Twelve injured in Washington after ride at fair topples over

Sunday, April 19, 2009

At least twelve children have been injured after a swing ride at the Puyallup, Washington Spring Fair toppled over.

The ride is called a ‘LollySwing’, which is located in Kiddyland, where the riders sit in swings while the machine spins them around. It is owned by Funtastic Traveling Shows which has been a ride provider for the fair for over 50 years. The accident happened at around 6:30 p.m. (PDT).

Injuries are being described as mostly cuts and bruises, but one child was reported to have been in a neck brace and was taken to a local hospital. Five other children were also hospitalized.

According to one witness, “it just all of a sudden topped over.” The cause is under investigation. The ride has been at the fair for the past five years. Among the seven largest operators of fair rides in Washington, from 2001 to 2007 there were only seven reports of injuries related to mechanical failures.

Over 10,000 attend Gallipoli dawn service for ANZAC Day centenary

Monday, April 27, 2015

A crowd of over 10,000 people attended the dawn service on Saturday at Gallipoli, Turkey for the 100th anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops there in 1915. The solemn remembrance ceremony was held at the site of the original Gallipoli landings, now known as Anzac Cove.

The Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War is remembered as a failed attack in which thousands of lives were lost for little to no gain for either side. The campaign killed 45,000 Allied and 86,000 Turkish troops.

Attendees at the dawn service included Prince Charles, the Prime Minister of Australia, and the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s speech later in the day emphasised the importance of the day to Australians. “Like every generation since, we are here on Gallipoli because we believe the Anzacs represented Australians at their best. Because they rose to their challenges, we believe it is a little easier for us to rise to ours. Their example helps us to be better than we would otherwise be”, he said.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key at dawn described Gallipoli as a symbol of the highest ideals of Australians and New Zealanders “especially when they work side by side in the face of adversity”.

Prince Charles stirred emotions by reading extracts from a serviceman’s diary. The diary entry, by Company Quartermaster Sergeant Benjamin Leane, was addressed to his wife and was written hours before the first Gallipoli landing.

The centenary milestone of Anzac Day also drew a Turkish security force of 3700, both police and paramilitary. Attendees entered past six security checkpoints.

A record 120,000 people also attended services at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra to commemorate the centenary.

How La Process Servers Can Help Cut Down Expenses

How La Process Servers Can Help Cut Down Expenses

The desire of every attorney is to render services in a professional way and end up victorious. However, this is not a simple goal to achieve.

The desire of every attorney is to render services in a professional way and end up victorious. However, this is not a simple goal to achieve. There is a lot of work that ought to be done ranging from legal document preparation to serving the defendant. Often, lawyers fail to represent their clients superbly due to the daunting nature of the preparation process. Things have, however, changed. With help from LA process servers, you can alleviate the maze in a great way. One of the key reasons why you should hire these agents is because of the many cost saving benefits they bring.

Los Angeles process servers are not attorneys. They are simply messengers. As a result, the service fee charged to you will always be lower. You will get the service of serving your defendants with the necessary legal documents, get prove of service while at the same time have no major impact on your wallet. This is what has enabled most law firms to concentrate better in their work with minimal expenses.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ4KEn-uf94[/youtube]

Second, the use of LA process servers will help deal away with the monthly expenses. This is especially so if you have a team under your payroll to serve defendants. At times, the work done by such support staff is not worth paying the fixed monthly salary. Using a process server company will help deal with this problem. The agents are only paid for what they do and not a fixed rate. Additionally, you will not have to deal with the costs of hiring new staff. All that you need to do is contact the service provider when the need arises and the rest will be done on your behalf within a fraction of the time.

Another way in which the Los Angeles process servers save you money is through the reduction of travel needs to and from the residence of the defendant. The firms offering legal document service have widespread tentacles. All they need to do is contact the agent closest to your target defendant. Moreover, the delivery of legal documents is done via mail or by hand. The beauty of using these agents is that you will get prove of delivery without ever leaving you office or contacting the defendant personally.

You should also note that the LA process servers will help deal with the costs incurred when re-filing a case. This is common where the defendant claims he or she never received the notification and you have no proof. The court cannot rule a case at this stage. You, the attorney, will have to incur more expenses preparing the case over again. This is, however, not the case when dealing with an agent. The agent will be willing to appear in court to attest with indisputable evidence that he served the defendant.

Lastly, you will have less interaction with the defendant. The defendant might at times be ruthless and harm you. This might incur you expenses filing a lawsuit or getting treatment. The problem can be averted by dealing with Los Angeles process servers.

Second Darwin’s sandwich shop opens in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

Thursday, June 2, 2005

Darwin’s Ltd. opened a second location of their sandwich shop at 1613 Cambridge Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in late May. It is situated across from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. Previously limited to one location at 148 Mount Auburn Street, the second store seats approximately 30 people and sells sandwiches, coffee drinks, locally made pastries, as well as some produce and snack foods. The establishment also provides free wireless access through the WanderingWifi service. The shop plays music during the day; during this reporter’s visit to the shop, selections played ranged from David Bowie to The Strokes. The store is air-conditioned.

Key differences between the original store and the new one include the unification of the cafe and the sandwich line now behind one counter, handicap accessible restrooms, no beer or wine sold at location, and a lack of a loyal customer base. Although the recent months have been slow, business is expected to pick up with the return of Cambridge area students this autumn.

While the original location of Darwin’s was recently cited for lacking sneeze guards before the kitchen counter, according to the Cambridge Chronicle, the new Darwin’s has acrylic sheets along the front of their sandwich counter. The original Darwin’s has installed the sneeze guard at the kitchen counter the day following citation.

How to Use Essential Oils

Juliet Cohen

Essential oils are really focused and powerful. Essential oils are extremely concentrated liquids that can be detrimental if not used cautiously. Essential oils are the gist of the plant. They are not the same as fragrance oils. Essential oils are derived from genuine plants, fragrance oils are artificially created fragrances or carry man-made substances and do not provide the curative benefits that vital oils provide. There are many uses for vital oils, from curative foot baths to fragrant room sprays. Essential oils participate the system primarily in three ways applied to the rind, inhaled, or ingested. Within each of these.

There are many different kinds of application methods. Drops of essential oils are placed in a water-based solution, shaken, and sprayed into the air in order to deodorize a room or set a mood. Add a few drops of oil to water in a spray bottle and use as an air freshener. Use essential oils in the bath by adding three to eight drops to the tub, depending on the oil. Add it just before you get in and soak for at least 10 minutes. Use oils as an inhalant to treat congestion or stress (try peppermint or sandalwood). Put four drops in a bowl of hot, almost boiling water. Drape a towel over your head to make a tent and breathe in the steam for a few minutes.

The toilet is well fragrant by placing oil-scented cotton balls in inconspicuous places. Sprinkle oils immediately onto silk or dried blossom arrangements or wreaths. Essential oils or blends take fantastic perfumes. Create your own private gist. Add 25 drops to 1 oz of scent alcohol and permit to age for two weeks before using. Essential oils are mixed into a home oil such assweet almond or grapeseed oil. Essential oils are placed in this device, sometimes with water , and sometimes with warmth so they vaporize. Essential oils should never be immediately burned as the chemical system is dramatically changed with incineration.

For burms or scalds, drop Tea Tree oil directly on the effected area. People with liver or kidney disease should only use essential oils under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. Essential oils are considered to be therapeutic grade when they are distilled under low temperatures and low pressure relative to the specific plant material. Essential oils are considered to be therapeutic grade when they are distilled under low temperatures and low pressure relative to the specific plant material. If the temperature and pressure are too high it effects the constituents in the oils and reduces the therapeutic value.

IMF prepares to help Hungary and Ukraine

Friday, October 17, 2008

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is preparing a series of loans to both Hungary and Ukraine as financial problems are hitting the two countries. Hungary has already received a €5 billion credit line from the European Central Bank (ECB). Ukraine is seeking a loan of up to US$14 billion.

The credit line to Hungary will be used to cover banks’ shortage of euros. Hungary has a severe debt problem with them posting an account deficit of €5.3 billion or 4.9% of GDP this year. As a result of this, Hungary is unable to find suitable credit to store up its supply of euros.

“We are in close dialogue with the Hungarian authorities and the EU to discuss further responses to the current challenges, including possible technical and financial support by the IMF”, said Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director of the IMF. “I have informed the authorities that the IMF stands ready to assist their efforts. We will provide technical assistance as needed and, in the context of a supportive policy setting, are ready to undertake [decisions] on possible financial assistance, responding rapidly.”

Ukraine’s Finance Minister Viktor Pynzenyk met with an IMF team on Thursday. In a statement, Pynzenyk said “the parties discussed a situation of influence the world financial crisis had on the economy of Ukraine.” It is not yet known how much the IMF is expected to lend to Ukraine but it is expected to be between $3 billion to $14 billion. It is also not known what type of conditions might be placed on the loan.

In addition to financial uncertainty, Ukraine is suffering from political turmoil with the current President, Viktor Yushchenko, calling a snap parliamentary election for December. The Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, has made moves to stop the election. Ukraine’s yearly trade deficit has increased by almost $7 billion since last year.

The credit line by the European Central Bank is the first time publicly that it has extended help to countries other than the 15 that make up the Eurozone.

According to Reuters, Hungary might be able to start the process of joining the euro quicker then expected. Currently, Hungary is on track to join the euro in 2011 or 2012, but if sped up, it is possible it could join as early as 2010. This might protect Hungary from further financial problems.

USPTO partially confirms validity of Amazon “1-click patent”

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

Today, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued an office action, which confirmed the patentability of claims 6 to 10 of the Amazon 1-Click patent, US 5,960,411. The patent examiner, however, rejected claims 1 to 5 and 11 to 15. Amazon now has up to six months to amend the rejected claims to overcome the examiner’s rejection, provide arguments to demonstrate that the examiner is in error and/or provide evidence to demonstrate the patentability of their claims. During this period, the entire patent is still considered valid under US patent law.

The USPTO is reconsidering the patentability of the claims due to a request for reexamination filed by New Zealander Peter Calveley. Mr. Calveley used internet archives to show that defunct company Digi Cash used a similar technique prior to Amazon. Despite costing a substantial sum of cash and requiring donations to prepare and file the request for reexamination, Calveley said he did it as a game and hopes that his success inspires others to play the same game.

“One Click” shopping is an ecommerce technique, which allows a customer to purchase products via the Internet without repeatedly entering personal information such as name and address. At the time it was introduced it eased the frustration of on-line shopping.

Amazon filed the patent application for 1-click shopping in early 1997 and was granted the patent in September 1999. 23 days later Amazon sued rival Barnes & Noble for alleged infringement by its “Express Lane” ordering which was introduced in 1998. In December 1999 Amazon won an interim injunction against Barnes & Noble but the USA Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit lifted this injunction in February 2001. The parties then settled their dispute for undisclosed terms. Amazon has since successfully licensed the technique to other e-sellers such as Apple.

NZ law exempts working farm dogs from embedded ID tag rule

Wednesday, June 21, 2006

New Zealand farmers have won a key victory in Parliament, with MPs voting to exempt Working farm dogs from microchipping legislation, passing 61:60.

The Federated Farmers debated the law for a long time, saying that the cost of microchipping all their dogs will be a huge cost and an inconvenience. Under previous legislation, all newly registered dogs were to have identification microchips embedded by July 1. The microchips in dogs are for owner identification, in case of attacks on humans. This law was introduced when Carolina Anderson, 7-year-old, was attacked in 2003.

Parliament has been debating several proposed amendments to the Local Government Law Reform bill, which aimed to change the microchipping requirement.

Blogger David Farrar says “It is very messy for the Government to lose the vote after piling so much pressure on.” In the end only Labour, Progressive plus New Zealand First voted for it.

The Green party split votes (rare for a party). Four Greens MPs voted for the farm dog exemption and two against.

The four Green MPs were – Sue Bradford, Keith Locke, Sue Kedgley and Nandor Tanczos. The Greens had previously proposed that only dangerous dogs should be microchipped.

In favour of exempting farm dogs:

Total: 61

Against:
