty, in order to eliminate any perceived conflict of interest."

About Alexandria
Twelve miles south of Cincinnati along U.S. 27, in the heart of Campbell County, is Alexandria. Named after Alexandria, Virginia, the home of its first settlers, the town was laid out in the early part of 19th century, but was not incorporated until 1856. Alexandria has been the county seat of Campbell County since 1840. There are 8,500 residents.
The small town atmosphere is still evident in Alexandria. With its easy access to major highways and vast undeveloped land, however, the city is destined to become a center of significant residential growth. With U.S. 27 intersecting I-471 just north of the city, and the AA Highway crossing the southern tip of Campbell County, Alexandria is one of the "new" focal points in Campbell County and is charting a steady growth pattern. Homes in and around Alexandria vary in style and price. Prospective buyers will find an impressive selection of modest subdivision homes, stately homes and more elaborate custom homes from which to choose. Many new developments are proof positive Alexandria is the fastest growing market in Campbell County.
Public transportation is provided by the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK). US 27, I-471, the AA Highway and several state highways provide quick access from Alexandria to Cincinnati and Kenton, Boone, Pendleton and Bracken Counties, and the southern parts of Campbell County. It takes just 30 short minutes to drive to downtown Cincinnati, Ohio or the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky International Airport.
St. Elizabeth Hospital East is located in Fort Thomas. Nearby hospitals include St. Elizabeth Medical Center-North, St. Elizabeth Medical Center-South and St. Elizabeth West in Florence. Several doctors have offices in the city. Emergency medical service (EMS) is available.
Major shopping centers and malls are within a 20-minute drive. Alexandria, a farming community for many years, still has farm supply stores as well as several stores to serve the needs of the city farmer. Village Green Shopping Center offers a wide variety of shopping opportunities from WalMart to many smaller retailers. Established convenience stores and local chain stores are located in the city or nearby.
Alexandria Community Park has over 80 acres that were originally part of the Alexandria Reservoir. A walking trail circles the nine-acre fishing lake. This park features baseball fields, basketball courts, play area as well as miles of paved walking trails. This park hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt, Fishing Derby, Halloween Haunted Walk and a Christmas Tree Lighting. Tribute Park is a small area that pays homage to all who serve our country – from armed services to the police, firefighters and EMS teams. There are commemorative bricks in this park that serve as personal tributes.
Alexandria has tennis and track facilities available through the public schools. Six miles from the city is a county park offering fishing, golfing, camping, picnicking and swimming. The nearby Ohio and Licking Rivers also offer water activities. Sports are plentiful and amateur softball and soccer games can be seen all summer.
The Alexandria Community Center offers fitness classes as well as other programs. Many residents enjoy a walking membership at the center.

China's leaders are creating what they seek to avoid—a coordinated resistanceby Mark Kitto / August 25, 2013 / Leave a comment
Published in September 2013 issue of Prospect Magazine
Mark Kitto and his family camp in Moyu County, Xinjiang. (© Mark Kitto)
After prayers on Friday 28th June, in the village of Hanerik , Hetian Prefecture, in the southern half of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China, there was a civil disturbance. Due to the absence of independent witnesses, it is difficult to know what caused the disturbance and how it developed, but as it happened immediately after prayers it is likely that resentment of official interference in local religious affairs caused a number of young men to express their anger in public.
The native ethnic population of Xinjiang, who make up 40 per cent of the total, are Uighurs; a Turkic, Muslim people. They live mostly in the Tarim Basin, in the southern half of the region, and in the capital, Ürümqi. Since the 19th century, but particularly over recent decades, the Chinese government has encouraged mass migration to Xinjiang of ethnic Han Chinese from the northeast of the country. Han migrants are given free housing, incentives to start businesses, jobs in lucrative industries such as oil and energy, and access to good schools, among other benefits.
The influx of Han, and the perceived smothering of Uighur traditional society, has caused resentment among the Uighurs, which sometimes manifests itself in violence and attracts international attention. The worst case to date was in July 2009, when Uighurs went on the rampage in Ürümqi and killed approximately 200 Han Chinese residents. This year there were incidents in Bachu on 24th April, Turfan on 26th June and Hetian on 28th June.
Uighur mud-walled towns have been replaced with tower blocks. Every urban centre has a Han zone on its edge, many of which are growing so fast they dominate the…

Variables and Data A variable contains data about anything we measure. For example; age or gender of the participants or their score on a test.
- Spencer Fields

1 The Analysis of Research Data The design of any project will determine what sort of statistical tests you should perform on your data and how successful the data analysis will be. For example if you decide to interview five students, using an unstructured interview technique, to ask what they feel about a particular thing or you decide to observe four people in a particular setting it would be very difficult to obtain numerical data from the observation or from the unstructured interviews it would be better to use qualitative data analysis techniques. In the reverse if you are collecting data from 2000 patients using results from laboratory tests or data using questionnaires (which produce numerical data), it would be very difficult to report your findings in a descriptive manner using verbal quotations. It would be better to use statistical data analysis methods. However, you can use a mixture of the two methods. For example, using questionnaires that give the respondents the opportunity to make comments or describe their experiences as well as responding to questions from a fixed set of answers. Variables and Data A variable contains data about anything we measure. For example; age or gender of the participants or their score on a test. Variables can contain two different types of data; categorical data and continuous data. Categorical data Categorical data is a measure of type rather than amount and can be broken down into nominal data and ordinal data. Nominal data is data that is assigned to categories or labelled e.g. male / female, or a long string of data where the number is randomly assigned. E.g. post code, nationality, television channels etc. The categories or labels cannot be ordered or ranked and are not related to each other. Ordinal data is data where numbers have been used to put objects in an order. It is categorised in a fixed, specific order and we can only say one thing is more or less than something else on the scale. For example, income band rating scales where someone on the lowest band earns less than someone on the highest. Although the data can be ranked in order it does not imply that they are at equal intervals between categories e.g. the different between the lowest and the middle scale may not be the same as the difference between the middle scale and the highest scale. Continuous data Continuous data is numerical data with equal intervals between the data e.g. the distances between the scores is the same. Continuous data can be further broken down into interval and ratio data Interval data is when the differences on each point of the scale is the same, however, 0 is a marker on a scale rather than a true zero e.g. temperature 0oC does not imply there no temperature at all! (absolute 0)
2 Ratio data is when the data has a true 0 e.g. number of children 0 = no children. Other examples of ratio data include time, height, levels of anxiety. Level of Property measurement Categories Ranks Equal intervals True zero point Nominal Yes No No No Ordinal Yes Yes No No Interval Yes Yes Yes No Ratio Yes Yes Yes Yes How to Analyse Your Data 1. Descriptive Statistics Descriptive statistics allow the researcher to; Get an overview of the data Check for any missing data Look at the range of answers or data they have collected Identify unusual cases and extreme values Identify obverse errors in the data Types of tests that can be used on different data types Nominal data Frequency tables Bar charts Pie charts Percentages Ordinal data Frequency tables Percentages Bar charts Median Interval or Ratio data Histograms Mean Median If data is missing; 1 st check if the data was missed when entering the data onto the database. If the data was not collected you have several options; You can delete the case from any further analysis either, just for the variables where the data is missing or delete the case completely. If a lot of the data for one patient is missing (e.g. about 20%) it may be best to delete the case completely to avoid this case effecting your overall results. You can put in the mean value for that case ( see measures of central tendency). Use the fact that the data is missing as a finding in itself. For example, the percentage of blood tests not taken. If there is an outlier (E.g. a person scoring much higher than everyone else. This outlier may affect your findings and it may help to delete outliers from your analysis. Always sate what you have done to the data to address these issues when writing up your findings. Checking for normality One of the criteria for using some statistical tests (parametric tests, such as t-tests) is that the data in your variables is normally distributed. To check if your data is normally distributed you can either; Look at the skewness and kurtosis values. Skewness measures the degree to which cases are clustered towards one end of the distribution. Kurtosis measures the peakedness of a distribution. The closer the values are to 0 the more likely they are normally distributed, scores of 5 or more indicate skewed data.
3 Calculate the z scores for the data: The Z score computes a standardised score, which indicates how many standard deviations above or below the sample mean your score is. This is calculated by- Z score = Case score sample mean Standard deviation Look at the histograms for each variable, the data should ideally look like this; If your data is only slightly skewed away from a normal distribution you can use transformation procedures (it may help to see a statistician for this) or you should use statistical tests (non-parametric tests) that do not require a normal distribution. Measures of Central Tendency Describing the pattern of your data can help you to understand what it means. This can be done by calculating a measure of central tendency, either the mean, median and / or mode Mean The mean is the average value of the data in a variable i.e. the sum of all the cases divided by the total number of cases. This is the best measure to use if your scores have a normal distribution. Median This is the middle score (50 th percentile). If that data was split in half in numeric order this would be the mid point score. This is a useful measure when the data is skewed i.e. there are a high number of low scores. The group or number that occurs most frequently. Measures of dispersion Measures of dispersion are statistics designed to describe the spread of scores around a measure of central tendency Minimum and Maximum The lowest (smallest) and the highest (largest) values. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum values. Variance An overall measure of how clustered the data values are around the mean. The variance has the disadvantage of being the wrong units as it is the mean squared difference between each score and the mean of those scores.
4 Standard deviation The standard deviation takes all the observed values into account and is the square root of the variant. This restores the variant back into its original units. Appropriate measures of dispersion for each type of data Nominal data None Ordinal data Minimum Maximum (range) Variance Standard Deviation Scale data Minimum Maximum (range) Variance Standard Deviation You can use frequencies to describe your sample e.g. number or percentage of males and females when writing up you findings. It also helps to use the measure of central tendency and dispersion to further describe your sample e.g. mean and standard deviation of age and length of illness. 2. Inferential Statistics Inferential statistics look at whether there are any relationships or differences between variables that are genuine and not due to chance. Analysing combinations of categorical and continuous data There are two types of statistical tests that can be used to analyse data. These are the parametric tests and the non-parametric tests. Parametric tests are performed on data that is normally distributed and non-parametric tests are performed data that do not conform to a normal distribution. Choosing which statistical test to use; Think about whether you are looking for a difference, a relationship, a pattern between variables, predict an outcome or to test the robustness of a scale. Then look at which test would best suit your data depending on its type e.g. interval data, whether the data is from the same group of participants such as data pre and post intervention (related samples) or different groups such as patient and nurse groups (unrelated samples). Tests of Difference between two groups Interval Data Related Samples Related samples t-test Unrelated Samples - Unrelated samples t-test Ordinal Data Related Samples Wilcoxon test Unrelated Samples Use a Mann Whitney U test Nominal Data Related Samples McNemar change test Unrelated Samples - Chi-squared test Tests of Difference between more than two groups Interval Data Related Samples Repeated Measures ANOVA Unrelated Samples - One-way ANOVA If there are two or more variables in both groups use a MANOVA Ordinal Data Related Samples Freidman Unrelated Samples - Kruskall-Wallis
5 Nominal Data Use a complex chi-square Information Sheet 5 Relationships between variables e.g. job satisfaction and productivity Interval Data Pearson s product moment coreelation co-efficient Ordinal Data Spearman rank correlation co-efficient Nominal Data Phi co-efficient Predicting an outcome e.g. predicting quality of life from levels of pain If you have one interval predictor variable and one interval outcome variable = Simple regression If you have more than one interval/ordinal/nominal predictor variable and one interval level outcome variable = Multiple regression If you have more than one interval, ordinal or nominal predictor variables and one nominal or ordinal level outcome variable = Logistic regression If you have more than two interval level predictor variables and a ordinal or nominal outcome variable = Discriminant function analysis Testing the robustness of a scale. To examine correlations between scales and produce a reliability co-efficient = Alpha reliability analysis To check the underlying factor structure of a scale in comparison to its established factor structure = Confirmatory factor analysis To check the underlying factor structure of a scale If the underlying factor structure of a scale is unknown = Exploratory factor analysis Significance The majority of statistical tests will provide a p value this can be used to indicate the statistical significance of the results and the degree to which we can be confident that the results are not due to chance. There are different levels of significance that indicate different levels of confidence, P<0.05 this indicates that we can be 95% confident that our findings are not due to chance. P<0.01 this indicates that we can be 99% confident that our findings are not due to chance. This is a stronger result. For example if a p value = 0.04, this value is < 0.05 but not <0.01 and therefore we would state that this finding is significant at the P<0.05 level. Alternatively, If the p value = 0.17 this is not less that the suggested significance levels and therefore the findings would not be significant. Hypothesis Testing It is common practice to state two hypotheses, when designing a research study the null hypothesis and the alternate/experimental hypothesis. The null hypothesis (Ho) states there is no difference / relationship between variables and any differences are purely by chance. The Alternate hypothesis (H1) states that there is a difference / relationship between variables that is not due to chance. After using the appropriate statistical tests you can then either be able to reject the Ho or accept it depending on your results. Type 1 and Type 11 Errors When making a decision about whether or not to reject the hypothesis (Ho) there is always a possibility of making the wrong decision. (The likely hood of coming to the wrong conclusion is equal to the level of confidence, for example this would be 5% at the 0.05 confidence level). This should be acknowledged. The more tests you perform the greater error level.
6 Accepting / rejecting the null hypothesis possible outcomes. Decision of researcher True population situation Ho is true H1 is true Accept Ho OK Type 11 error Reject Ho Type 1 error OK Don t forget it always helps to discuss your data with other researchers! March 2006

If you're a fan of Mercedes-Benz, and particularly its legendary SL model in its several incarnations over the years, consider the appeal of taking one on a road trip through one of Europe's beautiful corners. Last year the automaker launched a program offering once-in-a-lifetime excursions on some of the most breathtaking routes to be found on the Old Continent.
In partnership with Munich-based company Nostalgic, Daimler Business Innovation introduced Classic Car Travel, which allowed drivers to make an unforgettable journey in a classic SL car.
Three itineraries are available:
- - The South of France, more precisely Provence and the Côte d'Azur, where you'll discover magnificent seaside cities like Cannes and Monaco;
- - Italy and its celebrated Tuscany region, dotted by vineyards and home to world-renowned cuisine;
- - Germany, the birthplace of the automobile; this trip includes stops at locations that marked the history of Mercedes-Benz.
Explained the program's project manager Thomas Eisenbarth, "There are lots of people who dream of spending their holiday touring in a classic sports car like the SL, but who balk at the expense of purchasing and maintaining a vehicle like that. With 'Classic Car Travel' you can now enjoy the experience of driving a classic car along some of Europe's dream routes without actually owning your own classic".
In all, a dozen Mercedes SL models of the W 113 (1963-1971) and R 107 (1971-1989) generations are available as part of the program. Plus, participants will trade cars over the course of the trip so that they can try out different versions.
Per-person cost for this excellent European adventure is 1,975 Euros, based on double occupancy. For more information, visit the Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Travel program website.

Group art show in city
Advaita — a group art show — started in 2007 as a platform for people who want to take up art as more than just a hobby.art and culture Updated: Sep 15, 2010 13:46 IST
Advaita — a group art show — started in 2007 as a platform for people who want to take up art as more than just a hobby. Says Sushma Sabnis, organiser, "As a self taught artist, I had difficulty in finding a place to showcase my work. So I started Advaita in an attempt to introduce fresh, new talent into the global art scene.
"We did quite well in the beginning and there has been no looking back ever since. This year, we have an array of painters, photographers, sculptors and digital artists showcasing their works."
Inspired by all
Sabnis admits she derives inspiration from everything around her, including a leaf, a plate, the sound of a person typing on the keyboard, and an image flashing on a mute TV. Sabnis' attempt to mix acrylic and encaustics on canvas for her abstract series titled
I Feel Like This Today
depicts a sense of freedom of expression.
Says artist Leenata Shah, "I intend to transform the world with my art, love and healing, and that is what reflects in my paintings." Shah's works depict a picturesque harmony between colour, form and emotions. She has used archival inks and textured Italian papers to develop an illustrative style. Her painting
Stranger in Mirror
depicts a pining for romance and the belief that there is a soul mate for all of us somewhere.
Postcards from Ladakh — a collection of photographs by Payal Kumar — are bound to leave you wanting to make that magical journey in the rough rocky mountains. Kumar captures the serenity of the mountains by showing the terrain through fluttering prayer flags.
Other must-see works include those of Rajan Ramakrishnan, Prabhakar Jampa, Kamlesh Saxena, Gurmeet Singh, Arthi Srinivasan, Vinod Dubey and Asif Upadhye at the show. All of these can be bought at reasonable rates at the venue itself.

Nice Article!!! In the ocean, the blue tang is a gorgeous fish, very bright blue with a yellow 'scalpel' where the tail meets the body. If you have a salt water tank, please research your options and get fish that are very hardy and do well in captivity. If captive blue tangs don't look as attractive, then they probably aren't very happy in captivity. View this site www.deepdivescuba.com

Blackwater contractor cases are collapsing
Washington — Nearly four years after the U.S. government began a string of investigations and criminal prosecutions against Blackwater Worldwide personnel accused of murder and other violent crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, the cases are beginning to fall apart, burdened by a legal obstacle of the government's own making. In the most recent and closely watched case, the Justice Department on Monday said that it would not seek murder charges against Andrew J. Moonen, a Blackwater armorer accused of killing a guard assigned to the Iraqi vice president on Dec. 24, 2006. Justice officials said that they were abandoning the case after an investigation that began in early 2007 and included trips to Baghdad by federal prosecutors and FBI agents to interview Iraqi witnesses.
The government's decision to drop the Moonen case follows a series of failures by prosecutors aimed at former personnel of Blackwater, founded by Michigan native Erik Prince and is now known as Xe Services. In September, a Virginia jury was unable to reach a verdict in the murder trial of two former Blackwater guards accused of killing two Afghan civilians. Late last year, charges were dismissed against five former Blackwater guards who had been indicted on manslaughter and related weapons charges in a September 2007 shooting incident in Nisour Square in Baghdad, in which 17 Iraqi civilians were killed.
Legal hurdles remain
Interviews with lawyers involved in the case, outside legal experts and a review of some records show that federal prosecutors have failed to overcome a series of legal hurdles, including the difficulties of obtaining evidence in war zones, of gaining proper jurisdiction for prosecutions in U.S. civilian courts and of overcoming immunity deals given to defendants by U.S. officials on the scene.
"The battlefield," said Charles Rose, a law professor at the Stetson College of Law, "is not a place that lends itself to the preservation of evidence."
The difficulty of these cases also illustrates the tricky legal questions raised by the government's increasing use of private contractors in war zones.
Such problems clearly plagued the Moonen case. In the immediate aftermath of the Christmas Eve shooting, Moonen was interviewed, not by the FBI but by an official with the Regional Security Office of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the State Department unit that supervised Blackwater security guards in Iraq.
Stewart Riley, Moonen's lawyer, said his client gave the embassy officials a statement only after he was issued a so-called Garrity warning — a threat that he might lose his job if he did not talk but that he would be granted immunity from prosecution for anything he said. The legal warning and protection given to Moonen was similar to warnings that embassy officials later gave to the Blackwater guards involved in the Nisour Square case.
In each case, the agreements presented an obstacle to U.S. prosecution. In effect, the Blackwater personnel were being given a form of immunity from prosecution.
Justice Department officials declined to comment Wednesday about specific Blackwater cases. But they noted that the government has had a number of successful prosecutions against contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I would love to buy this to replace my beloved 9300...but...VODAFONE WON'T STOCK IT!!!! ARRRRGGHHHHH!!!! E61, had it, sent it back...N91 on the way, we'll see.
problem with Nokia is that they depend on loyal rats to open phones to find out which models... why cant they clearly mark it on the outside
For God shake, don't be silly n act like a mum's baby boy, open the phone and remove the battery and then u'll know if its 9300 or 9300i
One question how do I know if the phone is the 9300 or the 9300i .... some retailers may be pushing the 9300 as the 9300i is there any diffrentiation on the phone itself
it is a great phone,so easy to use,full business and organizes,very nice phone.
the diadvantage is no vibrator,it has less software and expensive...it must come with it in the package...espicialy the antiviruse and the massenger...
but in general its great phone...
This is the best phone.All those who are saying against this phone has not used this phone.SO Listen all of you if u really need business phone then this is the best Best Phone you can use this as Phone and as yours Organizar....................SO Go for this phone
i think this is an awfull phone it is far to big and woulndnt be very convienient to take around with u
If your clever you dont buy phones with key features missing in the first place, you wait for its sequel and save your money.
Believe me, I'm from London and here I haven't seen any of the good executive carry single 9300/9300i/9500 but I've seen Electric/Gas meter regulator people carry these hand sets. I don't find any charm in this so that's why I own 6310i
hi i want to buy a new cellphone and i was wondering which one is better the 9300i or the 9500?i'm just a college student but i really like to have a communicator because it can be very useful to me.please explain to me why you choose the phone for me.thank you very much
Its a very useful device the two things to remember about it is that its a phone second and a very good web access device first. Its fairly large for apocket and getting it clipped onto a belt or something is near enough impractical.
The bluetooth and infra red work well as does the WiFi.
It is sad that Nokia does this to its customers launch the 9300 and the a few months later the 9300i....
1) Keep some key features missing so that you are forced to upgrade
2) I think we must keep our phones at least for 3 - 5 years (if not longer)... the impact on the environment because of redundant / discarded phones is becoming huge .... Nokia does not seem to keep this in mind.
to the one below
the Major difference between the 9300 and the 9300i is the Wi-fi which is a very important feature aslo the 9300i has a major improvement in the battery life!!
so if i were you i would go for the 9300i as wifi is a very important feature in business phones
hello every one!!!!!!
can any one please help me in telling me that presentally i have 9300 which i like very much and i still feel that this is very good phone.my question is should i go for 9300i and why please tell me the proper reasons .
No it do not have one but it work very well with Tom Tom mobile Navigator 5.0 software and GPS. I've a car radio with integrated GPS who not work so acurate that the Nokia ones.
i would like to know: does it have a built in receiver for gps(global poisition satellite)
Hello bozkurt and all together
I just baud this morning my 9300i and still have my 9500. Just for info you could have a MSN on your 9300i as I tried this morning and it works over wi-fi or GPRS perfectly. You could download it on www.mobilelnttech.com and the software is Turbo MSN (1.1). Now regarding Outlook no problem with sync. Their is also the software from Lonely Cat Games www.lonelycatgames.com who offer a good software for emails and could be used with you wi-fi to. Cheers

My very first arrival of My Little Box arrived yesterday, and it's fab! My Little Frenchie Box is the theme of this months February My Little Box. From when I opened the outer packaging I knew the attention to detail was spot on. It displayed a lovely quote from the Parisian icon Ines De La Fressange. 'Being unafraid of not being liked is the best way to be liked'
I can't get over just how quirky and cute this box is, a lovely refreshing box that seems so different from normal monthly subscription boxes. When I first opened my gorgeous box I could see it was wrapped in a lovely ribbon and it contained a magazine, a print sitting on top. I first opened the two little exciting boxes which contained a lovely quotes bottle with 28 little scroll messages/quotes, rather cute. The next box I received was labelled My Little Smartphone Case which I received the navy version, I have seen others received red as an alternative. I think these items are such a lovely different addition to a subscription box, much better than receiving random food items.
My eyes then were drawn to the really cute well made drawstring bag, how adorable is that! This little bag is what contains the beauty items, which I must say I was extremely impressed with. The first thing I pulled out was oil blotting papers from DHC that will come in very handy with my oily skin, 100 sheets included which normally retails at £4.00. I received a Loreal brow artist pencil in my shade dark brunette which retails at £5.49, I love Loreal products so this was a lovely item. Then I pulled out My Little Boxes own beauty brand My Little Beauty which is a complexion brightener priced at £9.50. When I pulled the last item out I let out a little squeal, so exciting as I have been wanting to try items from this brand for a while after seeing it on YouTube videos, it's a By Terry eyeliner which retails at £23.00. My By Terry eyeliner is in the shade 3 Bronze Generation, which is absolutely beautiful, it's a dark base with golden flecks running all through out it giving an amazing affect when applied. It's super soft and creamy making it very easy to apply, no dragging whatsoever leaving a lovely glitzy finish.
So I was extremely impressed with my first ever My Little Box and can't wait for the next one, my box total this month was £64.49 which I think is amazing. What subscription boxes do you receive? Which is your favourite? Any recommendations! I would love to hear from you. Follow me via BlogLovin and check out my Twitter/Instagram beauty accounts. Thanks so much for reading. Speak soon.

Joe Rogan Podcast – Philip Coppens – Review
Another great Joe Rogan Podcast here. I was thoroughly interested in the topics that Philip Coppens and Joe discussed. Unfortunately, at times, the conversation was interrupted spontaneously Brian Redban's immature outbursts; thankfully Joe shut up him up each time.
It may have been because I was at work for the first half of my listening, but the conversation didn't get juicy until the 1:13 mark. At this moment in the podcast Coppens spoke of the connection of mushrooms and Ancient Egypt or ancients intelligence for that matter. This intelligence is what they were trying to figure out. How did the ancients attain this knowledge?
Coppens feels that our ancient ancestors were in communication with an intelligence, or a devine being of extraterrestrial form. Rogan assimilated this topic with what Terrance McKenna called a "Higher Intelligence." McKenna's "higher intelligence" was the idea that enthe0gens derive from spores that were brought from an astroid.
What kind of intelligence did they talk about? Rogan and Coppens discuss topics such as "elongated skulls," evidence of "ancient air travel," "Antikythera," and the "Bosnian Pyramids." It was the ideas and formations like these that has Coppens thinking influence deriving from intelligence. Another characteristic of ancient culture that supports this notion, was the fact that it was believe by society that the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt acted as the "bridge between Gods and people.
How did the ancients instructed by this higher intelligence? Were they visited? Or was it entheogens that put our ancestors in communication with other dimensions. We may never know, but ancient art, writing and creations do suggest that some type of influence did take place.
For anyone seeking alternative history, this is a must listen. Please enjoy it.

Ventura County health officials are skeptical that a fourth of county children have low-level lead poisoning, as suggested in a national study.
Because many of the houses in the county were built after lead-based paint was banned by the state, lead exposure to children cannot be that high, officials said.
The study, conducted by the Washington-based Environmental Defense Fund, used census data and federal lead exposure estimates to determine the probable exposure to children in U.S. metropolitan areas.
Estimates were derived from the number of children ages 6 months to 5 years living in older houses where lead-based paint is most often found, as well as on the income level of their families. Data gathered from recent screening programs in such cities as Oakland and Baltimore fell within 5% of the agency's blood-level predictions, EDF officials said.

Easter crime fiction
It may stem back to the mountain cottage of my childhood, right next to the Norwegian border. Or it may just be that I'm an avid bookworm with a fascination for morbid subjects. Whatever the reason, I've always been a big fan of the Norwegian tradition of reading crime fiction at Easter time. After all, what could be better than taking time off work, heading to the mountains or the countryside – ideally with sparkling snow, spring sunshine, melting icicles, snowdrops and evenings spent in front of a roaring fire – all with a gripping detective novel or two?
Why crime fiction at Easter?
The Norwegian tradition is said to have begun in the 1920s when a Norwegian newspaper published a detective serial during Easter week. This was clearly a great success, because the Norwegian publishing industry soon caught on and kept the tradition alive. One reason was probably the fact that Norwegian mountain cottages – just like holiday cottages everywhere – were often quite basic, and people would rely on traditional games and books to pass the time. Today, of course, it is no longer as a result of circumstances that Norwegians read crime fiction at Easter, but the tradition is still going strong. It has even spread to TV and radio – and made inroads across the border into Sweden.
Some suggested reading
In celebration of Easter crime fiction, we would like to tell you about some less well-known Nordic crime writers:
Matti Rönkä
Finland's Matti Rönkä made his début in 2002 with the detective novel Tappajan näköinen (A Man with a Killer's Face, due to be published in English in October 2015). The protagonist, Viktor Kärppä, is a man with a chequered history: born in Karelia of Ingrian heritage, with a Finnish Soviet defector for a father, and later returning to Finland. Against this background, he automatically comes into contact with the shadowy world of Eastern Bloc immigrants and its conflicts and problems.
Oliver Truc
Olivier Truc is a French war correspondent who ended up in Stockholm and developed a fascination with the Sami, their land and their history at the crossroads of Norway, Finland and Sweden. Truc's book La dernier Lapon (Forty Days Without Shadow: An Arctic Thriller, translated by Louise Rogers Lalaurie) is set in Lapland and is a tale of a missing shamanic drum, murder and severed ears. It reflects the historical disputes, racism and conflicts of reindeer herding, and the problems of mining. All set against a backdrop of the weather, darkness and snow.
Karen Engelmann
Karen Engelmann is an American who previously worked as an illustrator and graphic designer at Ikea and the Swedish newspaper Sydsvenska Dagbladet, spending a total of eight years based in Malmö. Her début novel The Stockholm Octavo is set in late 18th century Stockholm. Amid turmoil in Europe and Stockholm, schemes are under way to overthrow the king. This is a tale of greed, power, intrigue, prophecy, folding fans and high ambitions during a time of political turbulence.
Jörn Lier Horst
Jörn Lier Horst is a police officer in the Norwegian county of Vestfold who also writes crime fiction. Jakthundene was published in 2014 (translated into English by Anne Bruce as The Hunting Dogs), and features Chief Inspector William Wisting. When Wisting is suspended on suspicion of having fabricated evidence in an old investigation, he is forced to try to uncover the truth himself.
Eva Heljesten
And finally, a writer from Sweden. Eva Heljesten is a translator and professional writer, and now also an author. Her first book, Den gula giraffen ("The Yellow Giraffe"), was published as an e-book in 2014. A murder is committed in a forest north of Stockholm, and turns out to have links to Germany. Soon, more bodies are found…
More crime
Other exciting Nordic crime writers to look out for include:
- Kati Hiekkapelto
- Hans Olav Lahlum
- André Bjerke
- Tom Egeland
- Christoffer Carlsson
- Marko Kilpi
- Fredrik Hardenborg
- Gunnar Staalesen
- Arnaldur Indriðason

The Denver Nuggets looked to rebound with a strong performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday after a loss to Houston in their Summer League opener. Game one featured far too many turnovers and some horrid defense, so there was plenty of room for improvement. Unfortunately, Denver picked up right where they left off.
Head Coach Micah Nori made some changes to the starting line up, inserting Robert Carter Jr. and Nikola Radicevic at the center and point guard positions respectfully. But neither player managed to make an impact early while Malik Beasley was relatively quiet. Hernangomez finished the quarter with 8 points, but he was the lone bright spot for Denver's offense in the first.
After 1, Nuggets trail 22-17. Denver is shooting just 5-15 from the field, 5 turnovers.
— Harrison Wind (@HarrisonWind) July 9, 2017
Much like the first game, Beasley began to heat up in the second quarter. He finished the first half with 13 points on 5-10 from the field. But his production was for not as Denver's sloppy play resulted in 14 point deficit at the half.
As a team Denver's shooting just 13-33 (39.4%) from the field and has 10 turnovers.
— Harrison Wind (@HarrisonWind) July 9, 2017
The second half featured more of the same as Minnesota's lead grew to as large as 20 points, and hovered around that mark for the remainder of the game. The Wolves earned their first win of the Summer with a final score of 90-71.
The Nuggets finished the game with 23 turnovers—far too many, even for Summer League. Meanwhile, the Wolves dominated the glass. They out-rebounded Denver 42-27 with an 11-3 advantage on the offensive boards. Six of those offensive boards came from Matt Costello, the 23 -year old undrafted center out of Michigan State. He would finished the game with 15 total rebounds.
Perry Ellis of Kansas was Minnesota's leading scorer, pouring in 19 points on 7-11 shooting in 22 minutes off the bench. Marcus Paige added 12 points of his own and finished with a game high plus-minus of +26.
Beasley followed up his impressive game one with 20 points on 8-17 shooting, and Juan Hernangomez added on 18 points of his own. But Juancho turned it over 4 times and Beasley finished with a plus-minus of -23 as no other Nugget managed to hit double digits in scoring.
Denver falls to 0-2 this Summer while Minnesota evens up their record at 1-1. The Nuggets will take on the Toronto Raptors on Monday night, 6 pm MT. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU and available to stream via the Watch ESPN app.
