WKU Health Services is entering the final stages of a three-year accreditation process.
WKU began the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) accreditation process in 2009 and expects to be completed by 2012.
"We're really excited," said Ann Mead, vice president for Finance and Administration. "It's an unusual and impressive accomplishment.
"Vicky Rosa, executive director of Health Services, said there are many different areas the center is currently looking at to finish up the process.
"We're going through all of our policies and procedures, looking at quality improvements and making sure we have the patients best interests in mind," she said.
Rosa said the big areas health services is examining are peer review and patient care.
According to the AAAHC website, accreditation is a voluntary process in which an institution measures the quality of their services and performance against nationally recognized standards.
The accreditation process involves self-assessment and review by the AAAHC surveyors.
The AAAHC accreditation certificate "is a symbol that an organization is committed to providing high-quality health care and that it has demonstrated that commitment by measuring up to the nationally-recognized standards of AAAHC high standards," according to the website.
WKU Health Services decided to begin this process based on the department's growth over the past several years.
Rosa, who joined WKU in July, said the accreditation process was just starting up when she got here.
As the person who now oversees the accreditation process, Rosa said she is very excited to see it through.
Rosa came from Butler University in Indianapolis, where she was director of Butler University Health Services for 13 years.
"I was quietly moving the center there towards accreditation, but we were very small, and there weren't a lot of people who could get in and help with the effort," she said.
Rosa said when she got the job at WKU and found out the university is also working towards accreditation, she was really pleased."People have really worked hard to make sure the patients are well taken care of," she said. "I think it's great."

Enforce Tac 2024 Robust and lightweight - GORE-TEX Professional Fabrics and leading footwear partners present the first police boots with groundbreaking EXTRAGUARD upper technology
Technology sets new standards in terms of weight, robustness, and comfort
Putzbrunn (February 23, 2024) - The innovative EXTRAGUARD upper material technology for police boots is lightweight, yet robust and noticeably more comfortable to wear: GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD police boots remain lightweight even when emergency services have to stand out in the rain for several hours at a demonstration, for example. The innovative upper material is also flame-retardant. At Enforce Tac 2024 (February 26 to 28) in Nuremberg, Gore will be presenting police boots from leading manufacturers with GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD upper technology for the first time.
Police forces need robust, waterproof, and breathable footwear that reliably protects them in all weather conditions and during dangerous operations or demonstrations. Until now, the robustness and waterproofness of the boots have had a significant influence on comfort - conventional police boots are rather heavy. As the product's service life increases, they can lose their waterproofing, meaning that conventional upper material can become soaked in the rain, making the boots even heavier. Another challenge is the re-drying of soaked boots: it can take many hours before they are completely dry again. However, if they have to be worn again in the meantime, this can draw heat away from the foot and create cold bridges.
Is light, stays light and dries quickly
With EXTRAGUARD, GORE-TEX Professional has developed a completely new, sustainable outer material technology: it combines the advantages of robust leather with those of lightweight, flexible, and breathable textile outer materials. The technology consists of three layers: a highly abrasion-resistant and flame-retardant outer protective layer, a functional layer that protects against mechanical impacts and an innovative inner construction layer that absorbs hardly any water. When dry, the EXTRAGUARD outer material is 40% lighter than dry leather of the same thickness. It absorbs less moisture from the outside and remains dry and light even after prolonged exposure to water or loss of the initial impregnation. Moisture penetrates from the outside only as far as the inner construction layer of the EXTRAGUARD upper material and is then kept out by it. This minimises heat loss and prevents cold bridges, keeping feet dry and comfortably warm even in wet or cold conditions. The robust boots dry quickly, are ready for use again a few hours later and are comfortable to wear. In combination with the internal, waterproof, and breathable GORE-TEX lining, this means an enormous increase in protection and comfort for the police.
First models available on the market this year
"Our EXTRAGUARD upper technology is a real game changer for the police. At Enforce Tac, we will be presenting models for various areas of application, from very lightweight tactical to flame-resistant riot styles. The response has been great: a German police unit will soon be putting a model through its paces in tough everyday police work. The first models are expected to be available on the market before the end of this year," explains Johannes Krieg, Product Specialist at Gore.
High performance and reduced environmental impact
Function and performance have top priority at Gore because the company makes no compromises when it comes to protection and comfort. At the same time, EXTRAGUARD technology also sets new standards in terms of sustainability: the use of water and chemicals is minimized during production, and CO2 emissions are comparatively low. And finally, the longevity of the products also contributes to a better eco-balance.
Facts & figures about GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD technology
· GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD combat boots are permanently waterproof and breathable. They exceed the required values in accordance with EN ISO 20345/347 many times over.
· The abrasion-resistant upper material is 40% lighter than leather when dry. As it absorbs virtually no moisture from the outside, the GORE-TEX boot remains dry and light even after prolonged exposure to water or loss of the initial waterproofing.
· Heat and flame resistance in accordance with DIN EN 15090: If these boots are exposed to an open flame for 10 seconds in accordance with DIN EN ISO 15025-A/DIN EN 15090, there is no afterburning.

Complex Scientific Causation Testimony.
Defendant is a pharmaceutical company and plaintiffs are persons who ingested a drug manufactured by defendant who allege they suffered from bladder cancer as a result of taking the drug for diabetes. At trial, plaintiffs’ expert testified that based on his performance of a differential diagnosis, he believed the drug was a substantial factor in causing a plaintiff’s bladder cancer. However, the court later ordered the expert testimony stricken, concluding it was speculative and lacking in foundation, and granted defendant’s motion for JNOV. In reversing, the appellate court stated: “By requiring that the expert rule out all other possible causes for Jack Cooper’s bladder cancer, even where there was no substantial evidence that other such causes might be relevant, the court exceeded the proper boundaries of its gatekeeping function in determining the admissibility of the complex scientific testimony. We also conclude that the evidence supported giving a jury instruction on multiple causation.” The appellate court ordered the jury’s verdict awarding $6.5 million to be reinstated. (Cooper v. Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. (Cal. App. Second Dist. Div. 3; August 13, 2015) 239 Cal.App.4th 555 [191 Cal.Rptr.3d 67].)

Welcome to Teasha's recommendations! Teasha is new to book selling and has been working at Boswell for over a year now. Some of her favorite reading genres include, African American and Feminist Studies which can be seen below in her recommendations. Her favorite book of all time is the Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison because of the flawed and complex characters Morrison creates to tackle internalized racism.
Check out what Teasha has been reading below!
Life was normal for 16-year-old Starr, but that was before she witnessed a tragedy that she struggles to reconcile along with her internalized feelings of alienation in two vastly different worlds. There's the ‘Garden Heights’ Starr, the sole witness to the shooting of her best friend Khalil by the local police and there's also ‘Williamson’ Starr who is the only African American student at her predominately white private school and far removed from Garden Heights and the community problems that live there. With the weight of the community's hunger to avenge Khalil, Starr comes forth hoping for justice, however she quickly learns how complicated things can become. With inspiration from the Black Lives Matter movement, along with Starr's introspection, Angie Thomas' creates a sentimental, compelling novel that proves that we should always do what is right, even when it is hard.
Feminist Baby is the heroine everyone needs! She's smart, bold, and uniquely and entirely her own person. Feminist Baby exudes confidence and encourages everyone to be their authentic self. What a special children's book!
Comedienne and co-host of podcast Two Dope Queens, debuts with a stunning book of essays including ‘Tips for the First Black Female President’ and my personal favorite ‘Token Black Friend.’ Robinson uses her charm, wit, and playful banter to create empathy and understanding for the reader on social issues that they may not have experienced before. Robinson's intersectional feminist framework not only covers everyday social issues that plague black women and the black community, but also shines an honest spotlight on the status and mistreatment of black women in media and culture. And, yes, Robinson finally answers the all-so-elusive question: can I touch her hair?
If you haven't read any of Adichie's work, please start here and then continue on to her fiction! We Should All Be Feminists is a champion essay that supports the equity and equality of all. It dispells the misogynic myths about feminism that are supported by the status quo, exposes the danger and damage social and cultural norms, and lastly describes the best future for all, when we all are feminist.
Shonda Rhimes, you've heard of her, right? The creator and powerhouse behind the hit TV shows, How To Get Away With Murder, Grey's Anatomy, and Scandal, well, she's just like us and she has fears. She shares in her self-help memoir that her biggest fear is she doesn't say yes to anything. Dinner at the White House? -Eh maybe, instantly comes up with excuse. Deliver commencement address at Alma Mater? -Far too busy with work, maybe next year. Rhimes notices that time and time again she lets her fear and negative self talk keep her from doing amazing once in a lifetime things, therefore she makes a change. She challenges herself to be more open to all that life has to offer. Her life begins to beautifully blossom once she lives her comfort zone. Rhimes shares that while she is successful, that at times she once let fear control and limit her. An amazing memoir that is perfect for graduates or anyone who is looking to make a change in their life.
This debut from Alexander is eloquent, profound, detailed, and extensive in the explaination of the prejudice against people of color, especially African American men, and the criminal justice system. Alexander through vast research and analysis of our country's history and justice system, explains how as a culture we have become desensitized to the injustice and thus promoting the continuance of this modern new Jim Crow era. Electric and unapologentic in the unmasking of systemic corruption will ignite a spark within the reader.

Thus begins his quest for a pet! However, Rory the quickly discovers that sometimes life finds you when you stop looking. Rory's quest for a pet is absoluetly sweet, thoughtful, and overall excellent. Climo's creative yet simplistic artwork along with her witty writing makes for a great story that children and adults will both enjoy immensely. Be prepared to laugh!
What is one to do when their science project tries to destroy the world? They fight back! This hilarious tale of a science project gone rogue features everything children's storytelling should feature. A strong, bright female main character-check. Problem solving, using math and science-check. And last, but certainly not least, imaginative, bold illustrations-check. This is a refreshing story and is the perfect way to change things up from the storytime classics.
This is such a great dino book for the budding paleontologist! Not only are the facts cool and interesting, but the flip out pages colorful and create beautiful full posters of your favorite dinosaurs. Any dino lover will love this book and all of the twist and turns on ever page!

There is a proposal going on for hike in dearness allowance (DA), which is said to be increased to 107 per cent from existing 100 per cent. This will benefit more than 30 lakh central employees along with around 50 lakh pensioners and dependents.
The current average rate of inflation for the entire workers in industrial sectors comes out to be 7.25 per cent within the period starting from July 01 2013 till June 30, 2014. Keeping this in mind, the current NDA government finds it relevant and need of the day to increase the Dearness Allowance by atleast an appreciable 7 per cent.
Such a move is centric to the lower and middle segments of the society and would aim at improving the overall lifestyle of the citizens. Dearness allowance is and should be in accordance with the current level of inflation in the economy and such move by the government would be appreciated by all income groups working in government offices.
The move from current government comes quickly after such a hike was already brought into effect by the previous UPA government that hiked the dearness allowance from 90 per cent to 100 per cent. The present government however found it insufficient keeping in mind the inflation in the economy.
On the other hand, the central government employees still do not see it as a respite and are not said to be fully enthusiastic about the hike. This comes in reference to their long pending proposal of merger of dearness allowance with their basic pay scale that has not been given any due heed by the latest pay commission and corresponding government.
The Ministry had already released the Consumer Price Index pertaining to Industrial workers and the new Dearness Allowance is an absolute outcome of the review. The Finance Ministry is said to put this as a Cabinet Proposal to be effective from 01st July this year.
The increase in dearness allowance will also benefit the pensioners of central government and would be surely a relief to them if set to 107 per cent. This would the second consecutive increase in DA in 2014. This does not however satisfy the wishes of central government employees who have been demanding the merger of DA with their basic pay. The central government employees’ confederation has already made their public announce in this regard.
Whatever the demands of the Confederation of Central Government Employees would be, but the current hike in DA would surely improve or benefit the employees and enable them to cope up with the rising inflation.
But the considerations should not end here only. As inflations is a continuous process if India, the dearness allowance or any other allowances for that matter should be kept updated with the current economic situation of the country.
These are small changes and benefits that governments can assure to its employee and thus ensure a better overall employee satisfaction.

The real me lives on the intranet aziendale is such a nicely chilled out rhythmic track. It’s like swinging around in a hammock in timing of the beat, sipping a refreshing cocktail of stimulating minimalism with small intoxicating abilities. I imagine the cocktail to be light blue with a slice of an orange sitting on the edge of the glass; ah, refreshing!
You know what? The music makes me want to stick to the concept of chilling in a hammock with a cocktail style, except with ‘Convivere con le extrasistoli’ I feel more like we should be laying face down as some tropical looking masseur or masseuse (whoever is available) is hitting your back muscles with a rhythmic determination with relaxing abilities. The small rapid hits hint to small but professional massaging hands, while the pleasant sounds that can be felt spreading out all over the body feels like the act of smothering massage oil in the tissue of the skin… what a nice time!
With ‘Extravergine di oliva’ it feels more like we are back to out normal position in the hammock as the masseuse or masseur applies a piece of modern technology to the sides of our head and neck. It’s clear that this massage technique is fairly electric, bringing pulsating pleasant sounding warm shocks to the muscles, making you feel all tingly inside. I don’t know about you but I must say that this place is the best!
Time to move our neck a little and watch some prepared private entertainment. The show on the agenda is named ‘Picchiare i vecchi’ and seem to be some belly dancer heavily affected by the blue cocktails, trying to tip-toe dance on top of a large sawing saw that is being sawn by two helpers on each side. I know that sounds like something impossible, something you have never seen before… but it is miraculous. And trust me it’s just as amazingly mesmerizing for the eyes as that it is for the ears.
After many more blue cocktails a group of tropical party people gather around the hammock. Too lazy to stand up and dance ourself we just let a arm hang out and make it do approving movements. The small group of party people brought minimal lightweight dance music and make a enjoyable petite rave with you in the middle; how nice!
Finally we enjoy the special hammock you-time with ‘Cose che faccio e conseguenze’. The party people now much more sedated, dance slowly and doing a final toast with your for your beneficial health. Together we look at some falling stars and think; life is beautiful!

Goldfinches and canaries are appreciated worldwide for their colourful appearance and their melodic whistling. The birds are especially popular in the Gaza Strip as they help to create a distraction from the hardships of daily life.
Munther Rashad Saleh al-Nakhala, 44, lives in Gaza city. He is widely known by his neighbours for his success in raising canaries and goldfinches and for the care and attention he shows them. At present, he owns more than 50 birds, and although they sell for up to 1,000 NIS in the Gazan market, he refuses to sell them. “I have built special cages for them so I simulate their natural environment. They are very precious for me.”
Munther enjoys hunting goldfinches and canaries with his green net and a small wooden cage. Four days a week for the last seven years, he has taken his bicycle to go hunting in the neighbouring areas of Gaza city. In the Gaza Strip, however, such a simple hobby has put his life at risk. On the morning of 31 January 2012, Munther was shot three times by Israeli soldiers.
On that day, he was hunting in the Shajaiyeh area, approximately 450 meters from the Eastern fence that separates Gaza with Israel. When he had already extended his net on the ground, he noticed five soldiers walking along the Israeli side of the fence. “I know that the occupation soldiers approach the fence by foot when they attempt to shot at someone.
Immediately, I started collecting my net and cage to leave the place. As I was taking the cage, without notice, the soldiers fired three times at me with live ammunition. One of the bullets hit my left leg. Injured, I took my bike and run away as fast as I could.” Luckily, the bullet exited Munther’s leg without leaving serious injuries. However, he needed to spend two days in Al Shifa hospital and is still under medication.
“We are hunting in our lands, they [Israeli soldiers] know me and they knew that I was unarmed as I have been hunting in that area for years. They call us terrorists when they are the ones who terrorise us.”
Munther is not the only civilian injured by the Israeli soldiers in the border areas of the Gaza Strip. Last year 24 people, including 5 children, were killed and 203 people, including 9 children, were injured. All these incidents occurred in the so-called ‘buffer zone’.
Since Israel’s disengagement from the Gaza Strip in September 2005, Israeli forces have established a ‘buffer zone’, an area prohibited to Palestinians, along the land and sea borders of the Gaza Strip. The precise areas designated by Israel as ‘buffer zones’ are unknown and changing. Israeli policy is typically enforced with live fire. At a minimum, the ‘buffer zone’ is established at 300m from the land border, but it can extend to over 2km.
The establishment of a so-called ‘buffer zone’ is illegal under and international law; there is no military necessity associated with the establishment of permanent ‘closed military areas’ inside the Gaza Strip. This effective confiscation/seizure of property violates Article 23(g) of the Hague Regulations, and constitutes a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.
Preventing Palestinians from access to their land violates numerous provisions of international human rights law, including the right to work, the right to the highest attainable standard of living, and the right to the highest attainable standard of health. Enforcing the ‘buffer zone’ by means of live fire often results in the direct targeting of civilians, a war crime; killings under such circumstances constitute the crime of wilful killing a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.

Your health can get a boost from the right supplements. Taking a daily multivitamin can help give your immune system a boost and energize you. But, it can be hard to figure out which supplement is best for you. The information included here will help you get started on your journey toward better health.
Make certain you are getting enough vitamins to allow your body to recover from working out. You’ll feel better, look better, and burn fat at higher rates.
Your body must synthesize vitamins and minerals. Knowing which ones work best together will yield the best results. One good example is the fact that calcium can prevent the body from absorbing iron. Therefore, after taking your iron supplement, refrain from eating anything with calcium for at least half an hour.
Calcium helps build and maintain strong bones. You must also have a good amount of vitamin D in order to absorb calcium. There are several ways to get the necessary vitamin D, including supplements, food and even sunlight. Each of these can help ensure your body can absorb calcium.
The antioxidant, vitamin A, improves vision, boosts immunity and slows down aging. You can take this vitamin in very high amounts and still be safe. Carrots, squash and dark, leafy greens are the best source this vitamin.
Vitamin C is in citrus fruits and other fruits. If you don’t get enough in your diet, a supplement is best. This vitamin prevents colds, acne, gum disease and other conditions. Additionally, studies have shown vitamin C can help patients suffering from dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and ADHD.
When you want to get into minerals and vitamins, you need to speak with a doctor so that you can see if you’re deficient in any nutrients. Deficiencies are the first thing you need to target with supplementation, so it’s good to know just which ones you need first.
When money is tight it is easy to save money by eating cheap, processed foods that are low in vitamins and minerals. Make sure you take the right vitamins each day to feel better, and ward off any potential colds while keeping your body in optimum health.
Since you have read this article, you should know the basics in selecting the right supplements. There are a lot of supplements out there and finding the appropriate ones can be difficult. Use this advice whenever you go shopping.

On Cuba's national holiday, Raul Castro says higher production will help the economy.
Sunday’s speech marked the 56th anniversary of the Castros’ failed attack on the Moncada garrison, the event that launched their “26 of July” guerrilla uprising against U.S.-backed dictator Gen. Fulgencia Batista y Zaldivar.
It has been three years since the elder Castro, who turns 83 next month, withdrew from public and Raul began running the country. Though he initially raised expectations of economic reforms among many Cubans, Castro has made only minor changes so far to the socialist system he inherited. His most significant measure to date has been the land reform program that aims to put idle state property — 50 percent of the island’s arable land, he said Sunday — into the hands of anyone willing to farm it for profit. According to Castro, 110,000 Cubans have applied for the temporary land leases.
Dressed in his military uniform, Castro spoke for about 35 minutes and made almost no mention of the United States, another contrast to his older brother, famous for railing against “Yankee imperialism.”
Instead, Raul spoke about economic and development issues: Cuba’s progress in recovering from $10 billion in damage caused by last year’s three hurricanes, new efforts to increase the country’s water supply and improving milk production.
Castro is expected to continue downsizing Cuba’s vast government apparatus, and he drew laughter from the mostly subdued crowd when he mocked government agriculture officials who say the country can’t afford to plant more trees, asking how previous generations managed to plant the mango trees that the country enjoys today.
Castro’s call to work harder seemed to be met with a tepid response from the crowd, but resonated with some who woke up early to attend the speech. “If you don’t work, you don’t eat,” said Daisy Pupo Olaguivel, a 38-year-old peanut vendor who had also come to the plaza to sell her wares.
While some of her neighbors had opted to stay home and did not support the Castro government, Pupo Olaguivel said she tries “to see the positive side of things,” and said the Cuban government had given her a sense of security she equated to “freedom.”
“I don’t worry about what happens if my daughter gets sick,” she said. “I don’t have to worry that she’ll get shot when she goes to school.”

A cooperative study was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Metropolitan Council, and the Minnesota Department of Health to assess groundwater and surface-water interactions in lakes in the northeast Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (TCMA), including White Bear Lake. An important product of the study was the creation of a groundwater-flow model focused on the northeast TCMA. The groundwater flow model is available for future use to assess the effects of groundwater withdrawals on lake levels as well as to describe other groundwater and surface-water interactions.
The University of Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP) identified opportunities for industrial water users in the North and East Metro Groundwater Management Area (N&E Metro GWMA) to reduce their water consumption as part of the Department of Natural Resources strategies under the GWMA plan. The source of water in this delineated region is almost exclusively groundwater. Several approaches were used for this effort in order to reach, inform, and interact with a broad range of industrial users.

Oechsle Center for Global Education becomes the latest addition to Lafayette’s campus
The Oechsle Center for Global Education, which houses the departments of anthropology &sociology, area studies and international affairs, has been completed in time for the start of spring semester classes.
Many Brown Bags and presentations will be held in the new building in the near future, Chair of the International Affairs Professor David Stifel said.
“We’re hoping to have some events this spring in connection with the opening,”President Alison Byerly said. “There will be a formal opening of the building in March, so there will be some lectures associated with that. We may do things like have students who have studied abroad do presentations about the work that they did…so that other students can understand what the opportunities are.”
The building was able to open on time despite numerous problems that threatened to set back the project.
“Major challenges on the project included the amount of rock that was encountered during excavation for the foundation system and the extremely cold winter of 2013,” Director of Facilities Planning Mary Wilford-Hunt said. “Despite these challenges, we were pleased to be able to remain on schedule with construction.”
The building includes classrooms equipped with a “smart” podium that controls all equipment and room specifications via touchscreen, a DVD player and a document camera, according to a press release from the college.
“These classrooms are much more comfortable,” Stifel said.“There is a lot more space, and the ability to use the projector and the screen at the same time that you use the whiteboard is a nice feature.”
The building also has a multi-purpose room, planned as a place for students to study and work together.
“The building exemplifies Lafayette’s commitment to providing high quality facilities that are adaptable and flexible for student-centered learning,” Wilford-Huntsaid.
Another facet of the building is that many of its features allow for long-term sustainability. The use of pre-heating and cooling processes and LED lighting help to promote energy efficiency in the building, the press release explained.
“It’s mostly glass, which means that there is not a big need for inside lighting,”Aditya Mehta ‘18 said. “This is one of the many ways that the building maintains a green initiative.”
Pieces of wood from different locations around the world were used to create focal points around the building. The piece of wood that is meant to represent North America is part of an English elm that once stood on the Quad.
“Lafayette has a long tradition of interest in global studies and global issues,”Byerly said. “We recognize that the world that all of you will enter as students when you leave Lafayette is increasingly globalized and interconnected. Having some exposure to or a grasp of the kinds of issues and cultures of other places will be important for students of any major when going out into the world.”

Lexus is one of the luxury carmaker of Japan which is more popular among the people for providing different automobiles with excellent features. It is also going to launch some hybrid model in India in spite of a clear-cut push made by the government India for the vehicles which are fully electric. Also, Lexus knows that hybrids are not a stepping stone for full electrification but it is an ideal solution for the pollution which is taking place. That is why Lexus has planned to focus on the hybrid model vehicles.
Issue Founded In Making Hybrids:
The major issue they used to face in manufacturing the hybrid models is the lack of generation of renewable energy and it causes a major problem in adopting EV’s. The newly appointed chairman of India Lexus N Raja also said that even though the cost of EV’s is high, it is very difficult to generate clean energy and they also said ‘we still using coals and fossil fuels to generate electricity of fossil fuels and so the purpose of using that is getting lost”. So they are using EV’s to move on from the problem.
The ambition, as well as plan of the government, is to shift to a fully electric vehicle at least by the year 2030 but it has faced more flak from the different sections of the automaker industries which are maintaining that stepping into hybrids are a stepping stone which is necessary for full or battery electrics. Lexus also believes that India can be able to promote both hybrid and electric because one will be utilized better for the other one.
A spokesperson for the company also said that both are having better chance to become successful because it is closely related to the cost of the battery as well as the cost of the vehicle. The executive vice president of Lexus, Vince Socco has shown his concern towards the government providing a special importance to bring the desired output rather than giving importance to technology. He also added that are focusing on hybrids on their line-up to support the government plan to move to full electrification, but the government is fully focusing on battery vehicles which are good and asked the government to have a broad definition for electrification.
Though Lexus is moving ahead in increasing the number of hybrids which is its biggest challenge and it also needs the support of the government to make it more attractive. So Lexus is going to hike the price of the hybrids to a higher range in India. Before GST the tax rate was around 30 percent but after GST it has raised to 43 percent. To continue the push towards this hybrid technology, Mahindra has launched LS 500h recently and it was its sixth hybrid and it will be available at a range of Rs. 177 to Rs. 193 crore.
As government focuses on full electrification, Lexus is continuing its manufacture of hybrids as a stepping stone to achieve the ambition of Indian government. In order make India free from pollution, Lexus is also working with government by providing hybrids.

Discussion in 'Transformers Fan Art' started by Draven, Oct 5, 2005.
...Starsaber. I built the head last night.
This one's gonna take a while, there's a lot to build.
Can't wait to see the final pic.
dam that render looks slick xD
That is nice! Man, I so can't wait to see the finished model.
ooh, love the interior optical details.
Lawd... I can't wait until you show off the full thing *drools* (there so needs to be a drool emoticon).
I second that.
I LOVE the way you texture all your bots now, weeeeee so beautiful!
Thanks d00d. I've finally found a texturing style I truly like
Anyway! Here is the finished head:
There's a lot of it:
See what I mean?
The detail you go to for the friggen internal components is just astounding...
those optics are fantastic!
major kudos to you man! you go the extra mile
that eyeball is even more awesome!!!
man, you must have some kinda super computer to be able to build these highly detailed models.
Nope, just a sh*tload of patience
Actually, my gfx machine (3 Ghz P4, 1.5Gb RAM, 200Gb SATA HD) is in for repairs at the moment; motherboard problems. this was done on my older machine (2.4Ghz P4, 512Mb RAM, 80Gb IDE HD). It's enough to model on comfortably (I did Redemption Episode One on it), but it's pretty damn slow when it comes to rendering anything. That's where you need the processor power and the RAM the most.
Wow, some really good work there, Draven. Is Star Saber going to be featured in Redemption, or are you just doing this as a side project?
This one's just for fun, d00d.
A couple of years back I started collecting pictures of Starsaber (I even started a thread here asking for them), with a view to building him, but I never got round to actually doing it. Well, having picked up a beautiful condition Starsaber at Botcon, I decided to finally get on with it
Awesome all the way with the meticulous attention to detail (especially with the interior "eyeball")!
Overall, I like it alot.
must be nice! I have a pentium III 800 with 256 megs of ram and I dont even know what kind of video card, I think its a riva tnt 2. it works I guess, but I'd never be able to do an entire bot in the detail you can do, even when hiding all the finished parts, it still runs way too slow. I don't know if you saw that Energon Duststorm dude I made a few months ago, that's as detailed as I can go before it gets too choppy and crashes
You'd be surprised, man; most of Episode One was done using a 750Mhz P3, with 192Mb RAM and a Voodoo 5 gfx card. It's just a matter of squeezing as much performance out of your system as possible.
I do have an ulterior motive; every model I detail like this yields a variety of recyclable parts; for example, I now have a fully detailed optic system that I can use in other mechanoids as well
That first pic makes him look mad as hell. I love it!

The question arises if a simple pass can override a citizen’s right to take part in the election, writes P Ramakrishnan.
Nomination day determines a candidate’s legitimacy to contest in an election. When the nomination forms are filed and accepted, the election campaign begins.
This process is a simple requirement so that names can be included on the ballot paper and printed for voters to cast their votes and exercise their democratic right on polling day.
But what happened in certain nomination centres bewildered Malaysians. The actions of some returning officers were seen to be sabotaging the chances of Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the general election. Whether these were deliberate acts or just absurdities on their part will be decided when these cases go to court.
The case involving PKR vice-president Tian Chua defies understanding. His disqualification in the Batu parliamentary constituency was shocking. It may involve intricate arguments on the finer points of the law.
In another episode, both the police and Electoral Commission officials had apparently played a blatant role in deliberately preventing a potential election candidate from filing his nomination papers.
PKR candidate Dr S Streram was unable to submit his nomination papers for the Rantau state seat because he did not have the Electoral Commission pass to gain access to the nomination centre.
The police actually prevented him from entering the nomination centre to file his nomination papers and Electoral Commission officials deprived him of his fundamental right to contest the general election by not sorting out this little problem. It appeared that they wanted the caretaker menteri besar to be returned unopposed – and they succeeded in that!
The question arises if the stupid pass can override a citizen’s right to take part in the election.
Obtaining the pass is a procedural matter. The pass was only to facilitate his access into the nomination centre. It does not determine his eligibility to contest and his fundamental and inherent right to contest in the election. That right is a fundamental and inherent right derived from the constitution.
Here, when the doctrine of proportionality is applied, we can see the incongruity when a procedural wrong – the failure to obtain a pass – is used to deny a fellow Malaysian his basic, fundamental and inherent right to stand in the election.
Despite this, the police reportedly forcefully and bodily prevented him from entering the nomination centre. He was pushed behind the police barricade.
Why did they not alert Electoral Commission officials to the problem? They could have even taken him into the centre and handed him over to the officials to resolve the problem. Did they unthinkingly – or deliberately? – prevent his access to the nomination centre?
The officials must have known of the fracas outside the centre. Indeed they must have known because, according to Streram, two officials came to him at 9.42am, talked to him and assured him that the issue would be resolved. They promised to return – but they never did.
Couldn’t they have taken him into the nomination centre to resolve the problem? If, for some reason, he was found not eligible to contest in the election, they could have rejected his papers and showed him the exit. This did not happen.
One would have thought that it was only a commonsensical thing to do, but it seemed that commonsense had no place that morning. Instances elsewhere involved candidates not bringing their Electoral Commission passes but being allowed in to file their nomination papers. That was the right thing to do. But why is it that, in the case of Streram, such common sense did not prevail?
PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli accused the returning officer handling the Rantau state seat of deliberately delaying Streram. “I was informed by Harapan representatives in the hall that the Negri Sembilan Election Commission director had instructed the returning officer to allow Streram in to submit his nomination paper as early as 9.30am.
“However, the returning officer kept delaying before letting him in at 10.03am and then rejected the nomination,” he alleged.
How ridiculous the whole thing appears. At 9am, Streram could not be admitted into the nomination centre because he did not have a pass. On what grounds was he then let in at 10.03am when he still did not have the required pass?
This episode seems to suggest there was alleged collusion between the police and the Electoral Commission officials to sabotage the chances of Harapan of mounting a credible challenge in Rantau in the general election. They appear to have plotted to ensure that the caretaker menteri besar won without a contest. The whole episode reeks of political corruption to subvert the election in favour of Barisan Nasional.
There were other startling decisions made on nomination day.
In the cases involving the Bukit Pasir and Penaga candidates whose nomination papers were rejected on the grounds of their being bankrupt, the circumstances were intriguing,
When Bukit Pasir candidate Pizi Jihat’s papers were rejected, he produced documents obtained in a search on the Insolvency Department website to show he was not a bankrupt. But he was nonetheless disqualified on the grounds of being bankrupt.
According to Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin, Pizi had already settled his bankruptcy before being nominated and had brought proof with him. “But (the returning officer) said the latest cheque (sic) showed he was bankrupt, which is why I’m puzzled as to which is true,” Muhyiddin reportedly said.
We are obliged to ask whether there were two websites: one for the Electoral Commission and another for ordinary Malaysians? If this is true, which website prevails?
Bersatu’s Yaacob Osman, a candidate for the Penang state seat of Penaga, suffered the same fate: his papers were also rejected on the grounds that he was a bankrupt. But Yaakob refuted this, claiming that he had already run a check which did not show he is a bankrupt.
“The election commission has said that there is data that I am bankrupt. We did a cheque (sic) last week and yesterday as well. There were no issues and I have not been summoned by anyone or declared bankrupt. The election commission has decided, nothing can be done,” he was quoted as saying in The Star Online.
Obviously, the Electoral Commission seems to have access to a different website of the Insolvency Department which is not available to ordinary Malaysians!
How do Malaysians prove their case when there is contradictory evidence? Why should the Electoral Commission evidence override the evidence procured and produced by the candidate obtained from the same source?
Documents were presented to prove that they were not bankrupt. Despite this, they were disqualified. Did the returning officer produce documentary evidence to prove that they were still bankrupt on the day of the nomination? Will he publicly disclose the evidence he had to prove why he arrived at that decision to disqualify them?
This action will prove whether the candidates were lying or the returning officers were sabotaging their right to contest in the election.
Let the truth be told!
Elections matter, but how much they matter depends entirely on how free, open and fair they are. – Elliot Abrams

We followed the crest of the rock formation to the top of rock in the distance on the right of the photo.
Sage Ranch Park is adjacent to Boeing’s Santa Susana Field Laboratory. A portion of the park has been closed for more than five years, pending the cleanup of lead shot and other contaminants from the site of a former shooting range. In 2017 a new trail was created to detour around the closed area.

Businessman John Elliott yesterday lost an appeal against a Supreme Court judgement banning him from acting as a company director and said he would decide "in several days" whether to appeal the decision to the High Court.
An appeal by former Water Wheel managing director, Bernard Plymin, was partially upheld, with Mr Plymin's ban as a company director reduced from 10 to seven years.
Mr Elliott, a former Carlton Football Club and Liberal Party president was last year banned from directorship roles for four years and ordered to make a shared payment of $1.43 million compensation to unsecured creditors for allowing flour and rice miller Water Wheel Holdings to trade while insolvent.
Led by Chief Justice Marilyn Warren, the panel said Mr Elliott "stubbornly and tenaciously" allowed Water Wheel to trade while doing nothing to protect creditors from the inevitable insolvency.
"No doubt the judge was impressed by the character evidence as to Elliott's past performance, which explains why a lenient prohibition order was imposed," the court said in a written finding.
Mr Elliott said he would consider whether he would apply to the High Court of Australia for special leave to appeal the decision.
The Court granted Mr Elliott a 21-day stay on the commencement of the disqualification order while he considered his decision.
"I'm very disappointed with the result," Mr Elliott said.
"There is a 75-page judgement and we've had a cursory look at it - I've just talked to one of my barristers on the phone.
"We think we've got very good grounds for appeal and we will be going through it in a lot more detail over the next several days and we've got 28 days to decide what we are going to do."

Lown, J. M. (2007). Measuring Financial Planning Personality Type Based on the Stages of Change. Journal of Consumer Education, 24,28-39.
Brief description: The two-question Financial Planning Personality Type (FPPT) assessment provides a simple and practical tool to evaluate an individual’s financial planning type as well as their stage of change in Transtheoretical Model (TTM). The questions ask about a person’s financial attitudes and financial planning attitudes. It is easy to administer and score. Derived from the Retirement Personality Profiler (RPP) in the Retirement Confidence Survey (RCS), the FPPT categorizes respondents into one of the five types: deniers, strugglers, impulsives, savers or planners. (See journal article for response categories and scoring.)
Implications: Knowing one’s readiness for change can provide insight into how to move forward in achieving financial goals. Progressing to the next level of change may be more realistic than expecting to achieve a challenging financial goal. Having information on the TTM stage is helpful to educators in developing programs to catalyze behavior change and assessing program effectiveness. Financial advisers can use this simple assessment to guide their suggestions for action. In sum, consumers, educators, practitioners and researchers can use the two-item FPPT to quickly assess stage of change (or readiness to learn or take action) to achieve financial goals.

Venue: The Coliseum, London
Never a shy wallflower type when it comes to performing, Liza Minnelli, daughter of Judy Garland and film director Vincente Minnelli, inherited her screen and stage talents from both her parents. She admits she likes to show off and, when she does, it’s always way over the top. Like her mother she feeds off audience applause – and what an audience she has! Still, she managed to fill the London Coliseum for three nights on the trot before setting out on a UK tour and then hitting Europe. If this audience is typical she will have enough adoration to last a lifetime – much whistling, stamping, the members of the audience stood up before she had even started, shouted “bravo!” at every number and just wouldn’t let her go. In fact, it’s the Judy Garland story all over again and by the end of a very strenuous evening Liza looked totally exhausted. At age 62 she deserves some sort of medal for lifetime achievement. But, if this tour doesn’t kill her, then nothing will.
Liza Minnelli’s first professional appearance was in the film “In the Good Old Summertime” in 1949 when she was carried on as a three-year-old. She hit Broadway in 1963 in “Best foot forward”, the following year she played the London Palladium with her mother, and the year after that saw her winning a Tony Award for “Flora the Red Menace”, the first of many Kander & Ebb shows and films that starred Minnelli, such as Cabaret”, “Chicago”, “The Rink” and “The Act”. If there are any superstars left, then Liza Minnelli is surely one of them and she shows no signs of slowing down. It might be better if she did, if only for her own health and well-being. Unfortunately her fanatical audience won’t let her. Every song must be a production number, and hardly anything is sung ‘straight’. Great arrangements they may be for her big, loud band, but just occasionally something quiet would be preferable, if only to let Liza and her audience catch their collective breaths.
“I always used to sit down in the second half”, she quips, “but now I sit down in the first.” Well, why not, after all she has had two replacement hips and was once confined to a wheelchair. Only her determination to sing and dance again allowed her to recover and it is only towards the end of the evening that she exhibits signs of flagging, trying to get her breath and seemingly struggling to return for her curtain calls. But she has lost none of the sheer energy it takes to perform for two hours. She starts fairly slowly with the Gene De Paul/Sammy Cahn song ‘Teach me tonight’, a nice ballad that doesn’t need too much effort to make it work. It’s ironic but Liza pulls out all the stops whereas the late Sylvia Syms lets the lyrics speak for themselves. Kurt Weill’s ‘My ship’ gets a similar treatment coupled with the Gershwins’ ‘The man I love’. Then it’s into Kander & Ebb country with an up-tempo point-number ‘Sara Lee’, a tribute to the great lady of American cakes.
Following a medley of Sondheim’s ‘Old friends’ and ‘Live alone and like it’, remembering that Liza gave Stephen a chart hit with her version of ‘Losing my mind’ with the Pet Shop Boys, there’s more Kander & Ebb. Liza took over from an indisposed Gwen Verdon in the Broadway production of “Chicago” for seven weeks. She sings one of its best numbers, ‘My own best friend’, a song cut from the subsequent film version, to which she gives a plaintive reading, before taking a seat for ‘Maybe this time’ from “Cabaret”. These songs show that Liza has inherited some of her father’s theatrical chutzpah as well as some of her mother’s talent. However, she lacks Garland’s pathos. All the moves are there but there’s a steely quality to the vulnerability.
Things calm down in the second half in which four young men join Liza in a tribute to her godmother Kay Thompson, author, singer, composer and vocal coach at MGM during its musical heyday. Thompson died ten years ago at age 90 and had always been a presence in Liza’s life. Here Liza reproduces Kay’s cabaret act with some of the songs she wrote for herself and for Andy Williams and his three brothers. It is a great act and Liza’s performance is enhanced by the smooth harmonies of the four ‘brothers’ in numbers such as ‘Jubilee’ and ‘I love a violin’ as well as other material such as ‘Liza’, ‘Clap yo’ hands’ and ‘Basin Street Blues’. It’s a telling reminder of a more civilised time when cabaret was sophisticated special material performed with the utmost professionalism. The singing and the dancing here are perfection, making one wish that the whole evening had been devoted to the talents of Kay Thompson. An a cappella encore of ‘I’ll be seeing you’ is stretching it a bit but, game girl that she is, Liza perseveres to the bitter end. Next time, Liza, just try not to pull out all the stops.
