Mesut Ozil has no plans to leave Arsenal.
The German has been in and out of Unai Emery's starting lineup this season, either because of injury or through not being selected.
But, while there may be some frustration on the player's part, the 30-year-old insists that he will keep working to help both himself and his team.
"If the coach speaks to me and tells me I won’t play in a game it’s something I need to accept and just get on with it," he told DAZN DACH (via Goal). "I’ve carried on working on making myself as fit and healthy as I could and it’s worked out for me.
"Now I’m playing, but of course it’s the coach’s decision if I play or not.
"I’ve had some injuries this season and I’ve had to miss some games. But I know when I’m fit I’ll play matches."
And following a poor showing in the Europa League final loss against Chelsea on Wednesday night, there has been fresh speculation over Ozil's future at the Emirates Stadium.
Reports suggesting that Unai Emery could be ready to offload the midfielder, along with other squad members in order to raise money for new incomings in a bid to bolster his squad in the summer transfer window.
With the Spaniard's transfer budget set to stand at £45m following the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League next season, selling Ozil could very well be Emery's best bet.
However, Ozil's agent has moved quickly to rebuff rumours, and the former Germany international has backed up his representative's claims, and is determined to see out the remainder of his contract.
"I don’t think there’s a chance of that to be honest," he said about a possible summer move.
"I’ve got two more years here and what happens afterwards is not in my hands. We’ll see then, but I’m proud to be at this club and really happy at this club."

WINNIPEG — A workshop on suicide prevention will get underway Monday at the University of Manitoba.
The College of Nursing, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences is hosting the full-day workshop with insights and perspectives from the indigenous community.
“Indigenous youth are five to six times more likely to die by suicide than their non-aboriginal counterparts,” said Elaine Mordoch, event organizer and associate professor at the College of Nursing.
“As a profession, we need to understand why this is happening in the communities around us.”
Kiskisi Paminamatowin — A Suicide Prevention Workshop: Lessons from Cross Lake Cree Nation will offer a day of sharing from an indigenous perspective. Speakers will include Cross Lake Chief Cathy Merrick, elder Jeff Wasteiscoot, and youth worker Morrison Ross.
“We know there are already suicide prevention programs in place, but we also know we don’t have all the answers,” said Mordoch. “The best thing we can do now is listen, learn and work together.”
The event, supported in part by the Winnipeg Suicide Prevention Network, runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Cross Common Room at St. John’s College.

The Supreme Court is holding oral arguments today in Tetra Tech Inc. v. Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR). The case provides an opportunity for the Wisconsin Supreme Court to address the deference Wisconsin courts afford regulatory agencies when interpreting statutory provisions that ultimately define agencies’ own power and reach.
The Supreme Court specifically requested parties brief the constitutionality of courts providing deference to agencies on questions of law. Great Lakes Legal Foundation filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of 11 Wisconsin associations, arguing that Wisconsin courts afford regulatory agencies too much deference to interpret statues that define agencies’ own power and reach.
In 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required several paper companies to remediate the environmental impact of harmful chemicals into the Fox River. The collective group of paper companies formed Fox River Remediation, which hired Tetra Tech to perform the remediation. Tetra Tech subsequently hired Stuyvesant Dredging, Inc. (SDI) as a subcontractor. DOR audited the entities and found that Tetra Tech owed sales tax on the portion of its sale for services to Fox River Remediation on SDI’s activities, and Fox River Remediation owed use tax on the purchase of remediation services from Tetra Tech on SDI’s activities. The entities filed petitions for redetermination with DOR, then with the Tax Appeals Commission. A Wisconsin circuit court, then appeals court upheld the commission’s ruling, giving great weight deference to DOR’s interpretation of tax statutes. The case is now being appealed again at the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

We stayed the week commencing 20th September on an A/I basis. We had emailed ahead and asked for a sea view room which we did get, it was very small and dim on the 1st floor overlooking the road. Would have liked a high floor as requested but accept that the hotel appeared to be very busy. The hotel was very clean and our room was cleaned daily with clean sheets and towels daily. I thought the food was very good with good choices although we ate out alternate nights because the town of Agios Nilolaos has just too many options to be stuck in a hotel. We never used the bar (canteen/community hall) as it was just not comfortable for a drink and the one time we went it felt like we were asking for something for nothing. We preferred to go out to the nice bars and had budgeted for that ahead of our trip. If we hadn't I would have been very dissapointed if I had to drink in the bar every night. The pool area is in need of a total refurb although it has a lovely view and the pool bar lady was very pleasant and friendly. Not enough loungers as previously mentioned. The staff here were nice and we had no problems with any of them. The hotel is in a good location but I would choose a different option when returning to Ag Nik (which we may not do due to the terrible Heraklion airport). All in all a nice holiday using the hotel as a base.

Christopher Awdry, born on July 2nd, 1940, is the son of Wilbert Awdry and Margaret Awdry, the nephew of George Awdry, brother of Veronica and Hilary, and father of Richard Awdry. He has written sixteen books of the Railway Series and many other spin-offs.
Life with Thomas
The first few stories of the Railway Series were created for Christopher when he was two and a half years old and sick with measles. He was later to revive the series by taking over from his father, the Reverend W. Awdry.
Ironically, his stories too started out as bedtime stories for his son, Richard, which he submitted to his father for a look at. Wilbert thought them good enough for publication and suggested that he send them off to Kaye and Ward to see what they thought.
Kaye and Ward were very keen with what they saw when Christopher's manuscript for Really Useful Engines landed on their desk. The endearing stories were back and Christopher played a very active part in Thomas for many years. He was even asked by Britt Allcroft to produce a few stories for the second series of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, due to a clause in the agreement that stated that all stories put to film must be in print form first.
Not only this, Christopher was also the writer for many of the yearly "Thomas" annual stories from 1985 to 1994. Christopher went on to produce sixteen titles of the Railway Series.
His involvement in Thomas since both the sale of the copyright and death of his father in 1997 has been largely limited, and not through his own choice, but that of the copyright holders. For a while Christopher was found to be touring promoting the real "Thomas" books, and appearing at many different events and writing new Railway-centred material on his own publishing group, Sodor Enterprises, which he ran with his wife Diana.
In 2007, Christopher's first Railway Series volume for over ten years was published - Thomas and Victoria - and the Awdry family opened their own online shop for selling Thomas-related merchandise, both Awdry and television series related. The shop, however, has been offline for quite some time and is believed to be defunct.
He was interviewed on BBC Breakfast, BBC Radio Devon, and BBC Radio Shropshire for Thomas' 65th Anniversary. He was also interviewed on ITV Wales News for his father's 100th birthday and again on BBC Radio Solent promoting Thomas and his Friends.
- Christopher Awdry also wrote a series of books about the engines of the Eastbourne Miniature Railway.
- Christopher has stated that his favourite character is Toby.
- Christopher Awdry wrote a book promoting restoration work on Corris Railway, based on real events called "Hugh goes Sliding". This was illustrated by railway transport artist Johnathan Clay.

I have worked at a variety of fishing lodges and am married to a man who has nearly twenty years of experience as a professional fly fishing guide. As such, it is with some amount of authority that I can speak to the very small community of Easie, as crafted by Robert J. Romano, Jr. in his trio of novels set in western Maine’s Lakes Region, and how they are shaped with accuracy, with charm, and with all the idiosyncrasy that comes with gruff backwoods fishermen (and women) who hold great big hearts hidden beneath their layers of flannel, and the communities that contain them.
Through the three-book series, which begins with North of Easie, continues with West of Rangeley, and concludes with Brook Trout Blues, we follow Salvatore D’Amico and Christine Bailey as they move through the seasons in a sport-centered town populated (mostly) by lovers of the natural world, coffee, and dogs.
Romano is skilled at weaving multiple narratives, zooming out on the mechanics of small town lives and community priorities, then further in on Salvatore’s life as a romantic partner, friend, father, and caretaker of animals. Further, he casts deeper (I had to) to flash bits of below-water imagery and angling insights which display the author’s vast knowledge of the lifestyle about which he writes.
Of the “sports,” or the clients Salvatore expertly steers through the waters of western Maine’s Lakes Region, Romano deftly shows the true range of workday experience a guide may have, depending on whether the sport is truly passionate about fishing or, say, passionate about having a photograph of himself appearing manly to pass around. (Salvatore’s character shows a great deal more patience toward the latter than my husband does these days.)
As I neared the final pages of Brook Trout Blues, I already missed the warm morning coffee at Books in the Woods with Bailey and Rose, a meal with the guys at The Wooden Nickel, or standing on the street chatting with Ronnie Adams or Ollie Stubbs. It’s a feeling I know well: as sport locales near the end of their seasons, things change. Folks transition with the weather, just as I do when I leave the lodge at which I work in Alaska and travel home for the winter to Oregon. There is a magic that exists in looking back at summer angling and the inhabitants of a world so focused on natural offerings; Romano captured it here.
Bob Romano lives in the northwest corner of New Jersey with his wife, Trish, and "the best puppy in the world," their Labrador retriever, Winslow Homer. Trish has contributed artwork and maps to each of her husband's books. For more than thirty years they have maintained a camp in the Rangeley Lakes Region of western Maine, which is where they spend much of their free time.

SIMCOE COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
Circles Canada program launches in Simcoe County to help break the cycle of poverty
On Friday, Mar. 3, the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) in partnership with the County of Simcoe’s Ontario Works Department, announced the launch of the Simcoe County Chapter of Circles Canada. The program, which will be based out of Midland and Penetanguishene, will help people break the cycle of poverty, find good jobs and become financially self-sufficient.
Supported by a Local Poverty Reduction Fund grant of $279,000, the program will be available to the community for three years and is comprised of the following three sub-programs:
- Bridges out of Poverty
- Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin’ By World
Circles is based on a supportive relationship comprised of a Circle Leader (an individual/family working to get out of poverty who has completed the Getting Ahead workshop), and two to four community Allies (middle class individuals who have completed a Bridges Out of Poverty workshop) who are willing to befriend the individual/family, and provide support.
The SCDSB in partnership with the County of Simcoe is committed to engaging and supporting willing members of Simcoe County to participate in the Circles Canada program.
“The SCDSB is proud to work on this project with our community partners,” says Peter Beacock, SCDSB board chair. “Together we can support members of our communities in making their lives and those of their families better.”
“We thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for supporting local poverty reduction initiatives and we look forward to working with the SCDSB as we provide our most vulnerable residents with a boost out of poverty and a path towards possibility,” says County of Simcoe Warden, Gerry Marshall.
This initiative and the research arising from it is one of 30 projects across Ontario funded through Ontario's Local Poverty Reduction Fund, which is administered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The fund invests over $16 million to support innovative, community-led programs that help groups disproportionately affected by poverty get into housing, develop skills and find employment, including women, single parents, people with disabilities, youth, newcomers, visible minorities, seniors and Indigenous Peoples. The data collected will contribute to a body of knowledge that will support poverty reduction programs across the province.

Public lands council hears agency updates
At the recent public lands council meeting, Emery County Public Lands Administrator Ray Petersen, who covers access for the public lands council, informed the council that a meeting had taken place concerning the trail between Huntington Canyon and the Des-Bee-Dove road. This trail has been used in the past for an OHV poker ride during Huntington's Heritage Days. A request was made to the county commissioners to apply for the rights-of-way from SITLA to this area.
One issue raised in the meeting concerning this trail is the RS-2477 rights on this trail. Many other issues concerning the county's acquisition of the easement to this trail were also brought forward. Petersen stated the next meeting of this committee will be Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. in the public lands office in the county building.
Petersen also stated the Emery County Commissioners are attending the Utah Association of Governments conference where the ongoing RS-2477 issues will be discussed. Their reports will be presented at next month's meeting.
Gary Petty, who presides over the forest service issues for the public lands council reported he has attended several meetings with the forest service. These meetings have been centered around the issues of the beetle killed trees and wildlife protection surrounding those killed trees. "Should there be a forest fire, the stands of dead pines trees will virtually explode, and the wildlife habitat would be destroyed. Not only that, but that is our watershed and I see a real potential for disaster for Emery County. It appears to me that the forest service is doing all they can do at this time to deal with the issue of the dead trees," said Petty. "The prescribed burns that were planned have not been done due to the wet weather in October, but the forest service will keep doing what they can."
Petersen mentioned the five year plan the forest service has in place. He stated the plan has a fuels reduction component and several projects have been completed. "As far as the beetle killed trees, the damage has been done here, it is too late. The forest service is doing some spraying, but it is mostly too late," said Petersen.
Vernell Rowley, who covers heritage of public lands, reported a meeting was held recently concerning the Old Spanish Trail. This meeting concerned the agencies involved in the national trails committee, and the Old Spanish Trail has definitely been named to the national register. The trail has three unique items pertaining to Emery County.
Two of those items are points where the trail crosses water, one being the Huntington Creek and the other being the Green River crossing. The third item of uniqueness is that 85 miles of the Old Spanish Trail is in Emery County.
Petersen mentioned the resource management plan that will be issued by the BLM now has a section that specifically addresses the Old Spanish Trail.
Bruce Wilson, council chairman, reported on the mining, minerals, and coal bed methane. He said SUFCO mine is having problems with their drilling rigs. The small rigs that have been brought in have tested the coal in the upper seam, and it has been found unsatisfactory. Bigger rigs will need to be brought in to drill into the lower seam. If the findings on the quality of that coal are the same as the upper seam, the project will be abandoned.
Wilson also stated that XTO has donated $600 to the Emery County Fire District. He also mentioned that XTO is attempting to amend their permit concerning their pumps and pumping stations. The change will enable them to pump more product.
A new mine is being proposed near the town of Scofield. The owners are applying for the necessary permits. Also, the recent court decision has set the Rilda Canyon project back. Petersen stated at a recent meeting concerning the Lila Canyon Mine, John Baza from the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, declared a close to the informal hearing concerning the project. A decision will come within 60 days of the final date of the end of the hearing process.
Petersen reported the project at the Wedge is mostly completed. The road has been graveled, and the parking area near the restroom has been finished. The final decision is not to address camping in this area at this time. Camping should remain the same as in past years. New picnic tables have been placed in the area. Petersen also noted no dust suppression for the road was allowed in the permit.
Wayne Luddington of the BLM noted there is still some clean up to do at the site, along with delineation of campsites. Informational kiosks and more signs will be placed in the area as soon as they are available.
Petersen informed Sherrel Ward, who is over the water for the public lands council, the recommendations recently made by the NRCS to lower participation rates to 50 percent has alarmed many people. The Huntington irrigation project which involves the installation of sprinkler systems has been guaranteed to be completed at the old rate of 75 percent. Any other projects concerning the Colorado River Salinity Project will be taken on a case by case basis.
Ward informed the council that negotiations with CW Mining have been completed concerning the perentages of water. The Mohrland portal is proposed to open in 2007 and the Hiawatha portal is proposed to open in 2008. These are located on private property.
Luddington told the council of the hiring of Bill Allinson. The BLM has secured money from OHV funds to hire Allinson as the OHV volunteer coordinator. So far, Allinson has logged more than 200 volunteer hours in several trail maintenance projects throughout the area. A new map for the San Rafael Swell OHV trails has been proposed. A committee has been formed to undertake this project.
Another project being undertaken by the BLM is the remodeling of the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. The visitor center at the quarry will be expanded, and the observation platforms will be redone. Along with the other upgrades, new sidewalks will be installed. Luddington stated the BLM hopes to have this project completed by April.
Sgt. Carl Gramlich of the Division of Wildlife Resources reported concerning the hunting seasons. He said the weather this year was quite different from last year. As a result, the animals are more dispersed and harder to find. The final numbers of the success of hunters will be known at a later date. He also stated that if someone is having problems with beavers in the waterways, call Casey Olsen or Jay Topham with the DWR, and they will help.
Bryan Torgersen from SITLA informed the council of a new project coming in the near future. The project will be drilling for oil and gas in the Drunkard's Wash area on SITLA managed property. He mentioned negotiations are ongoing with the DWR concerning SITLA managing some lands in the Range Creek area for the University of Utah.
As a final act of the public lands council for November, it was approved to begin the advertising process for the four seats on the council that will become vacant at the end of the year. Petersen explained the seats now held by Bruce Wilson, Vernell Rowley, Clyde Magnuson, and Sherrel Ward will be available. Those members who now hold those seats are eligible to reapply.
The next public lands council meeting will be Dec. 13 at 10 a.m. in the county building.


Number of people waiting for disabled-friendly homes increased by 17% in last five years
23 December 2015
The number of disabled people on housing waiting lists in England has increased by over 17% in the last five years. But the total number of people waiting for a home has fallen by 21% in the same period.
We have found thousands of disabled and older people are trapped in unsuitable homes, unable to move around freely.
Currently, one in seven people on housing waiting lists in England is disabled, up from one in 11 people five years ago.
Many people are stuck downstairs and face the daily nightmare of washing at their kitchen sink, sleeping in their living room, using a commode for a toilet, and struggling to get in and out of their front doors.
Disabled people trapped in inaccessible homes have been let down by councils and housebuilders.
Returning home to Torbay in Devon after 14 weeks in hospital, 53-year-old Sue was unable to get upstairs and has been confined to the ground floor of her house ever since, sleeping in her lounge and washing in her kitchen sink.
Once a week she visits a local Leonard Cheshire Disability care home to take a bath. Sue has been on the housing waiting list for three and a half years.
‘I face spending another Christmas alone, as it’s difficult for me to reach my family who are hundreds of miles away.
‘I’m not easily able to host anyone at home either. If people come to visit, they have to leave the house when I use the toilet because it has no door on.
‘It’s the only way I can get my wheelchair in, and even then it’s a tight squeeze. My life feels like it is getting more difficult.
‘Having somewhere suitable to live, where I can move around freely, be able to shower, and sleep in a bedroom and not on an electric bed in my lounge would make all the difference.’
Inaccessible housing can lead to physical injuries and mental health problems, and increases the demand for social care for people who need help to wash and cook due to constraints in their home.
We believe councils and housing developers are failing disabled and older people, and want councils to make it mandatory for developers to include ‘Lifetime Homes’ in their building plans.
Lifetime Homes are ordinary houses and flats which incorporate 16 design criteria that can be universally applied to new homes for an average cost of only £1,100. For example, Lifetime Homes have walls strong enough to fit grab rails near the bath or shower, wider doors to allow wheelchairs in if needed and wide enough stairs to fit stair lifts.
A report Landman Economics, commissioned by Leonard Cheshire Disability, looked at the cost implication from the lack of accessible homes in the UK. It found:
- If all UK homes had been built to Lifetime Home Standards, and all the necessary adaptations for disabled people were made to them, the Treasury would now be saving £1.6bn every year, mostly in health and social care costs. If every social home had been built to Lifetime Home Standards then the Treasury would be saving almost £500m every year.
- If every new home was built to Lifetime Home Standards, and every necessary adaptation was made to them, they would pay for themselves within 20 years, which is about 40% of the typical lifespan of a house.
- If housing developers were required to cover the initial cost of building Lifetime Homes, councils would recoup their investment within 10 years.
Differences with Scotland
In Scotland, the total number of disabled people on housing waiting lists has fallen by 18.2%, while the number of people on housing waiting lists has fallen by 11% over the past five years.
This suggests the positive steps taken by the Scottish government to deliver more disabled-friendly homes since 2007 has contributed to the decline in the number of disabled people on housing waiting lists.
Message from our chief executive
Our chief executive, Clare Pelham, said:
‘Christmas is a joyful time for many people, a day spent surrounded by friends and family but thousands of disabled people will be unable to get in and out of their front doors to visit the people they love because they are trapped in inaccessible homes.
‘Worse still, they cannot host people at home when their kitchens are their bathrooms, and their lounges are their bedrooms.
‘We are urging councils to insist developers build homes to disabled-friendly standards.
‘Doing so costs councils nothing, and will save millions of pounds in health and social care costs now and in the future.
‘Councils should make it their New Year’s resolution to ensure housing in their area is suitable for all their residents.
‘It is not just disabled people who benefit from wider corridors and downstairs toilets. Good design is good for all — parents with pushchairs, older people and toddlers all benefit from Lifetime Homes.’
We are calling on councils to ensure housing developers embrace being ‘disabled-friendly’ by building all new homes so they are easy to adapt to people’s needs.
Further, 10% of large developments should be fully wheelchair accessible so disabled people can live independently and are able to pursue job opportunities across the country.
Find out more about the lack of disabled-friendly homes through our Home Truths campaign.
We sent a Freedom of Information request to 325 local authorities in England and 32 local authorities in Scotland asking how many households including one or more disabled people were on their housing waiting lists over the past five years.
We received responses from 311 local authorities in England and 30 local authorities in Scotland, though some were only able to provide partial data — including many who could only provide data for the current year — and some could not provide any at all.
The table below sets out how many local authorities provided data by year:
In order to ensure the results were comparable across the five years, we scaled up the responses based on the population of the local authorities which were able to provide data.
For example, in 2014/15 the 186 English local authorities which were able to provide data had a total population of 31.7 million people, out of the total population in England of 53.0 million people (based on the 2011 census).
Those authorities reported there were just over 110,000 disabled people on their housing waiting lists. To estimate the total number of disabled people on housing waiting lists nationally, we divided 110,00 by the proportion of the national population (31.7m/53.0m) covered by the local authorities to estimate a total of 187,000 disabled people on housing waiting lists across England. We followed the same approach in Scotland, and estimate a total of 30,000 disabled people on housing waiting lists in Scotland in 2014/15.

ECB finalized the guide on assessment methodology for the internal model method for calculating exposure to counterparty credit risk (CCR) and the advanced method for own funds requirements for credit valuation adjustment (A-CVA) risk. Under European Union law, banks are allowed to use internal models to calculate the value of their exposures to CCR and CVA risk as long as these models meet regulatory requirements. This guide explains the ECB methodology to assess the validity of such models, especially in internal model investigations. ECB also published a feedback statement on the comments received during the consultation on the draft guide.
The guide is to be applied in the context of any CCR-related internal model investigation—before or after approval—and the ongoing monitoring of approved internal models. It outlines, for supervisors, how ECB intends to investigate compliance with the existing legal framework when performing these tasks. The assessment methodology determines which model components need to be investigated by supervisors and the minimum level of depth and detail needed to form a supervisory judgment on the model's compliance with the existing regulation. The guide provides optional guidance to significant institutions on the self-assessment of their internal model method and A-CVA models. The guide is also relevant when banks apply to extend or make changes to their models as well as for the ongoing monitoring of such models by ECB. The guide aims to harmonize supervisory practices related to the internal counterparty credit risk models and to provide transparency regarding the methodologies ECB uses to assess the components of these models during investigations.

You might not know it but if you put your memory stick into your Haas control then press and hold SHIFT as you press F1 you get a Haas screenshot or a (Haas screen capture) on your memory stick.
It is really useful if you need help because you can save a record of what is on the screen.
With this Haas Screen Capture. You could use it for set up sheets. It will also be useful if you want to create training literature.
If you want to enter a name for your screen capture just input it before doing the above.
I love the fact that Haas are constantly improving their products the machines are so well thought out. They were the first ones to incorporate a coolant hose to clean down the machine.
I notice now some things do come as extras but they still come well loaded. It’s not like when you buy a car and you find that all the things that really attracted you to it (don’t we just love the toys) are extras.
Just having a memory stick on a machine is really good. I cant help but think that it seems to be taking so long for machine tool companies to really get to grips with technology.
Sometimes when I am training people who never worked a CNC before I feel embarrassed to say “oh the memory is like the size of a 1980’s calculator”
The editing on some controls (and I won’t name names, as I can’t retire yet) is poor to say the least. Students used to using a PC expect to be able to easily COPY and PASTE bits of programme.
Good luck with that one.
Fanuc Screen Capture
Where’s The UNDO Button?
UNDO (don’t even go there) some do have it. But wouldn’t it be great if you could UNDO things like offset changes. These things are gradually coming in on new controls but I can’t believe how slow it’s all been.
And you thought this articcle was just about taking a Haas Screenshot
Anyway I’m rambling again (only doing it to get the word count up), I will be using this Haas Screen Capture all the time. Typical Haas practical, user friendly. Keep up the good work boys.
Fanuc Screen Shot
Yes Fanuc Does it Too
Go to a screen you would like to capture.
Press and hold the [SHIFT] button for 5 seconds.
The control appears to lock up for about 15 seconds.
Once it frees up an image will be on your memory stick or memory card.
Please contact me if you require:
- CNC programming training.
- Want to learn CNC programming.
- Fanuc control training.

Mark Shepard’s outstanding book Restoration Agriculture has made his nut tree breeding program famous. We are the exclusive Ontario importer of Mark’s stock. Here’s the description from his website for Hybrid Chestnut:
Chestnuts are high carbohydrate and low oil.
Essentially, corn that grows on trees!
With genetic origins from Minnesota, Oregon and Ontario, these are the only chestnuts to produce reliably on the home farm in SW Wisconsin. Our breeding goals within our own seed plots include high yields, large nuts, pest and disease resistance and suitability for low-input and certified organic conditions. Most nuts are NOT as large as Chinese chestnut. Some hybrids will be susceptible to chestnut blight depending on the expression of their American genetics.

Synopsis by Gönül Dönmez-Colin
Experimental filmmaker and elder statesman Miklós Jancsó's surreal allegory about the present stands out with its twisted humor -- a cemetery is the film's starting point and leitmotif. The protagonists, Kapa and Pepe, are two gravediggers who sit on a little bench in the cemetery and while away the time fooling around with the world (including Jancsó and screenwriter Gyula Hernadi, who appear as themselves). The gravediggers are at the same time hoodlums, bankers, lawyers, nouveau riche, bankrupt entrepreneurs and terrorists. One thing is certain; they are indestructible. They are like the director and the screenwriter, who get shot because their names are on a list, but little do they care. In the meanwhile, the audience is greatly entertained with a lot of humor. Instead of a story, there are several episodes, and life, death, success and failure, philosophy, humor and satire are all mixed in these seemingly disconnected episodes. What connects them is the locale; they all take place in Budapest, where anything can happen. Nekem Lampast Adott Kezembe az ur Pesten earned the Gene Moskowitz foreign critics award at the 30th Annual Hungarian Film Week festival in 1999 and it was also screened as part of the International Forum of New Cinema section of the 49th Berlin Film Festival, 1999.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWe answer some of the most common questions about McGeorge Brothers Chem-Dry of Kansas City!
Does McGeorge Brothers Chem-Dry offer coupons, specials or promo codes for carpet cleaning?
Yes! McGeorge Brothers Chem-Dry does occasionally offer coupons and special promotions. You can find our current coupons on our Coupons page. You should also follow us on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter to get the latest carpet cleaning coupons and to receive notifications about any new deals.
Are Chem-Dry products safe for my kids and pets?
All of the ingredients in Chem-Dry’s primary cleaner, The Natural®, are on the F.D.A.’s G.R.A.S. (Generally Recognized as Safe) list. It is safe for your carpets, home, family, and the environment. Like the name states, The Natural® doesn’t contain any harsh soaps or chemicals and is composed of safe natural elements.
Is Chem-Dry the same as steam cleaning?
No. McGeorge Brothers Chem-Dry is not a steam cleaner. We use a carbonated cleaning solution combined with powerful suction to lift and remove dirt and grime from your carpets. As a result, we do not need to use the gallons of water that traditional steam cleaning uses. Continue on to the next question below to see how Chem-Dry compares to steam cleaning.
How does Chem-Dry compare to steam cleaning?
Traditional steam cleaning soaks your carpet with excessive water, soaps, and detergents. Their process leaves you with wet carpets for 1-2 days and creates a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and harmful bacteria. Additionally, the soapy residue left behind attracts dirt and causes your carpets to get dirty again much faster.
McGeorge Brothers Chem-Dry’s process is very different. We use a carbonated cleaning solution, called The Natural®, that employs millions of microscopic bubbles to explode dirt from deep in your carpet fibers. The use of carbonation allows us to use a fraction of the water that steam cleaners require. After the carbonation releases and lifts the dirt, our high powered equipment agitates and extracts the dirt and moisture from the carpet. No sticky residue, no excessive moisture – just clean, healthy carpet and fast dry times.
What type of chemicals does Chem-Dry use?
What is the best carpet cleaning method?
Why do I need protectant on my carpets?
How do you remove pet urine odor from carpets?
Pet odors can linger for months if not treated properly. As urine dries in the carpet and padding, what’s left are millions of concentrated urine crystals that become even more pungent. Many companies just mask this odor with chemicals. Chem-Dry uses a patented system called P.U.R.T.®, (Pet Urine Removal Treatment), to literally explode the urine crystals and break down the enzymes, which gets rid of the pet urine odor forever.
Will my carpets re-soil quickly after the cleaning is finished?
How long will it take for my carpet to dry completely?
How often should I have my carpets cleaned?
Should I vacuum before you arrive?
This is not necessary. Our professionally trained technicians will vacuum your carpets with our commercial HEPA-filtered vacuum when they arrive as a standard part of our service.
Why does Chem-Dry not use as much water to clean my carpets as steam cleaning does?
Can other carpet cleaning methods actually hurt my carpets?
What is considered a room?
How long does it take for furniture to dry?
Do you offer protectant or stain guard for upholstery?
How does Chem-Dry clean upholstery?
How often do upholstery manufacturers recommend that you clean your furniture?

The phone rang. A loved one was calling me at an unusual time of day which immediately put me on guard.
"I need to tell you something, but I am not sure how.".....
We all know these moments. The ones that shake our foundation and rock us to the core.
A few years ago, an experience like this would have put me into an emotional tail spin, followed by over-analyzing the situation, topped off with anxiety and panic attacks. Yet, over these past few years as I have dove deep into claiming and honoring the core of who I am, external situations have less and less influence over how I feel, how I show up, and no longer shift my internal compass.
Standing firm in who you are
The Solar Plexus Chakra.
It hasn't always been easy to remain firm and aligned in who I am in. I knew who I was on the inside yet the school of 'life', being taught to be professional, training as a midwife, and all of the business advice I ran across suggested putting your best self forward, thus creating a persona that was not an absolute direct reflection of who I am.
Claiming expansive energy (vs contracted) means standing firm in who you are regardless of situations, circumstances, or company. Before, I only let little bits of myself be seen to different people or at different times based on how safe I felt to show up.
Over the past few years, I have found my ability to stand firmly in who I am as I have dug more deeply into this work. It has been a journey and one that I would go through over and over again to get to where I am today.
Spending time unburying our unique self is powerful since most of us have been buried under societal should's, have to's, be polite, don't let them see you cry, you can't rely on anyone, you have to work hard for your money, blah, blah, blah. When we break free from the pack who continue to choose to live this way, who we truly are at the core begins to emerge and bloom.
This is what sets us a part from everyone else.
Often, when beginning the journey of stepping into our gifts, it is easy to be influenced by those we have followed or admired. It is common to feel like there are so many people already doing what we want to do, so why should we even bother? How can we be seen among the sea of similar gifts, offerings, etc?
The trick- dig in and discover what makes you uniquely you, and share from that place.
As you may have recently noticed, my everyday life personality has come to the forefront of my business. In my Earth Changers Guide to Magic, Abundance and more 'Hell YES's, I share some of the most important questions you can ask yourself to connect more deeply with the core of who you are and what you long for. But more importantly, you will notice that some Fuck's slip out every once in a while because that is how I really truly speak in my daily life.
My rebrand and website came from my Solar Plexus. It felt like it was time to own, share and shine from the core of who I am and the work I long to share with the world.
The Solar Plexus work is one of the most important aspects of building a business and we dive deep with the work in the Earth Changer's Mastermind because I firmly believe you will make a massive impact when you step fully into who you are and the gifts you have to share with the world. It is what being an Earth Changer is all about.
Next week, I will be sharing about the Heart Chakra and the gifts it brings to life and business.
Until then...all love to you!

IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF ELECTRONIC
IMPORTANT If you are a student of electrical engineering or wants to need information related to electrical engineering, then first you have to know the various components and essential equipments of electric.Without knowing all this you won’t be able to make any circuit.
There’s need of many components for making a circuit and it’s depends upon the type of circuit you want to be made for example resistance, capacitor, LED, transistor etc .
In this topic you are given knowledge about various components , equipments of electronics.
TYPE OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
Electronic components are divided into three main parts ….
1- active electronic components
2- passive electronic components
3- electromechinal components
Through this topic we are telling you about each component one by one so that you gain more knowledge and understand the each component.
Integrated circuit is a single device or a chip which is made up of semiconductor material ,mostly silicon is used . Integrated circuit is used in almost all electronic devices like TV , radio , mobile phone , laptop etc.
Integrated circuit further divided into two groups…
1- analog integrated circuit
2- Digital integrated circuit
Further more information also given below in the link.
In recent times microcontroller was a small computer which was made of integrated circuit.It was comprised of RAM,CPU, INPUT/OUTPUT etc .All these are programmable components which were used in small computers for use in recent times.
It is a electrical component like diode , capacitor etc.It is used to control the flow of current in the circuit. Resistor are of many types but mainly they are divided into two parts-
1- Fixed resistor
2- Variable resistor
Further information are given below in the link.
What is resistor and how many types it have?
Diode is a non linear semiconductor device which flows the current in one direction.It has two terminals called anode and cathode .Its electronic symbol is given below…
A normal PN diode is used to transfer AC supply to DC circuit and you heard well about LED light emitting diode which is a semiconductor device which emits light after activation.
ZENER DIODE is Just like a normal diode but work as a voltage stabilizer.Further details about diode are given below in link in separate topic.
Capicitor is an electronic component that is used in almost in all circuits, such as radio ,television,etc.Cappacitors can store electric charge. Capacitors two conductors are commonly made of two plates and between these two plates, the dye electric material is planted so that it becomes detached. When the capacitors are added to a power source, it stores the electric charge. And both the plates in it are used to store charging .One have a positive charge on a plate and negative charge on another.
More information about this is given in one of our posts whose link is given below.
The Amount of electric charge charged inside the capacitors at 1 volt is called capacitance. The unit of measuring capecites is Farad (F). The number of plates inside the capacitors can also be increased to capacitance.
Same as capacitor saved electric field in the form of energy , inductors stores the magnetic field in the form of energy . Inductor is a wire but in form of coil.It is used in AC circuits like filter, chokes, tuned circuit etc.
Switches are used to on and off the circuit.Switches are of many types .Some are analog and some are digital.In our houses normal switches are used.
DC POWER SUPPLY
DC power supply is very essential part in the circuit.Most of the electronic components run on the DC power supply so that it is very important .There are many electric sources for DC supply like AC to DC power supplies, linear regulators, switching mode power supply etc.
In electric circuit 5V to 12V DC power supply is used because every component used such DC power supply.
The battery is a device that turns chemical energy into electrical energy and the battery is used in mobile phone, laptop ,clock etc. Moreover, it is also used in many testing equipment. You are often seen in watches, we use cell that supply 1.5 V and the same two cells of 3V we use in the TV remote.
The batteries are divided into different categories depending on their voltage as you can see in the photo above here we see three types of batteries, one is 9V , second is 1.5 V and third is 12V. They are used on the bases of their voltage.
As we know display plays an important role in all electric equipment .Two main display which are used are
1- 16*2 LCD
2- 7-segment display
You can see this type of display in watches, information systems. this type of display is used where we needed digits numbers or alphabets.
Earlier Voltage, current and resistance are measured by voltmeter, ammeter, ohmmeter but now a days all these three include in one and named as multimeter.In multimeter voltage, current, resistance can be easily measured.
Besides this many other advanced multimeter came in in which we can also check transistor.
Multimeter can measure both AC and DC supply and there are two types of multimeter today digital and analog but in today’s time the digital multimeter is used very much as it can measure any component very well. There are also many more electronic component but what is important and most used is that component we have told you here. Here you know about Resistor, capacitor, microcontroller, inductor, transformer, Battery, Fuse, diode/ Besides the LED (Light Emitting diode), transistors, integrated circuit, switches, circuit breakers if you want to know more about component, ask by commenting below.

People who have been treated for hyperthyroidism (underactive thyroid) like Graves' disease, and received radioactive iodine may be left with little or no functioning thyroid tissue after treatment. The likelihood of this depends on a number of factors including the dose of iodine given, along with the size and the activity of the thyroid gland. If there is no significant activity of the thyroid gland six months after the radioactive iodine treatment it usually means that the thyroid gland no longer functioning adequately. The result is hypothyroidism. Similarly, removal of the thyroid gland during surgery cause hypothyroidism.
Dr. George Springer has practiced alternative medicine for 31 years with an emphasis on treating chronic disease conditions. He received his undergraduate BA from the University of Missouri in St. Louis and his Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) from Logan University where he graduated magna cum laude. He went on to receive his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.M.D.) from the American Naturopathic Medical Institute a division of Breyer State University in Los Angeles, California.
Soy for thyroid health is controversial: There's some research that suggests soy might negatively affect your thyroid gland under certain circumstances, like if you have an iodine deficiency. (Something to keep in mind: A 2011 study of vegetarians and vegans in the Boston area found that some vegans did have a mild iodine deficiency, most likely because they don't eat animal and dairy products). But other research presented at the 2014 Endocrine Society's annual meeting found that unless you have thyroid problems already, soy probably won't have any effect on it. Again, says Ilic, as long as you're eating normal amounts of soy, there's no reason to worry it'll hurt your thyroid.
In the developed world, where protein is plentiful and many countries add iodine to salt and processed foods, we don’t typically need to worry about protein malnutrition or iodine deficiency. However, the rest of the world is not so lucky. More than 2 billion people around the world suffer from hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency. 2 billion! We are told that the reason for this planetary epidemic is that iodine comes from the ocean, and that the soil of inland areas has had most of its iodine washed away over time by erosion:
Your mood is especially susceptible to changes in hormone levels, so some people with hypothyroidism deal with depression, anxiety, trouble getting good sleep and low immunity. The thyroid gland helps regulate chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which control your emotions and nerve signaling. This is the reason an out-of-balance thyroid can mean drastic emotional changes at times.
60 patients with borderline hypothyroidism were given either 2 mg of soy isoflavones (the amount found in the typical omnivore’s diet) or 16 mg of soy isoflavones (the amount found in the typical vegetarian’s diet). The “vegetarian” dose of soy isoflavones was 3 times more likely to cause patients to convert from borderline (“subclinical”) hypothyroidism to full-blown (“overt clinical”) hypothyroidism.
Hi dr jockers. Can you reverse the autoimmunity? I have high levels of tpo antibodies (89), normal T3 T4, estrogen dominant, low vit D, low iron, low T. I know that my body is undergoing an autoimmunity with joint pain, eczema, hair loss, raynauds….. Would love to know I can reverse this vicious struck my body is on. Thank you in advance for a reply,
Try this: Cut apples crosswise (don’t peel them—the skin is the richest source of pectin!), dredge in brown sugar, then pan-fry in coconut oil until tender; top with shredded basil and crumbled blue cheese. Spiralize a whole apple with skin, lightly steam in apple juice until tender, and serve with yogurt, hemp seeds, and blueberries as a breakfast noodle bowl. Simmer chopped apples, parsnips, shallots, and sprigs of thyme in broth until tender; remove thyme sprigs and purée until smooth; top with additional thyme and a dollop of crème fraîche.
To find out if you have hypothyroidism, your doctor will run blood tests to check for levels of the hormones known as T4 (thyroxine) and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). Hypothyroidism is diagnosed in your thyroid test when TSH is high. Sometimes, TSH can be high, but the thyroid is still producing enough hormones. This condition is referred to as subclinical (or mild) hypothyroidism.
Thus, neither desiccated thyroid nor l-thyroxine monotherapy recreates a biochemical state of euthyroidism as defined by the serum T4:T3 ratio. l-Thyroxine and l-triiodothyronine combination therapy theoretically could be titrated to restore this measure, but such a method would be challenging because of the frequent dosing schedule needed to achieve stable serum T3 levels (5). New technology is needed to allow for steady delivery of l-thyroxine; only then would high-quality clinical trials best investigate the utility of the serum T4:T3 ratio as an outcome measure in hypothyroidism.
Could kale, that superstar among superfoods, actually not be quite so awesome? Kale is a mild goitrogen -- in rare cases it prevents the thyroid from getting enough iodine. But kale shouldn't be a problem for you unless you get very little iodine in your diet and you’re eating large amounts of kale. This is also the case for cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
Those with hypothyroidism may want to consider minimizing their intake of gluten, a protein found in foods processed from wheat, barley, rye, and other grains, says Ruth Frechman, RDN, a dietitian in the Los Angeles area and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. And if you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, gluten can irritate the small intestine, and may hamper absorption of thyroid hormone replacement medication.

Reds enter camp eyeing bounce-back year
Club counting on returning players to regain form in 2015
CINCINNATI -- To many observers this offseason, the Reds were an enigmatic club in numerous ways. As Spring Training approaches this week, it has become no less difficult to predict how they will perform in 2015.
Coming off of a disappointing 76-win 2014 season, Cincinnati certainly needed to improve and make upgrades. However, while general manager Walt Jocketty made some moves, he wasn't dynamic or splashy with the additions like some of the other teams. Faced with a closing window to contend and key players nearing free agency, the Reds also didn't blow up their roster and start a rebuilding process. But they did trade two quality starting pitchers (Mat Latos, Alfredo Simon) for a return of young talent.
Instead, this is a team that is putting most of its faith into the hands of returning players already on the roster -- several of whom are coming off injuries or down years.
Many of the statements about the 2015 Reds begin with, "If."
• If Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips are healthy again and productive ...
• If Todd Frazier and Devin Mesoraco continue their trend upward as hitters ...
• If Homer Bailey can return from right arm surgery and form a 1-2-3 punch at the top of the rotation with ace Johnny Cueto and No. 3 starter Mike Leake ...
• If Billy Hamilton gets on base more often and also improves his stolen-base percentage ...
• If the bullpen can rebound from a poor 2014 ...
Should most or all of those "ifs" work out positively in their favor -- especially regarding Votto -- the Reds should be contenders in the National League Central.
"We just have to worry about winning, worry about being team-oriented and keep going along and being healthy," Frazier said before dropping an "if" of his own. "If we're healthy, we have a real good shot of being champions in the [NL] Central Division."
Division rivals, of course, have a say in the outcome, too, and the NL Central appears to be the toughest of all entering this season. The defending-champion Cardinals added Jason Heyward to an already strong lineup. The Cubs declared they want their recent futile seasons to end with the additions of ace Jon Lester, manager Joe Maddon and catcher Miguel Montero. The Brewers and Pirates have similar rosters that carried them well in the race last year.
Reds manager Bryan Price, entering his second season on the job, hasn't lowered his expectations based on what happened in 2014 or by what the rest of the division has done over the offseason.
"We anticipate having a big bounce-back year," Price said last month. "We should be held accountable to come back and play much better than we did last year."
Jocketty did make some acquisitions aimed at upgrading deficiencies in left field, the bullpen and the bench. Since left fielder Marlon Byrd was acquired in a trade from the Phillies on Dec. 31, the Reds made a flurry of moves in recent weeks to take advantage of potential bargains.
"We knew we would have to wait until the end to finalize our roster," Jocketty said. "Getting Byrd when we did took some of the pressure off, and he's a big asset. The last couple of weeks, we rounded out the bullpen. I feel much better about our club going into camp."
Here is a look at some key dates ahead:
Pitchers and catchers report
Wednesday, with the first workout on Thursday
Full squad reports
Feb. 23, with the first full-squad workout on Feb. 24
First Spring Training game
Home vs. Indians, March 3, 3:05 p.m. ET
Home vs. Pirates, April 6, 4:10 p.m. ET

Leukemia Home > Gleevec Uses
Can Older Adults Use Gleevec?Gleevec can be used in older adults. In clinical studies, older adults had a higher risk for developing edema (swelling due to retention of body fluids). Therefore, older adults may need more careful monitoring during treatment.
Off-Label Gleevec UsesOn occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend this medicine for something other than the conditions discussed in this article. This is called an "off-label" use. Gleevec may be used off-label to treat the following conditions:
- Liver cancer
- Uterine cancer (endometrial cancer)
- Other bone marrow and blood disorders, such as polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
Studies have looked at using Gleevec for the treatment of other types of cancer, including thyroid, ovarian, and prostate cancer. Based on study results, it appears to be ineffective for ovarian and prostate cancer. Studies in thyroid cancer are ongoing.

A café owner and campaigner for the homeless is fundraising to try and get every rough sleeper in Hull in a hotel for Christmas.
Carl Simpson is hoping to amass £2,000 so he can feed and provide a roof for around 30 homeless people in Hull on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
The 49-year-old, who founded Raise The Roof Hull Homeless Project, was left devastated when a number of homeless people in Hull died over the festive period last year - some of whom committed suicide.
According to Mr Simpson, Christmas can cause rough sleepers to become depressed as they reflect on how their lives have changed but he is determined to put a roof over their heads and give them hope for the future.
“Christmas is the worst period for suicide and we want to get homeless people off the street and somewhere safe where they can enjoy Christmas,” he said.
“Some people have to decide whether to feed their families, put on the heating or pay the rent and most of the time it’s the rent that gets left behind and people get evicted at this time of year.
“Last year, we ran a soup kitchen on Christmas Eve and it was heartbreaking to see so many people attend.
“It was heartbreaking to know that they were waking up Christmas Day morning on their own."
So far, a GoFundMe page has raised £220 and Mr Simpson is hoping to raise money through The Ultimate Xmas Party - a festive extravaganza at the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby on December 18.
The night will include entertainment from a host of well-known faces including Dene Michael of Black Lace who will be forever remembered for 80s hit Agadoo.
In the past, Mr Simpson, who runs Hedon-based 1st Street Catering & Cafe, has been overwhelmed by the level of support shown to him by the people of Hull in the past.
Now, he is urging the public to donate to prevent those less fortunate from being alone on Christmas Day.
“It would be absolutely fantastic if we could do it,” he said.
“I’ve been doing projects with the homeless for a long time and the support we’ve had from the people of Hull has always been tremendous.
“They’ve always got behind us and if we could pull this off it would be phenomenal.
“If we can save one life this Christmas and make people more comfortable it would mean the world to us.”
As part of the planned festive package, Hull dominatrix Julie Preston will put on a roast dinner for the homeless on Christmas Eve.
They will also receive a free haircut before spending two nights a hotel.
When they leave on Boxing Day, they will be offered toiletries and fresh, clean clothes.
You can donate to the GoFundMe page by clicking here.
Tickets for The Ultimate Xmas Party start from £6 with more information about the event available through Facebook.
Mr Simpson is also hoping to reunite homeless people with their loved ones through a Christmas card appeal.
Cards have been dropped off at hostels across Hull in the hope that rough sleepers can write to their families with a contact number so they can be reconnected over the festive period.
Anyone wanting to get involved should drop cards and stamps off at Sainsbury's in Hull Road, Hedon.


But then all sudden, new Jazz is launch under Honda Fit in Japan .This all-new Honda Jazz that will go on sale in the UK in 2014.
Our pictures show the 2014 model year Honda Fit, which is all but identical to the Jazz. Honda has released limited information about the new model so far, but says the hybrid version (pictured) will return 35 per cent better fuel economy than the current model, with an average of more than 85mpg.
The Jazz will be the first Honda model to use its new "Sport Hybrid" system, which combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that has a built-in electric motor. The hybrid system used in Honda's current UK models uses either a Continually Variable Transmission (CVT) or manual gearbox.
As with the current Jazz, the new model subtly doesn't look dramatically different to the one it replaces, although slimmer headlights and an unusually shaped front grille give it a slightly edgier appearance.
Based on Malaysia perspective probably this model will be launch in Year 2015 as the current model has outdated look.

Border Patrol agents are required to carry a standard-issue sidearm, the Heckler & Koch pistol, and one less-lethal weapon: either pepper spray or a collapsible straight baton. Most carry both. All other weapons are optional. These are among the weapons available to agents.
H&K P2000 semiautomatic handgun: This semiautomatic .40-caliber handgun is required for all Border Patrol agents. It is the only gun agents are required to carry.
M4 rifle: When they go on duty, agents can check out an M4 .223-caliber rifle manufactured by the U.S. military that can be fired on automatic or semi-automatic mode.
Remington shotgun: Agents can also check out a Remington 870 12-gauge shotgun when they go out on duty.
Collapsible straight baton: This baton can be quickly expanded to strike subjects. It looks like a small baseball bat. Agents are required to carry either the baton or pepper spray.
Oleoresin capsicum spray: Pepper spray can be shot in the face of resisting subjects to temporarily blind and incapacitate them. There are several kinds agents can carry.
Controlled tire-deflation devices: Agents have several devices to stop cars by shredding their tires. The most simple is a “stop stick” that can be thrown in front of a car tire. Agents can also use larger spikes that can be pulled across the road.
Taser: Agents have different types of Tasers they can use on duty. The “electronic control device” models used by Customs and Border Protection can fire probes. Some can also be used to subdue a subject through pain compliance.
Pepper-spray balls launching system: A device that looks like a modified paintball gun, it can rapidly fire projectiles filled with gases such as pepper spray. Agents often use them to saturate an area with pepper-spray balls and disperse crowds or stop subjects from throwing rocks across the border.
FN303: This less-than-lethal firearm can shoot devices somewhat similar to rubber bullets, though the projectiles are said to be safer than rubber bullets. The projectile can also be filled with different substances to aid in dispersing crowds, stopping cross-border rock throwers or apprehending a subject.
Hand-thrown less-lethal devices: The Border Patrol has a number of hand-thrown munitions, such as sting-ball grenades, kinetic-impact weapons and distraction devices, that agents can throw as less-lethal weapons to scatter a crowd or apprehend a subject.
