...How the Effective Application of Technology Can Save Money and Help Win Cases Prepared and Presented by: Michael J. Glick, Esq. Encore Legal Solutions Paralegal│Resource How The Effective Application of Technology Can Save Money and Help Win Cases People say that we live in a litigious society. There is some truth to that. Litigation often comes unexpectedly, is costly, messy and the outcome isn’t always predictable. But as business concerns, we strive to understand our costs and factor them into comprehensive models to assure profits. The role of in-house counsel has grown in recent years in an effort to become more proactive in limiting exposure and controlling the costs which can threaten profits. Much of this effort is focused on managing outside counsel to improve adherence to case budgets. However, there has been a reluctance to provide the tools to the outside counsel that can truly enhance efficiency, particularly within the area of discovery. This article will provide an understanding of how new tools and procedures can help to make the litigation process more efficient. Perhaps even more importantly, we show how these tools will provide a better understanding of potential liability earlier on to enable better decision making, more predictability and even help promote economies of scale in the ongoing battle to contain legal costs. One of the areas of largest expense is discovery: the identification, acquisition, management and analysis of evidence. Today...

...Hundred in one Brief intro: Sabi nga nung mga kaibigan ko dati, masarap daw ang pakiramdam ng sikat. Yung tipong, ikaw yung hinahangaan. Naisip ko naman, lahat naman ng positive side, may kaequal sa negative side. Hindi naman puro maganda ang kinalalabasan. I'm just the girl next door. Well, hindi naman yung literal na meaning. Typical girl kumbaga. Yung mamemeet mo sa pangarawaraw. In short, average lang. Pero may nagsasabi sa akin na hindi raw ako average. Sometimes above or below. Kainis na mga yun!!! Ang lakas ng loob na sabihing above average ako? 4th year high school na nga pala ako. Bagong school. Sa katunayan, hindi naman na talaga bago sa akin ang 'Edison High School.' Nakatira naman na kasi kami dito sa lugar na ito, dati pa. Kaya lang nadestino yung Papa ko sa ibang lugar kaya napilitan kaming lumipat. Pero ngayon, stayput na siya. Hindi na yata namin kailangang lumipat uli. Kaya bumalik na naman ako sa pinanggalingan ko. Makikita ko na naman yung mga naging kaibigan ko dati. I have two brothers. Yung isa mas matanda sa akin, yung isa mas bata. Nagkataon namang yung mas bata sa akin eh ang mortal kong kaaway sa bahay namin! Si Kuya naman, hindi nakatira sa amin dahil college na siya. Bakasyon pa naman. Inienjoy ko pa naman dahil kapag nagpasukan na, magsisimula na ang nightmare. Hindi pa maayos yung bahay namin mula sa pagkakalipat, marami pa kasing hindi nabubuksang kahon. Pero syempre, inuna kong ayusin yung kwarto ko. Aba, yun ang pinakamahalaga...

...COUNCIL OF EUROPE CONSEIL DE L’EUROPE A guide to project management Frank Heyworth European Centre for Modern Languages Centre européen pour les langues vivantes A guide to project management In 1994, upon the initiative of Austria and the Netherlands, with special support from France, eight states founded the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) as an Enlarged Partial Agreement of the Council of Europe. It was to become “a forum to discuss and seek solutions to the specific tasks and challenges that face them in the coming years and which will play a decisive role in the process of European integration”. At the time of writing, thirty-two 1 states subscribe to the Partial Agreement. Following a successful initial trial period (1995-1998), the continuation of the activities of the Centre was confirmed by Resolution (98) 11 of the Committee of Ministers. The aim of the Graz Centre is to offer – generally through international workshops, colloquies and research and development networks and other expert meetings – a platform and a meeting place for officials responsible for language policy, specialists in didactics and methodologies, teacher trainers, textbook authors and other multipliers in the area of modern languages. A guide to project management is the fourth in a series of publications edited within the framework of the first medium-term programme of the ECML (20002003). The ECML’s overall role is the implementation of language policies and the promotion...

MAKE CUSTOMERS A BIRTHDAY CARD Guerrilla Ray Fisher of Keylock Mini Storage in Pinellas Park, Florida celebrates his tenantsʼ birthdays with a card he creates himself. He prints a poem on the card and gets four cards out of each piece of 8-1/2 x 11 card stock. He goes to Kinkos to have the cards printed and cut. Since sending the cards, Fisher has received a very positive response. One tenant even dropped by office just to say he really appreciated the card. Fisher started a file organized by month to pre-address the cards to make it easy to mail within a week of upcoming birthdays. Any service business can profit from this personal touch. 2.

...This page intentionally left blank The Study of Language This best-selling textbook provides an engaging and user-friendly introduction to the study of language. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Yule presents information in short, bite-sized sections, introducing the major concepts in language study – from how children learn language to why men and women speak differently, through all the key elements of language. This fourth edition has been revised and updated with twenty new sections, covering new accounts of language origins, the key properties of language, text messaging, kinship terms and more than twenty new word etymologies. To increase student engagement with the text, Yule has also included more than fifty new tasks, including thirty involving data analysis, enabling students to apply what they have learned. The online study guide offers students further resources when working on the tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the study of language. George Yule has taught Linguistics at the Universities of Edinburgh, Hawai’i, Louisiana State and Minnesota. He is the author of a number of books, including Discourse Analysis (with Gillian Brown, 1983) and Pragmatics (1996). “A genuinely introductory linguistics text, well suited for undergraduates who have little prior experience thinking descriptively about language. Yule’s crisp and thought-provoking presentation of key issues works...
