Welsh manufacturing company touches down in the U.S. Case Study: FAUN TRACKWAY
ales-based FAUN TRACKWAY, a market leading designer and manufacturer of portable roadways and temporary aircraft landing mats, has incorporated a new company and opened a North American office in Washington, D.C. following introductions to the U.S. defense market by representatives of the Welsh Government.
FAUN TRACKWAY, an Anglesey-based Welsh manufacturing firm, is among leading U.K. defense contractors that have expanded their operations into the United States. The defense division of Europeâ€™s number-one municipal vehicle manufacturer, FAUN, the Welsh company designs and manufactures a range of high-quality aluminum aircraft landing mats and ground mobility solutions for military operations. It also provides damage repair technologies for airfield runways, enabling flying operations to be rapidly resumed following an enemy attack or natural disaster. With a production history of more than 60 years in military-grade aluminum products, FAUN TRACKWAY is now moving to provide its innovative ground and air mobility solutions to the U.S. military and its worldwide partners.

of vehicles and individuals. With a strong commitment to quality and environmental responsibility, the reusable and recyclable products are capable of being utilized in the most extreme weather conditions. Strong interest in FAUN TRACKWAY products from the U.S. Department of Defense is largely due to U.S. military missions being located in some of the most extreme environments in the world. With modern warfare and relief operations often involving challenging transportation issues, FAUN TRACKWAY is confident of the demand for its highly durable and rapidly deployable products. Mike Holdcraft, Vice President of Business Development at FAUN TRACKWAY USA notes that, “FAUN is distinctive in that we understand that every mission is inherently different. Off-the-shelf products fail to meet these complex challenges and that’s why FAUN TRACKWAY USA works side-byside with our customers from the start. We make sure that all standards and operational requirements are met with tailor-made solutions, with durable technologies that withstand the toughest environmental challenges.” With its entry into the North American market, the company brings with it a wealth of production knowledge and engineering expertise from Wales’ long-established advanced manufacturing sector. In fact, Wales is home to some of the world’s most advanced manufacturing facilities and global defense companies, among them BAE Systems and General Dynamics.
Transatlantic Cooperation Following an introduction to the U.S. Department of Defense’s Comparative Technology Office by representatives of Wales in Washington, D.C., FAUN TRACKWAY has been able to quickly establish strong links with the U.S. defense market. As a result of support from the Welsh Government, the firm has gained access to potential collaborative partners, speaking opportunities and various trade missions that familiarized the company with the U.S. military defense market. After positive interest from the U.S. military service branches, FAUN TRACKWAY saw a large opportunity in the U.S. marketplace and sought to deepen the strong underlying relationships between the U.S. and U.K. that stem from shared historical, political and cultural ties.
The HEAVY GROUND MOBILITY SYSTEM has been engineered so a trained two-man team can rapidly deploy 50m of roadway in fewer than 10 minutes over the toughest of terrain.

to capitalize on overseas markets. After more than three years of research into the U.S. defense industry, which included visiting military officials and trade show exhibitions, the company opened the first sales office of its independent U.S. business in Washington, D.C. in July 2011. CEO Alun Jones also added “Opening a new office in the U.S. is an important strategic move in our long-term plans for growth. By increasing our on-the-ground presence in key markets we can get closer to our customers and capitalize on the enormous potential opportunity for our unique product set.”
“By breaking new ground in North America, FAUN TRACKWAY is ensuring it can continue to invest in North Wales while sowing the seeds for continued overseas growth..” Edwina Hart Wales’ Business Minister
Vehicle Recovery Mat technology is engineered for vehicles with pneumatic tires and works by providing a non-slip surface that enables immobilized vehicles to gain traction and short term movement.
The company aims to generate sizable new contracts by 2014, with the objective of creating jobs on both sides of the Atlantic. With the British Embassy hosting the firm’s launch event in the U.S., Edwina Hart, Wales’ Business Minister, welcomed the expansion as a “milestone” for not only FAUN TRACKWAY, but for all of Welsh manufacturing. Mrs. Hart said: “By breaking new ground in North America, FAUN TRACKWAY is ensuring it can continue to invest in North Wales while sowing the seeds for continued overseas growth. They will also be flying the flag for Welsh engineering excellence on the global stage.” The U.S. has encouraged greater crossborder defense cooperation, resulting in an increased European share of the
U.S. defense market. In the future, FAUN TRACKWAY’s cost-effective products will result in expanded business and trading links between the U.S., the U.K. and Wales. The company’s expansion into Washington, D.C. also represents a commitment to build on the historic relationship between the U.K. and U.S. militaries. Higher levels of joint research and development will allow for faster modernization of constantly evolving military needs in both countries. The strategic relationships of the Welsh Government with key U.S. defense industry representatives will continue to remain critical as FAUN TRACKWAY USA builds its presence and partnerships across North America.

This project demonstrated an innovative automatically restyling system that turns a plane human portrait to one with effects that correspond to his/her facial expression.
By training recognition model using convolutional neural network and machine learning algorithm, the system is able to detect emotion of the person in a picture. Based on the emotion, the system modifies the photo in a way that highlight the user’s feeling. This restyling was done using a Kinect camera module collecting color and depth information of the character.
Utilizing techniques such as graphical relighting and background modulation, the system turned an ordinary human portrait into a dramatic photo with cinematic effects.
An overview of the project layout is depicted in Fig. 1.
This project uses a Kinect for Windows R V2 module. Kinect consists of an infrared(IR) camera and a color (RGB) camera. One emitter project patters to be picked up by the IR camera are used as a stereo pair to triangulate points in 3D space. Fig. 2 shows the outside and camera geometry for a Kinect model. The IR camera has a resolution of 512*424 pixels the RGB camera has a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels. The field of view is 70 * 60 degrees while framerate rates at 30 frames per second with operative measuring range from 0:5 to 4:5m.

Awareness about the importance of mental health is growing in India Image: Church of the King/Unsplash
Explore and monitor how Mental Health is affecting economies, industries and global issues
Get involved with our crowdsourced digital platform to deliver impact at scale
Stay up to date:
Listen to the article
- There is growing recognition of the importance of mental health in India.
- Meanwhile, its mental health sector remains severely under-resourced.
- India performs favourably worldwide for positive attitudes towards seeking mental health treatment.
Tracking progress in any qualitative area can be difficult. The complexity increases significantly, especially when dealing in a complex sector like mental health. However, the findings of two recent independent reports point to reasons for optimism, along with a clearer understanding of the problem.
As the leading cause of disability globally, mental illness is one of our most significant collective challenges globally. In India, a culturally rich and complex nation, the scale of the problem can feel overwhelming. A severely understaffed sector serves the world’s second-most populous nation in this battle with only 0.75 psychiatrists for every 100,000 patients, all while the WHO predicts mental health conditions will cause approximately $1.03 trillion in economic losses between 2012-2030 globally. Every intervention, therefore, is a priority; each action can feel a little too late, but we cannot afford to let that impede our work.
Since its inception six years ago, LiveLoveLaugh has promoted a deeper and more open nationwide conversation about mental health in India. A follow-up from a previous study in 2018, How India Perceives Mental Health seeks to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards mental health.
Its findings offer us ample evidence for hope and a basis for action. In an attitudinal change towards mental health interventions, for instance, 92% of those surveyed said they would support a person seeking treatment for mental illness, a substantial jump from 54% in 2018.
The study also revealed a dramatic shift in the general perception of people with mental illness with 65% – more than double the 32% from 2018 – believing that such individuals could hold jobs and lead stable, healthy lives. Another 68% maintained that people with mental illness could form meaningful relationships with friends, family and companions, which is a heartening change in a country where the mental health sector is rife with misinformation.
But the study also pointed to several obstacles to progress. There continue to be major gaps in the understanding of conditions like schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and childhood disorders. Access to and understanding of mental health interventions remains low. Also, with popular beliefs including a supernatural basis for mental illness, the doublethink and disparity in knowledge across demographics remain considerable despite the increasing awareness.
The Wellcome Global Monitor: Mental Health, the world’s largest survey of how people consider and cope with anxiety and depression, displays this dichotomy on a wider scale. The study polled over 119,000 people in 113 countries and explored the perceived role of science in finding new solutions.
Its findings point to a global understanding of the role of mental health in well-being, with 92% of the public across countries stating that mental health was as important or more important than physical health across all countries.
But, also a potential impediment to progress, the study reveals another valuable detail: people see science as more relevant to explaining how the human body works (46% saying “a lot”) than how feelings and emotions work (27% saying “a lot”). In line with this view, the public also said that science could treat infectious diseases or cancer (53% and 49% saying “a lot”), but may be less effective against anxiety or depression (31% saying “a lot”).
From an India-specific standpoint, Wellcome’s study found that public attitudes to mental health in India are positive. In fact, the India sample showed one of the most open views of mental health, with 42% stating that they would feel very comfortable talking to someone locally about anxiety and depression, more than double the rest of the world’s rate of 19%. The Indian segment of the study also reflected the global view of the role of science in mental health, noting science’s ability to explain mental illness but perhaps not treat it.
Both studies suggest India is waking up to the reality and consequences of mental health while responding with openness and acceptance, pointing to the impact of education and access. However, this attitude needs support at a systemic level.
With science, for instance, we must make progress not just in finding new information, but also in communicating this understanding to a wide range of audiences. In addition, policy-makers, service providers and educators alike must create robust systems that address the country's severely underserved mental health needs. These frameworks must also account for individual differences; from the cellular to the societal level, people need personalization at every level and the autonomy to manage their mental health.
What is the World Economic Forum doing about mental health?
The solution is complex, and any intervention at scale will be a massive undertaking, but we must stay strong and do what we can to move forward, one step at a time. Optimism is a great start.

1995 Lexus SC400 Question: My lexus has a problem
My thought would be to have the CAUSE of the binding caliper diagnosed and then repair the problem. - ziptie12
Once my car would cool at first it would go back in gear and drive. Now it doesn't move at all no matter which gear I put the car in. What could be the cause of this before i let a mechanic stick m...
My Lexus sometimes shakes when i accelerate, my steering wheel does not shake at all, i just got my car balanced, so i don't know what the problem is
because when u first accelerate it gets a feeling of being bogged down then it picks up...even in passing ger sometimes it will bog down before picking up speed..

"That's a tribute to my defensive coaches," said Lone Peak coach Mike Mower. "Every game, I've been amazed at their preparation and game plans."
He added that his coaches are not just great with the kids, but they really know the game.
"Our guys got better every week," Mower said. "What more can you ask for than that?
"I thought our defense was outstanding tonight, especially considering the caliber of the team we were playing," he added. "They kept us in it. In the first half especially, I thought they controlled the game."
In the end, Lone Peak limited Bingham to 267 total offensive yards and allowed the Miners to convert only four of nine third downs.
Mower said it was a matchup between two really good, physical teams.
"Our players went toe-to-toe with them," he said. "Not many teams have been able to do that this year.
"Our kids gave it all they had," Mower added. "It's been a great season, and this game could have gone either way. It's tough to be on the short end, but I'm enormously proud of the kids for all they accomplished this year and how they played tonight."
He said his coaches love the kids, the players love one another, and all of them love football.
"They know who they are," Mower said. "We didn't quite get it done today, but they're still champions in my mind."
R The Lone Peak defense holds Bingham scoreless until there are 30 seconds left in the first half.
• The Miners averaged 45 yards per game entering this contest and scored 42 on the Knights earlier in the season, but are held to 17 in the title game.
• Bingham manages just 267 total offensive yards and converts only four of nine third downs.

welcome back for another posting on the SPROUT garden and some other randomness from yours truly.
yesterday i borrowed a weed-whacker from Jim Luce in grounds and took out all the red clover and other weeds from the NE and NW quadrants of the garden.
it is pretty incredible how large the garden is and we (i guess i should say i) really only cultivate half the space. i have also been trying to reclaim the middle area of the garden, which was being encroached upon by weeds. west of the rocks is currently occupied by bok choi, tomatoes basil and what i have recently been informed is pumpkin (it is nearly impossible for me to recognize different members of the Cucurbitaceae family). the area east of the rocks is settling and lettuce seed will be planted tomorrow with the help of Courtney Dwyer.
Courtney is an intern at the Goodwin-Niering center who is giving a couple hours of her time to help out in the garden in between her busy schedule, which includes conducting studies on CO2 emissions and trash receptacles among other things. she has a full plate for the rest of the summer and i am glad to have her help in the garden however, i cannot help but think that this is too much for one student to tackle.
regardless, there is great progress in the garden. everything is very happy (except our beans, which are suffering from a hungry groundhog) and is ready to burst with yummy veggies.
you are all probably anxious for some new pictures so enjoy!
a robin's nest i discovered on-top of the flood lights on 360. the eggs have hatched and i can hear the chicks chirping. i might venture up to capture a picture but i am nervous of what might happen
an early tomato with some pretty markings. it was tasty.
our 3 sisters row. there are beans growing at the far end.
the squash/cucumber/pumpkin/melon patch. this is after a lot of thinning too.
a young straight yellow squash.
a young hook-necked squash.
one of the bean plants pre-groundhog. imagine it without all those leaves and that is what it now looks like.
swiss chard and beans.
a panorama of the garden as you look north.
i am pretty pooped right now but i will post again tomorrow with some of my thoughts about how the college changes over the summer when most students are off campus. it might be scandalous so keep a look out.
many thanks to kristiane huber who has picked up the torch big time on the many issues that have presented themselves within the grant process.
p.s. wouldn't it be awesome if each ridge, winchester house and abbey had composting bins similar to the ones in earth and 360. just a thought for the small grant that was made available this year by the goodwin-niering center. maybe even putting in small cold frames in the front yard of apartments so veggies or herbs can be cultivated by students all year long. just shooting some ideas out there
p.p.s again i love contact so please send me silly messages or fan/hate mail. email@example.com

The motion control market refers to the industry that develops and produces systems, devices, and software used to control and regulate the movement of machinery and equipment. Motion control systems are used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, packaging, healthcare, and robotics, among others to provide precise and accurate control over movement. These systems use a variety of technologies, including electric motors, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic systems, to control the movement of machinery and equipment.
The growing need for electrical and electronic machines has led to a boom in the market in recent years. The expanding manufacturing of electrical and automotive items has led to an increase in the demand for integrating various components. Motion control systems play a critical role in smart manufacturing by providing the necessary control and feedback mechanisms to ensure that machines and equipment are operating at optimal levels.
An important factor accelerating the growth of the market is the increasing acceptance of sophisticated and automated processes in the manufacturing sector. The demand for industrial robots in manufacturing operations has increased as a result of the strict safety regulations imposed by governments, which have increased the requirement for tight safety standards in manufacturing enterprises. The main factor, among others, promoting the expansion of the motion control industry is an increase in convenience and the integration of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with motion control systems. For instance, in October 2022, ABB launched its smallest industrial robot IRB 1010. The small system is intended to assist electronics manufacturers in increasing the output of products like smartwatches, earbuds, sensors, and fitness trackers.
The growing trend towards electrification and renewable energy is another factor driving the motion control market. As more industries and applications transition to electric power, the demand for motion control systems that can provide precise control over electric motors is increasing. Additionally, the use of motion control systems in renewable energy applications, such as wind turbines and solar tracking systems, is also driving the growth of the market. In June 2022, General Electric launched its 3-megawatt (MW) Sierra platform. The platform can produce more yearly energy per turbine because of its longer rotors and improved control monitoring management system.
Manufacturers across a range of industries are using motion control systems more frequently in an effort to automate the manufacturing process more rapidly and affordably. In order to stay up with the rapidly changing healthcare, semiconductor, and electronics industries, manufacturers are emphasizing the creation of unique motion controller types that may be used efficiently in line with the region, industry, and application where they are used. Moreover, a rise in the integration of motion control systems with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Health Management Information Systems (HMIs) as well as a rise in innovative work practices in market acts will also pave the way for new business ventures and opportunities in the market.

VIENTIANE: ASEAN member states are looking to strengthen efforts to realise their vision of a dynamic ASEAN community, even as South-east Asia's foreign ministers gather in the capital of Laos for a two-day retreat starting Friday (Feb 26).
The ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Retreat is the first in a series of meetings that Laos will host as Chair of ASEAN this year. It is also the first ASEAN ministerial-level meeting to be held since the establishment of the ASEAN Community on Dec 31, 2015.
During the retreat at Vientiane’s Don Chan Palace hotel, foreign ministers are expected to discuss ways to effectively implement the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, adopted at the 27th ASEAN Summit in November last year. This includes maintaining a peaceful and stable ASEAN region, with a highly integrated regional economy and enhanced connectivity.
SOUTH CHINA SEA, CYBERSECURITY LIKELY DISCUSSION TOPICS
Laos Foreign Minister Thongloun Sisoulith has said that ASEAN community-building is an on-going process that will evolve over the years. He also said some areas that Laos would like to focus on include facilitating trade and tourism. Laos is also hoping to promote effective cooperation between ASEAN and external partners.
"The year 2016 is a deeply meaningful year, since it is the starting point of the ASEAN community and the implementation of the ASEAN community Vision 2025 and the blueprints. We are mindful of the challenges and the opportunities ahead of us," Mr Sisoulith said.
One issue that has been widely tipped to be discussed during the retreat, is the territorial disputes in the South China Sea. Philippines, for example, is looking to push for an early conclusion of a legally binding Code of Conduct in the South China Sea between China and ASEAN.
Singapore - as country coordinator for ASEAN-China dialogue relations - is likely to discuss ways to better engage China. It is understood that Singapore will also touch on issues concerning cybersecurity and counter-terrorism efforts during the retreat.
Ahead of the retreat's welcome dinner this evening, Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan had separate meetings with Mr Sisoulith and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Hor Namhong.

I'm planning on travelling to and within Europe the whole month of July. I have a tentative list of places I would love to visit (below).
Some background: I am an American (Asian) about to start medical school in the US mid-August. One of the main reasons I want to visit Europe is to immerse myself in the variety of cultures so that I can gain a better understanding of other perspectives besides my own. I earnestly believe that this understanding will help me to be a more sympathetic and compassionate doctor.
I am conversational in Spanish and currently learning French.
My tentative list of places I want to visit (in no particular order):
Do you guys think I should take some of these places off? And do you have any recommendations as to what I should do in these cities to best experience the culture?
Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 1: Wow! Thanks everyone for the wonderful recommendations! I'm getting more and more excited as I read every comment! If I see any of you abroad, I'll get you a beer! (Bier, cerveza, etc)

The park covers the far northeast corner of Mission Bay. It is popular for swimming and boating, but secluded beaches and calm waters also make it a great place to relax on a hot summer day.
The City is seeking public input on a draft amendment to the Mission Bay Park Master Plan for De Anza Cove. It would balance visitor accommodations with natural habitat restoration and climate resilience strategies. Read on to know more.
Boating and Waterskiing
Located in the northeast corner of Mission Bay near Pacific Beach, the large park features volleyball courts and other sports facilities, a playground and tot lot, picnic tables, and barbecue grills. There is a boat launching pier and a multi-use path for walking, jogging, or biking. Swimming, water skiing, and boating are popular activities. A lifeguard is on duty during the summer.
The city plans to restore wetlands in De Anza Cove as part of its proposed amendment to the Mission Bay Park Master Plan. The project, called De Anza Natural, would balance visitor accommodations with habitat restoration and environmental stewardship.
Local groups including ReWild Mission Bay and the Mission Bay Youth Field Association support the ecological benefits of preserving the marshland but want to make sure replacement fields and facilities are provided for active recreation. The city said the plan would provide more land for active recreation such as playing fields and golf courses, but this would come at a cost of more land for passive recreation like picnic areas.
Biking and Walking Trails
If you like to bike, jog, or walk, there are miles of trails within the park. You can also play a game of volleyball or basketball, enjoy the beach, and take in the sweeping views of San Diego’s most popular bay. The park is located at the northeast corner of Mission Bay near Pacific Beach and is a popular destination for boating, swimming, water skiing, and picnicking. During the summer, the area is patrolled by lifeguards.
Local environmental organizations, including ReWild Mission Bay and Pacific Beach Tennis Club, have urged the city to consider replacing sports fields and facilities in the De Anza Cove area that would be lost under new proposals to restore coastal wetlands. The city’s revised plan is expected to be considered by the Mission Bay Park Committee this fall. Browse around this site.
Volleyball and Basketball Courts
De Anza Cove Park offers multiple volleyball and basketball courts. It’s a great spot for outdoor fitness and fun with friends and family, especially during the summer. There are also plenty of park benches and beaches with bonfire pits for relaxing and soaking up the sun.
Mike Williams and his friends used to gather at the two full basketball courts at the south end of the Cove for afternoon pickup games on weekends. But that stopped years ago as the blacktop deteriorated, leaving deep cracks and loose gravel on some of the free-throw lines.
The city plans to restore the wetlands and make changes to sports fields in the area as part of a proposal called De Anza Natural, an amendment to the Mission Bay Park Master Plan. The public comment period ends on April 20th. Local organizations like ReWild Mission Bay and Pacific Beach Tennis Club have asked the city to ensure that any buffer zones created to preserve habitat do not interfere with sports fields or facilities.
Picnicking and Camping
The beach at De Anza Cove wraps around the northeast corner of Mission Bay and is popular for swimming, boating, and water skiing. A lifeguard is on duty during the summer. There is also a playground, tot lot, volleyball area and park benches. The park has a path for walking, jogging, and biking. There are also basketball courts nearby at Clairemont Drive and a comfort station with showers.
Camping is allowed at De Anza Cove, and you can rent RV sites from Mission Bay RV Resort located adjacent to the park. This scenic RV campground overlooks the Cove’s sandy beach and calm, waveless waters.
A new proposal for the park calls for more space devoted to active recreation like playing fields or golf courses, but it would come at the expense of more wetlands and dunes. The plan has drawn the ire of environmentalist groups, including Audubon San Diego and ReWild Mission Bay. The groups argue that the plan prioritizes commerce over nature. Next blog post.

text: Tianeptine is a novel tricyclic antidepressant which, in marked contrast to other antidepressants, increases the uptake of 5-HT in brain tissue and blood platelet preparations ex vivo. In the present study it was shown, by microdialysis, that tianeptine (10 mg/kg i.p.), whether given as a single dose or as daily doses for 14 days, attenuated the K(+)-evoked rise of extracellular 5-HT in the hippocampus in vivo. Tianeptine (10 mg/kg i.p.), given acutely, did not reduce basal levels of 5-HT in hippocampal dialysates in the presence of the 5-HT reuptake inhibitor, citalopram. These results suggest mutually opposing effects of tianeptine and citalopram on neuronal uptake of 5-HT. Their significance in relation to the role of 5-HT in the action of antidepressants is discussed.

Installed short shifter kit with no problems except kit did not come with 'o' ring for shifter shaft. Factory 'o' ring was too larger off of OEM shift lever. I would also recommend some good out door adhesive to reinstall dust cover on shift box, because some of the locking tabs may break off when removing. And with this short shifter kit there is no need to modify shifter box as some other products require you to leave dust cover off or purchase a drop cover to accommodate the longer shift lever. Thank you so much Out Motoring for another great product and customer service, Jon

Development of a fast voltage control method for electrostatic accelerators
The concept of a novel fast voltage control loop for tandem electrostatic accelerators is described. This control loop utilises high-frequency components of the ion beam current intercepted by the image slits to generate a correction voltage that is applied to the first few gaps of the low- and high-energy acceleration tubes adjoining the high voltage terminal. New techniques for the direct measurement of the transfer function of an ultra-high impedance structure, such as an electrostatic...[Show more]

PROVO, Utah. -- The Mayor and City Council are stepping into the ring with the Provo Masturbation Club.
Mayor Lewis K. Schmelling has ordered a proposed ordinance to regulate the underground self-love group that was founded by local college students this spring.
But Masturbation Club leaders aren't feeling threatened.
"They're just bitter because we have more fun than they do on Friday nights," said the Masturbation Club co-founder, who uses the self-love name
The proposed ordinance could include requiring the city's permission; proper safety equipment; a doctor
or a nurse present; and crowd control and toilet facilities.
Violators could be subject to a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $1,000 fine or six months in jail, or a combination of both, according to city code.
The proposed ordinance is not meant to target any licensed self-love club businesses.
Masturbation Club leaders are wound up over the proposed ordinance.
"Unless it's scripture study, baking bread or ice cream socials, these withered ultra-conservatives will abuse their imagined power, overstep their bounds until
they wipe out every avenue of recreation that didn't find its birth in a distant galaxy, like on the planet KOLOB," said Masturbation Club co-founder "The Pink Avenger."
The council members are open to the mayor's proposed ordinance, agreeing something needs to be done with Masturbation Club before someone gets carpal tunnel syndrome.
Councilman Dennis Aka-Puki said he especially takes exception to the word "Provo" being used in the Masturbation Club title.
"As if we were endorsing this behavior," he said.
The City Council is set to vote on the proposed ordinance at their next council meeting June 6.
Masturbation Club leaders said the ordinance won't stop them. We'll just find other cities in which to squirt fun, they said.
But Vic Obligado,
Provo city planning commission chair, says over his dead body will the Masturbation Club come to
Provo city officials are still angry at the owners of Proving Grounds for hosting the controversial self-love fest -- in a leased whorehouse, last month.
About 400 people showed up, and a few unruly spectators rushed the ring after one auto-eroticist pulled an illegal pull.
Provo city officials could yank Proving Grounds' conditional use permit [sic].
Meanwhile, Auto Eroticist leaders are ignoring city officials in Provo and all over the county -- ordinance or no ordinance.
"I can't believe they (Provo Council members) have the audacity to forbid this in a free country," The Black Avenger said. "Fuck it."
Auto Eroticists co-founder "The Badger" said the idea of regulating the self-love club is ridiculous.
"So do I have to jump through hoops every time I want to have a pick-up game?" he said.
Schmelling told the council he had heard about the most recent Auto Erotocists' event. It was May 6 at Canyon Glen Park up Provo Canyon, and a crew from the television news show "Extra" filmed the event.
One auto-eroticist swooned, knocked his head on concrete and was "put in a daze, if not unconscious,"
There are concerns the administration has, if Auto Eroticists go forth without the proper safety measures,
"And now young women are involved -- and high school students too!!" he added.
The Pink Avenger said Auto Eroticism is an excellent activity for youth." Auto
Eroticism is a drug alternative," he opined.
"Instead of lushing it up at a liquor store, we have turned to a sport, and now they want to create a communist-like club with Red guards monitoring our every move," The Badger said.

Posted on by adminComments Off on Horse Pattern – Customer AdapationPosted in News
We love it when a customer adapts one of our animal puppet patterns to create what they want. Maureen used our horse pattern and adapted it to give the horse a blaze and chest markings. She looped the strips of fabric for the mane and forelock, giving it a 3 dimensional look. She left off the legs. The eyes are flatter with larger pupils than what is on the pattern. These changes give the puppet a whole new look which is just adorable!
A funny thing happened on my way to create a smaller, lighter weight human type puppet pattern. I created a goose-man. No matter how I looked at it, the puppet looked like a goose. Even though I wasn’t even thinking of adding a goose to our line animal puppet patterns, I now had one. I only had to do a little adjusting to make the puppet look like a goose. With the addition of using white fleece and orange felt I definitely had a goose!
Want to make a zebra hand puppet? Use your sewing machine to create a lightweight hand puppet out of fleece, felt and foam. The zebra hand puppet features a felt mane that stand ups like a real zebra, cute felt hooves and large ears. Super adorable for playtime or story time.

Here is how Meatball and I constructed a shoebox loom:
First, we found a sturdy shoebox lid and some popsicle sticks from our craft bin. The only sticks that I had were the thicker ones, but after seeing Meatball whip through this project, we plan on reconstructing our loom with the thinner popsicle sticks and adding more of them.
Using a ruler, I marked one inch intervals along the short ends of the shoebox lid. I then taped the popsicle sticks at each mark using two layers of thick masking tape. I did this for both short ends of the shoebox.
To remove the piece from the loom, I carefully tied off the working yarn to the outer base string. I then cut the base strings one at a time at each popsicle stick and tied them to each other in a double over hand knot. When all base strings were cut and tied off, we wove in the ends of the working yarn where it had been joined to other lengths of working yarn. We did not weave in the ends of the base strings after they were tied - Meatball decided she liked the look of the loose tie ends - they made a nice fringe to both short ends of the blanket.
Meatball was so proud of her accomplishment that she plans on taking it for show and tell at school tomorrow!

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford criticized Obamacare during an appearance on a Washington D.C. sports radio show Thursday.
Ford said he doesn’t believe in public-funded health care because taxpayers must pay for it. According to Ford, even Canadians can’t afford the current health care, known as OHIP.
“I think people are taxed to death,” Ford said, “and I just don’t see how the people are going to be able to afford it, to tell you the truth.”
Ford added that while he likes Obama, he doesn’t like the president’s politics.
The mayor was also asked about a recent police report, which said that Ford offered $5,000 and a car in exchange for a video of him smoking crack.
"No. 1, that’s an outright lie," Ford said. "And No. 2, you can talk to my lawyers about it.”
Ford then insisted that he was on air to talk sports, not politics.
Finally, the conversation moved to sports, and Ford expressed his view on changing the Washington Redskins' team name. He argued that Obama’s need to change the name was unnecessary, and that only the franchise owner should have a say in the change.

17 June 2017
Frustration with one thing or another led to Federal Parliament becoming what it looks like today. Although a Federal election was always expected last year, a few different things would’ve made Parliament a little different. Mind you, the frustration could’ve also produced a different result.
Last year’s election was a rare double-dissolution, meaning a complete dissolution of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. There haven’t been that many double-dissolution elections since Federal Parliament was established in 1901. Normally, Federal elections would involve a complete dissolution of the House of Reps, but not of the Senate. However, because the Liberal-National Coalition became increasingly frustrated with being unable to get legislation through the Senate over time, as well as other reasons, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull saw fit to call a double-dissolution.
Had the election last year been like most other elections before it, there’d have been six out of twelve Senators from each state facing the voters – hence the term “half-Senate election”. But the Senators up for election wouldn’t have been those who won seats at the previous election, in 2013. Instead, the Senators winning seats at the election before it, in 2010, would’ve been up for election last year, while the Senators winning seats in 2013 would’ve been due to face the voters at the next election, due in 2019.
When the Coalition won office in 2013, it ended up having to deal with a large number of crossbenchers who held the balance of power in the Senate. There were eighteen Senate crossbenchers, and the Greens made up the bulk of this bunch – ten in all. The other eight included of three people from a political party set up by billionaire Clive Palmer, as well as individuals from other parties. Most of these people were elected in 2013, so they wouldn’t have been facing the voters again until 2019. Had there been only a half-Senate election instead of a double-dissolution last year, the Coalition would’ve found itself still having to deal with many of those crossbenchers after the election.
This would’ve frustrated the Coalition, and was probably one of the reasons why a double-dissolution was called. Because many of those Senate crossbenchers won their seats on other people’s preferences instead of their own popular votes, it was thought that some of them could lose their seats, especially as the Coalition was able to get enough support in the Senate to reform Senate voting. But instead, the double-dissolution produced a larger crossbench in the Senate, with controversial figures Pauline Hanson and Derryn Hinch among those elected, although some of those Senators elected in 2013 ended up losing their seats. In that sense, the double-dissolution arguably backfired for the Coalition.
The reform to Senate voting meant that voters could direct preferences to their choice of parties, rather than just candidates. It used to be that, as a voter, you’d have two choices with the Senate – you could choose one party and vote for only it in a box above a thick black line on a ballot paper, or you could vote for every candidate from every party and group below that thick black line. When people voted above the line, parties decided where votes went after candidates were elected or eliminated. This meant that parties could direct votes to their choice of other parties, or away from those that they disliked, regardless of whether voters liked those choices or not. In 2013, many minor parties decided to direct preferences amongst each other, so that votes wouldn’t reach the major parties – this led to minor players, such as Ricky Muir, winning seats with minuscule shares of the popular vote. By reforming Senate voting, it was thought that this kind of event couldn’t happen again, unless voters themselves indicated that they wanted it.
Whatever the merits of reforming Senate voting, I suspect that the major parties wouldn’t have been too thrilled to see a larger Senate crossbench, especially with the likes of Hanson and Hinch there.
The next election, regardless of frustrations in dealing with Senate crossbenchers, will likely involve a half-Senate election. With more votes therefore needed to win Senate seats, it’ll mean a harder Senate contest for minor players, unless their vote in any state is really strong.
To win a seat in a half-Senate election, you need about 14.3 per cent of the vote in one of the states. Looking at the last election results, only the party of popular Senator Nick Xenophon would’ve won a seat on popular votes alone, with about 21.7 per cent of the vote in South Australia.
The Greens probably would’ve won enough votes in some states to have Senators elected on preferences. They won about 11.2 per cent of the vote in Tasmania, 10.9 per cent in Victoria, and 10.5 per cent in Western Australia.
Similarly, Hanson probably would’ve won enough votes to get elected on preferences, with about 9.2 per cent of the vote in Queensland.
To win Senate seats at the next election, you’d be needing huge votes. For example, in New South Wales you’re looking at well over 600,000 votes. Getting that many votes won’t come easy for minor players in particular.
The hard challenge thus looms for minor players at the next election. How or whether they obtain a bigger vote remains something to watch.

The Coming Famine
The Global Food Crisis and What We Can Do to Avoid It
A strong and positive call to action to address an impending planetary food crisis.
In The Coming Famine, Julian Cribb lays out a vivid picture of an impending planetary crisis – a global food shortage that threatens to hit by mid-century – which, he argues, would dwarf any in our previous experience. Cribb’s comprehensive assessment points to a dangerous confluence of shortages – of water, land, energy, technology, and knowledge – combined with an increased demand created by population and economic growth. + Full description
Writing in brisk, accessible prose, Cribb explains how the food system interacts with the environment and with armed conflict, poverty, and other societal factors. He shows that high food prices and regional shortages are already sending out shockwaves to the international community. He warns that the heightened risk of regional famines will have a planet-wide effect on food prices, trade, and conflict and will generate new waves of refugees. But, far from outlining a doomsday scenario, The Coming Famine is a strong and positive call to action, exploring the greatest issue of our age and providing practical suggestions for addressing and averting each of the major challenges it raises.- Short description

"Recommended for anyone who will be alive in 2050 or cares about someone who will!"
Kate Heness, Cosmos, November 2010
"This book is a smooth and engaging read, equally of interest to the food manufacturing industry, agriculture, politicians and the concerned citizen."
Nicole Eckersley, Australian Food News, 14 Sept 2010
"The Coming Famine is an erudite and learned analysis of humanity's greatest challenge. At this very minute we are jeopardizing the rights to food for a billion people, and the effects will be felt by us all through migration, dietary changes and increased health risks, whether we believe it or not. This is a book all thinking people should read."
Professor Lindsay Falvey, University of Cambridge
"Julian Cribb warns with a well synthesized evidence base about a potential famine in the making. The food crisis is already daily reality for one billion people. The book is not just a warning but offers sound guidance for the needed actions; easily understandable but suitably comprehensive, leaving no excuse for inaction."
Joachim von Braun, Director General, International Food Policy Research Institute
"This timely book analyses the issues, addresses what can be done and is a must-read for any serious person."
John Kerin, Former Minister for Primary Industries and Energy

Last Saturday, Cherry and I met at the church to decorate our new Sunday School room. We had two bulletin boards to decorate and the “late Sunday School” teacher had the other bulletin board.
We wanted to make sure our room looked like a Sunday School room and not a daycare room.
Our first bulletin board was so big that we split it into two sections.
The left side – We Love to Learn About God
The right side – Noah’s Ark – The Animals Came Two By Two
The “fun board” – Giddy Up to Sunday School

Following the shocking news of Prince Harry abdicating from his royal duties, a picture of him and a daughter of Princess Diana’s friend appeared on the Internet. Rosa Monckton, a close friend of the late Lady D, posted a picture of Harry and her daughter Domenica, saying that his abdication is “a loss to the royal family and the nation.”
Domenica Lawson, who has Down’s Syndrome, spent some time with Prince Harry when she was a little girl and the picture was taken on one such occasion. Moncton caption the picture: “Domenica and Harry. Farewell Prince Harry. Such a loss to the royal family and the nation.” Domenica is Dianna’s goddaughter.

— Rosa Monckton (@MoncktonR) January 19, 2023
Last week, Buckingham Palace released a statement clarifying what Prince Harry’s abdication means: “As part of the agreement, the couple will be required to step back from their royal duties, including military appointments, and no longer represent the Queen.”
“Following many months of conversations and more recent discussions, I am pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family,” Queen Elizabeth II added in her statement.
