Linda Wells Named Softball Coach Of Greek Olympic Team
Aug. 2, 2002
SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN - Arizona State head softball coach Linda Wells was named Head Coach of the Greek national team at a press conference announced Friday in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where the ISF Women's World Championship is currently being played. She will lead the country's national team to the 2004 Summer Olympics, to be held in Athens.
In making today's announcement, Hellenic Amateur Softball Federation President Mr. Dimitrios Modes said, 'I would like to express our satisfaction in finalizing our talks with Ms. Linda Wells. We are all aware of her background and credentials, and her involvement with the sport for so many years makes her the right person for us.'
Wells, a native of Pacific, Missouri and a 1972 graduate of Southeast Missouri State, has been coaching - and will continue in that position - at Arizona State University for 13 years. She has amassed 819 total career Division I victories - 468 of those at ASU - and most recently guided her 2002 team to a third place finish at the Women's College World Series. Her 819 Division I victories place her eighth on the Winningest Active NCAA D-I Coaches list, and 11th among All-Time NCAA D-I Coaches. She already has international coaching experience, having assisted the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the 1985 South Pacific Classic in Australia as well as that which won the 1987 Pan American Games.
'I am deeply honored to be named the Head Olympic Coach for the Greek softball team for the 2004 Games in Athens,' Wells said. 'I am grateful to the Hellenic Amateur Softball Federation for this opportunity, and I look forward to working closely with the Greek softball and general communities to develop, identify, and train this team for this historical competition.'
Wells, who also coached collegiately for more than ten years throughout the mid-70s to late 80s at Minnesota, is a past president of the National Softball Coaches Association (NSCA) and is a featured speaker at numerous camps and clinics. She is a member of the NSCA Hall of Fame, the University of Minnesota Hall of Fame in volleyball and softball, and was recently inducted into the State of Minnesota Hall of Fame.
Mr. Modes added, 'The fact that Ms. Wells was also highly recommended to us by the ISF makes us feel confident that our selection is the best one. We are very happy to work with Ms. Wells and we believe that her knowledge, in combination with hard work, in the future will bring great results. We are very honored by the fact that Ms. Wells made the decision to develop and work with the Hellenic Olympic Team in order to prepare the players for the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 - a great challenge for all of us indeed. We would like to thank Ms. Wells and the ISF for their ongoing support.'
By virtue of their hosting the Olympic Games, Greece had - an exercised - the option to take one of the eight spots on the roster of softball teams that will compete in 2004. Since softball hadn't been played in that country prior to 1999, Greece was aided by the ISF in helping prepare to build toward a competitive team for the 2004 Summer Games. The ISF helped develop and train a national team of exclusively Greek players to compete in the 2001 European B Championship in an effort to ready them for the next stage of the national team development program. That next step involves selecting the best players from a database of over 100 softball players in North America with Greek heritage that the ISF has been building over the last year and a half. The top players from that group will be identified through tryouts, and then be combined with players selected from Greek-only tryouts, held in Athens in late September. These two groups will blend to become the Greek national team and eventually pared down to result in the 2004 Greek Olympic team.
ISF President Don Porter said, 'This is an important program for Greece as well as for us. We are always striving to ensure that our events provide the highest level of competition to fans and media. The eyes of the world will be on Greece and, in this case, their national team in softball, so we want to make every opportunity available to them that exists for the countries who have been playing softball for years and years. I'm sure that Mr. Modes and Coach Wells will be prepared to field a team that is right in there competing with the rest of them.'
In late August, the ISF will host, and Linda Wells will conduct, tryouts for no more than 30 North American players invited to Plant City Stadium at the ISF's world headquarters in Florida (USA).
The International Softball Federation, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2002, is the governing body of softball internationally as recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF). The ISF organizes and conducts world championship competition in women's and men's fast pitch, junior women's and men's fast pitch, women's, men's, and coed slow pitch, and women's and men's modified pitch. Softball (women's fast pitch) made its Olympic debut at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. There are 125 affiliated countries in the ISF and over 40 million participants in the sport worldwide.

Full Protection
Unsaturated fatty acids in avocado and olive oil protect your skin from oxidative stress and support cell regeneration. They also have an anti-inflammatory effect which is great for cracked, rough and itchy hands. Plus, the vegan wax aka candelilla wax, carnauba wax and myrica fruit wax strengthen your skin.
Vitamin Boost
The avocado oil and citrus extracts in the cream provide your skin with essential vitamins like Vitamin A, E, D, C, and Q10.
Subtle Botanical Scent
Mandarine, peppermint, citrus, and bitter orange oil. – Yes, it smells like it sounds like. Absolutely delicious! Besides, these oils are antibacterial and (surprise) have a mood-enhancing effect. Don't think that we are weird, but in the beginning, we couldn't stop smelling our hands. Mmmm.
Sustainable Design
STUDIO BOTANIC uses aluminum tubes for their creams to prevent the formation of germs in the product. Following their "less is more" approach, the design is kept to a minimum. Timeless and unisex, the natural cosmetic brand wishes to address all genders. So you can also hand this cream over to your boyfriends, dads, and brothers. They will like it – pinky promise.

An athlete from Leicestershire has claimed a new world record as the fastest person to complete an Ironman competition blindfolded.
Fully blind Haseeb Ahmad, from Oadby, smashed the previous record for the challenging course – a 2.2-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26-mile run – by almost seven minutes.
Haseeb, 46, and his guide Duncan Shea-Simonds, claimed the record in the event in Barcelona on October 2. He got confirmation last week (10th) that he is now the official record-holder. They finished the course in 11 hours, three minutes and 31 seconds.
The father-of-one said he was inspired by the fact that the race was on the 20th birthday of his daughter Ayeisha, who was there to cheer him on.
Haseeb was registered blind at 17 due to retinitis pigmantosa, an incurable condition in which the cells of the retina degenerate.

The Smith & Wesson Shield is one of the most popular line-ups of pistols in the world. It only makes sense that S&W would want to make an iteration of the handgun that would please everyone. They rolled into NRAAM 2019 with new iterations, most notably the Performance Center M&P 9 M2.0 and the Performance Center M&P 380 Shield EZ M2.0.
Starting with the Performance Center M&P 9 M2.0; the biggest thing you'll notice right away is that gun comes equipped with a 4 MOA Red Dot on top. Other noteworthy features are the ported 4-inch barrel and slide, designed to reduce felt recoil. You'll see the same aggressive texturing, cocking serrations, and finish as the previous Performance Center M&P models. The pistol ships with two magazines, including one with an extended finger groove. This is available without the optic as well, the Red Dot version will retail for an MSRP of $854.
The Performance Center M&P 380 Shield EZ M2.0 also has some striking new features. You'll immediately notice the aggressive lightning cuts in the slide to compliment the 3.8-inch ported barrel, both of which aim to reduce felt recoil. S&W included an all new flat-faced trigger for this gun too which promises to be crisp, lightweight, with an audible reset. The pistol also features HI-VIZ sights and a Picatinny style rail for low-light performance. You can get the pistol with either silver or gold accents, which match style with function.
The Performance Center M&P 380 EZ M2.0 will ship with two 8-round magazines and will have an MSRP of $502.

Headaches aren't typically considered to be major health problems, but in some cases, they can have a significantly negative impact on quality of life and general happiness. Looking for ways to reduce toe prevalence of headaches naturally involves exploring their causes, and a range of triggers for headaches have been identified in numerous studies. In the case of children, however, research is still uncovering new sources of head pain and related issues. Recently, a study performed in Germany investigated the impact of family conflicts and free time to oneself on the occurrence of headaches in children. The results, as might be expected, indicate that frequent arguments and other stressful situations in the home can lead to more frequent headaches.
The study worked with a number of youths and their families, and focused on discovering at least in part why nearly thirty percent of the world's children report at least once weekly symptoms of headaches. Gathering data from the participants, the researchers found that those families in which young boys experienced fights or other conflicts more than once per week were greatly more conducive to headaches among children; such boys were approximately 1.8 times more likely to report issues with headaches. Boys who reported experiencing occasional rather than frequent free time to themselves were over two times as likely to experience headaches.
While the resolution and prevention of familial conflicts is likely to be on the agenda of most families participating in therapy, addressing such issues and helping children develop coping strategies and secure more alone time may be of great importance not only for mental well-being, but for the potential to reduce regular physical pain and interference with daily life as well.

Structured Query Language (SQL)
It is a programming language, which is domain specific. It is used for handling the data, which is stored in relational database management system. It manages the structured data in which relations are present among the distinct variables of the data. Moreover, database administrators or DBA take the help of special softwares for the organization or storage of data.
In SQL, the users can ingress several records of data with the help of specific SQL commands. Along with this, the users do not need to specify the criteria for reaching a record. The applications which are data driven in SQL can be attacked by SQL injection. The SQL injection inserts foul statements into a field for carrying out the task.
Furthermore, PostgreSQL is an object relational system of database, which increases the efficiency of SQL. It can store and retrieve huge amount of workloads. Along with this, TSQL adds many characteristics to SQL. Moreover, AQL is similar to SQL with some differences, which can be located in the AQL chart.
The commands in SQL
The SQL queries calls data from the database. In order to retrieve the data and solve the SQL queries, SQL commands are used. The SQL commands are classified into four classes.
Online web assistance
The W3schools sql is an online tutorial site, which helps the users to learn SQL online and it offers sql queries for practice The users can do SQL practice online with the help of SQL queries for practice, which are present on the site. W3schools sql contains several SQL questions and SQL MCQ, which helps the users to prepare for SQL interview questions and SQL queries for interview.
The site contains SQl interview questions for testers, SQL interview questions for freshers, and SQL interview questions for experienced. The several SQL online test and SQL quiz conducted on the site helps the users to prepare with the SQL interview questions and answers. The users can prepare for the basic SQL interview questions, SQL joins interview questions, and SQL developer interview questions with the help of SQL query interview questions and answers provided on the site. The SQL queries interview questions are also solved on the site.
Speed up your work

NoSQL and MySQL
NoSQL database is a procedure for saving and retrieving information, which is not in tabular form. The structure of data in NoSQL db can be graph, columns or documents. It is more flexible than RDBMS and therefore, is used in actual time web applications and when the size of data is big.
MySQL is a RDBMS, which is open source. It is a part of LAMP and is used in C and C++. My SQL stores data in tabular structure. phpMyAdmin is an efficient management equipment for MySQL.
The users can get SQL download and SQL tutorial from W3schools. Also, Nosql tutorial, and PL SQL tutorial is available on the site.

How to Prevent Vaccine Loss
Preventing vaccine loss is not something that is fixed in one sitting. The frequency of vaccine threatening events is much higher than predicted and represents a real threat to vaccine inventory in a clinic or pharmacy. But within each class of event, there are sub classifications; each of which requires a different risk mitigation strategy.
1. Power Outages:
Areawide power outages. Most power outages experienced by our clients were geographic versus building specific. The affected areas were most often a subset of the city or town. Most of these disruptions were related to one of three causes:
- Severe weather – thunderstorms, windstorms, lightning, flood. Most of these occurred between April and November and were consistent with seasonal weather variations.
- Construction in the area – road construction, new building construction. With every bit of road construction, there is always an opportunity for a backhoe to find an undocumented power cable or relay.
- Power grid failures – network maintenance, overload, and substation failure. Power grids are always attempting to adjust to changing conditions as well as consumption and network disruption.
Building-related power outages usually occurred with after-hours maintenance. The most typical example involved third parties tripping a circuit breaker or fuse.
Power outages are almost impossible to prevent as the cause is beyond the clinic or pharmacy's scope of influence. The most important thing a clinic or pharmacy can do to prepare for a power outage is adequate planning. This means that the staff needs to understand what type of power outage has occurred, who should be contacted, how the clinic identifies themselves to the power company and when and how the vaccine emergency plan needs to be implemented.
2. Thermostat manipulation errors
The most common reasons for thermostat manipulation errors are:
- Changing the thermostat accidentally while loading inventory. Staff would Inadvertently push thermostat temperature buttons and turn dials as they were making inventory changes.
- Inadequate temperature mitigation preparations. Insufficient water for temperature mediation and overstocked refrigerators were the most frequent culprits.
- Thermostat overcorrection occurred when staff changed the thermostat without having a sense of the real scale of the individual thermostat triggering a pattern of correction and counter correction that only exacerbated the problem.
Three scenarios were prevalent:
- A large volume of the vaccine placed in the refrigerator or freezer compartment which triggered alerts and created an opportunity for errors related to the correction-counter correction cycle described above. Overcrowded refrigerators can also lead to a lack of circulation around the probes.
- A clinic or pharmacy placed too much room temperature water into the refrigerator too soon creating artificially warm temperatures.
- Staff perceived that the refrigerator temperature was too warm (but still within the proper range). In the example below the lead nurse in the lab thought the temperatures were getting too hot because they had a second, non-calibrated thermometer in the refrigerator. The nurse then made thermostat adjustments with the result being that the temperatures quickly dropped as low as 32.3°F. A correction-color correction cycle then ensued.
- Use only one thermometer in each compartment unless you have a large While multiple thermometers from different vendors in a single compartment provide the illusion of redundancy, they rarely read the same temperature leading to confusion among staff and can result in rapid, unplanned temperature changes by the team in the clinic or pharmacy.
- Establish protocols for thermostat change. Changing the thermostat should be location protocol dependent and must include management approval of any change.
- Ensure the use of proper temperature mitigation techniques. Water needs to be placed in the correct locations within the refrigerator to mitigate swings in temperatures.
- Follow the Vaccine recovery plan. Clinics and pharmacies need to have a written process in place to correct temperature variation. Planning should not only provide the basics of location, contact information, and temperature limits but should also include the required response by Event. An example would be an area-wide power outage. Anyone reading the plan should know the emergency number of the power company, how they identify themselves, what questions to ask and, based upon the answers, the next steps to take.
3. Refrigerator or freezer door left ajar:
Loading new vaccines and managing inventory. Boxes, ties, and cables create "breaks" in the seals around the refrigeration compartment doors. If there are multiple thermometers in the refrigerator or freezer, those cables can bunch up and create a "tunnel" in the door seal
Inattention at the end of the day leads to doors ajar due to slamming doors or shutting doors too gently. Because the staff leaves at the end of the day, there is no opportunity to catch these errors. We nicknamed this the "5 o'clock syndrome".
- Establish inventory procedures that include verifying the door seal and noting the thermostat position before and after the inventory change and reorganization.
- Two staff members per site should be responsible for verifying there are no doors ajar. In some situations, clinic staff assumed that somebody else had checked the refrigerator doors.
4. Other types of errors:
- Failure to properly defrost the freezer in the dual compartment- single compressor units will change the dynamic of the compressor which in turn tends to over cool the refrigeration compartment.
- Placing too much ice in the freezer changed the thermostat- compressor dynamic which would lead to overcooling in the refrigerator.
- Vaccine stored in the refrigerator doors. Storing inventory in the doors instead of the refrigerator or shelves invites wide swings in temperatures as inventory changes.
- Too much inventory in a refrigeration compartment disrupts airflow around the vaccines and the temperature probes. Depending upon the refrigerator this can push the temperatures readings out of range.
- Ignoring alarms is most often a problem during the daytime if cold temperature alarms are triggered.
The problems above are all solved by following best vaccine storage practices as defined by the CDC.

Scaffolding Bishop's Frome Herefordshire
Scaffolding Bishop's Frome Herefordshire: When you've got some significant building work being done on your home in Bishop's Frome, such as doing repointing, putting in new windows, having a new roof installed or having a chimney restored, there's a high likelihood that you're going to require some scaffolding, to help with making the site safe for both yourself and the contractors carrying out the project. If this is in fact the scenario, then you will want to locate an experienced Bishop's Frome scaffolder, to provide you with some costings and get the required scaffolding put up correctly.
Scaffolding - A Potted Guide: Most often comprised of steel tubes and fittings, a scaffold is simply a temporary structure that's put in place to provide a safe working platform for construction workers engaging in their duties on buildings and houses in Bishop's Frome. Scaffolding also helps in making buildings safe for the general public and for the occupants, sheltering them from dangers like falling dust and debris as a result of work being done overhead.
A scaffold is made using many different pieces that will typically include: limpet clamps, guard rails, toeboards, board clamps, sills, scaffold boards, midrails, ladders, putlogs, couplers, standards, ladder clamps, facade braces, diagonal braces, sole boards, spade ends, swivel clamps, base plates, right angle clamps and ledgers.
There are additionally several different types of scaffold, each one having its own distinct purpose, among the various kinds are trestle scaffolds, cantilever scaffolding, patented scaffolding, shoring scaffolds, confined space scaffolds, double scaffolds, suspended scaffolding, single scaffolding, tower scaffolds, rolling scaffolds and tube and fitting scaffolds. The most likely type that you would have on your house in Bishop's Frome, is the single (also known as bricklayer's) scaffold.
When you need to get scaffolding in Bishop's Frome, you must track down an experienced scaffolding contractor, who is recommended by your local council. If the scaffold is going to encroach onto a pavement or public highway you must get a licence from the local authority and will need to ensure it's safe before it's used, re-check it once every seven days, and also safety check it after modifications, damage or windy weather. Such a scaffolding licence is required when you are erecting hoarding, access towers, staging, scaffolding, pedestrian barriers as well as if you're siting a skip or contractors plant. If your scaffolding needs to go on a public highway it will also need to be fitted with safety lighting, which will be provided by your Bishop's Frome scaffolders. Scaffolding in Great Britain needs to comply with the European Standard, BS EN 12811-1, which stipulates performance requirements and methods for the design of access and working scaffolding.
When you happen to be seeking out scaffolders in Bishop's Frome, in all probability you'll have knowledge of a couple of companies in your immediate locality. Scaffolders are renowned for big, eye-catching promotional boards, situated conspicuously on their scaffolds, which is of course a great marketing tactic that gets their company name well known throughout the Bishop's Frome, Herefordshire locale. Knowing of these local scaffolding firms should provide you with some possibilities to pick from. You can also send in a request form to Bark.com, who will kindly contact several local Bishop's Frome scaffolders on your behalf, saving you some valuable time and effort. You should then have a sufficient number of potential scaffolders in order to make a well informed choice for your building project.

Things to do
Stroll across the Tiber, Rome - From the spectacular Colosseum and Roman Forum to the Pantheon, Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, there's much history to retrace, but so much more to this fascinating city than Shakespeare himself could describe.
Milan- With an undeniably significant say in the fashion world, extravagant complexes, a sparkling nightlife, and an immense love for everything glamorous, Milan is a metropolis of the best kind. Head out of town to the malls, dressed to the nines in your high heels, for the best of the best.
Island hopping in Venice- Serpentine streets of unending possibilities Venice is an interesting blend of art and fashion in a fascinating lagoon. Get a first-hand experience of the intricate waterways here, past bridges that join small islands like pieces of a jigsaw.
Best time to visit April to October
Italy has something to offer the visitor year-round. Italy comes alive in the month of April -June and mid-September to October. The climate is generally gentle, with sunny skies and comfortable daytime temperatures, rural colours are richer making it ideal for sightseeing. County's rich culture and monuments can be best enjoyed now.
The low season runs generally from November through the end of March. August, although considered as the high season, can also be the worst month, attributable to hot, muggy, and crowded locales. Festa della Repubblica (June 2) or Ferragosto (August 15) is Italy's biggest celebrations during this period.
Winters (December - March ) in the north of Italy are cold, with rain and snow. Crowds are at a minimum in this time. Explore museums and galleries to your heart's content or shop for Christmas markets. Winter can be alluring for skiers who are looking for a little fun in the snow.
Spring (may-June) means Festivals in Italy! Flower festivals, Holy Week, and outdoor concerts and national holidays such as Easter Monday Liberation Day, Labour Day bring the best of Italy.
Untravel suggests culinary aficionados to consider the seasonal Italian kitchen calendar. The season of spring and fall see markets filled with fresh, local produce and special Italian street cuisines.
How to reach
Rome Fiumicino AIrport and Milan Malpensa Airports are the main airports in Italy.
There are around 20 airports here.Considering the distances between north and south, domestic flights can be a good way to make these longer journeys.
A variety of airlines operate flights in Italy, national carrier Alitalia to European and Italian-based companies like Easyjet, Air Italy and Blue Panorama.
Trains can be one of the most affordable modes of transport in Italy.
The 'Frecciarossa, Frecciargento, Eurostar trains are the fastest and luxurious, but can be expensive too.The Intercity trains, which connect cities, are often slow. But it is the comparatively the best and economical way to see Italy closely.
RoadItaly is good for driving-reasonable rentals, no language barrier, exciting rural areas, and fine roads. You will see more of Italy if you rent a car, especially the rural locale.
Italy has an enormous coastline, so boat travel may just be a part of your Italian vacation.
There are good number of ferries and hydrofoils running from mainland towns and cities.As we all know, there is an enduring love affair between Italy and mopeds. Drive the way Italians do, on a Vespa!

HENDERSON, TX (KLTV) - Henderson police are searching for the owner of two four-legged friends on the lam.
The police department posted a photo to social media of a Great Pyrenees and a brown and white goat wandering around the city.
"These two best friends are on the loose and running amok around Henderson," the department wrote. "The best friends are a Great Pyrenees and a brown and white goat."
The picture was taken Thursday on the south side of the city and in the Tera Nova subdivision. Police say they've been spotted several times and a family was able to catch them recently and has been caring for them while police search for the owner.
To provide information on the owner of these best friends, call the police department 903-657-3512.

In 2011, Seattle Magazine famously reported that Seattle has a dog obsession. At the time, there were more dogs in Seattle than children. Whether or not that's still the case, there's no debating that Seattle is still one of the most dog-friendly cities in the nation.
Unfortunately, when dogs and people live in close quarters, dogs will sometimes attack humans and cause serious injuries. According to the Insurance Information Institute, Washington ranked 21st in the nation in dog bite-related insurance claims in 2018, with 317 insurance claims relating to dog bites. Some of the most tragic and upsetting cases of injuries, and even death, from dog bites, involve small children who do not know the warning signs of a dog that feels threatened.
If you or a loved one suffered a severe injury in a dog attack, you may have the right to take legal action for damages under Washington law. To learn more, contact the experienced Seattle dog bite liability lawyers at Boohoff Law today.

About Dog Bite Law
With over 78 million dogs living in households in the United States, dog bites are so common that there is an entire area of law dedicated to the topic. Many states, including Washington, have their own statutes addressing dog bites. In Washington, that law says:
"The owner of any dog which shall bite any person while such person is in or on a public place or lawfully in or on a private place including the property of the owner of such dog, shall be liable for such damages as may be suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of such dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness."
This is what is known as a strict liability statute. State law recognizes just two exceptions to the owner's liability when her dog bites someone:
Illegal presence on private property. The owner is liable for a bite that happened in public or on private property where the victim is legally present. The owner would not generally have liability to someone trespassing on her property who gets bitten by her dog. The law deems a person to be on private property legally only when the person is there "with the express or implied consent of the owner."
Provocation. An owner is not liable for injuries to a person who provoked a dog to attack. Although the statute does not specifically define what it means to provoke a dog, generally speaking it means any action taken to abuse, torture, or taunt an animal into acting aggressively. Small children (usually those younger than six) cannot be found to have provoked a dog into attacking.
Dangerous Dogs
Although Washington's dog bite statute holds an owner of a dog liable for biting someone "regardless of the former viciousness of such dog," that doesn't mean owners of dogs known to attack are treated the same as owners of dogs that have never attacked before. Owners of dogs deemed dangerous (because they have attacked unprovoked in the past) have the extra responsibility to keep the public safe from them, including:
Registration. All dangerous dogs must be registered with local government authorities. To obtain a certificate of registration of a dangerous dog from a city or town, an owner generally must show the dog is kept in an adequate enclosure with warning signs posted (including signs children would understand) or to show that the owner has at least $250,000 of coverage for liability to anyone injured by the dog;
Restraint. Owners must keep dangerous dogs muzzled and on a substantial chain or leash; and
Criminal liability. Owners who fail to keep the public safe from dangerous dogs in this manner face prosecution.
Seattle Municipal Code Dog Provisions
The laws above are the minimum standards that apply in Washington statewide. Seattle has adopted its own additional animal control ordinances that include provisions dealing with dogs and dog bites. Those laws include:
Licensing. All pet dogs older than eight weeks living in Seattle must have licenses. Special licenses, with higher standards for issuance, are required for any dog designated as a guard dog or attack dog under the ordinance.
Rabies vaccination. All pet dogs living in Seattle must be vaccinated against rabies.
Dangerous dogs prohibited. In Seattle, it is illegal to possess a dangerous dog—whether or not the dog has been officially designated as such—within the city limits.
Leashes. All dogs on public property must be kept on leash, except in specially designated areas like dog parks.
Owners who fail to follow these provisions could face civil fines or criminal penalties under the Seattle municipal code.
About Dog Bites
Why do dogs bite? The American Veterinary Medical Association explains a dog may bite a human for a variety of reasons, such as:
- In self-defense or in defense of its territory;
- If frightened or startled;
- To protect something valuable, such as a puppy, food, or a toy;
- Because it feels sick or in pain;
- During over-excited play.
Preventing Dog Bites
To avoid dog bites, the AVMA advises keeping these potential reasons in mind and educating others about them. As a general matter, you should avoid startling or seeming aggressive to a dog. Avoid risky situations, such as dogs not accompanied by their owners, or a dog acting protective of an object or puppies. Learn the dog body language warning signs indicating a dog feels threatened or scared. Above all, make sure young children do not approach dogs unaccompanied by an adult until that dog knows the child and the child knows how to read the dog's body language.
Common Dog Bite Injuries
A dog that bites can inflict serious injuries, particularly on young children. Common dog bite injuries include:
- Lacerations and puncture wounds that cause scarring. These wounds are particularly devastating when a dog bites a child's face.
- Infection from untreated bites that break the skin;
- Uncontrolled bleeding when a dog's bite ruptures a blood vessel;
- Damage to soft tissue, including muscles, ligaments, and tendons; and
- Rabies or other communicable diseases carried by unvaccinated dogs.
Some of the injuries above can be so severe that the dog bite victim may die. According to the dog bite prevention advocacy group DogsBite.org, from 2005 to 2017, 433 Americans died from dog bite injuries. About 75 percent of those deaths resulted from attacks by pit bulls (65 percent) or rottweilers (10 percent). A wide variety of other dog breeds accounted for the remainder.
Most dog bite victims do not die, but their injuries may still cause lasting damage. Scarring, disfigurement, and physical disability caused by a dog bite can require years of medical treatment. Young children, especially, may also require long-term mental health support for injuries sustained in an unprovoked dog attack. An experienced Seattle dog bite attorney focuses on the extent and nature of future medical care her client will need so that she can seek the appropriate amount of damages for a dog bite injury.
Common Damages for Dog Bite Injuries
As we know, under Washington law the owner of a dog that bites will have strict legal liability to the person bitten for paying compensatory damages. What do those damages cover? Generally speaking, they fall into two broad categories: economic (or special) damages, and non-economic (or general) damages.
Economic damages are compensation for specific, easily-calculated costs the dog bite victim has incurred as a result of the bite. They typically will include:
- Un-reimbursed medical bills;
- Chronic or long-term care costs;
- Mental health counseling;
- Physical therapy;
- Lost wages from time off from work while recovering or helping a loved one recover; and
- Lost income or employment opportunity due to injuries and disabilities.
In Washington, the dog owner liable to the bite victim may have the right to pay economic damages over time, instead of as a lump-sum.
Non-economic damages are compensation for subjective injuries that are more difficult to quantify. In dog bite cases, they may include:
- Pain and suffering;
- The long-term effects of living with disfiguring scars;
- Damage to personal relationships (a.k.a. loss of consortium/companionship/parent-child relationship); and
- Negative impacts on quality of life.
Whereas in some states non-economic damages can be astronomically high, in Washington State there is a hard cap non-economic damages. A dog bite victim can recover a maximum of 43 percent of the average annual wage in Washington (which is set by law) multiplied by his or her life expectancy at the time of dog attack (no less than 15 years).

Dog bites (and other animal attacks) inflict severe physical and emotional trauma on their victims, particularly when those victims are young children. Recovering from a dog bite injury can entail significant medical complications, particularly if the dog caused disfiguring injuries that require multiple cosmetic surgeries to repair. As we noted above, even after wounds heal, the emotional scars of a dog attack can last a lifetime.
At Boohoff Law, we understand how scary and disruptive a dog bite injury can be for the victim, the victim's family, and even for the dog owner (who almost never intends for the dog to bite). In the aftermath of a dog bite, life can feel overwhelming and cruel. Victims and their families rarely think of hiring an attorney as a top priority. We understand that, but we also encourage Seattle dog bite victims to seek legal help as soon as possible. The faster an experienced Seattle dog bite attorney begins helping, the better your chances of recovering appropriate compensation and, just as importantly, of keeping the community safe from further attacks by the dog in question.
In Washington, the general statute of limitations on personal injury claims, including dog bite injuries, is three years. But, that doesn't mean it's a good idea to wait two-and-a-half-years to seek legal help. An experienced Seattle dog bite injury lawyer will want to investigate a client's case as soon as practicable after the bite occurs. That's because it can be critical for Seattle animal control authorities to be involved with investigating the dog's license, vaccination, and history of attacks. The more time that passes, the less likely the authorities, and your lawyer, will be able to find relevant information that could help your cause.
Another reason not to wait to seek legal help for a Seattle dog bite is that the dog owner's homeowner's insurance company won't wait to investigate the claim. Unlike your lawyer, however, insurance adjusters are not on your side, no matter how sympathetic they might act. Insurance companies want to minimize their financial exposure, and may try to do so by looking for ways to claim the dog was provoked. They may also offer inadequate settlements before you have a handle on your legal rights. An experienced Seattle dog bite injury lawyer can help protect you from these tactics.

Note: Complete source code can be found here https://github.com/parasdahal/deepnet
We know that feature scaling makes the job of gradient descent easy and allows it to converge faster. Feature scaling is performed as a pre-processing task on the dataset. But once the normalized input is fed to the deep network, as each layer is affected by parameters in all the input layer, even a small change in the network parameter is amplified and leads to the input distribution being changed in the internal layers of the network. This is known as internal covariance shift.
Batch Normalization is an idea introduced by Ioffe & Szegedy
It is implemented as a layer (with trainable parameters) and normalizes the activations of the previous layer. Backpropagation allows the network to learn if they want the activations to be normalized and upto what extent. It is inserted immediately after fully connected or convolutional layers and before nonlinearities. It effectively reduces the internal covariance shift in deep networks.
Advantages of BatchNorm
In the forward pass, we calculate the mean and variance of the batch, normalize the input to have unit Gaussian distribution and scale and shift it with the learnable parameters and , respectively.
The implementation is very simple and straightforward:
n_X,c_X,h_X,w_X = X.shape
X_flat = X.reshape(n_X,c_X*h_X*w_X)
mu = np.mean(X_flat,axis=0)
var = np.var(X_flat, axis=0)
X_norm = (X_flat - mu)/np.sqrt(var + 1e-8)
out = gamma * X_norm + beta
For our backward pass, we need to find gradients , and . We calculate the intermediate gradients from top to bottom in the computational graph to get these gradients.
Now we have gradients for both the learnable parameters. Now for input gradient,
We can see from the computation graph, is on two nodes, so we need to add up gradients on both nodes.
Now we have all the intermediate gradients to calculate input gradient. Since is in three nodes, we add up the gradients on each of those nodes.
Translating the gradient expressions in python, we have our implementation of backprop through the BatchNorm layer:
n_X,c_X,h_X,w_X = X.shape
# flatten the inputs and dout
X_flat = X.reshape(n_X,c_X*h_X*w_X)
dout = dout.reshape(n_X,c_X*h_X*w_X)
X_mu = X_flat - mu
var_inv = 1./np.sqrt(var + 1e-8)
dX_norm = dout * gamma
dvar = np.sum(dX_norm * X_mu,axis=0) * -0.5 * (var + 1e-8)**(-3/2)
dmu = np.sum(dX_norm * -var_inv ,axis=0) + dvar * 1/n_X * np.sum(-2.* X_mu, axis=0)
dX = (dX_norm * var_inv) + (dmu / n_X) + (dvar * 2/n_X * X_mu)
dbeta = np.sum(dout,axis=0)
dgamma = dout * X_norm
Here is the source code for BatchNorm layer with forward and backward API implemented.
class Batchnorm():
def __init__(self,X_dim):
self.d_X, self.h_X, self.w_X = X_dim
self.gamma = np.ones((1, int(np.prod(X_dim)) ))
self.beta = np.zeros((1, int(np.prod(X_dim))))
self.params = [self.gamma,self.beta]

self.n_X = X.shape[0]

self.var = np.var(self.X_flat, axis=0)
self.X_norm = (self.X_flat - self.mu)/np.sqrt(self.var + 1e-8)
out = self.gamma * self.X_norm + self.beta
return out.reshape(self.X_shape)

dout = dout.ravel().reshape(dout.shape[0],-1)

Planning a permanent move from your current home to a new country can prove to be quite stressful. There is the constant feeling of being overwhelmed due to the scope of the move, as well as the worry that you might forget something important. Leaving your home and your roots behind to start a fresh in a new country can also be quite daunting.
However, relocating to another country is doable, and with the right professional help, you are guaranteed of a successful move as well as a quick transition to your new home.
Before you move, though, and before you hire professional moving experts, there are two main things that you will need to do in order to guarantee a successful move. These two things you should do before you embark on an international residence relocation include:
- Do your research
- On costs
When you start planning for your relocation, it is imperative that you conduct a thorough research on the country that you are moving to.
You already know the country you are going to, but do you know the cheapest places to live in that country? Have you analysed the cost of living, the cost of transportation, the cost of rent, and the cost of food in different parts of the country? Which part of the country is the most affordable for you based on your current levels of income?
All of this information is critical to helping you budget for the first few weeks or months in your new home.
- On Culture
Another aspect you should research on comprehensively is the culture of the people that you are going to find there. Getting to know the culture beforehand will guarantee that you are able to adapt quickly to your new surroundings and how things are done in the new country. Quicker adoption means that you settle down faster, and you are able to increase your productivity, make valuable social connections, and lead a quality, fulfilling life in your new home.
- On Language
Learning the language is also an integral part of attempting to understand the predominant culture that you will find in the country that you are relocating to. You will find it much harder to acclimate to your new surroundings if you do not understand the major languages spoken there.
For instance, if you were planning a Relocation to Switzerland, your research would have already showed you that the main languages spoken here are French, Italian, and German. Hence, it would be prudent to familiarise yourself with at least two of these languages so as to minimise any communication barriers that you may encounter in the country.
- Save enough
With all of the information that you have gathered from your research, you should have a good idea of how much money you will need in order to meet your basic needs for the first few months of your stay. Whether or not you will have a job when you arrive, it is important that you carry more than enough savings with you to ensure that you are comfortable in your new home.
It is advisable to begin saving at least a year before you embark on the permanent relocation. By the time you are moving, you should have enough to cater for the move, your air ticket, your rent for the first few months, as well your food, clothing, utility and transport costs. This money should be able to cover all of these needs until you are fully settled in your new home, and you are guaranteed of a regular income.
Taking care of these two aspects in preparation for your residence relocation will make the process much easier and more exciting for you.
