text: A plow is an agricultural machine designed for soil cultivation. During plowing, the working bodies of the plow crumble the layers of soil, wrap them up and dump them to the bottom of the formed furrow. In this case, all residues of stubble and weeds are embedded deep into the soil. Plowing is carried out to a depth of 150mm. The plowing depth and the angle of inclination of the plow are adjusted by means of a hitch.

Bachmann embraces conservative talk radio, says birther movement is a non-issue
Rep. Michelle Bachmann appeared on national television Tuesday night on Larry King Live on CNN.
Bachmann said that conservative talk radio - representing about 2 percent of the American population, according to King - is America's new critical mass.
She said she is comfortable with Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck being the voice of the Republican Party.
She also said the birther issue concern is "flat out non-issue." Some conspiracy theory followers believe that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii, and that his Hawaii birth certificate is forged.

Stephen Hunt tells Mick McCarthy he's ready for Premier League action after eight-month injury hell
Wolves midfielder Stephen Hunt is ready to end eight months of injury frustration after declaring himself available to face West Ham in Saturday's crunch relegation battle.
Hunt came through 45 minutes of Tuesday night's reserve clash against Wigan with no ill effects. It was his first action since being sidelined with a foot injury at his previous club, Hull, in February.
At last: Stephen Hunt finally pulled on a Wolves shirt in a reserve match against Wigan
Easy tiger: Hunt joined Wolves from Hull in the summer
But Hunt, signed by Wolves in the summer for £3million, is confident he can play some part against the Hammers at Molineux.
He said: 'The foot felt good and I was happy to get 45 minutes. To
play 45 minutes was always the plan although I probably could have
played for longer.
'I found myself making the runs I normally make and I'm going to get sharper and better as the weeks go on.
'But the real stuff is on Saturday at 3pm. That pressure is what I
really enjoy and hopefully I can have a taste of it this weekend then
at Chelsea the following week.'
Hunt admitted: 'It would be great to play against West Ham. It's a big game for us after four defeats in a row. To play 15-20 minutes on Saturday might not be beyond me. If I'm needed to start the game then I'm sure I could, but it's down to the manager.'

A characteristic of all liquids is that a change in volume occurs with a change in temperature. This thermal coefficient of expansion varies with each liquid. The measurement of most liquids is based on net volume, defined as volume at a referenced base temperature (60 degrees F for the petroleum industry in the U.S.A. for example). When metering liquids, the operating temperature is usually other than the base temperature and can also vary during the measurement. The difference between gross metered volume and net volume will depend on the coefficient of expansion of the liquid and the difference between average metered liquid temperature and base temperature.
Meters equipped with the ATC Automatic Temperature Compensator provide net volume or weight registration. This registration is based on continuous integration of gross metered volume and temperature regardless of flow rate and temperature fluctuations. It is also based on the coefficient of expansion of the particular liquid being metered.

Welcome aboard! The 32.1 is a great floor plan
Does that trailer you intend to haul weigh the full 7000 lbs?
I believe your ACE 32.1 has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or GVWR of 20,500 lbs that is loaded weight of the coach, all passengers, gear, cloths, food, water, propane, trailer tongue weight, & any after market items like sumo springs & steer stabilizers.
The ACE 32.1 has a Gross Combined Weight Rating or GCWR of 26,000 lbs, That number is the total weight of motorhome and its contents (GVWR) and the weight any towed trailers, it is not to exceed 26,000 lbs. Pulling a 7000 lb trailer if your fully loaded motorhome weighs in at 20,500 lbs loaded puts you overweight by 1,500 lbs, 3/4 of a ton.
Even though the motorhome's hitch is rated for 8000 lbs you legally can't tow that much unless the weights in the MH are kept under 18,000 lbs and that is pretty much the driver and an empty rig.
For what it's worth this is information sales goobers don't tell you.

Washington-based modern psych-rock band Dead Meadow is set to release a special concept record as part of Blues Funeral Recordings’ upcoming PostWax Vol. II vinyl series. Emerging in Washington, D.C. in the late ’90s, Dead Meadow reached critical mass in the mid-2000s, creating a dreamy, universe-expanding blend of classic and forward-thinking psychedelic rock that puts them at the top of modern psych-rock tinged with post-metal, carving out space somewhere between the Black Angels and Explosions in the Sky.
After a performance at The Pillars of the Gods earlier this year, the band set to work creating a special release for PostWax Vol. II. Of their forthcoming PostWax recordings, singer and guitarist Jason Simon says: “Dead Meadow present ‘The Unhounded Now’, a mostly instrumental outing of fuzzed-out drone, otherworldly melody, and eastern tinged celebration.”
Also confirmed to take part in the series are Acid King, Lowrider, Elephant Tree, Mammoth Volume, Josiah, REZN, and Vinnum Sabbathi. The final band to join the series will be announced soon. The press release states, “The purpose of Postwax Vol. II is to create a curated series of releases that stand alone yet also connect, both through art elements and a musical throughline, in the form of next level collectible records for all heavy rock fans worldwide.”

Increasing Facility Capacity by Use of Topography
Date: May 17, 2021
Parkhill was contracted by the El Paso Water Utilities – Public Service Board (EPWU-PSB) to evaluate the Artcraft, Westport and El Paso West Lift Stations. These lift stations were located in northwest El Paso and were operating at or near capacity. The lift stations were all located adjacent to IH-10 along the lower elevations of the foothills of the Franklin Mountains. Due to pressure from residential and commercial development within the service areas, the EPWU was seeking a solution to increase the capacity of the system. Mountainous terrain and creative design solutions allow a new 13 MGD lift station to convey 20 MGD of wastewater to El Paso’s Northwest Wastewater Treatment Plant. The new 13 MGD station replaced three existing stations and one future lift station and conveys their entire flow by combining a “gravity force main” and pumped flows. This paper will discuss the hydraulic modeling and complex system head curves needed to maintain acceptable operating parameters from initial start-up to build-out.

Perioperative Platelet Activation and the Inhibitory Effect of Milrinone
Faraday, Nauder M.D.
SURGERY activates the circulating pool of blood platelets. This process is most intense at sites of vascular injury, where platelets adhere and aggregate to plug vascular holes and provide the phospholipid surface necessary for coagulation proteins to assemble and generate fibrin. However, activated platelets can also be detected in blood remote from sites of surgical trauma. These less intensively activated circulating platelets may contribute to the postsurgical prothrombotic state by responding more vigorously to subsequent activating stimuli or by inducing procoagulant behavior in other cells, primarily leukocytes and endothelial cells. In this issue of Anesthesiology, Beppu et al.1
extend previous observations by characterizing perioperative activation of platelet intracellular activation pathways, monocyte tissue factor expression, and the ability of milrinone to inhibit these prothrombotic activation events.
Platelets circulate in the blood in a quiescent state and can be rapidly activated by a variety of chemical (e.g.
, collagen, thrombin, adenosine diphosphate, epinephrine) and physical (shear stress) stimuli. Recognition of these extracellular stimuli by specific platelet surface receptors leads to activation of intracellular activation pathways, which in turn increases the surface expression of platelet adhesive molecules, such as the fibrinogen receptor (integrin αIIb
) and P-selectin. The expression of a conformationally active fibrinogen receptor transforms platelets from a quiescent to an active state capable of binding soluble fibrinogen and aggregating. This activation step is critical to clinical hemostasis and is the target of glycoprotein IIb–IIIa antagonists in current therapeutic use for prevention of coronary thrombosis. The expression of P-selectin allows platelets to bind to a constitutively expressed receptor on monocytes and neutrophils termed P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1
The clinical relevance of these platelet–leukocyte interactions is not entirely clear; however, greater numbers of circulating platelet–leukocyte aggregates are associated with increased risk of recurrent myocardial ischemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes.3
In laboratory models, the interaction between platelet P-selectin and leukocyte P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 promotes tissue factor expression on monocytes and formation of circulating tissue factor–bearing microparticles, which contribute to thrombus formation in vivo
In their report, Beppu et al. confirm previous observations by demonstrating increased platelet aggregability and expression of conformationally active fibrinogen receptors (identified by PAC1 binding) on circulating platelets remote from the site of surgery. They demonstrate an increase in platelet P-selectin expression and platelet–leukocyte aggregate formation in the perioperative period, consistent with in vivo platelet activation. The authors also observe increased activation (phosphorylation) of several intracellular platelet pathways. Specifically, they note postoperative increases in phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), p38 MAPK and extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2, and of Akt, which is dependent on phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase for activation. The reported observations on MAPK pathways are of particular interest because the role of these kinases in platelet function is incompletely understood and has not been previously characterized in surgical patients. Also of great interest is the authors’ observation that monocyte tissue factor expression increases postoperatively, paralleling results of platelet–leukocyte aggregate formation. The reported increase in plasma fibrin monomer is consistent with activation of platelets and monocytes, although these events are not definitively linked by the studies performed.
The authors examined the effect of milrinone infusion on platelet and monocyte function and fibrin formation in vivo
in a randomized clinical trial of knee arthroplasty patients. Compared with placebo, a 24-h infusion of milrinone reduced the postoperative increase in platelet aggregability, PAC1 and P-selectin expression, phosphorylation of platelet p38 MAPK, extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2 and Akt, platelet–leukocyte aggregate formation, monocyte tissue factor expression, and fibrin monomer formation. Milrinone is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor with relative specificity for the phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) isoform, and milrinone infusion increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels in platelets and other PDE3-expressing cells.6
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate is a second messenger regulating platelet calcium metabolism, which is critical to the activation state of platelets. An increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate reduces platelet calcium concentration, suppressing platelet activation caused by a variety of stimuli. Although milrinone infusion is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in congestive heart failure, its antiplatelet effects are well known, and, indeed, another PDE3 inhibitor, cilostazol, is approved for treatment of intermittent claudication (in the United States) and for prevention of stroke (in Japan).6
The reported reduction in measures of platelet activation are expected, given the ability of milrinone to inhibit platelet activation; however, its ability to suppress monocyte tissue factor expression and fibrin formation is noteworthy and suggests a link between platelet activation, tissue factor expression, and fibrin formation in vivo
Beppu et al. follow their clinical studies with supportive in vitro experiments using blood obtained from normal volunteers. Incubation of samples in vitro with a therapeutic concentration of milrinone (1 μm) inhibited collagen– and adenosine diphosphate–stimulated platelet activation using the same metrics examined in clinical blood samples. Milrinone also inhibited collagen-stimulated tissue factor expression on monocytes, and, importantly, this effect was dependent on activated platelets because the inhibitory effect was only observed when monocytes were examined in the presence of activated platelets. Experiments with pharmacologic inhibitors of p38 MAPK, extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2, and phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase demonstrated the distinct sequela of platelet activation through these pathways: p38 MAPK activation seems to contribute to platelet P-selectin expression, platelet–monocyte aggregate formation, and monocyte tissue factor expression, whereas extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2 and phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt activation seems to contribute to fibrinogen receptor activation (PAC1 binding) and platelet aggregation.
The clinical implications of the authors’ work are unclear. Milrinone is not and should not be used as an antithrombotic agent. Effective antiplatelet (e.g.
, aspirin, clopidogrel) and anticoagulant (e.g.
, heparin) agents, which have undergone the rigors of randomized controlled trials, are available for this purpose. It is interesting that the authors did not see a difference in blood loss or transfusion in the milrinone treated group, despite inhibition of platelet function. Similar findings have been reported in a small randomized clinical trial of milrinone in cardiac surgery patients.7
One possible explanation is that the ability of milrinone to inhibit platelet activation, monocyte tissue factor expression, and fibrin formation is too modest to be clinically relevant. An alternative explanation is that a modest, but clinically relevant, bleeding effect could not be detected with the small sample sizes examined in these studies. A third intriguing possibility is that milrinone, and potentially other PDE3 inhibitors, do possess a clinically relevant antithrombotic effect but do not significantly alter normal hemostasis or promote bleeding. Consistent with this possibility is the observation that cilostazol does not prolong bleeding time or increase clinical bleeding events, even though it effectively inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro
and reduces restenosis after percutaneous peripheral arterial revascularization.8,9
Additional investigation is warranted to examine the effects of PDE3 inhibition on bleeding and thrombotic outcomes in vivo
in animal and human studies.

We are thrilled to be part of such an important movement that empowers our youth with a voice and a creative platform to share and ultimately achieve their desired future for themselves, their communities and the world
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 11, 2009
Move over television. Make room for TEL.A.VISION, a new Web 2.0 platform that inspires youth to create and share visions of hope and possibility through personal "vision videos." TEL.A.VISION (http://www.telavision.tv), started in Minnesota last fall, will launch nationally on Friday, March 20, as thousands of kids and educational leaders across America take part in the first ever TEL.A.VISION Day.
Created to celebrate the importance of vision, imagination and forward-thinking, especially among youth, TEL.A.VISION Day will feature in-classroom activities for elementary, junior and senior high schools; and the nation's first ever 24-hour online broadcast of vision videos, press events and special guest appearances. Additionally, a live broadcast from National Youth Leadership Council's (NYLC) 20th annual National Service-Learning Conference in Nashville will connect leaders across America as TEL.A.VISION contest winners are revealed.
"We are thrilled to be part of such an important movement that empowers our youth with a voice and a creative platform to share and ultimately achieve their desired future for themselves, their communities and the world," said Amy Meuers, conference director for NYLC.
For a complete list of in-classroom and online TEL.A.VISION Day activities, visit http://www.telavision.tv/telavision_day. For an in-depth look into TEL.A.VISION, view a recent press conference at http://www.telavision.tv/press_conference.
A New Digital Footprint
TEL.A.VISION was founded by Minnesota entrepreneur George Johnson to counteract negative imagery in the world, primarily on television. TEL.A.VISION videos are created via http://www.telavision.tv, with technology powered by One True Media (http://www.onetruemedia.com), a TEL.A.VISION partner and maker of online software that allows people to easily create and share video montages. Kids create a TEL.A.VISION video by combining compelling words, images and music into a three-minute guided tour through one's desired future.
Johnson launched the free online technology in Minneapolis last October. As a result, educators and youth leaders are successfully using the technology and curriculum within their classrooms and programs. The Minneapolis School District is slated to have students develop vision videos using TEL.A.VISION technology next fall. TEL.A.VISION also caught the attention of one of the nation's top educational organizations, TIES Education Technology Collaborative, which will engage its member-schools in TEL.A.VISION Day through a special contest where classrooms create collaborative "Vision for America" videos for a chance to win prizes and recognition during the 24-hour TEL.A.VISION Day broadcast.
"We are energized by this movement that is quickly emerging around TEL.A.VISION," said Johnson. "Teaching kids to live a more intentional life by creating a vision video, which combines goal-setting, visualization and creativity, is a powerful experience. Kids love TEL.A.VISION because it's fun. Educators and parents love it because it offers a positive online activity that has potential to create real value in the world."
TEL.A.VISION, a partnership between George Johnson and Haberman (http://www.modernstorytellers.com), a national brand public relations firm representing pioneers, was formed to help kids realize their potential and create a world that works for all. TEL.A.VISION supporters include SEARCH Institute, Junior Achievement, Youthrive/PeaceJam, Wired for 2020 and the National Institute on Media and the Family.

Daily report for 9 September 1996
3rd Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests of the Commission on Sustainable Development
The third session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests convened on Monday, 9September 1996 in Geneva. After addressing procedural matters in the opening plenary,delegates broke into two working groups. Working Group I began consideration ofprogramme element I.1 (national forest and land use plans) and Working Group II beganconsideration of programme element I.2 (international cooperation in financial assistanceand technology transfer).
Co-chairs Sir Martin Holdgate (UK) and Manuel Rodriguez (Colombia) opened thesession, emphasizing its importance because delegates must arrive at negotiatedconclusions and recommendations for transmission to the CSD. They applauded the levelof progress made during the intersessional period and encouraged consideration of reportsproduced at intersessional workshops. A workshop on traditional forest-relatedknowledge sponsored by Denmark and Colombia was announced for January of next year.
The Director of the Department of Policy Coordination and Sustainable Development,Joke Waller-Hunter, highlighted progress made during the intersessional period andencouraged the Panel to take advantage of work accomplished. Common understandinghas emerged with regard to several programme elements including land-use planning,national forest plans and forest assessments. Further deliberation on C&I, valuation offorest goods and services and underlying causes of deforestation is needed. The IPFshould adopt realistic recommendations and refrain from taking a wish list approach.
The provisional agenda (E/CN.17/IPF/1996/13) was then introduced. The proposedagenda of work consists largely of two parallel working group sessions. Preliminaryconclusions are to be drafted during the first week and negotiated into final text during thesecond week. Programme element V.2 (legal mechanisms) will be discussed in plenary.SWITZERLAND suggested that plenary be extended to facilitate the adoption ofconclusions. The provisional agenda was adopted. The EU, supported by GABON andSENEGAL, expressed concern regarding the unavailability of certain documents in allworking languages. The Panels work could be impeded.
The floor was open for general comments. The EU highlighted the need to formulate clearand appropriate conclusions as well as concrete proposals for action. Cross-sectoral issuesmust be acknowledged and incorporated.
COLOMBIA and the ALLIANCE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES emphasized theimportance of intersessional activities, such as the upcoming meeting sponsored by theColombian and Danish governments on traditional forest-related knowledge. MEXICOsaid the Panel should deliver practical conclusions that spell out means to implement them.FINLAND reported that the Nordic forestry ministers met in July and expressed theirsupport for the IPFs work and urged it to formulate recommendations for concreteaction. He underlined that the Panels work should be holistic and intersectoral, and apolicy forum must continue to exist after IPF-4 to maintain momentum.
WORKING GROUP I
Working Group I convened with discussion of programme element I.1 (national forest andland use plans). Jean Clement (FAO) introduced the Secretary Generals Report(E/CN.17/IPF/1996/14) on the issue. The report, based largely on the outcomes of theworkshops held in South Africa and Germany, is divided into three sections: definitions ofterms, future challenges and proposals for IPF action. He urged the adoption of auniversal concept for national forest programmes but noted the need to retain nationalsovereignty, particularly with regard to implementation. National forest programmesshould consider the needs of all stakeholders and employ international cooperation.
GERMANY presented the options for action produced by the German expert consultationon implementing the Forest Principles, including a code of conduct. On internationalcooperation, the experts proposed a new Forum for International Cooperation onForests. SWEDEN highlighted the upcoming Sweden/Uganda initiative on sustainableforestry and land use and the process of consensus building. The WORLD RAINFORESTMOVEMENT highlighted the problems of plantation workers and recommended thatmember governments ratify relevant international instruments.
The EU supported the basic principles of national forest programmes proposed in thereport and stressed the fundamental need for commitment in future policy. Sheemphasized the need for public and private investments and said that development musthave capacity-building as an objective. SENEGAL requested clarification on the newforum for international consultation and said he saw no need for a forum that isindependent of national institutions. There has been duplication of efforts that hasundermined the planning process in many countries. FINLAND emphasized several keyissues, including: full integration of forest planning with wider land use planning;decentralized participatory planning; coordination of various international planningframeworks; and, incorporation of C&I into NFPs.
SWITZERLAND endorsed further deliberations on the proposed consultative forum andsaid that national level mechanisms need to be developed to ensure comprehensivesupport. He supported the proposed efforts toward partnership. NEW ZEALAND saidNFPs are essential to obtain optimum use of land where competing claims exist and notedthe need for flexibility in planning to address countries different needs and resources.IUCN noted that primary forest users have the right to be involved in the development ofNFPs. He called for participatory planning and community involvement. The US soughtdifferent planning processes for different countries, given the variance of land ownershippatterns and mechanisms for public participation. All processes should be holistic,transparent and geared toward the long-term.
MALI, supported by the AFRICAN NETWORK FOR FORESTS, called for flexibility inplanning processes, stating that NFPs should reflect established policies. TheNETHERLANDS supported the universal development of NFPs and offered to assistcountries with implementation. He said that agencies involved in NFP development shouldbe involved in evaluation.
JAPAN acknowledged the lack of funding, capacity and international cooperation asobstacles to the development of NFPs. He called for support from local communities inthe implementation of NFPs and suggested that a pilot phase be conducted. NORWAYsaid NFPs must be sensitive to the needs of various types of forests and small forests. Hesought the use of universal terminology and supported the development of a consultativebody. PAPUA NEW GUINEA supported forest planning for all countries andinternational cooperation for capacity building.
The ORGANIZACION DE LOS PUEBLOS INDIGENAS DE LA AMAZONIACOLOMBIA noted that land use was closely linked to social and cultural issues.Implementation of NFPs should address indigenous concerns. AUSTRIA called forgreater recognition of mountain ecosystems in forest management plans. The REPUBLICOF KOREA said NFPs should be flexible and accommodate each countrys specificcircumstances. He suggested balancing top-down and bottom-up approaches to forestplanning. CANADA said NFPs are the best way to achieve SFM and should incorporatenational-level C&I, the views of all stakeholders and biodiversity concerns.
<$TSpInterLn=1373;EfWeight=4>UNESCO stressed the need to address the divergencebetween principles, plans and practices in forest management. Disincentives as well asincentives should be considered for private funding mechanisms.
CHINA supported the development of NFPs but urged that planning be flexible. Plansshould balance use and conservation objectives. The PHILIPPINES said NFPs need toaccount for each countrys unique natural conditions. Local participation is vital forimplementation. She sought clarification regarding the proposed consultative body.
MALAYSIA endorsed the reports NFP concept and basic principles, but noted thatworking definitions warranted further elaboration. He expressed concern aboutinternational consultations on NFPs. A NGO representative said some fundamentalconstraints have not been included, such as the lack of political will, and recommended amore explicit elaboration of the ecosystem approach. He noted that stakeholders shouldbe used rather than partners.
WORKING GROUP II
Working Group II, chaired by Manuel Rodriguez (Colombia), opened with a summary ofthe Secretary Generals report on programme element I.2 (international cooperation infinancial assistance and technology transfer). DENMARK presented the results of itsworkshop, co-sponsored with South Africa and UNDP, on financial mechanisms andsources of finance for sustainable forestry held in Pretoria, South Africa from 4-7 June1996. Participants discussed the roles of ODA and national governments; the possibilitiesfor effective coordination; new and innovative mechanisms; and implications of increasedprivate capital investment. The mutual recognition of shared responsibilities for theworlds forests was a breakthrough achieved at the workshop.
COLOMBIA underscored the importance of generating new and additional funding aspromised at UNCED, especially for SFM. He highlighted the need to create a code ofconduct for private investment and an information clearinghouse on marketing of forestproducts. The EU noted that private capital flows are increasing, but are still directedtowards unsustainable forestry practices. They should be channeled into investments thatmeet the wider public interest. He stressed that the EU does not intend to use increasedprivate sector flows as an excuse to reduce ODA for SFM. ZIMBABWE stated that thereports consideration of private investment is too optimistic. He also noted that the reportfails to recognize the important contributions of local communities to SFM. COSTARICA, on behalf of the G-77/CHINA, said that financial assistance and technologytransfer are cross-cutting issues and should therefore be discussed in a horizontal fashion.INDONESIA stated that the report overemphasizes market-based instruments withinrecipient countries. IUCN expressed concern that the potential for community investmenthad been overlooked. He proposed adding text to the report on increasing community-level benefits and responsibilities to promote local investment in SFM.
The UK noted the need to direct forest sector investment into SFM. He said privateinvestors are not always attracted to countries with low forest cover and developmentcooperation should play an important role in supporting them. The US said the potentialfor increasing the proportion of ODA devoted to forests would depend upon the prioritiesof recipient countries. She questioned the utility of the proposed working group and thedefinition of the proposed code of conduct. SWITZERLAND noted that while privatesector investment has increased, much of it has not been for SFM. She supported theproposed code of conduct and said the proposed working group should have a mandate toensure that ODA is deployed more effectively.
GERMANY highlighted the need for closer involvement of the private sector indevelopment of NFPs. CHINA said the report overemphasizes national and privateinvestment at the expense of international financing and technology transfers from Northto South. NORWAY recognized that ODA will continue to be important to support SFM,but to be most effective these funds should be combined with other sources. Ways andmeans to combine ODA and private investment should be explored. AUSTRALIAasserted that the costs of achieving SFM in developing countries exceeds existing ODA,so it is critical to implement enabling policies and legal frameworks.

Speedo FS Pro Recordbreaker KneeskinSpeedo's Aqualab has once again reinvented the technical suit. The Speedo Fastskin Pro is lighter, faster and more powerful. It features quick drying fabric which is ideal for multiple swims on the same day, all the while enhancing performance. The unique water repellent coating limits water absorption which prolongs suit life. In order to provide optimum fit, Speedo collected body scan data from hundreds of swimmers to ensure every stitch and seam was correctly placed. Unlike many technical suits, the seams are vertically oriented to reduce drag based on CFD analysis (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The specifically formulated compression formula now provides 15% more power and compression than any lightweight suit on the market. Compression also provides core stability and firmness during competition without feeling restrictive or heavy, which is so important in swimming. Speedo's special LZR pulse fabric, a high density microfiber fabric woven from chlorine resistant elastane and ultra fine nylon thread, provides the lowest water absorption rate of any woven fabric.
With all these benefits and features, it's quite evident how Speedo retains longtime wearers of their highly advanced suits.
Recently, USA Swimming Head National Team Coach Mark Schubert was among many swimming insiders praising the new Fastskin FS Pro. ''The FS Pro is taking swim suit technology to a whole new level'' he said. ''After breaking the 200 Butterfly world record, Michael Phelps commented to me on my last turn, I felt like I was shot out of a cannon in that suit. My legs felt so good''. Since Michael Phelps tested and approved the suit, Speedo is hard pressed to have a more authoritative nod.

When I was preparing to retire as a librarian, I read several books about aging and retirement. I received some excellent advice that translated into action which is reflected in my blog. The first and broader task was to think in terms of legacy — what did I want to leave behind and how could I best accomplish what was important to me in the remaining years of my life? The second was more specific and had to do with what would make my remaining years fulfilling and enjoyable — my bucket list.
The photo above illustrates one item on my bucket list — to visit as many bookstores as I can and to promote them and those that are out of my reach. You can see that I have collected bookmarks from many of those I have visited, an inexpensive and unencumbered way to remember them.
One item on my bucket list — to visit as many bookstores as I can and to promote them and those that are out of my reach.
I have expanded this bucket list item to a “make-a-wish” venture for booklovers whereby my friends and I would participate in a bookstore tour of some length. A good starting point would be those featured in my book recommendation for the month:
My Bookstore: Writers Celebrate Their Favorite Places to Browse, Read and Shop
I loved this book on several levels. Many of my favorite authors have written essays included in the book, which gave me insight into their reading and shopping habits. The essays almost inevitably introduced me to the owners and staff of the stores, and confirmed what I had already known: those who own and work in bookstores are extraordinary people, who see and understand the world as I do. Each author’s biographical information include titles from their work, so I have also gained many books for my “to read” list. What more could I ask for?
To answer my own question, let me state that I am not a person who would enjoy cruises, especially those that would put me on open water for several days. What I would enjoy would be a bookstore cruise. Put me on a train or a luxury bus in the company of other booklovers, give me a liberal shopping allowance, and send me from bookstore to bookstore, using those in this book as the itinerary. I would expect that the bookstore owner would be so excited to have shoppers by the busload, that they would make arrangements for a wonderful place for us to eat and spend the night. Oh, and a requirement would be that the author who wrote about the store in such glowing terms would return once more to meet all of their new friends (thanks to the book) and sign a few titles while they were there. Until that happens, I will use this book for my own itinerary and bookish bucket list.
I have already recruited some members of The Ravenous Readers group at the McLoud (Oklahoma) branch of the Pioneer Library System. I can’t imagine a more congenial group of bookstore cruisers, but would expect to also meet a lot of new bookish friends along the way.
Reading Resource of the Month
I will also introduce you to Parnassus Books in Nashville, because I enjoyed visiting there and because the co-owners are Karen Hayes and one of my favorite authors, Ann Patchett. While on their website, be sure to subscribe to her blog, Musing, which showcases exclusive interviews and original contributions from great authors and their own staff of booklovers (both human and canine).


Ford Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hopefully i can help..
If this problem has only occurred shortly after you had the clutch assembly done - then the next stage would be to have good visual inspection around the engine bay in particular down the right hand side as you look into the engine bay/gearbox side and check all the connectors/ you see down that side/ignition coil/leads and such like to ensure they are fully connected - it possible thats maybe whats hapened here that something during either refitting of the gearbox or during removal hasnt been fully connected back electrically or misplaced or worked itself loose under vibration when the engine was running hence the flickering at the beginning and then to the point where the light is on permanently..so maybe have good inspection down that side if you can and see what you find..the next stage if you cant see anything obvious would be to have the garage concerned go over or pretty much re-trace their steps or better still diagnostically scan the vehicles ecu and see what exactly has been picked up "fault code wise" and then take it from there..I do hope this helps..
Nothing seems loose but with the compact nature of modern engines there may be connections I've missed hidden away. I can get ecu codes by getting 'test' up on the dashboard but I go through about 40 of them and obviously to me they don't mean much to me. If you can suggest one to look for that is more likely then the others to cause the fault that may be useful. I'll drop the car in to the garage that did the clutch this week to get them to check it.
Hi..there thanks for your reply..
You shouldnt have about 40 fault codes unless there is serious issue as far as the ecu goes or communication wiring to it is damaged or suspect to cause all those faults to log.you should see the ecu just to front of the battery or up from the pasenger headlamp area.to the left of the washer bottle filler neck check the wiring there,the ecu does needs shifted to when the gearbox needs removed so certainly check that - you can try disconnecting the battery for about 10mins and then reconnect and see if the same codes appear,ensure the terminals are resecure also check earth strap to gearbox too..never the less it isnt usually wise to go by the codes you see from the dash self test there but to always back it up by doing a proper plug in test via the 16 pin dlc port,any good garage would do that - as you may find that half these codes wont even come up on the test and might not actually relate to the problem you have anyway or could be old codes - prob the most obvious things to check would be Ignition system - coil as such which i may add arent really all that uncommon for failing on these engines and can produce exactly the same symptoms you'll see that near the top on the right hand side and the 4 ht's coming from it check that ensure those hts are secure and the multiplug connector to it..they would also have too disconnect the front exhaust flexible pipe so they would also have to check the lambda sensors/wiring from them on the pipe havent been damaged..Without knowning the exact codes you have usually P fault codes are the ones you go by that would be the only way forward if you can see anything obvious as far anything loose or disconnected..

A ryokan-type hotel in a Tokyo high-rise may sound like a contradiction in phrases, but meticulous planning went into the design of this escape in the midst of the bustling city. Fitted with conventional tatami flooring, luxuriously snug futon mattresses, and large soaking tubs, the eighty four rooms here ensure complete serenity and peace. The blue-and-white shade scheme, breezy verandas, and plenty of tropical prints at the Jamaica Inn show off some true island style.
The spa presents remedies, like espresso facials, that incorporate local elements. Rooms begin at a beneficiant 548 square ft at this 5-star hotel in Delhi’s diplomatic enclave. The rooftop infinity pool is cause enough to book — particularly on sweltering summer season days — with views that stretch for miles.

Elections Committee passes plan to collect political contributions with public resources
Republican legislators on Tuesday called out bills from House Democrats that would create carveouts to help prop up the financial and political power of union bosses.
The House Principle Caucus, consisting of state Reps. Timmy Beson, Andrew Fink, David Martin, Luke Meerman, and Mark Tisdel raised alarm about a package of bills as the House Elections Committee approved legislation to let unions use state and local governments to collect political contributions from public employees — part of a broader package that would also use state taxpayer dollars to reimburse union members for dues.
“Lansing Democrats are pushing policies designed to aid their political allies at the expense of the people of Michigan,” Fink said. “They’re looking to fund union bosses with taxpayer dollars and collect political contributions through government agencies. This self-serving legislation helps the Democrats’ most powerful supporters when our state government should be working to support Michiganders as they live, work, and raise their families.”
The lawmakers decried the radical proposals, which come after Democrats gave huge wins to their union allies earlier this year by repealing Michigan’s right-to-work law, which ensured workers were free to choose whether to join a union, and by reinstating prevailing wage requirements for state-funded construction, which will increase costs and open Michigan contractors to frivolous lawsuits and complaints.
“Already, Democratic politicians have taken choices away from hard-working Michiganders and enabled frivolous legal action against small businesses,” Tisdel said. “I hope Democrats will turn a corner and find ways to work across the aisle and pursue common-sense policies to help everyday Michigan residents — instead of letting Big Labor pig out on big perks.”
A majority of House Democrats introduced the package of bills in March, only a day after the House first voted to repeal right-to-work. House Bill 4234, sponsored by the chair of the House Elections Committee, would allow state and local governments to use taxpayer resources to collect political contributions for unions directly from government employees’ wages. The original bill would also have allowed unions to make unlimited independent expenditures in support of their favored candidates and skirt caps on direct contributions to candidates’ campaigns, although the version passed out of committee removed that change, at least for the present.
“Lansing Democrats are piggybacking off of their right-to-work repeal and are getting creative with how they can support their union friends,” Meerman said. “The bills that passed the Elections Committee are politically motivated and solely benefit union bosses and their allies. Policy like this does nothing to address the needs of Michigan families that are struggling to provide for their families in our inflationary economy.”
Another bill in the plan, currently before the Tax Policy Committee, would subsidize union dues with taxpayer funding. HB 4235 would create a fully refundable tax credit to reimburse people for union dues, meaning a union member would actually get a check from the state if union dues exceeded the person’s state income tax liability for the year. Unions contributed roughly $5.6 million to Michigan Democratic officials’ campaigns in the 2022 election cycle.
The Republican lawmakers formed the House Principle Caucus in 2022 to emphasize issues that will help all Michiganders freely work, raise their families, and practice their faith. The caucus draws attention to relevant legislation and works with other House Republicans to support beneficial proposals and oppose problematic ones.

State Rep. David Martin today welcomed Grand Blanc Police Officer John Graver to the state Capitol for a special ceremony.

State Rep. David Martin is concerned about an extreme proposal that would force Michigan electric companies to use entirely carbon-free power sources by 2035, prematurely closing natural gas plants and driving the cost of electricity through the roof.

YESTERDAY WE LEARNED details of the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia in 2013.
Today it’s clear that the man that leads them there could very well be Ian McGeechan.
Tour manager Andy Irvine has indicated that though Ireland coach Declan Kidney is in the running for the prestigious post, Geech is ‘in the frame’ too.
With Wales boss Warren Gatland and Scotland’s Andy Robinson also in the mix, Lions chiefs will make their decision in the spring.
“Ian McGeechan has not ruled himself out entirely,” Irvine told reporters (see the Mirror), ”He did indicate that 2009 would be his last tour, but he has said nothing definitive and he has to be an option.
“We have a completely open mind for the 2013 tour on who it (coach) will be. Whoever the coach is will be taking a year out. He does not have to come from the home unions and we could look worldwide, but ideally the head coach will come from a union associated with the Lions.
“It is such a highly-prized job that we will not be short of candidates. We would like Declan Kidney, Andy Robinson and Warren Gatland to all be available,” he added.
The first test has been scheduled for 22 June 2013 in Brisbane with the second test taking place in Melbourne a week later.
The third and final test will be played in Sydney on 6 July, marking the end of a four-week blitz which will see the touring side play a total of nine games in six cities.
McGeechan has been head coach on four Tours – plus one as a player – and is currently part of the set-up at Bath.

Tourism Minister Dr. Ernest Hilaire is optimistic that post-Covid19 ‘bright prospects’ are in store for St Lucia and the region, generally.
He recently spoke to Breaking Travel News about his ambitions in his newly appointed role and St. Lucia’s participation at Expo 2020; while also commenting on the destination’s capture of another award as the Caribbean’s Leading Honeymoon Destination at the World Travel Awards.
Dr. Hilaire asserted that first and foremost, the government is committed to promoting a ‘tourism industry that is sustainable’ and can withstand the various shocks, such as natural disasters or economic challenges.
The tourism minister says government is set on stimulating an ‘inclusive industry’ that stretches across board to involve people and entities at different economic levels.
“We have a tourism industry that is robust, that can recover quickly whenever there are any shocks. But, also important for us is to ensure that the industry offers many more opportunities to as many people as possible,” declared Dr. Hilaire.
“We do not see the tourism industry as being restricted to a few in terms of participation, ownership and enjoying the benefits of it,” he added.
“We want to introduce a tourism industry that offers authentic experiences to our visitors,” said Dr. Hilaire. “And for that to be successful it has to come from the people, itself.”
The tourism minister indicated that there are bright prospects ahead, in store for the industry. He disclosed: “You will find over the next few years, in St Lucia, a programme that seeks to introduce as much as possible authentic experiences of St Lucia.”
Citing that over the last 18 months it has been a challenging period for the tourism sector, globally, how has St Lucia and the Caribbean generally, managed to adapt to this situation?
“St Lucia has been doing very well with the recovery, since we re-opened in June and we’ve seen very encouraging numbers,” said Dr. Hilaire.
The tourism minister informed that “August, was our best month for arrivals from the United States” and there has also been increasing number of arrivals from the United Kingdom. And with the re-introduction of an Air Canada charter flight to the destination recently, the minister said, robust arrivals are expected from St Lucia’s 4th largest market.
“We are seeing a lot of things happening, the cruise ships are starting to come back and we are seeing an increase in ships. Our numbers for the winter season is quite exciting and we are looking to see a winter season not parallel with 2019, but surely, we will be up there,” Dr. Hilaire said.
He adds that there are also good prospects in store at the regional level, as “we are seeing a robust revival, and we are seeing in some of the islands some very high numbers that they had experienced before Covid …and surely they are returning to those levels.”
Dr. Hilaire is optimistic that the industry can bounce back ‘stronger than ever’, while referring to the ‘products on the ground’ and working with private sector partners to boost the economy.
“We are very aggressive now in ensuring that some of the products get off the ground … like our village tourism, which we are trying to introduce as quickly as possible,” he said. “We want that post-Covid, for St Lucia to be a better destination with a better product and surely we see a lot of investments coming over the next few months… in hotel plans, and in more hotel development.”
The tourism minister envisages that , “when Covid allows people to open up as much as possible that St Lucia will be so well placed …to offer a better product.”
With the St Lucia delegation representing a key segment of the promotional campaign in Dubai and with lots of money pumped into the event, what has been St Lucia’s offering at the pavilion display?
The St Lucian representatives at the display includes persons with knowledge of the CIP project, investment in St Lucia and the products that are produced locally.
“The pavilion is really a mini-St Lucia in many ways,” explained Dr. Hilaire. “When you enter the pavilion, you actually feel St Lucia…the setting, the décor, the look and feel tells you that you are in St Lucia. You will see manifestations and various presentations that will tell you about the essential personality of St Lucia. The sites that you will see, the products that are available and even the individuals that we have in the pavilion are persons from St Lucia.”
