2) The second requirement for economic democracy is that increasing purchasing capacity must be guaranteed to each and every individual. In economic democracy local people will hold economic power. Consequently, local raw materials will be used to promote the economic prosperity of the local people. That is to say, the raw materials of one socio-economic unit should not be exported to another unit. Instead, industrial centres should be built up wherever raw materials are available. This will create industries based on locally available raw materials and ensure full employment for all local people.
Commentary: Understanding that the minimum requirements for life are the rights of every human being, the question is how to ensure these rights. Certainly not by a party dictatorship, as in communism. Certainly not by socialism, where bureaucrats micromanage people’s economic lives and makes plans without knowing the local area. If the state is to supply cereals, pulses, salt, gram, ghee, butter, etc. to all people then naturally the state has to institute some process of control which people may not like. The other disadvantage of guaranteeing the supply of minimum requirements is that if consumable goods are supplied to everyone, people will become lethargic and individual initiative is retarded. Economic democracy is not guaranteed by government handouts because being a beggar of one’s own government is not freedom. In countries where there used to be a good income provided as welfare payments, often people were seen to do low-level jobs for a short time and then quit and spend the money and then again work when the money ran out. This type of behaviour arises because people are not in control over their economic destiny and hence do not care about their long-term future and do not take responsibility for their region and nation.
For people to take charge of their own economic destiny requires them to have the capacity to earn their money. This is why PROUT believes in the guarantee of purchasing power of every individual and community must be incorporated into all constitutions – be they provincial, national or global. Purchasing power simply means that people earn enough income to buy the basic food, clothes, medicine, education, housing, telephone, etc that are needed in daily life. Furthermore the purchasing power should increase over time so that people are able to buy more items. This is because, as per PROUT the sign of a healthy economy is the increase in the standard of living of the common people. Per capita income is not a proper indication of the increase in the standard of living of the people because while people may have very high incomes they may not be able to purchase the necessities of life. If the per capita income is low and people have great purchasing capacity they are much better off. So, purchasing capacity and not per capita income is the true measure of economic prosperity.
The problem today is that although there has been inordinately high investment, the purchasing power of labourers has not been sufficient for them to meet the minimum requirements. Hence, while on the one hand labourers received less consumable goods due to less purchasing power, on the other hand entrepreneurs have captured excessive purchasing power and consumable goods causing excessive disparities in wealth. Economic balance has been upset. So, increasing the expenses of a government department at the cost of developmental programmes amounts to committing economic suicide as the workers will have no money to buy the products they produce.
The very psychology of capitalists is to make profit from the rolling of money or global flow of currencies and commodities. When they discover that the investment of money does not bring profit up to their expectations, then they stop rolling money. This keeps money immobile or inert. As a result, consequently there is no investment, no production, and no income and hence no purchasing power.
The situation becomes so dangerous that there are few buyers to buy commodities – both in the exploiting nations and the exploited nations. This is the fundamental crisis in capitalism is that the maximization of profit leads to excess production and the reduction of the purchasing power of the common people. This leads eventually to an economic recession or depression. To save society from depression, the approach of PROUT is to increase purchasing power by increasing production, reduce disparities in the value of wealth, and increase the circulation of money; that is, by keeping money rolling.
In the subtle economic sense, the value of wealth is the real wealth. Wealth, if not properly defined, may mean only riches. But the value of wealth is to be measured in terms of its capacity to purchase commodities. That is, the purchasing capacity of wealth is its real value. This real value of wealth has not yet been properly understood in numerical terms by economists.
A sadvipra or spiritual revolutionary is one who liberates people from harmful physical exploitation and also psychic exploitation by fighting with them to seize control of their local economy from bureaucratic and corporate usurpers. In that case the state need not adopt control measures. When people have economic dignity and self-respect they will naturally become active and their potential talents will blossom.
It is not enough to provide the minimum necessities of life – simultaneously, the wealth of the country should also be increased. If sufficient wealth is not generated to meet the growing demands of the people, seeds of discontent will settle in their minds. So the increase in population should also be accompanied by an increase in the generation of national wealth. This increase in national wealth is not achieved by economic centralization which creates poor, marginalized regions and rich regions for this regional economic exploitation leads to eventual breakdown of the national economy.
Industrial decentralization is only possible in a collective economic structure. No profit motive will remain in such a structure. Capitalists start industries only where the following factors are available: (1) capital; (2) labour; (3) favourable [economic] climate; and (4) a ready market for sales. They always try to decrease the cost of production and therefore hence they will never support the principle of decentralization. In the collective economic structure the profit motive has no place – here industry is for consumption. In the collective economic structure, self-supporting economic units are to be strengthened.
Capitalism was based on the exploitation at the county level, then at the regional level and then at the national level. What PROUT advocates is the reversal of this trend or economic decentralization. This mandates the creation of a grassroots economic revival based on the local talent and local people charting their own economic destiny in consultation with ecologists, economists and other experts. What this means practically is that local resources will not be stolen by other regions or nations. The local resources will be used to create local industries. This will stop the brain drain as well as urban flight which not only destroys agricultural production but also results in moral and cultural debasement. This will also foster the development of local, regional and global civilization. Moral values, folk culture and spiritual or mysticism thrive in a decentralized society where they emerge naturally out of the process of ecological, economic, psychological harmony with the local environment and with the inner realm of spiritual bliss. Furthermore indigenous peoples (adivasis) who are what is called the Fourth World in a decentralized economy will be able to attain economic and cultural freedom from exploitation by the majority ethnic population. In reality indigenous peoples used to know countless rare plants that have thus far not been used as crops because of the monoculture of capitalist agriculture.
It is not enough to simply create a few industries. Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar called for an industrial revolution based on local resources including rare, lesser known ones such as for example types of bamboo which are as hard as steel. The goal of this industrial revolution is to create economic independence as far as possible at the block (district subdivision) level, at the district level and then at the regional (samaja) level. The aim behind this industrial revolution is to create regional cultural and economic freedom and sovereignty (svaraja). For this industrial revolution we must not depend upon raw materials from foreign countries. Remember that no country should depend on imported raw materials for development. Indigenous raw materials, that is, materials available within the country itself, must be used for this purpose. Those who love society – those who love the people of their country and are keen to bring about their socio-economic elevation – must think in terms of an industrial revolution based on the raw materials available in their own socio-economic unit.
The economy of the area and the social life of the people should be balanced. The development of big industries alone should be avoided, because in such industries the local people have no place.
Maximum industries should be developed in the local area according to the availability of raw materials or local consumption. This principle will develop the economic potential of a socioeconomic unit by placing economic power into the hands of the local people and divesting outsiders of their control over the economy. In an economy most industries will be run as agricultural, producer or consumer cooperatives creating a new kind of cooperative spirit or cooperative dynamo. Such an approach will place economic power into the hands of those who work physically or intellectually for proper production, stripping capitalists of their exploitative economic power. Thus maximum industrial development will be assured.
Several corollaries arise from this principle. First, industries should utilize locally available local raw materials and should not import raw materials from outside the socioeconomic unit. Raw materials are the basic ingredients or resources necessary to make finished products. The tyre industry, for example, requires rubber plantations as rubber sap is the basic raw material for this industry. If the topography of the local area favours the ample growth of rubber trees, then industries may be created around this raw material. Or, if alternative synthetic materials are available, a synthetic tyre industry may be developed.
There are several reasons why industries should utilize locally available raw materials. First, not all areas have the same socio-economic potential. Different areas will naturally be conducive to producing different kinds of raw materials, as in the case of plant-based raw materials. Industries based on locally available raw materials can produce commodities cheaply, be located near ready supplies of raw materials, and ensure their self-reliance. These advantages are not apparent where there is a dependence on outside raw materials.
Secondly, raw material producers, especially producer cooperatives, will prosper as there will be ready markets for their products.
Thirdly, industries will feel secure when they know that sufficient raw materials are available to supply their needs, and they will be able to plan their future production efficiently.
Fourthly, many large capitalists deliberately influence the economic and political policies of a local area by preventing the growth of local industries based on the local raw materials. They further exploit the local people by selling manufactured goods in the local markets which are made from locally produced raw materials. Australia, for example, imports many manufactured goods from Japan which are produced from Australian raw materials. Encouraging the growth of local industries based on local raw materials will terminate the dominance individual and collective capitalists exercise over the local markets, ending the drainage of capital vital for the local area’s economic growth.
Another corollary is that local raw materials should not be exported – only manufactured goods should be exported. Local raw material prices in the export market are subject to manipulation and erratic fluctuations as they are currently traded through speculative commodity markets which are controlled by vested interests. To root out dishonesty from the field of trade, free trade should be established throughout the world as far as possible.
Manufactured goods, on the other hand, are generally subject to less price manipulation and command better prices than raw materials. By manufacturing locally finished products, a socioeconomic unit can conserve its reserve bullion and improve the purchasing capacity of the local people.
A third corollary is that if no potential exists to produce the manufactured goods required by industry in the local area, only then should the importation of such goods be allowed. Importation of manufactured goods means that local capital is being transferred to another socio-economic unit which has produced the product. The drainage of capital is always detrimental to the economic growth of a socio-economic unit; therefore unnecessary importation should always be discouraged. Barter agreements should be arranged between trading units so that no net loss occurs to either of the trading partners. Barter agreements in foreign trade are especially beneficial for those socio-economic units which have very few commodities to sell but a large number of commodities to buy, and their saleable commodities, though few in number, are large in quantity.
Thus, where there is a plentiful supply of local raw materials, industries can be developed for local demand according to local consumption, and if applicable the surplus may be exported. The availability of raw materials will ensure the long term viability of local industries.

Bulgaria has passed a law today that restricts people, public institutions and NGOs’ ability to go to court for the environment. The law imposes hefty costs on individuals and NGOs wanting to appeal a judgment allowing a large industrial project to go ahead.
The new law voted in by the Bulgarian parliament applies to court cases dealing with Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and other environmental permitting decisions. These exist to make sure infrastructure projects do not cause significant environmental harm – and these court cases are the only route to challenge such projects.
But the new law is designed to make it very hard for individuals or NGOs to bring a successful case by forcing them to pay a fee to appeal. The cost is based on the value of the project and is capped at 4,500 BGN (approx. 2,300 Euro).
ClientEarth energy lawyer Dominique Doyle said: “Passing this legislation is an affront to environmental protections laid down in law, depriving Bulgaria’s citizens of their environmental rights. Pricing individuals and NGOs out of appealing cases means the government can forge ahead with harmful projects.
This is the latest in a series of moves that put the rule of law in Bulgaria in question. The country has already been issued a caution over its poor access to the courts.
A year ago, the government also adopted a law limiting similar environmental court cases concerning ‘projects of national importance’, to one instance, with just a six-month window to decide a case. ClientEarth and Za Zemiata (Friends of the Earth Bulgaria), supported by more than 10 other NGOs, wrote to the European Commission last year when these laws were proposed, expressing serious concern about the barriers of massive costs and lack of right to appeal put on access to justice.
At the time, no further investigation was launched, but now that the new law has been passed, the organisations will look to take further action at national and EU level.

I would be hard pressed to think of just one word to describe Motherhood, but I read it described as relentless elsewhere and that is just about perfectly fitting.
The same fights, the same chores, the same fun, the same games. Those moments that you want to last forever, and the ones that you want to pack a bag and run away from it all. I have spent so many moments in the past few years wanting to run away from it all.
But I know those days will pass all too quickly. We are a third of the way through Gwen's childhood. Before I know it she will be off to college, or traveling the world, and the relentless chase will be... well, not "over," but maybe not so relentless.
So one day at a time.
And hear this, Mama. I see you.
In the store when your baby is having a meltdown. When you're at the end of your rope. When you are having a second to yourself. When you are having the best time with your little love. I see you.
And I send you all my love, because I get it.
"When my children remember their childhood, I want only for them to remember that their mother gave it her all. She worried too much, she failed at times, and she did not always get it right.. but she tried her hardest to teach them about kindness, love, compassion, and honesty. Even if she had to learn from her own mistakes, she loved them enough to keep going, even when things seemed hopeless, even with life knocked her down. I want them to remember me as the woman who always got back up."
Hi that quote "when my children remember their childhood" is not author "unknown" it was written by a woman named Erin James.

At Synergy Merchant Services, we take great pride in the fact that we have helped Canadian business owners increase the success of their businesses over the past few years. In addition to providing them with the extra capital needed to grow and expand, we encourage our clients to think of the innovative ways that they can remain competitive in the marketplace.
It is the forward-thinking and motivated type of personality that we most enjoy encountering in our day to day activities. Business owners who think first about how to make their money work for them before thinking about the cost of attaining the merchant cash advance generally find themselves in the most prosperous of positions.
One of the greatest benefits of our cash advance program is the fact that no interest ever accrues on an outstanding balance. Unlike with bank loans, our clients are not charged an interest rate. Of course, we never hide the fact that there is a charge for the money we provide our clients. This cost – our “discount fee” – is revealed in our free, no obligation quotes.
It is called a discount fee simply because it represents the discount we receive as a result of buying a portion of a merchant’s future credit and debit sales. Naturally, the amount of cash that is advanced upfront is less than the total amount of the repayment. How could there not be a cost of doing business?
Our clients find that knowing this cost right away is of great use to them. This way, they can plan to spend the money they receive in such a way that it secures them greater profits moving forward.
The most successful business owners work into their own charges to their customers amounts that will ensure that their profits rise and that repayment is easy. They see the merchant cash advance as a means of making even more money, and in so doing worry not about having to pay back the advance in addition to its cost.
Generally, by the time the advance is paid back, a merchant’s increased sales ensures that his or her income demonstrates a higher profit margin. Through expansion, renovation, the purchase of new equipment, advertising and other business-growing methods, our clients are finding that paying back the cost of the cash advance is a painless process.
Consider too, that there is no fixed repayment schedule. Our clients sometimes forget that they are even making payments since no cheque need ever be written. We encourage those who may be thinking of growing their businesses in the new year to consider this alternative source of merchant funding.
We know that if you make your cash work for you, you will not worry about the charge for the money. Instead, you will be laughing all the way to the bank. Ironic, isn’t it?

What Happens When You Ignore The Needs Of People With Taxing Behaving Conditions?
You are here: Gats Counselling > Uncategorised > What Happens When You Ignore The Needs Of People With Taxing Behaving Conditions?
There are different kinds of people in the world. Therefore, to lead a successful life we need to communicate with each other. However, some people are not able to do that successfully because they suffer from taxing behaving conditions. As a society, we need to respect them and help them in what way we can. As they are a part of this world too we cannot ignore their needs.
Anyone who wants to help such people can get the knowledge and understanding of the situation by following a good challenging behaviour. There are other methods to learn more about such taxing behaving conditions too. If we do not learn about these things and do not help our fellow humans suffering from taxing behaving conditions, there are going to be problems which just do not affect them but all of us.
When we are not learning about taxing behaving conditions and helping people suffering from such taxing behaving conditions, we are not giving them a chance to succeed in life. They are going to have a hard time facing life alone. They are going to need the support of their families, friends and even colleagues. By taking time to learn about these matters we are helping them to be as successful as they possibly can even though they are suffering from a condition.
If you have a member in the family who has a taxing behaving condition it is going to be hard for him or her to connect with the other members of the family. It is not as if he or she does not want to. He or she finds it difficult to express themselves. That is why you as the family should then get to know about ways in which you can better communicate with him or her. You can get the knowledge about that by following programmes such as one of the autism workshops Perth.
At this time and age we do not have to make taxing behaving conditions a reason for the lack of team work in a company. However, that is what is going to happen if you do not connect with the employees who are suffering from such taxing behaving conditions.
Interacting with people suffering from taxing behaving conditions can be difficult if you have no idea about what they are going through. That is why you need to get professional help and understand about the matter better.

Few 20-year-olds folks have recognized lives of such unfathomable privilege and devastating tragedy as Paris Jackson’s.
Paris is financially set to the purpose that she by no means has to do work a day in her life if she so chooses, and he or she was born into one of the crucial well-known households within the historical past of the leisure trade.
But Paris has additionally skilled a disproportionate quantity of grief and uncertainty in her younger life, as her world was thrown into chaos following the demise of her iconic father, Michael Jackson.
As we have discovered far too many occasions up to now, the mixture of outstanding privilege and unresolved trauma can usually show lethal, and sources say Paris’ household is frightened of the street she’s headed down.
In the years since Paris’ suicide try, the up-and-coming mannequin usually appeared to have discovered a measure of stability.
But in accordance with a brand new report revealed right now by Radar Online, these days are lengthy gone, and Paris is again to partying laborious and interesting in self-destructive conduct.
Recently, Paris started courting Gabriel Glenn, a musician who her household fears has been a unfavorable affect.
“Paris is so lost right now and everyone believes that she is doing drugs with Gabriel,” a Jackson household buddy tells Radar Online.
In latest weeks, Katherine and different relations have come to worry that Paris is headed for an additional psychological breakdown, and her unpredictable conduct has led to fears of an undiagnosed psychological well being dysfunction.
“She adjustments her thoughts each different minute about what route she goes in and doesn’t know who she is anymore,” says the supply.
“It is so unhappy,” the insider provides.
“Paris will not be even 21 but and he or she is photographed in a distinct bar each different evening.
Efforts at an intervention have so far failed, as Paris has been down this street earlier than and is aware of how you can keep away from such conditions.
“She won’t let anyone come close enough to her to help,” says the supply.
Unfortunately, that appears unlikely so long as Paris is caught within the cycle of partying all evening and holing up with Glenn all day.
“She is locking herself up in her home with Gabriel and retains all the pieces a secret,” says the insider.
Paris’ scenario is very scary, as the kids of addicts are much more more likely to endure from habit themselves.
Here’s hoping Michael’s beloved daughter is ready to discover the assistance she wants earlier than it is too late.

I have again chosen to remain alcohol-free throughout the month of January. It is an exercise in self-control and self-denial. It gives me the time to reflect on my relationship with alcohol. The reflection then spreads into other areas of my life, like beer spilled on a polished table.
I enjoy the taste of real ales, and miss these when I visit pubs for lunch during this period of self-imposed abstemiousness. I enjoy the taste of wine with my meals in the evening. These are little joys to look forward to. I enjoy the initial feelings of warmth, lightness and disinhibition that come with the first few sips of an alcoholic drink. At times, I want those later feelings, of being on the edge of self-control (of thoughts, of tongue, of body), that come with increased consumption. Rarely, I am overcome with a desire to drink to excess, to lose control, but this is often followed by regrets and always by a large degree of physical discomfort. I like the idea of being drunk, but in reality I do not enjoy the feeling, and find myself eating rubbish food to soak up the alcohol – a classic case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. In terms more in tune with the subject, it is like trying to put the cork back into the Champagne bottle.
I am not experiencing any cravings for alcohol, but I am aware of something rewarding missing from the changed rhythm of my life. I feel a need to activate my pleasure circuitry in other ways, to get that satisfying ping of dopamine release – be it with chocolate, or biscuits, or a savoury snack . This desire has to be balanced against my other life and health goals, particularly my marathon training (more of which in later posts!).
I feel I have arrived at a stage of life akin to a seaside town out of season. There are chill winds coming off the sea under grey skies. The paint is beginning to peel from the window frames of the souvenir shops along the seafront. The partially illuminated sign advertising the amusement arcade is a taunting misnomer – the first missing “m” could be replaced with a “b”, and would there really be any difference? The fairground rides are still, the garishly painted horses tethered for the winter, and tarpaulins draped over the fire engines and police cars, their sirens silenced.
Yet even in this diminished landscape, little joys can be found – the last fish and chip shop still open, enjoying their offerings while huddled in a shop doorway to escape the wind; the sound of waves breaking; the smell of the sea and everything visceral that Robin Hood’s Bay in February offers the senses. This time, so long ago, and this place, so far away, have always been emblematic of melancholia, and in a sense I have come home for a while. The only fear is that the summer visitors do not return.
“This time, so long ago, and this place, so far away, have always been emblematic of melancholia, and in a sense I have come home for a while. The only fear is that the summer visitors do not return…” Ok, Derek, my friend. I need a word “intervention” here. Are we talking about getting older? What exactly does that comment about the visitors mean? Hey, dude! Do I need to be worried about you???
It might be cold and snowy today, but through by windows I can see helebores trying to flower and there are catkins on the hazel tree. Chin up, Derek; all is not lost just yet.

SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: PEOPLE IN AMERICA -- a VOA Special English program about famous Americans of the past. Today, Harry Monroe and Kay Gallant tell the story of dancer and movie star, Fred Astaire.
HARRY MONROE: The year is nineteen thirty-two. The United States is suffering the greatest economic depression in its history. Jobs are hard to find.
One young man is attempting to get a job dancing in the movies. Earlier, he and his sister had made a short film showing how they danced and sang. A motion picture company official watches the film. He writes this about the young man: "Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little."
Even with this poor report, the young man still gets a job in the movies. And -- in time -- his acting, singing and dancing changed the American motion picture musical. His name was Fred Astaire.
KAY GALLANT: Fred Astaire was born in the Middle Western city of Omaha, Nebraska, in eighteen ninety-nine. He was the second child of an Austrian beer maker, Frederick Austerlitz, and his wife, Ann Gelius Austerlitz. Fred and his sister, Adele, learned to dance when they were very young. Their mother took them to New York to study dance. They performed in their first professional show when Fred was ten years old and Adele was twelve. Later, as teenagers, the two danced in many shows throughout the United States.
Their first big success was on Broadway in nineteen seventeen. One critic wrote that Fred danced as if he had no bones.
HARRY MONROE: The Astaires -- as they were known -- quickly became Broadway stars. During the nineteen twenties, they sang and danced in eleven different shows. They also performed in England.
In nineteen thirty-two, Adele Astaire married a British man, and stopped performing. Critics had always considered her a better dancer than her brother. But Fred did not give up. He would go on alone, in the movies. Many years later in the film, "The Bandwagon," he played a man in a similar situation.
KAY GALLANT: One of Fred's first films was called "Flying Down To Rio." It was in this movie that he first danced with a young woman named Ginger Rogers.
Fred and Ginger were not the stars of the picture. But when they danced this dance, The Carioca, everyone knew that something important was happening in the world of movie dancing.
HARRY MONROE: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made nine movies together. Their dancing was considered -- and still is considered -- the best ballroom dancing in the world.
Dance critic Arlene Croce wrote: "Astaire and Rogers became the most popular team the movies have ever known. Their dancing was a vehicle of serious emotion between a man and a woman. It never happened in the movies again."
Many great American songwriters wanted to write songs for Fred and Ginger. Among them were Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and George and Ira Gershwin. They liked the way Fred sang a song. He did it simply, with respect for the words. One of these songs was Cole Porter's "Night and Day." Fred sang it to Ginger in the movie "The Gay Divorcee."
KAY GALLANT: Fred Astaire made forty other films. In addition to Ginger Rogers, he danced with many other talented women. Rita Hayworth. Eleanor Powell. Judy Garland. Cyd Charisse. Leslie Caron.
Fred also danced alone in some very unusual places. He danced up walls and on the ceiling in the film "Royal Wedding." He danced on rooftops in "The Belle of New York." He danced on roller skates in "Shall We Dance?" And he danced with firecrackers exploding at his feet in "Holiday Inn."
HARRY MONROE: Fred Astaire made all this look easy. But it was not.
Critics have said his technical skill was the greatest in the history of the movie musical. He said: Dancing is a sweat job. You cannot just sit down and do it. You have to get up on your feet. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable. I always try to get to know my dance so well that I do not have to think, 'what comes next?' Everything should fall into line. And then I know I have got control of the floor."
KAY GALLANT: Before each movie was filmed, Fred Astaire and his partner worked for as many as six weeks to plan each step and movement. He also planned how the cameras would photograph them, so that as much dancing as possible could be filmed at one time.
Earlier, movie directors had photographed dancers showing one part of their body at a time as they danced. Fred would not permit this. He wanted moviegoers to see his whole body at all times. And he would not permit any camera tricks to make his dancing appear smoother or faster than it was.
In nineteen forty-nine, Fred Astaire won a special award for his film work from America's Motion Picture Academy. He also won awards from the television industry for a number of his television programs.
HARRY MONROE: Fred stopped dancing in nineteen seventy. He was more than seventy years old at the time. He said a dancer could not continue dancing forever. He said he did not want to disappoint anyone, even himself. He danced again in public only once after that. It was with another great male dancer, Gene Kelly, in the movie "That's Entertainment, Part Two".
Fred Astaire in "On The Beach"
Fred did not always appear as a dancing man. He had a dramatic part in the movie "On The Beach" in nineteen fifty-nine. And he starred in a non-dancing television series called "It Takes a Thief".
KAY GALLANT: Fred Astaire and his first wife, Phyllis, raised three children. Phyllis died in nineteen fifty-four. Twenty-five years later, Fred married race horse rider Robyn Smith.
Fred Astaire died on June twenty-second, nineteen eighty-seven. He was eighty-eight years old. He was called the greatest dancer in the world. His dancing was called perfect. And moviegoers everywhere will remember him as a great performer whose work will live forever in his films.
SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: You have been listening to People In America -- a program in Special English on the Voice of America. This program was written by Nancy Steinbach. Kay Gallant and Harry Monroe were the narrators. I'm Shirley Griffith.

The story follows the Wilson’s as a trip to the beach finds the family confronted by copies of themselves who harbor a murderous intent. As the Wilson family struggles to survive, more and more is revealed as to who these doppelgängers are, as well as their origins.
All the major characters’ actors play double duty, playing both themselves and their evil clones.
Two prominent “Black Panther” actors play the parents in the Wilson family. Lupita Nyong’o delivers a masterful performance as the main character of the story, Adelaide Wilson, and her evil copy, Red. Winston Duke plays the father Gabe, who often serves in a more comedic role, and his doppelgänger, Abraham.
Shahadi Wright Joseph plays the phone-obsessed teenage daughter Zora and her clone, Umbrae. Evan Alex plays their quiet son who wears a Chewbacca mask and enjoys playing with a lighter, Jason, as well as the evil double, Pluto.
While the whole family serves as the main characters, it’s Adelaide’s story the movie focuses on, with her experience first encountering a doppelgänger as a child shown to us in a series of flashbacks. It is her unease that lets the audience know that something isn’t quite right.
Likewise, Adelaide’s counterpart serves as the main villain in her gang of off-kilter copies.
Peele uses sound masterfully in this film, manipulating the viewers emotions with the movies score in several ways, both heightening the tension at times and alleviating it at others.
“Us” will have you laughing one scene and scared the next. It mixes in dark comedy well without overshadowing the horror element of the story.
“Us” also does a great job of bringing things full circle. Things you see early in the film often come back around to affect the film in a different way near the end. It rewards you for paying attention to every little detail.
However, one difference between this movie and “Get Out” is that “Us” doesn’t do as effective of a job in making the horror seem as inherently natural. “Get Out” struck at a fear that felt like it had always been there without realizing it, whereas “Us” tries to establish that fear and then strike at it. It does a good job of this, but it is inherently less effective.
While this movie doesn’t live up to the sky-high bar “Get Out” set, Peele proves he’s a master of the horror genre by delivering a good film that manages to entertain and terrify, explain and confuse and make the audience happy and unsettled all at the same time.
The movie is absolutely worth seeing. It may not be a cultural touchstone like “Get Out” was, but it is a well told story that keeps you invested throughout its entire two-hour runtime.
Get Out was not iconic. Groundbreaking as far as having a black director, yes. If you saw Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner or Skeleton Key you would clearly see his influences. A decent film, but nowhere near Best Picture material…and definitely not original. Both of his films were basically extended Twilight Zone episodes imho; I am excited for his rendition of the show.

After having implemented measures for the conservation of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) through two previous LIFE-Nature projects, ARCTUROS focused with this project on the conservation of six priority mountainous habitat types as well as the brown bear (about 28% of the total Greek population). The project’s areas were located in two large geographical regions of Greece, the Gramos and Rodopi mountain massifs (1 pSCI in Gramos and 6 pSCIs in Rodopi). The targeted habitat types (semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates, species-rich Nardus grasslands, active blanket bogs, tilio Acerion ravine forests, residual alluvial forests, pallas’s pine forests) were facing a series of threats, the most important of which were extensive cattle grazing and illegal logging. In addition, forest road construction and forest fires have resulted in the degradation of most of the targeted habitat types. A Specific Environmental Study had been elaborated for each of the two areas within the context of the previous LIFE-Nature bear project; these studies had been submitted to the competent authority, the Ministry of Environment.
Contribute to the conservation and sustainable management of priority habitat types of key importance for the brown bear species at the national level.
Contribute to the maintenance of the brown bear’s population at viable levels within project areas.
Ensure the connectivity between targeted priority habitat types and species at a transborder scale, by placing contiguous critical sectors under specific conservation and management status.
Trigger the creation of a specific monitoring infrastructure at a local scale for the long-term management of targeted priority habitat types and species.
Upgrade information level of involved parties with emphasis on specific target groups.
In order to achieve these results, a series of actions were planned, some of which were a continuation of the previous project for the protection of the brown bear, while others had been identified in the Specific Environmental Studies. Among them are studies on the distribution and management of the habitat types targeted, plantation of wild-fruit-trees, closure of forest roads, provision of shepherd dogs, provision of labour animals for forest management, fencing of areas, wardening of the project areas, pilot management of Pallas’ pine forests, monitoring of the targeted species, and public awareness activities including an innovative educational campaign, an extensive media campaign, and the production of new communication material.
Overall, the project achieved its objective as well as the expected results and can be considered as a successful conservation case. Concerning the habitats targeted, the main actions undertaken as planned during the project were the establishment of management guidelines for all 6 habitat types, the fencing of 4 locations with active blanket bogs in Rodopi and the spatial designation of three habitat types through signboards (alluvial forests, ravine forests, black pines), the pilot implementation of the Black pine management plan and training seminars for foresters. A major success was the integration of the Black pine management guidelines elaborated by the project in the Kastoria Forest Services’ ten-year management plan. In addition, efforts were made to widely disseminate the results of the management plan study as well as the results of its pilot implementation; this was achieved through direct contacts with forest services, training workshops and the publication of a booklet with management guidelines. Actions regarding the bear also took place as foreseen (monitoring, provision of shepherd dogs and electrical fences). The monitoring confirmed that bear populations in both areas seemed to be stable. The population was estimated to be between 20-40 individuals in Gramos, and between 20-25 individuals in Rodopi in 2000 and 2001. Besides, human-related mortality was found to be below the critical 4% threshold. A robust wardening system was crucial for the limitation of this very important threat (and of many other threats, such as habitat deterioration, illegal activities, forest fire control etc). During the project, the forest services intensified their wardening efforts and part of this action was undertaken by project volunteers, who were properly trained, and who conducted a good monitoring of human presence and human activities. A significant number of violations were recorded. Concerning the prevention measures, a total of 60 shepherd dogs were given (38 in Gramos, and 22 in Rodopi). The majority of livestock owners (52%) seemed to be very satisfied with the protection thus offered and demands from farmers and livestock owners exceeded by far the available supply. A total of 40 fences were also purchased and distributed. The issue of transborder connectivity was tackled for the first time. A study on connectivity with border areas was elaborated by the project and proposals for the enlargement of the Bosdovetsi National park in Albania was made. Contacts, seminars, training sessions were organised with the Balkan NGOs and other structures involved in nature conservation. Through these actions, Arcturos managed to effectively transfer significant experience and know-how to NGOs in Albania, FYROM and Bulgaria. An extensive mass media campaign, targeting local, regional and national media was organised. A total of 18 press releases were sent to the mass media on topics such as the presentation of the project, the case of bear poaching, agricultural insurance system, bogs, seminar on harvesting practices, etc., and three press interviews were given. In addition, a total of 212 articles appeared in local and national newspapers, and 55 articles in magazines, while the project was presented on 68 TV and 66 radio shows. The project also produced an educational programme of great quality, targeting school students in the project areas, with the objective of making them realise the ecological, social, and cultural values of the areas where they live. This programme was also tested in neighbouring Balkan countries. Finally, the beneficiary dedicated a significant part of his efforts in the "surveillance" of activities in the project areas and in general in the bear distribution’s range, that could have a negative impact on the natural environment. He followed particularly closely the evolution of the Farmers’ National Insurance system in order to guarantee that wild animal damage (mainly wolf and bear) would remain in the new regulation that is under elaboration. Throughout the project, he also followed very closely the Ministry of Environment’s steps for the creation of protected areas according to the National legislation.
Description ARCTUROS is a non-profit civil company based in Greece, aiming at the Protection and Management of the Natural Environment and Wildlife. The society's activities started focusing on the Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) because this species gives the opportunity for a global management of the mountain forest eco-systems.
ARCTUROS' main aim is to promote the co-operation between organisations in Greece and the Balkans regarding conservation matters for the Natural Environment and its wildlife.

This is the 1926 squad, who under first-year manager Jack Lelivelt went on a tear during the early part of the season.
The notation on the bottom - "Worlds Record 21 Straight Games Won" (May 25th to June 16th of that year), isn't quite correct. 21 wins in a row was an American Association record, but not a professional baseball record. The New York Giants won 26 straight games in 1916. The Brewers' streak would tie with the Chicago Cubs of both 1880 and 1935. The longest American League streak is 20 games, set by the 2002 Oakland Athletics.
Buoyed by their streak, the Brewers finished the season 93-71. Their .567 mark was good for third place in the American Association behind Indianapolis (94-71) and first place Louisville (105-62).
Lelivelt then guided the Brews to a second place finish in 1927, and third in 1928, befor being fired during the 1929 season. He moved on to the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League, where he would have considerably more success, winning 137 games(!) in 1934. He left the Angels to scout for the Cubs in 1937 before returning to the PCL the following year to take the helm of the Seattle Rainiers, where he stayed until he died of a heart attack in January 1941.
Sitting next to Lelivelt in the suit is team owner Otto Borchert. This would be his last team photo - he died the night before the 1927 season opener while speaking before 700 fans at a dinner honoring his team at the Milwaukee Elks Club.
Also notable in the photograph (back row, far left) is the Brews' longtime trainer Doc Buckner, unjustly forgotten now but a legend in his time.

← TreeSteward Class of 2012 Celebrates Graduation!
You can mulch over soaker hoses, which helps hold the water in ground.
One watering method for trees is using soaker hoses. TreeSteward Steve Campbell shares his experiences below.
I’ve installed 100′ lengths of soaker hose under a layer of mulch, snaking it around plants in planting beds. I bring a regular hose over and hook it up to the soaker hose end. One advantage- the soaker hose will efficiently irrigate a larger area than a gator bag/ooze tube. For the soaker hose installed under mulch, (see photo above) it is important to keep the hose fitting covered (plastic bag and a tie) to keep dirt out between uses. To anchor the soaker hoses I bend 10 or 12 gauge galvanized wire into a “U” shape. Also note where you’ve installed it before digging in your garden, using a plant label or good memory. Electrical tape can be wound multiple times if a small leak develops in a hose (rare in my experience).
I use a portable, 25′ length hose in more limited situations and just lay it on the ground around the root zone, I water the trees in front of my house using a portable, 25′ length hose and just lay it on the ground around the root zone. (see photo below) I remove the hose after each watering, which is a little cumbersome but it’s worth it to have shade on the street.

Synthesis of bipodal and tripodalpiperidin-4-ones, bipodal, tripodal and tetrapodal 1,4-dihydropyridines have been carried out which is hitherto unreported in the literature. The piperidin-4-ones were reduced to respective piperidin-4-ols by using silica chloride under ultrasonic irradiation which maintained higher yields by acting as an effective supporting polymer. The 2,4-dichloro quinolines have been used as a building blocks for the construction of novel differentially substituted Hantzsch-quinolines, bisindolyl-quinolines and bisquinoline derivatives. All the synthesized compounds were characterized through spectral data and quinolines based derivatives have been preliminarily evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against standard pathological bacterial strains.

from Bryson Gordon, a student at Guilford Technical Community College and a graduate and former State Champion high school basketball player at Vandalia Christian School…..from BG for GreensboroSports.com…..
Overview- I have a feeling I am going to make a lot of Duke Fans days with my next sentence. This Duke team very well could be better than last year’s championship team. Coach K landed one of the most intriguing prospects in years in Brandon Ingram, who just so happens to be from Kinston, NC, a traditional UNC pipeline. Ingram is a 6-9, and on many accounts still growing freshman, that went viral a week ago with a video of him jumping high enough to touch the top of the backboard. Ingram is a baller that is drawing comparisons to Kevin Durant himself. If he can carry this team that is loaded with talent, including championship game hero, Grayson Allen, this Duke team can quickly make us forget about last year’s championship team. Coach K got his point guard he needed in Derryck Thornton, and he is fully capable of running the offense. The Rice transfer Sean Obi adds a rebounding element to this team that Krzyzewski has rarely seen from his small forwards. This team will be a fun team to watch when they match up with UNC twice this season!
Overview- This Heels team could be Roy’s best since the title team in 2009. Roy has waited since Marcus Paige was a sophomore for this team to develop into a title contender, and lo and behold here they are. This Heels team has every component to make a deep run in the tournament this year. For the first time in a few years they have reliable three point threats in Marcus Paige, Joel Berry, and Kenny Williams. This team also has incredible depth in the frontcourt headlined by Brice Johnson, Kennedy Meeks, and Isaiah Hicks. In all of this we are forgetting one of the Tar Heels best players for the upcoming season, rising sophomore Justin Jackson. Jackson electrified fans in his final games as a freshman by putting up the best games of his young Tar Heel career. If Jackson, along with local prep star Theo Pinson, who is returning from missing a majority of last season due to a broken pinky toe, can hold down the wings for Roy, this team will be a sure bet to see the first weekend in April on account of their perfect mix of upperclassman savvy, and its young potential. They have their annual two matchups with Duke will be great as always, but the game to watch is when they host top team Maryland in the ACC/Big 10 challenge.
Overview- The Mark Gottfried era is alive and well in Raleigh. He has put this team in the NCAA all 4 seasons in his tenure, and even knocked off one seeded Villanova on its way to its first sweet sixteen since the 2011-2012 season. While the wolfpack lost their top two three point shooting threats, they are ready and able to fill those positions in with freshman sharpshooter Maverick Rowan, and West Virginia transfer, and hometown boy Terry Henderson. On top of these guys replacing Lacey and Turner, expect the Martin twins to should more of the load on the offensive end to take some weight off of star point guard Anthony “Cat” Barber. Barber, who had a breakout season last year, especially stated his claim atop the ACC guards list during the NCAA tournament, where he shredded the LSU, and Villanova defense and averaged 15 points in the wolfpack’s two NCAA tournament wins. This NC State team will be a force to be reckoned with on the perimeter, but we cannot forget where the wolfpack was best at some points last season, the paint, where they can hang with any team in the country. The Pack return the two beasts in the paint Abdul-Malik Abu, and the big man himself BeeJay Anya. This wolfpack team should very easily be a sweet 16 team when it is all said and done this season, but getting the wrinkles ironed out on the perimeter and the backcourt will be where the Pack will be stuck early in the season. If Rowan, and Henderson turn into the shooters I expect, then this Pack team will be in the Sweet 16, and also do not be shocked if they are in the Elite 8.
Overview- Danny Manning is changing the culture at Wake Forest. The record may have not proved that last season, but they hung around in some games that they should have not been in, as a matter of fact, they should have won a few of the games, but could not quite hang on. Codi Miller-McIntyre is going to be a senior this season (Feels like he has been there forever), along with Devin Thomas. Last year Thomas proved to be one of the best big men the ACC has to offer, by dominating some of the best big men in the league last year. I am not saying that this Wake team is going to be a team that makes the NCAA tournament, but led by Miller-McIntyre, and Thomas this team can surely threaten in the ACC tournament. Look for younger brother of Florida star Scotty Wilbeken, Mitchell, who showed glimpses of being a star last year to tear it up from behind the three point line, along with Cornelius Hudson. Wake’s x factor will be Kostantinos Mitoglou, who has the potential to be an outside-in big man for this team. This young Wake team is a year or two from being a team that can be in the NCAA tournament consistently, but Danny Manning is putting this program on the map, in the right direction.

Our Friend, the Semicolon Let’s begin with a simple sentence: Grandma stays up too late.
Our Friend, the Semicolon Now let’s expand on that a bit: Grandma stays up too late. She’s afraid she’s going to miss something. This is OK. Two independent ideas, separated by a period.
Our Friend, the Semicolon What if we try to combine the two ideas? Grandma stays up too late, she’s afraid she’s going to miss something. Something’s wrong. We connected two independent clauses with only a comma. The dreaded COMMA SPLICE!
Our Friend, the Semicolon We could insert a coordinating conjunction: Grandma is afraid she’ll miss something, so she stays up too late. This is better! Note the comma that accompanies the coordinating conjunction.
Our Friend, the Semicolon We could also try subordinating one of these ideas: Grandma stays up too late because she’s afraid she’s going to miss something. Notice that the comma disappeared. One idea (the second one) now depends on the other; it has become a dependent clause.
Our Friend, the Semicolon But let’s try something else.
Our Friend, the Semicolon Let’s try using a semicolon in this sentence. ; Grandma stays up too late she’s afraid she’s going to miss something. Notice there is no conjunction used with this semicolon – either subordinating or coordinating. Just the semicolon, all by itself.
Our Friend, the Semicolon Sometimes semicolons are accompanied by conjunctive adverbs – words such as however, moreover, therefore, nevertheless, consequently, as a result. Grandma is afraid she’s going to miss something; as a result, she stays up too late.
Our Friend, the Semicolon Notice the pattern: ; as a result, semicolon + conjunctive adverb + comma This is a typical construction with semicolons.
Our Friend, the Semicolon There is one other use of the semicolon: to help us sort out monster lists, like this one: lists The committee included Peter Wursthorn, Professor of Mathematics, from Marlborough, Connecticut, Virginia Villa, Professor of English, from Hartford, Connecticut, Paul Creech, Director of Rad-Tech, from Essex, Connecticut, and Joan Leach, Professor of Nursing, from Farmington, Connecticut.
Our Friend, the Semicolon Be careful where you insert semicolons in this sentence. The committee included Peter Wursthorn, Professor of Mathematics, from Marlborough, Connecticut; Virginia Villa, Professor of English, from Hartford, Connecticut ; Paul Creech, Director of Rad-Tech, from Essex, Connecticut ; and Joan Leach, Professor of Nursing, from Farmington, Connecticut.

Mercer Union is pleased to present The Museum of Safety Gear For Wild Animals, by Canadian artist Bill Burns. Burns’ previous installation Analgesia (1993), exhibited at Galerie Rochefort in Montreal, employed architectural dioramas on the theme of the pharmaceutical industry. The Museum of Safety Gear For Wild Animals consists of dioramas with taxidermied animals wearing safety gear, drawings, and various didactic displays about the needs of animals. The installation poses the question: what kind of gear do animals need to protect themselves from the hazards of life in a late capitalist economy? The installation fulfils the goals of natural history museums: to entertain and to form the general public’s view of how others live, and become the cultural property of the viewers. The Museum of Safety Gear For Wild Animalsalerts us to the dangers of imposing human characteristics on animals as well as the dangers of global environmental degradation.
Bill Burns recently moved from Montreal to New York. His work has been exhibited throughout Canada, in New York and several European cities. His past solo exhibitions have been presented at 303 Gallery in New York, Articule Gallery in Montreal and Project K18 in Kassel, West Germany. The Museum of Safety Gear For Wild Animalswill be his first Toronto exhibition.
What’s in a resemblance? What is at work–or at play–in the resemblances between humans and animals? Bill Burns has been known to place things associated with humans where they don’t normally belong. And here you see a number of lurid and spectacular examples: a respirator on the mouth of an otter, safety goggles on a pheasant, knee pads on a giraffe. In each case the indelible visual force, the shock of these images hinges on the presence and absence of certain resemblances. Or uncertain resemblances.
For millennia now, human beings have been intrigued and unnerved by the similarities, real or imagined, between them and animals. In the Middle Ages, the ape was sometimes termed the worst of animals (turpissima bestia), not, it seems, because it was objectively so horrible but because the marked similarity between humans and apes proved too close for comfort. A Victorian populariser of science remarked that turning our attention to the forms and actions of mammalia could “excite unpleasant comparisons.” Only one difference, now, is that Bill Burns puts a measure of pleasure back into recognising similarities that might otherwise get under our skin.
Resemblance is not identity. And in the realm of resemblance one can emphasise the distance or lack of it between whatever is being compared; one can foreground the points of similarity or all the differences obliterated to register those resemblances. When Dian Fossey becomes a companion for gorillas and Jane Goodall extended family for some chimpanzees, does it prove the possibility or the immense difficulty of the crossover between humans and animals? The exception or the rule?
Nietzsche could grant animals any number of things deprived them by other thinkers but denied them the capacity to make and break promises. Which is to say: animals are not ethical beings. For Nietzsche, animals are beyond good and evil in a very elementary way.
To judge from these works, the cute faces of baby seals are not the driving force behind Bill Burns’ art. Should baby seals have rights that toads do not? The once holy trinity of the beautiful, the true, and the good has lost its already shabby aura. If these works are beautiful to look at, they altogether resist fetishizing beauty. This is art not given over to aestheticism.
In giving these taxidermed animals a posthumous after-life, Burns points to the perilous existence all animals have in environments dominated by human beings, the endangering species. The reason to devise safety gear is that no one is safe. No animal, no human, no human animal. If there is a politics of animal rights (and human responsibility) here, it is oblique and the furthest thing from dogmatic. A gently corrosive irony pervades Burns’ provocations. “Irony” derives from the word “to make small.” But aren’t Bill Burns’ animals already small enough? What exactly is getting smaller because of this irony?
The irony is not just a matter of the wit or humour everywhere in evidence, not just a new way of thinking about pheasant under glass. These works with small animals always reveal a bigger picture, even if it lies outside the frame. That big picture–literalised most graphically as the image of the globe–looms beyond the characters in Burns’ bestiary, exceeding anyone’s vision. In blurring the lines between animal and human, Bill Burns’ sharp focus puts everything in perspective.

“This is my favorite class!” “Is it time to leave already?” I stopped and smiled inside and out.
In teaching digital natives, it is imperative that a community of learners is established early in the semester to create effective and engaging learning experiences. Students want a safe environment in which they can feel comfortable and find joy in learning. Developing a community of learners creates a foundation for motivation, which Nilson describes as “a means stimulating the desire to learn something” (p. 51, 2010).
Do you want your students to be excited about learning your subject matter and attentive during class? If the answer is yes, I would like to recommend three best practices to foster a more active, engaged community of learners.
Allowing students to have a voice in their learning path helps boost a student’s self-efficacy. According to Barkley (2010), self-determination works together with self-efficacy. Your students will believe they can complete a task if they have a role in their success. For example, if you have students present an article or book report, offer different ways for the student to deliver the material. You may have students write their own learning contract that states the elements of their presentation and the date they will be ready to present.
Students who have been unsuccessful in the past may come to your class with a negative attitude. Does this attitude affect their performance? Of course it does. Barkley posits that faculty can help build their students’ confidence by providing clear directions, checkpoints, and deadlines. Introduce a “Things to Do” list to your students, or have them to create their own checklist of assignments. Begin or end your discussion with a motivational video or quote. If possible, provide students an opportunity to use a journal to reflect upon the video or quote.
In creating a community of learners, faculty promote a place where there is respect for other cultures. Barkley states that for a learning community to be authentic, all members must participate in an exchange of information. A good way to do this is to use the “Socrates Jar.” Students names are written on slips of paper and placed in the jar. During a lecture, the professor/instructor randomly pulls a name from the jar and asks that student a question. As you can imagine, the students become quite alert and attentive to the lecture.
Promoting student autonomy, building confidence of discouraged or disengaged students, and involving all students in class discussions are only a few of the many best practices to build a community of learners. These strategies have been shown to help students develop trust in the professor and a zone of comfort in the classroom. When students are connected and engaged in the learning process their grades are higher and their retention increases. What are some ways you build a community of learners?

Correction appended, Jan. 16, 2015, 10:18 a.m. E.T.
Boxing fans hoping to see the fight of the century between eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao and unbeaten Floyd Mayweather will have to keep waiting.
Earlier this week, Pacman’s publicist Fred Sternburg labeled the negotiations between the fighters as a “process” but said things were headed in a good direction.
The potential matchup between arguably two of the greatest welterweights to have ever laced up gloves has been stalled for the better part of eight years because of management feuds, contract disputes and disagreements over drug testing schemes.
Correction: The story has been updated to include the full statement from Pacquiao’s representative. The original version of this story also misidentified Fred Sternburg. He is Manny Pacquiao’s publicist.

The TOGGLE-AIRE® Two Hand Optical Touch Actuators are the newest members of the Synchro-Sig series of actuators and controls. They are direct replacements for earlier models and are designed for use on all TOGGLE-AIRE® presses regardless of age. The SS-OT 18 and SS-OT 24 are ergonomically engineered, "state-of-the-art" controls that reduce operator fatigue because no physical pressure is required for operation. This helps eliminate the hand, wrist, and arm stress associated with mechanical push buttons.
Optical touch "buttons" are located at both ends of the SS -OT and two indicator LEDs are incorporated in each button. One LED lights when the unit is powered and ready for operation. The second lights when the button is actuated. This optical unit has an ambient light immunity of 120,000 lux (direct sunlight) and is highly resistant to both single and mixed EMI and RFI interference sources. It runs on low voltage and the wall mount power supply provided is for the actuator only. No changes are needed to existing valving.
The main enclosure is made of heavy gauge steel and is factory sealed to maintain the integrity of the internal controls. The optical buttons have black polysulfone outer housings and the electronics inside the buttons are fully epoxy encapsulated.
Depth 2 3/8" 2 3/8"
Height 3 1/2" 3 1/2"
IMPORTANT! All TOGGLE-AIRE® Synchro-Sig Series Actuators, including the Model SS-OT Optical Touch Two Hand Actuator, are designed and sold for use on TOGGLE-AIRE® presses as well as many other types of pneumatic equipment. They are intended as general use cycle initiators, and ARE NOT, in and of themselves safety devices. Because it is impossible to anticipate the conditions under which our equipment will be operated, additional devices and methods may be required to insure operator safety. Besides conforming to all national, state, OSHA, and ANSI standards and codes, the buyer should consider the safety of the entire operation involving any press or machine, and see that any additional guarding, training, and maintenance deemed necessary is developed and enforced to protect the well being of the machine operator.

Playing for Rea l is a problem-based textbook on game theory that has been widely used at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Coursepack Edition will be particularly useful for teachers new to the subject. It contains only the material necessary for a course of ten, two-hour lectures plus problem classes and comes with a disk of teaching aids including pdf files of the author's own lecture presentations together with two series of weekly exercise sets with answers and two sample final exams with answers. There are at least three questions a game theory book might answer: What is game theory about? How is game theory applied? Why is game theory right? Playing for Real is perhaps the only book that attempts to answer all three questions without getting heavily mathematical. Its many problems and examples are an integral part of its approach. Just as athletes take pleasure in training their bodies, there is much satisfaction to be found in training one's mind to think in a way that is simultaneously rational and creative. With all of its puzzles and paradoxes, game theory provides a magnificent mental gymnasium for this purpose. It is the author's hope that exercising on the equipment provided by this coursepack edition of Playing for Real will bring the reader the same kind of pleasure that it has brought to so many other students.

After paying a mechanic to replace an old part on your vehicle with a new one, ask him to give you back the one that he removed. If the mechanic is unwilling to do this, it may mean they aren’t going to do the work but charge you anyway. This is troublesome and you should tell him so.
And he had a chance to say something every promoter loves to tell people. Yes, we have more cars this year than we ever have before, Williams said. Since this is the second year we have the festival grounds (at the Charles R. Wood Park), we have been able to push it up to 1,700 entries. Thats the most ever, by far. Williams has kind words for local officials, including village Mayor Robert Blais, town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson and Warren County Sheriff Bud York, for their annual cooperation, and this year hes rather pleased with the weather forecasters. I think were going to have a really good weekend. Look at it out here, Williams said, adding that he did not think the price increase from $10 to $15 for weekend spectator passes will keep the crowd down. Its still a great deal, its for the weekend, and the weather is going to be great. Children 12 and younger are admitted free.

In addition to completing the full integration of the analytics capabilities HPE acquired last year with Nimble, HPE also expanded their tools and integrations to automate 3PAR in the cloud, DevOps, virtualization and container environments.
The Cloudian partnership with Storage Made Easy adds an enterprise file sync-and-share capability to the core Cloudian offering. Cloudian and its channel partners will resell the joint solution.
At their C3 partner event this week, NetApp exhorted partners to ramp up their efforts to sell NetApp’s new HCI offering based on Solidfire technology, while not letting up on their FlexPod CI activities.
Liquidware also thinks that the capability to save directly to the AWS, Microsoft and Google object storage clouds, which is a first in this space, will also appeal to customers with a hybrid desktop computing strategy, who are not yet ready for a full move to DaaS.
Extending their native cloud support to the Google and Microsoft clouds as well as AWS will allow Cloudian partners to add a multi-cloud dimension to their hybrid cloud options for customers.
SwiftStack continues to broaden out from its object storage roots, with the addition of native file capability, which combined with their Cloud Sync feature, lets customers read and write to a single namespace, without a gateway, and to any cloud or on-prem location.
The enhancement of an existing relationship between the two companies sees the jointly engineered appliance get a new unified management interface.

A side-by-side vehicle (SSV) is different from a quad bike, they are typically sit-in, have a steering wheel, seat belts, rollover protection and have a higher load capacity.
Depending on the job, SSVs can be a good alternative to quad bikes.
Sixty per cent of the quad bike fatalities examined by the NSW Coroner in 2015 involved a rollover. SSVs are considered to be an effective way of protecting against quad bike related injury and fatalities on-farm.
The safest vehicle is the one best suited to the job. Before you purchase a vehicle for your farm, talk to your local dealer about your own farming situation and read the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure the vehicle is suitable for the task and circumstance.
You can also check out the testing done by the transport and safety researchers from the University of New South Wales here.

I relish the opportunity for an in-person meeting or training for staff and volunteers. A break from the technology for a few hours where people talk face-to-face is refreshing. But lately, it feels more difficult to schedule in-person trainings. Barriers for our Cooperative Extension volunteers where I work in rural Maine often include barriers related to weather, distance, time, cost, childcare, and scheduling availability.
As a UMaine Cooperative Extension faculty member with responsibilities for statewide volunteer development, I work in partnership with federal, state, and local governments to bring research-based information from universities to local people in the community.
While I still see value in face-to-face trainings for our volunteers, there is a growing trend to offer online training through video conferencing.
Video conferencing is a useful communication method within our organization and other nonprofits, especially for one-on-one meetings and committee work. Webinars are what come to mind if someone says “web-based training” and have become more popular while aiming to offer synchronous experiences. But in my experience, they are often one-sided and don’t allow for quality interaction beyond the chat box feature. Using a synchronous video conferencing platform can allow for high-quality interactive training.
Intentional design and development are key to create a high-quality virtual training (Robideau & Vogel 2014). Below are some tips for how to be intentional when designing your next virtual training.
When offering an in-person training, the trainer can adjust the physical distance in the room to observe and hear what is going on while tuning out or reducing distractions. Take a few minutes at the start of the session to remind participants to mute their microphones/devices if they aren’t speaking. Background noise, quiet or soft voice levels and distance from recording devices contribute to the challenges of clearly hearing one another during a video conference.
This feature allows users the ability to share one’s screen. It’s easy to share a draft document or slides from your desktop, capture ideas during a brainstorming session, or view a video clip for discussion and feedback. Use the screen share feature judiciously. Otherwise, it can feel more like a webinar with a Charlie Brown teacher voice droning on in the background.
Video conferencing facilitators should be comfortable with new and unexpected discoveries technologies bring. The role is split between offering professional development and helping participants navigate technology glitches so that they can participate. Internet speeds are usually adequate for online discussion, but upload and live-streaming could be slow.
A webinar featuring a speaker with a slide deck often tempts participants to multi-task due to the lack of interaction between presenter and learner. In synchronous web-based learning environments, learning can be enhanced with intentional design that engages learners in real-time conversations designed to explore concepts. Use virtual breakout rooms, learning activities, and unscripted, spontaneous conversations to keep learners focused. Ensuring active learning happens by planning for it in your content and reserving adequate time for the activities. For instance, think about where it might make sense to add a poll question so the presentation portion doesn’t lose people’s attention.
Encourage participants to engage in conversation. Offer opportunities for people to share ideas, check for understanding, and ask questions. Utilizing a feature such as virtual breakout rooms where participants can actually see each other helps to make virtual sessions feel more engaging. With this feature, the facilitator can assign people to virtual rooms for a small group discussion. By posting questions ahead of time in the chat box, people have more time to think about how they will respond.
It is important to provide some quiet time for individual thought processing. One way to do this is to ask participants at the beginning of the session to have paper and a pen ready. Providing a writing prompt or question not only offers a different level of participation but allows for the individual ownership of their learning. How will they take what they learned and apply it? What next steps will they take? How are they thinking differently as a result of new knowledge or ideas gained? A timer to count down the final 60 seconds notifying people to wrap up their writing or journaling can be an unobtrusive way to signal you will change activities.
One of the first things I do when I offer an in-person training is put the agenda on a flip chart somewhere in the room, as people like to know the plan. Keep that in mind for virtual trainings as well. Post the agenda in the chat box, share it on your screen or email it prior to the session. This is especially helpful in letting participants see that content delivery will be varied, keeping them alert and off their email.
So, can you create an engaging virtual training? Yes. Does it take time and preparation? Yes. You can offer valuable online training by mixing together presentation and activities to pare information into smaller, easy-to-absorb bites for the adult learner.

"Twin Flames" is a chakra art angel heart print in my energy art line of reiki wall decor.
This reiki infused violet flame angel print would be a beautiful addition to a meditation, yoga, healing room, or any room in the house or office of the person looking for a colorful and original piece of psychedelic rainbow wall decor infused with positive energy and intentions.
The angels represent "Twin Flames" who enhance their connection to each other by utilizing the violet flame. The heart symbolizes the pure love between two souls whether it's a mate, a lover, a friend, or a total stranger. Personal relationships can be challenging. It's easy to hurt and to get hurt, to harbor old resentments, to judge and to be judged. This image is intended to help us release some of that unpleasant energy. Visualize it, throw it in the violet flame, see it being consumed and transformed into pure light, see unconditional love bloom.

Great news! Your daughter's rockin' girl band has been asked to headline their first major gig...the school's Halloween night dance! That sounds like our kind of concert. But the group is quickly realizing that they can't just perform on All Hallows Eve in their usual wardrobe of denim, tees, and leggings. No, they need a look that will make an impression and put their name on the map—or at least have them trending on the school's social media circuit!
Might we suggest a set of these Girl's Devilish Diva Costumes? They are perfect for Halloween—who doesn't love a classic devil costume? Plus, the red hue is totally riveting on stage; it'll be impossible not to pay attention to their killer stage presence. This outfit is easy to move around in, feminine, edgy, and all around eye-catching! A girl group of these little she-devils would inspire us to sign them instantly for their first world tour!
Can't you just see her picking her bass in this flashy look? This exclusive costume comes with the red dress, matching coat, and horn headband for a complete look. The tailored jacket is short in the front, with two types of "tails" in the back—tradional suit tails and the cute attached devil tail! She'll need to accessorize with appropriate makeup (we suggest black or red lipstick), accessories (fishnets work well!), and footwear (the tougher-looking, the better!), but otherwise, she's ready to rock!
We have a really good feeling about your girl's first gig in this outfit. Not only will the group make its mark with its original sound, but the girls will be revered as the fiery group who rocked out Halloween the right way! Who knows? This may just become their regular performance look, that's how much they'll love wearing it on stage!

Today gives currency investors the chance to directly compare the UK and US economies – UK GDP figures have come in above expectations this morning and US GDP figures are due to be released later. The anticipated decline in US GDP will shape the risk-averse choices of investors playing out to affect other currencies such as the Euro and Yen today and over next week. Sterling was trading at the mid-market rate of 1.5504 against the US Dollar and 1.2195 against the Euro at 9.30am this morning.
UK second quarter GDP figures this morning have come in above expectations. Quarter on quarter GDP has risen to 1.2 percent from 1.1 percent beating expectations of 1.1.percent. Year on year GDP shows a similar trend coming in at 1.7 percent which is up from – 0.2 percent last year and beating expectations at 1.6 percent. This follows other positive news yesterday as the CBI posted surprise sales for August showing the largest increase in retail sales over three years and the fastest increase in shop prices since 1992. How much this news will support the Pound will be seen after US GDP figures come in later today and how markets play out next week. It’s not all rosy as there is still much concern about the UK economy with news reports today focusing on the amount of Government employees set to lose their jobs in line with budget cuts expected to cause much further damage to the housing sector.
The Dollar dropped against the Pound and the Euro yesterday. There was better than expected news on US joblessness yesterday with the amount of jobless claims dropping to 473, 000 beating expectations of a smaller decline. This actually caused the Dollar to drop as investors bought into slightly riskier currencies on this sign that the economy was more robust than thought. Later today sees the release of GDP figures in the US. The second quarter GDP figures are expected to be revised down from 2.4 percent to 1.4 percent however some estimates have been as low as 1 percent. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is also preparing to put forward his view on the US economy at Jackson Hole today. Investors will be interested to see whether he discusses stimulus and easing measures given the ongoing poor US data of recent times and will inform their positions on the currency markets.
The Euro begun loosing yesterday’s gains on the US Dollar and is showing volatility against the Pound. Euro stocks and shares have been hit as investors wait to see later today the extent to which the US economy has slowed thereby determining their appetite for risky investments. These have continued to stay low following this morning’s positive UK GDP figures.

Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve is California's most consistent poppy-bearing land. Poppies are California's state flower and really an awesome spectacle. Poppy season in California runs from mid February to about mid May but varies from year to year. My first attempt to visit was early March. I was very disappointed to find no Poppies.My sweetie and I went to Ikea in L.A. for a bookshelf and on the way back took the scenic route home and stopped by the reserve, so although we didn't see any poppies it wasn't a wasted trip. My second attempt was in early April and before I left I checked they "current conditions" on the poppy reserve website. It isn't always up to the minute, but it looked promising so I headed that way. The reserve is fifteen miles west of Lancaster CA, (seems like in the middle of nowhere) and as you get closer to the reserve you start to see specs of orange in the fields. The closer you get, the more orange the fields become, until it is completely orange. The fields and foothills really do look like they are on fire. Technically you could just pull over to the side of the road and enjoy the poppies just by getting out of your car. I seen lots of people doing this. Where people were stopping wasn't technically park property but I tend to support the parks and preservation of the land, so I went to the park itself and paid the $8 entrance fee.
There are a lot of people at the reserve in early April. It took about 30min to make it through the park entrance. The reservation does have a visitors center with some history and origin stuff but it's mostly postcards and magnets. The park also as a trail system that takes you through the poppy fields and up around the foothills. The further you walk the less people you will see. It really is a neat place to visit and I was in shock at the volume of poppies and people visiting the reserve, yet it was easy to get away from the crowds. It was a bit windy that day, and for the most part it's a bit windy everyday in CA, but I did manage to get some cool shots.
I do recommend visiting, just make sure you check out the website beforehand to make sure you will actually see poppies when you go. I do ask to please support local, state, and national parks, it helps keep the land the way it is. California especially has had troubles and has cut funding to the state park system. We need to keep these parks open and support the natural beauty that we are lucky to have, and to keep it for future generations.

As I write this column a few days before the event, I can only hope that the Independence Day weekend celebration of live music and fireworks turned out to be enjoyable for all. We take pride in offering local talent as a lead-up to the pyrotechnics, and “Said She” and Anne E. DeChant always put on an entertaining show. We hope that it was a perfect kick-off to your holiday weekend.
Several folks have asked why we don’t have our fireworks show on July 4th. The answer is simple. The fireworks companies give priority to their longtime customers when it comes to a scheduling date. We are not a longtime customer to any of the competent vendors. Obviously, the public finds the actual date of July 4th to be the prime time for fireworks, which is the same sentiment that always generates the question, “Why not on the fourth?” Another factor is that the vendor offers a better price if we select a day prior to or after the actual holiday. We also try to control labor costs, which are higher on a weekend or a holiday. Our objective is presenting quality music that brings enjoyment to a diverse crowd, and a fireworks show that includes more than a few “wows”. I am sometimes accused of sounding like a frugal parent hoping to generate the most enjoyment out of a fixed budget. Guilty as charged. We welcome your comments.
Once again, the Waterfront Wine Festival was a huge success. Just ask one of the over 2,000 people who attended the event last Saturday. The weather was perfect (it has been for three years in a row!) and the view of the Lake was as good as ever. We need to thank Jennifer Dalman, Charlie Sexstella and Dan Bucci for organizing such an enjoyable event, with proceeds going to the Smiles for Sophie Forever charity. If you have never had the opportunity to attend, plan on doing so next June. We also hope that you were able to attend the 9th annual Smiles for Sophie Bash and Dash on July 4th at Walker Road Park.
If you enjoy Jimmy Buffet and tropical music, the concert at Miller Road Park on July 17th is in your wheelhouse. Island Jeff & Bongo Bob will perform. I’m told that they are very entertaining. The Geeze Cats will perform on July 31st. If you enjoy ‘50s and ‘60s music, this concert is for you. The Patriots Symphonic Band directed by Harry Pfingsten is scheduled for August 4th and fans of patriotic music always enjoy this concert. We will end the concert series on August 21st with a Beatles tribute band called Revolution Pie. They have a very large regional following, so get there early. All concerts begin at 6:00 PM.
Lastly, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the various road and water plant projects which are causing some delays in your everyday lives. We make every attempt to coordinate these road closures, but the unexpected always seems to throw us a curve ball. We hope that once the improvements are completed they are judged to be worthwhile.

The concept of knowledge – jñāna – is crucial in the Jain faith. To escape the neverending cycle of birth, Jains must follow the 'three jewels' of 'right faith', 'right knowledge' and 'right conduct' so they can gain absolute knowledge or omniscience, the vital stage before liberation. The religious importance of knowledge is acknowledged in the dedicated festivals celebrated by the two main Jain sects. The Śvetāmbara celebration is Jñāna-pañcamī while the Digambara equivalent is called Śruta-pañcamī. The general concept at the centre of the festival is similar in both traditions, but there are differences in the date and the course of events.
Jainism distinguishes five types of knowledge, of which the second is relevant here. It is known as śruta-jñāna, literally 'knowledge of what has been heard'. It is therefore knowledge that is closely connected with language and words. In practice, the term refers to knowledge of the teaching that the 24 Jinas preached to their disciples, who transmitted it to others, who passed it on to still other people.
All Jains agree that the Jinas' message was first spread orally and they also agree that, at a much later time, this teaching was written down and resulted in various texts. But the two main sects of Digambaras and Śvetāmbaras differ on the way the written transmission was achieved and on what these individual texts are. Thus even though the names of their separate festivals of knowledge mean the same thing and refer to the same variety of knowledge, it is natural that the two sects have distinct celebrations.
Both Jñāna-pañcamī and Śruta-pañcamī feature the physical artefacts of holy writings being treated as objects of worship. The Jain festivals of Paryuṣaṇ and Daśa-lakṣaṇa-parvan venerate copies of particular holy texts – in the case of the former it is the Śvetāmbara Kalpa-sūtra while at Dasa-laksana-parvan Digambaras focus on the Tattvārtha-sūtra. However, during Jñāna-pañcamī and Śruta-pañcamī, it is the concept of holy knowledge that is at the heart of the celebration. Books and manuscripts of the scriptures are venerated not as objects of worship in themselves but as material representations of the teachings of the Jinas.
The Śvetāmbara festival of knowledge is called Jñāna-pañcamī, which literally means 'Knowledge fifth'. Jñāna-pañcamī takes place on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Kārttika, roughly corresponding to October to November in the Western calendar. It falls between the major feast of Dīvālī and the beginning of the new religious year. This particular date is thought of auspicious and has several names, indicating the multitude of meanings of this date for different groups in Indian society.
A tradition has emerged that the Dvādaśāngas – that is the '12 Aṅgas' that form the first group of Śvetāmbara canonical scriptures – was completed on this date. But there is no historical proof of that.
The Hindus consider the same date auspicious for a different reason. They call it Saubhāgya-pañcamī – 'Good Fortune Fifth'. In a tenth-century Prakrit collection of stories about Jñāna-pañcamī, the concept of saubhāgya is prominent. The main characters of the stories are married women who observe this festival in the hope of protecting their husbands against illness and poverty (Chojnacki 1997).
Another common Śvetāmbara Jain name for this festival is Lābha-pañcamī – 'Profit Fifth'. On this day merchants reopen the shops and offices that had been closed or were supposed to have been closed since before Dīvālī (Cort 2001: 173). It is thus the date when normal business begins again after the principal holiday of Dīvālī, which marks the turning of the year.
The festival is also known as Guru-pañcamī or 'Teacher Fifth', which recognises the significance of monks and nuns in the Jain faith. A key mendicant role is knowing the scriptures and passing on the teachings of the Jinas, and this title emphasises their importance in the transmission of Jainism.
These different names show how this festival is at the junction of different Jain values – the worldly aspirations of health and financial comfort, and the spiritual desire to advance along the path to enlightenment.
Numbers and mathematics have important roles in Indian culture, often demonstrated in festivals. In this festival the significant number is '5', which can be seen from different versions of the stories connected with Jñāna-pañcamī and from the prescriptions in ritual handbooks (Chojnacki 2000). To get rid of disease, the main female character of one story is advised to 'observe Jñān Pañcamī, a fast lasting for five years and five months to be performed on every jñān tithi, the fifth of the bright half of every month, or at the very least annually on Jñān Pañcamī' (Cort 2001: 174). The same advice is given to other characters in the story collections relating to this festival.
As with many Jain holy days, fasting is the devotees' main practice. But the ideal mentioned in the prescriptive textbooks or stories is hard to meet. Mostly, people observe a fast in which they eat only tasteless food – āyambil – or any kind of fast – upvāsa – common in Jainism.
As part of the routine activity of Jñāna-pañcamī, lay Jains also listen to mendicants' preaching on the benefits of observing this vow and celebrating the festival. On this day in particular, monks and nuns do their best to convince the laity that they should read and learn the scriptures. Since mendicants are the link between the scriptures and the lay people, they are also worshipped on this day. For this reason Jñāna-pañcamī is also called Guru-pañcamī or 'Teacher Fifth'.
The most concrete and specific aspect of the festival of Jñāna-pañcamī is the worship of books or manuscripts. This takes various forms. Frequently, old manuscripts are displayed on tables at temples and sprinkled with sandalwood powder – vāsakṣepa. This is similar to how images of the Jinas are worshipped. Lay people often commission fresh copies of the sacred texts while new books are commonly published on this day. Generally, manuscript colophons or introductions in published books often add to the usual dating formula the note that it was completed on a Jñāna-pañcamī day. This custom emphasises the connection between the new manuscript or book and this date. Just as idols are, especially esteemed books or manuscripts may be the centre of long musical processions involving the local monks, nuns and lay people.
More generally, any form of activity encouraging reading and writing is recommended on this day. For instance, children buy pencils and notebooks and copy simple religious hymns or mantras.
Some people extend the celebration to the 'five types of knowledge' of Jainism instead of celebrating only scriptural knowledge. For this purpose they often make a circuit of nearby temples, celebrating each type of knowledge in a different place.
On this day some Jains worship Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning, who is also known as Śruta-devatā.

Friends of friends drop my name to their friends, from time to time, when no regular motorcycle shops will touch their vintage Honda motorcycles. Recently, the driveway was loaded up with a W650, a 1971 CB500Four (see earlier story), a CL360 Scrambler (only 2 years of production) and a 1974 XL350 Dual Sport model.
The CL360 was suffering from a mid-range to high speed misfire, leaking fork seals and a knocking sound inside the engine (!). The XL350 was suffering from hard starting, blowing fuses and needing a general tune-up. The owner, who is a good-sized man in his 40s, started the XL350 for me but stated that sometimes it would light up on the 3rd kick and sometimes it took 15 attempts to get it to fire and run.
The bikes arrived in two waves, with the CL360 coming in first. While the owner remained to watch the initial testing and evaluation of the noises and misfiring, a compression test was run, ignition timing was checked (somewhat challenging because the stator had been replaced and the index mark was not present). The engine noise was cyclical and the source seemed to be the known recalled cam chain tensioner parts, judging from the sound. There was a factory recall on the tensioner blades from AHMC, shortly after the whole 360cc range of models was produced. Hopefully, most of the bikes being sold and used during that time would have been subjected to the replacement parts, however one can never rule out the possibility that more than a few machines were missed during the past forty years.
1975 Honda Cb360 Engine and Engine Cooling, engine Recall | Apr 24, 1975 is the title of the recall notice.
After setting valve clearances to specifications of .002” and .003” (intake and exhaust), the camchain tension was checked by rocking the crankshaft rotor back and forth by the central bolt. Watching the end of the camshaft (points cover removed) gives an indication of whether there is excess slack in the chain due to a broken tensioner. In this case, the cam was following the crankshaft directly with no appreciable slack, which was not the expectation one would associate with a broken tensioner. Loosening the adjuster bolt and tapping on the end of the tensioner adjustment rod had no effect on the camchain tension and ultimately the engine’s clicking sounds which persisted. Having the owner present actually was helpful for both of us to verify that all the possibilities were checked and that the source of the noise remained a mystery.
Leaving the knocking noises for awhile, the next step was to remove the carburetors and clean all passages and jets, plus looking for worn, damaged slide diaphragms and cracked intake manifolds. In general things looked pretty good, but the diaphragms were old and somewhat stiff in their response movement. Still, there were no holes or tears, so the carb rack was reinstalled. Subsequent test rides proved that the mis-fire was still present, which left electrical sources to explore. Both of the ignition coils were measuring out about 4.5 ohms, which is normal, but the spark plug caps, which actually looked like non-resistor types measured out about 8-10k ohms, instead of 5k ohms. Replacement of the spark plug caps cured much of the misfiring but it felt like there was perhaps some mid-range leanness where the primary and secondary main jet circuits overlapped. The carb jets were all stock and standard sized, but a bump up on the primary main jets might cure the rest of it. It has been often demonstrated in recent years, that that today’s alcohol-infused gasoline cause engines to run leaner than before due to changes in fluid viscosity and reduced energy content. In many cases, an increase in the main jet size, usually just one step, will cure that lean surge condition.
The fork seals were leaking badly, so that was the next task to complete. These fork designs were pirated for use on the CB400F Super Sport in 1975, so the disassembly procedure was known. What hindered the easy replacement was that the 8mm bolt which holds the inner damping rod down in the fork case was seized up in the fork housing and even use of air tools just stripped the Allen head hex out of the bolt head. Now that’s a problem! The “Plan B” step was to drill into the bolt head and drill it off of the rest of the bolt shaft, releasing the damper rod and allowing the fork to be disassembled. After some drilling was done, a screw extractor tool eventually allowed the bolt to be loosened and withdrawn. Once the fork seal was replaced, the remains of the bolt were too weak to hold the torque of the tightening process and the head sheared off completely.
Digging through some random bolts, a thin head bolt from a brake backing plate was slotted and reduced down to allow entry into the fork housing bolt recess. The screw slot was done with a hacksaw, so didn’t allow for a lot of tightening torque using a thin blade screwdriver. It was good enough to allow the fork to be reassembled and reinstalled, but a day later there was some fork fluid seeping around the bottom of the fork case, so a new bolt and washers was ordered from Honda to affect an appropriate repair next week.
With the CL360 set aside, the focus was on the XL350, whose carburetor was removed for checking and cleaning before following up with a valve adjust, camchain tension adjust, point gap and timing adjustment and hopeful easier starting. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened, much to my dismay. T would have been preferable not to have had the XL350 come over, due to the fact that the bike is kick-start only and Bill’s 8th month-old right knee replacement limits range of motion and strength during attempts to start the engine. After just a couple of vain attempts, the spark plug was removed to check for spark and there was none to be observed. So, how that that happen? The owner brought in a running bike and now it doesn’t have any spark to start the engine after just basic maintenance work.
Isolating the ignition on the XL350 is somewhat easy, as it has a magneto style spark system, which allows the street-legal lights to be removed, along with the battery for off-road use. Instead of the all-in-one type of flywheel magneto, the components are spread around the chassis; the primary coil is part of the stator coil set inside the flywheel, while the coil and condenser mount up on the frame beneath the fuel tank. The contact points are located off the end of the camshaft and incorporate a mechanical spark advance unit. The early bikes were setup to fire at 15 degrees before TDC, but a service bulletin indicates that there was a modification to fire them at 5 degrees before TDC instead to make starting easier. The points were set up to open at the prescribed marks, but nothing was happening at the spark plug. The plug cap was checked and it was found to be over the specified 5k ohms. The condenser is attached to the ignition coil, so both must be replaced as a unit.
Use of a 12v test light plugged into the primary pulse coil indicated some energy being generated at the stator, but it is very difficult to measure with a volt/ohm meter while you are kick-starting the motor over to generate the signal. The owner had returned to pick up the CL360 and observed my testing results. It appeared that the coil might be shorting out internally, coupled with the high resistance of the spark plug cap, so a new coil and cap were ordered from the local Honda shop. The $90 coil came in within two days of the order, but installing it on the bike did not improve the spark output whatsoever. So, what’s left now? A clumsy attempt to measure the primary coil output showed less than 2 ohms on the meter and only micro-volts being sent up the wiring to the coil. Removing the dyno cover to check for damage or defects proved fruitless, but the last thing on the list was the stator assembly. Honda seems to have used the same components on both the earlier XL250 and later model XL350s. Finding a nice looking unit on eBay, which came from a 1977 model, seemed like a safe bet, so it was ordered and received within two days, coming all the way in from Idaho! These parts are NLA from Honda now, so good used ones are the only option at this point. Incidentally, the replacement coil had an ohm reading of more than 5 ohms. The meter was having problems stabilizing, so it was somewhere between 5 and 10 ohms, a good bit different that was seen on the original failed part.
Happily, once the stator and new gasket/seal for the cover were all buttoned up, the long-lost spark at the plug resumed its appearance. With everything secured, the bike was kick-started successfully on the third try, even with the weakened kicking knee of Bill. This was what had been hoped for from the beginning. The slowly failing primary coil had thrown the troubleshooting efforts off-track during the process.
It would have been helpful had the factory service information been available, but neither searching on-line nor digging through limited repair books on hand gave sufficient clues as to what would have been proper specifications for the stator and the ignition coil sets. Thankfully, the owner was very understanding and quite pleased in the end that both bikes were up and running as good as they could be under the circumstances. For Bill, there was a lot of learning to do on the magneto ignition setups for the XL250-350 models.
The CL360 will be back for repair of the leaking fork bolt problem, but more importantly one of us will have to tear into the top end of that motor, to see just what is going on inside that is causing the knocking noises before they get substantially worse.
With both of those bikes off the driveway, it was only natural that an emergency call came in from my friend Marc, whose CB350F had suddenly puked a substantial amount of oil on the driveway, just after he had made a 15 mile freeway trip back home from work in downtown San Diego. His video clip was scary enough to make us both think that something catastrophic had occurred. Fortunately, he lives within a 15 minute drive, so some inspection tools were brought out to his house to have a quick look at the damage and cause of the leak. The actual cause was the shift shaft seal pushing itself clear out of the engine cases. What was probably the original factory seal had softened with age, heat and oil exposure to the point where it became very mushy and unable to withstand the crankcase pressure pushing from inside the engine at high speed. Had it happened to him on the freeway, his off-ramp departure might have proved to be disastrous with an oiled-up rear wheel that he never would have known about until it was way too late. Anyway, his motorcycle angels were hovering over him and lead him to safety before the big final oil dump took place.
Generally, the shift shaft seals give some warning as they wear and begin to weep oil past the seal lip edges. Little trickles of oil will drool out of the counter shaft cover drain holes, in most cases. Quite a number of shaft seals have needed to be replaced on bikes that have come through Casa de Honda in the past few years. If you are beginning to see some drips coming down from the shift shaft area of your bike, do not wait until it is too late to change them, please! Do it NOW!

There is a new monthly pop-up restaurant in Brno serving Japanese food, sushi in particular, at Bistro Prameniště on Špitálka 37. As a side note – why oh why oh why has nobody opened a Japanese restaurant on Sušilova?
The bistro is unassuming from the outside, and pretty unassuming on the inside, too. When we were there it was surprisingly quiet, in fact, once we were the only ones there, which didn’t help the atmosphere much. I think that may have been unlucky timing on our part, but the room itself doesn’t help, the walls are quite bare, and consequently the sound echoes so as to amplify the silence. One of my dining companions uncharitably remarked that the ambiance reminded her of Christmas dinner in a nursing home.
That we were alone is surprising when you consider that the event typically sells out weeks in advance: If you want the full experience you need to pre-book your sushi set online (details available through the Sushi Day Facebook event page), and there are a limited number that usually sell out quickly. But if you catch a peek inside the kitchen it becomes clear what makes this venue attractive – the kitchen is large, and fitted with many gleaming steel work surfaces giving lots of space for preparation.
The sushi is prepared fresh as it goes out the kitchen, so if you have a lot of orders going to the same table, you should be aware you‘ll probably have to wait a bit. Whilst we waited I ordered some of the cone shaped temaki from the day menu, and some sake to drink. The sake was gently warmed, and slightly sweet, yet the mildly bitter chlorophyll taste made it refreshing, like a green tea martini. I got the salmon temaki, and whilst I’m not usually a salmon fan, these were superb. With only the mildest of salmony taste, beautiful squidgy elastic rice, swaddled in a sheet of seaweed that seemed to pop open and decant the innards as I bit down on it. This is one of the dishes available on the menu you can order from if you turn up without having a pre-booked sushi set. It’s small, but everything I’ve tried from it has been delicious, and makes it worth a visit for those dishes alone.
The sushi platter that I’d ordered came out and looked beautiful. We were advised to start with the shiitake mushroom nigiri, which we did and which were great. The tea smoked salmon nigiri were also excellent, but everyone agreed the real highlight was the house sushi, the M & M rolls (named for the couple who invented them), which are avocado, tuna, salmon, with various sauces and something inside that gives them a crunch – a welcome contrast to sushi’s usually uniform softness.
Whilst the ambiance can be a bit lacking, there is a real sense that the food is prepared by people with a passion for what they’re doing. I wouldn’t pick it as the spot for a romantic anniversary date, but for those who want to try high-quality sushi in an informal setting, this is ideal. When you go somewhere to eat a specific type of food, and it’s so extraordinary as to make everything else taste underwhelming, that’s something worth noting.
My only warning would be maybe don’t come here if you don’t want to immediately feel dissatisfied with “ordinary” sushi.
How much Czech could a buček check if a buček could check Czech?
Huddled in an alley out of Zelný Trh, cloaked in the shadows and dressed in black awaits one of Brno’s very few food trucks. Bucheck isn’t just a meal, it’s a way of life.
There are 66 different sushi rolls on the menu, and besides having the recognisable classics they have a large selection of unconventional fusion recipes.

Each year, thousands of victims sustain serious injuries from dangerous and defective products. Home appliances, food, drugs, automobiles, medical devices, medical implants, and a variety of other products used by consumers every day go wrong and cause catastrophic injuries and deaths.
Severe personal injuries and wrongful deaths could be avoided if the manufacturers or distributors of these products took reasonable steps to ensure consumer safety. If you or a family member or loved one has been injured, or died, as a result of injuries due to the use of a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer to recover damages. You do not necessarily have to prove that the manufacturer was negligent.
Manufacturers and their marketers must label products they distribute for public use in so as to warn of all dangers associated with its’ proper or foreseeable uses. They must specifically state how that product should be used and warn you of the hazards.

Would you like to end your own suffering? Suffering comes in many forms: Anxiety, bitterness, frustration, depression, worry, annoyance and hate just to name a few! Byron Katie uses “The Work” to help YOU wake up to your own suffering and shows you how to actively work to end it. This book is very special to me personally. I first read Loving What Is when I was 18. Ameya was a newborn and I had just left an abusive relationship. It was one of the most emotionally challenging time of my life. Loving What Is became a beacon of light, guiding me back to my true self. YOU too, can experience life-enhancing changes by using “The Work” in your life!
If you’re a perfectionist, you probably attribute your achievements to your perfectionist ways. Don’t worry you don’t have to STOP being a perfectionist. Today you will learn to be a Healthy Perfectionist, an Optimalist, instead of a chronically stressed out Negative Perfectionist.
This is one of my all time favorite books! YOU cannot go wrong by adhering to the 4 agreements. Get ready to learn what they are and how to implement them in your life!
Sometimes we get everything we SAY we want yet we are still unhappy! This book helps you refocus your attention to create the life you desire filled with joy and happiness.

After over 38 years of experience in the fields of Probate Law and Family Law Litigation, we understand the intense emotions and feelings at play. Read full mission statement. In divorce and family law litigation, not only is your primary relationship being terminated and litigated, but the issues affect your life savings, and the ability to be a parent to your own children. In Probate and Estate Litigation, especially those cases involving allegations of Elder abuse or undue influence, people find that they are litigating their relationship to those loved ones who gave them the Gift of Life.
While some attorneys will “stoke the flames” to increase legal fees, we take the opposite approach: Litigation is expensive and emotionally draining, especially in these areas. We advocate for our clients to enforce their rights, and bring them closure with a fair outcome. It is our mission, and our mandate, to be tough but fair in protecting and advocating our clients’ rights.
Attorney Visconti graduated from Boston University Law School in 1978, and has been practicing law in Massachusetts for over 38 years. Read more.
Attorney John DeVito has been practicing law for over 35 years. Read more.
Barbara is, to many people, the “face” of our office. She brings over 25 years of experience to DeVito & Visconti. Read more.
Janet brings over 45 years of experience to us, and is skilled in numerous areas of law as a paralegal and a secretary. Read more.
"I have worked with Tony Visconti for many years now. He is a model for lawyers, in his dedication and deep concern for his clients ' interests. At the same time, he does not shy away from giving them the straight scoop when the news is bad. He is a persuasive and persistent advocate for his clients, and keeps working until he gets them the best he can get for them. I recommend him without hesitation."
I have in the past referred probate matters to Atty. Visconti. I have found his work to be knowledgeable and diligent, and his results to be superior. I would strongly recommend Atty. Visconti on matters relating to probate law and family law in Massachusetts.
I endorse this lawyer. An excellent attorney with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Visconti is a dedicated, zealous attorney. We have worked together and he always provides excellent representation. It is a pleasure to endorse him.
I endorse this lawyer. Extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is a dedicated and compassionate advocate for his clients. Have and will continue to recommend him.

Estate Planning is the planning of ones affairs for end-of-life issues, including preparation of legal documents to prepare for transitions and eventualities in one's life, and to arrange one's affairs so as to ensure that your estate passes to your loved ones.

A screenshot of video showing Sen. John Pinto, D-Gallup, singing The Potato Song.
Each year, Sen. John Pinto, D-Gallup, tells the story about how he and other Navajos training to be Code Talkers during World War II won a contest about the best song at boot camp.
As Sen. Cisco McSorley, D-Albuquerque, said later, he heard the prize was a case of beer and a day off of training.
While Pinto trained to be a Navajo Code Talker with the U.S. Marines, World War II ended before he would be sent overseas.
The singing came after the Senate unanimously approved Senate Joint Memorial 15, which calls on U.S. Congress to appropriate money to build a museum honoring Code Talkers.
Pinto then sings the song and it is one of those few times when everyone in the chamber—from the rostrum to the floor to the gallery—pays attention to the speaker.
Pinto has served in the State Senate since 1977.
NM Political Report also has the video from 2015.

Steve Morison takes the plaudits after firing Millwall in front. ROSS EVANS.
Millwall boss Kenny Jackett was proud of his side after the Lions, playing with 10 men for over 50 minutes, twice battled back from behind to eventually draw 4-4 with Charlton in a fantastic derby match at The Valley.
The visitors had raced into a two goal lead in the first half.
In-form Steve Morison capitalised on a defensive mix-up between to fire the Lions ahead on 12 minutes and then doubled the Lions’ advantage on 27 minutes when he was on hand to poke home the rebound after Paul Robinson’s shot hit the post.
However, Charlton, who have not lost at home all season, responded just two minutes later when David Mooney tempted Andy Frampton into a rash challenge in the box and Deon Burton rifled the spot-kick into the top corner.
The Addicks were level on 37 minutes when Jimmy Abdou brought down Lloyd Sam in the box, with the midfielder looking certain to slot in the leveller after latching on to Mooney’s shot which struck the post.
Abdou was shown a straight red card for the challenge and Burton blasted in his second penalty of the game, leaving 10-man Millwall seemingly facing an uphill task.
A stunning volley from Nicky Bailey seconds into the second period completed a remarkable comeback for Charlton.
However, the home side sat back and invited the Lions on.
The Addicks were made to pay when David Martin fired in from close range to level the scores at 3-3, sending the 3,500 away fans into rapture.
That joy was short lived, though, as a deep corner from Grant Basey deflected off Morison into the Lions net.
The action wasn’t over though as, in added time, Danny Schofield burst into the box, dribbled past Dailly, before slotting home under Elliot to seal a deserved point for the hard-working Lions.
“It was a good performance today and I was pleased with that because they have been few and far between away from home this season,” said a satisfied Jackett.
“There have been too many games where we haven’t put a performance on.
“You can’t guarantee a result because you can come up against officials like we did today, but you can guarantee a performance and you have to do that.
“Away from home we haven’t done enough this season but today we played very well.
“There were very good individual and collective performances.
“We never lay down, we kept going all the time and with 10 men we were very competitive in the game and did very well.
“I was pleased with the performance – it is something to build on for the second half of the season.
However, Jackett was disappointed with the refereeing for both penalty incidents.
He added: “I felt both penalty incidents were debatable.
“You usually get one of those in a game, but not two. To then send the guy off, it looks like a soft on to me.
But Jackett did reserve praise for Morison who bagged an impressive brace.
“His goals were very good and he has hit some form,” he said.
“Morison has played well today. Their centre halves knew they were in a game.
“He has got some pace, some power and he does a job for the team.
And the travelling fans’ support didn’t go unnoticed either.
Jackett added: “The Millwall fans were fantastic. When you see the whole away end filled like that.
“They stuck with us and fair play to them.

I always get excited about site visits. We write these grants telling people about how cool our programs are, but to have funders actually come down and visit is affirming. And terrifying. It’s a weird contradiction, like it’s your birthday—yay!—but you’re also getting a colonoscopy.
Before the visit, we try to prep as much as we can. Making a good impression is important. This includes tidying up the place and putting away our fold-out cot, which staff use for naps during particularly long days, or just weekdays. I also gather up all the papers on my desk and shove them into the overhead bin.
The staff’s personal appearance is also taken into consideration. “What kind of site visit is this?” one of them asked, “how should we dress?” The more funding is at stake, the better we dress. Less than $10,000, we dress a little better than normal, but are still generally shabby. At $10,000 to $19,000, we wear button-down shirts and tuck them into our jeans. $20,000 to $49,000, we wear slacks and a nice shirt, maybe a tie. $50,000 or over, I might require some of the staff to get Botox.
“$80,000,” I responded. “Ooh,” they said, “you better get a haircut.” A year ago, an hour from a visit with a major foundation, I checked myself in the mirror. Normally I look like a movie star, an Asian Steve Buscemi if you will, but this time I had a greenish complexion overshadowed by cowlicks so unruly, they were really goatlicks. Quickly I ran downstairs to a barber shop and got a trim. I made it to our program on time but was horrified to see that my face, neck, and shoulders were covered with bits of hair. “Quick, grab some tape,” I said, and for the next ten minutes, two staff used masking tape to remove offending pieces of hair. We got that grant, but the staff have never let me live that down.
On the day of this recent site visit, I was at a Leadership Tomorrow training. “Tidy up office, prepare slideshow,” I texted James, our Director of Youth and Community Engagement, who would be managing the project if we received this grant. This was only an office visit, not a program visit. Program visits have special challenges. We want our funders to see our programs in their natural state, so we don’t prep our students too much, except to tell them that a few people might be visiting and that if they don’t behave, Justin Bieber will stop singing forever.
When these visits go well, everyone leaves with a good feeling. The staff feel affirmed; the funders feel warm and fuzzy. Once in a while, though, they coincide with a crappy day, when kids have low energy, or some staff are absent, or the ED is hungover. Funders are usually pretty understanding and sympathetic when that happens, but I haven’t yet seen a bad site visit that has resulted in a grant or even a second-chance visit. It’s a horrible feeling watching a group of funders leave after an uninspiring tour. It’s like when you’re a kid and you’re practicing for hours at a yo-yo trick and it’s awesome and you’re excited to show your older brother, but then the trick doesn’t go right, and he tousles your hair and says “That was a nice try, Vu, I’m sure you’ll get it eventually,” and you’re mad at yourself because you already got it, dozens of time, so then you hide his car keys under the couch cushions.
On my way back, I got a text from James. “They are here thirty mins early! They in conf room relaxing!” Crap, I thought, I don’t have time to clean up my desk! The previous evening, I had eaten some Morningstar vegan barbecue ribs and left the plate out on the desk. The office had been cleaned, so my cubicle would be the only messy area. They’re going to think I’m disorganized and sloppy! How could they invest in an organization when the ED can’t even clean up his mess after eating vegan BBQ ribs?!
I arrived at the office with twenty minutes to spare, but somehow felt late and anxious. I ran up the stairs and burst into the conference room to greet the four visitors. This was $80,000 on the line and I was blinded by their radiance. Program officers are on average 27% more attractive than civilians, and like Galadriel the Elven Queen from Lord of the Rings when she nearly held the One Ring of Power, they can be both beautiful and terrible to behold.
“I’m so sorry for being…early,” I said, breathless. They cracked up. Maybe they’re just humans, too, after all.

I’d like to be the first to say Thank You for all the work you put in over the last few years, Ethan. I think the Lab succeed beyond anybody’s wildest expectations (I won’t say dreams, cuz you dream pretty big ;] ).
Ethan, you were the primary drive behind the lab. Sure, there were many other hands who helped out, but I know you dedicated uncountable dollars of your own accord to this effort. Not to mention, countless hours, and probably a few buckets of sweat, and probably a small plastic jar of urine. You definitely made the lab a priority in your life and risked sanity and a job to keep the place floating. Thanks so much.
I didn’t learn about 757 Labs until near the end of 1.0, but what I saw was pretty cool and I definitely want to be a part of 2.0! Many kudos to all you guys!
Looking for to 757Labs 2.0 and all the hard work put in by everyone.
I just learned about you guys. I am really looking forward to joining when it is up an running again. If you need any volunteers to help get things going give me a shout.

Today, we announce that the first of three shortlisted authors in the running for the Editia Prize is Frankie Seymour of Queanbeyan NSW, with her essay Beyond Biosphere. Read on to learn more about Frankie, and read an excerpt from her shortlisted entry.
The judges, book publisher Charlotte Harper, University of Canberra Professor of Journalism Matthew Ricketson, former editor of The Australian Malcolm Schmidtke and broadcaster, author and social commentator Jane Caro, will convene at 2pm this Friday to choose between three works shortlisted for the award.
Tomorrow, we’ll bring you details on the second finalist, and on Thursday, the third … though we’re having some trouble tracking him down so fingers crossed he checks his Twitter messages, voicemail and/or email by then.
Congratulations to all the entrants, not just these final three. The judges have been variously intrigued, amused, entertained, moved and informed as they consumed tales about running with the bulls in Pamplona, dripping with sweat in Japanese business meetings, pioneering in the Whitsundays, exploring polar ice in an all-terrain and all-temperature vehicle, literary touring of Lebanon and the death of an asbestos town among many others. Every entry was worth a read, and many will find their way to publication in time, we’re sure.
When any new species is introduced to an established ecosystem, it can cause the local extinction of other, resident species – but normally this damage occurs only on a small scale, with minimal long-term impacts on ecological systems. Whenever a foreign species arrives or arises in a healthy, resilient environment, one of three things will happen: it will fail to survive at all; it will settle in with minimal impact; or it will kill off a few resident species while the rest adapt around it. If it survives, it will soon become “naturalised” and, ultimately, any short term loss of biodiversity caused by its arrival will be reversed as new genetic mutations find niches, and new species diversify to fill up the altered ecosystem.
However, this new primate, because of its ability to adapt to new climates and environments without waiting for new genetic mutations, did its damage very quickly, and on a planetary scale. The primate exterminated entire ecosystems to make way for crops and pastures, replaced wild animals, which were functioning components of ecosystems, with domesticated animals which are not. Its settlements monopolised all the best sea and lake shores and river banks, restricting access to the water supply and the best vegetation for any other animal.
More and more of the planet was changed so it no longer served the whole biosphere, but now serviced only the one species. At this point, the species’ genetic selfishness stopped benefitting the biosphere, and began eroding it.
The human primate had become a cancer. As with the cancer in the individual organism, the new species was gradually turning everything on the planet into an extension of itself. By the Middle Ages, we were a creeping cancer. Nowadays we are a galloping cancer, totally out of control.
A lifelong human and animal rights advocate, Frankie Seymour studied history, sociology and English literature, with post-graduate studies in environmental science. She spent the first half of a 30-year public service career working for social justice in the (then) Department of Social Security, and the second half analysing and evaluating environmental data in the Department of the Environment. Now retired, she divides her time between animal rights activism and writing. She writes poetry, songs, plays, non-fiction and speculative fiction, and occasionally dabbles in the romance and mystery genres. In 1993, she published an autobiographical account of her voyages aboard the Sea Shepherd in 1981 (All Hearts on Deck). Her work has been commended in more than a score of literary awards and she has had many poems, stories and articles published in local and wider publications.

The work plan of the proposed action, IRIS-SES, is divided into 4 main activities, whereas a 5th one is devoted to the coordination, management, public outreach and dissemination of results.
End date: 5th month, continuous update related to other activites. Final Draft Report on 17th month, Final Report 18th month.
The main aim of the Activity 1 will be the preparation of a catalogue and a comprehensive analysis of the existing monitoring programs related to European Directives (WFD, Habitats and Birds Directive, Common Fisheries Policy, UNEP/MAP Barcelona Convention and Black Sea commissions, other Regional Seas Conventions etc) and other national or international programs in the Mediterranean and Black Seas (such as PERSEUS and MISIS, COCONET, DEVOTES), in order to assess the contribution of these programs to meeting MSFD needs.
In the Mediterranean region, pollution monitoring is being implemented under in the framework of UNEP/MAP MED POL in a coordinated manner since 1980 (MED POL Phase II) to implement the relevant provisions of the Barcelona Convention and the LBS Protocol. During the MED POL Phases III (1996-2005) and IV (2006-2013), national monitoring programmes were harmonized, a data quality control system was applied and national monitoring data were submitted to the MED POL database. The MED POL monitoring programme includes state and trend monitoring of hazardous substances and eutrophication parameters, as well as a pilot programme on biological effects monitoring. Additionally, MED POL has implemented a periodical inventory of pollution sources and loads from land based activities, in the framework of the LBS Protocol and the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to Address Pollution from Land-based Activities (adopted in 1997 and launched in 2000). Also, compliance monitoring was coordinated, in order to assess the effectiveness of action plans, programmes and measures for pollution control implemented by the Governments (compliance monitoring – microbiological pollution).
In the Black Sea, Romanian, Bulgaria and Turkey are part of the BSIMAP (Black Sea Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme), but compliance with its requirements is not regulated in the national legislation.
Black Sea states Ministries of Environment nominate Institutions which monitor pressures, state and impacts in the Black Sea in the frames of the National Monitoring Systems and report the data to the Black Sea Information System (BSIS). Therefore, the data collected in this manner are not a product of an integrated monitoring program strategy and cannot be used for ecosystem-based approach to assessment of the Black Sea environment status.

"Always a great pleasure shooting here!" Brittany B.
Amazing space! Was perfect for our shoot, light was amazing, and host was super helpful and responsive. Would definitely use again!
Always a great pleasure shooting here!
This is a really beautiful space. I really enjoyed using it for the making of my video for a few hours. I have to say that one of the pros was the excellent communication with Tristan and Kevin, who helps manage the space. They were overly communicate the day that we were shooting, as we were planning to use the rooftop and there were heavy rains in the forecast that day. It was a really great experience overall in that the space is pretty top notch. I don't know if I understand the whole aspect of charging extra for video footage - as a musician - I'm not swimming in it and this was a stretch for me to book, so I don't know if I can ever rent it again. But I appreciated Tristan sharing the space with me that day.
Tristan was very easy to work with and the space was great! We received so many compliments on this gorgeous venue. We loved it.
Tristan was AMAZING and was super helpful with load in and load out.
Tristan was awesome - space was really great. Better than I expected. Only issue we had is we were recording audio and the street noise go pretty loud. Other than that everything was perfect!

« What’s this geocaching all about, then?
In the words of Hoot the Owl, from Giggle and Hoot, “What a day it’s been”. As I mentioned in a previous post, we were thinking of moving the boys into one bedroom, to free up a room for a play room. Well, this afternoon we made the move. A bed was disassembled and reassembled, chests of drawers were moved, and the craft cupboard was relocated. There’s still one big job to do, and that’s to move the bookcase from the bedroom into the play room. We’re pretty pleased with how much we got done in a fairly short time.
The boys seem happy with the new arrangements, so hopefully we won’t need to move everything back. All we need to do now is figure out how to store all their toys.

Workers' Compensation laws were not enacted until about 1911 and in South Carolina specifically the South Carolina Industrial Commission was created to administer and enforce the states Corkers' Compensation laws.

Furthermore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics note that more than 2.86 million recordable workplace injury cases reported in 2011.
Specifically in South Carolina more than 59,000 new Workers' Compensation cases were opened between mid-2011 and 2012.

Workers' Compensation is meant to cover a wide array of injuries and illnesses however each state has their own criteria for determining the category the injury falls into and thus what type of benefits the victim is entitled to.
In South Carolina the following benefits are most commonly available to all those who have suffered a workplace accident.
Medical Benefits: Coverage of medical appointment, medication, medical devices, and more are usually covered with Workers' Compensation insurance. However, employees are usually required to see a doctor selected by their employer.
Temporary Partial/Total Disability: If a worker is temporarily disabled due to a workplace accident they will receive 2/3 of their average weekly wage to not exceed $784.03 and up to a maximum of 500 weeks.
Permanent Partial/Total Disability: According to the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission a total of 3,481 permanent disability agreements were made between mid-2011 and 2012. Permanent disability provides 2/3 of a worker's average weekly wage if they have become permanently disabled, this may include loss of eyesight, loss of limb, facial disfiguration and many other types of injuries.
Death Benefits: If an employee suffers a fatal workplace injury or is diagnosed with a fatal occupational disease the victim's family may be entitled to compensation to cover burial expenses. The victim's spouse and/or children may also be entitled to recover lost wage benefits.
South Carolina law specifies that employees must notify their employer about an injury within 90 days of the occurrence. For repetitive injury cases, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, employees must report their injury within 90 days of the diagnosis or discovery of the damage.
