Are you one of the millions planning to visit Thailand for the first time this year? If so, there are a few things you should know before getting onto the plane. Whether you’re staying in one of the thailand vacation rentals next to the beach or backpacking in hostels, the following points apply to every traveller. So, keep reading to find out how to have an excellent trip and how to avoid the common scams.\nFor some, seeing wild monkey can be a thrilling experience. Snapping photographs of the small primates sitting in the trees or on the electricity cable is a highlight of some tourists trip. But, on the other hand, the monkeys have a reputation for being mischievous. If you’re sitting on the beach and monkeys live in the nearby jungle, it’s not advisable to leave your belongings unattended. Go for a dip in the sea and return to find they have taken your bag. It happens more often than you might think. The monkeys will try their hardest to get their hands on food, and they’re notorious for snatching things out of hands.\nThailand has thousands of temples dotted around the country. Bangkok alone is a hotspot for opulent temples and pagodas, which are major tourist attractions. Head into the countryside and find dozens along the side of the road as well as the ruins of centuries-old ones in Thailand’s ancient cities. But what many tourists sometimes forget is that visitors need to dress modestly to enter. What this means is that you shouldn’t wear shorts, skirts or singlets. If you don’t meet the dress code, you won’t be allowed in. Remember to pack long sleeves and long pants if you want to visit the temples.\nTourists visiting Thailand for the first time are often surprised when they’re required to remove their shoes to enter temples, some buildings or someone’s house. This is standard practice in the country and everyone, including foreigners, are required to take off their shoes. Most places have a rack outside to store them. But at the same time, it’s not always safe to leave your $200 pair of trainers outside in full view of everyone walking past. If you’re not planning to walk for hours at a time, bring a pair of sandals or flip-flops which are quick and easy to slip on and off.\nWhile most locals in Thailand are warm and welcoming towards foreigners, a small number want to extract as much money as possible from them. Scams, rip-offs and overcharging are widespread, and tourists tend to be the primary targets. Be aware of the Tuk Tuks offering to take you on a city tour. Also, when a driver tells you the place you want to go is closed, they might not be telling the truth. Make sure you know exactly where you’re going, the opening times and admission fees before setting off. And always be aware of someone who is trying to be too helpful.\nThailand has a reputation, both famous and infamous, for its nightlife. With Full Moon Parties and late night bars found in the capital and major tourist destinations along with the red light districts and go-go bars, it’s easy to have a fun night out. But not all the alcohol you see is at the same quality as back at home. Some shops fill their shelves with cheap whiskey and vodkas costing just a dollar or two. You should avoid these at all costs. Not only will they give you one of the worst hangovers of your life, but they can also be dangerous. Take care when you’re drinking on the beach or in the bars too. With such a hot climate, it’s always easy to forget just how many you’ve had!\nFew places outside of malls and supermarkets have fixed prices in Thailand. Walk through the market or go souvenir shopping, and almost everything will be at the discretion of the vendor. And more likely than not, the price quoted to foreigners will be much higher than the locals. Anyone who wants to buy something should remember to bargain. If you feel the price is too high, ask for lower. Or perhaps you’re buying in bulk and want a discount, then ask. Also, it’s not a good idea to wear all your latest clothes and jewellery because if the vendor thinks you have a lot of money, they won’t offer a low price.\nThe laws in Thailand can be very different from what you would expect back at home. On the surface, the country might seem chaotic and lawless. But dig a little deeper, there are specific rules and regulations that must be followed at all times. Some are related to religion while others include stiff penalties for insulting the royal family. It’s not uncommon for careless tourists to fall foul of some of these laws unwittingly and then have to face the consequences which often include a hefty fine. A quick Google search should reveal some of the things to be aware of and what you should never do in Thailand.\nThe vast majority of tourists who visit Thailand have an unforgettable experience. Many want to return, and some even stay and live in the country as an expat. Just remember to follow our suggestions, and you’ll be one of the many who immediately starts planning their next trip back. |

Steve McClaren says Stoke City’s ‘good squad’ should benefit from the different voice and different philosophy of Paul Lambert.\nMcClaren was positive about the opportunity awaiting Lambert as he steps in to replace Mark Hughes, starting with a trip to Manchester United tonight.\nThe Potters are in the relegation zone – but are still only six points off the top half with 16 games remaining and a fortnight left in the transfer window.\nFormer England manager McClaren told Sky Sports: “It’s fantastic, you know the job, you know what it’s about, you know the squad and you’ve got a couple of weeks to do some business if they can.\n“It’s a great job to go into: you’re working for four or five months and you know what the objective is. Get the players, do a lot of coaching on the field and get them winning football matches.\n“It’s a good squad and it needs an injection of a different voice, a different face, a different philosophy or way of playing.\nEx-Stoke defender Danny Higginbotham has been on pundit duty too and he hopes that Lambert can provide the structure that had been lacking in recent months under Hughes – and provide it quickly.\nStoke have the worst defensive record in the Premier League this season, conceding 47 goals in 22 matches despite Hughes investing heavily in his back line last summer.\n“I don’t think it’s a bad appointment,” said Higginbotham.\n“The previous two managers, Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes, weren’t greeted with welcome arms at the time. It’s a team that’s good enough to stay in the Premier League but it needs organisation and it was so important they got a manager in as soon as possible.\nLiam Lawrence makes a beeline for celebrating fans after scoring his late winner at Coventry.\nLiam Lawrence is desperate for the club to hold onto the top flight status he worked so hard to help earn 10 years ago.\nHe said: “I think it’s a good appointment. He’s got good experience with keeping Villa up and Stoke need that person who can come in to provide stability and make them hard to beat.\n“I was thinking earlier about the reaction when Tony Pulis and Hughes got the job. This time Lambert wasn’t really spoken about, it was more Martin O’Neill, Gary Rowett and Quique Sanchez Flores so it’s surprised a few people but I do think it’s the right appointment. First and foremost Stoke need to stay in the league.\nThe former midfielder has had the chance to watch more Stoke games recently after hanging up his boots – often from the press box. He hopes the Lambert can bring in a new forward to help Xherdan Shaqiri and perhaps another defender as well.\nHe said: “I’ve watched the last couple of months quite closely and I’ve noticed a dip in performances. That was partly down to confidence and there were silly mistakes.\n“They need more potency going forward, that’s for sure, they rely a lot on Shaqiri in terms of creativity. They could perhaps do with another big strong centre-half too. |

An Anaheim man was thrown in jail after trying to cash a secret shopper check.\nMoses Pennell, 22, of Anaheim, wanted to help with the expenses around the house that he shares with his mother, so he took a job as a secret shopper.\nBut when Pennell tried to cash the check, his attempt at a paying job landed him in jail.\n“I was on Craigslist, and I kept seeing mystery shopper pop-up, so I called it and they asked me for my information,” Pennell said.\nA month later, the company contacted Pennell and mailed him a check for nearly $2,000 and step-by-step instructions on what to do.\nNancy Salsgiver was intrigued when she got an envelope in the mail. It contained detailed instructions for her "secret shopping assignment." Ana Garcia reports.\nA legitimate secret-shopper gig pays the participants for shopping assignments in which they are asked to document and report their experience. The information gathered is generally used for market research.\nBut in secret shopper scams, the shopper is often given a fraudulent check which they are asked to deposit into their own bank account.\nWhile the bank is waiting for the check to clear, the shopper unknowingly withdraws their own money to pay for the merchandise. The shoppers are then told to wire back any unused funds -- typically the bulk of the money.\nRegina Aleman and her three young children wanted to move to 29 Palms Military Base to be with her husband, Marine Sergeant Christopher Aleman. But first, Regina needed the backyard of their house in Upland landscaped so she could rent it. She says a contractor she found on Craigslist disappeared with her $1,000 and left behind a mess. After Regina's story aired on Wednesday, May 23, the owner of Lakeview Patios in Huntington Beach offered to fix the Aleman s yard for free. Ana Garcia reports for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on May 24, 2012.\nOnce the check bounces, shoppers are stuck with shopping bills and an overdrawn bank account and the money they wired stays with the scammers.\nBefore starting his first assignment, Pennell tried to cash his secret shopper check at a Walmart in Anaheim.\nThe transaction took longer than he expected, Pennell said, and he was eventually asked to step into a back office where he was informed that the check was a fraud.\nMoses’ mother, Kelly Horn, received a call from her son.\nHorn bailed out her son the next morning and was informed her son could be charged with fraud, forgery or other felony charges.\nLast week, nearly two months after Moses had been arrested, the attorneys decided not to file charges against Pennell.\nPennell said he is happy to put the ordeal behind him, but still feels his good intentions were punished.\n“I was just trying to get money, help out around the house, but I got arrested,” Pennell said.\nAuthorities warn that if a company sends you money before you do the work, it’s a red flag that the company is not legitimate.\nIf you have a problem you'd like Ana Garcia and her team to investigate, call them at (818) 520-TIPS or by email at [email protected]. |

There are more slaves today than at any other time in history. 45.8 million people in 167 countries are trapped in what is known as “modern slavery,” with seven out of ten of these victims directly related to the private sector. These people, who make the products we buy and harvest the food we eat, are exploited every day for their labor. Despite the best efforts made by governments, the United Nations and NGOs around the world, only 0.2% of the victims around the world are helped each year.\nThe Mekong Club is an association of NGOs and private companies working together to find a solution for modern day slavery. Join their leaders and members for a panel discussion on the actions you can take to eliminate slavery from your supply chain. |

The year 2007 has been celebrated by the organ world as the year of Dieterich Buxtehude, the great pre-Bachian organ master from Lübeck who died 300 years ago. Conferences, competitions and numerous concerts devoted to Buxtehude’s music have been organised, and many new recordings released. One of these is the present recording of the great chorale arrangements for organ, made by Pier Damiano Peretti on the famous Huß-Schnitger organ in Ss. Cosmae and Damiani in Stade.\nBorn in 1974, Peretti is Professor of Organ at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover. He studied in Vienna with Herbert Tachezi and Michael Radulescu, and in Hamburg with Wolfgang Zerer and Pieter van Dijk. As well as his extensive performing activities, he also composes music for organ, choir and chamber ensembles.\nThese discs present Buxtehude’s chorale settings in a wide perspective; from the most sophisticated of arrangements: the famous fantasia “Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g’mein” BuxWV 210, “Gelobet seist Du, Jesu Christ” BuxWV 188 and “Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern” BuxWV 223, to the more modest so called “chorale ricercari”: “Ich dank Dir schon durch Deinen Sohn” BuxWV 195, “Ich dank Dir, lieber Herre” BuxWV 194, to forms mixing the choral fantasy genre with the simple monodic setting, represented by the chorales “Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ”, BuxWV 196 and “Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren” BuxWV 212. This latter setting is also influenced by the echo fantasy. Finally we find works based on large-scale cantus firmus Latin chants – two “Magnificat” settings and the “Te Deum”, and the funeral cantata “Fried- und Freudenreiche Hinfart” BuxWV 76, in which Peretti accompanies the young Hannover soprano Josefine Constanze Göhmann.\nPeretti plays with great clarity, vitality and a genuinely Italianate musicality, completely excluding mere vain virtuosity. His registrations are outstanding – combinations involving mutations, or Quintadena, with reed stops (listen to the wonderful Trechter Regal 8’ in the Rückpositiv), together with the unusual temperament of the organ make for an amazing combination. The Huß-Schnitger organ, restored in the 1970s by Jürgen Ahrend distinguishes itself with its decisive voicing, and its thick, strong and slightly “raw” plenum.\nI can recommend these CDs as among the most interesting, intelligent and beautiful recordings of the choral fantasies by Buxtehude available. The booklets, filled with an interesting, and exhausting, commentary and full registration details, complement the playing very well. A word of criticism must be aired however regarding the pictures of Buxtehude, and of the Stade organ. These have been reproduced at a far too low resolution and are thus rather ugly. |
Rev. Jennifer Bailey is the Founding Executive Director of the Faith Matters Network, a new interfaith community equipping faith leaders to challenge structural inequality in their communities. She is a Sojourners online contributor.\nLast week, I had the opportunity to circle up around a dinner table with eight strangers as part of the #100Days100Dinners campaign. Over the course of the first 100 Days of the new presidential administration, my organization, Faith Matters Network, in partnership with the Dinner Party and Hollaback! have been gathering people to have meaningful conversations across lines of political and ideological difference. At the dinner table we shared stories about who we were and how we came to understand our ideas of citizenship and an amazing thing happened — we didn't break into partisan bickering. We saw each other and listened deeply. These are the building blocks of relationships that feel crucial if we are to move forward together as a nation that recognizes the past and present pain we inflict upon one another while also boldly imagining something different.\nMy hope is communities will be able to lean into a deepening sense of moral courage to take a stand and speak out when we see our neighbors being ostracized, attacked, or made to feel other just because of who they are. As Christians, we are not called to be bystanders, but to take an active role in accompanying those who need care.\nMarie Dennis is leading the Catholic Church toward just peace as co-president of Pax Christi International.\nI am a woman. That shapes and colors everything I do. I have committed my life to the pursuit of social justice, peace, and respect for the integrity of creation. That also shapes and colors everything I do. Both have to do with my essential identity and are inextricably interconnected.\nDuring this year we were able to initiate an incredibly hopeful conversation about nonviolence in the Catholic Church worldwide. One tangible result is Pope Francis’ World Day of Peace (Jan. 1) message on nonviolence, which was written in response to a proposal from the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative, a project of Pax Christi International in collaboration with a number of other Catholic organizations. It is also very hopeful that the conversation continues and is increasingly vigorous.\nRev. Marcia Dinkins is the Executive Director of the Mahoning Valley Organizing Collaborative. Dinkins is also a leader in the Free Bresha campaign, which is seeking justice for Bresha Meadows, one of the many young females of color pushed into the abuse to prison pipeline.\nMy womanhood feels connected [to my passion for justice] because the women in the Bible speak to various parts of my life. We see women who are not your common woman — women who had to undergo circumstances that would debilitate them. These women had a voice. Some experienced denigration, the thing-a-fication of the woman's body, and mistreatment. Yet God gave us Justice. The word says that God gave us beauty for ashes. The woman in me is connected to the Justice in God.\nSaadia Faruqi is an interfaith activist and author of the book Brick Walls: Tales of Hope & Courage from Pakistan. She is a Sojourners online contributor.\nMuch of my work is connected to my gender because as a Muslim woman wearing the hijab, I find it inevitable that I end up battling stereotypes. To be able to go out into the field of social justice and activism, and to share not only my own story but also the stories of all misrepresented Muslim woman, is extremely empowering and fulfilling. You could say that's the reason for all my writing, my cultural sensitivity training, and my community work: to change perceptions of people about Muslim women and how much they can achieve.\nRecently I spoke at a church adult contemporary issues class as a speaker in their Muslim neighbor series. I was very heartened by the attendance and their feedback. Instead of their usual 10 or 20 participants, this class was attended by more than 50 people, and chairs were lined up outside the door to hear me speak. During a time of negative political rhetoric, the interest my Christian brothers and sisters felt in supporting me and hearing my message felt full of loving hope.\nI am called to my work as a black woman. I live out my priestly and scholarly vocation in this black woman flesh. As a womanist my theology is grounded in black women's experience — if it doesn't work for us, it doesn't work. And as a womanist, my circle of concern includes the whole of my communities, that includes the world.\nRev. Neichelle R. Guidry is the creator of shepreaches, a virtual community and professional development organization that aspires to uplift African-American millennial women in ministry through theological reflection, fellowship, and liturgical curation.\nMy work and ministry happen because I am a woman; a black woman. My ministry to women is borne out of the fact that none of us are free until all of us are free. I want all of us to be free from the threats and lived realities of poverty, violence, homophobia, and transphobia, mass incarceration, and all forms of addiction. Moreover, I believe that when women are liberated, entire communities and peoples have new opportunities for collective liberation.\nI hope people will speak out against the injustice and intolerance that is taking place. I hope we move past social media, and inundate our sermons, scholarship, and public discourse with creative methods for resistance and calls to love. I hope we don't forget that giants do fall, and that all it takes is one stone to slay them.\nAlison Harington is director of Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, Ariz., and is a leader in the sanctuary movement.\nIn November of last year, I gathered at Standing Rock with more than 400 clergy who had been mobilized by local Episcopal priest John Floberg to be in solidarity with the water protectors. Recognizing that early church doctrine gave ideological justification for the Dakota Access Pipeline, we gathered in all of our religious garb and accouterments around the sacred fire at Oceti Sakowin, and held up a copy of the Doctrine of Discovery, repudiated this doctrine, and handed it over to elders in the camp in order that it might be burned. It is my hope that actions such as this will encourage us to recognize the ways in which our faith has been used as a weapon of colonization and dehumanization; and it is my hope that these swords might be beat into plowshares.\nZakiya Jackson advocates for racial justice and education reform. She works with theExpectations Project and Collected Young Minds, a space for young writers to showcase their thoughts and skills.\nAs a black woman in the United States, I have the ability, blessing, and burden of understanding oppression in a way that can resonate with many people's lived experiences. The insights, wisdom, and brilliance of women of color (Think of Black Madonna and Mujerista Theology for example) are critical to understanding the root issues and producing the solutions of change.\nAll the forms of protest that are rising up are encouraging. It seems like folks who aren't typically in the margins are finally getting angry. This is actually hopeful — to see people's agitation rising to the point of action and movement. Sometimes social justice is too trendy — liberation isn't born out of following a cute movement. Liberation requires sacrifice, pain, and endurance.\nI hope white people will sacrifice in new ways — that they will sit with discomfort and act under the direction of people of color who center the oppressed in their work. I hope people of color will release themselves from all the obligation we sometimes feel toward whiteness and instead allow ourselves to heal from erasure and move toward beloved community from a more whole place.\nJulie Rodgers is a writer, speaker, and advocate for LGBTQ people in Christian communities.\nIf the church began to embrace LGBTQ people the way Jesus urged us to embrace every neighbor, we wouldn't see so many people rejected from their churches, cut off from their families, often wondering if the world would be better off without them. We would see more Christians who celebrate what a gift it is to have friends and family members who experience love and community in a slightly different way.\nWhen I think of leaders in the LGBTQ community — particularly the LGBTQ Christian community — a whole lot of men come to mind. Some of these men are extraordinary leaders and I'm so thankful they exist! But the movement suffers when there aren't more people of color, trans people, and women serving in leadership roles. It’s vital for young people to have role models to look up to when they try to imagine their future stories, and I hope to communicate, by my existence, that young lesbians belong in the church and they have gifts to offer their communities.\nEmily Wirzba lobbies to achieve bipartisan recognition of climate change in Congress as the Sustainable Energy and Policy Associate for the Friends Committee on National Legislation.\nI trained an interfaith delegation of clergy and religious leaders to meet with their Republican legislator’s chief of staff to discuss climate change. After the meeting, the member of Congress was moved to support legislation that acknowledges the realities of climate change and commits Congress to taking action. Constituent advocacy works! I hope that people will engage in respectful but truthful dialogue with elected officials and recognize their ability to enact structural change. |

Swyer, W. Robert (1998) Teacher and student attitudes toward microcomputer-based laboratories (MBLs) in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Masters thesis, Memorial University of Newfoundland.\nThe purpose of this thesis was to determine teacher and student attitudes toward Microcomputer-Based Laboratories (MBLs) in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. A sample consisting of 53 teachers and 59 students responded to survey instruments designed by the author. -- The teacher instrument consisted of three sections. Section A had 7 multiple-choice items and was used to determine the extent of MBL use by teachers. Section B was composed of 34 statements that teachers responded to using a 5-point Likert scale. Section C was used to collect personal information. -- The student instrument consisted of two sections. Section A was used to obtain some personal information from the students. Section B was composed of 30 statements that students responded to using a 5-point Likert scale. -- The following questions guided the research: 1. To what extent have teachers and students used MBLs? 2. What are teachers' and students' attitudes toward MBL equipment and software? 3. Do teachers and students believe that MBL techniques enhance student learning? 4. Do teachers and students believe that MBL techniques enhance their physics courses? 5. Do teachers and students think that MBL techniques have affected students' attitudes toward science and computers? 6. How do teachers and students think the MBL approach can be improved here in the province? 7. Have MBL techniques affected teacher attitude toward computers? -- The majority of teachers indicated that MBLs were used both by students and themselves to collect and analyze data. About 19% of teachers said that students used the MBL equipment and software on their own. A small percentage of teachers indicated that they only used MBLs in demonstrations with their classes. Most teachers used MBLs for 1/4 or less of the time they spent on labs. Approximately 21% of teachers were using MBLs between 1/4 and 1/2 of the time and about 17% of the teachers were using MBLs between 50% and 100% of the time they spent in the lab. Some teachers and students reported that MBLs have been used in other science courses. -- Results from teacher and student surveys on the 5-point Likert statements indicate that teachers and students alike have overall positive attitudes toward MBLs with respect to MBL equipment and software, enhancing student learning, enhancing their physics courses, and affecting students' attitudes toward science and computers. As well, teacher attitude toward computers was positively affected.

When you have been injured at work, you may have no idea where to begin in the process of filing a claim against your employer. You should be aware that your employer may be liable for the injuries that you have suffered at work. Accident lawyers can help you begin the process of filing a worker’s compensation claim.\nYou should meet with a lawyer soon after your injury has occurred. Some people make the mistake of waiting until years after the accident has occurred to get in touch with a lawyer. If you do this, you may miss the deadline for the filing of your case. You only have a limited number of years to file your case after you have been injured. If you wait too long to file your case, then your case may be automatically dismissed by the court for violating the statute of limitations. Because courts are so bogged down with legal cases, many courts have no problem in simply dismissing a case to clear out the docket.\nMeeting with an accident lawyer will help you decide how much money you will be able to receive for your injuries. You may want to know what the total amount of compensation will be before you choose to participate in physical therapy or other treatments that may not be wholly necessary for the treatment of your injury. A accident lawyer can analyze your case and determine a basic amount that your claim can be settled for in the future. Knowing this amount, you may feel more comfortable in immediately beginning physical therapy treatments to rehabilitate yourself.\nWhen you are injured at work, it is also essential to gather as much documentation as possible. If you are able to file an accident report with the human resources department for your company, then you should go ahead and do this. You want to be sure that there is a record of your injury happening in the workplace. Also, you should try to take photos of your injury to make sure that you can collect damages for your injury.\nDepending on the severity of your injury, you may also want to call an ambulance to take you to the hospital. This way, your injuries will also have a medical record. Even if you are not sure whether the injury was entirely your employer’s fault, you should still consider calling an ambulance so that you can fill out the medical report. If you do decide to file a lawsuit against your employer in the upcoming months, then you will be able to access the medical report and provide it to your lawyer. Your lawyer will be able to admit the medical report into evidence at trial, and the jury will be able to better understand the extent of your injuries at the time of the accident.\nYou should never wait to get in touch with a lawyer. Most initial consultations are free, and you will not have to pay anything to a personal injury law firm until after your case has been settled. |

Bangladesh has lodged a protest with Myanmar over what it called an unprovoked attack against its border guards by its eastern neighbour’s security forces on May 30, following an earlier exchange of fire in which one Bangladeshi guard was killed.\nDhaka has asked Myanmar for immediate withdrawal of its forces from the border as it violated a 1980 agreement, the Daily Star newspaper reported.\n“We want a friendly relationship with all bordering countries. But if the Myanmar Border Guard police attack again, BGB (Border Guards Bangladesh) will give a befitting response immediately,” the BGB’s Chittagong regional commander Brig-Gen Syed Ahmed Ali was quoted by the Dhaka-based newspaper as saying.\nMyanmar has given a different version of events and has told Bangladesh it would not tolerate any violation of its sovereignty or territory.\nThe Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it had called in Myanmar’s ambassador to protest at an “unprovoked eruption of gunfire from the Myanmar border force” on May 30.\n“The Myanmar Ambassador was told that a BGB team was waiting near border pillar no. 52 for identification of the dead body which was proposed by the Myanmar side. However, to the complete surprise of the BGB, Myanmar border forces suddenly started firing on the waiting BGB team without any provocation,” it said.\nIn response, Myanmar’s Foreign Ministry said on Saturday that the first incident on May 28 involved Myanmar troops and “two suspected armed Bengalis in yellow camouflage uniform who entered into Myanmar territory” in Maungdaw township. One was killed and the other fled into Bangladesh, it said in a statement.\nOn Saturday, Major General Aziz Ahmed, head of BGB, told reporters that a body handed over by the Myanmar side was that of guard Mizanur Rahman, 43, who had gone missing on May 28. |

Professor Zvi Ish-Shalom, PhD, provided me with an opportunity to peruse his forthcoming book The Kedumah Experience: The Primordial Torah due to be released by Albion-Andalus Press in October, 2017. I asked Zvi a few questions about Kedumah to better understand the teaching, practice, and history.\nZvi: Kedumah is a Hebrew word that means "primordial" or "ancient." The word is found in ancient Hebrew texts and it points to the mystery at the heart of reality. I have adopted this term as the name for a specific set of teachings and practices that I have been sharing with groups for the past few years and that is outlined in my forthcoming book.\nM: What is The Kedumah Institute?\nZvi: The Kedumah Institute is a nonprofit organization established to support the Kedumah teachings and its school of contemplative practice. You can check it out at www.kedumah.org.\nM: What kinds of practices do you teach in Kedumah?\nZvi: Our main practice is inquiring into the truth of who and what we are as human beings, and into the truth of reality more broadly. In Kedumah, we learn how to engage this process in an embodied and multi-dimensional manner, one that is both deeply rooted in ancient wisdom and also fully an expression of the current cosmology. Our approach is psychologically, relationally, and somatically informed, and emphasizes authentic and embodied nondual realization, grounded wakefulness in ordinary life and in interpersonal relationships, and practical tools to live our truth in a fully human and integrated way.\nM: I understand from what you write in the preface to the book that these teachings arose from experiences in your twenties. How has your understanding and relationship to these experiences changed over time?\nZvi: Kedumah is a teaching that is attuned to the emerging reality maps and responsive to the rapidly changing nature of human experience in our time. As I mention in the preface, it is also an expression of my personal journey of spiritual awakening that began with a series of intense mystical experiences in my early twenties. Those early experiences were significant because they connected me to modes of being through which Kedumah is now able to flow. I spent many years integrating those experiences, and in the process they deepened and expanded and opened up portals of inner experience that continue to unfold to this day.\nM: How has your time as a professor at Naropa affected Kedumah?\nZvi: Naropa holds an ancient lineage of wisdom that is steeped in direct knowledge of the nonconceptual primordial nature. On the vibrational level, I think that Kedumah is deeply informed by this wisdom stream. Kedumah arose in the context of my teaching at Naropa, in direct response to many of our students who expressed a longing for a spiritual path that makes sense to them given the realities of our time. For many of our students, and for me personally, it doesn't make sense to join an old-school religious institution and get into what can feel like clunky and outdated modes of relating to truth. But we also want something real and authentic, something with depth and substance. Kedumah is one response to this dilemma.\nM: How does this relate to your tradition, that in which you were formally raised and instructed?\nZvi: I draw heavily from the Jewish wisdom stream in my teaching of Kedumah, as it is the tradition I am most familiar with and in which I was immersed when I had my early experiences of spiritual awakening. However, while I use many concepts and principles from Jewish tradition, Kedumah does not affiliate with and has no allegiance to any particular religion or tribe. Thus, while Kedumah is rooted in the same revelatory wisdom that first inspired and animated Judaism, it is not affiliated with Judaism in any formal sense. Maybe one way to understand it is that Kedumah relates to Judaism in a similar way that Shambhala relates to Buddhism.\nM: I understand you are ordained in a long line of Hasidic Rabbis. Has Kedumah been present within the tradition? Or is this a new or revitalized look at something that has been present, but unemphasized?\nZvi: Yes and yes. Kedumah is always-already present. It is the vast space within which all phenomena arise. Certainly in the Jewish mystical tradition there were some people who were experientially intimate with this nonconceptual truth. At the same time, this kind of realization, and how to embody and integrate it into ordinary life in the context of our time, could not have been addressed by the ancients. They were relating to a different reality map that required different technologies. So you can say that Kedumah is both ancient and radically new at the same time.\nM: How does this relate to what you call in the book "Rabbinic Judaism"? Or to a broader practice of Jewish Mysticism? Kabbalah?\nZvi: Kedumah uses teachings and principles of Rabbinic Judaism, Jewish Mysticism, and Kabbalah in its approach to spiritual evolution and awakening. However, since Kedumah does not accept the binding nature of Jewish law, the authority of scripture, or hold any allegiance to tribe, it is operating from an altogether different paradigm than is Rabbinic Judaism. One way to understand Kedumah is as a radically new kind of Judaism, one that is universal and post-religious. Another way to understand Kedumah is as something altogether distinct from Judaism. A more accurate understanding is that it is both at the same time. I explore the relationship between Kedumah and Judaism in more depth in the appendix of the forthcoming book, so you can have a look there for more details. Ultimately, Kedumah is not concerned with how it is defined: its only concern is to expand our range of perception and to more fully embody our human potential.\nM: How have others responded to Kedumah who are more institutionally inclined or more formally inclined towards Rabbinic Judaism?\nZvi- I don't think such folks know much about Kedumah, since it has not been shared publicly yet. I'm sure I'll find out in the next few months once the book is released. However, while at first it may sound provocative to a traditional mindset, when understood correctly there is nothing in Kedumah that is at odds with traditional Jewish practice or belief. I think that traditionally observant Jews may find the approach outlined in Kedumah to be helpful since it describes ways to approach traditional practice with more depth and awareness. Likewise, serious practitioners of other traditions have also found Kedumah to be a powerful adjunct and support for their path, since it works to fine-tune the inner sense organs in a way that can enhance any practice. To be sure, also secular folks who identify as "spiritual-but-not-religious" or who are aligned with the emerging post-religion, post-ethnic, non-hierarchical, and non-binary paradigm, may find in Kedumah an approach that resonates with their innermost heart.\nM: Professor Zvi, thank you so much for your answers, and for giving us this introduction to Kedumah. I look forward to The Kedumah Experience: The Primordial Torah's upcoming release, take a look at some advanced praise!\n"This book is a treasure of the most profound Jewish mysticism ... which also, through Zvi Ish-Shalom's expert presentation, makes available for people of our time of all religious traditions."—Father Thomas Keating, founding teacher of the Centering Prayer movement and author of Open Mind, Open Heart.\n"Captivating and touching ... readers from all backgrounds will find in this beautiful book a compelling invitation to explore the nature of the their experience."—Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, abbot of Dzogchen Monastery, president of Nalandabodhi, founder of Nītārtha Institute, and author of Rebel Buddha and Emotional Rescue.\n“An exciting, inspiring, and ground breaking book. In these pages, Zvi frees the Torah from its social and cultural limitations so that, with him, we my see and appreciate the full measure of its sacred and universal truth. This book is important both for Jews, “practicing” and otherwise, and also for all people who are engaged in the spiritual quest.”—Reginald A. Ray, University Professor, Naropa University and Co-founder of Dharma Ocean Foundation. Author of Secrets of the Vajra World and Touching Enlightenment. |

Collection of 100 volumes of Karakalpak folklore is presented at the International Bakhshi Art Festival, which takes place in Termez from April 5 to April 10.\nThe Deputy Prime Minister Aziz Abdukhakimov participated at the presentation of folk art of Karakalpakstan during the Festival.\nAt a meeting with representatives of the “Nuroniy” Fund for the Support of Social Activities of Veterans of Uzbekistan of the Karakalpak Branch, A. Abdukhakimov discussed the preservation of folk art in the modern world and its importance in the history of our people.\n“This is a unique phenomenon of the Karakalpak and Uzbek ethnic groups, in which the musical history of the peoples is traced, as well as their connection with the Turkic historical past. Music as one of the main nets that connect people with each other, and it is precisely folklore, originality, uniqueness of culture – that’s what interests us and the rest of the world, ” – noted the Deputy Prime Minister.\nThe folklore of the Karakalpaks is very rich and has an ancient history, dastans (epics) occupy a special place in it. This edition includes eight versions of the “Alpamys” dastan, each of which was prepared strictly according to the original manuscript. In order to preserve the traces of individual performance skills of each zhyrau-narrator and, most importantly, to preserve the authentic content of spiritual creations, the texts are, as far as possible, given in unchanged form.\n– We have published a collection consisting of 100 volumes, which includes the existing folklore of the Karakalpak people. We brought them here not by chance, because the art of Bakhshi is primarily the singing of dastans. This is the folk art in verses, which describe the history, events, way of life of our Karakalpak people, – says the head of the Nuroniy Foundation of the Karakalpak branch Sharof Husniddinov.\n– Of course, it was not easy to collect all the dastans bit by bit. The first copies of books in which oral folk art, were published in the 30s of the last century. Since then, a lot of work has been done to restore a history of Karakalpak epic so important to our people, he noted. |

HOUSTON - Consolidated Graphics, Inc., one of North America's leading commercial printing companies and the world's largest digital printer, was recently awarded a patent for the company's CGX Flex Mailer, a unique, eco-friendly mailing solution that generates significant postage savings by enabling non-machinable items to be mailed as automated flats through the U.S. Postal Service.\nU.S. Patent #8,376,212 was awarded to Consolidated Graphics for the automated flat mailer consisting of a highly flexible outer "skin" coupled with a unique inner tray design. The outer skin is tight enough to allow flexibility on both vertical and horizontal axes, while maintaining sufficient surface tension to limit variations in thickness to under 1/4 of an inch. This means that anything mailed within the CGX Flex Mailer is classified as an automated machinable flat, generating significant postage savings for customers. The packages are produced using wind energy and soy-based inks, making it an environmentally-friendly mailing alternative for socially responsible clientele.\n"We are extraordinarily proud of this patented design and the cost savings it offers to clients of Consolidated Graphics," said Michelle Yun, President of Tucker Printers, a Consolidated Graphics company in Henrietta, NY, where the CGX Flex Mailer was conceived and developed. "The Flex Mailer provides an excellent example of the innovative solutions we are constantly researching and developing to meet the evolving needs of our clients, and we've received overwhelming interest from clients faced with escalating postage costs."\nDeveloped as a custom solution for a promotional products and fulfillment customer that needed a cost-effective mailing solution, the CGX Flex Mailer is available in six sizes and can accommodate items as small as a USB drive to as large as a t-shirt while still remaining a USPS-approved automatable package. Package tracking is possible through the Intelligent Mail Barcode that can be printed directly on the piece.\n"The market is demanding a product like the CGX Flex Mailer," added Yun, "and now we have a vehicle that satisfies our customers' needs and saves them money, yet still allows companies to communicate their brand in creative, attention-grabbing ways."\nFor more information on the CGX Flex Mailer, visit http://cgxflexmailer.cgx.com. |

1.4 Safeguarding: What is it and Why does it Matter?\n2. Who do Safeguarding Duties apply to?\n3. Who Abuses and Neglects Adults?\nSafeguarding adults is used to describe all work to help adults with care and support needs stay safe from abuse and neglect.\nSafeguarding is about people and organisations working together to prevent and stop both the risks and experience of abuse or neglect, while at the same time making sure that the adult’s wellbeing is promoted including, where appropriate, having regard to their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs in deciding on any action. This must recognise that adults sometimes have complex interpersonal relationships and may be ambivalent, unclear or unrealistic about their personal circumstances.\nOrganisations should always promote the adult’s wellbeing in their safeguarding arrangements. People have complex lives and being safe is only one of the things they want for themselves. Professionals should work with the adult to establish what being safe means to them and how that can be best achieved. Professionals and other staff should not be advocating “safety” measures that do not take account of individual wellbeing (see Promoting Wellbeing).\nRegardless of whether the local authority is providing any services, it must follow up any concerns about either actual or suspected adult abuse.\nThe adult experiencing, or at risk of abuse or neglect will hereafter be referred to as the ‘adult’ throughout this APPP, replacing previous terms of adult at risk or vulnerable adult.\nregardless of setting, except prisons and approved premises.\nchildren and young people in specific circumstances as detailed below.\nlocal authorities are required to assess for care and support needs of prisoners which take account of their wellbeing (see Factsheet 12: Prisoners and people in resident in approved premises, Department of Health and Social Care). Equally NHS England has a responsibility to commission health services delivered through offender health teams which contributes towards safeguarding offenders.\nThe Children Act 1989 provides the legislative framework for agencies to take decisions on behalf of children and to take action to protect them from abuse and neglect. Young people who receive leaving or after care support from children and family services, are included in the scope of adult safeguarding, but close liaison with children and family service providers is key to establishing who is the best person to lead or support young people through adult safeguarding processes.\nThe Children Act 2004 places duties on a range of organisations and individuals to ensure their functions, and any services that they contract out to others, are discharged having regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. In all adult safeguarding work, staff working with the adult should establish whether there are children in the family and whether checks should be made on children and young people who are part of the same household, irrespective of whether they are dependent on care either from the adult, or the person alleged to have caused harm.\nChildren and young people may be at greater risk of harm or be in need of additional help in families where adults have mental health problems, misuse substances or alcohol, are in a violent relationship, have complex needs or have learning difficulties.’ For further information see Working Together to Safeguard Children, 2018.\nAbuse within families reflects a diverse range of relationships and power dynamics, which may affect the causes and impact of abuse. These can challenge professionals to work across multi-disciplinary boundaries in order to protect all those at risk. In particular staff may be assisted by using domestic abuse risk management tools as well as safeguarding risk management tools. Staff providing services to adults, children and families should have appropriate training whereby they are able to identify risks and abuse to children and vulnerable adults.\nIn respect of young carers, the Care Act 2014, alongside the Children and Families Act 2014, offers a joined up legal framework to identify young carers and parent carers and their support needs. Both Acts have a strong emphasis on outcomes and wellbeing.\nThe Care Act 2014 places a duty on local authorities to conduct transition assessments for children, children carers and young carers where there is a likely need for care and support after the child in question turns 18 and a transition assessment would be of significant benefit. See also Transition to Adult Care and Support.\nwhether a mental capacity assessment is needed and who will undertake it.\nwhether any application needs to be made to the Court of Protection.\nIf the young person is not subject to a plan, it may be prudent to hold a professionals meeting.\nIf a child or young person is causing harm to an adult covered by the adult safeguarding procedures, action should be taken under these procedures, and a referral and close liaison with children’s services should take place.\nViolence towards parents and other relatives (for example, grandparents, aunts, uncles) some of whom, may be adults experiencing or at risk of abuse or neglect, can be carried out by adults and by young people and children, some of which can cause serious harm or death.\nWhere there is intentional abuse, adult safeguarding under the Care Act should always be considered.\nSee Carers Section for more information.\nAbuse can happen anywhere, for example in someone’s own home, in a public place, in hospital, in a care home or in college. It can take place where an adult lives alone, or with others.\nThere are six principles which apply to all sectors and settings including care and support services, further education colleges, commissioning, regulation and provision of health and care services, social work, healthcare, welfare benefits, housing, wider local authority functions and the criminal justice system.\nThe principles should inform the ways in which professionals and other staff work with adults. The principles can also help SABs, and organisations more widely, by using them to examine and improve their local arrangements.\naddress the causes of abuse.\nthe core duties of the police to prevent and detect crime and protect life and property.\nSee also Making Safeguarding Personal chapter.\nIn addition to the above principles, it is also important that all safeguarding partners take a broad, community approach to establishing safeguarding arrangements. It is vital that all organisations recognise that adult safeguarding arrangements are there to protect individuals. Everyone has different preferences, life histories, circumstances and lifestyles, so it is unhelpful to prescribe a process that must be followed whenever a concern is raised. See Safeguarding Case Studies.\nimprove the quality of their life, wellbeing and safety.\nThere are, however, key issues that local authorities and their partners should consider (see Section 7, Information Gathering, Stage 2: Enquiry).\nRegardless of the adult’s preferred method of managing a personal budget, the local authority still retains its duty of care with regard to the adult and their protection from abuse. South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) also has responsibilities around the provision of personal health budgets.\nPersonalised care planning can enhance good safeguarding practice, bringing in people’s own resources and intelligence. Through empowering adults, organisations can help raise awareness of what is acceptable and use information from adults and their families to identify potential problems with providers.\nguidance on deputyship and Lasting Power of Attorney.\nPartners should plan regular public awareness campaigns as these can make a significant contribution to the prevention of abuse. Such campaigns are more effective when supported by information and advice about where to get help, and when there is effective training for staff and services to respond.\nThe Serious Incident Framework should be read in conjunction with the Revised Never Events Policy and Framework. The Serious Incident Framework is not a substitute for safeguarding. Where safeguarding is indicated a safeguarding referral must be made, however a root cause analysis under the Serious Incident Framework may be considered an appropriate response to a safeguarding enquiry.\nNHS identifies a safeguarding concern, for example through staff at Accident and Emergency seeing signs of physical abuse. This may warrant a safeguarding referral to the Local Authority but would not be routinely recorded as an SI.\nIf there are allegations against healthcare staff within the provider of s a service to adults, then a safeguarding referral and SI would need to be declared. Equally if there is patient against patient abuse.\nLastly, there are incidents that are reported on STEIS that are not safeguarding issues, for example a pressure ulcer that was unavoidable (see also Pressure Areas and Safeguarding). Investigations will still be undertaken but without referral for a safeguarding. This is obviously dependent on the situation. |
When a devastating flood hit Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 2008, Pierson’s Flower Shop & Greenhouses—which has been a part of the community since 1928—found itself under eight feet of water. The store was closed for five months and business fell 40 percent, while many other small businesses in the area never recovered. When shop owner Allan Pierson was on the brink of giving up, he revamped his online presence and turned to tools like Google Ads to reach customers, and email to run the business remotely.\nWhen disaster strikes, small business owners like Allan shouldn’t have to worry about their businesses on top of everything else. To commemorate National Preparedness Month, we’ve just released a new resource with tips on how digital tools can help your business prepare for a disaster, like backing up critical documents in the Cloud and creating a Google Group to easily keep in touch with all of your employees. Preparation is particularly important for small businesses: according to FEMA, roughly 40 to 60 percent of small businesses never reopen after a disaster.\nThough we hope you never need to enable your emergency plan, by using digital tools we hope that you can minimize the long term impact on your business. |

Although some discomfort, pain and cramping during menstruation is normal, excessive pain that impacts your daily life (causing you to regularly miss work or school) is not and should be assessed by a medical professional.\nIn this video, Mr Joseph Aquilina, Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician, discusses the symptoms and causes of painful menstrual disorders, as well as advice on when to come to clinic.\nThe cause of your painful menstrual periods is not always known but some women are at a higher risk of painful periods.\nThe medical treatment recommended by your doctor or Consultant, will depend on how severe the pain is and the underlying cause of your cramps.\nSurgery is an option if other treatment options have not been successful or your pain is caused by endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Surgery will be performed to remove any endometriosis implant, uterine fibroids, or cysts.\nIn very rare cases, a surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) is an option if other treatments have not worked and pain is severe. |
Chapter 31 of my book discusses the importance of expressing gratitude for even the small things that people do for you. It seems so many people fail to perform this simple courtesy, as illustrated in the joke below.\nMy friend, Reza, tells me that although the title of his book says, “for Healthcare” that the concepts and tools mentioned in the book are applicable to any service, manufacturing or construction operation.\nIn Chapter 2 of my book, I mention the importance of progressive resistance training with weights. No doubt I have carried it to an extreme, as I will again be deadlifting in Grand Rapids this Friday in preparation for world competition in Portugal in November. I’m certainly not recommending anyone take up competitive powerlifting; however, you really need to do some type of weight bearing exercise.\nI am also not advocating you run a marathon; however, I am recommending you do some type of cardiovascular exercise at least 30 minutes a day. I know, some of you will say you don’t have time of exercise; well, no one does. They make the time, because it is important.\nFolks, this coming Sunday, October 25, from 11 a.m until 5 p.m. I am going to be at Leon and Lulu in Clawson, MI. Please stop by and visit me as well as this really cool store; plus you will get a chance to talk to some interesting authors. For more information, just click on the link below.\nChapter 20 of my book talks about the importance of celebrating not just your own successes, but even more so the successes of your friends. Also, holidays are definitely a reason for celebrations and Halloween is one of the really just pure fun holidays.\nAlthough in a prior poll, only 5% of you planned to watch a scary movie for Halloween, I still thought it appropriate to suggest a Halloween type film. This one was made by my friend Mike Kinnunen, in 2005. I’m not sure how to obtain a copy of it; but if you contact me, I will pass your email or comment on to Mike.\nI never understand why more of you don’t vote, since I always have at least 70 people check out this blog each week. Anyway, 19 of you voted on your favorite music decade.\nEvery decade from 1901 through the 1980s received three votes. The 1990s received 2 votes. The earliest (1900 or earlier) and the latest (2000 or later) only received one vote each.\nGiven my comments about the importance of celebrating and since alcoholic beverages for so many are part of any celebrations, I thought it may be interesting to have a poll on one’s alcohol preferences.\nSince Halloween is about kids and adults who want to be kids again, I thought this song would be appropriate, plus I really like it. I was fortunate a few years ago to see Loudon perform live in Ann Arbor at The Ark.\nGeronimo was born in eastern Arizona in the year 1829. At the time, his homeland was claimed by both the Mexican government and the Apache people. Geronimo’s family was part of the Bedonkohe band of the Apache.\nAt around the age of seventeen, Geronimo became an Apache warrior.\nThe U.S. Army [ ] sent thousands of troops to search the hills of Arizona in order to stop him from raiding. In 1886, they finally caught up with him and he was forced to surrender.\nGeronimo spent the rest of his life as a prisoner of war. Although he was eventually granted some freedom, he was never allowed to return to his homeland. He became a celebrity and even attended the 1904 World’s Fair.\nI always appreciate those that leave comments on my weekly posts. I wish more of you would do so; since it is so very encouraging. Leaving a comment is easy, just click on “Leave A Comment”, which is immediately below the title of this week’s post.\nIf you think this blog has any merit, please pass it on to your friends.\nMy book can be purchased on-line from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Books-A-Million. It is also available in a ebook format.\nLove the joke about breakfast!\nBill, You have outdone yourself again! Keep them coming. And I’m not just saying that because I’m your wife!\nnow I can comment….walking outside….thanks Bill.\nBill, I’m always busy, but do try to read all of your communications. You make me laugh, think and learn. Everyone who receives anything from you is extremely lucky. Please continue to share!!\nThank you for the very kind words, I’ll do my best to live up to them. |

Habu was an asp, a slithering snake with a forked tongue and dark brownish-purple triangles along the top of his long, slender body. He had two sharp fangs and his scales were very slippery, allowing him to move through the sand quickly. Habu had a loud hiss that warned other animals that he was coming so they could run away quickly and hide. They were afraid of that hiss.\nHabu noticed that whenever he slithered by, all the animals disappeared. He didn’t understand why they did that. He wouldn’t hurt any of them. In fact, he was rather afraid of several of them. Habu was terrified of Hamse, the elephant. He didn’t want to be crushed by Hamse’s huge legs. He was also afraid of Najud the hawk. If she happened to fly overhead and see him, she’d swoop down and scoop him up in her beak and take him back to her nest to eat. Habu was also afraid of Yasmine, the crocodile. One bite from her sharp teeth and he’d be bitten in half.\nOne day, as Habu was scooting across the hot sand, he noticed that the wind was beginning to blow. He looked up and saw a wall of sand moving towards him. He hissed loudly and slithered off, looking for somewhere to get protection form the stinging, blowing sands.\nThe wind started getting stronger. Habu could hardly see. Suddenly, he bumped right into something. It was hard. He went around it, feeling it with his long scaly body and flickering tongue. It was made of wood. Sensing no danger, he crawled inside it. It was filled with ripe figs. He slid down under them and hid, waiting for the sandstorm to pass. He could hear little grains of sand pelting against the wooden bowl as the wind howled. Habu dozed off. He was feeling sleepy from all the dust in the air. He slept for hours. The sandstorm passed by and still Habu slept under the ripening figs.\nAs the sun set that night, Habu woke up. He raised his head from under a fig and saw that it was dark. Thinking it was still the sandstorm; he crawled back down and went back to sleep. As he slept, a small girl picked up the wooden bowl filled with figs and carried it down to the riverbank. She picked up one fig at a time washing them in the water. She reached in the bowl, picking up another fig, but this time it wasn’t a fig, it was Habu, the asp. The girl screamed and dropped the bowl. She ran off toward her house, and left the bowl of spilled figs lying in the mud.\nHabu woke up. He yawned and opened his eyes. He wasn’t in the bowl anymore. He was out near the river. He wondered how he’d gotten there. Just as he was about to slither off, Yasmine the crocodile came crawling out of the water. Her jaw was wide open. All Habu could see was her sharp teeth. Scared, he quickly slithered away.\nHabu didn’t know which direction to go. He saw a big tree trunk up ahead and made his way to it. He began to climb up, but it wasn’t a tree trunk at all. It was Hamse, the elephant’s thick leg. Suddenly Hamse let out a loud trumpeting sound and started dancing around, trying to get Habu off his leg. This woke up all the other animals. They saw Habu slithering away. His tongue was going in and out of his mouth, hissing loudly. The animals ran to hide.\nHe hadn’t gone too far when Najud, the hawk, came swooping down towards him. Habu could hear her screeching as her talons came down to grab him. He quickly slithered under a root of one of the palm trees growing not far from the river’s edge. He hid just in time. Najud soared back up, into the night air.\nHabu was scared to death. He didn’t know where to go or what to do. He just hid under the root until the sun came up.\nWhen daylight broke over the horizon, things didn’t seem so scary anymore. Habu came out and decided the safest place for him was back in his hole in the ground. He slithered off, passing Hamse, the elephant, and the wooden bowl lying on the ground with the figs dumped out. He passed the spot in the river where Yasmine, the crocodile had snapped at him and finally made it back to his hole. He went inside and breathed a sigh of relief. There would be no more going out in sandstorms for him!!! |

Previously, ChanelNecklace.org was an online store which appeared at this domain selling replica Chanel jewelry, necklaces and earrings. As a result of a legal action, a Federal Court ordered the store shut down permanently and the ownership and control of the domain name transferred to CHANEL. The Court also ordered the previous owners and operators of the former ChanelNecklace.org expeditiously pay over $610,000.00 in damages.\nIt is not surprising that necklace online outlets offer top quality authentic replica Chanel jewelry. But what exactly is it that they are really selling? We are here to give you an idea.\nSince CHANEL does not sell jewelry at outlets at a discount or wholesale price, cheap designer necklaces found at online outlet stores likely could be top quality fakes and not top quality fine CHANEL authentic necklaces. Sometimes it is difficult to tell at first glance. Paying attention to the fine print is essential.\nEach dollar spent at a discount designer jewelry outlets for cheap necklaces is likely to be lost to low quality fakes which are anything but close to a genuine CHANEL masterpiece. Products with CC or CHANEL logos affixed to fakes is illegal, and are definitely not CHANEL.\nStaying far away from jewelry outlets drawing attention to top quality and authenticity for their fakes is a surefire way to avoid being tricked into buying a fake.\nThis is why buying a replica Chanel necklace isn't a bargain.\nMany of the elegant and original fine jewelry CHANEL pieces, such as the camellia necklace in white gold and diamonds, are created by master artisans, who meticulously proceed with great reverence for the treasured symbols of the CHANEL legacy. A replica necklace or bracelet are not inspired by, nor do they honor, the intrinsic essence of Coco Chanel.\nReplica necklaces, which are often mass-produced with less than standard raw materials and workmanship, are best avoided. Top quality or 100% mirror image imitations being offered for sale with cheap prices at discount outlets will not be anything close to what can be expected from an authentic CHANEL necklace. Knockoff necklaces are usually poorly manufactured and may appear sloppily finishes, off-centered, lopsided or irregular. Many bargain replicas quickly tarnish or break apart, sometimes before they are ever worn.\nThe fake necklaces are usually problematic and being leery of them is quite justified. It is best to be wary of the bargain prices and play it smart by rejecting the cheap replica and pursue only necklaces that are authentic CHANEL. |

Game Type Slow Jigging B684 is the state-of-the-art jigging technique that has been spreading in Japan and now all around the world, elevating the game of jigging to another dimension. Slow pitch jigging is not slow reeling. It is a continuous sequence of stop and go pitches. It’s basically one pitch per second. That tempo is very slow compared to the conventional style of jigging and has three main variations that can be combined: Slow Pitch Jerk, Hi Pitch Jerk, Long Fall Jerk. This technique is usually done using a baitcasting or multiplier reel. It has the advantage to know exactly when your lure has hit the bottom, which controls your depth more easily and enhances the direct contact with your line. If you are expecting very large fish choose a reel like the Ocea Jigger, without a level wind. However level wind reels like the Ocea Calcutta can work perfectly when targeting smaller fish with a Light Slow Jigging rod. |

Diffeomorphic deformation is a popular choice in medical image registration. A fundamental property of diffeomorphisms is in vertibility, implying that once the relation between two points A to B is found, then the relation B to A is given per definition. Consistency is a measure of a numerical algorithm's ability to mimic this invertibility, and achieving consistency has proven to be a challenge for many state-of-the-art algorithms. |

The Web is becoming a more effective tool over time to classify businesses than traditional industry classification schemes. The competitors I had three months ago are not necessarily the competitors I’m going to have three months from now -- or even today -- because business changes at the speed of light, as the Internet pumps information around the world and business strategies change on a dime.\nRead a full transcript of the podcast. Sponsor: Zoom Information, Inc.\nInternet search has been around for years, while seeking out new business partners is as old as business itself. Can finding the right relationships through the burgeoning "Business Web" effectively exploit and leverage the increasingly powerful technologies such as semantic search?\nAre businesses on the doorstep of vast new opportunities for the discovery of assets, resources, tacit knowledge and global business partner ecologies? To help answer these questions, I recently moderated a sponsored podcast on the new semantic search opportunity and explored how business relationships and the Business Web can be brought to bear on information overload and ecommerce value discovery.\nJoining me for the discussion are Russ Glass, vice president of product and marketing at ZoomInfo, and John Blossom, president of Shore Communications and a noted industry analyst.\nSearch engines have become a natural first point for not just Googling individuals to find general information or haphazard information, but to solve real, specific business and sales problems. In today’s environment, with so much information being published by individuals and institutions, search engines don’t necessarily provide the level of filtering that the average businessperson needs to be able to do solve problems effectively.\nBusinesses are getting much more intelligent about how they use the Web to present themselves as not just companies with shareware sites, but as publishers that provide in-depth information about their activities. At the same time, individuals in business are learning how to expose themselves through that instrument also.\nWhy bother? Well, our research shows that most people in business start on the open Web when they’re trying to solve a business problem and find business information, as opposed to going to internal subscription services. Certainly, subscription content is still a very important part of the equation, but many people -- knowing that companies are out there publishing information on the Web -- are going out to search engines to find the answers to their business questions.\nBusiness publications and corporations are all beginning to latch onto this idea and to use Web 2.0-style publishing to be able to reach people. We have individuals out there in business with Weblogs. We have CEO’s with Weblogs. We have PR departments with Weblogs. Everybody is pushing out and trying to engage the world in a conversation. Now, with all that information out there, the question is how we structure it. What we’re beginning to see in the Web environment is the use of more sophisticated content extraction technologies and analytics to be able to take those relationships and to present them more effectively to information systems.\nThere is a great example that Don Tapscott uses in his new book, Wikinomics. He talks about a gold mining company up in Canada that recognized all of a sudden that they had all sorts of potential deposits of gold, but they had no idea exactly where they were, and they wanted to get at them most efficiently. Their CEO happened to go to a seminar that was talking about open-source software and Linus Torvald's development of Linux.\nHe said to himself, “Well, let’s open-source our functions." He put all of their normally secretive information about geology and mineralogy, mineral deposits that were on that property, and he put it out on the open Web and asked people to find the gold. He put out a little reward money. They got input from over 1,000 people, and doubled the yield of that property in just a matter of weeks. ... The wisdom of crowds.\nListen to the podcast, or read the full transcript for more on new opportunities for Business Web search and discovery.

Just before his shooting spree at two Christchurch, New Zealand mosques, the alleged mass murderer posted a hate-filled manifesto on several file-sharing sites, and emailed the document to at least 30 people, including New Zealand's prime minister. He also posted on several social media sites links to the manifesto and instructions on how to find his Facebook profile to watch an upcoming video. The video turned out to be a 17-minute Facebook livestream of preparing for and carrying out the first attack on March 15. In his posts, the accused killer urged people to make copies of the manifesto and the video, and share them around the internet.\nOn March 23, the New Zealand government banned possession and sharing of the manifesto, and shortly thereafter arrested at least two people for having shared the video. By then, the original manifesto document and video file had long since been removed from the platforms where they were first posted. Yet plenty of people appear to have taken the shooter's advice, making copies and spreading them widely.\nTo find as many different versions of the manifesto as possible, I chose an unusual keyphrase, called a "hapax legomenon" in computational linguistics: a set of words that would only be found in the manifesto and nowhere else. For example, Google-searching the phrase "Schtitt uses an unamplified bullhorn" reveals that this phrase is used only in David Foster Wallace's novel "Infinite Jest" and nowhere else online (until now).\nA few minutes of Google-searching for a hapax from the manifesto (which I'm intentionally not revealing) found copies of the document in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF formats on dozens of file-sharing services, including DocDroid, DocumentCloud, Scribd, Mega and Dropbox. The file had been uploaded to blogs hosted on Wordpress and attached to message boards like Kiwi Farms. I also found numerous broken links to files that had been uploaded and quickly deleted, like the original versions that the author had uploaded to Mediafire and Zippyshare.\nAny change to a file – even a small one like adding a single letter to the manifesto or one extra second of video – will result in an entirely different file hash. All those changes made my analysis of the spread of these artifacts difficult – and also complicated social media companies' efforts to rid the internet of them.\nDespite the internet companies' claims that these problems will disappear as artificial intelligence matures, a collection of "alt-tech" companies are working to ensure that hate-fueled artifacts like the manifesto and video can spread unbidden.\nJust 24 hours after the mosque attacks, Monster explained on Gab that he shared the manifesto and video file onto IPFS, or the "Interplanetary File System," a decentralized peer-to-peer file sharing network. Files on IPFS are split into many pieces, each distributed among many participants on the network, making the removal of a file nearly impossible. IPFS had previously been a niche technology, relatively unknown even among extremists. Now, calling IPFS a "crazy clever technology" that makes files "effectively uncensorable," Monster reassured Gab users that he was also developing software to make IPFS "easy for anyone ... with no technical skills required."\nAs in-person hate groups were sued into obscurity in the 1980s, extremism went underground. But with the advent of the commercial internet, hate groups quickly moved online, and eventually onto social media. The New Zealand attacker was part of a far-right social media "meme" culture, where angry men (and some women) justify their grievances with violent, hateful rhetoric.\nWidespread adoption of artificial intelligence on platforms and decentralized tools like IPFS will mean that the online hate landscape will change once again. Combating online extremism in the future may be less about "meme wars" and user-banning, or "de-platforming," and could instead look like the attack-and-defend, cat-and-mouse technical one-upsmanship that has defined the cybersecurity industry since the 1980s.\nMegan Squire is a professor of Computer Science, Elon University. |

Saint Peter (Latin: Petrus, Greek: Πέτρος Petros, Syriac/Aramaic: ܫܸܡܥܘܿܢ ܟܹ݁ܐܦ݂ܵܐ, Shemayon Keppa, Hebrew: שמעון בר יונה Shim'on Bar Yona; died c. 64 AD), also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simōn, according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Church. The Roman Catholic Church considers him to be the first Pope, ordained by Jesus in the "Rock of My Church" dialogue in Matthew 16:18. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and associate him with founding the Church of Antioch and later the Church in Rome, but differ about the authority of his various successors in present-day Christianity.\nThe New Testament indicates that Peter was the son of John (or Jonah or Jona) and was from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee or Gaulanitis. His brother Andrew was also an apostle. According to New Testament accounts, Peter was one of twelve apostles chosen by Jesus from his first disciples. Originally a fisherman, he played a leadership role and was with Jesus during events witnessed by only a few apostles, such as the Transfiguration. According to the gospels, Peter confessed Jesus as the Messiah, was part of Jesus's inner circle, thrice denied Jesus, and preached on the day of Pentecost.\nAccording to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar. It is traditionally held that he was crucified upside down at his own request, since he saw himself unworthy to be crucified in the same way as Jesus. Tradition holds that he was crucified at the site of the Clementine Chapel. His mortal remains are said to be those contained in the underground Confessio of St. Peter's Basilica, where Pope Paul VI announced in 1968 the excavated discovery of a first-century Roman cemetery. Every June 29 since 1736, a statue of Saint Peter in St. Peter's Basilica is adorned with papal tiara, ring of the fisherman, and papal vestments, as part of the celebration of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. According to Catholic doctrine, the direct papal successor to Saint Peter is Pope Francis.\nTwo general epistles in the New Testament are ascribed to Peter; however, some biblical scholars reject the Petrine authorship of both. The Gospel of Mark was traditionally thought to show the influence of Peter's preaching and eyewitness memories. Several other books bearing his name – the Acts of Peter, Gospel of Peter, Preaching of Peter, Apocalypse of Peter, and Judgment of Peter – are considered by Christian churches as apocryphal.\nGuardian of the Catholic Church; Kiev, Guardian of Vatican City; protector of the Jewish people,police officers, military, grocers, mariners, paratroopers, sickness. |
It’s near impossible to convince most people to NOT kill the spiders they see in their home. Most spiders are harmless and actually quite useful.\nUnfortunately peoples first response when seeing these little arachnoids is to kill them. These little creatures can help your home in a big way.\n“How So?!” you may ask… Pest control!\nThey serve as very effective pest control! Most spiders found in the home have no interest in you and will only go after common indoor pests, such as Roaches, Earwigs, Mosquitoes, Flies and Clothes Moths.

Kyle was born on June 12, 1980 and was raised near Cheyenne, Wyoming. Kyle’s training with the arts began very early, but with no formal regimen in place. His talent and interest was recognized early by his parents and they nurtured and encouraged this passion. He had very intelligent art teachers throughout his school years that taught him the fundamentals and principals of art, but also had the ability to let Kyle run with things when they saw the chance versus forcing him into their view of “good art”. Kyle also enjoyed the competition that came with athletics, including cross country, basketball, and track. But it was around the age of 13 that he can remember having a strong interest building towards painting animals in particular.\nAt the age of 16 Kyle began taking workshops from artists making a living from their work. Some notable teachers were artists named Terry Isaac, Daniel Smith, and Paco Young. Kyle began to heavily study the works of those who painted wildlife in a realistic manner and in the medium of acrylics. He used acrylics for five to six years following this time and recalls it as being a great way to continue his improvement with drawing and layering with paint. Acrylic dries very quickly and made the layering process more efficient.\nPaco Young was very influential with Kyle’s development. It was Paco that really hammered home on how important it was to get outside and paint from life. Painting in the field altered the way Kyle sees, not only his subjects, but how it can help an artist to make a more pleasing painting. This method will, over time, train your eye to become accustomed to how actual life appears to the human eye/brain.\nEvery year, Kyle’s tastes with painting and art continue to evolve through practice and study. This isn’t something forced, but rather a product of time and passion, bordering on obsession. We invite you to join Kyle on this journey and make some discoveries of your own. Kyle’s work can be found in Jackson, Wyoming and Scottsdale, Arizona. A few, select paintings have been chosen for publication by Somerset Fine Art. |
Google has said that they’ve adjusted how they estimate how many pages of a website are found in their search index.\nA day after Google came out with this statement, the Google Index Status report updated, which resulted in the reported numbers going back to the old count.\nBarry Schwartz asked Google why would they decided to go back tot he old count if the newer lower count number was more accurate.\nIn a Google hangout, which took place on September 8th, John Mueller of Google answered Barry’s question, saying that the timing of the release was just a coincidence. Not only did they update how they estimate index saturation of a website, but at the same time, Google had a bug in their Index Status report. It was because of this bug that the drop in index count was so significant back then.\n“I think that was just a normal data glitch. Something got messed up with the counts, and we kind of showed that in Search Console. |
Welcome to 1968 2.0, the new and improved chaos, featuring a cutting edge assault on our foundational principles by an idiot elite that thinks it can gut the rule of law without consequence. Time to reboot, to wipe the hard drive and reload the factory software coded two-plus centuries ago by those dead white male geniuses.\nExcept I don’t think this country’s elite has the character, nor understands our constitutional technology enough, to do it. I think it fails to appreciate what is going on outside its cloisters, among those weird, patriotic, religious, and – significantly – armed people living in uncool places between the coasts. I think it believes this anger is a passing fad, that it can bluff and bully its way through it the way it did to previous challenges to its rule.\nObama and the progressive elite were not satisfied merely with exonerating the clearly guilty Hillary Clinton of charges that would have sent any mere mortal to the slammer. They had to shove it in our faces. The AG met with Bill Clinton. Then the FBI director laid out a devastating case, followed by an “and…nope.” Then President Faily McWorsethancarter swept her away in Air Force One – at our expense – to campaign with her and even placed her at a podium with the presidential seal while the liberal media thrilled and quivered. This is beyond mere corruption. This is them gloating over what they see as their unassailable power. This is them laughing at us.\nThen Obama made yet another speech telling us how cops are racist. Understand that his attacks on cops are an attack on all of us normal Americans. Like soldiers, the police come from the ranks of us normal Americans, not the elite. And just as with soldiers, we normals revere cops as symbolic of the best of how we see ourselves – loyal, brave, patriotic protectors of order and decency. Obama – the guy who immediately assumed a Cambridge cop acted “stupidly” – as well as Hillary Clinton and the liberal elite, attacked cops as racist and evil as surrogates for attacking us as racist and evil.\nAnd then yet another racial malcontent went on a shooting spree. The Los Angeles cop killer, the Virginia TV reporter, and now this creep in Dallas, all full of racist hate, and not one damn word about it from the elite. The motive hurt the narrative; they wanted to talk about cops oppressing people, so the elite simply lied by its silence about the Dallas killer’s expressly racist motive. And their media love-slaves obliged; when it became clear that this clown who couldn’t make E4 after six years was essentially just a Black Lives Matter supporter in a hurry, the story faded away.\nBut the lies did not fade away. Obama came out, feigned ignorance about motive (“We many never know what motivated the guy who expressly said that he was motivated by a desire to murder white cops.”), and blamed us yet again – this time for our stubborn refusal to disarm ourselves to please people who hate us and who refuse to acknowledge what drives those who say outright that they intend to murder us.\nDid Obama try unity? Of course not – he divided Americans into the good ones who agree with him and us bad ones who refuse to kneel and bow. Leftists don’t want unity and they don’t want peace. Community organizers succeed when they divide; they need discord and hate to survive. Understand that all this discord and hate is not a bug. To them, it is a feature.\nAnd this strategy is really, really dumb. It’s dumb because this country is not one big Chicago. It’s not one discrete, dysfunctional tumor surrounded by healthy tissue. The progressives can afford to play their games in the Chicagos and Austins and Berkeleys because outside the city limits there are normals of every race, color, and creed whose work feeds and powers and defends the elite’s urban petri dishes of blue model failure. They can live out their lefty fantasies because we normals subsidize them through our normalcy, like parents from Orange County paying tuition at Oberlin so their blonde daughter can learn how there’s no such thing as gender while she majors in Anti-Colonialist Pottery.\nBut what happens when they try to do that to the whole country? This time, the normals can’t just move away. Instead of driving them out, now the elite has to suppress normal Americans in place. They don’t realize that they are putting our backs against the wall.\nAnd you have to wonder – have the elites considered their endgame? Because they may have learned the wrong lesson when they drove all the normals out of the Chicagos and Austins and Berkeleys. They may actually believe that normal Americans can just be bullied and badgered into submission. This is a very, very, very dangerous notion.\nSee how that works out, but check your dental coverage first. Now, think about how that strategy is going to work out in our country as a whole.\nWhat’s the endgame here, liberals? Do you see over half the country just . . . giving up? Surrendering? Throwing in the towel once you have sufficiently nagged and insulted them? Or do you see them getting mad? Your media lackeys keep attributing phenomena like Trump and even Sanders to “anger.” Well, yeah. Right now, they are expressing that anger through legitimate means, at the ballot box. But what happens when you decide you’re going to step outside the law once again to ensure that their lawful expression of that anger is silenced?\nDo you expect that normals will just shrug and submit? What if they don’t? How many of the 60,000-70,000 guns Americans buy every single day do you elites purchase?\nWhat’s the endgame? What happens when – and the day will come – the normals say “No?” Does the elite try force? There’s no doubt it would if it could, but in the end, it needs to ask itself another question: Exactly who is willing to fight and die for their liberal Utopia? The elitists themselves? Their snowflakey kids Kaden and Ashleigh? Do they think they can pay enough people to suit up and go make people conform? How much money will you need to pay somebody to risk his skin to go down to Texas and try to take those Lone Star knuckle-draggers’ guns?\nOh, this is crazy talk! Hey, another right winger threatening rebellion! You know, the elite’s tactics of attacking strawmen and deliberately lying about political opponents pioneered by Obama and the Jon Stewart clones makes reasoned discussion almost impossible, and the malicious dishonesty underlying these ploys only ratchets up the anger. Eliminate the legitimate modes of opposition and you’ll leave only illegitimate modes of opposition.\nI am not advocating the consequences that I see coming from the elite’s actions; to say so is a lie, though I suspect that will not stop them from lying about this column in the comments and elsewhere. I am only predicting the likely consequences of the elite’s unwise and malicious campaign against those it hates and seeks to rule.\nBut here is another way. Step back from the brink and reboot. Stop the corruption. Embrace the rule of law. Listen to those you have ignored. Hear what they say. Drop the divisive initiatives designed to humiliate and bring normals to heel – the gun grabs, the bathroom edicts, the Christian cake baker pogroms.\nBut if you can’t do that, if you can’t give up the money and the power, if the joy of inflicting petty oppressions and humiliations upon the people you look down on is just too satisfying to pass up, then ask yourself: What is your endgame?\nPowerful and accurate, Rufus. Lays down pretty clearly the battle lines for the next Civil War.\nYeah, it was a long article but I went ahead and posted it all rather than just the link because I didn't know what to leave out.\nThis part does bear repeating, though.\nThe guy's a good writer.\nHere's hoping there are enough normals to effect a reboot.\nGood to see you, algernonpj. Hope you're enjoying a speedy recovery.\nObama: Giving sociopaths a bad name since 2006. |
Gammex Inc. appeals the district court's entry of judgment on Dunbar Medical Systems Inc.'s fraudulent inducement claim, arguing that two clauses in the parties' settlement agreement or Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11 bar that claim. Gammex further contends that the court erred in finding that there was no intent to perform at the time the alleged misrepresentationswere made, in awarding punitive damages given the existence of contract language barring the recovery of such damages, in awarding punitive damages given the elements of fraud had not been proved by clear and convincing evidence, and in awarding pre-judgment interest on both compensatory and punitive damages. We affirm the entry of judgment and the award of punitive damages, and reform the judgment solely to clarify the pre-judgment interest award.\nGammex Inc. is a manufacturer of teleradiology equipment, which is used to digitize data from a medium such as x-ray film or ultrasound and to transmit those data to a remote unit for purposes of medical review and diagnosis. Until 1994, Ms. Linda Dunbar, president and sole shareholder of Dunbar Medical Systems, Inc. ("DMSI"), was an independent distributor of teleradiology equipment for Gammex.1 A by-product of the dissolution of the parties' relationship was a lawsuit, filed by Gammex on April 28, 1994, in which Gammex sought return of equipment and damages ("1994 Litigation"). In February 1995, DMSI filed a counterclaim asserting breach of contract, fraud, defamation, and various other claims against Gammex. Shortly before trial, the parties executed a Settlement Agreement. That Agreement is the focus of the case before us.\nDiscussions leading up to the execution of the Settlement Agreement occurred between December 1995 and July 1996. In December, the parties participated in unsuccessful court-ordered mediation. Sometime thereafter, Ms. Margaret Lescrenier, a vice-president of Gammex, telephoned Ms. Dunbar to discuss settlement terms, including the possibility of transferring equipment to DMSI in lieu of cash. The district court found that in that conversation, Ms. Dunbar told Ms. Lescrenier that she did not want to consider older Courier II units because they had software and hardware defects.2 According to Ms. Dunbar, Ms. Lescrenier assured her that the units would be new and come from the latest run of fifty manufactured by Gammex and would be problem free. A follow-up letter dated February 1, 1996 faxed by Ms. Lescrenier to Ms. Dunbar listed various equipment, including ten Courier II units, that Gammex was willing to give DMSI. The letter gave a list price of the Courier II units of $10,000 each, a total list priceof all offered equipment of $203,600, and stated that " [t]he majority of the above equipment is new, never been used. Some of the Courier computers were demonstration units."\nOn February 8, Ms. Dunbar sent a fax to Ms. Lescrenier that responded to the proposal. That transmission included a list of the same equipment along with dealer transfer prices. Ms. Dunbar's fax indicated that, based on the dealer prices, the actual value of Gammex's proposal was $44,654.25. Ms. Dunbar also stated that she did not "know what to do" with some of the listed equipment, and that there had to be a cash settlement along with the equipment package.\nThese discussions were outlined in a fax dated February 26. That communication (1) explained the equipment substituted for the items for which Ms. Dunbar indicated she had no use; (2) made reference to an exclusive dealer contract, a definition of a sales territory, service arrangements, and assistance with advertising that were agreed to in earlier mediation proceedings, and (3) offered $50,000 in cash. The total list price associated with the new equipment package was $203,975, and again, the communication indicated that the majority of the equipment was "new, never been used" and that " [s]ome of the Courier computers were demonstration units." The fax also stated that Ms. Dunbar had "misstated the value of the equipment in the original list" in her February 8 response.\nNegotiations resumed in late April, when Ms. Dunbar's attorney contacted Gammex's counsel. By April, DMSI was no longer interested in maintaining certain relationships with Gammex,4 and it indicated that several aspects of the earlier proposals were no longer of value (e.g., a new distributorship agreement, assistance with advertising). Negotiations between the parties' counsel dealt, inter alia, with the amount of cash Gammex was to pay to DMSI, the equipment to be transferred (e.g., whether mouses and cables were included, whether a six-month warranty would be included, configuration and programming issues), the availability of documentation regarding the equipment, the availability of discounts on such items as replacement parts, responsibility for shipping and insurance costs, and the timing of the delivery of the cash and the equipment. Thus, the focus of the second stage was on the consideration Gammex was to give DMSI in return for DMSI releasing its claims.\nThe parties eventually agreed to Gammex's releasing claims related to the 1994 Litigation, and transferring to DMSI the equipment listed in Ms. Lescrenier's second proposal and $70,000 in cash. The final agreement included three express warranties: (1) that Gammex "has good and clear title to the Equipment, and that the Equipment is free of all liens, mortgages and encumbrances at the time of shipment to Dunbar Medical"; (2) that the equipment "is either new and has never been used, or has previously been used as demonstration or loaner equipment"; and (3) that the "Equipment, at the time of shipment to Dunbar Medical, is working and operational in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications applicable to each item included in the Equipment." In return, DMSI agreed to release claims related to the 1994 Litigation. The agreement was signed by Ms. Dunbar, on behalf of herself and DMSI, on July 18, 1996; Charles Lescrenier, Gammex's CEO, signed the agreement on July 23, 1996.\nAs per the agreement, Gammex transferred $70,000 to DMSI. The parties dismissed, with prejudice, their respective claims. Ms. Dunbar sent to Gammex instructions regarding how the Courier II units were to be configured and programmed. DMSI received equipment from Gammex, albeit after the date stated in the Agreement. After receiving the equipment, some of which was damaged in transit, Ms. Dunbar determined through testing that it differed in significant ways from what it had been represented to be.\nAs a result, on November 11, 1996, DMSI filed in the 152nd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas an action asserting breach of contract and fraud claims. Gammex removed the case on December 23, 1996 to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.5 In response to the district court's granting of Gammex's November 28, 1997 motion for a more definite statement, DMSI filed a first amended complaint on January 16, 1998. In that complaint, DMSI alleged breach of contract and fraudulent inducement, and sought $150,000 in compensatory damages, $600,000 in punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorney fees.\nGammex filed a motion for summary judgment on February 2, 1998, arguing, inter alia, that under the Texas Supreme Court's decision in Schlumberger Technology Corporation v. Swanson, 959 S.W.2d 171 (Tex. 1997), the Settlement Agreement barred DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim.6 The district court denied Gammex's motion on March 4, 1998, and also denied Gammex's subsequent motion to reconsider.7 A three-day bench trial began March 31, 1998. Gammex's motion for a judgment as a matter of law was denied.\nThe evidence revealed that some of the highly technical equipment was not only not new, but outmoded, or defective, or had been used not merely for demonstration or loaner purposes. The ten Courier II units were not programmed as set forth by Linda Dunbar in breach of Paragraph 2.2 of the Agreement. The evidence, both testimonial and spreadsheet documentation, showed that upon arrival, none of the ten Courier IIs captured images off the digitizer or ultrasound and that the equipment did not meet specifications provided to Gammex by DMSI . . . . [C]redible testimony established that a large portion of the equipment was not new, but used, and some nonoperational or only partly operational. Despite Linda Dunbar's insistence that she wanted Courier II units from the last production run that did not have the hard drive and software problems identified in the state court suit, none of the equipment sent to DMSI was manufactured later than 1993, and most was manufactured between 1990-1992. It included old, discontinued models . . . . Some of the equipment had been used and taken back by Gammex as trade-ins or exchanges.\nThe court also noted Ms. Dunbar's testimony that the August 1996 value of the transferred equipment was no more than $20,000. It held that as a result of Gammex's breach, DMSI was entitled to $150,000 in benefit-of-the-bargain damages and to $35,200 in attorney fees.\nThe court went on to find that Gammex had fraudulently induced DMSI to enter into the Settlement Agreement. Ms. Lescrenier was found by the court to have knowingly made false statements regarding the transferred equipment's value, condition, and age. The court found that the estimates of the equipment's value were "deliberately and greatly inflated." Ms. Lescrenier's statements, which were found by the district court not to be expressions of opinion, were made with the intention of causing Ms. Dunbar to rely on them and settle the parties' dispute. Ms. Dunbar was found to have relied on Ms. Lescrenier's statements and to have been injured as a result. The court determined that Gammex's fraud entitled DMSI to $150,000 in benefit-of-the-bargain damages, and $300,000 in punitive damages.\nAs a result of these determinations, the court ordered on November 23, 1998 that DMSI submit a proposed final judgment, and allowed Gammex to file objections to that proposed judgment. On February 22, 1999, the court entered final judgment, which, not surprisingly, reflected DMSI's election to recover under its fraud in the inducement cause of action. The court awarded DMSI $150,000 in compensatory damages, $300,000 in punitive damages, and pre- and post-judgment interest. Gammex timely appealed.\nBefore us, Gammex challenges only the district court's entry of judgment on DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, its award of $300,000 in punitive damages, and its award of pre-judgment interest on those punitive damages.8 In general, Gammex contends that (1) DMSI's claim is barred, either by the Settlement Agreement's terms or by Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11; (2) the evidence does not support the court's finding of no intent to perform; (3) the Agreement bars the punitive damage award; (4) DMSI has not met its statutory burden in proving entitlement to such damages; and (5) the lower court improperly awarded pre-judgment interest on punitive damages. We note that Gammex does not challenge the lower court's findings that Ms. Lescrenier made the statements that are at the heart of DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, that the statements included misrepresentations of fact, or that Ms. Dunbar relied on Ms. Lescrenier's statements. In assessing Gammex's arguments, we apply the well-established standard of review applicable to bench trials, examining questions of law de novo, and reviewing findings of fact for clear error. See Gebreyesus v. F.C. Schaffer & Assocs., Inc., 204 F.3d 639, 642 (5th Cir. 2000).\nGammex contends that under Schlumberger Technology Corporation v. Swanson, 959 S.W.2d 171 (Tex. 1997), two provisions within the Settlement Agreement operate to bar DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim. The first is an "as is" clause, which provides that " [e]xcept as expressly provided for herein, the equipment is conveyed and transferred by Gammex to Dunbar Medical as is, where is, and with all faults, and there are no warranties which extend beyond the description of the equipment on the face of exhibit 'A' attached hereto."9 ¶ 2.2. The second provision, a merger clause, provides that the Settlement Agreement "contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreement, oral or otherwise between the parties with reference thereto and not embodied herein shall be of any force." ¶ 4.2.\nThe district court rejected Gammex's argument in its review of Gammex's motion for summary judgment. It distinguished Schlumberger from the case sub judice by noting that "while the agreement here may appear to Gammex to be an integrated one, there was no express, specific disclaim of reliance on Gammex's alleged statements and representations." We also reject Gammex's argument, but do so for somewhat different reasons.\nIn Schlumberger, the Texas Supreme Court recognized the inherent tension between the principle that the " [p]arties should be able to bargain for and execute a release barring all further dispute," 959 S.W.2d at 179, and prior authority holding that clauses in contracts, including merger and disclaimer provisions, need not bar subsequent claims of fraudulent inducement. See id. at 178-79. The court held that "a release that clearly expresses the parties' intent to waive fraudulent inducement claims, or one that disclaims reliance on representations about specific matters in dispute, can preclude a claim of fraudulent inducement," but also emphasized that "a disclaimer of reliance or merger clause will not always bar" such a claim.10 Id. at 181. Because the parties should be able to rely on their negotiated disclaimer or merger clauses to resolve fully their disputes, the question for the court was "under which circumstances such disclaimers are binding." Id. at 179. For the answer to this question, the court looked to " [t]he contract and the circumstances surrounding its formation . . . ." Id.; see also Prudential Ins. Co. v. Jefferson Assocs., Ltd., 896 S.W.2d 156, 162 (Tex. 1995) (stating that, in determining whether an "as is" clause is unenforceable, " [t]he nature of the transaction and the totality of the circumstances surrounding the agreement must be considered").\nWe read Schlumberger as holding that particular contract clauses may, under certain limited circumstances, curtail the contracting parties' ability to challenge the contract's validity on fraudulent inducement grounds. Schlumberger gives us some indication of what those circumstances may include. That the negotiating parties in Schlumberger were represented by counsel, were experts in the subject matter of the negotiations, and were bargaining at arm's length were important to the court.11 See Schlumberger, 959 S.W.2d at 180. In addition, the court noted that at the center of the parties' dispute was the object of the alleged misrepresentations -- the value of the mining project -- and that the sole purpose of the unambiguous release was to end that dispute "once and for all." Id.\nWe must assess whether Gammex and DMSI's Settlement Agreement "clearly expresses the parties' intent to waive fraudulent inducement claims, or . . . disclaims reliance on representations about specific matters in dispute." Id. at 181. The parties in the instant action were represented by counsel, and bargained at arm's length over the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The final bargain struck exchanged releases of claims for equipment and cash. Both parties could be considered extremely knowledgeable about the type of equipment reflected in the agreement -- one manufactured and marketed that equipment, the other was previously a distributor of the equipment.\nWe nonetheless conclude that under the circumstances of this case, the "as is" and merger clauses do not bar DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim. The Agreement reflects that Gammex and DMSI specifically contemplated future, although not continuing, interactions with one another. DMSI had the right to send one employee to Gammex's offices for training on the Courier II and other equipment, Gammex was to provide DMSI free support by telephone for one year, and Gammex agreed to apply for one year its standard trade discount to DMSI's purchases of replacement parts and supplies. In addition to future interactions, the parties contemplated future disputes related to the Settlement Agreement. A punitive-damages provision in that Agreement presupposes a claim arising from or related to it. This suggests that the parties were not seeking to end all disputes between them "once and for all." Schlumberger, 959 S.W.2d at 180. Although these observations are not dispositive, they frame our analysis of the "as is" and merger clauses.\nAs the Texas Supreme Court noted in Prudential Insurance, although an "as is" clause can negate a claim that a seller's conduct caused a buyer injury, see 896 S.W.2d at 161, such a clause is not always enforceable. See id. at 162. The court explicitly noted that fraud used to induce agreement was a circumstance that rendered that clause unenforceable. See id. ("A buyer is not bound by an agreement to purchase something 'as is' that he is induced to make because of a fraudulent representation or concealment of information by the seller."). The issue at hand is whether the "as is" clause demonstrates the parties' clear intent to waive fraudulent inducement claims or disclaim reliance on representations about specific matters in dispute. See Schlumberger, 959 S.W.2d at 181.\nWe conclude that it does not. The misrepresentations in this case went to the condition of the equipment (i.e., its "newness" and its being problem-free). The contract specifically warrants that the equipment be either "new and . . . never . . . used, or . . . previously . . . used as demonstration or loaner equipment" and that it would be "working and operational in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications . . . ." The "as is" clause specifically excepts the other explicit warranties. Under these circumstances, we cannot conclude that DMSI, in agreeing to the "as is" clause, disclaimed reliance on Gammex's representations regarding the equipment's age or functioning, or intended to waive fraudulent inducement claims.

(holding that an "as is" clause that specifically excluded other warranties did not apply to the purported misrepresentation and thus did not bar the fraudulent inducement claim).\nGammex also argues that under the Texas Supreme Court's opinion in Padilla v. LaFrance, 907 S.W.2d 454 (Tex. 1995), Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11 makes oral representations made in the course of negotiating a settlement agreement unenforceable.14 As a result, DMSI cannot rely on Ms. Lescrenier's statements to support a claim of fraudulent inducement. Gammex takes issue with the district court's rejection of this argument, contending that the court erred in concluding that because the Settlement Agreement was to be performed in less than one year, the statute of frauds does not apply.\nLike the district court, we conclude that Gammex's argument must be rejected, although we base our decision on different reasoning. In Padilla, the Texas Supreme Court faced the question of whether a series of letters between parties constituted an agreement that satisfied Rule 11's writing requirement. Analogizing to the statute of frauds, the court held that the letters evidenced a binding agreement, in part because they reflected "all material terms of the agreement." 907 S.W.2d at 460-61. Gammex wishes to use language within the Padilla opinion to require that all oral representations made in the context of settlement negotiations be in writing in order to be enforceable. See id. at 460 ("To satisfy the statute of frauds, 'there must be a written memorandum which is complete within itself in every material detail . . . .'" (quoting Cohen v. McCutchin, 565 S.W.2d 230, 232 (Tex. 1978))). Gammex contends that because oral settlement agreements are unenforceable as a matter of law, no claim of fraudulent inducement can be brought. It looks to Weakly v. East, 900 S.W.2d 755, 758 (Tex. App. 1995, writ denied), for support for this contention.\nWe find Weakly distinguishable on its facts. In that case, plaintiffs alleged that defendants, in an effort to forestall the sale of the real estate to another buyer and to purchase that property at a lower price in a foreclosure sale, promised to purchase real estate with no intention of actually carrying out that promise. See id. at 758. The court found that the essence of the fraud claim was the oral promise to purchase realty. See id. Because a contract for the sale of realty is not enforceable unless in writing, and because the alleged fraud did not prevent the necessary writing, the court found that summary judgment in favor of the defendants was proper on the fraud claim. See id.\nGammex's argument could have more force if DMSI was seeking to enforce as a contract an alleged oral settlement agreement between Ms. Dunbar and Ms. Lescrenier. Here, however, DMSI challenges the validity of the signed Agreement. Unlike the plaintiffs in Weakly, DMSI alleges that Gammex's actions constituted fraud in the inducement -- the writing, signed by the parties, was procured by Ms. Lescrenier's misrepresentations as to the condition of the equipment to be transferred. This allegation cannot be said to be an attempt to by-pass the statute of frauds via a fraud claim, or an attempt to enforce an otherwise unenforceable oral settlement agreement. DMSI's injury stems from Gammex's alleged violation of its independent legal duty not to procure a contract with DMSI through fraud. See Formosa Plastics Corp. USA v. Presidio Engineers & Contractors, 960 S.W.2d 41, 46 (Tex. 1998).\nGammex seeks to distinguish Formosa on the ground that it involves a contract, rather than a settlement agreement. Rule 11 applies only to settlement agreements. Although it is clear that a settlement agreement must be in writing to be enforceable under Texas courts' interpretation of Rule 11, we must reject Gammex's attempt to rely on the scope of that Rule to negate DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim. We can think of no principled reason for distinguishing between fraudulent inducement claims targeting contracts and those targeting settlement agreements, and Texas law provides us with no cause to do so.\nUnder Texas law, a party claiming fraudulent inducement must demonstrate (1) a material representation, (2) that was false, (3) that was either known to be false when made or was asserted without knowledge of the truth, (4) that was intended to be acted upon, (5) was relied upon, and (6) that caused injury. See Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 47; DeSantis v. Wackenhut Corp., 793 S.W.2d 670, 688 (Tex. 1990), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 1048 (1991). "A promise of future performance constitutes an actionable misrepresentation if the promise was made with no intention of performing at the time it was made." Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 48.\nGammex contends that the district court erred in finding that Ms. Lescrenier intended not to perform at the time she represented that the transferred Courier IIs would come from the last production run and would be problem free. To support this contention, it points to the fact that the Ms. Lescrenier's proposals were not fully accepted in February, to evidence that Ms. Lescrenier relied on a list of available equipment prepared by Mr. Sopotnick, and to evidence that Ms. Lescrenier did not participate in the second stage of negotiations. Gammex urges us to conclude that the evidence supporting the lower court's finding of the requisite intent is "so weak that it creates only a mere surmise or suspicion of its existence," T.O. Stanley Boot Co. v. Bank of El Paso, 847 S.W.2d 218, 222 (Tex. 1992), and is thus insufficient.\nOur review of the district court's finding is limited. Under the Federal Rules, "due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the trial court to judge of the credibility of the witnesses." Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(a); see also Coury v. Prot, 85 F.3d 244, 254 (5th Cir. 1996). "The burden of showing that the findings of the district court are clearly erroneous is heavier if the credibility of witnesses is a factor in the trial court's decision." Id. at 254 (citing Village Fair Shopping Ctr. v. Broadhead, 588 F.2d 431, 434 n.2 (5th Cir. 1979)). In this case, the trial judge specifically noted her assessments of Ms. Dunbar's, Ms. Lescrenier's, and Mr. Sopotnick's credibility.\nWe do not emerge from our review of the record with a "'definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.'" Concrete Pipe & Prods of Cal., Inc. v. Construction Laborers Pension Trust for S. Cal., 508 U.S. 602, 622 (1993) (quoting United States v. United States Gypsum Co., 333 U.S. 364, 395 (1948)). Evidence indicates that although Ms. Lescrenier was not an active participant in the last rounds of negotiations, her second February proposal was a basis upon which those negotiations built. Although Ms. Lescrenier indicated in her testimony that Gammex's inventory changed between February and August, when the equipment was shipped, Mr. Sopotnick testified that there was no change. He also testified that Ms. Lescrenier accompanied him when he reviewed the inventory to assess what equipment was available. Given this and other evidence in the record, we conclude that the district court's finding is not clearly erroneous.\nBecause we conclude that the district court did not err in entering judgment on DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, we turn to Gammex's challenges to the lower court's punitive damages and pre-judgment interest decisions. With regard to punitive damages, Gammex contends that the district court erred in not enforcing a contractual provision in which DMSI explicitly released claims for punitive damages, and that DMSI is not entitled to such damages because it has not met its statutory burden of proof.\nAs to any and all claims that may be asserted by Dunbar Medical or Dunbar arising from or in any way relating to this Settlement Agreement, including but not limited to the Equipment, in no event shall Dunbar Medical or Dunbar be entitled to recover special, consequential or punitive damages, and recovery of special, consequential or punitive damages shall be absolutely precluded.\nGammex contends that this language must be interpreted as a release of DMSI's punitive damages claim, and that because the clause was freely negotiated, it bars DMSI's recovery of such damages.\nIn general, a party is not bound by a fraudulently induced contract. See Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 46; Prudential Ins., 896 S.W.2d at 162. Underlying this rule is the notion that a party induced by fraud to enter into an agreement has not provided the assent necessary to make a binding contract. See Dallas Farm Mach. Co., 307 S.W.2d at 240; Edward Thompson Co. v. Sawyers, 234 S.W. 873, 874 (Tex. 1921) ("Contracts, though reduced to writing, are avoided when induced by material promises, never intended to be kept, not because one is allowed to vary his written contract, but because real assent is essential to a binding contract."). "One who is entitled to avoid an entire written contract because it lacked his assent can no longer be held bound by any of its stipulations . . . ." Sawyers, 234 S.W. at 874-75.\nBecause a party is not bound by a contract he was induced by fraud to enter, we find inapplicable Memorial Medical Center v. Keszler, 943 S.W.2d 433 (Tex. 1997), a case Gammex relies upon to support its contention that the punitive damages provision is enforceable. In Memorial Medical, the Texas Supreme Court determined, inter alia, that a post-injury release of claims for gross negligence is not against public policy. See id. at 435. The settlement agreement and release at issue in the case were considered valid documents. See id. at 434 ("The parties . . . have not contested the validity of the release or claimed ambiguity or fraud in its execution."). Thus, the issue regarded the enforceability of a clause within the contract, not the validity of the contract. Here, we consider whether a clause in a contract otherwise unenforceable against DMSI may nonetheless preclude punitive damages. We hold that it cannot. Because DMSI was found to have been induced into entering the Settlement Agreement by Gammex's fraud, the district court did not err in concluding that the Agreement's punitive damages provision was not binding on DMSI.\nGammex next argues that DMSI has not met its burden under section 41.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and therefore is not entitled to a punitive damages award. Section 41.003(a) provides that a claimant prove "by clear and convincing evidence that the harm with respect to which the claimant seeks recovery of exemplary damages results from (1) fraud, (2) malice, or (3) wilful act or mission or gross neglect in wrongful death actions . . . ." Gammex attacks the lack of "clear and convincing" evidence supporting a finding of no intent to perform on the part of Ms. Lescrenier, and argues that this case exhibits neither the "evil mind," Transportation Ins. Co. v. Moriel, 879 S.W.2d 10, 18 (Tex. 1994), nor the "extraordinary harm," id. at 24, that are required under Texas law to award punitive damages.\nGammex's reliance on Moriel and other cases building on its principles is misplaced. The cases cited each deal with allegations of bad faith. See State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. v. Simmons, 963 S.W.2d 42 (Tex. 1998) (involving allegations that insurance company breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing); Universe Life Ins. Co. v. Giles, 950 S.W.2d 48 (Tex. 1997) (same); Moriel, 879 S.W.2d at 14 (same). As subsequent Texas Supreme Court decisions have recognized, Moriel "clarified the requirements for the imposition of punitive damages in a bad faith case." Simmons, 963 S.W.2d at 47; see also Giles, 950 S.W.2d at 54 (noting Moriel limits recovery of punitive damages in bad faith cases to, among others, those able to show fraudulent conduct in addition to bad faith).\nThis is a fraud case. Under section 41.003(a), DMSI had the burden of demonstrating that its harm was due to Gammex's fraud. The statute defines fraud to be "fraud other than constructive fraud." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 41.001(6). As the Texas Supreme Court has noted, " [a] finding of intent to harm or conscious indifference to the rights of others will support an award of exemplary damages. In [Trenholm v. Ratcliff, 646 S.W.2d 927, 933 (Tex. 1983)], this court held that a fraudulent inducement was enough to support at least a finding of conscious indifference." Spoljaric, 708 S.W.2d at 436 (internal citations omitted). DMSI did not also need to show malice, as the statute is explicit in providing that a claimant needs to show harm from fraud or malice.\nDMSI was required to show by clear and convincing evidence the elements of punitive damages provided in section 41.003(a). See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 41.003(b). Clear and convincing evidence is "that measure or degree of proof which will produce in the mind of the trier of fact a firm belief or conviction as to the truth of the allegations sought to be established." Id. § 41.001(2). Gammex contends only that evidence is insufficient to support a finding that Ms. Lescrenier had no intent to perform when she assured Ms. Dunbar of the condition of the equipment to be transferred. We have considered the evidence under the clear error standard and have rejected Gammex's argument. It fares no better under the standard applicable here. Thus, we conclude that the district court did not err in awarding punitive damages.\nFor the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court's entry of judgment on DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, and its award of punitive damages. We reform the judgment to clarify that pre-judgment interest at the rate of 10% per annum is to be assessed only on the compensatory damage award. See Krieser v. Hobbs, 166 F.3d 736, 747 (5th Cir. 1999).\nAFFIRMED in part; REFORMED in part. Gammex shall bear the costs of this appeal.\nIn early 1989, DMSI and DataSpan, Inc. entered into an agreement whereby DMSI became an independent sales representative for DataSpan. Radiation Measurements, Inc. is Gammex's predecessor in interest. DataSpan was acquired by Gammex/Radiation Measurements in 1989. We refer to each of these companies as "Gammex."\nThe Courier II is a stand-alone computer that runs teleradiology equipment.\nMs. Dunbar later determined that in fact, the camera's manufacturer had earlier ceased production of the requested camera.\nThe letter Ms. Dunbar's attorney sent to Gammex's attorney listed as part of Ms. Dunbar's settlement proposal that " [a]ll continuing or past relationships will be severed (except for the terms of the settlement agreement, the non-disclosure and software license agreements)."\nJurisdiction is claimed under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. DMSI is a Texas corporation with its principal place of business in Harris County, Texas, and Gammex is a Wisconsin corporation with its principal place of business in Middleton, Wisconsin.\nThe Settlement Agreement contains a choice-of-law clause that provides that the Agreement "shall be construed and governed by the laws of the State of Texas."\nBecause Gammex's motion to reconsider raised a new argument -- that Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11 barred DMSI's claims -- the lower court interpreted the motion as a supplemental motion for summary judgment that was ripe for decision given DMSI had responded.\nGammex concedes that DMSI is entitled to recover $150,000 in compensatory damages on its breach of contract claim, and to receive $35,200 in attorney fees. It also concedes that DMSI is entitled to recover pre-judgment interest at the rate of 6% per annum on the compensatory damages award.\nThe quoted language appears in all capital letters, in a bold-face type, at the end of the paragraph that lists Gammex's warranties with regard to the equipment.\nThe court cited its opinion in Prudential Insurance Co. v. Jefferson Associates, Ltd., 896 S.W.2d 156, 162 (Tex. 1995), as describing some of the circumstances under which such clauses would not be binding. Included in those circumstances are where the contract was procured by fraud and where a seller's conduct obstructs a buyer's ability to inspect the condition of what is being sold. See id. The court also noted that " [w]here the 'as is' clause is an important part of the basis of the bargain, not an incidental or 'boiler-plate' provision, and is entered into by parties of relatively equal bargaining position, a buyer's affirmation and agreement that he is not relying on representations of the seller should be given effect." Id.\nThe argument that merger or disclaimer clauses should be binding whenever parties to the agreement were represented by independent legal counsel was expressly rejected by the Schlumberger court. See 959 S.W.2d at 178.\nDMSI also sought additional language relating to a six-month warranty on the equipment. This was rejected. The description of the equipment to be transferred in the final agreement differs from the description in the documents exchanged by Ms. Lescrenier and Ms. Dunbar in including a reference to "loaner" equipment. This addition does not contradict Ms. Lescrenier's representations, however, as loaner equipment, although not new, could still come from the last fifty manufactured by Gammex and be problem-free.\nWe note that the parties negotiated separate release clauses covering any and all claims "made in or based on or related to the claims made in the Litigation." The "Litigation" was defined as the action Gammex initiated in 1994. Thus, we do not read the release clauses as covering claims arising from the Settlement Agreement. Indeed, in a section of the contract separate from the "Releases" section, the parties included provisions relating specifically to the Settlement Agreement. Those provisions were the merger clause, the clause prohibiting recovery of punitive and special damages, and the choice-of-law clause.\nUnder Rule 11, "no agreement between attorneys or parties touching any suit pending will be enforced unless it be in writing, signed and filed with the papers as part of the record, or unless it be made in open court and entered of record." Tex. R. Civ. P. 11 (West 2000).\nGammex also contends that we should apply language from Boggan v. Data Systems Network Corp., 969 F.2d 149 (5th Cir. 1992), to hold that Ms. Lescrenier's statements cannot constitute actionable misrepresentations. See id. at 153 ("It is well settled that the negotiations and discussions leading up to the writing cannot displace the terms of the written agreement."). We decline to do so. Our decision in Boggan was in part based on the finding that the alleged misrepresentations were expressions of intent, rather than statements of fact, see id., and that statements such as "I think we have a deal" could not, under the circumstances, be considered actionable misrepresentations. In the case before us, the district court found that Ms. Lescrenier's statements were misrepresentations of fact, or promises made with no intention of performing. Each of these is an actionable misrepresentation under Texas law. See Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 46-48.\nGammex also asks that we reform the interest award to reduce the rate to 6%, as this was the rate DMSI requested. It does not contend that an award at the higher rate was erroneous, and thus we deny its request. |
As the summer season has ended and fall is in swing, brides feel the pressure to complete the plans for late autumn and winter weddings. Countries, customs, and traditions are different, but many things are alike. Before you can begin selection of flowers, paper products, the venue, and in some cases, the menu; you must decide on your colors and what will be in for the 2018-2019 autumn and winter season.\nThere are several color “families” that are being favored for the upcoming seasons. Remember for a wedding, a color does not always have to be the perfect match. Sometimes using two similar colors with a slightly different hue works beautifully.\nPurple- The beautiful thing about purple is carries so many hues that you literally go from pastel lavender to the deepest black/purple. Purple looks stunning with a full bloom bouquet of white or if you’d like a very rich toned wedding, pair it with a bouquet that has leafy greens and burgundy florals and deep purple berries. Magnolias, fully bloomed roses and orchids also look perfect against purple.\nYou can brighten or deepen the colors with accessories. A lace shawl will bring a bit of color. Also, select shoes that are lighter. Gray, bone, cream, or even clear will lighten the look if you are going for early autumn. For modern colored wedding palettes, you do not want to accessorize with silver. Stay with lace, crystals, gold, cream, or ivory.\nWe have seen a recent trend toward dresses that are not blazing pure white in color. Especially for fall and winter weddings with deep hued palettes, a stark white dress can sometimes look out of place. We love the trend toward softer, more subtle beautiful fabrics. Candlelight as a dress color is stunning for fall. Soft creme in a lace or flowy sheer fabric is gorgeous for winter and fall. If you’re on a budget and looking for a beautiful dress for less, we love these affordable casual wedding dresses made by Azazie. We especially love Addy and Ember.\nGowns can be tea length or longer, etc.\nAlso keep in mind that when it comes to fabric, a different material can make the same color look different. So be sure to order swatches or view the fabric in person! |
My passion for instrumental compositions started back during my piano lessons. I played the classics for recital pieces but every once in a while I was able to talk my piano instructor into letting me perform a more contemporary piece such as the "Theme from Exodus" or "Malaguenia". These compositions meant more to me than the classics. They are just as timeless as far as I am concerned. With my rock 'n roll influences and my study of classical music, it was only natural that I would eventually want to compose material with memorable melodies and upbeat rhythms.\nA contemporary musical composer who has influenced my writing is Mike Post. He has composed excellent, memorable TV themes such as the themes for "Hill Street Blues", "L. A. Law", " The Rockford Files", "Law & Order", "Silk Stalkings", "NYPD Blue" and so many more. One of his most recent compositions is the theme for the brand new TV show starring Kim Delaney called "Philly" on ABC. He is, without a doubt, one of the most popular modern day composers of our time.\nE-mail me for a FREE COPY of this CD!\nThis one has been called "haunting", "powerful" but mostly "inspirational". Like most of my compositions, I came up with a rhythm before I wrote the melody. I'm a rock 'n roll person at heart and strong drums and bass drive a lot of my songs. I wrote this for my wife so she would quit telling me how great Yanni is. It worked. I haven't heard her mention his name once since I named this composition after her and gave it to her on her birthday in 1992.\nImagine a party near the Mexican Border. There are different movements in this piece to reflect the different rhythms and feelings the music may have in the course of a night. I used typically Hispanic instrumentation but with heavier drums and bass than you might find in some Hispanic music. I created trumpets, a mandolin, a violin, and even a nylon-string guitar. I wrote this composition in 2000 specifically for this project.\nThis composition is nearly 30 years old. It's had many different titles and a variety of productions over the years but the basic tune has never changed. I wrote the melody in a dream in 1972. I woke up around 4:00am with it still in my head, went to the old upright piano in my living room and started playing it. I recorded a rough version of it the next day and I still have that original tape.\nThe temptation to overproduce this one was great. I had to resist putting all kinds of extra countermelodies in it. "A lullaby is simple and repetitive" I kept saying to myself as I recorded the tracks. I did give myself some freedom at the end to have a little fun. The drums really carry this composition.\nOriginally titled "Mikey's Shuffle", this song was a "couch" melody. I used to keep a small electronic keyboard in the living room so that if I got an idea, I could just lean over and start creating. I was watching a "Law & Order" episode that I had taped the previous evening when the idea for this composition came to me. You just never know when or where you will get your next song. The title change didn't come about until last year. I decided there were enough songs with peoples' names in them on this CD.\n"It's About Time!" is a 19 year old composition that I wrote on the road. It's been labeled "uplifting", "fun" and very danceable. (I wouldn't know about the dancing part because I have two very big 'left' feet.) The prelude was an addition to the song last year. The chord pattern came to me in a music store when I was messing around in their keyboard section. The end of the piece (which is over 10 minutes long) was also an addition that I wrote in 2000. The chord pattern used in "Prelude" is also the same chord pattern used in the brass finale at the end of the song.\nThe title came to me when I was playing the song. I literally wrote this piece with my eyes closed many years ago but never came up with a title I liked until I rediscovered it in 1999. I'm especially proud of the strings in the final passage which is a recent addition to the composition. Originally, this was to be a 4/4 ballad but when I decided to look at it for this CD, I wanted it to have a rhythm completely different from any other on this CD. |
Hayv Kahraman works are thought provoking and interesting to my partner and me as we enjoy our bi-monthly gallery walks. It’s a quick walk west up 20th St. in the Flatiron district to the Chelsea Galleries, and we participate as often as we can. We often glance through many gallery windows and only step in if something grabs our attention. There is much revisiting of minimalist work recently and this show called out to us as clever and unique with a lot to say, even if in a subtle way. I am just sharing two pieces, one is very puzzle-like, forcing the viewer to remain within the confines of the rooms, and the transparent figures are most elegant and delicately handled in their rendering. We experience the tension on viewing the paneled pieces sanded to perfection, the connecting rooms and the pained figure struggling to break free, clearly tormented. Still the woman is stuck within those panels (rooms) while evoking a feeling of transcendence. The second piece demonstrates a life that the artist witnesses and many women experience as an every day occurrence. One feels a bit voyeuristic as one peeps through the wooden carvings which seem to represent religious doors of a certain iconography or perhaps just Arabic architecture familiar to all.\nThese works are inspiring, risky and clearly controversial in Iran, but certainly they go a long way at reminding us what we often don’t see here in the states. I don’t want to explain more as I’m not an art critic, just an artist inspired by Hayv Kahraman’s bold works. They are beautiful, important and informing. |

Nations Press health The Dangers In Your Kitchen:THE REAL REASON WHY EATING RICE COULD KILL YOU!!\nThe Dangers In Your Kitchen:THE REAL REASON WHY EATING RICE COULD KILL YOU!!\nWe always want to save money and one of the best way is to eat leftover food by re heating it first. But there is a danger in some food when you reheat.\nThere are hidden dangers in your kitchen and rice, a staple of many of our meals could be one of the biggest culprits.\nAnd it’s not just your own kitchen you need to be wary of - people can also be at risk of food poisoning in their favourite pubs and restaurants or even finishing up last night's chinese takeaway.\nA bad bout of food poisoning can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps and put you out of action often for 24 hours. NHS Choices said other symptoms can include a a lack of energy, loss of appetite, a high temperature, chills and aching muscles. In some extreme cases, the symptoms can also lead to dehydration and even death.\nA 2014 report by the The Food Standards Agency showed 500,000 people got food poisoning - attributable to 13 different types of pathogens, or bacteria including E. coli, campylobacter and salmonella.\nAlthough some people believe the biggest food poisoning risks come from meat, people can get food poisoning from eating reheated rice.\nHowever, experts suggest it is not the reheating that’s the cause of food poisoning - it is the way it is stored before it goes back in the pan.\nThe FSA said: “Uncooked rice can contain spores of bacteria that can cause food poisoning “When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive. Then, if the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores will multiply and may produce poisons that cause vomiting or diarrhoea.\n“Reheating the rice won't get rid of these poisons.\n“So, the longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that poisons produced could stop the rice being safe to eat. |
