Dodson InternationalParts, Inc.I I. INTRODUCTION Prior to Ameristar Jet Charter,Inc. v. Dodson InternationalParts, Inc., a split of authority existed among appellate cases in Missouri as to how to calculate lost profit damages. 2 One line of cases stood for the proposition that all overhead expenses, including fixed expenses, should be deducted from estimated lost revenues to determine lost profit damages.3 Another set of cases explicitly refused to deduct all overhead; those courts only deducted variable expenses from estimated lost revenue to determine lost profit dam- ages.4 The Missouri Supreme 5 Court resolved this conflict in a unanimous decision in Ameristar.

  • Exodus 24 BIG IDEA: When It Appears That God Has Lost Control of His Good Plan for Your Life, Be Assured That You Are Not Forgot
    GOD, ARE YOU STILL IN CONTROL? The Isolation of Moses Exodus 24 Steve Holdaway, LifeSpring Church, 04.19.20 BIG IDEA: When it appears that God has lost control of his good plan for your life, be assured that you are not forgotten. Exodus 24:15-18 NIV When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud. To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain. Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. Exodus 32:1-6; Exodus 32:19-24; Exodus 34:1-11 Lessons from the story of Moses on the mountain: When you feel most alone, be assured that… God is working out his plan for history and for you. He will speak to you, but you might have to isolate. God will provide his presence in place of answers. Exodus 33:14 The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." BIG IDEA: When it appears that God has lost control of his good plan for your life, be assured that you are not forgotten.

  • Namaste: a Party Not to Sell Your Shares??
    09/13/2018 Namaste: A Party Not to Sell Your Shares?? OHHHH…the NASDAQ is going to have a field day with this rejection. Namaste Will Never Get a Nasdaq Listing; target $.25 cents ( Updated 9:25am) **** Update**** New information has come to Citron’s attention and its important. New target price $0.25. The French Presse has spoken and a credit to them. Quoting the head of Quebec Cannabis, Linda Bouchard has spoken. The takeaway is “A situation ‘totally unacceptable’”. It goes on to say, Quebec is to investigate Namaste and the article quotes “in violation of several sections of the Quebec and Canadian laws that formally prohibit the promotion of recreational cannabis products.” The College of Nurses of Quebec even imply that NamasteMD might be illegal (source). Tilray has now dropped Namaste too – let the hangover begin (source). Just when you thought you’d seen it all. Two nights ago, in Montreal, Namaste culminated its three‐month long pledge challenge with a party featuring Snoop Dogg. This is a $1 billion company that does not grow cannabis, rather they sell vape pens and have a website that did a paltry $46k in revenue last quarter as they lost $9 million. This is the type of euphoria, hype and promotion that the SEC has been warning investors about. The last few weeks have been strong for Cannabis stocks that trade in the US and investors have gone feverishly wild in creating bubble like valuations. While you can’t blame real companies like Aphria and Canntrust on hoping to join the party through a NASDAQ listing, you have to expect some party crashers to show up.

  • The Lost Boys of Bird Island
    Tafelberg To the lost boys of Bird Island – and to all voiceless children who have suffered abuse by those with power over them Foreword by Marianne Thamm Secrets, lies and cover-ups In January 2015, an investigative team consisting of South African and Belgian police swooped on the home of a 37-year-old computer engineer, William Beale, located in the popular Garden Route seaside town of Plettenberg Bay. The raid on Beale came after months of meticulous planning that was part of an intercontinental investigation into an online child sex and pornography ring. The investigation was code-named Operation Cloud 9. Beale was the first South African to be arrested. He was snagged as a direct result of the October 2014 arrest by members of the Antwerp Child Sexual Exploitation Team of a Belgian paedophile implicated in the ring. South African police, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Heila Niemand, cooperated with Belgian counterparts to expose the sinister network, which extended across South Africa and the globe. By July 2017, at least 40 suspects had been arrested, including a 64-year-old Johannesburg legal consultant and a twenty-year-old Johannesburg student. What police found on Beale’s computer was horrifying. There were thousands of images and videos of children, and even babies, being abused, tortured, raped and murdered. In November 2017, Beale pleaded guilty to around 19 000 counts of possession of child pornography and was sentenced to fifteen years in jail, the harshest punishment ever handed down in a South African court for the possession of child pornography.

Some Carpinus plants have become extinct. Thus, we need to pay more attention to the Carpinus plants that are not yet extinct but are endangered. Here, we employed the species distribution model (SDM) considering different climate change scenarios and human footprint to test the potential habitat changes of three Carpinus species (C. oblongifolia, C. tientaiensis, and C. purpurinervis) in the future. Our results showed that the mean diurnal range of temperature (MDRT), isothermality, mean temperature of wettest quarter, and human footprint were the most influential factors determining the distribution of C.

  • Lost Spoiler Practices: Online Interaction As Social Participation
    . Volume 11, Issue 2 November 2014 Lost spoiler practices: Online interaction as social participation Ödül Gürsimsek and Kirsten Drotner Institute for the Study of CultureMedia Studies, University of Southern Denmark Abstract: The American television network ABC’s serialized drama Lost (2004-10) is a key example of recent media culture where both viewers and producers utilize a range of digital media tools to advance the narrative: producers through transmedia storytelling strategies and the creation of complex narratives, and viewers through tracing, dismantling – and sometimes questioning – content in order to create coherent meanings in the maze of narratives. Online audiences, such as spoiler communities, may uncover components of transmedia storytelling, discuss their validity and enhance them with individual and collective content production, thus negotiating purposes and interpretive practices with producers and amongst themselves. Through critical discourse analysis of key instances where the Lost community collaborates over resources beyond the official Lost transmedia narratives, this article argues and documents that interactions between Lost audiences and producers operate as forms of social participation when spoiler-seeking audiences work to unravel, challenge and predict the narrative while the producers seek to orchestrate transmedia storytelling experiences. Our results serve as a sobering empirical critique of the more celebratory claims made about the emancipatory potentials of participatory online practices. Keywords:
