THE ISSUE: Start with research
The local manufacturing sector employs about 10 000 people directly and is said to support as many as 30 000 Barbadians.
Along with tourism, international business and financial services, and agriculture it is one of our key productive sectors.
There is, however, some concern that the manufacturing industry is not living up to its true potential.
Two Central Bank of Barbados researchers have called for multi-dimensional improvements to be made to the sector in order for it to make a meaningful economic contribution.
According to Jason LaCorbinière and Anton Belgrave, the failure of the industry to take advantage of myriad fiscal and other Government incentives reveals underlying structural weaknesses affecting the sector.
“Chief among these are the sector’s relative productivity weakness and failure to benefit fully from the transfer of technology brought in by foreign firms,” they said.
Writing in the June 2011 edition of the bank’s online journal Economic Review, they said the relatively less competitive real exchange rate, coupled with high transportation costs, limits the extent to which Barbados can compete in price-sensitive manufactured goods.
LaCorbinière and Belgrave suggested that there needs to be greater emphasis on research and development both at the macro and micro levels of the sector.
“For the former, research is needed to determine the broad reasons for the differences between Barbados’ productivity levels and those in other competing jurisdictions. At the level of the firm, it is important to understand how these differences influence decision-making and what is necessary to improve the efficiency of domestic industry,” they said.
Also, given that transportation costs issues are likely to persist, the researchers suggested that one approach to strengthening the sector could be to focus on goods with high value-to-weight ratios which would be amenable to air transportation.
LaCorbinière and Belgrave added: “As ICT processes become increasingly fundamental in manufacturing processes, Barbados’ scientific and technological absorptive capacity will have to be enhanced to attract and truly gain from the high-technology and high value-added manufacturing goods that Barbados needs to compete”.
The October 16, 2010 SATURDAY SUN reported that local manufacturers and businesses had appealed to newly appointed Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler to give them some relief from the tough economic climate in his first Budget.
Ian Pickup, then president of the Barbados Manufacturers’ Association, said bearing in mind the financial situation, they thought it would be improper to go asking for large concessions.
However, he said there was no running away from the fact that the cost of doing business remained high and that the sector was “under tremendous pressure”.
He pointed to rising commodity prices as well as recent hikes in the domestic price of electricity and water, which he said had significantly affected the bottom line. In addition, he said local manufacturers were forced to grapple with high port charges.
“People have to understand, I think, that even at the lowest level for a single small 20-foot container, the Barbadian importer pays 121 per cent more than a Trinidadian importer would to bring it through the port – and if you are talking about a 40-foot refrigerated container, then Barbadian importers are paying 434 per cent more than their Trinidadian counterparts,” explained Pickup.
Import challenges were also a concern for Glendine Greaves, director of sales and marketing for condiment manufacturer C&G Star Trading Ltd.
The June 29, 2009 BARBADOS BUSINESS AUTHORITY reported that amid the global economic crisis, her foremost concern was not dampening demand for products for export but rather the means to get products to the market in a timely manner at a competitive price.
“Oftentimes the customer will give an order and payment is only made after the goods are received by them, which means that the onus is on the small manufacturer to finance the actual production of the goods,” she added.
Greaves said this was a problem that caused small Barbadian export manufacturers to lose out to regional competitors such as those in Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica.
Regional competition was also a challenge for Good Time Snacks director Rosie Noel who said local manufacturers were struggling while Trinidadians were thriving.
“It’s rough competing with Trinidad because they get subsidized gas and oil and diesel for their trucks and we have to pay an electricity bill that has doubled in the last two to three years,” she said in the March 5, 2012 BARBADOS BUSINESS AUTHORITY.
Meanwhile, the March 21, 2011 BARBADOS BUSINESS AUTHORITY reported that the local furniture manufacturing industry still faces “an uphill battle” proving to local buyers that their products are just as good, if not better than, furniture produced in the Far East or elsewhere.
According to a statement issued by the Barbados Manufacturers’ Association (BMA), furniture manufacturing has undergone “tremendous” growth and development over the years and despite the view by some that local furniture manufacturing was dead, “the quality, creativity and craftsmanship demonstrated in furniture resident in a number of large hotels and homes across the island suggest quite the opposite”.
The statement said that what the manufacturing sector was requesting from consumers was a “level playing field”.
It also said that the cost of doing business and limited resources available in a “normal” business environment, compounded by the global economically challenging times, did not allow local manufacturers “the luxury” of mass-producing and stockpiling furniture in the hope of an upcoming project.
“It would therefore be unfair to ask small manufacturers to compete against mass-producing nations which operate at a fraction of the cost and with resources much greater within the same time frame,” according to the statement.
The BMA said it realized that the island was not self-sufficient and the strength of the local sector “is our ability to respond to the customized needs of buyers”.
The association said it was working to not only prove that manufacturing was not dying, but also to boost exports, reduce import bills, secure jobs and strengthen the overall manufacturing sector.

The vaccination centre at the Hydro, the biggest in Glasgow should stay open until all adults have been vaccinated MSPs have said.
Labour and Conservative politicians in Glasgow said it was not the time to be closing the centre with the most capacity when the aim is to get more people vaccinated.
The centre is to close on Sunday with health bosses saying it will be handed back to the SEC to be used as the UN SOP 26 venue in November.
Instead people are being told to one of 17 hubs across Glasgow from Monday instead.
Pauline McNeill Labour, Glasgow MSP said: “We are in a race to get people vaccinated against the virus.
“We need this open longer, at least until the August 9 date by which we need to get everyone vaccinated.
“We should keep it open until everyone is double vaccinated. We should not be closing the biggest venue.”
Annie Wells, Conservatvie MSP for Glasgow said: “Just as we head towards the finishing line, the SNP are overseeing a slowing down in Scotland’s vaccination rollout.
“They are set to miss their own targets and hundreds of thousands of adults are still set to be waiting on getting their first dose.
“People will understandably be confused as to why the decision has been taken to close the country’s largest vaccination centre.
“While preparations for the COP26 summit ultimately have to be made, there are concerns that capacity in the vaccine rollout could be lost at such a critical point as a result of taking this decision now.
The Scottish Government said it will not affect capacity for vaccinations.
Humza Yousaf, Health Secretary said: “By close of play on Sunday every adult in the NHSGGC area who attended their scheduled appointment will have received their first dose but we urge anyone who hasn’t come forward for whatever reason to pop into the Hydro as staff mark its final day as a vaccination centre.
“It is now time for the site to be handed over in preparation for COP26 as was always the intention. The transition from the Hydro will be seamless with no negative impact on vaccination capacity and appointments have been allocated to alternative clinics, although of course, people can always head along to one of the many drop-in clinics now operating in the area if they prefer.
“As ever I continue to urge everyone to take up their offer of a vaccine, be it first or second dose. It is the best route out of this pandemic and the best way to protect yourself, your family and friends and your community.”
Local health chiefs said the Hydro has played its part hundreds of thousands of people vaccinated.
A team of around 3000 vaccinators have worked across the programme at the Hydro with thousands of doses administered.
Jane Grant, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde chief executive, said: “The SSE Hydro and NHS Louisa Jordan Hospital have both played a really significant role in enabling NHSGGC to deliver our vaccination programme.
“I want to personally thank all staff who have been working so tirelessly at the SEC campus, from our vaccinators, support and logistics staff, admin teams, site security and everyone who has helped behind the scenes to enable so many people to receive their vaccination.
“Likewise to the members of the public who have come forward and rolled up their sleeves already, thank you for doing so.”
Meanwhile Labour has said that thousands of people have been left hanging on the telephone waiting for enquiries about vaccine appointments to be answered. They said that people have given up on calls as they were left waiting.
statistics show that on every weekday between 17 May and 9 June, over a quarter of calls to the helpline were abandoned.
The party obtained figures that showed in May alone, over 20 per cent of all calls were abandoned, rising to 32 per cent for the last two weeks of the month.
It said an increase in wait times came as the volume of calls to the helpline increased – there were over 670,000 calls to the helpline in May and almost 200,000 in the first nine days of June alone.
Jackie Baillie, Labour Health Spokeswoman said:“It is deeply worrying that thousands of Scots who are seeking help or guidance on the vaccine programme are being left hanging on the telephone or having to give up without answers.
“We simply cannot have thousands going without the help and guidance that they need.
“It is the duty of the Scottish Government to ensure that the vaccine helpline is fit for purpose.”

If you have no sense of self...how do you know that you are a BL and not a heterosexual? |
You are talking about 2 different things, a sense of self and a fundamental sense of self
I have a sense of a self as an actor in the world, sure. That self has identities attached to it, eg "male" "BL", but nothing tells me anything about a fundamental sense of self. I am male because my body is male, is that what you mean by fundamental? I am a BL because I have thoughts and feelings about boys, is that what you mean by fundamental?
You are claiming that there are some basic essence or soul like thing that is "who you are". I dont believe that there is such a thing.
If you made love to a women, wouldn't you have the feeling that this is not what you are
Again, I dont really know what this means. its not what I am? There would certainly be feelings of fear, revulsion, disgust maybe. But that says nothing about "what I am".
You gave a hypothetical example of "having your mind transferred to a different body". You obviously believe that the mind and body are 2 separate things, that the mind "inhabits" or "is born into" the body, and that the mind is "who you are" or your "fundamental sense of self"
I dont believe any of these things, and your hypothetical example is just that, a story, with no evidence that such a thing is possible, or that you would feel that way even if such a thing were possible.
You have no basis for your beliefs. You are confusing thoughts and feelings with a "fundamental sense of self"

While the central mystery of The Walking Dead season 9 remains the origin story of the Whisperers (we’ll learn almost all of that next week, oddly), there’s one enduring puzzle that has perplex both show-watchers and comic-readers, as it’s not from the source material, and has barely been addressed so far this season.
That would be the “X” scars we’ve seen on both Michonne and Daryl’s backs. We know that…something bad happened over the past six years during the time jump. The jist of it appeared to be that there was some sort of threat, Michonne had to do something controversial but for the greater good, but it sort of splintered the communities and created a frosty relationship between Michonne and the Hilltop.
But Norman Reedus, speaking on Talking Dead, went into a fair amount of detail about the scars, and revealed something surprising, after first joking about her and Daryl having some “S&M fun” while Rick was away. But more seriously:
“It is a backstory actually, but you’ll find out what happened with that is something that just happened between Michonne and Daryl.”
“And the rest of the group don’t really know what that is yet, but something horrific happened right there and you’ll learn later, with the new people coming into the group, that there’s certain lines that you don’t cross but we crossed them,” Reedus said.
“And just between she and I, that’s our little secret, but it’s a really dark, dark secret.”
This is…interesting, because I would not have guessed that this secret was…truly that, some sort of secret between Michonne and Daryl only that no one knows about. Presumably this is somehow still linked to the larger drama of what happened between Hilltop and Alexandria, but Daryl’s talking about “new people coming into the group” here.
We know that we are getting a flashback episode or two at some point this season to explain what exactly went on here. I really don’t quite understand what could have happened here. Presumably if new people arrived and turned out to be a threat, and Michonne and Daryl killed them that’s…not so bad, right? Kind of par for the course for the apocalypse, even if it was some sort of secret execution. So what could be so dark about it? What do the scars have to do with it? Were they captured and tortured and had to turn the tables?
Regardless, Reedus’s comments made me really interesting in seeing this mystery solved, particular because we now know it may be one of Michonne’s last story arcs on the show ever, as after season 9, she’s only appearing in a handful of season 10 episodes before leaving for good, possibly only returning to join Rick’s spin-off movies.
Even if the cast is falling apart, this really is the best The Walking Dead has been in years, and you are missing out if you’re not watching. I get that getting through the Negan War is kind of a struggle, but honestly with the time jumps, you might be able to just skip it and launch into season 9 directly to get to the better stuff under Angela Kang. Give it a shot.

Phragmidium violaceaum has all spore forms, but Puccinia xanthii has only teliospores and basidiospores.
While some rusts do have a full life-cycle, all stages may not be present in the field. Only the uredinial and telial stages of Puccinia abrupta var. partheniicola have been found in the field in Mexico. While the teliospores are functional, germination has only been observed in the laboratory after dormancy had been broken by chemical treatment. The rust appears to cycle in the field by the urediniospore stage only. These spores have the ability to remain dormant over winter while retaining their viability.
Pathogenicity tests are aimed at selecting the most effective strain of the pathogen for the biotype(s) of the target weed and the environmental conditions under which the weed grows. Specimens of the target weed, grown from seed collected from the target area, are inoculated under the target environmental conditions with the strains of the candidate pathogen that have been collected from different parts of its native range. Pathogenicity is then assessed from symptoms exhibited by the target weed and microscopic examination as for host specificity testing.
As for insects (Heard this volume), preliminary inform- ation about the host specificity of a potential agent pathogen in its country of origin might be obtained by searching the literature, particularly crop protection literature, checking herbarium collections and records, and checking with workers in agriculture to determine whether the pathogen is a known pest of crops.
In the absence of other preliminary information, host range tests against a small selection of plants, usually closely related to the target weed, should be done in the country of origin. This will determine whether
further, more detailed, testing is warranted.
Supply of test plants
Since testing for Australian weeds is carried out overseas, it is necessary to provide the laboratory carrying out the work with test plants. Where possible test plant seed is sent to the country where the testing is to be carried out. This is the easiest and cheapest method as there are usually fewer problems with quarantine requirements. However, in some cases it is necessary to grow the plants before despatch to the testing agency. In this case, the plants must be able to withstand reasonably rough handling, including being turned upside down, and exposure to extremes of temperature. A packaging method for sending plants overseas which has proven to be reliable involves sealing each plant in its own container which is lined with absorbent paper to prevent sweating and breakdown of the foliage in transit, and tightly packing the individual containers into a polystyrene box which is protected by an outer layer of strawboard.
Host specificity testing involves assessing the response to infection by the test plants at the cellular level. Plants are inoculated in batches of four or five species along with the target weed as a control. Inoculation of each test species should be replicated three or four times. Each replicate is valid only if infection of the control plant is normal. The plants should be inoculated and incubated under ideal conditions for the development of the particular pathogen, and maintained for twice the length of the latent period for the pathogen on its natural host to allow complete development, eg the production of urediniospores. Pathogen development should be observed both macroscopically and microscopically. In the latter case, sample sections of the leaves are examined using techniques such as whole leaf clearing and staining technique (Bruuese and Hasan 1983), and scanning

Previously on Same Love
This is what I felt in the wake of my posthaste admission of "swinging both ways" on a local online forum. The short-lived elation was quickly doused by growing fears that an acquaintance or worse - a homophobic college buddy might find a way to connect the dots and trace my identity despite using a pseudonym to announce my belated crossover. I remember the immediate need for subterfuge. For I was a guy who was at long last in a loving relationship with a girl. Though the masquerade had brought me some time (I had already confessed to a gay phone pal a year before that I might actually be open to same-sex attraction), and might have dispelled "rumors" already circulating because of my "gentle" personality, (they often point out my bromances, when such concept has yet to exist)
I always knew that something was odd.
That I always get off when I lock my thoughts with the actor on a straight porn instead of gratifying myself while watching the woman being banged.
The events of 2002 resurface as a reminder of how far I've come, and how the world had changed after the Queer As Folk/Will & Grace revolution happening at the same time. In our day, a gay person is forced to act effeminate. People knew them as comic relief who would wear women's clothes and accessories and not men who happen to super-like other men. Our queer time was spent in the closet and in the chatrooms, where the day to day struggle for acceptance is being shared with the kindred.
I remember meeting strangers from online websites to tell my journey. Nothing more. And in some of those sundry and profound conversations about our lives, never did the idea of same-sex marriage ever crossed our minds.
Even when some European nations began making moves for such unions to be recognized and protected by the state.
The logic then was simple. Why push for something progressive when we can't fully embrace the person we choose to be? How can gay unions even be possible when the public at large thinks people like us are immoral, a source of shame in the family, and a bane to society?
Such were the issues of the day.
Little did we know that the seeds dispersed when GMA TV audaciously produced the TV news program "Out," and the great "Pink Peso" became a buzzword for marketing firms that everything we had worked for will eventually produce results. Here and abroad, the movement liberated thousands of men who were living secret and double lives. Going out and admitting your sexuality to the world suddenly became the trend. With the Western media in the front lines, lending their air time for LBGT causes, universal self-recognition was at hand. You will see gay people today - some of them contemporaries of our time announcing on social media their engagement to their significant other.
While much work needs to be done, including laws that will expand safety nets for men who carry HIV, and the complete eradication of hate crimes and speeches against gay people, I am fairly confident that the generation after us will no longer have to live in denial. That now and forevermore, being gay is not just a phase.
And that gay couples having children of their own is as ordinary as single mothers raising kids.

Potentiometers and adjustable resistors are both electronic components that may be implemented within a system to govern current and allow for many electronics to function properly. While potentiometers and adjustable resistors have similar uses in manipulating voltage values, their methods of operation and applications often differ. In this blog, we will provide a brief overview of the potentiometer and adjustable resistor, allowing you to understand their differences and how each is used within the realm of electronics.
Potentiometers are a type of variable resistor that features three terminals and a sliding or rotating contact. With an adjustable contact brush that may move across the body of the component, resistance values can be changed as needed to meet a particular requirement. While the three-terminal assembly is standard for potentiometers, they can also be used as a two-terminal component such as a variable resistor or rheostat.
While there are a variety of potentiometer components available on the market, the most common types include those such as straight-slip potentiometers, trimmer potentiometers, dual potentiometers, multi-turn potentiometers, and more. Across all types, the operation of the components often centers around the adjustment of voltage and current magnitudes. To achieve this, the rotating shaft or sliding handle of the component can be adjusted as to affect the positioning of the moving contact.
Adjustable resistors are commonly referred to as variable resistors, and they allow for the adjustment of current within a circuit. Adjustable resistor components come in many types, those being wirewound adjustable resistors, adjustable ceramic disks, adjustable resistor chips, and more. Furthermore, varying sizes, shapes, materials, and other manufacturing factors will also have an effect on the performance and use of the particular adjustable resistor.
While the two types of components are fairly similar in their construction and use, there are a number of key differences that set them apart, For one, the potentiometer has a much larger volume and may exhibit a longer service life during operations. With its installation, the potentiometer may also be adjusted frequently as needed to achieve specific values. On the other hand, an adjustable resistor may be installed on a circuit board and is rarely operated outside of general troubleshooting or maintenance. To protect itself from electrical interference, a potentiometer is grounded to the circuit with its metal shell. With the adjustable resistor, no such grounding is present and thus the component may be affected by various forces. Beyond such examples, there are also various differences in the physical construction and operation of adjustable resistors and potentiometers that set them apart.
Generally speaking, potentiometers are often used for audio control, and they may come in linear or rotary types. With either potentiometer type, the loudness of the system or other audio signals may be adjusted as needed. Potentiometers may also be used for motion control applications, as they can serve as a servomechanism that performs position feedback operations. With an adjustable or variable resistor, transducers, oscillators, televisions, home electrical appliances, and other applications may benefit.

Mayor Says He Was "Screaming" Over Stimulus Allocation
Friday, March 06, 2009
Mayor Bloomberg's staff has been all over the state in the last two days, slapping them upside the head for "shorting" the city Medicaid stimulus money to the tune of $200 million -- or $600 million -- depending on how severe unemployment gets in the city. (The state says its allocations are "fair and equitable.") It's not an uncommon tactic to let your deputies do the talking when you have something not nice to say. But now the mayor himself is letting the words cross his own lips, saying on his weekly radio show that he was "screaming" when the bill was being written that money should go directly to cities for this reason.
Reported here on WNYC:

With this latest investment, nearly $1.2 million has been spent on new roofing, windows and other improvements at St. Peter’s Elementary in recent years,” said Education Minister Clyde Jackman.
Work to replace the heating system will take place over the summer months. It is one of more than 1,600 repairs and maintenance projects undertaken at schools in Newfoundland and Labrador since 2004.
“This is good news for our students and staff, knowing that their school is receiving more improvements,” said Glenn Littlejohn, MHA for Port de Grave. “Our government is clearly committed to providing a healthy and safe place for learning in Upper Island Cove, and in all of our communities.”
The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011.

Η Nissan παρέδωσε το πρώτο GT-R Nismo στις Η.Π.Α και μας το παρουσιάζει. Βαμμένο σε μαύρο χρώμα,ώστε να κάνουν έντονη αντίθεση οι κόκκινες λεπτομέρειες, το αυτοκίνητο έχει παραγγελθεί από τον Matt McCulloh, συνιδρυτή του NAGTROC (North American GT-R Owners Club).
Μηχανικά φορά τον twin-turbo V6 3.8-λίτρων κινητήρα απόδοσης 600 ίππων με 652 Nm ροπής, σημαντικά βελτιωμένος από όσα παράγει η MY2014 έκδοση του GT-R (550 άλογα με 627 Nm ροπής). Η αύξηση αυτή των 50 ίππων προήλθε από τη νέα εξάτμιση, τη νέα εισαγωγή αέρα, τα μεγαλύτερα turbo προερχόμενα από την GT3 έκδοση, τη νέα αντλία βενζίνης και της επαναρυθμισμένης ECU. Η Nissan μάλιστα αναφέρει πως μπορεί να κάνει τον κινητήρα να παράγει ακόμη περισσότερα άλογα, αλλά μετά υπήρχε κίνδυνος να μην αντέξει το κιβώτιο ταχυτήτων. Με το track πακέτο έχει σημειώσει χρόνο 7:08.679 στο Nürburgring Nordschleife και αναλυτικές λεπτομέρειες γι’αυτό μπορείς να βρεις εδώ.

VIDEO REPORT: Long awaited 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO at home in N.C.
WINSTOM-SALEM, North Carolina – It was a momentous day for Winston-Salem, North Carolina, resident Matt McCulloh, and a historic day for Nissan. McCulloh took delivery of the first 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO made for the U.S. market.
“It is just exciting, because you see how happy he is. And whatever it is in life that makes you happy, you just well up in tears thinking that he has worked so hard for this day. And, although it is just a car, to him it is something he has been very passionate about. And it is just a great day – just a fun day,” said Sherry McCulloh, Matt’s mom.
This legendary car made its debut in 2013 concurrently with introductions at the Tokyo and Los Angeles auto shows. With 600-horsepower*, it is the most powerful Nissan GT-R ever. This 2015 model year version is sold out in the U.S. market.
“It was like a surreal moment for me. I saw it, and it just took a second to register that this was finally my car. And that I was going to have the privilege to own the very first GT-R NISMO for the United States and be a part of the great 30-year history of the NISMO brand,” said Matt McCulloh, GT-R NISMO owner.
McCulloh knows this history well. He co-founded NAGTROC, the North American GT-R Owners Club in 2006, and he enjoys connections to many in this enthusiast community.
“The GT-R NISMO has more than fulfilled my wildest expectations. Just looking at this car – it to me is the quintessential version of the GT-R that I have always longed for,” said McCulloh. “It is an honor to have been along with the ride the entire way from having an ’09, a ’12. Having that history with the GT-R is going to allow me to have a deeper appreciation of this car. I can see where it started to where it is now.”
Nissan realized this historic first car had a unique owner. The company made certain to show their appreciation for McCulloh on delivery day.
“When we realized his passion for the car, his involvement with the GT-R community, and his involvement with the brand, we wanted to do something a little extra special. First we wanted to be here, to shake his hand, see the smile on his face and just take pride in that moment with him,” said Jeff Simmons, Nissan Marketing. “Additionally we have a little something special for him. We have a crew at his house and they are giving his garage a makeover. That is going to be the home of his new NISMO, so we are giving it a little NISMO touch.”
The Nissan GT-R is assembled at Nissan’s Tochigi plant, located about 60 miles north of Tokyo; its potent engine is carefully hand-assembled by a single craftsman at NISMO’s Yokohama engine factory. A limited number of GT-R NISMOs are made each year. The amount of those that reach U.S. shores is even more limited.
This car, the first delivered in the U.S. and the one that McCulloh has been waiting for, now is at home in North Carolina. He says his new baby will see some time on the road … and plenty of time on the track.
“This car to me is like a brute-force tool. To me it is so purpose-built that I am going to do a lot of track,” said McCulloh. “I’m going to really use this car as far as track, autocross, a little drag-strip – so, you know, track and getting to spend some time in this great garage that I have here now.”

What is amazing is how the In-Bed-With-Obama Media is reporting all is well in Obamaland, and how those on the left believes it, while they are ignoring the tsunami of ill content that is coming their way. I honestly hope they continue to ignore it. (It's not just a Right thing either.)Looking at some of the other posts Pat referred to I found one thing rather baffling. One blog mentioned how some Blue Dog Democrats were upset about being lied to by their party leaders. Do they honestly think we're that stupid? Those bozos knew exactly what they were signing up for, the only thing they weren't expecting was the backlash they got in their home districts. The real majority of Americans are angry, and have been pushed around by a small percentage of radicals long enough and is now refusing to be pushed around anymore. And this is surprising, and upsetting, the left. I think the curtain has been pulled back is exposing the Wizard of Obamaland.

Gold Coast have blown a huge chance to press their case for a maiden AFL finals appearance, suffering a horror 48-point defeat at the hands of Essendon.
The Bombers prevailed 14.19 (103) to 8.7 (55) at Marvel Stadium on Sunday to continue their late-season resurgence with a fourth win in five games.
But while Ben Rutten's side are out of the finals picture, the Suns were left to rue a missed opportunity in a bitterly disappointing performance with so much on the line.
An opportunity arrived on Saturday for the group of teams chasing eighth spot when incumbents Richmond were upset by last-placed North Melbourne.
Gold Coast (8-8) failed to take advantage and now sit one win behind the Tigers, Western Bulldogs and St Kilda (all 9-7) ahead of a huge clash with Queensland rivals Brisbane in round 19.
The Suns' percentage was 108.9 but dropped to 104.7 as a result of their thumping from Essendon.
"There was an opportunity there, the door got opened and we didn't walk through it, and that's the most disappointing thing," Gold Coast coach Stuart Dew said.
"We lost connection and for periods of the game it looked like they had one or two extra (players) on the ground the way they opened us up.
"That hasn't happened to us for a long time.
"They played a good style of footy and beat us inside and out ... and that stings because it's not like we delivered our best football here today."
The Bombers' triumph was built on superior intensity around the ball and a hard-running midfield, which set up ample opportunities to kick a winning score.
Zach Merrett (36 disposals), Mason Redman (34) and Dylan Shiel (29) racked up touches and Jake Stringer kicked four goals, while former Suns forward Peter Wright, Harrison Jones, Nic Martin and Sam Draper kicked two goals each.
Cult hero Draper provided the highlight with a running goal-of-the-year contender direct from a centre bounce during the final quarter, shrugging off two opponents as he galloped towards goal.
The ruckman's finish on the outside of his right boot brought the house down.
Rutten hailed Draper's flair and importance to his teammates but it was the Bombers' continued growth as a team that most impressed their coach as they ran out four strong quarters.
"It was a good bit of maturity, continuing to play our way and being strong around the contest," Rutten said.
Gold Coast duo Noah Anderson (24 disposals, seven clearances) and Touk Miller (28 disposals, seven tackles, nine clearances) were in the thick of the action but the Suns had few clear winners.
They were thrashed in contested possession (140-118) and uncontested possession (265-164), and beaten in tackles (53-47).
"If you want a blueprint on how not to play the game it's get beaten in contested, beaten in uncontested and beaten in tackles," Dew said.
"It's not great reading."

IRELAND's nice weather is not quite gone yet with good sunny spells and temperatures of up to 19C expected, according to Met Eireann.
Despite a few odd showers today and tomorrow will be still be sunny but “fresher” than recent days.
The national forecaster says today the southwest will be hit with the most rays.
They said: “Cloudy this morning across Munster and Leinster with the odd light shower.
“Starting out dry elsewhere with good sunny spells, extending countrywide by early afternoon.
“Feeling fresher than recent days in moderate, occasionally fresh northerly breezes.
“Highest temperatures of 12C to 16C Celsius across Ulster and Connacht, and ranging 16C to 19C elsewhere, mildest in the southwest.”
'GOOD SUNNY SPELLS'
Although there was rain in parts of the country last night, it was very little.
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather said: “A cloudy start in the East and South but nice and bright in some Western areas.
“Much fresher today with temps ranging from 12c to 18c.
“Some light showers possible in the East.
“There was very little rainfall overnight with less than 1mm in most areas.”
Tonight temperatures will plummet to lower than we’ve seen in the last week with the mercury only hitting 8C.
The national forecaster said: “Largely dry tonight with clear spells.
“Later on, some showers will arrive into west and northwest counties.
“Rather cool with lowest temperatures of 5C to 8C, in light to moderate northwest breezes.”
Thursday temperatures will stay warm with 17C but more showers.
Met Eireann said: “Thursday will bring a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers, though most areas will be dry in the evening.
“Cooler than average with highest temperatures 12 to 16 or 17 degrees Celsius; mildest and driest in the southeast.
MOST READ IN NEWS
“Northwest breezes will be mostly moderate, occasionally fresh.”
The rest of the week will be much of the same with mild temperatures but patches of rain.
The national forecaster said: “Feeling fresh for the rest of the week with brisk northwest breezes feeding down some showery spells of rain.”


UP to £20m could be invested by two councils to help speed up traffic bottlenecks on the A27.
West Sussex County Council and Chichester District Council have told the government they are willing to consider a contribution of £20m towards bringing about a major improvement scheme for the A27 in Chichester.
Both authorities have written a joint letter to Transport Minister Stephen Hammond.
The letter asks the government to allocate money to develop a Highways Agency scheme which will solve six traffic bottlenecks along the A27 Chichester bypass.
The Chichester scheme, estimated to cost between £71m and £90m, would help stimulate economic growth along the south coast and create 3,000 jobs in Chichester.
Civic leaders say it would make that stretch of the A27 safer and more reliable for local residents and make it easier for businesses to reach customers.
Councillor Louise Goldsmith, leader of West Sussex County Council, said: ‘Addressing the congestion issues along the A27 is absolutely vital for the future of West Sussex’s economy.
‘We hope the Transport Secretary will consider this proposal seriously.’

There’s speculation that we will see an Evolution vs. The Shield War Games match but it probably won’t happen. The idea of bringing back War Games has been brought up many times over the years but Vince McMahon always shoots it down.

I wanted to have numerous outlets, and have enough electrical service that I did not have to worry about overloading circuits. There was already some lighting, so I simply picked off that line and added additional lights to keep things bright and cozy. I ran a 240V line for the table saw and jointer with a dedicated breaker. For wall outlets, I ran 14-3 wire, and split all the plugs, so that I can run one machine on the upper plug, and another on the lower plug of any outlet.
This style of saw will provide more power than a contractor-type saw and have the high-quality rip fence you need to do good work. However, because they are favored by professionals and serious amateurs, cabinet saws are harder to find on the used market. Scour the classifieds and online sales (be sure to check industrial auction sites as well), and do some networking. Check the bulletin board at your hardwood supplier and ask the proprietors if they know of anyone selling a saw. Also call local cabinet shops. They sometimes have a surplus tool sitting idle that they’d be willing to sell. Take your time in this step. A careful investment will pay dividends in the long run, but a well-intentioned compromise can cause long-term frustration.
Each entry must feature some kind of inlay. This can be wood, glass, metal, etc. Epoxy pours are not allowed per /u/kevin0611's request. An epoxy pour does not count as an inlay for the sake of this contest. (Example would be cutting a pattern on CNC or by hand then filling with a colored epoxy to give the illusion that it's inlay.) Bowties, marquetry, and banding are good examples of allowed inlay in this contest.
Impact driver: I am a giant fan of impact drivers. I have been using them for a while now and can’t really remember my life before them (Click here to read more about my introduction to impact drivers). This is the one tool that I always have with me, and I expect to be within easy reach. So much so, that I own three of them and could imagine myself with a couple more. Like the chop saw, if this was a list of on-site or installation tools, the impact driver would be near the top.
How do you divide 11-3/8-in. (or any other mathematically difficult number) into equal parts without dividing fractions? Simple. Angle your tape across the workpiece until it reads an easily-divisible dimension and make your marks with the tape angled. For example, say you want to divide an 11-3/8-in. board into three equal parts. Angle the tape until it reads 12-in., and then make marks at “4” and “8”. Plus: More measuring tips and tricks.
I have a 3 car garage, 1-2 car bay, 1 single bay. I made some simple saddle brackets that hang on the outside of the garage door track (V shaped with the top of the V having a cleat that stabilizes the bracket against the top of the track, stove bolts hold the brackets to the track without interfering with the door). Through the bottom of the brackets are drilled holes to hold 3/4″ EMT metal conduit. This is available in 10 ft lengths which is enough to span the single bay track width. I used cotter pins to hold the conduit in the brackets. Eye bolts that slide over the conduit can then be mounted to a 2 bulb flourescent light fixture and bingo, you have lighting that works with the garage door up or down. I did this for my single bay which is where I have my tablesaw and bench/outfeed table. I centered the light at the tablesaw/outfeed table juncture and it makes for awesome lighting for both surfaces.
Because workshops are rough and tumble places, the right fan for the job will have an industrial-strength motor and adjustable fan speeds. Easy-to-clean metal blades and a fully encased motor housing are also important features, especially if your shop tends to fill up with sawdust, wood chips and other fine debris. That extra layer of protection will help the fan motor last for years instead of being damaged by particulates.
Tape measure: I know this isn’t a power tool, but it is the one tool that you should always have with you. It is a pet peeve of mine – if you are planning on building something, or you are actually building it, have a tape measure with you. If you are in the shop, on the job site, or even at Home Depot make sure you have a tape measure with you or at least one very handy (Home Depot probably isn’t the best example, since they have them widely available, but you get the point). Without a tape measure, not much beyond rough work can get done.
Fir, also known as Douglas Fir, is very inexpensive and common at local home centers. It has a characteristic straight, pronounced grain with a red-brown tint. However, its grain pattern is relatively plain and it does not stain well, so Fir is commonly used when the finished product will be painted. While commonly used for building, this softwood would also be suitable for furniture-making as well.
Minor variances are applications to your municipality to suspend a particular by-law to allow your project to proceed, based on common sense or precedents set by other buildings in your area. If your municipal committee of adjustment denies permission because a neighbour voices concern over the development, you would have to appeal the decision to the municipal board of your particular province. In that case, you may be better off looking for another piece of property with an existing structure that you could renovate, more relaxed zoning regulations, a larger lot, or more congenial neighbours.

Alice has traveled a long and increasingly open road, from New York debutante to doyenne of the Washington homeless. She put in long years as a seamstress in Manhattan's garment district, and for a time, during her barfly years, was profoundly acquainted with a particular stool in a neighborhood pub whose bar was tended by Zonker Harris. On the streets for nearly 15 years, she makes it a point to return to New York's Roseland Ballroom for her annual spin as a taxi dancer. Her innumerable dance partners included a memorable spin with oil biz honcho Jim Andrews. A master of the soft touch, Alice has made panhandling a sophisticated survival skill, peddling subscriptions to the National Review, and developing a monthly contribution program, with membership buttons to identify paid-up donors. Her knowledge of weather and her urban camping techniques are unparalleled. Her husband and grill-mate Elmont is unhinged.
But for all her street savvy Alice has nearly frozen to death several times -- a dramatic photo of her, unconscious, buried in a snowdrift, appeared on the front page of the Washington Post. In the wake of this dual brush with fame and mortality, Alice was befriended by Congresswoman Lacey Davenport, who was gradually succumbing to Alzheimer's and mistook her for her long- dead sister Pearl. In Lacey's will, she left her estate to Alice, whose husband Elmont blew it all day-trading just as they were making the transition to a roofed existence.

The iNuke DSP series is a nice amp for the price. I got a iNuke DSP 3000 and set it up this past weekend for the L / R T12s. I was running a QSC GX-5 for the L / R so I was already running a pro-amp for them. I switched out the amps and then re-ran Audyssey pro kit to balance everything out. After running Audyssey against the system I custom tuned the L / R sound using the iNuke DSP.
Noise - It is about the same as other pro amps.
Noise floor - There is a more pronounced hiss than other amps I have used; QSC, Outlaw, Emotiva. I guess my house's power isn't clean and the iNuke does show this more than others.
Price - Inexpensive for the power and functionality.
DSP - Really nice interface, quick and easy to use with instant feedback.
Weight - Very light which is great for those with bad backs.
Going along the lines of what Jeff said about boosting the mid-bass I put on a +5 gain DEQ boost from 150 Hz on down capping it at 65 with a HPF and the results were jaw dropping for me. I ran just the L / R speakers and at first thought my subs were on when playing music, I had to get up and confirm that the sub amp was off. The change really brought the JTRs to life and they were producing the mid-bass (and some bass) I always wanted.
After getting the JTRs tweaked I boosted the subs to remove the Audyssey neutering and enjoyed some music and watched a couple of movies with a big smile on my face.

I will like to forward many thanks to my dearest wife Snigdha for her constant encouragement. My second thanks will go to my dear little sister-in-law for giving me new ideas and also editing my work. My next acknowledgement goes to my parents for believing in me.
I also take this opportunity to thank my friends who always valued my works be it my poetry, short articles or a story. They also helped me identify my weakness and strengths in my writing.
Last but not the least; I will like to thank the ‘Software Industry’ which inspired me to write this one. It would have been impossible to write this book without being a part it.


text: The increasing platformization of healthcare services in India, in the wake of COVID-19, has resulted in huge demand for home phlebotomy. However, there is a limited understanding of the impact of digitization on home phlebotomists’ workflows. To address this gap, we conducted 26 semi-structured interviews with home phlebotomists, riders, and patients, supplemented by observations of the entire workday of 3 phlebotomists. We found that home phlebotomists’ technology-mediated workflows are organized in ways that enable them to build strong support networks of human infrastructure, helping them negotiate and optimize their daily workflows. Moreover, while digitization of their workflows resulted in continued surveillance, it empowered them to justify their decisions and present evidence of work when needed. Based on our findings, we discuss implications for equitable platform work and future of platformized health, and conclude with design recommendations for telehealth platforms offering home phlebotomy services.

The former First Lady shared a series of tweets to mark the romantic holiday, but neglected to mention her husband Donald Trump in any of them.
Melania shared three photos of herself visiting patients at The Children's Inn at the National Institute of Health.
"On this #ValentinesDay, I think of the brave & inspirational children at @TheChildrensInn @NIH where I visited the past few years," she wrote.
"Sending them love & strength, today & everyday. #HappyValentinesDay."
Melania didn't mention her husband of 15 years, and social media users were quick to pick up on the omission.
"One could read in to this tweet that you ONLY wish the best for CHILDREN and absolutely NOT your HUSBAND," responded one user.
"No time with hubby?" questioned another.
Melania spent her past three Valentine's Days visiting the National Institute of Health, participating in arts and crafts projects with children battling illnesses.
The couple posed next to heart-shaped signs outside the White House, featuring words like "courage" and "compassion", to celebrate the romantic day.
Douglas Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, also wished his wife "happy Valentine's Day, honey".
"We've got big adventures ahead," he captioned a photo of the couple in the White House.
"I couldn't be more excited to be your partner on this journey."
Harris also shared a Valentine's Day post on Instagram, reflecting on the dating rule she broke before the couple went on their first date.
"That time @secondgentleman found out that I had Googled him before our first date," she joked in the caption, wishing Emhoff a "Happy Valentine's Day!"
Former president Barack Obama posted a message to wife Michelle and their two daughters Malia and Sasha on Twitter, praising the women in his life for making "everything brighter."
"Happy Valentine's Day to the three who never fail to make me smile," he captioned a family portrait.
Michelle responded in her own tweet, writing, "Happy Valentine's Day, @barackobama! Life is always brighter when I'm by your side."
As the Trumps settle in their new life at the Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida, speculation over the pair's relationship has been rife.
According to his White House advisor Jason Miller, the former president has felt "happier" since being removed from Twitter.
"That's something the first lady has backed up as well. She has said she loves it, that he's much happier and is enjoying himself much more," Miller told The Sunday Times.
However, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania's former advisor, friend and author of Melania and Me, has previously described the pair's relationship as "transactional".
"I do believe it's a transactional marriage. Donald got arm candy," the author said in a BBC interview.
Melania is said to be enjoying the leisurely pace of her post-White House life, according to CNN.
"She goes to the spa, has lunch, goes to the spa (again) and has dinner with Donald on the patio," a source close to Trumps informed the publication.
"The former first lady has mentally all but left Washington behind, unlike her husband."

Barling directors agree to buy grooming mower
The Barling City Park will be getting a new grooming mower in the future.
The Barling Board of Directors authorized the purchase of the mower during its regular meeting Tuesday. In a memo included in the meeting packet dated Dec. 9, 2016, Barling Public Works Director Steve Core said the original mower was purchased in 2004 and outlasted its lifespan by 12 years.
"The grooming mower is available through the NJPA (National Joint Powers Alliance) contract from Land Pride, and is a 90" cut width where the old mower is a 60" cut width," Core said.
At the meeting, Barling City Administrator Mike Tanner said the original grooming mower "bit the dust," and a new one is needed. The purchase price for the new grooming mower is below $4,800.
In another memo, Tanner said the board of directors asked him to check on funding a disc golf course at the park during its last meeting June 27.
"The parks and recreation fund would not have funds available this year for a course," Tanner said.
In a memo included in the June 27 meeting packet, Tanner said it was brought to his attention that there was still interest in a disc golf course at the city park. Tanner said Tuesday interest was expressed by certain members of the Barling Board of Directors.
"I think it's always been there," Tanner said. "We just tabled it at one point, and I brought it back up. We will need to review that ... when we start our budget study sessions in September. Maybe we can get that in the budget for 2018."
The next regular Barling Board of Directors meeting is scheduled to take place July 25.

Big news is circulating the housing sector as six regulatory agencies recently proposed an eased version of the Qualified Residential Mortgage proposal. This new proposal provides more Americans with access to affordable credit while encouraging a reliable, safe financial system. The regulation aligns with the qualified mortgage rule (QM), which—finalized earlier this year—set standards for safe lending.
The proposal drops an earlier made stipulation that lenders keep a stake in mortgages with down payments of less than 20 percent. This effort will make it easier for creditworthy Americans to secure mortgages, as well as discourage risky loans that have contributed to the credit crisis.
“This version of the QRM rule will give creditworthy buyers access to safe and affordable loan products without overly burdensome downpayment requirements,” said REALTOR® President Gary Thomas in a recent statement.
“The new standards, which align with those applied to Qualified Mortgages, are stringent enough to protect consumers from unscrupulous lending practices while also creating new opportunities for private capital to reestablish itself as part of a robust and competitive mortgage market,” Thomas continued.

One of Edinburgh's most "glamorous" homes is in the running to be crowned Scotland's Home of the Year after scoring full marks from the judges.
The show, now in its third series, featured three special homes in Edinburgh and East Lothian this week as judges Anna Campbell-Jones, Michael Angus and Kate Spiers look to find the next contender for Scotland’s Home of the Year.
Architect Michael, interior designer Anna and lifestyle blogger Kate each give the houses their mark out of ten but can only pick one winner from the Lothian area to go through to the grand final.
This week's selection saw the trio visit a converted fishermans' cottages in East Lothian, a flat with a castle view in Leith and the super stylish Doric House.
While all the homes were full of charm and deserved a spot on the show, one really stood out to the judges - so much so that they all scored it ten out of ten.
The winning home was the Doric House, on Blenheim Place in the city centre, owned by Craig and his husband Nick.
Designed by prominent Scottish architect William Henry Playfair, the stunning home was built in 1824 and wowed the judges with its fusion of old and new.
The couple revealed it was an extensive search to find their dream home in the capital after viewing around 50 properties before falling for Doric House.
"It's old because it's 200 years old but we've been able to bring it into the contemporary", Craig said.
Describing the approach to designing and decorating the home, he added that each room has a different theme with big wallpaper and dark colours carried throughout the house.
The home is laid out over two floors; stairs lead to a lower ground floor bathroom, and the ground floor has the kitchen, drawing room guest room and the master bedroom - which even has a wood burner and cast iron tub.
"You have a very unique piece of Edinburgh New Town here, designed by William Playfair", Michael Angus told his fellow judges when they arrived at the home.
They were all blown away when they walked in by the "posh" entrance hallway and couldn't get enough of the home inside, from its curved walls to chevron floors and bold black walls.
Commending the home's "glamour" and "wit", the judges loved the couple's fun approach while paying homage to its heritage that also paid respect to the interior.
Tallying up the final scores, Doric House got tens all round from the impressed judges.
You can watch Scotland's Home of the Year on BBC Scotland on Wednesday at 8pm.

Nationwide offers more discounts than most other providers, and you’ll likely be eligible for at least one. Discounts are offered for switching from another provider, paying your annual premium upfront, driving safely, not filing any claims in the previous insurance period, and having membership in Nationwide’s Affinity Group. Nationwide is also one of the only providers that will reward you for enrolling in an RV safety course.
Many baby boomers are doing the same: spending their retirement visiting national parks, historic landmarks, and exploring the country. Empty nesters and the 55+ crowd find that RV living offers both freedom and a strong sense of community. Contrary to the popular belief that RVers are constantly on the move, RV and manufactured home parks also serve as seasonal homes, with plenty of things to do to keep an active lifestyle.
Insurance is offered by Safeco Insurance Company of America and/or its affiliates, with their principal place of business at 175 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02116. This website provides a simplified description of coverage. Nothing stated herein creates a contract. All statements made are subject to the provisions, exclusions, conditions and limitations of the applicable insurance policy. Please refer to actual policy forms for complete details regarding the coverage discussed. If the information in these materials conflicts with the policy language that it describes, the policy language prevails. Coverages and features not available in all states. Eligibility is subject to meeting applicable underwriting criteria.
Good customer service is especially essential when you’re in a crisis after an accident or theft. Excellent insurance providers make it easy for you to file a claim online or over the phone. They also offer accessible service 24/7 through a customer helpline or roadside assistance. If a company’s a hassle to deal with when you truly need help, it may make an already difficult situation even more trying.
But liability coverage levels come in threes — you’ll probably see something like 50/100/50 up to 250/500/250 in typical policies. You can think of these limits like: individual injuries / total injuries / property damage. Insurers are a little more technical, calling them bodily injury liability, total bodily injury liability and physical damage liability.
What if my motor home breaks down and I am stranded? A typical auto policy may not pay for housing or extra travel expenses, while you are waiting, or to get you home. A Foremost policy offers outstanding emergency expense coverage. We will pay for temporary housing, travel expenses to get you home. We will even pay to transport your damaged motor home to your home, a repair center, or a storage facility.
Safeco’s also has loan or lease protection that will cover the difference between what’s left on your loan and your RV’s worth in the case of a total loss, and a diminishing deductible in which your deductible is reduced by $100 per year for up to $500. You also can get coverage against damage or theft for some personal belongings, electronic lock-and-key replacement, and pet coverage in case your dog is injured or dies in a collision.
Most of our top picks offer a slew of discounts, so be sure to check out each company’s available options. Typically, you’ll save money if you’re able to bundle your auto and RV insurance together. Some providers also offer discounts for having a membership to an RV club or completing RV training/safety courses. Additionally, many insurers consider you less of a risk if your RV is equipped with updated safety features like air bags, anti-lock brakes, and anti-theft devices. And remember: The fewer traffic violations you have, the lower your premium will be.
In July 2007, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released a report presenting the results of a study concerning credit-based insurance scores in automobile insurance. The study found that these scores are effective predictors of risk. It also showed that African-Americans and Hispanics are substantially overrepresented in the lowest credit scores, and substantially underrepresented in the highest, while Caucasians and Asians are more evenly spread across the scores. The credit scores were also found to predict risk within each of the ethnic groups, leading the FTC to conclude that the scoring models are not solely proxies for redlining. The FTC indicated little data was available to evaluate benefit of insurance scores to consumers. The report was disputed by representatives of the Consumer Federation of America, the National Fair Housing Alliance, the National Consumer Law Center, and the Center for Economic Justice, for relying on data provided by the insurance industry.
What if there is a theft in my motor home, such as jewelry, DVD player, or clothing? Typically they are not going to cover these personal belongings. Homeowners policies typically place strict limits on off-premises coverage and require a sizable deductible to be paid first. Foremost provides optional comprehensive coverage for personal belongings and in most cases don't require a deductible. This way you can take your valuables with you on the road and be covered.
State legislators set limits on how much a company can increase your rates after a crash. Our hypothetical accident resulted in only $2,000 worth of damage. That caused average annual rates to spike by $1,000 or more in some states, while others jumped by far less. One thing’s for sure: Your rates will definitely increase after an at-fault accident, so be sure to compare car insurance rates if you have one on record.
Crop insurance may be purchased by farmers to reduce or manage various risks associated with growing crops. Such risks include crop loss or damage caused by weather, hail, drought, frost damage, insects, or disease. Index-based insurance uses models of how climate extremes affect crop production to define certain climate triggers that if surpassed have high probabilities of causing substantial crop loss. When harvest losses occur associated with exceeding the climate trigger threshold, the index-insured farmer is entitled to a compensation payment.
Bus-home conversions are a rapidly-growing trend that several RV insurance companies are adapting into their policies. The type of bus, however, is a prominent deciding factor in coverage, since bus axles differ from traditional RVs and aren’t built to carry a certain amount of weight. Many RV insurance companies avoid school bus-converted homes, as they have a higher risk of rollover accidents. Also, your bus-converted home must be registered as a recreational vehicle for personal use to be eligible for RV-insurance. Depending on the state where you register your vehicle, it may require your bus to comply with several requirements and meet certain standards before registration. It’s important that you check with your local department of motor vehicles beforehand.
How much you’ll pay will depend on factors like how much you use your RV, how much coverage you want, your driving record, and your age. You may qualify for one of their discounts. For example, you can get a discount if you pay in full, if you have completed a defensive driving course, have OnStar, have low mileage, are a member of an affinity organization that provides a discount, or have multiple vehicles insured with National General.
Still, regardless of whether your state requires you to have an RV insurance policy, it’s always best to have one if you plan on living in your RV full-time to protect yourself and your vehicle against any damages and covered losses. On the other hand, if you plan on using your RV seasonally or for short trips, then liability coverage might be enough.
By law, any type of registered vehicle must be insured. Motorhomes, like cars, are required to at least have liability insurance. Travel trailers and other towable RVs, on the other hand, cannot be driven and therefore aren’t required to have insurance. Keep in mind that towable RVs, although not vehicles, are still susceptible to theft, damage from natural disasters, vandalism, and collision, so it is highly recommended for them to still have coverage.
Farmers offers coverage for travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers in addition to RVs, as well as a special program for customers who use them as part- or full-time residences. The Stationary Travel Trailer Program offers comprehensive, liability, and medical payments coverage for customers who reside in their trailer seasonally or permanently. All of Farmers’ optional coverage options for RVs also apply for trailers. What’s more, if your trailer is towable, Farmers will insure your tow vehicle.
Insurance can influence the probability of losses through moral hazard, insurance fraud, and preventive steps by the insurance company. Insurance scholars have typically used moral hazard to refer to the increased loss due to unintentional carelessness and insurance fraud to refer to increased risk due to intentional carelessness or indifference. Insurers attempt to address carelessness through inspections, policy provisions requiring certain types of maintenance, and possible discounts for loss mitigation efforts. While in theory insurers could encourage investment in loss reduction, some commentators have argued that in practice insurers had historically not aggressively pursued loss control measures—particularly to prevent disaster losses such as hurricanes—because of concerns over rate reductions and legal battles. However, since about 1996 insurers have begun to take a more active role in loss mitigation, such as through building codes.
Advanced economies account for the bulk of global insurance. With premium income of $1.62 trillion, Europe was the most important region in 2010, followed by North America $1.409 trillion and Asia $1.161 trillion. Europe has however seen a decline in premium income during the year in contrast to the growth seen in North America and Asia. The top four countries generated more than a half of premiums. The United States and Japan alone accounted for 40% of world insurance, much higher than their 7% share of the global population. Emerging economies accounted for over 85% of the world's population but only around 15% of premiums. Their markets are however growing at a quicker pace. The country expected to have the biggest impact on the insurance share distribution across the world is China. According to Sam Radwan of ENHANCE International LLC, low premium penetration (insurance premium as a % of GDP), an ageing population and the largest car market in terms of new sales, premium growth has averaged 15–20% in the past five years, and China is expected to be the largest insurance market in the next decade or two.

Builder's risk insurance insures against the risk of physical loss or damage to property during construction. Builder's risk insurance is typically written on an "all risk" basis covering damage arising from any cause (including the negligence of the insured) not otherwise expressly excluded. Builder's risk insurance is coverage that protects a person's or organization's insurable interest in materials, fixtures or equipment being used in the construction or renovation of a building or structure should those items sustain physical loss or damage from an insured peril.
Pollution insurance usually takes the form of first-party coverage for contamination of insured property either by external or on-site sources. Coverage is also afforded for liability to third parties arising from contamination of air, water, or land due to the sudden and accidental release of hazardous materials from the insured site. The policy usually covers the costs of cleanup and may include coverage for releases from underground storage tanks. Intentional acts are specifically excluded.
If the open road is calling you and a recreational vehicle, or RV, is the way you want to go, it may be smart to hitch on some RV insurance. While some owners opt to cover their RV with an endorsement on their auto insurance policy, insurance companies including Progressive, Nationwide, Geico and GMAC offer specialized RV insurance that resembles a combination of car insurance, home or renters insurance, and travel insurance rolled into one policy.
In the United States, the underwriting loss of property and casualty insurance companies was $142.3 billion in the five years ending 2003. But overall profit for the same period was $68.4 billion, as the result of float. Some insurance industry insiders, most notably Hank Greenberg, do not believe that it is forever possible to sustain a profit from float without an underwriting profit as well, but this opinion is not universally held. Reliance on float for profit has led some industry experts to call insurance companies "investment companies that raise the money for their investments by selling insurance."
A recreational vehicle is basically a home on wheels. As such, in addition to standard vehicle liability and collision insurance many owners choose to have comprehensive coverage -- for theft of personal items or replacement if the RV is destroyed by a fire not related to a vehicle accident. Specialized "full-timer" RV insurance is a blend of auto and homeowner's insurance coverage. Premiums vary significantly based on the value of the RV, how it's used (vacations or full time), the value of its contents, location and the owner's driving record.
Class C motorhomes are the classic mid-sized motorized RV, typically with a sleeping area extending above the cab area. Premiums vary based on state of residence and the size, age and market value of the motorhome, plus frequency of use. An Idaho buyer looking at a supersized Class C motorhome valued at $120,000 was quoted $3,097 a year; some owners report similar rates, but others are paying $800-$1,000 a year.
The Good Sam Insurance Agency replaces any RV that is totaled or stolen in its first five model years with a new, comparable RV model. This stands even if the customer is not the original owner of the vehicle. After the first five model years, customers receive the full original purchase price toward the purchase of a replacement RV. This Full Replacement Cost Coverage option protects customer RVs from depreciation, potentially saving them thousands of dollars.
