Am I missing something, or is blog commenting still immature? I read about 80 blogs currently, and do it mostly through an RSS reader (Thunderbird), as it’s the only way to keep up with that volume. It’s straightforward to keep up with the posts themselves - they appear in a separate list for each blog, typically sorted by time posted (at least that’s the way Thunderbird presents them).\nCommenting, on the other hand, is a different matter. On my own blog it’s not too bad: if someone posts a comment about one of my posts, or in reply to comments I’ve made, I get notified by email, because I’m the owner of the blog, and Wordpress (which seems pretty close to the state-of-the-art in blogging software) sends an email to tell me that’s happened. Even on my own blog, though, there is no notion of hierarchy to comments: they just appear in a stream (in other words, there is no notion of ‘replying’ stored with a comment). This can make pulling out longer threads of conversation tricky.\nIf I make a comment on someone else’s blog, though, I get no notification at all. Many blogs provide no way of keeping up with the comments: I have to go and check all the posts I’ve been interested in, on the web, to check whether anyone has added anything to them. Even when the blogging software provides an RSS feed for comments, like Wordpress does, the comments for all the posts are lumped together - there is no separation by the post they apply to - primarily, I think, because neither RSS nor Atom provide the notion of hierarchies in the entries syndicated. This also means I have to subscribe to two RSS feeds for blogs where I’m interested in both the posts and the comments.\nCurrently, these things aren’t a major issue for me, more an annoyance, as I tend to only comment on (and be interested in the comments on) a few blogs, but if I spent more of my time reading blogs, this would really begin to get on my nerves. I also avoid commenting sometimes because I think I’ll forget to check the reply. This is what makes me wonder whether I’ve missed something: how do other people cope with this? Maybe I’m expecting too much: I have an mental model whereby I want the RSS reader to act in a similar manner as a newsgroup reader by notifying me of the new comments, attached to the post or comment that they apply to. Maybe that’s more than the designers of RSS had in mind.\ncocomment.com looks like it would do the job well, but of course it is another thing to remember to check, so for the time being I'll leave it alone until I have a more compelling need. I agree, dps, trackbacks are good - that's exactly what Andy from The lost outpost has done here. The question I now have to answer is, do I comment on what he's said on my blog, his blog, or both? Argh... :) I can't help but feel that the right way to fix this is via hierarchical support in Atom. But there must be an exisiting solution, surely?\nIndeed - needs work. I like trackbacks better than comments as it allows you to have more of a voice, the original author can then respond to your post either by commenting on your (reply) post or a new top level post + trackback on their own site, but its sooo klunky.\nI'd love a good answer to this too. I frequently make a comment somewhere and then immediately forget about it. I'm aware of a site called cocomment.com (I think) but I didn't explore it very much. I, also, can't help thinking that I've missed something though. |
Investing £2.6m in the new robots, they will enable Mabey’s C200 bridging system to be manufactured more quickly, safely and efficiently, halving the manufacturing time for the C200’s panels and chords.\nPrior to the robots, existing automated welding systems performed several functions in the manufacturing process including making the panels and chords of the C200 bridges, with smaller welds being completed by hand. Panels and raw materials were also manually transported between three separate machines.\nIn contrast, the new robots – which include one that is the first of its kind to be used in the UK for making steel bridges – form one complete cell to manufacture both chords and panels, thereby removing the intermediary steps. Employees load the raw materials, at which point the robots take over and manoeuvre the heavier components, weld all sections together and make it ready for drilling.\nMichael Treacy, Chief Executive of Mabey Bridge, said: “Now operational, our investment in the next generation of industrial robotics demonstrates our commitment to investing in and accelerating our own manufacturing and construction processes.\nNow operational, the robots ensure Mabey’s Lydney factory has the capacity to manufacture up to 2km of steel bridging a month.\nAvailable to hire or buy, Mabey’s Compact 200 system is one of the world’s most widely used modular bridging products. The system uses standard, interchangeable steel components to provide robust, rapidly deployed and erected solutions for permanent bridges, temporary bridges, rural bridges, access bridges, floating bridges, footbridges and emergency and contingency bridging applications. |
Inmates serving more than two days have the option three times a week to purchase commissary (snacks, hygiene products, stationary, stamps, cards, etc.). People wanting to place money in an inmate's commissary account may do so by bringing cash (change will not be made) to the Linn County Correctional Center lobby window or by mailing a money order, made payable to the inmate, to the Linn County Correctional Center (P.O. Box 608, Cedar Rapids, IA 52406). The lobby window is closed daily from 3 p.m. - 4 p.m. Inmates order commissary on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings before 5 p.m. and it is delivered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.\nWith approval from the inmate, financial items can only be released after proof is shown you are listed on the account or proof is shown that you are the financial power of attorney for the inmate. This must also be approved by the Jail Administrator. |

The New Brunswick government defended its providing payroll rebate to Salesforce.com Inc. even as the California-based cloud computing company announced it was cutting a third of its workforce in the province.\nThe provincial government has to invest in the private sector and the incentive program is needed in order to attract companies and keep jobs in the province, said New Brunswick Energy Minister Craig Leonard.\nSalesforce acquired Saint John, N.B.-based social media monitoring tool developer, Radian 6 in 2011. However in October that year, the company laid off 100 workers globally some four months after Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) announced it would create 300 new full-time jobs in Fredericton and San John with the help of a $3.8 million payroll rebate from the New Brunswick government.\nLast week, Salesforce confirmed that it was once more shedding some 200 jobs. Approximately one-third of the employees impacted by the latest round retrenchment are located in New Brunswick.\nLeonard said New Brunswick’s payroll rebates are only paid out if jobs remain in place. He said the government will not lose any money if Salesforce cuts positions located in the province.\nSalesforce paid more than $300 million for Radian 6 whose technology tracks social media conversations from sites such as FaceBook, LinkedIn and Twitter.Radian6’s technology. |

Steven de Peven has always been the somewhat quiet partner in Rednose Distrikt, maybe simply overshadowed by the solo work of his colleagues Aardvarck and Kid Sublime. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago, that he started putting his own name on the musical map, most notably through collaborations with fellow Dutchmen Tom Trago and San Proper. That is about to change with his first solo album under his Awanto 3 alias, forthcoming on the renowned Rush Hour label.\nThe vinyl version of “Opel Mantra” will be split over three discs, the first part seeing the light of day on next Monday, February 24th, and featuring a remix from Jameszoo.

Stock photo. NOT my clients!!\nI'm coming off my longest birth yet. I'll let my client tell her own birth story, but I wanted to say a few things while it's still fresh.\nAlways. This sweet couple took my Bradley Method® classes in my home in Lewisville, Texas and hired me as their doula. They had a birth plan, made informed choices and even switched from an OB (obstetrician) at Baylor Grapevine to a midwife at the lovely Grapevine Birthing Center. My client got the birth she was looking for, just in a different location than she had planned, and that's OK!\n2. Healthy mom and a healthy baby go hand in hand.\nMy client had a long labor. I provided in-person doula support for exactly 24 hours! But no one rushed her. My client was healthy, her baby was healthy, so we waited. We are all grateful for the midwife's and OB's patience. My client and her husband were treated with the utmost respect and gentleness at Baylor Grapevine and Grapevine Birthing Center.\n3. I got over myself.\nI have avoided going inside that hospital due to my own issues, as I had my first son via cesarean there. Even four years after the fact, I'm still healing and processing the choices we made back then because I was so ill-prepared at the time. I took a bathroom break shortly after we arrived to the hospital and texted my husband: "It is really really hard for me to be here. I'm trying really hard to get over myself. But if I even for a second think about it I tear up". To which he wisely and lovingly replied: "You can do it! Channel your pain into helping her have a better birth there than we did!". While it's not my job to make sure my clients have a "better birth" than mine, it IS my job to support them in their choices. It was a true pleasure to do so and I was able to overcame my mental roadblocks at the same time. Congratulations to them and Merry Christmas to you! |
POU homeodomain proteins are important regulators of ubiquitous as well as tissue-specific transcription. These factors include the broadly expressed octamer motif-binding protein Oct-1 and the related cell-specifically expressed protein Oct-2. These two proteins differ in the types of octamer motif-containing promoters they preferentially activate; Oct-1 can activate RNA polymerase II transcription from a small nuclear RNA promoter better than Oct-2, which can better activate an mRNA-type promoter. We describe a variant Oct-1-encoding cDNA resulting from two separate alternate splices of the human oct-1 primary transcript; these alternate splices were present in all cell lines tested. This cDNA encodes an amino-terminally and carboxyl-terminally truncated form of Oct-1, called Oct-1B, which retains the DNA-binding POU domain and acquires a unique 12-amino acid carboxyl-terminal extension. In a transient expression assay, Oct-1B displayed an enhanced ability compared to the larger form of Oct-1 (called Oct-1A in this report) to activate the human histone H2B promoter, an mRNA-type promoter where a natural octamer motif is involved in cell cycle dependent transcription. Thus, the ability of Oct-1 related proteins to activate a natural regulatory target can be influenced by alternative splicing. |
Here is a list of our 2011 read alouds.

Most books by this author are worth reading out loud for their humor and happiness. Completed Jan 11.\n5.Augustine Came to Kent by Barbara Willard (8-18) This is a very moving story of missionaries sent from Rome to England in 597 AD. I have now read it aloud twice to my children. Each time I found it difficult not to cry, but the younger children noticed no sadness. I suppose everyone experiences what he or she is ready for. Completed Jan 13.\n6.Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome (8-18) So much fun and excitement! We had a blissful holiday, camping on an island, and enjoying sailboats, pirates, parrots, treasure, and wild imaginations.

(8-45, read by my husband to the entire family).\n10.We Never Meant to Go to Sea by Arthur Ransome (8-18). Exciting, believeable, unbelievable, and thoroughly enthralling. I read half of the book out loud one afternoon and evening. We had a wonderful time. Completed sometime in February.\n11.The Adventures of Reddy Fox by Thornton W. Burgess (8-18). A delightful blend of fun, excitement, humor, and wisdom. Reddy Fox is so foolish and so familiar! I’ve enjoyed Burgess’s books since I was a little girl. Completed February 22.\n12.Old Mother West Wind by Thornton W. Burgess (8-15). Completed mid-March.\n14.The Lone Muskrat by Glenn Rounds. (8-15) Full of fascinating observations, woven into story form. It’s neat to read this in tandem with the Thornton W. Burgess books. Completed late March.\n15.The Life of Charlemage by Einhart. (8-15) Written more than a millenium ago. Much too difficult for Miss 8, but interesting for the rest of us.\n…I think I’ve forgotten a few titles.\nCaptains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling–we did not finish this, because the dialect was too difficult for me to read and the young children to understand.\n16.Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (8-18).\n17.What Katie Did at School by Susan Coolidge (8-18).\n18.Robinson Crusoe, (unabridged) by Daniel Defoe (8-16).\n19.Peter Duck by Arthur Ransome (8-16). |

Shekhar's (Raj Kapoor) maternal grandmother Nani (Lalita Pawar) is a very loving person, and loves Shekhar dearly as a mother. She is also very religious and firm in her beliefs. She believes that every man must have a male heir to carry on the family's name. Therefore, she will only permit Shekhar to marry a woman who will bear him a son. Shekhar presents his Nani with Sunita (Waheeda Rehman), the girl he plans to marry. Nani finds out that Sunita cannot bear any children and disapproves of her. Shekar and Sunita marry anyway, and to pacify Nani, pretend that a friend's son is their's. But for how long will the shrewd Nani allow the wool to be pulled over her eyes? |
Speaker Series returns to R.T.M.\nOne of the most popular programs for local people at the Royal Tyrrell Museum is about to pick up again for the spring. Dr. Dave Eberth. Photo submitted.\nThe Speaker Series will run at least into March, with seven presentations outlined on the museum's website.\nThe first one, this Thursday January 19, features the Tyrrell's lead geologist, Dr. Dave Eberth, talking about some of the work that was done in the past year.\n"Looking at a block of 24 gar fish that were preserved 63 million years ago; it's a unique block worldwide because the fish are actually found in three dimensions, floating if you will, in the rock. That's never seen," he revealed.\nEberth will also cover the visit to the valley last summer by two scientists from NASA who wanted to test their rock and soil dating equipment and efforts made the pin down the true ages of fossils.\n"When I started in the business, plus or minus a million years was what we were satisfied with," he recalled. "Now, we're down to plus or minus 20,000 or 30,000 years and that's well within the range of being able to assess rates of evolution."\nThursday's talk gets underway at 11:00 a.m. in the museum auditorium. Admission is free, but what if you can't make it?\n"They'll be available online," Eberth assured us. "That's one of the cool things about the talks is you can sit down and enjoy them, even if you can't come up to the museum you can enjoy them at your liesure online." |

Don't let those questions be rhetorical. If you search for answers, this arduous time is an opportunity for self-growth and reflection.\nI suffer from a few chronic illnesses and honestly I am frustrated when they interfere with my personal and professional goals. Working through that frustration was a process I struggled with internally; it challenged my sense of self-reliance and accomplishment. "I can do it all! I can reject this part of me!"\nNot quite. Those illnesses had other plans.\nChronic conditions are part of who I am as a person and acceptance is part of the growth and healing process. In my journey of frustration, I reflected on a few topics and questions that might be helpful to you all.\n1. What is important in life?\nWhat do you value and what matters to you in this life? What drives you and gets you motivated about your day, week, and beyond? Powerful motivators include financial security seen in a positive light, knowledge, family, truth, connections with others, and spiritual well-being.\nThat itchy, unsettling feeling inside? That’s incongruence when you don’t live according to your values. You wouldn’t be getting upset over something that didn’t matter.\nThe more aligned you are to your values and beliefs, the greater authenticity is in your life. If you can focus on what's important to you and work to align your actions and values, the richness and meaning outweighs, I’ve found, the hardships that occur.\n2. What can and can’t I control?\nI often explore this concept with clients and it’s amazing what our minds want to believe. You want to believe that you have a sense of control. It's normal to grasp at a sense of security. But the world isn’t safe and you don’t have control over tomorrow's events. Even with a good plan, you never know what will really happen.\nIs that just accepting defeat? Absolutely not.\nDefeat comes when you give up on things you do have control over. I’m reminded of a quote by Melody Beattie.\nYou’re in control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You're responsible and have agency over yourself and only yourself. Once you understand this, you can see what areas you can release and focus on what’s within your command.\n3. Lastly, what grounds me?\nThe term “being grounded” refers to being in the present moment. This process of self-soothing can occur through a connection with a constancy. Is there something in your life that anchors you in a safe way? Something that keeps you from drifting off into feelings of frustration, of historical trauma, or of overwhelming pressures?\nThese grounding connections come in all forms. Maybe it’s an affirmation about your identity and what brings you back to reality: "I am a wonderful, work in progress." Maybe it’s a relationship you can depend on with a friend or sibling. It could be drawing on the constancy of God.\n"Faith begins when self-sufficiency ends. It starts when I realize that my best is not 'good enough'. And that’s okay. I’m not perfect. It formulates when I understand that I cannot always do what I plan to do. I do not have the capacity, skills, knowledge, or power to save others from their own hells. I cannot generate miracles and make good things happen by myself. I cry out to my Abba Father, my Heavenly Father, my Savior. I release whatever that is weighing on me and I know that I cannot give up. I will not give up. I am powerless and flawed. And that is fine, because my faith is now starting to begin."\n1. How can I zoom out and see the direction I want to take in life?\n2. How can I zoom in on myself and reality test what my control capacity is like?\n3. What or who can I attach to that is unchanging and gives hope I can draw on during a challenging chapter in my life?\nThe act of asking and sincerely seeking answers to these questions changes a complaint into a powerful exercise in reflection and self-efficacy.\nIf you're like me, you grew up in a religious, rule-saturated culture. Attendance was nearly perfect for almost all church services, Bible studies, and church-related activities. The correct answer to "how often should you pray and read the Bible?" was: all the time.\nIf someone asked how you or your family were doing, what they really wanted to know was, "What are your weaknesses?" And you knew the right answer: You worked too hard. You're too devoted to family, schoolwork, church obligations. You didn't answer that you struggled with staying organized or managing your guilt. You didn't reveal that some days were hard.\nOf course, this isn't everyone's experience with Christianity. I'm not mocking devotion, passion, or commitment. Rather, I'm trying to reveal unrealistic tasks, expectations, and rules. They're inauthentic and repressive. This is my experience and I have frequently seen it in individuals in my therapy practice.\nTrying to fit into a box of what's "right".\n... Do any of these sound familiar?\nGod doesn't want us to live this way. He wants us to have freedom.\nThe stigma, guilt, and toxic shame do need to be addressed, and therapy can be a place of healing and integration. Below are a few common misconceptions associated with Christianity and mental health.\n1. Having a mental illness means being a failure as a Christian.\nBeing a Christian does not guarantee a carefree life. Both Christians and non-Christians are vulnerable to natural disasters, financial hardships, familial struggles, trauma, and mental illness. Being Christian does not mean being immune to being human.\n2. Going to a psychotherapist means relying on someone other than God. It's betrayal and misplaced trust, finances, and time.\nA psychotherapist has clinical training that includes providing research-based tools to help a client alleviate symptoms. The work in therapy can also help with navigating through confusing and stressful feelings. A therapist is more of a partner, facilitator, or ally, not someone you put your trust and hope in.\n3. There is no such thing as "good enough" in Christianity. There is "perfection" and "not good enough".\nWell, there is also humility to seek help. What we call imperfection or I'm-a-piece-of-crap, is one thing. Seeking assistance for restoration and growth is another. Take the risk to start your healing process.\nAre these misconceptions relevant in your life today, keeping you in a box of "perfection"? Where can you truly be authentically you, even if it includes sharing the less-than-ideal aspects of yourself? Maybe it's with a trusted friend or a close family member. It starts with trust and a willingness to be vulnerable.\nWhen we tear about the misconceptions, we can see that counseling can be an option. One benefit of counseling is that it's a safe space to say what's on your heart without the fear of judgment or criticism. The role of a psychotherapist is to support you towards your goals.\nI offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit working together.

Let's talk about it over dinner. I just need to rest a little. I have a shower every night. You're just guessing. What on earth do you think you're doing? Put that knife where the children can't get at it. Jesus denied the charge. I think the worst is over now. She showed him her ankle. All of you betrayed Hilda.\nAnton is in danger, too. He isn't like his brother. I think that's an unreasonable demand. That was really quite amusing. Why don't you join in the conversation? These are common diseases of children. In most Western countries, young people come of age at 18 or 21. What time is the world going to end? Mickey is having a very hard time trying to figure out how to do that. Its long neck resembles that of a horse.\nI would do anything but that. Did it work? I don't know why Sid hates me so much. Can you gather all of the papers together? This is the first time I've ever seen Gigi smile. Sometimes, I think about the future, and I forget to breathe. This painting will pass for genuine. He does not have a particle of honesty in him. Mr White punished the boy for cheating on the examination. I'm not arresting her.\nShe knows she's looking fine. This box is made of paper. I think that maybe you're right. We made a check of the student' records. Laurie is from Australia. I don't deserve this and you know it. And it's here that you are wrong! Have you been out here all night? Did you close your bedroom's door? She is wearing a gold necklace around her neck.\nYou've never forgotten to send your mother a birthday present. He promised me that he won't tell anybody. "You're lying!" "No, I'm not." Father, save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! What are you planning on doing? The door opened and Winnie walked in. Several witnesses subsequently recanted their statements claiming coercion. Tennis is my favorite sport. I'm pretty tall. The decision was unavoidable.\nYou have told another lie. So long, see you later. I invited her to the movies. My apartment was robbed last week. Clayton got out of the pool and then jumped back in. My most interesting Canadian friend is Ronald. Dewey named his puppy Cookie. Carol never knew what happened. The boy was naked to the waist. I don't know how to express my gratitude.\nWe're going to do as much as we can. I have to have a little chat with Stephanie. School begins at eight-thirty. I'm not at all surprised. Can you stop doing that? I had a glimpse into the negative side of his character. My family loved him. I really don't want to talk about it. I'm unemployed and so I'm unable to save anything at all. I just hurt my back.\nAre you sure you wouldn't like anything else? Where do you live, exactly? I will quit that party. The ground was covered with frost this morning. I've been feeling the same way. What do you feel like doing now? They believed they were in the majority. I see what you're doing. You must be mad! One old man came to Jackson from Albany, New York.\nSome women are bad. Edward didn't get up early enough to catch the first train. I figured you must be hungry by now. I don't trust them. Do you hear the bird singing in the cage? I have cheated on my wife. May I have this dance? Boy, was I mistaken. I think it's time for me to buy a house. You've been in Boston way too long.\nHe lost his eyesight in the accident. Tell them I feel fine. Will has a desire to be wealthy. Sekar told Charlie not to use baby talk when talking to their little daughter. Appealing to the lowest common denominator is a failproof way to get sales or votes.

Yet more famous faces. I noticed a young looking Gina Mckee who plays Ray's girlfriend, Joanne Turner. Little does he know that she is an under cover detective. I also noticed another familiar face, Shaun Curry. He plays Jeff, a friend of Arthur's. We get to see him at the funeral in the beginning and at the end of the episode. He played the ex-disgraced police officer, Sprott in the episode Sorry Pal, Wrong Number back in 1983.\nWeird episode this, lots of build up and then a real anti climax with the ending...left me shaking my head.\nThis is indeed a head scratcher. It promises a lot and the more I watch it the more I think the conclusion was probably the only way out for Arthur, other than fitting Hambury up somehow.\nWatching in transmission order, this one comes after 'Three Cons Make A Mountain' which again plays on Arthur's 'former villain' contacts. In this one Hambury is portrayed as Premier League villain which puts Arthur way out of his depth in terms of 'agg'.\nThe more I watch Ray Daley episodes the more I generally prefer the stories in series 9 & 10. Although I like series 8 I think the scripts are weaker and the real relationship between Arthur & Ray is still being established. I agree the ending leaves you a bit puzzled as what Arthur does is very much out of place.\nWould have been interesting to see Ray confront the undercover copper as well.\nI was thinking that Tommy was getting all the stuff sent to Arthur as a diversionary tactic. So the old bill would be using all their resources on watching Daley, freeing up Hambury's team to do the 'bizo' elsewhere.\nBut a great bit though when Morley realises the heavy Old Bill are after Arthur...and he's after a Chief Super!!\nWatched last night and I quite liked it, thought it had a lot of good lines in it. As for the posts above on about promise then ending badly, my interpretation of it was that Arthur was being used, as Hambury was known to use small time villians for his big jobs who would "disappear" afterwards. If they did follow through with this Arthur would have been in big trouble, so it all ended nicely with Hambury "swimming with the fishes" down at Southend Pier. We all know Arthur isn't premier league, so we are left not knowing what the job was, but I agree that I think Arthur was being used to divert the police. I would have liked to have seen the scenes showing Ray being beaten up, you know something is going down in the pub and it would have been good to see it through.\nI think on balance they played the comedy card more than the drama one.\nGina McKee, I think is just lovely and still looks great now. I think the change in how females are portrayed in the RD episodes compared to the Terry ones, shows a huge difference in the times.\nIf they did follow through with this Arthur would have been in big trouble, so it all ended nicely with Hambury "swimming with the fishes" down at Southend Pier.\nAs I remember the thing that bothered me about that is we're told Hambury jumped into the swimming pool to save Arthur when he took a tumble during the wake. For a relatively strong swimmer to just disappear into the depths like that seems unlikely. I suppose he could have banged his head on the way down.\nI wonder if the writer did not know how to end the episode, so decided on the accident?\nThere are elements in this story that could have made a good episode but here they just don't seem to come together. I thought this episode was strange and the tone seemed to shift with each scene. The ending is odd and kind of seems like it was decided on just before filming it.. My biggest complaint is that it drags. The fifty minutes of this episode felt twice as long.\nMany of the Ray Daleys have a strange atmosphere - especially with the "mystery" music that is used.\nI enjoyed this much more the second time.\nAn okay episode but a bit contrived. Michael Gambon was good in this but for me his best role on tv was as Philip Marlow in The Singing Detective. This is another good episode if (like me) you admire women wearing nylons. Gina McKee looked great in those sheer black tights and the scene where a woman gets thrown into a swimming pool at the wake in just her black underwear stockings and suspenders was delightful titillation.\nIn a weird way the ending reminds me of North by Northwest. You think Cary Grant and his girlfriend are in mortal danger, but then the last shot is a happy ending. The penultimate scene is quite dark and we fear for Arthur as Tommy is known as a unpleasant piece of work. Arthur is uncharacteristly brave, telling Ray he will meet Tommy on his own.\nMorley’s reaction to Arthur attending a top gangster’s funeral is funny and probably gives us an idea of how the police see him. Maybe this explains why Rycott, Chisholm and Morley get frustrated that they can’t nail Arthur, because he is a small-time crook, who is certainly no Al Capone. Arthur only wanted his Minders to give his adversaries a ‘slap’ and is never really the aggressor. This is why Arthur is a loveable rogue, not a thug or psychopath and that’s why he was so popular. |

To be clear; dental problems can start at any age once your first teeth have started to come through. There are particular problems associated with children and high sugar diets, with an increase in incidences of tooth decay being reported widely.\nOne of the age groups to suffer from a particular set of oral health issues though, is the older generation. Whilst they may be less conscious about their aesthetic appearance, although this is not always the case, having a healthy mouth can make a real difference to their quality of life.\nAs you might expect, the longer you live, the more chance of losing teeth and other problems are likely to occur. This is not always the case of course, and a lot will depend on how well you have cared for your teeth. There are though, a number of reasons why older people may suffer from dental problems.\nMany older people will clean their teeth in the way that their parents told them to do. This often involves a relatively quick brush, often done with too much force. This can cause enamel damage which increases the risk of problems such as tooth decay and root canal infections. Given that some of the older generation are perhaps more thrifty than young people, it is not unusual to learn that many use a toothbrush which is much older than the recommended three months, before being replaced.\nIncreasingly, younger patients of our Tunbridge Wells practice are recognising the many benefits of seeing a hygienist on a regular basis. Many older patients may not follow this example, having not done this when younger. This is a shame as gum disease is more prevalent in older patients and a regular scale and polish would help to keep their mouths free of gingivitis and periodontitis.\nAs we get older, dehydration becomes more common. This can be caused by any number of reasons, including illnesses and the side effects of medications. In addition, some older patients simply do not drink enough water. This can cause the oral cavity to become dry and when this happens, the number of harmful bacteria can multiply, and decay and gum problems can easily occur.\nMuch can be done in modern dentistry to improve older people’s quality of life. In addition to general oral health care, such as the treatment and management of gum disease, the Calverley Dental Practice also offers dental implant placement for a new set of teeth that are strong and secure, enabling older patients to continue to enjoy a wide and varied diet.\nIf you are an older patient, or a family member who cares for an elderly relative and would like to find out more; please call our Tunbridge Wells practice on 01892 543898. |

Like many people I associate certain writers and artists with particular places: Hemingway with Spain, Toulouse-Lautrec with Paris, Dickens with London, Georgia O’Keeffe with New Mexico, and Paul Gauguin with Tahiti, and so on. If you mention Hawaii and the South Pacific, I might think of flower leis, milk white beaches, and James Michener. The ultimate goal for any writer or artist is to have his or her name linked with a particular place. And for me, and for many people, Michener’s name still conjures up the magic of the South Seas.\nI’ve often speculated why this is true. Perhaps it’s the dedication he showed to his craft, perhaps it’s the integrity that many readers associate with his name, or perhaps it’s the sound of the name itself, a name which sounds literary without being pretentious. He wrote about the South Pacific in his first novel, Tales of the South Pacific, and in a later works, Return to Paradise and Hawaii. Other writers have written more than Michener about the area; for some reason his name continues to be associated with the region. The South Pacific. It is an area that invites escape, a place where the soul luxuriates in its own peace, where people willingly surrender the modern world to encounter something much more elemental and rewarding in their lives. It is still the enduring symbol of paradise, a timeless spot that resides as much in reality as in our imaginations.\nWhen Tales of the South Pacific was published after the Second World War, many people did not know what to make of it. It was certainly an unusual book and treated war as something of an interruption in people’s lives rather than as a patriotic enterprise. It was one of first war books to deal with humor behind the lines. Before Tales, few if any war novels dealt with a buffoonish, rag tag band of anti- heroes as well as with the actions of brave men. The book, however, inspired an entire generation of television shows and novels featuring rebellious and frequently improper men in uniform—McHale’s Navy, F Troop, and Hogan’s Heroes, and Catch-22.\nWhen Rodgers and Hammerstein adapted Tales for the stage in the form of South Pacific, Michener’s reputation reached a whole new level. Over the years, the musical went through several revivals until its present, lavish restaging by Lincoln Center Theater in New York. The themes of racial prejudice and intolerance continue to resonate. The novel was Michener’s first look at racial discrimination, but he continued to explore its themes in his subsequent novels. The issue fascinated and infuriated him throughout his life.\nThis is one of the reasons why Michener still matters and why I attempted to capture these themes in my new book, Michener’s South Pacific. He wrote about many lands—the American West, Chesapeake Bay, South Africa, Poland, Spain, Israel, Afghanistan, to name a few, but his name will always be associated with the sunny isles of the South Pacific. I know this to be true–he wrote the book on it.\nStephen J. May is also the author of Michener: A Writer’s Journey, which served as the basis for the PBS documentary James Michener: An Epic Life. He has also written a two-volume biography of Zane Grey and served as technical advisor for the most recent Broadway revival of South Pacific. |

The application before Members proposed the construction of three 2-bedroom houses with parking, amenity and access road, and; amending garden layouts to existing dwellings.\nThe objector commented that there were several considerations that were not adequately dealt with within the report. Firstly there was little consideration given to road safety and the limited access that the access road proposed gave. The objector also commented that visibility splay proposed would be to the detriment of pedestrian safety. The objector concluded by commenting that the proposed opening up of the rear of the existing property would affect existing resident’s privacy and lead to an increased vulnerability to crime.\nIn response the applicant commented that he had been working with officers for the last four to five months to fine tune the application so that met all planning criteria. The applicant also commented that the proposal provided ample parking provision. The applicant concluded by commenting that the proposal blended in with existing properties in the area and would provide affordable housing.\n· All contribution sums should include interest to the due date of expenditure and all contribution sums to be subject to indexation from the date of completion of the Section 106 agreement to the date of receipt by the Council.\n· The Developer/Owner to pay the Council’s reasonable legal costs associated with the Legal Agreement prior to the completion of the agreement irrespective of whether the agreement was completed.\n· Payment of the appropriate planning obligations monitoring fee prior to the completion of the agreement.\nIn the event that the legal agreement was not completed by 4 August 2018 the application should be refused.\nThat the Assistant Director of Development be authorised to enter into a legal agreement to secure the above and upon completion of that agreement, grant planning permission subject to the conditions as set out in the report.\nThe vote for the resolution to grant planning permission was carried by 8 votes to 2 with 1 abstention.\nCouncillors White and Nunn voted against the resolution.\nCouncillor Martin abstained from voting.\nThe report before Members considered a cross boundary hybrid application (part outline, part detailed) for a total of 2,900 dwellings within Havering and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham on a site of total area of 31.54 ha. Within Havering the application proposed the erection of 733 dwellings comprising of 137 houses and 596 apartments on land known as Beam Park to the east and west of Marsh Way, south of the A1306. Phase 1 of the development would deliver 536 dwellings, a new local centre based around a new railway station, up to 5,272 sq.m of other support uses including commercial floorspace and a 1,500 sqm health centre and community facilities. Phase 1 would also provide the site for a new 3 form of entry primary school with communal sports facilities plus extensive areas of open space and landscaping including a new park either side of the River Beam and a linear parkway along New Road. The development would provide 50% affordable housing.\nThe application was deferred from the 15 March 2018 meeting for staff to clarify the position in relation to school provision, height, affordable housing, healthcare provision and the level of parking. Revisions had been made to the application in response which were addressed in the report.\nWith its agreement Councillors David Durant and Michael Deon Burton addressed the Committee.\nCouncillor Durant commented that the proposal was a contradiction to the Local Plan and that no consideration had been given to the possibility of the Rainham to Belvedere river crossing that may be introduced in the future. Councillor Durant also commented that the Council needed to approach the Mayor for London’s office to determine which of the river crossing options were to be taken forward as there would be increased traffic and greater air pollution to future residents if the Rainham to Belvedere option was chosen. Councillor Durant concluded by commenting that although the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham had approved their part of the scheme Havering’s resident’s views and those of the Rainham, Wennington and South Hornchurch Work Party had been ignored.\nCouncillor Burton commented that as things stood there was currently no school provider in place and the station did not exist. Councillor Burton also commented that Councillors sitting on the Rainham, Wennington and South Hornchurch Working Party had been promised a garden suburb during consultations with the developers however the proposed development was more of a flatted high density development. Councillor Burton concluded that the proposed blocks were taller than had been promised and the proposal was an overdevelopment of the site and was not fit for purpose as there was insufficient parking provision.\nDuring the debate Members discussed the suitability of the proposal and there were several concerns that views of the Committee, residents and the Rainham, Wennington and South Hornchurch Working Party had not been taken into consideration and the proposal still was not suitable in terms of height and impact on character of the area.\nThe report recommended that ... view the full minutes text for item 394.\nThe application before Members sought retrospective planning permission for two conservatories, a covered way to the north elevation of the main property, a swimming pool and an outbuilding (pump room) with extended areas of hardstanding and vehicular parking and a retaining wall. The proposals, by virtue of their location and use are subject to the change of use of land to residential curtilage.\nMembers noted that the application had been called-in by Councillor John Crowder on the grounds that it had been claimed that the property had been in its current state for more than 10 years and was considered by Councillor Crowder to be a vast improvement to the area.\nWith its agreement Councillor John Crowder addressed the Committee.\nCouncillor Crowder commented that the property in its current condition was not detrimental to the Green Belt. Councillor Crowder concluded by commenting that the property was in a tidy condition in comparison to neighbouring properties which included a scrapyard and several other businesses.\nDuring the debate Members discussed the merits of the application and the surrounding properties.\nMembers also received guidance regarding Green Belt policy and of the circumstances that permitted development.\nThe report recommended that planning permission be refused however following a motion to approve the granting of planning permission it was RESOLVED that planning permission be approved on the basis that the development would not give rise to loss of openness and that the development would improve the character of the area.\nThe vote for the resolution to grant planning permission was carried by 7 votes to 4 with 2 abstentions.\nCouncillors Hawthorn and Nunn voted against the resolution to grant planning permission.\nCouncillors Martin and Williamson abstained from voting.\nThe Committee considered the report and without debate RESOLVED that planning permission be approved subject to the conditions as set out in the report.\n• To restrict future occupiers from obtaining parking permits.\nThat, if by 5 August 2018 the legal agreement had not been completed, the Assistant Director of Development had delegated authority to refuse planning permission.\n· All contribution sums should include interest to the due date of expenditure and all contribution sums to be subject to indexation from the date of completion of the Section 106 Planning Obligation to the date of receipt by the Council.\n· The Developer/Owner to pay the Council’s reasonable legal costs associated with the Planning Obligation prior to the completion of the agreement irrespective of whether the agreement was completed.\n· Provision of alternative venues for existing users of the site (if not resolved).\n· A financial contribution of £12,000 to be used for road infrastructure improvements.\n· A financial contribution of £15,000 to be used for local cycling improvements study and works.\nIn the event that the Planning Obligation was not completed by 4 October 2018 the application should be refused.\nThat the Assistant Director of Development be authorised to secure a Planning Obligation for the above and upon completion of that obligation, grant planning permission subject to the conditions as set out in the report.\nThat planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out in the report, on the understanding that the conditions may be updated as appropriate, in case the requirements were discharged satisfactorily before a decision was formally issued.\nThat planning permission be granted subject to referral to the Mayor of London. |
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Washington's latest Hail Mary attempt to support a battered banking system lifted Citigroup Inc. shares more than 50% on Monday, and drew kudos from those who see the effort as setting a new industry framework, as well as brickbats from those who sensed desperation in the move.\nEarly Monday morning, officials agreed to a $326 billion rescue of the company that was once the largest U.S. bank, a pioneer of the one-stop-shop model combining financial services for business and consumers.\nThe government intends to invest $20 billion in Citigroup C, -0.48% and to guarantee as much as $306 billion of its troubled assets in a deal reached late Sunday evening. The agreement also gives the government control of executive bonuses and places limits on dividend payments.\nThe deal would likely make the government the largest Citi shareholder. The United States will end up with a 7.8% stake in Citigroup, Chief Financial Officer Gary Crittenden told CNBC.\nThat would surpass the roughly 4.9% stake that the government of Abu Dhabi took in the company last year, and it also tops the 5% stake unveiled last week by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.\n"The U.S. government's creative ring fencing of Citi's $306 billion in troubled assets is a strong positive for the system and for Citi shareholders," wrote Betsey Graseck, a Morgan Stanley analyst, in a note.\nThe deal marks the latest of several government moves to support the financial sector and shore up investor confidence in it.\nThe Treasury's initial plan to buy up the industry's troubled assets gave way to direct investment in banks to bolster their balance sheets, and Citi already has received a previous $25 billion federal investment.\n"It's TARP III," said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research. "Buying toxic assets didn't work; direct capital investment didn't work; so now they are guaranteeing these assets, they're just spinning their wheels, their plans just aren't working."\nAs Citi's shares fell more than 60% in the last week alone, the government decided to try yet another approach to avoid a collapse in Citi and a further loss of faith in the entire U.S. banking system.\nThough time will tell if the measures are successful, "the U.S. government is lowering risk while not significantly diluting shareholders, keeping them engaged in the sector," Graseck told clients.\nThe rescue plan came together after a weekend of intensive negotiations involving the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., according to published reports.\nFederal officials and company management desperately were seeking to avoid a replay of the disastrous failure and subsequent bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers LEHMQ earlier this year as stabilization efforts fizzled. Many observers have identified that event as the tipping point between dangerous market and economic conditions into a market crash with potential for a depression.\nCiti shares closed up 58%, at $5.94. Collectively, the financial stocks in the S&P 500 Index SPX, -0.02% measured by the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF, posted their biggest one-day percentage gain ever, rising about 17%. See full story.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.17% closed up almost 400 points. See Market Snapshot.\nCitigroup "reached an agreement based on an innovative market solution to further strengthen our capital ratios, reduce risk and increase liquidity," Chief Executive Vikram S. Pandit said in a statement. Citi's board approved the terms.\nThe lifeline being thrown to the bank represents the first time the government has absorbed bad assets rather than injecting money directly into financials. Switzerland's government recently crafted a similar agreement with UBS AG UBS, -0.38% See related story.\n"At some point, the handouts have to stop and institutions have to start to take some accountability for what happened. Nobody wants to see Citi go into Chapter 11, but some type of sale or merger would likely have been the scenario preferred by the market," said Aite Group analyst Christine Barry.\nThe Treasury will inject $20 billion of capital, on top of a $25 billion federal infusion that was already dispatched.\nThe government will guarantee a roughly $306 billion pool of Citi's troubled assets, including mortgage-backed securities. Citigroup must absorb the first $29 billion in losses and 10% of anything beyond that. Treasury will absorb the next $5 billion in losses, followed by the FDIC taking on the next $10 billion in losses.\nAny losses on bad assets beyond that level would be taken by the Fed. The guarantees will be for 10 years for residential assets and five years for nonresidential assets.\nCiti said it would issue $7 billion of preferred stock with an 8% dividend as payment for the guarantee.\nCiti said it would issue warrants to the Treasury and the FDIC for some 254 million common shares at a strike price of $10.61.\nThe government must approve all executive compensation, including bonuses.\nEffective with the payment of the next dividend on common stock, Citi agreed not to pay out more than 1 cent a share for three years. See the Treasury's statement.\nCitigroup previously agreed to issue the government preferred shares in return for the $25 billion the bank received as one of the first nine companies to get capital infusions.\nAfter the deal, Citi's Tier 1 capital ratio at Sept. 30, on a pro-forma basis assuming the October capital injection and the new capital announced on Sunday, is expected to be 14.8%, the company said. Its tangible common equity would be about 9.3% of risk-weighted managed assets, according to Citigroup.\nIn addition to $2 trillion in assets it has on its balance sheet, Citi has another $1.23 trillion in entities that aren't reflected there, reports said. Some of those assets are tied to mortgages, and investors have worried they could cause heavy losses if they are brought back on the company's books, The Wall Street Journal reported.\nUp until last week, the financial markets had shown signs of recovering some confidence and stability as the shock of Lehman's September bankruptcy began to ease.\nOn Sept. 15, Lehman filed for Chapter 11 protection, ending the 158-year-old Wall Street firm's run and rattling the foundation of the global financial system.\nLehman's tentacles ran deep across global markets, and investors panicked as debt defaults sparked misery around the world, forcing selling by institutions and hedge funds and triggering the catastrophic "breaking of the buck" at one of the nation's most prominent money-market funds.\nWhile Citi's difficulties are different from Lehman's, analysts said any disorderly breakdown at Citi would surely have sparked further chaos.\nCiti's crisis came in spurts, as the bank has reported about $20 billion of losses over the last year amid huge write-downs for soured investments.\nAt this time a year ago, the stock market valued the company at about $180 billion. As of Friday morning, its market capitalization stood at $20 billion -- and its once-proud share price had shriveled to $3.75, a 16-year low.\nLast week, short sellers focused on the perfect storm surrounding Citigroup. Its shares were sold in unprecedented volume as the concern about the scale of recently unveiled job cuts added to fresh fears about a quickly deteriorating commercial real-estate market, as well as a surprise decision by the Treasury earlier this month to forgo purchasing troubled assets from firms like Citi. See full story.\nThat latter move by the Treasury likely prompted Citi's decision to bring about $17 billion of bad assets from a subsidiary onto its own balance sheet, sparking a probable charge of up to about $1 billion. See full story.\nNo one knows for sure how many assets like that Citi may have to haul onto its balance sheet, and what kind of losses that could spark. Should the company absorb many bad assets and take write-downs, that would eat into profits and, if it goes on long enough, eat away at core capital.\nEven before the mortgage-fueled credit crunch, Citi and other banks faced calls to reorganize the company and even split it up. |

Two site stewards write their observations on a CASSP site visit form at a prehistoric site in the Sierras.\nFor several years, volunteer site stewardship has been recognized as an effective way to help protect archaeological and historical resources and several site stewardship programs have been developed throughout the United States. A 2007 survey by Sophia Kelly, published by the National Park Service as Technical Brief 22, listed many of the state programs and identified key elements of volunteer site stewardship. During the last four years, however, many changes have occurred, especially in program budgets. The California Archaeological Site Stewardship Program (CASSP) is one program that has adapted to these changes. In an effort to better understand how site stewardship programs achieve their goals, this article examines some of the current characteristics and practices of CASSP.\nA working group within the Society for California Archaeology (SCA) started CASSP in 1999 with the goal of training volunteers at two Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Field Offices to help protect sites in those resource areas. Initially, it was not certain if CASSP would go beyond these first two workshops. Gradually, public land management agencies and local communities responded with greater interest and funding.\nSince 1999, almost one thousand people have participated in more than fifty CASSP training workshops held all across California. Last year, about three hundred active volunteer stewards reviewed the physical conditions of nearly four hundred sites and districts and reported their findings to agency archaeologists. Stewards help identify problems before they become more serious and, consequently, more expensive to fix. Their presence also helps deter inappropriate behavior by visitors (Figure 1).\nIn California, volunteer site stewards are based in nine BLM Field Offices, six National Forests, five units of the National Park Service, and several State Parks Districts and State Vehicular Recreation Areas. Hundreds of CASSP volunteers work on public lands, but CASSP is not a government program. It is a program of the Society for California Archaeology, a nonprofit organization.\nCASSP has three clients: sites, agency archaeologists, and volunteer site stewards. The program helps to protect archaeological and historical sites on public lands, assists the agency archaeologists in monitoring the sites that they are responsible for, and provides opportunities for the volunteers to have a meaningful experience. When these goals overlap, CASSP creates a win-win for the public agencies, archaeologists, and volunteers.\nTo achieve these goals, CASSP follows five main principles: attract good volunteers; maintain a consistent structure, but be flexible; decentralize; focus; and food. Each is important, but the first one is absolutely essential.\nPrinciple 1. Attract good volunteers.\nGood volunteers are people who are sincerely interested in and committed to protecting sites. Good volunteers are self-selected by meeting several thresholds. In order to become a site steward, applicants must complete a training course (Figure 2). The training is a formal, two-day workshop held over the weekend at the public land management agency where the volunteers may work. The workshop fee is $25 per person, and applicants have to register one week in advance. Workshop participants also sign an agreement to keep specific site location information confidential. By completing the training, applicants demonstrate their commitment to site preservation, and we treat them with the respect they deserve.\nWe offer a “free trial” of site stewardship on the second day of the workshop. After completing the classroom sessions on the first day and signing a confidentiality agreement, the participants take a field trip on the second day to several recorded archaeological sites. At each site, we talk about a site steward’s duties and encourage one or more of the workshop participants to complete the monitoring form, which is then turned over to the host archaeologist as the first volunteer reports on the site (Figure 3). For an example of the CASSP monitoring form, please see pages 6 and 7 of this article.\nTo attract committed volunteers, it is essential to respect the participants. We do this by providing name badges at the workshops to both the volunteers and to everyone helping to run the workshop. The badges help break down barriers between strangers and can be used to introduce people to each another.\nWe show respect by keeping the workshops on time and on topic. We start at 9:00 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. Speakers are given definite time limits that are enforced by the workshop moderators. Time limits are also enforced by requesting that questions and discussion be deferred until break time or lunch and, if necessary, by going to the front of the room and politely sliding into the speaker’s personal space until they get the message and wrap things up (this is not always easy when the speaker is a uniformed supervisor or law enforcement officer but it helps that we do not work in their office). Staying on time shows that we think that the volunteers’ time is valuable, even if they are just starting their training.\nWe follow an agenda that is printed on the first page of the workshop notebook. This plan allows us to make sure that all necessary topics are covered, ensuring that the volunteers receive the full value of attending. Completing the agenda also demonstrates right from the beginning that CASSP makes measurable progress, and that volunteers can make similar progress as site stewards who are preserving cultural resources.\nThe number of participants at each workshop is limited to 25 people, in addition to speakers and agency staff. This is the maximum number we can effectively address and engage at one time. When the number of participants is 25 or less, everyone who attends has the chance to ask questions and become involved in the discussions.\nWe maintain contact with the volunteers and workshop participants after their training has been completed. The second day of the workshop ends with a group picture, which we print and send to everyone with a handwritten thank you note, as well as an evaluation form with a return-addressed stamped envelope. We are genuinely interested in participants’ comments about the workshop and their suggestions on improving the program. We also want the volunteers to know that we enjoyed meeting them and that they are an important part of a statewide organization.\nThe CASSP newsletter is printed and mailed to everyone who requested it or has participated in a workshop in the past five years. It is also sent by e-mail as a PDF and archived on the CASSP web site (www.cassp.org). The web site contains several sections, including a description of CASSP and information for potential volunteers, current volunteers, and agencies. CASSP also maintains a listserv ([email protected]) and provides presentations and articles (like this one) to other organizations.\nWe provide the agency archaeologist who hosts the workshop with copies of the volunteers’ candidate forms and confidentiality agreements and from this we create a contact list. We write thank you letters to the archaeologist and to the supervisors in the host agency (with the group photo of the workshop participants included). This helps bring closure to the workshop and highlights the agency archaeologists’ role with the volunteers to their supervisors.\nPrinciple 2. Maintain a consistent structure, but be flexible.\nThe format for the workshops and structure of the program is the same for each office and agency while still allowing for flexibility with the details. For example, the program outlines the duties of a site steward to visit his or her assigned site and to record any observations, but the program is very adaptable concerning frequency of visits and the form of the report. For the workshops, while we provide an agenda, the schedule can adapt to the background and concerns of the audience and speakers. For instance, agency law enforcement officers are scheduled on the workshop agenda, but their patrol duties may change their availability, so we adjust the agenda accordingly.\nWe provide a turnkey structure, but workshop locations and participants vary greatly, from conference rooms to tribal council rooms to camping out in the desert. Flexibility with the details means we can be more responsive to local needs and talents. In the workshops, there are standard components that are used every time and at every location, and then there are custom-made ones, such as information about the local archaeology and history, which help make the training more relevant to those who will be local volunteers (Figure 4). Standardization reduces effort and expense and enables volunteers to train at one location and work at another that is closer to home.\nDecentralization means that the volunteer site stewards work under local control and for the archaeologist at the local agency, not for the CASSP office in southern California or for the SCA office in northern California. Supervision of the volunteers is the responsibility of the agency archaeologists, as they will provide the daily contact and oversight for their volunteers.\nThe workshop training reinforces decentralization. While the workshop organizers and presenters initially are the center of attention, the focus shifts through the morning from the organizers to the agency archaeologist and other speakers as they give presentations about local cultural resources and other topics.\nAfter lunch, we move the center of attention from the speakers to the volunteers. We create a list of items (on the white board and in the workshop notebooks) that should be carried on a volunteer’s site visits. We do an exercise in which the participants practice their observation skills by writing down their description of one of the presenters as a “perpetrator.” Then we break into small groups to discuss how to react in situations that one could face as a site steward (Figure 5). There are no easy or obvious answers and after 30 minutes, each group has to report back to the whole workshop and discuss their choices. By this stage, the participants are doing almost all of the talking as they lead the discussions. On the field trip, the workshop participants see actual archaeological sites and make their own discoveries. They also develop the habit of conversing with the archaeologist who will be their supervisor about specific site conditions and the general archaeological background.\nIt is easy to be distracted by other worthy activities but CASSP tries to narrow its activities to a few specific ones in order to be as efficient and effective as possible. CASSP focuses on its clients and primary goals and if a proposed activity does not serve all three clients, then it is not pursued. Even if they are worthy, the program cannot spend time and resources trying to do activities that are outside the site stewardship scope and experience.\n· CASSP is not a certification program, university extension, or field school.\n· CASSP does not train individuals to monitor construction projects or activities for archaeological evidence.\n· CASSP does not provide site interpretation or other public education at a site.\n· CASSP does not create mitigation strategies or cultural resource evaluations.\nInstead, CASSP concentrates on volunteer training for site stewards to visit assigned sites and report on their conditions. Many volunteers will work with their agency archaeologists on other valuable tasks that help protect cultural resources. When that happens, it strengthens the program but it is not something that the program requires, expects, or is able to spend resources on.\nThe fifth principle for a successful site stewardship program is food. CASSP provides lunch on the first day of the volunteer training workshop when people spend all day in a classroom setting. We initially did this to save time and to keep up our momentum but soon recognized this as an important tool for creating a comfortable atmosphere. Food is fun; everyone enjoys a good sandwich or a tasty spinach salad or an extra bite-sized brownie. When sharing a meal, people feel more comfortable asking questions and participating in discussions. The lunch is fresh and simple, with plenty of choices. Sandwiches, salads, and beverages for 25 people can be provided for a total cost of about $200. We bring sandwich bags and save leftovers as snacks for the next day’s field trip.\nThe final point, which is actually incorporated into all the principles, is to remove barriers. The Society for California (SCA) is the statewide professional society for archaeologists in California. Members of the public can also join and are encouraged to do so. As the sponsor of CASSP, the SCA offers everyone who takes the volunteer training for site stewards a free first-year membership. This helps introduce the SCA to people who may want to continue with paying memberships and for many people, it opens a door to archaeological lectures, research, and professional papers. It is common to see people at the annual meetings of the SCA wearing name badges with the “CASSP” affiliation.\n· Committed and serious volunteers often go beyond site stewardship by, for example, assisting in fieldwork and helping to repair vandalized sites.\n· In the training workshops and when doing site stewardship, volunteers have opportunities to talk to people with whom they normally do not interact. The workshops attract a diverse group of people, such as students, retired people, hikers, bikers, off-highway vehicle users, Native Americans, and community old-timers and newcomers. We start with everyone introducing themselves, then ask questions, share lunch and encourage involvement in discussions. During the workshop, participants find common interests and experiences to share with each other. Conversations are made easier because everyone at the workshop shares the same status: everyone is new to the local archaeology or to the site stewardship program.\n· Volunteers bring greater visibility to cultural resource concerns at agencies. As the volunteer site stewards come to the public agency office, their visits to the agency archaeologist are noticed. Management soon realizes that these people are not coming to lodge a complaint, but are instead coming to help the agency comply with its responsibilities for cultural resources.\n· In turn, these volunteers gain a greater awareness of the goals, tasks, and constraints of the U.S. Forests, BLM, and parks where they volunteer.\n· CASSP has brought academic and consulting archaeologists into activities with public volunteers. We often ask other archaeology and anthropology professors and consultants to provide their expertise for CASSP advanced training workshops. They do not pay the workshop fee and can participate in the complete workshop where they continue to informally share their knowledge and answer any questions from the participants. Established volunteer site stewards are also invited to return to workshops (without paying the fee again) to inspire new volunteers with their enthusiasm and experience (Figure 6).\nThis article has described some of the principles and practices that have been useful for CASSP. Other programs will differ because they face different challenges and opportunities and have different needs and funding sources. By sharing experiences, site stewardship programs across the country can generate critical thinking and discussion about how public volunteers can best help protect cultural resources. As a result, a national coalition of site stewardship programs is emerging to share expertise, identify opportunities of economies of scale, attract new funding sources, and provide a focus where agencies can find out how site stewardship may be useful for them. Site stewardship programs have to maintain current best practices while being receptive to change, in order to better protect sites, assist agencies, and benefit volunteers. Stay tuned.\nPlease keep me informed through email. This sounds like an intresting program. |
While modern computerised payroll systems are very reliable, occasions still arise where employees receive overpayments of wages, and we have seen a few examples recently.\nTypically, where an overpayment has occurred, the employer is able to recover the amount overpaid. The vast majority of employment agreements contain a "deductions clause", under which the employee consents to the employer making deductions from future wages. Employees can revoke this consent at any time, but seldom do.\nThe Wages Protection Act also entitles the employer to recover overpayments in certain circumstances. It provides a limited time window for recovery. Notice of intention to recover the overpayment must be given promptly (there are technical requirements, but typically notice must be given no later than the next pay day) and the overpayment itself must be recovered not later than two months after the notice is given.\nEven without these rights, employers are able to recover an overpayment on the basis that there has been a mistake and it would be unjust for the employee to keep the windfall.\nHowever, the recent Employment Court decision of Foai v Air New Zealand is a case where the employer was not able to recover overpayments it had made. Mr Foai was allowed to retain the money he'd been overpaid - some $42,600.\nMr Foai had worked for Air New Zealand since 2002 as a permanent part-time airline service person in a loading role. By 2007 he was earning approximately $17 per hour. He was however working shift work and was very keen to take a position with regular full time hours. In May 2007 he applied for a temporary administrator role. He held this position on a rolling three month temporary basis until his employment with Air New Zealand was terminated in July 2009.\nOther than a temporary letter of appointment, Air New Zealand had no employment agreement for Mr Foai in this role. In particular there was no mention of his hourly rate - simply that he would be paid an hourly rate based on his "average earnings".\nWithin a few months of commencing the temporary role Mr Foai queried whether he was supposed to be getting overtime as part of his payment. He could not understand the calculations and asked what he was supposed to be getting paid. Over the next year and a half Mr Foai queried how much he was paid on a number of occasions. Air New Zealand HR and management also queried it amongst themselves but the matter was never followed up.\nIn October 2008 Mr Foai went on holiday overseas. While he was away, he saw on internet banking that he had been paid a large amount of holiday pay and he sent an email to ask why he had received so much and then rang payroll when he returned. He had no response until two months later when Air New Zealand advised him that he had been overpaid.\nMr Foai was ultimately dismissed from Air New Zealand in July 2009 for a number of reasons, including that he had not been proactive enough in querying the overpayment. Air New Zealand then brought a claim against him seeking recovery of approximately $42,600, being the net amount of the overpayment made over the nearly two year period. Air New Zealand said it had a right to restitution of this amount and that Mr Foai had been unjustly enriched.\nTechnically, Mr Foai had two defences, but in essence they both turned on his claim that he had received the money in good faith, and that he had altered his lifestyle and his position had so changed that it would be unfair to require him to repay Air New Zealand.\nThe Employment Court had little sympathy for Air New Zealand's position. Air New Zealand could not argue that they had paid Mr Foai by mistake because the evidence did not identify any particular mistake. All the Air New Zealand witnesses gave evidence that they personally had done nothing wrong. While there was a suggestion that a computer error had calculated Mr Foai's hourly rate higher than it should have been, no evidence was brought to that effect. This meant that Air New Zealand could not claim that Mr Foai had been unjustly enriched.\nIn any event, the Court found that Mr Foai's defences stood. It found there was no dishonesty or bad faith on Mr Foai's part. He genuinely queried the payments on numerous occasions, but when nothing happened and he was told not to worry by management he felt reassured. The Court also commented that employees are entitled to assume they are being paid correctly, and the lack of detail in the employment agreement meant Mr Foai was unable to check himself whether he had been paid correctly. Overall, the Court found that it would be an injustice if Mr Foai was made to repay Air New Zealand the $42,600.\nThe reality is that employees will not usually query whether they are being overpaid unless they are. The Foai case is a reminder that when this sort of issue is raised, it should be resolved promptly and conclusively.\nShould an overpayment be discovered some time after the event, we recommend that you engage with the employee as soon as possible, and that you endeavour to reach agreement on repayment terms that are reasonable and within the employee's means. If you believe the employee has acted in bad faith, there may be disciplinary avenues open also. |

Redesigned 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van to cost ,985 | Car News, Reviews, & Pricing for New & Used Cars.\nMercedes-Benz on Wednesday said that its new, U.S.-built full-size cargo and passenger vans will cost slightly less than the model they replace. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will cost $34,985 to start in cargo van configuration, $5 less than the outgoing model, but its price will climb fast thanks to the myriad options the automaker will offer for its big vans.\nThe automaker opened the new Sprinter assembly plant outside of Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday.\nThe Sprinter is offered in 144- and 177-inch wheelbases, in cargo, crew, passenger, and chassis cab configurations. Cargo vans have seating for just a driver and passenger plus a cargo hold as voluminous as some apartments—533 cubic feet in certain configurations, Mercedes says. Passenger vans cost $44,185 to start and can be configured to seat as many as 15 occupants. Crew vans cost $42,485 to start and are a combination of passenger and cargo with two rows of seats and a large cargo area. The $40,985 chassis cab is aimed at upfitters such as the recreational vehicle industry.\nThose prices include a mandatory $1,195 destination charge.\nThe base Sprinter uses 2.0-liter turbo-4 rated at 190 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque to power the rear wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. A 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 rated at 190 hp and 324 lb-ft is likely to be more popular and can be paired with either rear- or all-wheel drive depending on the configuration. The turbodiesel includes a 7-speed automatic transmission and adds $6,000 to most versions of the Sprinter.\nAll Sprinters include keyless ignition, a pair of USB-C outlets, LED headlights, and six airbags, but the extra-cost optional equipment list is lengthy and includes luxuries such as a 10.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, automatic emergency braking, and heated and power-adjustable front seats.\nThe van is also sold at the same price by Freightliner commercial truck dealers as the Freightliner Sprinter. Both Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinters will arrive to dealers by the end of the year.\nPrevious articleVolkswagen cancels all six-cylinder Passat models in the U.S. |

In addition to wide range of heated towel rails and designer towel radiators, we also offer expert advice, technical help and guidance to all our customers and web site visitors. Our help & advice section is full of useful information, technical details and resources which will help you learn more about bathroom radiators and how they are used. Not only will it also assist you in understanding your own requirements it will also help you make the right choice and purchase the correct parts.\nThere are 3 possible ways you can introduce a towel radiator to your bathroom. First and most common option is a straight forward “central heating” type connection. If, however, you live in a flat and do not have a gas supply to your property, you can still install a towel radiator by converting it to an “electric only” type usage. The third and final option would be a “dual fuel” type connection where the towel radiator is connected to your central heating but it also has an electric heating element installed in it, which can be used in summer months when the central heating is off.\nPlease use coloured boxes below to find more about each usage type and parts required. To help you understand which part goes where and to give you some visual aid, we have created our connection types page which you can reach by clicking on the green box below. This page illustrates possible connection types for bathroom radiators. You may also have a look at our 5 Steps Buyer's Guide for more information.\nIf you are still not sure about which product suits you most or simply have further questions, you can also visit our "Heated Towel Rails Frequently Asked Questions" section or alternatively call our Sales Department on 020 8892 0932where a member of our team will be happy to help you.\nAll our ADIGE branded standard towel rails and designer towel radiators have their own technical drawings which you can view by selecting "technical drawing" tab on each products’ detail page. Below is a sample drawing which shows some important measurements for our standard towel rails.\n*All towel radiators are supplied with 4 adjustable brackets enabling you to adjust the distance between the wall and the centre of the radiator (centre of the air vent - bleed valve) to a value between 75mm and 95mm.\nPlease note that the actual projection from the wall to the front of the radiator is minimum 90mm and maximum 110mm. These figures only apply to FLAT radiators. You will need to add an additional 30mm to 60mm to CURVED radiators. i.e., a 400mm wide curved radiator will protrude approximately 30mm further than flat models whereas a 700mm wide curved radiator will protrude approximately 60mm more than that of the flat version. Please refer to technical drawing of individual items for accurate information. |

Agritech start-ups are investing approximately Rs 5 crore each in building groundbreaking image recognition technology that enables farmers to receive real-time data on the pest or disease that has affected a crop and solutions.\nAgritech start-ups, from Accel-backed Agrostar to IvyCap-funded RML AgTech, among others, are investing approximately Rs 5 crore each in building groundbreaking image recognition technology that enables farmers to receive real-time data.\nBENGALURU: Baburao Mule, a 67year-old Maharashtrian farmer, has spent the last three months capturing images of his crops in Narayan village through agritech startup RML AgTech's mobile application feature crop doc.\n"Within a minute, through the app, I can understand what pest has attacked my tomatoes and what solution can be used. This has been extremely useful in crop protection. Besides, I also get weather predictions, as well as rates of our crops in cities like Mumbai, so we don't get cheated when selling to the vendors," says Mule.\nAgritech start-ups, from Accel-backed Agrostar to IvyCap-funded RML AgTech, among others, are investing approximately Rs 5 crore each in building groundbreaking image recognition technology that enables farmers to receive real-time data on the pest or disease that has affected a crop, offering solution in a minute, by just using a picture clicked with a smartphone.\nWhile players like Agrostar are investing in creating the technology and carrying out pilot programmes in Gujarat, others like RML AgTech have up to 8,000 farmers across Maharashtra and other states already using the technology feature to find problems with tomatoes and other crops. Agrostar plans to provide the image recognition feature free to farmers. RML AgTech, however, offers a basic version of the app free, but charges anywhere between Rs 1,000 and Rs 3,000 annually for the app with the image-recognition feature.\nAgrostar, which recently raised $10 million in a funding round led by Accel Partners, plans to scale up and develop the image recognition technology over the course of this year. "We are targeting crops like cotton and groundnut, we are getting data in terms of images from the farmers themselves. More than technology, the biggest challenge currently is having a repository of images that can be mapped to the image that a farmer has taken on his phone and determining the problem and solution in real time, without any manual intervention," said Shardul Sheth, cofounder of Agrostar.\nThe services offered by the platform are used by over 10 lakh farmers; over 1 lakh farmers have downloaded the the app. The startup is targeting less than 1,000 farmers in Gujarat for its pilot programme.\nThe image recognition feature on RML AgTech's paid app, called crop doc, is available in varied regional languages. The company, which raised $4 million in a funding round led by IvyCap Ventures in January, focuses on identifying pests and solutions related to tomato crops with this feature.\n"In addition to technology , one needs to have insights. Tomato has close to 48 issues. If one wants to deploy image recognition tech for each problem, you have to have a minimum of 200 different images in the database to reach a 90% accuracy level, but to reach 99% accuracy level, we should have at least 6-700 images per problem. We want to cover all Indian crops by the first quarter of 2018," said Rajiv Tetviya, CEO, RML AgTech. The company says it has over 12 lakh farmers using the app. |

The Whitetail Institute’s Imperial Power Plant is a variety of warm season annuals, including soybeans, cow peas, lablab, sorghum and sunflowers. With the promise of “more tonnage per acre than any other spring/summer annuals”, Power Plant was on my list of food plot seed to try in the spring of 2010.\nSunflowers and sorghum are not something you would normally plant for deer, but there is a method behind the madness. The sunflowers and sorghum actually provide structure for the legumes to grow up and around. This keeps the legumes from growing along the ground and possibly stunting their growth.\nIn addition we also release quail on our farm, so the sorghum can provide them some nutrition in the colder months ahead.\nThe Whitetail Institute recommends planting Power Plant once the soil temperatures in your region reach at least a constant 60-65 degrees. The main reason is that soybeans have much greater success when planted at this temperature.\nThey also recommend a soil PH of 7, disking the area at least 4-6 inches deep, and disking lightly after broadcast-spreading the seed.\nNOTE: We spray our warm season annual plots with 41% glyphosate early in the spring well in advanced of planting. It takes 10-14 days for the glyphosate to do its job and be safe for planting. We also lime and fertilize based on the PH of the soil and the recommendations for the seed we are planting.\nThere were two food plots in which we planted Power Plant. In the last week of May, we had some pretty warm temperatures here in Virginia and the soil temperature was right at 55. The decision was made to plant the first food plot.\nThis plot is the largest, around ¾ of an acre, fairly rocky and slightly sloped. The PH was right around 7 and the soil was fairly easy to disk up because we had tilled it the year before. We removed the larger rocks by hand and we ended up with a pretty clean bed.\nWe decided to try something new with this plot, so we only planted Power Plant around the perimeter. The intention was to use Power Plant’s sorghum and sun flowers as cover for the deer as they munched on the Imperial Clover that we planted in the middle.\nWe decided to wait a couple of weeks before planting the second food plot, which is about ¼ of an acre. This was to test the difference that soil temperature would make as well as hedge our bets with the weather. The plot had a slightly lower PH, was level to sloping, and was less rocky than the first plot. The entire plot was planted in Power Plant.\nSpreading out the planting dates ended up being a great decision. June was a brutally dry month here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and the first plot of Power Plant definitely suffered.\nWith an average height of about three feet, the sunflowers and sorghum had severely stunted growth. The soybeans, lablab and cow pea also suffered, but have gradually come on in the last month as we have received some good rain.\nEven with the below average growth, the perimeter of cover technique has worked out beautifully. We have seen deer bedding in the middle as anticipated. This did not happen last year when it was just clover.\nThe second plot was planted at the very beginning of the drought (unknowingly at the time), but has done extremely well, with some of the sorghum already well over 8 feet tall. It initially was very slow to grow, but has really taken off in the last month with fairly good rain. NOTE: The soil temperature was also 10 degrees warmer when planted.\nThe deer have been feeding heavily around the edges, but Power Plant has grown so fast that it has really held its own against grazing pressure. There is still an abundant amount of forage left towards as you move to the middle.\nThe fact that there is no selective herbicide that you can use on Power Plant (because you have legumes and grasses) was something I did not like about it before I bought it. However, it grew so thick in both plots that weeds have no chance.\nWhile it has not been through a hunting season yet, we are very pleased with the results of Power Plant thus far. It has definitely provided more forage than any other food plot mix we have ever planted, and the deer are coming to it on a regular basis.\nOut of 5, I would give it a 4.5. The reason that I don’t give it a full 5 out of 5 is that there is a little too much sunflower and sorghum seed. The bag says they consist of 7.5% of the seed each. If that is the case, I would like to see it dropped to about half of that.\nPower Plant should die out after the first hard frost, so I will create a Part 2 of this blog with the final results and thoughts then. |

yes, i’ve been a bad blogger … so incredibly behind in updating the blog with the images shared over on the scruffy dog facebook page. that’s the place you want to be if you want to see the latest and greatest coming out of SDP headquarters! client sneak-peeks, updates, news, all the fun!\nthis blog entry is an accumulation of images of the resident mcscruffies themselves. they’ve actually been the focus of a lot of shooting over the past few months as they have been my test models while i consider the very strong possibility of switching the SDP gear from Nikon to Canon. at this point i’m not prepared to go into the many reasons behind my possible switch from the D3S/D4 to the 1DX, the numerous pros and cons for each system, my findings after shooting both systems, and my increasing frustration with Nikon and their latest pro bodies. my amazing and wonderful contact at Canon Pro Services has offered a second loan period of the gear when i’m closer to making my decision … with a full shooting schedule for the remainder of the year, i’m not about to make such a big change mid-season. i do plan on writing a blog entry comparing Nikon’s D3S and D4 with the Canon 1DX, the amazing benefits and pitfalls of each. but for now … a few fun photos of the mcscruffies.\nthis image is pretty much SOOC … ISO 5000. with the 1DX, Canon has certainly made a major leap forward in the area of noise and ISOs, coming extremely close to the D4’s capabilities.\ni hear a lot of Canon shooters (mostly 5DMIII) complain about Canon’s abilities to ‘shoot blind’ (from the hip). with the right AF settings (and experienced aim, of course), the 1DX nails it. the shot below, and a number of the images above were ‘shot blind’. in in-depth discussions with Canon, i’m assured that any kind of AF issues (including CA issues) should not be experienced with the new L II series lenses which were designed to work more effectively with the new bodies (5DMIII and the 1DX). i encourage 5DMIII users experiencing these AF and CA issues with their L-series lenses to rent some of these new L II series lenses and give them a good ride … see if it helps!\nalthough the gear i was loaned from CPS included the 5DMIII, i didn’t actually shoot it during the time i had the gear. however, i had already done some shooting with the 5DMIII earlier in the year. although i was impressed with the extra megapixels, and its responsiveness with tracking while shooting action, it’s still a little behind in the area of ISOs, metering and a few other areas, which makes the 1DX an absolute no brainer for me.\nhere are a few images from the 5DMIII.\nthat’s it from the mcscruffies. i do intend to write a blog entry at some point in the near future on all of this. for now, i hope you’ve enjoyed a few images of the mcscruffies. enjoy your weekend!\nCynthia Kerr - Amazing, Illona! I remember your Dad always had his trusty SLR in his hands back in the 70s when we were neighbours. So glad I found you online! Well done!\nLinda - Your work never fails to make me smile. You are magic and you manage to bring out the magic in all the dogs you photograph. Keep spreading the joy!\nAnonymous - Sure are a lot of blown out overexposed skies.\nShelley Castle - These are so beautiful. I can’t wait to learn more on hip shooting from you. It so amazing to see all the dropped boughs in the tunnel of trees. |

Article by Matthew Ellison of UA Europe containing an in-depth discussion and explanation of the new Responsive Layout feature in MadCap Flare 12 - why you might need it, how to use it, and a comparison with other responsive technologies including the Foundation Framework.\nPublished in ISTC Communicator, Summer 2016.\nHow does Responsive Layout work?\nHow do I create a responsive Layout?\nOne of the most interesting challenges for web designers in recent years has been to create layouts that succeed on the wide range of device types use to browse the Internet. This has given rise to so-called responsive design, which typically uses a combination of the float property and CSS media queries to ensure that layouts adapt and reflow for a range of different screen sizes and orientations. This technology has been behind the scenes of the responsive HTML5 skins available in Flare since version 10. However, it has not been possible to use responsive design techniques within topic content without resorting to hand-coding of media queries or use of the Foundation Framework (described later in this article). Until, that is, the recent release of version 12 with its brand new "Responsive Layout" feature.\nAlthough the new feature is an exciting innovation, don't be under the misapprehension that you'll be using it on a regular basis during your day-to-day authoring. Most content that we create as technical authors tends to be simple in layout, consisting of a single main flow of text, images, and tables. For such content, we don't need any special techniques other than perhaps setting a maximum width for images and tables so that they scale automatically on smaller screens. Where Responsive Layout could be useful, however, is on your Help system's home page or on other landing pages that present a set of options laid out as a grid. An example of such a layout is shown below.\nIn a nutshell, the Responsive Layout feature enables you to define, for a set of HTML blocks, a different grid layout for each of the three different standard screen sizes: Web (large), Tablet (medium), and Mobile (small). For example, you might want a set of six images, with an accompanying text hyperlink beneath each, to be displayed as two rows of three blocks on a large screen, three rows of two blocks on a tablet, and a single column of blocks stacked on top of each other on a mobile phone. The diagram below illustrates these three different layouts.\nResponsive Layout enables you to achieve this by dividing the full width of the screen into 12 notional equal parts. You then express the width of each block within the grid in terms of these parts. For example, if you specify a width of 6, you are saying that the block should be resized to fill exactly half the width of the screen. Blocks are placed side-by-side from left to right when there is space available, but if the next block would cause the total width of the row to exceed 12 parts, then the block is placed beneath to start a new row. So specifying a width of 4 for each of six items would result in two rows of three items. The values for the widths are shown in the diagram above.\nOpen the Responsive Layout window by clicking the new icon on the Home ribbon. In the Responsive Layout window, a grid is called a "Row", and an individual HTML block within the grid is called a "Cell". You need to enter different numbers in the Cell Width fields for each of the three media types (Web, Tablet, and Mobile). Note that you are also able to enter a Cell Offset value for each cell, which results in the cell being indented from the left. For detailed instructions on how to create a responsive layout, refer to the Flare Help at bit.ly/1Wept6q.\nIf you have a strict policy of leaving the style sheet untouched in each of your Flare projects, then it is important to understand that as you create new responsive layouts by (for example) adding new row styles and changing cell widths, you are actually editing the style sheet that is associated with the topic. For this reason, you may want to make use of the new feature in Flare 12 that enables you to link specific topics to a different style sheet that is applied as an override to the project's Master style sheet. This would enable you to add the required CSS code for the responsive layout to this topic-level style sheet and to leave the project style sheet untouched.\nFoundation Framework: This predefined CSS framework is included within your published Flare project. You can use it to apply special classes to your content that specifies how it should be laid out for the three basic screen sizes (large, medium, and small). Like Flare's Responsive Layout window, it is based on dividing the screen width into 12 equal segments. For more information, see foundation.zurb.com.\nCSS3 Flexbox: this is a layout mode built into CSS3 that enables you to achieve complex responsive layouts very simply using standard CSS properties. For more information, see bit.ly/1XiXcdv.\nThe advantages of using the Responsive Layout window are that you don't have to write any code, and that your layouts are shown correctly within Flare's XML Editor (which does not correctly render Foundation or Flexbox content).\nThe new Responsive Layout window in Flare 12 provides a way for authors to set up responsive grid-based layouts without needing to work directly with CSS code. It might be useful for specific types of topic such as the home page or other landing pages. |

It was another great day today in what may be one of our most successful ever digs on the site of Elsyng Palace. We've now fully excavated and recorded the remains of the mortar surface which once held the glazed floor tiles we have been recovering all week, as well as the other distinctive area of pebbles and chalk.\nMeanwhile, the extension in the north-west corner of the trench was further excavated -- this forms a square enclosure and features a small square of bricks in its center -- we now think this is a (originally wooden) staircase with a central column.\nThe construction of the walls of this feature have turned out to be a messy mixture of brick and tile courses, rather than just tiles as we first thought, though it still seems likely that the walls were supporting a timber framed construction -- it's interesting that this is all definately not workmanship of the highest quality despite the fact that it seems to date to the period when the palace had come into royal hands. It may be that these structures were built in something of a hurry in anticipation of the arrival of the royal court.\nWe've continued to make some fascinating finds, most notably today we found a concentration of what looks like a variety of iron tools including a splendid hammer head (pictured) which stil contains the remains of the wooden handle in its socket, as well as what may be a file, possibly a chisel and a small chisel blade that may have been part of the hammer head or possibly a tool in its own right.\nIn light of this, second, third and even fourth opinions have been circulating about the three-pronged iron object we found on day three, which may turn out to be some sort of tool after all.\nWe have still not seen the ends of our building so we still don't have a clear idea of its overall size, so further extensions have been opened to the north and west of the trench. Tomorrow is the last day of the dig and so our last chance to answer this question, although in light of the successes of the week it's unlikely any of our diggers will complain if we have to come back to the same spot next year! |

This is a place that any real watch lover should visit.\nIt could be said that the end game of watch collecting is, quite objectively, vintage Patek Philippe wristwatches. It is this narrow niche of high-collecting that regularly sets records at auction – with rare perpetual calendars, chronographs, and world-timers selling for hundreds of thousand of dollars, and often into the $1,000,000 plus range.\nTypically, the only place to see watches such as these - you know, the famous reference 1518 perpetual calendar chronograph (the first of its kind), the later 2499 (a case for which could be made as the most perfectly balanced watch ever made), the neo-classic 3970, and the ultimate modern watch, the 5970 - would be at auction. Sotheby's, Christie's, Antiquorum, and Bonhams all do battle with one another every season to secure as many of these rare Pateks as possible - but rarely do they amass more than a handful at a time.\nEnter Michael Safdie. Michael Safdie is a self-made man, born and raised in New York, who made a living working in his family's business of fine art, and at a very young age became a passionate watch collector. Like so many others, he was entranced by Patek Philippe, and became, over a period of three decades, one of the world's most prominent collectors of Patek Philippe, both vintage and new. He amassed what is, quite simply, an otherworldly collection of Pateks.\nBut, after thirty years of collecting, one can grow tired. And Safdie loves his Pateks as much today as he did when he was building his collection, but now has a different goal - instead of finding all the most important Pateks in the world for himself, he wants to share them all with the public. You see, Michael Safdie has just opened what could arguably be called the world's first independent Patek Philippe museum, Madison Fine Time.\nThis former art gallery on 61st and Madison here in NYC now serves as a living mecca of the great Pateks of yesteryear, and a glance in the window will reveal a veritable bevy of mega-watches - the type of thing that you simply will not find anywhere else.\nAnd that's the point. Safdie has built a reputation for himself among the watch lovers of the world as one of the most astute collectors there are, and you will only find the finest vintage pieces at Madison Fine Time. Did we mention Safdie is now using the same mindset used to build his own collection to help others find world-class Pateks? He is. And that means that not only can you visit this well-appointed shop on 61st street to see the most impressive collection of watches in New York, but you can also go home with them too.\nSafdie's goal is to share his love of vintage Patek Philippe with the world, and in doing so is offering a truly one of a kind shopping experience for the serious watch buyer. The chance to see EVERY major important Patek Philippe reference of the 20th century, under one roof, next to each other, and available for purchase at fair market prices is simply unheard of. Madison Fine Time will usher in a new wave of Patek buying in certainly New York and the US, but potentially the world, too. There is just nothing like this, anywhere.\nMadison Fine Time is located at 25 East 61st Street in New York City. There is no website (so don't bother searching), and, for now, viewings are by appointment only. They can be reached at [email protected] or 212.355.8200 with inquiries, and we strongly encourage all of our readers, even if they're not interested in buying something, to check out Madison Time in New York. Understanding the watches of last century will play a vital role in appreciating today's pieces, and Madison Time will provide you with an unparalleled look at horological history. |
To improve the quality of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) the CR guideline from the Dutch Royal Society for Physiotherapists (KNGF) has been updated. This guideline can be considered an addition to the 2011 Dutch Multidisciplinary CR guideline, as it includes several novel topics.\nA systematic literature search was performed to formulate conclusions on the efficacy of exercise-based interventions during all CR phases in patients with CHD. Evidence was graded (1–4) according the Dutch evidence-based guideline development (EBRO) criteria. In case of insufficient scientific evidence, recommendations were based on expert opinion. This guideline comprised a structured approach including assessment, treatment and evaluation.\nRecommendations for exercise-based CR were formulated covering the following topics: preoperative physiotherapy, mobilisation during the clinical phase, aerobic exercise, strength training, and relaxation therapy during the outpatient rehabilitation phase, and adoption and monitoring of a physically active lifestyle after outpatient rehabilitation.\nThere is strong evidence for the effectiveness of exercise-based CR during all phases of CR. The implementation of this guideline in clinical practice needs further evaluation as well as the maintenance of an active lifestyle after supervised rehabilitation.\nCoronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common causes of mortality in the Netherlands, with mortality rates of 5724 in men and 4125 for women, in the year 2011 . Multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces mortality rates by 32 % . The main goals of CR are to increase physical and psychosocial recovery after a cardiac event and to reduce the risk for recurrent cardiac events by improving lifestyle (‘cardiovascular risk management’) [3, 4, 5, 6, 7].\nExercise training constitutes an important part of CR and is usually conducted by physiotherapists (PTs). The intervention is aimed at improving exercise capacity and optimising daily physical functioning in relation to individual physical activity limitations and participation restrictions . Also, exercise programs should induce inactive patients to develop and maintain an active lifestyle, and consequently lower their future cardiovascular risk .\nThe importance and the exact content of an adequate CR exercise protocol is not always sufficiently appreciated . Recently, it was reported that among Dutch CR centres, considerable variation exists in methods for determination of exercise intensity, training intensity and volume, and uniformity of physiotherapeutic interventions . A possible explanation for this is that both the 2011 multidisciplinary CR guideline and the 2005 CR guideline by the Dutch Royal Society for Physiotherapists (KNGF) lack clear practical guidance for PTs. Moreover, many international guidelines and position statements are not specifically aimed at the practical application of exercise-based CR [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14]. Therefore, an updated clinical practice guideline on exercise-based CR was developed by the KNGF, describing optimal physiotherapy care during all phases of CR, including assessment, treatment and evaluation. This paper sums up the main conclusion and recommendations.\nThis guideline was systematically developed according to the Physiotherapy Guidelines Development in the Netherlands method . The guideline development group (GDG) consisted of the following disciplines: PTs representing the KNGF, movement scientists, epidemiologists, a representative of the 2011 Dutch multidisciplinary CR guideline committee and a cardiologist representing the CR section of Dutch Society of Cardiology. An external group from relevant disciplines reviewed the draft versions of the guideline. The members of the GDG and the external members did not have any conflicts of interest.\nA computerised literature search was undertaken in the Cochrane library, Medline, PEDro-database, Cinahl and relevant national and international guidelines of CR [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 14, 16], using the following keywords: heart disease, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), angina pectoris (AP), acute or elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), CR, preoperative and postoperative care, exercise and physiotherapy.\nRecommendations for the efficacy of exercise-based CR were based on systematic reviews or meta-analyses, if available completed with more recent random-clinical trials (RCT). Methodological quality of RCT’s was scored on the PEDro scale . Only studies with a PEDro score of more than 5 points out of 10 were included. The level of evidence of the conclusions based on literature has been categorised on the basis of the Dutch national agreements (EBRO/CBO). A distinction was made between four levels, based on the quality of the articles from which the evidence was obtained (Table 1).\nIf there was insufficient evidence, recommendations were based on consensus within the GDG. Additionally, other aspects were used to determine recommendations such as: clinical relevance, safety, patient and professional perspective, availability of devices and resources, health organisations, juridical consequences, ethnical and organisational aspects, and possibilities to confirm this guideline to other monodisciplinary and multidisciplinary CR guidelines.\nPPT is recommended for patients at increased risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) after CABG (Table 2) . PPT reduces mortality, morbidity (fewer airways infections), duration of ventilation and length of hospital stay (Level 1) .\nIf a patient is referred for exercise-based CR prior to CABG, the following information should be provided: diagnosis, comorbidities, medication, and the time span before surgery. PPT should comprise inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using an inspiratory threshold device, coughing, huffing and breathing techniques (to promote sputum evacuation and stimulate optimum ventilation). In addition, aerobic training to preserve or improve physical fitness should be considered (in consultation with the patient’s cardiologist). It is recommended to start IMT at least 2 weeks, and if possible 4 weeks before surgery, at a frequency of 7 days a week using 20 min sessions at an intensity of 30 % of maximum inspiration pressure (PI max). The resistance should be adjusted once a week on the basis of the Borg scale (0–10). If the Borg score (0–10) is < 5, the resistance should be increased by 5 %.\nAn increased PI max (and inspiratory endurance time) to the highest possible extent – measured using a PI max meter.\nRelative rest is recommended during the patient’s stay on the CCU after an acute cardiac event or after their stay at the ICU following CABG (level 4).\nThe PT checks for problems of mucus clearance and ventilation. Treatment is given if necessary (as indicated by the pulmonologist or other specialist). The perioperative pulmonary treatment by the PT involves explaining the purpose of physiotherapy, teaching the patient techniques to improve ventilation and to mobilise and cough up sputum (breathing, huffing and coughing techniques).\nDynamic mobilisation exercise results in a faster recovery and a better physical health at discharge in CABG patients (level 1) [20, 21] and other CHD patients (level 4) compared with rest, and is therefore recommended during the clinical phase.\nThe cardiologist provides the PT prior to the mobilisation phase with the following medical referral information: reason for referral, diagnosis, date of the event or treatment, medication use (type and dosage regime), complications or comorbidities, planned date of hospital admission, and any further diagnostic information deemed relevant by the cardiologist. The clinical mobilisation phase should include functional exercises, such as ADL-related exercises, walking and stair climbing, at an early stage. Exercise intensity should be decreased or exercise should be discontinued if the patient shows signs of excessive strain, such as angina, impaired pump function (shortness of breath disproportionate to exertion, abnormal fatigue disproportionate to exertion, increased peripheral/central oedema), arrhythmias (high heart rate not in proportion to exertion, irregular heartbeat, changes in known arrhythmias), abnormal increase or decrease of blood pressure, fainting, dizziness and vegetative reactions (excessive perspiring, pallor). During this phase, the PT explains the nature of the patient’s CHD and/or the surgery, the further course of the CR program, ways of coping with cardiac and other symptoms and the CHD itself, ways to recognise signs of excessive strain and the way the intensity of activities at home can be gradually increased.\nThe patient knows how to cope with their symptoms and is able to intensify and expand their ADL activities.\nIn some exceptional cases, patients may not have met these goals at the time of discharge from hospital, due to psychosomatic, social or severe physical problems. Such patients may be referred for clinical admission to a specialised multidisciplinary CR centre.\nOutpatient rehabilitation consists of an intake / assessment procedure, a treatment phase and an evaluation, which will be discussed chronologically in the following section.\nAt the start of the outpatient rehabilitation phase, all eligible patients should be referred for an intake procedure, carried out by a member of the rehabilitation team, preferably by using the Dutch Clinical Algorithm for patient needs in CR . During this screening procedure, it is decided which interventions are indicated (Fig 1.).\nIf a patient is referred for an exercise program, an additional assessment should be performed to evaluate the nature and severity of the patient’s health problem in relation to their physical functioning and the extent to which it can be modified.\nThis assessment focuses on identification of impairments of bodily functions, limitations of activities, restrictions of participation and health problems that may influence the choice of exercise activities to be included in the exercise program (Fig. 2). Limitations of activities may regard their nature, duration and/or quality. The PT analyses the performance of problematic activities that were identified using the patient-specific symptoms instrument . The performance of the problematic activities can be graded in terms of duration and intensity, perceived fatigue (Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale 6–20) and in terms of anxiety, chest pain and dyspnoea. When a maximum or symptom-limited exercise test has not been performed at baseline, or for (interim) evaluation of the exercise goals, the functional capacity can be determined by the Shuttle walk test (SWT) [24, 25] or the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) . The MET method and/or the Specific Activity Scale (SAS) can be used to estimate whether any discrepancy between the actual performance level and the target level can be eliminated with a suitable exercise program, and also for (interim) evaluation of the exercise program. Based on the results of the assessment procedure, rehabilitation goals will be defined (Fig. 2).\nThe physiotherapeutic treatment during the outpatient rehabilitation phase comprises 3 modalities: information / advice, a tailored exercise program and a relaxation program (Fig. 3).\nBased on the individual goals, patients’ preferences and limitations established during the assessment procedure in combination with results of the maximum or symptom-limited exercise test and safety criteria, a definite exercise program is composed. These safety criteria are shown in Table 3.\nIf these criteria are violated or if signs of excessive strain occur during exercise, such as severe fatigue or dyspnoea, angina, unexpected increase in breathing rate (> 40 breaths per minute), pulse pressure reduction (≥ 10 mmHg), reduction of systolic blood pressure during exercise (> 10 mmHg) and increasing ventricular or supraventricular arrhythmias, the exercise session will be terminated. In the early stages of the exercise program, the PT systematically measures the patient’s blood pressure and heart rate (and rhythm) before, during and after the exercise session. This supervised period is extended if any arrhythmias, ischaemia, angina, blood pressure abnormalities or supraventricular or ventricular ectopy occur during exercising.\nThe tailored exercise program may comprise practising skills and activities (to enable patients to utilise their general or strength endurance in motor activities), aerobic endurance training, local and strength endurance training, practising functions/activities, and/or training to reduce risk factors. In the case of comorbidities, the GDG recommends starting the exercise program based on the exercise principles relating to the most restrictive pathology or disorder.\nAerobic exercise results in a reduction of general and cardiac mortality and morbidity rates, the number of non-fatal recurrent AMIs, and risk factors, as well as in a significant increase in exercise capacity, and is therefore recommended (Level 1) [9, 28, 29, 30, 31]. High-intensity interval training (HIT) may be recommended because it appears to be more effective than moderate-intensity endurance training (Level 2) . If HIT is applied, the cardiologist should be informed and safety criteria should be closely adhered to.\nThe patient’s exercise capacity can be increased by means of aerobic endurance and interval training, preceded by warming up and followed by cooling down. The exercise principles to be applied depend on the goals of the physiotherapy and the patient’s physical condition. If the goal is to improve the patient’s exercise capacity, the training level can be gradually increased over a number of sessions from 50 to 80 % of VO2 peak/ heart rate reserve, 20–30 min per session, ≥ 2–3 times a week. HIT typically consists of four 4-minute blocks, during which the patient exercises at an intensity of 80–90 % of their VO2 peak/ heart rate reserve, with 3 min of active recovery during which they exercise at 40–50 % of their VO2 peak/ heart rate reserve. Interval training may be indicated for patients in poor physical condition not able to perform exercise of long duration; if the patient is in sufficiently good physical condition, both endurance training and interval training can be used. In both cases an initial 2 week phase of training at 40–50 % of VO2peak/ heart rate reserve is recommended.\nExercise intensity should be based on the results of a maximum or symptom-limited exercise test. The optimised exercise zone can be calculated using the Karvonen formula, which calculates the exercise heart rate as a percentage of the heart rate reserve, added to the resting heart rate . If respiratory gas analysis was performed during a maximum or symptom-limited exercise testing (because of unexplained dyspnoea or comorbidity [COPD]), exercise intensity should preferably be based on a percentage of VO2 peak, VO2 reserve or the ventilatory or anaerobic threshold, converted into heart rate or wattage. If the patient is on beta-blockers, the exercises should be based on the results of the maximum or symptom-limited exercise test with beta-blocker use. If the patient’s heart rate increase during the maximum or symptom-limited exercise test is severely limited, the exercise intensity should be based on a percentage of the maximum capacity expressed in wattage or METs, and/or a Borg score (6–20).\nStrength training is recommended as an adjunct to aerobic exercise . Strength training increases muscle strength and strength endurance, resulting in a reduction of activity limitations and increased participation, especially among older (and fragile) patients, who experience exertion-related limitations due to lack of muscle strength and strength endurance (Level 1) . Submaximal strength training is not advised for patients who underwent surgery by sternotomy during the first 8 weeks. Symmetrical functional exercises within the pain threshold can be conducted after 6 weeks (in order to prevent a frozen shoulder) (Level 4).\nMuscle strength can be improved using 8–10 exercises of the large muscle groups, at a frequency of 2–3 times a week (depending on the goals) against a resistance that is gradually increased from 50 % to 70–80 % of the one-repetition maximum (1RM). Exercising should preferably start with 2 weeks at 30–40 % of 1RM. The GDG recommends estimating the maximum strength on the basis of the 4–7RM, and then approaching the training load by using the pyramid diagram (Fig. 4).\nTable 4 shows a broad specification of the training variables for the various priorities within the exercise program.\nA relaxation program (including breathing therapy) is recommended in CHD patients. A relaxation program reduces cardiac mortality and morbidity, and has a favourable effect on physical, psychological and social parameters (including resting heart rate and fear of exercise) (Level 1) , and appears to be superior in combination with an exercise program compared with only an exercise program (level 2) .\nCHD patients should attend 2 sessions to try out the relaxation program. If the program proves beneficial, they attend a further 4–6 sessions lasting 60–90 min each. The relaxation program integrates cognitive therapy and physical relaxation exercises. The cognitive themes addressed include understanding the value of rest, the balance between exertion and rest, the influence of psychological factors on physical functioning and differentiating between cardiac factors in relation to stress, anger, depression and pressure of time. Instructions for relaxation can be given during exercising (active relaxation) or at rest (passive relaxation), partly in the context of warming up and cooling down, and partly as a separate relaxation program.\nIn addition to a ‘continuous’ evaluation over the entire course of the exercise program, more comprehensive interim evaluations should be carried out at least every 4 weeks, as well as at the end of the CR program. If patients only partially attained their goals, but are likely not to continue the rehabilitation activities independently (at home), the CR program is prolonged or the patient is referred to a primary care physiotherapy practice. If patients did not attain their goals and it seems likely that they have attained their maximum achievable level, they should be referred back to the multidisciplinary CR team to explore other treatment options.\nTable 5 shows the intended outcome for each physiotherapeutic goal, instruments recommended for interim and final evaluation and the final targets that should be pursued. The PT also evaluates whether the patient has acquired sufficient knowledge about secondary prevention, and evaluates the goals of the relaxation program.\nThe PT should report to the multidisciplinary CR team about the treatment process, the treatment outcomes and the recommendations (aftercare). This should happen at least at the end of the treatment, but possibly also during the treatment period. In addition, the PT informs the patient’s cardiologist, family physician and, if applicable, their rehabilitation physician or company doctor. The CR is then either continued or concluded, after consultation with the multidisciplinary team.\nPatients are advised to continue exercise to reduce the cardiac risk profile after the CR (Level 1) [37, 38]. A follow-up is recommended to encourage inactive patients to become physically active again (Level 3) .\nPatients may be referred to exercise programs offered by certified exercise facilities, but may also individually make use of regular sports facilities. Patients with CHD who are unable to maintain an active lifestyle without assistance, or have not yet attained all the physical goals during the outpatient phase, but are deemed to be capable of doing so, should participate in an exercise program which is designed in accordance with the KNGF guideline for exercise interventions in CHD , or an equivalent KNGF-accredited intervention, supervised by a primary care PT who has completed additional training. Monitoring is important in order to identify any relapses at an early stage and intervene. The GDG recommends monitoring the patient’s active lifestyle (preferably after 6 and 12 months), by activity monitoring devices and or telephone or using a web-based or printed questionnaire.\nThis guideline provides an evidence-based instrument to assist in practical and clinical decision-making during exercise-based CR in all phases of CR. Strong evidence is found for preoperative physiotherapy, mobilisation at an early stage in the clinical phase, aerobic exercise, strength training and relaxation therapy during the outpatient rehabilitation phase, and the adoption and monitoring of a physically active lifestyle after outpatient rehabilitation.\nAs compared with the 2005 CR KNGF guideline and the 2011 multidisciplinary CR guideline , several novel topics have been included in the present guideline. First, recommendations were made with respect to the preoperative phase for patients undergoing CABG. Second, this guideline provides clear practical guidance on how to tailor exercise with respect to intensity and duration individually, using results of a maximum or symptom-limited exercise test. In this way we aim to reduce the considerable practice variation which has recently been reported in Dutch CR centres , and thereby, to increase effectivity of exercise-based CR in the Netherlands . A third novel topic is the addition of HIT as a training strategy in CHD patients. Finally, this guideline focuses more on the adoption and monitoring of a physically active lifestyle after the outpatient rehabilitation phase.\nThe implementation of this guideline in clinical practice needs further evaluation . Compliance to the guideline needs to be stimulated by, for example, adopting it into the Dutch clinical algorithm . Also research is needed on strategies to improve monitoring and follow-up of the maintenance of a physical active lifestyle after supervised CR; for example by implementing activity monitoring devices combined with telemonitoring, or by web-based coaching platforms to guide patients . Finally, more research is needed into characteristics and modalities of physical activity and exercise training in cardiovascular risk management in the long term .\nWe gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the other members of the GDG: Audrey Merry, Rob Klaver, Sandra Schoonewille, Sandra Verhagen, Harold Leeneman, Judith Verbeek, Shanne Bloemen and Angelique de Rijk, and external reference group: Rob Bertram, Jan van Dixhoorn, Marleen Buruma and Erik Hulzebos.

The bicycle trailer Big Boy is extremely multifunctional, uncomplicated, unbreakable, and inexpensive. Its design is simple and convincing and has proven 100,000-fold.\nThe plastic box is made of shock-resistant 100% recycling material and has a load volume of 90 litres. It is extremely robust and can be removed quickly. The trailer can be loaded with a distributed load up to 90 kg and is perfectly suited for all hobby craftsmen, indispensable for gardening and a useful helper in the stable and the pasture, fishing or for a larger purchase.\nThe 16“ spoked aluminium wheels guarantee a quiet and easy drive and a comfortable handling. It is pneumatically tyred. The high-toe arm can slightly be adjusted in height to optimally adapt it to the frame size of the bicycle.\nThe tubular steel frame is black powder-coated. The scope of delivery contains the fitting hitch-type coupling and reflectors. A plastic top, deliverable against extra charge, lying slack, however, since the upper edge of the bowl can vary due to the kind of loading. In these cases the bowl and top have to be drilled through at the intended positions thus the top can be fastened by means of a splint or a padlock.\nThe bicycle trailer Big Boy B is the modern brother of the Big Boy A. They are of identical purpose, setting, and quality (see Big Boy A).\nThe Big Boy B is equipped with the Roland drawbar adapter system allowing the use of the trailer either with the high-toe arm adjustable in height or with a low-toe arm with a Weber adapter.\nDue to the possibility to adapt the height the toe-arm alternatives can be mounted to the bicycle in an optimal way. This increases the cycling safety and the comfort. With the low-toe arm only the Weber E coupling is possible, contained in the scope of delivery of course. The small wheels do not allow a supporting leg.\nThe bicycle trailer Big Boy D is identical with the bicycle trailer Big Boy A. It has a so-called import drawbar though. Due to the possibility to adapt the height the toe-arm alternatives can be mounted to the bicycle in an optimal way. |
I finished all my homework and decided to head over to Gio's, Matt was having yet another one of his concubine come over and I really didn't feel like being around that. When I got to Gio's I felt like I was walking into something I shouldn't have..... Gio and Gavin stood off to the side while on one side of the room sat Papi and Jayden while on on the other sat Julian and Steve. Gio walked over to me and asked me to wait in his room while they hashed out there issues, as I was walking back to his bedroom I noticed Steve giving me the stink eye so I smirked and kept on walking, it would be too easy to say something to him but I didn't want to mess up their bro moment. I walked into Gio's room and started going through his books, I swear Gio had the best taste in book..... now his taste in movies was another question. After waiting for like an hour I decided to take a shower and get ready for the show I was planning on putting on for Gio, as I washed my body I felt a large hand cover mine, take my sponge and start washing my back.\n"Sorry about that we were just having a little meeting to clear the air..... regardless of how I feel about those two, they are Gavin's best friends and they're going to be around a lot. I just don't want there to be any animosity Julian agrees to leave Quinton alone and they've both agreed not to say anything to you, as long as you play nice so for me I'm asking you to be nice..... at least until after they help me move all my stuff." Gio said kissing my neck.\n"Wait y'all are moving?" I asked trying to keep my balance as Gio's very touch made my knees weak.\n"Yeah but we'll talk about it after our shower." Gio said kissing me. We finished our shower and I was a little pissed that he had a lot more willpower than I did because I really wanted to get to the best part of the night. "Okay so here's the thing my mom, you know how protective she is of her baby boy... well she doesn't like this neighborhood and wants me to move into my grandparents house. It's bigger more out the way and in a nice neighborhood, so after talking with Jayden and Papi we've decided that yeah we'll all move in there." Gio said.\n"You gotta let me drive the U-Haul." I said smiling.\n"Don't ask me way but I love driving U-Haul trucks..... that's actually how I learned to drive. My dad was of the mindset that if you could drive a U-Haul or an eighteen-wheeler then you could drive anything." I said smiling.\n"Why am I just now hearing this?" Gio asked laughing and I shrugged. "But there is one more thing....... uhh..... we're getting another roommate, Nik is moving here to Ann Arbor." Gio said and I knew about him and Nik's relationship, I remember they got into during our winter break trip, I also remember the look in Gio's eyes when he told me the story about how Nik and his friends jumped him, so I knew there was a lot of anger there on Gio's part but I was confused as to why he agreed to move in with him. "I bet you're wondering why I agreed to this? Look I'm trying to be a better person, I can forgive but I won't forget.... I'll give Nik and chance but the first time he tries me we'll Gavin will be getting a new roommate, just promise me something Jeremy; Nik has a bad habit of trying to get with my dudes, he thinks everything is a competition between us and there's going to be a point in time where he tries to make a move on you..... when that happens you gotta let me know, don't try to stop me from doing something stupid just tell me and I'll handle it from there." Gio said. |

Is this the final cut list for first phase of Central City in Motion projects?\nPBOT map of Central City in Motion projects shared by Business for a Better Portland today.\nOne week after an open house where the public was asked to rank a list of potential projects to be funded through the Central City in Motion plan, the Portland Bureau of Transportation has trimmed the list from 18 to 11. PBOT also seems to have axed key parts of two remaining projects.\nAt least that’s how it appears in an email just sent to members of a local, pro-business advocacy group.\nThe map and list of projects provided by BBPDX is different than the map shown at the open house last week. The most recent map made public by PBOT showed 18 “project bundles” (a mix of protected bike lanes, crossing updates, and enhanced transit lanes). The map revealed in the email from BBPDX today shows just 11 projects — two of which have had key elements removed since last week.\nCompare the map above with 11 projects to this one from last week with 18 projects.\nPBOT has $9 million already dedicated to the projects and expects a total budget of $30 million. The agency is making its final efforts to garner feedback and come up with a list of “transformative” projects that can be built right away (which likely means spring/summer 2019 when construction season begins again and the requisite engineering and design work can be completed).\nIn addition, the new map no longer shows SE Clay and Madison streets being part of project #12, which would now only include changes to SE Hawthorne. Project #3 has also been changed to only include changes to SE 7th. It no longer shows crossing updates to SE 6th or the bus/freight/transit-only lanes proposed for the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd/Grand Avenue couplet.\nProject votes from the public at an open house on September 18th.\nMy ballpark estimate shows that PBOT has sliced about half of the $72.3 million price tag from their list of 18 projects, bringing them much closer in line to the expected funds they have to spend.\nThe email from BBPDX is supportive of the projects overall and demonstrates a collaborative relationship with PBOT. This stands in contrast to the recent statement from the Central Eastside Industrial Council which urged its members to voice concerns over how the Central City in Motion project would reduce parking in their district.\nWe have not seen any publication of this new map or an explanation of the prioritization decisions from PBOT. We’ve reached out to them for comment and will update this post when we hear back.\nThe post Is this the final cut list for first phase of Central City in Motion projects? appeared first on BikePortland.org. |
But what exactly is PriPAYD ? Basically, it’s a much less intrusive form of PAYD that aggregates all a vehicle’s data directly inside the electronic unit. Belgium is already exploring this idea.\nA study on this subject has recently been revealed in a report done by TRONCOSO C., DANEZIS G., KOSTA E. & PRENEEL B. (Faculty of Law of the K.U. Leuven, Belgium), made public on October 29, 2007 and entitled "PriPAYD: Privacy Friendly Pay-As-You-Drive Insurance, In Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society 2007" (WPES'07, Alexandria, Virginia, USA).\nit’s simply a question of calculating the insurance premium directly inside the onboard electronic unit and then transmitting only aggregate data to the insurance companies. To do so, it is necessary to have a database of road maps embedded inside the on-board electronic unit.\nThis process guarantees complete privacy protection since, in this case, it’s not necessary to transfer any raw data outside the vehicle.This is what the authors of the report refer to as "PriPAYD: Privacy Friendly Pay-As-You-Drive".\nFrance hasn’t been lingering far behind either ; the French PriPAYD solution has been around since 2001 and it’s called e-bonus®.\nThe aggregation of data: why is it important? |
