We are part of Topic 2 "Renewable Energies" of the KIT Energy Center.
Congratulations on the 10th birthday!
The Geothermal State Research Center - LFZG produced four animated short films (in German) that provide information about geothermal energy. | 2019-04-19T06:28:32Z | https://www.agw.kit.edu/english/10196.php |
suggesting Germany stop “rewarding behavior you want to get rid of” – takes aim at the military.
“You want everybody educated to their potential. You want people to reach their potential. That still won’t work for some people in a highly developed market system.
I mean if this were a sports-based system, you could give me a PhD in football, and I could practice eight hours a day, and I might be able to carry the water from, not onto the field, but from the locker room to the bench. There’s just some people don’t fit well into a highly skilled market-based economy.
So just the words of a funny old man who is losing his marbles, or an elitist “crony” oligarch who knows there are no consequences for his words or actions? | 2019-04-26T14:47:34Z | http://www.liebenfels.com/warren-buffett-some-citizens-dont-fit-in-a-market-economy-well-send-them-to-afghanistan/ |
In 1925, a couple from the small Dutch community of Pella, Iowa, invested in a newfangled invention — a window screen that rolled up and down like a shade. Today, that invention is the basis for one of the most trusted names in windows — Pella. A family owned business selling European lace evolves into Heritage Lace, an integrated manufacturer/marketer of quality home textiles. These are just some of the many success stories you’ll hear about as you explore the possibilities in Marion County, Iowa. | 2019-04-25T15:57:25Z | http://www.marioncountyiowa.com/innovator-stories/ |
Team MSK was part of Survival of the Fittest, a group show held during the London 2012 Olympics at the Waterworks, Lea Valley Park. It was a simple and fun way of demonstrating the literal bones and sinews of sporting achievement while also drawing awareness to the necessity of health and fitness in general.
Man Machine was an immersive installation that looked at the sedentary and technology-dependent reality of contemporary life and its impact on the individual, both physically and mentally. Featuring paintings, sabotaged posters, a skeleton, a laptop and an 'interactive' wall it was a disturbing work that explored the complex dynamics of the new mind-body-machine relationship. To try and give a sense of the narrative of this project, images are placed in the order that the audience would have viewed the room. All images enlarge when clicked.
The project was part of the E17 Art Trail 2011 . There is an really good review of the show on the E17 Art Trail Blog.
The Towers of Trash, representing some of Dubai's iconic buidings were created in Dubai in 2008. They were featured in the Creek Art Fair of that year.
The final incarnation of th Towers of Trash represented Canary Wharf. These were shown in 2010 as part of: the group exhibition: 'Oh...I do like to be beside the Lea' at the Waterworks in Walthamstow, East London. | 2019-04-18T13:03:20Z | https://naturestrikesback.com/installation |
Remember when the left went crazy over candidate Trump’s body movements while talking about a disabled liberal reporter who was unjustly trashing him?
Even though multiple videos proved then-presidential candidate Trump frequently used similar or the same body movements on many occasions while mocking people who were not disabled, the media and the Democrat Party milked the lie for months.
The media completely ignored Democrat strategist Adam Parkhomenko’s sick tweet today, where he asked his 253K+ followers to make sure a video of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), falling onto the stage (after tripping on his partially paralyzed leg from a bout with polio at the age of 12), went viral.
According to Wikipedia, Adam Parkhomenko is a Democratic political strategist and organizer who served as National Field Director for the Democratic National Committee in 2016. He was the co-founder and executive director of Ready for Hillary, a super PAC established to persuade Hillary Clinton to run for the presidency of the United States in 2016. In the 2017 party election, Parkhomenko was a candidate for Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Earlier today, Adam Parkhomenko tweeted this video, saying that Mitch McConnell does not want to let this video get up to 1 million views. Did the GOP Senate Majority Leader tell Parkhomenko that, or is this just another case of a demented Democrat making fun of someone with a disability and hoping fellow Democrats will help him to humiliate McConnell over his disability even more?
The former DNC field director was immediately slammed for mocking a disabled person simply because he doesn’t agree with his politics.
So you enjoy picking on handicapped/disabled people?
The Senator suffered from Polio as a child, resulting in a paralyzed left leg.
You exemplify the Democrat Party. Contemptible, vindictive losers.
EducatëdHillbilly™ tweeted a part of Senator Mitch McConnell’s bio, explaining how his upper left leg was paralyzed after he was afflicted with polio at the age of 12.
Mindy Robertson reminded the Democrat hack about McConnell’s disability: McConnell had polio as a kid and his leg is partially paralyzed because of it, you POS. But great way to demonstrate that “moral superiority” you Dems keep thinking you have over us…..
What do you think? Should the media be calling our Parkhomenko for his disgusting behavior? Tell us what you think in the comment section below? | 2019-04-21T16:48:37Z | https://100percentfedup.com/dem-strategist-tweets-sick-video-of-polio-survivor-gop-senator-mitch-mcconnell-tripping-and-falling-downsays-he-hopes-it-gets-1-million-views/ |

What Does Your Lip Colour Say About Your Body?
While you may make all the girls jealous with your rosy lips, this is actually an indication that your body is overheated. This condition will be accompanied by a constant craving for food and bad breath. Your body gets overheated when your liver is dysfunctional. Take immediate measures to cleanse your liver. You can consume celery, honey dandelion tea, and bitter melon to help the cleansing process. Your lips may also be red if you have an allergy to certain foods.
No, don’t cover them with red lipstick! Pale lips indicate anaemia which is a cause of low haemoglobin or red blood cells. Consume foods that are rich in iron to cure this condition. The richest sources of iron are dry fruits and spinach which will boost your haemoglobin levels.
This indicates that your digestive system needs detoxification immediately and needs to be rid of disturbing food agents. Try to practise an alkaline diet. You can also consume lemon-squeezed warm water. Stray clear of junk food until your digestive system is cleansed and include a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, and rice to your diet.
This is not much to be alarmed about if it happens in extremely cold regions. However, you should immediately consult your doctor if you do not stay in a very cold region and the condition persists for more than a few days. Blue or purple lips can mean that you have respiratory or heart problem. It can also mean that your blood is not properly circulated through your body. An improper blood circulation around the spleen and liver can be identified if there is a green line around the lips.
These indicate respiratory or heart problems. Consume foods that are neutral and nature along with a few mild spices.
Rosy Pink Lips indicate that you are maintaining a good lifestyle and is a sign of a healthy body and a balanced mind. This means that your diet, sleeping patterns and workout regimes are suiting your body. More reason to make ‘em girls jealous, huh?
While everyone wants super cool superpowers, my superpower is health indication through lip colour! Do not take a change in your lip colour lightly. Consult with a doctor immediately if you notice even a slight change. And keep drinking the magic potion that will make everything alright. No, not Whisky! Water! Let us know some more natural ways of leading a healthy lifestyle with lovely pink lips in the comments section. | 2019-04-25T10:23:53Z | https://www.healthlibrary.in/what-does-your-lip-colour-say-about-your-body/ |

Use the law and your employer's complaint procedures to protect yourself from on-the-job harassment.
If the harasser ignores your oral requests to stop, or if you are uncomfortable talking to the harasser face to face, write a succinct letter demanding an end to the behavior. Be sure to keep a copy.
If you are concerned for your personal safety or are afraid that the harasser might become more hostile when confronted, complain to a supervisor instead.
Although it is often difficult to make a complaint at work, and you may prefer to skip this step, don't. The U.S. Supreme Court has said that employees who fail to use their employer's internal complaint procedure to make the company aware of sexual harassment, and to give the company a chance to stop it, cannot later hold the company liable in a lawsuit. This means that you are quite likely to lose in court, should it come to that, if you don't complain within the company first.
Even if your company doesn't have a formal complaint procedure, you can put the company on notice of the harassment. You can do this by making a complaint to the human resources department, telling your supervisor (or his or her supervisor) about the problem, or informing a company executive.
It is very important to document what is happening to you, and what you are doing to try to stop it, should you ever have to prove your case to a company investigator, a government agency, or a jury.
Start by collecting as much detailed evidence as possible about the harassment. Be sure to save any offensive letters, photographs, cards, or notes you receive. If you were made to feel uncomfortable because of jokes, pin-ups, or cartoons posted at work, confiscate them -- or at least make copies. An anonymous, obnoxious photo or joke posted on a bulletin board is not anyone else's personal property, so you are free to take it down and keep it as evidence. If that's not possible, photograph the workplace walls. Note the dates the offensive material was posted -- and whether there were hostile reactions when you took it down or asked another person to do so.
Also, keep a detailed journal about incidents of harassment. Include the names of everyone involved, what happened, and where and when it took place. If anyone else saw or heard the harassment, note that as well. Be as specific as possible about what was said and done -- and how it affected you, your health, or your job performance. Keep your journal and notes at home or in a secure location outside of the workplace.
If your employer has conducted periodic written evaluations of your work, make sure you have copies. In fact, you may want to ask for a copy of your entire personnel file before complaining about a harassing coworker. Your records can be particularly persuasive evidence if your employer retaliates against you for complaining -- which is also illegal. For example, you'll want a copy of your records if you've had positive performance evaluations until you complain, and then your employer tries to transfer, demote, or fire you or claims your job performance is poor.
If complaining to your employer doesn’t help, the next step is to go to either the federal agency that enforces Title VII -- the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission -- or to your state fair employment office. If all investigation and settlement attempts fail to produce satisfactory results, you can file a civil lawsuit for damages under either Title VII or your state fair employment practices statute.
You must file a complaint with the EEOC before filing a federal lawsuit. Even if you intend right from the beginning to file a lawsuit, you sometimes must first file a claim with a government agency. For example, an employee pursuing a claim under federal law must first file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and a similar complaint procedure is required under some state laws.
The EEOC or state agency may decide to prosecute your case on your behalf, but that happens rarely. More commonly, at some point, the agency will issue you a document referred to as a "right-to-sue" letter that allows you to take your case to court with your own lawyer.
Note, however, that there are time limits for filing claims with government agencies and for filing a lawsuit, so be sure not to miss them. | 2019-04-20T10:44:24Z | https://www.gslawny.com/lawyer-attorney-0E020B2A-F7D9-40C2-AB52398DFAAFDC6F.html |

EVENT: Supreme Court Gardens (Perth) this Saturday 26th May 2018, 6.30 – 8pm.
WHY? It is 20 years since the 1998 abortion legislation in WA during which time 165,000 Western Australian babies have been killed with state sanction.
3,300 white crosses, each representing 50 children, will be displayed in the form of a giant cross in the Gardens from this Friday.
INCLUDED is a commemorative service. Red roses will be available to place beside crosses.
Feel free to bring your own picnic tea from 5pm and to engage in prayer after.
We had about 1500 people at the 2017 rally at Parliament House – let’s see if we can double that number at this very significant anniversary.
Dear Friends, it is time – as never before – to STAND FOR TRUTH. In this instance we are standing for the truth of God’s Creation, that every human life is created in God’s Image, with innate dignity and worth from conception till life’s natural end, in all states of dependency and disability.
This is a time to both COMMEMORATE the tragedy of abortion and CELEBRATE God’s Truth, unafraid in upholding our liberty to believe and declare the value of all human life.
As a people of God standing together may it be seen and heard that “the shout of the King” is among us (Num 23:21 NIV). | 2019-04-20T12:11:13Z | http://www.chooselifeaustralia.org.au/life/event-supreme-court-gardens-this-saturday-26th-may-2018-6-30-8pm/ |

Look at you, headed to a serious networking event. Or prepping your outfit for your first day of work at a company that allows for “business casual attire.” Kudos to you, my man! So… Do you know what constitutes business casual attire?
Buying suits online can be tricky. The very real possibility of ordering a suit from a website only to discover upon receipt that it is not the quality, style or fit you expected is an understandable concern. It is also easier than you think to get exactly what you want.
Knowing what you want – style and fabric as well as a baseline price you are willing to pay – is half the battle. The other half is as simple as getting your measurements right. Quickly reviewing the return policy is a smart safety measure too.

Kendra Morris recalls singers who straddled soul and rock during the early '70s, such as Ruth Copeland and Chaka Khan. Her taste was developed through her parents' record collection, a library heavy on late-60s and early-70s soul and funk. During her childhood Morris's best friend was her karaoke machine, which she used for the sake of recording and learning to harmonize with herself. She eventually taught herself guitar and involved herself with a crappy band which moved to New York in 2004 and broke up soon after. Kendra stuck around and wound up recording songs by herself in the closet of her bushwick loft with an old Tascam 8 track she found at a shop in the east village and began releasing the demos on myspace and through iTunes. It was through these demos and playing shows around the Lower East Side of Manhattan with her Fender Mustang and a Sharp GF777 Boombox that she rigged her guitar to play through that she met her still constant producer and collaborator Jeremy Page. After touring with legendary Motown Funk Brother Dennis Coffey and releasing a series of singles including "Concrete Waves," with b-side remixed by DJ Premier, Morris released the album Banshee (2012) on Wax Poetics Records. In 2013, Morris returned with the covers album Mockingbird. | 2019-04-21T22:48:26Z | http://www.spacelandpresents.com/event/1676668-kendra-morris-los-angeles/ |

THE Norwegian Fishery Council, NFC, and the Nigeria Customs are currently in talks with a view to creating a platform for the exchange of information on pricing of fish and other perishable cargoes. fresh fish in basket Speaking at a meeting in Lagos last week the West and Central Africa Director of the NFC, Mr Trond Kostveit, said that the Council has been inundated with complaints by Nigerian fish importers of the delays in getting their perishable cargoes out of the ports.
Kostveit also said that the longer these perishables stay in unregulated conditions the more they lose their quality. He disclosed that the Council, in recent past, organized a meeting between the Norwegian and Nigeria Customs Services with a view to creating a common platform to verifying prices from Nigerian importers. | 2019-04-24T12:53:08Z | http://naijafox.com/economy/nigeria-norway-in-talks-over-platform-for-proper-pricing-of-fish-other-perishables/ |

Ohio lawmakers have passed "zero tolerance" laws related to underage drinking and driving. With Ohio being one of the strictest states in regards to this offense, it will be an uproad battle if you have been charged with an underage DUI. Because of this, knowing your options for fighting these allegations is vital.
The most efficient method of doing this is to work closely with a qualified criminal defense attorney who has the experience and legal understanding necessary to effectively represent you throughout the entire criminal process. Having adequate legal counsel has the potential to turn the tables on the prosecution and give you a much better opportunity at fighting these serous charges.
Considering the extremely punitive stance that the state of Ohio has with underage drinking and driving, not taking all the precautions available to remedy the situation will negatively affect the outcome. With this in mind, finding capable representation can make all the difference in the judgment of your case.
Brian Joslyn, of the Joslyn Law Firm, is committed to providing excellent client service while making certain that your constitutional rights are fully protected during this difficult time.
To schedule a free and confidential consultation to go over the specifics of your case, call (614) 444-1900 or send an online message today. Brian proudly represents individuals accuse of criminal acts in the central Ohio counties of Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Madison, Fairfield and Pickaway.
The person has a concentration of at least two-hundredths of one per cent but less than eight-hundredths of one per cent by weight per unit volume of alcohol in the person’s whole blood.
The person has a concentration of at least three-hundredths of one per cent but less than ninety-six-thousandths of one per cent by weight per unit volume of alcohol in the person’s blood serum or plasma.
The person has a concentration of at least two-hundredths of one gram but less than eight-hundredths of one gram by weight of alcohol per two hundred ten liters of the person’s breath.
The person has a concentration of at least twenty-eight one-thousandths of one gram but less than eleven-hundredths of one gram by weight of alcohol per one hundred milliliters of the person’s urine.
In simple terms, if the underage individual is pulled over and has .02 or more BAC, they will be charged with an underage DUI.
As for the penalties, an underage OVI in Ohio is classified as a misdemeanor of the first degree. If convicted, a misdemeanor of the first degree comes with a presumptive sentence of up to six months in prison and / or fines of up to $1,075. In addition, if convicted, the court may require intervention and / or alcohol treatment and education programs.
Along with these sanctions, the individual will also be issued a class five license suspension, which comes with a presumptive term of six months to three years.

It's not always easy to keep mentally focused during running. Focus requires discipline and a certain level of mental toughness, meaning that you have developed the capacity to perform to the best of your ability despite external conditions or internal distractions. You can minimize distractions and help yourself stay focused by implementing self-help techniques and maintaining a positive, nonjudgmental attitude.
Mentally tough athletes push through and overcome obstacles to stay focused on their ultimate goal. Developing the traits that characterize mental toughness can help you remain focused during running. According to sports psychologist JoAnn Dahlkoetter in an article for the online runner's resource, "Competitor," several characteristics or traits tare commonly identified in mentally tough runners: Resilience, focus, strength, preparation, vision, openness and trust. You simply do not allow yourself to become distracted by external conditions or internal emotions -- you have the ability to put these distractions behind you for the time being and live in the moment.
Positive self-talk can encourage you and help you stay focused while running. According to sports psychologists Leif Smith and Todd Kays in "Sports Psychology for Dummies," mentally repeating specific cue words, such as "focus" or "hustle," may help to increase your concentration when you feel a decrease in your level of focus. Tape the cue words to a piece of athletic tape around your wrist and mentally concentrate on them while you run, as though the words are your mantra. Don't beat yourself up if you're having an off day. Talk to yourself as you would talk to a good friend. Be positive and encouraging and tell yourself that you can do it.
When you feel yourself starting to tire or slow down, marathon runner and trainer Jeff Galloway suggests practicing the following drill, adapted from his book, "Mental Training for Runners: How to Stay Motivated." Tell yourself that you're going to continue running for just one minute more, reducing your pace slightly for a few seconds, then continue this pattern, telling yourself "one more minute" or "10 more steps" until you achieve your goal for the day. If you break down your goal into small chunks, it may seem more manageable and achievable and you'll be less likely to lose focus.
Almost all athletes use some form of visualization prior to or during their workout or competition to help them stay focused. According to Galloway, worrying and focusing on the negative possibilities is a major way that many runners become distracted and lose motivation. Visualization can help you overcome your worries and direct your focus back to your goal. Visualization involves vividly imagining and rehearsing positive outcomes to future events or the event in which you're currently involved. Before your race, you might lie down and imagine yourself running effortlessly, overcoming obstacles and achieving your goal. The more vividly you can imagine the scene by involving all of your five senses, the more effective your visualization will be. | 2019-04-25T10:42:26Z | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/keep-mentally-focused-during-running-2563.html |

A man suspected of assaulting two women at a hot dog stand in Los Angeles was arrested by police. Video recorded during the altercation shows a man repeatedly punched two women before fleeing through traffic to the other side of the street.
It all started when the two victims approached the hot dog stand and noticed that a man was angry at the vendor over the price of hot dogs. Apparently, the man was angry that the hot dogs cost $6 and, when offered a free hot dog by the vendor, turned it down and continued raving about the price. At that point, one of the women told the man to “just leave,” after which he went irate and started punching the women.
Bystanders got video of all but the very first blows being thrown, though none of them stepped in to help the victims.
Assault is covered under California Penal Code 240 PC and is described as an attempt to commit a violent injury on someone else. A person can be charged with assault regardless of whether or not they actually make contact with anyone. The reason for this is because the crime itself is committed when someone attempts to commit a violent injury on someone else. Whether the defendant actually inflicts the violent injury or not doesn’t matter when it comes to being charged with assault.
Simple assault is a misdemeanor in California, with the possible penalties including a fine of up t o $1,000 and up to 6 months in county jail. These penalties are standard regarding most California misdemeanors. However, depending on the circumstances of the case, it’s possible that other penalties or court orders could be involved. | 2019-04-21T02:45:45Z | https://adventurebailbonds.com/adventure-bail-bonds-los-angeles/hot-dog-stand-assault-suspect-arrested/ |
Tula Telfair's hyper-realistic landscape paintings are at once awe-inspiring and extremely personal. Although vividly detailed, the scenes she depicts are not found in nature; they are conjured from memory and imagination. Informed by her experiences growing up on four continents, Telfair produces fantastical visions with delicate brushstrokes and a breathtaking mastery of color and light. Suggestive of waterfalls in Africa, deserts of the American Southwest, and ice floes in Antarctica, Telfair’s art draws attention to the power and fragility of nature. Essays by Henry Adams and Michael S. Roth explore the technical and aesthetic aspects of Telfair’s work, her personal history, and the interplay between realism and invention.
Tula Telfair grew up in Africa, Asia and Europe before moving to the United States. Her work is featured in public collections around the world and has been widely exhibited. She is a professor of art at Wesleyan University and lives and works in New York City and Lyme, Connecticut. Henry Adams has written 14 books or book-length exhibition catalogues and is a professor of art history at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Michael S. Roth, president of Wesleyan University, publishes essays, book reviews and commentaries in national media and scholarly journals. He lives in Connecticut. J. Michael Fay is an American biologist, ecologist, conservationist and is a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence.
Henry Adams is an art historian and curator. The author of more than 300 scholarly and popular arti-cles, his subjects in the field of American art range from the seventeenth century to the present. He has written twenty books or book-length exhibition cata-logs, including Eakins Revealed and Tom and Jack: The Intertwined Lives of Thomas Hart Benton and Jackson Pollock. He has been singled out by ARTnews as one of the foremost experts on American art. From 1984 to 1993, Adams was the Samuel Sosland Curator of American Art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and, in 1989, he produced a documentary on Thomas Hart Benton in partnership with Ken Burns. He is a graduate of Harvard and Yale, where he received his B.A. and PhD (respectively) and is currently the Ruth Coulter Heede Profes-sor of Art History at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
Michael S. Roth, Wesleyan class of 1978, became the sixteenth president of Wesleyan University in 2007, after having served as Hartley Burr Alexander Pro-fessor of Humanities at Scripps College, associate director of the Getty Research Institute, and president of the California College of the Arts. While at Wes-leyan, he has overseen the launch of two new centers and four new colleges emphasizing interdisciplinary research and community learning. He is an author and curator, most notably of the exhibition “Sigmund Freud: Conflict and Culture,” which opened at the Library of Congress in 1998. Roth’s recent books include Memory, Trauma, and History: Essays on Living with the Past and Beyond the University: Why Liberal Education Matters. He also regularly publishes essays, book reviews, and commentaries in the national media and scholarly journals, in addition to teaching undergraduate courses. He lives in Connecticut.
J. Michael Fay is an American biologist, ecologist, and conservationist. Among his best-known proj-ects are the Megatransect, in which he spent 455 days walking 3,200 miles across Gabon and the Congo Basin, and the Megaflyover, an eight-month aerial survey of the entire African continent. These projects brought attention to the need to protect the last remaining pristine forest in central Africa, and led to a historic initiative by the Gabonese government to create a system of thirteen national parks, comprised of some 11,000 square miles of wilderness. He is the National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence. | 2019-04-26T00:48:00Z | https://tulatelfair.com/book.php |

Different mastering for this vinyl edition apparently. It definitely sounds different. More separation between the various instrumentation, a more "naked" vibe, you feel like you can hear/see the seams. Prefer the CD version, it's tighter, rounder, fuller, an integrated whole. But this works nicely as an alternate-world version of one of the greatest avant-garde metal albums of all time.
anybody on the sound quality of this ?????
Maybe a collectors item, but since it lacks the fantastic artwork.... Boring!
Just a master piece. Far beyond its time, this record has is own place in history. The best blend of genders without leave the heavy background. Really deep record... just give this gift to your ears!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Those who know Jeremy Pruitt best describe him as a bull in a china shop. It's the way he coaches, the way he recruits, the way he goes about his daily grind.
Given Tennessee's struggles over the past decade, the Volunteers probably needed a dose of Pruitt's in-your-face, old-school approach, and there were flashes of progress in 2018 in his debut season on Rocky Top. The Vols upset nationally ranked Auburn on the road and also knocked off a ranked Kentucky squad at home, but finished the season with a whimper with back-to-back lopsided losses to Missouri and Vanderbilt.
The end result was all too familiar to Tennessee fans -- a seventh losing season in the past 11.
But as Pruitt enters Year 2, the Vols return several key contributors from last season, and even more important, there's a genuine feeling inside the Tennessee football complex that some of the gains this offseason are indicative of what's to come on the field.
Pruitt hired away veteran offensive coordinator Jim Chaney from Georgia and went into the NFL ranks to get Derrick Ansley as the Vols' defensive coordinator after Pruitt called defensive plays in 2018. In addition, former Tennessee national championship quarterback Tee Martin, previously USC's offensive coordinator before being fired, is back at his alma mater as assistant head coach and receivers coach, and the Vols signed a pair of five-star offensive-tackle prospects in the 2019 class, including early enrollee Wanya Morris.
The schedule is a little more forgiving in 2019, with seven of the first nine games at home, meaning a postseason appearance is more than a reasonable expectation for the Vols in their second season under Pruitt.
The Vols lost Kyle Phillips, Alexis Johnson and Shy Tuttle, all of whom played a ton of snaps on the defensive line in 2018. This is a key spring for Emmit Gooden to assert himself in the middle of the defensive line and be a consistent performer after coming over from junior college a year ago. John Mincey and Matthew Butler will also get every chance to show what they can do up front defensively. There are question marks on the offensive line, too. Trey Smith's status after a recurrence of blood clots last year remains unclear, and starting tackle Drew Richmond elected to transfer. The Vols do get Brandon Kennedy back at center after he missed last season with an injury. Marcus Tatum has bulked up to 300 pounds, which should help his cause at tackle.
It's always nice to return your starting quarterback and all of your top running backs and receivers, and that's what the Vols do in 2019. This will be Jarrett Guarantano's third season as the starting quarterback, and he will be surrounded by running backs Ty Chandler and Tim Jordan, who combined for 1,152 rushing yards last season, as well as the Vols' top three receivers from a year ago: Marquez Callaway, Josh Palmer and Jauan Jennings. All three averaged more than 14 yards per catch. And on defense, Tennessee returns the bulk of its secondary, including a pair of cornerbacks -- Bryce Thompson and Alontae Taylor -- who both started last season as true freshmen. Thompson intercepted three passes and earned Freshman All-America honors.
Chaney steps in for Tyson Helton as offensive coordinator and has a proven track record when it comes to developing quarterbacks. Everybody knows about his work with Drew Brees at Purdue, but Chaney was also instrumental in Jonathan Crompton's improvement his final season at Tennessee, turned Nathan Peterman into an NFL draft pick when Chaney was at Pittsburgh and got Jake Fromm ready to play as a true freshman at Georgia. Martin will take over as receivers coach with David Johnson moving to running backs. Chris Weinke will move from running backs to quarterbacks. And on defense, with Ansley taking over as coordinator, Kevin Sherrer will shift to special-teams coordinator. One of the biggest recruits of the offseason for Pruitt was keeping head strength coach Craig Fitzgerald after his alma mater, Maryland, made a hard run at him. With Fitzgerald returning, that means this will be the first time in five years that Tennessee has had the same strength coach in back-to-back years.
Instant-impact addition: Of the two five-star offensive-tackle prospects the Vols landed in the 2019 class, only Morris will be on campus this spring. Darnell Wright doesn't arrive until the summer. Morris has the size and tools to be a starter right away, and all of the reps he receives this spring should make him that much more equipped. The Vols were in desperate need of linebackers who could make plays in space, and early enrollee Quavaris Crouch would seem to fit that bill with his blend of speed and physicality. Crouch was a running back in high school, but the Vols recruited him as a linebacker.
The truth is there hasn't been a lot to get excited about from the Tennessee perspective over the past decade or so when it comes to the Florida "rivalry." The Gators have won 13 of the past 14 games in the series, and the Vols last won at the Swamp in 2003, when Ron Zook was running the show in Gainesville. Despite Florida's stranglehold in this series, it's still the game that sets the tone for Tennessee in September and one that could propel the Vols to a big season with a victory, especially with an open date the following week and then Georgia coming to town Oct. 5. | 2019-04-25T05:19:47Z | http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/26072818/tennessee-spring-football-preview-hope-year-2-jeremy-pruitt |

This trip lasted barely two days and it went by very fast. The reason the Abreu Fellows (5 out of the 10 of us) were in Long Beach, California was to perform a number on the TED Stage during the TED Prize session. Here’s a little background.
TED, which stands for technology, entertainment and design is a non-profit dedicated to promoting “Ideas Worth Spreading.” The organization holds conferences all over the world where they gather some of the best and brightest from all fields to speak for about 18 minutes on their area of expertise. No matter who they are none of the speakers are paid and they all get about 18 minutes. Past speakers have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, conductor Benjamin Zander, poet and spoken word artist Rives and of course our own Jose Antonio Abreu, founder of El Sistema.
The TED Conference is the main conference and it is held once a year in Long Beach, California. In theory anyone can attend but there is a pretty serious application and a $6000 attendance fee. Despite this the conference sells out very quickly. Founders, CEOs, politicians and celebrities are generally in attendance. Below is a picture of one TED session I attended where they simulcasted the talk of Britain’s next Prime Minister (if all goes as planned), David Cameron.
So why the heck were we invited to perform? Well as you all know by now, the founder of El Sistema, Jose Antonio Abreu, won the TED Prize in 2009 and as a result he receieved $100,000 and a wish, which was to launch the Abreu Fellows Program. It is at these yearly TED Conferences that the TED Prize is announced. But before they announce the new TED Prize winner, they look back at previous winners and through speeches, videos and performances they show the audience how the previous winners’ wishes are coming along. To show how Abreu’s wish was developing they invited the Abreu Fellows do a skit/music performance.
It was a quick six-minute performance and I think it went really well. We got a standing ovation from the audience and lots of great feedback afterwards. I’d like to think that our performing skills are the reason for the positive reception, but I know it has much more to do with the fact that people believe in Abreu’s wish.
I’ve spoken to so many people who tell me something special happened last year at the TED Conference when Abreu gave his TED Talk. TEDsters (people who attend TED) are generally brilliant and successful and they’ve seen and done it all, but apparently Abreu’s talk and wish really made an impact on them last year. Fortunately for the Abreu Fellows Program, people are really behind this wish and want to see it unfold.
9pm: We land at LAX. It’s my first time in California and I’m happy to see palm trees instead of snow.
11pm: I meet up with my colleague, former school-mate and TED Fellow Robert Gupta for a drink at the hotel.
11:45pm: I walk around Long Beach looking for food. I see TEDsters everywhere.
7:30am: I wake-up and head to the Long Beach Performing Arts Center to watch the TED University Talks session. I’m excited to see Gupta speak and perform there.
8:45am: Gupta’s TED Talk. Have you seen the movie “The Soloist” starring Jamie Foxx? The protagonist is the real-life Nathaniel Ayers, a musician who develops schizophrenia and becomes homeless. Gupta is now his violin teacher so his TED talk is about his experience working with Ayers. Gupta also performs some Bach after his talk. Out of all the TED University speakers, Gupta is the only one that gets a standing ovation. He deserves it as he is fantastic. His talk should be available online in the next few months. Bravo Robert!
10:50am: I’m walking to meet the other fellows. From afar I see a beautiful blonde walking towards me by herself. As she gets closer I glance at her nametag. It says Cameron Diaz. She walks right by me and like an idiot, I say nothing, not even hello.
12:45pm: Rehearsal on the TED stage. The acoustic piano we were supposed to use turns into an electric keyboard. Most of our 30 minute rehearsal time is taken up by the techs trying to get this keyboard to work. Our run-through is mediocre at best so we’d like another go at it. The answer is “sorry, but no.” Great…no pressure guys.
4:00pm: Hair and make-up. No seriously, hair and make-up. The make-up artist tells me I have good skin.
4:30pm: Meg Ryan walks by us backstage.
5:00pm: TED Prize session starts. I’m a little nervous but Mark Churchill the director of the Abreu Fellows program is sitting with us in the audience. Seeing a familiar face helps.
5:45ish pm: Our performance. We kill it. The TED audience is great. I’m relieved it went well. People such as Al Gore, Meg Ryan and Bill Gates are in the audience. Our performance was videotaped by TED and I’ll post it as soon as we get it.
6:15pm: Jamie Oliver does his TED Talk and announces his wish. Personally I think it’s a great wish: “To create a strong and sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.” Check out his TED talk here.
6:45pm We’re backstage. Sheryl Crow, who has just performed after Jamie Oliver, congratulates us, the fellows, on our performance. I ask myself what I’m doing here.
7:00pm The fellows and I head to a restaurant for a reception.
7:15pm We meet various people, all ridiculously good at what they do: a co-founder of Skype, a writer/producer for Grey’s Anatomy, the President of this and CEO of that. I remind myself to take it easy on the drinks so I don’t say something stupid.
8:00pm As we’re standing around a table, a rather tall, black guy comes right up to me, shakes my hand and congratulates us on our performance. It’s Will Smith. I tell him I’m a big fan. I decline to tell him that I know every line from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He asks what the long, brown thing was that I was playing. He introduces himself to all of us and chats with us for a few minutes. He is very humble and easy-going. As he leaves, I immediately post to Facebook about the encounter. It pains me to admit it now, but I felt giddy, like a 5-year old in a candy store. I again ask myself what I’m doing here.
11:30pm Block party on the street. I run into a few TEDsters who support the Abreu Fellows program like Carl Haney and Michael Melcher. The band is awesome and people are dancing…as best as a bunch of CEOs and Founders dance.
7:00am Abreu Fellows Breakfast with TEDsters and supporters of the fellowship. Gupta attends too. I sit beside the President and CEO of Gibson Guitars.
9:00am I start writing emails to all the people I’ve met to thank them for their support.
My TED experience was unbelievable and I feel priveleged to have been invited. Thank you to Rives, who helped us put together our performance, to Amy Novogratz and Anna Verghese who looked after us from the moment we landed at LAX and to everyone in Boston that watched our practice run-throughs and gave us feedback.
We depart for Caracas, Venezuela this Thursday where the real adventures will start. El Sistema, I’m constantly told, is the real deal and will not dissappoint. I hope so, because I’ve been bragging about it all year now…You’ll hear from me soon. | 2019-04-20T20:10:37Z | https://www.atlantamusicproject.org/the-abreu-fellows-at-ted-2010/ |

Ah, Monday... we meet again! I have to say that I was a bit sad to see this weekend come to a close! The weekend seemed short for some odd reason. But I have to say I throughly enjoyed every minute of it. The weekend was relaxing and spent at home with family and one of my oldest and dearest childhood friends, Katie! The weekend was filled with good food, catching up and belly aching laughter! There is nothing I love more then a good laugh with people I love, the laughs that leave you gasping for breath and tears in your eyes! Those are simply the best moments!
And, when I am surrounded by the people closest to me, I cook, because nothing goes better with friends and family then a good home cooked meal! Ultimately this is a dinner we will enjoy while doubling over in our chairs because we are laughing so hard! Anyways, lets transition into talking about these mouth watering fish tacos, and talking about the fact that summer has to be one of my favorite seasons for cooking here in Minnesota! Simply because in Summer you can grill anything and everything, and you can create some pretty awesome and fresh meals! I love the bold pops of color that come with summer meals, as well as the bold and exciting flavors! These Grilled Salmon Tacos scream summer to me! The tacos get pun h of summer from the Citrus Mango Salsa (also blogged about here) and the slaw adds great crunch! Make these for your next get together! Enjoy with friends and family, laugh, enjoy summer and make memories!
1- Combine mango, cilantro, onion, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss to combine. Stir in olive oil, orange juice, lime juice and spices, mix and set aside.
2- In another smaller bowl, combine broccoli slaw, onion, red pepper and cilantro. Toss to combine. Stir in Olive oil, lime juice, and spices, mix and set aside.
3- Heat grill to 350 degrees. Coat salmon (both sides, flesh and skin) with olive oil. Sprinkle salmon with salt, pepper and garlic. Place salmon, skin side down on grill. Cook 10 minutes on grill or until desired degree of doneness has been met.
4- To Serve divide slaw among 4-6 whole wheat tortillas, top with salmon and mango salsa. If not using tortillas top quinoa or brown rice with salmon, slaw and mango salsa. Or eat taco salad style with salmon and mango salsa on top of slaw with chips! Top with additional toppings like sour cream/greek yogurt and avocado if you desire!
Here are more delicious fish taco recipes from around the web! | 2019-04-23T12:18:28Z | http://www.brunchncupcakes.com/2014/06/grilled-salmon-tacos-with-citrus-mango.html |
Like any travelers worth their frequent flyer miles, the twin rovers of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission must prepare for a long journey. Unlike airline passengers, however, the rovers won't have an attentive flight crew to tend to their needs. Instead, the twins face a daunting 460 million kilometer (286 million mile) voyage to Mars. To ensure their readiness, scientists and engineers at JPL are testing the rovers by simulating conditions they'll experience en route to and upon arrival at the red planet.
Just as the twins will travel separately, they are also tested separately. Rover 1 is midway through the process affectionately known as "shake and bake." Inside the cocoon formed by the spacecraft backshell and heatshield, the rover, in its cruise stage, was placed on a vibration table and shaken intensely. Such vigorous movement mimics the conditions the rovers will face leaving Earth's atmosphere and entering the martian atmosphere. The intense sound of launch can also pose a threat to spacecraft health. Rover 1 underwent acoustic testing to test its sensitivity to sound and passed with flying colors.
JPL's Space Simulator Facility serves as an "oven" and a "freezer" for another round of the environmental testing. To reproduce conditions in space, Rover 1 will undergo solar thermal vacuum testing. In this large chamber, the spacecraft will be exposed to temperatures from -196 degrees Celsius (-320 degrees Fahrenheit) to 93 degrees Celsius (about 200 degrees Fahrenheit). The chamber's solar capabilities are known worldwide.
"The solar thermal vacuum chamber can generate sunlight at 10 times the intensity of a clear, sunny southern California day," said Robert E. Brown, JPL facility engineer.
Telecommunication equipment will also be tested for electromagnetic compatibility. Engineers must be sure that instruments onboard the rovers can freely transmit and receive data without interfering with one another.
Rover 2 is now fully assembled and in its surface configuration - the way it will look when the petals of the lander open to free it to roam the surface of Mars. Recently, engineers successfully conducted a series of mobility tests on the floor of JPL's Spacecraft Assembly Facility. Although several engineering models of the rovers had been driven, this marked the first time a flight vehicle had been tested for mobility.
While systems engineers are readying the rovers for their expedition, the operations and science teams are preparing themselves for what promises to be a demanding schedule once the science phase of the mission begins. Although long-term goals for the rovers were set in the mission planning phase, day-to-day schedules will be determined by the conditions on the planet, as well as what was accomplished the prior day.
"What makes the mission so different from anything we've done before is we're operating the rovers in a non-deterministic way," said John Callas, science manager of the Mars Exploration Rover Project. "We don't know what we'll do until we land and see what's there. Each day we'll command the rover based on what we have just learned. It's really an adventure that way."
A team of approximately 100 people will support each rover during the science phase. Teams will work in shifts that will change daily by 40 minutes to accommodate the 24 hour, 40 minute martian day. The bulk of the team's work will be done while the rovers are "sleeping" - about 14 hours a day. Data from the rovers' day must be processed and interpreted. Based on those results, the team will build new commands for the rovers to complete when they wake up.
To prepare for this, the team is participating in a series of training exercises. In thread tests, different types of software are checked for compatibility. Team members also attend "flight schools," lectures where they are instructed on specific subsystems or rover processes. The most elaborate of the exercises are the operational readiness tests, during which an exact engineering model of the rovers called the Surface System Testbed will be used in an indoor sandbox.
"These are essentially dress rehearsals," Callas said. "We'll do these tests on a flight-like timeline. If we have 14 hours, we have to get it all done in that timeframe. We'll be using flight tools and simulated data. We'll build products and commands and run them on the testbeds to make sure they work."
With the frenzy of activity that occurs before and during the mission, it is vital for scientists and engineers to remain healthy, rested and focused. The team has participated in a series of fatigue counter-measure workshops that teach how to recognize and alleviate symptoms of sleep deprivation.
"It's going to be tough because everyone's going to want to be there all the time; it's an exciting project - there are going to be new discoveries every day," said Callas. "However, some of those people need to be at home sleeping, preparing for their shift - part of my job is making sure they don't overdo it."
The Mars Exploration Rover team members are responsible for every aspect of the rovers' journey. Their reward will come when they receive digital postcards from Mars, as the rovers give scientists - and the public - new views and more detailed information about the red planet. | 2019-04-18T10:20:49Z | http://spacehike.com/jplbabyrover.html |
Initiated by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Nathan Twining and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Arleigh Burke, and then presided over by General Thomas Power, Director of the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff (1960-1964), SIOP-62 mapped out a synchronized nuclear attack by the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Army combining strategic bombers, Polaris submarine-launched missiles and Atlas ICBMs in an ‘alert’ force of over 1,706 nuclear weapons and a ‘full’ force of over 3,240 nuclear weapons delivered to 1,060 targets in the Soviet Union, China and allied states. In this Plan there was little or no distinction made between Communist states that were at war with the United States and those that were not. Some sites (Designated Ground Zeroes – DGZs) would be struck by two or more weapons, and included both military installations and urban-industrial areas. The alert force would target 199 cities and the full force would target 295.2 The planners estimated that the total human deaths from such an attack would be 108 million in the Soviet Union and 104 million in the PRC as well as several million in satellite states,3 while Kaplan estimated that 175 million Russians and Chinese would be killed by the ‘alert’ force and 285 million would be killed by a ‘full’ force, and an additional 40 million more injured.4 To make such threats credible, the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Energy (DoE) and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) conducted visible tests of new nuclear weapons in various atmospheric conditions in a twenty test series between 1946 and 1963. Even after the limited test ban treaty was adopted, they continued with underground tests.
General Thomas Power presided over the creation of SIOP-62 as Commander in Chief, Strategic Air Command (1957–1964) and Director, Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff (1960–1964).
As nuclear intimidation continued, and as other nations sought to gain ‘parity’, the global nuclear industry grew. It was clearly understood in these early decades that the dual-use of nuclear materials in nuclear energy generation and nuclear weapons served to establish and maintain national influence in the international arena. Since 1945, the supply and procurement of uranium together with coal (for steel production) has been a good indicator of a nation’s capacity to both rapidly increase its energy production with the potential to produce munitions and, for those states already with the capacity, to produce and enhance a nuclear weapons arsenal. High-energy power generation was an index of a nation’s war-making potential underlining the link between mining and militarisation.
In the following I seek to explain why and how the Australian government in 2014 has concluded a uranium trade deal with India that is in breach of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by tracing the development of a nuclear nexus between India, Australia, Japan and the United States. Just as it was in the early cold war, this trade in nuclear materials is informed by interlocking and mutually reinforcing economic and geostrategic interests that have long undermined international disarmament initiatives. I argue that changing climatic conditions caused by emissions intensive energy production, however, demand a fundamental re-thinking of this paradigm.
Of the 67 reactors under construction globally as of July 2014, at least 49 were experiencing delays and eight had been under construction for 20 or more years. China too, having planned before 2011 to replace heavy carbon emitting coal-fired power stations with nuclear power stations, stalled and re-assessed its position after 3.11.8 For the most part, China (along with the US, India and Germany) has boosted its renewable electricity generating capacity so that by 2013, it produced through wind, solar and hydro power over 1000 terawatt hours – the equivalent of the total power generation of France and Germany.9 In Japan, nearly four years after the Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns, 46 other nuclear reactors remain shut down. The Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) approved the restart of two reactors in Sendai, Kyushu on 10 September 2014 and Mayoral consent was secured in October.
Until 2014, along with China, Japan has also seen a boom in mostly solar and wind electricity generation. But this has been stalled by utilities who have refused to take an influx of renewable power into the grid or to reduce electricity prices.10 With fewer nuclear plants scheduled for construction around the world than for shutdown, however, the nuclear industry faces the likely prospect of contraction11 and replacement by rapidly advancing renewable energy options, including solar, wind, tidal, hydro and possibly geothermal power over the longer term.
New mining leases were approved in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales, and Queensland Premier Campbell Newman broke his electoral commitment not to permit uranium mining by inviting uranium mining companies to commence exploration operations. The new (Queensland) Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Bill 2014, for example, passed on 9 September 2014 authorizes a Coordinator General to overrule community objection rights to ‘State significant projects’ including coal, bauxite and uranium mines, or to limit them to concerns unrelated to environmental protection.13 This Act gives virtual immunity to large companies exploring for uranium deposits in the Mitchell and Alice River basins in Cape York and the Gulf country. Encouraged by these positive signs, along with other Japanese, Chinese and Indian investors in uranium projects in Australia, the major French energy corporation Areva recently bought a 51 percent share in a joint venture with Australian uranium miner Toro Energy for exploration in the Wiso Basin in Northern Territory.14 In other words, federal and state governments in Australia have been approving exploration licenses and the opening of uranium mines at a time when the global nuclear and uranium industry was marked by decline and exit.
While some of the larger corporations chose to wait for uranium demand to rise, many in the Australian uranium mining industry scrambled to reprioritise, turning to the newly emerging market of nation-states tipped for rapid economic expansion. India attracted attention due to its high-growth economic potential, geostrategic positioning and nuclear ambitions. As then Prime Minister Howard had done in 2007, ‘energy starved’ India’s ‘power crisis’ is again being widely portrayed in desperate terms,15 while the solutions are presented as economic expansion and greater energy consumption by a growing middle class.16 In addition to coal exports, Australian politicians, in consultation with business representatives in the uranium and minerals sector, have framed the push for uranium trade with India as a ‘moral duty’ and ‘humanitarian responsibility’ to improve living standards of India’s impoverished people.
Over the nearly four years since the Fukushima disaster, the Japanese government and corporations have actively courted more than 20 countries for the purchase of Japan’s nuclear technologies. Agreements had been reached with Jordan, Vietnam, South Korea and Russia under the Kan and Noda Democratic Party Japan (DPJ) governments, and the export of nuclear technology remained central to the Abe government’s economic plans. Two more nuclear technology agreements with Turkey and the United Arab Emirates have since been reached,19 and six more are under consideration – with India, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh. Despite the continuing negative effects of ongoing radioactive contamination dispersal from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the Abe government remains intent both on nuclear startups in Japan and on promoting its exports of nuclear technology to other countries.
A similar initiative followed on 5 September 2014, when Abbott and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi signed the Australia-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement in New Delhi. It was the culmination of the efforts initiated by the Howard government in 2006,22 carried forward by the Gillard government in 2011–2012.
After India’s ‘Smiling Buddha’ Pokhran-I nuclear tests in May 1974, when the Indian government declared that it intended to harness nuclear energy to manufacture nuclear weapons, the Australian government (and many other countries including the US) placed a ban on exporting uranium to it (France and Russia continued to sporadically export uranium under a safety clause). India had built its clandestine nuclear weapons program using imported Canadian reactors.
Since Nehru, India has justified its indigenous development of civil and military nuclear capacity and fuel and its refusal to ratify the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by pointing to the nuclear weapons held by existing nuclear weapons states. It has argued that the NPT is a flawed agreement that reflects the hypocrisy of the nuclear weapons states in refusing to seriously engage in disarmament while expecting non-nuclear weapons states to abstain from possession. In 1975, partially in response to the Indian tests of the previous year, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) initially comprising seven nations (United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, Japan, France, Canada, West Germany) was formed to prevent the diversion of nuclear materials used for commercial and peaceful purposes for the production of nuclear weapons. NSG members were obliged to cease trade with governments that did not submit to international inspection. India and Pakistan were included. Despite the bans, India went ahead to conduct its Pokhran II nuclear tests in May 1998. These were followed by Pakistan’s tests two weeks later. UN Security Council Resolution 1172 of June 199823 expressed grave concern and demanded that both countries foreswear further tests and abandon their nuclear weapon ambitions.
expressed grave concern and demanded that both countries foreswear further tests and abandon their nuclear weapon ambitions.
Despite the resolution’s unanimous adoption and threat of sanctions, the turning point was when the George W. Bush administration (2001-2009) chose to prioritize U.S. bilateral relations with India over any unified front to counter nuclear proliferation. The US–India energy agreement of July 2005 opened the way for other states, such as Australia, to engage bilaterally with India.
Meanwhile in October 2008, the Singh government overcame stiff opposition in parliament to secure national and international backing for the signing of the US–India ‘1-2-3’ Nuclear Cooperation Agreement.This Agreement stipulated that India would open its civilian nuclear facilities to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and delineate its civil and military facilities so as to ensure US-origin fuel would not be used for military purposes. In return the US would supply nuclear fuel and nuclear technologies (six reactors) and gain greater access to the Indian nuclear market.
As unanimous approval from the 48 states of the NSG was also required, the US and India lobbied hard and secured an unprecedented waiver of NSG export guidelines so as to permit nuclear commerce with India despite its non-NPT signatory status. Having granted the exception, several NSG members then negotiated bilateral nuclear accords with India (including France, United Kingdom, South Korea, Canada and Kazakhstan). In 2008 the Singh government purchased 300 MT of uranium ore concentrate from Areva of France, in 2009 2000 MT of uranium oxide pellets and 58 MT of enriched uranium dioxide from JSC Tvel/Russia, also in 2009 2100 MT of uranium dioxide concentrate from NAC/Kazakhstan and in 2013 2000 MT of uranium ore concentrate from NMMC Uzbekistan.27 While details are yet to be finalised, the deal with Australia in 2014 would secure for India a steady, reliable, high-grade uranium supply from the world’s largest known uranium deposits (its uranium resources are about 28 percent of the world total).
While details are yet to be finalised, the deal with Australia in 2014 would secure for India a steady, reliable, high-grade uranium supply from the world’s largest known uranium deposits (its uranium resources are about 28 percent of the world total).
In November 2010, in a joint statement signed by US President Obama and Indian PM Singh, it was agreed that negotiations would begin between Nuclear Power Corporation India Ltd (NPCIL) and US nuclear energy companies in return for implementing India’s full membership of the NSG in a ‘phased manner’. India agreed to accommodate the demands of General Electric and Westinghouse, which sought strict adherence to the CSC31 by diluting the CLNDA to reduce both suppliers’ liability and the time period for exercising right of recourse in the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Rules 2011.32 The US-India Business Council, PM Modi and industry executives from the Nuclear Power Company of India Ltd. (NPCIL) also devised an insurance package to indemnify the American suppliers in the event of a nuclear accident for the maximum liability amount stipulated in the CLNDA (INR 1500 Crore/$250 million).33 This was to encourage US/Japan companies (among others) to collaborate in building new nuclear reactors to allow India to ‘achieve its full blown potential’.34 In short, India would take as close to full liability for nuclear accidents as possible in return for receiving the benefits of NPT and NSG membership without the full obligations expected of its members. In doing so, the integrity of the NPT was further compromised.
Given that Australia’s uranium mining and export accounts for less than 1 percent of its hundred billion dollar mineral export business (iron ore, bauxite, coal, copper, nickel etc),36 however, these decisions by Australian leaders risked significant political capital over what has been a highly contentious issue in Australia’s recent political history.
the NPT non-nuclear-weapon states agree never to acquire nuclear weapons in exchange for which the NPT nuclear-weapon states agree to share the benefits of peaceful nuclear technology and to pursue nuclear disarmament aimed at the ultimate elimination of their nuclear arsenals.
Nuclear weapons states have had the primary responsibility to ensure disarmament of their own arsenals so as to prevent nuclear non-proliferation among other states. The export controls regime of the NSG and enhanced verification measures of IAEA (International Atomic Energy Association) Additional Protocols are ostensibly to end every possible means to acquire nuclear weapons. While Article Four of the NPT provides ‘inalienable rights to every non-nuclear weapon state’ to pursue nuclear energy for power generation, India is neither a member of the NPT nor a Non-Nuclear Weapon State and there is no provision in the NPT which permits for signatories to form nuclear cooperation agreements with Non-NPT states.
India quite rightly has pointed out the hypocritical approach of the nuclear weapons states in approaching the NPT regime. As the Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee stated in 2007, India was not an NPT signatory because it considers the regime to be not one of ‘universal, non-discriminatory verification and treatment’.37 In the same statement, Minister Mukherjee also claimed that India had an ‘impeccable record on non-proliferation… [was] a leading advocate of the elimination of all nuclear weapons… [and was an adherent] to the values of peace and non-violence’. India’s ‘impeccable track-record on non-proliferation’ was a catch phrase coined by President Bush in 2005,38 and reiterated by both PM Modi and PM Abbott in 2014.
Treating India as an exceptional case and a de facto nuclear weapons state makes even more conspicuous the selective imposition of sanctions or favour upon other non-NPT signatory nuclear weapons states such as Pakistan and Israel, or NPT signatory non-nuclear weapons states such as Iran.39 But the self-interested and strategically motivated application of the NPT was not new, nor was it limited to the US and its allies. The Soviet Union supplied China with the necessary technologies and skills to develop its own nuclear weapons capabilities, as China then supplied Pakistan. In turn, Pakistan also supplied other states that aspire to obtain nuclear capabilities. All were in a chain reaction, however, to U.S. threats to China and ultimately to the Soviet Union, in the early decades of the Cold War. While it is debatable that uranium and nuclear technology supply to India by others might serve to deter contemporary Chinese or Pakistani nuclear aggression, it has not served to prevent Indian conflicts with either of those two nations in the past. In any case, the use of nuclear trade as a strategic instrument does not ensure greater security or stability of the international community broadly defined, and this sort of leverage is not a valid use of the NPT.
So despite PM Abbott’s assurances that ‘suitable safeguards’ were in place to guarantee that Australian uranium would be used for ‘peaceful purposes’ and for ‘civilian use only’, as the former Director General of the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office John Carlson points out, the Agreement departs from two principles of Australia’s 1987 Safeguards Act (section 51):40 the acquirement of ‘consent to reprocessing’ from the Australian government prior to the separation of plutonium from spent fuel; and the ‘right of return’ of nuclear materials supplied in the event of a breach of the agreement.41 Instead, the Agreement defers to the US-India nuclear cooperation agreement in which India would reprocess in facilities built with the assistance of US companies, and leaves open the question of how separated plutonium would be used or how arbitration would apply to settle disputes.
Ten of India’s twenty nuclear facilities are beyond the regulatory authority of the IAEA and India only selectively recognises IAEA safeguards for specific foreign supplied reactors and facilities. India also refuses to submit to suppliers inventory reports and accounting processes for nuclear material flowing through the nuclear cycle. As the IAEA is not able to fully inspect India’s dual-purpose (civilian and military) indigenous reactors and facilities for reprocessing, enrichment, retransfers to third countries, research and development or the production of tritium (used as a trigger for weapons), India is not fully accountable to either the IAEA or the supplier nation with which it has a bilateral agreement with in-built IAEA norms.
So even if India adheres to Australia’s requirements that its uranium be used solely to supply civil nuclear reactors for electricity generation that may be inspected by IAEA as per the nuclear safeguards agreement, Australia’s (or any other NPT members’) uranium export to India effectively supplements or liberates limited supplies of Indian uranium for military uses.42 Nor could, in the unlikely discovery of the ‘misallocation’ of some Australian origin uranium toward military use, the IAEA force compliance. In fact, whether or not India accounts for the flows of Australian material in its nuclear fuel cycle, it is impossible to verify whether it has actually adhered to the safeguards.

As has been recommended by the United Nations (UN), World Health Organisation (WHO), International Energy Agency (IEA), Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), and recognised by the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, the rapid phase out of coal-fired power stations is essential if the world is to meet the now seemingly optimistic carbon emissions reductions necessary to keep planetary warming below 2 percent of pre-industrialisation levels.46 While two hundred licenses for coal-fired power stations have been revoked by the Supreme Court of India recently, many Indian overseas coal projects are still underway.
There are a number of flaws underpinning the logic of this activity between political leaders and nuclear industry executives. PM Abbott insisted at the time of signing the nuclear deal with India that the Agreement would be safe. In fact, the Abbott government has committed to selling uranium to an ambitious nation that barely conceals its intentions to expand its nuclear weapons arsenal and has refused to become a full signatory to the NPT and, along with the US, China and Pakistan, has not ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
Prime Minister Modi is a pro-business politician and hardliner on Pakistan and Muslim populations in India and favours a security policy based on nuclear deterrence. The BJP holds a commanding majority in the lower house of Parliament. There is little reason to assume that Indian relations with Pakistan – or indeed with China – will soften by furnishing India with greater means to project its military power in the region. The surge of fundamentalist and jingoist forces in South Asia and rising military budgets and tensions between India and Pakistan on the one hand and China and the US, Japan and its allies on the other, aggravate the security situation in the region. Further, India has been waging an on-going long-term campaign against an insurgency within its borders, and it cannot guarantee against theft of nuclear-related materials.
Fourth, the option of nuclear power as the ‘clean’ alternative is nothing of the sort. Although the fission operation of nuclear power stations may be ‘cleaner’ than coal-fired power stations in terms of carbon emissions, and although the heat from fission may produce more energy and less waste per volume of uranium than coal, many problems remain unresolved. These include the safe storage of long-lived nuclear waste, long build time of reactors in proportion to rapidly accelerating effects of climate change, enormous financial costs, use and contamination of vital resources required across the nuclear cycle from mining to waste production (including water and fossil fuels),55centralised monopolisation of power management necessitated by nuclear power generation, excess heating of the atmosphere through the discharge of excess heat through water and air, danger to ecologies downwind or downstream from venting while refueling reactors, and increased potential for large-scale and long-term damage from accidents.
Given the advances of wind, solar, tidal and geothermal energy production which have become cheaper and more productive, as field-tested in China, Germany,56 Spain and other countries, and the abundance of these sources of energy in countries like Australia, the myth of base-load power is less sustainable than it was in the heady renaissance days. India’s pitch to rapidly increase economic growth has been embraced by the transnational nuclear industry as it represents an opportunity to expand the nuclear industry, and an opportunity to diversify from reliance on the Chinese market. But when typical cost-benefit analyses are extended to include the actual costs of the above-mentioned scenarios (nuclear weapons exchange, public health effects from industrial pollution from uranium mining and nuclear reactors, nuclear reactor disasters, nuclear waste storage, renewable energy alternatives), in an already fragile ecology in India, India’s nuclear energy plan reflects neither deep commitment to climate change mitigation nor serious concern for India’s impoverished populations.
Why does the Australian, Indian, the United States and Japanese governments (among others) and their affiliated transnational corporations, continue to accelerate nuclear related operations despite these significant obstacles?
It is unlikely that the Japan-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement went unsigned because of any putative scruple Japan may have about selling nuclear technologies to India as a non-NPT nuclear weapons state. As the Modi and NPCIL accommodation of American supplier demands demonstrates, the liability clause can be flexible. It remains unlikely, however, that India will consent to opening all of its reactors for inspection.60 Rather, it is likely that Japan is awaiting an American executive decision on the liability issue and the possible inclusion of India into the NPT as a nuclear weapons state, since prior agreement would appear to abrogate Japan’s NPT obligations.
That PM Modi reasserted India’s customary ‘no first use’ policy does not mean that he does not intend to stockpile and bolster India’s nuclear arsenal. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) estimates that India possesses 90 to 110 nuclear weapons.61 In June 2014, the IHS (Information Handling Service) Jane’s military research group identified what they believe to be a new uranium hexafluoride (enrichment) facility at the Indian Rare Metals Plant near Mysore. As with its other military plants, this plant is not within IAEA safeguards. Estimated to be operational by mid-2015, it would produce roughly double the amount of enriched fuel (160 kilos a year enriched to 90 percent purity) required for India’s ballistic missile nuclear submarine fleet.62 The IHS analysts surmise that the surplus could be used for thermonuclear weapons (mixing enriched uranium and plutonium stockpiles).63 It could also be used to fuel nuclear submarines, space satellites, tactical and intermediate ballistic missiles, and multiple warhead Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (Agni V ICBM MIRVs) with the ability to reach cities in China and Pakistan. India joins the US, Russia, UK, France and China in possessing the ICBM with MIRV, leaving Pakistan further behind in terms of weapons parity, particularly in navy, air and ground forces, and missile capabilities.64 As India seeks to rival China, it could further destabilize relations with Pakistan by intensifying the ongoing arms race between the two. Regional tensions could be further exacerbated by Pakistan’s border skirmishes with Afghanistan and Iran over its support of the Taliban in Afghanistan.65 Along with increasing tensions involving US-Japan-India and China, this is precisely the scenario that NPT members have tried to avoid by subscribing to IAEA safeguards.
Since the late 1950s, there have been elements in the Japanese government (led by Abe’s grandfather and former Prime Minister Kishi Nobusuke) who have advocated the procurement of tactical nuclear weapons as an entitlement under the nation’s right to self-defence as stipulated in the UN Charter. Although the US has long discouraged Japan’s nuclear weaponisation with assurances of extended nuclear deterrence, in 2003 US Vice-President Cheney stated that Japan’s possession of nuclear weapons could be tenable if it were aligned to US strategic deterrence policy.68 As an NPT signatory, Japan has accumulated the fourth largest stockpile of ‘civilian’ plutonium, the largest stockpile of any non-nuclear weapons state.69 Despite reprocessing programs having been closed down by many other countries, Japan claims that its significant nuclear reprocessing and fuel fabrication program is for ‘energy autonomy’ by which it means ‘closing the nuclear fuel cycle’. This relies upon the ability to separate plutonium from spent fuel and reprocess and fabricate it ‘upwards’ so as to produce more plutonium than is consumed, thereby facilitating an endless loop of fuel production and consumption. In this scenario, the Japanese government regards spent nuclear fuel and stockpiled plutonium as an ‘asset’ rather than a ‘debt’.
This ability should not be understood as solely for the reduction of reliance on foreign fuel imports or even of nuclear waste. In 2009, Ernest J. Moniz, an MIT professor and United States Secretary of Energy in 2014, admitted that uranium, once thought to be scarce, was now so abundant as to raise doubt over the necessity for nuclear fuel reprocessing.70 As of March 2011, despite the recommendations by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission and the Science Council of Japan of both direct disposal and limited surface storage of spent nuclear fuel in dry casks over fuel pool storage and reprocessing, the Japanese government would not rule out the reprocessing option. If the closed fuel cycle ever did eventuate, it would negate Japan’s dependence on the import of vital energy resources (uranium, oil, natural gas) so as to achieve ‘energy autonomy’. This would drastically reduce fuel costs and would also reduce vulnerability to sanctions should Japan breach the NPT (or other international agreements) in its decision to ‘go nuclear’.
Japan’s long-term investment in co-developing this high-level technical capability has made it the second most powerful missile power in the world, and the only nation outside the US with both low and upper-tier defences reputedly capable of intercepting missiles beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.72 Given this long-term commitment, it was not surprising that the Abe government in 2013 decided to declare the constitutional right to participate in ‘collective security’ operations with the US and other allies.
This technology, and Japan’s ambiguous intentions concerning nuclear and space weaponisation, means that the US and Japan, in collaboration with partners such as Australia and India (in sea-going operations in particular), could potentially integrate not only their BMD systems but also their nuclearized capabilities. As South Korea and Taiwan have also expressed interest in reprocessing their spent nuclear fuel (as have other states such as Saudi Arabia), these developments carry strong potential for proliferation.
One of the major implications of this distributed form of ‘self-defence’ is that US Pacific Command would further extend the pre-emptive strike capacity of its global nuclear strike force. With Japan’s recent release of space assets for military use (reconnaissance, communications, navigation, early warning) in collaboration with the US, this further augments the current period of US ‘nuclear primacy’ and a return to the conditions prior to 1963 when the Soviets had developed long-range bombers to deliver their nuclear payloads over US territory. Nuclear primacy transcends the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction in its ability to win a nuclear war, which the US is proposing to do by eliminating retaliatory capability with a single massive attack called ‘Prompt Global Strike’.
Under the Australia–India uranium trade agreement, India will use Australian yellow cake to diversify its nuclear program. If and when the Japan–India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement is concluded, it will supply the nuclear technology India requires to build its industrial capacity and indirectly enhance its nuclear arsenal. Negotiated almost simultaneously and in coordination, both of these Agreements, together with and following the US–India nuclear agreement, tacitly legitimise India’s nuclear status and assist in its ambitions for greater international influence. Australia and Japan, both NPT and NSG members, have become complicit in India’s nuclear weapons program and partially responsible for increasing the risk of nuclear accident in India, and for potentially aggravating nuclear rivalry in Asia.
India claims to need more electricity for domestic and industrial growth as well as to lift a significant population out of poverty. Yet there are many factors which create the conditions for the advance of India’s poor, just as there are many forms of alternative energy generation beyond nuclear and coal which would be safer, more reliable and powerful if given comparable investment and with smart power grid distribution networks.76 To the extent that governments and corporations continue to invest in nuclear power construction and reprocessing as a source of ‘renewable energy’, they diminish the potential to stem the destructive and exponentially increasing effects of climate change.77 China, Germany, the United States, India and even Japan are presently leading the world in investing in renewable energy technology. Yet, with the exception of Germany, this is being done in parallel with plans to expand nuclear power production.
The ongoing contamination from radiation dispersed from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant came, in part, from Australian uranium.78 When the benefits of uranium trade are weighed against the potential and actual costs and damages from uranium mining, the actual risks of nuclear reactor accidents and mismanagement, the decline in costs and advances in renewable technologies, potential nuclear weapons use (broadly defined) and proliferation, and the steady production of nuclear waste, it becomes clear that state-corporate policies to expand the industry are ill-conceived.
In 2014, as in 1945 and throughout the intervening decades, uranium mining, nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons remain ineluctably tied to the formation of a global power structure of nation-states and transnational corporations and instrumental in their overarching ambitions.

44 Comprising six open-cut pits and five underground mines, the Carmichael mine will cover an area seven times that of Sydney Harbour. Despite warnings from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and UNESCO that this will place it ‘in danger’, plans to dredge and dump about 3 million cubic metres of the Reef into a wetlands sanctuary to make way for port expansions for 480 additional ships to access 330 million tonnes of coal per year from this mega-mine will use 12 billion litres of fresh water per year and will affect the habitat of humpback whales, sea turtles and dugongs. With 130 million tonnes of carbon dioxide produced every year for ninety years, this will cancel out the Queensland Direct Action target of 131 million tonnes of carbon dioxide reduction. Adani Enterprises has a dubious track record including illegal large-scale exports of iron ore at its port and numerous cases of environmental pollution. It has also been a significant supporter of the Bharatiya Janta Party. Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Citi, Morgan Stanley and possible JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have refused to fund the project while the ‘big four’ Australian banks seem to be giving their approval. India is the third largest producer, consumer and importer of coal in the world and the fourth largest energy consumer in the world. See, Mary McCarthy, ‘Darwin and Adelaide likely export hubs for Queensland uranium’, ABC Rural; Ben Pearson, ‘ Carmichael coal mine impacts will be felt for generations,’ ABC Environment , 28Jul2014, William Rollo, ‘Carmichael Coal and Rail Project: Queensland mine gets Federal Government approval’, ABC News, 29 July 2014; Candace Dunn, ‘India falls back on imported fossil fuels’, Business Spectator, 15 August 2014.

46 In support of the claim for the rapid shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy and energy savings, the United Nations’ Secretary General Ban Ki-moon stated ‘We need to limit global temperature rise within 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This is what the international community has recognised as the upper limit of safety. Beyond 2 degrees, the consequences will be unpredictable, highly dangerous and perhaps irreversible’. See, United Nations, ‘Secretary-General’s remarks at Climate Leaders Summit’, 11 April 2014. It is estimated that at least two thirds of proven fossil fuel reserves must stay in the ground and that carbon utilities and infrastructure must be developed beyond 2017 as 80 percent of cumulative emissions allowable between 2010 and 2035 are already locked into existing power plants, factories, buildings and services. In addition this will result in significant positive in health effects, job production, biodiversity conservation, energy independence and stronger sovereignty and resilience. Although several countries have moved to end public finance for coal and other fossil fuels, Australia has yet to do so in a significant manner. See WHO – 7 million premature deaths linked to air pollution and Climate Change – IPCC Response Strategies.

53 While there are conflicting reports, in contrast to studies based on dose estimates in accordance with institutional levels (such as the ICRP), an Indian Doctors for Peace and Development (IDPD) epidemiological study found in 2007 that living within 2.5kms of the mining operations increased rates of illness (2118 households) and was upheld by the Jharkhand High Court in 2007. This was supported by a study in 2004 by Koide Hiroaki who found the level to be 10mSv/y around the mine and over 1 mSv/y in the villages. The UCIL managers have used the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle to set permissible radiation exposure limits and precautionary measures and have shown disregard for the conditions of indigenous peoples living in the area.

62 Along with the P-5 states, India and Pakistan also continue to develop new systems capable of delivering nuclear weapons and are expanding their capacities to produce fissile material for military purposes. India conducted successful tests of the 5,000-km Agni-V, India’s first ICBM. Along with its shorter-range Prithvi missiles, India’s 2,000-km K-4 SLBM and its Agni-I (700-km), Agni-II (2,000-km) and Agni-III (3,000-km) missiles were tested under Strategic Forces Command in March 2014.

64 Pakistan possesses roughly the equivalent nuclear weapons as India, which serves as a cheap deterrent in the face of India’s overwhelming conventional superiority. Nevertheless, Pakistan is developing shorter-range cruise missiles to evade ballistic missile defence and is planning a long-term build-up of its nuclear arsenal and delivery systems, including tactical short-range missiles, as a ‘full spectrum deterrent’. See for example, Tim Craig and Karen DeYoung, ‘Pakistan is eyeing sea-based and short-range nuclear missiles, analysts say’, Washington Post, 21 September 2014; Kyle Mizokami, ‘If Pakistan and India clash: 5 Pakistani weapons of war India should fear’, The National Interest, 24 August 2014; Kyle Mizokami, ‘If Pakistan and India went to war: 5 Indian weapons of war Pakistan should fear’, The National Interest, 16 August 2014; Amin Saikal, ‘Pakistan must de-escalate conflicts with three of its neighbours’, Canberra Times, 4 November 2014.

Whether you are forming a new team for a specific project or leading an existing team, there are some very practical things you can do as a leader to develop a high-performing team. Here are four simple strategies to consider.
In the early stages, create a forum for team members to share their strengths and past experiences. This can be as simple as taking some time in a team meeting. Although some may be reluctant to toot their own horns, ask each person to share what she wants others to know or understand about her background and skills, and how that information can be useful to the team. This will help team members reach back into their past experiences, be more intentional about applying those experiences, and understand the variety and richness of the team’s collective capabilities.
Take time with each individual to understand what he wants to get from his participation on the team in the context of his professional goals. This will create more ownership and accountability — for you and for your team members — as they identify what they want to get out of the team experience, and as you proactively use this information to give them exposure to the areas of expressed interest.
1. What are your top three challenges?
2. What are your top three priorities?
After everyone has answered the questions for that particular area, the team members who do work in that functional area can share their actual challenges and priorities. Then move to the next area and repeat the exercise until you have discussed each area. This exercise can provide invaluable insight into each functional area, highlight common themes across the entire team, create empathy within the team, and ignite the team’s commitment to helping one another.
Last but not least, don’t underestimate the importance of having a common definition of success for your team as a whole — i.e., team goals and guidelines. This will allow you to drive alignment within the team and depersonalize differences of opinion by allowing the deciding factor to be whether something enables or detracts from the team’s goals.
As you know, there are many strategies to develop a high-performing team — and many of these may be reminders of what you already know. I want to challenge you to put one of these into play over the next month, if you haven’t already. | 2019-04-26T02:07:01Z | https://www.newberrysolutions.com/the-edge-blog/tag/team |
Beyond the sales target, the bonus, the salary. How to incentivise your team when you can’t just add zeroes to their salary, asks Simone Baird.
Great people are now picky. They’ve lived off, in some cases, literally no money for years. They know that they’re not going to own their own home. Their goalposts are different.
They’re also nimble in a way that most of us can’t begin to fathom: they don’t wait for training, they upskill. They don’t have interests, they have second, third or fourth jobs. They’re keenly aware of, and care about, social issues.
Great people know that they can, if necessary, start their own business. They can have different jobs or move into entirely new industry. That they can – and probably should – freelance on the side. Move to a different country.
Here’s a quick round-up of people considering just that.
‘No dickheads’ is a brilliant guide to building happy, healthy, and creative teams.

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has begun enrolling about 6,000 port workers and other employees at the Texas port of Corpus Christi in the TWIC program. TWIC is being rolled out in multiple phases with smart cards first issued to the maritime sector before being introduced at other transportation facilities. Initially only biometric cards themselves are being rolled out. The readers won’t be in place for another two years. About 1 million transportation workers at 147 ports nationwide are expected to be enrolled into the program by the end of 2008. The Port of Wilmington, Delaware was the first port to enroll in the program. | 2019-04-18T13:17:24Z | https://www.secureidnews.com/news-item/texas-port-workers-enrolling-in-twic-program/ |
USR Sector 1 a publicat luni noi imagini cu stâlpii de susţinere ai Podului Constanţa, aflat pe Calea Griviţei din Capitală, care au fost acoperiţi cu ipsos, acuzând CFR, instituţia care ar trebui să se ocupe de reabilitarea podului, că "a mascat problemele structurale cu ipsos" şi "a spoit problemele grave" doar în urma presiunii publice. USR solicită publicarea expertizei tehnice realizată de Ministerul Transporturilor în luna februarie.
"(...) Singura instituţie abilitată de lege să execute lucrări de consolidare/reabilitare la acest obiectiv (Podul Constanţa, n.r.) este Compania Naţională de Cai Ferate CFR SA. Precizăm că singurul aviz solicitat în ultimii ani pentru Podul Constanţa a fost cel din 13 iulie 2017, când, la solicitarea Companiei Naţionale de Cai Ferate CFR SA, Primăria Municipiului Bucureşti a emis un aviz de intervenţie necesar executării unor "lucrări de îndepărtare a unor fragmente de beton care prin desprinderea lor pun în pericol participanţii la traficul rutier în zona Pod Constanţa (intersecţia Calea Griviţei cu sos.

Succession planning is an urgent need among an increasing number of businesses, especially as baby boomers near retirement age. Because purchasing cooperatives are an important part of helping their independent business members stay independent, competitive and rooted in their communities, the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA CLUSA) has partnered with Project Equity to better understand the succession challenges of purchasing cooperative member companies, and to assess how employee ownership transitions can help keep these companies independent over the long term.
Presented by Castle Wealth Advisors and Project Equity, and joined by the CEO of BLUE HAWK Purchasing Cooperative, Lance Rantala. | 2019-04-26T04:31:17Z | https://www.project-equity.org/webinar-worker-transitions-vs-roll-ups/ |
Jessyka Allen had a good life, until it wasn't anymore. Finding herself in an impossible situation, with no noticeable way out, her job was an escape. Working at the small bar and grill put her in contact with some wonderful people, who Jess figured couldn't ever understand what she was going through.
So different but so good!!
Oh how I loved this story. This one stand-alone is a perfect blend of friends to lovers and military romance. Kason “Benny” Sawyer knew there was something going on with Jessyka. Jess has been their waitress at Aces for years so he could tell something wasn’t right. When he goes to check on her one night he learns more than he bargains for. Jessyka was in a bad place feeling trapped in a situation. She needed a friend and Kason became that friend.
As things develop between them, feelings develop and they become more than friends. He becomes her anchor as she becomes his everything. This book has the usual action and suspense that Susan Stoker is known for but it also has a bit of twist.
What made the experience of listening to Protecting Jessyka the most enjoyable?
I love this series but I'm glad I waited to finish the series till I could get the last few books on audio. I know this may seem weird to some but I started this series by listening to it on audio and really wanted to finish it that way so I had to wait a bit to finish. Susan did not disappoint me at all and this has become one of my favorites of her's that I've read. With every book I've become more and more in love with this family/team she has created for this series. They may have started as a team but along the way they have become a family. I love how Jessyka had to protect Bennie and although she didn't like what she had to do she did it anyways to save her man.
The narrator Susan uses for this series does an outstanding job and when I'm listening to the man's voice in the story I never think that is a women talking like a man I just think how much I'm enjoying this book.
I read this book when it was first released and loved it. The audio gave me a chance to dive back into a familiar favorite. Bloom is a wonderful narrator so she made this a delightful reread for me!
One Massive Defect destroyed the story!
I have enjoyed the series even though it is over the top, filled with high school mentality overly possessive alpha-male heroes, tough but battered females who fall in perfect love (with multiple orgasims every hour) and bad guys that are the lowest of the low!
The storylines are a bit far-fetched but keeps you rooting for the main characters. Certain portions with make you laugh, shout out, tear up or get a bit excited! All the major characters in this series are great and learn to work together, gain trust, risk it all and become family!
Why two stars for what is a 4.5 star series? Without giving away anything, a Seal will never ignore his training or rush into a situation without obtaining Intel first... especially when members of his team are at the given location! I almost stopped listening at that point but decided to finish!
Susan, please find a different way for the bad guys to gain control other than the soldiers blatantly ignoring the most basic part of their training. You obviously have an amazing amount of love and respect for the military which is one of the reasons that I love your novels. As a former Marine, it means a lot to me!
If you like military hero romance novels, Susan is a great author to read. 30 seconds of this book knocked it from 5 stars to 2 stars!
I really like these stories but can't stand the whiny narrator!! I have tried & tried to listen to them but can't because is the female narrator!
Would you listen to Protecting Jessyka again? Why?
I would. This story had a tiny bit of a different spin with the others. It also showed the good guys didn't always follow the good guy rules with civilians. Also, it wasn't instant attraction. The team had been around Jessyka for a long time and it when it became clear she needed help did one step up to help her.
She is a very good narrator and her voice inflection really helps the feeling of the story.
I enjoyed this book like all the others and it was nice to see one of the team's women had a physical disability that didn't help her appearance but would have made any other man think twice. Disabilities on women aren't usually front and center - she was a real character, not a runway model.
Loving this series. Totally worth the credit. Lots of action and great romance. Stoker's leads are smart, sassy women and hot sweet alpha males.
Seals are always hot, but there's nothing like a hard as nails, take charge woman. Jessyka, despite physical disabilities was smart and used those sharp wits to save herself and her man from a psycho. Don't miss her story.
Another great Stoker SEAL of Protection book. I highly recommend listening to the books in order.
You'll have to read/ listen to Protecting the Future to finally learn the source of Benny's nickname.
I love the story, the characters, but too much bedroom for me. ( yes it said it before I got it) I fast forward past that part. But I also cried because the book was that good. I would love to see more books like this, and love the story line.
Great book Susan. I loved the people in this book. I love 💘 reading 📚 books about seal men. I need some Protection in my life. I can't wait to read more books by Susan in the near future. Other great book to listen to on audio , and read.
Every book in this series is captivating and have unexpected twists. Well written and well read as well. thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are so likeable and also a different twist to this book from the others in this series. | 2019-04-21T15:10:41Z | https://www.audible.com/pd/Protecting-Jessyka-Audiobook/B017DXLX20?qid=&sr= |

More than 16 inches of dense, wet snow that fell Tuesday night on the Truckee Tahoe Airport caused a business jet to pull some on-ground aerobatics on Wednesday morning.
The snow, regionally dubbed “Sierra cement” for its thick, heavy and sticky texture, piled on the tail and rear-mounted engines of a Cessna Citation X aircraft parked at the airport.
The weight caused the nose of the jet to lift off the ground, resting on its tail in a stationary wheelie.
“That aircraft (has) really massive engines in the rear, so they tend to be a little tail heavy anyway,” said Mark Lamb, aviation and community services manager at the airport.
Business jets like the citation are generally moved from the Truckee airport when big winter storms are forecast, but in this case the jet was down for maintenance and couldn’t take off, according to Lamb.
A business jet like the Citation is generally supported by a tail stand while it’s on the ground, which would prevent the nose from lifting if weight (like Sierra cement snow) were to be added to the already heavy tail.
Lamb could not say if the Citation at Truckee Tahoe had such a tail stand during the storm Tuesday night. | 2019-04-22T13:05:47Z | http://aviationteamwork.com/heavy-snow-causes-business-jet-to-pull-a-wheelie-at-truckee-airport/ |

Jan 30 (Lagos) - The Nigerian Naira was steady against a broadly weaker Dollar despite US-China trade tensions and global growth fears weighing on risk sentiment.
With no key economic reports expected from Nigeria today, the Naira is likely to remain driven by geopolitical risk factors, the Dollar’s performance and global sentiment. However, the Naira’s medium- to long-term outlook hangs on the upcoming presidential elections and oil prices.
If increased government and election-related spending ends up stimulating inflationary pressures, this is seen impacting the Naira exchange. The local currency is likely to be pressured further by falling oil prices, especially when considering how WTI Crude is struggling to keep above $52.
It remains unclear how the second parliamentary vote will play out, especially when considering how ‘Plan B’ shares many similarities with ‘Plan A’ which was previously rejected by British MP’s. Although the pending vote is not legally binding, it should provide fresh insight into what the House of Commons desires regarding Brexit. While there are more than a dozen amendments suggested, Sterling is seen appreciating if the speaker chooses the Cooper and Brady amendments.
Although expectations continue to mount over the government extending Article 50, it is worth noting that the unanimous agreement of all the remaining 27 EU countries will be needed for this to materialize. The truth of the matter remains that one must always expect the unexpected when dealing with Brexit, and the parliamentary Brexit vote this evening should be no exception.

“We connect people. Period. That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified," an executive wrote in 2016.
A top Facebook executive wrote an internal memo in 2016 that defended the company’s growth as necessary and justified, even if the social network was used to bully someone to death or help plan a terrorist attack.
Bosworth acknowledged that he wrote the memo but said he no longer agrees with the post today and “didn’t agree with it even when I wrote it.” He is seen as an outspoken figure at Facebook, the outlet reported, known for being blunt.
The document showcases Facebook executives’ awareness of its power, both good and bad, years before the company was embroiled in controversy over the misuse of user data. Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that the data firm Cambridge Analytica misused the data of 50 million people, prompting calls for Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg to testify before Congress.

First off, I would like to credit the mods at time_and_chips for this most excellent idea.
This post is a way for the members to get in touch with the mod team here at lifeonmartha. If you have a complaint, feel a poster/commenter is being offensive, you have questions about what's acceptable to post or how to post, you think someone has broken a rule of our community, you want to report someone for trolling, or just have question for us-- please drop us a line.
We mods do try the best we can to keep on top of things here at lifeonmartha, but occasionally things can slip through the cracks. All comments will be screened and can only be seen by the mods unless otherwise requested.
If you would like to the mods to get in touch with you for some reason, please leave your contact info in your comment and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
So...um, I will admit to being slightly nervous about posting a story here. I read the userinfo, and saw that this comm is open to Martha/Doctor friendship and other usage of Martha besides a romantic ship. Do you also accept fics that feature other ships?
The story I wanted to post here is actually a Ten/Rose story (well, sort of. It's a big, epic, action/adventure story wherein the one romance thread happens to be Ten/Rose. It's not an outright romance). Thing is, Martha has a huge role in it, especially in the second story that I'm in the process of writing.
Thank you for thinking we might want to read your story too. It's great to see someone incorporate classic canon as well as Torchwood into an adventure story, but what I can gather from the plotline, the focus is on Rose and that doesn't work for lifeonmartha.
You might want to try posting it to more general oriented communities, like dwfiction or new_who. They are there for such cases are yours, with stories that feature characters from the classic series as well as different new series incarnations.
I'm in the process of pre-writing a fic that involves the plot-line: what if Rose had not been pulled into the parrallel universe? It's a rewrite of series 3, but with Ten, Rose and Martha.
The primary focus is building a friendly relationship between Martha and Rose, and both help each other learn things which make them grow as characters. The other main focus is to look at how series 3 would have gone if Rose was there as well as Martha, meaning a lot of changed plot-lines to the episodes.
It would be a 10/Rose, but it wouldn't be too much of a focus on the story as the main subject plot-line is about Martha and Rose learning to trust one-another and deal with the feelings that they have for the Doctor, though in the end Martha would realise that the Doctor loves Rose and not her - he's just scared of commitment.
I know that, probably for the first five chapters, the fic would just feature Ten and Rose, which would deal with the after-affects of Doomsday and then the plot-line of The Runaway Bride, and after that is dealt with, Martha would come in to the fic and feature prominently throughout the fic until the end.
On some occasions a chapter would focus heavily on Rose, due to circumstances she is in, but most of the chapters would focus around, once Martha is introduced, her relationship with the Doctor and Martha. And vice-a-versa.
Because this fic is being pre-written, I don't know when I would begin posting, but it would be a very long fic, probably around 30 chapters is my best guess.
So, due to the content of what the fic is about, focusing on Rose and Martha (but just sometimes focusing on Rose, for the purpose of a chapter that would expand her character, same would go for Martha as well, and for the Doctor) would I be allowed to post this story here on Life on Martha?
Thank you for considering lifeonmartha when posting your fic, but I have consulted with the other mods, and we all feel that this fic would be too focused on Rose and the Ten/Rose relationship to be appropriate for this community.
Please consider other lj communities that would be more suited for the type of fic you're describing, such as time_and_chips or doctor_plus_one. All of these communities are Doctor/Rose in nature and a better fit for the fic you've described to us.
Hi, I don't usually post in this comm but I've just started a Who fanfic which is from Martha's POV and wondered whether it would be OK to post it here.
The reason I'm asking rather than going ahead and posting is because the fic is very much Ten/Rose-slanted (like pretty much everything I write) and I don't want my posting it to cause any aggro here.
The fic (or the first chapter of it) is here if you want to take a look at it.
Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been dealing with internet issues. Grrr.
Anyway, thanks for the question. I've read the fic and it's really lovely. First person is incredibly difficult and you manage to pull it off.
You could certainly post it here as it does technically fit our guidelines. However, I'm not sure how positive of a reception it would get and I want to be honest about that. There is a very strong feeling among community members against fic that uses Martha as a tool to get The Doctor and Rose back together. It's even spawned a sub-genre title: Yenta fic. While I don't think that it's necessarily a bad thing in the proper context, the lifeonmartha members are looking for fic that highlights Martha in a positive way. While this isn't primarily a shipping comm, any fic that puts Martha second to Rose is going to be given a very critical eye. I'd hate for you to post something in good faith and be unprepared for any negative feelings.
Because of that it would be my opinion that, at this time, this story would be better suited to a more general Who comm such as dwfiction or new_who.
I'm sure you are aware of the sensitivity of fandom at this juncture and I appreciate you taking the time to run this past us. I look forward to a time when such steps are not necessary.
We love stuff like this..post away!
Actually, no there wasn't. As the mod who was leading the chats, it became too much of a chore/responsibility to do every weekend in the off season. Plus, attendance was down and we were basically talking about the same thing every week. I've decided to just have a monthly chat with a corresponding lj thread that will have a definite topic.
When Martha is on TW and DW again, we'll go back to weekly chats for a while.
I suppose I should announce this decision, but I was waiting for it to be closer to the start of the new month, as I'm setting the chats on the first weekend of each month.
Mods have stepped in to deal with the issue and the thread in question was frozen to discourage more negative discussion. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I posted a report on my trip to the NTAs, I posted it at freema_love. Is it ok to post a link to the original post there, or would you prefer I just post the whole thing here?
Yes, please. I was hoping you'd post here.
Mods, can I suggest you put a direct link to the 1000 drabbles post and the accompanying cheerleading post on the links bar? As more posts get added to the main page those two are going to get buried and the drabble challenge might well lose momentum.
A good idea! Thank you.
Just wanted to let you know that I attempted to post feedback in the drabbles cheering section -- hit the button -- and it didn't appear at the end of that thread. I checked a couple of other threads, thinking I might have accidentally responded to the wrong one, but I can't find it anywhere. So if it turns up in an odd place, feel free to delete.
The open post about the R1 Last of the Time Lords commentary has a link to a locked dl in another comm.
Thanks for the spot - it's been deleted and the poster notified they made a stupid move.
Hello, modly mods. A question: Inspired by your drabbley goodness, the folks on Loves Them All would like to do a drabblethon for offbeat DW pairings. I don't want to compete with the 1,000 Drabbles of Awesome, so I was wondering if you have any idea how long that will be going on. Do you have an end date, or are you going to just let it run its natural course?
At the moment, we're pretty much looking at until we hit the 1000 drabbles.
No idea how long that will take, as it's entirely dependent on how quickly people write.
Quick, but heartfelt, apology for my comment earlier (which was deleted by malaleen and I only read the comment by email a couple of minutes ago.). I had no intention to bash at all and if it came across like I did, then I'm sorry.
Honestly, mistakes like these are easy to make, but with the climate in fandom right now, especially between the Rose and Martha fen, is not very friendly, and the way the way the post was phrased would have not pleased many.
We realize that people want to talk about this new development, but we need to be careful that we don't bash either characters or fen along the way. So to help take care of this need, we've made a flocked discussion thread here for our members that we mods are carefully monitoring.
Please don't be upset over it, as it was quickly caught before anything could go wrong.
I started a new community for Donna Noble called walkinthedust and I was wondering if it would be okay to post an invite here?
The comm is companion friendly because after all, the Doctor loves them all.
That would be fine with us. Go ahead and post about it.
27th-Dec-2007 10:53 pm (UTC) - Brand New!
Um, hello mods! I'm brand new to Lifeonmartha, however I've been lurking since early March! Yes, yes, shame on me, I know. But I'm not sure if I'm supposed to introduce myself or anything, so please let me know!
P.S. I love this comm SO much!!

First of all, welcome to our community! You don't need to introduce yourself, but feel free to jump into discussions we're having, review stories, or make a post yourself, as long as you're following the rules set in our user info.
Hello, I'm asking on behalf of the rest of the smith_n_jones mods, if it would be alright to post about our 1969 Fic-A-Thon, here on lifeonmartha? | 2019-04-19T16:30:54Z | https://lifeonmartha.livejournal.com/311974.html |
After a patent application is filed, the Patent Office assigns an Examiner to review the merits of the invention and determine if a patent should be issued. The formal response of the Patent Examiner is called an Office Action. An applicant (inventor) responds to the Office Action with an Amendment (claim changes) and/or Response to Office Action (arguments why the Examiner’s position is incorrect).
After an Office Action has been made final (generally after the first office action), an applicant must file an RCE and pay a fee to have the Examiner consider further arguments for patentability and allowance of the application.
While the patent Examiner has a certain timeframe to respond to amendments and responses to Office Actions on the merits (3-6 months), no such response period is required for an RCE (Request for Continued Examination). It is not uncommon to have no response after six months. This not only frustrates inventors and patent attorneys, it goes against USPTO goals of compact prosecution and encouraging interviews. It also lessens the value of an interview when the details agreed upon are not recalled by the Examiner months later.
There is some good news, however. If the Patent Examiner takes longer than four months to respond, a patent term adjustment will add more time to the end of the patent term, extending it on a day-by-day basis for PTO-related delays in issuing a patent.
Another piece of good news is that the allowance rate after an RCE is higher than after first office actions on the merits. | 2019-04-20T04:27:20Z | https://www.tracyjonglawfirm.com/blog/uspto-response-times-for-rces/ |

The twins hit the official trail little more than 24 hours ago, and they have already covered some 153 miles with their successful arrival in Rainy Pass at 2:00pm AK time this afternoon. They were reported in 33rd and 34th place and are each running 15 dogs. They dropped one dog each in the prior checkpoint of Finger Lake.
I am neither concerned nor surprised by the fact that they have dropped one dog at this point. This first section of trail has been hard, fast, and warm which can easily cause problems with dehydration and overheating as well as shoulder or wrist problems. With regard to the latter, think about the anatomy of a dog... their legs are designed to go forward and backward. Icy conditions can sometimes cause one of their legs to shoot out sideways, and dogs just aren't designed to do the splits. That kind of move can strain shoulder muscles, and I know the twins would much rather leave a dog safely behind at a checkpoint than risk pressing on, especially given some of the highly technical portions of trail coming up.
Although I was traveling during much of the race to this point and not glued to the GPS tracker, I have a pretty good idea of what the race was like for them so far. After pulling out of Willow, they likely tried to keep a slower pace as the afternoon sun finally turned to dusk and they worked to cover the 42 miles to Yentna Station checkpoint. Their sleds were fully loaded pulling out of Willow, so there were no drop bags waiting for them in Yentna. They spent about 5 minutes grabbing straw and Heet (the flammable liquid in the yellow bottles that they carry with them to fuel their portable cookers for boiling water and thawing food on the trail). I also suspect they stopped to camp for a few hours outside of Yentna.
The next checkpoint of Skwentna was also a brief, 5 minute stop... just long enough to load up on lots of dog food from drop bags and hit the trail again. While the next checkpoint of Finger Lake is a sanctioned dog drop, it is not a drop bag location, so the twins would have loaded up in Skwentna to make sure they had adequate provisions to cover the 70 miles before the next drop bag checkpoint.
Sounds intense, right? And with precious little snow on the trail this year to facilitate braking, I can imagine it was one hairy ride. We can breath a sigh of relief knowing that is now behind the twins.
As to weather so far, the Iditarod Weather Center reports continued warm, mild temps in the low-to-mid 30s, but with an increasing chance of very welcome snow.
The 2 current leaders in the race have recently pulled out of Rohn, and another 7 teams are into Rohn. We have also seen our first team scratch from the race. Veteran Cindy Gallea pulled out in Skwentna, although I do not yet see why. Regardless, we wish her and her dogs a very safe journey back to their home kennel.

I am only one individual American with no special position of government, political or financial power, but I represent a much broader power base that you may not understand or appreciate. While you may be receiving mixed signals from our current leaders, it is critical that you do not underestimate the American people, our commitment to individual liberty and our willingness to back up our convictions with whatever sacrifice is necessary. So, I am glad to have this opportunity to respond to your communication to me and my fellow Americans in your New York Times Op-Ed.
It is both ironic and fortuitous that you have chosen to exercise the most sacred right of all Americans, to communicate to us, the God given right to free speech. While we often take this and other critical rights, protecting individual freedom, for granted, it is the first example of why America is an exceptional country. We are exceptional because will fight just as hard for your right to free speech as we will for our own.
Unlike any other country in the world, America was founded on a set of ideals and laws permanently enshrined in our founding documents; the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States and The Bill of Rights. These laws spell out very clearly that “we the people” are in charge of our own destiny and they protect us from tyranny, even tyranny from our own government.
It is in this spirit of the first Amendment, that I welcome your explanation of your position on Syria, the United Nations, the prospect of America taking a military action against the Syrian government and even your lecture to us about the dangers of promoting American exceptionalism. I welcome this discussion, because in a free society a healthy open debate leads to better decisions and greater progress.
You obviously understand and respect the power of free speech, as you adroitly exercised it in your direct communication to the American public. It is a powerful force which is essential to democracy, but which can also be manipulated by the political masters of Machiavellian deception. Perhaps you can demonstrate your good intentions by having the courage and courtesy to extend my response to you, directly to the Russian public.
As you have witnessed, by the reaction of the American people to the prospect of another military intervention in the Middle East, Americans by nature are a peace loving people. But, please don’t make the mistake of interpreting our resistance to a poorly thought out plan, being promoted by our political leaders, as any indication of a lack of willingness to make whatever sacrifices that are necessary to protect against clear and present threats to the security interests of the United States and its allies.
You make a lot of very good points about why America should not make a military strike against Syria. Many of us, like you, do not believe that it makes sense for America to intervene in a foreign civil war where there are no clear objectives and where there is no clear and direct threat to the security interests of the US. It is not our role to be the policeman of the world, or to punish all the bad actors. However, it is our role to defend freedom and democracy whenever and wherever we can, without forcing it on people who are not ready for it, don’t understand it and don’t want it.
While our elected political leaders have not provided you, us or the many countries comprising the Mid-East region with a clear and unambiguous position, let me be very clear about the commitment of the American people. We will defend Israel as if it were Alaska. Any threats to Israel by Iran or any other country will be considered a direct threat to us and will be met with the full force and will of the American people.
There are many ways to advance the cause of freedom and military action should be a last consideration. We must be very careful with when and how we exercise the great power that we have. We prefer the Theodore Roosevelt foreign policy of “talk softly and carry a big stick”. In the meantime, we are committed to the policy of peace through strength, and we fully support building our military strength.
As the leader of the free world, America has an exceptional responsibility to protect and to advance the cause of individual freedom throughout the world. We remain the best hope in the world for the survival of individual freedom. We are an exceptional country not just because we are free but because we have demonstrated time after time over history, our willingness to sacrifice our own lives so that others throughout the world can enjoy the same freedoms that have made America a great country.
You make a good point about how America and Russia were once allies before we became cold war enemies. We need only to look at the historical relationship between the U.S. and Germany and the U.S. and Japan to recognize the immense potential of a positive relationship developing between Russia and America. It did not take very long for the bitterness of WWII’s arch enemies to give way to the rewards, success and friendship of free and open societies. The Marshall plan is a great example of how we might approach solving some of the great problems facing our world today, like a fair and peaceful solution to the Mid-East conflict. The evidence is overwhelming. Russia and the U.S. could be partners in progress. We have much more to unite us than we have to divide us. We face the same terrorist threats and the same concerns over nuclear proliferation. We have the same desire to advance our citizens with respect to their health, education and economic success. We all want to raise our families in peace and prosperity.
We also appreciate the founding purpose of the United Nations, but we have legitimate reasons to be skeptical of it, not the least of which, is the lack of its effectiveness, its socialistic leanings and the historical lack of cooperation between the U.S and Russia. It comes down to an issue of trust, and freedom, which goes to the heart of the American soul. We are fierce individualists. We believe that the power of government rests with the individual citizens who have a responsibility to exercise control over their government. The government is there to serve us, not to control us. Every time we, as individuals, give up power and personal responsibility to government entities we give up our individual liberties. The further away (local, state, national, and international) the governmental entity is, the worse the outcome and the harder it is to get the power back. Every time we give up our individual liberties we reduce progress for all humans.
We have had our own taste of socialism over the last few years under the leadership of President Obama, and it is a bitter and disappointing experience. Many of us view the United Nations as just another large bureaucratic, ineffective and unaccountable organization diluting the power of the American citizen and promoting anti-American sentiment throughout the world.
Speaking of accountability, America faces much larger challenges than Syria. Today, America is involved in a gigantic struggle for its own soul and its future. Will we embrace the concepts of maximum individual freedom, responsibility, independence and privacy like our founders envisioned or will we allow huge unaccountable bureaucracies to take our freedoms from us? Will we succumb to the bribery of low information voters with government handouts and the corruption of giant special interest lobbyists or will we stand up for truth and justice and our belief in self reliance and capitalism which are the core principles on which this great country was built?
Unfortunately our current President seems to agree with you about American Exceptionalism. He apologizes to the world for an America he should be proud of. Oh, he says the right words to us, but he acts just the opposite. He promises boldly what he knows he can’t deliver. He hides the truth and he supports the people who work for him, who lie in front of Congressional hearings. He does not respect the will of the American people and he disrespects the institutions that have been set up to protect us. He spends our grandchildren’s money with no sense of responsibility nor does he have any inkling of the horrendous impending consequences for America of his bad leadership. He attacks our energy independence, capitalism, free enterprise and the institutions that have made America great. He successfully divides America when he could easily be uniting it. Instead of celebrating the progress we have made on racial equality, he sows the seeds of discontent. He forces really bad laws (like Obamacare) on the public against their will. He is aided and abetted by a free press that has forgot and/or ignored their critical responsibilities to protect our democracy by demanding the truth wherever it leads. We have lost more freedoms to our internal enemies over the last five years than we have lost to our external enemies over the last 50 years.
So Mr. Putin, you see that we have a lot bigger problems that America needs to address instead of creating a new one by invading Syria. Fortunately, we are an exceptional country and the forces of freedom and responsibility will soon emerge with an even greater conviction to reestablish the rule of the people over our government. We are an exceptional country because we are protected by a Constitution and a Bill of Rights and a Declaration of Independence that very specifically limit the power of the federal government in favor of the individual and the States. We are an exceptional country because we recognize that our freedoms were given to us by our Creator and no government, religious organization or corporate bureaucracy has any right to take any of our freedoms away from us. Not even Prince Machiavelli himself. Be assured that we will put our own house in order and be the world leader that speaks clearly and unambiguously.
So please, don’t let the America you see today give you a false impression of weakness or lack of conviction. We are not happy with what has happened to America over the last five years. Democracy is imperfect and sometimes we vote with our hearts and not our heads. But America always gets it right in the long run and there is nothing more powerful than a united free people that finally figures out that they have been misled.
So now, President Putin, it’s time to, as we say in America, to “put your money where your mouth is”. The real world issues are nuclear proliferation, Iran, world-wide terrorism sponsored by Islamic terrorists, and world economic success. We need Russia to come together with America and guarantee that Iran will not get nuclear capability and that those countries that already have it will not allow it to be provided to others. Nuclear catastrophe remains the biggest threat to the world and you, President Putin, could become a world-wide hero by joining America and other peace loving countries to lead a grand plan to reduce the nuclear threat to humanity. I can only speak as an individual, but I believe a world wide effort led by Russia and America, starting with Iran, would be welcome by the American people. It is certainly a much better idea than spending trillions of dollars on future wars that will surely come if we don’t take aggressive action to solve this problem now. In the spirit of capitalism Russia and its people could benefit greatly by joining America as partners in peace. Given what happened to Japan and Germany, it’s really not that great of a leap to envision Russia and America coming together in peace and prosperity.
Finally, there may be a language misunderstanding with respect to “American exceptionalism.” We agree with you that as individuals we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord. None of us by nature are superior to the rest of us. We want the same things for our families as the people of any other country; security and the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. These are natural rights of all humans and we have a responsibility to help all humans secure these rights. But this is not to be confused with socialism or communism which the vast majority of Americans do not believe in. While we believe in equal opportunity we do not believe in equal outcome. Every individual has the right to distinguish themselves (to become exceptional) through, hard work, education, perseverance, risk taking, individual choices and yes even luck. We believe in private property, capitalism, self-reliance and individual achievement and we encourage exceptionalism. Whether it’s academics, sports, business, music or community service, or our service to our country, we encourage and honor exceptionalism.
It is not dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional. It is only dangerous if they don’t earn it or deserve it. It’s like the Olympics. Every four years we get together to see, who the most exceptional athletes in the world compete. And every time we are amazed at how exceptional these athletes are. They are exceptional because they are talented, train hard and exercise discipline. This is a good thing to encourage and they deserve their gold metals, not to have them redistributed to those that were not exceptional. We do not encourage people to think of themselves as exceptional, because of their color or their political status, their connections or their ethnicity. To consider them exceptional they have to earn it.
America is exceptional for very different reasons. America is much more than a physical space with great natural resources. America is much more than a nation state with an exceptional history of fighting for the freedom of other nations thousands of miles away. America is an idea of individual liberty and personal responsibility that can help people throughout the world. America is a way of life, and a belief in the sovereignty of the individual. America is philosophy that is enshrined in our founding documents. America is exceptional because it is the best hope for freedom for the rest of the world. We are proud and exceptionally lucky to be Americans. We understand that our freedom is dependent on our ability to recognize and fulfill our responsibilities as individuals and as a country. We also understand that individual freedom can only be sustained to the degree that we exercise an equal level of responsibility as individuals and as a country.
Just as you say that “we must not forget that God created us equal” we must also remember that God gave to us as individuals the right to self-determination and there is no doubt that God did that with the expectation that we would use that right to become better human beings- perhaps even exceptional ones.

Malta Freeport Terminals lauded 67 employees who marked their 25th year with the company. They were presented with a memento in recognition of their dedicated service.
The majority of these employees work in operations, but several come from other departments, including engineering, IT, HR, billing and maintenance.
Malta Freeport Terminals CEO Alex Montebello said these employees had grown with the Freeport, which over the past quarter century has expanded exponentially to become one of the major transhipment ports in the Mediterranean.
The Freeport handled just 8,000 containers when these employees joined the company. This figure has today reached 3.08 million. And 2017 is expected to be another record-breaking year.
Mr Montebello said: “Right from the outset, the company had a very clear vision of what it wanted to achieve and has invested substantially in state-of-the-art facilities.
“But none of this would have been possible without the dedication and commitment of our people who are, and always will be, Malta Freeport Terminals’ greatest asset. | 2019-04-22T02:04:44Z | http://shortsea.org.mt/news/877/ |
"Parugu Pargu", the first song from 'Chitralahari', composed by Devi Sri Prasad, has released today. As expected, the song is catchy. It reminds us one of Devi Sri Prasad's old hits from blockbuster "Attarinitiki Daaredi". A good sign, isn't it?
Saxophone music by Martin has made all the difference to this number. Composed and written by Devi Sri Prasad, the song is crooned by David Simon.
'Chitralahari' stars Sai Dharam Tej in the lead role. Kalyani Priyadarshan and Nabha Natesh are the heroines. Directed by Kishore Tirumala, the film is set for release on April 12.
Embedded video for Chitralahari first song is instantly addictive! | 2019-04-24T00:11:03Z | https://www.telugucinema.com/news/chitralahari-first-song-instantly-addictive |
A Kanawha County Family Court judge is facing a battery charge following an incident at a Charleston hospital.
Charleston police arrested 61-year-old Mark Snyder on Monday night. He's accused of grabbing a nurse's arm and trying to drag her down a hallway at Charleston Area Medical General Hospital.
A criminal complaint says the nurse told police that Snyder was upset about the care of a patient he was visiting. The complaint says Snyder refused several requests to leave and was escorted out of the hospital by a security guard.
West Virginia's tax revenue slide is continuing as October's collections fell about $8 million below estimates.
Deputy revenue secretary Mark Muchow tells media outlets that collections of personal income, consumer sales and business and occupation taxes were all below estimates.
Personal income and consumer sales taxes are the state's biggest sources of tax revenue.
Natural gas production boosted severance tax collections above estimates. But Muchow says it wasn't enough to offset the declines.
The Mingo County Commission is expected to name a new county prosecutor and county commissioner this week.
Former prosecutor Michael Sparks and former Commissioner David Baisden resigned in October after they were charged in separate cases stemming from a corruption probe.
WSAZ-TV reports that the commission interviewed candidates to replace Sparks and Baisden on Monday. Commissioners plan to name a new prosecutor and magistrate at their meeting on Wednesday.
A judge called the inner workings of the Gene Spadaro Juvenile Center “concerning” after receiving a report from a court monitor for the Adjudicated Juvenile Rehabilitation Review Commission.
The Commission was established in June of 2011 to examine the operations and programs of the Division of Juvenile Services facilities across the state. Cindy Largent-Hill is a member of the commission and visited the Spadaro Juvenile Center in Fayette County Monday.
Judge Omar Aboulhosn heard what may be the last evidence in the case filed by Mountain State Justice against the Division of Juvenile Services.
Mountain State asked three juvenile residents to testify in an evidentiary hearing Tuesday in Kanawha County Circuit Court.
B.M., identified only by his initials for the court, is a juvenile resident of the Sam Perdue Juvenile Center in Princeton. He is one of the 25 residents relocated after Aboulhosn order the closure of the Harriet B. Jones Treatment Center in Salem over the summer.
In 1960, then-Senator and Presidential Candidate John F. Kennedy visited McDowell County, West Virginia and forged a bond with those living in the state's southern coalfields. It was a victory in West Virginia's Democratic primary that helped confirm his broad appeal to the rest of America. After winning the presidential election, Kennedy exposed the rest of the country to the perils of poverty that faced the region. In this article, USA Today reports on the way Kennedy's assassination has resonated with those living in southern West Virginia, the way things were then, and how they are now.
A hearing in Kanawha County Circuit Court will determine whether or not juvenile residents of state facilities will see a difference in the way grievances are handled and an increase in educational opportunities.
Mercer County Judge Omar Aboulhosn will be presented a proposed agreement between the Division of Juvenile Services and Mountain State Justice, a Charleston based public interest law firm whose lawsuit against the division resulted in the closure of the Salem Industrial Home for Youth and later the Harriet B. Jones Treatment Center.
Former Arkansas governor and Fox News host Mike Huckabee made a stop in West Virginia to help energize the state Republican Party during a fundraiser Friday night.
An evening that started with state GOP Chairman Conrad Lucas poking fun at an array of federal indictments coming from Mingo County, all against Democratic leaders, transitioned to focus on what Huckabee called the true message of the Republican party—valuing every life based on inherent worth given by God and not status.
The Washington Post breaks down West Virginia's transition from being a state that has traditionally favored Democrats to becoming more and more likely to vote Republican.
The West Virginia Public Service Commission got an earful from Eastern Panhandle electric customers unhappy with Potomac Edison’s billing practices during a public hearing Wednesday evening and Thursday morning in Shepherdstown, W.Va.
Customers are upset because last winter and spring they received estimated monthly bills that were much higher than normal. In some cases the electric company did estimated readings several months in a row. Delegate Stephen Skinner (D-Jefferson) was among those who spoke during the hearing.
Only days into the 2013 Legislative session, it became obvious to those eyeing the halls of the state Capitol it would be the year of Education Reform. With the passage of the governor’s bill, immediate steps were taken to improve student achievement, but some steps couldn’t be implemented so quickly. Legislators are still learning how they can help improve early childhood education in West Virginia.
How much do we know about drilling horizontal wells?
The Horizontal Well Control Act of 2011 required studies be conducted to gain a more profound understanding of all that's entailed in the natural gas drilling that's sweeping northern West Virginia. Those reports are coming due, and legislators are hearing from scientists who have been looking into the matter.
Two major reports are being discussed in Charleston this week. One looks at air and noise pollution, while another considers water use related to Horizontal Well drilling.
A company involved in the problematic federal health care exchange website has a contract to design a system to manage West Virginia state government accounts.
CGI Group subsidiary CGI Federal is the developer of the complex U.S. government website that's been hit by technical problems, resulting in long waits for Americans to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
Can the DOH take over the state turnpike?
The governor, the legislature, even a special commission on highways are all looking for ways to fund state roads. A select committee on Infrastructure is trying to find ways to save money and increase efficiencies by combining the Division of Highways and the governing authority of the state’s Turnpike, but simply combining the two would create serious legal implications for the state. | 2019-04-18T20:25:49Z | https://www.wvpublic.org/term/government?page=188 |
Background A complete remission is essential for prolongingsurvival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Daunorubicinis a cornerstone of the induction regimen, but the optimal doseis unknown. In older patients, it is usual to give daunorubicinat a dose of 45 to 50 mg per square meter of body-surface area.
Methods Patients in whom AML or high-risk refractory anemiahad been newly diagnosed and who were 60 to 83 years of age(median, 67) were randomly assigned to receive cytarabine, ata dose of 200 mg per square meter by continuous infusion for7 days, plus daunorubicin for 3 days, either at the conventionaldose of 45 mg per square meter (411 patients) or at an escalateddose of 90 mg per square meter (402 patients); this treatmentwas followed by a second cycle of cytarabine at a dose of 1000mg per square meter for 6 days. The primary end point was event-freesurvival.
Results The complete remission rates were 64% in the group thatreceived the escalated dose of daunorubicin and 54% in the groupthat received the conventional dose (P=0.002); the rates ofremission after the first cycle of induction treatment were52% and 35%, respectively (P<0.001). There was no significantdifference between the two groups in the incidence of hematologictoxic effects, 30-day mortality (11% and 12% in the two groups,respectively), or the incidence of moderate, severe, or life-threateningadverse events (P=0.08). Survival end points in the two groupsdid not differ significantly overall, but patients in the escalated-treatmentgroup who were 60 to 65 years of age, as compared with the patientsin the same age group who received the conventional dose, hadhigher rates of complete remission (73% vs. 51%), event-freesurvival (29% vs. 14%), and overall survival (38% vs. 23%).

As robots become more autonomous, the notion of computer-controlled machines facing ethical decisions is moving out of the realm of science fiction and into the real world. Society needs to find ways to ensure that they are better equipped to make moral judgments than HAL was.
Military technology, unsurprisingly, is at the forefront of the march towards self-determining machines. Its evolution is producing an extraordinary variety of species. The Sand Flea can leap through a window or onto a roof, filming all the while. It then rolls along on wheels until it needs to jump again. RiSE, a six-legged robo-cockroach, can climb walls. LS3, a dog-like robot, trots behind a human over rough terrain, carrying up to 180kg of supplies. SUGV, a briefcase-sized robot, can identify a man in a crowd and follow him. There is a flying surveillance drone the weight of a wedding ring, and one that carries 2.7 tonnes of bombs.
As that happens, they will be presented with ethical dilemmas. Should a drone fire on a house where a target is known to be hiding, which may also be sheltering civilians? Should a driverless car swerve to avoid pedestrians if that means hitting other vehicles or endangering its occupants? Should a robot involved in disaster recovery tell people the truth about what is happening if that risks causing a panic? Such questions have led to the emergence of the field of “machine ethics”, which aims to give machines the ability to make such choices appropriately—in other words, to tell right from wrong.
Instead, society needs to develop ways of dealing with the ethics of robotics—and get going fast. In America states have been scrambling to pass laws covering driverless cars, which have been operating in a legal grey area as the technology runs ahead of legislation. It is clear that rules of the road are required in this difficult area, and not just for robots with wheels.
First, laws are needed to determine whether the designer, the programmer, the manufacturer or the operator is at fault if an autonomous drone strike goes wrong or a driverless car has an accident. In order to allocate responsibility, autonomous systems must keep detailed logs so that they can explain the reasoning behind their decisions when necessary. This has implications for system design: it may, for instance, rule out the use of artificial neural networks, decision-making systems that learn from example rather than obeying predefined rules.
Second, where ethical systems are embedded into robots, the judgments they make need to be ones that seem right to most people. The techniques of experimental philosophy, which studies how people respond to ethical dilemmas, should be able to help. Last, and most important, more collaboration is required between engineers, ethicists, lawyers and policymakers, all of whom would draw up very different types of rules if they were left to their own devices. Both ethicists and engineers stand to benefit from working together: ethicists may gain a greater understanding of their field by trying to teach ethics to machines, and engineers need to reassure society that they are not taking any ethical short-cuts.
Technology has driven mankind’s progress, but each new advance has posed troubling new questions. Autonomous machines are no different. The sooner the questions of moral agency they raise are answered, the easier it will be for mankind to enjoy the benefits that they will undoubtedly bring. | 2019-04-18T14:43:19Z | http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/archive/index.php/t-15733.html?s=14fc612b732489b6ae806735c89d08c7 |

The West Linn boys swim team shocked Lake Oswego last week, beating the Lakers 86-84 on Jan. 11 at Lake Oswego District Pool, and in the process, handing Lake Oswego its first league loss since 2010.
As tough as the loss was to take, the Lakers remained focused on their many successes and on the improvement they want to achieve by year's end.
"I think we can do better. I think we can improve for district and state," said Lake Oswego senior Daniel Duran, winner of the 100-yard backstroke, runner-up in the 200 individual medley and a member of the Lakers' winning 400 freestyle relay. "I'm sure we can put up a fight. I know we had some absent swimmers today so I think we can do much better."
"We are all in the swim club together — a lot of the fast swimmers from both schools are from the same club so we all know each other," explained Lake Oswego junior Andrew Liu, winner of the 100-yard breaststroke and the third-place finisher in the 200 individual. "We just entered for a friendly competition today."
To show just how close the meet was, both teams thought that the winner of the day's last race — the 400 freestyle relay — would be the winner of the meet. And when Lake Oswego's boys — Quinn LaFond, Duran, Michael Bell and Matthew Bell — posted a winning time of 3 minutes, 28.05 seconds to beat West Linn's 3:28.50, everyone thought that the Lakers had escaped with their streak intact. But some 10 minutes later, after meet officials had gathered to confirm the scoring, it was West Linn that left victorious, improving their TRL record to 2-2 in the process. Lake Oswego's boys fell to 3-1.
Duran did his part in the backstroke, winning in 58.02 to edge West Linn freshman Nathan Rumsey by .35, and earlier posting a 2:09.11 to take second in the 200 IM (trailing event-winner William Chun's 2:04.04).
"I was amazed. I was surprised at my 100 back," Duran said. "I know (Rumsey) — he's one of my friends and we compete a lot in club — and he usually has a much faster time than me. I just stayed focused and I was applying everything I learned in training and I give him my all … for my team."
Liu came through in the breaststroke, winning in 1:08.90 to edge teammate Chase Richardson by .26, and added a third in the 200 IM at 2:13.45.
"We were all ready to go," Liu said. "Winning the 100 breaststroke felt really good."
The Lakers had more success, too, with senior Michael Bell swimming 53.06 to win the 100 freestyle (with LaFond second at 53.61), and senior Doug Heymann taking top honors in the 500 free at 5:09.37 (with Michael Bell second at 5:20.60).
Additional individual runners-up for Lake Oswego were: Matthew Bell in the 200 free; and Heymann in the butterfly.
For West Linn, junior Kevin Vu came through with wins in both the 50-yard freestyle and 100 butterfly, while Lion junior William Chun won the 200 individual medley and Rumsey topped the 200 freestyle.
West Linn's other two wins came in the relays, with Paul Muessig, Chun, Rumsey and Joseph Campbell taking first in the 200 medley, while the 200 free relay team of Chun, Campbell, Clay Barbee and Vu also grabbed first.
Next up, the Lakers will swim against Newberg at Chehalem Aquatic Center at 4 p.m. Thursday. | 2019-04-26T03:59:56Z | https://pamplinmedia.com/lor/52-sports/384171-273134-lake-oswego-boys-swimmers-suffer-rare-defeat-by-west-linn |

The highlighted sections show you the required skills for a retail personal banker.
Use the very job ad you’re replying to craft your own personal banker job description. And show the hiring manager it is you they’ve been looking for.

Diversified the customer portfolio by bringing in 10+ high net-worth individuals.
Now that’s a winning job description for a personal banker.
And even though there’s no such thing as a universal banker resume, there is a universal formula for you to follow when crafting your personal banker job description.
Reply to a specific personal banker job posting.
Go for resume action words and highlight your personal banker skills.
Focus on your achievements, not responsibilities. Show how well you’re able to perform personal banker duties.
Put numbers wherever you can. But you know that already, don’t you. Numbers are a banker’s daily bread.
Never underestimate the importance of replying to a specific job offer.
In this day and age companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to initially screen the resumes for keywords.
The ones used in the original job posting.
That’s why it’s a really good idea to use the job posting itself as a point of reference. Just make sure you’re using the right resume keywords for your personal banker resume job description section.
You’re about to impress the hiring manager with what you can do.
Have you ever bought anything, just because you were so impressed by the bullet point list of the thing’s features?
Well, you need to know that no hiring manager is going to be impressed with the list of your skills either.
Because anyone can come up with a similar looking list.
If you’ve done your personal banker description right you’ve already demonstrated all the skills the recruiter is after.
And more than that—you’ve shown them how good you are at each of them!
The thing is your personal banker skills haven’t been presented as dull bullet points.
You showed them in the context of your experience and proved how well you’re able to carry out your personal banker duties.
Would it be enough to simply paste this list in the skills section of your banking resume?
Remember, follow our advice from the previous section and explain what you can do and how well you can do it.
However, key skills extracted from your personal banker job description should also be included in a separate “skills” section.
If you’re not sure how to do it, take another good look at the personal banker resume example at the top of the page.
Blend them in your resume job description bullet points.
If in doubt, go to the personal banker resume sample at the beginning of the guide.
You have all the personal banker qualifications required for the position.
And the Bureau of Labor Statistics says the demand for financial positions is on the rise.
So do the other 299+ other candidates who have applied.
You need to leverage any advantage you might have. Including education.
Don’t simply plonk the name of the college you graduated from. List coursework relevant to the position.
This is what your personal banker resume education section may look like.
Some personal banker jobs do not require college-level education, but a minimum of high school diploma or equivalent experience.
If that’s the case, do not fail to add any extracurricular activities you’ve taken part in that might be relevant to the position you’re applying for.
Don’t forget to mention all your hard earned certifications.
In fact, it’s a really good idea to list them all in a separate section of your resume. Especially if you’re writing a licensed personal banker resume.
The same is true about all the conferences you’ve attended or been a speaker at.
If you’re not sure how to do it right, take another good look at the personal banker resume samples at the top of the page.
How About a Personal Banker Cover Letter?
If you could put up two billboards to advertise your business at a busy crossroads, would you put up only one and say you don’t really need the other?
You’d put up two to double your chances.
The same is true about cover letters.
Cover letters still matter, and they can double your chances of landing a personal banker job.
Plus, they give you a chance to prove your communication skills in practice.
Make sure it’s simple and to the point.
Fill in all the blank spaces you may have left on your personal banker resume.
Keep it organized and write it clearly.
Focus on a particular position in a particular bank.
Start out with a strong opening statement: personal banker objective or summary.
Craft your personal banker experience section by focusing on your achievements, not responsibilities.
Lay everything out in a scannable, eye-catching, professional-looking format.

Last week was joyously punctuated by a couple of splendid nights strolling through Verona, all the while thumbing my nose at gout through whilst indulging in majestic consumption. One dinner was prefaced with Franciacorta (the champenoise sparkler from the 'handkerchief' sized production area near Lago D’iseo east of Milan) taken overlooking the Adige river in an unremarkable bar with an astounding terrace, a base camp from which we hiked up the hill to Re Teodorico. The steps were conquered (in the manner of Rocky but with more panting and sweating) and a trendy new restaurant/cocktail bar/nightclub exclusively populated with lithe and fey pretty young Italians was soon overrun by a glutton (my collective noun) of power-eaters. An outside table was requested, and duly appeared Goodfellas style, and we settled in to the amazing view.
More bubbles, Durello from the hills around Verona, to further stimulate the appetite (and precipitate a hangover, why must I always mix?) and the food begins to arrive in those relatively small rectangular plates which make you feel like you could eat forever, a gastronomic Sisyphus.
First up, Morbida polenta gialla con noci di capasanta and lucky for me one of my co-diners isn’t fond of seafood so I take his portion and I push the twin beds of polenta together to make double with a great fat scallop in each side under a paper thin squid ink flavoured bed sheet. Millefoglie di pescatrice con verdure e salsa di crostacei is missing 997 sheets but the filo 3 (top, middle, bottom) perfectly balance the vegetables and crustacean sauce. The wine drinking, until now steadily impressive, shifts up a gear, and we are motoring through the Zenato Valpolicella Superiore. My limited recollection becomes even more severely hampered (and I forget to take photos again). Insalata di magatello con primizie dell'orto e pane profumato which I can’t remember but definitely ate is quickly followed by (another) Millefoglie di mozzarella campana con pomodoro e la sua "pappa" which had mozzarella in it. I may have had a risotto and then a short break before they roll out Maltagliati con ragout di carni di cortile e sbriciolata di porcini, “badly cut pasta with ragout of hand chopped meat and a crumble of penny buns”. It’s a triumph (because I remember eating it).
The majority skip dessert in favour of groaning and rubbing their distended paunches but I cannot overlook "Pensiero Stupendo" una creazione dello Chef Leonard Belluzzo dedicata al cioccolato - “georgeous thought dedicated to chocolate” and my seafood averse colleague orders something with fruit of which I eat half (heartedly) before enquiring where the chocolate is. We swap plates, embarrassed first-daters, and I polish off Chef Len’s creation then body-swerve the Grappa in favour of a camomile and mint tea and I’m done.
Next day, CRASH!! I’m back home. Lovely wife has been wrangling 2 children whilst juggling a job and the house and fridge is full of rotting fruit, weary discoloured veg and out of date cheese; thus is born “Melanzane Veronese”. Chop the dry and malformed onion ends in the bottom of the fridge and fry in lots of olive oil with antibacterial garlic, oregano, fennel seeds and rosemary. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and some squishy browning cherry toms without looking too closely at them. Simmer for 15 minutes to kill the bugs, then throw in a big handful of Cuquillo olives for flavour and to reduce microbiological loading. Slice 3 sad and saggy brown aubergines and griddle them back to health. Slice out of date mozzarella and grate those ends of blue (was it blue to begin with?), the soft white rind (possibly sheep) and the fractured yellow thing that might have been cheddar. Layer tomatoes, aubergines, cheese mix. Repeat. Top with more cheese mix. Bake for 30 minutes @ 180 degrees. Eat whilst hot to mask potentially rancid flavours. Accompany with well dressed (balsamic and olive oil) little gems topped with grated Grana Padano. There were no casualties. | 2019-04-24T16:00:24Z | http://mybodega.co.uk/appreciate-antipasti/melanzane-veronese-verona-style-aubergines |

The 9-Line Medevac Request: Get it right the first time!
Probably the most important thing for a young solider to learn is how to properly call in a Nine-Line Medevac request for serious or life-threatening injuries. In these circumstances every second counts, so there’s just not enough time to learn on the job. Protect your battle buddies by studying the Nine-Line Medevac request form regularly. Commit it to memory, and always keep a copy written on a nearby reference!
Also, here’s just one more thought to keep in mind: Try to keep your radio traffic brief so that you don’t tie up the entire frequency. Other people might need to put out critical information such as the location of the enemy. Get in the habit of opening the microphone every two or three lines or so, just in case the dispatchers need to confirm your information.
Line 1- Your first information needs to be the location of the pickup site. It’s important to put this out first, so that helicopters can start scrambling and heading your way as soon as possible. Make sure to give exact GPS coordinates if you can, but don’t forget that any route names or landmarks will be a big help too.
Line 2- The next information to pass along is your radio frequency and issued call sign, along with the proper suffix. The command center needs to know exactly which unit they’re dealing with so that they can notify your chain of command as soon as possible.
Line 4- Next, take a few seconds to list any special medical equipment that might be needed. The flight crew and the medics will start preparing their gear while they’re in the air and en route to your location.
NOTE: During times of peace, Line 6 is used to list the type and number of wounds. This isn’t an excuse to get long-winded, though: Remember, every second counts.
Line 7- Describe your method of marking the pick-up site.
Line 9- Last, describe any possible Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical (NBC) contamination around your location. Use the letters for the appropriate threat.
The actual Nine-Line Medevac form states that in peacetime, this line should be used to deliver a brief description of the terrain at the landing site. However, you should always be aware of any radiation or chemical contamination concerns. Make sure to relay any hazards to your flight crew so that they can plan accordingly and protect themselves. | 2019-04-21T20:24:29Z | http://www.infobarrel.com/The_9-Line_Medevac_Request__Get_it_right_the_first_time |
I have an RV-12 S-LSA that is used in flight training.
When the 5 year hose replacement was needed it was performed by the FBO's A&P / Rotax Certified mechanic.
After the 5 year hose replacement a very small coolant leak has developed.
Coolant ONLY leaks after the engine has been run and is cooling down to the balmy WI winter temperatures.
Coolant does not leak when the engine is running.
Coolant does not leak statically.
Coolant does not leak when the cooling system is pressurized.
Coolant only leaks after the plane has been run and sits.
There are 2 small areas of coolant on the ground, both on the airplanes left side. The first leak is directly under the trailing edge of the fixed "cowl" flap. The second accumulation of coolant is directly under the leading edge of the left boarding step.
The forward puddle is about the size of a quarter. The aft puddle about the size of a silver dollar.
In the meanwhile anyone have any ideas or a similar problem?
I should add that I am not a great believer in coincidence. If the engine did not leak before the 5 year hose replacement but leaks after it, the common denominator is obvious, however, we can't see where the leak originates.
Last edited by JPalese : 02-17-2018 at 04:41 PM. Reason: typo and material omitted.
How can you be sure it isn’t leaking during flight? Perhaps it doesn’t drip down until it sits for a while. Is there coolant on the belly of the airplane? This would be most plausible explanation, as the coolant would most likely leak with heat/expansion/pressure.
When the engine shuts off and begins to cool the opposite occurs and vacuum begins to form and withdraw coolant from the overflow tank.
Maybe check the hose located under the filler cap to make sure it's seated properly and the hose end is not split. I had a similar leak a while back when the hose developed a split.
There is no coolant on the belly.
After the engine was wiped clean and dried, the engine was run for .6 with the Rotax mechanic observing. No leaks were observed during or immediately after the engine run.
LEAF, the local Rotax distributor, then directed the mechanic to pressurize the cooling system to 15PSI. No leaks were found.
We observed the engine for another .5. It was then re-cowled. The next morning the 2 small spots were on the ground as I initially described.
Also leave the cowl off, place white paper towels under the AC will help locate where its coming from same for oil leaks. Leaving the cowl on can cause problems as coolant will run off of it in a different place away from the leak.
John, I had a similar experience on a 912 uls in my Rans S-7S. For over two years I chased a similar leak as yours. The leak never showed up when running or right after flying. The engine was completely dry after flying or during a static run up uncowled. But, I would return the next day and there would be from a few drops to maybe half an once of coolant on the hanger floor. Seem to show up more on cool nights. Tried all manner of testing and repositioning of clamps no no avail. The coolant lost was minimal maybe adding 6 oz. between annuals.
Finally traced the leak by shining a light in a darken hanger and noticing a slight reflective trail from the top of right front cylinder, down between the heads onto an exhaust pipe and then to the cowl. The leak was from the coolant return elbow on top of the head. Held on by two screws and sealed by a small red o-ring (which looked to be in good shape) the leak disappear when I replaced the o-rinng.
Just my experience , but you might want to check. My symptoms exactly matched yours.
Right Front top of cyl, coolant elbow 'O' ring.
From my understanding there are 3 places that are common coolant leaks, but for different reasons.
After the 5 year rubber change this seems to happen if the spring clamp on the 17mm coolant hoses are too far back and not up by the flared end in the aluminum tube underneath the hose. Place the clamp just behind the flared end, but not on top of it. This makes a far better tight seal. Keeping the clamp to far back towards the end of the rubber hose can allow some oozing on some engines. After 25 hours of flight time take a few minutes and tighten up any screw clamps. The rubber will settle.
p.s. All clamps on the coolant hoses are better sealing up next to the aluminum flared ends on the metal tubing.
If you live where it gets really cold then you can see a few tablespoons of coolant at times back behind the rear tire on the ground. I learned in class that this happens because of different materials in the coolant pump. The coolant shaft setup is make up of stainless, two ceramic halves and the aluminum housing. Due to different expansion and contraction rates for these materials they can drip at times during cold weather and heating and cooling cycles and drips out the weep holes. It should be no more than a few tablespoons and if it's a large puddle there is another problem.
The last place a leak may show up, but may not always be real visible is up on top of the engine where the 17mm hose 90 degree aluminum tubes are. They can ooze around where they are threaded in. The air flow through the cowl can make this one a little harder to find. The give away is some tiny wet or dried residue barely seen around the base of the aluminum tube where it screws into the flat base. This is very easy to fix. Drain the coolant down past that high point. Take the flange off and heat gun it and the tube will unscrew. You can use either Loctite 243 or better yet Loctite 648 on the threads when you screw it back in. Do not forget to use a black magic marker to mark the tube and flange orientation so it will be in the alignment you want when you re-install it. let it dry over night without coolant to get the best seal. You can see this on YouTube videos.
John, I would start by checking all four worm drive hose clamps on both 1” hoses. It sounds like you have a leak at both the water pump and the radiator. Make sure the hose is pushed all the way onto the flange and hose clamps are clear of the barb on the flange.
Sounds like a 912 on an LSA at the airport I use to be based at. Similar issue after hose replacement. The owner found that the clamps were loose.
I have seen the same thing on my GMC. Not leak in normal weather temperatures but when it got cold, it would leak. Was a hose clamp not as tight as it should be. | 2019-04-23T06:04:03Z | http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?s=d3f01d460f5d7a0181415b362ae49702&mode=hybrid&t=157619 |
We’ve all come across the lentil salad trend, but this bay leaf sensation will warm you right up on a cold winters night. My grandmother used to cook this vegan meal during lent. Although, I didn’t appreciate it until I got older and developed a patriotic taste for it. This lentil soup is filled with iron, protein, and all that good stuff! Non-Greeks be warmed, this is not your average soup. I’ve had friends try it who get startled by the vinegary tang to start - but get addicted by the second spoon full! It truly gives off a unique, rich taste. Serve with some crusty bread. Or, give my alternative side a go and try it with mash potato!
Add a little olive oil in a large pot and sauté the onions, carrots and garlic until translucent.
Add the water, passata, tomato paste, bay leaves, oregano and season with salt and pepper.
Allow the combination to come to a boil on a medium high heat for a couple of minutes and then bring it down to a simmer.
Add red wine vinegar, stir & serve! | 2019-04-24T13:02:23Z | http://recipeyum.com.au/fakes-authentic-greek-lentil-soup/ |
Last week, after purchasing some new mattresses at the department store of SM City Cebu I also made the effort of signing up to SM’s loyalty program called SM Advantage. Loyalty programs entice consumers to return to the same store in order to rack up points. Rewards, rebates, freebies, and benefits await customers in exchange for being bound to one store.
What makes SM Advantage unique from other gimmicks of other malls and stores is its vast array of choices to gain points. For instance, you can gain points when you buy gas at Petron, check in at partnered hotels, and dine in at partnered restaurants.
Application is easy. The department store salesclerk actually invited me and upon me agreeing extracted an application form. The usual basic information such as name, address, and contact number were needed.
Applying to SM Advantages only costs Php150.00.
Filling information only took a few minutes, after which I submitted back the form. Membership entails ownership of a card which I claimed two weeks later. Before that, they gave me a temporary card.
Some time later I found out SM Advantage has an online service. There you can view transactions, report lost or damaged cards, profile update, and change card PIN. Multiple card account registration is also available.
If registration is successful, they will send an email which contains the link to activate your online account.
Clicking on that link redirects you to a notice if activation is successful.
I was delayed at enrolling online thanks to the invalid PIN. By default, your SM Advantage card PIN is birth month and year. For instance, if you were born on June 25, 1985, the PIN should be 0625 0685.
I have tried again and again with my birth month and year, even in SMS registration, to no avail. It must be a bug or perhaps I supplied a different PIN during application and must have forgotten about it.
I resolved to contacting their customer service through their hotline number (02) 833-8888. I just told them what happened. Then they ask for identity verification and finally reset my PIN.
After that, I was able to register online without a hitch.
You can exchange your points to anything sold in SM Department Store, SM Supermarket, SM Hypermarket and other SM retail establishments inside and outside SM Malls.
Basing on my transactions, I found out the ratio to amount spent over points earned is very small. You get to earn 1 point for every Php400.00 spent in SM Supermarkets and Savemore Supermarkets. That’s 0.25% return from your expenditures.
On the other hand, you can earn 1 point for just every Php200.00 if you shop at SM Department Stores. That’s a return of 0.50%.
Remembering I just had my card swiped at an SM Supermarket to earn points, I noticed it was not included in the list of transactions I viewed online.
I suppose it takes a while for them to update transactions. If this happens to you and your points are still not updated to reflect those missed transactions, I suggest contacting their customer service.
Customer Service Counters are found at all SM Department Store, selected SM Supermarkets and SM Hypermarket.

The use of certain common medications could delay the recovery of patients with a brain or spinal cord injury, says a research team at the University of East Anglia and other universities in the United Kingdom. The findings were published on August 9, 2015, in the journal Brain Injury.
Researchers examined medications with anticholinergic properties which are prescribed to up to one-half of older adults for conditions such as depression, insomnia, and bladder problems. Antocholinergics are known to have side effects such as dizziness, confusion, and temporary cognitive impairment, but researchers say this study was the first to look at the effects of antocholinergics on people with pre-existing brain and spinal injuries. Clinicians in neuro-rehabilitation units often prescribe medications with anti-cholinergic properties for a variety of symptoms from pain to urinary incontinence.
Researchers studied 52 patients who had acquired brain or spinal cord injuries at a neuro-rehabilitation unit. Patients who had higher levels of anticholinergic medications in their bodies had a longer average hospital stays.
The state of having higher levels of anticholinergic drugs in a body is known as the anticholinergic drug burden, or ACB. A higher ACB score in patients on discharge, when compared to levels on admission, were associated with longer hospital stays and patients with lower ACB scores had shorter hospital stays on average. The team cautioned, however, that the research was an observational study, which means that they cannot imply a cause-and-effect relationship between hospital stays and ACB scores.

The grand opening for Scottsdale's newest casino, the Talking Stick Resort, is scheduled for June 10, and already it's being favorably compared to the high end properties on the Las Vegas strip. It's an apt comparison for the Talking Stick Resort, which unofficially opened on April 15, because, as at many of the Las Vegas casinos, the video surveillance system there was a design/build by North American Video (NAV) and M. Malia and Associates (MMA). The 1,500-camera system also features one of the gaming industry's first installations of a serverless storage solution.
"The Talking Stick Resort design/build is an example of our serious commitment to being technically progressive leaders in the video surveillance and security market," said Jason Oakley, CEO, North American Video. "Based on our experience, we understand how a sophisticated and well designed video surveillance system can help mitigate security threats that are unique to a casino environment and we view this project as a clear demonstration of that capability."
NAV was chosen to design and install the hybrid analog/digital video surveillance system after completing a series of product demonstrations for the owner's representative, SICON and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRP-MIC), operators of the project. The system design includes more than 1,500 cameras. Images from the cameras are recorded on a serverless computing platform and the solution provides both storage and server resources in a single array.
"NAV's expertise and dedication helped bring the surveillance system online," said Arif Siddique, President, SICON. "We are pleased to have completed another successful NAV/SICON project."
The Talking Stick Resort, an enterprise of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, is located in Scottsdale, Arizona. In addition to the 240,000 square foot casino, the property will feature a world-class resort offering 497 deluxe guest rooms and suites, a state-of-the-art spa, multiple fine dining and casual restaurants, a grand ballroom and a 36-hole championship golf course. | 2019-04-19T22:58:12Z | https://www.asmag.com/showpost/9684.aspx |
Evans Army Community Hospital (EACH) recently won two prestigious sustainment awards from Practice Greenhealth, a national organization focused on reducing medical waste throughout hospitals.
EACH received the Greenhealth Emerald Award and Greening the OR (Operating Room) Recognition.
Medical waste not only includes packaging and single use items, it also consists of energy, greenhouse gasses, water, food and pharmaceutical waste.
The Environmental Services Department and hospital staff members have taken great strides to reduce hospital waste, to include using environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals, microfiber flat mops, single-stream recycling and the use of solar farms.
Even the garbage is closely monitored and weighed to determine if sustainability efforts are effective.
“We have saved over 50,000 gallons of water by switching over to flat mops here,” said Winburn.
EACH is the first military health facility to implement a reusable Sharps container program, according to Winburn. This program recycles hypodermic needle disposal containers for repeated use, saving an estimated $28,000 annually and diverts about five tons of nonbiodegradable plastic from landfills.
Another project that helps sustainment efforts at EACH includes water fountains with reusable bottle-filling stations. Winburn partnered with the hospital’s facility manager, Rashad Rajab, to purchase and install these fountains across the hospital to allow staff and beneficiaries to refill their water bottles. A number is featured at the top of the unit showing the potential number of plastic bottles kept out of landfills.
Each year, additional projects to promote sustainability are created, researched and implemented if they are found to be viable solutions to recycling needs. Each project not only brings EACH closer to Fort Carson Net Zero goals, but it is also another opportunity to compete for sustainability awards, such as those offered by Greenhealth.
This year marks the sixth year EACH has entered the competition, the fifth time the hospital earned the Emerald Award and the third time it earned Greening the OR Recognition.
During the ceremony, Winburn accepted both awards on behalf of the hospital and stated that all the staff and the command team were essential in winning the award. | 2019-04-23T01:01:00Z | https://www.fortcarsonmountaineer.com/2018/11/each-earns-sustainment-awards/ |
some of you may know. And for those who do not I play several different instruments I play the Piano I can strum a feud turns on a guitar (not very good) can play the drums very well, but most of all I can play the Scottish Bagpipes.
I actually used to play in a bagpipe band for North Miami Beach Senior High, in full battlefield Scottish Kilt.
I am one third Irish, the last time I played the pipe and dressed and might kill was at my mom's funeral 11/21/2002 the song I piped out was "Amazing Grace" although I am not very religious as a matter of fact I do not believe in religion at all sorry that is my personal feeling, and after that I don't think I will ever played the pipes again.
The few days after her funeral I took my kilt and my pipes in a quiet ceremony by myself and burned them.
People wonder why I am so depressed through the holiday's,... I have buried too many friends and family and people that are very very close to me through the months of October and November.
all starting with my fiancé Durand Lewis, on the way to our wedding when I was 19 was hit by a drunk driver and lost her life in the accident.
But this is not only goes out to her, but also goes out to every individual all around the world who has laid down their life so we as humans can sleep in peace, I think all of the brave souls all of the firefighters, policemen and women, and soldiers who put their lives on the line for us every day so we can enjoy a our freedoms are holidays and our loved ones.
Words can't say what needs to be said, so in turn, please accept this tight warm hug. | 2019-04-25T18:26:10Z | https://inkbunny.net/j/3315 |
