CE MARKING OF MACHINERY
PROVISION & USE OF WORK EQUIPMENT
MACHINERY SAFETY TRAINING
CE marking of a single machine or an interchangeable machine is a relatively simple process. The limits of the machine should be determined, maximum speed, pressures, etc. and a description documented. At this point a basic risk assessment should be carried out to determine what hazards are likely to occur. Now it is possible to design out the hazards and design in safeguards.
Maintenance should be considered, to enable components to be changed safely, but also efficiently. CE marking doesn’t require things to be efficient, but good design does. At this point, review what Directives may apply. If electrically powered, then the EMC Directive will probably apply. If pressure systems are involved then the Pressure Equipment Directive, and if an explosive atmosphere is likely, then ATEX Directive may need to be considered.
When a design is in place, a prototype can be built. Calculations for cables, components, stress etc. should be carried out at this point. They may need updating at a later point as things change, but should be done in the early stages.
Now EN Standards come into place. If there is a ‘C’ type standard for the type of equipment, then it should be followed as much as possible. EN 619 is for conveyors, EN 201 for injection moulding machines for example.
Electrical systems should be designed using EN 60204-1. Safety related control systems should be designed using EN 13849 or EN 62061. The design needs to be validated before the machine goes into service. It is never good practice for the designer to carry out the validation. The Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSR’s) of the Machinery Directive should be addressed, to ensure compliance is achieved.
Once a machine is built, the EHSR’s should be addressed individually, against the machine, explaining how the machine complies. Where it doesn’t, carrying out risk assessments to determine how to make it comply. These should be documented as evidence that the CE process has been followed, and stored in a Technical File. The File doesn’t have to exist, however must be assembled in a timely manner, if required by Health and Safety Authorities. To this end, it is worth either saving everything in a Directory, or printing it out in a Technical File. Declarations provided by component or sub suppliers need to be either scanned and saved or stored in the Technical File.
All machinery must meet section 1 of the EHSR’s in Annex I of the Directive. However if the machine is for contact with food or pharmaceuticals, Section 2 should also be addressed. Mobile equipment is in Section 3, lifting equipment Section 4. Machinery for underground work is in Section 5 and for lifting of people, Section 6.
If any tests are required, lifting tests, noise tests, vibration, EMC etc., these should be done at this point (or earlier), and the results documented. If the machine fails, then further work may need to be done.
An Instruction manual needs to be written detailing how to operate the machine or interchangeable machine. It should explain how to handle and transport it, install, commission, program or clean it, operate, maintain and finally dismantle and dispose of it. The software file used to validate the safety related control system should be supplied to the end user, so that modifications can be made later.
Once any rework is carried out, the machine tested and working correctly, then a Declaration of Conformity can be produced. Finally the CE marking applied to the machine or interchangeable machine.
A copy of the Declaration must be in the Instructions, the original should be held by the manufacturer. The manufacturers name and address and details of the machine must be affixed to the machine, so that the Declaration can be cross referenced to it, this is a good place to mount the CE marking. The CE marking must be in the same format as the plate.
Partly Completed Machinery is machinery that is designed to be incorporated into another machine or a system. A conveyor without any controls for example, that is to be incorporated into a system that another manufacturer is designing the controls for. The same basic process is followed as above, but only the EHSR’s that apply are considered. So guarding would be considered to ensure that nip points are protected, but the control EHSR’s would all be Not Applicable. A Technical File would be compiled, listing the EHSR’s and how the equipment complies, and identifying which are Not Applicable.
A plate would be attached to the machine, but no CE marking should be applied. A Declaration of Incorporation should be drawn up, listing the EHSR’s that have been addressed. An Instruction Manual explaining how to incorporate the machine should be provided. If there are safety related components provided, an assessment should be provided demonstrating what Performance Level or Safety integrity Level has been reached under EN 13849 or EN 62061 respectively. Ideally a copy of the software file used to demonstrate the calculations should be supplied.
If building a complex assembly of machines, such as a robot cell, where a robot takes a component and transfers it between different machines or jigs, and different processes are carried out, then it is still a very similar process. In this instance, many of the machines supplied will either be CE marked in their own right, or come with Declarations of Incorporation.
The integrator has to design a safe system, so must start with the basics and define the limits of the machinery, weights, speeds etc. to determine an efficient way of working. Hazards need to be considered and designed out where possible. Safeguards need to be designed in, and the same process followed as for the CE marking of a single machine.
This can be complicated, depending upon the complexity of the system. A Distribution depot with miles of conveyor has to follow the same process, as does a production line in a factory. Either way, the limits need to be determined, EHSR’s addressed and risk assessments carried out, to be held in a Technical File. Maintenance becomes extremely important in larger systems, as it needs to be determined how to achieve safe access to all areas for maintenance and adjustment, considering access for people, but also heavy components.
Ultimately a plate with a CE mark and a Declaration of Conformity will need to be issued. Contracts should specify who is responsible for the CE marking of a complex assembly at the start of the project, to ensure there is no confusion. Safe Machine Ltd. can work with integrators to ensure this is done correctly.
Where a machine is designed for use with another, such as an excavator bucket, demountable gritter body or something driven by a tractor, the CE process should be followed as if for a single machine. The key issue is if this is done by the operator, it can be considered interchangeable equipment. If a team of engineers is required, then it is not.
The relative sections in the EHSR’s must be addressed. Instructions form an important part, as they have to explain how to handle the equipment safely. The CE marking will be applied to the equipment on a plate, which may also include things like mass or power.
If an existing machine is modified to change its function or performance, then the Machinery Directive applies where the modified machinery is considered “new” to the EEA market. For example, the fitting of CNC (computer) control to a previously manually operated machine substantially alters the way the original machine is operated and controlled. Consequently such a modification introduces significant new hazards (e.g. automatic programmed operation). This will require full assessment before modifications to the design and construction of the machine are made to ensure they are safe and prior to it being placed on the market or put into service. In this case, where very substantial modifications / additions have been made full compliance with the Machinery Directive is required for the resultant product (conformity assessment, drawing up of a technical file, issuing a Declaration of Conformity and CE marking).
This is because a new machine has been created even though the original manually operated machine may have previously been in use in an EEA country. Where the machine is large and complex the part modified may not affect other parts of the machine. In this case, only the parts and systems modified, or which could have been affected, need to be reassessed. The other parts not affected do not need a new conformity assessment, but the assessment of what is not affected should be included in the technical file.

Well that was a surprise. I actually kinda enjoyed that. I’ve said before on numerous occasions that Gatiss isn’t my cup of tea on Who every time. For every Crimson Horror, there is a Victory of the Daleks and I’m never sure from season to season what I’m going to get from him.
What happened this week? The Doctor and Bill end up on Mars and improbably find themselves with some Victorians and a lone ice warrior. Nardole gets trapped in a rebounding TARDIS and asks Missy for help (take note kids: This is never a good idea). The lone ice warrior is trying to awaken his Queen and a clash of civilisations happens on Mars.
“God save the Queen”
NASA uncover God save the Queen written on the surface of Mars in a nifty flashback to the series 2 Ten episode featuring Queen Victoria and Torchwood (Queen Vic even gets a photo reference when the camera pans to a picture of s2 Vic on the wall of a cavern in Mars). The Doctor, Bill and Nardole, immediately need to hop into the TARDIS to investigate.
Ah, and there we have it, a welcome return to the anti-neoliberal theme of earlier s10. The Victorians see Mars as theirs to obtain. Because they are Victorians and they have ‘discovered’ this new planet, it and its resources are theirs. I quite liked the characterisation of the cowardly Victorian soldier who saw through the hubris for what it was and elected to try to make peace with the Ice Warriors and their Queen.
The Ice Warriors
Though their Queen is a little hissy, I liked that she looked to Bill for an opinion on what she should do and how she should assess the Victorians and The Doctor’s request for peace. I also liked that the lone ice warrior who had joined forces with the Victorians acted as a mirror to the cowardly soldier. I liked that the actor playing the Ice Warrior sounded grave and sad and wise, even underneath all of the costume and makeup. The reference to Alpha Centauri was confusing for my partner and I, as we’d never seen the original classic episode Alpha came from before, but once we’d looked it up, we both conceded it was a nice nod back to the past.
Nardole managed to get back to Bill and The Doctor, but not without help from an unexpected and dangerous quarter. I am fast running out of superlatives to describe the multi faceted character study that is Michelle Gomez as Missy. Her reply to Nardole as he begs for her help through the box that constrains her is chilling because it is delivered in such an understated fashion. And I loved the visuals and Gold’s music working together with Gomez when The Doctor looks horrified as he sees Missy’s reflection in the TARDIS console and Missy’s Theme plays. Then dreadful silence followed by, ‘are you alright?’ Absolutely terrifying.

Although he lost his fastball years ago and was unable to find a rotation spot last season, free agent Livan Hernandez wants to keep on pitching in 2013.
RHP Livan Hernandez plans to play big-league baseball in 2013. His goal is to reach 200 victories. He has 178 victories entering '13. #MLB—
William Ladson (@washingnats) December 23, 2012
So, yeah, 200 is a big long shot for the “37-year-old” right-hander. Hernandez spent 2012 as a reliever for the Braves and Brewers and finished with a 6.42 ERA in 67 1/3 innings. It’s not quite as bad as it sounds; he gave up 11 of his 31 runs in his last two appearances, both of which came following long layoffs in September. Still, even throwing that out, he was a mop-up man with a 5.05 ERA. At least he did go 4-1.
Hernandez is currently sixth on the active wins list. The current leader, Jamie Moyer (269), is likewise iffy to get a job next year, while No. 2 on the list, Andy Pettitte (245), has already retired and come back. The only righties ahead of Hernandez are Roy Halladay (199) and Tim Hudson (197). CC Sabathia (191) is in fifth place.

Eskom staff asks Brian Molefe to rescind decision to resign
Brian Molefe announced his decision to step down as Eskom CEO in the aftermath of the Public Protector's state capture report.
Molefe said on Friday that he was going to resign, in the aftermath of the Public Protector's state capture report.
In the report, former Public Protector Advocate Thuli Madonsela says it appeared Eskom tried to force the Optimum coal mine out of business, so it could be bought cheaply by the Gupta family.
Eskom's Khulu Phasiwe says a group of Eskom staffers went to Molefe's office on Tuesday afternoon and asked him to join workers in the main auditorium.
“During the meeting the staff asked Molefe to rescind his resignation letter.”

Meeting for the first time in the newly completed city hall building, the Leadwood Board of Alderpersons held a regular session on Monday night.
Kevin Brooks, supervisor for the city’s street, utilities and park departments, started things off with an update on the park benches he’s been building for the city park.
“Five of them are installed,” he said. “We’ve just got to get materials for the other six and then put them in.”
Mayor Dennis Parks gave a brief update on the project to renovate the city’s water and sewer systems. He said all required paperwork is in the hands of the state. City officials are waiting to hear about the next step after the paperwork has been approved.
“Hopefully within the next month we’ll be having an update on (the project),” he said.
Parks also spoke about the city hall ribbon cutting and grand opening event held earlier in the day. All board members were present for the ribbon cutting, which was followed by an open house. Area residents enjoyed hot dogs, cookies, cupcakes and other complimentary refreshments.
Alderman John Vickers thanked Alderman Charlie Lewis, whose construction company built the new structure, for doing an excellent job on the project and Parks thanked City Clerk Charlotte Lewis and the members of the community who helped her with the planning and preparation for the open house.
“If I didn’t have (all of) you to count on, I don’t know what I’d have done,” Parks said, expressing his appreciation for the homemade cookies and cupcakes the women baked and for the hotdogs Brooks prepared for the event.
Commenting on construction of the building, Charlie Lewis remarked that although there were some difficulties in getting the project started, once he and his crew were able to begin building, everything went smoothly and the project was completed under budget.
Some finishing touches are still needed to complete the city hall, including paving the parking lot and adding some landscaping around the outside of the building. Parks mentioned that the board had previously discussed adding a three foot landscaping border around the building with plants and flowers.
Only one contractor — Rick Hall — submitted a bid for the parking lot, which was approved by the board. A short discussion followed about providing at least one reserved parking space that is handicapped accessible and another space for short-term parking.
It was agreed to create a border with either landscaping timbers or treated lumber around the building before the blacktop is laid down. Brooks provided a rough estimate of the cost of the timbers at about $500 and recommended treating them with stain or waterproofing to prolong the life of the timbers.
Next, the board talked about adding a weather-resistant lockable box in which to post public notices outside city hall and an acceptable amount to pay someone to build the box. Board members agreed to a limit of $500 for the project.
City Clerk Charlotte Lewis commented that she has inquired about lettering for the building and is waiting for a reply.
In street department business, Alderman David Henry reported on the amount of asphalt needed to repair Third and Oak streets. He recommended buying at least two loads of asphalt.
The board also discussed a project to repair the bridge next to the city park, the amount of concrete needed and the best time of year to complete it to reduce the chance of rain interfering with the project.
In police and court business, Alderwoman Anna Woods reminded the board that the police department is down one officer and another will be leaving soon.
She reported that the police department is also in need of a new vehicle. She said the Dodge patrol car, although it is only two or three years old, has been having a lot of problems. The board discussed seeing if the car’s warranty will cover any needed repairs before moving forward on buying a new vehicle. Alderman Charlie Lewis recommended, if the board decides a new car is needed, it would be better not to wait until the car no longer has any trade-in value.
Police Chief Will Dickey reported one of the department’s radar units is worn out and will look into the cost of a new one.
In park business, Charlie Lewis reiterated the numerous upcoming events scheduled at the city park, including the Christmas Angels car show on July 8, a fundraiser for the Our American Hero Foundation on July 15, the Fall Festival Sept. 22-24 and the Bluegrass Festival on Oct. 7.
Lewis also brought up the subject of updating the electric services at the park to better accommodate those who use the park during festivals and fundraising events.
Board members agreed to schedule another citywide yard sale on Aug. 4-5 and a citywide cleanup for Ward 1 on July 10-11 and in Ward 2 on July 12-13. Notices for the cleanup will be sent to all residents with a note for those who may need help to contact city hall.
The next regular session was scheduled for June 26 at 6 p.m. in city hall.

Thousands benefitting from timely mental health treatment
More Australians under the age of 40 than any other age group are having their mental health hospital treatment fast-tracked without having to serve a health insurance waiting period.
One in 5 Australians will experience a mental health issue each year but more than half won’t access any treatment.
But since the introduction of government reforms in 2018, customers with lower levels of cover have been able to access inpatient mental health care without having to serve a two-month waiting period.
That’s meant that we have seen a rise in people being able to access mental health hospital treatment when they need it most.
In the first two years of the mental health waiver, more than 2,800 customers have been able to fast-track in-hospital psychiatric care, with half of those aged under 40.
Customers using the waiver only had to wait an average of four days before receiving treatment and stayed an average of 18 days in hospital during their first admission.
They spent a total of 62,000 days in hospital over a two-year period. The most common reasons for hospital admission were depression, drug and alcohol use, and anxiety disorders.
Medibank paid more than $190 million last financial year in benefits nationally for all mental health-related hospital admissions.
In addition to the waiver for in-hospital psychiatric treatment, we are continuing to focus on delivering products and services that make accessing mental health support, whether at home or in your local community, simpler and easier.
We believe that having access to preventative and primary healthcare options for mental health conditions will have a positive effect and improve outcomes for our customers.
To support our customers’ mental health, we have recently rolled out Live Better activities, resources through our healthy mind hub and treatment via our 24/7 Mental Health Phone Support (1800 644 325).
In order to increase mental health support for our customers, Medibank introduced counselling services to eligible extras cover in October last year, to complement the existing psychological services provided to customers.
There were almost 68,000 psychology services last year both face-to-face and via telehealth to support our customers through the COVID-19 pandemic.
We remain focused on making it easier for our customers to get the support they need, when they need it.

Living Systems, Artificial Life and Intelligent Systems Design
This book, published by IGI Global, is a collection of original research and development work in artificial life, analysis and modelling of living systems, and real world applications. Synthesising and evolving intelligent behaviour, analysing natural processes and biological systems, and imitating their behaviour in complex artificial systems are considered major challenges in artificial life and intelligent systems design. Addressing these challenges requires crossing boundaries between various disciplines and thinking across established fields of study. In the first part of the book, “Analysis and Modelling of Living Systems”, contributions address open problems in living systems through new models, frameworks, and methods for describing biological and cognitive functions, natural processes and phenomena. The second part, titled “Mathematical and Analytical Techniques with Applications”, presents mathematical and analytical techniques for modelling living systems and provides insights on how these can be exploited further in real-world applications. Lastly, the third part, titled “Intelligent Information Processing and Applications”, focuses on knowledge-based and data-driven computational methods for modelling and exploratory data analysis of biological and cognitive processes.

Ariana DeBose set to star as Calypso in ‘Kraven The Hunter’
The cast of Sony’s upcoming Marvel film ‘Kraven The Hunter’ continues to expand as award-winning actress Ariana DeBose reportedly signs on to play Calypso.
In a report by Deadline, the outlet confirmed the West Side Story star’s involvement in the movie, while also mentioning that sources had told them that she’s on board to star as Calypso. DeBose seemingly confirmed her casting and the role when she reposted Deadline‘s report to her Instagram story.
Calypso is a character who first appeared in the Amazing Spider-Man comic run before becoming a mainstay among Spider-Man’s foes.
The character’s origins explain she is a voodoo priestess with knowledge in potion-making. Her connection with Kraven runs deep with her fanning the flames of the hunter’s hate for Spider-Man, and, at points, she has also been a love interest for Kraven.
The report comes in the midst of a big week for DeBose who on Sunday night won a SAG Award for best-supporting actress for her West Side Story performance.
Kraven The Hunter is set to launch in theatres in January of 2023. The film will be directed by J.C. Chandor alongside producers Matt Tolmach and Avi Arad.
Right now, the names attached to the project include Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who will be leading the cast as Kraven, alongside Fred Hechinger as Chameleon, and Russell Crowe whose role isn’t yet known.
Ahead of Kraven, Sony continues to bolster its offering of Marvel movies with its latest Morbius set to launch in theatres on April 1.

Police say a man with a knife chased his wife through their Chino Hills neighborhood Tuesday and stabbed her to death in the street.
Samir Wahid, 39, was arrested at the scene in connection with the death of his wife, Iman, 33, according to San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers. The couple emigrated from Lebanon, and Samir Wahid owned a construction company.
They were going through a divorce. I just found out a friend of mine is the attorney who was representing the slain woman. I will call her tomorrow, because I know she is devastated. As the attorney, you'd be second-guessing yourself: was there something I should have seen? What did I miss? Could I have done something differently? Another attorney-friend said that there were no indications that the husband would snap.
I like to remind my clients that orders in Family Law are largely temporary in nature. Child custody and support orders become moot with time because the children grow up. Spousal support is unlikely to last forever. As for property division, you're likely to buy new stuff in five years anyway.
But to kill someone and leave three grade-school children without parents, one dead and the other in prison? No, there is no excuse.

Ever feel like a kid who just got out of school - finals completed, no homework due, no schedules, nothing to do but have fun for a week of spring break?
That is how I am feeling today. The sun is out and it is a warm day in Chicago's suburbs. It feels like SPRING is finally here!
After 6 months of cold and rain and snow and just plain gray, the greenery that is sprouting through the muddy spots in my back yard as well as the cardinals playing hide and seek in my bushes are giving me the lift that even my underwire bra can't.
These are the small moments when life is great.
So "LOOK OUT", the small card above is yours for the making.
1 Bugawumps "Look Out" Stamp
2 Small decorative brads
1 piece of ATC white cardstock
*** assorted small pieces of decorative background cardstock
1. Stamp only the top portion of Bugawumps "Look Out" stamp on your white ATC
Color in the stamped image with markers - alcohol based or water based.
Shade in the images with your colored pencils for depth and detail if you want.
I used my alcohol based markers to completely fill in the background. You could
also sponge in your background or brayer it. Remember, this is YOUR card!
2. Cut the stamped cardstock so that you have only an 1/8" on either side of it.
3. Layer the colored card onto a second piece of decorative cardstock cutting the
right side of of the cardstock approximately an inch wider than the other three
4. Punch two holes for the decorative brads and add them to the top two layers of
the cardstock. Add a few more layers by attaching them with your favorite choice
of glue, tape, Xyron adhesive, etc. cutting as you go until you are happy with your
choices. Just try to keep it small, easy and under 5 pounds.
The easier we make our life, the more joyful it will become. "KISS" - Keep It Simple, Silly or even Sunny - just make it yours!
As for me, first a good cup of coffee, a walk with my favorite puppy, and then off to the office to finish up an order or two and I will be able to call the day my own .... 4 steps .... that's all anyone needs !

I currently have two CUCM 7 servers which are in a single cluster, and located across a WAN. Each has it's own MTP registered with the primary CUCM. Right now, the secondary cucm's media streaming services are all located in their own media resource group called "Backup", so each CUCM uses the primary CUCM's Media devices (MTP is the one I'm most concerned with). Is it possible, through TRP, or some basic config on my CUCM's to force the use of the local MTP, regardless of which endpoint, trunk, or device the cucm is communicating with. I still want all of my devices to point to the default MRGL, but i want my secondary to use it's local MTP if it happens to get a call, instead of the MTP primary CUCM. I hope this makes sense...
I don't think this is possible with all devices using the same MRGL. Best practice is to create separate MRGLs for each location so that they will use local resources first and resources across the WAN if those are not available.
Therein lies the problem. The secondary, remote cucm is merely a backup system. All phones work from the primary, until it goes down. There is a possibility of an occasion where the primary cucm is up, but the calls will come into the secondary cucm. The secondary cucm is able to allocate the primary cucm's mtp devices, because it's still available, which will result in one way audio in my overly complex setup. It's not possible to split the config per server, because technically there is only one device to work with (sip trunk).
Ideally, I could set the "Default MRGL" sperately from the perspective of the cucm that was processing that particular call. Like a per server service parameter on the voice media streaming service, specifying the default mrgl, which could be over-ridden on a per device pool, then per device basis if need be. I.E. another step between the cluster wide default, and the per device pool config. Any cisco developers listening?

It’s important to know that vital records are kept by local authorities in every part of the county, and the courthouse has them available for public access.
In addition to the Superior Court, the County Courts also keep criminal and civil records. The Criminal Courts are responsible for prosecuting parties who break the law.

Price: $ 26,037
Dimensions: 23" x 63" x 44"
After working in the aviation industry for a number of years Golden, Colorado sculptor Pati Stajcar decided it was time to retire from the stresses of her vocation. She began to dabble in various mediums, found encouraging instructors and a supportive artistic community as she learned. Quickly sculpting became a profession and second career.
“I had always sketched and painted,” says the Pennsylvania native, “but after taking a decorative wood carving class, I turned the corner to three-dimensional work.”
She works primarily in wood, bronze and stone, and is now an established, accomplished sculptor whose work is displayed across the United States and beyond.
A member of numerous organizations – the National Sculptor Society, the Academic Artist Association and the Society of Animal Artists, among others – Stajcar’s distinctive animal studies have won multiple awards in all three of the mediums she excels in. Basking was recognized as a Best of Show II winner at the 2018 Sioux Falls, South Dakota Sculpturewalk show.
A larger-than-life depiction of her pet red-eared slider turtle named Rabbit, Stajcar sculpted him at a mature, distinguished 31 years of age. It is slightly longer than the average life span for a red-eared slider, which is the most common turtle in the United States and a favourite as a pet.
They are identified by a dab of colour where their middle ear is, and are poikilotherms – meaning they are unable to regulate their body temperatures independently – completely dependent on the temperature of their environment. So Stajcar’s endearing pose, head craned upward, front arms and claws spread widely, is exact and essential to Rabbit’s well being.
Equally, she sculpts the detail of the carapace, splayed back legs and tail with great attentiveness to detail. As a whole, it is a lovely homage to a special friend. Basking reflects her love and fondness for her subject, as do so many animal studies she’s created over the years.

A reader named Maria wrote, “Thought I’d share this cottage in the Swedish region of Dalarna where I just spent Christmas week with my family. The house is beautiful and in many ways reflects the traditional style of the region.” Not only is the cottage enchanting, but so are its surroundings…
It’s in the mountain community of Sälen in Dalarna County, Sweden, which is a popular alpine ski resort area near the Norwegian border.
A bit of trivia I can’t resist sharing: U2 filmed the video for their hit song “New Year’s Day” in Sälen in 1982, looking very cold (and young!) as they lipsynched in the snow. You can watch it on Vimeo:
This house is known as Avagården, and it’s currently on the market.
The listing explains (roughly translated), “The buildings on the property originally stood in Ava Parish in Nordmalingsfjärden in Västerbotten but were moved here more recently. The timbered house was built in the mid-1800s but finished here in 2007.”
This beautiful clock cabinet is an original feature from 1857, when the house was built:
Departures Magazine wrote about the house: “This four-bedroom home has its origins in the 19th century, though its current structure is relatively new, with completion in 2007. Priced at SEK 11.5 – EUR 1.2 million – this Alpine-like retreat offers around 160 square metres of living space, including three all-important wet rooms for winter and a large country kitchen.”
The agent says, “It’s a beautiful, luxurious accommodation with expansive views of nature for enjoyment of the mountains. Hjorton and sea buckthorn in late summer. Cranberries and mushrooms in autumn. Peaceful and quiet. Unwind from everyday life. Alpine skiing, horseback riding, fishing, cycling, and hiking.” Sounds good to me!
Check the Sotheby’s listing for more photos and information about Avagården.
I love learning about places like this from my readers in other countries. Thanks to Maria for sharing it with us! Looks like a special place to spend the winter holidays, doesn’t it?
My private blog is where I shared my Christmas photos this year. I’ll leave them up for a few weeks if you still want to see them. Hope to see you over there! 🙂

Board members troubled by rising school repair costs
The continuous patchwork approach for overall facility rehabilitation has some St. Landry Parish school board members worried about the sustainable costs of maintaining buildings that require upkeep at escalating prices.
That issue arose Thursday night when board members agreed to spend $1.49 million for new roofing at two schools in Eunice and another in Sunset while accepting a separate low bid of $191,000 to repair the roof at Grand Coteau Elementary.
Board member Milton Ambres questioned the decision to continue funding the numerous rehabilitation projects that he said seem to confront the district almost monthly.
More:St. Landry residents want their speed bumps back
“We’re continuing to put Band Aids on a gunshot wound,” Ambres said as the board unanimously approved a Building, Lands and Sites recommendation to expend the seven-figure cost.
Continuing to calculate the amounts needed to fix construction problems at the district’s 36 sites could have been solved earlier this year, said board member Hazel Sias, who reminded Ambres that the board voted down a proposal that would have closed several schools.
In April, Sias was among several board members who proposed a no-cost plan to shut down at least two campuses in Opelousas, one in Washington and another in Eunice, but that matter was defeated in a close 7-5 vote.
MORE ON THIS:School reconfiguration plans placed on hold
Sias said the reluctance to close the schools has come back to haunt the board, which is now faced with the reality of spending money from the capital outlay fund to repair old buildings.
“Those are the repercussions for doing what we failed to do, and now we’re just going to have to bite the bullet,” she said.
MORE NEWS:St. Landry Parish prepares to take over Head Start program
In addition to spending for new roofing, the board in June approved spending a yet undermined six-figure cost for tackling mold and water issues at the main Port Barre High classroom building.
The work on that project began early in July and is apparently ongoing.
Operations Director Claudia Blanchard said spending $1 million to fix the roofs at Eunice Elementary and Eunice Junior High was actually the most economical approach to solve the matter.
“We are repairing the three main buildings at Eunice Junior High and the contractor (Advantage Roofing) actually gave us the best price since we were combining all the projects together,” Blanchard said.
Placing a new roof on the main classroom building at Sunset Elementary will cost $392, 550, according to a BLS Committee report.
Blanchard said the district received eight bids for the $191,000 Grand Coteau Elementary roof. She said the costs of the Grand Coteau project were a bit surprising because they were about 12 percent higher than district officials initially anticipated.
None of the bids for Grand Coteau were placed by contractors from St. Landry Parish, Blanchard said.

Hamilton opens up on plans to remain in F1 ahead of 2023 season
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff labelled the Azerbaijan Grand Prix ‘boring’ after Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were both frustrated in Baku. The Silver Arrows pair struggled to overtake their rivals as Sergio Perez sealed a comfortable win to extend Red Bull’s early season dominance.
Hamilton spent the latter stages of the race hunting down Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz in fifth, finishing less than a second behind the Spaniard.
But even despite being within DRS range, the seven-time world champion couldn’t pass Sainz and had to settle for sixth.
Russell endured similar annoyance behind Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll before eventually giving up the chase to pit for soft tyres and set the fastest lap for an extra point.
In the 2023 race in Baku, 100m was removed from the DRS zone, which seemingly led to fewer overtakes than in previous years.
And Wolff has called on F1 to explore ways to improve the entertainment factor of the sport in future.
Sergio Perez wins Azerbaijan GP as Hamilton and Russell struggle[REPORT]
He told reporters: “There was no overtaking, even with a big pace difference. It made it not great entertainment.
“We have to analyse the weekend with the sprint format, whether there’s positives we can take out.
“In the end, it all comes down to racing. It needs the tough battles, and I think the highlight you could see yesterday was George and Max being able to battle it out, and today there was none of that.
“Even if you were within 0.2 seconds, it was very difficult to overtake. It was nearly impossible to overtake unless the other driver made a mistake. We need to really look at it and how we can make it better.
Lewis Hamilton told Azerbaijan GP will be ‘even tougher'[QUOTES]
FIA investigate scary incident as Verstappen continues Russell feud[LATEST]
Mercedes boss Wolff has Leclerc ‘on his radar’ among Hamilton doubts[NEWS]
“Not how we can make it better… We need to look at how we can avoid just a boring race. I’m not sure that 100m more DRS would have made a difference.”
The most entertainment involving a Mercedes driver on race weekend came a day before the Grand Prix when Russell engaged in a verbal spat with Max Verstappen.
The young duo touched on the first lap of Saturday’s sprint race, leaving Verstappen unhappy with Russell before unleashing his fury after they exited their cars.
Hamilton and Russell’s sixth and eighth-place finishes leave Mercedes third in the constructors’ standings behind Red Bull and Aston Martin.

Today I want to take this opportunity to explain a bit about how Jupiter thinks about manufacturing and what our general approach is when we embark on this often complicated task. To start, it’s important to note that you are in control of your product and who manufactures it so the ultimate decision rests with you when making your product. We do try to make your life a little easier and, hopefully, lower risk by offering help via our manufacturers and partners. You can choose to have us help you with that or do it yourself. Totally up to you.
Here is the general process we follow with our clients when sourcing the manufacturing of a product:
1. Final Design Files
Before approaching any manufacturers, it is critical to have manufacture ready files. Our experience has taught us that most manufacturers will either not give quotes or will not expedite quotes on products that are not in final form when they arrive on their desk. Having files that are ready for manufacturing means that the product they represent is in final form (i.e. the line has been drawn in product tweaking & testing, and no more changes are intended to be made to the product), they are in the right file format (Solidworks, vector art files, CAD, etc.), and the files have been tested and modified for ease of manufacturing.
2. Set Pricing Goals
Identify what price the product is expected to begin selling at retail so we have a direction in navigating quality, materials, costs, and how the product is made. In general, you should expect the landed product cost (in your warehouse) to be no more than 25% of the MSRP of your product. For example, a group planning to sell a $100 MSRP product should budget for the wholesale price to be ~$50 (50% of MSRP) and the product cost to be ~$25 (50% of wholesale or 25% of MSRP). It might sound ludacris at first (and make you second guess ever paying full price for anything) but most products follow this general cost structure with some variation.
3. Determine the Appropriate Order Quantity
This issue seems to frequently be a challenge with new entrepreneurs seeking to make a physical product. It is important to remember that the tooling (manufacturing setup) and moldings required for most products are generally not cheap and, with many Asian manufacturers, usually costs at least a couple thousand dollars. Molds made in China typically cost anywhere from $5,000 to $75,000 depending on complexity and the number of parts. Having the same tooling and molds created in the U.S. often costs 2x-4x those amounts. With this being the case, it is important to keep in mind that most Asian manufacturers require a minimum order quantity that ensures that they make gross revenues of at least $10,000 so it is worth the hassle for them to start (most domestic manufacturers will insist on orders much larger). This typically entails a minimum order quantity (MoQ) of at least one thousand to ten thousand units on the first run.
4. Obtain Quotes for Manufacturing
This step can often be one of the longest to accomplish because it requires us to rely on outside parties to review and provide feedback. Jupiter Design has great relationships with groups in China, Taiwan, several European countries, and the U.S. that we typically rely on when obtaining quotes. Most of these manufacturers and agents are groups that we have done extensive business with so we usually get expedited treatment and favorable pricing. If you decide to obtain quotes on your own, you should be sensitive to their reputation and your ability to trust the group you are giving your product to. “Trust but verify” is a good strategy when it comes to building these relationships so it is important to know who you are dealing with.
5. Begin Sampling Process
After you receive a quote that will work for you, it is time to have some samples made by the manufacturer. There tend to be two types of samples made during this time, the first is a rough and, if applicable, a 3D printed sample from the manufacturer that helps them confirm the manufacturability and that the design is correct. The second type is a first shot from the actual molds created for the product. These first shot samples are often rough and are prior to the final polishing of the mold so modifications can be made to the mold if necessary. Once sampling is completed and approved by you, you are ready to have them begin manufacturing.
6. Manufacturing Payments
Payments for manufacturing tends to be in stages with 25%-50% of the invoice due prior to starting and the balance due prior to shipment of the goods. These terms are especially the case for Asian manufacturers because they often are not willing to wait for a shipment to be picked up from their warehouse and transported over the ocean to your warehouse prior to receiving payments (often a multi-month shipping process). In these situations, it is particularly important to rely on videos and photos of the products to ensure they are what you expect them to be. The groups we work with want to you to be happy with your order so you order again. Everyone is motivated to get it right. As long as communication is open and clear, things are generally smooth in this process.
7. Shipping & Logistics
You are responsible for the shipping and warehousing of your product. There are many great options available to you and we recommend developing a relationship with one of the larger carriers (UPS or FedEx or both) as they have business rates for individual parcels, freight services for truckloads, and import/export services to help you arrange ocean or air freight around the world. Warehousing is often best done as cheaply as possible at first until you know what your turnover will be. Many of our clients use their own storage facility and then replenish a fulfillment house (Amazon, Corporate Disk, retail distribution centers, and other fulfillment service providers) as needed.
8. Quality Control
As you go through the process of providing instructions and feedback to the manufacturer, it is important to be clear about what areas are particularly critical to the success of your product. Often, if an area or part is identified as being critical, it is possible to get added checks or steps included in the manufacturing process to ensure that it has been checked multiple times for correctness and problems are caught before shipment. You will often never be able to have 100% perfection with each piece that is made but, with quality control measures, it is usually expected to be able to have defective units kept to below 1% of the units made. Usually, defects are tracked during the first run and reported to the manufacturer so corrections are made for the second run to ensure better consistency.
These are just a few of the high-level issues that are important to consider when planning for your new product. Creating something new is always challenging but the outcome is often rewarding. We are here to help in that process so you can avoid many of the common mistakes and, with some hard work, realize the success we all want to achieve.


If you are planning to buy Prime Video subscription then in this post i am going to review the Prime Video that whether it’s worth buying or not.
Not being a member of Amazon Prime, you probably wonder if it’s worth it. Prime Video is an over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service that’s included in your Amazon Prime membership.
Amazon Prime video may not be on top of the OTP platform’s list yet, but it features plenty of critically acclaimed and award-winning original series of high quality in its own right, establishing itself as one of the giant streaming platforms.
If you are not a Prime member, you can buy or rent content from Amazon on a pay-per-title basis or sign up for a separate subscription to Prime Video, which gives you access to the streaming service only.
Additionally, the platform offers a handful of ad-supported channels that are free for you to view, although you will have to endure periodic commercial breaks during each show.
Amazon first entered the instant video space under the name Amazon Unbox in 2006, and it was later rebranded in 2011 as Amazon Instant Video.
In 2012, the service acquired pay-TV channel Epix and merged with Amazon’s UK subsidiary, LoveFilm, in 2014. Amazon disclosed it has over 200 million paid Prime members worldwide by the end of the first quarter of the 2021 earnings call.
What can you watch on Prime video?
1. Amazon originals: Movies & Series
Though Amazon video originally served as a platform to purchase and watch content, it has evolved and embraced the idea of streaming unlimited movies and TV shows on a subscription basis.
The original series includes Emmy-Award winning The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; fan-favorite superhero show The Boys, critically acclaimed dystopian alternate history series The Man in the High Castle; a sci-fi comedy Upload; crime thriller Bosc and many more.
Besides, in the interest of bracing for Disney’s entry into the streaming service industry, Amazon Video has invested in series that have won over strong brand recognition, like the forthcoming Lord of the Rings series.
The original movie lineup is smaller, and that’s where it lags behind its counterparts like Netflix and Disney plus; but that’s beginning to change.
Amazon has made significant investments in its film production, acquiring ambitious movies like The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, and the Borat Subsequent Movie film.

Prime Video’s library has plenty to choose from if you want more than just Amazon’s original. Its library includes a sheer volume of popular movies, with about 13,000 titles, which offers a range of content from classic to current.
The Library groups movie collections and helps its users with helpful categories like “Award Winners” and “New Releases” so that viewers can conveniently find movies based on their preferences.
You can find critically and commercially acclaimed movies like Knives Out, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Moneyball, Donnie Darko, Inception, Zodiac, and many more.
Without a doubt, Prime videos include more movies than any other platform, but when you filter for quality, it is in line or below par with them. Furthermore, despite having a Prime membership, you will need to pay to watch some films on Prime Video.
Prime Video TV Shows
In addition to the original TV series, Prime video offers a large section of top-quality shows that were produced elsewhere. The list includes shows such as Mr. Robot, Hannibal, and Burn Notice.
However, multiple shows such as Veronica Mars, The X-Files, and Justified are not found in Prime video now. Several other HBO and NBC shows have left or will be leaving the service soon as well.
Though there are many shows, Prime video again comes behind Netflix and Hulu when it comes to quality, but with this lineup, Amazon Prime video is surely giving stiff competition to other streaming companies.
If you’re sifting through zillions of film selections, you’ll find the best documentaries are on par with Hollywood blockbusters.
The growing selection of documentary films available on Amazon reflects Amazon’s continuing competition with Netflix to provide an array of captivating choices to its viewers.
Prime Video does a decent job by providing time and attention-worthy documentaries like Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In, That Sugar Film, Hamilton: One Shot to Broadway, and One Child Nation.
Amazon Prime Video does not offer much in the way of anime and cartoons, but the company does offer an extensive list of animated kid’s shows.
With Netflix and Hulu expanding their anime offerings, Amazon is stepping up its efforts to compete. Despite Amazon Prime’s reputation as a mediocre anime service, the streaming service has created a respectable mix of classics and brand-news shows that are low-key and impressive.
Pokémon, Naruto, Akira, Evangelion: 3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon a Time are some of the notable anime you can choose to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
As with other video streaming services, Amazon Prime Video also allows users to subscribe to different content providers for a monthly fee.
The options are Cinemax ($9.99), Showtime ($8.99), PBS Documentaries ($5.99), and Starz ($8.99). The Prime Channels can be accessed by Amazon Prime Video subscribers only; standalone Prime Video subscribers cannot add this content.
In terms of sports streaming services, Amazon Prime Video is mainly recognized for delivering WNBA games, Thursday Night Football, and select Yankees games for New York residents.
You can also add several sports-oriented channels to your subscription, such as NBA League Pass, Paramount+, and PGA Tour Live.
How much does Prime Video cost?
Typically, people sign up for Amazon Prime to gain access to Amazon’s library of movies and TV shows. But as we mentioned, that’s not the only way.
The company does not actively promote Amazon Video memberships, but you can opt for one to access the company’s video content.
With an Amazon Prime membership, the Prime Video service costs $12.99 for a month or $119 for a year. If you only want Prime Video, you can sign up for it for $8.99 per month without any of Prime’s other perks.
College and university students in the United States can save 50% on Amazon Prime if they subscribe through Prime Student. Similarly, Amazon also offers discounts to EBT and Medicaid cardholders. Here are the complete details of each price and plan.
|Standalone Amazon Prime Video
|Amazon Video (for students)

Prime Video Features
The unique X-Ray feature of Prime Video gives it an edge over other streaming services. Thanks to Amazon’s ownership of IMDb, users can scroll to find music playing, cast members, and trivia information as you watch a show or movie — minimizing the need for general queries.
This also helps you get live score updates, player information, and more. You can easily access this standout feature on devices such as iOS and Android phones, tablets, and Fire TV remotes.
There is the added benefit of Prime Video being ad-free. Although you will likely see a brief advertisement for an Amazon Original prior to watching a show, the streaming service does not run advertising once started. Only IMDb TV has some free, ad-supported shows from popular network shows.
Amazon Video allows you to stream three videos simultaneously per account, but you can only stream the same title on two devices at once.
That’s better compared to Netflix, considering its stream limitation to one screen for its basic plan and two devices for its standard plan.
You have to go for Netflix’s premium plan for 4 simultaneous streaming, which is pricier as compared to Prime video. The service also beats Hulu’s single-stream limit.
You can download the Prime Video app on your mobile device, tablet, or a compatible computer running Windows 10.
Talking about the mobile app interface, it looks exactly like the site’s interface, though scaled-down.
Users have the option of having multiple profiles with distinct recommendations, such as a kid’s profile to keep things PG-rated.
You can also use the excellent search function if you are tired of browsing the vast array of categorized content.
Amazon Prime Video is one of the few streaming services that make it possible to download movies to watch offline.
That means you don’t have to worry if you are somewhere without an internet connection. Amazon Video allows you to download up to 25 titles to devices like phones and tablets at any given time.
However, you can only download a title to more than two devices at the same time, just as with simultaneous streams.
4K and HDR content
What’s more satisfying than a service that delivers a noticeable and impressive picture quality improvement? A number of advanced audio and video formats are supported by Prime Video, including 4K Ultra HD, HDR, and Dolby Atmos.
You may need a high broadband speed and 4K UHD streaming device and display that supports the format.
Rent or buy
Among Prime Video’s many features is a “Rent or Buy” section, where you can rent and buy both newer and older movies at a lower price, though distinguishing the content that’s free to stream and the one that has to be purchased can be hard sometimes.
Movie rentals through Prime Video can be as low as $2.99 for older titles and as high as $19.99 for recent theatrical releases.
Profiles & Parental control
You can also create up to five user profiles within Prime Video and set up parental controls based on content ratings with a PIN. With different profiles, you don’t have to worry much about finding content based on your past viewing history.
Like other streaming services, Prime video offers parental controls to restrict inappropriate content for your kids. After all, you don’t want your kiddies to see the ultra-violent superhero shows, even if it’s a cartoon.
Prime video UI (user interface)
The user interface of Amazon Prime video is similar to other streaming services. You can find tabs for home, movies, TV shows, Kids, download your watchlist, and search on the left side of your device’s screen.
You can also find personalized categories like TV shows and movies as per your viewing history, making it easier to navigate.
However, Amazon Prime library’s user interface can be confusing at times. There are many titles on Prime Video’s menu screen that aren’t included in a subscription.
There is a chance that it will get frustrating if you don’t want to pay separately for each episode or movie. To be honest, the video service’s homepage cannot compete with Netflix or HBO Max’s minimal aesthetic, although it looks decent.
Accessibility & Compatibility
Prime Video was initially available to only limited countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Austria.
However, it has extended its service worldwide except in North Korea, mainland China, Syria, and Iran. Talking about the content, some country has access to only a fraction of the US Amazon Prime library, but you can use a VPN to unblock those contents.
When it comes to compatibility, Amazon Prime video is compatible with a wide range of streaming devices, including TVs from major brands, Blu-ray players, media players, games consoles, set-top boxes, and of course, mobile devices (iOS & Android), laptops and PC. Here’s the complete list of supported devices;
- Android phones, tablets
- iPhone, iPad
- PC, Mac web browsers
- Game consoles (Xbox One, PlayStation, Wii)
- Streaming devices (Chromecast Apple TV, Rokus, Fire TV)
- Smart TVs (TCL, Samsung, Sony, Philips, Vizio)
- Blu-Ray Players (Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, LG)
Does Amazon Prime Video offer a free trial?
You get a free 30-day trial, which means you can take advantage of Prime Video for the month. Consider trying it out free for a month first if you’re unsure whether you’ll like it, especially if you are unsure whether you’ll sign up.
A week-long free trial of Showtime’s add-on is also available, so you can test out even more of Prime Video and its add-ons.

Is paying for Prime video worth it?
Netflix still dominates the game with its sheer volume of quality shows and movies compared to Prime Video’s small portfolio of original content. Furthermore, it doesn’t have the contiguity like other services, which stream content instantly after being broadcasted.
Nonetheless, Prime Video is still a good option for TV shows and movies, especially if you are a movie buff. Additionally, the growing collection of original Amazon content has proven to be a big draw – especially since every show is free of ads. The option of 4K HDR is also another appealing factor to those with 4K TVs.
In case you aren’t sure which streaming service to choose, why not try both. Many people these days use multiple streaming services. With a few different streaming services, you can make sure you don’t miss any of the great original content available, and you’ll always have access to classic movies and shows you love.

A26-year-old Indian woman was allegedly scammed out of Rs. 3.64 Lakh (£3,600) by a man who posed as a potential groom from the UK.
According to Bhandup Police, the woman was contacted online on January 18, 2023, by a man who identified himself as a member of the social media organization, United Kingdom Marriage Bureau, to which she was also subscribed to.
The apparent groom said his name was Rahul Khanna and told the woman that he was working in the UK passport office.
In a statement, police said: “They later started chatting on WhatsApp and that man told her that his mother liked her a lot and they could get married soon.
“The man then told the complainant that he was sending a gift to his sister for her birthday along with a gift for the complainant as well.
“The gift packet, he said, contained the latest iPhone, some US dollars and a few clothes.”
Afterwards, a “courier firm” began calling the woman and demanding that she pay customs duty.
She was informed that the parcel will get to her in a few hours once she paid the requested sum.
But the courier company called her again within an hour, saying that the item had been discovered by the authorities and that she would need to pay them because it included a significant amount of US dollars.
The woman agreed to pay the sum of money.
Police statements added: “She was later asked for more money in the name of currency exchange charges.
“After paying the demanded amount, the woman again received a call claiming that the vehicles carrying the parcel had a breakdown.
“The woman paid for the vehicle repair charges as well.”
She got a call two days later requesting her to pay tax on the newly imported iPhone.
A policeman stated: “After this, Khanna called the complainant and told her that he had lost all his money to the fraud associates of the courier firm executive.
“He told her that the Indian authorities had decided to send the parcel back to the UK and that would be a problem for him as he had not informed his family about sending gifts to her.
“As the woman was unwilling to pay the amount, she was asked to pay half the amount on February 15. She accordingly paid the amount in three transactions.”
Later, the woman realized she had been scammed by the supposed groom and reported the fraud to the police.
The police concluded: “We have registered an offence and written to mobile network companies and banks to get details to get the location of the accused.”

Wednesday, September 4, 2013
Unemployment Insurance also known as Unemployment benefits, unemployment compensation, or the dole are social welfare payments made by the state or other authorized bodies to unemployed people. Benefits may be based on a compulsory para-governmental insurance system. Depending on the jurisdiction and the status of the person, those sums may be small, covering only basic needs, or may compensate the lost time proportionally to the previous earned salary.
Unemployment benefits are generally given only to those registering as unemployed, and often on conditions ensuring that they seek work and do not currently have a job.
In some countries, a significant proportion of unemployment benefits are distributed by trade/labour unions, an arrangement known as the Ghent system.
The idea of unemployment insurance in the United States originated in Wisconsin in 1932. There are about 50 state unemployment insurance programs plus one each in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and United States Virgin Islands. Through the Social Security Act of 1935, the federal government of the United States effectively encouraged the individual states to adopt unemployment insurance plans.
Are you eligible?
People that are out of work who do not qualify for unemployment insurance include part-time, temporary, and self-employed workers, and school graduates.
Here are reasons unemployment benefits would be declined:
1. not being able or available to work
2. voluntary separation from work without a good cause
3. discharge connected to misconduct
4. refusal of suitable work
5. unemployment resulting from a labor dispute
6. Failing a drug test
7. Committing fraud
8. Receiving severance pay
9. Getting freelance assignments
Generally, the worker must be unemployed through no fault of his/her own. The unemployed person must also meet state requirements for wages earned or time worked during an established period of time (referred to as a “base period”) to be eligible for benefits. In most states, the base period is usually the first four out of the last five completed calendar quarters prior to the time that the claim is filed. Unemployment benefits are based on reported covered quarterly earnings. The amount of earnings and the number of quarters worked are used to determine the length and value of the unemployment benefit. The average weekly payment is $293.
As a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed by Congress in February 2009, many unemployed people can receive up to 99 weeks of unemployment benefits; this may depend on State legislation. Before the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the maximum number of weeks allowed was 26.
Quitting does not automatically disqualifies you from unemployment compensation. You can quit and still get benefits.
Maximum weekly benefits range from a low of about $200 in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Dakota and Arizona to a high of about $600 in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington.
Whether you can quit and still qualify for unemployment benefits also varies from state to state. So before you quit, check the laws in your state.
If you quit because your employer basically leaves you no other option, you may still be able to collect unemployment benefits. Here are some reasons for quitting that may fall into this category:
1. Lack of work. If your employer stops giving you work, or cuts your hours severely, you’ll probably still qualify for unemployment benefits. Some employers try this as a trick to avoid paying increased premiums. Apply anyway.
2. Constructive discharge. If working conditions are so intolerable that no reasonable person would stay, you may have been constructively discharged, which means that unemployment will treat quitting the same as if you were fired without cause. Constructive discharge is really tough to prove, so make sure your situation is severe before you quit. Sexual harassment, dangerous working conditions that the company won’t fix, or demanding that you participate in illegal activities may justify quitting and still qualify you for unemployment. Demotion, changes in job duties and pay cuts may also be constructive discharge.
3. Medical reasons. In some states, having a medical condition that keeps you from working won’t disqualify you. In others, it will, or you might not qualify unless work caused or aggravated the medical condition.
4. Domestic violence. Some states allow employees who must quit because of domestic violence to qualify for unemployment benefits.
5 .Caring for a family member who is ill. Some states allow employees who must quit to care for a seriously ill family member to qualify.

From Truthout: http://www.truth-out.org/us-uncuts-anti-austerity-protests-start-small-strong-against-bank-america68108
by: Alissa Bohling, t r u t h o u t | Report
Monday 28 February 2011
Anna Becker looks tired. Becker is leaning against the brick wall beside the entrance to Bank of America’s Pearl District branch in Portland, Oregon, where one of over 50 nationwide protests by US Uncut has been underway for nearly two hours.
But Becker, a retired teacher, is just as energized as the protesters at the front of the crowd of about 60, who spill into the street and draw long, loud honks from the stream of cars driving toward the Willamette River.
“I have been waiting for 20 years for something like this to happen in America,” says Becker. The words she has spoken in private for years are now plastered onto the canary yellow poster board she holds up like a shield: “B of A is al-Qaeda: financial terrorists.”
Bank of America (B of A) is the first corporation to be targeted by US Uncut, the transatlantic offspring of the United Kingdom-based anti-austerity group UK Uncut, which held its first demonstration to protest corporate tax evasion in late 2010.
As a voice at the megaphone of the Portland protest said, “The United States does not have a deficit problem. The United States has a revenue problem.” According to a 2008 report by the Government Accountability Office, 25 percent of the biggest corporations pay no federal income tax. B of A, the recipient of $45 billion in bailout funds, shuttles its would-be tax dollars into 115 offshore tax havens. Meanwhile, budget deficits are cited as justification for pay freezes for public workers and cuts to heating assistance programs, Social Security, and other social safety nets.
“The $3 in my wallet is more than ExxonMobil, GE and Bank of America paid in taxes last year, combined,” said Carl Gibson, founder of the first American Uncut group, US Uncut Mississippi, in a release prior to the February 26 protests.
