Sheriff Dumps Inmate Labor Use At Convenience Center
KEVIN HALPERN, Courier Co-Editor
Friday, January 28, 2011 10:18 am
Cannon County Sheriff Darrell Young said Friday use of inmate labor full time at the Cannon County Convenience Center will be discontinued.
Sheriff Young said he will allow trustys who work with the Cannon County Maintenance Department and Cannon County Litter Control to assist in cleanup at the convenience center, but added the inmates will no longer have direct contact with the general public.
The sheriff recently pulled inmates from working at the convenience center because of lack of adequate supervision by county employees who work there.
"The public has wore my phone out thanking me for taking inmates out of there," Sheriff Young said.
"I know I can't please everyone, but I have to do what is best for the sheriff's department and the jail," Sheriff Young said. "Since we have stopped allowing them to go there, no more tobacco or drugs have been found in the jail, and that used to be an everyday occurrence."
Sheriff Young said the inmate work crews of Darrell Fisher (county maintenance) and Russell Paschal (litter control) will be permitted to perform cleanup work at the convenience center as desired or needed by Cannon County Executive Mike Gannon. Fisher and Paschal have had training in supervising trustys, the sheriff said.
"They will not be coming into direct contact with the public or handling garbage," Sheriff Young said.
Gannon said Friday that although there will be less people working at the convenience center now, it will continue to maintain its current schedule of operation.
"That's his (Sheriff Young's) decision and I will have to work within what he decides," Gannon said. "I do appreciate the sheriff continuing to allow us to use inmates for the maintenance and litter crews."
Gannon added that he will work with the employees of the convenience center to "keep receiving trash there as convenient as possible" for the general public.
Currently three county employees work at the center, which is open 60 hours per week.


The Los Angeles Planning Commission voted today to adopt a new sign ordinance that would prohibit brightly-lit digital billboards and giant vinyl supergraphics citywide but allow them in 21 potential sign districts.
The commission also voted to establish a city task force to annually review the impact of the new sign ordinance.
The 6-3 vote marked an end to a sometimes hotly debated issue that pitted City Hall lobbyists and developers against anti-clutter activists and neighborhood councils since January.
However, more recently, the debate centered on sign districts,
which were introduced in 2002 when the City Council adopted a ban on
all new billboards. As a concession to advertisers, the city agreed to
allow hundreds of new signs – but only in certain highly urbanized
areas, including Hollywood.
Today's decision potentially allows sign districts in 21 “regional” and “regional commercial” centers including Koreatown, most of Chinatown, a shopping district in Boyle Heights, historic downtown Van Nuys, a big area of San Pedro and most of Wilshire Boulevard between San Vicente Boulevard and the 110 freeway.
Commissioners Michael Woo, Cindy Montanez and Father Spencer Kezios
voted against the planning department's recommendations. Last week, Woo
complained that the plan provided too many exceptions and would mean a
“massive proliferation of signs in the city.”
At today's packed, early morning meeting at Van Nuys City Hall, Woo
said he still wasn't “completely comfortable” with the proposed sign
“If you look at the regional centers eligible this isn't just places
like L.A. Live,” he said. “It includes Van Nuys Boulevard . . . Boyle
Heights and Baldwin Hills.”
Woo, who grabbed a few low cheers from the crowded room, wanted to
know what part of our culture would be better served by having a “huge
supergraphic with a giant Pepsi bottle staring down at you.”
Voicing his approval for the project was commissioner Sean Burton,
who argued that the new sign law would result in a significant
reduction of signs citywide. Also in favor was commission president
Bill Roschen. “It is undoubtedly a win for our city,” he said.
Dennis Hathaway, president of the Coalition to Ban Billboard Blight, called the new sign ordinance a compromise.
“This has the teeth to do it,” he said, “assuming the City Council
doesn't throw exceptions to it, and the city is able to enforce it . .
. It is not worth the paper it is printed on if it isn't vigorously
The commission forwarded the new sign ordinance to the City Council,
which will most likely vote on it in June, before a sign moratorium

I have been following this group for about an year and it is a great
help site. I have a 2000 Audi A6. I got this last year. The car works
great with regular typical maintenance. The temperature around here
has dropped and it is about zero Fahrenheit in the morning. This is
Yesterday, the cars exhaust (especially the drivers side of the dual
exhaust system) gave some smoke along with the regular steam that you
would see due to the cold weather. It was still there even after
driving for about 3 miles. I could smell something oily or rubbery in
the smoke. I checked all the oil levels. They were fine. I took it to
a car care center about 4 miles at a low speed and had a friend follow
me. The smoke became less as compared to when I started. The mechanic
said everything looks fine. He said that it is not uncommon to see
some smoke in winters and it will go away. I had gotten an oil change
as it was going to be due in few days. I change it at about 5000 miles
though the computer says 8000 miles. During the oil change he checked
for coolant and any other leaks and he could not detect anything. The
car dash board also does not display anything. I still could smell
something very less but no smoke from the exhaust this morning. This
is my and my car's first winter at such low temperatures. Could you
please throw some light.
And does Audi 2000 A6 provide heated air near the feet. It is always
cold at the floor.
Many thanks in advance.

NO COVER AVAILABLE, WILL UPLOAD WHEN THERE IS ONE
Holy molly. I was kind of worried of the new album since Frankie Sinatra came out, but now, with this track, I realized that there is literally nothing to worry about.
Colour is a really sweet neo-psychedelic track. It reminds me a lot of Black Moth Super Rainbow and some Animal Collective (must be the vocals).
When the song began, I thought that they had made a synthwave track, but then the percussion kicks in and a lot of mega dreamy things happen at the same time. I really love the xylophone thingy that sounds across all of the song. There is even a xylophone solo, it’s incredible. Something more that I really like is the reversed audio in some parts, it sounds really great.
Overall, this track is a very warm, summer-ish kind of song. I really hope it becomes a hit or something, it would be awesome.

For online classes, you can get into class using Zoom codes. Please enter your full name for easy check-in.
No class is ever the same as the students in the room are never the same. Our main focus for each class are safe alignment and encouraging each student to explore their personal yoga practice. We are thrilled to host amazing yoga classes at Yess Yoga.
Off the Mat
An adventurous, energizing class that combines elements of dance and yoga. With the support of familiar asana shapes and principles, as well as influence from modern dance technique, we will venture off the mat to discover different opportunities for flow. This class is all about personal movement exploration, with plenty of instructional support. We begin each session with a somatic warm-up before transitioning to guided floor work. Near the end, we learn a short sequence that builds on the class themes and provides an opportunity for creative expression and play. We get to share and to witness each other’s movement, which is usually everyone’s favorite part!
No previous dance experience required. Familiarity with common yoga postures, a willingness to roll on the floor, and an appreciation for play are recommended. The class is adapted to the movement ability of those in the room.
Group Movement Series:
Each 3 week series will offer a specific skill-building focus and a movement phrase that we will build upon each class. Please join us for the full three week series to cultivate trust within the group and to strengthen skills.
The Basic to Basics Workshop is an open class offered the last Tuesday of each month for new or returning folks to learn the fundamentals of Off the Mat Movement.

PMI GOLD - COMMITTED TO GOLD PRODUCTION IN GHANA, AFRICA'S SECOND LEADING PRODUCER
Our strategic objective is to become a West African gold producer, initially by mining at our 100%-owned Obotan Gold Project, located within the Asankrangwa Gold Belt.
Our properties, totalling 580 square km in area, are all located in Ghana's Golden Triangle, an area in south-west Ghana with combined current reserves and historical gold production of 168 million ounces. Gold has been mined in Ghana for over 1000 years, and the famous AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi mine has been in continuous production for 113 years.
The bulk of Ghana's gold production has come from the Ashanti and Bibiani Gold Belts, however situated in between these is the lesser known, but highly prospective, Asankrangwa Gold Belt. Interest in the Asankrangwa Gold Belt was renewed in 1995 after the first modern airborne magnetic survey was completed over south-west Ghana. The survey identified major deformation zones and cross structures that were spatially related to Ashanti's Obuasi mine and to the numerous historical gold mines and showings that define the Belt.
PMI Gold has received widespread recognition for the quality and potential of its gold portfolio in south-west Ghana. Central to this portfolio is our flagship Obotan Gold Project which, with the adjoining Asanko Gold Project, provides a commanding strategic position covering gold targets over 70 strike kilometres in the under-explored Asankrangwa Gold Belt.
Significant progress has been achieved at the Obotan Gold Project towards our goal to become a West African gold producer. Results of a feasibility study have confirmed a financially viable and technically robust mining operation based on a gold price of US$1300/ounce. This will be PMI Gold's first gold operation in West Africa, contingent on receiving all development approvals and a financial investment decision. The Company also holds the Kubi Gold Project in the Ashanti Gold Belt, located some 65 kilometres south-west of the Obotan Gold Project and 15km south and along strike of the 60M ounce (pre-mined) Obuasi goldfield owned by AngloGold Ashanti.

JPS parents have concerns about virtual learning
Jackson Public Schools students began their all-virtual fall semester Monday, but some parents said they've been left without adequate resources for their children.
The mother of a Jim Hill High School student said the district ran out of laptops to issue to students.
"They put me on hold and said, 'Well, ma'am, we're out of laptops. Your son will have to do a work packet,'" she said.
The woman didn't want to be identified for this story. She said she made sure her son was registered early and was in line for a school-issued laptop, but the call never came for him to pick it up.
She said district leaders told her her son will have to complete a work packet every week until a computer becomes available.

It's been nearly a year since Don Draper and the gang graced us with their presence on Mad Men, but on Sunday night, the AMC '60s period drama returns for its sixth season. And with it comes all the boozing, infidelity, fashion, bad personal choices, and nuanced existential study of mid-century America that we've all come to expect.
Well, probably. As with previous seasons of Mad Men, creator Matthew Weiner has been pretty tight-lipped about what the next chapter of the show will bring; this time around, his anti-spoiler agenda even involved requests sent to reviewers not to reveal new characters, "new relationships or partnerships," or even the year the season takes place – so who knows what's coming.
(Spoiler alert: The rest of this post will discuss previous seasons of Mad Men.)
Regardless, a fair amount of change seems to be on the horizon for the show, much like the '60s culture it depicts. After seasons worth of *Mad'*s men carousing, cheating on their wives, treating their female colleagues like second-class citizens and globally being awful to women in general, the female characters really stepped up in Season 5. Peggy ventured out on her own; Don's second wife Megan (mostly) stuck to her guns and pursued her acting career; Joan became a partner in Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (albeit via unfortunate prostitution-related circumstances); and Sally Draper finally moved into young adulthood (and maybe outgrew her creepy relationship with former neighbor boy Glenn?).
This expansion of female characters, of course, correlated to a realization amongst the lads of the show that they might actually need the women in their lives for stuff beyond sex and cooking. Or maybe they just realized they don't like it when they can't control them; it's hard to tell. And it's the late-1960s in New York, so second-wave feminism is go and the tides are changing, whether Roger Sterling saw it during an LSD trip or not (more on that later).
Speaking of timeframe: Last season left off in roughly the spring of 1967, but Weiner has promised that the show is "going to skip ahead in time." How far is anyone's guess; hopefully not too far, because skipping over the Summer of Love just seems criminal. Also, the closer the show gets to the 1970s, the worse the suits get. If Don Draper ever walks on screen in a floral print butterfly collar, all is lost. It would also be nice for the show to address more of the Civil Rights Movement, particularly since the show's timeframe is (or was) approaching the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968.
Anyway, it's not spoiling anyone to speculate, so with that in mind below is refresher of on where we left the characters of Mad Men last season and what we'd like to know about their fates in the coming one.
Don's Ongoing Battle With Loneliness Continues (Again)
The last thing we heard on Mad Men was a stunning woman at a bar asking Don (Jon Hamm),"Are you alone?" This, of course, is the question he's been trying to answer for himself since the start of the show. In the process of hiding his former identity as Dick Whitman, he lost the ability to connect with anyone, except his fake wife Anna Draper. Who died.
At least with his marriage to young, vibrant Megan he finally seemed to be opening up to someone – as much as he can. But her determination to be her own person – in this case an actress – seems to be thwarting his ideas about the kind of wife he wants, so he's asking himself once again if he is really alone. Oh, he's also been seeing visions of his dead brother Adam and subsequently telling him, "Don't leave me." So there's that.

The client will be expected to provide electrical power, running water, and toilet facilities where reasonably possible.
Irrespective of any insurance carried by Carpet Image Ltd Limited, the customer must inform his or her insurer that flooring works are to be carried out on the property and satisfy himself or herself that he/she is adequately covered by insurance.
Unless expressly agreed, Carpet Image Ltd is not liable for the loss of or damage to the works, materials on site or any property of the customer, unless the same is caused by negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977) of or breach of contract by us.
In the event of cancellation by the client, the client agrees to notify Carpet Image Ltd in writing or by email one week before the project start date.
If the customer elects to cancel our services after we have begun work, the customer agrees to pay the deposit, which will cover the materials and pay for any work undertaken.
Any other materials that have not been purchased may be refunded less a 50% re-stocking fee unless this involves a carpet or floor that has been cut. In that event, legally, this is classed as a bespoke item, and no refund will be made.
In the event that the conditions agreed to prior to commencement of the project are not met, if the property is not in a condition that will allow us to begin the project or if we do not have unimpeded access to the floor, then we reserve the right to leave the site and return when the conditions have been met.
In this instance, the client accepts liability for that day’s payment of labour and any other expenses that might arise from the postponement of the project.
If we leave in the morning, then a half-day’s labour payment is due for each fitter.
For projects that are scheduled for three days or more and where the project has been scheduled more than 14 days in advance, we will require seven days’ notice to postpone. In the event that this is not given a charge of £350 + VAT day will be levied.
All necessary materials can and will be provided by us unless otherwise agreed and will always be of high quality and used appropriately as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Where it is necessary to match existing decor, our work will be carried out with this in mind, using appropriate materials that provide a match where possible.
Carpet Image Ltd is not responsible for the performance or suitability of any materials, parts, or products purchased directly by the client.
2.7 Changes to your quote
Any quote or estimate is subject to revision if there are any changes to the requested work’s nature or extent. This may apply to both labour and materials. However, the quote will not be amended without consultation with the client.
2.8 Completion time-scales
Estimated completion times are guidelines, and although we will endeavour to complete the work in the time frame intimated, we will not be held liable for failure to complete the scheduled works within the estimated time frame. Similarly, if we finish a project more quickly than estimated, the price of the quote will remain the same.
2.9 Continuous work
Unless expressed and agreed in writing by Carpet Image, the client agrees that the project will be continuous for its duration and unimpeded by any other tradesperson.
Failure to inform us of either of these events will mean extra charges and time will need to be added at the discretion of the management.
2.10 Storage of tools
We may, on occasion, request that tools be left on site overnight. The client reserves the right to decline such requests.
2.11 Issues with sub-floors
We are responsible only for the work we have undertaken. We will not be held responsible for the standard of work undertaken by third parties.
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that the sub-floor (the floor which the ply-board or the screed is attached to) is of sufficient quality to enable us to guarantee the floor we are going to fit on top of it.
We will not fit a floor covering if we do not believe the sub-floor is stable under any circumstances.
In the event that a project is postponed or even called off because there are sub-floor issues, the client agrees to compensate Carpet Image by paying the daily rate for any fitters scheduled for the project, any materials used or waste removed or any costs associated. In the event of a cancellation, the deposit will be retained by Carpet Image to cover expenses.
2.12 Damages and sub standard workmanship
It is the responsibility of the client:
To remove valuable and/or fragile items from the areas to be decorated.
To remove all electrical goods.
Move or hang up soft furnishings such as curtains and drapes that may impede floor laying.
Cover anything and everything that needs protection unless it can be removed. Assistance can be provided with the repositioning and/or removal of bulky furniture items and white goods, but will incur an additional charge.
We reserve the right to decline to move white goods if the condition or position of the plumbing may incur a higher than normal risk of damage to the equipment or the property.
We reserve the right to decline to move particularly heavy or bulky items if they present a higher than accepted health and safety risk.
Where items cannot be covered or protected, but could easily be removed, we will request that they are removed before work commences. Nevertheless, sometimes we may assist you in moving these items; however, we will not be held liable for damage to such items if they have not been removed prior or if we have helped remove them.
Scrapes and scratches.
Carpets and flooring are sometimes long, heavy, and awkward to manoeuvre, especially up-stairs. The client should expect some minor scratches to the walls, skirting boards, home decor, stairs, or banisters when lifting these items and fitting any type of flooring.
We will not carry out any redecoration afterward nor provide compensation for this. We will endeavour to ensure that there is as little or no damage, but the responsibility for installing new flooring into a property rests with the client, it is often a major undertaking in a confined space, and you should be prepared for touch-ups.
New paintwork and wallpaper are especially vulnerable and should be allowed to dry fully. A minimum of two weeks is recommended.
In the event of breakage or damage to the property, Carpet Image Ltd will notify the client immediately and set out steps to remedy the situation. Similarly, if at the end of the job, the client is dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, they must inform us as soon as possible.
Clients must allow Carpet Image Ltd to effect a remedy using our own tradespeople, and under no circumstances will we be held liable for the costs of reparations by third parties that we have not expressly agreed to in writing.
The client must notify us in writing within 24 hours of an alleged breakage or damage caused by our employees. An accusation without any evidence is an accusation.
To make a strong case, please take pictures of your areas immediately before the work is carried out so we can cross-reference them with the images we take afterward.
2.13 Additional work
No additional work will be carried out unless the service has been quoted and agreed in writing or via email and paid for.
2.14 Completion of the project
The client must be in attendance on the last day of the project to go over the project and ensure it has been completed. This is for the client’s benefit.
If the client cannot be available, then they must appoint a representative able to make binding decisions on the client’s behalf. Please check everything carefully with your fitter before he leaves.
2.15 Termination of the contract by Carpet Image
Carpet Image Ltd will not tolerate aggressive or rude behaviour, racism, nationalism, sexism, homophobia, or ageism directed towards any of its staff or tradespeople and reserve the right to terminate the project at any time. The client agrees to pay for any work completed up until that point.
2.16 Photography and video
The client accepts that photos of the completed project may be taken as evidence of completion and used to form the basis of an electronic job sheet.
The client gives permission for those images to be used for promotional purposes, the copyright of which is owned by Carpet Image Ltd
2.18 Weekend projects and out of hours
Unless expressly stated in the quotation, we do not work outside the hours of 8 am to 6 pm weekdays.
If your project is time-sensitive and you request us to work over the weekend to complete a project for you then, if we agree to do it, there will be x2 surcharge for any day rate quoted or any fitting rate quoted for the areas that need to be addressed over those times. You will be made aware of this at the time, and this will be added to your final settlement balance.
2.19 Working unimpeded
All quotes and estimated completion times are for the floor layers to work unimpeded. That means unless it is stated in the quote, we assume that there will be no other tradespeople working on site when we are laying the floor.
Anyone else in that workspace will have a detrimental effect on the finish and the project completion times. We will not be held responsible for working under impeded conditions.The client agrees that all estimated timings and warranties are voided in this instance.
In the event that any tradesperson or some other instance occurs to impede the floor layer that has not been agreed and stated in writing on the quote, then we reserve the right to stop the project and return at a time that is convenient to us to complete the project. Extra charges will apply and will be agreed with the client at the time.
Section 3 – Payment
3.1 Payment methods
We accept Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Maestro, MasterCard Debit, but not American Express cards, and by prior agreement only BACS transfers for deposits and in settlement of your account.
In order to secure a booking, we may ask for your credit or debit card details. In the event of a chargeable cancellation or missed appointment, you agree that this card may be used to process the relevant fee.
3.2 Payment time scales
The client agrees to settle any outstanding balances upon completion of the work. Furthermore, the client agrees that card or account information provided to Carpet Image Ltd may be used to process the outstanding amount.
The card on file (and held on 3rd party servers) will be used to process the outstanding amount without further warning unless otherwise instructed by email prior to commencement of the project.
This applies to both domestic and commercial customers.
The client has the right to withhold a portion of the cost in a genuine claim, as outlined in the complaints procedure. Carpet image Ltd is fully compliant with PCI DSS rules as well as the Data Protection Act in this matter.
3.3 Uncontactable and AWOL accounts
In some cases, a client may signify that they are unhappy with the completion of a project, withhold final payment, and then become uncontactable. In this event, the client agrees that if they cannot agree to a visit to remedy the situation after five days, the matter will be considered settled by Carpet image, and payment in full is due. The card held on file will be used for final payment, or the original invoice for BACS payment is due.
3.4 Unpaid accounts
In the event that Carpet image Ltd cannot recover any outstanding amount after 30 days beyond the due date, we will levy a late payment charge of 10% of the total invoice or £300 whichever is the greater.
After 60 days, we reserve the right to levy a late payment charge of £600 or 30% of the total invoice, whichever is the greater amount.
At any time after 30 days of the due date on the invoice, we reserve the right to employ the services of the County Court, the High Court, or a debt collection agency.
In the event that a refund is made by card, this may take up to 7 working days to appear in your account. These are the card processors’ time-scales. For BACS refunds, this may take up to 5 working days.
In the event that a chargeback is made by a client that is successfully defended by Carpet Image, the client accepts that an admin charge of £200 + VAT will be added to the final account for every £1000 claimed by the client. The payment will be charged to the card held on file to cover the cost of defending the action. Repeated chargebacks will invoke a £400 per £1000 charge.

Carpet image Ltd is committed to ensuring that our customers are satisfied with our service. If for any reason you are not, you must follow our complaints procedure as set out below:

The new fifth model slated for production at the Mercedes-Benz auto plant in Tuscaloosa County will be an SUV, the company said Thursday.
Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the Board of Management for Mercedes parent Daimler AG, made a reference to the as-yet-unnamed model during a speech at the company's annual meeting in Stuttgart.
"At our plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, we are currently preparing for the production of another new SUV: an especially dynamic all-terrain vehicle. You will hear more about that soon," Zetsche said, according to a transcript of his speech.
but revealed few details. Some speculated that it would be a competitor for the BMW X-6.
The German automaker has said the project will involve a $350 million investment and 400 new jobs. Production is expected to begin by 2015.
Zetsche said the new SUV is part of 13 new models Mercedes plans to launch between now and 2020.
The Tuscaloosa County plant, with about 3,000 workers, currently produces the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, along with the R-Class crossover.
It is preparing to add production of the C-Class sedan next year,

Many things have changed about the iPhone since the first one launched back in 2007. One thing that has remained constant, however, is the phone’s screen size. Retina display notwithstanding, Apple’s fifth iPhone – the iPhone 4S – sports the same 3.5-inch screen as their first iPhone.
The fact that Apple has kept the iPhone’s screen size consistent through five generations of phones has not stopped repeated speculation that the next iPhone would have a bigger screen. Now Chris Caso, analyst for Susquehanna, is predicting that Apple’s sixth iPhone will finally be getting a larger screen. In a note sent to clients this morning, Caso predicted that Apple would begin production of their sixth-generation iPhone – which most analysts are calling the iPhone 5 – in June of 2012, and that it would sport a 4-inch screen.
This is going to have to go in the “believe it when I see it” file. As already noted, Apple has consistently – almost stubbornly – kept the iPhone’s screen size the same. As Android phones of all sizes have come into the market, Apple has held to the 3.5-inch screen. While anything is certainly possible, Apple tends to be a creature of habit when it comes to things that work, and the iPhone’s 3.5-inch screen has worked well through five generations of iPhones. It doesn’t seem likely that they’ll change it now.

How are human capital investments allocated between women and men? What are the returns to investments in women's nutrition, health care, education, mobility, and training? In thirteen wide-ranging and innovative empirical analyses, "Investment in Women's Human Capital" explores the nature of human capital distributions to women and their effect on outcomes within the family. Section I considers the experiences of high-income countries, examining the limitations of industrialization for the advancement of women; returns to secondary education for women; and state control of women's education and labor market productivity through the design of tax systems and the public subsidy of children. The remaining four sections investigate health, education, household structure and labor markets, and measurement issues in low-income countries, including the effect of technological change on transfers of wealth to and from children in India; women's and men's responses to the costs of medical care in Kenya; the effects of birth order and sex on educational attainment in Taiwan; wage returns to schooling in Indonesia and in Cote d'Ivoire; and the increasing prevalence of female-headed households and the correlates of gender differences in wages in Brazil.

Regulation of Regularity
PHILPA precision rally regularity
Last updated 8/1/2020
1. In general
The PHILPA rallies are conducted in accordance with the present Regularity Regulations of PHILPA, the specifications of the "Federation Internationale des Véhicules Anciens" (FIVA - Federation Internationale des Véhicules Anciens) and the Laws of the Greek State.
Detailed conditions of each Event are stated in the Special Announcement - DESCRIPTION of the Rally which includes:
Event Category & FIVA Registration Number.
Type of tests (SUPER TROPHY and/or CLASSIC TROPHY).
Insurance coverage of the Rally (start-finish).
Participation cost (Members & non-Members - PHILPA Members).
Expiry of Entry Forms (any refund of deposit by a certain date).
Special Conditions of Participation (e.g. Priority to Hotels, Rally of the Amazons, maximum number of entries, possibility of participation of "Young-timers", etc.).
2. Categories of vehicles
Vehicles of Age Categories B, C, D, E, F, G and H (the last ones optional) whose authenticity is proved by an F.I.V.A. (International Federation of Vintage Motor Cars) or F.I.A. (International Automobile Federation) RECOGNITION CERTIFICATE, which is shown at the Technical Control before the start, are accepted at the events. However, following a 2011 FIVA decision governing international events, if a vehicle follows FIVA technical specifications, the Organising Committee may override this requirement.
Participating vehicles must be insured and be in a clean, safe and roadworthy condition.
Vehicles are classified according to their year of manufacture in the following categories:
Class A "Ancestor": vehicles built up to 31/12/1904
Class B "Veteran": vehicles built from 1/1/1905 to 31/12/1918
Class C "Vintage": vehicles built from 1/1/1919 to 31/12/1930
Class D "Post Vintage": vehicles built from 1/1/1931 to 31/12/1945
Class E "Post War": vehicles built from 1/1/1946 to 31/12/1960
Class F "Classic": vehicles built from 1/1/1961 to 31/12/1970
Category G: vehicles built from 1/1/1971 to 31/12/1980
Category H: vehicles built from 1/1/1981 until the completion of 30 years as defined by the FIVA regulation
The Organising Committee reserves the right to split any Category into two or more Classes, or to merge two or more of the above Categories.
Participants with Microcars must declare in writing before the start of the event, which they wish to participate in: based on the Age Class or in the Microcars Class.
3. Declaration of participation
Those interested in participating must complete and submit to the Secretariat the relevant Declaration of Participation and pay the relevant Participation Fee by the deadline indicated in the ANNOUNCEMENT - DESCRIPTION of the event at the address. TEL. +30 210 6534700, FAX. +30 210 6533420, E-Mail: email@example.com
The submission of the Declaration of Participation is equivalent to the unconditional acceptance on behalf of the crew (including any additional members of the crew) of all the articles of these Regulations and its Supplements and the release of PHILPA from any liability for any accident, mishap or damage to the participants and their vehicles.
4. Organizing committee
The Organizing Committee shall not be liable for any involvement in an accident, person or vehicle participating in any capacity in the event. The Organizing Committee reserves the right to postpone or cancel the event, or any part of it, due to force majeure or for safety reasons. Any change will be communicated to participants in a timely manner by means of Special Bulletins.
The Organising Committee is entitled to refuse to accept any participation without being obliged to state the reasons (Article 7.1.4 of the F.I.V.A. International Events Code), provided that such action is not contrary to the F.I.V.A. Statutes.
5. Crew and additional passengers
The crew shall consist of two persons (driver and co-driver). For the purposes of the results, the driver is considered to be the person named in the entry form. A crew member may be replaced during the event, with the agreement of the Organising Committee, if there are reasons of force majeure requiring the withdrawal of the original crew member. In this case, the person who finishes will be named on the scoreboard.
The person(s) other than the driver and co-driver shall be referred to as additional crew members and must be declared in the entry form or be on board with the express permission of the skipper. The presence of an additional member over the age of twelve (12) years in the SUPER TROPHY class shall result in one (1) Penalty Point per Special Test. In the CLASSIC TROPHY class, the presence of additional members shall not incur a Penalty.
Driver must have held a valid driver's license for at least one (1) year. All crew members are allowed to drive under the same condition. Even momentary driving of the car by a third person not declared through the Entry Form will result in Disqualification.
6. Plates and sticker numbers
The Organising Committee shall provide each crew with two number plates bearing the title of the event, the entry number and possibly, details of sponsors/supporters. These plates shall be fixed in visible places on the front and rear of the car WITHOUT COVERING THE RUNNING PLATES and shall remain in place throughout the event.
The Organising Committee shall also provide each crew with a pair of stickers with their number, which must be placed one on each side of the car and remain in place for the duration of the event.
In the event that the Organising Committee finds the absence of any of the above mentioned plates at any stage of the event, then the crew will be subject to the following penalties:
Absence of a front or rear plate: ten (10) penalty points.
Absence of Side Plate: twenty (20) penalty points per Special Accuracy Test.
Especially in the case of loss of a side number plate, the crew shall restore the number by any means possible and in proportion to the original dimensions. Thereafter the penalty of 20 points per Special Test shall cease to apply.
7. Advertising Material
The promotional stickers of the Sponsors and Supporters, provided by the Organizing Committee, constitute the "intended promotional material" and must be affixed to the vehicles in accordance with the special instructions (when available) and remain affixed throughout the event. Failure to affix even a portion of the prescribed promotional material will result in a penalty of fifty (50) points.
Conversely, in the event that there is advertising material on the vehicle in excess of that provided without the permission of the marshal, it must be removed, or covered. Otherwise, the entry will be disqualified from the event.
8. Starting point - starting of vehicles
The Start of the cars from each S.E.X. (Time Control Station) is given by the Starter in order of entry number, unless otherwise decided by the Starter.
Late presentation at the Starting Point of more than the first ten (10) minutes of the hour from the scheduled time and until the end of the respective S.E.X. will incur a penalty of ten (10) Penalty Points per minute.
The ideal starting time for each crew is a function of the scheduled starting time of the A car and the number of entries. The Organising Committee shall announce the exact starting time of the first car. The other cars shall start at the first minute of the hour, unless the Organising Committee indicates otherwise in its announcement.
The exact position of the Start and Finish, as well as the routes to be covered, the Ideal Times for each Category, the distances between Time Control Stations (TC Stations), or Crossing Stations (optional), will be announced by means of special bulletins.
The coverage of the routes, which are defined by means of the Roadbook, is compulsory. The average speed from S.E.T. to S.E.T. , as well as for the Special Precision Tests, will not exceed 50 km/h unless an expressway is inserted. Violation of the traffic regulations during the event, which is confirmed by competent police officers and notified to the Organizing Committee, will result in a penalty, which may reach up to EXCLUSION.
10. Towing - external assistance
Towing is prohibited on any part of the event routes under penalty of exclusion. Exceptionally, a vehicle that has been diverted from its course may be towed on the spot and only to be placed in its normal position. For the same reason, any other assistance may be provided. In particular, during the termination of the legs, the vehicle must be terminated without the assistance of any third party other than the crew members.
Escorting to a distance of less than five hundred (500) meters and being guided by another vehicle not taking part in the event is prohibited under penalty of disqualification.
The use of mobile telephones between competitors, as well as from competitors to members of the organizing committee, judges and timekeepers for the purpose of obtaining information related to the race is prohibited under penalty of exclusion.
11. Times and points of transit
Time Control Station (TCS) is the mandatory stopping point for recording the time.
The Crossing Control Station (CCS) is the mandatory stopping point for the certification of the crossing.
TCS and possibly CCS checkpoints will be installed along the route and marked by special signs (signposts).
The time required to cover the distance defined by two CCSs is referred to as the 'Ideal Time'. This is calculated on the basis of an average hourly speed, which in no case exceeds 50 km/h unless a dual carriageway is inserted.
A warning sign shall be placed in a prominent position at an indicative distance of approximately 100 metres in front of each TCS or CCS. Stopping the vehicle between the warning sign and the TCS or CCS sign shall result in a Penalty of ten (10) Points.
Each TCS or CCS shall begin operating thirty (30) minutes prior to the calculated time of the first car's appearance. Upon arrival at each TCS or CCS., the Co-Driver must present the Event Booklet to the designated Judge. The Judge shall note on it the exact time of arrival (in the case of an TCS), sign and/or stamp it and then return it to the competitor. This constitutes the starting order for the next leg.
The delivery of the Event Booklet to the appointed Judge for the necessary formalities shall be made with the crew on board.
The time recorded by the Judge shall be the basis for calculating the ideal time of arrival at the next TCS.
Early or late arrival at an TCS. shall result in ten (10) Penalty Points for each completed first minute of the hour, unless otherwise specified.
Failure to present the Event Booklet for the above formalities, or failure to present the car at any TCS or CCS will result in disqualification from the event.
12. Special precision tests
On certain sections of the course, Special Precision Tests (SPT) will be required and instructions will be given. For example, competitors will be asked to maintain a constant speed according to the age category of their vehicle. This speed may vary between 20 and 50 km/h.
The start and end of each Special Precision Tests shall be marked by signs placed at one of the edges of the roadway. The absence of a sign, or signs, shall not be grounds for cancelling a Test as long as sufficient information is made available to the participants to locate the area of the Test.
Distances in the Route Book are given in kilometres and miles.
The timing or checking of the required speed within the Special Precision Tests shall be carried out by a satellite system and/or electronic timing system (transponders) and/or timekeepers, either hidden or visible, placed in the space between the start and end markers.
Prior to entering a Special Precision Tests, the Official, or designated Judge, shall have the right to stop the entry of a crew for up to one (1) first minute to prevent one car from being followed by another, or for safety reasons.
Waiting time in excess of the first minute of the hour will be noted by the Official or Judge in the Event Booklet and will be counted towards the ideal time to cover the section of the course.
The maximum permitted speed limit, set by OFFICIAL MUNICIPAL MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT signs which may be located within the area of any Special Precision Test, shall automatically be deemed to be the speed requested for the performance from that point onwards of the test, provided that it is less than the speed originally requested by means of the written instructions.
The latter shall be reinstated only if there is a clearly marked removal or change of the above speed limit. Also, if there is then a new Speed Limit lower always than the given speed limit, the crew shall comply with this limit. THE VALIDITY OF THIS CONDITION MAY BE SUSPENDED IN CERTAIN SPECIAL PRECISION TESTS DUE TO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND IN THIS CASE IT WILL BE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE TESTS.
Different types of Special Precision Tests may be provided, requiring the passage of specific points at specific times, or the covering of a distance in a specific time, or even the completion of a Special Precision Test while maintaining the required average speed and, in addition, covering a specific distance in a specific time.
The booklets with the instructions for the Special Precision Tests will be distributed to the competitors at least 20 minutes before the start of each Leg. After the distribution of the Instructions, it is forbidden to remove vehicles from the starting area. Violation of this condition will result in a penalty of 50 points.
In more detail:
12.1. Starting from a standstill
12.1.α. In this case the competitors will start at their own risk exactly in the time (in the second) given to them in the Instructions for the completion of the Special Route.
12.1.β. Start from a stop with a Judge. In this case the Judge will start a countdown of 15 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 4,3,2,1, and immediately afterwards will give the start signal ''GO''. The car shall start immediately afterwards trying to reach the average hourly speed given to it as quickly as possible. Starting before the "GO" signal will result in a penalty of 10 points per second.
12.2 In the event that a crew waits more than 2 minutes at the start of a Special Precision Tests and this is recorded as above, this time may be added to the arrival of the next TCS. The crew may, or may not, use this time if they wish for the arrival at the next TCS. In the event of a pre-arrival in this case no penalty will be imposed.
12.3 The Special Precision Test shall end at an unknown point between 0.8 - 30 km from the starting point of the Special Precision Test.
12.4. There may also be intermediate Secret Judges.
12.5 There may be multiple time controls within the Special Precision Test. In this case these checks will also be timed. If there is an intermediate timed check(s), this/these will be calculated from the beginning of the Special Precision Test. Any deviation of one second more or less than the ideal coverage time (which is a function of the required speed and distance) of the timed section of the Special Precision Test will result in one (1) Penalty Point. Similarly, a deviation of one tenth of a second shall result in a penalty of one tenth (1/10) of a Penalty Point when the time is measured with similar accuracy. Failure to pass the initial or final timekeeper's Special Precision Test shall result in the crew with the worst performance in that same Special Precision Test being awarded a penalty of thirty (30) penalty points. Special observation competitions may be taken into account for the establishment of the General Classification.
12.6. ADDITIONAL DISTANCE/TIME MEASURING INSTRUMENTS [NEW]
In the SUPER TROPHY category all time and/or distance measuring instruments are allowed.
In the CLASSIC TROPHY (Touring) category, all instruments connected to the car are prohibited except for the classic "period" odometers such as Retrotrip, Brantz, Halda, etc., provided that they are not capable of indicating MTO, leading and/or lag.
The Organising Committee, in order to ensure the integrity of the results of the Special Precision Tests (SPT) in the CLASSIC TROPHY (Touring) category, reserves the right, without any warning and only during the Special Precision Tests, to place in the vehicle of any participant, a suitable electronic or photographic instrument or even a passenger of the Commander's choice.
By submitting a Declaration of Participation, participants waive the right to invoke any of their Personal Data rights in relation to this condition.
Any assistance from a third party or escort by another car at a distance of less than 500 metres in the areas of the Special Precision Tests is strictly prohibited.

Final arrival at Leicester House Farm in Norfolk, England - my parents' place - after 17,096km on the road, and 1 year later, I HAVE crossed Eurasia by bike, from Hong Kong to the UK. It's been awesome. I'm convinced if you have the time to do anything like this, you can and should! Making the decision to do it is the hardest thing, but once you're on the road, you'll love it. ....read about it and see the piccies at www.asfaraseastisfromwest.com

If you’ve not been following me on social media recently (but why on earth wouldn’t you be?), you may not have noticed that I’m currently in Scotland with the #blogmanay campaign. This is a huge campaign bringing together travel bloggers from around the globe to experience Edinburgh Hogmanay (otherwise known as New Year’s Eve), as well as explore a little more of Scotland in the first few days of 2016.
Hogmanay in Edinburgh is actually a three day event. Things kicked off on the 30th December with the Torchlight Procession – which I’ve already posted about – through the town centre. The 31st was the main event, with an enormous street party and festival taking over the entire city centre for the night, including a fab line-up of some of the best Scottish bands and – of course – some amazing fireworks. Finally, on the 1st January Edinburgh Hogmanay finished off with Scot:lands; a truly fantastic art and music festival held in several cool venues across the city (another post coming soon).
The main New Year’s Eve event shut down the entire city centre of Edinburgh, from the Royal Mile down to Princes Street, with various stages set up for different music styles. I spent most of the night with some of my favourite travel bloggers, darting between the Guilty Pleasures stage – where DJs were playing some of the best cheesy tunes – and the main stage in Princes Street Gardens. Up on the Royal Mile, we joined in the practice run of a world record attempt for the largest Scottish country dance. If I’m honest, I have no idea what I was supposed to be doing or what was going on, but I span and clapped and danced with total strangers as enthusiastically as I could – and had a total blast, which is definitely the point of a Scottish ceilidh (traditional dance).
In Princes Street Gardens, we had an amazing view of the stage for headline act Biffy Clyro, who were absolutely incredible, and being one of the most popular bands in Scotland the atmosphere when they played was fantastic. Towering above the main stage was the beautiful castle, lit up in bright purple, so we also had the perfect view of the midnight fireworks – which were spellbinding! I was planning to take some great photos of the display, but was so wrapped up in it that I only snapped a handful of unfocused, bokeh style shots, before being lost in the dazzling show.
Midnight over, it was back to Biffy and the rest of the street party, before beginning my new year in the perfect fashion; with about three hours of joyful singing at a local karaoke club. Exciting, merry, and above all else extraordinarily happy – this was definitely my best ever New Year’s Eve. Nice one Edinburgh!
I’m still in Scotland at the moment, so keep an eye on my Facebook Page, as well as Twitter and Instagram (em_luxton) to see what me and the #blogmanay gang have been getting up to since Hogmanay.
#blogmanay is brought to you by Edinburgh’s Hogmanay and is supported by ETAG, The Scottish Government, VisitScotland, Festivals Edinburgh, Marketing Edinburgh, Arnold Clarke Van and Car Hire, Rabbies Tours and co-creators Haggis Adventures. Created and produced by Unique Events. As always, all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Unwanted pregnancy and unintended fertility among adolescents
Young people are a large majority of the population of Bangladesh, and women are married of at a young age. Still, over 30% of the married teenage women (girls) have not been contacted by a field worker regarding family planning, according to research by Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey.
The researchers conclude that there might be two reasons for the fact that fieldworkers do not reach more married teenage women. The first is that fieldworkers assume that there is no need for family planning services among young and newly wed couples, the second is that there is no encouragement or incentive for fieldworkers to reach out to this group.
The statistics show that the need for family planning is rather high, especially among the young and newly weds. According to this research, 38% of adolescent women aged 15-24 have an unmet need. Teenage couples and married girls are much less likely to have ever been contacted by family planning field worker or to have been contacted within the previous six months, stated by the research.
The unmet need of adolescents for reproductive health information and services is huge and diverse both in terms of quality as well as quantity. This research helps all of us working in the field of sexual and reproductive health, understand the gravity of the issues, guiding efforts to adjust policies and focus more on youth and young girls and supporting programmatic efforts to reach more married girls with family planning information.

International Relations, Energy, and a Long-Distance Relationship with Russia: A Brazilian Student's Story
Having earned degrees in International Relations and Energy, Tulio Bunder from Brazil wanted to pursue his research in Eurasian Energy Geopolitics, which led him to the Master's programme in Comparative Politics of Eurasia. Though based in another BRICS country, he decided to study in Russia—and despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and his long-distance relationship with Saint Petersburg and HSE University, he seems happy with his choice.
‘One of the Biggest Advantages of HSE University Is Its Multi-cultural And International Environment’
Parisa Esmaeilkhani, from Iran, and Anshuman Sharma, from India, are currently studying in HSE University’s English-taught Master’s programmes. In an interview with HSE News Service, they talked about enrolling at HSE University, discovering Moscow, learning Russian, exploring the opportunities HSE University offers, and studying remotely during the pandemic.
Ljiljana Filipović, from Croatia, is currenttly studying in the Master in International Management programme at the HSE Graduate School of Business. This year she was also helping international students with Russian language in 'Russian speaking club' organized by International Prep Year programme. In her interview, Ljiljana Filipović shares her experience of the Prep Year programme and offers some useful tips for international students.
Peio Zuazo-Garin, ICEF Assistant Professor and a PhD graduate from the University of the Basque Country, joined HSE University at a time when all the usual formats of research and teaching were disrupted by the pandemic. In an interview he told how to adapt to a new place of work online, what are the pros and cons of academic prestige, why he loves Moscow and why he recalls bullfighting during the discussions with ICEF students.
‘Another City: Mystical Stories of Perm’ — this is the title of a work by Nikita Matkin, a first-year student in the Master's programme ‘Digital Humanities’. It received an honourable mention in the Best Russian-Language Scientific and Popular Science Works Competition for HSE University employees in the ‘History of Art’ track. Nikita spoke with the News Service about the idea for the project, his studies at HSE University, and his love for his hometown.
The Department of Innovation Management at HSE University offers programmes in R&D and innovation management in companies, innovation infrastructure organisations, research and educational institutions. The department’s programmes attract not only Russian students, but also international applicants. For example, in 2020, Stefan Amaximoaie from Romania and Sharif Khlal from Syria graduated from the ‘Corporate Research, Development and Innovation Management’ Master’s programme and, following their graduation, decided to stay in Russia. They told the News Service about enrolling at HSE University and studying here.
On June 2, the HSE International Laboratory for Social Interaction Research and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art successfully completed their joint Diversity Research Lab. The laboratory covered a number of topics related to social diversity, including interculturalism, life in a multinational country, ageism, poverty, and ableism. During the final online meeting of the project, the participants discussed universal design—a design which would allow for the creation of environments accessible to people regardless of their disability, age, or any other factors.
In May 2021, 25 digital teaching consultants began work at all campuses of HSE University. Their task is to help colleagues teach effectively online and make use of digital technology in their teaching. All consultants passed a selection by the Expert Committee. Below, HSE News Service tells us about the participants of the new Teach for HSE project.
HSE University will enhance its programmes in Software Engineering implemented by the Faculty of Computer Science together with the RAS Institute for System Programming (ISP RAS) and the company, 1C. The focus will be on the study of cutting-edge technology of software development as well as on expanding the number of various specializations.
‘Even if You’ve Launched Your Own Startup Once, You Begin to See Opportunities Everywhere and Stand More Firmly on Your Own Two Feet’
This year, the minor with the highest student enrollment at HSE University is the ‘Startup from Scratch: Creating Your own Business’, offered by the Department of Innovation Management. In September, 500 students from all four HSE’s campuses will begin studying the art of entrepreneurship. This number is less than half of the students who applied: in total, the minor course received more than 1,700 applications. Associate Professor Margarita Zobnina, who supervises the minor, spoke with the news service about why students from different faculties want to learn the secrets of a successful business, what skills they gain in the minor, and how they expand their professional networks.

Norway teen living in cave to save environment
Posted on Apr 21 2014 | IANS
Oslo, April 21 : A 19-year-old girl in Norway has been living in a cave for almost a year now as she wants to reduce her environmental impact to close to nothing, the media reported.
Ida Beate Loken, a student at the Sogn Agriculture and Horticulture School, moved into her rocky dwelling in May 2013. She is using a high-grade sleeping bag to get her through the gruelling Norwegian weather, the Local reported.
"It's much more fun to stay there," Norway's TV2 network quoted Loken as saying.
Ida, who has a history of environmental activism in Sogn og Fjordane county, drinks rainwater she catches in a bowl.
