The Science Behind the Residential Water Supply

Very few houses in the U.S. get their water supply from storage tanks or wells. Most rely on the municipal water supply, which is pressurized (unlike other sources that mainly rely on pumps or gravity for pressure).

Science Behind the Residential Water Supply

(Pixabay / LoggaWiggler)

The municipal water supply distributes water to different homes in the jurisdiction. Each house gets its supply through a water main that is usually located at the edge of the property next to the street. There is a main water valve in the area where the home supply is fed by the municipal line. The purpose of the main water shut off valve is to turn off water to the home when repairs are being done in the water pipes and devices. Homeowners are advised to be familiar with the location of the main shut off valve in order for them to cut the water supply in case of a broken or burst pipe at home. This helps avoid flooding and resulting water damage.

The municipal utility company bills each home based on the amount of water consumed as measured by the water meter. Beyond the water meter is the main water line that extends toward the house. The typical size of the main line is ¾ inches or bigger. The main water line is usually buried under the ground to prevent freezing, especially in areas where temperatures dip significantly in winter.

The main water line is fitted with a back-flow preventer on the exterior of the house. The purpose of this device is to prevent contaminated water from entering the supply line when the pressure is low. There is another device attached to the line known as a pressure reducer. This will allow the homeowner to reduce water pressure going into the house to prevent damage to the fixtures.

The water line is split once it enters the home. One line goes straight to the water heater to ensure adequate pressure. The other supplies cold water to the rest of the house.

As a Los Angeles, California motor vehicle accidents attorney knows, traffic accidents occur more frequently in the state than in any other state in the U.S. because of the high traffic volume on the state’s highway system. The higher volume of vehicles on the roadways in urban areas, including Los Angeles, San Diego, the Inland Empire, Ventura County, Orange County, the San Joaquin Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area, results in especially high crash and injury rates in those locations. More than one-third of the land that is located in the L.A. Basin, including the San Fernando Valley, is covered by roadways and freeways. If you are involved in an accident, getting the help of an accidents lawyer may make a huge difference in the outcome of your claim.

Why Are Vehicular Collisions So Frequent in The Golden State?

According to a recent report from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, or NHTSA, 35,092 people were killed and 2,440,000 were injured in motor vehicle accidents during 2015. While the fatality and injury rates had been steadily declining, the year’s fatality and injury rates represented a substantial increase over the number of people who were killed and injured in 2014. During the year, 7.2 percent more people were killed than in 2014, representing the biggest single-year increase that had happened in 50 years. The preliminary numbers from 2016 show that the upward trend is continuing.

The number of people who are injured or killed each year in motor vehicle crashes is incredibly high. Because of the high numbers of cars on the road in urban areas and the lack of mass transit systems, a majority of these accidents happen in and near to major metropolitan areas such as the City of Angels, the O.C., the South Bay and the San Gabriel Valley. The Inland Empire and Orange County show especially high accident injury and fatality rates.

L.A. auto accident attorneys who have experience representing injured victims throughout the state understand how the traffic volume affects driving behaviors, leading to common types of accident scenarios such as tailgating on the freeway. This often results in rear-end collisions. Others include unsafe lane changes, which cause multi-vehicle collisions, failing to stop at red lights, which cause t-bone accidents, and many other examples.

Why Is It Important to Seek Prompt Medical Treatment and Legal Consultation Following a Traffic Mishap?

It is very important for people who have been involved in automobile crashes to take specific steps immediately afterward. Doing so helps to make certain that your insurance carrier will have all of the information that it needs so that your injury claim is well-supported in case you have to file a personal injury lawsuit for compensation. Your first priority after being involved in an accident is to get medical care. Even if you do not think that you are injured at first, it is important to get a medical evaluation. There are many common car accident injuries that may not show symptoms for hours or days after the accident happened. Getting a thorough medical examination following an accident can reveal these hidden injuries so that you can enjoy a better prognosis. This can also show a causal relationship between your accident and your resulting injuries.

After getting medical attention, your next step following an accident that was caused by another driver should be to schedule a consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney. This can help to keep the value of your claims from being reduced. If your treatment is delayed, or you fail to get advice from an attorney soon after your collision, your case and your health may be seriously jeopardized. When people do not seek prompt medical attention after an accident, insurance companies will commonly try to deny that their injuries happened as a result of the collisions. Similarly, people who do not get legal help early on may find that witnesses are hard to track down and evidence may be lost, making their claims weaker and more difficult to prove.

Common Car Accident Injuries:

While there are many different injuries that can happen in car accidents, there are some injuries that commonly occur. Injuries in accidents happen because of the physical forces that are released in collisions. The most common injuries that result in automotive accidents include the following:

  • Back injuries, including strains, sprains, herniated discs, bulging discs, lumbar injuries, thoracic injuries, cervical injuries and spinal cord injuries
  • Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries
  • Neck injuries, including whiplash, cervical disc nerve impingements, sprains and cervical fractures
  • Body injuries, including fractures to the ribs, shoulders, feet, legs and arms
  • Internal injuries, including abdominal injuries, internal bleeding, injuries to organs and collapsed or punctured lungs

Some of the injuries that can happen in car accidents may not be immediately noticeable. Because of the adrenaline that is released when people are involved in collisions, they may not realize that they have been injured at first. Some injuries, such as whiplash, may not show symptoms for hours or even days after an accident. Whiplash often happens in rear-end collisions when a car occupant’s head and neck are thrown violently forward and then rebound backward as the physical force of the accident dissipates. The backward movement may cause the person’s neck to be overextended, leading to tears, strains, pulls and damage to the bones and tissues of the neck and shoulder. Whiplash may be minor or debilitating. More serious cases of whiplash may leave people suffering from chronic pain and other problems for many months after the accidents.

Internal bleeding is another serious injury that may not be immediately noticed. When a person is involved in a motor vehicle collision, he or she may endure blunt-force trauma from being hit by objects. Internal bleeding may occur because of blood vessels rupturing as a result of the force of the blow. People may not be initially aware that they have suffered an injury that has resulted in internal bleeding when there are initially no outward signs of the injury. Internal bleeding can leave people feeling fatigued, dizzy or lightheaded. It can happen in the abdomen, brain or other areas of the body. Without prompt medical care, internal bleeding can cause people to die from their injuries. It is very important for people to get immediate medical attention if they are dizzy, feel faint, experience abdominal pain or severe headaches following an accident as this may mean that they are bleeding internally. If you or your loved one has been injured in an accident, call 866.252.0735.

If your injury has prevented you from being able to return to your normal activities, it is very important for you to document everything having to do with your injury and your activities. Keeping accurate records of your appointments, follow-up care and how your injuries are affecting you from day-to-day can help to strengthen your claim. You can ask your doctor for copies of all of your medical reports so that you can have them available if you needed them. Your insurance company will likewise need this information in order to process your claim. If you are injured and want to seek compensation by filing a claim, contact a personal injury lawyer who is experienced with settling motor vehicle accident claims as soon as possible.

What Damages Is A Victim of a Car Crash in CA Able to Recover?

The damages that may be available following an accident will depend on several things, including the extent of a person’s injuries, the facts of what happened, whether the injured person shared a percentage of fault, the person’s age and earning capacity and other situational factors. Experienced lawyers may assess a case in order to determine a range of values of damages. Under the law, the potential damages that may be recoverable include the following:

  • Past and future medical expenses, including surgery, ambulance transportation expenses, physical therapy, rehabilitation and chiropractic care
  • Related expenses for prosthetic devices, braces, walkers and crutches
  • Past and future lost wages
  • The repair costs or fair market replacement value of property losses
  • Current and future physical pain and mental suffering
  • Losses for the reduction of the enjoyment of life

Common Example of Recent Client We Helped Obtain Personal Injury Compensation After a Car Wreck:

Our client was 25 years old, active in various intramural sports and a manager at his place of employment.  He was stopped at a red light in a major intersection in Southern California when the driver behind him (distracted by her cell phone and not noticing the traffic had stopped in front of her) rear ended our client at a significant rate of speed.  We assisted our client in getting quality medical treatment (including and MRI, which revealed a herniated disc in his back).  We found a neurosurgeon to perform a repair of the disc and he followed up with physical therapy and was eventually able to return to work and playing sports.  He received a significant 6 figure settlement for his lost wages, medical expenses, and emotional distress related to the accident. Note: “this testimonial or endorsement does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter.”

Insurance company tactics

When people are injured in motor vehicle collisions that were caused by another driver’s actions, it is common for insurance company representatives and adjusters to contact the injured victims as soon as the companies learn about the collision. They may ask for victims to make recorded statements and to sign release forms. The reason that insurance companies do this is to minimize their losses. The releases are often blanket authorizations that allow insurance companies to review people’s entire medical histories. They want to be able to do this so that they can blame a person’s injuries on prior incidents rather than on the accident itself. This may make it much more difficult to prove the value of the claim.

Companies also want recorded statements from victims soon after their accidents so that they can use their statements against them later in any resulting injury claims. For these reasons, it is very important for people to avoid talking about the accident and to refuse to sign anything until they have had a chance to speak with experienced personal injury attorneys. When they are contacted, they should simply inform the adjusters that they need to talk to their lawyers.

Close-Up on East Harlem

Portions of this article have been updated.

“East Harlem will always be and should always be the spiritual cradle of the Puerto Rican community,” Fernando Ferrer said in 1999. But the neighborhood has continued its history of immigrant flux: A community board plan that same year found that “Puerto Ricans are following the traditional migratory pattern of leaving East Harlem.Today, the presence of newcomers, mostly Mexican, Central American, and Dominican, as well as the single white post-collegiate set (“Discover the New East Harlem,” blares a Voice classified headline), is unmistakable. But a whiff of Boricua artistic renaissance also is in the air. Local artists are now calling the area between 107th and 104th streets around Lexington—where galleries old and new, open mics, and classes in the island’s music and dance are thriving—El Barrio’s “cultural corridor.”

Boundaries: Roughly 142nd Street to the north and 96th Street to the south, between the East River and Fifth Avenue

Mass Transit: From Union Square, 25 minutes to 125th Street on the 4 or 5 train or between 30 and 45 minutes to 96th, 103rd, 110th, or 116th street on the 6. There’s a Metro-North stop at 125th and Park Avenue.

Average Price to Rent:Studio, $900 and up ($775 to 900); one-bedroom, $1,000 and up ($875 to $1200); two-bedroom, $1,300 and up ($1000 to $1600); three-bedroom, $1,500 and up ($1250 to $2000)

Average Price to Buy: Brownstone, $1 million (up to $500,000)

Museums, Galleries, Studios: El Museo del Barrio (1230 Fifth Avenue); El Taller Boricua, Julia de Burgos Latino Cultural Center (the Taller, a Nuyorican arts organization founded in 1970, provides gallery space, studios, and instruction to local youth. It shares the Burgos center with Los Pleneros de la 21 and the Heritage School; 1680 Lexington); Galería De La Vega (the prolific muralista and ubiquitous sidewalk-chalking philosopher shows and sells his work, 1651 Lexington); Mixta Gallery (home to a revolving exhibit of local artists’ work and poetry readings, run by painter Tanya Torres, 1706 Lexington).

Cultural Institutions: Islamic Cultural Center (1711 Third Avenue); the Union Settlement Association (237 East 104th), a 107-year-old education and human services organization, holds an annual ethnic festival on 104th between Second and Third avenues; La Marqueta, at the corner of 116th and Park, a bazaar under the Metro-North track dating back to 1927.

Record Stores: Check out Casa Latina (151 116th) on El Barrio’s bustling main drag. Just say, “Willie Colón,” or “Ray Barreto,” and Faustino will arrange dozens of CDs on the counter like a banquet spread.

Notable Residents: Pay your respects on the recently christened Tito Puente Way. El Rey del Timbal grew up in the only tenement left on the block, at 110th between Madison and Park. Also born in the neighborhood were classic salseros Eddie and Charlie Palmieri; contemporary salsero Marc Anthony; novelist Oscar Hijuelos; Marta Morena Vega, author and founder of the Caribbean Cultural Center; and actors Erik Estrada and Al Pacino.

Best Restaurants: El Barrio is dotted with excellent lunch counters; I’m partial to the chicharron de pollo at La Isla (1883 Third Avenue). A block away (on 103rd between Third and Lex) is La Alegria bakery, where you’ll find the perfect after-meal Bustelo and pastries. If you need some fiber, the Mexican street-food market along 116th has just the thing: mango on a stick. For a dollar, they come skinned and impaled—wedges handily cut into the flesh like artichoke leaves—and if you want, garnished with hot sauce, lemon juice, and salt. When you’re hungry again, head to the Tacomix stand (234 116th)—alucinante.

Local Politicians: Councilman Philip Reed, Assemblyman Adam Clayton Powell IV, Congressman Charles Rangel, State Senator José M. Serrano, all Democrats

Crime Stats: According to the 23rd Precinct, and the 25th, which covers Randalls and Wards islands in addition to East Harlem, as of September 4, 2005 there were 10 murders, 43 rapes, 378 robberies, 338 felony assaults, and 176 burglaries. (According to the 23rd Precinct, and the 25th, which covers Randalls and Wards islands in addition to East Harlem, as of June 2 there were six homicides (the same as last year); 14 rapes (compared to 21 last year), 250 robberies (five more than last year); 203 felony assaults (down from 251 last year); and 105 burglaries (compared to 141 last year)).

Japanese filmmaker Satoshi Kon is mostly known for his work in animation but is known to have influenced live-action filmmakers such as Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan).
Over the course of his career he's explored the idea of a singular person living struggling to balance two lives. His final film explores this as well even though it's only a minute in length.

Ohayo and Analysis

In my opinion, Kon's final film is a beautifully crafted masterpiece. Kon establishes story and character in the matter of seconds without the use of dialogue.
Images of gifts, birthday cards, and empty glasses around the protagonist's apartment give the audience a quick look into the day before. A quick shot of her eyes starting to close as the alarm goes off lets us know that she didn't get any sleep, either.
The rest of the film is where Kon shows an internal struggle of opposites that exist within one person in -- probably -- the most relatable way possible. Separating his protagonist into two almost adds a magical quality to the world we live in. It suggests that our "dream-self" exists outside of our "living-self" and there's a small moment every morning where both identities appear at the same time.
It's definitely a film I can constantly rewatch (its length makes it a lot easier to as well). Feel free to let me know if you caught on to anything I didn't or if you just want to talk about how it resonated with you, that's cool too.
I saw this and immediately thought of every frame a painting
@shannonl5 Is it obvious how much I'm inspired by that guy? hahaha
@paulisaverage I can't say I blame you, he knows what's up

Take a taste bud tantalizing tour of New Jersey’s vineyards & brewpubs.

Whether your drink of choice is a full-bodied red wine, a crisp and refreshing white wine, a roasted malt dark lager or a perfectly balanced pale ale, you can linger over your favorite libations in New Jersey’s vast array of wineries, vineyards, breweries and brewpubs. So gather your friends for a trendy grains and grapes tour of the Garden State!

No finer time (or place) for wine.

New Jersey’s more than 50 wineries and vineyards produce over 1.5 million gallons of wine annually. So—although it’s the fourth smallest state in the nation—the Garden State has distinguished itself as the country’s seventh largest wine producer.

If you’re planning a multi-day connoisseur’s getaway, you can explore any—or all—of the state’s five distinctive wine trails. The Vintage North Jersey Grand Wine Trail spans the entire upper region of the state. Covering the southwestern corner of New Jersey is the Two Bridges Wine Trail. The Pinelands Reserve Wine Trail meanders its way up the middle of the lower half of the state. Clustered in the southeastern tip of New Jersey is the Cape May Wine Trail. And, last but not least, creating a swath across the center of the state is the Jersey Shore Wine Trail.

Only have one day to spend in the Garden State? Not to worry. You can pick and choose individual wineries and vineyards to visit. History buffs will appreciate the fascinating legacy behind Renault Winery, one of the oldest continuously operating wineries in the United States. Aficionados can choose from several New Jersey wineries that earned top awards at the prestigious Finger Lakes International Wine Competition in 2015. These winners included Alba Vineyard (Double Gold for its Chambourcin and Gold for its Gewurztraminer), Valenzano Winery (Double Gold for its Shamong White), Bellview Winery (Gold for its Petit Verdot), DiMatteo Vineyards (Gold for its Crantasia), Four Sisters Winery (Gold for its Cayuga 2013), Natali Vineyards (Gold for its Banana and Nebbiolo), Sharrott Winery (Gold for its Dry Riesling) and Unionville Vineyards (Gold for its Cool Foxy Lady).

If you’ve always fantasized about becoming a winemaker yourself, many New Jersey businesses can make your dream come true. The Wine Room of Cherry Hill in South Jersey invites you to produce a half or full barrel (yielding 20 cases) of your own wine, which you’ll also bottle, cork and package with a custom label. The award-winning winemakers at Grape Expectations in Central Jersey will guide you through the process of producing your own wine using grapes from California, Italy or South America.

Hop on over for some craft beer!

New Jersey boasts more than 65 breweries and brewpubs, with many more openings just on the horizon. So raise your frothy mugs in a toast, craft beer lovers, as we take you on a quick tour of the state’s stoutstanding offerings.

Cape May Brewing Company is making a name for itself, recently winning five awards from The World Beer Championships in addition to being named New Jersey’s 2015 Brewery of the Year at the New York International Beer Competition. Additional breweries and brewpubs to visit in the shore region include Tuckahoe Brewing Company, Artisan’s Brewery & Italian Grill and Tun Tavern Brewery & Restaurant.

Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant in Maple Shade, New Jersey has also been racking up its fair share of industry accolades, including three medals in the 2014 Great American Beer Festival and another six awards in the 2014 World Beer Cup. While you’re in South Jersey, you can also stop in Flying Fish Brewing Company. The newly opened Third State Brewing is another craft beer producer to keep on your radar.

Thirsty in Central Jersey? Stop in River Horse Brewing Company, identified by thrillist.com as the top craft beer maker in the state. If you’re hungry as well, the area’s brewpubs include Triumph Brewing Company, JJ. Bitting Brewing Company and Harvest Moon Brewery & Café. You can also take a seat in The Ship Inn Restaurant & Brewery, the first New Jersey establishment to brew beer for onsite consumption post-Prohibition.

If you’re looking to organize a pub-crawl with your friends in Northern New Jersey, there is a wide array of brewpubs for your tasting pleasure, including Gaslight Brewery & Restaurant, Krogh’s Restaurant & Brew Pub, Long Valley Pub & Brewery and Trap Rock Restaurant & Brewery.

But before you blaze a wine trail, tour a vineyard or savor a draft at a brewpub, make sure you get the latest information—including operating hours—at visitnj.org, where you can also download a free NJ travel guide and sign up for e-news from New Jersey Travel and Tourism.

The resort was beautiful! The condo was a perfect fit for our family of 5.

  • 5 of 5

The property was gorgeous and made us feel like we were in the Caribbean. The pool was pristine and all the staff was friendly and accommodating. The owner of the condo, Jeff, was very easy to reach. The condo was clean and easy to access on the 4th floor.

Great view!

  • 5 of 5

The condo was great! It was very clean and very cute! It was very spacious and we had plenty of room. It doesn't say on the summary of the place but they do have beach chairs at the condo.

We o it had two issues with the condo. The first one was that there wasn't much toilet paper provided and we had to go buy a toilet roll. The amount of toilet paper would have been plenty had we only been staying for two to three days but for a 5-6 day stay.

The second thing and probably the worst of the two is the wifi was terrible! We had theee separate cellular carriers and none of us could make a phone call in the condo. The wifi would sometimes work and sometimes not. I think that is just is an outdated router but it is terrible.

Overall, the condo was great and had a great view of the pool and beach.

So impressed!

  • 5 of 5

Me and a few of my girlfriends chose this condo for our spring break and we had so much fun! It was so convenient staying on the fourth floor and we never had to wait for an elevator (I've stayed on the 16th floor before... that's another story lol). The cleaning ladies had just left before we got there because a family had left the day we arrived and they made the room look brand new! The condo comes equipped with everything you need like plates, silverware, dishwasher, washer/dryer, etc! Jeff is so easy to work with and is very quick to respond to you. We loved the view from our room and we hope to be back! I would most definitely recommend!

Nice condo and a fabulous pool area

  • 5 of 5

The condo was ready as promised and was clean and owner was very easy to work with. The only downside was the Wi-fi. When it worked speeds were reasonable for free Wi-fi but most of the time you could connect to the access point but could not surf the web.

We would stay there again.

A Day in the Life of a Copywriter

Each day is different in the life of a copywriter. For our copywriting team at PRISM, we work on a variety of assignments including blog posts, articles, and scripts. Meet our team of four writers--Kat, Erin, Stacy, and me, Amanda.

What opportunities has being a copywriter for PRISM given you?

Kat: With almost any career, it is so important to know how to communicate effectively. Being a copywriter is so much more than just writing and editing, it’s learning how to convey a message and to educate readers. Those skills are so versatile and invaluable.

Stacy: It’s given me the opportunity to improve my written communication skills that employers are always looking for in candidates. It has also given me the opportunity to build my leadership within a group of hard-working students.

What is it like being a copywriter for PRISM as well as a full-time student?

Kat: Sometimes it can be a challenge, but it really just comes down to managing your time appropriately. I have learned so many skills and different strategies in PRISM that I can apply to my classes and vice versa.

Stacy: It requires some long nights. However, copywriting for PRISM is worth it because I’m doing something that I’m passionate about. It has also given me great life skills from learning how to manage my time as a full-time student.

What has been one of the most rewarding experiences you’ve had as a copywriter?

Kat: One of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a copywriter has been being able to attend different Virginia Tech events that I may not normally go to or even know about. Last semester I was able to attend the APEX Systems competition where I got to see students pitch these amazing ideas and inventions to a real world company. It was a great experience because I was able to learn a lot about the subject while also covering the event.

Amanda: I think one of the most rewarding experiences I have had is seeing my work published. For Pamplin, I was able to cover a few key events over the past year that have been posted on their website. It’s great to see your profile grow as your skill set grows.

What has been the greatest challenge you have faced in your position?

Erin: I wouldn’t necessarily say that I have faced any great challenges, but the most difficult transition has been working on my time management skills. Being part of PRISM has been an amazing experience, but it is very much a professional organization, requiring a lot of time from us. Being a student and being in a position that requires large amounts of time has taught me how to manage my time better.

Our copywriters are looking forward to adding to our team during recruitment this fall! Take a look at vtprism.com/careers for more information.

Brian Clark, one of Cardiff City’s favourite sons, was remembered yesterday as a star on the football pitch and a true gentleman off it.

It was standing room only as more than 300 family, friends and teammates packed St Mary’s Parish Church, in Whitchurch, for his funeral service.

Listen to Welsh football legends Don Murray and Alan Curtus pay tribute to Clarkie

Clark’s family, including his widow Gill, were joined by former Bluebirds legends such as Don Murray, Phil Dwyer, Dave Carver and Alan Curtis.

The former City forward, one of the most popular players in the club’s history, died on August 10 at the age of 67.

Groups of fans gathered outside the church to pay their respects as a black hearse was driven down Penlline Road, followed by Clark’s family.

A floral arrangement in the club’s famous colours was placed on the casket, alongside a wreath from Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp.

Clark played alongside Redknapp at Bournemouth in the 1972/73 season following his first spell at Cardiff, before returning three years later.

Reverend Chancellor John Rowlands, rector of Whitchurch, led the service, while club historian Richard Shepherd paid tribute to his close friend.

Following the 45-minute service former teammates spoke of their pride at the outpouring of emotion by Cardiff fans.

Former City captain Don Murray said: “I think the Cardiff public have done Brian proud.

“There has been huge recognition of both his ability as a player, and also of Brian as a person. It has been absolutely fabulous.”

While “Clarky” is best remembered for scoring the winning goal in the Bluebirds’ famous 1-0 win over Real Madrid, Murray spoke of his gentle nature.

“He was an absolute gentleman, a great player and I had some super times with him,” said Murray, who skippered Cardiff on that famous night in 1971.

“Everybody admired Brian, he was one of the lads who never had a bad word to say about anyone. The younger lads especially looked up to Brian.

“There was a lot more to Brian than the Real Madrid goal, he was a super all round player and personally I am going to greatly miss him.”

David Carver, who made 210 appearances for City between 1966 and 1973, recalled the nights he spent with Clark at the Discovery Inn in Cyncoed.

“We used to have toasted cheese and talk about, hopefully, a victory – but we always made sure we were back home for Match of the Day,” he said.

“I think if Brian had have been a dustbin man I would have still been his best mate. It’s sad, but I am so pleased that we have had such a good turn out.”

Paying tribute to Cardiff fans, Carver added: “It’s remarkable how people do remember. Obviously Brian was the hero that scored that goal, but it’s as if grandfathers have passed it down to their sons. He’ll live forever, Brian. Such a modest man and a good mate.”

Wales defender Phil Dwyer, who played a record 471 league games for Cardiff, described Clark as a the ultimate professional and the perfect role model for any young footballer.

“I joined the club when I was 16 and Brian had a tremendous attitude on and off the pitch. He was quiet and he didn’t drink a lot, if at all, but on the pitch everybody loved him. He was a real pleasure to play with,” Dwyer said.

“I saw him and Gill walking down Newport Road about two months ago before he passed away.

“He immediately recognised me and shook my hand, which is why it was such a shock when I got a call about his death.”

Outside the church, Cardiff supporter Adrian Hyman, from Llanedeyrn, said: “He was very approachable. I felt humbled and honoured when he would come up and speak to me as an ordinary fan.”

Retired lorry driver Ben Casey, 56, added: “I was at the back of Grange End when he scored that famous goal against Real Madrid. I can remember it as if it was yesterday.”

Clark died at Whitchurch Hospital after a battle with Lewy Body disease, an aggressive form of dementia.

A quote from Clark on the cover of the order of service read: “In my life I have done the things I wanted to, been to some wonderful places in the world, thanks to football and I have had a very happy home life and marriage.”

Geolocation is a method for identifying where a person is located based on their IP address. Using geolocation in PrestaShop you can restrict access to your store, based on a visitor's location. You can restrict certain countries from purchasing items from your store, or even prevent visitors from certain countries from even viewing your store.

  1. Begin by logging into your PrestaShop back office.
  2. Click on the Preferences tab and then the Geolocation link under that tab.

  3. Just under the Geolocation heading you will see a notice to download a file and extract it to your /tools/geoip directory. To download the file (named GeoLiteCity.dat) click the "this file" link. Take note of where on your local computer the file is saved.

  4. Using the cPanel File Manager, upload the file to your PrestaShop tools/geoip directory. The full upload path will vary according to where you installed PrestaShop, but the last part of the path will be tools/geoip. Using our example, we installed PrestaShop into the shop subdomain so the directory to upload the file to is public_html/shop/tools/geoip.

  5. Once your file is uploaded, right click the file and choose Extract.

  6. When the extraction is finished, go back into your PrestaShop back office, select Enabled under the Geolocation by IP address heading and click Save.

  7. Under Options, choose whether restricted countries can view your catalog without being able to order or not view the catalog at all.

  8. Also under Options, choose whether other countries can place orders (All features are available), view your site catalog but not place orders, or be blocked from viewing the site altogether as well. You will likely want to choose All features are available unless you need to restrict your site from all visitors.
  9. The last section under Options is where you choose the countries that can access your PrestaShop site. If you only have a few countries you will be selling to, you can quickly deselect all the countries by clicking the box next to Name at the top of the list twice. Then select which countries should be allowed to fully access your website and place orders from your PrestaShop store.
  10. Click the Save button under options to save any changes you made in the Options area.

  11. The last section of the Geolocation preferences is the IP address whitelist. If you have an IP address that you always want to allow access to your PrestaShop site (e.g. Google bot or another search engine IP address) you can add that IP to the list and click the Save button to update the whitelist.

Anytime you want to change your Geolocation settings in PrestaShop, you can simply navigate back into this area of your PrestaShop back office and make any updates you wish to either the Options or the IP address whitelist.

I just installed prestashop and am a newbie. I have tried to activate my Geolocation tab but unfortunately it says the file can't be located. I extracted the file to public_html/tools/geoip. However, in my back office, it says the database is unavailable.

I also don't have any location limitations so will this affect my store?

Please help

How can I fix this?

You stated that you do not have any location limitations yet are trying to install a geolocation plugin so I am a bit confused. Could you clarify what you meant by that?

One must be very careful when enabling native PS geo localizationi.  When the IP can not be resolved, then they visitor will either not be able to shop but see catalog or not see catalog at all.  Because the geolitecity.dat file has 85% good hit rate, this could in effect reduce sales by 15%.

From 2004-2006, a number of conventional home builders decided to enter into the urban residential market. Sotelo was to be Dallas based Trammel Crow's entry into Phoenix / Tempe urban living. The Sotelo concept was good with great style and design, a decent location in north Tempe at College and Curry, across the street from the 1200 acre Papago Park and a short bike ride from Mill Avenue, a great clubhouse, fitness center, heated pool and spa, and underground parking. Unfortunately timing was bad with construction beginning in 2006, pretty much the start of our real estate melt down. After completing only two of the planned four buildings, Trammel Crow defaulted on its $38.8M construction loan with Fremont Investment and Loan and everything came to a screeching halt.

In 2009 iStar Financial out of Los Angeles bought the note from Fremont, ultimately acquired Sotelo itself and are now renting the condominiums out as apartments.

Interior finishes include granite slab counter tops in kitchen, bath, and bath/shower surrounds. All new appliances, wood cabinetry in kitchen and bath. Upgrades include two-tone paint, porcelain tile, top of the line carpet, and stainless appliances.

Contact the agents at We Know Urban Realty for more information or to view these condos.

Chicken Birds

Getty Images/Stock Disk

Here's an impressive way to get you out of the roast-chicken rut. Based on "veal birds"--cutlets stuffed and rolled into packets to resemble plump little squabs--the wrapper here is boneless chicken thighs.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Yields: 4
Cal/Serv: 440

1/4 c. dried Chinese black mushrooms
4 oz. ground pork
3 scallions
3 tbsp. hoisin sauce
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 c. chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. cold water
Prep Time: 0:25
Cook Time: 0:30
Total Time: 0:55

  1. In small heatproof bowl, combine mushrooms and 3/4 cup boiling water. Let stand 20 minutes, or until softened. Lift mushrooms from soaking liquid, rinse, and finely chop. Strain liquid through a coffee filter or strainer lined with paper towels; reserve.
  2. In medium bowl, stir together pork, scallions, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, ginger and reserved mushrooms.
  3. Place chicken between sheets of wax paper. With flat side of meat mallet or bottom of skillet, pound thighs 1/4 inch thick. Place thighs, smooth side down on work surface. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread pork mixture over thighs. Starting at one short end, roll each thigh up jelly-roll fashion and secure with toothpick. Dredge rolls in flour, shaking off excess.
  4. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté rolls, turning them, about 4 minutes, or until browned all over. Reduce heat to medium. Add reserved mushroom soaking liquid and cook 5 minutes, or until reduced by half. Add broth, remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook about 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender and sauce is lightly thickened.
  5. Remove toothpicks and divide chicken among 4 dinner plates. Stir cornstarch mixture, add to pan, and boil 1 minute. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

We need approximately 40 nutrients each day to meet our dietary recommendations. But due to various reasons like poor appetite, dieting or unhealthy food choices we are unable to meet these needs. Therefore a daily dosage of multivitamin is an easier way to fill in this gap. However the market offers a wide choice and it gets difficult to choose the best one suitable for your health needs.

choose the right multivitamin to keep you ticking longerHow to Choose the Correct One?

What should you look for when selecting the one for you?

  • Firstly read the product label very carefully which mentions the nutrient contents and the amounts in each servings.
  • The very basic ones like vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, B5, biotin, A, E, D2, D3, K, potassium, borate, zinc, calcium, manganese, iodine, selenium, beta-carotene, iodine, selenium, molybdenum and iron should be compulsorily present in the pill that you are selecting. Also the daily value of the supplement should be 100%.
  • If your tablet has got that extra bit for example like antioxidants and specific formulations for definite conditions like prenatal vitamins, then surely go for it. Since it’s not possible to club all of them in one pill, go for the one made according to your gender and age. Never overdo it as large doses can at times become toxic.

The Selection as per your Age and Sex

The formulations of most multivitamins cater to the dietary needs of different target groups. For example a woman before menopause needs more iron or prenatal vitamins for those who have already conceived or are planning to. Unless your diet complements enough fish and milk, it is recommended to have extra doses of calcium and vitamin D.

Women Specific

Targeting the women in the child-bearing age group, these tablets will contain more of folic acid and iron to prevent birth defects.

Only Men

Tailored for adult men till about 50, consists more of high dosage vitamins and minerals and less of iron.

The Senior Citizens

If you are over 50, you will probably need a specially formulated pill as now your body is slow in absorbing nutrients like Vitamin B12 and B6 and Calcium available from food. Therefore extra dose is seriously required. Again if you are from the fairer sex then you don’t need as much iron and with a more or less balanced diet can settle down for a multivitamin tablet made for the universal senior class.

Few Tips to Pick a Good Multivitamin

  • Gelatine or cellulose capsules are preferred over tablets as they can be broken down easily for better absorption in the body and also contain less of artificial colours. Avoid the ones with the glaze as they will not get absorbed in the gut.
  • Check for certain suffixes like citrate or chelate after the vitamin names as they are easily absorbed and gluconate, oxide and carbonate needs to be avoided.
  • Folic acid in the bio active form is normally recommended as vitamins containing this easily pass through all of the metabolic steps, particularly helpful for pregnant women.
  • Avoid multivitamins with iron as an over dosage of the same causes colon cancer and with those containing more sugar leads to inflammation and decreases the efficiency of the digestive enzymes.

If you spend some time and effort and buy as per the category you belong to, it will save you from long term ill-consequences.

Tiananmen Fictions Outside the Square: The Chinese Literary Diaspora and the Politics of Global Culture by Belinda Kong

Philadelphia. Temple University Press. 2012. ISBN 9781439907597

Tiananmen FictionsJune 4, 1989, remains a day of infamy for the Chinese government. The Chinese army opened fire that day on Chinese citizens (workers, residents, and students) just outside of Tiananmen Square for demanding “democracy” (which remained an inchoate concept for the Tiananmen protesters). The events that took place on June 4 were for a long time shrouded in mystery, with Chinese and Western media vying for representational authority, but the truth has slowly surfaced. It is a day that set in motion a collective emigration of political dissidents, intense long-distance criticisms of the CCP, and new modes of writing in the Chinese diaspora.

This is the argument that Belinda Kong makes in her excellent Tiananmen Fictions Outside the Square. Her focus is on delineating the afterlives of the Tiananmen killings in writings from the Chinese diaspora. She surveys writers based in the United States and in Europe (England and France) though she includes only English-language texts, some of them translations, in her analysis. Kong’s aim is to provide a solid introduction to a “distinctly politicized Chinese literary diaspora” brought into being by Tiananmen. Her approach is primarily text-centered. She reads plays and works of fiction in conjunction with various materials that explain their literary and historical contexts, including literary precursors, nonfiction writings by the authors she discusses, theories of diaspora, and extant discourses on the history of the Tiananmen demonstrations.

Chapter 1 offers a reading of Gao Xingjian’s play Taowang (Escape), commissioned by the American Theatre Group. Chapter 2, possibly the best chapter of the book, turns to Ha Jin, an American counterpart to Gao in the sense that he writes in the language of his adopted country in the post-Tiananmen era and his literary accomplishments have been broadly recognized in the adopted nation. Chapter 3 discusses Annie Wang, who, like Gao, receives an ambiguous appraisal from the author. The last chapter discusses a text dealing mostly directly with the history of Tiananmen, namely Ma Jian’s Beijing Coma (translated from Routu, its Chinese title).

Tiananmen takes on a number of guises in Kong’s critical language, both a site of the literary imagination and that of existential, political struggles on national and global levels. Kong illuminates the conflicting features of the literary diaspora that Tiananmen gave rise to: self-exoticization and melancholic repetition-compulsion on one side and a simultaneous critique of Chinese authoritarianism and global neoliberal capitalism on the other. However, even as Kong theorizes her terms carefully for the most part, she does sometimes resort to unexplained political clichés such as totalitarianism and authoritarianism in her comments on contemporary China. Her contextualization of literary texts, as a result, slackens in rigor at certain points. A flaw like this, no doubt, should not eclipse the general high quality of the book.

    Days after Rebecca Badger committed suicide last summer, ending her suffering from cancer and multiple sclerosis that had bound her to a wheelchair and left her legally blind, a memorial service was held for the 39-year-old mother of two.

    About 60 friends gathered in a flower-lined garden that wraps around two park benches. They read poetry beneath elderly redwood trees stretching skyward over a cottage in the distance. "People were crying and hurting," recalls Debra Arck of the memorial service. "It was...

5 to 7 October 2016

Members also discussed e-commerce and reducing barriers to services suppliers seeking to access foreign markets in a meeting of the Trade in Services Council on 7 October.

Proposal for a trade facilitation agreement for services

WTO members discussed a new proposal by India for an agreement to ease global services trade, with the aim of reducing bottlenecks that services and services suppliers face. These include high fees, opaque and cumbersome procedures and complex requirements for licensing and movement of persons. The proposal builds upon the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) in goods, which aims to streamline customs procedures as a means of cutting the time and cost involved in moving goods across borders.1 Many members expressed interest in the proposal and invited India to provide more details.

The proposed agreement would set provisions on all four modes of services supply of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). For services supplied through “mode 3” (a foreign company setting up subsidiaries or branches to provide services in another country), it suggests streamlining the setting up of businesses through a “single window”. For the cross-border movement of services suppliers (known as “mode 4”), it suggests simplifying work permit and visa procedures and ensuring that measures relating to taxation, fees and social security contributions do not unfairly disadvantage foreign service suppliers.

Other suggestions include enhancing cooperation among authorities, facilitating cross-border data flows, and allowing WTO members to comment on measures before their entry into force. The proposal also foresees special and differential treatment for developing countries.

While several members said their capitals are still reviewing the proposal, they questioned India on the implications on members' domestic regulations, and the expected benefits for developing and developed members. Some members said that the proposal touched upon sensitive issues, such as “public education and health services”.

Proposal on domestic regulation in services

Services negotiators welcomed another proposal by eight members2 to simplify the way members handle the authorization processes for the licensing and qualification requirements of services suppliers. This includes the use of a single window, accepting electronic applications, and ensuring that application fees are reasonable and do not in themselves restrict the supply of a service.

Australia said this proposal would be complemented by further proposals on how licensing procedures and qualification requirements should be developed.

The Least-Developed Countries (LDCs) Group requested that they be exempt from taking on any new obligations and several developing countries highlighted the importance of special provisions for all developing countries.

Proposals for seminars on e-commerce and mode 4

Most members welcomed a proposal by several members3 to hold a workshop in the Council for Trade in Services on the services-related aspects of e-commerce. For some, the priority would be to help developing countries to enhance their understanding of and participation in e-commerce.

WTO members have renewed their commitment not to impose customs duties on e-commerce transmissions at each Ministerial Conference. Ministers last extended the moratorium at the Nairobi Ministerial Conference in December 2015.

India suggested holding a dedicated discussion or a seminar on barriers that restrict access of members' services suppliers to foreign markets through mode 4 of the GATS, without focusing on any specific measure by any specific member. Members called on India to submit a written proposal for analysis.

1. The TFA was inserted into the WTO rulebook in November 2014 following adoption by the General Council. It will enter into force once two-thirds of WTO members have ratified it. To date, 94 members have done so.back to text

2. The proposal was submitted by Australia, Chile, Colombia, the European Union, Mexico, Norway, Republic of Korea, and the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu. back to text

3. The co-sponsors of the seminar are Australia, Colombia, Hong Kong (China), Israel, Korea, Mexico, Panama, Singapore, the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu, and the United States. back to text

People Have A Lot of Opinions About My Partly Shaved Head

I know most people have an attachment to their hair, but I’ve never felt that way myself. When I mentioned it to my hair stylist, she happily whipped out the hair buzzer.
Publish date:
March 29, 2014
hair, beauty, Sexy Short Hair, Justin Beiber, justin beiber made me do it, mohawk

For some reason, being a female with short hair -- and having all or some of that hair shaved -- is extremely polarizing. I have genuinely never given a shit about anyone else’s haircut. The only time I would speak up about someone else’s hair is if I loved it, or if a bird had recently pooped in it.

I don’t think being a short-haired lady necessarily take guts; it takes a skilled hairdresser and a vague knowledge of your face shape. It also takes some degree of confidence, but I wouldn’t consider it a badge of honor in and of itself. While I get that most people have an attachment to their hair, I’ve just never felt that way myself.

So this past fall when I cut off roughly ten inches of hair, I didn’t think it was a big deal. After years of irreversible damage from bleaching and general abuse, all the coconut oil in the world wasn’t going to save that mess. I was totally over having hair.

But because I have a tendency to go overboard on just about everything in my life, just having short hair wasn’t good enough. It needed to be even shorter and whiter and weirder in general. Then I saw Justin Bieber’s most recent mugshot, and it was all over.

When I casually mentioned my Bieber hair lust to most people, I'd get a weird look and they'd change the subject. But when I mentioned it to my hairstylist, she happily Googled the Bieb and whipped out the hair buzzer.

The result was something between Tabatha Coffey and Robyn, and I was WAY into it.

But though I love my new hair and have received mostly compliments, I’ve heard a few comments that caught me off-guard...

"Guys don’t like short hair"

Firstly, NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. This is so full of NO, I don’t even know where to begin. Yes, some dudes do in fact prefer long hair. Some dudes also have a proclivity for collecting venomous scorpions. And that’s totally fine! But those dudes are not for everyone. That’s beside the point, anyway. The day I sacrifice something I love about my appearance for a dude, please kill me. It will NEVER happen. If a dude gets hung up on a haircut, NEXT!

Men don’t care about that stuff anyway. A guy should be into you even if you were forced to bathe with makeup wipes and wash your hair with a bottle of cold, stagnant water because there was a water main break at the exact second you tried to shower after a six-mile run. They don’t notice shit! And it’s great. Needless to say, your haircut shouldn’t dictate your dating life. And believe it or not, some guys are REALLY into short-haired ladies. Trust me.

"You’ll regret it"

You know what’s funny about hair? It grows back! Pop some biotin into your regular vitamin cocktail and you’re solid. A haircut isn’t an irreversible decision. This is why I suck at sympathizing with anyone on the receiving end of a crappy haircut. Yeah, it happens. But it’s not the worst thing in the world.

Not only that, insinuating that I’ll regret my haircut is just plain mean. So what if I’m drawing inspiration from a mostly washed-up child popstar’s mugshot? There is WAR and FAMINE happening out there, people. Not only that, but out of all the highly questionable decisions I’ve made in life, this is by far not the most devastating.

If I do wake up one morning and decide I’m over it, that’s OK. I’ll manage to grow it out without hurting anyone. But for now, I personally enjoy being as aerodynamic as possible.

"It’s not feminine"

The fact that most people tie this into the first stupid comment re: dudes drives me insane. I didn’t shave my head because I was trying to stick it to the patriarchy. I’m not making a political statement. I’m not even depressed! If anything, it takes a lady with a pretty strong sense of femininity to make the chop. Haven’t you seen "Tank Girl"? A haircut, for me, is a purely aesthetic decision. I happen to think it not only looks cool, but extremely feminine to boot.

Also: you don’t need hair to be a hot lady! Flowing locks are plenty hot, but they’re not a prerequisite. I could easily list off all the women throughout history who lacked hair, but you probably know them all already. It might not be what many consider traditionally attractive, but so what? I can’t even begin telling you how few shits I give about being traditionally attractive.

What inane comments have others made about your hair? Truthfully, I WISH someone would offer me $2,000 to shave it all! Hell, maybe I will anyway.
