3rd Party Inspection for Steel Structure
This content is general regarding the extent of inspection normally required for structural steel work supplied piece small or for partially assembled structures. The content may be used for platforms, ladders, hoppers, ducting, pipe track support systems, overhead transmission line, support pylons, frame sections of buildings. All steel structure inspection and tests are carried out against the approved drawings, purchase order specifications, purchasers or company standards, and within the practices and rules of the country, state or province and any government decrees, laws, ordinance or regulation as may apply. The applicable codes and specifications for the steel structure which is under construction process are:
Design code Purchase order specification Purchaser's standards Approved drawings And the applicable codes and standards is: ANSI/AWS D1.1. ANSI/AWS D1.5. EN 1090-2 AISC The applicable codes and standard may be based other international standards such as BS 449 and etc. Required Documents for Third Party Inspector Review:
The list of documents normally is agreed in the Pre Inspection meeting which is hold several weeks before actual commencement of inspection work. The parties which are participated in this meeting are manufacture, purchaser and third party inspection agency representatives. These are the list of documents which are normally agreed to be presented to the inspector:
Steel Structure Manufacture Quality Control Plan Steel Structure Inspection and test plan Steel Structure Data Sheet Steel Structure Approved Drawings Steel Structure Strength calculation sheets Steel Structure Material Test Reports Steel Structure Welding Specification Procedures (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) Steel Structure Conformity Certificates for fastenings Steel Structure Welders Qualifications Reports Steel Structure NDE procedures Steel Structure NDE Personnel qualifications Reports Steel Structure Calibration Certificates for Test Equipment Steel Structure Preparation and Painting Procedure Steel Structure Packing and Shipping Procedure Steel Structure Packing List Third Party Inspection for Steel Structure - Material Inspection The first actual inspection work in the Steel Structure is raw materials inspection. The Original or authenticated copies of mill certificates normally are available at the manufacturer’s premises. These are examined for compliance with the appropriate specification. The third party inspector examines these certificates for compliance with specifications and where appropriate, drawings. The review includes checks on: Certificate No. Heat or cast No. Chemical composition. Mechanical properties. Heat treated condition. NDE applied and results. Then the inspector witnesses the material identification on the certificates against marking. It is also necessary to check with steel structure drawing datasheet, material list and other specification as appropriate. Visual inspection for surface finish and probable defects need to be done and dimensional compliance with specification need also to be controlled. When third party inspector carried out the material inspection, then provides inspection visit report, the report contains following items: Confirmation of satisfactory document review Record of the endorsement of certification reviewed/witnessed Record of all non-conformities Record of any tests witnessed and the result Third Party Inspection for Steel Structure - Fabrication When the Steel Structure material inspection carried out and result was satisfactory or non-conformities closed by remedial action, then Steel Structure manufacture will be authorised to start fabrication. The third party Inspector checks following points on Steel Structure based on the inspection and test plan (ITP) which is already agreed between purchaser and Steel Structure manufacture. The inspection scope is determined in ITP, some clients prefer to have stringent control and put the TPI inspector in more “hold points” in fabrication activities and some others may take lesser “hold points” and put TPI much more in the review document. This depend to the inspection budget which client assign for inspection, much more inspection will have much more costs and less risks and conversely less more inspection will have less costs but more risks. For more detail review Inspection and Test Plan for Steel Structure article. There is draft ITP in this article which I believe it is the best practice for Steel Structure inspection. Third Party Inspection for Steel Structure - Welded Structure The third party inspector controls following points while production continues: Cleanliness and fit up of weld preparation Tacking up welds of good appearance Welding process approved Welders properly qualified Test coupons compiled where necessary NDE procedures properly applied and approved Completed weld profiles are acceptable If third party inspector is not in the hold or witness point in these stages, then will review steel structure quality control report in his coming visit or in final inspection day. Third Party Inspection for Steel Structure - Bolted or Riveted Structures The third party inspector controls following points while production continues: Dimensional check on pre-drilled parts Correct fastening being used Trial assembly of sub-structures If third party inspector is not in the hold or witness point in these stages, then will review steel structure quality control report in his coming visit or in final inspection day. Third Party Inspection for Steel Structure - Rust Prevention/Painting Inspection After completion of all fabrication the painting process is started under supervision of third party inspector, the inspection is done based approved procedure. Following points are taken in account while the structures are under painting process: Items have been prepared for coating as per specification requires Proper records of surface preparation and coating build up have been kept Paying particular attention to drying times/times between coats. Painted surfaces are free from drips, runs and bare areas. Dry film thickness measurements are checked. If third party inspector is not in the hold or witness point in these stages, then will review steel structure quality control report in his coming visit or in final inspection day.

King Misuzulu’s lawyers demand nearly R9m in unpaid legal fees from KZN government
The lawyers have threatened to take further legal action if the fees were not paid.

Lawyers representing Zulu King Misizulu kaZwelithini have reportedly given KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) government 30 days to pay nearly R9 million in legal fees owed to them.
The Zulu King’s lawyers, who represented the monarch in legal battles related to the throne and other matters, have written to KZN premier Nomusa Dube-Ncude in a letter, which they demand the outstanding fees from 2023.
The Sunday Times has reported that the lawyers has repeatedly sent invoices amounting to R8.5 million, but haven’t been paid yet.
Payment arrangement were apparently agreed upon by then acting KZN premier Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu and the lawyers in the presence of Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa and MEC Siboniso Duma in a meeting held in September 2023.
Zulu King lawyers threaten legal action
The lawyers, in the letter dated 3 January, threatened to take further legal action if the fees were not paid.
The provincial legislature later approved a budget of R20 million to fund the King’s legal battles.
The royal house told the publication that it was astounded that the fees had not been paid.
An extract lifted from the lawyers’ letter read: “We record that on numerous occasions we submitted various invoices to the office of the premier for payment as per the instructions of both his majesty and the premier, emanating from an executive decision to the effect that payment of legal fees and disbursements on behalf of his majesty, in respect of the above matters, will be made by the premier.”
The letter further stated that despite the above undertaking for payment, “no payment whatsoever has been made to date”.
Zulu throne battle
In December, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria ruled that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to recognise King Misuzulu as the rightful heir to the throne, following the death of Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu in 2021, was unlawful and invalid.
While the court did not rule that the king should step aside, it ordered that Ramaphosa appoint a committee to investigate allegations of violation of customary laws in the identification of King Misuzulu.
Additionally, the Zulu King was ordered to pay the costs of his half-brother, Prince Simakade Zulu.
Ramaphosa is appealing the court’s judgment.

The morning after Thanksgiving, let them eat … cookies
A handful of fresh cranberries, part of a can of pumpkin puree, extra chopped nuts and a lone apple that didn't make it into pie - after hosting a holiday feast, it's inevitable that you will wind up with tasty odds and ends like these. But instead of throwing them out, contributing to the shocking 27 million tons of food wasted each year (as per a new study from the food waste coalition ReFED), why not spin them into something irresistibly delicious?
These fragrant breakfast treats are designed to use up the remnants of a holiday meal, but they are far from your average leftover concoction. They are an utterly enticing way to start the day or energize an afternoon. Something of a cross between a muffin and a cookie, they are chock-full of healthful goodies: fresh chunks of apple, tangy bursts of cranberry, crunchy nuts and chewy dried fruit. A pumpkin-spiced, lightly maple-sweetened mix of whole-wheat flour and hearty rolled oats binds them together.
They are also easy to assemble, freeze well and … hey, they are cookies (for breakfast!), so they have an inherently fun and festive essence. Once you try them you'll want more soon, and since they are made with ingredients you'll most likely have on hand throughout the entertaining season, you won't have to wait for leftovers to make them.

Budget Analysis has been saved
Leading the Mauritian economy in a challenging era
Charting towards a high-income, inclusive society
The Finance Minister, Honourable Pravind Kumar Jugnauth delivered his third Budget Speech, fourth of the present Government, with the overall objective of further transforming Mauritius into a high-income inclusive economy. He faces the challenging task of steering the economy in a context of growing uncertainties and challenges, both domestic and global, characterised as well by heightened expectations from all segments of the Mauritian society.
On the global front, divergence of views on trade issues at the G7 summit in Canada last week combined with mounting trade tensions between the US and China raises the risk of a revival of trade protectionism, which would not be in the interest of Mauritius. The decision of the Fed to raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points this Wednesday coupled with clear signals for further hikes over the next year, intensifies the need for open economies like Mauritius to monitor capital outflows closely.
Domestic challenges include the increasingly apparent economic growth stagnation in the range of 3 percent – 4 percent since 2011, a sustained surge in headline inflation from 1 percent in January 2017 to 5 percent in March 2018 driven by core inflationary pressures and a stabilisation of private investment to GDP at a low of 17 percent since 2015. The prevalence of high consumption with considerable import content, increasing frailty of traditional export pillars despite continued targeted assistance and preferential exchange rates, and changes to the Global Business environment warrant the attention of the authorities.

Deloitte Belgium supports Fund Isaan, a charity established by Deloitte partner Rony Wuytjens to raise the level of education in one of Thailand’s poorest regions. Its goal is to improve the livelihoods of students in Isaan, and by extension their families and communities as well.
Fund Isaan addresses the importance of education through scholarships, volunteers, and computer classrooms installed at rural schools. Every year since 2007, six lucky Deloitte volunteers have helped Fund Isaan fulfil its mission by travelling to Thailand to teach English to children and teachers. Read more about the experiences of two Deloitte professionals who made an impact in Isaan this year!
Working as a foreign teacher in a school with basically no infrastructure was a real eye-opener for me. Many of the experiences are very transferable to my personal life and my work at Deloitte.
Learning to adapt
Davy De Cock: Learning to assimilate with the culture and understand why they do certain things or apply certain methods makes it a lot easier to deliver the high quality results people expect. Identifying this goal at the start of your project increases your chances of succeeding in the end.
Elisa Engel: Spending six weeks in the Isaan region showed me the importance of living within a community and making the well-being of their people a priority.
My motivation to volunteer is investing in our future. This definitely applies to the poorest regions in the world, where I believe education is one of the keys to fighting poverty.
Connecting with others
Elisa Engel: My goal was to motivate the children and use my creativity to teach English in an enjoyable and memorable way. I also helped the teachers improve their English and teaching methods.
Davy De Cock: Connecting on a personal and cultural level to gain trust is important before starting to make an impact. It’s necessary to do this step by step without trying to change everything at once.
Making an impact
Davy De Cock: In rural Thailand, people tend to use a lot of plastic, and they also still burn their garbage. Although they could understand when I explained the concept of responsible recycling, they only switched their behaviour after I bought a lunchbox for the children in my host family and set the example. There is impact in the small things we do every day. Set your own expectations and live up to them.
Elisa Engel: I’ve always been a big believer in the fact that if we want to improve our future, one of the best means is to invest time in children, whether in a prosperous or a developing country. I am happy to still be in contact with many of the students, teachers, and my host family even though my onsite teaching assignment is finished. My most important message to them was to never stop trying, to not be afraid to make mistakes, and to always believe in themselves.

Mahatma Gandhi went on a five day fast and called off the Non Cooperation movement in 1922 after the Chauri-Chaura incident. His fast was completely justified because of the circumstances prevailing at that time and the ideological conflicts inflicted by the unfortunate incident.
The form of the movement that Gandhiji lead always had a vital constraint of Non-violence on it and it had zero tolerance for violence and any such intended moves whatever may be the reason behind. His fast was justified not merely as a way to show repentance about the wrongdoing by the people involved there but it was a message to the society that violence is an evil and someone has to become the picture of suffering if violence is used to achieve satyagaraha. By this fast, Gandhiji also setup a new mark of being a true leader of the masses against the colonial govt., who could take the responsibility of both, the good and the evil done by his followers.
Gandhiji understood the fact that the revolution can be brought out by a fearless mass struggle against the colonialism and a fearless mass participation against the Britishers can be achieved only if the masses do not resort to violence or raise themselves up in arms as the severe repression of such struggles was evident from the Swadeshi era. Also his ideologies were very clear on the fact that only the demand of truth can bring in the desired change and achieving truth never requires violence as a means.
Being the leader of the masses he chose the tough way to make it clear it to the masses that his leadership and the non-violence has somewhere been overshadowed by the momentary emotions of his people, who, though, were working for the same agenda, could not understand the underlying rules.
The moral conviction on Non-violence which Gandhiji brought in through his fast was completely justified in the way of establishing the clear meaning of the non-violence and a fearless struggle as part of his movement for the upcoming decades as well.


The government will only approve new lines in large cities with high projected ridership. Commuter rails and trams are cheaper, but are not without caveats.

Last month, residents in the city of Weifang in Shandong Province, population 9.4 million, asked city officials for a subway line, and they were told the central government had stopped approving new subway lines. Earlier in May, people in Hunan were told the same thing. No new subways for cities that don’t already have one, if they can’t pass a strict test.
China built more than 4,800 kilometers of subway in the 2010s, bringing its total network to 6,000 kilometers, more than Europe and North America combined. But since then, the government dampened the construction fervor to prevent runaway debt. A document issued in 2018 by National Development and Reform Commission mandated that new subway lines can only be built in cities with more than 3 million people, at least 300 billion yuan (US$45 billion) of annual GDP, and more than 30 billion yuan of public budget a year. For light rail, the thresholds are half as high. There are also requirements for expected passenger numbers.
Last year, the government approved new subway lines in only three cities – Foshan, Qingdao and Wuxi. No new lines have been approved this year so far, although two cities were allowed to upgrade their existing blueprints. Suzhou will extend 137-kilometer Phase III by another 20 kilometers, and Dongguan will bury a longer stretch underground than planned.
The government requires new subway lines to have at least 7,000 riders per kilometer per day (4,000 for light rails) upon opening. To put the number in context, Shenzhen Metro, the busiest system in China, has 14,200 riders per kilometer per day. Shanghai Metro, the largest in the country, has 12,800 riders per kilometer per day. Only seven cities in the entire country meet the threshold, most having had subways for decades.
Even the largest and busiest systems are subsidized since tickets can’t cover operating costs. Beijing Subway received 21.4 billion yuan last year. Suzhou handed out more than 6 billion yuan. Remarkably, Shenzhen and Guangzhou needed less than 200 million yuan in subsidies, but only because the operating companies were able to supplement their incomes through real estate development.
The central government encourages commuter rails, which can reach farther and are much cheaper to build. Some cities, such as Nanjing, have commuter rails as extensions to their subway systems. Some smaller cities, such as Wenzhou, have opted for commuter rail only. The most recent project approved is a 71-kilometer line that connects Deyang with Chengdu in Sichuan Province, budgeted at 400 million yuan per kilometer. Chengdu Metro Phase IV cost 746 million yuan per kilometer.
The government says commuter rails should “run like buses.” A design guideline issued last year says trains should run at 15-minute intervals (10 minutes during peak hours) or more frequently, and that transfers between subways, commuter rails, and the national railroad should be easy.
Cities and companies have also been trying subway alternatives including trams and elevated railways in less busy areas. Chengdu and Wuhan both have sky trains under construction. Car maker BYD has developed a low-cost, low-noise rubber-tired tram.
ZHONG Zhang, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, says cities should weigh the benefits and costs of public transportation and decide what works the best. Subways are good for dense urban cores where land is scarce and expensive, while smaller cities should be free to build above-ground rails.
LIU Qian, general manager at China Railway Engineering Design and Consulting Group, says cities should think beyond the rail. Urban railways, often seen as a cheaper alternative to subways in lower-density areas, can exacerbate rather than solve congestion. Zhuhai in Guangdong Province decommissioned a 2.6-billion-yuan tram system after only three years of use due to poor construction quality and rampant delays. Buses, on the other hand, can work wonders if properly managed.

You may have the ability to create effects, such as up-lighting key focal points of a room, drawing the eyes upward with track lighting inside architectural areas, or surely the ability to brighten and dim certain lights on command. You can switch a table lamp off to illuminate the room more fully from overhead and above all, you can create appropriate moods using the lighting in your home. Why shouldn’t it be the same way in your outdoor living spaces?

Experience: 15 Years Teaching (12 in Poland, 2 in UK, 1 in USA)
Core coaching Beliefs:
1. Controlling what the club is doing in the impact zone is the key to solid powerful golf shots. I coach players to synchronise the movement of the club and the body, which results in a more consistent impact position.
2.If we focus on the target or what the club is doing, then the body should respond in an appropriate manner. My goal is for you to swing a golf club without thinking about what your head, arms or hips are doing.
3. The golf swing is best learned as a whole motion, rather than a series of positions. By relating to movements in other sports or in life I help players find their optimum swing motion, which above all should be tension free and flowing with energy.

A 63-year-old file containing legal opinion on Article 35A has vanished from North Block’s high-security vaults at a time the provision, which grants special rights and privileges to permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir, faces a legal challenge to its constitutionality, reports The Telegraph.
Quoting sources, the newspaper reports said the 1954 file contained the then attorney-general’s opinion justifying the insertion of Article 35A into the Constitution that year through a presidential order rather than a constitutional amendment.
“Our employees are frantically searching for the file, which is crucial to the case as we have to convey our stand in the Supreme Court at the next hearing on August 29,” a senior Union home ministry official is quoted to have said.
He said the file had disappeared from the ministry’s legal and administrative records section, perhaps during the ministry’s Swachh Bharat campaign between June 22 and 26 in 2015 when it weeded out hundreds of old files.
“All section officers had undertaken the drive, which was meant to get rid of the old and less-important documents,” the official said.
Many in Kashmir fear that the Sangh-BJP would be only too glad to see the courts strike down Article 35A, which is a stumbling block to any attempts to change the demography of India’s only Muslim-majority state. The parivar has been historically opposed to the state’s special status.
“It’s a procedural matter, and it’s up to the Supreme Court to decide. The attorney-general (K.K. Venugopal) is preparing the reply to be submitted before the court on August 29,” an official said.
“He had recently asked for the 1954 file, which is when we realised that it had disappeared.”
Article 35A also allows the Jammu and Kashmir legislature to frame laws without attracting any challenge on the ground of violating the right to equality of people from other states.
Pertinently J&K’S four top ministers are in Delhi to build support in favour of Article 35A


During my recent visit to Israel, Iran was one of the major topics of discussion. I spoke with political, military and intelligence officials about the threat posed by Iran's nuclear weapons program. The prevailing attitude about this threat was markedly different than my previous visit to Israel in late 2006.
At that time, in the aftermath of the war in Lebanon, Iran was the main item of discussion on virtually everyone's agenda and was described in almost biblical terms as "the existential" threat to the state of Israel. While Israelis are rightfully concerned about Iran's potential acquisition of a nuclear weapon, they appear to have gathered more information on the Iranian program and put it into a slightly different perspective. Now they view Iran's program as "an" existential threat - there are more than one, including the Palestinian issue. While Iran is still the major threat to Israel, it was not the all-consuming issue it was in 2006.
Israeli intelligence (Mossad) analysts believe that Iran will have amassed enough low-enriched uranium (LEU) that can be processed into sufficient highly-enriched uranium (HEU) for one nuclear weapon by the end of 2009. To begin processing the LEU into HEU required for a weapon, Iran will have to withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Withdrawing from the NPT will erase any doubts about the true intentions of Iran's nuclear program.
What are Israel's current options? Can something be done before Iran withdraws from the NPT? Is the military option the only option that will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon?
A coherent Israeli position is emerging. Almost all Israelis believe that the Iranians are the primary threat to the country and that deterrence is the preferred option. Failing deterrence, military action will be necessary. Successful military action against the Iranian program will be difficult, but the Israelis may believe they have no other option.
According to Likud Knesset member Yuval Shteinitz, Iran will have a nuclear weapon within two years. He favors telling the Iranians that if they do not cease their program by a certain date, military action is unavoidable. He believes this will be effective because the Iranians halted their program temporarily after the American invasion of Iraq - specifically the fall of Baghdad - since they thought they might be next.
Former National Security Council Chairman Major General (Reserve) Uzi Dayan (with author in photo) favors sanctions on Iran as the initial means of pressuring Iran to stop their uranium enrichment program. In addition to a boycott on Iranian oil and prevention of imports of refined gasoline and diesel, Dayan proposes a maritime inspection protocol of vessels bound for Iranian ports.
While that would likely be effective, the international community is too sensitive to Persian Gulf oil flows that support for such measures would be hard to gather. Quarantining ports is tantamount to an act of war. Since there is little international support for the level of sanctions required to ameliorate Iranian behavior, Dayan believes Israel must be prepared to execute a unilateral military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Likud leader Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu (with author in photo), currently the front runner to win the prime minister position in the February 10 elections, believes that Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons is a greater threat to the world than the current economic crisis. He too favors a military option if the international community is unable or unwilling to solve the Iranian nuclear issue.
Assuming Israel has decided on the military option, their prospects are not good. How will the aircraft fly from their bases in Israel to a target located 200 miles inside Iran?
There are three possible ways to get there – either through Turkey (green), Saudi Arabia (red) or Iraq (blue), possibly a combination of all three, or even the use of Jordanian airspace as well.
In any case, the route is a one-way trip of at least 1200 miles. Even though Turkey and Israel have had a defense agreement since 1996, Israel's recent actions in Gaza have soured their relationship with Turkey and may have jeopardized this option. Use of Turkish airspace lengthens the route, but keeps the aircraft in relatively friendly airspace the longest (assuming American-controlled Iraqi airspace is friendly), but requires American support with Iraqi airspace issues for Israeli refueling tankers, or the use of U.S. Air Force tankers.
Any of these options presents a high risk of failure. See my earlier analyses of these military options:
- Iran - Israel's Air Strike Options (March 2006)
- Iran - Israel's Air Strike Options Update (June 2008)
The question is, will Israel sit by as Iran develops a nuclear weapon? My guess is no.

The impact society has on the progress and acceptance of new science - and vice versa - is greater than most people think. For instance, over the past five years, events indicate that citizens views have helped change the focus of the research and development carried out by both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by the Environmental Protection Agency. Likewise, citizen actions have influenced the direction of the activities of organizations such as the World Bank in their efforts to improve agriculture and living conditions in the developing nations of the world. The new Science and Society set not only highlights the what of science, but also the why, the how, and the who. Each volume provides an accessible, authoritative view of the history and current state of a particular issue. With a focus on humanizing science, this set brings each subject - from air pollution to nuclear power to natural medicines - to life by showing students all the factors that motivate research and revealing how scientists compete and collaborate with one another. By exploring the connections between science and society, especially in controversial areas, each book illustrates both how society supports science and how science in return supports society. Each volume includes an introduction providing an overview of the topic, complete chapter-by-chapter coverage, dozens of black-and-white photographs and line illustrations, a helpful index and glossary, lists of websites and suggestions for further reading that allow readers quick access to detailed information.

I'm in the process of setting up my third .300 Win. Mag. It is this Kimber 8400 L.A. Police Tactical Model.
I haven't decided on the scope yet, but I'm leaning torward the excellent Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical in 5-15X. I have 4 of these scopes and every one of them has delivered fantastic results. The factory supplied rail is of steel and has a 20 MOA forward cant.
As far as loads I pretty much have but one in the .300 Win. Mag., and that is the Sierra 190 Gr. Matchking sitting on top of 72.2 grains of IMR 4831 powder. This has been one of the most accurate loads I can find for the .300 Winchester Magnum. It is a beautiful 1,000 yard target round that is capable of shooting beyond. Bill T.

Rightfully stunning production allows this superb new single “Slow Feet Don’t Eat” from “RaztheCloudSurfer” to shine beautifully in its natural setting. Slow Feet Don’t Eat comes complete with an accompanying video, an artistic arrangement of shots, bringing RaztheCloudSurfer – all of which is presented in a somber and mellow fashion, quietly representing the song’s underlying sentiments in a perfectly fitting manner.
The music sounds genuinely fresh, colorful and vibrant – the performances on top of this are perfectly in tune with the essence of the track and the confidence and subtle swagger required to carry it through with authenticity. His delivery as a rapper suggests a natural and unwavering connection to the art-form – this is what he does and what he’ll keep doing regardless of what happens next. There’s nothing forced about the whole thing, the set-up is powerful, inspiring, and this opening track presents a definite air of motivational possibility that works hard to energize and uplift its audience. Absolutely worth a listen.
RaztheCloudSurfer has a beautiful sound, loaded with personality and lyrically unafraid to be completely real and revealing. The general vibe of this track is emotionally poignant and reaches out to connect from its sound and mood alone. The lyrics on top of that, and RaztheCloudSurfer’s own natural air of originality and identity, all helps reinforce a refreshing, new, and passionate quality.
As the track moves along, the melodic vocals that come into play add a sort of soulful rap layer to the experience, and surrounding this there are instrumental flickers of hip hop and organic musicianship that help build something enjoyably real. That underlying concept is well represented, the hook melody that offers this idea and that’s memorable but not intrusively so – there’s a slight alternative air to it all, which is a pleasure to listen to among today’s musical landscape of simple and often just two-note hooks that repeat and repeat. The realness here is a joy to witness, and the professional structuring and finish on the single lets it shine as brightly as possible.

From the President, Christopher Kline,
The Christmas Party was a great time. We ate quite well and had a lot of fun exchanging gifts. There were a lot of good people and the place was decorated and tables were set to create a fective and fun time.
The Program following Bonnie’s “Paint it and Take it” will be the Art Swap that we do once a year. The Program section of the front page of the Newsletter spells out the directions for the exchange. It was a lot of fun in the past and I don’t expect it to be any less so.
The next Artists reception that we will be setting up is in March. Center Place is having their fundraiser exhibit for the 2 months of January and February.
We are looking for someone to handle the ARTWORKS 2017 exhibit as Sue stepped down for a much needed break after years of running it. It is one of our greatest fundraisers. If anyone can give of their time to help us with it, please let us know. Sue can explain more about it at the meeting.
The Strawberry Festival is coming up soon. I have emailed the rules.
Randy Matthews is going to take us on a Photography Learning Trip as a Paint-Out. We will have more information at the meeting about the trip and it will be at the Circle B Bar Preserve.
Also, the dues are due for the year … [Click Here] for the 2017 Membership Application.
I hope to see you all at the Member’s meeting on Feb 20th, 2017. We will fill you in on any more news there.

Sweet 'n creamy coleslaw made easy
But if you love coleslaw as much as I do, don't throw in the towel. Give this simple recipe a try.
I make my coleslaw dressing from 4 basic ingredients in equal parts: mayo, cider vinegar, sugar, and cream (either sour cream, light sour cream, heavy cream, or half and half). If you don't want to use any dairy products, you can eliminate it altogether and still have a very acceptable coleslaw. Just use the mayo, sugar and vinegar in equal parts.
The Recipe: Makes enough for 4
1/2 head green cabbage
1/3 C mayonnaise--I usually use a sweet Miracle-whip type (Aldi's whipped type works great) or other mayos. Depending on the type used, it will change the taste a bit. I have used the olive oil light or other light varieties successfully, but never tried real or no fat types.
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C cider vinegar
1/3 C cream of some sort Usually this is 1/2 and 1/2 or lite sour cream for me
1/4 t. salt or to taste
scant 1/4 t. celery seed--optional
1. I mix the dressing in the bowl I will serve the coleslaw in--that way I don't dirty an extra dish!
2. Measure the ingredients into the bowl and stir around until mixed. (In time, you won't even have to measure. I just put blops of each of the main 4 ingredients and estimate the salt and celery seed.) I did actually measure the ingredients listed above though.
3. Remove the dark green leaves and wash the cabbage, then slice.
You can use a food processor, mandolin shredder (watch those fingers--yes, that is the voice of experience), or a very sharp knife. For a batch this size, I just use my trusty Cutco knife and slice as thin as possible, then coarsely cross cut the shreds. The shred size of coleslaw is a individual preference. You can use the bagged shredded coleslaw or broccoli slaw if you want, but I avoid it. I believe you lose nutritional value when veggies are peeled or cut in advance.
4. Place shredded cabbage in bowl on top of dressing.
5. Peel the carrots and coarsely grate with food processor or hand held grater. If using hand held one, I place that right on top of the cabbage in the bowl and grate directly onto the slaw. (That way I avoid cleaning up the carrot juice on the cutting board!)
If serving later in the day or next, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. If you are taking to a picnic, pour the dressing into a jar or container with a tight lid, then mix it with the cabbage once there.
When ready to serve, toss and mix well, and TASTE. You might want to add a little more salt, make it a little more zippy with more vinegar, make sweeter with more sugar, or creamier with more sour cream or 1/2 and 1/2.
Hope you give this coleslaw a try. I have found that even kids like it--must be all the sugar! Once I made it with red cabbage and called it Barney-slaw. (It turns the color of Barney!)
You can add some a little shredded red cabbage for color, little pieces of sweet pickle, pineapple tidbits, snipped chives, or even peanuts. Don't be afraid to make changes and make it your own.

Researchers have been studying the health effects of artificial sweeteners for years; unfortunately, most of the findings show that they are very detrimental to human health. One of the most interesting findings is that artificial sweeteners can actually increase our desire to eat, increase cravings and lead to weight gain; this flies in the face of why most people consume artificial sweeteners, that is, to lose weight. Many studies have shown this to be true, and at least one of the mechanisms thought to cause this weight gain is dysregulation of the how our body controls blood sugar. Now, new research is showing artificial sweeteners can have even more far reaching detrimental effects on our health. (more…)
It can make you can weight, get diabetes and wreck your teeth too…
Soft drinks and energy drinks are the single largest source of sugar in the American diet. Together, they account for about 16 teaspoons of added sugar per day (that’s bout 67 grams sugar/day). If you haven’t been to sugarstacks.com, check it out; it can be pretty eye-opening. (more…)
Diet sodas are actually one of the biggest enemies of weight loss. People make the switch to diet sodas with the best of intentions, trading in high calorie beverages for zero calorie alternatives, but really, diet sodas are just as bad as their high-fructose sweetened partners. Helen P. Hazuda, a professor at University of Texas Science Center who has researched diet sodas and their effect on weight says, “they may be free of calories, but not of consequences.” (more…)

In the last post we started discussing artificial sweeteners with a focus on aspartame. This post will focus on sucralose, also known as Splenda, and acesulfame K.
Splenda is a relatively new sweetener that has become very popular and is advertised as being “made from sugar.” What Splenda is, is a sugar molecule with three chlorine molecules attached to it. The attached chlorines, make Splenda too large for our bodies to break down properly, so we are unable to get any calories from it. Because Splenda is engineered so that it doesn’t break down, it travels through your digestive tract whole. The molecule is irritating to the digestive tract and can cause immune reactions and diarrhea among other discomforts. On the other hand, if the Splenda does break down, which inevitably some of it will, chlorine is released into your body which can cause health problems such as reduced growth rates, enlarged liver and kidneys and cancer. A lot more research and testing needs to be done on Splenda. There have only been SIX human trials to date with the sweetener and the longest one only lasted THREE months! Another concern with Splenda is that at least 15% of the sweetener is not excreted by the body in an appropriate time. Meaning it’s still in the body somewhere but we don’t know where it goes or what it does. Yikes!
Acesulfame K is another sweetener with very limited human studies. This sweetener contains methylene chloride which is a carcinogen. Methylene chloride can cause headaches, depression, nausea, mental confusion, liver effects, kidney effects, visual disturbances and cancer in humans. That is a pretty heavy list.
Even more concerning is the use of artificial sweetener blends containing multiple different kinds of sweeteners in one product. No research has been conducted on what effects these blends could have in our bodies and there’s no way to tell how these compounds will react with one another. Time and money would be well spent in further research of these sweeteners. Until that research has been conducted it might be a good idea to steer clear of artificial sweeteners.
What are your thoughts are artificial sweeteners? Do you use them? Avoid them? Keep an eye out for our concluding post about why these sweeteners cause weight gain and some great alternatives to artificial sweeteners.
In order for our immune system’s to perform their best, we must give them the support they need. Food can have a dramatic impact on our immune health, and several foods have reproducibly been shown to decrease our immune systems’ ability to fight off infections.(more…)

York Prep: Reading Comprehension Is Key Life Skill
With the back-to-school season officially here, many educators are turning their attention to standardized testing, and particularly to reading comprehension skills—prompting a comment from York Prep.
New York, New York (I-Newswire) September 7, 2012 - With the back-to-school season officially underway—and a presidential election season long in the works—issues related to education are once more on the minds of many Americans. In particular, many parents, students, and educators are considering the pros and cons of standardized testing, a source of perennial debate. A recent article from The Huffington Post makes an argument that will likely prove difficult to disagree with, however; the editorial contends that, while preparing for an exam in mathematics or vocabulary is fairly straightforward, reading comprehension tests are harder to prepare for. The Huffington Post article has won the attention of York Prep, a private school based in New York.
The editorial notes that it is easy for students to drill themselves on vocabulary words, and to practice math problems, as a way of preparing for standardized tests. Reading comprehension, meanwhile, is much more difficult to prepare for, as tests do not come with pre-assigned reading lists, and the number of questions that could be asked about a given passage are infinite.
Though difficult, preparation for reading comprehension exams is not impossible, the article says. In fact, The Huffington Post argues that students are best-prepared for the reading comprehension section of a standardized test when they are instilled with basic skills in logic and reasoning, such as the ability to locate and analyze a thesis statement.
The article ultimately affirms that teaching reading comprehension skills is hard, but necessary—a conclusion that has won the attention of York Prep, a leading private school known for educational rigor. The school has responded to the article with a new statement to the press.
“We completely agree that reading comprehension can be taught,” says the York Prep press statement. “We are in an increasingly knowledge-based world where robots will do the routine manufacturing jobs. Thus, we need educated citizens; people who understand what they are reading. And these skills can be taught and practiced.”
York Prep continues its statement by refuting a common misconception about reading comprehension and standardized tests. “There is a belief that the testing of reading comprehension is just a credential tool,” the school muses. “We disagree with that. Reading comprehension is part of being educated. Understanding what you read is part of being excellent at whatever field of human endeavor you are in, not just for lawyers or professors but for everyone.”
Indeed, for York Prep, reading comprehension is worth teaching because it is ultimately vital for shaping cognitive ability. “From reading comprehension comes critical thinking,” the school concludes. “It is not just about credentials.”
York Prep is based in New York and has approximately 350 enrolled students in grades six through 12.
York Prep is a private school in New York City's Upper West Side. Established by Ronald and Jayme Stewart; York Prep provides students in grades six through 12 with educational resources and individualized curriculum and course offerings. Today, the school caters to the needs of 350 enrolled students.

The Kaduna State University (KASU) Chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the students have rejected the proposed 500 per cent increase in tuition fees by the government.
They stated that if a monumental school fees increase was allowed to stand, it would force about 75 per cent of the university’s students to drop out of school, causing massive youth unemployment and restiveness.
ASUU Branch Chairman, Dr Peter Adamu, decried that the consequences of the upward review of the school fees would be unquantifiable.
He urged the state government to rescind the decision, stressing that it was not the best time to increase tuition fees due to the present economic instability in the country.
Adamu argued that public education should not be for revenue generation and asked the government to look for other better ways of funding the system without unleashing untold hardship on the students and their parents.
One of the students of the institution, Asmau Usman, lamented that most of them came from poor backgrounds and their parents cannot afford the increased fees.
He added that the scholarship programme of the state government cannot cater to a large number of students, saying only a few of them were beneficiaries.
On his part, the Commissioner of Education in Kaduna, Shehu Muhammad, defended the decision of the government, saying the amount being paid was no longer sustainable considering the enormous challenges of the school.
He explained that increasing the tuition fees was in line with current economic realities and not in any way aimed at unleashing suffering on the students and their parents.
Muhammad stressed that there was nowhere in the country where state universities received a token of N26,000 as school fees across the board.
He, however, hinted that the state government has created other social intervention programmes for the students, including scholarships and loan schemes among others.
The Kaduna State University has about 19,000 students population, out of which closed to 17, 000 of them are indigenes.
As a state-owned tertiary institution, the annual school fees being paid by students over the years was pegged at N26,000 across the board while the government augmented what was left.
Recently, the state government announced an increase in tuition fees in the university to enable it meet up the demands of the present situation.
According to the proposed new tuition fees, indigenous students studying social science courses are to pay about N150,000 while their counterparts in medicine and other science courses will pay between N170, 000 and above as annual fees. (Channels TV)
