A graduate of Howard University, Salvants first career was in music, where, as a female executive, I was trying to look official. A good pail of glasses would complete all outfit. Today, Salvant, who is farsighted, has roughly 50 pairs of eyeglasses and shades, some of which she interchanges by switching lenses.
A nurse dropped a false eye in a glass of cola to play a joke on a colleague, a tribunal was told. Christine Mitchelson, 53, is also accused of drawing a face on a patients hernia, subjecting patients to degrading treatment and making racist comments about foreign hospital staff. The nurse, from Newcastle upon Tyne, who denies 12 allegations of misconduct, was unable to attend yesterdays tribunal in London because of ill- health. In one allegation, Ms Mitchelson is accused of giving Pauline Stanton, the ward sister, a cup of cola containing a patients glass eye. Ms Mitchelson is also accused of giving a patient twice the prescribed dose of insulin and of roughly treating five patients.
Richard Edlow, is the need for reading glasses among an aging population.Of people ages 45 and above - a large slice of Baltimoreans, as baby boomers age - 98 percent require reading glasses, Edlow said. And no one is more likely to forget their spectacles while rushing out of the house than someone who needs them only for reading, he added.We run into instances with patients we see, they come in and say, I forget my reading glasses all the time. Its a problem especially when Im in a new restaurant trying to read the menu, Edlow explained. And as a consumer, I see people all the time borrowing somebodys glasses. We thought, wouldnt it be a neat idea to join together with a number of restaurants and provide it for the public?About a month ago Katzen launched its MenuMates program, providing to each restaurant four pairs of reading glasses contained in a wooden recipe box. The glasses represent the four most common lens strengths, and the box includes a chart with different sizes of print to help patrons select the prescription they need.Five restaurants are on board with the program so far - Liberatores Ristorante, with locations throughout the area, Cosmopolitan Bar Grill in Canton, Cafe Troia in Towson, Vaccaros Italian Pastry Shop in Little Italy and the Brass Elephant on North Charles Street. Jack Elsby, co-owner of the Brass Elephant, said his establishment has seen so many squinting diners he has kept glasses on hand to offer them in the past. Were the kind of restaurant - upscale - where the lighting can be dark and ambient and romantic, Elsby said. And our clientele tends to be 35 and above, those who might [need reading glasses]. We have customers asking all the time.Katzen provides the glasses to restaurants free of charge, and will replenish them if guests wander off with them - a habit that quickly depleted the Brass Elephants supply when Elsby purchased the glasses himself. The cost to Katzen is minimal, according to Edlow.Its a nice touch, he said of the program. Its a community service that helps both our patients and others.And, of course, theres the prospect of increased name recognition for Katzen, he acknowledged.MenuMates targets upscale restaurants, the COO added, as those are most likely to have attentive waitstaff who would notice when a guest is struggling with the menu. Katzen hopes to have 25 or 35 participating restaurants within the next six months, and maybe as many as 100 in a year. The program could even expand nationally if it proves popular, Edlow said, or even to other establishments like golf courses. For Elsby and the other restaurateurs, MenuMates gives them another opportunity to enhance their guests dining experience. A quality atmosphere is all about the details, Elsby explained.I think it just gives them bit more comfort, which makes evening go better, he said.

Thanks to a pharmacological breakthrough, The “polypill” will soon be with us. Combining six different heart medications in one supercharged tablet, its the latest in a line of pharmaceutical attempts to banish heart disease. What a sad indictment of our attitude to health that we could consider such mass medication as a solution for a health epidemic whose causes are clearly apparent and could be virtually eradicated through education and personal responsibility. The Western “cardiovascular crisis” could be consigned to history with a change in attitude and a willingness to implement what we already know. Why wait for the polypill when you can make a real difference to your heart health, starting today. When it comes to preventing a heart attack or stroke, little changes will cumulatively pay big dividends.

VAN NUYS, Calif. — High-priced, clip-on hair extensions are becoming a hot item in drug stores.Despite the high cost of these hair accessories — Revlons Clipit retails for $49.95 and Rene of Paris The Hair Company Clip-On Hair Extension sells for $29.95 — women have been snapping them up, according to retailers and manufacturers.For three years, the Vogues and Harpers Bazaars of the world have been commenting on hair accessories, but there was no place for urban women to buy them, said Dino Valentino, vice president of marketing for Rene of Paris, whose ponytail-type hair extension is attached to a French barrette. Rene of Paris has been selling its product in Eckerd Drug, Longs Drug Stores, Arbor Drugs and Vicks Drug since September.
MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. — Meeting with Manufacturer Leads to Possible Expansion of the Companys Product Offerings and Broadening of Potential Customer Base This week, executive management of JRC Global Products met with the president of the manufacturing company in order to finalize the agreement and discuss future plans. This company will become JRC Global Products exclusive manufacturer of the patented line of hair products, including the hair extension system, which is used to add volume, density and length, and the hair replacement system, which is designed mainly for women who are experiencing hair loss on the top of the head.
MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. — Overwhelming interest in product and services enables Company to move forward with sales and marketing plans more quickly than anticipated Estanislao Raphael Ruiz (aka Raphael Basante), President of JRC Global Products, stated that inquiries, orders and requests for samples have increased tenfold since Mrs. Ruiz and I were hired by the Jackson Rivers Company. We have known that there was an immense interest in the product for some time, but were unable to get our message out to the public without help from an established company. The latest news released to the public (see Press Release 2/1/05) alone has generated even more interest than we had imagined. The initial order of top-quality human hair and the supplies used to apply the system has been placed and will be used to satisfy and fulfill these inquiries and orders as quickly as possible. The patented line of hair products and services, newly offered and distributed exclusively by JRC Global Products, include the extension system, which is used to add volume, density, and length, and the hair replacement system, which is designed mainly for women who are experiencing hair loss on top. It is an integration technique, which means the clients existing hair is pulled through openings in the center of the base of the extension or hair replacement. The clients hair is not completely covered by conventional hairpiece or wig, but rather is enhanced by the system. It is a system unlike any other currently offered. Opposed to the application of all products offered by our competitors, which causes damage to clients natural hair, ours does not, added Mr. Basante.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy. Thomas E. Dowd. Northvale, NJ: Jason Aronson (2002). 240 pages, $40. Reviewed by: Bruce N. Eimer, Ph.D., ABPP, Philadelphia, PA. Until recently, there has been little in the CT literature on the use of hypnosis (Golden et al., 1987). In the language of the laterality of brain functions, cognitive therapy has emphasized “left brain” thinking as opposed to “right brain” creativity and imagination. In Cognitive Hypnotherapy, Tom Dowd successfully changes this emphasis-adding “right brain” to what was mostly a “left brain” art. For CT and CBT practitioners, Cognitive Hypnotherapy offers options for expanding the scope and flexibility of their practice by adding hypnosis to it. For clinical hypnosis practitioners, this book models efficient ways of integrating cognitive restructuring and reframing techniques with direct and indirect, permissive, hypnosis trance induction and therapeutic suggestion techniques.
Hypnosis is widely used and accepted as an adjunct to treatment for pain control, habit disorders, symptom reduction, and many medical problems. Although in the past the application and effectiveness of hypnosis have been questioned by the medical community, the clinical disciplines that use hypnotherapy have grown to include the medical specialties, psychiatry, psychology, and social work. In the last 20 years over 100 review articles have been published by a diverse membership in both the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis and the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, which are the respective journals of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and the Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. The International Society of Hypnosis is composed of individual members from more than 20 national constituent societies. The use of hypnosis is widespread in various areas of clinical medicine, and family physicians are in an ideal position to address questions about the indications, misconceptions, and contraindications for the use of hypnosis. The physicians understanding of the history, theory, and clinical application can help guide the patient to this alternate therapeutic modality. Education in basic and advanced hypnosis can also enhance the family physicians armamentarium in diagnosing and treating many common ailments.
Morgan D. (1996). The principles of hypnotherapy. Bradford UK: Eilidon Press. The book is divided into three parts. Part A consisting of 9 chapters covers foundational material on systems theory and how that can be applied to organic systems and to hypnosis. It discusses positive feedback loops that amplify the process and negative feedback loops that subdue the process. Positive feedback amplification can be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether increasing the effect is desired, while negative feedback calming can be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether decreasing the effect is desired. Morgan focuses on the activity of a system, the activity of its component subsystems, or the activity of the supersystem of which the system is a component. His main theoretical focus is on whether the activity of the system is increasing, decreasing, or staying the same, as other components change in specified ways. Hypnosis is described in systems terms, not as a “state,” but rather in terms of what system or subsystem components are changed, either increased or decreased, during trance induction, deepening, maintenance, trance work, and termination. He uses simple symbols to represent activities in quasi-mathematical style, which is helpful. Some of the letter symbols are used for different activities in different parts of the book. It would have been easier to follow if given letter symbols had been used more consistently to represent single specific activities. Some of his textual references to others publications are found in the bibliography at the end of the book, but some are unfortunately not present in the bibliography. He goes through common hypnotic tests in Chapter 8 and inductions in Chapter 9 explaining them in systems terms. This does produce some greater conceptual clarity with respect to subsystem component activities during hypnosis. Part B consisting of 6 chapters is the central discussion on what the systems approach can teach us about hypnotherapy. Chapter 10 discusses the matter of diagnosis in systems terms looking at precursors, problems, and resultants, and how they change with respect to one another. Chapter 11 focuses on positive and negative feedback loops in organic systems including behavioral, emotive, and cognitive. The vicious circle is a positive feedback loop with harmful consequences. Thinking in systems terms may make needed changes clearer to the therapist. Chapter 12 looks at the consequences of symptom reduction. The remaining three chapters in this part examine making changes by choosing the appropriate positive feedback loops to amplify desired effects and the appropriate negative feedback loops to quiet undesired effects, planning the changes, and reinforcing the changes by selecting natural reinforces.

Photographic Rockhound Are you looking for new subject matter to widen your photographic skills? Maybe something that has endless possibilities? If so, try the unlimited source of beauty found in rock slabs. Here you will find pattern, color and texture that can be photographed in a variety of ways with results that sometimes come out looking as abstract as a modern painting.
To come up with a different image no matter what it takes For the last twenty years, Milian has been bringing that edgy spirit of innovation to sports photography as a staff photographer at Sports Illustrated. He has mounted a remote-controlled camera on the front of a kayak-, dangled from helicopters, and spent a week in the Colombian jungle photographing a boxing dynasty. All the while, though, his work remained grounded in the basics of lighting and composition. He does mostly indoor work for SI, and his photos inevitably capture the defining moment of the action with studio-like quality and precision. Consider his preparation for a basketball game at Madison Square Garden: he arrives at one in the afternoon - five cases of equipment in tow - for a 7 Pm. tip-off. Depending on what hes after, he may set up eight or more cameras - on the catwalk, mounted behind the backboard glass, in the stands, and on the floor. Each is synchronized with his hand-held camera via a Flash Wizard, a radio-controlled device that allows him to get the same shot from multiple angles. Next, a set of strobe lights is set tip in each corner of the court, also synchronized like the cameras. most of srs indoor jobs are shot using strobes rather than natural light. They provide an intense, even light that allows Milian to use fine-grained film and produce higher quality images. The trade-off is that, while his newspaper counterparts using motor drives shoot five frames a second, Milian gets one image every three seconds. “It puts more of a premium on the focus of your assignment,” he says. “We cant just go in and fire away. We have to concentrate on getting the peak action on one shot.”
PhotographOne of the first researchers to produce photographic images using silver halide chemistry was Schultze. As early as 1727, he formed metallic silver images by first reacting solutions of silver nitrate and white chalk and then exposing these solutions to light through stencils. Schultzes work was improved upon through the efforts of Louis Jacques Mand#xE9; Daguerre who, in 1837, developed a process for printing images on a silver coated copper plate. This type of printed image, called a daguerreotype in honor of its primary inventor, is made by polishing and cleaning a silver-coated copper plate and then reacting the silver coating with iodine vapors to form light-sensitive silver iodide. The silver iodide coated plate is then exposed to light through the optics of a camera that projects and focuses an image on the plate. In the ensuing reaction, the silver ions are reduced to silver metal. Finally, the plate is treated with mercury to produce an amalgam. In this type of print, the areas of the plate exposed to light appear white and the unexposed areas remain dark. The problem with this method was that it required long exposure times because the intensity of the image depends solely on the strength of the light forming the image.

TRANSPORTATIONThe decisions a business owner must make regarding transportation of products are closely related to a number of other distribution issues. For example, the accessibility of suitable means of transportation factors into decisions regarding where best to locate a business or facility. The means of transportation chosen will also affect decisions regarding the form of packing used for products and the size or frequency of shipments made. Although transportation costs may be reduced by sending larger shipments less frequently, it is also necessary to consider the costs of holding extra inventory. The interrelationship of these decisions means that successful planning and scheduling can help business owners to save on transportation costs.
The Business Council of NYS has also endorsed it, despite voicing reservations about adding to NYs already high debt load. Half the funding will go to transit projects in the Metropolitan Transportation Authority region and the other half to bridges, roads, airports and other transportation facilities outside NYC.

The good news for dealers who have forged close ties with builders is that such bonds could serve them well into the next century. The bad news is the nature of those relationships is likely to change, and dramatically, according to a trio of builders who offered their thoughts on the future of building materials distribution at the Third Annual Pro Dealer Conference held in early September in Dallas. To remain vital cogs in the building material supply chain, dealers will need to make substantial changes in the way they do business, Dodge and fellow panelists Pat Hamill of Denver-based regional builder Oakwood Homes and Dan Horowitz of custom builder Horowitz Homes on New Yorks Long Island concur. Home builders, they say, increasingly want suppliers who can efficiently perform a greater range of services involving a higher percentage of the products that make up a home. In this pursuit, builders are turning away from old commodity-oriented, price-based relationships and forging closer, more strategic alliances with whoever can get the job done. Unfortunately for traditional dealers and distributors, that increasingly involves buying direct from manufacturers. Centex, Dodge says, is already working to establish supply relationships with manufacturers for a wide range of materials including windows and paint, and it plans to explore additional arrangements in other product areas.
Besides Latin America, your company is at work on projects in Africa, North America, Europe and the Middle East. What are the problems and advantages, compared to doing business in Latin America? What is not attractive about Latin America, from the point of view of a foreign investor, is that growth and size of market are small compared to other markets. Latin America has grown a little slower than the rest of the world and investors seem to be ignoring the region to the degree that they are focused on other markets they already know. On the other hand, a very favorable condition is that, despite crises here and there, in general Latin America is an extremely friendly place to do business. We dont have any contracts falling apart.

ASIA -info from The Observer
I once tried “improving” the Street-Porter tresses with dozens of extensions, in orange, blonde and black -I was reminded of this horror hairdo when I recorded a show with Terry Wogan last week and they played a clip of JSP and Bernard Manning circa 1992. My hair looked like a toilet brush! Shortly after that I went to Tobago for a holiday: in the sweltering heat all my fake bits stuck together and had to be picked out, one by one, a process that took the best part of a day - very unattractive. Extensions only look any good for a couple of weeks. After a bit of partying they resemble a coconut mat stuck on your head - no wonder Posh and Coleen are willing to spend thousands on maintenance.

Water Purification Using Heat Pumps F. A. Holland, S. Santoyo, C. L. Heard, and E. R. Santoyo Routledge, New York, NY, 256 pp., $99, indexed The fundamental cycle considered here for water purification is straight– forward distillation, with the heat evolved from the condensation of the purified water being pumped up a temperature gradient to evaporate the contaminated water, which has a lower vapor pressure. This can be achieved either by a mechanically driven, vapor-compression heat pump, or by a thermally driven absorption unit. The relative merits of these designs and their applicability depend on local conditions, e.g., availability of low-cost heat, and the nature of the contaminants.

The hold-ups are a matter of life and death for desperate people who have been diagnosed with cancer of the breast, colon or lung, or with a brain tumour. Doctors are furious that drugs such as Avastin, which is used to treat colon cancer, and Ce-tuximab, a treatment for head and neck cancers, are being blocked by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice), a government-appointed quango set up to decide which drugs should be routinely prescribed on the NHS.

Nausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy, affecting 70 to 85 percent of pregnant women. Morning sickness typically begins within the first nine weeks of pregnancy, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Severe morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum) occurs in approximately 0.5 to 2 percent of pregnancies. It is the most common indication for hospitalization during early pregnancy and second only to preterm labor as the most common reason for hospitalization during pregnancy. According to ACOG, some pregnant women have a higher risk of having hyperemesis gravidarum. They include women carrying multiple fetuses, daughters and sisters of women who had the condition, women carrying a female fetus, and women with a history of hyperemesis gravidarum in a previous pregnancy. Other risk factors include a history of motion sickness or migraines.

Monday May 5, 2003 will go down in history as a day to remember in employment law. It was the day the long-debated amendments to the Health Safety in Employment Act finally came into effect. Why is this new legislation so important? The term “workplace stress” took on a whole new significance, with new obligations for employers, and potentially serious financial consequences for those who ignore them. Workplace stress is no longer simply a sad fact of life. It is now an officially recognised and legislated “workplace hazard”, with the amendments extending the definitions of “harm” and “hazard” to include physical and mental harm caused by work-related stress. A cursory reading of the new legislation might be enough to instantly treble employers workplace stress, but a deeper understanding goes some way to restoring mental equilibrium. The Occupational Safety and Health booklet, Healthy work, Managing Stress in the Workplace, tells employers that “there is only a requirement to manage work stressors or the individuals stressed situation where you can be reasonably expected to know about the stress. Even then the obligation is only to do what is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.”

Health is a measure of quality of life that is difficult to define and measure. In the 1940s, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. At the first International Conference on Health Promotion in Ottawa, Canada (1986), the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion built on the WHOs concept and further defined health as a resource for everyday life. a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capabilities. Good health enables one to function independently within a changing environment.

Law and law enforcement issues.
Delivered Or Issued For Delivery? When determining whether a particular claim or lawsuit is covered, one avenue that must be considered is the applicable law, which can be affected by where the policy is delivered or issued for delivery.
LAW IN BUSINESSLaw governs and regulates virtually all aspects of the business process, from the right to engage in a business or trade, to the legal form of a business, to agreements for buying and selling merchandise or rendering services. Law regulates the quality of products sold and the advertising of products for sale. Law governs the employment relationship, protects business property, and taxes business income. This article explores the relationship of business and law in several of these areas.Business in the United States is regulated by federal and state laws as well as by local ordinances. State law regulating forms of business, business agreements, and some taxes is the most important. Federal law regulates such things as advertising, civil rights, and protection of such property as inventions. Local law typically regulates business hours, where one can do business (zoning), and health and safety.

The fact attorneys have shammed the gun industry out of millions with frivolous lawsuits, mis-represented the 2nd Amendment constantly, sued gun makers for wrong doings perpetrated by criminals who used firearms illegally, all must be a terrible mistake on their part and all easily explained away. But I understand that to generalize is always a bad idea and there must be at least one attorney who doesnt fit the category, and if so, will you write in? Of course, attorneys also wrote the Constitution, so they cant all be bad, right? But hey, before you go, did you hear the one about the attorney and the shark who, woops, sorry. It sorta slipped out. Editor
Back in the old days, when a lawyer or lawyers helper needed to bone up on a particular point of law, he or she would enter a place known as the “library” and consult something called a “book.” Thats the way it was in 1983 when Charles McCowan helped launch Kean, Miller, Hawthorne, DArmond, McCowan Jarman. Maybe law books arent that obsolete yet, but theyre close. Everythings gone electronic for crying out loud. “Now the bulk of people here use computerized research, except us dinosaurs who dont know how to do it,” McCowan says.

A major home improvement chain has won good value by using online reverse auctions to buy business travel, as Amon Cohen discovers Reverse e-auctions have excited much interest in the procurement community over the past couple of years. Supporters argue that they speed up the tendering process, which is welcome enough, but what really get purchasers juices flowing are the stories of spectacular price savings. A reverse e-auction involves rival suppliers bidding online to provide goods or service. The participants continue to undercut each others hids until cither only one is still participating or an agreed time limit is reached.
The report predict sales volumes will remain low for the rest of the decade.

Recent legislative changes in Albertas child welfare laws should bring good news to children and families in need of child-centered services in the province. The Family Support for Children with Disabilities Act is primarily a reimbursement program assisting with some of the extraordinary costs of raising a disabled child and providing a range of services to assist families with disabled children. In addition, new initiatives, such as a province-wide toll-free telephone line to link families to child disability information, promote the ready access to and exchange of information for these families. Family-focused supports are designed to strengthen a familys ability to care for a disabled child, both before and after diagnosis. Child-focused services are provided once a child has a confirmed diagnosis and a specific assessment of his or her own particular needs, which may include respite services, aide supports, child care, health-related supports, specialized services for children with severe disabilities and/or out-of-home living arrangements. The Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act (the Act) brings in a number of changes to the old child welfare system, placing greater emphasis on the safety and well-being of children as well as on family participation in decision-making with Childrens Services. One of the most significant changes in this area of the law has to do with permanency planning for children in need of intervention. Under the new Act, the cumulative time in care timelines have been shortened and varied based on the childs age. For example, the cumulative time in government care for children under the age of six has been changed to a maximum of 15 months, with 18 months for those over the age of six.
A volunteer committee organized by the Utah Bar Association will spend the next few months untangling several divorce, child custody and other family law bills that knotted up at the end of the last session of the Legislature. Both the philosophical motivation and practical application of about 20 bills will be evaluated by a 17-member ad hoc committee, which was granted permission to organize by the Judiciary Interim Committee last week. Bills that addressed topics such as establishing a state office that would enforce court-ordered child visitation, false allegations in a divorce and refining child support payment schedules when children spend extended time with a noncustodial parent created a lot of confusion, especially in the Senate at the close of the session.

Children love swimming pools. When used with proper supervision, swimming pools are safe. But when children decide to use swimming pools without supervision, they are dangerous. Each year over 250 children under five years old drown in backyard swimming pools. Most die because no one is watching them. Many of the children accidentally fall in, and no one is there to rescue them. Consumer Reports, 6/97 pp. 8-9.

The book opens with an overview of pet therapy. The first chapter outlines the values of pet therapy programs using examples from previous pet therapy programs. The contribution that pet therapy can make to quality of life is addressed. According to editors Margaret N. Abdil and Denise Juppe, individuals who interact with pets begin to trust and use positive affection more freely. Pet therapy also promotes socialization, improves self-esteem and security, and provides entertainment and acceptance. Chapter 2, The Masonic Home of New Jersey, presents an in-depth case study that outlines a successful pet therapy program. It discusses the implementation process and emphasizes the continuous growth possibilities of this particular program. In addition, this chapter briefly discusses patients with Alzheimers disease and the positive effects from a pet therapy program.

The DIY Bride (RC)
Worried about cancer, troubled by genetic diseases, or concerned about the menopause? Time was when only a visit to a doctor offered the prospect of a diagnosis, but not any more. The internet is awash with DIY tests on sale for as little as [pound]1, promising diagnoses for asthma, diabetes, cancer, flu, fertility, heart diseases, amniotic fluid leak, HIV, genetic disorders, and much more. The self-tests they identified required samples of blood, stool, saliva, semen, urine or vaginal discharge: “The samples were processed at home with results available in minutes or sent to a laboratory for processing with results returned by e-mail or post after several days,” say researchers. “We are starting to gain an understanding of who is using self-tests, how and why they are being used, and their impact on the public and health services. We think that this is essential as a wide range of self-tests are likely to continue to be available,” says Dr Angela Ryan, who led the study.
Chris Town, chairman of the Residential Landlords Association, knows the problems well - he is both a landlord and a qualified electrician himself. “I did a course this week to allow me to certify my own work, but for ordinary landlords to become qualified electricians would be quite an experience because the regulatory bodies check up on you every year,” he says. “It is as stringent now as Corgi is with gas.” Landlords who think they can just do the work and claim it was like that when they bought the property may be in for a shock, Town says. “Coincidentally, they have just changed the colour codes for mains cables, so new work will be easily identifiable. An electrician who failed to notify authorities of some new work recently was fined pounds 16,000.” Many DIY landlords flout the law where the size of the project seems minimal, Town says. “Any structural alteration may need planning permission and building-regulations approval, which people generally ignore for smalljobs,” he says. “Although they have not made plumbing a notifiable installation yet, that is only a matter of time.”

Simply put, the intention of this legal reform is to simplify the law and to improve accessibility for all by streamlining procedures in response to the public. Alberta Justice, through its Family Law Reform Project, initiated a review of all provincial family laws following a series of public consultations, primarily in Edmonton and Calgary. Family law problems are inherently complicated and in Alberta, in addition to legal issues, procedural issues–both systemic and jurisdictional–have long frustrated efforts to resolve cases. Some family law problems, such as divorce, spousal support, and child support, are matters of federal jurisdiction, governed by the laws of Canada. Others, such as the division of matrimonial property and custody or access orders in non-divorce or common-law situations, are said to be matters of local and provincial concern and are governed by provincial laws. While legislative jurisdiction is a topic that does not really interest anyone other than lawyers, it is something that, in Alberta at least, has confused and frustrated members of the public, since it determines which court deals with which issues. As a rule, matters arising from federal statutes must be dealt with in courts of superior jurisdiction–in Alberta, this is the Court of Queens Bench–while matters arising from provincial legislation are generally, but not exclusively, matters for the lower level provincial courts. For years, the public has had difficulty determining which court is the appropriate court for a particular problem. In addition, there has been significant concern in the past over jurisdictional abuses, including forum shopping and the unnecessary duplication of proceedings in both levels of court. Sometimes this occurs at the initiative of lawyers themselves, but it is also common on the express instruction of clients. Clients unhappy with a lower court decision may want a second kick at the can in the higher level court. Applying for the same or similar relief in a higher level court is a de facto appeal of the lower level decision, without meeting the formal requirements for an appeal in law. While members of the Alberta judiciary frown on it, whether at the behest of lawyers or clients, such conduct has been frustrating to contend with over the years.

How does it work? Lets compare it with a typical scenario. Mom and Dad are getting a divorce, and they cant agree on anything. Each of them goes to a lawyer to find out what their rights and obligations are. First, the lawyers explain the law, and then send them to mediation to see what they can settle. Mediation is unsuccessful, and the parents go back to the lawyers. Second, the lawyers try negotiating between themselves, but still cant resolve the issues. So, the lawyers launch into the third stage — the litigation process. They hold examinations for discovery and may bring interim court applications. Both sides may hire experts to support their positions. They line up the witnesses, and everyone heads down to the courthouse. There, a judge hears about the family for a few hours or a few days, and makes a decision everyone has to live with for the rest of their lives. The litigation process is expensive, time-consuming, and emotionally draining, with no guarantee that either party will be happy with the outcome. In CFL, the process stops short of the litigation stage — both parties and their lawyers sign a written contract confirming that none of them will go to court under any circumstances. They must negotiate their own settlement. Instead of using their resources to do battle against one another, they jointly hire a team of experts to help them solve their problems. Mom and Dad may meet with a therapist to help them put aside the emotional issues of the divorce. The therapist may work on improving their communication skills so that meetings are more productive. Mom and Dad may also hire a child specialist to identify their childrens needs, and help them build a parenting plan that meets those needs. Mom and Dad both agree to make full financial disclosure, and they may hire a financial planner to help them sort out the dollars and cents of their divorce. The financial planner might present budget alternatives, or present a range of financial planning alternatives. All these experts are neutral third parties and do not favour one side over the other. The lawyers serve several functions in the CFL process. They must make sure each client sticks to the contract and negotiates in good faith. For example, if one learns that his/her client is withholding information, he or she must advise the other side that the process is at an end (to preserve solicitor-client privilege, they reveal no details of the problem). The lawyers also supervise the process, and coordinate the joint hiring of the third party experts. They set the agenda for the four-way meetings with the other party. They familiarize themselves with their own clients needs and fears, and give him or her independent legal advice. When the process is successful, they write up the terms of the negotiated settlement.

Wacker-Chemie GmbH presented innovative products and applications for technical textiles under the slogan “Take Advantage of Your Good Connections” at Techtextil 2003 in Frankfurt. The main focus was on the newly developed silicone adhesive “Elastosil R 4001/40″, the cyclodextrin grades “Cavasol” and “Cavamax” and new “Vinnex” binder systems. “Cavasol” and “Cavamax” are effective in all leather and textiles, including nonwovens. Among the current applications presented at Techtextil were sportswear, shoes and tent fabrics. Wacker Silicones also showcased a new adhesive tape made of “Elastosil R 4001/40″. In seconds, the tape thermally bonds siliconized fabrics producing seams that are precise and extremely strong. “Elastosil R 4001/40″ can bond not only architectural textile membranes, but also conveyor belts and thermal protection materials, among other applications.
Developing secondary space can benefit retailers selling small electrics and other feature-driven items as well as vendors. Ken OBrien, director of home merchandising at QVC, said the range of products it can present both in broadcast and on its Web site, and the various methods it has to present product information–even streaming demonstrations online–provide an edge. The reason we can do that is we can explain the features and benefits and why you would want to have an Oreck. We tend to sell the product in practical ways that will impress the customer, not lifting cars with the suction of a vacuum. We demonstrate practical solutions that are beneficial to the customer.

By Amy Bauer The Joint Economic Development Organization board on Wednesday authorized moving $210,000 from Go Topekas incentive fund to establish a new loan program for small, minority- and women-owned businesses called the First Connection Opportunity Fund. “At this point, these are not to be grants, they are to be paid back, low interest rate loans,” said Doug Kinsinger, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce and Go Topeka.
The remaining 1,872 banks added 16 percent more to reserves. Loans on which payments are more than 90 days overdue rose 18 percent in the quarter. Those statistics include trust and credit card banks. Analysts said the decision to set aside less money reflects the optimism of some bank executives about loan quality.
With help from the U.S. Small Business Administration, Community Capital Resources (CCR) is on track to issue more microloans in 2007 than ever before. Earlier this year, CCR was designated the Small Business Administrations (SBA) micro-lender for Westchester, giving it access to an additional $3 million in federal money for its loan pool. “This has allowed us to significantly increase the number of loans we make to low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs and to raise our loan cap,” said Melanie Stern, micro-finance manager for CCR.

The Apartment Association of La Crosse Area Inc. has unanimously passed an alternative to the proposed rental inspection/ licensing ordinance.The proposal calls for the inspection of “owner-occupied dwellings” - which includes single-family homes - as well as rentals.”To me there is a difference between what someone does in their home that they own and what a landlord does in a property (where) he is taking money to provide a place that is clean and safe,” said La Crosse Common Council member Charles Clemence, committee chairman. “If you make your own wine at home, thats one thing. If you make it for sale, there are other rules. If youre doing something as a business, thats different than doing for yourself.”
