This article examines the potential of using mobile and online technologies as part of a worksite wellness program in order to achieve lasting changes in health-related behavior. The value of workplace health and wellness programs is becoming increasingly apparent to employers. The epidemic-levels of obesity and related conditions (diabetes, hypertension, stroke, etc.) are driving up healthcare costs, while also resulting in heavy losses due to increased absenteeism and low-productivity.
According to Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, it is estimated that full-time workers in the U.S. who are overweight or obese, and have other chronic health conditions, miss an estimated 450 million additional days of work each year compared with healthy workers. This results in an estimated cost of more than $153 billion annually.
The U.S is not alone however as obesity rates across the globe are reaching unprecedented levels. Yet, this lost revenue is preventable. Obesity and related chronic diseases of lifestyle are caused in large part by unhealthy behaviors: bad eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, etc.
Getting employees to change these behaviors and replace them with healthy ones could result in significant savings. However, motivating long-lasting behavior change is a notoriously difficult thing to achieve. Many traditional approaches to public health-based initiatives and workplace wellness programs have attempted to achieve this behavior change mainly through the communication of health-related information, for example: significant health risks to employees, foods to avoid, or helpful exercise programs.
The idea here was that if employees understand this information, then they should agree that it is in their best interests to act on it, and behave accordingly. They should simply start making healthier choices based on the knowledge that such choices will benefit them: longer life expectancy, less risk of disease and illness, more energy, feel better and so on.
On this approach, people are assumed to be "rational actors" and are expected to behave in ways that maximise personal benefits. However, recent research in the fields of Behavioural Economics and Behavioural Psychology suggests that this approach is flawed when it comes to predicting certain complex human behaviors.
Even when presented with clear, unbiased information, people often fail to act on this information when making health-related decisions. For example, billions of dollars are spent every year on health-based initiatives, awareness campaigns, and the distribution of health-oriented information, yet obesity, heart-disease and diabetes remain on the rise.
Similarly, most smokers are aware of the hazards associated with cigarette smoking, yet continue this behavior.It is becoming clear, in terms of workplace wellness programs, that simply communicating objective information to employees is not enough: "Knowledge is a necessary, but usually not sufficient factor in changing individual or collective behaviour".
Why Information Alone is Not Enough
In part, this is because our health-habits are largely dictated by the environment in which we live. We live in a culture that makes it easy and convenient for us to make unhealthy choices. It has been proven that when overwhelmed with choice and information - as is the case when it comes to what people should eat - people often sacrifice thoroughness in favour of convenience.
Rather than go through the complicated process of weighing up the costs and benefits of every health-related decision, people will often go for the option that is most convenient. In the USA and Western Europe this means we often choose processed foods, salty snacks and sugary drinks. These types of food and drink are cheap, easily accessible and persistently advertised everywhere we look.
Such an environment makes it difficult to consistently avoid unhealthy choices. As well as environmental factors, there are psychological factors that influence our health behavior. That is, unhealthy choices offer individuals a level of instant-gratification: a feeling of immediate pleasure gained from eating certain foods.
This is the case even if an individual would later come to regret this decision. For example, someone may decide to eat a chocolate bar just because they happen to walk past a vending machine in their office and experience a strong urge for instant gratification. Yet, they will later regret this choice, and had the vending machine not been there, they would not have even considered walking to the shop to make such a choice.
Furthermore, the vast majority of workplace environments are characterized by their passive and sedentary nature. Less than 20 percent of jobs in America require a minimum of moderately intense physical activity. The infrastructure of daily life (better transport facilities, lifts in all buildings, prevalence of desk-jobs) significantly reduces the opportunity for people to engage in physical activity unless they purposely set out to do so.
When taken together, these factors show that even when people have the requisite knowledge, they do not always act on this knowledge to make healthy choices. The ease and convenience of unhealthy lifestyles can be a more powerful influence on behavior than objective information.
However, there is reason to believe that use of mobile and online technology, as part of an overall wellness program, offers a way to respond to these behavioral factors, and hence increase the likelihood of a wellness program successfully facilitating sustainable changes in health-related behavior.
In brief, incorporating such technology into a wellness program would allow employees to use their online devices to enter or log-in their health related behaviors each day. This would allow them to track their progress over time and also compare their achievements with their colleagues, thus creating a virtual-community or "social-network" based around health-promotion.
Use of this technology would also allow employees to receive targeted, personalised feedback based on the health behavior data the log in.Incorporating technology in this way has the potential to make the process of getting healthy simple, fun and rewarding, along with offering a network of support and motivation. These factors can help create the kind of sustainable behavior change that is required for a successful wellness program.
How Can Mobile and Online Technology Facilitate Behaviour Change?
1.Make it simple to make healthy choices.
Mobile and online technology can be used to deliver simple, clear and actionable advice to employees that can help ease the transition towards healthy behavior change. This can help employees avoid becoming overwhelmed with health-based information, or complicated calorie counting regimes which often result in failed attempts to change behaviour.
Recent research by Behavioral Psychologist B.J. Fogg at Stanford University suggests that people respond much better when presented with simple, practical steps rather than being overloaded with information that focuses on the long-term results. His findings maintain that in order to create sustainable behavior change it is necessary to approach the transition in a systematic manner.
He found that often times those who develop worksite wellness programs underestimate the steps that are necessary to make this transition from years of deeply embedded unhealthy habits towards a more healthy lifestyle. In this way, many traditional programs ask people to do things they simply cannot do. They are often based around goals such as "eat better", "be healthy", or "lose weight".
The problem is that these goals are abstractions, not behaviours that can be changed and can seem overwhelming when faced with the convenience of less-healthy choices. Hence, the focus of wellness programs needs to be shifted onto step-by-step solutions that, when taken together, lead towards long lasting change. Mobile and online technology can help provide these solutions by delivering clear and simple messages that call for reasonable, actionable steps.
For example, it is much easier for someone to act on a message like "remember to walk for at least ten minutes today!" or "don't forget to eat your five pieces of fruit and vegetables today!" than it is for someone to act on the advice to "eat better" or "do more exercise".
Incorporating mobile and online technology into a wellness program helps users focus on the tangible, achievable steps which will help them make the transition to a healthier lifestyle. In essence, delivering this type of program makes it easy for people to do what they already want to do.
2.Give personalized, targeted feedback to individual employees.
There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that individuals are far more likely to act on health-related advice if the message is tailored to suit their individual needs and desires. While it is true that addressing a group of employees as a whole is certainly beneficial for raising general awareness of the benefits of healthy living, this type of conventional communication fails to foster the type of engagement needed for long-term changes in behavior.
Mobile and online applications can be used to deliver such personalized programs and advice. This can be done by incorporating actual data from individual users, both from an initial biometric screening process as well as ongoing real-time feedback on eating and exercise behaviors from user data-entry.
This information can then go into the development of a personalized program that is tailored to suit the needs of the individual. An individual is far more likely to act on the information they receive if they know it is specifically for them, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. In a poll conducted by the Consumer Health Information Corporation 79.9 percent of respondents said they would be more likely to use an application that provided personalized feedback.
Furthermore, the Health Belief Model of health-behavior states that people's beliefs about their own health status influence their willingness to take preventive action. Thus individuals will react differently to certain messages or advice based on how they view their health-status. A wellness program should take account of this information when designing a program for each individual.
Until recently, this type of personalized program could only be created through face-to-face interaction with health experts. Such programs were expensive and time-consuming. However, since the development of mobile and online technology has become so common, such face-to-face interaction is no longer necessary. High-quality, evidence-based personalized programs can be developed and delivered through this technology and can help to increase employee engagement in wellness programs.
3.Make healthy choices fun and rewarding by providing positive reinforcement.
Mobile and online technology can offer a way to make the process of getting healthy a positive and rewarding experience, which makes it more likely that employees will remain committed to the program long enough to create behavior change. There is much scientific evidence to suggest that people adapt and behave in ways that reward and reinforce positive emotions and thoughts.
That is, people respond better to positive-oriented messages and are more likely to continue a certain behavior if it is associated with a positive feeling, rather than a negative one. Mobile and online health applications provide an avenue through which employees can be instantaneously "rewarded" for their healthy behaviors.
For example, when employees log-in some particular healthy behavior (e.g. eating some fruit or taking a walk) they receive feedback that acknowledges this behavior in a positive way. Additionally, the use of a points-system - whereby points are awarded on the basis of performing healthy tasks - creates a sense of reward and achievement for performing health behaviours.
"Points" can be collected and compared with colleagues, and more traditional incentives (financial or otherwise) can be offered to those who perform well. This positive reinforcement acts as a counterbalance to short-term pleasure received from engaging in unhealthy behaviors (eating chocolate, drinking sugary drinks etc.).
It also helps employees focus on the creation of new healthy behaviors, as opposed to concentrating on trying to stop the old ones. Positive reinforcement helps to make the process of getting healthy fun and rewarding, which increases engagement in wellness programs.
4.Create a virtual-community of social support and motivation among employees.
Integrating mobile and online technologies into a worksite wellness program also has the benefit of creating a virtual-community of peers that can offer real-time motivation and support. There is significant research that suggests that social relationships can have powerful effects on health behaviors.
In a recent survey by Virgin HealthMiles 56 percent of employees agree that peers provide motivation and helpful support with health improvement efforts. In addition, 55 percent agree that sharing information about progress with peers helps them remain accountable for their success.
Using mobile and online technologies as part of a wellness program allows users to share their experiences with one another at any time of the day or night. This is particularly true when considering the significant growth of smartphone technology, which allows users to benefit from this virtual community 24/7.
This kind of real-time support (as opposed to weekly meetings, for example) is of huge benefit to those trying to take the steps towards a healthier lifestyle. For example, when employees log the healthy things they did each day, an update could be sent out to others in their group.
This kind of social interaction can help motivate others to complete their tasks and also provide support and feedback to those who did. Employees can use this virtual-community to ask for help, give advice, and motivate competition, all from the convenience of a mobile or online device.
Based on Social Cognition Theory and Social Marketing Practice, the concept proposed is that using mobile technology as part of a wellness program creates an open and transparent community focused on promoting healthy values and creating a healthy workplace culture.
In conclusion, mobile and online technologies can be used, as part of an overall workplace wellness program in order to achieve lasting behavior change among employees. Creating this kind of behavior change is necessary for employers if they wish to reduce the overall costs associated with obesity and related conditions, as well as positively impact the lives of individual employees.
The opportunity to make these savings has increased since the introduction of the Affordable Care Act, which has significantly changed the landscape of healthcare in the U.S.Research suggests that simply communicating objective information about health-risks is not enough.
A successful workplace wellness program must take account of the complex and dynamic factors that influence how people behave when it comes to health-related decisions.
Incorporating mobile and online technology into a wellness program offers a way to do this by making the process of getting healthy easy, personal and rewarding, while also creating a social-network among employees that can offer the necessary support and motivation.

The FDA was supposed to meet Tuesday to discuss the matter. But Friday, the agency postponed that meeting. It said new data has recently emerged on Pfizer’s emergency use authorization request for its vaccine for children in that age group.
The company had originally provided information on a two-dose series. Now, Pfizer said it expects to have three-dose data by early April.
“The delays here reflect the fact that they decreased the dose for these younger kids in order to ensure that it was safe,” said Brown University Academic Dean of Public Health Dr. Megan Ranney. “Unfortunately, it looks like that decreased dose, decreased the effectiveness of the vaccine a little bit, which is why they need the three shots instead of just two.”
Pfizer said it will extend its rolling submission as it continues to collect and submit more information. The company has not pulled its EUA application.
In a statement, the heads of the FDA said, “This will give the agency time to consider the additional data, allowing for a transparent public discussion as part of our usual scientific and regulatory processes for COVID-19 vaccines.”
Dr. Ranney said, “I know how incredibly frustrating and disappointing this is for parents of those under five kids. The process works. These vaccines will not be approved until we are sure that they are both safe and effective.”
The FDA said once the new data is in, it will be evaluated as quickly as possible.
Until the FDA has time to make a decision on vaccines for this age group, health officials said the best way to protect the youngest Americans is by making sure those around them are vaccinated and using masks.

This from the UK where 3D Laser Mapping has developed a mobile cityscape mapper that captures highly accurate 3D modeling data of buildings and streets. The development is an enhancement to StreetMapper, the vehicle-mounted laser mapping system that is already well proven in terrain and highway mapping. StreetMapper uses multiple laser scanners, each with a range of 150m and 80 degree scanning angle. Each scanner performs up to 10,000 measurements per second with a scanning rate up to 100 scans per second. Numerous laser scanners can be used, and can be arranged on the scanner platform to suit different requirements. The StreetMapper survey vehicle uses well-proven laser scanning technology to capture the position of up to 40,000 3D points per second whilst in motion. The typical positional accuracy is typically 5mm for good GPS conditions and the point-to-point accuracy within the data is 3cm. Think Google Street View Mapping but hopped up on steroids!

For some perspective, I turned to Karen Rogers, the founder of Sprouts Cooking Club, a kids’ cooking school that’s been around since 2005. I figured that she’d seen it all, and she has: from the disadvantaged kids to whom Sprouts provides scholarships – some have never heard of an eggplant – to the, well, less disadvantaged. “We were doing a market cooking class at Oliveto in Oakland,” Rogers comments, “and a kid comes up to me and says, ‘I’m training for MasterChef.’ And we said, “When are tryouts?’ And he said, ‘Two years.'”

Packages sent to troops for Veterans Day sit at DeKalb post office
- Carla Caldwell, Morning Edition Editor
More than 100 care packages sent to troops in Afghanistan for Veterans Day in November are sitting at a post office in DeKalb County, reports WSB.
The packages, assembled by the King’s Bridge Retirement Community Center on Briarcliff Road, contain goodies and personal notes of encouragement penned by residents. World War II veteran and retired Brig. Gen. Harold Dye told WSB he put a lot of time into his note.
Jim Waldrop, the center's executive director told the station the situation is disappointing. Residents worked hard and put a lot of money into the packages, he said. “We had no notification they are just sitting there," he added.
A spokesperson for the United States Postal Service says the delay was caused by a paperwork error and that the packages would be sent out Tuesday.

2016 Kawasaki Ninja 1000
The heart of the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is a 1043cc Inline Four with 77 mm bore and 56 mm stroke, the same mill used in the Z1000 streetfighter. The power output is managed by two engine modes, Full and Low, with the Ninja utilizing a three-mode Kawasaki Traction Control system. The TC can also be turned off if the rider so desires. Kawasaki’s primary upgrade to the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 was to add new assist and slipper cams to the clutch, to give the bike a lighter pull at the lever and help stabilize the rear wheel during heavy downshifting. It utilizes a 41 millimeter fork and horizontally-mounted shock that are adjustable and stops with Kawasaki’s four-piston calipers grip dual 300 millimeter discs, and ABS.

The concept of UK citizenship is fundamental to the question of rights of residence and freedom of movement of the individual. An individual’s right to enter and remain in a country depends upon his or her status. Under international law no state may deny entry to its own nationals where they are not entitled to enter or remain in other states.
However, subject to international obligations, states may by law determine which non-nationals may enter and remain within their territory, and may remove those who enter and remain unlawfully. In recent decades the increasing number of refugees and other migrants have required new laws to regulate entry and entitlement to remain. In this chapter a broad overview of the law relating to citizenship, immigration asylum and extradition is given.
British citizenship may be acquired by birth, adoption, descent, registration or naturalization.
Birth Citizenship in UK:-
A legitimate child born in the United Kingdom, one of whose parents is a British citizen or is settled in the United Kingdom at the time of its birth assumes British citizenship. A child born outside marriage acquires citizenship through his or her mother, unless the child is legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his or her parents. Prior to the British Nationality Act 1981, any person (with minor exceptions) born in the United Kingdom became a British citizen,
The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, section 9, now removes from nationality legislation the distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children and repeals section 47 of the 1981 Act. The 2002 Act inserts a new definition of father into section 50 of the 1981 Act, stipulating that a father is either the husband at the time of the child’s birth of the woman who gives birth to the child, a person who is treated as a father under the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act 1990 or, where neither of those categories apply, any person who satisfies the prescribed requirements as to proof of paternity.
Adoption and legitimization:-
A child adopted by a British citizen becomes a British citizen from the date of the adoption order. Where the adopters are married, the child becomes a British citizen provided that one of the adoptive parents is a citizen.
A child born outside the United Kingdom becomes a citizen if one of his or her parents is a British citizen, provided that that parent has not also acquired citizenship through descent. Where the child is born to a parent who acquired citizenship through descent, the child will only acquire citizenship if the parent is an employee of the Crown, or other designated services.
After a period of residence in the United Kingdom, a person may acquire citizenship through registration. Children born in the United Kingdom who are not automatically entitled to citizenship through birth, have a right to be registered as citizens at the age of ten, provided that the child has not been absent from the United Kingdom for more than 90 days in each of the first ten years. A child is also entitled to registration if one of his or her parents acquires citizenship of becomes settled in the United Kingdom during his or her minority.
British Dependent Territories citizens, British Overseas citizens and British Protected Persons resident for five years in the United Kingdom are also entitled to registration. The Home Secretary has a general discretion to register any child as a British citizen. Under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, section 58, applicants for nationality by registration must satisfy the Secretary of State that they are of good character.
Naturalization as a British citizen is regulated by section 6 of and Schedules 1 and 5 to the British Nationality Act 1981. A five year residence period is a precondition for applying for naturalization, which is granted at the discretion of the Home Secretary.
The Home Secretary, in deciding whether to grant naturalization, must be satisfied that the applicant is of good character, has a command of the English, Welsh or Gaelic language, and intends to have his or her principal residence in the United Kingdom, unless employed in a designated form of employment as specified in the Act.
Naturalization may also confer citizenship on the spouse of a British citizen. Section 42 of the British Nationality Act 1981 provides that no certificate of naturalization may be granted unless the applicant has made the necessary oath and pledge. Schedule 5 to the Act requires those attaining citizenship to swear an oath of allegiance and pledge loyalty to the United Kingdom, upholding its democratic values and obeying its laws.
The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 lays down further requirements in relation to acquiring citizenship through naturalization. In the attempt to encourage assimilation of members of ethnic minority communities into British life, the Act amends the British Nationality Act 1981 and provides for citizenship ceremonies and a pledge of allegiance. The Act further requires that the applicant has sufficient knowledge about life in the United Kingdom.
British Overseas Territories Citizenship
Part II of the 1981 British Nationality Act, as amended by the British Overseas Territories Act 2002, governs Overseas Territories citizenship. A person may acquire citizenship through birth, adoption, descent, registration as a minor or naturalization, concepts which follow the same formula as that discussed above. Section 3 of the Act confers British citizenship on any person who was a British overseas territories citizen immediately before section 3 of the 2002 Act came into force.
Every person who is a British citizen, British overseas territories citizen or British subject, or a subject in a country listed in Schedule 3, has the status of a Commonwealth citizen.
Deprivation of Citizenship:-
The British Nationality Act 1981, as amended, provides for the deprivation of citizenship and for a right of appeal against a decision to deprive a person of his or her citizenship. Section 40(1) of the 1981 Act now provides that those liable to deprivation are British citizens, British Overseas Territories citizens, British Overseas citizens, British Nationals (Overseas), British subject, and British protected persons. The grounds on which citizenship may be deprived are that:
,.. the Secretary of State is satisfied that deprivation is conducive to the public good.
Furthermore, a person may be depraved of citizenship status if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the registration of naturalization was obtained by means of (a) fraud, (b) false representation, or (c) concealment of a material fact. A person may not be deprived of citizenship under section 40(2) if this would make him or her stateless. The Secretary of State does not have the power to deprive a person of British citizenship based on acts done before that person became a British citizen: R (Hicks) Secretary of Sate for the Home Department (2005).
The claimant, who was entitled to registration, had been detained by US authorities at Guantanamo Bay following allegations that he had given active support to and been involved in activities with Al-Quaeda The Home Secretary did not have power to deprive the claimant of a citizenship and the argument based on public policy could not succeed.
There is a right of appeal against a deprivation order to an adjudicator, and a right of appeal for both parties to appeal co a tribunal from the adjudicator on a paint of law. A further appeal, on a point of law, hes to the Court of Appeal or the Court of Season (if the adjudicator’s decision was in Scotland). The right of appeal docs not apply where the Secretary of State has certified that his decision was reached on information which should not be disclosed on the basis of national security, in the interests of relations with another country or otherwise in the public interest.
The Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 provides for the deprivation of rights of abode. Section 57 confers on the Home Secretary the power to remove a right of abode where such a right derives from possession of citizenship of another Commonwealth country and it conducive to the public good to remove or exclude the person from the United Kingdom.
European Union Citizenship
The Treaty on European Union 1992, as amended by the Treaty on European Union 1997, confers Union citizenship on the citizens of all Member States. Freedom of movement and sights of establishment are a central feature of the European Union. The elimination of border controls between Member States further extends the freedom of movement for persons within the territorial boundaries of the European Union. It has been agreed, however, that the United Kingdom may retain its border controls.
In addition to rights of residence, every citizen of the Union has the right to stand as a candidate and to vote in municipal elections in the Member State in which he or she resides, and to stand as a candidate and vote in elections for the European Parliament. Union citizens are entitled to protection from the diplomatic or consular authorities of any Member State. Citizens of the Union have the right to petition the European Parliament under Article 194 of the Treaty, and have the right also to apply to the European Union Ombudsman under Article 195.
Rights of Entry and Residence
Rights of entry and residence are inextricably linked to the question of citizenship. The United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which the United Kingdom is a party, provides that No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country. The United Kingdom entered a reservation in respect of this broadly phrased right under international law, by which it reserved the right to continue to apply such immigration legislation governing entry into, stay in and departure from the United Kingdom as it deems necessary.
Establishing the Right to Enter
The holding of a valid EU passport identifying that person as a British citizen or as a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies having the right of abode in the United Kingdom, or travel document of a European Union Member State entitles the holder to entry. Passports are issued under the royal prerogative through the Passport Agency. The case of R v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs expatriate Everett (1989) established that the decision to revoke or refuse a passport is subject to judicial review. Passports are only issued once the Passport Agency is satisfied as to the accuracy of the application and supporting documentation. Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1971 provides:
… When any question arises under this Act whether or not a person is a British citizen . . . it shall lie on the person asserting it to prove that he is.
The holding of a passport, however, is not conclusive proof of the right to enter. Where g passport has been obtained as a result of fraud or theft, an immigration officer who suspects that this is the case is entitled to require that the passport holder substantiate his or her claim to be the legitimate holder of the passport. In these situations, therefore, the burden of proof as to identity rests with the passport holder.
However, where the Passport Agency has indisputably issued a passport to the holder, albeit one of a limited duration, the question arises should a dispute occur over the matter as to where the burden of proof lies over the issue of the validity of that passport and the right of its holder to enter.

BARNEGAT, NJ - The first of projected improvements to township buildings is now complete. In reality, it’s more than an upgrade. Department of Public Works employees now have a brand new building as their headquarters on Lippencott Avenue.
According to Committeeman Al Cirulli, the construction required collaboration between multiple township employees and contractors. This included both administrative personnel and outside professionals. Notably, the township did not have to use bond money to complete the project.
“The building is beautiful,” said Cirulli. “DPW is going to be able to do things that they had to struggle with before.”
DPW Superintendent of Public Works Mike Ball agreed. “We moved into the building about two weeks ago, and everything is going great,” he said.
According to Ball, DPW already sees a number of benefits at the new location. Workers enjoy the proximity of fuel and salt storage right on site.
“Our shop is quite larger than the one in the past,” said Ball. “All of the apparatus we use can actually fit in the building. Improved storage space is also making our work more efficient.”
With the conclusion of the public works building, the township plans to move on to the reconstruction of both the police department and town hall structures. The preliminary work begins with the bidding process, as well as the assignment of a project manager.

In Katong Convent, we believe Art is essential in equipping students for the 21CC while developing them holistically for life. Our aim is to give our students both a visual and verbal language through which they can communicate effectively in life. Through our Art curriculum, we hope to imbue in our students the necessary artistic dispositions to enable them to be comfortable with ambiguity, have a capacity for idea generation and be equipped for investigative research, life skills applicable beyond an artistic context.
Lower Sec General Art Programme
Our lower secondary Art curriculum aims to equip our students with essential visual literacy skills and cultural awareness to enable them to learn and communicate visually, and to engage with society culturally. The curriculum also ensures a good foundation for students with a passion in Art who may aspire to continue their practice in the upper secondary level. The key pedagogy we use to engage our students in lower secondary is ‘Play’, where we hope to inspire in them curiosity and a keen sense of observation for the world around them.
Upper Sec General Art Programme
Our upper secondary curriculum comprises Studio Practice and Study of Visual Arts. The creation of artworks and the critical appraisal of artists and artworks are two modes of learning that we believe are central to a balanced art education. These components provide students with diverse learning experiences and skills in visual literacy. Undergirded by our belief in using the Inquiry-Based Learning approach in the teaching of upper secondary art, we seek to impart the necessary artistic dispositions in our students to enable them to flourish in their artistic endeavours in their next institute of learning.
Studio Practice engages students in the creation of artworks. Students hone their observation skills, learn to discriminate visual qualities and give form to their ideas and experiences when they are engaged in art making. It provides opportunities for students to acquire a working understanding of artistic processes and develop competency in manipulating various art media for self-expression, with opportunities to explore a good range of media and experiment with different techniques in their studio practice.
Study of Visual Arts
The Study of Visual Arts reinforces the critical learning experiences in Studio Practice. The awareness and critical appraisal of artists and artworks in the context which artworks are made allow students to experience and engage with the visual arts in greater breadth. The Study of Visual Arts emphasises the development of critical thinking skills and provides students with the opportunities to respond to and discover insights from artists/ artworks. Augmented by learning experiences to art institutions, engagements with artists and immersion in geographical spaces, the Study of Visual Arts can inculcate in students greater appreciation for the visual arts and their role in society.
Enhanced Art Programme (EAP)
The Enhanced Art Programme is an MOE-supported special Art programme which distinguishes the upper sec art curriculum in nine selected schools across Singapore. In Katong Convent, upper secondary students offering art enjoy the privilege of being in an EAP school in the unique way we deliver our programme. Beyond the regular general art programme for upper secondary, we include enrichment opportunities, such as artist workshops and learning journeys, which our students participate in over their Sec 3 & Sec 4 years. This may include opportunities to participate in activities with students from other EAP schools.
As one of the first four schools accorded with EAP status in Singapore, we celebrated 10 years of EAP in Katong Convent in 2021 with the launch of an online KC EAP art exhibition site. We proudly invite you to visit the link below to enjoy a special curation of artworks by past EAP students.
Development Initiative for Visual Art (DIVA)
DIVA is a mentoring approach for our DSA Visual Art students. Through DIVA, we aim to groom leaders in Visual Art through our 3 ‘E’ approach of Expose, Enrich and Extend, where our students get to experience both the depth and the breadth of learning in Visual Art.
For more information on the programme and DSA admission, please refer to our Admissions page.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The University of North Carolina Wilmington is among the best in the nation for its online bachelor’s programs, according to a new report.
U.S. News & World Report released its list of “2021 Best Online Bachelor’s Programs.” UNCW ranked 19th nationally on it and several graduate programs were also recognized among top online programs.
This is the third consecutive year that UNCW’s online bachelor’s programs have ranked in the U.S. News Top 20. UNCW is tied with George Washington University.
Several graduate programs were also recognized among the best online programs: Nursing; MBA Programs; Non-MBA Business Master’s Programs; and Education. Each program improved its ranking from 2020, and the graduate nursing program rose 33 places to 80th nationally, tied with the University of Iowa and the Lewis University College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
“UNCW provides students with multiple options for completing their degree programs, and this recognition reflects our commitment to academic excellence and an affordable education,” Chancellor Jose V. Sartarelli said.
U.S. News considers a variety of factors in developing its ranking of “Best Online Bachelor’s Programs,” which applies to undergraduate programs in which all required coursework is completed online. UNCW was recognized for its two qualifying programs, Nursing and Clinical Research.
UNCW was also recognized as one of only three UNC System schools on the publication’s list of Top 100 Public National Universities for 2021, ranking 95th. Four programs – part-time MBA, education, public administration and social work – are represented on the publication’s list of “2020 Best Graduate Schools.”
Additionally, UNCW was named a “Best Southeastern School” among 142 southeastern colleges that made the list of “2021 Best Colleges: Region by Region” by The Princeton Review and is on the publication’s list of Green Colleges. The university also has consistently been recognized in the Fiske Guide to Colleges, most recently in the 2021 edition, one of four UNC System schools to be included on the list of what the publication has characterized as “the best and most interesting” colleges and universities.


Who needs a form I-9?
Form I-9 is for an employee who makes a statement that he did not provide false documents in his job application and for an employer who confirms that he has checked all the documents before hiring an employee.
What is form I-9 for?
The purpose of the employment eligibility verification form is to authorize citizens and noncitizens to work in the United States. It must be filled out at the very beginning of the employment and renewed if a contract or an alien registration number expires.
Is it accompanied by other forms?
An employee must provide several documents by which to verify his identity and employment authorization. There are three lists of necessary documents included in this form. An employee may file the documents from List A or submit the combination of documents from List B and List C. If an employee cannot submit the required documents, he may file acceptable receipts in lieu of those listed in this form.
When is form I-9 due?
An employer must complete Section 3 of this form if the employee’s USCIS number is expired or if he re-hires the same employee for the same position within three years since this form has been originally completed. If an employee changed his name, he must update Section 1. An employer must retain this form for three years after the hiring date or for one year after employment ends.
How do I fill out form I-9?
If you are employee, give the correct personal information and alien number in Section 1. Attach the documents from the list you’ve chosen. If you are a translator and you fill out this form for an employee, you have to give your personal information also. If you are an employer, examine the documents you received and fill in the table in Section 2. There is also Section 3 for updating and reverification.
Where do I send form I-9?
The form I-9 is to be retained at the office of the hirer because, according to USCIS, the employer is responsible for completing Section 1 timely and properly.

Isle Clean The Beach!
Why do our beaches need cleaning?
Up to 12 million tonnes of plastic ends up in our oceans every year! This plastic ends up in our seas after escaping from landfill, flowing from our drains, falling off fishing boats, and even being dumped in the ocean on purpose!
This is bad because plastic pollution can seriously affect marine life. Large pieces of plastic like discarded fishing gear can trap animals like dolphins, turtles, and whales preventing them from reaching the surface to breathe. Smaller plastic items can be confused as food by fish and sea birds and are dangerous when consumed, often killing the animals that eat them. This plastic will then move through the food chain, including to humans who eat seafood.
Since plastic takes hundreds of years to break down, it can stay in the ocean for a very long time. Ocean currents move this pollution around the planet and tides wash it up on beaches, including those here on the Isle of Wight. This plastic builds up, creating a hazard for both people and animals that use the beaches, and will often be washed back into the sea by the tides.
What are we doing about it?
We run regular beach cleans around the Isle of Wight. These are often at beaches that accumulate a lot of rubbish during strong tides and storms. We have been able to remove large quantities of plastic from our beaches, ensuring they don't make it back into the ocean. We also use our presence at events to raise awareness about ocean plastics.
We have recently applied for some funding to make our beach cleans more efficient and eco-friendly! We have a local seamstress who will help us in making some reusable beach cleaning bags out of fabric that would otherwise be thrown away, such as offcuts from sail-making. We will also be trying to find or make a beach trolly to help in transporting large amounts of rubbish across the beaches.
Currently, we are collecting certain items which are found often on our beach cleans. One of our plans for this project is to create a 'museum' of plastic items with stories behind them, such as container spills. We may also use some to create an art piece. The main aim of these installments will be to raise awareness about ocean plastic.
What can YOU do?
You can join us at one of our beach cleans; check out upcoming ones here.
If you are able to get beach cleaning in your free time and find any of the following items, please let us know as we are currently collecting them for our future projects:
Nurdles (find out about them here)
Otrivin bottles or lids (see pictures)
If you find anything you think is interesting - for example something unexpected or from far away - please send us a picture, post it in our Facebook group, or tag us on Instagram!
If you have any ideas about creative ways we can deal with and raise awareness about ocean plastic, please contact us! If you have an idea for a related project of your own, consider joining the group and co-creating it with us!
If you'd like to help prevent the plastic pollution at the source, reduce your single-use plastic use! Check out our Re-isle project to find out more about how you can reduce your plastic consumption.

Trump has tried to distance himself from Manafort with a variation of "new phone, who dat?", pretending that he barely had a cup of coffee with the campaign before being replaced by Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon.
A fog of confusion has descended on Washington, driven by an unending pressure system of scandal and calls for investigation and impeachment of the Republican president, the Globe's Matt Viser and Annie Linskey report. I think it divides the country, I think we have a very divided country because of that and many other things.
"No. No. Next question", Trump replied during a press conference with the Colombian president when asked about the New York Times report that Comey had written a memo documenting the February 14 exchange.
Those comments followed a pair of early-morning Twitter posts questioning the need for the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as a special counsel to look into the collusion allegations.
Asked whether he urged Comey to ease up on the Flynn investigation, Trump said at a news conference, "No, no", before ordering the media to move on to the "next question".
Comey did not share his memos with top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, despite those concerns.
The interactions had previously been kept secret by the campaign but are now being reviewed as part of the FBI and congressional investigation into Trump's relationship with Russian Federation. McCarthy says it was
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the president asked FBI Director James Comey to drop his investigation into Flynn's ties to Russian Federation on the grounds that he's "a good guy". But Flynn was picked to be national security adviser, privy to the nation's deepest secrets, anyway. He was soon forced to resign for contacts with the Russian ambassador and his misleading statements about them.
Flynn and other Trump aides were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties through at least 18 calls and emails in the last seven months of the campaign.
Trump responded by tweeting that as president, he had authority to disclose whatever he'd like.
Will he keep mum or will he speak out?
"He felt the White House should have a clear separation from the FBI about ongoing investigations - there should never be any intimation that the President or the White House staff was leaning in and trying to influence live investigations by the FBI", the source said. Also on the schedule: meetings with Santos and with national economic director Gary Cohn. He apparently didn't use spellcheck on the word "counsel".

It seems to me that the internet is getting slower, more buggy and more downright frustrating. It’s gotten to the point where it’s almost unusable. In my daily life, I use various computers, at home and at work. They’re all slow and the internet connection on all of them (each one supposedly “high-speed”) reminds me of the dial-up connections of yore.
It goes without saying that, as more and more of the Earth’s teeming billions get online, there will be more traffic, more demands on already strained systems, more malicious software, more spam and more mistakes at all levels. This is to be expected.
But let’s face it. There are powerful forces that view the internet as a rival, as a dangerous force and as something that needs to be contained – or even controlled. The leftist media, though it uses the internet itself, does not like the freedom of speech that comes with it. It does not like the proliferation of unorthodox, unapproved, opinions. It fears the challenge to its own monopoly on “news” and entertainment.
Government uses the internet, but there can be little doubt that some government entities view it with suspicion and loathing – at least when others (who view those same government entities with suspicion and loathing) have equal access to it.
Conservatives and religious groups also use the internet, but they’ll do anything in their power to prevent others from viewing material they consider “offensive”. For some of them, the internet is a tool of Satan to infiltrate the minds of our young with pornography and all sorts of deviance and decadence.
Lots of powerful people have secrets and sometimes those secrets get leaked – usually through the internet. Witness Wikileaks.
Until recently there has been (we think) a balance of power between the various foes of the internet. The rest of us benefit from this balance, because the result is our own freedom of speech. But would I be particularly paranoid if I wrote that there might be some willful sabotage involved with the recent slowness? I don’t think it’s very far-fetched at all. Perhaps the balance of power is giving way to some sort of unholy alliance. Maybe religious conservatives are working together with government officials and leftist ideologues in order to curb the power of the internet – or at least make it gradually less attractive for the average joe.
I apologize for the lack of links in this post; I’m away from home and working on my very small travel laptop.
You’re probably just thinking faster.
I read 90% of what I read on the Internet on a Linux terminal RSS reader, so I would be the last to know if there were a slowdown.
Personally, I believe it has more to do with “the herd” moving away from cable and traditional programming to NetFlix and other similar on-demand Internet services for their gluttonous consumption of Buffy the Vampire Slayer re-runs. The protocols and frameworks aren’t really designed for that kind of content and it’s taking a while for the backbone to adjust to the new reality.
I believe that the profound extent to which multinational corporations now rely on the Internet for core business processes and the bullheaded quasi-Marxist ideological orientation of the standards organizations like W3C serve as a powerful check against conspirators conspiring against the Internet even if they had the audacity and resources to mount such a campaign.
don’t use their ‘scare terminology’ to refer to your astute observations. Your smart and good and they are dumb and bad. End of story.
You just might be right, but streaming video eats up a lot of our bandwidth.
Not only that, “ordinary” webpages load themseves up with complicated style sheets and auto-start videos. I saw this coming when broadband became a household stable: Instead of all our old static Web 1.0 era pages loading fast, most webmasters would load up their pages with goodies simply becuase they knew more bandwidth was available to more people.
So I’m not the only one who’s noticed this.
Also, pages tend to reference stuff from many different domains, which requires multiple DNS lookups.
Your halfsigma.com also loads quickly. I hopt you don’t “upgrade” it like WND, VDare, and Amren did.
Akamai seems to agree with your observations: Global average connection speed dropped 14% in Q4 2011 . They are not sure why.
( http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/30/akamai-global-average-connection-speed-dropped-14-in-q4-2011-down-5-3-in-u-s/ )
I don’t live in North America, but I’ve also noticed lately that I’m having trouble streaming youtube HD videos at 1080p. I haven’t had these kinds of problems in a few years.
@HS, I actually like the minimalist layout of your blog (not to mention the content), but that dating review site is plain awful with all those ads and marketing stuff. To top it off, there a link to Double Your Dating by deAngelo, probably the most marketed internet product in recent history.
Speaking of which, I believe ThePirateBay are doing an fine job in undermining the progressive entertainment industry. At least with TPB the indoctrinees don’t also have to pay the propaganda organs for the privilege of being brainwashed, which is one small step towards freedom. And free information means that you’re that much more likely to get to the truth. In my case, it started with the illicit download of a book by Ray Kurzweil several years ago (I have since purchased it). This book led me to other transhumanist sites, which led me to another book about libertarianism (thankfully free), which led me to finding out about Milton Friedman; this in turn led to his grandson Patri’s blog and finally Mencius Moldbug and the “far-right” HBDsphere. Without TPB, I would probably have different beliefs about racial differences and politics than the ones I have today.
The Pirate Party in Germany has been going ‘off the reservation’, though not in a way Jay’s likely to appreciate. Punch Der Spiegel into Google Translate (don’t rely on the english translations Spiegel gives you, you’ll miss the funniest stuff about how they’re using ‘shit’ too much) and have a laugh.
The dating site has no purpose except to make money by people clicking on the ads. However, revenue is down 60% from 2010 to 2011.
I don’t like the D’Angelo ad either, but I’m too lazy to figure out how to remove it. I no longer do any sort of programming, so I hope I never have to reprogram the C# code.
Great post, as always, JAY. A slight edit:
“The leftist media-government-accademia-corporate monster, though it uses the internet itself, does not like the freedom of speech and thought that comes with it. It does not like the proliferation of unorthodox, unapproved, opinions. It fears the challenge to its own monopoly on information”.
HAPPY HBD DAY!

Baku, Azerbaijan, June 7
By Farhad Daneshvar – Trend:
Twin terror attacks rocked Tehran on June 7. As reports said, several armed people tried to break their way into the Parliament building. The attackers managed to get inside the building and engaged in a shootout with the security forces. Meanwhile, another attack took place at the Imam Khomeini Shrine, which involved armed terrorists and suicide bombers.
Iranian authorities said that at least 12 people were killed in addition to assailants in the terror attacks in Tehran. Four attackers were killed in the Parliament building, and two more, including a suicide bomber, were killed in the Imam Khomeini Shrine. Several pilgrims were also injured in the Khomeini Shrine attack.
A separate terrorist group in the country was detained before it managed to carry out any terror attack. Fars news agency issued a report saying that ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Tehran.
13:58 (UTC +4) Security has been restored at the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum in Tehran, IRIB news agency reports.
According to an informed source, a bomber blew himself up, another one was shot dead by security forces, and eventually the law enforcement forces detained a female assailant who was earlier wounded.
Four pilgrims were wounded. A mausoleum gardener is among the victims.
13:33 (UTC +4) Iran’s Press TV reported that shooting is still heard at the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum.
13:10 (UTC +4) ISNA news agency reports that at least 35 have been transferred to nearby hospitals following two terror attacks this morning in Tehran.
12:55 (UTC +4) IRIB reports that another suicide bombing was carried out at the Imam Khomeini shrine.
12:28 (UTC +4) IRGC Special Forces have arrested two suspect terrorists at Imam Khomeini shrine.

The incident has left several people injured, Fars news agency tweeted.
The officials have not revealed any details regarding the attack, or the casualties thus far.
In a separate incident on the same day, several attackers reportedly tried to storm the building of Iran's parliament, engaging in a shootout with the guards.
According to reports, several people got injured as a result of the attack.
According to ISNA, the attacker of the tomb has committed suicide bombing following the attack.

A report that said Arcadia Group, behind brands including Topshop, Burton and Dorothy Perkins, is preparing to appoint administrators from Deloitte as soon as next week, could mean another headache for the commercial property sector.
Sir Philip Green’s high street empire is reportedly facing collapse, putting thousands of jobs at risk, according to Sky News.
Arcadia said: “We are aware of the recent media speculation surrounding the future of Arcadia. The forced closure of our stores for sustained periods as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a material impact on trading across our businesses. As a result, the Arcadia boards have been working on a number of contingency options to secure the future of the Group’s brands. The brands continue to trade and our stores will be opening again in England and ROI as soon as the Government Covid-19 restrictions are lifted next week.”
Employees will closely monitor the story, as will landlords, of which there are a number.
Arcadia has more than 500 standalone stores, and a number of listed property companies have shops across their estates that are used by Arcadia brands. These include:
British Land (circa 20 Arcadia stores)
Capital & Regional (2 Arcadia stores)
Hammerson (15 Arcadia stores)
Landsec (10 Arcadia stores)
NewRiver (4 Arcadia stores)
These only represent a tiny part across these landlord’s wider store portfolios, but any uncertainty surrounding a tenant comes at a difficult time.
A number of retail property owners have seen rental income hit in 2020 as scores of retail and hospitality businesses have struggled to pay rent. Numerous high street businesses have suffered from lockdowns, forcing them to close sites and have less, or no, trade.
There have been a number of firms seeking a Company Voluntary Arrangement this year. It is a restructure model that firms use to seek rent cuts or shop closures.
Last year Arcadia agreed a CVA.


The T60 Max, like its predecessors, is available in a choice of Pro and Luxe suspension tunes, with Pro being the more work-focused option with the highest payload rating.
Our Lava Grey test vehicle is the softer-riding and premium-priced Luxe version, which with LDV’s latest 2.0-litre four-cylinder bi-turbo diesel comes standard with a six-speed manual, or optional eight-speed ZF automatic transmission like our example for a list price of $42,621. This compares favourably with Chinese rival GWM and its premium Cannon X at $45,490 and Ssangyong’s top-shelf Musso Ultimate XLV at $44,150.
The T60 Max Luxe comes standard with 17-inch alloys and Giti 245/65R17 tyres with a full-size steel spare. There’s also keyless entry and start, leather-accented seat trim with six-way power-adjustable and heated front seats, adjustable a/c vents in the centre console for rear seat passengers, spray-in tub-liner, LED headlights/DRLs, automatic rear diff-lock, rear parking sensors, reversing camera, 360-degree camera and tyre pressure monitoring.
Connectivity includes two USB ports and a 12-volt accessory plug, plus there’s a six-speaker infotainment system with landscape-style 10.25-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. However, you don’t get other desirables like side-steps, sports bar, tonneau cover or tow-bar. And its five-star ANCAP rating, achieved in 2017, does not include AEB and other important active features.

THE ANATOMY OF AN AMERICAN REVOLUTION
By Greg Evensen
November 21, 2009
term revolution is defined as sudden change. Sometimes it is subtle
and sometimes it is violent. It can manifest itself through unrelenting
political tyranny, military and police oppression of the populace, or
as a result of the government’s failure to govern as the people
have expected and demanded. Although the reasons can be many and the
results can vary, the result is usually the same. The people are forced
into moving against their rulers. Not because they got up that day and
decided to revolt, but because they simply could not face another day
of torment, turmoil, and defeat at the hands or their tormentors. Leaders--who
consistently and continually sacrifice good government, sound politics,
real justice, common sense writing of the law for a “greater good
for the world” mentality, and outlaw the sense of openness of
the process and the ultimate rightness of government for the American
people--have abdicated any legal authority they might have once held,
and have forced the remaining option for real change upon their people,
In many ways, the past one hundred years of breathtaking kingdom building in America by banks, industry, the political machine, and compliance by government in assisting the takeover of our civil authority, is a study in personal power elites shamelessly securing a selfish wealth of authority under the guise of “law.” Americans revere law and know so little about constitutional government and the legal premise that has been ruling us in the last century alone. We have been victims of “admiralty law” in the courts, bogus and unconstitutional taxation, money laundering/extortion by the Federal Reserve Bank and of course thousands of entitlement programs bestowed by socialist regime builders from Wilson to Obama. We have allowed our state governments to be subverted by, intimidated by, and used by, the whorehouse on Capital Hill. Elected rather than appointed senators sealed the deal.
God’s viewpoint makes it clear that to wage war one must have justification. Thus a “just war” must have several elements to be claimed as righteous and therefore acceptable to the people who find themselves at war. It could be argued that that viewpoint is reserved only for people of different nations who are at war with each other. I do not think so. I believe that any time individuals take up arms against another faction regardless of its location, then the “just war” doctrine comes into play. I believe that is one reason hostilities have not already broken out in America. Many do not believe the time is at hand. WAKE UP< AMERICA, WE HAVE ARRIVED!
So how then will history look upon those of us who believe that the people who have trusted their lives to the Constitution have suffered enough and that as a result of the government’s refusal to govern with morality and a sense of constitutional correctness, and that their ultimate survival depends on revolution judge us? Based on the facts alone, very well, I believe. It has now become a matter of survival. To Americans who know what I am talking about, survival here means literally their lives, fortunes, and honor as American citizens to chart their own course towards a destiny of their own choosing, not that mandated by a socialist or communist in Washington.
The list of egregious actions against the America citizenry is far too great to be repeated here, but includes just these few examples to make the point that this is but the preamble for a manifest of charges that would justify a declaration of war against any criminal enterprise including that which is killing our nation from Washington, D.C.
A FEW GRIEVANCES:
The unbridled killing of our children by Nazi’s at Planned Parenthood.
* The raiding of our nation’s treasury and the ruination of our currency.
* Financial support for a world government seat of power in New York.
* Use of our military as mercenaries/illegal service overseas and in the USA.
* The militarization of the American civilian police agencies by Washington
* The tolerance and re-election of oath breaking elected representatives.
* The financing of government indoctrination through public school systems
* Encouragement of illegal criminals to subvert local programming/services. (Criminal means just that. If you enter illegally you are a criminal!)
Government programming decrees that we cannot afford nor want.
• Government programming laws that are unconstitutional.
• Government edicts that are destroying our state’s sovereignty.
• Acceptance of government censorship of truth and freedom.
• Allowing the CDC and drug giants to dictate our health choices.
• Use of our military as enforcers against Americans who protest.
• Control of media outlets by government to lie to the American public.
• The destruction of our personal sovereignty as state citizens to resist.
• Taxation hidden in legislation to cripple or destroy America’s wealth.
• The destruction of small business by regulators within government.
• The destruction of family trusts by confiscatory taxation
list is just the beginning. I intentionally left out the many abominable
practices of government that allow death to infants, promotion of perverted
and detestable lifestyles, the dismal failure of the church to teach
the citizens about the way of God and the Holy Scriptures. The politics
run amuck and speech correctness at its worst to even publicly discuss
the issues surrounding the evil and sinful practices of those in charge
of the governments in Israel, Great Britain (the communist embodiment
of the seat of Illuminati power) and of course the failed “democratic”
nations that include the Vatican, Canada, Mexico, France, Japan, Russia,
Germany and so many others on the so-called “good guys”
list. Good guys, my ass. Partners in crime is more like it and heading
the list is the government being rammed down our throats by Pelosi,
Reid, Shumer, Biden, Feinstein, Boxer, Graham, Levin, and the other
roughly 515 out of 535 serving the dictator-in chief.
Based on available data, who allowed the Islamic bastard at Ft. Hood to bring havoc to so many? Where were the military police? No one on base with a loaded weapon?? Police from Killeen had to do the dirty work. Islam is a wretched, Satan inspired movement worldwide that has no justification for existence, let alone soothing words of “understanding” by Obama, military leaders and “don’t jump to any conclusions” morons in the Pentagon. Well, Secretary Gates, I jumped to a conclusion and it is real simple. I do not choose to “co-exist” with Marxists, socialists or Islamic Jihadists. Confronted with violence from them or any further attempts to eradicate this nation’s historic Republic status will result in an historic summoning to a call to arms. My nation, my state, my community, my home, my family, my friends, and my defenseless neighbor’s lives and well-being are at stake. If you can’t defend Ft. Hood, Mr. Surrender-in-Chief, I don’t expect you to do anything well except prance down the steps from Air Force One like a Harlem Globetrotter.
The recent and historical statements by several leading government czars extolling the virtues of Marx and Mao are proof indeed that this is not just an emerging battleground of politics and the destruction of the American nation and its civilian infrastructure, this is indeed a battle for the very life of a nation that has been infiltrated by and being forced on the people by traitors in every sense of the word. My argument needs no hyperbole to make its case. All one needs to do is read the public statements by those in power and the case is made on its own. The enemy has clearly distinguished himself to the eyes and minds of the subjugated people. Augustan’s manifest has been understood, accepted and is now ready for use as justification for what must come.
As many of you know, I have been actively working with groups across the nation in an effort to help them be fully ready to defend what is theirs to defend. The response has been reassuring, but more needs to be done. Please follow our efforts at www.theheartlandusa.com. If you cannot come to a two day training session, then the combined 9 hour Castle Defense 1 & 2 DVD’s will take you through much of what you could have received. Time is so perilously short. Because many of the groups do not want publicity, we are not posting their locations. We will hold at least six camps in Michigan next summer for 40-50 each camp. More details will follow at my web-site.
Additionally, as a leader in a 24 state movement (so far) to unite those who wish to work with me and others to prepare support groups to work for “republic values” and to ready a populace to face “all enemies, foreign and domestic,” our national effort will soon gather its leaders to accomplish goals necessary to insure that our children and grandchildren have hope for a future free from the evil that surrounds us at every turn.
I hear from legalistic religious people who are satisfied with “God’s judgment” and care little for a common response from the people. I hear from socialists, communists and sodomites who are THRILLED that the USA has been sold our and is being Obamaized (“change” we can live with? No, die for!) into the pitiful mutant of a nation that our founders envisioned. I hear from people who are content to revel in their situation, unwilling to prepare, resist, or do anything accept watch soaps and “Willie the WonderPreacher.” Save me the drivel and time. Do something, do ANYTHING to save our butts from a kickin’ like you never saw if we continue to do nothing. Oh, and for that last group who complain that all I do is rant and talk, you would need a change of undies if you knew what we have and continue to do while you just complained. “Let history know, that you were not our countrymen…..”

These logistics PCs feature the latest internal WLAN antennas to provide resilient reception capabilities and are designed specifically for mobile use.
Continuous uninterrupted data transfer is essential for smooth operations in warehouses and logistics. High reliability WLAN reception on logistics terminals is critical when it comes to equipping a fleet of industrial vehicles. Depending on the WLAN coverage and application, noax logistics touchscreen computers can be equipped with integrated or external antennas. This allows the PCs to be adapted to the respective infrastructure. The logistics industrial PCs support both frequency bands of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
Two common problems when moving between WLAN (Wi-Fi) access points are intermittent connectivity and loss of data. Noax counteracts these performance limitations with the use of improved connectivity components and specific positioning of integrated antennas (external antennas are optionally available). The noax logistics terminal has several options to adjust the internal wireless settings to improve connectivity. The high reliability transmission capabilities and optimized design result in better connectivity and reduced loss of data.
WLAN coverage may not be available everywhere, especially on large company campuses. For very large campuses where complete coverage with WLAN is not possible, noax logistics terminals can be equipped with a mobile phone card and suitable antennas. The ability to utilize cellular networks guarantees mobility and data availability.
These features ensure highly reliable mobile applications for noax logistics terminals. This is critical where continuous and uninterrupted data transfer is essential.
