Well I’ve discovered a place with worse Internet than remote areas of Nepal. Have had a couple of awesome days I’d like to tell you about and send you pictures of – but that may not happen while I’m here. “Here” being El Chalten in Argentina.
Yesterday I started off on a two hour hike – which turned into six hours – not by accident but because the scenery was so incredible and huge I just couldn’t stop walking and investigating what might be behind the next rise. I walked up to Glacier Grande which is part of the great southern ice field… YES even after travelling all day by bus two days ago – the ice field continues to be present!
Today I had a marvellous morning riding a huge black horse by name of Kan. Seems like a very understated name for such a cool horse. Hopefully pictures of both events will be coming to you soon! The riding was so much fun I think I’ll do that again instead of a hike.
Currently it is raining and storming so hard! The rain is coming sideways and in great sheets. I’m so very happy to be in a really nice hostel siting on a comfortable couch with a hot cup of tea. Kinda wish they served food other than at breakfast. Soon I’ll need to brave the horrendous weather – by far the worst I’ve experienced on this trip – and acquire lunch. Hopefully without blowing away in the process.

I could stay in peace , when I am supposed to be anxious , angry , or simply whatever horrible feeling, letting Almighty GOD take full 100% control
Women were in charge of the countries.
...everyone just took a chill pill....and some people choked on it.
there were no humans.
people lived and not live and kept their noses in their own business
Someone knew where to put the 'more'.
there were no fanatics and people were not power hungry.
one does not exist
Everyone practiced gratitude
people in power were not self fish.
if people got a long instead of fighting
people didn't go out of their way to be j erks
The US wouldnt cave to all the other nations....

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — City contractors began alterations to track in the Santa Fe Railyard on Thursday that are expected to save the cash-strapped Rail Runner commuter train $300,000 a year in operating costs.
But owners of the other railroad that uses the Santa Fe Depot say the city never discussed the changes with them, and that their business will suffer as a result.
Contractors began tearing out a train switching mechanism Thursday and will extend some track about 50 feet.
Rail Runner spokesman Jay Faught said Thursday that the changes will allow the Rail Runner to park its trains at the Santa Fe Depot overnight, instead of in Albuquerque, as it does now. Coupled with changes to the commuter train’s schedule, set to begin Monday, Faught said, the Rail Runner will save about $320,000, which will help continue some weekend service.
But Carol Raymond, president of the Santa Fe Southern Railway, which uses the same track to run its sightseeing trains, says nobody told her about the plan, and that storage of Rail Runner cars on the track closest to the depot will mean her company can’t run its evening trains.
“The city is just chipping away at our ability to run this business,” she said. SFSR moved its offices out of the depot last spring, after negotiations with the city to share the facility with a city-run visitors bureau broke down. SFSR continues to board passengers out of the depot.
Santa Fe City Manager Robert Romero said Raymond had been invited to discussions with the DOT and commuter train representatives about the changes, but failed to respond.
The changes are the result of city efforts to continue weekend train service, Romero said. The Rio Metro Regional Transit District board decided in June to cut out weekend service as a cost-saving measure. That decision was unpopular with the public and the Santa Fe business community, and Mayor David Coss and others appealed to the board to find other ways to save money.
City officials met with their counterparts at the DOT and the Rail Runner, Romero said. “Their idea was, if they could park the trains on the Railyard (property), they could save $300,000,” he said.
In early August, the DOT and Rail Runner told the city they wanted to move ahead quickly with track changes so they would be ready when the Rail Runner schedule changes took effect at the end of the month.
Last Wednesday, the city notified Santa Fe Southern that all its equipment would have to be moved out of the Railyard by Monday.
“They gave us less than two business days to get our entire operation out,” said Raymond on Thursday, as work began on the track changes. She said SFSR’s lease with the city requires 30 days notice for changes.
Romero said that he didn’t hear when the work on the track would begin until early last week. “DOT told us they needed access to the track by Monday, so we sent the letter” to Raymond, Romero said. “As soon as they let us know, we let her know.”
Romero said the city had repeatedly tried to get Raymond to participate in discussions about changes to the track and depot. “She refuses to work with us,” Romero said. “She feels like she owns the track, but she doesn’t. We do.”
Raymond said Romero may have sent letters to Santa Fe Southern’s old address in the depot, but that he didn’t send her any emails. She said she also got “lots of phone messages” on the Friday before she was supposed to vacate the Railyard tracks, but that she didn’t listen to all of them.
“I have a railroad to run,” she said.
The city’s letter notifying SFSR that it had to vacate the Railyard was sent to the company’s new address on West Manhattan Street.
Raymond said Thursday she couldn’t yet estimate the effect the changes would have on her business. “If they change our operations, which they seem to be doing, that’s financially harmful,” she said. “Twenty-five jobs are hanging in the balance.”
Romero said there is still room for Santa Fe Southern’s trains to be stored at the Railyard as they have been, and that the city is willing to work out an arrangement so the company’s late-night trains can load and unload passengers at the depot.
“We’ll do everything we can to accommodate her,” he said.

-Mechanical and Impact test down to –196°C
The purpose of a mechanical or of an impact testing is to determine the resistance, toughness and impact strength to fast and high-rate loading conditions of a valve component sample. This destructive test involves fracturing a notched specimen and measuring the amount of energy absorbed by the material during fracture.
-Chemical analysis check
Chemical analysis is the determination of the physical properties or chemical composition of samples of valve components to ensure they comply with project specification and material data sheets.
Pitting Corrosion ASTM G48 Method B test is generally used to identify, examine and evaluate the pitting corrosion in order to determine the extent of its effect. ASTM G48 Method B, Ferric Chloride Test involves exposing a specimen to a highly oxidizing acid chloride environment. The importance of this evaluation is to be able to determine the extent of pitting, either in a service application where it is necessary to predict the remaining life in a metal structure or to select the most pitting-resistant materials for service.The Corrosion test as per ASTM G 35 provides a way of evaluating the resistance of stainless steels and related alloys to inter granular stress corrosion cracking. This practice can be applied to wrought products, castings, weld metal of stainless steels or other materials to be used in environments containing sulfur or sulfides. See also Hydrogen-Inducted Cracking test (HIC) and Sulphide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSCC).
A microscopic examination is a preliminary testing performed through optic microscopes and in some cases a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and corresponds to a large part to what is called a metallographic examination. There may be residual effects of industrial processes and treatments such as inclusion or contaminants that can be explained by microstructure analysis.
Fully austenitic stainless steel weld deposits have a tendency to develop small fissures even under conditions of minimal restraint. Cracks are clearly injurious defects and cannot be tolerated. Ferrite check provides sufficient control in most applications where minimum ferrite content or a ferrite range is specified.
-Hydrogen-Inducted Cracking test (HIC)
Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (HIC) Test, NACE TM0284, performed to evaluate the resistance of pipeline and pressure vessel plate steels to Hydrogen Inducted Cracking caused by hydrogen absorption from aqueous sulfide corrosion. An unstressed test specimen is exposed to a solution at ambient temperature and pressure and after a specified time, the test specimen is removed and evaluated.
-Sulphide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSCC)
Sulfide Stress Corrosion Cracking (SSC), NACE TM 0177 is a form of hydrogen embrittlement cracking which occurs when a susceptible material is exposed to a corrosive environment containing water and H2S at a critical level of applied or residual tensile stress.
-Salt Spray (Neutral/Fog)
This is the most commonly used salt spray for testing of inorganic and organic coatings, especially where such tests are used for material or product specifications. Salt Spray testing is a tool for evaluation the uniformity of thickness and degree of porosity of metallic and nonmetallic protective coatings. A number of samples can be tested at once depending upon their size

Kohli retains top spot; Rahane, Pujara slip in ICC Test rankings
PTI, Jan 8, 2020, 3:22 PM IST
Dubai: India skipper Virat Kohli retained his top spot among batsmen while Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane slipped in the latest ICC Test rankings issued on Wednesday.
With 928 points, Kohli is way ahead of second-placed Australian maestro Steve Smith (911), the ICC said in a statement.
Pujara was placed sixth, down one rung, with 791 points, while Rahane occupied the ninth spot after slipping a couple of positions with 759 points.
In bowling, India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, returning from an injury layoff, remained static at sixth position with 794 points, while spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (772 points) and seamer Mohammed Shami (771) were ninth and 10th respectively.
Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne grabbed a career-best third place. The 25-year-old moved up one slot after scores of 215 and 59 in the final Test against New Zealand.
He was the highest scorer in the recently-concluded series with 549 runs, while his five previous Tests that include two at home against Pakistan, have seen him amass 896 runs.
Australian speedster Pat Cummins was at the top of the standings with 904 points ahead of Neil Wagner (852) and West Indies’ Jason Holder (830).
Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc equalled a career-best fifth position that he previously achieved in March 2018.
He finished with 15 wickets in the series that included four in Sydney. Spinner Nathan Lyon’s 10-wicket haul has helped him advance five places to joint-14th.
For New Zealand, all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme was a notable gainer. He moved from 47th to 39th among batsmen and from 36th to 34th among bowlers. Matt Henry has moved up three places to 66th among bowlers.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes has made it into the top 10 for batsmen for the second time in his career after scores of 47 and 72. He moved from 15th to 10th, while his best was ninth, achieved in November last year.
Dom Sibley’s maiden Test century has lifted him 87 places to 80th while fast bowler James Anderson’s record 28th five-wicket haul in the first innings sees him back in the top 10 for bowlers.
Opener Dean Elgar (up three places to 19th) and Aiden Markram (up one place to 22nd) among batsmen and Anrich Nortje (up 34 places to 62nd) are the notable gainers for South Africa.

Signs of hope for British manufacturing after coronavirus
There was no shortage of damage inflicted because of the coronavirus pandemic. While it was the public’s physical health that was given top priority, the fallout of COVID-19 impacted many different aspects of life in Britain around the world, including how we socialise, our mental wellbeing, and, of course, the economy. Indeed, it was this last aspect that prompted many people to fear the return of a recession. The good news is that the hit to the economy was a result of an unusual circumstance, rather than a fundamental weakness in the system. As such, there are hopes that it’ll bounce back relatively quickly.
But that’s not to say that there has been no damage. There, especially in certain sectors. British manufacturing was hit particularly hard, since factories had to effectively shut down for the duration of the lockdown. During the height of the pandemic, things slowed down to a level not seen since the second world war.
This naturally prompted fears that British manufacturing would experience a terminal decline. But there’s new evidence to suggest that things are beginning to return to normal, or, at least, that the worst has passed. While still far from the levels of output factories were achieving before coronavirus, the decline has at least slowed down. It’s anticipated that with the positive signs being shown by other industries, manufacturing will begin to step up again.
Not that manufacturing should always be following the lead of other industries. Some experts argue that manufacturing should not just be given a boost by the government, but that it should be the main powerhouse behind the post-coronavirus economic recovery. After all, if the gravity roller conveyor is rolling in the factory, then the British economy benefits. Indeed, it was manufacturing that kept the UK going during the lockdown, with many manufacturers of essential supplies stepping up to do their part. Some factories stopped producing their normal products, and instead made goods that would be beneficial during the pandemic.
Will manufacturing be the poster child for economic recovery? It remains to be seen. Much of it will depend on the initiative shown by the government. Some governments have treated manufacturing as a secondary concern, but during the lockdown, we’ve seen that it’s not just another economic aspect to consider: it is, in many ways, the beating heart of UK working life. It’s going to take some time until British manufacturing can truly get back on its feet and reach the levels set by the pre-coronavirus climate. It’s also highly likely that the path to good fortune won’t be linear; it’ll be a trial and error approach, as businesses try to figure out the best ways to work that are also in line with “the new normal.”
And then there’s the distant threat of a second wave. Then, at least, British manufacturing will be in a stronger position to weather the storm. They were caught blindsided by the first wave, just like everyone else, yet they’ve already shown that the worst has passed.

Well we all knew it up here, but now it’s official – The north of England is the freelancing capital of the country.
It may surprise some people to find out that London is not leading the way, but Yorkshire and Lancashire with their respective cities are firmly pinned in first place. Personally i do not find this too surprising given the boom in Manchester, thanks to the BBC moving into Media City and the ripple effects that causes. I know many freelancers that have chosen this path for varying reasons – some lifestyle based, others due to the lack of full-time positions available in creative agencies, but whatever the reason I can vouch for Manchester being one of the best places to embark on this path. Don’t believe the story about having a ‘flexible life’ though. That little part is pushing it way too far!

I love reviewing music and I love most reviewing great music. This is the turn of very great music and therefore I couldn’t be happier than this. Being a fan of Hidden Orchestra I discovered Poppy Ackroyd as a member of this great Scottish band and when I heard about her solo experiment I was really curious to listen to it. The result is that Escapement – this is the title of the British artist’s first album – is in each of my playlists since that day.
Poppy Ackroyd is a performer and composer from London who is currently based in Edinburgh that made proof of her artistry not only playing as a member of the wonderfully eclectic Hidden Orchestra but also collaborating with choreographers and filmmakers. Her first solo album, Escapement, is a journey through 7 tracks that in a bit more than 30 minutes is capable to excite the listener, both the attentive and the random one.
There are three actors on this beautiful album: the violin, the piano and the elegance of the artist. The basic idea of Escapement is to melt classical themes, in this case the ones of the violin and the piano, with a post attitude where the instrument complexity of an entire band is replaced by a wide range of field recordings and sound effects. The album, in effect, has been recorded with a single microphone and then edited, manipulated, remixed, and refined on a personal computer by Poppy herself. The outcome of this fusion goes over each expectation since we are in front of an album that consists of the sweet and quiet mood of classical music together with the avant-garde world of the electronic music. That’s why it will be impossible that this album will remain dust covered on your shelf.
The opening ‘Aliquot’ begins with a soft piano introduction and soon the violin enters into the scene adding persuasive moments into the song. The two instruments go together in this quite intro to the album and the protagonist of the song is the unconventional way in which Poppy Ackroyd plays them since she always add something different - can be her hands or the e-bow on the piano strings - to create unusual timbres and textures. In ‘Aliquot’, for example, you have the impression that there is also a guitar but she creates this effect simply plucking the strings of the violin. This is original, this is art.
The following ‘Rain’ is one of my favorite songs of the album. A masterpiece! ‘Rain’ opens up with the sound of rain and gently the violin steps in between the sound of the drops falling on a surface. Violin and piano sound grows up in a rhythmic crescendo till achieving a peak from where the piano softly leaves the scene to the violin. This is an everytime and everywhere song. It’s suitable to a wide range of situations, is relaxing, is moving, alone in your room or in a bar full of people. ‘Rain’ is perfect in each situation. The perfect soundtrack to a driving journey on an empty road. This song can have each shape you want, it’s up to your imagination.
I saw Poppy Ackroyd live at the Denovali Swingfest event at London's Scala last April and when she started playing ‘Seven’ all the people was astonished. Her picking on the piano strings is the proof of her artistry. Really unforgettable. The only pity is that it was too short. The cinematic ‘Glass Sea’ will blow your mind with its continuous changes in the rhythm. This song is like a overwhelming wave. Just let ‘Glass Sea’ seduce you. ‘Lyre’ is a densely emotive work. It’ s a simple song, built on a few notes performed on the piano, and really minimalistic. But even from this simple approach Poppy Ackroyd has been able to realize a song so deep and so powerful that no one listener could remain indifferent. It’s your song, the one that will bring you to talk with yourself.
‘Grounds’ and ‘Mechanism’ conclude the album and I’m particularly fond of ‘Grounds’ since it was the first song I heard from Poppy Ackroyd music as a solo artist. It was love at first listening and, as all first loves, I won’t forget it. This track is gentle, evoking and hypnotic. The rhythm won’t leave your mind even when the song will finish. Field recordings are also used in this last song. ‘Mechanism’ closes the album as a celebration of all the techniques that Poppy Ackroyd uses on Escapement. The violin tapping is the undisputed protagonist of the song and the field recordings add the rhythm to this already rhythmic track. It's a beautiful end for a stunning album.
Escapement has been released last year and now it will have a full physical release through Denovali Records. I recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of music. With its seven tracks of pure and simple music, Escapement is an experience in which the music returns to be more an art rather than an entertainment.

Here's a spring-y card I made for the Stamping 411 sketch #147 here.
I used the stamp set Flight of the Butterfly with Rose Red and So Saffron inks. The patterned papers are from the Sweet Pea DSP stack. I stamped the sentiment in Rose Red and the little flowers in So Saffron. The butterfly was first stamped in So Saffron and then I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to add the polka-dots in Rose Red. I ran a strip of Rose Red card stock thru the Scallop edge punch and added some dots with a white gel pen. A piece of 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly
Papers: Whisper white, Rose Red, So Saffron and Sweet Pea DSP stack
Inks: Rose Red and So Saffron
Accessories: Scallop edge punch, white gel pen, Stamp-a-ma-jig, 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain, corner rounder punch


text: Meanwhile, a press release from the IMF in February announced that the Fund had not been able to complete its first review of performance because the government's macroeconomic policies were judged to be "inconsistent" with the objectives under the policy support instrument (PSI) programme that was agreed in May 2010 (June 2010, Economic policy). The press release did not specify which of the government's policies the Fund was unhappy with, but revealed that discussions would continue under the framework of the second review, with further meetings planned for March. It is believed that the IMF was unhappy with a USh600bn (US$262m) supplementary budget that the government passed in January, which increased expenditure in the lead-up to the elections. A PSI agreement does not involve any financial support from the IMF, and its main purpose is to provide a stamp of approval from the Fund to reassure foreign donors and investors. It has been apparent, though, ever since the potential of Uganda's oil resources was confirmed, that the government has been taking a more independent line with the IMF and donors.

Opposition Leader Joseph Atherley wants to know why no high ranking members of society is ever charged for smuggling weapons into Barbados.
Speaking in Parliament today on a resolution “to take note” of the Governor General’s Throne Speech, Atherley said the young men on the block who were being arrested did not have “the wherewithal to get guns into this country to the extent that seems to be the case”.
Instead, he suggested, it was the “big ups” who had the capacity to import the illegal guns, yet none was being made to pay.
“I’ve not heard of any big-ups being brought before the courts from the world of business, and charged with having been part of the supply chain bringing these guns into Barbados; any public servants being charged with reference to that type of activity; any persons out of the political class or practising politicians before the courts in relation to any matter such as that; any priests or pastors being arrested by the police and hauled before the courts because they are found to be a part of the supply chain of illegal arms coming into Barbados,” he said.
“Why is it that we cannot get a handle on his matter of illegal arms coming into Barbados and being made so easily accessible and available to minds which are then criminally disposed to the use of such for whatever purpose?” he queried.
At a news conference yesterday to update the country on the crime situation for the first six months of the year, Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith said overall crime remained at a “manageable level”, while revealing that assaults and wounding accounted for 14.5 per cent of the 4,054 crimes committed during the period.
The commissioner said there was an approximately 36 per cent decrease in firearms enabled crime, from 184 last year to 118 this year.
Atherley today said the Royal Barbados Police Force (RBPF) had improved its crime detection ability over the years, but expressed disappointment that there was no crackdown on gun crimes.
He said following shootings involving members of working class communities, some of the young men would be jailed but “nobody goes on to say to us where the guns come from”.
The Opposition Leader described the situation as presenting “a serious danger to our democracy” and warned that soon the shooters would stop shooting each other and the guns and “will perhaps one day be trained at the police authority . . . at political personalities”.
For these reasons Atherley said “if we find that the police force locally here does not have the capacity to address the situation then I’m strongly suggesting we need to import the help, the capacity, from whatever recognized and capable international agency to address this matter”.
He said such a move would be a worthwhile investment, while stressing that “we need to get the help for the police which is necessary, and if it should come from outside . . . then that is in the interest of Barbados”.
The Opposition Leader said police from the rank of sergeant downwards should be paid “much more than they presently earn. The nature of their work has changed over time. It is now far more hazardous, dangerous”.
He spoke of the Police Commissioner lamenting that the Force was 100 members short of its optimum number, adding: “If we pay more we are likely to see an improvement in the recruitment prospects, not only of numbers but of quality persons presenting themselves to serve.”
Atherley explained that this pay raise should come after Barbados emerges from the current economic austerity period.
“Once we have come out on the other side of this deep, dark valley through which now tread, those for first consideration should be those who serve in the defence of this country in terms of law enforcement duties in a very hazardous world,” he said.

Speechless Sunday's Sunset - Simply Spectacular
As the sun made its majestic descent over Lake Wylie, it painted the horizon with a glorious palette of warm golds and cool blues. What a grand canvas the sky was this evening! I love the wisps of clouds that streaked the sky as they caught the last light’s reflection of day. The trees seemed to stand as silent silhouettes, framing Mother Nature’s art.
I love a grand sunset - the world seems to pause and everything is aglow with the quiet fire of dusk - what an incredible show we witnessed!
Happy Sunday, Y'all!

The Tokyo Olympic Games finally swing into action this weekend and for the athletes taking part, preparations have been more challenging than ever.
The Games were postponed for 12 months in response to the coronavirus pandemic, so athletes aiming to peak for last summer have had to modify their training to ensure they now hit top performance this summer.
Now most athletes have arrived in Tokyo ahead of Friday's opening ceremony, they face unprecedented conditions in which to train and compete. Tokyo 2020 organisers have introduced a number of restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19, including limited freedom of movement for athletes around the Olympic facilities.
But as the saying goes: the show must go on - and athletes have been training hard to be ready for the start of the Games.
At the tennis park on Tuesday, two-time gold medallist Andy Murray hit the practice courts as did local hope Kei Nishikori. Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka - the four-time Grand Slam champion and one of the poster athletes for the Games - went through her paces as she bids to win gold for the host country.
Elsewhere, teams from softball, football, and beach volleyball were also training hard on Tuesday.
Take a look through the photo gallery above to check out some of the best pictures from athletes training ahead of the Olympics.


CORPUS CHRISTI - Texas A&M University System regents accepted this afternoon the city's donation of 156 acres for the expansion of Texas A&M University — Corpus Christi's island campus.
The university now begins the master planning process to figure what to build on the land off Ennis Joslin Road, said President Flavius Killebrew.
"We'll try to connect whatever we do there with what we're doing on campus," he said. "And keep as much of the academic core on the island. As I've talked to students, they don't even like to walk across campus. It works much better if faculty and students don't have great distance to go between classes."
City Council approved the donation in October.
University officials have said not being able to expand off Ward Island would mean the university would have to cap student enrollment at 10,000 within the next four or five years. Approximately 8,600 students are enrolled at the university this semester.
City officials have said that every 1,000 students attending the university bring $23 million annually to the local economy.
The land includes 42 acres of South Guth Park and 114 acres next to a wastewater treatment facility. Youth ball fields currently in the park will be relocated by the city to a site off Paul Jones Avenue at an estimated cost of $7.5 million. City officials have said The university can't build at the site until the new fields are ready.
The university's master planning, which will cost $80,000 to $100,000, is expected to be finished by March, Killebrew said.
A tentative schedule could see drainage work on the site begin as early as this summer.

Yannick Kerlogot: We must analyze the concrete effects of the decision of the Constitutional Council which considers the wording of article 4 of the law of May 21, 2021, on the protection and promotion of regional languages, as contrary to article 2 of the Constitution. It is up to us, by mid-July, to make proposals to strengthen in a legal way, but also educational and financial, the practice as it is exercised in networks like Diwan.
Christophe Euzet and you are defenders of the Molac law. So there is a will on the part of the government to preserve immersive education as it is practiced today?
It’s obvious. I remind you that, in recent events, both the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister have spoken very clearly. There is indeed a political will to further develop regional languages. We measure the strong expectation expressed, in particular, during the rally in Guingamp, on May 29. The Bretons recalled that we are in regions with identities that we must do everything to preserve and promote. One of the objectives is therefore to find a quick solution so that the return to school next September can be done in a peaceful way, with an article 4 of the law reinforced by legal consolidation.
Does this legal consolidation involve a rewriting of article 4 of the Molac law, before a new passage before Parliament?
There are different options, including, indeed, an accelerated procedure for the targeted rewriting of Article 4. But we will only be able to enumerate them after our work has been completed.
The revision of article 2 of the Constitution – to which the Constitutional Council referred to censor part of the Molac law – can it be part of your recommendations to the Prime Minister?
We do not forbid ourselves anything. But let’s be serious. Those who demand it loud and clear know full well that it is not twelve months from the end of the mandate that we will ask for a revision of the Constitution. Especially since we have no guarantee of success. It’s already complicated to complete article 1 of the constitution, as the President wishes, with climate issues… So imagine regional languages, a subject that does not concern everyone. Especially since such a reform supposes the meeting of Congress and the approval of two-thirds of parliamentarians.
In the engagement letter, there is no question of another article censored by the Constitutional Council: the one allowing the use of diacritics such as the tilde in civil status documents …
The letter actually only deals with one specific point: immersive education. The urgency, I repeat, it is the appeasement of the actors concerned by regional languages and their teaching. Regarding the diacritics, the fight will continue. But later.

Improving Care Continuity in Hospital-Sponsored Teaching Clinics
Special Projects Fund
November 3, 2011
WebsiteSEE GRANT OUTCOMES
Hospital-sponsored teaching clinics face an inherent challenge.
They seek to provide strong continuity of care for patients, yet they largely rely on a discontinuous workforce comprising of medical residents. In 2010, NYHealth provided a planning grant to Greater New York Hospital Foundation, Inc. (GNYHF) to identify opportunities to improve the quality and continuity of patient care without compromising the educational requirements with which residency programs must comply. The planning grant repeatedly identified the resident scheduling format as the single biggest hurdle to improving continuity of care for patients. In 2011, NYHealth awarded GNYHF a grant to work with 15 residency programs—25% of all the programs in the State—to improve resident scheduling and care continuity through the implementation of models that have been successfully employed in other parts of the country.
Under this grant, GNYHF worked to provide technical assistance on scheduling and assignment redesign, creating teams to coordinate patient care, and collecting and using patient utilization data to inform practice. Through the use of national consultants, the project developed a compendium of resources to guide residency programs and clinics in implementing the changes; included in these materials were models of successful scheduling formats, paired with a step-by-step guide on how to integrate these formats into yearly resident schedules. GNYHF also offered educational workshops and customized technial assistance to those 15 residency programs.

Novorossiisk Commercial Sea Port Group said Wednesday that its 2012 net profit more than doubled to $316 million thanks to increased cargo handling of ferrous metals and oil products.
The port operator's revenue fell 1.5 percent to $1.03 billion mainly due to a decrease in fuel purchases for ships. The company's ports, Novorossiisk on the Black Sea and Primorsk on the Baltic Sea, provide the largest outlet for Russian energy and commodity exports.
Analysts were disappointed in the results, saying the profit rise mainly reflected "paper gains" in the foreign currency market due to ruble volatility.
Shares in the group were down almost 3 percent Wednesday, underperforming a 1.4 percent decline in the broader market .
Novorossiisk is at the center of a tussle between its two major shareholders, Russian oil pipeline operator Transneft and Summa Group, ahead of a planned sale of state's 20 percent in the company.

Last April, Congress reached a détente on the budget by re-imposing a ban on using local funds to pay for abortions in Washington, DC. Since the capitol city is essentially a ward of the federal government, Congress gets to control what happens here—even when it’s DC’s own money. Now, an Arizona congressman wants to go a step farther in limiting abortion in the District by imposing a ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Republican Trent Franks introduced his “District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” this week with the approval of anti-abortion groups. National Right to Life, which created the model legislation Franks’ bill is based on, has called passing the DC ban one of its top priorities this year.
DC has long been a pawn in the congressional chess game over abortion rights. There was a ban on using local funds for abortions in place from 1988 through 1993 and 1995 through 2009. Then it was repealed again before coming back in 2011. DC women have been treated as “nothing more than a bargaining chip,” Val Vilott, the board president of the DC Abortion Fund, a group that helps low-income women in the city pay for abortions, said Thursday at the annual NARAL Pro-Choice America dinner.
Franks’ 20-week ban would represent a new level of congressional “oversight” on what happens in DC. “The politicians who say they want local control and smaller government exposed their hypocrisy,” Nancy Keenan, the president of NARAL, said of the Frank bill on Thursday night.
A number of states have passed or attempted to pass 20-week abortion bans in the past few years. All these bills are based on the argument that a fetus can feel pain after 20 weeks gestation—an argument that is not supported by the bulk of the science on the subject to date. In states that have passed the law, it has created a signifcant barrier to women who need later-term abortions for a variety of reasons. But in those states, the bans came from the state’s elected legislature, not from some guy from Arizona whom DC taxpayers have never voted into office.

At The Warehouse Co. we are water pump specialists, which is why as well as our standard selection of water pumps that can be found on our website for domestic use in homes we also have our petrol water pumps and diesel water pumps. Traditionally a petrol water pump or a diesel water pump won’t be used in the home but will be used in a more rural setting where electricity isn’t a practical way of powering the water pump. For example your may use a petrol or diesel water pump on a farm or in rural areas; you may be using the petrol water pump or diesel water pump to pump water from a dam or well into your water system, which would require it to be powered by fuel as opposed to electricity due to it’s position. If you’re unsure of what water pump you require and would like to speak to someone about the different benefits of petrol water pumps or diesel water pumps then contact our team today who will be more than happy to discuss these options with you.

The new NBV vertical machining center from MAG Industrial Automation is flush with modular application flexibility, including configurations for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis contouring or 5-axis mill/turn work, integrated CAM support and program simulation and four spindle options ranging up to 42,000 rpm, according to the company's press release. In addition to its hydraulic-free design, the NBV conserves energy with a selectable ECO-Mode power saving feature that automatically levels speed and acceleration for a balance of cutting performance, energy use and machine-component life. Applications include die/mold, automotive and aerospace impellers and blisks, medical, and general machining.
In a footprint of just 9.6 m2 (133.5 sq ft), the fixed-table NBV 400 provides X-Y-Z ranges of 700 x 600 x 500 mm (27.6 x 23.6 x 19.7 in), with table capacity of 300 kg (661 lb). Spindle options include speeds of 10,000, 12,000 (mill-turn only), 18,000, 24,000 and 42,000 rpm, offering a torque range of 125 to 12.4 Nm (92 to 9 lb ft) at 40 percent duty. A disc-type 40-tool magazine integrated in the machine bed maximizes in-cut time with fast direct tool change (4.4 sec chip-to-chip), without a separate tool changer. The hydraulic-free system clamps tools with proven disc springs.
FEA-optimized for static and dynamic stiffness, the NBV is built on a single-piece cast machine bed that provides high rigidity and vibration damping for outstanding cutting performance and precision in heavy machining operations. High-performance machining is achieved with direct-coupled digital drives, delivering rapid traverse rates up to 60 m/min (2362 ipm) and acceleration up to 6 m/s2 (19.7 ft/s2).

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Transit Authority recently had 2,500 free transit passes for a seven-day period in July snapped up in just two days.
Another 1,500 are available, announced Wednesday during the fifth annual Clear the Air Challenge kickoff event. The passes, which are good on all UTA buses and trains, are available at UtaRideClear.com.
This year's challenge is aimed at reducing summertime smog by enlisting 11,000 participants who will pledge to eliminate 300,000 vehicle trips and 2 million vehicle miles traveled.
Marty Carpenter, with the Salt Lake Chamber, said last year's challenge resulted in nearly 1.6 million miles reduced in travel and 134,000 vehicle trips eliminated.
Last year, 6,600 individuals participating by themselves or in teams went to www.cleartheairchallenge.org to make the pledge to help reduce pollutants during Utah's most notorious month for high levels of ozone.
Jonathan Johnson, chairman of the Clean Air Task Force at the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce and executive vice chairman of Overstock.com, said residents can help reduce ozone by riding transit, trip-chaining, carpooling or bicycling.
"The challenge has been a big success so far, but we need to strengthen our efforts," Johnson said. "Each year, I personally challenge my colleagues at Overstock.com to ride their bikes to work during the challenge, agreeing to match any colleague’s longest commute. We also arrange at least one day when we bike to work together. … The internal competition is fierce."
Since its inception five years ago, the Clear the Air Challenge has resulted in nearly 5.3 million miles saved, reduced emissions by 7.5 million pounds and conserved 72,208 gallons of gas, according to the Chamber.

MOSCOW, January 22 (Itar-Tass) — The scenarios of Russia’s development worked out by the international expert council for Russia at the World Economic Forum are not favorable, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said at a briefing on Tuesday. However, the Russian government believes that such presentation of the problem lets Russia think about what must be changed in the country’s policy, he stressed.
He said scenarios prepared by the expert council take into consideration three major aspects in different variations – situation on global oil markets, paces of institutional reforms in the Russian Federation as well as the level of regional integration or differentiation of regions inside Russia. “Proceeding from this three scenarios emerge: drop in oil prices with well-know consequences for declared, high oil prices and the lack of institutional reforms and the strengthening of regional differentiation of the regions against the background of a general stagnation,” he reported.
“This does not mean that all scenarios are catastrophic, but they are not optimistic either,” he admitted. “The prime minister will express his opinion on these scenarios,” Dvorkovich told reporters.
“Despite these expert conclusions, we have a positive view of development,” Dvorkovich pledged. “And it is good that the scenarios are not good enough, because they make us think,” he stressed. “This is a good challenge for the Russian government, a reason for thinking about what is being done wrong, what must be changed,” he believes.

Poetry Plastique Statement
Sprung Monuments, which I painted especially for the Poetry Plastique show, includes lines and fragments of poems by Charles Bernstein. We have collaborated on five books together: The Occurrence of Tune (Segue, 1981), The Nude Formalism (Sun & Moon, 1989), Fool’s Gold (Chax, 1991), Little Orphan Anagram (Granary Books, 1997), and Log Rhythms (Granary Books, 1998). In addition, I have done several artist’s books on my own and have a new collaborative book with the poet Susan Howe, Bed Hangings, forthcoming in 2001 from Granary Books. Notably, although painting is my main preoccupation, this is the first time I have incorporated lines from Charles’ poetry into one of my paintings.
Over the years, I have painted many works with images alone. Since 1996, I have occasionally incorporated titles and blurbs from B-movie and film noir movie posters and slogans and titles from pulp novels into various paintings. Text alters the framework for the images and repositions the viewers in relation to the paintings. In Sprung Monuments, I have reset excerpts of several of the poems I had previously set in Little Orphan Anagram and Log Rhythms.
The settings in the painting are different from those in the books. Here I have used the absurdist humor and mock or perhaps all-too-real profundity of the line, “Poetry fakes nothing happening,” to show a man rained down on by relentless trickles of enamel paint as the cloud encompassing this thought nears him. Meanwhile, the poem “My son is going dumb I would pluck out my neighbor’s tongue if it would do any good” forms an oval shield of words over the man’s belly, suggesting that these are the thoughts of a worried father. “His wife she stood with a loaded gun,” the bungled quotation from Emily Dickinson (“My Life had stood-a Loaded Gun”), is framed by an errant 1940s woman watching her lover escape from an open window, as well as a postcard of a loving 1950s father hanging a horseshoe over his family’s door frame. The visual framing positions the text in the space between family and seduction, sexual longing, and family values.
The images in the painting touch on the humorous, mystical, whimsical, science fictional, surreal, and philosophic underpinnings of the poems. But each panel of the painting puts forward its own interpretation. Sometimes the images focus on just one word of the poem and sometimes they stand in a stark contrast to the poem. I am not interested in a strict illustrational approach to the words but rather an oblique associative relation between image and poem.
The image is an echo and an accompaniment of the poem. Much like writing music to a libretto -- the words and the music stand in inverse relationship to each other. In setting these poems however, I am also interested in legibility. The poems float in a clouds, bubbles, and rocks, sometimes they are encased in linear boxes. They become part of the artificial landscape created by the gridded space of the painting.
Each of these poems is set in its own space. I also think of these small scenes as a storyboard or cartoon frames or as fragments of the whole. As the poem puts it: “The parts are greater that the sum of the whole.” This applies to the use of details in the painting. The painting can be viewed in close-ups as a highly detailed reading of the individual lines of the poems or a whole, where the fragments of a puzzle fall into place to lend the appearance of a false unity. This unity is created by the painted and collaged surface of the grid and is held together by the boundaries of the stretched canvas.
This is also my sense of the relationship between the artist and the poet who collaborate together. The poems and images form a larger symbiosis that enhances the interpretation of the synthetic whole. Thus, the idea of “poetry plastique” is an interpretative visualization of the underlying abstract imagery and mood and emotions of the poems. Particularly, when dealing with ironic, dense, and open-ended poems like Charles’s, I feel free to provide my own interpretive response.
Different poets suggest different approaches to collaboration. For example, in setting the poems of Susan Howe in Bed Hangings, I felt more directed by the poem’s historical subject matter: Puritans, religion, colonial America, fabric design, and textiles. All of these were of major importance to the interpretation and imagery of the pictures and so my images centered upon them.
In collaborations between poets and visual artists, I feel that the artist should match the wavelength of her or his artistic intuition and vision to the intensity and demands of the poet’s words. It is a challenge and pleasure to be able to form visual reponses to overpowering verbal stimulants. Some of my inspirations have been the medieval illuminated pages, the books of William Blake and William Morris, as well as the work of Max Ernst, John Heartfield, and Hannah Höch. But, most of all, the amazing ability of writers to conjure up whole worlds of images with their words continues to fascinate and inspire me to follow suit with a visual response.

Some UK rail commuters, facing 6% average fare rises next week, are already paying almost 10 times more for their season tickets than their European counterparts, according to new figures.
The price of a 2011 season ticket from Woking in Surrey to London, including Tube travel in the capital, is £3,268. Yet a similar 22-mile journey from Velletri to Rome costs Italian season ticket holders £336.17, statistics from the Campaign for Better Transport (CBT) showed.
Similar journeys of around 21-24 miles in other European countries reveal that rail travellers on the continent are paying far less for their trains.
According to the CBT figures, which include the equivalent of multi-modal travel tickets on each city's underground systems, an annual season for the 24-mile journey from Ballancourt-sur-Essonne to Paris costs £924.66.
The cost of a season ticket on the 21-mile Strausberg to Berlin route is £705.85, while the 22-mile Collado-Villalba to Madrid journey costs Spanish season ticket holders £653.74.
From January 2, UK regulated fares, which include season tickets, are rising by an average of 6%, with the overall average rise for all tickets being 5.9%.
The Government had planned to increase the annual price rise formula by 2% in January 2012, which would have meant regulated fares rising 8%. Chancellor George Osborne announced last month that the rise would be limited to 6%, but the Government still plans annual rises of RPI inflation plus 3% for January 2013 and January 2014.
CBT's public transport campaigner Sophie Allain said: "When the cost of season tickets is so much higher than other European capitals, the Government's fare rises are starting to affect the UK's competitiveness. That's why if the Government is serious about promoting economic growth it must also look at reducing planned fare rises in 2013 and 2014 as part of a policy to cut fares and make public transport truly affordable."
A Department for Transport spokesman said: "Better value for fare-payers and taxpayers can only be achieved if the rail industry works together to reduce inefficiency, and we will be publishing our rail reform plans early next year."

INTERCEPTING one tonne bombs, dealing with hostage situations and protecting foreign dignitaries from harm -- it's all in a day's work for the ERU.
With the republican dissident threat increasing and gang feuds escalating, the work of the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) has never been more vital.
I was able to witness ERU operations close up by accompanying a team on a mission in Finglas as they attempted to quell gang tensions.
Transported by jeep to a location in Finglas, our photographer and I arrived just as a "super checkpoint" was already assembled.
As uniformed gardai waded through the traffic pulling over suspect vehicles, four ERU officers constantly looked on, keeping their focus, implementing their training, guarding the peace.
My guide for the evening told me that the reaction of commuters to the ERU presence has been largely positive.
Their appearance can be a little intimidating, fully blacked out and carrying an array of weaponry -- much of their new equipment came as a result of the Abbeylara shooting tragedy a decade ago.
An on-site officer explained to me how each member of the unit designs the lay-out of their own suit to conform with their preferences to allow them to find, by touch, their weapon of choice for a given situation.
Constant training and simulated exercises keep their senses finely tuned and at any one time there is an ERU team training to deal with highly volatile situations.
An officer's journey into the ranks of the ERU begins with a two-week initiation dubbed 'hell week', where candidates are both physically and mentally assessed.
"You're given tasks to perform. You could be in a pool or on the side of a mountain, depending on the task," an officer explained. "They are tasks designed to test you mentally and physically, they involve working for long periods with little sleep.
"We have to see how people interact and how they operate when tired or hungry. They are designed to test people at their lowest point.
"The failure rate is very high and it's a success to even complete the two-week course. Even then you may not be deemed suitable."
ERU members now carry a range of 'less lethal' weapons, including ASP batons, OC spray, bean bag rounds, Ferret CS gas projectiles and tasers.
As part of their training, each member is made to sample the impact of their weapons -- from being subdued by a Taser to being asked to perform tasks after being hit with OC (pepper) spray.
The ERU has to respond to every situation that might arise and the recent purchase by the Air Corps of six AW 139 helicopters, each capable of carrying a full ERU team, means they can respond to a situation anywhere in the country within one hour.
The unit is now aiming to improve its maritime capabilities to deal with dangerous situations at sea and on waterways and officers have been working with the Garda Dog Unit to develop the use of police dogs.
Previous operations have seen the ERU intercept massive bombs, including one vehicle loaded with explosives that was apprehended at Dun Laoghaire and believed to have been destined for the Aintree Grand National.
The ERU managed to infiltrate IRA training camps at Clonmel in 2004 and the Co Meath town of Stamullen in 1999, leading to the arrest of up to 20 IRA members. The dissident republican threat has reared its head once more -- signified by the shooting dead of suspected IRA member Seamus McMahon in Dundalk on March 21 by two gunmen and the recent bomb discoveries in the North.
The ERU has evolved in the 23 years it has been in existence and is now held in high regard internationally.
"We're one of the busiest armed and tactical teams in Europe and among the most experienced, we're considered to have been very successful in our activities," an officer said.
"Anyone who becomes a member of the ERU has to want to be here. You don't see a lot of your family, you have to be tough, resilient and highly motivated.
"We don't like being referred to as 'elite', every ERU officer begins their career as a rank-and-file garda.
"Our operations are only successful because of the work done by ordinary members of the force who compile intelligence that we act upon, we're all part of the same team."

And so this is the closing of 2014. It's been a good year for me on the whole, but there are parts I'm not wanting to repeat.
It's said many times, many ways: a writer must write. I've blogged about how important a writing habit is, whether daily or weekly. 2014 reinforced the truth of that for me.
My daily word counts get tweeted and I track my progress in the sidebar of my blog. Down at the bottom you can see word counts from previous years. My peak year was 2012. I blamed the drop-off in 2013 on time lost to self-publishing and promotions.
(ducks thrown tomatoes)
Everybody's different. I wrote 95,800 words in 2014 and for me that's discouraging. A project that felt like a major undertaking was stillborn. I spent too much time waiting for things.
On the up side, I self-published two volumes of Disciple and sold Hawks & Rams. I did finish the story I was writing at the beginning of 2014 -- Callisto's Ghost -- and my current WIP has surprised me.
Will 2015 be better? worse? I have to wonder whether I am in a slump or if the years that I was writing Disciple were unnaturally fertile. That sort of question does not have an answer, since I will never be the person I was in 2012 again (if I have anything to say about it.) Whoever I am now, I need to work on my writing discipline as much as I ever did.
My old word counts still stand as proof to how much you can get done plugging away with less than a thousand words a day. That's right, even at my best the daily average works out to less than you'd think. Less than it takes to win NaNoWriMo.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that our bodies need to support many physiological functions, as well as supporting bone health and bone mineralisation.* Playing a vital role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, magnesium is a crucial nutrient our body needs, yet doesn’t produce by itself.
Did you know that there are different types of magnesium?
While there are many different types of magnesium, we’ve put together a guide on the main types of magnesium you might find in your multivitamin supplements. Discover everything you need to know about magnesium, from what it is to how magnesium can benefit your overall health and wellbeing.
What is Magnesium?
Magnesium is a crucial nutrient that helps to maintain and support many functions of the body. Known to support over 300 biochemical reactions, it will be hard to list all the benefits of magnesium in one article! To name a few, magnesium can help to support:
- Protein synthesis
- Blood pressure
- Muscle function
- Immune system function
- Energy Production
- Brain function
- Healthy bones
What Are the Main Types of Magnesium?
1. Magnesium Aspartate
Magnesium aspartate is a magnesium salt, formed by combining magnesium with the amino acid, aspartic acid.
Magnesium aspartate is considered a non-essential amino acid but is highly bioavailable. This means that the body can absorb and reap the benefits of magnesium with ease.
2. Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium oxide is one of the most common types of magnesium found in supplements. It’s responsible for supporting energy metabolism and is critical for enzyme function.*
3. Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate is another common type of magnesium that you’ll find in your vitamins and supplements. Magnesium citrate is the perfect choice thanks to its bioavailability and absorption, which is important for regulating calcium transport between cells.* Magnesium citrate also helps to support a relaxed mood and can help with occasional anxiety relief.*
Which Form of Magnesium is the Most Absorbable?
All types of magnesium will differ in bioavailability, which refers to how easy it can be absorbed by the body. The most bioavailable forms of magnesium that often feature in magnesium supplements and multivitamins are magnesium glycinate and magnesium citrate, closely followed by magnesium aspartate and magnesium chloride. All of these forms of magnesium are chelated, meaning that the mineral has been bound to an organic or amino acid.
How to Get Magnesium into Your Diet
In order to maintain optimal health, it’s crucial to ensure you’re getting enough magnesium through your diet or by taking a multivitamin that contains magnesium. To help you get started, discover what foods have magnesium and add them to your diet:
Foods Rich in Magnesium
- Seeds, including pumpkin, flax and chia seeds
- Nuts, including almonds, Brazil, cashew and peanuts
- Dark chocolate
- Whole grains
Multivitamin Supplements with Magnesium
It’s pretty common to find the types of magnesium we’ve listed in multivitamin supplements, providing you with a quick and convenient way to ensure you’re getting enough magnesium, while also boosting your overall nutrient intake.
At Puritan’s Pride, we have a selection of multivitamins that have been designed to support your nutritional needs.
Our Mega Vit-Min combines over 30 high-quality vitamins, minerals and herbs to create a specialised formula for maturing adults. Reap the benefits of a timed-release multivitamin, containing 50mg magnesium oxide per serving to support normal psychological function.*

I spat out a mouthful of blood as I loaded single bullets into the magazine as quickly as my numb fingers would move.
“You don’t have to do this!”
I slammed it into the grip and tried to pull back the slide, but it jammed, forcing me to unload it and try again.
“It doesn’t have to end like this!”
The second try worked, as the first blood coated bullet clicked into the chamber.
“You’re going to regret this!”
I aimed the sights on her forehead.
“PLEASE GOD NOT THIS!”
I shook my head, silencing my conscience as I fired.

A Better Way to Whiten in the Clinic
Tooth whitening is one of the most sought-after cosmetic improvements that patients seek. Even with the variety of retail and take-home products available, none can achieve the results and immediate impact of an in-office tooth whitening by a qualified dentist or hygenist.
The Use of Lasers in Tooth Whitening Procedures
Research has shown that Epic lasers are capable of delivering 6-12 shades (varies by patient) with less than 20 minutes of gel-to-tooth contact time. The laser energy from an Epic laser interacts with chromophores in the proprietary laser-activated gel to accelerate the in-office whitening procedure.
BIOLASE offers two Epic diode laser systems that can be equipped with our patented whitening handpiece to deliver fast in-office whitening treatment. Gel and other procedure necessities to perform a whitening treatment are included with every “patient kit.”
