Danielson, CT – Marcia Lynn (Guatieri) Duval, 53, passed away on Tuesday, January 5th. A beautiful and genuine soul, Marcia was a nurturing, compassionate, and loyal wife, mother, nonnagram, daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and friend. She leaves her eternal soulmate, Emile J. Duval. Born in Pawtucket, RI she was the daughter of the late Marius and Dolores (Welsh) Guatieri and the daughter-in-law of Theresa Duval and the late Eugene Duval.
“My family means everything to me. Loving them. Nothing in my life has ever meant more to me than my family. We made a beautiful life. Our daughters are our joy. We love them more than words can say.” This fully embodied the devotion and passion she had for being a mother.
After raising her daughters, she went on to graduate from Brown University and furthered her education by earning her Master’s Degree in Education and Child and Family Studies at Wheelock College.
She was vibrant spirit whose purpose in life was guiding and educating others. She had a contagious and goofy sense of humor, and was an inspiration to all those who met her. She was a talented singer who loved music and dancing. She held the welfare of children close to her heart.
Marcia is survived by her three daughters Amanda Coutu, Samantha Duval, and Audra Duval; her son-in-law, Steven Coutu, whom she embraced as her own son; and her grandson, Caden Cavallaro, nonnagram’s “sweet boy”. She was the sister of Linda (Anthony) Cipriano, Marty Guatieri, Gail Guatieri, the late Loren Guatieri, Lucille (Kenneth) Wood, Jeanine (Timothy) Spikes, Marie Duval, Ann (Thomas) Marshall, and Denise Duval. She was the loving aunt to seventeen nieces and nephews and thirteen great nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are invited to a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, January 16th at 11:30 AM in St. Mary’s Church, 103 Pine Street, Pawtucket, RI 02860.

Through all the years I always remember when the kids were small. It was her birthday New Years Day yet selflessly on New Years Eve it was all about the kids with a party at Auntie Marcia’s house. At the strike of midnight it was time to conga. Always to Gloria Estefan. Here comes the line through every room led by Marcia with every kids hanging on. That song never played again after that without picturing Marcia laughing with her arms up in the air.
I am so sorry for your loss, I pray you get thru this with the heartwarming memories of love. Prayers an love to you all.

Marcia was the best friend I have ever had. When we met we clicked and that was it. She enjoyed life thoroughly and loved to laugh. When I was feeling down, she knew how to make me smile, and funny, I could do the same for her: just two silly ladies being silly girls! I WILL MISS HER TERRIBLY, but never forget her. Our families and lives will forever be meshed together. I am so sorry, for our loss.
To the Duval family, We were saddened to hear of Marcias passing. We had the pleasure of having her be part of our theatre family at the little theater during our love song cabaret and Christmas cabaret. She had such a wonderful voice. She will be missed by her theatre family.
No words can express the sadness felt at this difficult time. Please know we are thinking of the entire family and praying for each of you and your healing. Marcia will live on in each of your hearts.
you were the light in Marcia’s life!
honor to have Marcia in my life and have her as a friend.
accomplishment was you, her family.
rather than in person with a comforting hug.
Dear Duval Family, I am filled with sadness. Our prayers go out to your family from ours – may your memories fill your heart at this time and may you find comfort in them.

So sorry to learn of your sisters passing. May she rest in peace. May GOD bless you all..
So saddened by this news! I may not have met any of Marcia’s family, but through grad school and keeping in touch on Facebook from time to time, I knew that you were all her world! She would give her shirt off her back to anyone in need and her family always came first!! She was always willing to help anyone through any situation big or small. She loved her daughters and last we spoke she was getting ready to be a grandmother! She was so excited. The world will not be the same without her generosity.
Emile and Family I cannot express enough my deepest sympathies for all of you. May you find peace in her memories.

Howdy, y'all! We've reached the final week of our Kickstarter. It's been a heck of a ride, but it's been a lot of fun! So we wrote up a message for our backers, and summed up a bunch of our recent social media postings.
The Ambrosia Kickstarter launches 22 March 2018!
Ambrosia has been in development since 2014 as a small side project. Last year, we self-funded our first full-time developer, and the game has grown leaps and bounds. We can now see the finish line and are ready to bring this game to the world!
We are looking to raise funds to finish out asset creation: art and music. Ambrosia's unique look and fun art style is a key part of the experience, and we want to deliver the highest quality to our players! The ability to pay our artists and musician full-time to work for us will be critical to complete the game in a timely manner. Without quick, rapid funding, we are always in danger of losing access to our freelancers as other projects come up for them.
Additionally, we would like to port the game from PC to Sony's platforms, and that will come with its own costs and challenges. The funding here will let us do that too!
We are committed to completing Ambrosia and putting this game in the hands of our fans, regardless. But we believe funding at this time will allow us to deliver, completely.
Allow me to introduce you to our new video game.
It's called Ambrosia, and it's about an engineer named Iris who travels to a distant island to search for her missing friend. In the process, she grapples with an army of strange and wonderful robots, exotic creatures, and a few other surprises. To overcome these challenges, she will need to uncover powerful tools to traverse the island and utilize an array of weaponry to challenge her foes.
"I get that," you say. "But what does that mean?"

text: Wind turbine aerodynamics presents unique challenges as it combines extremely high Reynolds numbers with additional time scales imposed by the rotation. This implies that resolved numerical solutions are too computationally expensive and investigations in conventional wind tunnels are impossible due to the flow speeds and rotational rates needed in order to satisfy the dynamic similarity requirements. Most of the previous studies at high Reynolds numbers are either performed in the field, or in extremely large wind tunnels. At Princeton, we simulate the conditions a large wind turbine experiences by compressing the air around it. By using a wind tunnel with pressurized air at up to 238 bar, we study both steady and unsteady 2D airfoil performance as well as rotating 3D vertical and horizontal axis rotors. This allows us to investigate the rotating systems as well as evaluate modeling approaches, as they often rely on 2D data as input. A model wind turbine setup has been developed that allows—for the first time—well-controlled laboratory tests of their performance and wake dynamics, at dynamic similarity to the field scale machines. The effect of Reynolds number on the performance of wind turbines is characterized and compared to field measurements and it is shown that the machine reaches a Reynolds number invariant state above a critical Reynolds number. We also find that the conventional modeling approaches for vertical axis rotors can be significantly improved by incorporating a new model for the drag on porous plates.

Ford’s Everest is brand’s large seven-seat SUV with Truck’s DNA which guarantees extraordinary capability while driving off-road or towing but it also drives well on road and comes with the modern technology and refined interior. The powerful and efficient diesel engine combined with the Ranger truck-based underpinning and 4WD will beat all kind of terrains and obstacles while you will enjoy in model’s comfortable cabin. Ford redesigned this model for its third generation in 2015. The newest generation was imagined in Australia while model’s production is based in Thailand. Ford won’t make radical changes to the forthcoming 2018 Ford Everest and we can expect some tech updates and equipment shuffling.
Ford claims that the Everest is one of its most capable SUVs ever and its real capability can also be recognized from its tough exterior look. This high-riding machine has the robust front end and sculpted profile which hide Ford Ranger’s rugged chassis beneath. The inverted trapezoidal grille situated between modern headlights adds to its strong presence together with the massive front bumper. The model also has skid plate that protrudes up front and matched with 225 mm of ground clearance it guarantees safer off-roading.
The model also has nicely sculpted fenders and rear bumper also fitted with the skid plate. The upright tailgate comes adorned with the horizontal strip which connects taillights and has stamped model’s name.
Inside the cabin, the 2018 Ford Everest is comfortable and well sound isolated from the outside. Each passenger will feel comfortable and they will have more than 30 storage places for their goodies. If the cargo capacity is the priority behind the front seats the model will offer up to 2, 010 liters of the cargo space.
With the high-level comfort, the model will also keep you connected and will also offer plenty of convenience features providing also the excellent safety for its passengers. The Everest will boast Ford’s Sync3 infotainment system with enhanced voice control. The system supports Android Auto and Apple Car Play integration and comes with the 8-inch touchscreen. The model will also feature active noise cancellation, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, power sunroof, power, heated and leather accentuated seats and much more.
For the safer and easier driving the model will also employ some of the advanced safety systems including lane departure warning, lane keep assist, park assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, tire pressure monitoring, etc.
Powering the 2018 Ford Everest will be a 3.2-liter TDCi Duratorq Diesel engine. This five-cylinder engine can deliver 143 kW of raw power at 3, 000 rpm and torque of 470 Nm between 1750-2500 rpm. Ford will likely match this engine with the six-speed auto transmission but transmission with more gears is also possible.
The engine will deliver great performance and fuel efficiency either with the rear- or all-wheel drive. The fuel economy on the combined cycle will be around 8.5 liters/100 km while model will allow up to 3000 kg of towing capacity. For the unlimited off-raoding the system can split torque between front and rear wheels depending on the traction and even all power can be sent to a single wheel if it only has traction.
With the price close to the current range, the new 2018 Ford Everest should arrive late this year or early next.

The world is exceedingly familiar with Pasta, the staple food of Italy. The neutral taste of Pasta that is customizable with a variety of sauces, vegetables, meat and seafood, according to one’s liking and taste, is what has made it a favourite of many, regardless of the difference in food cultures. It is also a versatile food that can be served either as a salad, appetizer, main course or even as a dessert.
Pasta comes in an array of different shapes and sizes that could be used for making a variety of pasta dishes. There are more than 600 different pasta types available for selection. Macaroni, Fettuccine, Rigatoni, Shells, Spaghetti etc. are some of the most popular names of pasta that are used for cooking. The sauces used are also different for each variety.
Pasta could be either dry or fresh, depending on whether it is store-bought or freshly rolled out and handmade. Fresh pasta is made from the dough of flour and eggs, while dried pasta is made from fine semolina flour and water, and then dried under very low temperature for several days to make sure all the moisture is evaporated to increase its shelf life.
When it comes to pasta there is no such thing as one is better than the other. Both the dried and fresh ones hold their own substance. Fresh pasta is very tender in texture and takes only about half the time of dry pasta to get cooked. It goes well with delicate cream based sauces, dishes with stuffing like ravioli or tortellini, where the other flavours do not overpower the tender and fresh taste of the pasta.
On the other hand, dried pasta has a firm structure as compared to the fresh one. It is best suited for casseroles, soups, salads etc. and is used with strong sauces like Marinara or Puttanesca, as it holds its form well with other ingredients and the pasta by itself does not have any flavour of its own.
In the market, you will find all kinds of dried pasta on the shelves ranging from high quality to the cheaper ones. Make sure you buy one from a good brand with ingredients not more than flour, water and salt listed on it. There are many brands which come with preservatives that can be avoided if chosen with a little care. Pasta is traditionally made of wheat flour, but nowadays, gluten-free varieties are also available for the health conscious people and for those with allergies.
In whichever way you choose to have your pasta dished out, humdrum and monotonous are words that can never be used to serve up your plate!

A useful consultant to the artwork and brain of Virginia Woolf, drawn by way of her husband from the private checklist she saved over a interval of twenty-seven years. incorporated are entries that seek advice from her personal writing, others which are in actual fact writing workouts; money owed of individuals and scenes correct to the uncooked fabric of her paintings; and reviews on books she was once analyzing. Edited and with a Preface via Leonard Woolf; Indices.
With Michel Foucault, Reaktion Books introduces an exhilarating new sequence that brings the paintings of significant highbrow figures to common readers, illuminating their groundbreaking rules via concise biographies and cogent readings.
there's no larger philosopher than Foucault with which to start the "Critical Lives" sequence. even though reticent approximately his own lifestyles for many of his occupation, Foucault, within the final years of his lifestyles, replaced his stance at the courting among the private and the highbrow and commenced to talk of an "aesthetics of existence" within which "the life" and "the work" develop into one. David Macey, a well known professional on Foucault, demonstrates that those contradictions give the opportunity to narrate Foucault's paintings to his lifestyles in an unique and interesting means. Exploring the advanced highbrow and political global within which Foucault lived and labored, and the way that global is mirrored in his seminal works, Macey paints a portrait of Foucault during which the philosopher emerges as an excellent strategist, one who-while fiercely selling himself as a maverick-aligned himself with specific highbrow camps at exactly the correct moments.

Strings connected is a strong memoir approximately resilience within the face of unspeakable tragedy, an inspiring and poignant story of the way one guy reworked his personal heartache right into a legacy of pleasure for his students.
His scholars knew Jerry Kupchynsky as "Mr. K"-the fierce Ukrainian-born track instructor who rehearsed them until eventually their palms virtually bled and who made them greater than they ever anticipated to be. clear of the school room, although, existence appeared to conspire opposed to him at each flip. Strings connected takes you on his awesome trip, from his early life at the run in Nazi Germany, to his existence in the USA taking good care of his disabled spouse whereas elevating their small daughters, to his look for his cherished more youthful daughter after she mysteriously disappeared-a seek that will final for seven years.
His unforgettable tale is lyrically informed in alternating chapters by way of adolescence acquaintances who reconnected a long time later: Melanie Kupchynsky, his daughter, and Joanne Lipman, a former pupil. Heartbreaking but finally positive, Strings hooked up is a testomony to the spectacular strength of hope-and a party of the profound impression one individual may have at the lives of others.
Neil younger has been defined as wonderful, cantankerous, enigmatic, and vexing. Regardless, his generation-spanning fan base and his profound musical impression can't be denied. whereas a few narrative titles have chronicled Neil younger in a single demeanour or one other, this can be the 1st illustrated background to span his forty-one studio albums, 6 stay releases, and 40-plus years as a recording and traveling musician.
She suffered a nervous breakdown, and while she was recovering he began to pay her visits, giving her piano lessons; almost inevitably he fell in love with her. But once again, as with Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, she was of a higher social rank than he, and although she enjoyed his company, she wanted nothing more. Beethoven’s love was at its most intense during the winter of 1804–5, and in a letter she wrote from Budapest in 1806 she asked him to love her less seriously. It had ended by the end of 1807, after which she left Vienna permanently.
He was decorated with the freedom of the city of Vienna in 1815 and continued to turn out second-rate patriotic pieces during that year, including the Namensfeier overture, op. 115, in March in honour of the Emperor’s birthday, and ‘Es ist vollbracht’, WoO 97, for bass, chorus and orchestra, inspired by the Battle of Waterloo, and performed several times in July 1815. After this, life in Vienna returned to normal, and public enthusiasm for these works – and Beethoven’s for writing them – declined.
But very shortly after the signing of his financial agreement with the three nobles, the political situation took a turn for the worse and on 9 April 1809 Austria declared war on France. Despite his enthusiasm as a young man for the ideals of the French Revolution, and his lingering admiration for Napoleon, by 1809 Beethoven had become totally opposed to Napoleon and all that he stood for, and watched the triumphant progress of Napoleon’s armies through Europe with horror. On 4 May, as the French forces approached the outskirts of Vienna, the Emperor’s wife and family, accompanied by Archduke Rudolph, left Vienna, and by 10 May the city was surrounded.

Car safety is not single way, it is also what the car does to others, which has not changed. Also humans have not changed, we still have same limitations, which might have got actually worse because people rely on those "safety" gizmos. They think they can drive faster, when they can't. Laws of physics are hard to dismiss, car is still heavy mass moving at high speed, they don't really stop much faster no matter what you do to suspension, tires or brakes. Just slight fender bender with a cyclist is bad for that cyclist. Car that is hardly even moving can kill a pedestrian.
The fact that car can go faster doesn't mean it should go faster.
There are places where speed-limits are set too low, I agree, but that doesn't mean that they are set too low everywhere. Sometimes the reason why some place has lower speed limit is not always obvious, maybe there is a crossroads blind spot behind next hillock, maybe there are small children getting in or out of school at this straight as an arrow road section, things like that.

Since Bryan was on a roll from last week, it only makes sense that he continue his blog series about his first Android app - this time, with even more Picasso.
Welcome to Part Two of Android Adventures! Last time, we threw together a simple Android application – used RetroFit to pull data from GitHub’s public repositories and display some of that data in a TextView.
Today, we’re going to be upgrading our application interface (if you can call it that… maybe just ‘face’) from Basic to positively Rudimentary.
my favourite member of O-Zone is Arsenie Todiras).
Just like in Part One, we just need to add a line into our Gradle script in order to use the library.
If you’ve been following along, you should have four classes in your application – the GitApi class, the GitModel class, the Owner class, and the MainActivity class. You should also have an XML layout file (activity_main) in your resources folder.
You may have noticed we’ve kept our TextView from before - that’s okay! We’ll use it to display error messages for us in case things get kookier than usual.
Each List item will have an ImageView and two TextViews, but you can always add or remove elements at your leisure.
For each repository we get from our JSON request, we’re going to display the name, ID, and avatar_url (the URL pointing to the avatar of the repository’s owner). If you’re wondering what we’re putting into our ImageView, I’m glad you asked (just remember who’s calling the shots around here) - we’ll be using that excellent open-source library, Picasso (named after professional Uruguayan medley swimmer, Francisco Picasso), to download and cache these avatar images and display them in our ListView.
So, we’ve got a ListView and a layout for the items with which we’re going to fill it. What now?
We’re going to use an Adapter to inflate (or render) a view for each of the repositories from our request. I called mine ListViewAdapter.
Don’t worry if this doesn’t make sense right now - we’ll go over it piece by piece.
Our ListViewAdapter constructor takes two arguments - an inflater and an ArrayList of GitModels. In order to implement our custom adapter, we also need to override four methods, getCount(), getItem(), getItemId, and finally getView.
Briefly, the getCount method returns the number of items, which is set to the size() of your ArrayList. The getItem() and getItemId() methods returns an item given an ID and the ID of the current item, respectively.
Before we get into the really juicy stuff, let’s talk briefly about the ViewHolder class. We use a little bit of ButterKnife magic to instantiate a view in its constructor. We’re going to be using this class in the getView() method.
Our getView() method creates ViewHolder objects – but here is where we implement some best (or at least better) practices! In my first implementation, I instantiated a new ViewHolder every time the getView() method was called, which is a big no no - every time you’d scroll up or down, the application would have to re-load everything. This way (below), new ViewHolders are only instantiated if a corresponding View doesn’t already exist.
Now, in our getView() class, we want to set the information that is to be displayed in each of the Views within our List elements (remember, an ImageView and two TextViews). You probably recognize how we’re setting our TextViews, but our ImageView is where we finally get to use Picasso! Picasso downloads, caches, and places our image in the appropriate List element - and it’s where we use our avatar_url!
Finally, we put in some setters so we can change the attributes of our Adapter, which is especially important for our gitModelList, as well as a clear() method that we use to clear out our ArrayList before setting it to a new one. Note that we don’t have a setter for our inflater - this is because we won’t ever need to change it!
The clearGitmodel() method is relatively straightforward, but the setGitmodel is the important one. We clear our ArrayList\<> before setting the new List, then we use the notifyDataSetChanged() method to ‘tell’ our ListView it’s time to update itself.
Finally, for our MainActivity, if you’ve got our code from Part One, we only need to make a few small tweaks.
An inflater, placeholder List, our ListViewAdapter, and a ButterKnife @Bind for our ListView element.
In my first implementation, I created a new Adapter each time we called the success() method, essentially recreating our entire ListView on every successful HTTP request (I’m in love with the no-nos - I got it for the low-lows). By initializing our Adapter in onCreate(), we only need to have a single line in our success() method!
We’ve replaced our ugly TextView with a slightly-less-ugly ListView! We also got some familiarity with Picasso - if you’d like, you can try to load images into the ImageView using more traditional methods and see just how well Picasso (named after the Picasso Triggerfish, a triggerfish found in the reefs of the Indo-Pacific region) streamlines image handling.
Next week, we’ll finish off this project by adding some interactivity to our List! So hold onto your seats and hopefully I’ll be seeing you in Part Three: Enter the Dragon.

1stGig | What is a good way to describe my attributes with a narrative?
Previous posts on this blog talked about the Attributes section of your 1st Gig profile and how you can select the ones that best suit you. This post is going to focus on how you can describe those attributes to your advantage.
When you create your profile, you have the opportunity to describe real-life examples that demonstrate how the attributes apply to you. While the examples are not required, they help employers understand why you’ve chosen those attributes and may help them get to know you better.
However, for many people, any kind of writing task is challenging, and this task carries with it the added burden of asking you to write something about yourself. If your parents were like mine, your childhood involved lessons about how rude it is to brag, so for most of us it is especially difficult to say that we’re good at something. Thus, writing about your attributes can easily come across as arrogant (one extreme) or overly modest (the other extreme), neither of which is productive.
So how do you approach this task? One way that works well is to think of the acronym STAR, which stands for Situation or Task, Action, Result. Start your example by describing a specific situation you were involved in or task that you were asked to complete, then describe the action or actions that you took, and, finally, describe the result of your action. Each example only needs to be two or three sentences long. I’ll give you a few examples from one student’s profile so you can see how this might work.
Adam Marks wanted to describe himself as A Quick Study, A Self Starter, and Careful (among other things).
Note: When you write your examples, do not include the words presented in brackets ([ ]) in the examples!
A Quick Study: [Situation] Last semester I had an internship at a social media company where I was asked to work in RoboHelp, which I had never used before. [Action] I found two instructional videos online that allowed me to get started without any additional assistance from my supervisor. [Results] The content I produced was published to the company site with minimal revision.
Careful: [Task] At one of my internships, I was responsible for producing content for the company newsletter, which was sent to thousands of employees and customers. [Action] I worked hard to ensure that my writing was accurate and grammatically correct so that I presented the company well, and [Result] no one has ever found a single error because I proofread so carefully.

Human exceptionalism undoubtedly frames paleoartistic representations of the past three hundred years that depict the deep past of nonhuman animal life and death. But the fate of the human, as Jean Baudrillard would later proclaim before the turn of the century, is always trapped between “its fossils and its clones.”[iii] Across the page, the canvas, and the screen, the dinosaur is a subject that appears in an increasing range of endlessly replicating mediations that extend well into the territory of digital animalities, a field of visual animal images produced through new media and digital technologies.
In the work of Canadian scientific illustrator Julius Csotonyi, for instance, the dinosaur (along with paleo-botanicals and other ancient species) is digitally mediated to produce animate renderings of prehistoric life. Csotonyi’s interactive murals of extinct species engage human bodies in order to “enflesh” the fossil, bringing it forward in space and time in order to perform in a corporeal play with museum spectators. Through techniques of mirroring, shadowing, and motion-activated animation, these 3D murals explore the mutability of skin and screen, in turn bringing the seemingly immeasurable, distant, and coldly reserved deep time of the fossil into a proximate and reciprocal engagement with human life.
Featuring five of Csotonyi’s large murals of prehistoric flora and fauna and seventeen vignette illustrations, the exhibit “Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana” was presented at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada and the Hall of Paleontology at the Houston Museum of Natural Science (along with a number of other museums across North America) in 2012 and 2013. This installation was preceded by an impressive number of digital paintings by Csotonyi, appearing in prestigious publications and venues such as National Geographic and the Royal Tyrell Museum, as well as in more popular public forums, such as in the form of coins for the Royal Canadian Mint. However, “Ultimate Dinosaurs” was among the first of its kind to include paleoartistic renderings in a multi-media platform. Rotatable digital tablets and reactive wall displays served as the highlight of the exhibit, which presented viewers with “enfleshed fossils” that were dynamically projected onto walls in the museum or through the cameraphones of the museum-goers.
In grappling with this problem of the fossil, and in taking a moment to reflect upon the ever-growing archive of digitally animated images and installations of prehistoric life in the present era, we might inquire: in which ways, and to what purpose, are “skin” and “screen” brought into proximity in Csotonyi’s work? How are today’s digital technologies at play in the representation of extinct species, but also in what Jussi Parikka calls “chronoscapes”[ix], a term that arguably intersects with the field of digital animalities and media archaeologies? In situating Csotonyi’s work at the junction of these two fields, we might note how past and future environments and landscapes are imagined and represented through multimedia technologies, and by extension, how these representations perform a particular understanding of human-animal relationships, spaces, and temporalities.
As we consider the enfolding of fossil and flesh in “Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants of Gondwana,” I would suggest that Csotonyi’s fleshly animations of prehistoric animals reflect what W.J.T. Mitchell calls the “paleontology of the screen” - a visual apparatus that works back through a whole range of optical technologies to represent the deep time of planetary history. This term, which Mitchell outlines in his theory of Iconology and in The Last Dinosaur Book, emerges from the meaning accrued by the “screen” in philosophy. Gesturing back to Plato’s allegory of the cave, Mitchell argues that the screen, like the allegory of the cave, is not the totality of the world itself, but merely a part of it: it is a metonymic figure that stands in for the whole of nature, a doubled surface for image-making and image-perception, and a metaphor for nature's own screening processes, whereby living things are "doubly articulated as visible, physical bodies (the phenotype) and as bearers of invisible codes of replication and variation (the genotype)." What Mitchell imagines here in the optical technologies and speculative philosophies referenced by the “paleontology of the screen” could easily be expanded to include a “paleontology of the skin.” Like the screen, skin is a figure that stands in for the whole of a body; it is a surface for image-making and image-perception, and it is the space within which biological organisms express their phenotype, which is shaped by the invisible codes of their genotype.
By utilizing the doubled potential of the skin and screen, Csotonyi’s exhibit adds a new dimension to the conventions of visual representations of prehistoric animal life. Like the filming of Jurassic Park, which largely imagines enfleshed fossils as a threat to humans, the enfleshed fossils of “Ultimate Dinosaurs” maintain this vision of the past but with the reassurance that any living thing can always be safely reproduced as a “clone” or digital copy. The “Ultimate Dinosaurs” exhibit utilizes a number of the well-trodden conventions of natural scientific display: it flattens dinosaur bodies onto wall murals, and it juxtaposes the shadowy figures of skeletal remains with images (normally static two-dimensional images) of dinosaurs in life. Yet the motion-activated animations function to bring the deep time of the fossil into proximity with humans, wherein digital technologies optimize a rendering of the deep past that ostensibly extends into an uncertain future. True to Baudrillard’s observation about fossils and clones, these installations also gesture to the human’s surmised demise in order to excite, and placate, our fears of extinction in the precarious epoch of the Anthropocene.
Thinking through the meaning of Csotonyi’s enfleshed fossils, I invite us to consider whether or not exhibits like these can address the imminent threat of a sixth mass extinction, and in what ways human exceptionalism works to shape prehistoric digital animalities in the wake of the Anthropocene. To respond to these inquiries, we could think about the use of mirroring, shadowing, and motion-activated animation in relationship to the process of cognitive evolution. To make this claim, I want to draw a loose comparison here between the technologically mediated forms of representation in Csotonyi’s work with paleolithic cave art. I would suggest that the representation of extinct species in museums today tells us just as much about our neuro-visual pathways and systems of response to animals and environments, which have been in a state of creation and adaptation over the course of our history as a species.
Through this reference to models and projections of dinosaurs, we might take Baudrillard’s insights as a starting point to think more deeply about the meaning that the paleontology of the screen has accrued in provenance. This isn’t only about origins and the authenticity of evolutionary beginnings, but about the future of life itself on earth. By enfleshing fossils in “Ultimate Dinosaurs,” Csotonyi’s exhibit utilizes digital technologies to pursue something primal, something authentically “human” in us (whatever that means), but also to grapple with our own desire to replicate and reanimate a version of the human in an era where extinction is the norm, rather than the exception.
As I have argued elsewhere, this multi-layered aspect of Csotonyi’s work appears in other examples of his hyperrealistic digital paintings, which emphasize the importance of representing “anteriority” (an understanding of the animal that precedes us in deep time).[xii] Csotonyi’s “immersive vision” - as exemplified by this digital painting, “Troodon’s Gaze” - carefully composes an image of the paleontological object that tests, and even embraces, the limits of what is possible to validate through human perception. By utilizing immersive and embedded perspectives, indiscernible foregrounds, shifting frames, and expansive scales, Csotonyi’s digital paintings foreground the problem of representing life that existed before the emergence of the human. As I have argued, this problem of anteriority is not just a problem for paleoartists, but also presents a compelling set of questions for speculative philosophers like Quentin Meillassoux and Timothy Morton, who are part of a renewed discussion on the potential for nonanthropocentric modes and methods of engagement with evolutionary history.
Beyond this engagement with the skin/screen and with the philosophical problem of anteriority, what I think Csotonyi’s work has to offer the burgeoning field of the digital animalities is an alternative sense of the human’s relationship to the past, present, and future of extinction. There is a way in which a visit to see “Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants of Gondwana” is about gaining this proximity to long-dead things through the lens of digital (re)animations. But because the digital exhibit itself relies upon some of the same key characteristics of paleolithic cave art, I propose that we think about how such representations of digital animalities trace the same neuro-visual pathways that are founded upon a sense of “our” own survival as a species, and “our” ability (again, whatever that means in our critique of human exceptionalism) to recreate and reanimate the things that terrify us into the placid surface image of the paleontological screen. Csotonyi’s interactive murals explore the tension between the proximate and imminent engagement with long dead species that come to life under our fingertips, in the space between fossil and clone, skin and screen, digital and animal.

Probably because of the ubiquity of its use in common parlance as an adjective describing media and technologies, the term digital now rarely carries the sense of “a number less than ten”, which has its root in the Latin digitalis, “measuring a finger’s breadth”, or more generally “of or relating to the finger”. But as technologies based on the manipulation of numerical digits, whose use often (but of course not exclusively) relies on the articulation of physical digits, we should not overlook the connections between omnipresent digital technologies such as phones, personal computers, tablets, gaming consoles and the like, and hands.
Hands, those most humanist of human appendages: anthropocentric thought has so often been swept up in what Stanley Cavell has called “the romance of the apposable thumb”.
In her blog post, Nicole Shukin explores the legacy of Heidegger’s thought for thinking about digital animalities. And it is there, too, as Jacques Derrida and after him Cary Wolfe, Matthew Calarco, Steve Baker and others have explored, that we find the most dogmatic assertions about the hand as a distinguishing feature of the human: “man does not ‘have’ hands, but the hand holds the essence of man, because the word as the essential realm of the hand is the ground of the essence of man” (qtd in CIFERAE, p. 15). The distinction is between a kind of purely anatomical “having” of hands and an existential being grounded in the hand as such; this, in turn, is thought to separate the human from the animal—as Heidegger notoriously puts it: “the ape, for example, possesses organs for grasping but it has no hand”.
This all goes to suggest that there is a quiet but important assertion in the title of our collective research project—with its unabashedly catachrestic alignment of digitality with animality—and so also its blunt refusal to accept the humanist terms of binary separation (which is of course another crucial facet of the digital).
In 1970, MIT’s Architecture Machine Group, led by Nicholas Negroponte (later co-founder of Wired magazine and enthusiast for the “digital revolution”) produced an exhibit called Seek. This was shown at the Software exhibition curated by Jack Burnham at the Jewish Museum in New York.
Seek involved an arrangement of small metal-coated blocks in piles inside a plexiglass vitrine. Also trapped inside the box were four gerbils, whose job was to move the blocks (as is gerbils’ wont). We could call this “rearranging” the blocks, but that would go against the logic of Seek: it also included a computer-controlled system involving a robotic arm which was programmed to pick up and rearrange the blocks into the original configuration after the gerbils moved them; the conceptual assumption was that the gerbils would only be putting the blocks into disarray, not arranging them to their own requirements.
As an artwork, then, Seek dramatises a dualistic conflict between information-systematic order and chaotic life. In it, the computer-programmed robot is on one side and the gerbils (assuming the place conventionally allotted to animality in this equation) are on the other.
The point, though, is not quite that the robot technology is aligned with “the human”, so that together they oppose a chaotic animality. For, as the name of Negroponte’s group suggests, Seek is really an allegory of the relationship between the establishment of order in architecture (here, physical as well as information systems architecture) and the unruly impulses, desires and drives of human life. This allegory plays out as a dramatic battle of wills (or rather of will and technological skill versus instinct and chance), with the opposing sides performed by the robotic arm and the gerbils.
In Seek, then, ordinary human life is equated with unruly animality, continually disrupting and destroying the order of the ideally designed system—a system which is in principle machinic. That said, if we take together the thematics of the hand discussed earlier and the importance of the very idea of establishing order for post-Enlightenment notions of the pre-eminence of the human, it is, in a sense, no surprise that, in Seek, systematicity should be epitomised by a robotic arm.
With Seek’s allegory, we are dealing with a mid-twentieth century recapitulation of an age old drama, with two different and equally conventional characterisations of “the human” as its protagonists: the human as exceptional, the intelligent designer par excellence, and the human as animal, with needs and desires that are by definition unruly. In order for that allegory to have any kind of dramatic force, it must deflect us from the more prosaic reality of the exhibit: in which it is a more or less mundane animal experiment, like any other in which the skill an ingenuity of animals—in this case gerbils’ brains and their claws—are physically as well as conceptually manipulated to tell a story not about animals but about humans.
Earlier, we mentioned the philosopheme of the human as the paradigmatic digital species. Gerbils are, by contrast, an unguiculate species: animals that bear one or more claws. We might say, then, that Seek, is an example, not perhaps of the “digital animalities”, but of the “unguiculate humanities”. It tells a story that needs, implicates, and traduces animal life to body forth the most techno-utopian dreams of human futures.
Climate change infuses so many aspects of our lives and changes the way we think about our relations with nonhuman animals. Critics of the media have rightly observed, however, that there has been a massive failure to connect the dots in telling such stories. Here is an example of a dot that fails to connect.
In this story published in Canada's "business" newspaper, people are eating less meat for economic reasons. I selected this one to illustrate my point but it could be n any number of news stories. Perhaps you have seen some you would like to share. The author fails to mention two important subjects concerning why people do or don't eat meat.
1) Animal agriculture is a major contributor to climate change, a connection now widely accepted as fact.
2) People have started to know about the brutal exploitation of animals in the meat industry and this may dissuade many of them from wanting to eat its products.
There are many reasons for people to eat less meat, and not all of them are about money. Some of them are about the future of the planet.
Of course, it's possible that the Globe and Mail's flagship Report on Business knows nothing about these issues. Perhaps these particular journalists have not read any of many news stories or reports that demonstrate that the relationship between animal agriculture and climate change has been known for some time. Here are some of those stories.
There are many articles on this subject displaying quite a variance on the statistical findings. The range of statistics produced to document this connection is unusual and fascinating in itself. This variation is one of the research questions currently being addressed by our Digital Animalities project.
But right now, I'm in flabbergasted mode. All these stories about hurricanes... about glaciers...wildfires out of control....hundreds of species of animals becoming extinct every year.... is there something in the training of journalists in the commercial or mass media that blocks them from acknowledging the links between the stories??
Now would be a good time to start. Talking about animals means talking about climate change. Catastrophes that are killing thousands of people and animals and making their lives unlivable.
Environmental groups need to work together.
"With the creation of Blue Dot, Canada has at least seven networks and 17 groups that claim to be fighting ecological collapse.
"The groups seldom, if ever, work together. In fact, they are just as likely to see other groups as rivals. They don’t tend to share campaigning information. They compete for funding. The bosses protect their own isolated empires."
For those who care about animals, for those who care about media representations of nonhuman life in the age of risk, for this who care about what animals get to live and those that must die, this is urgent. Let's work together to make these journalists and organizations connect the dots!

He died on the cross for the sins of the world and was raised to life to win the victory over the devil and evil in the world. Now He reigns over the world at the right hand of God. He is my personal Savior because he died for my sins, and has secured the victory over evil in my life.
Jesus Christ was both fully God and fully man. We do not understand this mystery, but realize that it was necessary for one without sin to pay the price for those who have sinned. Only God’s Son could live a live without sin.
“Christ had no sin, but God made him become sin so that in Christ we could become right with God” (IICor. 5:21 NCV).
A transgression of God’s law. Living outside of God’s will. Disobedience to the teachings of Scripture and Christ.
Sin breaks our relationship with God. Adam, our forefather, was the first to sin and break his relationship with God. We inherit Adam’s sinful nature and are born inclined to hate God and our neighbor. Scripture teaches that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 6:23). Therefore, everyone is guilty of sin and deserving of God’s punishment on sin. The only way to be relieved of our guilt is to follow Jesus, live for him, put our faith in him, and he will bear the punishment for our guilt on the cross.
Believing in Jesus is the only way to be saved from eternal death, and also from a meaningless life on earth. We are not saved because of anything that we do ourselves, but because what God has done for us in Christ.
It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved.
Grace is best understood as a gift. God acts toward us in a favorable way even though we don’t deserve it. Another way to understand grace is to remember one word for each letter in the word. This way, grace can be defined as God’s Riches At Christ Expense.
There are two sacraments. They are holy signs and seals for us to see. They were instituted by God so that by our use of them he might make us understand more clearly the promise of the gospel, and might put his seal on that promise. And this is God’s gospel promise: to forgive our sins and give us eternal life by grace alone because of Christ’s one sacrifice finished on the cross (Heidelberg Q&A 66).
The two sacraments are, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Becoming a member of the catholic or worldwide church of Christ contains certain privileges and responsibilities.
The privileges include partaking in the Lord’s Supper, and also becoming a part of God’s family and community of believers. This community of believers commits themselves to care for you, pray for you, and grow with you in your knowledge of God. They also vow themselves to encourage you in your faith and hold you accountable to the commitment you make.
of submitting yourself the community and offering your gifts in service to the church and the people of God and the world. God has given gifts to all of his people to be used for the building up of the body of Christ and to spread the good news of life in Jesus Christ.
When you become part of the Christian Reformed Church in North America, you become part of a church that traces its roots back to Pentecost. At Pentecost, God sent his Holy Spirit to the followers of Christ to comfort them, encourage them, and teach them the ways of God.
3. Mankind is justified or made right with God only through faith (Ephesian 2:8-10).
4. God is sovereign. That is, God has created the world and is in control of everything.
Church of Christ called Reformed Churches.
The Heidelberg Catechism which explains the way of salvation and discusses the Apostles Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, and the sacraments.
The first question and answer of the Heidelberg Catechism have been cherished by believers for centuries as a statement of faith.
The Canons of Dordt, which are a defense of the Reformed understanding of the way of salvation.
The Belgic Confession explains what the Reformed churches believed during the 1500’s and still adhere to today.

The first settlement at Port Dover, where the Lynn River empties into Lake Erie, was known as Dover Mills, due to the river’s mills that were a crucial part of the village. On May 14, 1814, roughly 750 Americans landed near the Lynn River during the War of 1812 in what is now known as the Raid on Port Dover. The following day, the troops marched to Dover Mills where they burned the settlement’s houses and mills, and shot the livestock.
Israel Powell started a new settlement at the mouth of the river in 1835, but it wasn’t until a road was opened to Hamilton, that the population increased significantly. The first lighthouse at Port Dover was erected in 1845, but it accidentally burned down on November 5, 1848, forcing the keeper to hoist two globe lamps atop a pole for the remainder of the shipping season.
The first rails reached Port Dover in 1875, when the Port Dover and Lake Huron Railway commenced service between the west side of the harbour at Port Dover and Woodstock, Ontario. Three years later, the Hamilton and Northwestern Railway extended its track to Port Dover, creating a station on the east side of the harbour. In the 1880s, these two railroads were acquired by the Grand Trunk Railway, and operations were consolidated on the west side of the harbour.
For the accommodation of the car ferry boats running all the year round between Port Dover and Conneaut, it was found necessary to establish a second light at Port Dover which, in range with the light on the outer end of the west breakwater pier would lead in to the railway wharf through the best channel. The design adopted for this lighthouse consists of a skeleton steel frame work surmounted by an inclosed wooden lantern, the whole painted red and 45 feet in height from the base to the vane on the lantern. The light, which was put in operation on the 11th June last, is fixed red catoptric, elevated 45 feet above the lake level. The building was erected for the department by Mr. W. H. Noble, foreman of works, who procured the steel work from Messrs. Rice Lewis & Son, Toronto, and had it put together at the Saint Lawrence Foundry, Toronto. The total cost of the building was $386.65. The tower stands on an unused part of one of the streets of the village, and permission was given to the department by the municipality to use the site.
In 1904, the lighthouse on the west pier was taken down so a new and improved tower could be built. While this work was underway, a lens lantern was hoisted atop a temporary pole erected fifty feet lakeward from the lighthouse. The following description of the new lighthouse was published by the Department of Marine in 1905: The tower is an inclosed wooden building, square in plan, with sloping sides, painted white, surmounted by a square iron lantern, painted red. It is 35 feet high from its base to the top of the ventilator on the lantern.
The light is a fixed white dioptric light, of the seventh order, elevated 34 feet above the level of the lake, and visible 11 miles from all points of approach by water. The illuminant is petroleum vapour burned under an incandescent mantle.
This work was done by days' labour under the superintendence of Mr. M. J. Egan, at a cost of $1,155.87.
On July 17, 1916, the rear range light was changed from fixed red to fixed white to make it more conspicuous against its dark background, and in August 1921, the front light was changed from fixed white to fixed red. The range lights were electrified in 1923 and both made fixed red. Their characteristic was changed to green in 1936.
A hand-operated foghorn, used to answer signals from vessels during periods of limited visibility, was established near the outer end of the west pier in 1927. This served until 1940, when a tyfon horn, sounding a blast every twenty seconds, was placed in the front range lighthouse.
The 1905 lighthouse remains active on the west pier, displaying a flashing green light, but the companion rear range light has been discontinued. Mariners can activate a foghorn in the lighthouse by quickly clicking their radio mike five times on channel nineteen. The horn will then stay active for thirty minutes.
Not wanting to lose the iconic lighthouse that serves as a symbol of Port Dover and the county, Norfolk County accepted ownership of Port Dover Lighthouse in 2014, after the Canadian Coast Guard declared the structure surplus. To help clinch the deal, the government provided $25,000 to help offset future maintenance, which, including insurance, is expected to be around $3,000 each year. Port Dover Lighthouse was designated a Recognized Federal Heritage Building in 1990.
Keepers: William Fifield (at least 1849 – 1860), William Carlisle (1863 - ), Henry Morgan (at least 1866 – 1888), Crosbie Morgan (1888 – 1891), John A. Innis (1891 – 1894), Andrew Innis (1894 – 1897), Silas L. Butler (1897 – 1924).

My work always depicts the natural world and I enjoy drawing animals on paper using different mediums and adding as much detail as possible mainly around the eyes. I don’t have a plan when I start a picture, sometimes I will start with a very loose piece with lots of movement using different materials to create a lively piece and I also work on very delicate close picture using pencil and pastel to add detail.
When working in inks I use a printing technique I was taught back at University which involves using different items to print with plastic bags and aprons give a wonderful texture to the work and every print is unique. I want my work to communicate my love for the natural world and how we all play our part in the cycle of life. In the future I want to work using different mediums and materials making my work more textured mixing mediums and giving my work a more textured look and feel but still working on the theme of the natural world.

In response to the persistent and substantial questions about the math of his tax plan not adding up, Mitt Romney and his campaign frequently argue that six independent studies back him up by ratifying the arithmetic of the centerpiece of his domestic agenda.
But the talking point about the talking point is unraveling.More and more mainstream outlets are pointing out that they fail to validate its soundness. And on Sunday Romney senior adviser Ed Gillespie was challenged on Fox News by Chris Wallace, who questioned whether the studies are really nonpartisan.
“These are very credible sources,” Gillespie said.
Feldstein, for instance, concludes that the numbers add up if effective taxes rise on incomes between $100,000 and $200,000, even though Romney has ruled that out. Rosen, for his part, makes the math work by omitting part of the revenue losses and assuming huge economic growth effects from tax reform.
Months ago, Romney’s proposal was called into question by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, which found that even under friendly assumptions, there aren’t enough loopholes in the tax code for incomes above $200,000 to make up for his nearly $5 trillion in tax cuts. In other words, the plan would either force the middle class to pay more or increase the deficit.
The other studies that Romney cites — the two blog posts by AEI and the report by Heritage — question the contours of the TPC paper or posit different revenue baselines. Neither of them comprehensively illustrate how the GOP nominee’s math might add up.


text: Depression frequently accompanies in Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous research suggested that dopamine (DA) and serotonin systems are closely linked with depression in PD. However, comprehensive studies about the relationship between these two neurotransmitter systems are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dopaminergic destruction on the serotonin system. The interconnection between motor and depression was also examined. Two PET scans were performed in the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned and sham operated rats: [(18) F]FP-CIT for DA transporters and [(18) F]Mefway for serotonin 1A (5-HT(1A)) receptors. Here, 6-OHDA is a neurotoxin for dopaminergic neurons. Behavioral tests were used to evaluate the severity of symptoms: rotational number for motor impairment and immobility time, acquired from the forced swim test for depression. Region-of-interests were drawn in the striatum and cerebellum for the DA system and hippocampus and cerebellum for the 5-HT system. The cerebellum was chosen as a reference region. Nondisplaceable binding potential in the striatum and hippocampus were compared between 6-OHDA and sham groups. As a result, the degree of DA depletion was negatively correlated with rotational behavior (R(2) = 0.79, P = 0.003). In 6-OHDA lesioned rats, binding values for 5-HT(1A) receptors was 22% lower than the sham operated group. This decrement of 5-HT(1A) receptor binding was also correlated with the severity of depression (R(2) = 0.81, P = 0.006). Taken together, this research demonstrated that the destruction of dopaminergic system causes the reduction of the serotonergic system resulting in the expression of depressive behavior. The degree of dopaminergic dysfunction was positively correlated with the impairment of the serotonin system. Severity of motor symptoms was also closely related to depressive behavior.

For all the platitudes you receive for “How noble it is a thing you’re doing”, “I couldn’t do it myself,” “It’s a really great thing for you to do” – it’s a small consolation for the profound isolation, and quite often, the overwhelmingly negative experience it is to be a Carer – non-professional and unpaid.
Perhaps there is some pride to be taken for the fact that you’re probably the only person in the world who can do this job for that specific person. No one else, right now, knows the person you’re caring for the way you do – their nuances, their rhythms, the way they like to do things. They’re also used to, and comfortable with the way you care for them – arguably a little bit too comfortable at times.
To replace you, would take years of building a new relationship, a new way of being, developing a new level of comfort arising from an arduous journey of mutual compromise without time-scale.
You are irreplaceable. You can take pride in that and all you do.
But you are also the only one in the world who knows it.

As an employee, you have the right to work for a company that does business in an ethical, moral, and legal manner. And as a taxpayer, you have the right to know that your hard-earned money isn’t being used for fraudulent purposes. Unfortunately, many businesses pad their profits by engaging in illegal activities at the expense of the United States government, putting their employees at risk of sudden job loss and taxpayers on the hook for their corruption. If you or someone you know has seen this kind of corruption or fraud, you need skilled representation. Contact our Clarksville Qui Tam & Whistleblower Attorneys today.
In some cases, the business that’s taking advantage of the government could be your own workplace. If you’re aware of fraudulent activities occurring at work, whether it’s Medicare and Medicaid-related, government contract-related, or simply falsifying records while working for the government, you could file a qui tam lawsuit and be awarded a percentage of the recovered money by being a whistleblower.
The government is always on the lookout for fraud, whether it’s a private citizen or a corporation that’s doing it. However, the government doesn’t always have the resources to investigate every company for fraudulent activities. That’s why employees who decide to become whistleblowers aren’t just eligible for rewards when they file qui tam lawsuits, but they’re also protected from retaliation.
Correctly identifying fraud isn’t always easy—especially if you’re not sure what to look for. At Matt Hardin Law, our Clarksville, TN Personal Injury Lawyers can review the evidence that you provide to determine if it’s likely that your employer is engaging in fraud. If so, we’ll work hard to find out both when the fraud first began and whether it’s still occurring. Qui tam lawsuits have a statute of limitations of six years after the time the activity occurred, so it’s important that whistleblowers act as soon as they discover fraud.
After reviewing the evidence and conducting our own investigation, we’ll formally prepare a document called a relator’s statement that names you as the whistleblower and describes the fraud taking place and evidence that supports that it’s occurring or recently occurred. Upon completion, we’ll get the statement filed under seal, making it confidential, and then send it to the attorney general for governmental review. While this occurs, your employer will be unaware that you’re in the process of filing a qui tam lawsuit.
If your qui tam lawsuit represents significant fraud involving large amounts of money or a systematic abuse of a government program such as Medicaid or Medicare, there’s a good chance the government will take over the case and pursue it via the Justice Department. If that happens, you can still participate in the litigation, but your role will be limited and your payout may be reduced. But if the government declines to pursue the case, you can still proceed with your Clarksville qui tam lawyer, and if the lawsuit is successful, you may be eligible to receive a larger cash reward.
If you’re thinking about filing a qui tam lawsuit, it’s important to get feedback from attorneys who understand these types of cases and know which ones are most likely to succeed. You should also avoid speaking to anyone about your qui tam case other than your attorney, as these cases should be kept strictly confidential while evidence is being gathered.
When you contact Matt Hardin Law, we’ll review your case and any evidence you provide and give you an honest assessment on whether it will amount to a viable lawsuit. If it does, you can count on us to work in a manner that’s both geared towards success while also protecting your anonymity, your family, and your career.
Get in touch with our legal team today and put a stop to your employer’s fraudulent activities. Also, reach out to our Clarksville Car Accident Attorneys to discuss your case if you were injured in an automobile accident through no fault of your own. Dial (931) 274-7788 or complete a free online consultation form to find out how we can help you get rewarded for exposing corruption.
