KLANG — Feb. 25, 2019: Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad feels that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) needs time to investigate the allegation that PAS had received RM90 million from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) as the agency may not have obtained all the details yet.
“The MACC statement that there is so far no trace of RM90 million entering the official accounts of PAS from 1MDB may be because the MACC has yet to obtain the full details.… it (the investigation) will take time,” he said to reporters here today after the opening of the Metrod Holdings plant.
Mahathir further said the MACC is looking into more allegations against former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Yesterday, MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Shukri Avdull confirmed that its investigations since the beginning of the month had found no evidence of any transaction between PAS and 1MDB. — Bernama


Valparaiso University says the inaugural year for recyclable material collection during move-in weekend was an enormous success, noting in the news release that thanks to the efforts of Residential Life, mail services, and volunteers from Valpo’s fraternities and sororities, over 2,000 pounds of cardboard and 180 pounds of plastic film and foam were kept out of the environment.
The university also said the addition of over 1,000 recycling bins in resident halls has made a tremendous difference in the amount of waste generated on a daily basis. According to Tyler Kuss ’25, energy and sustainability intern, the addition of these bins has resulted in a significant increase in recycled material and a notable decrease in the amount of garbage generated.
“During the campus-wide waste audit conducted in the spring of 2022, we found that less than 5 percent of the waste produced in our residence halls was being recycled,” said Kuss. “ So far this school year, we have seen an increase in our recycling rate at these buildings to at least 40-50 percent.”
Student workers and volunteers from the Office of Sustainability will continue to make a difference at this year’s home football games as tailgaters will be given bags to dispose of all recyclable materials to be collected after the game, the university said.
In addition to this year’s efforts, the 2022 campus-wide waste audit was submitted to the national Waste to Zero Waste case study contest, where it was recognized as the first-place entry. To learn more about green initiatives at Valpo, click here .

Today’s journey requires a full day’s worth of effort to achieve a meager 28 nautical miles. We are up and out of the South Municipal Boat Basin in Portsmouth and headed south on the Elizabeth River at 7:30 AM.
Our first timed arrival of the day is a scheduled opening of the Gilmerton Bridge at 9:30 AM. We arrive early. Soon there are 15 pleasure boats jockeying for position to be the first vessel under the bridge when it opens. The wind and current are moving all of the boats towards the bridge which makes it next to impossible to hold one’s position in the River. We reposition Cutter Loose near the back of the pack to avoid the fray. When the bridgetender finally raises the bridge, there is little semblance of order in the processional queue. We steer Cutter Loose along the centerline of the channel because of her 62 foot mast height versus the 65 foot vertical clearance at the center of the bridge. Rather than proceeding under the bridge one vessel at a time, the armada of boats pass under the bridge three abreast.
Once under the Gilmerton Bridge, there are two alternative waterway routes. The first is the Virginia Cut which is preferred by commercial traffic and most pleasure boats. The second is the Dismal Swamp Canal, which is a slightly longer but more scenic route. We choose the latter.
Construction began on the Dismal Swamp Canal in 1793. The Canal was dug manually using slave labor. Today the Canal is a national historic landmark. Upon entering the Canal, the industrial character of the Elizabeth River becomes transformed into a narrow, pristine, tree-lined ditch about 40 feet in width and 9 feet in depth. The water in the Canal is pitch black.
Our second timed arrival of the day involves transiting the Deep Creek lock. Again, we arrive in the company of seven other vessels seeking to enter the lock at its 10:30 AM opening. The lock operator is very efficient in organizing the movement of vessels into and out of the lock. It is a two hour process to enter the lock, close the lock doors, raise the water level seven feet and exit the lock when the doors are open. Naturally, we are in the back of the pack, having underperformed in the battle of the bulge at the Gilmerton Bridge.
At 3 PM, we leave Virginia and enter North Carolina. The final timed arrival of the day is at the South Mills bridge and lock. The last opening of the day is scheduled for 3:30 PM. But our progress is slow…delayed by boats ahead of Cutter Loose in the Canal. By the time we arrive at South Mills, we have missed the final opening of the day. Cutter Loose is tied alongside the walls of the South Mills Bridge for the night, awaiting the 8:30 opening in the morning.

Stade Francais demand return of Haskell
Tuesday 02 March 2010
Stade Francais have demanded the Rugby Football Union release England flanker James Haskell to play in a French Top 14 match against Toulouse on Saturday.
The RFU have said they are under no obligation to release Haskell during England Elite Player Squad periods, a claim denied by the Paris club.
"Contrary to what the RFU are saying, no agreement has been signed with the RFU. The RFU must be mistaking with other French clubs like Toulon who have accepted such a clause about Jonny Wilkinson," Stade said today.
"For all these reasons, we are ordering James Haskell, who has already missed two training sessions, to return most urgently."
Haskell has started all three of England's Six Nations matches so far in this year's tournament.
The RFU has a binding agreement with all English clubs over player release but has had to negotiate individually with French clubs to try to ensure any English players joining them are available.
"We are aware of the request but he is not going back," an RFU spokesman said. "We reached an agreement with Stade Francais last summer and it is in James's contract that he is available during EPS periods, so we are under no obligation to release him."
With six games remaining, Stade Francais are seventh in the Top 14, just outside the top six teams that will qualify for the end of the season's playoffs. Toulouse are fourth.

In the use of ice cream equipment , especially the initial use of ice cream equipment, there often appear a problem that ice cream equipment frozen cylinder.
There are the reason for the ice cream equipment frozen cylinder:
1. The ice cream paste should not contain too much water. Too much water is easy to freeze. If it freezes, it will naturally cause ice cream equipment to freeze the cylinder. So please strictly according to the proportion of size.
2. There is a big difference in the amount of ice cream produced on both sides of the freezing cylinder and it is easy to appear frozen cylinder phenomenon. How to avoid it? if two flavors are the same, squeeze a few ice creams out of the less productive outlet and pour them into the more productive side of the storage tank. If it is a different taste, you need to try to keep the production balance when selling.
3 After cleaning the ice cream equipment, the water in the mixing tank is not put clean, this situation is also very easy to cause freezing phenomenon.
4. The storage cylinder has no slurry, but the ice cream equipment is still in refrigeration. At this time, it is very easy to freeze the cylinder. Please be sure to refill at any time.
5. Ice cream is not produced for a long time, and the ice cream equipment is constantly cooling which is also very easy to cause the phenomenon of freezing. How to avoid it? if no ice cream is produced for more than 30 minutes, please stop the ice cream equipment or produce some ice cream and pour it back into the corresponding storage tank.
Wuxi Danxiao Machinery Co., Ltd. has automatic ice cream production line. The perfect quality management system and warm and thoughtful after-sales service have made the company's products widely praised by customers all over the country and even abroad. Welcome to contact with us!

Review Summary: A beautiful debut by an underrated band
My intention here should be solely to convince you why That’s Your Fire is an amazing album. However I fear this effort will result in more of a plea, a plea for you to submit yourselves to Aloha (with some focus to these ten gorgeous songs).
I accidently stumbled upon the band a year ago after discovering they were signed to indie label Polyvinyl Records, home to Joan of Arc and Deerhoof. I introduced myself by listening to “Ferocious Love”, a wonderfully poetic, yet curious tune, containing lyrical gems such as ‘we could take a leap of faith on your bed/ and land as a pile of flesh.’ That was it. Utterly charmed, I devoured the rest of the album and discovered that That’s Your Fire is an unusual beauty; a bit of jazz, a bit experimental, very much indie but above all just dreamy, vibraphone laden tunes, blended with distant, post rock-esque drums, whilst Tony Cavallario feeds us wistful lyrics with his lulling vocals.
Even if the decor is not to your taste, one cannot deny that these are four technically gifted musicians. In the midst of a quiet melody, That’s Your Fire has the tendency to suddenly burst into an appeasing cacophony of musical complexity, particularly present in “Hundred Stories”. Even within the album’s more venturesome realms, there is still order. Within its fearlessness, we are not left behind. From start to finish the album is a pensive, chimerical yet absorbing piece of work, from the sedating “There There” to the bewildering “With the Lights Out, We Sing”.
For twelve years this album has existed without my knowledge. Aloha have succeeded in keeping themselves a special little secret. Indeed the band has a solid fan base due to their extensive touring and the fact that they have entered their fifteenth year as band. Despite this, online attention seems pretty scarce. At the time of writing, they have 1,290 likes on Facebook, 568 followers on Twitter and little Youtube Footage. Whilst I recognise that mass attention does not make its way to music like Aloha, for the amount of love I have for this album, I would have expected figures to be reasonably higher.
Therefore, out of my love for That’s Your Fire, I urge you to give Aloha a chance. Allow yourselves to become enticed by their unhinged grace and for their wonderful musical abilities to enter your world.

The purchase of five blocks of downtown Minneapolis property has been delayed.
The project did not close Friday as expected, according to a report in the Pioneer Press.
The purchase by developer Ryan Cos. would be for the planned $400 million mixed-use Downtown East development project that is intended to complement the new Vikings stadium being built on the site of the Metrodome.
The project includes more than 1 million square feet of office space, up to 400 residential units, retail space, a parking ramp and a public park.
The Pioneer Press reports the sale is waiting on the city of Minneapolis and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority to issue bonds that will pay for the property's development. Ryan's vice president of development, Rick Collins, said Friday that he expects the sale to be finalized within the next 30 days.
"It's a delay, but not entirely unexpected," Collins told the Pioneer Press. "They still need... to finalize that funding."
A number of details have been coming together quickly on the project. Earlier in the month, Wells Fargo committed to building two downtown office towers.
The city of Minneapolis has agreed to borrow up to $65 million to build a park and parking ramp that will be used by Wells Fargo employees, the public and stadium-goers. A judge also quickly dismissed a legal challenge that had been those opposed to the project.
Collins still expects ground to be broken in April and the first portion of the project is expected to open in late 2015, according to a Star Tribune report.

Launching in January, temporary art installations created by Rutgers students as part of the month-long "Windows of Understanding" project are displayed on storefronts and restaurant windows in New Brunswick.
The purpose of the art project is to transform public spaces into literal windows of understanding, according to its . The artwork is meant to teach the New Brunswick community about the social impact of local organizations in the city, which does not always generate headlines on the news. This is the second year the project has run, with more than 30 social justice organizations participating.
Each organization is paired with an artist, many of them from Mason Gross School of the Arts, said Amee Pollack, the administrative liaison for the undergraduate program in the Department of Art and Design, as well as one of the artists featured in the project. The artist is then given a specific site to create their own piece of art answering the question of how their designated organization “sees through hate.”
Pollack was paired with The Brady Campaign, an organization that aims to reduce gun violence in the country. She said her piece, titled “Behold … The Courthouse” and located in front of the restaurant Costa Chica, is both a memorial to the victims of gun violence and also a rallying cry for reform.
The courthouse imagery serves as a symbol for the way The Brady Campaign takes action, she said. Her piece also contains the most common names of people killed by gun violence on stones.
“The hope is that each viewer thinks about how many Daniel's, Nicole's and so forth they have known in their lifetime, in their community,” she said.
Another artist who participated in the "Windows of Understanding" project was Ryan Woodring, a graduate student in the Master of Fine Arts program at Mason Gross School of the Arts. When he received the open call for artists, he said he thought it would be a way to be a part of the broader New Brunswick community.
Woodring was paired with the Collaborative Center for Community Based Research and Service, a center which helps to match Rutgers students with various service opportunities in New Brunswick. He drew inspiration for his piece from a Google Maps virtual reality session, where he said the first place he decided to visit was his hometown.
At first, he wondered why he immediately chose to see his hometown, when he could have gone anywhere in the world. He then realized that people rarely looked at their home from a bird's-eye view, so it was a way for them to see something familiar from a different perspective.
“When you have the whole world mapped out virtually in front of you, you are still interested in going back to the place you spent most of your time,” he said.
This concept was illustrated in his piece, a digital artwork that showed the entire city of New Brunswick on a table with humanesque figures surrounding it. Woodring wanted to incorporate the idea of a college town, where there was a constant flow of people moving in and out, but also residents who lived in the city permanently.
He said while the piece, which is located in the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research, does not reveal itself at once, he hopes those that walking past it on a daily basis have the same experience and realization he had when he first looked through the virtual reality goggles.
Another graduate school student in Mason Gross School of the Arts whose artwork is featured is William Robinson, who partnered with the organization PhotoVoice, which is connected to various schools in the New Brunswick school system.
Robinson said it was while he was walking past The Daily Targum’s office when an idea spurred for the piece he would create. Using the design of a front page newspaper, specifically the format of The New York Times, he organized a collage of content and photographs created by New Brunswick students.
At first glance, a passerby might think it was a normal newspaper, but Robinson said it was intended to send the message of positivity, especially with the media being regarded as a bearer of negative news.
“I thought it would be interesting to change the narrative on the newspaper and interject it with positive content,” he said.
Martina Hanna, a Mason Gross School of the Arts senior, also made a piece for the project. Before being paired with Elijah’s Promise, a soup kitchen in the city, she said she had never thought about the issues of food scarcity and hunger.
Influenced by Rutgers Gardens, Hanna decided her piece would focus on "Jersey-fresh” fruits and vegetables. Using a method called screen printing, she painted different foods and cut them out, later collaging them on a 7-foot tarp.
Her artwork, located on the storefront window of the restaurant Harvest Moon, was meant to not only celebrate the fact that there were organizations like Elijah’s Promise to help the community, but also highlight its influence beyond serving food.
“It’s not just about a food kitchen, not just about the food. It’s about the community. They’ll take you in when it’s cold out, if you need help with immigration services or need health attention,” she said.
For her, "Windows of Understanding" was also a way to make art accessible to those without the means to go to a gallery or museum. She wanted to be a part of the project to help people be more exposed to art in their community, she said.
“The main goal is to help everyone feel included and heard,” Hanna said.
All of the art pieces associated with the program will continue to be displayed until Feb. 28.

Abruzzo, with its green hills, lush meadows, fertile valleys and sandy shores, is home to a multitude of architecturally interesting buildings: farmhouses, farms, refuges, often abandoned and in ruins.
Masterpieces of great cultural value from a bygone era are revived through painstaking renovation, to become liveable once again within their original natural setting, worthy of investment.
Investment has been great in the renovation of these ancient dwellings, usually of peasant farmers and shepherds. They represent a fascinating adventure through the recovery and revival of houses whose walls speak of past times and whose roots sink into our most genuine experience.
Buildings, therefore, that deserve all the respect that is due to “elderly gentlemen” and that is why it is good to reuse the original materials in their renovation, which also represents a certain saving in the general expenditure, whilst respecting the environment in which the farmhouses are immersed, making them an integral part of it.
A beautiful farmhouse or a simple farmhouse, restored harmoniously through the so-called conservation restoration that preserves the original aesthetic aspect of the property, is the best business card for starting a country activity or maybe just enjoying the tranquillity and the beauty of one of the many wonderful views of nature that our Abruzzo still offers us.
This is the spirit with which our company faces renovations and maintenance work, without however giving up on the customization of the work, completing and updating in accordance with market demands.
By way of example, Bumo Villa is a beautiful property, located in one of the best places in Abruzzo where nature is still uncontaminated, boasting fabulous panoramic views that can be appreciated when visited.
It was designed by a famous Dutch architect and inspired by Japanese Imperial palaces and developed by a team of Venezuelan and Italian idealists from Abruzzo.
Access is gained via a private road, which runs directly to the villa, its backyard bordering on the Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga, encapsulating extreme privacy. From all angles inside the house, the beautiful surroundings can be appreciated thanks to its 55 windows. The only way to experience the uniqueness of this property is to come and see it.
The structure has been designed to offer complete relaxation within different environments, which change in every corner of the property. In short, it can be enjoyed to the full in different scenarios: amongst family, during parties and holidays, etc.
The major attention has been dedicated to the structure and the finishing of the structure with the use of high quality materials, with special energy efficiency qualities. The level of attention to detail applied to the construction of this property is hard to find nowadays and it is this that renders it unique.
The property nears completion and its interior will be left unfinished, so that its new owner has the opportunity to finish it as he or she pleases, putting his or her own stamp on the finished product through personal choice of materials, such as heating and electrics, tiles, tiling, sanitary ware, doors etc.
Please contact us at www.propertymanagementabruzzo.com for more details. Thank you.

At Integrated Packaging we aim to make our films as user friendly as possible. We’ve even specifically developed Excell and Maxi lightweight, high performance film with significant OH&S benefits. However one of the most benefical ways to improve efficiency, safety and the effectiveness of your film is to make sure you’re wrapping correctly.
Below are a few helpful hints.
Wrapping the Load:
1. Attach the film to the load or pallet. If possible, slot the film between the product layers, this eliminates additional bending.
2. Ensure the film is applied with the tack against the load. Most films have the tack on the outside layer.
3. Wrap the load to the pallet
- The amount of bottom layers required is determined by the type of load you are securing and the method of transport and handling.
- Two layers is the recommended minimum with the appropriate film.
- Apply the film as low as possible onto the pallet. Achieve this by swinging the bottom of the film roll out and down after the film is stretched, step around the corner.
- In some instances wrapping the load to the pallet is not required i.e. when slip sheeting, pallet inverting etc.
4. Start wrapping up the pallet after applying the bottom layers, ensure you apply the appropriate film overlap to the load.
5. Maintain the correct overlap and continue wrapping up the load until the top edge of the film is 50mm above the load.
6. Apply the recommended amount of top wraps before wrapping back to the bottom of the pallet. Some products may only require wrapping to the top.
7. Cut the film 300mm past the corner, then tuck or wipe the film onto itself.
Helpful Wrapping Hints:
- Hold your arms as straight as possible; this will reduce fatigue as you are using your momentum and weight to stretch the film.
- Do not use your arms to apply the film on the corners; simply take a sideways step around the corner.
- Using Excell or Maxi pre stretched film walk forward not backwards to prevent a tripping accident.
- Release the tension once the film is around the corner of the load. Let the film unwind freely until you reach your next stretching point.
- Bending over is inevitable when wrapping the load to the pallet. However there are a few things you can do to reduce bending your back:
- Try to straighten your back slightly as you are wrapping along the side of the load, only bending further down on the corners.
- If possible place an additional pallet under the load, this will minimise how far you need to bend over.
- Using a Metal Applicator will also reduce the distance you need to bend over

I’ve always conceived of and pitched KP as an academic and professional outlet … but woman does not live by economics alone! I have opined before here about why I knit, but I haven’t explicitly “knitblogged”. Seeing as this is a pretty low-key pre-Christmas week, why not?
Here’s my most recent finished object, a scarf to go with my winter dress coat:
I used Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Aran in a dark charcoal. The pattern is “Mom’s sophisticated scarf” from the new Stitch ‘n Bitch Nation book by Deb Stoller. This is some absolutely amazing yarn; soft and springy in texture, yet warm and cuddly without much weight. It costs an arm and a leg, though.
I made the mistake last October of falling in love with a cranberry red Burberry long wool coat with a signature Burberry plaid in black and charcoal. I bought it without any regard for hat or scarf accompaniment, then “borrowed” the KP Spouse’s black scarf all of last winter because I couldn’t get excited about knitting something in black. All of my scarf and hat yarns in my stash are in shades of “Lynne blue”, which is a slate-y, steely Wedgwood-y blue with a tinge of gray. Doesn’t go so well with a red and black coat. But now it’s time to have a scarf that the coat deserves.
The hat to accompany it will be a bottom-up felted bucket hat from fellow Chicagoan Bonne Marie Burns’ ChicKnits, in black Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride. I am about halfway done with the hat, and will soon get to have a felting adventure!
You may also notice a handmade sweater in the picture: an aran sweater made out of Rowanspun Aran in “Lynne blue” that I made two years ago from a Rebecca pattern (and of course I’m too disorganized to be able to find the pattern online now).
I’ve also added a couple of knit-related links to the page, including a link to passionknit, the knitblog of two fellow Chicagoans and recent former colleagues of the KP Spouse. It’s a small world …
OK, back to knitting!

Born in 1980, Michael Elkins (aka lilrut) is a longtime escapist who fell in love with games when, at age six, his neighbor introduced him to the Atari 2600. Weened on Pacman, Missle Command, Frogger, and Pitfall, by 1990 he had moved on to the Nintendo Entertainment System, falling into an endless “minus world” from which he would never return.
Raising kids of his own now, he takes pleasure in his boys and their ability to correctly name every character in a Mario game while still lacking the ability to recite their street address, mother’s maiden name, or phone number.
Because he also fell in love with poverty at an early age, lilrut thought it would be a good idea to couple his devotion to video games with an education in writing and the English language (not to be confused with Java, C++, PHP, or any other relevant codes of our time). Living a month behind on his mortgage and annually under the guillotine at work, lilrut persists in both the digital and physical realms, dutifully biting his betters in gadfly fashion.
When he’s not busy winning, losing, or drawing, Michael can be found engaged in language games at the University of California, Merced, where he has been deemed a slightly annoying and partially (or potentially) beneficial eyesore.

Extra resources for Cyborg Theatre: Corporeal/Technological Intersections in Multimedia Performance
Embodiment appears widely in descriptions of body-based art and performance, often in hopeful counterbalance and corrective to the universal (male) “liberal humanist subject,” and an embodied post-humanism is perhaps well served through theatre’s grounding in both incorporation and inscription to uncover the “experiential” Hayles describes. The cyborg of this project takes up a version of the post-human that recognizes both the possibilities and the problems of technological incorporation – we are not yet “jacking in” and leaving our bodies behind.
In an historic sense, emerging technologies – whether conveyer belts or reproductive technologies, video chat programs or burgeoning virtual reality forms – are often rehearsed through narratives of corporeal representation. In the examples I have cited thus far, as well as in many later twentieth-century representations of the cyborg, these rehearsals have frequently been staged at moments of eruption in feminist history. The cyborg form appears during times in need of balance, times of chaos and confusion, and so, perhaps coincidentally, concurrent with waves of feminism, yet it also appears as a means of addressing disappearing, augmented, or controlled bodies in society.

Special to The Herald
NEW BRITAIN - New Britain musician Kendall Swan is excited about the recent release of his new album, “Soda Pop”, which can be found on Swan’s website, www.kendallswanmusic.com .
Swan incorporates elements such as effect pedals to complexify guitar riffs and beatboxing between vocals to add texture to songs. He singled out a particular effect that sounds like knocking on a “wooden plank in my dad’s basement.”
The beatboxing component of Swan’s music has not always been a part of the young artist’s recordings.
his exercise in vocal mimicry of drums and drum machines has only been in the 24-year-old’s music vocabulary since his days in high school.
In addition to his original music, he has done a fair number of covers of other musicians’ songs. Some of those titles include “Trailer Trash” by Modest Mouse, and the indie rock band Front Bottoms’ hit, “Flashlight.”
Swan states that the music that influences him most derives from “subgenres of rock,” ranging from artists like David Rawlings to singer/songwriter Gillian Welch. Both of those artists often collaborate on projects and in concert.
“Soda Pop” was released at the end of June. The album includes 10 songs, which Swan says are “all my own.”
When asked of his instrument of choice, Swan says, “Guitar is my primary instrument, but I play keyboard, piano, drums, and bass guitar.” He also says he has recorded a track featuring the banjo.
Swan is booking concert dates and trying to get a tour going. He has also been spending time recording songs for his next album.
When asked about where all this passion for music stems from, Swan recalled a story from his youth.
“My parents bought a keyboard when I was eight, and I’ve stuck with it since,” Swan said.
To get a better sense of the music Swan plays, check out his website.
Listeners also have the option of hearing tunes on his Bandcamp profile.
Additionally, his work can be found on YouTube.

Career Patterns in Administrations
- Sylvia VeitSylvia VeitUniversity of Kassel - Department of Economics
Administrative careers are careers of civil servants, who are the individuals working in public administration institutions at different levels (central, state or regional, local) of government. Characteristics of a country’s civil service system determine what administrative career patterns typically look like. In the literature, two ideal-types of civil service systems are distinguished: the career-based system and the position-based system. In countries with a position-based civil service system, administrative careers usually are more diverse than in countries with a career-based civil service system. In most countries, however, intersectoral career mobility of civil servants is rather low. In democratic systems, recruitment and promotion in the civil service is formally based on merit and (with decreasing significance) seniority, while in practice political criteria and representativeness can be important selection criteria, especially for promotion to senior-level positions. As a consequence of their influential role in policy-making in many countries, research on careers in public administrations is mainly focusing on top-level positions: by analyzing the career background of top officials, public administration scholarship aims to understand the determinants of career success in public administrations as well as processes of administrative elite (re-)production and politicization. Findings from empirical studies suggest that political criteria do not crowd out meritocratic criteria in recruitment in most established democracies but that politicization can have severe negative impacts on administrative outcomes in young democracies and developing countries. Comparative empirical studies on administrative careers based on common datasets are largely lacking so far. More systematic comparative studies (across countries and over time) on administrative careers would not only make it possible to understand how larger systemic developments (e.g., administrative reform movements, democratic backsliding) affect mechanisms of recruitment and promotion in the civil service, but also help to better understand the inner mechanisms in bureaucratic organizations (e.g., by identifying organizational patterns of inequality).

For 5 days: 24-28 June, we were meeting in a charming interior of Pojnarówka Art and Café to talk about chosen aspects of bioeconomy: the issues related to the food production and consumption.
During the event on the first day, we talked about food wasting. Wasted food has a huge impact for environmental, social and economic areas.
Considering that around 1/3 of food is wasted globally, the problem is not only the issue of efficiency in production, transport and food processing, but above all a significant external effect in the environment. One thrown away cheese sandwich equals 100 liters of wasted water, 1 kg of potatoes that have been forgotten rotten in the basement equals 300 liters of wasted water, one kilo of beef not used in a restaurant equals 6,000 liters of wasted water.
In Poland, per person, an average of 250 kg of wasted food per year. This is not a good result, where the European average is 179 kg. For comparison, in African countries, it is only 10 kg. In a country with almost 38 billion citizens, these figures translate into an astronomical volume of 9 billion tons of wasted food. This is the equivalent of 22.77 million tons of CO2, and that is just around the same amount, that all the cars are emitting during one year!
It is also 1.72 billion 3 wasted water – imagine that every day, every Pole pours into the sewage 100 1.5 bottles of water!
This situation requires the implementation of an innovative approach to the management of food production and consumption, but also changes in the mentality of consumers who are wasting food for prosaic reasons: missing the expiration date, improper storage, poor food quality purchase and for large purchases and large portions of food.

The lender launched the BTL product – which is only available via intermediaries – in late November.
LendInvest believes that assembling a panel of this size in just 10 weeks demonstrates the appetite brokers have to get behind the product.
“It has been very gratifying to sign up so many broker and other intermediary partners in the few weeks since we launched our first BTL loans,” said Ian Boden, sales director at LendInvest (pictured above).
“We are hugely appreciative of their support at such an early stage.
“It has really allowed us to hit the ground running with the new product, confident that there is strong market demand for the sorts of loans we are offering.”
LendInvest’s BTL loans are available for amounts between £50,000 and £5m on terms of up to 30 years.
- LendInvest launches BTL offering
- A guide to buy-to-let in 2018
- Precise to launch income supported BTL
A maximum LTV of 80% applies.
Designed for professional individuals and limited companies, LendInvest has processed several hundred signed BTL applications and completed a number of its first cases.
James Hardwick of Charleston Financial said LendInvest had the best online calculator in the market.
“It’s really helping brokers to do a quick quotation of affordability, before progressing an application through the excellent online broker portal.”
Meanwhile, Doug Hall of 3mc welcomed the new entrant to the market.
“It is both welcome and refreshing that a new entrant can come to market demonstrating a commerciality of underwriting approach.”
LendInvest added that the product was proving popular at a national level, with demand particularly high in regions such as the West Midlands, northern England and the South West.
Ian concluded: “As the panel beds down and traction grows, we expect demand for LendInvest BTL loans to increase significantly through the year.”

Gorguts have brand new music in the works! Better yet, it’s nearly complete. Currently, the band appears to be cooking a single track release – with a very long track. This was unveiled through an interview with Metal Injection.
“Colin Marston and Kevin Hufnagel, when they come over for gigs, we like to spend more days working on material. The new record, besides lyrics, everything is written. The music is finished. Let’s say 98 percent. We’re into the minor detail phase, which we stop every two seconds and go ‘minor detail, what about this and this.’ The new record is going to be a single track. One long song. I’ve been wanting to do that for a long, long time. After hearing Porcupine Tree’s “The Incident”, Meshuggah’s “I”, the Deathspell Omega EPs, I said I really wanted to get into this compositional exercise to get one big movement. And I think it’s pretty good. I can’t wait to share it with the crowd and that’s going to be a lot of fun to play live.”


Bill would provide list of meth lab locations
The bill would put meth lab information out into the open.
By MICHELE C. HLADIK
COLUMBUS -- Methamphetamine labs can remain toxic for years after they are used, and new home buyers and others should be given easier access to this information before a purchase is made, says state Rep. Stephen Dyer.
The Democrat from Green recently introduced legislation that would require law enforcement officials to report to the Ohio Department of Public Safety any time a methamphetamine lab is raided. The legislation would require the department to publish a list of homes, hotels, rental property, vehicles and more that have housed the labs.
Dyer said the only way to have a property or vehicle identification number removed from the list would be to have it cleaned to Ohio Environmental Protection Agency standards. He admitted those standards would need to be developed by the OEPA if the bill becomes law.
"It's mainly to protect innocent purchasers of homes from moving into toxic dumps," Dyer said. "That's what these places are."
Here's the problem
He said 1 pound of methamphetamine creates 5 pounds of toxic substances, and these toxins can last for many years. "That can leave long-term hazardous effects," Dyer said.
The information is already available to consumers, but it's difficult to find, according to Dyer. He said the bill consolidates the information and makes it easier to find.
Dyer said he expected opposition from the hotel and rental property industry to the bill, but so far, many have been supportive.
"They've been receptive to the idea," he said. "I think they realize this is just a consolidation of public record."
Dyer said he first learned of this issue while working as a reporter in Summit County. He said while working on a story, he learned of a homeowner who had to spend 30,000 cleaning up a 200,000 home which had once been used as a lab.
He said he wasn't sure which committee will hear the bill, which is his first as a primary sponsor.

Movie review: ‘Adore’ liaisons are less dangerous than they could be
“Adore” is a twisted sexual drama about misguided affections between older women and younger men, which wouldn’t be all that outrageous if not for the dicey details, so let’s get right to it.
Naomi Watts and Robin Wright, two of Hollywood’s most beautiful and most accomplished women, play mothers who sleep with each other’s sons.
The sons are of age, with college on the horizon. The boys, not the mothers, are the seducers. It’s all very civilized, but still ... They really are still boys. And the affairs begin at a time in life when the kind of men they will become is still in flux.
In a country hyper-sensitive to sexual relations in virtually any form, “Adore” is built on a kind of line-crossing that doesn’t rest so easily. Which is to say, it’s a challenging film, but maybe not as challenging as it should be.
Everywhere the camera turns — even the painful parts — is gorgeous, gauzy, idyllic, as if the images, like the lovers, are in denial too.
Perhaps the film, based on Doris Lessing’s novella, “The Grandmothers,” about two best friends in Britain, may play differently in Europe where attitudes are looser, less puritanical.
Certainly “Adore’s” slighter, warmer title suits its stars and its handling of the subject better. And its director. Anne Fontaine usually applies a light touch to tawdry tales. “Dangerous Liaisons’” screenwriter Christopher Hampton, who collaborated with the writer-director on 2009’s “Coco Before Chanel,” worked with her to adapt the complex sexual alliances Lessing toys with.
There is a sort of natural progression at work in “Adore,” an explanation for why and how the entanglements happen.
Lil and Roz, Watts and Wright respectively, have grown up together, married and live in houses only a stone’s throw apart. They each have a son, Ian and Tom, who have become best friends too.
The families do everything together, and are blended so completely it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. It’s true when Lil’s son Ian (Xavier Samuel) says that Roz is like a second mother. Until one night ...
In the heat of that night, Ian grabs Roz in a passionate embrace that soon leads to wild abandon. The shock of the scene, caught in a glimpse, drives her son Tom (James Frecheville) next door and into Lil’s arms. The complications and complicity of what follows are where the movie spends most of its time.
The film opens years earlier with Lil and Roz as young girls swimming madly toward a wooden float anchored off shore, a place where secrets are shared. The girls are barely dry before they are young mothers with husbands and sons. A funeral quickly removes Lil’s spouse; a top university job in Sydney, Australia, will soon dispense with Roz’s. Harold (Ben Mendelsohn) fears that Roz and Tom won’t join him, setting the stage for moral dilemmas to come.
The ocean and the float are images the film returns to many times. Water is for transitions. The boys hit the waves with their surfboards and return full-grown. The float is where we discover the current state of affairs. Who is lying next to whom will tell us a lot.
There is a bit of resistance at the beginning, when Ian makes that first move. Doubts do flash across Roz’s face. But a weird everydayness sets in. Roz and Ian, Lil and Tom, always together. Dinners shared, life looks virtually the same through the lens of director of photography Christophe Beaucarne, one of Europe’s rising stars, who also shot “Coco” for Fontaine.
The women do become grandmothers and this is when the film’s story feels most real. The pain of the breakups is almost unbearable, giving their lovers over to other women a sacrifice made for the sake of their sons, for “family” harmony.
And yet, setting the premise aside for a moment, it is far easier to buy Wright and Watts as younger women moving into middle-age. Grandmother territory is a stretch, especially since both wear the bikinis they spend much of the movie in so well.
Falls from grace fueled by sexual urges are Fontaine’s sweet spot. But like the French director’s 2003’s “Natalie,” more typically high-end prostitutes are pushing the buttons, not refined mums. The very casualness about the specific sexual slide in “Adore” weakens the film. The choices come with a cost, but they weather it too easily.
There are no echoes of Watt’s fiercely protective mother in “The Impossible,” which earned the actress her second Oscar nomination earlier this year. Her quandaries are wrapped up in sexual need and her childhood friendship rather than any damage to the boys. But Wright holds something back even as Roz gives in, and in doing so saves her character and nearly rescues the film.
The actress only grows more brilliant with time, her current run as a savvy political wife on the Netflix series “House of Cards” is stunning. As such, it would be easy for her to overshadow the film, but Wright is a generous actress and Samuel, in particular, is a standout opposite her. He’s made Ian so sensual, so insistent and yet so wounded by his father’s death and his all-consuming love for Roz, that you can almost understand, if not forgive, all that “Adore” lays bare.

…. Romney, Santorum and Gingrich have consistently been at their most dangerous when discussing the Middle East, combining a simplistic bellicosity toward the Islamic world with a reflexive agreement with the Israeli right….
….. On Sunday, in his speech to Aipac, Mr. Obama made clear that he will not accept a nuclear-armed Iran, and is prepared to use military force to prevent it if necessary. But he said he prefers the route of diplomacy, and regrets the “loose talk of war”…
….Mr. Santorum bizarrely suggested recently that the Obama administration is helping Iran develop a weapon by leaking Israel’s plans for an attack … The administration would rather let Iran go nuclear than give up its oil, he charged.
That’s too ridiculous to even bother refuting, but it’s hardly out of line with a Republican field that has responded to the globe’s most serious issues with precarious posturing.

The annual tax return (for income, value added and corporation tax as well as declaration of revenue by business partnerships or associations – assessment return) must be submitted, with enclosures, to the tax office (→ BMF)German text (section 134 Bundesabgabenordnung) by 30 April of the following year.
In general, these rules also apply to entrepreneurs from EU Member States in Austria.
If annual tax returns are submitted electronically via FinanzOnline, the deadline is extended to 30 June of the following year. These deadlines may be extended upon reasoned request to the tax office. Such a request for a deadline extension can also be submitted electronically via FinanzOnline (Other services/Deadline extension). You may also qualify for a longer deadline if you are represented by a "tax representative".
Traders registered on the USP are able to make use of FinanzOnline and many other online procedures with a single sign-on to the USP. More detailed information about registering with the USP can be obtained from the online advisor for USP registrationGerman text.
Tax returns must generally be submitted online, unless this is infeasible due to a lack of the necessary technology (no internet connection). Only then may official forms be used. Additionally, those taxable parties who submit their tax returns themselves may file their tax returns in paper form if their previous year’s turnover does not exceed 35,000 Euro.
In the event of a tax return being submitted late, a late surcharge may be applied of up to 10 per cent of the prescribed tax amount, if the delay is not justifiable (§ 135 BAO).

WINSTON-SALEM N.C. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will try to allay health concerns about its signature product by publicizing the calorie content of its best-selling doughnut, adding a reduced-calorie whole-wheat version and eliminating trans-fat from all varieties, the 395-unit chain’s franchisor reportedly told shareholders at its annual meeting here on Wednesday.
Officials of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. also said the chain will try to boost its coffee sales by bundling the beverage with doughnuts in reduced-price combos, according to reporters who attended. They cited indications from chief executive Daryl Brewster that coffee currently generates only 15 percent of a typical unit’s sales, far below the average for other baked-goods specialists.
Executives explained to the 300 or so shareholders in attendance that consumers have some misconceptions about the brand and its menu. For instance, they reportedly said, the concept’s Original Glazed contains only 200 calories, or far fewer than fans might think. They indicated that the chain will tout that fact moving forward.
Brewster also disclosed the chain’s plans to add a 180-calorie whole-wheat doughnut. Krispy asserted some time ago that it was hurt by the low-carbohydrate diets that were prevalent then. Most of those eating plans permit whole-wheat pasta and breads. Whole-grain baked goods have also been touted by health authorities as being preferable to conventional items.
Brewster, who took the helm of the company in March, said Krispy has made progress in righting the after-effects of an accounting scandal and a sales free-fall that resulted in combined losses of $350 million for the concern’s last three fiscal years. But it has already shifted from “survival mode to stability," he was quoted as saying in The News & Observer, the daily newspaper of Charlotte, N.C. The company is still being investigated by the Securities & Exchange Comission.

Datsun is looking to improve its portfolio in India. One way to do it is by expanding its model range and the carmaker recently launched the redi-GO, which will compete in the entry-level hatchback segment.
The next in line related to the redi-GO that Datsun have is the GO-Cross, which was showcased during the 2016 Auto Expo. Now, according to a few industry sources, the GO-Cross could be launched in India by 2019.
According to a few other sources though, there are chance for Datsun to launch the crossover earlier than expected. Datsun could launch the vehicle in 2017 itself, but the company is looking at possibilities and nothing is 100 percent confirmed.
One key reason why Datsun is looking forward to launch the GO-Cross by 2017 is because of the huge response the company got from customers during the Auto Expo.
In regards to the engine that will power the GO-Cross, the vehicle may borrow the power unit that does its duty on the Nissan Terrano and the renault Duster. So will the launch be in 2017 itself, or during 2019? Now that's something we will have to wait and watch.


Israel Aeronautics Industries and Gulfstream Aerospace, a subsidiary of the U.S. corporation General Dynamics, rolled out the new super mid-sized G250 business jet at Ben-Gurion International Airport yesterday. The plane will sell for $24 million to $28 million, depending on the choice of internal accessories.
The inaugural ceremony for the new model drew representatives of Gulfstream and Israel Aeronautics Industries management, top state officials, members of the business community, aviation authorities reps and those of U.S. subcontractors.
The two companies had announced their collaboration on development of the G250 at the annual conference of business jet manufacturers in October of 2008. But the global financial crisis hit the jet industry shortly thereafter, and sales plummeted. By November, IAI had announced that the number of business jets to be manufactured in 2009 would be cut from 36 to 18, and in March of this year, IAI announced that 200 employees would be laid off as part of reduced operations.
However, manufacturing continued despite floundering demand. IAI chairman Yair Shamir said the companies wanted to continue developing the aircraft. "We believe this will give us a big advantage over competitors who suspended development because of the crisis. The advantage will be not just in the quality of the craft, but also because we will be the first in the market when the market is ready."
Shamir said the craft provides employment for more than 1,000 workers in Israel, 750 at IAI and another 300 with subcontractors. The plane will go on sale in 2011.

International financial law is a conceptually complex subject, with many transactions affected by the law of more than one country. This book provides a clear guide to the principles underlying common law financial transactions and the rules applied to them which have developed from a number of different practice areas. An understanding of these principles is necessary for lawyers to predict the reasoning the courts will apply in the case of disputes. It is also critical for those who are developing new financial products or security structures. The book will cover a number of separate topics, which fall into two categories, firstly concepts that underpin areas of legal rules, for example the legal character of an obligation to pay money, or the nature of a fiduciary duty, and secondly explanation of the evolution of particular legal structures, where an understanding of the structure is crucial to the practical task of using it such as the development of the legal structure of tradable bonds.

I go through food phases for some reason. One month I crave Southern Food, another month I crave French Food, this month I seem to be craving Jewish Food. I used to have good to bad jewish food when I was a kid depending on who made it. Most jewish food is fairly simple peasant style food but it's amazing how many people make it badly.
This week I attempted to make Chopped Liver and Brisket with current 2012 cooking techniques and trends. One was successful and one not so much.
My first attempt was the Chopped Liver. When I was a kid my mother would make it about once a year if that. Sometimes it was good...sometimes not so much. My dad would buy it at jewish deli stores when he wanted to have some. Also sometimes good ...sometimes average. I think I may have made it once in my life with my mom around but pretty much on my own. This time I made it on my own with my food network knowledge into improving it slightly. If it's not broke don't fix it but if it could use a boost...boost away.
I picked up a kosher package of chicken livers from No Frills, I would classify this as peasant food for sure since the package cost just about $2.00 so I would say this is a great thing to make for a group of people if you are on a budget.
I began by dredging the chicken livers in flour and setting aside for the flour to soak into the chicken livers.
I chopped 3 medium onions into rings and sauteed them in oil and salt and pepper until they were caramelized.
I took the onions out of the pan and then tossed in the chicken livers cooking them on medium until they were fully cooked. I added a good pinch of paprika and cayenne pepper to give it a slight kick of flavour and added salt and pepper to season.
Once the livers were cooked I added the onions back to the pan and a nob of butter and then added about a 1/4 cup of Brandy and let the alcohol cook down until the juices reduced.
I cooked 3 hard boiled eggs at the same time and peeled them.
I then put the chicken liver mixture into a food processor with the hard boiled eggs and on the chop function processed until smooth but still a little chunky. I toasted some slices of baguette to eat with the Chopped Liver. I also added a dash of olive oil on top of the chopped liver. Here's what it looked like:
This one was successful.
The Brisket not as much.
With the Brisket I started with searing the brisket in a pan and then setting it aside in a dutch oven.
I then added sliced onions, carrots, garlic, shallots, celery, parsnips, a bay leaf, tomato paste and salt and pepper into the pan to cook until tender. I then added about 2 cups of water and added the whole mixture into the dutch oven with the meat and then added Pomegranate syrup. That was one of the big mistakes. I added too much... as it reduces the sugar content increases so it's tough to judge how the end result will be. So I would recommend only adding about 2 tablespoons of pomegranate syrup just to add sweetness. I also added some worsteshire sauce and some soya sauce for color. I didn't have any beef stock but if I did I would have added that. You could also add some red wine but I didn't this time.
I then put it into the oven and cooked it for a few hours. A little too long.. I wanted to break down the meat to make it tender but it just dried it out a bit. It probably would have been better if I had put the whole thing in a crockpot and let it go slowly while checking it along the way for tenderness.
So those are my tips if you try and attempt to make this. It tasted ok but this one falls into it still needs tweaking area.
So why am I craving these Jewish Foods? I am not sure exactly but maybe it's because I don't have the relatives alive that used to make these things at family dinners. These are things I didn't grow up making. I would make things like Italian food or mexican foods.. things that my mother didn't make or didn't make well. My mother never mastered spaghetti so I had to learn how to do it right if I wanted to be able to eat it.
I guess I learned how to cook by trying to improve on whatever my mother couldn't master. If she mastered it I didn't attempt to make it. Every now and then now I miss some of those foods and have been trying to re create some of them. I will master my own recipes eventually.
Jewish Food 2.0 in 2012.

In a beautiful and well-attended ceremony, the 2023 Cap Cana White Marlin Tournament kicked off this Thursday evening with 39 boats and more than 150 fishermen from six countries.
Silvano Suazo, Director of Cap Cana Marina, commended in a special way the support provided by yacht clubs from Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Brazil, Australia and South Africa and the host team from the Dominican Republic.
“There are people from near and far who have come to this 2023 edition. A huge thank you to all of them and to our sponsors. Good luck fishing and enjoying the amenities that Destination City has to offer.” I wish you the best of luck,” stressed Suazo during the welcome.RELATED
He added that he hopes to surpass the 83 hooks released last year and hopes to reach a figure of more than 100 species of marlin that can be returned to habitat by expert fishermen in two days.
Black Gold and Seaguapa Boat
Shortly after noon this Friday, it was reported that more than 30 needles were officially released, although official figures for the end of the day were pending. Registered in the Pro category, the Black Gold boat scored 900 points on rods by Mike McCarthy and Jose Gomez. Similarly, Seaguapa’s boat had him releasing three marlins, while he only had two white marlins. The third marlin released was a blue marlin. Alberto Rodriguez and Humberto Quintana stand out in this boat.
Added 2 each to La Sisu, Grace and Amapola. Hendrik Jakobs and Tian Jansson stand out in Sith. Meanwhile, Grace has Diego with his Viera rod he scored 600 points. Cis was in the pro division, Grace was in the semi-pro division, and fisherman Federico Lopez caught two white fish from Amapola (professional).
In addition to white and blue marlin species, sailfish and spearfish are also considered. The tournament concludes on Saturday the 27th with prizes awarded to the best performers.
The boat with the highest score wins the contest. The fishermen who register for the category will likewise recognize the best female fishermen and the best young fishermen.
On the first fishing day, the boat sets sail at 6:45am and casts the line into the water at 7:30am. Line collection was scheduled for 5pm.

Essential Walt Disney World Cast Members Now Allowed to Wear Face Masks at Work During Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
With the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic shutting down most events and theme parks throughout the country indefinitely, Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort have announced that they will temporarily extend closures “until further notice” out of an abundance of caution for their Cast Members and guests. However, while essential Cast Members, like security guards, animal caretakers, and more remain on property throughout the closure, they are now allowed to wear face masks while carrying out their duties.
Starting April 7, Cast Members are being told they can wear face masks to work. These new exceptions are in line with recent recommendations by the CDC to use face masks or other “cloth face coverings” to slow the spread of COVID-19. The CDC recommends wearing face masks in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. Instructions on how to make your own masks can be found on the CDC website via this link.Essential Cast Members will be provided masks (non-surgical grade) upon request or are otherwise allowed to bring their own.

Source Naturals MegaFolinic™ is a highly bioavailable source of folic acid that helps the body build healthy red blood cells. It supports healthy brain and neurological development along with healthy cell division. Folinic acid does not require the enzymatic conversion that folic acid does so there is enhanced effectiveness for many people. Research suggests that folinic acid is more bioavailable than folic acid because it is more rapidly converted into L-methylfolate.*

I hope you don't mind, I've numbered your observations.
Referring to your curves as 'profile' and 'path', and defining some terms:
The Object-space of your profile is measured along its own object-axes, as transformed in Object Mode. You can display its object-axes in its Object tab > Viewport Display panel.
The Tangent of the path is determined by the path itself; its approximated direction at any point.
The Normal of the path at Tilt: 0° is determined by its 'Twist Method', and 'Smooth' settings. The Normals can be further rotated about the Tangent with the Tilt of individual control-points.
First, the rotations:
- The Object-space Z of the profile is always directed down the Tangent of the path.
- The Object-space X of the profile is always mapped to the Normal of the path.
- The Object-space Y of the profile is always mapped to the vector perpendicular to both the the Tangent and the Normal of the path. (their cross-product)
These points are the rationale behind your queries 1,2,4 and 7. The rotations are dependent on the internal geometry of the path, irrespective of the path's coordinates in its Object space. Your query 1 in particular: when you apply the transforms of your profile, you reset its object axes to align with World XYZ, leaving the geometry behind, which changes the Object-space coordinates of the profile's geometry.
.. and translations..
- The profile's object-origin is always mapped to lie on the path.
... and the scales, which may, at first sight, seem anomalous...
- The scale of the profile's mapping in XY is its visual scale, after its object-level transforms, (multiplied by the path's interpolated control-point Radius, at any point along it.) This preserves the profile's status as an object, despite being part of the geometry of the path. It means the path's diameter can be animated, by changing the profile's X and Y scales, in Object Mode. (Your query 3)
- Scaling the path in Edit Mode is just changing the positions of its control-points and their handles in its own Object-space, as if you moved them all yourself, by what just happens to be a scale transform, so you wouldn't expect the bevel-radius to change.(Your query 6)
- Scaling the path in Object Mode is scaling the path's Object-space itself, taking the entire contained geometry with it. That's consistent with Object-level scaling of any other geometry, curve or mesh, in the system. This is what you would expect.. a bevelled curve-converted-to-mesh behaves in the same way it would, were it a mesh in the first place. (Your query 5)
- Applying the scale of the path presents a problem; you want the geometry's appearance to remain unaltered, (as it would for any other object), while baking the object-level scale into the mesh. However, you don't want to interfere with the profile. (It may be being used elsewhere, for example). Blender handles this by altering the Radius of the path, to compensate. That can catch folks out.(Your query 5,second part)
A TL;DR.. the expectation, or rule-of-thumb, here, is that Edit Mode transforms are for modelling, and Object Mode transforms are for animation. In particular, if people only ever scaled in Edit Mode during modelling, a lot of the questions on this site would disappear. Never again would we have to shout: 'Apply your scale!'

The fading dream that this Congress might ever rise to a level of modest responsibility on spending took a big hit Thursday. House leaders were forced to pull a budget reconciliation bill that would have cut spending over the next five years by about $53.9 billion – a drop in the fiscal bucket.
How much spending reduction – actually reductions in projected spending increases, not actual cuts – are we talking about here? Not much.
The federal government is projected, under current budget assumptions, to spend about $7.8 trillion (that’s with a “t”) over the next five years on entitlements alone. Reducing that spending by $54 billion would be a reduction of just over one-half of 1 percent in projected spending.
As a Heritage Foundation analysis put it, it’s analogous to a family of four with a $50,000 annual income finding a way to pay off an emergency-room bill that amounted to $250 over five years. Most families could do it by forgoing candy bars.
Another way to look at it is to analyze the impact on projected spending growth. Mandatory, or entitlement, spending has increased by 28 percent over the past four years, so it has hardly been starved. Under the current budget it is projected to grow by 39 percent over the next five years. If the cuts in the bill the House put aside Thursday were enacted, spending on entitlements over the next five years would be reduced by all of 1 percent.
That’s right, spending would increase by 38 percent rather than 39 percent – over five years.
That this could be spun into doomsday for entitlement recipients, who will not see current payments cut, but only a reduction in proposed increases, is a tribute to the poverty of American political understanding.
That this modest bow to fiscal responsibility should fail – at a time when federal deficits are hovering around $500 billion a year and the unexpected costs associated with Hurricane Katrina and avian flu are pending – suggests that the political class has lost touch with reality.
