The Future of Biosensors is Here

Reading time ( words)

A soft sensor microsystem with a three-dimensional design—bypassing constraints and limitations of traditional two-dimensional design—and a range of applications, including continuous health monitoring and disease treatment, enables greater flexibility and performance than existing, flat sensors. In this sense, there have been a growing interest in soft electronics which are designed to intimately interface with the soft tissues of the human body such as skin.

Recently, the microsystem was developed by a joint research team that includes DGIST Professor Kyung-In Jang and Professor John A. Rogers from the Northwestern University. It contains a variety of sensors connected by a unique network of tiny wire coils, all placed in a soft silicone pad about four centimeters (1.5 inches) in diameter.

The team used the system to build and test a biomonitor that can be easily attached to the skin. It contained about 50 components connected by 250 individual microcoils and wirelessly transmitted data on movement and respiration, as well as electrical activity in the heart, muscles, eyes and brain to a smartphone application.

The key to creating this novel microsystem is stretching the elastic silicone base while tiny wire arcs, made of gold, chromium and phosphate, are laid onto it. The arcs are firmly connected to the base only at one end of each arc. When the base is allowed to contract, the arcs pop up, forming three-dimensional coils that connect the system’s sensors, circuits and radios to each other. The entire system is encased in a soft silicone material to protect its components, and is powered wirelessly rather than being charged by a battery. The developed platform enables wireless collection, analysis, and storage of bio-signal data performing as a separate computer.

While conventional flat sensors are not applicable to the human skin—which surface are curvilinear and complex, the coils are much more flexible than wires laid flat into a sensor; flexibility is critical for application on soft tissue. The coils and components are also configured in an unusual spider web pattern that ensures “uniform and extreme levels of stretchability and bendability in any direction.” It also minimizes the system’s size. The researchers also considered key electrical and mechanical issues to optimize the system’s physical layout, such as sensor placement or wire length, to minimize signal interference and noise.

In addition to bio-integrated electronics, the microsystem could also be used in other areas of emerging interest, such as soft robotics or autonomous navigation.

Ireland may not get Apple's €13bn back taxes in full, EU says

Ireland may not get Apple's €13bn back taxes in full, EU says

By Jennifer Rankin

Tech firm can could cut payments to Dublin if other member states demand a slice or it pays more to US parent company

Ireland may never see the full €13bn (£10.8bn) in unpaid taxes owed by Apple, the European commission has said, if other EU countries go after the American tech giant for a share.

The EU executive also said Apple could reduce its multibillion-euro tax bill to Ireland if it increased payments to its US parent company, as it revealed the full text of its landmark ruling against the US tech giant for the first time.

Margrethe Vestager, the EU competition commissioner, suggested Ireland may not see the full €13bn in back taxes if Apple chose to pay larger amounts to its US headquarters to fund research and development.

Speaking to the Irish Independent, she said the total paid to Ireland could be reduced because other EU member states may demand more tax from Apple if they concluded that the US tech firm had underpaid them, because it had been routing profits to Apple’s Irish headquarters in Cork.

The full text of the EU’s decision, published on Monday, sets the stage for a titanic legal battle, which pits the European commission against Apple and Dublin, with implications for hundreds of companies.

In August, the commission said a sweetheart deal devised by the Irish government had allowed Apple to pay tax of just 0.005% in 2014 and an average rate of 1% over many years.

Speaking on Monday, Vestager said the full amount may not be payable to Ireland.

Apple created two companies in Ireland, Apple Sales International and Apple Operations Europe, as it went on a journey to become the biggest profit-making firm in the world.

“The amount to be paid back to Ireland would also be reduced if the two companies were required to pay larger amounts of money to their US parent company to fund the research and development efforts,” Vestager said.

However, she also suggested other EU member states may want a slice. “Other countries, in the EU or elsewhere, can look at our investigation. If they conclude that Apple should have recorded its sales in those countries instead of Ireland, they could require Apple to pay more tax locally. That would reduce the amount to be paid back to Ireland,” she said.

Earlier in the year, the Danish politician said Ireland had given Apple a sweetheart deal worth €13bn. But the full 130-page ruling was only published on Monday, to allow lawyers to ensure confidential commercial information was kept out of the final report.

Hours ahead of publication, Dublin and Apple stepped up their war of words, vowing to fight the commission in court.

As it announced plans to lodge its appeal this week, Apple accused European regulators of a political crusade against a successful American company. In a personal attack on the Danish competition commissioner, a senior company executive said Apple was a convenient target for an official chasing headlines.

The company’s chief general counsel, Bruce Sewell, told Reuters: “Apple is not an outlier in any sense that matters to the law. Apple is a convenient target because it generates lots of headlines. It allows the commissioner to become Dane of the year for 2016,” he said, referring to the title accorded by Danish newspaper Berlingske last month.

Under Vestager, the commission has also taken on McDonald’s, Starbucks and Italy’s Fiat over tax, and launched investigations into overcharging by Gazprom, one of Russia’s most powerful companies

In a submission to Europe’s second-highest court, Apple also accused the commission of ignoring Ireland’s tax experts. “The Irish have put in an expert opinion from an incredibly well-respected Irish tax lawyer,” Sewell said. “The commission not only didn’t attack that – didn’t argue with it, as far as we know – they probably didn’t even read it. Because there is no reference [in the EU decision] whatsoever.”

###pdismissed the case as “total political crap”.

###pagreed to pay €318m to the Italian authorities to settle a case of suspected fraud, where it failed to declare its earnings between 2008 and 2013. Ireland is expected to create a €13bn escrow account to store the money, pending potential claims by other member states.

Only national tax authorities can decide whether they wish to pursue Apple for taxes on profits booked in Ireland.

While Brussels is confident it will win its case, the Irish government accused the commission of riding roughshod over Ireland’s sovereignty, by trying to rewrite the country’s corporation tax rules.

Unveiling its formal legal submissionon Monday, the finance department described how low taxes are the point of its sales pitch to foreign investors, arguing it was perfectly legal to levy far less tax on profits than imposed by competitors.

Under EU rules, governments have powers to set their own corporate tax rates, but are forbidden from giving an unfair competitive advantage to firms on their territory.

Ireland levies a tax rate of 12.5%, one of the lowest in the EU, nearly a third of the US rate of 35%. Irish ministers have stressed its low corporate tax rate is non-negotiable, viewing it as the linchpin of the economy. The low headline rate, combined with complex use of shell companies, has helped Ireland to draw in scores of tech and pharmaceutical firms.

Apple employs 6,000 people in Cork, Ireland’s second city, and has pledged to remain loyal to the city it chose as its European base more than 30 years ago.

Ireland’s finance ministry contended that the commission had misunderstood EU competition rules, which are intended to ensure a level-playing field across the union. “The state aid rules by their nature cannot remedy mismatches between tax systems on a global level,” it said, contesting the EU’s argument that Apple got benefits denied to other companies based in Ireland.

Vestager made clear the commission was standing its ground: “This decision sends a clear message: member states cannot give unfair tax benefits to selected companies. No matter if they are European or foreign, large or small, part of a group or not.”

In all, more than 150 participants – including sponsors, and business and community leaders – came together over 1-1/2 days to partake in panel discussions, site tours, networking opportunities and reminiscing about the city that helped shape them personally and professionally.

Signature events were held at The Durant as well as the Durant-Dort Factory One on Wednesday, Aug. 16, and Thursday, Aug. 17, respectively.

In addition, pledges totaling $50,000 for two Flint projects were announced by expats during the event. Dr. William Pickard, CEO, Global Automotive Alliance pledged $40,000 to the Friends of Berston Field House for the construction of a Family Literacy Classroom at the historic community center. Herb Washington, President & CEO of H.L.W. Fast Track, a food and beverage company, pledged $10,000 toward ongoing renovation of the historic Capitol Theatre.

“Flint taught me you don’t get ready, you stay ready,” said Washington, at the Homecoming.

A list of distinguished speakers and dignitaries greeted the Flint expats, including: Flint Mayor Dr. Karen Weaver; Rich Baird, Senior Advisor to the Gov. Rick Snyder; Lt. Gov. Brian Calley; Ridgway White, President, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation; Mary Kramer, Group Publisher, Crain’s Detroit Business & Crain’s Cleveland Business; Mark Reuss, GM Executive Vice-President of Global Product Development, Purchasing & Supply Chain; and Mike McDaniel, Coordinator, FAST Start Initiative.

“If you give Flint a chance, I think you’ll be impressed by how much Flint will give back,” said White, in his welcome remarks.

Thursday, day two of the Flint Homecoming, was packed with informative panel discussions to update the expats on the ongoing initiatives to move Flint forward. The panel discussions:

  • Flint Works for Me. It Can Work for You
  • Philanthropy’s Changing Role in Flint’s Revitalization
  • Education’s Role in Moving Flint Forward
  • Economic Development Strategic Initiatives
  • Entrepreneurism in Flint
  • The Young Professionals – How I Contribute to Moving Flint Forward

There was also a presentation on the status of two-dozen Flint projects.

In his closing remarks, Flint & Genesee Chamber CEO and Flint Homecoming Co-Chair Tim Herman encouraged expats to “stay engaged and stay connected.”

“Over the past day and a half, you’ve seen evidence of the revitalized Flint,” said Herman. “You’ve heard stories of resilience, collaboration, innovation, and vision as well as plain, hard work and perseverance. We have a solid foundation in place in which we’re rebuilding a sustainable, livable community.

“With your support and engagement, I know we can rise to greater heights.”

Flint Homecoming 2017 was made possible through the work and support of the following partners: Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Community Foundation of Greater Flint, Deloitte, Diplomat, Flint Cultural Cultural Center, Flint Downtown Development Authority, Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce, General Motors, Hagerman Foundation, Huntington Bank, Kettering University, Plante Moran, Ruth Mott Foundation, United Way of Genesee County, and University of Michigan-Flint.

RECAP: DTS Space x The Sounds of Summer with XYLØ

June gloom be damned, we got summer started on a Hollywood rooftop.

DTS Space x The Sounds of Summer
NeueHouse Hollywood
June 6, 2017
Los Angeles, CA

Weirdly enough, it’s already June, which means that it’s time for LA to signal the start of the summer with some counterintuitive hazy skies. We took those head-on with DTS last night at the NeueHouse penthouse in Hollywood, kicking off the latest installment of the DTS Space event series.

Paige and Chase from XYLØ were handling DJ duties, setting the mood for a scene appropriate of the Hollywood backdrop: food, drinks, music, and premium sound experiences featuring DTS technologies. The rooftop gaming lounge brought Rocket League to life with DTS Headphone:X–enabled Turtle Beach Elite Pro headsets. Inside the penthouse, the tunes kept flowing through DTS Play-Fi connected Klipsch Three, McIntosh RS100 and MartinLogan Bravado speakers. Additionally, the just-announced Yamaha YAS-207 sound bar was blowing minds as the first of its kind with DTS Virtual:X immersive sound technology.

Check out photos of the night from Ryan Hunter below, and thanks to everyone who came out.

We won’t spam you. Promise.

Review from Yelp!...
If I told you there was a lounge in South Beach with a house party vibe because you'll see all your old friends and get blackout drunk, plus an office party vibe because everyone is hooking-up with people they shouldn't, would you believe me? Well it exists but be careful what you wish for...

Chocolate Sundays --

Music - provided by rotating DJs playing open-format playlists including my favorite spinner, Jessica Who. I remember when her ex-bf/my former bandmate used to teach her how to hit cues and smooth transitions on his turntables. Now he owns a vegan hot dog cart and she's a resident DJ at LIV and is sponsored by multi-national corporations --

I think she won that race. In the back room aka the sweat lodge, because the AC never penetrates the layer of floating stagnant air, they play old skool hip-hop.

Drunken Spelling Bee - at midnight contestants drink a shot every round and have to spell what I thought were foreign words like rutabaga/proletariat/sepulchral /onomatopoeia. I won once but between the Happy Meals (Miller High-Life + shot of Jäger for $6) and downing 4 shots in 20 minutes, I didn't even touch the $50 bar tab prize. I became a modern day Robin Hood stealing from the rich and giving to the sober. Try it, at the very least you'll get a free shot out of it.

Come stay with us at Florida South Beach Rentals, right on the beach!

Employment Law - Transfer of Undertakings - TUPE - Subsidiaries

The recent lawsuit of Millam volt Print Factory (London) 1991 Ltd [2007], involved a difference relating to the Transportation of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 ("TUPE"). The employee was employed by Print Factory Ltd (PF). The retention company of PF was taken over and subsequently sold to Meter Ltd by manner of a share sale agreement. The employee was informed that the personal identity of his employer was not changing, but was later told that his employment had been 'continued' under the TUPE Regulations.

Furthermore, the employees of PF were told at the clip of sale that it was M's purpose to fully integrate the concern of PF into their own. After the takeover, the pay as you earn written documents showed that Meter was the company which now paid the employee's wages. Meter also managed the contributory pension scheme. Even so, the companies were registered as being separate, and were being tally as two separate companies with Meter controlling PF's activities.

The employee was dismissed and so complained to the Employment Tribunal.

Subsequent to that dismissal, PF bought the concern of Meter and became the respondent to the complaint. A preliminary issue was ordered to be tried as to whether the employee's employment had by operation of the TUPE Regulations transferred from PF to Meter at the clip PF was sold by its parent company to M.

The court duly concluded that there was indeed a TUPE transportation from PF to M. PF then appealed to the Employment Appeals Court ("EAT"). The evidence for the entreaty by PF were that the court had erred in law in that it had 'pierced the corporate veil' in reaching its conclusion, which was not permissible. The EAT determined that the companies were, as a substance of law, tally independently. It was therefore apparent that PF retained its ain assets and its ain employees.

The EAT decided that the deficiency of independence, which was typical of a subsidiary, did not show that the retention company owned the subsidiary's concern and that, as a substance of law, it was the corporate physical thing that ran the business. In the absence of any sham, the tribunals were entitled to look no further. The EAT held that the entreaty succeeded owed to the fact that the consequence of the tribunal's determination was to 'pierce the corporate veil', which it was not entitled to do.

The employee appealed. The entreaty was dismissed.

The legal structure, although important, could not be conclusive in deciding the issue of whether, within that legal structure, control of the concern had been transferred as a substance of fact. The EAT had misdirected itself.

An issue of 'piercing the corporate veil' lone arose when it was established that activity x was carried on by company A, but for policy grounds it was sought to demo that in world the activity was the duty of the proprietor of company A.

In this case, the court did not happen that the activity was being carried on by PF, and then 'pierced the veil' to impute the activity as a substance of law to M. It was held that, as a substance of fact, the activity was being carried on by M, and not by PF. That concentration on the issue of corporate construction led the EAT not to give proper weight to the determinations of the tribunal.

Furthermore, despite the fact that the EAT was right in saying that a subsidiary's deficiency of independency did not show that the retention company owned the business, that observation did not give weight to the fact that the court establish the agreements in this lawsuit were not typical, to the extent that the concern was that of M.

Free Legal Documents Online - How Best to Use Them

Can the free legal written documents offered on the Internet be a substitution for consulting with an attorney?

In some cases, most definitely.

To give a simple example: The law in your state may necessitate a written contract for the sale of commodity over a certain value. Or for that matter, you may desire to allow your parent a powerfulness of lawyer to sell something on your behalf whilst away on vacation. It makes not necessitate specialized legal cognition to collect a measure of sale for a motorcycle, car or other commodity or to pull up a limited powerfulness of attorney.

Similarly, a immature individual without a batch of assets may desire to rough a last volition and testament or a life will. For most immature people a criterion legal templet can be used to make their written documents and the word forms can be downloaded free from the Internet, without incurring legal costs. Of course, it volition be a different lawsuit for a billionaire with assorted assets and a complicated will where audience with a legal and/or fiscal expert is invaluable.

Many parents acknowledge the demand for a medical consent word form for a baby-sitter in lawsuit of a medical emergency. Or they may necessitate a more than comprehensive impermanent care word form when their kid will be staying with a household member or trusted friend. These sample word forms are freely available online.

Free legal written documents are particularly valuable when they are also accompanied by legal guidelines on how to finish them.

Although the law acknowledges unwritten agreements, it always do sense to acquire it in authorship to avoid statements over what exactly was agreed upon. Using sample legal written written documents to collect your ain contracts is no different to lawyers using their existent templets for standard agreements.

There is no demand in law for documents to be written in legalese. Apparent English tin equally well demo the purpose of the agreement, and it is to the advantage of everyone involved to understand all the clauses in the document. There is no demand to seek and make proviso for every eventuality either when compiling your understandings and in fact, it will be quite impossible to do so.

Of course of study there are many cases where you must confer with with an attorney. Again, you can utilize the free legal written documents and free legal information available on the Internet to make your readying beforehand and so cut down the consulting clip - and hours billed.

How To Get The Most From Your Criminal Defense Lawyer

You've establish a lawyer that you like. He or she looks incredibly intelligent and cognizes the law backwards and forwards. Now you necessitate to make up one's mind on one thing: How can I use this person's accomplishments to support me on a criminal charge?

Understanding both your function as a client and the attorney's function as your lawyer is necessary in order to show the best defence possible on a criminal charge.

Your Attorney's Job: Teaching, Negotiating, and Litigating.

People unfamiliar with lawyers might be surprised to happen that the bulk of clip lawyers pass with their clients is spent teaching. The grade of a good lawyer is the ability to explicate even complex legal statements in a manner that you understand. Anyone who confronts a criminal complaint must understand what the elements of the law-breaking are and what grounds the Prosecution have to back up those elements.

Your lawyer necessitates to be a good negotiator. It is a common pattern for Prosecutors to offer a less serious complaint or a advantageous sentencing recommendation to a Defendant in lawsuits where the grounds is weak. In certain cases, a public prosecutor may offer a lesser complaint to person with no criminal background. Negotiating is not a 1 time, victor takes all, event; rather it is a uninterrupted activity until the lawsuit resolutenesses –this intends all the manner up to trial and sometimes even in the center of trial.

Your lawyer necessitates to be a good Litigator. In the linguistic context of a Jury trial, the demand for a good litigant is obvious. He or she will necessitate similar accomplishments prior to trial, since many criminal lawsuits have got legal inquiries that demand to be answered by a Judge. For example, will a peculiar statement be allowed into evidence? The procedure of asking the Judge for an reply is called a Movement Hearing. The result of a Movement Hearing tin be critical to your case. Some Motions, e.g. A Probable Cause Motion, can find if your lawsuit acquires dismissed before it even attains trial.

The Defendant's Job

You are the 1 that have to dwell with the effects of your decisions, so your occupation is to understand what your pick are and the branchings of those choices.

In order to understand your choices, you necessitate to inquire questions. Never experience diffident about asking questions, it's your attorney's occupation to do certain you understand everything. A good Lawyer will be able to reply the bulk of your inquiries up front; probably when they explicate your options to you initially. It's easy to go over laden with information during your first or 2nd meeting, so don't be afraid to compose your inquiries down ahead of time.

Generally speaking, there are four picks in any criminal case: First, pleading guilty to something. Second, pursuing some word form of option resolution. Third, whether or not to register Motions. Fourth, whether or not to travel to trial.

Pleading guilty tin mean value respective things. You could plead guilty to the complaint as is. The lone existent issue is whether you and the public prosecutor can hold on a sentence or not. If the Prosecutor have offered a lesser crime, you could plead guilty to the amended charge. This new law-breaking may, or may not, be something you are actually guilty of – but since the effects are less terrible than the original law-breaking charged, it might be congenial to both sides. You could plead guilty using an "Alford" plea. This is where you state up presence that you make not believe you are guilty but you are going to plead guilty to take advantage of the Prosecutor's sentencing recommendation. In an Alford Plea, you must also hold that there is a significant likeliness that a Judge or Jury would happen you guilty if the lawsuit went to trial.

In less serious criminal cases, there may be options to either Pleading Guilty or Going to trial. For example, in some misdemeanors, the law lets a "Compromise of Misdemeanor" where the Defendant and the Victim hold to settle down the substance between themselves. You can often see this in One-Third Degree Larceny lawsuits such as as shoplifting. The booster holds to counterbalance the shop proprietor and the shop proprietor holds that the criminal lawsuit can be dropped. There are other illustrations of this such as as a Pre-Trial Diversion Agreement. In a PTDA, the Defendant holds to make (or not do) certain things and if he or she complies, then the lawsuit is dismissed. Unfortunately, option declarations are not available in every case.

In many criminal cases, there are legal inquiries that demand to be answered by a Judge. The most common inquiries affect whether or not the Prosecutors can utilize a piece of grounds against a Defendant. Examples can include: Statements, Diagnostic Test Results, or other Physical Items.

Either Party can inquire a Judge to govern on whether or not something will be allowed into evidence. This is generally done at a Movement Hearing. As a Defendant, your occupation is to understand what's at interest during the Movement Hearing and whether or not there are any hazards in having the hearing. The result of a Movement Hearing tin scope from having no impact on your lawsuit all the manner to requiring a judgment of dismissal of the complaints against you.

The concluding supreme authority of justness is the Jury trial. Whether or not going through trial is deserving it in your lawsuit is something you have got to trust on you lawyer for. The result of a trial is easy: you either win or you loose. If you win, then the lawsuit is over and you are done with Court. If you loose, Judges be given to give a small more than than jailhouse and a small more in mulcts over what you would have got gotten if you had simply plead guilty. Whether a Judge would make that in any peculiar lawsuit depends on how things went at trial. If you had good statements but the Jury establish you guilty anyway, a Judge can take that into business relationship when pronouncing sentence. I have got got certainly had lawsuits where we went to trial and lost, but my client ended up with a better sentence than he would have received had he pled guilty up front.

Talking with an experienced, aggressive lawyer can take an unbelievable amount of stress. It can also make a problem: The enticement to allow the "professional" manage your case. Don't fall into this trap. No substance how smart or well educated your lawyer is, he or she will not be able to acquire you the declaration you desire if they don't cognize what it is. Your lawyer will be counting on you to maintain them informed of your demands and desires as much as you will be counting on your lawyer for good advice.

To acquire the most out of your criminal defence attorney, acquire involved in your ain defense. Ask questions, larn about your complaint and acquire yourself prepared to do the concluding determination of how you desire to decide your case.

Keeping Old Law Suits From Haunting Your Future - Part 3

Being sued can be an unsettling and awful experience. However, it you are not careful, it can be a haunting one, even when you win. That is because tribunal records about the lawsuit are available to the public- and in many lawsuits are on the internet.

A hunt of tribunal records, which is an increasingly common portion of background bank checks for occupations or housing, can uncover inside information of a lawsuit that are awkward or unfairly prejudicial. Golden State law supplies some protections from being unfairly prejudiced by a civil lawsuit that was dismissed or without merit, but you often necessitate to be proactive in protecting your good name.

There are different regulations for different types of lawsuits and different regulations for who is providing the information about you. This three portion series will analyze (1) how to seal tribunal records from a typical law suit, (2) the particular regulations that use to unlawful detainers (evictions), and (3) what can and cannot be reported and by whom.

Laws Governing What the Recognition Agency Can Report

Once you have got done what you can to forestall the tribunal from disclosing awkward inside information of a civil lawsuit, you must turn your attending to those most likely to administer the information— coverage agencies. Golden State have particular regulations designed to protect people by limiting what a recognition coverage federal federal agency can report.

One such as law is subdivision 1785.11.2-1785.11.6 of the Golden State Consumer Recognition Coverage Agencies Act, also known as the "security freezing law." This law lets Golden State consumers to forestall a recognition coverage agency from releasing the recognition describe or information in it without the consumers prior show authorization. Golden State was the first state to ordain such as a law, but respective other states soon followed suit.

To put a "security freeze" on your recognition studies you must direct a written petition by certified mail to each of the recognition coverage agencies. Each recognition coverage federal agency will delegate to you a alone personal designation figure that you can utilize to temporarily raise the security freezing if you desire a possible employer to carry on a background bank check or wishing to open up a new recognition account. Otherwise, the freezing stays effectual until you bespeak that it be removed.

The security freezing must be provided for free if you are the victim of personal identity larceny and submit a valid police force study or DMV fact-finding report. In all other lawsuits the recognition coverage federal agencies complaint a fee of $10 dollars for this service.

Most information can only be reported on your recognition study for seven years, which is why it is so of import to regularly check up on your recognition report. If you detect something on your recognition study that is wrong or should not be reported, there are stairway you can take to have got the information corrected or removed.

The Carnival Recognition Coverage Act (FCRA) necessitates each of the countrywide consumer coverage companies — Equifax, Experian, and Transunion — to supply you with a free transcript of your recognition report, at your request, once every 12 months. Under the FCRA, you are also entitled to a free recognition study if a company takes harmful action against you such as as denying your application for credit, insurance, or employment and you bespeak your free study within 60 years of receiving notice of the action. In addition, you are also entitled to one free recognition study a twelvemonth if you are unemployed and program to look for a occupation within 60 days; if you're on welfare; or if your study is inaccurate because of fraud, including personal identity theft.

Everyone have the right to difference wrong or prohibited information contained in his or her recognition report. By reviewing your recognition study and contacting the recognition federal federal agency to describe any mistakes, you begin the procedure that necessitates the coverage agency to look into the moot information. Below are the stairway you should take to guarantee that your recognition study incorporates only rectify information and portrays your past in the most advantageous visible light possible.

Step One: Monitor Your Recognition Report

You should supervise your recognition study for awkward or damaging information to guarantee that an employer, landlord or loaner will have got a right position of your history. If the reappraisal of your recognition study uncovers information that is wrong or not permitted to be reported, you should direct a difference missive to all three recognition coverage federal agencies immediately.

Step Two: Send a Dispute Letter

The difference missive should be sent to all three of the major recognition coverage federal federal agency because you cannot be certain which agency an employer or landlord will search. The difference missive should include a little but descriptive statement about the moot information. Also include a transcript of your recognition study with the moot entry circled and any other encouraging documents. All correspondence with the recognition federal agencies should be sent by certified mail to continue a paper trail because days of the month and clip taken to react are important.

The intent of the difference missive is to begin the probe of the entry by the recognition agency. After receiving the difference letter, the recognition coverage federal agency have 35 years to reach the landlord or other appropriate political party about the dispute. If the landlord or other appropriate political party makes not react or supply support for the truth of the entry within a sensible time, which is usually 30 days, of receiving the petition from the recognition federal federal agency to warrant the entry on the recognition report, the recognition agency must, by law, take the entry.

The recognition coverage federal agencies must, by law, react to your difference missive within a sensible amount of time, usually 35 years (30 years plus five years for mailing). If no response is received, the point must be deleted from the recognition report.

Step Three: Add a Consumer Statement to Your Recognition Report

In improver to sending a difference letter, you have got the right to add a consumer statement to your report. The consumer statement can be up to 100 words and lets you a opportunity to explicate the entry and supply any information you believe is of import to anyone reviewing your recognition study such as as a hereafter landlord or employer.

In improver to the restriction above, recognition coverage federal agencies are prohibited from coverage constructive eviction actions unless the landlord wins the lawsuit. A landlord "wins" in an constructive constructive eviction action if the renter neglects to react to the ailment by not filing an answer; the tribunal grants the landlord's movement for summary judgment; the trial justice regulations in favour of the landlord; or if the landlord and renter settle down out of tribunal and hold as portion of the colony that the eviction action can be reported. In all other circumstances, the landlord makes not predominate and the constructive eviction action cannot be reported on a recognition report.

If prohibited information is reported on your recognition study and you are harmed by the inclusion of this information, Golden State Civil Code Section 1786.50 licenses you to litigate for "any existent amends sustained by the consumer as a consequence of the failure or, except in the lawsuit of social class actions, 10 thousand dollars ($10,000), whichever sum of money is greater." If you succeed, the tribunal may also awarding you "the cost of the action together with sensible attorney's fees."

This makes not intend that the information cannot be obtained by searching the tribunal records directly because the tribunal records are unfastened and accessible unless temporarily or permanently sealed. Part one of this article supplies a verbal description of the law relating to sealing your tribunal record to forestall this information from being discovered by person like an employer or landlord who seeks your recognition report.

As more than employers and landlords behavior elaborate background hunts on applicants, it is of import to maintain past lawsuits from haunting your future. The best starting point is knowing the regulations pertaining to the revelation and sealing of tribunal records and what is permitted by law to be reported by recognition coverage agencies. See Part 1 in this series for information on sealing the inside information of your civil lawsuit or Part 2 for particular regulations for alone cases, such as as unlawful detainers.

Hi, my name is Erin and I am a bad packer.

Yesterday I bought a new carryon bag as my old one was on it's last legs. The new one is so cute, it looks like a doctors bag! Anyway that got me thinking about what I am going to bring on our trip next month, and it scared me a little bit.
Whenever we go on a trip we stay in one location so bringing a ton of stuff is alright. Not this time. This time we are taking planes, trains and automobiles to the various places we will be visiting. The one perk is that I will be using a friend's house as a home base for part of the time, but it is still a bit of a haul to get there.
I always pack about three times more than I should, and have no space saving ideas. Help! I really want to cut it down so it isn't a burden.

Erin! since you won't be in any one place for too long no one is going to see you wear the same outfit more than once so remember that when packing. Take a few wash and wear type outfits and if you need more---well you could be forgiven for having to do some shopping!! Do remember to pack some of your Christmas cake, all darkness and moist, just in case you need an evening snack with your excellent hot chocolate Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Hi Erin,

Most of my over-packing came from bringing too many shoes, which in turn stemmed from wanting to match shoes with all the different outfits I was bringing along. I realized I didn't need to have pairs of black AND brown shoes (multiply by dress and casual versions) if I only stuck to clothes from a related color palette, so I usually just pick clothes that will all go with the same set of shoes - usually in the black/grey family.

I also like multi-purpose shoes. So I now pack only a pair of very comfortable walking shoes that can also go with skirts (like mary janes with a rubber sole), and on the plane I wear a pair of mid-heeled tall leather boots - can be worn with jeans, trousers, and skirts. Depending on my destination and the amount of walking to be done, I sometimes dispense with the walking shoes altogether. Of course, the boots don't work as well for warm climates, but Europe in the winter, spring, or fall should be fine.

Last tip - buy some cheap travel-sized plastic containers for toiletries and fill them up with your favorite products. Wrap in a plastic bag to avoid spillage and stuff them in your packed shoes.

Have a great trip!

Most of my closet is black and grey, I think I can do that.
I have always been a bad packer, bringing what if clothes and by that I don't mean what if it rains but, what if I'm having a fat day or a tall day. Yes I really have them both. Since we moved here and there aren't many reasons to wear heels I tend to look for any reason to bring them. I have already resigned myself to the fact that that isn't going to happen this time. Phil has issued threats if I try.

Good advice.

I also used to overpack badly. Sometimes even now I allow myself to daydream that I will wear a specific outfit on holidays ... and it never makes it out of the suitcase... but in all I am much better now.

I use a similar method to that mentioned.

As it is winter here now, I would look at how many weeks I was away for. If it were three, I would pack as such (allows time for washing - even if just handwashing in the hotel sink...)

one pair casual trousers (ie jeans)
one pair better trousers (ie cords)
one pair nice trousers (ie tailored slacks)
one pair of good comfy walking shoes (trainers/flat boots/whatever)
one pair of nicer shoes (for wearing out somewhere special - but still practical)
one really nice blouse (for wearing with tailored slacks)
4 shirts or long sleeve knit tops (for mixing and matching with all trousers)
one casual jumper (ie polar fleece)
one dressy jumper (ie pretty knit)
5 pairs of socks
5 pairs of underwear
toilettries... which I then pack into smaller bottles as suggested above.

One pair of trousers and shoes etc would be worn on the plane, so you really do wind up with alot of room left in your suitcase.

I do indulge in 2 different colour lipsticks and 2 (small) different colour eyeshadow pallettes. This way you can change the look of the same outfit by changing the makeup you wear.

I always pack a face cloth into my cabin bag and a bottle of evian spray. I use these to keep my skin hydrated and if you moisten teh cloth and pop it on your face during the flight you don't get to your destination all dried out and red eyed. My toilettries bag and medications always travel in my handluggage along with a change of underwear. We have had lost or damaged luggage far to many times now to not preprepare.

Big tip is to go to the beautician and ask for sample packs of moisturiser and cleanser etc. This way you save space and can chuck the little containers/sachets as you go.

We also use a packing system to hold our clothes in teh suitcase. It is by a company called eaglecreek and is a series of fabric pouches which you place all your clothes into. It comes with instructions that also show you how to fold things to make the most of space in your luggage. As we travel alot it is a very good investment and very practical.

Ziplock bags are my other pet thing in luggage. I put any liquid (shampoo etc) containers in a bag and close it. THey are see through if customs wants to go through your bag, but prevent spills. Also any medication can go in there and be kept visible but together. Makes a good soap container that does not take up any room or weight. A few extra bags also come in handy for damp washing etc. I usually throw in a few of each size to cope with any and all emergencies. The big ones are good for wet walking shoes..... last thing you want in a suitcase with all your clothes etc.

Good luck!! Wink

I may be jealous, but I'll still post... I have lived out of one carry-on for two weeks in Europe or Central and South America.

Layering clothes is good - so you can take one sweater, which might be bulky, but 3 thin shirts to rotate wearing underneath. Jackets with zip-out vest liners are nice - depending on the weather fluctuations you can wear just the vest, the jacket alone, or both on cold days.

I love and for travel clothing and accessories. Especially their wrinkle resistant options, and quick-dry clothes. We have the Tilley's travel socks and underwear - they say 2 pair of each can get you around the world! Laughing Sounds like a small thing, but the less socks I have to pack, the more souvenirs will fit. And socks are one of those things that can take ages to hang dry. A few choice pieces go far and make good investments. For men, the shirts that dry overnight and breathe are awesome, too, though for warmer or more tropical destinations usually.

I also recommend not carrying a purse if you can manage without one. I keep money, credit cards and my passport in an around the neck or belt-flap pouch hidden away. Camera around the neck and lipgloss in a pocket. Sometimes you need a day bag, though, with map and more. You'll want it to be comfortable and fit over your shoulder so your hands are free. Also, those bags that zip into themselves, and become wallet-size, are great. Can fit in a pocket until you need it, then open it up to hold that baguette, block of cheese, dessert and small souvenir purchases that might come up.

Sometimes these options can be found in local sporting good stores too. Pocky's shoe suggestions are good. To me, comfortable walking shoes - real walking shoes, not just your most comfy loafers - make a huge difference. One extra pair if you need that is dressier for evenings out, but not all day sight-seeing.

I also like to bring a couple colorful thin scarves. Makes you feel less sloppy or like you are wearing your pj's or jeans pulled out of the hamper if you have a nice accessory tied around your neck.

OK, I'll shut up now...

My idea of packing heaven is travelling with carry-on luggage only and nothing else.

This rarely happens as we're usually taking a bike/kayak/kids with us. The closest we got was when we went to Thailand last year - 26 kg of baggage between 4 of us. Coming home was a different story - 140kg! Lots of shopping and a double folding kayak in huge bags.

And when we go camping it's even worse! 8 jerry cans of fuel, 100 litres of water, enough food for a large army for a fortnight. Our 4WD usually looks like the Beverly Hillbilly's truck, but without Granny in her rocking chair on top of it all, and our kids reckon I'm getting old enough to be able to do that!

So I don't think I can add anything sensible to this discussion. We're off camping again tomorrow, with kayaks, bikes and the works.

Erin, remember whenever in doubt...don't take it (if you are can in all probability GET IT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Having just gone through simmilar experiences, my only regrets on the way over were taking too much, (while on the way back I didn't take (back) enough) Remember every item you haul with you is a potential treasure you cannot return with

Oh and my wife swears by her silk thermal underwear Smile Light, warm, and packs down to nothing!!!

have a great time!!!!!!

I am SO going to use all your advises! I am a good traveller but a bad packer as well, and very good at the 'what ifs', especially the 'what if I spill a large coffee....' Smile.
I do recommend the colorful scarves or thin pashmina's as well: especially when wearing neutral colours it can brighten up your outfit and they often helped me through airconditioned evenings in restaurants and theatres and so on. I always take one in my carry-on as well, together with some underwear, some toiletries (but sunscreen can go in the suitcase) and something to eat and drink.
And I love my set of 'spacebags'that I bought in the USA: if you stock up on souvenirs you can put some clothes in there and roll them to a vaccuum and voilá, they take only half the space. They will wrinkle a little, so that would mostly work on casual things and on your way back home Wink

Me again.

I'm packing this very minute for a trip overseas, which reminded me of one or two ideas I forgot to mention before.

I used to pack massive amounts of reading material for long trips - bulky, heavy, and I would get library books or books I wanted to keep, so I would get stuck lugging them all around and back home again. Now I hit the used bookstore and invest a few dollars at most for books to get me through the first part of the trip. When I finish reading, I leave the books behind at a B&B or hostel (for other readers to discover) and hit the used bookstores in whatever city I'm in for a fresh set. Cheap, saves space - and on the way home, that space can be used for cookbooks from your destination. If you have a PDA and can stand the eye strain, you could even download books from the internet and have unlimited reading material in a very compact space. I tried this once, and it made my luggage lighter no doubt, but I didn't like squinting at the screen so much.

Sweaters can also be bulky. Unless I'm going to a frigid climate, I instead like taking pashminas or a warm wool shawl to throw around my shoulders - warm, and packs flat.

Good luck with the packing and your trip! No matter how much of an overpacker you are, I think you're probably still miles ahead of my college self when, naive and foolish, I left for a study abroad year carrying AN ENTIRE STEREO in my suitcase (and not a small boombox either). God only knows what I was thinking!

Great idea about the books, that is a big problem of mine. NERD CONFESSION: I bring my thesaurus everywhere. It's not the small one either, it's the giant Oxford one. I think it may be time to invest in a smaller one for travel.

there is hope Erin! Having travelled widely since college here are some things I swear by...
pashminas are king! or queen as the case may be....I never travel without at least 3. I travel for business and meeting rooms are notoriously cold/drafty. They are good on the plane, while reading in bed, as an extra blanket, a liner against harsh hotel sheets, keeps hairstyles in place in wind or convertibles ( add sunglasses for the riveria)
Take almost empty things of toothpaste, hairspray etc and discard on last morning.
I swear by black on the bottom and color on top. Black pants, cords, jeans, skirts ( long & short) and one black sleeveless sheath. I also usually limit to one or two colors on top/ pink and black, aqua and black...
I usually only take rolling laptop case and roll on suitcase on plane, as I have to be able to carry my own and also keep up with very long legged male colleagues who race through airports
When I travel with my husband and we have 2 suitcases I put 1/2 of each of our clothes in each suitcase. That way if one is lost I or he still has some clothes ( learned the hard way when British Airways lost luggage for 3 days)
I limit my jewelry to things I can live without for obvious reasons
cashmere sweaters are also great for 3 season traveling. In summer change to 3/4 sleeve cotton t shirts. You can layer both for winter/very cold climates.
For walking shoes I swear by Giraudon loafers that I got from Garnet Hill
Very thick black rubber soles but sleek and fashionable. Geox also makes good ones. I take one pair of black slingback low heels for dress up and a small ( tiny) black evening bag
I never wear shorts unless I am at resort, but cropped pants, khakis are fashionable everywhere
In summer I switch to khakis as they are lighter than jeans
Can't help you with the book/reading material issues, I am guilty as charged.
I also use Caudelie's vino/herbal spray for keeping my skin hydrated during flight. Before flying make sure to put a super heavy duty body moisturizer on all over to keep the rest of your skin comfortable on a long flight. I keep a small mesh bag next to me in the seat pocket with chapstick, tylenol, face spray, shoutwipe, tissues and a water bottle. That way I don't have to keep reaching up or down for things. Also the mini ipod with podcasts to catch up on.
and my best travel tip.....always sit in the back of the plane. You can board first, there is always overhead space then, once the food carts go by, you can walk the aisle, close to restrooms, and by the time you get off the plane any checked luggage is usually up or close to coming up!
Enjoy your travels!

two pairs dark-colored cotton pants with a tiny bit of stretch: These are not too heavy and dry quicker than jeans, don't wrinkle or need ironing, work for both casual and more dressy, accomodate fat days, and can be paired with silk long johns if it's cold.
one pair yoga pants and camisole to sleep in

one (or maybe two if it's very hot) skirts with a dark background (My favorite does not wrinkle and has an elastic waistband which I hide under the tops.
It works for both day and going out at night)

one pair of comfortable walking sandals to wear with skirts
one pair of comfortable walking shoes (wear on plane because the sandals take less room) that can withstand some rain-or- Rain boots if it's likely to rain all the time (mine also double as snow shoes)
one pair of smallish hiking shoes if I'm sure to be hiking
Travelling is not the time to try out your heels. Find another excuse close to home!

one or two stretchy dressy tops
4 or 5 short or long sleeve t-shirts depending on the weather
one or two cardigans (black and maybe a pretty color)
one silk long john top if it's cold

one trench coat (grey or bright red)

7 pairs of socks and underwear
swimsuit even if I don't think I'll need it
one scarf that goes with everything and is good for adjusting temperatures

All this fits into one carry on size roller/back pack suitcase. It also has a zip on backpack into which I stuff papers and books. I confess that I struggle getting the book weight down. I do bring paperbacks and leave them as I go. I also scope out English language bookstores in places like Paris or Barcelona. I also usually have at least a couple guidebooks.

I take one smaller carry on with toileteries, a book, ear plugs, pillow, and so on. I can carry all of this stuff by myself up and down stairs and so on.

I once went to Italy with all of the "right" sensible things I was told to bring. I was miserable and frumpy. Bring things you love... and if you can wash them out in the sink that is great too.

Good luck! Sounds like a real challenge.

When she comes home from work I will ask her for a few words to describe my packing style... Wink

At some airport in the States...having to open my suitcase to find the rolls of film (advised by the dude in charge)...all in one plastic bag?..don't be sooooo here, one there, perhaps one under here...

But it's more the idea that Bruce has become lost and directionless once again in TDKR that makes my mind see a parallel there.

I really like the scene with Iceman's family, but to me it feels like a very general Mutant Teenager Gets Rejected by His Family kind of scene, rather than something that tells me much about Iceman.

I loved Rogue's relationship with Logan in X1, but once that pretty much went out of the window in X2 there wasn't much left to her character IMO.

Seriously, **** him. This new USM show is utterly terrible, and AEMH is one of the best damn cartoons from the past decade. They cancel it I will go ballistic.
