This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 533,559 filed Sept. 19, 1983, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a manifold and the manufacturing method therefor.
A manifold which is indispensable for a machine tool, especially for an oil pressure valve, is known to be extremely difficult to design and machine. A solid-shaped ingot which is to be machined for a manifold is heavy and has to be moved by a crane every time it is machined, making the whole process very troublesome. In addition, if a dead zone remains near where fluid passages (an oil pressure passage, for example) intersect at the time of machining, shavings are liable to deposit therein which are difficult to be washed out. In order to eliminate such dead zones, it is necessary to have machining near the intersections of fluid passages so as to form the above-mentioned fluid passages penetrating from one side to the other side and to provide blank caps after inserting a rod reversely to near these intersections. This is inconvenient and it increases manufacturing costs. As a countermeasure, a technique has been proposed wherein a manifold is formed in separate parts and then assembled at the final stage, to make a manifold of a cubic shape or a block shape. However, manufacturing a manifold in separate parts to be assembled later is not practical since the connection of fluid passages inside becomes more three-dimensional than two-dimensional and is extremely complicated.
The present invention was conceived in order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art and to provide a manifold which is highly precise but easy to design and machine and the manufacturing method thereof. It is characterized in that a complicated fluid passage is formed in advance with groups of pipes and these groups of pipes are supported by at least either one of a cast main body or a base plate to form a cubic shape.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the third embodiment of a manifold according to this invention and
FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the fourth embodiment corresponding to FIG. 11.
The present invention is now described in detail referring to the drawings.
FIGS. 1 to 6 show the first embodiment of a manifold and its manufacturing method wherein a manifold 1 is mainly structured with a group of pipes 2 and a cast main body 3. The group of pipes 2 are provided internally with a fluid passage 4 of multiple communication and formed to be a "manifold pipe" by connecting plural pipes 5 by means of welding or other techniques, thereby constructing a complicated fluid passage 4 (e.g. oil pressure passage) which can meet requirements as an effective manifold 1.
The main body 3 forms a main body of a manifold 1 wherein the group of pipes 2 are inside and a cast is formed around the pipes and is made into a cube-shape required for a manifold 1 as the finished product by utilizing metal material, resin material, etc. As to the above pipe groups 2, end tip members 5a-5j of each pipe 5 are placed so that they are exposed on the corresponding outer surface 7 (surface member of a finished product) of the main body 3 so that they are freely connectable to opposite members (for example, an oil pressure valve). When end tips 5a-5j of each pipe 5 are in the casted main body 3, a slight displacement in position on the outerface member 7 may sometimes occur, but there arises no inconvenience if such connecting means are adopted as a pipe or a hose (especially a flexible hose) which can absorb small discrepancies in position at the time of connecting them to the pipe tips.
The manufacturing method of the manifold 1 is now described referring to FIGS. 1-6. First of all, a fluid passage 4 of multiple communication is formed by a group of pipes 2. This is achieved by making a plural number of pipes 5 into a "manifold pipe" by welding, etc., and in order to prevent oxidation at the time of and after welding, inert gas such as nitrogen gas may be sealed in the pipe 5 in advance to freely move therein. "A manifold pipe" can be formed by connecting pipes 9, 10 and 11 by screwing or welding with a joint 8 such as a three-way pipe shown in FIG. 4. In case of connecting pipes with different diameters 12, 13 as shown in FIG. 5, a joint 14 which has the diameters to fit pipes 12 and 13 respectively may be used to overcome difficulties in forming "a manifold pipe".
The end tip 5a-5j of each pipe 5 of the group of pipes 2 which are necessary to be connected to opposite members as a finished product of the manifold 1 are placed on a corresponding outer face members 7 (face member as a finished product) in a manner that each connecting port 15 is exposed to outside. A joint 16 in a form of a nut may be mounted over the end tip members 5a-5j as shown in FIG. 6 to project from the outer face member 7 in order to facilitate the connection with opposite members such as a hose or a pipe 17.
Then the group of pipes 2 are cast with metal or resin material in order to integrally form a desired cube-shape. As materials, aluminium (especially reclaimed aluminium), synthetic resin, castings, ductile cast iron, etc. may readily be used, and an extremely light-weight manifold 1 may be manufactured in case when aluminium is used. As any of conventional casting techniques may be used at the time of casting, the explanation thereof in detail is omitted herein. For example, in one conventional casting process which can be used, a sand mould or metal mould having a cube or block shape is prepared. The pipe group is put in the mould and fixed to prevent its movement. The casting material is then poured and cooled. Pressure may be applied. Casting according to this invention is easier than the conventional casting since "cavities" can be ignored, even if they occur in the main body 3, as the fluid passage 4 is formed by the group of pipes 2. The material for plural pipes 5 forming the group of pipe 2 and the main body 3 is determined to suit requirements such as the kind, property, temperature, etc. of the fluid which flows inside the fluid passage 4 in case of the former and the temperature at the time of casting, the total weight as a finished product, the use and function as a manifold 1 in case of the latter.
FIGS. 7 to 10 are related to another embodiment of a manifold and the manufacturing method thereof. In this embodiment, a manifold 1 mainly comprises a group of pipes 2, a surface plate 23 which is placed on face members 21, 22 of a high precision in correspondence to a part 20 or the opposite member to be connected (see FIG. 10) and a main body 3. This embodiment is substantially the same as the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 except for the surface plate 23; therefore, identical parts shall be referred to by the identical reference numerals to avoid repetition and only the part which differs from the previous embodiment shall be explained.
In a manifold as a finished product, the surface plate 23 is placed on the face member which needs to have a high precision against the opposite member 20, an oil pressure valve, for example. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the surface plate 23 having an L-shaped cross-section is placed on two face members 21 and 22. On this surface plate 23 is formed ports 24 for connecting pipes by making corresponding end tip members 5a-5d of pipes 5 from said group of pipes 2 protrude from the back side. If the manifold 1 is hexahedral, it is possible to place the surface plate 23 up to 5 faces, leaving one face as a casting side. On face members 25, 26, 27 and 28 which do not need said surface plate 23 extend corresponding end tip members 5e-5j of pipes 5 of the group of pipes 2 and each pipe connecting port 29 shall be kept freely connectable to the part 20 of the opposite port.
It is certainly possible to use joints 8, 14 described in FIGS. 4 and 5 to connect a plural number of pipes 5 or to use the joint 16 described in FIG. 6 at pipe connecting ports 24, 29. The advantages of using these joints 8, 14 and 16 have been mentioned hereinabove.
This embodiment is characterized in that the surface plate 23 is placed over face members 21, 22 which require a high precision. The surface plate 23 secures not only "a positional precision" of the pipe connecting port 24 but also "a surface precision" in fixing to an opposite member as well as "an attachment precision." For the surface plate 23, a steel plate of 10-30 mm thick, for example, is used and is ground and polished on the surface side 23a so that the opposite member 20 (for example, an oil pressure valve) can be directly mounted thereon with a set screw 30 as shown in FIG. 10. In this case, the surface side 23a of the surface plate 23 should be given "a mirror finish" to achieve better adherence and sealing effect for a fitting face 31 of the opposite member 20 so that adequate sealing can be obtained simply by providing an O-ring 32 around the pipe connecting port 24 facing thereof, and that the set screw 30 can be satisfactorily fixed by making use of the thickness t.
The manufacturing method of the manifold 1 with above mentioned construction is now explained. As in the previous embodiment, a fluid passage 4 of multiple communication is formed by a group of pipes 2.
On the face members 21, 22 which require a high precision against the opposite member 20 as a finished product of the manifold 1 is placed the surface plate 23, and on the surface side 23a of the surface plate 23 are connected the end tip members 5a-5d of the corresponding pipes of said pipe group 2 from the back side to form pipe connecting ports 24. On the face members 25-28 which do not need the surface plate 23 are faced with the end tip members 5e-5j of the corresponding pipes, leaving a connecting port 29 connectable with the opposite member as a finished product of the manifold 1.
Said pipe group 2 are cast together with the surface plate 23 with a metal material, a resin material, etc. to make a desired integral cubit shape as a whole. In this way, pipes 2 are cast inside the main body 3 to form an integral port and the surface plate 23 is integrally fixed as well by abutting its back side against the main body 3 at the time of casting. It is possible to achieve a better integration by providing legs or protrusions (not shown) on the back side of the surface plate 23 so that they will dig into the main body 3 at casting. Other descriptions shall be omitted since they are substantially the same as the previous embodiment.
Description is given to the cases wherein a main body 3 is not used, referring to FIGS. 11 and 12.
FIG. 11 shows another embodiment according to the present invention. The manifold 1 mainly comprises a manifold pipe group 2 and a base plate 33 which is also used as a surface plate 23. The manifold pipe group 2 forms a desired fluid passage as a whole by connecting plural pipes 5 directly by welding or indirectly by using a joint 34. The base plate 33, on the other hand, is L-shaped and supports at least one end of manifold pipe group 2. In the figure, a pipe 35 is shown wherein separated end members 35a and 35b are respectively supported by the base plate 33. This base plate 33 not only supports the branched out pipe group 2 but also forms a face member 36 which requires a high precision in mounting against the opposite member such as oil pressure valve, for example, so that it is even more preferable to have a surface finish on the face member 36. Each end member of the branched out pipe group 2 supported by the base plate 33 is cast inside the base plate 33 so as not to project over the face member 36, but it is naturally possible to use an appropriate joint (for example, the joint 16 of FIG. 6) at the time of connection with the opposite member. Reference numeral 37 in the figure denotes a coupling member which is mounted on the end part not supported by the base plate 33 of the branched out pipe group 2 and 38 an arm for support to reinforce the L-shaped base plate 33.
FIG. 12 shows still another embodiment according to the present invention, and in this embodiment, a base plate 39 is a square tube as a whole, supporting each end member of branched out pipe group from 4 sides. Other parts are substantially the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, therefore, they are referred to by the same reference numerals in the figure to avoid repeating explanation.
Since the present invention is as such that has been described above, a marked difference in effect can be expected compared with prior art manifold and the manufacturing method thereof. The main merits may be summed up below:
(a) As a fluid passage is formed inside the pipe group to be connectable by welding, bending, or connecting pipes with joints, the sealing effect (no leakage) is remarkable and machining is easy since an ingot is not cut or bored, giving no worries of dead zones to be left or shavings to be deposited, and any complicated passage, not only two-dimensional but also three-dimensional, can be formed extremely easily, and
(b) as a surface plate is placed in advance on the face member which requires a high precision against the opposite member, more than sufficient precisions can be expected on the position of a connecting port or a tip end of a pipe, on the surface for attaching other members and on the attachment,
(c) by securely forming the passage by the pipe group, the choice of material for the main body inside of which the pipe group are cast becomes comparatively wide and economical, and furthermore, if an aluminum material is used, the whole weight becomes about one third of the conventional one which will result in better effects not only to the manifold itself but also contributes to lighten the equipment itself which houses the light-weight manifold, and
(d) a crane becomes not necessary in machining process.
(e) As the passage is securely formed by a group of pipes, it is not necessary to worry about the occurrence of cavities in the main body and they can be ignored even if they did occur, and
(f) a highly precise manifold of wide applicability can be constructed economically in a comparatively short time for oil pressure, water pressure or pneumatic pressure equipments and others.
(g) In addition, if a manifold is formed by using a base plate which also serves as a surface plate instead of the main body in order to support at least one end of the manifold pipe group, the merit of being light-weight mentioned in (c) becomes even more effective.

Mary Ann's Story
Mary Ann (Pounds) Faulkner was born to Claude and Agnes Pounds on December 6, 1945, in Gadsden, Alabama. At an early age, Mary Ann showed great talent for the piano, and she performed her first public concert at the age of 8. Mary Ann continued to flourish in music and in her education under the guidance of her mother, an elementary school teacher, and her grandfather, Dr. Joshua Gann, a Methodist minister and later district superintendent. Mary Ann's father, Claude, was a steady, faithful force in her life, providing support in all her endeavors.
By high school, Mary Ann was named to Girl's State, she was valedictorian of her class, and she was selected to study music under Dr. Alexander Uninsky at Southern Methodist University. In college, Dr. Uninsky honed Mary Ann's music skills, and she was invited to play internationally. Mary Ann was named Phi Beta Kappa while finishing her undergraduate studies at the University of Alabama.
After graduation, Mary Ann met Arthur, and they ultimately settled in Decatur, where they raised their two children, Scott and Kathy. The family found a home at First United Methodist Church, where Mary Ann played the piano every Sunday for more than 30 years. Mary Ann was a professor of English literature at Calhoun and a tireless volunteer for her community, including Decatur City Schools. She, with the help of others in the community and in the school system, brought advanced placement courses to Decatur High in the 1980s. In the summers, Mary Ann taught Scott and Kathy about foreign countries before traveling to those countries each summer. Over time, Mary Ann and Arthur showed their children 52 countries on 7 continents. Above all, she and Arthur gave all they could to the success of their children.
Upon her retirement, Mary Ann focused her energy on the welfare of animals, particularly dogs. She gave time and resources on a daily basis to make sure that all creatures were cared for properly. Perhaps Mary Ann's greatest joy came in the form of her grandchildren, Gann, Hattie and Marley. There are no words to describe how she loved them and how they loved her in return.
Mary Ann is survived by her husband of 46 years, Arthur, her son, Scott (Lindsey), her daughter, Kathy Youngren (Robert), her grandchildren, Gann and Hattie Faulkner and Marley Youngren, as well as cousins and many friends.
In lieu of flowers, please honor Mary Ann's life with a donation to Peace Love and Animals (Tanner, Alabama), The Ark, Inc., the Humane Society, or a local animal shelter in your neighborhood.

Needless to say, there’s been a ton of interest in the debut solo project from Charles Kelley. Known for his work as co-lead singer of Lady Antebellum, the singer takes on a little bit different of a sound and style than you might be accustomed to.
There’s a definite muscle to this music that will surprise many. While there are some tracks that have those same pop-ish lyrical hooks as the famous trio, with this disc, Kelley’s vocals are very much up front and center with plenty of power behind them.
The set’s first track, “Your Love,” is a potent example of this. Both Kelley’s trademark vocals and the instrumental prowess of the backing musicians, sets the tone for this album. Not only is Kelley’s vocals given proper showcase, but the grooves on this track will also lure you in. It’s a sonic treat from start to finish, courtesy of the producer extraordinaire – Paul Worley.
The grooves also rise to the surface of the brooding “Dancing Around It,” where he manages to hit some of the finest notes on the set. “Lonely Girl” also dazzles the ears with a dramatic flair with seductive lyrics from Chris Stapleton and Jesse Frasure.
One of the most personal tracks on the disc is the moving “The Only One Who Gets Me,” which was inspired by his wife Cassie. Kelley manages to strike the song with an emotional depth unlike anything he’s ever recorded. Miranda Lambert adds her touch on “I Wish You Were Here,” and he scored a vocal cameo from the iconic Stevie Nicks on his cover of “Southern Accents.”
Needless to say, Kelley has scored a very impressive album. But, had Capitol simply looped the set’s closer, “Leaving Nashville” nine times consecutively – this would be well worth the purchase. To some, this song might be a little too “Inside Baseball” – but the thoughtful lyrics about a person who knows the heartaches the music business can throw at you, but still you stay because of the undeniable highs involved in what you do can strike an emotional chord with singers, songwriters, instrumentalists, and yes…journalists. And, even if it is too “Inside Baseball,” it’s the best reflection upon the passion exuded on Music Row since Lacy J. Dalton’s “16th Avenue.”
Charles Kelley has stressed that this solo disc is not the end of Lady Antebellum, and while I hope that is true, I will also say that I hope he finds more opportunities to showcase his solo muse. From the sound The Driver, he’s pretty damn good at it!


T.I. and wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris’ lawsuit against MGA Entertainment Inc over glaring similarities between the toy company’s OMG LOL Surprise Dolls and the name, image and likeness of their rap group OMG Girlz has ended in a mistrial.
On Wednesday (Jan. 25), a U.S. District federal judge handed down the ruling after the rapper’s legal team played testimony from a consumer’s deposition, which was deemed inadmissible due to a prior ruling made by the judge.
The recording in question featured the witness testifying that she stopped purchasing OMG LIL Surprise Dolls due to her belief of T.I.’s claim that the MGA had copied the OMG Girlz and that the brand was engaging in “cultural appropriation.” According to court documents, the witness, Moneice Campbell, claimed that “hundreds of people” share her opinion that the doll line “idea is stolen from the OMG Girlz …(because) people often steal from the Black community and make money off of it.”
MGA attorney Chase Scolnick deemed Campbell’s testimony a “rant” about her refusal to “support a company that steals from African Americans and their ideas and profit off of it and don’t give African Americans the profit.” However, Judge James Selna’s previous ruling prohibiting any testimony or claims of “cultural appropriation” was “out of bounds” and could not be included at trial.
According to Selna, the playing of the deposition testimony was intentional on the part of Harris’ legal team and continues a trend of their attorneys defying Judge Selna’s prior ruling. “This was no accident,” Scolnick said. “This is the third time (the Harris team) and their counsel have tried to introduce prohibited testimony in violation of the court’s order.”
Following the ruling, MGA released a statement denying the accusations of appropriation, noting its own efforts in representation of minorities within the toy industry. “Diversity has always been a key value at MGA Entertainment in both our people and our toys. In fact, MGA brought diversity to the fashion doll category more than 21 years ago with the introduction of Bratz dolls. We are disappointed that the trial was cut short but look forward to vindicating our rights in the next trial.”
Another MGA legal rep, Jennifer Keller, attempted to shoot down the Harris’ claims by stating that the inspiration behind the OMG LOL Surprise line came from unboxing videos on YouTube. She also pointed out various examples of “OMG” being used in pop culture, including Usher’s 2010 single “OMG,” which was released prior to the formation of OMG Girlz. “They look like they raided Katy Perry’s closet,” Keller said of the trio’s wardrobe, which the Harris’ suit claimed was mimicked by MGA.
“This case is about greed,” the attorney said, accusing T.I. and Tiny of demanding tens of millions of dollars for doing nothing” and labeling the OMG Girlz as “trend followers, not trend setters.”
The Harris’ are adamant about the validity of their claim, alleging that MGA has a history of stealing ideas and concepts for their own products. “The remarkable and numerous similarities between the OMG Girlz and MGA’s OMG Dolls are unmistakable,” the couple’s legal team said in a statement. “Seeing is believing.

I am all about hoop art. You probably know this. I’ll pretty much put them everywhere – they add something so fun and whimsical to walls and décor.
I love the idea of adding them to the table too – so today I have these new Easter Bunny Hoop Art Place Cards for you!
Because if you can put cute little bunnies on your Easter table, that also double as décor, why wouldn’t you?
These little hoops make such fun place cards but you could also just make one up as a Spring decoration – or even as gifts for teachers and friends!
Pom pom bunny tails make me smile. Especially when they’re all gold and glittery! Also on the list of things that make me smile: ruffles, vintage fabrics and wee tiny buntings. It’s like the trifecta of cuteness all in one hoop.
I would also like to point out that the name tag is stamped – not embroidered. Let me confess that it took me about . . . oh . . . 17 attempts to get the name so that it looked halfway decent. It’s ok to laugh. My letters were all wonky and too far apart or two close together. I need to go to remedial stamping or something. Or just go back to embroidering everything.
So let’s dive in! These are fast and easy – and no-sew (almost)!!
Here’s what you’ll need for ONE hoop.
- one 5″ wood hoop
- Linen fabric – a piece a little bigger than the hoop
- fabric scraps for bunny, bunting, and name card
- fusible webbing and glue
- twine, ribbon and lace trim
- pom pom for tail
- felt for back of hoop
- ruffle trim for back of hoop
- stamps and ink for name card
Cut a piece of linen a little larger than your hoop
Glue a length of lace trim along the bottom of the fabric – using your hoop as a guide for placement.
Choose a bunny shape that you like (there are tons online or you can draw one out). Iron a piece of fusible webbing on the back of your bunny fabric, then cut the bunny out. Fuse the bunny piece to your background fabric, a little off center.
Sew (or glue) the bunny tail pom pom in place.
Cut five tiny circles and fuse them in half around a small piece of bakers twine. This will be your little bunting so check the length to make sure it fits on the hoop above the bunny.
Place the bunting above the bunny on the left side of the fabric. Place the fabric and bunting in the hoop.
Trim your fabric and twine and glue to the back side of the hoop.
Glue a length of ruffle trim to the back side of the hoop. On a 5″ hoop you’ll need just a little less than a half a yard.
Cut a small piece of solid fabric in the shape of a tag and fuse it to a piece of printed fabric a little larger than the tag. Stamp the name on the tag. If you are stamping impaired like me, I highly suggest practicing a few (zillion) times on some scrap paper first.
Punch a small hole in the fabric and loop a piece of bakers twine through the hole.
Tie the tag to one end of side of the top of the hoop and then tie a pretty ribbon around the top to hide it, and as a bit of extra color.
And that’s it! You know have a super sweet little place card – it will be quick to make up one for everyone for Easter Brunch! Or you can just hang it on your wall for some Spring décor!
I hope you give it a try!

APPEAL FOR THE SAFEGUARD OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
Mediterranean is a primary sea, where the categories of civilization or the evolution
matrices in the North and the South cannot be reduced to a common denominator.
The coastal and inland approaches exclude or even oppose one another. Mistaking
the representation of reality with the reality itself, is a perpetuated trend:
the image of the Mediterranean Sea and the true Mediterranean Sea are not the
The Mediterranean Sea has faced modernity too late. It has not seen
laicism on all its sides. Each coast lives its own contradictions that continue
to be reflected on the other sides of the basin and on other different and sometimes
far away spaces.
The view offered by the Mediterranean Sea is not reassuring
at all. The northern side is behind the times compared with Northern Europe, and
likewise the southern side is behind the European one.
The EU is being defined
without considering that: a Europe separated from "the cradle of Europe"
is being born, but nobody can grow up deprived of its childhood and adolescence.
criteria adopted by the North to observe the present and the future of the Mediterranean
area do not match those used in the South. The points of view are very different.
Many decisions concerning the destiny of the Mediterranean are too often defined
outside of it or without it, producing frustrations and shadows.
of joy before nostalgic sights are expressed through arts and letters.
appeal coming from the civil Society, perhaps, could save at least the sea itself,
the nature of places, the landscape, the coasts, the houses, the lighthouses,
the towers, the historical centres.
To save the Mediterranean, the sea that
risks more, is by now necessary as well as the hope in coming to a shared even
though differentiated vision: to join its cultures and its civilizations in order
to preserve it.
The governments of this area pursue rudimentary maritime policies.
The Mediterranean seems to be a state of things, and it does not succeed in becoming
a true design. The northern side occasionally appears in the European plans, but
the southern one is always missing.
" WE DEMAND the Mediterranean
sea to be protected, the most important routes to be monitored, "poisonous
ships", "old tubs" and "ecological bombs" not allowed
The single hull tankers could destroy easily and forever many wonderful
places. What would happen if an oil tanker sank in the Bocche di Bonifacio, or
the Channel of Otranto, the Bocche di Cattaro? A boat shipping dangerous substances
could go adrift and hit one of its sides, everywhere it would result in a massacre
and an ecological disaster. After the opening of the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean
Sea represents nothing more that the sea to be crossed to reach the ocean. This
crossing route should be at least limited by simple and effective rules, in order
to guarantee the security of people. Being so encircled by several nations, the
Mediterranean Sea can and has to be protected at the best.
In order to prevent
any oil tanker from erasing the colours of our sea, so that they can always be
as those drawn by the ancient cartographers on the pilot books.
WE DEMAND the international convention "Hns" on the responsibility and
the compensation for the damages produced by the sea transport of dangerous substances
to be subscribed by the majority of the Mediterranean Countries.
WE DEMAND the same to be made for the "Bunker oil", about the responsibility
of merchant ships and oil tankers concerning the pollution provoked by the outpouring
of fuels into the sea, and the conventions promoted by the European Union to be
extended to the whole Mediterranean area which is "the cradle of Europe".
The black list of ships that do not respect the rules of maritime security must
constantly be updated, the 66 ships that have been often stopped in the European
ports because they were not in compliance with the rules of maritime security
have to be banished for ever from the Mediterranean Sea.
" WE DEMAND,
to grant the maritime security, the heavy oil transport to be prohibited in single
hull oil tankers in the whole Mediterranean area.
" WE DEMAND the would-be
European Agency for Maritime Security to set up a similar Agency for Maritime
Security in the Mediterranean.
" WE DEMAND the international conventions
to strengthen the level of the compensation for the damages produced by sea pollution,
demanding also all Mediterranean Countries to ratify a convention that defines
an amount of repair equal to at least 1 billion euros in case of accidents.
WE DEMAND international rules to be introduced and applied to the whole Mediterranean
area, about the penal responsibility of maritime companies recognized guilty of
sea pollution due to grave negligence.
" WE DEMAND the limitation of
the responsibilities of the owner to be prevented, in case he or she is guilty,
and the regime of immunity for charterers, shipowners and other sujects to have
" WE DEMAND a Community recognition system of the certifications
about seamen competence issued outside the Union to be introduced, demanding all
Mediterranean Countries to join the International Maritime Orgnization (IMO) and
demanding the IMO itself to strengthen maritime security.
" WE DEMAND
a single supranational Agency to ensure pollution prevention and this Agency to
be established to safeguard the Mediterranean basin and take upon itself the tasks
so far entrusted by European and national maritime laws to a variety of structures.
WE ASK every conflict opposing European laws, national rules and international
agreements about sea pollution prevention to be overcome.
Only if Europe
does not forget the sea in which it was born, and grown up, the sea in which it
spent its childhood, the Mediterranean will be saved.

Ikea commits to hiring refugees in Edmonton
Company will recruit staff through partnership with local agency for newcomers
Ikea Edmonton has partnered up with the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers to recruit and hire refugees to work in its store.
The initiative is part of a national program launched by Ikea Canada, which aims to hire 250 refugees over three years.
The program will provide valuable work experience for refugees in Edmonton, said Laurie Hauer, manager of employment programs with the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers (EMCN).
Beyond providing an income, having a job also helps refugees feel connected to a community, Hauer said.
"It's about knowing that you're contributing to something greater and bigger," she said. "It's about the relationships that you make."
Jobs are available in all departments, including food service, sales and IT.
The company will benefit from having a more diverse workforce, said Ikea Canada's head of sustainability, Brendan Seale.
"By removing barriers for these newcomers to Canada, it really allows us to access a broader pool of talent," Seale said.
"We also know that when we have a more diverse and inclusive workforce, we have different points of view. It helps us to avoid the groupthink and bring in new perspectives."
Ikea Canada wants to complement the supports that local agencies are already offering to refugees, Seale added.
"It's really to take a holistic look at the experience of a newcomer to the community," he said. "Employment, of course, is an important part of that."
Ikea Edmonton and EMCN are beginning the hiring process next week.
The EMCN will help with the recruitment aspect, striving to match refugees with work that will make use of their skills.
"It's a new way of understanding and hiring a workforce," Hauer said. "Really looking at people and how they contribute, and where their growth is."
"It's an amazing trend that should be happening across the labour market."

Worship and Music - Ethnomusicology
Master of Arts (MA)
John L Benham
Primary Subject Area
Music; Sociology, Ethnic and Racial Studies
analysis, China, dutar, ethnomusicology, music, Uyghur
Kee, Michael Alan, "Analysis of the Dutar Playing Technique of Abdurehim Heyt" (2011). Masters Theses. 168.
Uyghur dutar player Abdurehim Heyt is hailed by many Uyghurs as the Dutar King, referring to his mastery of the instrument. This thesis examines several of Heyt's songs and compares them with songs from three other Uyghur dutar players in an attempt to isolate and define the unique characteristic of Heyt's dutar playing technique that sets him apart from other Uyghur dutar players.
This study presents a brief examination of the concept of music ornamentation as it has developed in the West. The Uyghur concept of music ornamentation - purakh - is then explained and compared with the Western concept of ornamentation. A case is made for the similarity between the early concept of ornamentation in the West during the Renaissance and the current Uyghur concept of ornamentation.
The majority of this study is divided into two sections - transcription and analysis. A set of music analysis tools developed by Vida Chenoweth and Tom Avery provides a methodology foundation for both sections. Several computer programs are used to assist in the transcription of the instrumental portion excerpted from fourteen songs - eight from Heyt and two each from three other Uyghur musicians. All of the songs analyzed belong to the genre of Uyghur folksongs. Kenneth Pike's etic-emic concept is applied to the analysis phase with the analysis tools to identify ornamentation techniques and separate them from the basic melody.
The results of the study show that, in all of the areas analyzed save one, the dutar playing techniques used by all musicians were very similar. The one area where there was a striking difference between the dutar playing technique of Heyt and the other three musicians was in the extent to which Heyt played the drone string.

I've recently been on World War Two reading theme ... and these are some of my absolute favourites! These books inspire me because no matter what happens in my life, I am going through nothing compared to what people went through during the Second World War.
From the first page of The Goldfinch I was enthralled and couldn't put it down. It is a novel on life, death, art, seediness and love. At 784 pages, it has readers divided on whether it needed a good edit or whether it is actually completely perfect.

With the Defenders trailer having recently dropped, I found myself wanting some more Jessica Jones. So it’s time to check in on the second arc of her debut series, Alias.
- The focus on Jessica’s loner character continues to provide the book’s most interesting moments.
- In this case, those moments tend to be when people she considers friends let her down or when she sees a part of herself in strangers.
- And the book’s art remains solid; Gaydos and Hollingsworth’s pages remain dark and dynamic, and Bill Sienkiewicz provides beautiful splash pages from Rick Jones’s memoir.
There were, however, elements of this arc that took me out of the story:
- Jessica and Carol Danvers spend a lot of time talking about guys, and there’s a certain amount of slut-shaming of Jessica by both characters that feels out of touch.
- The B-plot involving Jessica catching a woman’s husband cheating with the express purpose of forcing him out of the closet feels pretty homophobic.
- And when given the opportunity to come forward with evidence that a woman’s husband has lied to her about his identity and is not who he says, she doesn’t.
If you liked the first arc of Alias, you might still enjoy the second if you can stomach its more problematic content. Its character beats remain strong, but I am not going to tell you whether that should be enough to overlook the issues with its content. Use your best judgment on this one.

Strictly's Faye Tozer and Giovanni Pernice get back to work at rehearsals in Blackpool after THAT intimate boozy lunch date
They enjoyed an intimate boozy lunch to celebrate Faye Tozer's 43rd birthday earlier this week.
And the Steps singer and her Strictly partner Giovannni Pernice seemed to be in good spirits two days later as they headed to rehearsals in Blackpool.
The blonde beauty and Italian dancing professional, 28, flashed broad smiles as they arrived for training at Blackpool Tower ahead of the weekend's live shows.
Back to work! Faye Tozer and Giovanni Pernice beamed as they heaed to rehearsals after THAT intimate boozy lunch date
Faye opted for a relaxed look, donning skintight leggings and a black sweater teamed with a fur-trim gilet and pink trainers.
Scraping her golden tresses back into a simple updo, the singer framed her features with minimal make-up.
Giovanni, meanwhile, kept things casual in a grey tracksuit teamed with a heavy black overcoat.
Birthday girl: They enjoyed an affectionate one-on-one lunch in Newcastle on Wednesday
Looking good: Faye opted for a relaxed look, donning skintight leggings and a black sweater teamed with a fur-trim gilet and pink trainers
Laid-back: Giovanni, meanwhile, kept things casual in a grey tracksuit teamed with a heavy black overcoat
Their outing comes just two days after Faye enjoyed a boozy one-on-one lunch with Giovanni to celebrate her 43rd birthday.
Faye, who has been married to IT specialist Michael Smith for nine years, was beaming as she rang in the special day with the Italian professional dancer, who is rumoured to be dating co-star Ashley Roberts.
During the meal, the handsome dancer was deep in conversation with the Nineties pop sensation before spoon feeding her, cupping her cheek, ordering a cake with a candle, drinking wine and later footing the bill.
Romance: Giovanni's personal life has been hitting headlines as he has been plagued with rumours of romance with Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley, 37, after they reportedly 'really hit it off', although he dismissed the claims
Despite filming throughout the lunch, there was no mention on either of their social media accounts of the meal however Faye shared a sweet snap with some family members.
She added the caption: 'Really enjoyed a bit of reality this eve. Birthday dinner with the northern fam & munchkins!! Thank you for all the lovely messages & pics & wishes today! So much love xxx'.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Faye, Giovanni and Strictly for comment.
Looking cosy: Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell, who recently sparked romance rumours, beamed for the cameras
Good pairing: Elsewhere, Lauren Steadman and AJ Pritchard looked cosy as they joined the other stars at the biggest weekend of Strictly
Here they come! The dancing duo led the arrivals for Blackpool rehearsals as a slew of the Strictly stars were hot on their heels
Having fun! Kate Silverton looked cheerful as she headed to the Blackpool Tower after jumping into the sea to celebrate making the Strictly milestone
Arriving here! Karen Clifton was impossible to miss in her canary yellow jumper paired with her sky blue tight leggings
Aside from their dance moves, Giovanni's personal life has been hitting headlines as he has been plagued with rumours of romance with Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley, 37, after they reportedly 'really hit it off', although he dismissed the claims.
The Strictly stars are said to have 'been on a string of secret dates' and are now in the early stages of a new romance after sharing a kiss.
The 'spark' between the pair has not gone unnoticed between their co-stars and the crew, but the relationship is likely to raise eyebrows with Giovanni's ex, former Corrie star Georgia, 27, who is a friend of Ashley's.
Looking good: Katya Jones looked casually cool in her olive green co-ords which had rips in the knees of her pants
Lady in red: She warded off the November chill with a scarlet Zara jacket
Friendly face! Ashley Roberts made a smiling arrival at Blackpool as she waved to the crowd
Bare-faced beauty: Nadiya Bychkova went make-up free as she arrived at rehearsals
Ashley even supported Georgia through the couple's split in 2016 by taking her on a series of girls' nights out.
A source told The Sun: 'The spark between Ashley and Giovanni has become quite widely noticed among the crew – they just seem to really hit it off.
'After the show each week they've been heading out for drinks together in London and just hanging out and looking very cosy. It's very early days but it looks like things are going well – and of course they're both single so it's all totally innocent fun.'
Feeling shy? Stacey Dooley kept the chill at bay with her long black coat
Hilarious: Gorka Marquez threw his arms open for a hug as he showed off his sense of fun
Can't believe it! The Spanish dancer gawped with excitement as he pointed to a fan's poster fo him
Just hanging out: The professional also posed alongside fellow dancer Graziano di Prima

My Arducopter RC2 turned off all four motors at about 100' up today, and plunged to its death with no rotors spinning.
I believe there is a software bug or misguided feature at the root of it.
I was using GPS Hold to pin position, and the Arducopter was ascending. I brought the throttle stick down (while still in GPS Hold) to slow the ascent. I brought the stick all the way down. It was still a bit higher than I would have liked, so I switched GPS Hold Off and moved the throttle quickly to center/hover position.
This is when the motors turned off.
I can actually recreate this same scenario on the Configurator! In fact, any quick motion of the throttle stick from full down to mid-stick, while in flight, will kill all the motors and disarm.
Go try it and let me know if this is intentional/normal. It seems to auto-disarm if you bring the stick up quickly. That can't be good.
I have to get a new frame kit and a new motor/prop from Thailand now. I'm going to go look for the responsible bit of code and excise it.

The provincial government is examining the issue of municipal whistleblower protection.
The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) and Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) broached the subject of municipal public interest disclosure provisions with the Ministry of Government Relations in the fall. At the time, the province was drafting its new municipal conflict of interest legislation.
“It came to light very quickly that we wanted to make sure that employees who really probably are the first point of contact, who are going to see any trouble with conflict of interest in a smaller municipality — potentially … were protected and taken care of and felt comfortable to report,” said SUMA president Debra Button.
Minister of Government Relations Jim Reiter thinks “there’s some merit to that.” The province will consult with SUMA and SARM as it evaluates the idea, which was brought up too late to be dealt with alongside the conflict of interest legislation, Reiter said.
That legislation was a point of interest at this week’s SUMA convention. Reiter said that as with any new legislation, people had concerns, particularly around the required public disclosure statements and the ombudsman’s new role in investigating complaints against municipalities.
Reiter said, though, that after education sessions, “I think most people had their questions answered and I think are fairly comfortable with it.”
The legislation was inspired by recommendations from the inquiry into the Rural Municipality of Sherwood. The inquiry found problems with how Sherwood handled a development project and conflict of interest issues. Its reeve was removed as a result.
Reiter said the government doesn’t have any more plans in relation to Sherwood. However, he added, “because of some of the issues that they’re still dealing with, we’re going to be watching closely. We’re still concerned — I’m still concerned — but having said that there is a new reeve in place and I want to give the council now every opportunity to get their house in order.”
When asked what the government is keeping its eye on, Reiter said, “operations on the municipality in general — not in any heavy-handed, Big Brother-type way, but … we took some pretty serious measures last year. We’re not going to just completely ignore it suddenly.”

Biography / Artist statement
Tammy Mackay’s work is often conceptualised as a series, with her current prints from her “HOPE and FEAR” series currently being exhibited in Greenwich. Each series she creates is a personal exploration of themes, often a journey of feelings linked to an object, moment or past memory. Images have become both layered in process and layered in meaning. Animals and birds have become central to the themes and convey a subtle symbolism within their depiction.
She grew up on a farm in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and studied at Rhodes University, graduating with an Honours Degree in Fine Arts, majoring in Printmaking. Although she has used etching and monoprinting as her primary mediums, she has always experimented with new techniques. More recently she has used photopolymer plates and drypoint. These techniques are often combined with hand drawn or hand coloured chine collé. Exploring and developing new techniques opens up new possibilities which she feels is essential to her development as an artist and printmaker. Although primarily a printmaker, other ideas in drawing, collage and assemblage form part of her creative process.
Recent exhibitions and art fair highlights include: The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2019, 2015, 2014 & 2013), The London Original Print Fair, The Affordable Art Fair, The Other Art Fair, The Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition.
