Former President of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Michel Platini was detained earlier in the day only to be questioned as a witness and this was not an arrest, his spokesman Jean-Christophe Alquier told.
Axar.az reports citing TASS.
According to numerous media reports, Platini was placed in custody on Tuesday as part of an investigation into alleged corruption during the bidding process to host the 2022 World Cup.
Alquier said Platini’s lawyer William Bourdon stressed that it was not an arrest in any possible way and the former head of the UEFA is questioned only as a witness.
Alquier also said that Platini is composed, answering all questions, including about the election of the host country of the 2016 UEFA Euro Cup.

Scars, Keloids and Stretch Marks
Equipped with state-of-the-art lasers like Fractional CO2, Lumenis M22 to treat skin conditions such as scars, keloids and stretch marks
Scars are marks of injury and once formed will always be there. It is important to understand there are good looking scars and there are bad looking scars. Scar revision Surgery, lasers, topical creams play a very important role in improving the looks and quality of the scars.
Scars mature over time and some scars like acid burns may take several years to improve. It is vital to be patient and not to hurry into procedures. A wait of six to twelve months can dramatically improve scars.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), fractional CO2 laser, Erbium laser treatments can produce dramatic improvement in scars. Generally three to four treatments will be required at three week interval. It is an outpatient, quick and easy procedure, commonly performed under topical or local anaesthesia.
Sun protection is important, dressings are usually not required. The healing is very quick and sometimes there will be no external wound. Burns contractures can be released without skin grafting.
Ultra Pulse CO2 and M22 Erbium Resurfax are very potent tools in treating scars and their sequela.
These are unsightly scars which have the capacity to spread into surrounding normal tissues. Most people are born with tendencies to develop keloids. In these, any small or big wound can become a keloid. The common areas are chest, shoulders, joints, ears or sites of injury or piercing. Keloid treatment is cumbersome and chances of recurrence are high.
Silicon & Gels/Cream: Silicon gel sheets and silicon based gels along with topical steroid creams helps in softening the keloid. They also help with colour changes are betterment of keloid. These can be used to suppress the recurrence as well. Adhesive tapes are the most useful.
Injections: Triamcinolone acetonide and 5FU are the commonly used injections into keloid sites to reduce its thickness and limit its spread. They have to be used very carefully as they may have their side effect profiles in the long run. Multiple such injections might be needed depending on the extent of your keloid. These can be painful and thus can be used under topical Emla or Local Anaesthesia with Lignocaine. Please speak to your skin care provider if you are a candidate to take these.
Lasers: Fractional CO2 and Pulse dye laser have shown some help. Small localised keloids can be very carefully removed with intralesional CO2 laser excision. It is a meticulous job and the risk of developing keloid in lasered areas cannot be neglected.

Stretch Marks Treatment
The skin consists of three layers – the outer layer (epidermis), the middle layer (dermis) and the deepest layer (subcutaneous). Stretch marks entail stretching of the middle layer of the skin. Stretch marks can also be due to absence of collagen fibre. Typically, stretch marks are found in the abdominal wall as they store the excess fat first, but can occur over other parts like arms and thighs. Even an attempt to gain muscle can result in stretch marks. A sudden weight gain and loss, hormonal changes are the cause of these atrophic skin problems. The newly formed stretch marks called “stria rubra” look reddish. Over time they become white “stria alba”.
Stria or stretch marks are commonly seen in women and men in younger age groups and especially during pregnancy.
Stretch marks gradually fade over years but can be disturbing cosmetically if too many in numbers. Topical retinoid acids, glycolic acids were tried with no great results. With the advent of newer laser technology there is a hope for treatment.
The doctors at our clinic (Pune) use lasers to get rid of or reduce stretch marks using speciality lasers. One such laser for treating stretch marks is the Er-YAG ResurFx on the new Lumenis M22 platform. About 4 sessions at monthly intervals can help the stretch marks look less obvious. It helps in collagen rebuilding and thus improves the skin texture and appearance.

When I start making patterns for the costumes, I usually don't have any idea of the trims that may be used or the button size that may be chosen but those things make a huge difference in the final pattern and in the making up process of the costume.
With our footmen costumes, the shape of the wide trim and the placement of the trims dictated the amount of button stand and the spacing of the buttons as well as the construction technique to a degree.
I first fit the waistcoat by pinning it together along the CF line so I have a true line to go by once the trim is decided.
After the designer pins the trim in place, I have to work everything out for the stitchers.
(I also need to make sure that there is adequate support behind the trim so if I haven't cut enough support at the beginning I have to add more later. Luckily I had cut it in the first place.)
So I need a map of sorts.
I made a small sample of the front, and went to the buttonhole machine to put in some holes so I could determine the smallest hole size I could use. I wanted the wide trim to cover the tail end of the buttonholes, and I also wanted the button spacing to work out so that there was a buttonhole at every curve of the wide trim.
I needed to allow just enough space in front of the buttonhole to accomodate the narrow trim.
Once I had all of that figured out, I could mark the garment properly for sewing.
Armed with the map, the seamstress did a preliminary lay-out of the trim, so we could make sure it worked for button placement and also to figure out how the best way and place to turn the corner with the trim as it travels around the skirt and neckline of the waistcoat. This preliminary work allows us to sew most of the trim on by machine which is usually the most efficient way of applying it.
The right front is not a problem in that the trim could go on by machine before the facing and lining were installed. The difficulty with trims and functional buttonholes is that the buttonhole machine does not take kindly to trim, so we had to be clever and put the trim on around the skirt of the waistcoat by machine and then stop just below the bottom buttonhole. The buttonholes have to go through the facing, so the facing was put on and basted to the inside, then I put in the buttonholes. After that, the trim was basted in place, covering the buttonhole ends and then handsewn to the fronts. The facing and lining seam was then joined by machine and the waistcoat front was finished as usual.
It is interesting how many details need to be thought out in order to finish a garment. More than most people would realize, don't you think?

Package design for new product
- Durum: Closed
- Ödül: €90
- Alınan Girdiler: 3
- Kazanan: souhailmhamdi
I need a package design for my new product. Product is used for back support to correct body posture. The product name is TwinnyTube™ FIT.
On the package must be product name and short description (or subtitle) "revolutionary magnetic back support". I do not have package dimensions yet, because I would like to focus into design first. In attachement i am sending you an idea of the package - the package will be closed from all sides, without window or so. I am sendng you also product photo, color combination and brand logo.
*** UPDATE ***
I need the design for whole package/box (6 sides), with dimensions 25x15x5 cm. I add another sample of random box, to get even better idea, what I mean.
Thank you all in advance for your effort and ideas.
Tavsiye Edilen Beceriler
“souhailmhamdi did amazing design, but he provided me psd file with only one layer and 72 dpi?! I think every designer should know that minimum is at least 300 dpi. The file is useless, so I have to find someone to fix it. I wanted to open a dispute, but i made a mistake and clicked wrong button. Shit happens. ”

Our 3D model allows users to preserve the "good" features of the room, while correcting the bad. ERGO also doesn't color the sound or produce an artificial anechoic environment. Normally, ERGO corrects for your monitoring position. This gives you perfectly corrected sound while mixing. In Global mode, the correct spot is widened so that others (products, musicians, groupies) can enjoy your mix in a corrected environment.
Headphone Volume (side panel)
Adjusts the output level of the headphone jack. The headphones have their own independent audio stream, or can mirror the A stream.
Calibration Switch (back panel)
This enables the room calibration microphone and places ERGO into analysis mode.
Features & Benefits:Hear the difference
ERGO's high-end sound quality makes it perfect for the discriminating audio professional, while the affordable price puts it within reach of the typical recording hobbyist. Every studio needs an ERGO, because even the most accurate monitor in an imperfect room isn't going to solve mixing problems, but ERGO will. ERGO also makes your mix translate from the studio to different environments. How good is a great rack that only sounds great in your room? With ERGO, your mix sounds great everywhere you, or your fans want to hear it. Want better sound, and in more places? Put ERGO in the mix.
ERGO is a digital room analysis/correction system and consists of the ERGO unit, a microphone, and control software. These three pieces are used to measure and analyze phase/frequence problems within a listening environment.
Smarter than your average gear
Room correction products aren’t new, but thank goodness ERGO is. While conventional room correction systems utilize simple analysis and limited bands of EQ (often fewer than 8), ERGO uses multiple measurements and proprietary algorithms to create a 3D image of the room, and then applies 1024 dynamic filters to control the audio environment. Our 3D model allows users to preserve the “good” characteristics of the room, while correcting the bad... ERGO doesn’t color the sound or produce an artificially sterile environment. ERGO produces the best mix for a given room; a mix that will translate better to other listening environments, since it was mixed in a “perfect” room.
Room perfect technology
The sophisticated room analysis and correction system within ERGO, called “RoomPerfect” was developed by Lyngdorf Audio in Denmark aftTer many years of R&D work. The patented algorithm in the system compares many measurements and corrects for phase and frequency problems using thousands of filters, not just a few. The result is the most accurate mix. ERGO, analyze this!
Lyngdorf Audio utilizes some of the best audio engineers in the world to develop superior technology. Lyngdorf Audio is the indus

I am a co-investigator on the GUSTT project. Program slicing simplifies systems by focusing upon a subcomponent of the overall system behaviour. Program transformation allows programs to be manipulated syntactically without affecting their behaviour. Both technologies have been applied successfully (but separately) to problems in software engineering. However, slicing often produces rather large slices (because of the high level of interdependence between program subcomponents) and effective transformation strategies have proved hard to define (because of the sheer size of the `applicable transformation space').
GUSTT aims to overcome these difficulties by combining slicing with transformation to achieve practical algorithms for amorphous slicing. We also investigate the theory and applications of amorphous slicing to comprehension, reuse, testing and debugging.


During Monday’s (Feb. 25) Burlington City Council meeting, I brought forward a resolution in response to the Regional Government Review being undertaken by the provincial government. I am very happy to say it passed unanimously.
In January of this year, the Province announced its plans to review Ontario’s eight regional municipalities by two appointed special advisers. These advisers are evaluating governance, decision-making and service delivery.
At a February meeting with Interim City Manager Tim Commisso and special advisers Michael Fenn and Ken Seiling, we learned of Mr. Fenn and Mr. Seiling’s report preparation process and they shared with us they have not been directed toward a particular outcome. The report will evolve as they conduct interviews and gather information. They were very clear that they are only providing advice through Provincial Cabinet, albeit they may make some recommendations.
Within the scope of this review is the possibility of recommending a move to single-tier municipalities or amalgamation of existing municipalities.
The resolution I brought forward recommended Council endorse the current two-tier municipal government model in Halton has been and continues to be effective and it has evolved from a mutual agreement with the Region and its lower-tier municipalities since its inception in 1974.
As well, it states that Burlington residents value the distinct identity of their community and do not wish to have their democratic voice diluted within a larger and less-directly accountable municipal governance structure.
Below is the full draft resolution on the Regional Government Review that was passed on Monday.
Whereas, the Government of Ontario has announced a review of Ontario’s eight regional municipalities (Durham, Halton, Muskoka District, Niagara, Oxford County, Peel, Waterloo, York), the County of Simcoe, and their lower-tier municipalities by appointed Special Advisors; and
Whereas, the provincially appointed Special Advisors are to provide advice and develop recommendations for the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for the purpose of improving governance, decision-making and service delivery in the eight regions and Simcoe County and their lower-tier municipalities; and
Whereas, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario informed its members last August, that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing began informal discussions on regional governance
review, wishing to hear from municipalities about how this system of governance is working recognizing it was established in the 1970s; and
Whereas, the provincially appointed Special Advisors have included within the scope of their review, consideration of moving to single-tier municipalities or amalgamating existing municipalities; and
Whereas, neither Halton Region, nor the four area municipalities have requested a review of the current regional governance structure; and
Whereas, the City of Burlington, Halton Region and the other Halton area municipalities would receive greater benefit from a review of provincial permitting/approvals and municipal government powers and authority under the Municipal Act; and
Whereas, the regional government review including new single tier municipalities or amalgamations was not ever discussed during the recent provincial election by the Premier or our local Members of Provincial Parliament; and
Whereas, the City of Burlington is well managed and efficient with the smallest Council in Halton and for a city of its size, with only seven elected members; and
Whereas, 97 per cent of Burlington residents are satisfied with the quality of Regional services; and
Whereas, the City of Burlington has contributed to Halton Region’s AAA credit rating; and
Whereas, Halton is a model of municipal efficiency through service agreements between the area municipalities and the Region, including for example the City of Burlington’s operation of
Halton Court Services on behalf of the four area municipalities, the operation of the Fire Communications on behalf of Town of Oakville and the Town of Halton Hills, and the Halton Cooperative Purchasing groups; and
Whereas, the City of Burlington welcomes all opportunities to improve municipal service delivery and achieve greater efficiencies and cost savings for all Burlington and Halton taxpayers and rate payers, now
Therefore, be it resolved,
That the Council of the City of Burlington endorses the current effectiveness of our two-tier municipal government as it has evolved based on mutual agreement with the Region of Halton and our partner Halton lower-tier municipalities since its inception in 1974;
That the residents of the City of Burlington value the distinct identity of their community and do not wish to have their democratic voice diluted, within a larger and less directly accountable
municipal governance structure; and
That this resolution be forwarded to all Halton municipalities, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and made publicly available.
We’re very happy to look for efficiencies within our government system, but amalgamating our municipalities into a City of Halton is a non-starter. With Council being once again unanimous in its stance and passing of this resolution, it sends a strong message as to where Burlington is on this matter.

5–and provide books and instructional materials, including classroom technology.
When the school board shortened every Wednesday to a half day (increasing the number of early dismissal days from 14 to 37), three of the Measure B promises were broken. The new 4½-day school week is inconsistent with:
1–Protecting the outstanding core academic programs in reading, writing, math and science;
2–supporting hands-on science classes;
3–and protecting the number of instructional days.
The school board has deprived our students of the education that was promised and betrayed the trust of the voters.
Restore the school week to five full days
I’m a senior citizen, but my friends and family assure me that I still have my sanity. With that established, I must say that the Saratoga elementary school district’s plan for a “minimum day” every Wednesday is insane. What were the leaders of our school district thinking when they created this plan? They say it’s providing more time for staff’s “professional development.” That’s totally out of [sync] with today’s reality.
We live in a lovely valley which is an economic miracle and the envy of the world. It was not created by people who left work early every Wednesday. It was brought about by people who worked long days, enhancing their knowledge by attending classes at night or on weekends and studying on their own time. Our valley business leaders tell us that there is still a shortage of personnel with the required education. We see this in their continuing need for workers’ visas.
So here we are. Saratoga’s elementary school district’s contribution to the future growth and success of Silicon Valley is to reduce the hours our children spend in an educational environment and to give the staff more free time. As a taxpayer, parent and grandparent, I believe my description of the plan is appropriate. Let reason prevail and restore five full days of education per week.

POE, LACSON TO MAKE LAST-DITCH ATTEMPT AT UNITY MEET TODAY
MANILA, April 26, 2004 (STAR) By Paolo Romero - Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (KNP) standard-bearer Fernando Poe Jr. and independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo Lacson are expected to make a last-ditch attempt to meet today to forge a united opposition against President Arroyo.
Except for "commercial tapings," KNP officials said Poe has no pending appointments in the morning.
In the official KNP schedule, Poe will later hold a motorcade from Las Piñas, Muntinlupa and Parañaque cities at around 2 p.m. capped by a grand rally in Taguig and Pateros.
This leaves room for a possible one-on-one meeting between the actor and Lacson to finally consolidate their forces and unify the opposition ranks.
Reports of a possible meeting between the two opposition presidential candidates were further bolstered by the statement made by Lacson over the weekend that he is available to meet Poe today.
Poe on Saturday, however, refused to make a commitment to Lacson stressing he has yet to finalize his schedule.
Poe’ campaign manager and KNP executive committee member Makati City Rep. Jejomar Binay also refused to make a commitment.
"If it happens, then it happens," Binay said. "Don’t worry, we’ll tell you," he later told reporters.
Sources in the KNP executive committee disclosed Poe is in the position to push through with the unification talks with Lacson.
Sources said if the talks push through, it would be a "welcome bonus, but if it doesn’t, then it wouldn’t matter."
"If we are going to wait for them (Lacson’s camp) the assumption is we will be putting on hold some things in our campaign, which we would not do in the first place," the source said.
Other KNP sources admitted the chances of having a united opposition are getting bleaker by the day with two weeks left before election day.
The same sources pinned the blame on Lacson whom they said was intentionally sabotaging unity talks for still unknown reasons.
They noted Lacson and his key adviser and spokesman Lito Banayo have been issuing statements that tend to scuttle any efforts for unification.
"We have come to a point that we were asking in our meetings that does Ping really want a unification?" a ranking KNP leader asked.
"Or even maybe this could be a plot by FVR (former President Fidel Ramos) or the administration to divide us since this (did) not originate from us or from Senator Lacson’s side," the source said.
The same KNP official noted that Lacson even set the condition that Poe’s personal campaign manager Sen. Vicente Sotto III and Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino chairman Sen. Edgardo Angara be out of the picture before any unity talks could proceed.
"If he (Lacson) was really serious in uniting the opposition, why did he make public his demands?" the KNP official asked.
Another KNP official said they are not "banking too much" on the unity talks so as not to be too disappointed if the talks fail.
The source said the KNP is much more confident that Poe can go it alone and beat the administration in the May 10 polls.
The same KNP official said they are "confused" by Lacson’s true intentions in pursuing unity talks with Poe.
"To make an analogy, he (Lacson) is selling something at a very exorbitant price which makes you wonder whether he really wants to make the sale," the source said.
Poe’s spokesman, Sorsogon Rep. Francis Escudero, however, said it is never too late for the opposition to unite.
"With media, the news will be known all over the country in minutes and still achieve its desired effect," Escudero said.
The two sides have tried to forge a merger since January with the aim of presenting a single opposition presidential candidate and avoid splitting the anti-Arroyo vote.
But the talks failed after Lacson and Poe refused to back down from their presidential bids although both agreed to submit themselves to a selection process.
Poe and Lacson are under pressure to unify their campaigns and make a stronger challenge to Mrs. Arroyo, who now has a strong lead for the first time over Poe in the run-up to the election, based on the latest survey of respected pollster Social Weather Stations (SWS).
A unified opposition would have better chances of winning the presidential elections if Lacson withdraws from the race, according to the same survey.

Heads of 100 of the world's biggest companies will today call on political leaders to agree huge cuts in greenhouse gases to stimulate a "green industrial revolution".
The statement organised by the World Economic Forum calls for "at least" a halving of global emissions of the greenhouse gases blamed for climate change, intensifying pressure on the heads of the world's largest G8 economies, who meet in Japan next month.
The chairmen and chief executives, whose companies represent more than 10% of global stockmarkets, indicate that emissions reductions by richer countries will have to be much deeper than 50%, but insist that big developing nations, particularly China and India, also have to tackle pollution. So far the G8 has only said it would "seriously consider" a 50% cut.
"Climate change is not only a challenge, it is also an opportunity," says the statement. "A paradigm shift to a low-carbon economy by 2050 has the potential to drive forward the next chapter of technological innovation. It will require a third - this time a green - industrial revolution."
The statement calls for "strong leadership" and even higher targets from the G8 leaders. It also calls for an interim target, but does not say what that should be. "Fifty per cent is an average internationally and the G8 will have to show strong leadership and push for more," said Dominic Waughray, the Forum's director, head of environmental initiatives.

Out of the lights and roar of cities,
Drifting down like a spark in Spoon River,
Burnt out with the fire of drink, and broken,
The paramour of a woman I took in self-contempt,
But to hide a wounded pride as well.
To be judged and loathed by a village of little minds —
I, gifted with tongues and wisdom,
Sunk here to the dust of the justice court,
A picker of rags in the rubbage of spites and wrongs, —
I, whom fortune smiled on! I in a village,
Spouting to gaping yokels pages of verse,
Out of the lore of golden years,
Or raising a laugh with a flash of filthy wit
When they bought the drinks to kindle my dying mind.
To be judged by you,
The soul of me hidden from you,
With its wound gangrened
By love for a wife who made the wound,
With her cold white bosom, treasonous, pure and hard,
Relentless to the last, when the touch of her hand,
At any time, might have cured me of the typhus,
Caught in the jungle of life where many are lost.
And only to think that my soul could not react,
Like Byron’s did, in song, in something noble,
But turned on itself like a tortured snake —
Judge me this way, O world!

The state was a veritable madhouse while Central Congress(I) leaders made a futile bid to bring in an element of rationality. Says a party leader: "The august offices of the speaker and governor have collapsed making a tamasha of everything."
Singh said it was difficult to work with Azad while the chief minister complained that with Singh and (ha in their positions he could not function. When the party high command suggested, that Singh opt for a transfer to another state, Singh dug in his heels. Jha did likewise when it was indicated that he step down. And Mishra, while affirming his loyalty to party president Rajiv Gandhi, sent a subtle message that he would float a regional party if any attempt was made to silence him to please Azad.
The Azad Government, meanwhile, is preparing to convene the Assembly to fulfil constitutional obligations. According to rules the Assembly must meet at least once in six months. But Azad fears that with Jha in the chair the session will not be smooth. During the last session Jha gave vent to his anger against Azad by allowing members from all sides to grill the Government.
Whenever Azad tried to defend himself he was cut short on the pretext that there wasn't sufficient time. But the most humiliating blow came towards the fag end of the session. Jha declared that Azad was not leader of the House as he was a member of the legislative council and not of the Assembly. Though Jha said he meant no ill-will. Azad, who was not convinced, complained to the high command about the "unconstitutional and deliberate actions" of the speaker.
Azad (left) with Govind Narain Singh: head-on collisionThe tension between Governor Singh and Chief Minister Azad came to a head when the governor appointed vice-chancellors to all seven universities without consulting the state Government.
According to Azad's supporters, during the session the speaker's chamber had been converted into a 'rumour chamber', producing gossip against the Government. As the chief minister gnashed his teeth, the speaker went ahead ruthlessly with his campaign to run him down. Jha held a press conference accusing the chief minister's relatives of plotting to get him killed. Azad countered the charge by providing suffocating security for the speaker. Then Jha reconstituted various assembly committees but did not appoint any of Azad's supporters as chairmen. Newspapers reported that Azad was so provoked that he threatened Jha with physical harm. Jha also told Central leaders that Azad had received psychiatric treatment earlier.
What shocked state and Central party leaders was the speaker's action in connection with the dispute over the Tundi Assembly seat. The Ranchi bench of the Patna High Court had unseated BJP leader Satya Narain Dudhani and declared Congress(I) candidate Uday Kumar Singh elected. The next day the court stayed its order and allowed a petition for review of the judgement by the Supreme Court. But Singh was sworn in as member of the House by Jha who did not wait for the Election Commission's notification. Though Jha justified his hasty action, observers say the move was prompted by the fact that Singh belonged to the anti-Azad group.
Last fortnight |ha was 'summoned' to New Delhi to discuss the row. Lok Sabha Speaker Balram Jakhar did not approve of his action in derecognising Azad as leader of the Assembly. Jha, however, declined to step down, making it clear that he would do so only after Azad was out of office.
Governor Singh collided head-on with Azad right at the beginning of his tenure. He sacked the Raj Bhavan staff on 'theft' charges and expressed his anguish over a senior IAS officer proceeding on leave to escape humiliation. Before Azad could work out his relationship with the governor, matters reached a head. When Singh asked the Government to allot the guest-house adjacent to Raj Bhavan for the office of the chancellor of universities. Azad turned down the demand. Then came the dispute over the state-owned motor launch provided to the governor for a cruise along the Ganga during the Chbatta festival. Singh complained that he had been given a third-rate launch while Azad himself had got one of superior quality. He refused to talk to the chief minister and rushed to New Delhi to demand his ouster. When the high command, following complaints from Azad, offered a transfer to some other state, Singh turned it down. "I am prepared to do anything for the prime minister but this is not acceptable to me." he said.
To Azad's further mortification, the governor tried to block the ordinance to restructure the co-operative set-up. Azad felt Singh's attempt was at the behest of the co-operative mafia which had taken a vow to get him removed. The governor also appointed K.B.N. Singh, former chief justice of the Patna and Madras High Court, as his advisor, bypassing the state Government.
In a letter to the prime minister last month, Singh wrote that arguing with Azad was comparable to a wrestling bout. Azad, he complained, lacked understanding of the law and the Constitution.
In a move that shocked Azad and the teaching community, Singh, in his capacity as chancellor, appointed vice-chancellors for all seven universities without consulting the Government. Four months ago, the Government had sacked all vice-chancellors. This, according to Singh, had led to a further deterioration of the situation on the campus. Singh says that during consultations Azad had not agreed to appoint vice-chancellors, so he got the list cleared by the Prime Minister's Office, He not only gave weightage to Jagannath Mishra's nominees but also brought in his Ph.D. guide Dr R.K. Awasthi to Patna University. Raj Bhavan also released a five-page press note asserting that the chancellor was not bound to act on the advice of the council of ministers. He was not a creature of the Constitution, it added.
Shiv Chandra Jha: controversial role
Mishra: controversial roleAzad is being attacked on all fronts. While Speaker Jha has refused to resign, former chief minister Jagannath Mishra threatens to float a new regional party if the high command attempts to please Azad at his cost.
Soon after Azad's appointment, the high command had got a commitment from Mishra that he would co-operate with the chief minister. Mishra was given a Rajya Sabha seat. At a rally soon after. Azad, Mishra and Tariq Anwar, who was sent to the state as PCC(I) chief, pledged that they would work unitedly to change the face of the state. But the mercurial Mishra soon withdrew his support. Anwar also resigned from the vice-chairmanship of the 20-point programme committee and told the high command that it was a tough job to pull along with Azad. According to him, Azad always obstructed the selection of office-bearers to the PCC(I) with the result-that the party organisation remained paralysed.
While the confused Central leaders could do little to improve the situation. Anwar appointed 'observers' in place of office-bearers to revive the party. Said he: "Even without the PCC(I) the party is functioning well now."
Most party leaders, however, feel there is a hidden hand behind the infighting - that of AICC(I) Treasurer Sita ram Kesari. According to them, he is known for his anti-Anwar, anti-Mishra activities. Says Kamalnath Singh Thakur. MLC: "The party and the Government would have functioned smoothly had Kesari not sabotaged the relationship among the three: Azad, Mishra and Anwar."
Azad is in fact a loner now. He has made many enemies because of his attempts to discipline party workers and legislators and introduce a new work culture. Today he is surrounded by a handful of discredited legislators and those belonging to what is widely known as the 'Jehanabad lobby'. Yet Azad claims to be unruffled. Says he: "I am not bothered by dissident activities. I am more concerned about the task I have been assigned to do."
The attack on Azad from all fronts has not only led to the collapse of the administration but has also undermined his authority. His government has neither support from the party nor the money to implement schemes (the Centre has ignored his appeals for funds). At the same time the street dance by the four leaders goes on. reaching at times a frenzied pitch while the Central leaders look on helplessly.

AN EXTRA £3.2m is being pumped into the continued transformation of Newbridge and Bargoed, it has been announced today.
Finance minister Jane Hutt made the announcement while on a visit to Newbridge to see improvements already made with backing from Welsh government and European Union funds.
It comes as part of Caerphilly council’s wider regeneration plans for the area, building on previous regeneration phases which included the development of Calzaghe Bridge as well as the renovation of the Newbridge Memorial Hall and Institute.
The £3m pedestrian footbridge was the first structure in the county borough to be named after living people and honoured the achievements of boxing legend Joe Calzaghe and his father and trainer Enzo.
This additional funding, which comes from the EU, will allow further physical improvements to get under way, and regeneration of derelict land for economic and community use.
In Bargoed, the funding will support the development of a new site for business as well as an urban, green park. A commercial improvement funding scheme will be available for local businesses in both towns to enhance the frontages of their premises.
The minister said: “The funding will help build on progress already made in creating an attractive environment to ensure the success of both towns. It will also boost private sector investment and contribute towards the long term economic prosperity.”

Study of symptoms of anxiety and depression and quality of life before and after radioactive iodine intake in patients with thyroid cancer
Researcher Bulletin of Medical Sciences,
Vol. 24 No. 1 (2019),
31 August 2020
Introduction: Thyroid cancer can affect the quality of life of patients and no validated study has been
conducted to evaluate the quality of life in patients with thyroid cancer in Iran. The purpose of this
study was to evaluate the changes of quality of life in patients with thyroid cancer treated with
Materials and Methods: According to a prospective longitudinal study, quality of life and mood in
these patients were studied by two questionnaires: Short Form Health Survey (SF36) and Hospital
Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) provided to the patients by the researcher. The questionnaires
were completed one month before iodine injection, on the day of injection, at the end of the second
week, and sixth month after radioactive iodine injection. The patients were treated in two groups of
100 and 150 μ Curie. After completing the questionnaires, the resulting scores at four different time
points were evaluated and compared.
Results: The mean SF36 scores were lower than one month before iodine intake and after 6 months,
the mean scores were lower than one month before iodine intake. The mean HADS scores one month
after iodine intake were not significantly different from the time of iodine intake, but after two weeks,
anxiety and depression were reduced, and the result continued till the sixth months. No difference was
found in the levels of anxiety and depression between the doses of 100 and 150 μ Curie.
Conclusion: The highest level of anxiety and depression and quality of life during the first two weeks
of iodine intake reduced with time and iodine intake dose did not affect it.

Soccer, football or foot fondling of pigskin are different names for the same beautiful sport. There are numerous games on the App Store putting you in control of the players directly, and a few allowing you to micromanage strategy and player line-ups. There hasn’t been any game placing football in a simulation, and if there ever were one it would have to come from the hands of Kairosoft. And that is exactly what we have now with Pocket League Story.
If you are new to the world of Kairosoft a short summary of the basic gameplay is: upgrade, research, develop, buy new on higher level, get completely addicted, combine, upgrade, research, develop, win, replay on higher level, win. That is an extremely dumbed down summary of the gameplay in all games from Kairosoft released for iOS so far. Actually games from Kairsoft can be divided into four different simulation types based on style and subject matter. We have Game Dev Story and Pocket Academy in one micromanagement style. Mega Mall Story is alone, as a sideviewed economy simulation. Most games are found in the land/city development style, and finally we have the sports games Grand Prix Story and Pocket League Story. Pocket League Story is basically a re-skinned Grand Prix Story with a bit more aspects to explore, and more people to train. It is also notable for being the first Kairosoft game completely lacking combos. Combos are usually a huge factor in finding what buildings, or what parts work well together. My wife has spent hours exploring new combos in Venture Towns, and Oh Edo Towns. Personally I have had a lack of patience, and resorted into browsing online faqs. I still think it is a huge omission from Pocket League Story not having combos. I think you could have had player combinations, or skill combos.
The aim of the game is to take a poor game, as far as possible in eight years. Once the time is up the score is recorded, but you are allowed to continue afterwards. When you start a new game all upgraded players, coaches, formations and facility upgrade levels are kept. This means that the more times you complete the game the better equipped you are. After completing the game once you also get to play with a faster speed setting. This is something I really think should be available from the start, especially for the matches.
Buying players, training them and selecting matches or leagues is the core of the game. You also have fan activities to get more fans, and other bonuses such as more matches to choose from, new players and coaches. There is a limited amount of building in the game, but you get to upgrade your stadium and build a few facilities. Approaching sponsors is also important to get your economy blooming. This is always a game of chance, as is the negotiation with players. You can always cheat by saving before, and then quit if the player or sponsor declines. Loading the game again you can retry the action that seems to be quite random in outcome. The same goes for matches that can sway quite heavily in outcome in even games.
The main issue I have with Pocket League Story is having to watch the matches. I had the same issue with Grand Prix Story where you had to watch races with very little to do. In Pocket League Story you only get to tap a player to initiate auro mode, but other than that most games are just about me waiting for them to be over. It becomes a bit better with faster speed upon completion of the game. Still it is a bore that takes away a lot of enjoyment. It also prolongs the game with the wrong kind of action. I would rather have had more leagues, and harder matches than watching players I can’t controls run about. Even ordinary manager games allow for quicker matches.
The matches aren’t realistic in any way either, and there is no referee. The only things happening during a match is kick-off, goals, corners, throw-inns, corners and goal kicks. For the football purist this is a bit lacking, but on the other hand it might be more accessible to those not into football. That is perhaps one of the strong aspects of the game, as you don’t need to know anything beforehand. All you need to grasp is that a higher number is better, and finding the best possible position for a player is shown in grades from F to S.
The presentation is as always a cool personal Kairosoft style. There are known players from other games by the same developer. The music, and sound effects are not as good as earlier. Especially the music has taken a turn for the worse, but you can play your own instead.
I still think it is a shame that there are no global leaderboards for the games from Kairosoft. It feels quite lonely recording a score, and compares it to your earlier scores. When you have beat the game twice there is little to do, and the game won’t be played again.
Pocket League Story has some great moments of fun when you finally beat that hard as nails team, or manage to get a superstar player for the first time. It is also a lesson in boredom with the drawn out matches with little interactivity. If you are into the simulation games from Kairosoft it is definitely worthy to add to the collection, but to newcomers and those hesitant to simulation games I urge you to pass.

Subprime lending was developed in the late 1990s in the United States and became popular in the past five years. Subprime lending simply means lending to people who have questionable capability to repay the loan. Banks, generally, lend to prime clients or those who have a good credit rating. A good credit rating is earned by showing the capacity to pay back loans, no history of late or non-payments, acceptable property for mortgage etc. Those who do not pass the bank checklist are below prime or “Subprime”.
In any transaction, the higher the risk, the higher the rate. Subprime loans carry very high risks for the lender and thus, have very high interest rates.
The Subprime market was an opportunity for financial institutions to generate more profit by developing securities (tradable investment instruments) related to subprime loans. With aggressive global investment banking, these investment instruments with high returns reached financial markets all over the world and were snapped up all kinds of funds. As demand increased, the U.S. financial institutions granted more and more Subprime loans.
Over the past 10 years, the world saw massive inflow of capital to the USA. Savings from Asia and Europe were seeking investment venues to fund their social overhead and sustain positive economic growth. Only the USA had the capacity to absorb these funds. Housing-related investment instruments, subprime lending included, offered a unique opportunity to the entire world.
Meanwhile, the culture of credit spending was pushing the American public to consume more. With credit cards, liberal consumption and now liberal housing loans, America increased its importation thus sending its Dollars to China, Europe and Asia. Awash with US Dollars, these countries were snapping up US Treasury Bills and Bonds and mortgage notes. It was and continues to be a vicious cycle.
On the other hand, the USA housing sector, was going wild. Lenders having cheap funds from the world gave out loans right and left mostly based on perceived increasing value of houses. Mortgage brokers wanting to earn more commissions pushed borrowers to cash in on their “home equities” or to borrow more using their now higher valued homes as collateral. With additional loans, they could fund everything from consumer goods such as toys, plasma TVs (from China and Asia), cars, vacations, second and even third homes. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, two Government Supported Enterprises (GSEs) accelerated its massive purchases of mortgage papers from US domestic lenders and issuances of credit guarantees to US as well as global investors.
Investment Bankers and Insurers became more creative to fuel more credit.
More money was made available as investment bankers and insurers became even more creative issuing asset-backed securities and forms of complicated debt instruments. They are not restricted by strict capital requirements as commercial and savings banks. They bundled individual mortgage notes valued based on the increasing housing prices and sold them off to domestic and foreign investors as high yielding instruments. These are the securities referred to as Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) and other similar structured products.
No real attention was given to the fact that a good number of these mortgages were loans given to borrowers with no real capacity to pay. The commission-driven mortgage brokers aggressively sought out borrowers and arranged housing loans with banks. Banks were eager to lend since they could sell these same mortgages to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae very quickly. There was just too much money available and too much money to be made in giving out housing loans.
These CDOs and CLOs became even more saleable when Wall Street players included something like an insurance policy in the package (Credit Default Swap or CDS). With the insurance guarantee, rating agencies (like Standard and Pours, and others) gave AAA ratings to these structured products. Thus, even top banks like UBS, and Citicorp invested substantial amounts. Eventually, Citicorp and UBS covered their huge losses of $62Billion and UBS $42Billion with new capital right away. Latest information from the IMF is that Subprime losses of banks have reached over $500Billion.
More and more investment instruments based on the value of other assets or financial instruments called Derivatives, took over the financial markets providing instant margins to traders, brokers, investment bankers and insurers. These Wall Street operations were producing sustained profits out of buy and sell transactions of CDOs and the growing liabilities were not reflected in formal records (kept off-books). All eyes were on the margins and profits as if there were no real risks and as if the increasing price of housing which was the fundamental basis for the asset value would never stop. The fact is, it did.
- What funded Subprime? Too much capital from foreign investors looking for yields higher than what their own countries could offer.
- Where did these funds come from? In the case of China and Asia, their exports to the U.S. mostly made up of consumer goods. In the case of the Middle East, oil proceeds from global energy imports.
- How did Subprime get to grow to such high levels? a) Wall street’s creativity in developing securities without adequate regulation; b) the failure of the established rating agencies to properly assess the true credit risks and c) the unmitigated insurance cover (CDS) on payment defaults sold over-the-counter. Neither the Insurance nor Securities Regulators regulated them.
The US Credit Crisis in Perspective
Here are a few statistics cited from the presentation of Mr. Helmut Schnabel, Chairman of the International Association of Financial Executives Institutes (IAFEI) in its summit last September 5, 2008.
- Total Subprime mortgage loans in U.S. in 2007 was $1.2 Trillion.
- Total private mortgage loans in U.S. today is about $12 Trillion
- Total non-mortgage debt of private households (i.e. credit card, auto loans and other consumer credits) is $2.5 Trillion
- Total U.S. private household debt is thus $14.5 Trillion
- Net worth of private households in U.S. in 2007 (i.e. their total assets less their total debt) amounts to $58 Trillion.
- Private household assets to their total debt ratio is a healthy 5:1
- Actual losses of banks and intermediaries from Subprime loans are in the magnitude of $512 Billion. This represents approximately 3.5% of private debt and less than 1% of private household net worth.
- In the last two weeks, new capital of almost $400 Billion was raised to offset the above losses of the affected financial institutions.
These numbers indicate that it is more fear and panic that is causing the present credit and thus llquidity crisis to further drive financial markets down. More than anything, it is clear that the U.S. consumer and the economy remain viable and nowhere near being in the brink of collapse.
What is the impact of this US credit crisis on our economy
The Philippines is a very small financial market. Our total market capitalization is just about US$133 Billion or US$.13 Trillion. On the other hand, according to IAFEI, “the market capitalization of the worldwide equity and bond markets, plus the worldwide assets of banks, at the end of 2007, amounted to a total volume of over 200 Trillion US $. (Source: IMF, German Central Bank). This puts the value of the Philippine financial markets at a miniscule percentage of .065 compared to that of the world.
From the very beginning, our markets were not really of much attraction to the global financial players. One could say that we simply are too small to spend too much time on. There is another reason why we could not have been a venue for these derivative investments. We do not have financial market infrastructure that would have allowed the kind of loose and free-wheeling over-the-counter trading that caused a lot of unregulated instruments and transactions to take place. In a sense, our “backwardness” kept us out of risk.
But given the extent that our economy is closely related to that of the U.S., significant repercussions could be anticipated in the coming periods. For one, remittances from the U.S., which accounts for a substantial(over 33%) portion of total inward remittances, could temporarily decline. For another, our merchandise exports to the U.S. would more likely also substantially decline. The purchasing power of the American consumers has been severely reduced by this credit crisis. It may take a while to turn that around.
But not all are negative. Outsourcing business from America has a good chance of even increasing, as American business must even now focus more on increasing its competitiveness. And, for reasons still to be studied and understood, oil prices appear to decline as the crisis continues. This can only help us as we face the oncoming (though hopefully) temporary slow down in our economy.
We also have a few aces in our sleeves. Government is accelerating agriculture and infrastructure spending. OFW mobilization continues to be on the rise in more and newer markets for a broader range of skills. Hopefully, these and more innovative developmental spending will not only offset the expected reduction in economic activities from the U.S. but also provide more domestic employment opportunities for our available work force.
The bottom line really is, it’s up to us. We have the power to turn this global crisis to an opportunity for growing our economy our own way.

"Home Care for Disabled brother"
About: Bradford / Bradford Social services Bradford Bradford Social services Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust Shipley BD18 3LA NHS Bradford City CCG NHS Bradford City CCG BD5 7JR
Posted by Sheeraa (as ),
My brother in his mid fifties is a paraplegic and lives with my now elderly mum in her seventies who until the last 6-7 years has been his main carer. District nurses now attend to assist him once every other day with toilet duties which initially was a huge help for my mum. However, recently the level of care has really deteriorated to the point with the district nurse managers are refusing to all the nurses to assist him the way he has always been used to and finds easy to cope with and expecting my mum to start doing this aspect of work again. I'm furious!
My mum is elderly with arthritis and simply can not do all the lugging about anymore. This appaulling level of cover undermines my brother's dignity and recently both my brother and mum have been talking about suicide as they simply are finding the stress of the situation too much to cope with and feel trapped, undignified and totally uncared for.
I am scared stiff of one or both of them possibly taking such drastic action and I am disgusted that an occupation of care and trust has left two very vulnerable members of my family feeling completely uncared for and unable to trust the very people who are there to help. Why do people go into nursing if they don't care! I have now had to involve social services and inform the local mental health team in the hope that just someone will offer some dignity and respect to my brother who through no fault of his own, has had to endure a very personal intrusion with toilet issues for the best part of his life and now at a time when his mum can no longer assist is made to feel even more humiliated and consumed by the stress this has created.

Parsons Foundation Grants Caltech $2 Million
The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation has awarded the California Institute of Technology a $2 million grant to be used over three years to purchase scientific computer equipment for the Biomolecular Structures Laboratory at Caltech.
"This equipment is absolutely essential to put Caltech in a position to lead the field of protein design, which has great promise for applications to medical research," said Caltech president David Baltimore.
The computational biology hardware will be used by scientists like Stephen Mayo, associate professor of biology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute assistant investigator. They will use it to study protein structure, function, and design. "It's phenomenal," said Mayo. "Computational biology is a new and rapidly emerging area and this will be very high end, high performance computer hardware. It will be one of the most significant computing facilities at Caltech."
The equipment will provide a means for studying biotechnology materials that could be used in human therapeutics, industrial biotechnology, and agriculture. It will be housed in the Broad Center for Biological Sciences, a structure that, when completed in 2002, will provide space for 10 new Caltech research groups that will work at the cutting edge of the biological sciences.
Caltech kicked off the Biological Sciences Initiative in 1998, to raise $100 million for new faculty and resources. The Parsons Foundation gift is the first to address one of the key objectives of the Initiative, providing equipment for state-of-the-art instrumentation facilities that scientists in the Broad Center will share with others on campus.
Caltech has a history of discovery in the biological sciences, with six Nobel Prizes in medically related fields. Thomas Hunt Morgan, who founded the Division of Biology at Caltech in 1928, won the Nobel Prize for identifying the gene as a specific entity with a fixed location on a chromosome. His Nobel was followed by prizes for George Beadle, Max Delbrück, Renato Dulbecco, Roger Sperry, and Edward Lewis, who, in 1995, received the Nobel for his decades of work on how genes control development. Baltimore received a Nobel Prize at the age of 37 for his work in virology.
The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation was established in 1961 by the late Ralph M. Parsons, founder of the international engineering and construction firm that bears his name. The foundation, since 1974 a separate, free-standing, charitable organization independent of the corporation, awards grants focusing on the areas of higher education, social-impact programs, health, and civic and cultural endeavors.

Our rental and exchange system can keep your downtime to a minimum.
The main spindle or machining head on your Unisign machine can fail for any number of reasons, including programming errors and wear and tear. You’ll want to repair the resulting mechanical damage as quickly as possible. Our Services department can help with this. Our machining head rental service and main spindle exchange system keep your manufacturing downtime to a minimum.
Rental service for machining heads
You can rely on us whenever one of the heads in your Unisign machine develops a problem during the machining process. A range of machining heads, including perpendicular heads, turning heads and universal heads, are available as standard. These can be rented from us at a fixed price for an agreed period of time.
We will send a Unisign expert to remove the faulty machining head and install the rented head. So you get back up and running as soon as possible. We will then repair the defective machining head in our workshop. Once the repair is completed, we will re-install it and take back the rented machining head.
Exchange system for main spindles
We also offer a quick solution if the main spindle in your Unisign machine suffers damage. During repair, a machine with a defective main spindle will typically be sitting idle. We offer an exchange system for main spindles that keeps any downtime to a minimum.
We will remove the defective spindle, directly replacing it with a fully overhauled main spindle in your machine. The specifications of this overhauled spindle are exactly the same as a new spindle. Our exchange system allows you to get back to manufacturing as quickly as possible. We will repair your old main spindle and then add it to our exchange pool.
Purchasing a spare machining head
From time to time, all our machining heads might all be rented out. This is because many Unisign machines use the same machining heads. If a specific machining head is absolutely critical to your process, consider erring on the side of caution and purchase your own spare machining head to keep your manufacturing process running.
What to do if a head or spindle fails
If your machine is out of action due to a failed machining head and/or main spindle, we will help you get your manufacturing back on track in 3 steps:
- Assess the damage, take pictures and use this form to share the information with us.
- We will analyse the damage and prepare a quotation to install a rented head or exchange spindle.
- After we receive your approval, we will schedule a specialist to install the rented head or exchange spindle.
Highly trained operators
Damage to a machining head or main spindle is often the result of human error. That is why we believe it is important to share our knowledge and insights with our clients. We offer a range of training programmes that teach operators how to correctly operate, programme and maintain Unisign machines. If you are interested in this, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org for further details.

Richmond, VA – Today, four environmental and public interest organizations joined forces to call on Governor Terry McAuliffe to conduct a comprehensive review of the state’s safeguards on fracking. The groups have raised concerns that current standards are inadequate and outdated given new risks associated with the latest fracking techniques for oil and gas extraction.
Modern hydraulic fracturing and well stimulation, commonly known as “fracking,” often includes millions of gallons of highly pressurized toxic fracking fluid and horizontal drilling, which is very different from, and much more hazardous than, traditional drilling currently used in Virginia. Water and air pollutants released from fracking operations are driving public health concerns in many states. Other states have recognized the need for a comprehensive study and review of their standards; as of yet, Virginia has not.
“Virginia leaders need to take a thorough look at our standards before fracking takes off in our state,” said Karen Shaffer, Virginia Organizing Washington County Chapter leader. “Governor McAuliffe has the opportunity to show that he cares about the health, safety and property of residents by taking this step.”
The groups have urged Governor McAuliffe not to grant any new permits for oil and gas drilling that would require fracking until such a comprehensive review has been undertaken.
“To grant permits prior to the completion of a thorough, interagency review and appropriate regulatory revisions would unnecessarily endanger Virginia’s citizens and the environment,” said Michael Bochynski, Virginia Program Organizer with Clean Water Action.
The request comes as the Virginia Department of Mines Minerals and Energy (DMME) concludes the revision of a few, narrow aspects of the state’s laws on fracking. While the groups agree that DMME’s pending proposal is a step in the right direction, they suggest that the changes are woefully insufficient. They insist that much more is needed.
“DMME has expressed the view that there is nothing new about fracking, when, in fact, modern fracking is radically different and more risky than low-volume fracking that has previously occurred in Virginia,” said Kate Addleson, Conservation Director for the Virginia Sierra Club.
Multiple reports have been released demonstrating the risks and harms of fracking, including a Compendium of Findings published in October 2015 by the Concerned Health Professionals of New York. Water contamination, which can threaten drinking supplies, has also been linked to fracking.
“There is mounting evidence of the health and environmental risks associated with fracking,” said Mark Frondorf, Shenandoah Riverkeeper. “Virginia needs to fully review the potential impacts of these modern operations and engage all appropriate agencies before issuing new permits.”

I realize that today is Veteran's Day here in the U.S. but I'm going to share a project I worked on just prior to Halloween this year.
My friend C~ purchased a set of Halloween blocks from a nearby guild's white elephant sale. She brought them to me and together we played around with possible layouts. This is the one we liked best:
Here's what one block looks like:
They are essentially a combination of six inch Nine Patch and Bow Tie blocks. Our guess is that this was a set of lottery blocks someone won and then didn't use. I suspect that the guidelines for the lottery were to use an orange print and a black print in specific placements within the 12 inch block. If you look closely, in the block below you'll see that the orange is actually a Christmas print!
It was pretty quick work to get the blocks sewn together. There was one spot in one block that had almost no seam allowance though, so I had DS put some Fray Chek on that area to protect it from raveling out. I added a three inch border all the way around...
And another top was ready to be quilted up for a child in Foster Care. :- )
There were some blocks that didn't make it into the quilt top, the block with the Christmas print being one of them! I took it upon myself to make a set of placemats for my DD and her brood out of the leftover blocks.
I took a couple of them apart and made a few new components to get what I wanted, then added side borders to make six 12" x 18" placemats.
Here's one up close so you can see the text print I used at the very edge. If you double click you should be able to get a nice big image for easier reading.
All it took was black to bind the edges and DD had a fun new set of mats to protect her dining table from the four little ghouls - I mean girls! - who keep her hopping! ;- )
Until next time, here's to those who have served, or are currently serving, on our behalf in various branches of the military. We appreciate your dedication and sacrifice.

- At Daimler's annual meeting on Wednesday, CEO Ola Källenius announced a slew of big news that had little to do with the dividends and business figures that such occasions are usually all about.
- The Stuttgart-based company's new EQS electric model will have a range of 770 kilometers and will be able to recharge enough electricity for 300 kilometers within 15 minutes, he said. The new S-Class will also be able to park fully automatically, Källenius announced.
- In addition, Mercedes is electrifying its entire model range and has set itself the goal of becoming carbon-neutral well before 2039, the Daimler CEO said.
This is an automated machine translation of an article published by Business Insider in a different language. Machine translations can generate errors or inaccuracies; we will continue the work to improve these translations. You can find the original version here.
"We are not afraid of a challenge, we are the challengers." With this sentence, Daimler CEO Ola Källenius concluded his speech at the group's annual general meeting on Wednesday at noon.
It seems as if Källenius is addressing these words directly to Elon Musk and his car company Tesla, which is rapidly building a factory in Daimler's front yard in Grünheide to supply the global market with e-cars from Brandenburg.
Källenius and his board members have had to listen to a lot of criticism in recent months. The electrification of models, digitalization, climate neutrality, autonomous driving: everything is progressing too slowly at the Stuttgart-based company. On Wednesday at the latest, the Daimler boss countered this criticism not just with warm words, but with facts and tangible announcements.
The EQS clearly beats the Tesla Model S in terms of range.
He provided a brief glimpse under the hood of the new EQS e-model that will celebrate its world premiere in two weeks. The Mercedes will boast a range of 770 kilometers and will be able to charge 300 kilometers of range within fifteen minutes. At the same time, the car manages a drag of just 0.2 CW. Compared to the Tesla Model S Plaid, which has a range of 628 kilometers according to the manufacturer, the EQS performs significantly better.
But Daimler doesn't just want to beat Tesla in terms of e-car range. Källenius announced on Wednesday that the new S-Class is capable of driving up to Level 3 Autonomous as standard and even drives completely autonomously in parking situations. Translated, this means that you can put your S-Class in front of a parking garage and it will drive itself in, park - and then drive itself out again and stop in front of the parking garage. Tesla is still a long way from Level 4, according to information from Business Insider, and is implementing many new Level 3 features into Tesla's software.
And the Daimler boss had two other important announcements to make: The Stuttgart-based company wants to become carbon-neutral well before 2039, the date actually envisioned. Källenius did not give details on Wednesday but said that the key dates will follow quickly.
In addition, the Stuttgart company would electrify its entire model range. So since the plenary meeting at the latest, it has been clear that Daimler is pulling out all the stops to catch up with Tesla, currently the most valuable car company in the world. To use Källenius' words: Daimler, the challenger.


Replace Fuel Line
|Part Number(s):||This is the "Braided 3.2mm X 1.9MM" AKA 6170780081|
|Best Place to buy:||Ebay has plenty too|
|Cost to Have it done in a shop:||$|
|How long it may take:||5-15 minutes|
|Tools needed:||Maybe some|
|Special tools needed:|
Symptom: You're fuel line is getting soft and spongy, and you notice it's wet to the touch, or bubbling when on.
1. Get some replacement hose, 1 meter would be more than enough for 1 job, AND you'd then have some for emergencies, and they do happen. Once my engine was steaming and I opened it up, one of my return fuel lines had popped off. So it does happen! I was also glad I don't drive a GASOLINE CAR, otherwise my car, and maybe I wouldn't be here today.
2. Just unplug the faulty fuel line and cut a piece to fit, and replace, making sure it's on REALLY TIGHT!
3. Remember to replace the end cap.
4. Start up the car and check for leaks. This should be no problem.
"They" Say you should get some of that nifty Vitron Tubing...
I do NOT like this tubing, it breaks at the ends. I don't care if it lasts longer using biodiesel, the broken ends don't work.
