- Severe throbbing pain
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Visual disturbance, called aura, and light and sound sensitivity
- Irritability, nausea, and congestion
- Scalp tenderness
- Episodes lasting from several hours to days
Some may experience severe migraines that involve all of the above symptoms, while others may not.
- Hormonal changes
- Lifestyle triggers, such as stress and change in sleep patterns
- Alcohol consumption
- Changes in environment
- Certain medications
Migraine treatment must be tailored to each individual. During the patient evaluation, the medical provider will gather detailed information about the history and nature of the migraine episodes as well as information about lifestyle, activity level, medication use, diet, and sleep patterns, etc. Treatments can include a variety of interventions including manual therapy, diet or lifestyle modification, therapeutic exercise or other strategies.

MADISON — Capitalizing on its natural amenities, the Swedish business community is rolling out the red carpet to beef up its tourism industry.
"For Sweden, our relationship with Madison is very important for many reasons, primarily because, for us, Madison is the gateway to the world's biggest market," said Lasse Sjoberg, a freelance business journalist who moved to Madison with his family two years ago.
Next month, a small delegation of Mississippians will tour Sweden, including stops in Solleftea and Stockholm.
"We want to establish exclusive tours to Sweden, beginning with Mississippi, and eventually marketing the entire U.S.," said Sjoberg. "Many people claim we have the best salmon fishing in the world, even better than in Alaska. We have big bird and moose hunting, which is exciting to hunters."
Sjoberg said the biggest draw might be Solleftea's ski resorts.
"Last winter, we were skiing in Steamboat Springs, Colo., and it was fantastic, but I've grown up with skiing," Sjoberg said. "However, if I lived in Madison and had never skied, I'd be shocked to see thousands of skiers and long lines. In our hometown of Solleftea, we have a very nice ski area, not crowded, and you can hire a private ski instructor for less than $12 an hour. It's a perfect place to learn how to ski without the pressure and anxiety from crowds."
The primary reason Sweden is promoting the tourism industry now? Buying power, Sjoberg said.
"The U.S. dollar is so strong compared to the Swedish kronor," he said.
"In the late 1970s, when I traveled around the U.S. with a backpack, it cost 4.25 Swedish kronor to buy a dollar. Today, it costs 9.5 Swedish kronor to buy a dollar. The buying power in Sweden provides opportunities to encourage business relations."
Bill Bryan, president of Bryan Tours of Jackson, and one of the owners and officers of MTS, parent company of Bryan Tours, said he's taking the trip because it provides "a new opportunity to experience tourism in an innovative way."
"I've been in the travel business for 35 years and have always tried to be one of the first to tour new frontiers," Bryan said. "As a travel agent, it gives me a good business edge."
Bryan, who hosts a 30-minute call-in show every Tuesday night on SuperTalk 97.3 FM in Jackson, plans to broadcast the weekly show from Sweden on Tuesday, March 13. The radio signal broadcasts throughout Mississippi, and the Web site broadcasts worldwide.
Swedish business leaders opted to focus on travel and tourism after two garrisons, or army bases, closed, and new jobs in private industry were needed, Sjoberg said.
"The army has traditionally been a big employer in Solleftea, but in 1994, the first one shut down, and in 2000, the second one shut down," he said. "The easiest way to create new jobs in the private sector quickly is in the tourist industry. Besides, we have so much to offer that is attractive to Americans. For example, in the summer, when it's 107 degrees in Mississippi, and the humidity makes it seem even hotter, it's 75 degrees in Solleftea, which is a dry climate. It's a very nice alternative."
In June, the 4th annual Swedish-American Business Congress, geared toward economic development, will be held in Sweden. Pleasure items on the agenda: playing golf in the midnight sun.
"We have 24-hour daylight then," Sjoberg said.
Last May, about 200 attendees, including 104 Swedish delegates, met at the third annual Swedish-American Business Congress at the Jackson Hilton and Convention Center in Jackson.
In 1998, when Solleftea and Madison officially formed a sister city relationship, about 150 people attended the inaugural Congress.
In 1999, 56 Mississippi delegates, including mayors from Jackson, Madison, Oxford and Weir, traveled to Sweden for the second annual congress.
Swedish-American relations have prospered lately. Last month, Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA) announced that it will boost its North American presence by acquiring two divisions totaling more than $1 billion — a commercial-tissue unit from Georgia-Pacific Corp. for $850 million and a packaging company from Tuscarora Inc. for $230 million. Timber is Sweden's biggest export industry.
Last month, Global Outreach International of Tupelo, an interdenominational mission organization with operations in several countries, toured the Galsjo Foundry, an iron mill founded in 1703 and currently owned by the Church of Sweden.
Last year, the church officially separated from the state, and Sweden is selling Galsjo Foundry, now a conference center, which is one of three estates owned by the diocese in Solleftea's province.
"We didn't have a Christian organization large enough in Madison, but we found Global Outreach in Tupelo, which has knowledge and experience of overseas missions," said Phil Walker, pastor of Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Madison. "If this works out, we (Madison churches) plan to be very involved."
Randy Von Kanel, executive vice president of Global Outreach International, confirmed that representatives surveyed the property as a possible ministry center.
"We're looking for the finances to purchase it and to provide early support for operations," he said.
Sjoberg said if the deal goes through, "it will open up even more communication between Sweden and Mississippi."
On March 1, the first Swedish company, JOINTECH, makers of expansion joints for bridges and parking lots, will open in the 9,000-square-foot incubator building in the Madison Business Park.
Operated by Mississippi-Scandinavian Enterprise (MSE), the incubator building is designed to house up to 12 companies at one time. The program will serve as a transitional station for established Swedish companies to test market products in the U.S. before making larger financial commitments.
Several Swedish companies, plus a couple of Norwegian companies, are seriously considering leasing space in the incubator, Sjoberg said.
"We were fortunate to have the owner of JOINTECH choose Madison because he had originally decided to locate his business in Texas," he said. "He had heard about Solleftea's relationship with Madison, so before he signed anything, he decided to take a look. At first, he was skeptical, but it didn't take long to turn him around after he realized this was the perfect place for his business."
Because Sweden played a key role in the automotive industry — Volvo and Saab originated in Sweden — Swedish companies are looking at roles as suppliers to the Nissan plant being built near Canton, Sjoberg said.
"Americans have bought most of our companies, but with our connections, Sweden has a number of suppliers, and I think there will be companies from the Swedish car industry that will try to attract business," he said.
Roughly 80 German companies, most with automotive ties, are located between the South Carolina cities of Greenville and Spartanburg, where economic developers have developed a niche market similar to what could happen with Mississippi and Scandinavian cities.
To keep Swedish companies abreast of the latest developments, Sjoberg publishes MSE News, a monthly newsletter that reaches more than 500 business and community leaders.
In developing the sister city relationship, language has not been a barrier. Instead, it has been an advantage for Swedes, Sjoberg said.
"It is compulsory for all Swedes to learn English, beginning in the fourth grade," Sjoberg said. "In the seventh grade, schoolchildren choose a second foreign language to learn — either French or German.
When they reach high school, students must choose a third foreign language. That's man
ry. We are modest enough to realize that if we try to travel the world only knowing Swedish, we won't be very successful."
Swedish parents are encouraged to send their children to study abroad, Sjoberg said.

#Hater (Hashtag #2) by Cambria Hebert
Publication Date: January 10th, 2015
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Pages: 492
Format: ebook
Source: Bought
Read: August 17th to 18th, 2015
It started with unspoken animosity. The bitter bite of jealousy. And now its full blown hate.
It was during my first football game that I first felt the first chill of hate. I looked it right in the eyes and felt its sticky tentacles reach out for me. I'd never experienced something so cold and empty before.
The effect of that look lingered, like an unspoken promise, long after it was gone.
Becoming a couple – becoming the other half of a campus celebrity wasn't easy. I let down walls guarding my heart and he looked past my glasses and accident prone tendencies. Romeo and I are an unlikely match, a #nerd and a jock. But we made it.
And we're happy.
Zach doesn't want us to be happy. He wants Romeo to pay for getting him kicked out of Omega and for the night he spent in jail. He's going to use anything and everything he can to get his revenge. Including me.
As the weather on campus grows cold and the days become dark, revenge becomes the center of someone's life and the happiness Romeo and I worked so hard for is threatened.
I can't help but worry that our love is going to be overshadowed by hate.

~My Thoughts~
Oh my god, Cambria you're killing me but in a good way! That ending, ugh, you sure know how to pull my heart strings this way and that way. I'm happy things turned out okay but at the same time they didn't and I'm dying to get to #Player! I need to get to it as soon as possible, I need to know what happens next!!
But I'm getting ahead of myself.....
Haters gonna hate and Zach sure is hating big time. He will literally do whatever it takes to get back at Romeo (Spoiler if you haven't read #Nerd) for getting him in trouble with the Dean and helping him lose his President status at the frat house he's in. And the best way to get back at Romeo is to hurt the one he loves, Rimmel. Oh Rimmel, my heart is breaking for you! I just want to give her a hug and tell her everything will be okay.....
So much drama happens because of Zach and gah, I just want to punch him! I know when Romeo did, I'm sure it felt great! Seriously, one thing after another, he is truly the perfect villain.
But there was so much more than just drama, there was pure romance and that scene where Rimmel saw Romeo get tackled for the first time I was seriously swooning. I was on cloud nine after that scene and even more invested in this story then I already was.
Ivy sighed. "I want to be a nerd."
Romeo's and Rimmel's relationship develops even more and I just couldn't get enough! We also got a little more details about Rimmel's mother's death, that flashback of her finding her mother in the pool......it was absolutely heartbreaking. Plus, Rimmel and Romeo's mom are finally getting along until something turns up at the end, ruining everything. Another reason why I need to get to #Player!
Just.....wow. I'm just so in love with this series! I just devour these books! I'm so much like Rimmel and I love that she's this "#Nerd". And certain situations/conversations between Romeo and Rimmel remind me of certain situations/conversations between me and my hubby, so it makes me fall even more in love that I found my "Jock".
Overall I'm absolutely smitten by #Hater as I was with #Nerd, serious case of book hangover whenever I finish a Hashtag book! Sigh, I did not want it to end and have to leave this world! All I have to say is bravo to you, Cambria! Thank you for writing such a sweet romance with relatable characters and with an awesome villain that sure knows how to make things even more interesting!
Sweet Readings Everybody!

The Bushwakker Brewpub was created on the main floor of the Strathdee Building, a classic warehouse in what is known now as Regina's Old Warehouse District. The area contains many restaurants, nightclubs, bars and pool halls. The Strathdee was built in 1913 out of the rubble of the Great Regina Cyclone (actually a tornado) of 1912, on the site of a former Chinese laundry, and opened in 1914. It was the "cadillac" warehouse of the area. The front of the main floor housed offices and a display area, with a beautiful pressed tin ceiling. The ceiling was restored to its original glory as part of the Bushwakker development.
Bushwakker todayThe decor is in earth tones with light to medium natural wood finishes. The visitor does not forget that he/she is in a restored warehouse. The walls are decorated with dozens of pictures showing the historical development of Regina, including the aftermath of the Great Cyclone. One wall is devoted to the works of a Saskatchewan artist of the month. The brewhouse is visible through large windows.
The Bushwakker Brewpub has 9 regular beers (brewed year round), 20 seasonal beers (brewed only at certain times of the year) and a specialty mead. As well the Bushwakker Brewpub menu has a diverse dining selection as well as seasonal choices. Bushwakker also serves some of the finest single malt scotch, 100% blue agave tequilas and specialty imported European beers available.

In 2015, the UK government announced new requirements for secure English language testing for visa and immigration purposes. These requirements reduced the number of tests on the UK Home Office list of Secure English Language Tests (SELT).
Since the 6 April 2015, IELTS for UKVI (IELTS is jointly managed by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English), and a new test called IELTS Life Skills are the only Cambridge English exams included on the UK government list of Secure English Language Tests.
IELTS for UKVI and IELTS Life Skills tests for visa purposes must be taken in an approved test centre.
Find a UKVI-approved IELTS test centre
Most students applying for degree-level university study or higher (e.g. undergraduate and postgraduate) do not need to take a SELT. This is because the new SELT arrangements do not apply to applicants for Tier 4 student visas who are applying to study at degree level (or higher) at most UK universities and colleges. They also do not apply for applicants from the European Union, European Economic Area, Switzerland or 'majority English speaking countries' as defined by the UK Home Office. Find out which Cambridge English exams can be used for UK university applications.
To find out whether you need to take an approved test (SELT), what level you need to achieve, and which exam you can use, contact UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), or the British Embassy or High Commission in your country.
For visa and immigration applications to the UK, you may need to take an English language qualification which is included on the Home Office's list of Secure English Language Tests (often referred to as SELT tests). The UK government has announced new requirements for secure English language testing for visa and immigration purposes. These requirements reduce the number of tests on the SELT list. IELTS for UKVI and our new test IELTS Life Skills are both included on this revised list. IELTS for UKVI and IELTS Life Skills are ideal tests for UK visas and immigration purposes. They are designed to ensure that candidates have the skills they need for success in an English speaking environment, and that they can use the language effectively in a wide range of different contexts.
IELTS Life Skills is for candidates who only need to demonstrate Speaking and Listening skills, at levels A1 or B1 of the CEFR.
Most students applying for degree-level study or higher (e.g. undergraduate and postgraduate courses) do not need to take a SELT, but instead have to meet the English language requirements of the institution they apply to. Almost all UK universities accept C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency for entrance purposes.
If you are applying for a Tier 4 student visa you will still be able to use your Cambridge English certificate under the following conditions:

The following table shows the approved Secure English Language Tests offered by Cambridge English and the IELTS test partners.
IELTS for UKVI – 5.5 overall, and for each of the four skills
Other Cambridge English exams can also be used at this level of study at Tier 4 Sponsor universities3
1Both General and Academic Training modules are accepted. The CEFR requirement for each skill must be met.
2IELTS for UKVI can be used where IELTS Life Skills is used; candidates would need to get 4.0 or above in Speaking and Listening (scores for Reading and Writing will be ignored).
3Universities on UKVI's list of Tier 4 Sponsors decide which exams to accept when a SELT is not required, and these may include C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency.
4From 01 May 2017. For those on the 5-year route to settlement. Exemptions apply to partners of members of HM Forces, 10-year partner and parent routes, and partners granted leave under Part 8 of the Immigration Rules.
5From 12 November 2015, you can no longer use a result from a Cambridge English exam for Citizenship (naturalisation). From 19 November 2015, you can no longer use a result from a Cambridge English exam for Indefinite Leave to Remain (to settle). We strongly recommend taking IELTS for UKVI or IELTS Life Skills for these purposes.

Welcome to Little Vintage Style, a place to show off your sweet little ones wearing vintage! Link up every Wednesday, and make sure to click around and say 'hello!' to all of the other vintage lovin' mamas like you!
Hi, I'm Kelli from urban moppets and I'm so excited to be visiting today. I love the vintage fashion trend and I guess you could say that I'm a little vintage myself ! Yes, I have 3 grown children, 5 grands between 16 mos and 7 yrs, and a 5 year old daughter! I have always been a little obsessed with children's fashion and have been sewing since I was young. I made a lot of clothes for my older kids when they were little and actually saved several of their favorite outfits from back then, both homemade and bought. I never expected to have another little one wearing them as vintage clothes years later but it is a lot of fun to see my five year old daughter and even my grand children in them. My Moppet loves wearing anything that her older sisters wore when they were little!
This little blue romper was not made by me but was a favorite of mine back then so I hung onto it for some reason. My moppet loves this one and calls it her "acrobat suit". I don't have a clue where that idea came from!
My granddaughter is wearing the yellow gingham dress and pinafore outfit. It has a matching bloomers and a bonnet but she didn't want anything to do with the bonnet! I made it for her mommy when she was a baby! I'm so glad that I kept these things, it's great to see them being worn again.
I have also started sewing some vintage inspired clothes for the littles in my life. This pink cape was made from vintage curtains that belonged to my husband's mother and trimmed with lace from one of her antique tablecloths that had some damage to it. The blue floral wrap dress was made from vintage pattern from 1958 and the fabric has been in my stash for over 20 years. I have some other vintage patterns that I can't wait to get started on!
Thanks so much for letting me stop by today Stacy….I love your vintage style and your little moppets are adorable! Please stop by my blog and enter my first giveaway!
Thanks Kelli, how fun to get to see your favorite clothes worn again! If you'd like, grab a button on the sidebar and link up below...

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
Njrit! Gak tau kenapa, dari tadi malem lagu Daniel Bedingfield yang ini 'nyala' terus di kepala saya. Siyal.

This year has been a transition point for my life. Last year, I had a drastic change when my husband died. In some ways, there is a new freedom. During other times, I realize that I'm much more constrained. There was a lot of freedom in being a married woman and simply having another warm body in the house.
The other day as I walked down my street, a man I never met called out my name. Shocked, I turned and realized that even though we have been distant neighbors for many years, we had never met; but this person knew my name and was bold enough to yell at me. Surprised, I smile, waved and quickly moved away. My thoughts were Yipes! This is unpleasant. Okay, now what? Do I stop walking down this street?
Because of this whole transition, I've yearned to know where the Lord is leading for the next years. I believe some things are settled. My work within the mentally challenged community through Special Gathering will be ongoing. However, the fringe exercise and direction of my activity in this ministry is always in question.
During this time, I received some "words from the Lord" from several interesting places. First, came a dream that I didn't understand. I shared it in front of a large group because I felt that the Lord wanted me to share it. (By the way, I always advise people to never share their dreams in a crowd. Dreams reveal a great deal about you.) My good and trusted friend told me what the dream meant. She said I was planning to drop a portion of my ministry; and I must not do that because it was having a wide ranging effect. I had planned to drop somethings that I felt were not beneficial but very time consuming.
Later, as I pondered dropping a different portion of my ministry, another friend said that the Lord was telling her that even though I was thinking about dropping somethings, I should not do this. Through my friend, the Lord said that this too was much more effective than I knew. She hesitantly shared this during a prayer session.
God often speaks through a prophetic word to our hearts when it comes to direction. The key is that we should be listening. To tell the truth, I was not at all pleased with these two messages. The things I wanted to drop have been hard work and I like results as much as anyone else. The results I see are barely accountable.
Over the past few months, even after these clear messages from the Lord, I tried to rationalize why I should not continue doing this work. However, there was no way these two friends could've known my heart-plans because I had shared them with no one–only the Lord.
Clearly, not everything that people tell us is from God. When God speaks to us, it should be a confirmation of what you already know or the answer to a question that we are actually asking. Therefore, if a neighbor yells your name out of the blue, giving you a message that does not apply to your life, then you should smile and move away as quickly as possible. This message is probably not from the Lord.
Where am I? is a question that we ask in many situations. The question may not mean that we are lost; but simply in transition. We feel the need for more secure boundaries in our life. God will supply the answers for us and most of time it is through godly men and women we know and trust.

Reading A-Z resources organized into weekly content-based units and differentiated instruction options.
Improve reading speed and accuracy with repeated readings of Fluency Practice Passages. Students orally read
passages designed for one-minute readings several times with appropriate expression and smoothness to
increase reading rate, resulting in improved focus on comprehension. View our Fluency Standards Table for additional information
about recommended reading rates.
Fluency is a key foundational skill that helps students read complex text with greater
understanding. When students read with accuracy and expression at an appropriate reading rate,
their fluency supports their comprehension. Repeated reading practice with short passages
improves word recognition and automaticity.
Passages are provided from Levels F to Z and are original fiction or nonfiction text that can be used
for one-on-one reading, independent timed reading, or partner timed reading.
You will need:
Administer a one-minute reading, starting the stopwatch when the student begins the first word of the passage
(the student will not read titles). Tell the student that if she or he has trouble (struggling for more than 3 to 5 seconds),
you will say the word so she or he can keep reading. After one minute, say "Stop," stop the stopwatch, and circle
the last word read.
During the reading, resist the urge to correct mistakes. Mistakes and self-correction will be accounted for in the score.
If the student has extreme difficulty, stop the test. Reassure the student that she or he will redo the assessment after
further reading practice. You should select a lower level passage for the next assessment.
Follow along on your copy word by word with your pencil. Make a slash ( / ) through any words the student misses or
cannot read without help. Mark a dash above words skipped. Errors include:
The following are not considered misses:
After about four to six readings, students should reach the target words correct-per-minute (WCPM) standard for their grade
level with an Accuracy/Reading Rate of 90 to 95 percent.
You may unsubscribe at any time.

By all accounts is was a lights, camera, action moment in New York for the launch of the rebranded Versace Versus with Brit, J.W Anderson at the helm. The lights, cameras and action, pointedly, of a 1600 strong avid social media crowd who move and shake with the best of them.
This launch did more than signal the movement of Versus back into clubby hipdom and a direct targeting to a burgeoning youth market, held as it was at Manhattan's Lexington Armoury and with music by Grimes, Dead Sara and Angel Haze signifying just how hipster it was. This was a deliberate global marketing signal that its moved with the times. A shift to social media to create hype and buzz as twitter feeds fueled with hashtags and twitter handles relayed that the audience was there to do more than have a good time and drink champagne. They were there to quite literally see behind the scenes, pass judgement and create a social media maelstrom to fuel resultant column inches on blogs, online mags and the dated print issues appearing next day.
As circulation figures continue to plummet (Grazia's dropped 9.2% year on year) and online editions of popular mags attempt to ape a short, sharp, newsy blog style, bite size pieces of information are viewed as the way forward. Ditto the clever brands (like Versus, Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Christian Louboutin and Burberry) who embrace key social media opinion formers and relay a complex PR strategy often starting with social media to launch their campaigns. Their success stories cannot be disputed. Who wouldn't want twitter feeds and blogs filled with up-to-date information and opinions regaling a new collection, increasing their weight in search engines and lessening the amount of £'s and $'s spent on direct advertising? Canny.
Add to the fact that blogs are still top of the ratings by readers when it comes to true and trusted opinions (not influenced by advertising revenues) that encourage direct purchases and brand affiliation.
What Donatella Versace has initiated with her new vision for Versus is more than a re-brand of the label. It is a storming of the barricades re new lines in communication, connecting with a shifting audience and effectively using her key target group of opinion followers as catalysts to publicise her brand. Now that's clever. The fact that J.W Anderson's London themed, punk tinged, sexed-up Versus collection sparked with energy was the bite back that Donatella had dreamed of.

Search Supreme Court Cases
U.S. Supreme Court
Hoffman & Co. v. Bank of Milwaukee, 79 U.S. 12 Wall. 181 181 (1870)
Hoffman & Co. v. Bank of Milwaukee
79 U.S. (12 Wall.) 181
A consignor who had been in the habit of drawing bills of exchange on his consignee with bills of lading attached to the drafts drawn (it being part of the agreement between the parties that such bills should always attend the drafts) drew bills on him with forged bills of lading attached to the drafts, and had the drafts with the forged bills of lading so attached discounted in the ordinary course of business by a bank ignorant of the fraud. The consignee, not knowing of the forgery of the bills of lading, paid the drafts. Held that there was no recourse by the consignee against the bank.
Chapin & Miles, a forwarding and commission firm in Milwaukee, were engaged in moving produce to Hoffman & Co., of Philadelphia, for sale there. The course of their business was thus: They first shipped the produce, obtaining a bill of lading therefor, to which they attached a draft drawn by them on their consignee for about the value of the grain and then negotiated the draft with bill of lading attached to some bank in Milwaukee and obtained the money.
It was understood that the draft was drawn upon the credit of the property called for by the bill of lading, and would be paid by the consignee upon receipt of the bill of lading, and -- with perhaps a single exception where the bills of lading, not being obtained during bank hours, was sent otherwise than with the draft -- the drafts were accompanied by such bills. The Philadelphia firm, however, rarely knew what flour belonged to any particular bill of lading, not being obliged by the railroad clerks at Philadelphia, where they were known, to exhibit any bill of lading in order to get the flour, and their custom being, on getting notice from the railroad office that flour had arrived for them, to pay the charges, give receipts and send their drayman for it and bring it away. It was the practice of the Milwaukee firm to advise their Philadelphia correspondents by letter of shipments made and drafts drawn, which advisements were acknowledged with a promise "to honor the drafts." When flour was "slow" in going forward, they corresponded with the Milwaukee house about it, but did not on that account refuse acceptance or payment of any bill.
Having been thus dealing for about sixteen months, Chapin & Miles drew three drafts on Hoffman & Co. in the ordinary way, and, attaching to them bills of lading which they had forged, negotiated, in the ordinary course of business, the drafts, with the forged bills of lading attached, to the City Bank of Milwaukee, getting the money for them. The bank knew nothing of the forgery of the bills of lading. The ordinary correspondence between the two houses took place. That in regard to one draft will exhibit its character.
"MILWAUKEE, February 26, 1869"
"DEAR SIRS: We ship to you today 200 bbls. 'Prairie Flour,' and draw at s't for $1,100, which please honor. Will draw for $5 only when we can, but must crowd $5 l/2 part of the time."
"Yours truly,"
"PHILADELPHIA, March 2, 1869"
"GENTLEMEN: Yours 26th ult. here. Your draft $1,100, will be paid, but we think you should try to keep them down to $5 per barrel. We advise sale of 100 Prairie at $7 and 54 at $7.25."
"Yours, respectfully,"
No flour was forwarded. The Milwaukee bank forwarded the drafts, however, with the forged bills of lading attached, to their correspondent, the Park Bank in New York, for collection. The Park Bank forwarded the same to its correspondent, the Commonwealth Bank of Philadelphia, for the same purpose, and the latter bank presented the draft and bill of lading to the drawees, Hoffman & Co., who, knowing the drafts to be genuine and not supposing that the bills of lading were otherwise, paid the drafts to the Philadelphia bank, which remitted the money back to the Park Bank to the credit of the Bank of Milwaukee.
No flour coming forward, Hoffman & Co. discovered that the bills of lading were forged, and Miles & Chapin being insolvent, they sued the Bank of Milwaukee to recover the amount paid, as above stated.
The declaration in the case contained the common counts in assumpsit, with a notice attached to the defendant
"that the action was brought to recover $3,100, money paid by the plaintiff under mistake of fact upon drafts and bills of lading (of which copies were annexed), the mistake being that the plaintiffs paid the money upon the belief that the said bills of lading were genuine instruments, whereas in fact they were forged, the amount of money paid being the amount called for by the drafts, which was paid upon the credit and inducement of the bills of lading."
Neither the name of the defendant, the Milwaukee bank, nor of any of its officers or agents, appeared in or upon the bills of lading in question, and lead it not been for extrinsic evidence, it could not have been told from those bills that the bank had had anything to do with them. Nor had the bank
lead any dealings or correspondence of any kind with the Philadelphia house, relative to the shipments of flour by Chapin & Miles, or relative to the drafts drawn by them.
On this case, the court below directed the jury to find for the hank, defendant in the case, and the plaintiff's brought the case here.
MR. JUSTICE CLIFFORD delivered the opinion of the Court.
Acceptors of a bill of exchange, by file act of acceptance, admit the genuineness of file signatures of the drawers, and the competency of the drawers to assume that responsibility. Such an act imports all engagement, on the part of the acceptor, to the payee or other lawful holder of the bill, to pay the same, if duly presented, when it becomes due, according to the tenor of the acceptance. He engages to pay the holder, whether payee or endorsee, the full amount of the bill at maturity, and if he does not, the holder has a right of action against him, and he may also have one against the drawer. Drawers of bills of exchange, however, are not
liable to the holder, under such circumstances, until it appears that the bill was duly presented, and that the acceptor refused or neglected to pay the same according to the tenor of the instrument, as their liability is contingent and subject to those conditions precedent.
Three bills of exchange, as exhibited in the record, were drawn by Chapin, Miles & Co., payable to the order of the defendants, and the record shows that they, the defendants, received and discounted the three bills at the request of the drawers. Attached to each bill of exchange was a bill of lading for two hundred barrels of flour, shipped, as therein represented, by the drawers of the bills of exchange, and consigned to the plaintiff's, and the record also shows that the drawers in each case sent a letter of advice to the consignees apprising them of the shipment, and that they would draw on them as such consignees for the respective amounts specified in the several bills of exchange. Prompt reply in each case was communicated by the plaintiffs acknowledging the receipt of the letter of advice sent by the shippers and promising to honor the bills of exchange as therein requested. Evidence was also introduced by the plaintiffs showing that the defendants endorsed the bills of exchange and forwarded the same, with the bills of lading attached, to the National Park Bank of the City of New York, their regular correspondent; that the same were subsequently endorsed by the latter bank, and forwarded to the Commonwealth Bank of Philadelphia for collection; that the Commonwealth Bank presented the bills of exchange, with the bills of lading attached, to the plaintiffs, as the acceptors, and that they paid the respective amounts as they had previously promised to do, and that the Commonwealth Bank remitted the proceeds in each case to the National Park Bank, where the respective amounts were credited to the defendants. Proof was also introduced by the plaintiffs showing that each of the bills of lading was a forgery, and that the plaintiffs, before the commencement of the suit, tendered the same and the bills of exchange to the defendants,
and that they demanded of the defendants, at the same time, the respective amounts so paid by them to the Commonwealth Bank. Payment as demanded being refused, the plaintiff brought an action of assumpsit against the defendants for money had and received, claiming to recover back the several amounts so paid as money paid by mistake, but the verdict and judgment were for the defendants, and the plaintiffs sued out a writ of error, and removed the cause into this Court. Testimony was also introduced by the defendants tending to show that the shippers were millers; that they made an arrangement with the plaintiffs to ship flour to them at Philadelphia for sale in that market, the plaintiffs agreeing that they, the shippers, might draw on them for advances on the flour, to be reimbursed out of the proceeds of the sales; that for more than a year, they had been in the habit of shipping flour to the plaintiffs under that arrangement and of negotiating drafts on the plaintiffs to the banks in that city, accompanied by bills of lading in form like those given in evidence in this case; that the drafts, with the bills of lading attached, were sent forward by the banks, where the same were discounted, and that the salve were paid by the plaintiffs; that the drawers of the drafts in every case notified the plaintiffs of the same, and that the plaintiffs, as in this case, answered the letter of advice and promised to pay the amount. They also proved that the drawers of the drafts in this case informed their cashier that the same would always be drawn upon property, and that the bills of lading would accompany the drafts, and that they bad no knowledge or intimation that the bills of lading were not genuine. Instructions were requested by the plaintiff's, that if the jury found that the respective bills of lading were not genuine, that they were entitled to recover the several amounts paid to the Commonwealth Bank, with interest; but the court refused to give the instruction as prayed, and instructed the jury that if they found the facts as shown by the defendants, the plaintiffs could not recover in the case, even though they should find that the several bills of lading were a forgery.
Money paid under a mistake of facts, it is said, may be recovered back as having been paid without consideration, but the decisive answer to that suggestion, as applied to the case before the court, is that money paid, as in this case, by the acceptor of a bill of exchange to the payee of the same, or to a subsequent endorsee, in discharge of his legal obligation as such, is not a payment by mistake nor without consideration, unless it be shown that the instrument was fraudulent in its inception, or that the consideration was illegal, or that the facts and circumstances which impeach the transaction, as between the acceptor and the drawer, were known to the payee or subsequent endorsee at the time he became the holder of the instrument. [Footnote 1]
Such an instrument, as between the payee and the acceptor, imports a sufficient consideration, and in a suit by the former against the latter the defense of prior equities, as between the acceptor and the drawer, is not open unless it be shown that the payee, at the time he became the holder of the instrument, had knowledge of those facts and circumstances.
Attempt is made in argument to show that the plaintiff's accepted the bills of exchange upon the faith and security of the bills of lading attached to the same at the time the bills of exchange were discounted by the defendants. Suppose it was so, which is not satisfactorily proved, still it is not perceived that the concession, if made, would benefit the plaintiffs, as the bills of exchange are in the usual form and contain no reference whatever to the bills of lading, and it is not pretended that the defendants bad any knowledge or intimation that the bills of lading were not genuine, nor is it pretended that they made any representation upon the subject to induce the plaintiff's to contract any such liability. They received the bills of exchange in the usual course of their business as a bank of discount and paid the full amount of the net proceeds of the same to the drawers, and it is not
even suggested that any act of the defendants, except the endorsement of the bills of exchange in the usual course of their business, operated to the prejudice of the plaintiff's or prevented them from making an earlier discovery of the true character of the transaction. On the contrary, it distinctly appears that the drawers of the bills of exchange were the regular correspondents of the plaintiffs, and that they became the acceptors of the bills of exchange at the request of the drawers of the same and upon their representations that the flour mentioned in the bills of lading had been shipped to their firm for sale under the arrangement before described.
Beyond doubt, the bills of lading gave some credit to the bills of exchange beyond what was created by the pecuniary standing of the parties to the same, but it is clear that they are not a part of those instruments, nor are they referred to either in the body of the bills or in the acceptance, and they cannot be regarded in any more favorable light for the plaintiff's than as collateral security accompanying the bills of exchange.
Sent forward, as the bills of lading were, with the bills of exchange, it is beyond question that the property in the same passed to the acceptors when they paid the several amounts therein specified, as the lien, if any, in favor of the defendants was then displaced and the plaintiffs became entitled to the instruments as the muniments of title to the flour shipped to them for sale and as security for the money which they had advanced under the arrangement between them and the drawers of the bills of exchange. Proof, therefore, that the bills of lading were forgeries could not operate to discharge the liability of the plaintiffs, as acceptors, to pay the amounts to the payees or their endorsees, as the payees were innocent holders, having paid value for the same in the usual course of business. [Footnote 2]
Different rules apply between the immediate parties to a bill of exchange -- as between the drawer and the acceptor, or between the payee and the drawer -- as the only consideration
as between those parties is that which moves from the plaintiff to the defendant, and the rule is, if that consideration fails, proof of that fact is a good defense to the action. But the rule is otherwise between the remote parties to the bill, as, for example, between the payee and the acceptor, or between the endorsee and the acceptor, as two distinct considerations come in question in every such case where the payee or endorsee became the holder of the bill before it was overdue and without any knowledge of the facts and circumstances which impeach the title as between the immediate parties to the instrument. Those two considerations are as follows: first, that which the defendant received for his liability, and, secondly, that which the plaintiff gave for his title, and the rule is well settled that the action between the remote parties to the bill will not be defeated unless there be an absence or failure of both these considerations. [Footnote 3]
Unless both considerations fail in a suit by the payee against the acceptor, it is clear that the action may be maintained, and many decided cases affirm the rule, where the suit is in the name of a remote endorsee against the acceptor, that if any intermediate holder between the defendant and the plaintiff gave value for the bill, such an intervening consideration will sustain the title of the plaintiff. [Footnote 4]
Where it was arranged between a drawer and his correspondent that the latter would accept his bills in consideration of produce to be shipped or transported to the acceptor for sale, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held, [Footnote 5] that the acceptor was bound to the payee by his general acceptance of a bill, although it turned out that the bill of lading forwarded at the same time with the bill of exchange was fraudulent, it not being shown that the payee of the bill
was privy to the fraud. Evidence was introduced in that case showing that the payee knew what the terms of the arrangement between the drawer and the payee were, but the court held that mere knowledge of that fact was not sufficient to constitute a defense, as the payee was not a party to the arrangement and was not in any respect a surety for the good faith and fair dealing of the shipper.
Failure of consideration, as between the drawer and acceptor of a bill of exchange, is no defense to an action brought by the payee against the acceptor, if the acceptance was unconditional in its terms and it appears that the plaintiff paid value for the bill, even though the acceptor was defrauded by the drawer, unless it be shown that the payee had knowledge of the fraudulent acts of the drawer before he paid such value and became the holder of the instrument. [Footnote 6]
Testimony to show that the payees were not bona fide holders of the bills would be admissible in a suit by them against the acceptors, and would constitute, it believed, a good defense, but the evidence in this case does not show that they did anything that is not entirely sanctioned by commercial usage. They discounted these bills and they had a right to present there for acceptance, and having obtained the acceptance, they have an undoubted right to apply the proceeds collected from the acceptors to their own indemnity. [Footnote 7]
Forgery of the bills of lading would be a good defense to an action on the bills if the defendants in this case had been the drawers, but they were payees and holders for value in the regular course of business, and the case last referred to, which was decided in the Exchequer Chamber, shows that such an acceptance binds the acceptor conclusively as between them and every bona fide holder for value.
Very many cases decide that the drawee of a bill of exchange is bound to know the handwriting of his correspondent,
the drawer, and that if he accepts or pays a bill in the hands of a bona fide holder for value, he is concluded by the act although the bill turns out to be a forgery. If he has accepted, he must pay, and if he has paid, he cannot recover the money back, as the money in such a case is paid in pursuance of a legal obligation as understood in the commercial law. [Footnote 8]
Difficulty sometimes arises in determining whether the plaintiff, in an action on a bill of exchange, is the immediate promisee of the defendant, or whether he is to he regarded as a remote party, but it is settled law that the payee, where he discounts the bill at the request of the drawer, is regarded as a stranger to the acceptor in respect to the consideration for the acceptance; consequently, if the acceptance is absolute in its terms and the bill is received in good faith and for value, it is no answer to an action by him that the defendant received no consideration for his acceptance or that the consideration therefor has failed; and it is immaterial in that behalf whether the bill was accepted while in the hands of the drawer and at his request, or whether it had passed into the hands of the payee before acceptance and was accepted at his request. [Footnote 9]
Certain other defenses, such as that the payments were voluntarily made, and that the title to the bills at the time the payments were made was in the National Park Bank, were also set up by the defendants, but the court does not find it necessary to examine those matters, as they are of the opinion that the payments, if made to the payees of the bills, as contended by the plaintiffs, were made in pursuance of a legal obligation and that the money cannot be recovered back.

This guide is a reference for myself on how to create a Ethernet Bonding in Linux, 'bonding' is connecting two (or more) physical ethernet interfaces together to look and act as a single interface under Linux
Bonding is a computer networking arrangement in which two or more network interfaces on a host computer are combined for redundancy or increased throughput.
mode=0 (Balance-rr) – This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
mode=1 (active-backup) – This mode provides fault tolerance.
mode=2 (balance-xor) – This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
mode=3 (broadcast) – This mode provides fault tolerance.
mode=4 (802.3ad) – This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
mode=5 (balance-tlb) – Prerequisite: Ethtool support in the base drivers for retrieving the speed of each slave.
mode=6 (Balance-alb) – Prerequisite: Ethtool support in the base drivers for retrieving the speed of each slave.
This example assumes you have two interfaces and want to use them in a 'fail-over' setup, where if one cable dies, the kernel will automatically switch to using the other cable.. This setup is quite common on server hardware.
In /etc/modules.conf on a 2.4.x kernel, or in /etc/modprobe. on a 2.6.x kernel, the /etc/modprobe.conf has been deprecated in RedHat / CentOS 6, the process of bonding network interfaces has changed a bit.
Now instead of defining your bond in your /etc/modprobe.conf, you define it in /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf
We'll be using mode=6 (Balance-alb)
Append the following onto the end out your modprobe config file
#vi /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf
Alias bond0 bonding
Options bond0 mode=6 miimon=100
You need the following files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ :
ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 should look similar to the following:
The DEVICE= section should reflect the interface the file relates to (ifcfg-eth1 should have DEVICE=eth1). The MASTER= section should indicate the bonded interface to be used. Assign both ethernet devices to bond0.
The bond0 file contains the actual IP address information:
Simply restarting the network service 'service network restart' should present you with a new 'bond0' interface. This is the interface you should see traffic going in and out of if youwere to tcpdump the interface.
You will also notice (using /sbin/ifconfig) that all of the ethX interfaces are also up, and also have IP addresses.
In this example, we are using the fail-over mode. The eth device without NOARP is the current active SLAVE. You may notice that both ethX interfaces have high traffic counters. This is because the system has been up for around 200 days and at some point the interfaces swapped status.

4G and 4G+ networks employ a type of waveform called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) as the fundamental element in the physical layer (PHY). In fact, almost all modern communication networks are built on OFDM because OFDM improved data rates and network reliability significantly by taking advantage of multi-path a common artifact of wireless transmissions. However as time and demands progress, OFDM technology suffers from out-of-band spectrum regrowth resulting in high side lobes that limit spectral efficiency. In other words, network operators cannot efficiently use their available spectrum because two users on adjacent channels would interfere with one another. OFDM also suffers from high peak-to-average ratio of the power amplifier, resulting in lower battery life of the mobile device. To address OFDM deficiencies, researchers are investigating alternative methods including generalized frequency division multiplexing, filter bank multi-carrier, and universal filter multi-carrier. Researchers speculate that using one of these approaches over OFDM may improve network capacity by 30 percent or more while improving the battery life for all mobile devices."

Brooks Wheelan released his debut album this year, featuring his absurdest and ridiculous humor. The man who fired from SNL proves he's a great stand up with a strong and unique voice. A highlight occurs when he relays his failed sketch pitches for SNL, which are fascinating and hysterical all at the same time.
Nate Bargatze's second album following YELLED AT BY A CLOWN might be even stronger than his first. The album shares the same title as his one-hour Comedy Central special, where he discusses his issues as a potential time-traveler, pranking his friend at McDonald's, and getting catfished. Nate is a skilled verbal comic, more so than a physical comic, due to his storytelling style, so this album is a great listen. It well-captures the skills of one of the strongest comics today who will soon be a household name.
This album from Kyle Kinane, the voice of Comedy Central in case you didn't know, showcases his positive view on life, which separates him from a lot of comedians. In this latest hour of work, he's stepped up from him scumbaginess and shows growth as a person and a comedian. He's one of the few comics working today who can describe himself as happy and use that as a well to draw from for his unique, hilarious material.
Eddie Pepitone is one-of-a-kind. Many new fans might have learned about his greatness from the Netflix documentary THE BITTER BUDDHA. This album showcases Eddie doing stand-up, where he is most at home. He skillfully launches into characters in bits like Blue Collar Lounge Singing, Reporting Live, and the Price of the Iraq War, a hilarious spin on the Price Is Right and the hidden costs of Iraq. Eddie also gives his take on hockey fights and magicians. He has rage, but it's never off-putting, only endearing, a rarity for any comic and one of the things that makes him unique.
Jay Mohr's HAPPY AND A LOT. was written by his wife, Nikki Cox, which may have been a comedy first. Mohr said she wrote the special, and he performed it, and was excited to give her the credit for writing the album which also aired as a Showtime Special. The album is groundbreaking for Jay who is as funny as ever, and through "Happy. And a Lot." shows that funny doesn't have to come from misery. Jay takes on topics like similar hates, the ridiculousness of phobias, and deconstructs the idea of something being "so bad its good" plus one of the funniest stories we've ever heard, and it involves palliative care marijuana, Las Vegas, and Liberace.
BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD showcases a new Lisa Lampanelli who has been through some major life changes prior to recording the album. She bills the album as "brand new body, same old cunt" but not much is the same for Lampanelli here. Her spiritual evolution and physical transformation are all topics in her latest, most revealing special. Lampanelli turns her sharp critical eye on herself, talking about her surgery, her divorce, her pussy, everything is coming out. Taped at the Music Hall in Tarrytown New York, the album also aired as a special on EPIX.
Sam Morril had a big year in 2015, landing his own Comedy Central Half-Hour, destroying in his second Conan appearance, as well as releasing his first comedy album. CLASS ACT features Sam live at the Village Underground in New York, where Sam has risen the ranks as one of the best joke-writers working today. His first album showcases Sam at his best, with jokes about racism, homophobia, sex, and epic stories about the subway and his father.
This album is an audio-release of Aziz's Netflix special of the same name. It features Aziz breaking down online dating, texting, and in-depth bits on the idea of marriage, proposing, and the prospect of spending your life with someone. Aziz is one of the most popular stand-ups today, selling out Madison Square Garden. The material on this album was a big step towards Aziz reaching that level that few comics ever hit.
Mike Recine made a name for himself as a finalist in the New York's Funniest competition. He has also appeared on Conan and his first album, UNION DELEGATE, shows that the New York comedian is a rising star. Recine's material is perfectly-plotted and subtly-delivered. His bits about wanting to be the funniest dad, how tough it would be to teach your kid about sex, and the potential disagreements when he's an out-of-touch grandfather are all hilarious and each one alone makes the album worth a listen.
Stelling's sophomore album is a marked improvement over her first release, and a breakthrough album for the rising comedy star. Taped at her home club, Chicago's Beat Kitchen, in front of a home town crowd, Stelling really shines here. On the new album, Stelling is blunt, and unafraid to tackle some dark topics. Her relationship with her mother takes center stage throughout the album, taking on topics that include her mother's hysterectomy (her childhood home- gone), wifi passwords, her own plans regarding motherhood, and more hilariously disturbing thoughts. Stelling's known for her uncanny ability to take darkness and turn it into comedy and as terrific as this album is, we know she has even greater things coming down the pike. Expect to see her on our Best Of lists again and again.

Nevada Department of TransportationHome Menu
Automated and Connected Vehicles
Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is leveraging emerging technologies such as Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV) to ensure the best investments are made for the mobility and safety of its residents—keeping all of Nevada Safe and Connected.
What is a Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV)? Are Connected Vehicles (CVs) and Automated Vehicles (AVs) Different?
Automated Vehicles (AVs) use information from radar, laser light, Global Positioning System (GPS), odometry, and computer vision to detect their surroundings. The vehicles can "sense" the road and everything around them. These vehicles operate in isolation from other vehicles.
Connected Vehicles (CVs) communicate and share vital transportation information to other vehicles, roads and infrastructure. Communications systems provide a 360-degree awareness of nearby vehicles—connecting the vehicle to its surroundings. These vehicles are not automated.
A Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) leverages a combination of on-vehicle sensors and connectivity with other vehicles and infrastructure.
Nevada is a Pioneer for Bringing Innovation to Reality
Nevada became the first state in the US to implement regulations to encourage CAV technology growth—establishing Nevada as a national leader in testing, licensing, and regulating autonomous and connected vehicles on states' roads. In addition to this cutting-edge leadership, all government entities within the state (governor, state, county, city) are completely united to work together to continue to lead the nation in the testing of CAV technology. Nevada understands policy, partnerships, collaboration, and innovation.
What are the Benefits of CAV Technology?
- Improve Public Safety: Fewer conflicts and crashes will lead to improved passenger and pedestrian safety.
- Alter the Need for Future Long-term Capacity Projects: Self-driving cars may reduce the need for building future road capacity projects
- Reliable Travel Time The ability to constantly monitor traffic will substantially reduce uncertainty in travel times via real-time, predictive assessment of travel times on all routes
- Improved Mobility for the Elderly, Disabled and Youth: Driverless vehicles could be the conduit to provide needed transportation to those who currently have difficulties with mobility
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Reduced energy consumption in at least three ways: more efficient driving; lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles; and reduced carbon emissions
- New Models for Vehicle Ownership: Self-driving vehicles could lead to a major redefinition of vehicle ownership and expand opportunities for vehicle sharing
- New Business Models and Scenarios: CAV technology will blur the lines between public and private industries, creating an emphasis on collaboration and Nevada's unified mission of showcasing transportation innovation bringing new jobs and:
- ENABLE new business to come to Nevada
- EMPOWER appropriate regulations
- ENTICE community benefits creating a safe system for all users
Smart and Connected Nevada Projects
As CAV initiatives are prioritized by a growing number of agencies, smart and connected projects in Nevada are quickly emerging. A growing list of projects which NDOT is collaborating with other partner agencies include:
Northern Nevada Intelligent Mobility Living Lab: NDOT is collaborating with Northern Nevada Intelligent Mobility Living Lab as they begin to investigate and learn how to use "big data" to contribute to new ideas, technology, and systems. Fraunhofer, a world-renowned research institute from Germany, is involved in this research initiative. For the initial effort, UNR researchers are using RTC-Washoe state-of-the-art electric buses that are fully instrumented with several systems to sense, gather and integrate a range of data. Researchers and partners will test, develop and refine technologies aimed at making transportation more efficient, sustainable and safe.
WayCare: WayCare has developed a predictive analytics platform to harnesses vast amounts of in-vehicle data combined with municipal and state traffic data to optimize emergency services response and to enable proactive allocation of resources. Because the platform is a cloud-based solution, for the first time, all agencies participating in the program can communicate seamlessly with one another through the platform – this has proven to be instrumental in improving the quality of our service to traffic incidents. NDOT, alongside RTC and NHP, are working with WayCare to improve traffic safety and reduce traffic crashes and congestion in Nevada.
Audi Countdown to Green: Las Vegas became the first region to connect its traffic signal network to vehicles when Audi launched its Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technology. This launch is the first step in connecting vehicles to intelligent traffic signal infrastructure and is the first step for an autonomous future. The two-way communication with traffic lights and traffic cameras will help identify better routes and traffic incidents on valley roadways. Several models in Audi's 2017 lineup were equipped with the Time-to-Green feature, a cloud-connected countdown timer for red lights, displayed on the instrument panel and heads-up display. Basically, it alerts the driver of how fast he or she needs to drive to continue to get a green light or what their anticipated wait time at the red light would be. This type of connection to NDOT's traffic signal network provides NDOT's traffic management center with real-time anonymous traffic signal timing data to improve mobility and better manage congestion on crowded roadways.
Nexar: Working with the innovative mobility and safety startup, Nexar, Nevada is the first statewide launch of Nexar's vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) network through its smart-phone app that provides drivers with real-time alerts to prevent vehicle, cyclist, and pedestrian collisions. The app records video outside of a vehicle and measures vehicle dynamics related to speed, braking, and turns. Warnings from adjacent vehicles are communicated to drivers by way of the app.
Nevada will launch the "Nexar Safest Driver Competition" to support NDOT's Zero Fatalities goal of eliminating fatalities on Nevada roadways. This is an app-based safe driving competition that scores participants' driving. Through the Safe Driving competition, NDOT will use technology to both encourage safe driving and harvest big data that will help continue innovation in Nevada.
Integrating Mobile Observations Project Connected Snowplows: In a phased partnership between US DOT, NDOT, UNR and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, NDOT tested various communications methods connected to snowplows in the Lake Tahoe Region and Valley between Reno and Carson City to help manage the transportation system ahead of and during adverse weather events.
A Hybrid Communications Platform was developed where vehicles communicate with each other and roadside units via DSRC (short range communication devices) and/or cellular back to the Nevada Data Exchange using a standard developed with the Traffic Management Data Dictionary. During heavy snow conditions, these plows are deployed to conduct normal snow removal operations. During these operations, the plows would collect and analyze data from Nevada's RWIS and other data sources to maintain plow safety, and provide information to motorists through DMS, traffic apps, and vehicle heads-up displays. A web interface incorporates real-time local, national, and mobile weather data and makes recommendations about roadway treatments and timing.
WAZE: WAZE has implemented a new traffic light reporting feature on their app that NDOT is reviewing for effectiveness. WAZE has created an automated process to receive and send notices to NDOT traffic experts. On average, 10 notifications per week are received. The NDOT team is evaluating data received from WAZE and comparing it to data they receive from signal detection alerts, performance data and the FAST issues log. This information will be used to strategize how to make the WAZE data as useful as possible to the public and to quantify benefits of the program.
Nevada agencies have partnered and are actively involved in the promotion of CAV initiatives. Each of these agencies bring a unique perspective based on their respective roles within Nevada. Representatives from each of these agencies have been involved in discussions related to CAV activities and moving forward, and each will play a pivotal role in leading and supporting the key functional activities needed to further CAV initiatives.
NDOT has been at the forefront of establishing policies and coordinating with state and federal legislators to develop and deploy CAV test policies. NDOT has also been coordinating with other state transportation departments and national transportation agencies to bring best practices to Nevada. Here are a few other agencies leading the way:
- Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) (http://www.diversifynevada.com/)
- Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) (http://www.dmvnv.com/)
- Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County (RTCWashoe) (https://www.rtcwashoe.com/)
- Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (https://www.rtcsnv.com/)
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long will it take before I see these cars in my dealership? The automotive industry as well as equipment suppliers have indicated that they will have vehicles ready for full automation within the next 3 years.
- How much will this technology increase the cost of a new car? Based on preliminary information, the industry estimates the Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) equipment and supporting communications functions (including a security management system) for an autonomous vehicle would cost approximately an additional $341 to $350 per vehicle in 2020. These costs would also include an additional $9 to $18 per year in fuel costs due to added vehicle weight from the V2V system.
- Will connected vehicles help pedestrians? Absolutely. Connected vehicles will provide benefits that extend beyond drivers to include pedestrians as well as travelers using public transportation.
- Will connected vehicles help me to avoid traffic and get me where I need to be on time? YES! Connected vehicles promise to provide benefits in improved mobility and efficiency of our nation's transportation system.
- Why is NDOT supporting CAV Programs? Vehicles that can partially or completely drive on their own are becoming a reality—in Nevada and all over the world. This is anticipated to provide significant potential for safety, convenience, accessibility, and quality of life benefits. Auto manufacturers' production pace of Connected and Automated Vehicles is rapidly increasing, making now the time to plan strategies and look at new possibilities and opportunities for transforming transportation in Nevada to accommodate this emerging technology.

Reaction to the HHS rule regarding requiring businesses (including religious-related businesses) that offer prescription drug coverage to cover birth control as part of that has been interesting. There seems to be a real split in how the issue is framed:
For liberals, this is about fair access to important medicine – contraception is vital to the ability of a woman to control her own life, and access to it shouldn't be dependent on the personal feelings of the woman's employer.
For conservatives and the Catholic Church, this is about the religious freedom from government overreach – businesses should not to be forced by the government to offer health care that they find morally objectionable (this framing was brought full to the front in this morning's Congressional hearing, in which Rep. Issa called no women to a debate on the rules because he considers women's birth control access incidental to the rules).
Let's look more at that second notion:
Imagine there were a racist business owner who truly and deeply felt that mixed-race marriages were a moral evil. Should that business owner be allowed to exclude from his company's health and prescription services any care for the children that result from mixed-race marriages?
In this case, the owner has a religious objection to race mixing and doesn't feel that he should be forced to offer health care to cover the birth and later health costs of such children.
Does this owner have a point under the principles being stated? Does the government have any role in determining whether this behavior is legal and acceptable? Can the government force a racist business to treat his employees fairly in this case?
Would government action in this case be creating an exclusive 'right' to health care for mixed-race children? Or would it be ensuring equal treatment?
If you think that the government is overstepping its bounds to make sure that birth control is not exclusively rejected (a practice that has been against EEOC policies since 2000 based on gender equality), by what principle would the government be overstepping its bounds to ensure that mixed-race children must be considered equally to other children?
Note: By using this example, I am not attempting to call conservatives or the GOP or Issa or the church or anyone else in real life a racist – it's just a thought experiment to inquire how the principles apply.
