Published at Friday, 14 September 2018. Stair. By Florentine Brugmann.
Stair lifts are devices that are attached to the treads of staircases to safely move someone who is elderly or disabled up or down the stairs. They consist of a track, usually made of aluminum, a chair attached to the track, and the electronic controls that make the chair move up or down the track. Stair lifts are powered by alternating current (AC), which is hooked up to the household electrical system, or with direct current (DC), which uses a battery that recharges from the household electrical system, and does not require use of home electricity to work properly.
The best method which works is the rack and pinion method. The drawbacks of the other methods are the one which uses cable is a lot more expensive while the one driven by chain creates sound while pulling the chair. The stair lift rental works with the help of a button. You just need to sit in the chair and press the button and it will take you up the stairs. The stairs are one of the most important parts of any household. It serves as the heart of any house since it connects all its parts and makes it distinguished from other houses. There are different kinds of stairs like spiral, straight or curved but all of these have the same things in common. They have the same purpose and the same stair parts.
Proper stair design has a maximum rise of eight inches, a minimum run of nine inches and a minimum tread width of 9.25 inches. A safe and properly configured stairway should be at 34 inches wide. As a rule the wider steps are safer then narrow stairs. There needs to be adequate headroom above the set of stairs. The required headroom is at least 6 foot 6 inches. When there is a door at the top of a set of steps, it should open away from the stairs for safety reasons. If a door opens toward the stairs a landing is needed so a person opening the door will not be able to push someone on the stairs.

SJEC hosts International Conference on the Plurality of Fundamental Labour Rights Enforcement Mechanisms
On 22 April 2016, the Social Justice Expertise Center (SJEC) hosted the first global conference for international labour law judges and other adjudicators themed ‘Ensuring Coherence in Fundamental Labour Rights Case Law: Challenges and Opportunities’ at the Academy Building of the University of Leiden.
Participants representing various international (judicial) organizations convened to share their knowledge, expertise and experience as well as to discuss issues associated with diverging labour rights enforcement systems.
The conference was chaired by Professor Paul van der Heijden in his capacity as the chairperson of SJEC. After welcome remarks by the Dean of Leiden Law School, Professor Rick Lawson, Professor Van der Heijden opened the substantive part of the conference with a presentation on the ever growing number of (quasi-) judicial bodies that are currently in charge of monitoring the implementation and enforcement of fundamental labour rights and principles. He stressed the importance of looking for solutions to tackle possible drawbacks of the fragmented interpretation of international labour law. He relayed the goal of the conference to the participants, which was to add to a better understanding of the plurality of labour law enforcement mechanisms as well as think of ways to ensure a coherent interpretation of fundamental labor rights.
Subsequently, Judge Dean Spielmann, former president of the European Court of Human Rights, delivered the first keynote address on the ‘Proliferation of Fundamental Labor Rights Enforcement Mechanisms: Contemporary Discourse and Institutional Challenges – the Contribution of the European Court of Human Rights’. He noted that the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has brought about a common understanding and observance of human rights among the member states of the Council of Europe. He further shared that the ECtHR has a tradition of regarding the jurisprudence of the European Committee on Social Rights to be highly authoritative. Judge Spielmann’s presentation was followed by an intervention from Professor Janice Bellace of the University of Pennsylvania who discussed the sometimes precarious application of human rights at the workplace and asserted that employees only really have bargaining power if they engage in collective bargaining.
Following the plenary session, participants were divided into two working groups. The first focused on the right to strike and was chaired by Professor Monika Schlachter, Vice-president of the European Committee of Social Rights. Professor Schlachter discussed whether social rights could benefit from more coherent international standards using the right to strike as an illustration.
The second working group centered on discrimination at the workplace and was chaired by Professor Titia Loenen of the University of Leiden. The debate revolved around the issue of wearing religious symbols at work in the public sector, with focus on the diverging legal approaches. French legislation does not permit the wearing of religious symbols at work in the public sector but it is permissible in the United Kingdom as long as there is an equal opportunity to do so. German legislation takes an intermediate approach.
Following the two morning working groups, Professor Niklas Bruun, Member of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, delivered the second keynote address. He stressed the importance of interpreting fundamental labor rights in a dynamic way ─relying on the Vienna Convention on the Law of treaties─ in order to achieve social justice. He advanced that there is a real risk that the ILO ownership of ILO instruments is endangered through increased plurality in combination with undermined legitimacy of the ILO authoritative interpretations. He further called for the establishment of a tribunal for the interpretation of ILO provisions in accordance with Article 31 (2) of the ILO Constitution. Responding to Professor Bruun, Dr. Claire La Hovary, University of Glasgow, further elaborated on the legal and political impediments to the establishment of such an in-house tribunal within the ILO although a tribunal could enhance legal predictability and clarity.
The parallel working groups that followed were chaired by Professor Brian Langille of the University of Toronto and Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine, former Commission of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights respectively. Professor Langille, in his presentation on the theme ‘Legal Interpretation and the Right to Strike’ discussed how an effective application of fundamental labor rights can be secured through legal interpretation. In particular, Professor Langille clarified the distinction between rights/duties and freedoms. Presenting at the alternate working group, Professor Antoine discussed the approach of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to interpreting fundamental labor rights from an international human rights perspective. She, for instance, referred to the use of indicators as a benchmark by the Commission in determining whether a member state has complied with specific human rights obligations.
The afternoon plenary conference presentation was delivered Judge François Biltgen of the Court of Justice of the European Union who spoke about the interpretation of fundamental labor rights by the Court. More specifically, he focused on the interplay between fundamental economic freedoms and fundamental labor rights as well as the direct horizontal effects of EU Directives. Judge Biltgen discussed that the case law of the Court of the Justice has often inspired the EU legislator to adopt secondary legislation on a number of labor issues. He called for more recognition for the contribution of the Court of Justice to the development of fundamental labor rights.
The conference ended with a Q&A session chaired by Professor van der Heijden and with closing remarks by Professor Lawson. The Social Justice Expertise Center will now work on publishing the proceedings from the conference.

Even before the Corona Virus broke out, something equally deadly was already in the air here in Nigeria. It has taken lots of lives and is still taking more if not properly managed. It is called Lassa Fever.
What is Lassa Fever?
Lassa fever is a major public health challenge in West Africa, with Nigeria bearing the highest burden. It is an Acute Viral Haemorrhagic Fever (VHF) caused by the Lassa virus. The natural reservoir for the virus is the Mastomys Natalensis rodent (commonly known as the multi-mammate rat). Other rodents that carry the virus have also been identified.
Epidemiological data show that Lassa fever occurs throughout the year, but more cases are recorded during the dry season i.e. November through May.
Descriptions of the disease date from the 1950s. The virus was first described in 1969 from a case in the town of Lassa, in Borno State, Nigeria. Lassa fever is relatively common in West Africa including the countries of Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Ghana. There are about 300,000 to 500,000 cases which result in 5,000 deaths a year.
An outbreak of Lassa fever occurred in Nigeria during 2018 and spread to 18 of the country’s states; it was the largest outbreak of Lassa recorded. As of February 25, 2018, there were 1081 suspected cases and 90 reported deaths; 317 of the cases and 72 deaths were confirmed as Lassa-induced deaths.
What are the symptoms of Lassa Fever?
The early stages of Lassa fever present initially like other febrile illness such as malaria. Symptoms of the disease generally include fever, headache, sore throat, general body weakness, cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle pains, chest pain, and in severe cases; unexplainable bleeding from ears, eyes, nose, mouth, vagina, anus and other body orifices. It could also present as persistent bleeding from sites of intravenous cannulation.
The incubation period (time between an infection and appearance of symptoms of the disease) is 3 to 21 days. Early diagnosis and treatment increase the chances of survival.
How is it spread?
1. Direct contact with urine, faeces, saliva or blood of infected rodents.
2. Ingesting food and drinks contaminated with urine, faeces, saliva or blood of infected rats.
3. Contact with objects, household items or surfaces contaminated with urine, faeces, saliva or blood of infected rats.
4. Person-to-person transmission can also occur through contact with blood, urine, faeces, vomit and other body fluids of an infected person, particularly in a hospital environment where infection prevention and control practices are not optimal.
Prevention and Treatment:
Control of the Mastomys rodent population is impractical, so measures focus on keeping rodents out of homes and food supplies, encouraging effective personal hygiene, storing grain and other foodstuffs in rodent-proof containers, and disposing of garbage far from the home to help sustain clean households. Gloves, masks, laboratory coats, and goggles are advised while in contact with an infected person, to avoid contact with blood and body fluids. These issues in many countries are monitored by a department of public health. In less developed countries, these types of organizations may not have the necessary means to effectively control outbreaks.
There is also no vaccine for humans to treat Lassa Fever as of 2019. Researchers at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases facility had a promising vaccine candidate in 2002. They have developed a replication-competent vaccine against Lassa virus based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus vectors expressing the Lassa virus glycoprotein. After a single intramuscular injection, tested primates have survived lethal challenge, while showing no clinical symptoms.
Treatment is directed at addressing dehydration and improving symptoms. All persons suspected of Lassa fever infection should be admitted to isolation facilities and their body fluids and excreta properly disposed of.
For medications, the antiviral medication ribavirin has been recommended, but evidence to support its use is weak. Some evidence has found that it may worsen outcomes in certain cases. Fluid replacement, blood transfusions, and medication for low blood pressure may be required. Intravenous interferon therapy has also been used.
The national guidelines for Lassa fever case management and Infection prevention and control are available on the NCDC website for download (http://ncdc.gov.ng/diseases/guidelines).
Please report all suspected cases of Lassa fever to your Local Government Area Disease Surveillance and Notification Officer (DSNO). They are the first link to response and care for Lassa fever cases in Nigeria.

Craven County seniors graduate this week
This week, high schools throughout the east are beginning graduation ceremonies. Although graduations may look different because of COVID-19, school leaders are still finding a way to give students a special experience.
New Bern High School in Craven County gave students a hybrid graduation- which means students still got to walk across the stage to receive their diplomas but individually and with social distancing in mind.
Each student was allowed to bring four family members with them.
This graduation was certainly different than in years past, but the seniors say having an in-person graduation made them feel special and it gave them the opportunity to reconnect with some of their classmates one last time.
Graduating senior Zharia Moore said, "It's amazing to me because we at least get to have something, it's better than doing it where we can't even see anybody, i didn't think we were actually going to be together so i think that's the good part about it."
The school took pictures and video of each mini graduation and will be putting them all together for a complete graduation video that will be played next week.

GLENDALE It was one of the biggest highlight-reel moments of the season, and it came courtesy of an unusual suspect.
Torrey Mitchells goal with less than two seconds left in the second period in Dallas was dazzling. The forward, who has scored just seven times this year in 61 games, received a pass from the neutral zone from Joe Thornton with the clock winding down and the visitors trailing by a goal. He cut to his right, and then quickly shifted his weight the other direction in making defenseman Alex Goligoski look foolish. He finished it off with a sneaky short-side backhand that beat goaltender Kari Lehtonen.
RELATED: Top plays from the Sharks-Stars game
Dont really have an explanation, it just worked out, Mitchell said on Friday about his goal. It felt good, and that was obviously a timely goal at the end of the period.
The Sharks seemingly carried the momentum into the third period, taking their first lead just 25 seconds after the faceoff on Patrick Marleaus 27th of the season, before the disappointing end.
But the loss doesnt diminish the fact that Mitchell, who has two goals in the last three games, seems re-invigorated on a line with newcomers Daniel Winnik and Dominic Moore.
RECAP: Sharks' effort improves, but result the same
That line is starting to feel comfortable with each other. There are some good pieces there speedy pieces, good defensive pieces. Theyve been able to chip in offensively, and I like the way the three of them have been playing, Todd McLellan said.
New blood often brings new energy, and not necessarily with those players themselves. Mitchell seems to sincerely enjoy playing with his new linemates, and it shows.
Theyre doing a good job, theyre easy to play with, theyre fun to play with, and they have a lot of energy. We obviously have a lot of guys pushing for the third line role, too, so its keeping us honest and keeping us showing up every night, knowing we basically have to fight for our position. Its been good for us, and its been good for me.
Thats led to an uptick in production on the scoresheet, but theres more to it than that. Hes gaining the confidence of his head coach, who scratched him from the lineup on two separate occasions, most recently on Feb. 21 at Columbus.
Two situations this year where hes come out of the lineup, and hes done what a good player will do. Hes responded, McLellan said. Now, a real good player is going to maintain that. Hes getting that opportunity now, and I think Torrey Mitchell is a real good player. Lets see if he can do it, and maintain it.
It appears that McLellan is happy with that trios defensive play, too. Winnik, although he has yet to score, has been solid in his own zone and along the boards. Moore is also playing well as the center on that line, which lately, has been drawing the assignment of keeping the oppositions top line at bay.
At home, where McLellan has the last change, they were out there against Edmonton's dangerous Jordan Eberle-Sam Gagner-Taylor Hall line. On Thursday against the Stars, Mike Ribeiro, Michael Ryder and Loui Eriksson entered with a combined 31 points in the last eight games, but had trouble generating offense while matched up primarily against that line.
Mitchell embraces that challenge.
You want to be careful, because you want to stay on your toes and contribute offensively as well. But obviously, if thats our role for that game is to shut down that other teams top line, then thats fun for us, Mitchell said. Its exciting going into the game knowing you have an opportunity to shut down Gagner, or whoever it may be. Its good. I like that. Its fun.


Her Majesty the Queen could spend Christmas away from Sandringham for the first time in 33 years, thanks to the ongoing effects of the covid-19 pandemic.
The Queen and Prince Philip are not expected to return to Sandringham for Christmas this year as the global pandemic continues to wreak havoc on festive plans up and down the country.
Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh recently returned to Windsor Castle following their summer stint at Sandringham to form a “HMS bubble” for the month-long lockdown.
And, according to an insider at Sandringham, the couple are not expected to return for Christmas as usual.
They would normally be joined by up to 30 members of the extended family - including the Duke of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales.
The source told The Sun, “We have been told not to expect them back for Christmas.”
It has been tradition for Christmas to be celebrated at Sandringham ever since 1988 - when Windsor Castle, where the royals used to celebrate, was being rewired.
And it’s a tradition the Queen has stuck to ever since.
Revealing the reasons behind her decision to move Christmas to Sandringham, the Queen’s former press secretary, Dickie Arbiter, told Hello, “Traditionally the family has always gone to Sandringham at Christmas. It’s so close to London where she does occasions almost right up to Christmas.
“She wants to be at Sandringham for the beginning of February, which is the anniversary of the death of her father. So Sandringham has always been the traditional place to go for Christmas until New Year.”
“Sandringham is always winter and Balmoral is always summer.”
While it’s thought the Queen’s Christmas could be scuppered further with the current lockdown restrictions stopping houses from mixing indoors, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson has said no decisions have been made.
“No final decision has been taken on Christmas.”

Despite their parents’ political differences, Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton have been friends for a long time. In fact, it was their parents who introduced them, feeling that the similarities in their backgrounds would provide them with a lot in common. Let’s hope the friendship survives recent events!
18. Threats of a Twitter Campaign to Boycott Ivanka’s Clothing Line
Because of the infamous audio tape which was leaked during the Trump campaign many people opted to avoid any business which Donald had an interest in. Although media sources such as The Guardian reported rumblings of a Twitter campaign to boycott Ivanka’s business as well, it is unclear if she will escape unscathed.

If you love cars, then you’re going to love these modified cars. From drift cars to dragsters, these vehicles are sure to get your adrenaline pumping. Not only are they striking looking, but they’re also some of the most powerful on the road. If you’re interested in modifying your own car, then be sure to check out these great resources. You’ll learn everything you need to know to make your car stand out from the pack and turn heads when you drive it around town.
The Cast Of The Cat In The Hat is an article that discusses the cast of the show “The Cat in the Hat” and how they were chosen for their roles, as well as what their initial thoughts on working on this show were.
What are Modified Cars?
What are Modified Cars?
Modified cars are sports cars, SUVs, and trucks that have been modified in some way. They can be built from scratch, or they can have alterations made to the body or the engine. Some modifications may be minor, while others may be more drastic.
There are a few main reasons people modify their cars. Some people do it as a hobby, others do it to improve their performance. There are also people who use modified cars for illegal activities, like racing or street racing.
Mods can vary a lot, so it’s important to be aware of what you’re getting into if you decide to modify your car. Mods that might be considered minor include adding spoilers, changing the color of the paint job, and adding high performance tires. More serious mods might include increasing the horsepower or torque of the engine, installing lightweight suspension components, and making changes to the chassis such as adding an alloy frame or modifying the brakes.
Before you make any major modifications to your car, make sure to consult with a professional mechanic who is familiar with modified cars. They can inspect your car and give you advice on whether or not any modifications should be made.
When we talk about consumer services, we are referring to the various services that businesses provide to their customers. This can include anything from customer support and technical assistance to product returns and refunds.
The Advantages of Modified Cars
There are a number of reasons why people modify their cars. Some people do it for the thrill of modifying their car and others do it because they think it makes their car faster or easier to drive. In any case, modified cars can have a number of advantages over stock cars.
One advantage is that modified cars are often easier to drive on the street. This is because they often have better aerodynamics and handling. They also tend to be lighter and less expensive to operate than stock cars. Finally, Modified Cars can often be custom made to fit the driver’s needs which gives them an edge when competing in endurance races or high-speed events.
The Disadvantages of Modified Cars
There are several disadvantages of modifying your car. For one, it can be expensive. This is because you will need to replace or upgrade parts that have been damaged or worn in the process of modifying your car. Additionally, if you get pulled over for a traffic violation, the officer may suspect that your car has been modified and penalize you accordingly. Finally, some people feel that modifying their cars makes them look irresponsible and dangerous.
Types of Modified Cars
Exhaust systems – Many modified cars use exhaust systems with louder noises. This can be done in a few different ways, including adding a pipe that goes straight out of the car, or using a series of pipes that lead away from each other.
Spoilers – Spoilers are used to increase downforce and cornering performance. They’re often large and curved, and can be mounted on front or rear ends of the car.
Chassis mods – Chassis mods involve modifying the car’s structure in order to improve its performance. This can include adding stiffer suspension, upgrading brakes, or even replacing the entire frame with something else.
How to Choose the Right Modified Car for You
When you are shopping for a modified car, it is important to consider your needs and wants. You should think about what type of driving you do most often, what kind of modifications you want, and whether the car can handle your style of driving.
If you frequently drive on twisty roads or in mountainous terrain, a sports car might not be the best option for you. If you onlydrive on straightaways and highways, a sedan or coupe might be better suited. For people who like to modify their cars extensively, there are many different types of modified cars to choose from. Below are some tips to help you find the right one for you:
1) Consider What Type of Driving You Do Most Often
Before deciding which type of modified car is right for you, it is important to know what type of driving you do most often.

Videos by American Songwriter
The Harrow & The Harvest
[Rating: 4 stars]
It wasn’t hard to be skeptical of Gillian Welch in the 1990s, when she entered a crowded field of female Americana singers with distinctive voices and intensely confessional lyrics. Emmylou Harris released her comeback, Wrecking Ball, 1996, a year before Welch’s debut album, and Lucinda Williams finally finished her long-awaited opus Car Wheels on a Gravel Road in 1998. Iris DeMent was still on a run of grittily emotional albums, and Louisville’s Freakwater were pacing the margins and delivering stark ruminations in high-flying harmonies.
In their midst, Welch stood out as suspect, thanks to geography (she hailed from Los Angeles instead of the South), parentage (her mother and father wrote music for The Carol Burnett Show), and education (she matriculated at Berklee College of Music). Even though she often sang in first person, Welch’s songs were less about her than about characters from other times and places, orphan girls and morphine addicts and mountain hermits. There was a sense that she was play acting, that her songs were merely scripts—Hollywood period pieces—which seemed antithetical to a genre that prized down-home authenticity. Or at least the appearance of it.
In retrospect, such skepticism was unwarranted. Los Angeles has a rich history in country music, with swing bands and troubadours migrating west during the Great Depression. The Carol Burnett Show is really, really funny. And traditional American music has always given its artists the opportunity to depict the world from perspectives other than that of a professional singer-songwriter. Nearly fifteen years after her debut, Welch has creatively and professionally outlived many of her contemporaries, and has had a decidedly powerful impact on a new generation of Americana musicians. Groups like Old Crow Medicine Show and the Decemberists have adopted not only her third-party approach to old sounds and songs, but also her old-timey look. Even without her appearance on the groundbreaking O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack, she may be one of the most influential roots artists of the 2000s, despite sitting out most of the decade.
The Harrow & the Harvest, her first album in eight long years, is perfectly timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of O Brother and the success of such acts as the Civil Wars and Mumford & Sons, who owe her a considerable debt. Retreating from the full-band sound of 2003’s Soul Journey, these new songs are defiantly spare and spectral, featuring mostly the dueling guitars and voices of Welch and longtime partner Dave Rawlings. Their playing sounds tighter and more intuitive than ever, opening up songs like “Down Along the Dixie Line” and “The Way It Will Be” and setting their elegant guitar lines—picked more often than strummed—at eloquently cross purposes.
Sonically, this modest accompaniment is designed to evoke not the dusty, distant past nor the immediate present, but something in between, some half-imagined or -remembered moment and place. There’s no cheap nostalgia or easy sincerity, which wrecks most of Welch’s acolytes, namely Mumford & Sons. In fact, when the music becomes more prominent, the album veers toward country kitsch. Banjo, handclaps, and harmonica almost drive “Six White Horses” into the ditch of pastiche, but Welch wisely follows it with the peaceful, easy “Hard Times,” about a man and his trusty mule. “Hard times ain’t gonna rule my mind no more,” she and Rawlings sing delicately together, righting the album and setting up an easygoing, yet quietly affecting finale.
Welch has always been a strong character songwriter, inhabiting her songs almost as a means of absenting herself, but the details in these songs feel studied, purposeful, and specific to her cast of hard-luck wanderers and outcasts. “Tennessee” is a full Southern gothic novel compressed into six minutes, beginning with the narrator’s expulsion from Sunday School and ending with “sweet heaven when I die.” In between there’s so much understated lust: “I had no desire to be a child of sin,” she sings, “Then you went an pressed your whiskers to my cheek.”
It’s a rich portrait, full of unexpected imagery and odd turns of phrase, which means that even though Welch has sung about drunks and prodigals so many times in the past, the songs on The Harrow & The Harvest sound both pleasingly familiar and starkly new, as if her unique vision of Americana contains an inexhaustible cast of eccentrics and an unending narrative from which she can harvest the most harrowing arcs.

Judith ShulevitzA friend of mine calls this novel Houellebecq's Annie Hall, a description that strikes me as apt for two reasons. First, because, like Woody Allen in that movie, Houellebecq portrays himself here less as a clown than as the established artist he has become, however ambivalently, and grapples with his place in the culture. Second, because this novel is extremely funny, in the dark, disconcerting mode of which both Allen and Houellebecq are masters.

Refugee group says visa suspensions 'stopping boats'
The Government's decision to temporarily suspend visa applications from Sri Lankans and Afghans has reportedly led to a substantial drop in the numbers of asylum seekers arriving in Malaysia looking for passage to Australia.
In April this year, the Government announced a suspension of refugee processing for people from Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the wake of growing numbers of asylum seekers arriving by boat.
Temme Lee, the refugee coordinator at the Malaysian human rights organisation Suaram, says the policy has had an effect.
"The Australian Government has been speaking to the Malaysian government and pressuring the Malaysian government to step up on their anti-trafficking enforcement," she said.
"Ever since the pressure we have seen many, many boats of Afghans and Sri Lankans being stopped."
Increased cooperation between Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia was also cited as a significant factor in curbing people smuggling operations.
However, as the number of boats heading to Australia ease, detention camps in Malaysia and Indonesia are facing a build-up of asylum seekers.
Irene Fernandez, the executive director of Tenaganita, an NGO that promotes the rights of women and refugees, says more needs to be done in terms of regional cooperation.
"For me the good news is that people from Sri Lanka are beginning to think about going back, which is good but unfortunately they are caught in a kind of a vicious cycle and this vicious cycle comes from basically two factors," she said.
"One is the Sri Lankan refugees do not have travel documents and therefore they need to get that from the Sri Lankan government.
"Secondly, is that since they do not have travel documents the Malaysian government will see that they have overstayed in the country and therefore a fine of at least 3,000 ringgit ($1,050) will be imposed upon. They do not have this money to pay."
Deputy High Commissioner of the Sri Lankan High Commission in Malaysia, Udaya Perera, says his government is working towards returning all Sri Lankans home.
"If they are Sri Lankan citizens we want them back," he said.
"As far the rebels are concerned who are misguided, we want to rehabilitate and absorb them into our society.
"Rather than them going to another society and creating problems it's far better for them to come back and go through the rehabilitation process."

At the beginning of 2017, CNBC announced that real estate stock was “underowned”. In fact, that was an understatement, as this stock was being completely ignored.
These days it seems like investors want to sink their money into tech, gold, mining and currencies like Bitcoin. They are less enthusiastic about brick-and-mortar, even though this industry has provided a strong foundation for countless portfolios over the years.
But these investors are missing out. This is an industry that will explode over the next few years and one that is always a safe bet for your money.
It’s harder for a first-time buyer to own their now house than it has ever been. This is one of the reasons so many people refuse to invest in real estate, fearing that home ownership is now for the few and not the many. But people still need somewhere to live and if they can’t buy, they will rent.
That creates a cycle whereby countless students, families and individuals rent homes nationwide, pushing the demand for rentals through the roof. The ones who have the money are able to buy homes in order to rent them out. They are able to profit form this demand, buy more homes, and continue to supply. In time, those students and those families will eventually earn enough to buy homes of they own and get they foot on the ladder.
Don’t think that just because fewer people are buying this industry is dead. As a real estate investor it’s all about how many homes are being build, bought, rented and lived in, and those numbers are higher than they have ever been.
Flipping Foreign Investment
As mentioned above, “flipping” plays a huge role in this industry. Countless entrepreneurs are now turning to the real estate market in order to buy, improve and then sell homes across America. The interest in house flipping has been generated by countless TV shows that cover the subject. House flipping has exploded over the last 5 years and it is showing no sign of slowing down.
It seems to be at its most popular in the North Central region of the US, but it is also huge in the Forth Worth-Dallas region, where a combination of low house prices and an increasingly wealthy local populace has crated the perfect storm.
Some reports coming out of major cities are suggesting that house sales are down and home improvement is up. This is all down to house prices, which is a good thing for investors, but the fact that more homeowners are pumping money into their homes is also good news. Homeowners use top re-modelers to improve their home. In doing so, they pump money into an industry that has a direct influence on the real estate industry, and they also work to increase the value of their own homes, which in turn boosts the industry further.
Think about it: the more people that focus on home improvement, the more this trend takes over. The more we see it on TV, the more we read about it and the more people will look to get involved with “flipping”, investing and buying in general. Home improvement trends may not seem like much, but they often coincide with a huge increase in the national house prices.
Real estate today will be what IBM stock was a couple decades ago. It’s something that you will look back on in ten, twenty years and wish you had a piece of it. It’s something that will always have value and something that will always have a purpose. What’s more, you don’t need to buy a home in order to invest and you certainly don’t need to try your hand at flipping.
Instead look to invest in to real estate companies on the NYSE. These companies build the homes that are being bought and sold in their millions, and if this industry flourishes then so will they. The following stocks are all worth considering for this:
- American Realty Investors: ARL
- CBRE Group: CBG
- Alexander and Baldwind Holdings: ALEX
- Forestar Group: FOR
- Altisource Residential Corporation: RESI

I finally had the opportunity to attend my first show and sale last month! I have been selling on Etsy for a while now but had not taken the leap into the world of Craft Shows. My Husband and I sure learned a lot from the experience and I have been bitten by the bug…gotta do more!
It was so nice to get some feedback from the public visiting the show. I work on my own and sometimes it feels like I am in my own little bubble. It was amazing to me how many people said that their Grandmothers used to make the type of rugs I make or that they remembered rag rugs on the floor when they were little. I am hoping to attend my next show this November and am planning to work hard all Winter to make more Rugs, Baskets and Tote Bags for next summer…I hope to see you at a Craft Sale somewhere soon!
Well, I finally did it. Got the courage up to claim a name for my Etsy shop. I have been thinking about it for a long time but it has been easier to just go with the old name until something happened yesterday to make me rethink everything!
A woman purchased an item from me and gave me my first bad review. She did not contact me to ask for a refund or even to let me know it wasn’t what she was expecting. That’s OK…I’ve worked retail. It didn’t stop me from shedding a tear or two however.
I was floored. People may think..oh that’s nice..you sell your stuff on Etsy but I am sure that those who have never given it a whirl don’t really have an understanding of the work behind it. I love it!! I have learned a ton about myself and how to navigate the internet not to mention SEO!
I really feel sometimes I need a 2×4 like a crap review in order to light a fire under me. With the advice of a fellow Fiber Artist, Jocelyn Allen https://www.facebook.com/wearableartbyjocelynallen I was given the incentive to make some changes!
I have opened a new shop in Etsy as well for my Vintage finds. I felt my handwork was getting a little lost as the size of my shop grew and felt it was time to split into two entities. The new can be found here @ https://www.etsy.com/shop/slinkyvagabonds
As my friends and family know I am a big David Bowie fan so I thought I’d use a phrase from his song “Young Americans”…Slinky Vagabond….a fun name that means something to me! There is just one little thing in there right now but I will be adding more and moving stuff over from Ragged Revival as well.
On a side note..here are some coasters I have been working on. I thought they’d be great gift ideas to take with you when invited to a friends Cottage this summer…one of my BFF’s has just purchased a Cottage and I will be bringing a set along for her!
I would say that March has come in like a Lion…we got another 5 inches of snow and the polar vortex continues to hover. My poor dogs are so P.O.’ed at me for not walking them but they are two little Shih Tzu’s and I don’t have booties for their feet so we get to the end of the driveway and Nicky, the boy, is already crying and whining so I have to turn back up the drive and go home.
I have been making some headway while confined to the house. I have painted my studio space and also given my desk a lovely coat of green with a top coat of dark wax to grub it up a bit.
I have also managed to work on a rug or two and make a new pincushion with some of my Vintage button stash.
My Hubby is picking up some shelving for me today and hopefully I will be able to start the process of organizing my fabrics sometime this week…..time marches on….get it…March….I amuse myself….
That’s me these days….winter drags on…studio is a mess…can’t find a new hairdresser..dentist..nail salon…
I have moved a lot of times in my life and am hoping to settle in for a good long while but in the meantime..to keep me sane..I just keep making things!
These guys are two of my latest pieces. I like them. Will probably make more. What I really need to do is get organized! The space that has been designated as my studio is a mess and sometimes rather than try to figure it out it’s just easier to rip up a bed sheet or chop up some fabric and make something. I am all about the instant gratification.
I know that Rome wasn’t built in a day…I will just have to press on! Next thing on the list is to paint my space to freshen it up and then a trip to IKEA will be in order!
I’ve been working on making more rugs as the winter marches on. Day by day I am looking forward to seeing the snow melt but in the meantime…I just keep hookin’! You can check this rug out in my Etsy Shop. Just click on the photo!
Yup….it has set in. Cabin Fever. I’ve been sitting at home for most of January with the wind howling an the snow blowing..it just keeps piling up!
That’s my back deck….haven’t made it to the Hot tub in quite a while. Oh well…it can’t last forever….I keep telling myself!
It seems like spring is a long way off but it’s giving me a chance to get some stuff done that I have needed to do anyway. After a few years of just playing at it I made a commitment to stocking up my Etsy shop and really making a go of it this summer. Making the move to our new spot here in the Canadian wilderness has enabled me to make some changes and do more of the things I am passionate about. So…I have been learning a new language…one that includes SEO’s and Forums and Facebook pages etc. It’s not always easy to get this tech stuff when you grew up in an era when the Microwave oven was a huge deal coming into the house! I am persevering and loving it!
Getting my shop filled up with the work that I have done is making room for new creations to come into my imagination and into existence. A burst of creative energy is just what the Doctor ordered this Winter! It’s been a tough one. Here’s to the light at the end of the tunnel!
I’ve decided it’s time to move my Blog to WordPress and to actually get blogging again! I’ve kinda farted around with a lot of different things these past six or seven months…including unpacking..getting rid of stuff..picking up new stuff…painting stuff…making stuff…working on my Etsy shop….helping my youngest daughter get her act together etc. etc. etc….It’s been busy!
As the new year has turned and the winter maintains it’s grip on me and my environment I am seeing sprouts coming up from the seeds I have been planting!
My Etsy shop has been encouraging and I have seen pieces I have made make their way to the States, Canada and Scotland. My youngest daughter starts a new job next week and is flying the coop. My home is beginning to take shape with each new project that I complete.
All in all a productive start to my new life in Muskoka!
Now I just need to get into a routine to make sure I am hitting all the marks I am aiming for. My fresh start with WordPress is an exciting new beginning and I hope you enjoy following me on my adventures!

Legend has it that Alexander the Great had a fleet of ships made from cedar planks. Regarded a sacred wood by many native cultures around the world, cedar wood has also been favored in furniture-building for its workability, aromatic appeal, and natural longevity.
I like cedar simply because it is a beautiful wood. Handcrafted and finished in natural oil, this casket emboldens the same characteristics that made heirloom furniture an heirloom in the 1500s.

Hurghada : Passing through.
Hurghada Travel Blog› entry 55 of 268 › view all entries
[Camera and egypt photos kindly returned to me and now updated... although admittedly they are pretty uninspired for this entry... reflecting Hurghada itself in some ways :( ]
My final morning in Luxor. This afternoon I will board a coach to take the approx 250km trip from here to Hurghada on the mid-eastern coast of mainland Egypt. Then from there it is by cattermeran that I will travel across the Red Sea, just south of the entrance to the Gulf of Suez to Sharm el-Sheikh in on the Sinai peninsula.
I'm taking it easy just killing time today. No can do on blog updates as the hotel computers have remained on the blink the entire time I've been here. Man I miss my laptop :( Oh well. No point moping. To pass an hour or so I stroll down to the corniche and pay a visit to the Mummification Museum. Sounds pretty spooky and intriguing. At EGP40 to enter it turns out to be a little bit of a disappointing affair constituting as it does only a single, large room of exhibits and artefacts relating to the culture of Egyptian mummification. It packs a high amount of interest into its modest space though with some well-kept examples of funerary equipment and relics from around Luxor and greater egypt. Information on the jackal-headed god of mummification Annubis is in abundance as well as the actual mummy of some ancient city army commander or something.
This diversion has not passed nearly enough time so I head up and walk around the outisde of the Luxor Temple where I bump into Pierre-Marc the genial French-Canadian traveller I first met in and have not seen since my time in King Tut's hostel in Cairo. He's got a cold and about to go in search of a horse or donkey ride to the Valley of the Kings. Doesn't sound like the best cure for the common cold to me but "heck! why not!". It seems we're both likely to bump into each other in Hurghada tomorrow morning for the boat over the Sharm so fingers crossed for good company on the crossing.
...fortunately he does not. He's visiting family in Luxor and at the hotel to greet some new victims.... I mean, new customers. I take them aside and only half jokingly warn them that he's a crackpot. They laugh this off good naturedly, but dismissively. Oh yeah, they were warned. I wonder if they ever made it back home? "Hey ho!" :D
Mimo escorts me by taxi after lunch to the bus station out of town where tickets are handed over and I sit and wait on Egypt Time with a couple of Italians and Americans for the coach to eventually turn up.
It is dark and quite late (21.00+) when we arrive in Hurghada. The Atef Plan is working perfectly again as whilst the other travellers from the coach spill out disorientated and so far bedless for the night, all I have to do is hoist my backpack into the taxi hailed by the man with my name on the board and be driven to my hotel for the night. Hurghada feels big. It doesn't seem pretty. A large strip of neon and naffness stretching some miles along the coastline with endless bars, fast food restaurants, souvenir and dive shops. The usual tourist economy mess. Hurghada I gather, like Sharm el-Sheikh, only really exists as a result of the boon from the diving tourism industry and this shows, even at this time of night. I am not disappointed to know I will be out of here in 12 hours time.

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez plans a re-election fundraiser in the nation's capital with prominent Republicans from across the country.
The governor is scheduled to attend the fundraiser Wednesday in suburban Washington, D.C.
Campaign spokesman Chris Sanchez said Martinez traveled Tuesday to New York for a Republican Governors Association meeting, and she's going to Washington on Wednesday for the fundraising reception.
A similar fundraiser was held in 2013, featuring guests such as Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus and House Speaker John Boehner.
The re-election campaign will pay for the governor's travel costs to the fundraiser and her return to New Mexico on Thursday. Sanchez said the governors association will cover costs of the New York trip.

Shaq’s lost film auditions for Brokeback Mountain & Casablanca
[jwplayer config=”Auto-Play” mediaid=”34207″]
Shaq‘s new TV show “Upload with Shaquille O’Neal” started off rougher than his debut on Inside the NBA but due to a few funny sketches like his revenge on Aaron Carter, the show has been picking up steam and showing more potential than your typical Tosh.0 rip off. It’s not Shaqtin a Coon..I mean fool yet but it’s on its way.
Too bad Shaq’s auditions for Kazaam, Steel and Good Burger ended at just auditions and not full length films.
After watching the Miami Heat Harlem Shake video I think Chris Bosh could of made a funny Brokeback Mountain audition tape.

in the vicinityVideoFBI investigated Gilroy shooting as domestic terrorism
FBI: Gilroy shooter had the list of destinations with religious groups, buildings; Trace Gallagher has the details.
In the Wake of three mass shootings in two weeks across the country, the mayor of San Jose, Calif., on Monday proposed what is known as the ” first-in-the-nation move, you need to carry all of the weapons owners to take out liability insurance for their weapons.
According to the proposal of mayor Sam Liccardo, the insurance would be no accidental discharge of a firearm and any intentional acts by a person who has stolen, or the gun covers. It would not lead to the policyholder for any intentional discharge, that he or she is.
Liccardo also exploring a possible ballot measure that, if passed, would ammunition the tax all and shot gun purchases in San Jose. is
GILROY GARLIC FESTIVAL-SHOOTER SHOULD ‘ROT IN HELL,” SAID NEVADA BUSINESSMAN WHO ALLEGEDLY SELLS GUN KILLER
“A mayor has said the luxury, only with” thoughts and prayers “” Liccardo, according to the local media. “We have to solve problems. While this is far from a complete solution, it’s something that we can do to reduce the damage of firearms, without having to wait to act on behalf of the Congress.”
The house two bills that would tighten background checks, but they are stalled in the Senate on break until September.has passed,
Liccardo moves come two weeks after a 19-year-old gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California., what to see in four deaths and 13 injuries. Keyla Salazar, 13, and Stephen Romero, 6, both of San Jose, were killed in the shooting, together with the 25-year-old Trevor Irby, before the gunman, Santino Legan, he took his own life.
Liccardo said that his plan is based on similar laws in California that make it illegal to drive a vehicle without insurance.

“We urge motorists to drive a car insurance, and the insurance industry to adequately promote and reward safe driver behaviour,” he said. “We tax tobacco to discourage, risky behavior, and to ensure that non-smokers are not forced to subsidize the significant public health costs due to Smoking related diseases and deaths. This successful public-health-inspired models, a similar ‘harm reduction’ approach to firearms.”
Liccardo added that he handed over the reach of other cities in California and across the country, to encourage them to a similar law.

Finding balance is something we all strive to achieve. It is a universal quest that transcends gender, background or walk in life. For some, finding balance means finding an outlet to express ideas, reduce stress and keep physically fit. Dance is one activity that offers just such a means to achieve balance. From those of who dance recreationally to those who take classes and aspire to make dancing a career, there is a common feeling of joy that come from this creative form of movement.
This is why, when Emily Martin and her partner and mother Barbara Martin, purchased an Annapolis dance studio they wanted to remain the studio to reflect their own quest for balance. After operating for over a year under the prior name, the studio now launches its new name, “Level Dance Project”.
“We selected the name because I have always found my own balance in life through dance and we relish being able to offer the same opportunity to our students. We were fortunate to have had the opportunity to purchase the award winning studio Rohanna Dance Productions (RDP) and after a year now feel the time is right to make the name our own” said Emily Martin, dancer, choreographer, teacher and studio owner. “We strive to continue the tradition at the studio of allowing each dancer to find his or her own personal best and to use dance as a form of expression that can help our youth as they take their own life journey from elementary school through the teen and young adult years.”
Emily taught at Rohanna before purchasing the studio and prior to that danced and taught dance in New York City with the professional contemporary troop, Pushing Progress. Each also was a member of the local dance ensemble, Dragon Fly and attended Anne Arundel Committee College with a associates degree in dance prior to moving to New York.
In the last year, under Emily’s direction, the studio participated in the Revolution National Dance competition with 15 other studios and hundreds of dance routines from all over the country and continued its award winning tradition. The studio placed 1st overall in the large group age 14 category and 1st overall in the small group age 8 and under category. The studio also placed 2nd for their small group age 8 and under tap routine and Emily Martin received the prestigious choreography award for one of her contemporary pieces.
However, competition is not everything and there needs to be a balance in life. For Emily and Barbara Martin, their instructors and students, finding life balance also means giving back to others. So on November 10th the studio’s competition parents will sponsor a vendor fair from 10AM -2PM. There is no admission cost to the fair but the studio is requesting that those attending bring a non-perishable food item contribution to the Annapolis Lighthouse Shelter, a non-profit organization dedicated to help rebuild lives with compassion by providing shelter and services to prevent homelessness and empower people as they transition toward self-sufficiency. “We hope to bring a few car loads full of food to the Light House Shelter from the Fair,” said Vicki Hinkle, mother of one of the dancers at Level Dance Production. Over 21 vendors will be selling their goods. There will be baked goods, a game room, moon bounce and a consignment booth.
Level Dance Project is also working on an upcoming project. In February 2014 the studio plans to hold a benefit show for a local suicide prevention organization. All proceeds from this show would go to benefit the non-profit suicide prevention organization. “We are still in the planning stages and hope to announce the details soon. We want to give our dancers opportunities to give back as giving back is such an important part of finding true balance in life” said Emily Martin.

Around Broadneck: Mother-daughter duo dances into new venture together


(Bill Brett/Globe Staff)
Charles Ansbacher, the founding conductor of the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, whose free concerts at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade and in many city neighborhoods brought live classical music to thousands of Bostonians, died Sunday night at his home in Cambridge.
The cause was a brain tumor, according to a spokeswoman for the orchestra. He was 67.
Mr. Ansbacher was a firm believer in the power of music to lift individual spirits regardless of one's background while also strengthening the bonds of civic life. His populism seemed indistinguishable from his love for the art form itself. He once told an interviewer: "Classical music for me is simply a thing of beauty ... that everybody should have the opportunity to enjoy."
His faith in music's ability to forge or repair community led him to guest conduct far outside the typical circuit. He worked with orchestras in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Macedonia, Moldova, and Uzbekistan and held positions with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, the Bishkek Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra of Kyrgyzstan, and the Sarajevo Philharmonic.
But locally, he was best known for the summer concerts at the Hatch Shell in which he led an orchestra of freelance musicians in accessible programs designed to bring pleasure equally to lifelong music-lovers and uninitiated fans, to schoolchildren and to the passing cyclist.
"Charles's commitment to restoring community, his warmth and capacity for empathy, and his love of music all came together in the Boston Landmarks Orchestra," said Governor Deval Patrick. "What a gift he was to our community."
Mayor Thomas Menino echoed those sentiments: "Charles Ansbacher has added so much to the cultural life of the city since his arrival to Boston. His dedication to music and our parks was tremendous and he will be sorely missed. We are all grateful that his legacy will live on through the Boston Landmarks Orchestra."
When he founded the orchestra, in 2000, Mr. Ansbacher placed the word "landmarks" in its title to signal his belief in the "synergy," as he often called it, between music and location -- or in other words, between the power of the arts to deepen one's sense of place.
In addition to its Esplanade series, the Landmarks Orchestra has given concerts in several local Boston neighborhoods and against the backdrop of various iconic New England sites. Each year the group typically commissions a new family-friendly work on quintessential local subjects or institutions, such as "Make Way for Ducklings," Old Ironsides, John Adams, and the Red Sox.
In July Mr. Ansbacher and a longtime colleague, the conductor Christopher Wilkins, led the first symphonic program ever to take place in Fenway Park. 15,000 free tickets to the event were claimed in four days. In an intermission interview with WCRB-FM, Ansbacher spoke of his approach to democratizing the arts. He said he hoped "to limit barriers that keep people from knowing and learning and eventually loving orchestral music." That desire, according Wilkins, was vintage Ansbacher.
"I've always been inspired by Charles's gut-level instinct to guide musicians toward a wider purpose, a bigger role beyond just making music and giving concerts," Wilkins said. "We all know that music is a healing art but we don't often treat it that way, and we don't often deliver it to the people can use the most healing. Charles would look for the places and the people who needed it the most. And then the most exciting thing was to see the results."
According to Jeff Makholm, chairman of the board of the Landmarks Orchestra, the ensemble will continue its work in the coming years, and a new conductor will eventually be appointed as artistic director. "Boston has indeed lost a rare sort of friend," he said, "but it will not lose what he wanted to give to Boston."
Mr. Ansbacher was born in Providence and grew up largely in Vermont. His parents, Heinz Ludwig and Rowena (Ripin) Ansbacher, were both German-born psychologists with deep expertise in the theories of Alfred Adler, a contemporary of Freud. Mr. Ansbacher studied music at Brown University and the University of Cincinnati, and eventually became music director of the Colorado Springs Symphony, a position he held for almost two decades, through most of the 1970s and 80s.
During that period he also developed his public policy interests, serving as a White House Fellow and co-chairing a US Department of Transportation task force that advocated for the use of federal funds to build a presence for the arts within the mass transit system.
It was also during his time in Colorado that he met Swanee Hunt, whom he later married and accompanied to Vienna when Hunt was appointed US ambassador to Austria. There he worked as a guest conductor, and began his relationship with the Sarajevo Philharmonic.
Upon arriving in Boston in the late 1990s, Mr. Ansbacher was surprised to see how little classic music was performed in the city during the summer months. Those with the time and resources could travel to bucolic summer music festivals, but he argued that those without such opportunities still deserved the chance to hear live concerts.
The Landmarks Orchestra's own presentations grew steadily in number and reach over their first decade, with this year's series drawing an average weekly crowd of some 8,000 listeners to the Esplanade.
Mr. Ansbacher, often clad in one of his signature vests, did not shy away from presenting demanding concert works like Verdi's Requiem in al fresco settings but he also tended to favor a fast-vanishing repertoire of light classics and Americana. In what seemed a characteristic gesture, he lobbied to have the name of Leroy Anderson, who composed "Sleigh Ride" and countless light concert tunes, added to the list of composers inscribed at the Hatch Shell alongside the likes of Beethoven, Brahms, and Schubert.
Mr. Ansbacher is survived by his wife, Ambassador Swanee Hunt of Cambridge; his brothers Max of New York City, Ted of White Plains, N.Y., and Ben of Burlington, N.C. ; his children, Henry Ansbacher and Lillian Shuff of Denver, Colo., and Theodore Ansbacher-Hunt of North Adams; and grandchildren Max, Alex, and Ella of Denver. His prior marriage, to Barbara Ann Ansbacher, who died in 1987, ended in divorce.
The funeral will be private but a memorial concert will be held at a later date.

How Advantage CLA helps you?
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of conjugated octadecadienoic acid isomers derived from linoleic acid. CLA is one of the most popular weight loss supplement in the world and many studies supports other health benefits as well.
The published data indicate that consumption of CLA reduces BFM in overweight and moderately obese healthy volunteers
Conjugated linoleic acid might help reduce body fat deposits and improve immune function.
A major effect of CLA in this respect is the reduction in lipid uptake by adipocytes which leads to the reduction in body fat gain.
CLA supplementation has also been used in sports, aiming to reduce body fat and possibly improve performance. Furthermore, other supposed benefits include improved lipid profile and/or anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce oxidative stress and ameliorate insulin signaling, among others.
Collectively, these mechanisms improve body composition and energetic metabolism.

Temperature and emission measure from goes soft X-ray measurements
- Cite this article as:
- Garcia, H.A. Sol Phys (1994) 154: 275. doi:10.1007/BF00681100
GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) X-ray sensors observe the Sun continuously in two broadband soft X-ray channels. These data are collected in real time and are used operationally to detect the onset and the intensity of solar flares. For these purposes it is usually sufficient to monitor only the soft channel (1–8 Å). The second, harder channel (0.5–4 Å) provides additional information on the state of the coronal plasma. The dual X-ray measurement data are archived and made available to external users for basic research.
The GOES X-ray sensors operate on the ion-chamber principle: measured ion-chamber electric current is proportional to the net ionization rate caused by incident X-ray flux on encapsulated noble gases. The ratio of the outputs of the two channels in electric current, therefore, is uniquely a function of the color temperature of the emitting plasma, and the magnitude of each of the currents is proportional to a quantity, known as the emission measure, that convolves the volume and the density of the emitting plasma.
This paper provides a detailed description of the procedure used for computing color temperature and emission measure from GOES X-ray data, including a table of constants for SMS and GOES X-ray sensors that are necessary for reducing the archived data from these satellites. Temperature and theoretical current tables were constructed, for individual GOES sensors, from laboratory calibrations of instrument responses and from synthetic solar X-ray spectra generated by two models of solar thermal X-ray emission: Raymond-Smith and Mewe-Alkemade. Example tables are shown and others are available on request.
Errors that may be incurred from the use of GOES X-ray data in the computation of flare temperatures and emission measures may be classified under four major groups: instrumentinduced errors, including errors of calibration and random measurement errors; environmentally induced errors, due primarily to the ambient energetic electron background; solar influences, including the consequences of the isothermal assumption and the single-source assumption; and uncertainties in the modelled solar synthetic spectrum. These error sources are discussed separately, and a rough estimation of the collective error is made where this is quantitatively feasible. Finally, temperatures and emission measures are computed from GOES data and are compared with those derived from SMM andHinotori soft X-ray spectrometer data and from broadband photometric data from the PROGNOZ satellite.
