What happens when you have a big government and high taxes? Just ask France!
What happens when you have a big government and high taxes? Just ask France!
The Telegraph today:
Today it was revealed that French borrowing costs have continued to rise as latest figures revealed the manufacturing sector underperformed even Greece. The ten-year bond yield climbed as much as 4.5 basis points on Wednesday as a gauge of activity in its manufacturing sector slipped to a seven month low, to the lowest of the eurozone's major economies.
This is a worryingly large increase in cost.
France's manufacturing PMI slipped to 47, lower than the flash estimate of 47.1, and below the 50 mark which separates expansion from contraction. That marks the 22nd consecutive month of contraction for factory activity in the eurozone's second largest economy.
"This suggests that competitiveness is a key issue which the French manufacturing sector needs to address to catch up with its peers."
How do you solve an inefficient, uncompetitive nation? You lower all taxes and decrease the size of government. It really is that simple. Make a competitive environment, and jobs will be created.
Yet France pushes on with its hate tax of 75% for top earners, leading to a mass exodus of wealthy business people and entrepreneurs from the country, who incidentally are the people who create the jobs.
Those public sector workers…coming here, taking our jobs and our money
This is an example of how public sector workers are generally better off in the UK due to wasteful government spending.
A recent report has concluded:
A private sector employee working full time on around the median hourly wage, would be around £1,400 a year worse off than their equivalents in the public sector. In parts of the country where premiums are highest this rises to as much as £3,200 a year.
This premium exists even before the substantially more generous public sector pensions arrangements and other factors are added to the analysis.
With a humongous healthcare expenditure in the UK, the pay differences between the private and public sector employees hurt all taxpayers.
With government spending increasing year on year, how can we seriously expect to get to grips with our debt?
Brace yourself…obama says minimum wage increase will create jobs
I do like to take the mickey out of obama on this blog, but this really is taking the mickey! How does he expect business to create jobs from a minimum wage hike! Is he really that deluded.
This is what he tweeted earlier today:
It may raise GDP slightly but it certainly will not create more jobs.
Zero hedge has asked: 'why not raise the minimum wage to $100?' Surely by obama's logic, this will create even more jobs.
Lets play find the government worker
Found him?
The sad reality is that jobs can't exist without profits. Except, governments seem to ignore this rule and try to look good by creating more state funded jobs. Even more, people who work for the government have realized that the best way to maintain their jobs is by being inefficient and lazy. This is because the government answer to a problem is always more government.

(Views expressed in this article are the personal opinion of the author.)
As young pass outs just from the fashion school, one of the most important things a fashion designer should do is his/ her portfolio development. A portfolio displays the work done by the designer. Having a great portfolio is very important for jump starting a career and getting jobs. In todays competitive world one has to make a mark for himself/herself. Fashion designers are mushrooming all over and a good Portfolio is one tool to get noticed. A portfolio is an important visual self-promotion and sales tool for any designer, fashion student or creative individual.
Nearly all fashion students will be familiar with the term fashion portfolio. The designer can customize the portfolio as per her/ his needs, portfolios are found in varied sizes and formats. What is important is they should be portable and easy to handle, all the works of the designer should be highlighted.
Some important steps to remember while developing a fashion portfolio:
Designing of the cover page of a portfolio is one of the most crucial jobs
while working on portfolio development. The cover page can be simple or rather
should reflect ones personality. It can be arty and finally should be able to
capture the curiosity of customers to look deeper into the portfolio file.
MOOD BOARDS: Creating mood boards on the themes worked by the student designer can add weightage to ones portfolio. Mood boards should be able to tell your design story. Designers can use variety of images to accomplish this. Research photos, historic as well as current can be used to show the designers creative process.

Title: Before We Were Yours
Author: Lisa Wingate
Jacket Summary: Memphis 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family's Mississippi River shantyboat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night. Rill is left in charge-until strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a Tennessee Children's Home Society orphanage, the Foss Children are assured that they will soon be returned to their parents-but they quickly realize the dark truth. At the mercy of the facility's cruel director, Rill fights to keep her sisters and brother together in a world of danger and uncertainty.
Aiken, South Carolina, present day. Born into wealth and privilege, Avery Stafford seems to have it all: a successful career as a federal prosecutor, a handsome fiancé, and a lavish wedding on the horizon. But when Avery returns home to help her father weather a health crisis, a chance encounter leaves her with uncomfortable questions and compels her to take a journey through her family's long-hidden history, on a path that will ultimately lead either to devastation or to redemption.
Based on one of America's most notorious real-life scandals-in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country-Lisa Wingate's riveting, wrenching and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong.
My Thoughts: This book was an easy read for me it only took me two days to read it and I simply couldn't put it down. The topic of the book is very real and to think about what happened to those children long ago is very heartbreaking. But what is even more heartbreaking is that some of this is still happening today. Maybe not in the exact same way but children are still being taken from their families everyday. I found myself getting teary eyed about not only what was written on the page but what wasn't written. There were a couple instances where the author didn't tell you exactly what happened in the children's home but if you read between the lines and figure it out and it was just devastating to thing about what these children went through. What was even worse was when she finally did get back to her family it wasn't the life she had remembered it to be. This is a must read!! Keep the tissues handy.

I'm bewildered! As a copywriter, am I just more sensitive to the written word than others, or have I just stumbled on two examples of major marketing madness?
As much of my work involves research, I trawl through a fair number of websites in the working week. Today I'm working for a meat wholesaler and investigating British meat and the British Food Fortnight (18 Sept – 3 Oct 2010).
My first gem was found on the British Food Fortnight website. It is a PDF download of a flyer, pertaining to promote the 2010 event. The headline reads "British Food Fortnight will run at the same time as 2012 London Olympics… ". It goes on to talk about the 2012 event. You can see for yourself by following this link to the PDF.
Just how many people will bother to read past that misleading opening message? I'm sure many will quickly and mistakenly come to the conclusion there is no event this year. I nearly did.
The next and very best bit of marketing madness came from the www.britishmeat.org.uk website. Only one page in length, and with no contact details available, this site suggests it is supporting and promoting British meat. Look more closely … the first link on the page takes you straight to a … French Gourmet Food website! And additional links have little or no relevance to meat, British or otherwise.
All I can say is, if you are involved in running of either of these websites, please get in touch with us. We'd be pleased to offer you some advice to help you avoid these moments of marketing madness.

I decided to disassemble the shoulder to check on the torsion spring. I could not determine if the spring was unseated, but now that it is reassembled it appears to be holding position better when powered down (assuming the shoulder and elbow are near calibration position).
@duck: I have not really had any issues with calibration. I usually use the manual calibration.

Languages and General Studies
The Centre for Language and General Studies is an integral part of the University Unit with Course system. The centre is saddled with the provision of learning on disciplines of the General Studies such as English Language, French Language and Library Studies. An acquisition of language and library skills by students would go a long way in the facilitation of smooth learning of other disciplines the dissemination methods of which are essentially reliant on a good mastery of language and library skills. More than the foregoing, the so called language and library skills are life-long apparati that students would daily use in their choice fields and life careers.
Elementary Knowledge
Specifically, the teaching of English Language will expose students to the essentials of grammar, phonetics, reading skills, advanced compositions such technical report writing suitable for different disciplines. In French Language also, students will be introduced to basic fundamentals of the language that would enhance proficiency in the use of the langaugae. A good use of the language by students would put them at a great advantage given the fact that French is fast becoming a lingua franca in the world of technological advancement especially for those whose close contact with the Franco-phone countries is largely required. Library studies shall equip students with required knowledge for effective operation in the library. A good knowledge of library studies will prepare students for adequate and independent library search that would be useful for them throughout their stay in school and even beyond.
Use of English & French
The Centre offers Special Electives which are not compulsory but are obligatory for graduation.
The following Courses are available for offer by students based on compulsory units before graduation:
- SER 001: Use of English 1
- SER 002: Use of English 2
- GLS 201: English Language Studies 1
- GLS 202: English Language 2
- FRE 101: Introduction to French Language
- FRE 102: French Studies
- FRE 201: French Grammar
- FRE 202: French Pattern of Speaking
- FRE 301: French Language Studies
- FRE 302: French Language Studies
- FRE 401: French Language Studies
- FRE 402: French Language Studies
- LIB 001: Use of Library and ICT 1
- LIB 002: Use of Library and ICT 2
Any electives registered from among the above by students must be passed before graduation. The scored grades from the electives would be used to compute the CGPA of students.

Investigation Reveals Pig Torture in Mississippi
Undercover footage of a Mississippi factory farm that receives millions of taxpayer dollars in contracts shows workers repeatedly electrocuting pigs.
July 11, 2013
As the animal agribusiness industry thrives to implement ag-gag legislation that would criminalize undercover factory farm investigations, a probe by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals shows that the mistreatment of farm animals is still prominent. A recent video reveals a worker of Southern Quality Meats, Inc. in Pontotoc, Mississippi repeatedly shocking pigs in their abdomens and genitals with a set of charged prongs that are supposed to be used to stun animals before they are euthanized. The source also notes that the whistleblower witnessed workers hitting pigs with metal chains before hauling them to the killing floor. According to PETA, SQM is a food supplier for Mississippi schools and receives more than $6 million in taxpayer funds through state contracts.

Griffin: An amazing journey of forgiveness
Michael Mack is a man of many credits as a writer and theatrical performer. Now age 55, he has also accomplished two things in the spiritual realm that rank as unique in my experience.
First, despite suffering sexual abuse as a boy at the hands of a Catholic priest, he is now an active member of the church and values its spirituality. All the other victims of clergy abuse I have known have distanced themselves from this faith community, most with continuing and understandable anger.
Michael's second achievement strikes me as even more remarkable. He has forgiven the priest who violated him.
In a long interview with Michael, I found his account of both events fascinating. The violation took place when he was 11 years old, the forgiveness when he had reached middle age.
Incidentally, the reason for our being in touch was a scheduled performance of Michael's one-person play "Conversations with My Molester – a Journey of Faith." It was to be staged at the playwright's parish, St.Paul's in Cambridge.
Just before sending this column off, I actually saw the play along with an unexpectedly large audience. We found it spellbinding. Adding to the meaning of the occasion, an official of the Archdiocese of Boston responsible for overseeing child protection, Barbara Thorp, was present and took part in the discussion at the end.
The sexual violation of the boy Michael took place in Brevard, North Carolina, a small town in the western part of the state. Because their mother was ill, he and his siblings spent a year living with their aunt and her family there, rather than back home in Washington D.C.
The boy loved his parish church in North Carolina and envisioned himself becoming a priest someday. He soon became close to the pastor, the person who took Michael to his first basketball game, and acted toward him like a "surrogate dad."
One day, the boy wandered into the church basement and sat down to play the piano. Then the priest appeared and invited Michael to come to the rectory. Once in this house, the priest brought the boy into a room, closed the door, and took advantage of the child's innocence.
Days later, the priest left the parish and Michael, too, moved from Brevard soon afterward. "I left that day confused," he recalls. "I felt that something big had just happened — something not right."
Later, as a teenager, he was to experience something much worse, what he calls "self-loathing."
As to the priest who assaulted him sexually, Michael lost complete contact with him for decades. But when he moved to Boston some 10 years ago, Michael made an astounding discovery.
The priest was also living in Massachusetts, not too far away in the orbit of Worcester. Though not defrocked, he was no long performing priestly ministry.
Michael's repeated efforts to reach the priest were ultimately connected with a spiritual change in Michael's heart. He had been moved to forgive the priest for what he had done.
As I listened to Michael's story, I felt moved by his sincerity and his spiritual courage. He had managed to offer forgiveness to someone who, behind the full force of priestly status, had done him terrible harm.
Michael tells of going to the priest's funeral. It was his first time in many years back in a Catholic church. There the man who had violated him and others was extolled as a good priest. Despite his forgiveness, Michael found it bizarre to hear his molester praised.
Lawsuits allege sex abuse by ex-Cathedral principal

Lawsuits allege sex abuse by ex-Cathedral principal
Three men recently filed separate lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by a former Cathedral High School principal and a priest in Las Cruces, according to court records.
Two of the lawsuits named as defendants Brother Samuel Martinez, the El Paso Catholic Diocese and the NOSF Inc. (New Orleans-Santa Fe District), formerly Brothers of the Christian Schools of Lafayette, La.
One of two lawsuits involving Martinez alleges religious leaders used the Sangre de Cristo Retreat Center in Santa Fe to hide priests who were accused of assaulting or molesting minors, instead of reporting them to the authorities.
The other lawsuit, which is against the El Paso Catholic Diocese, the Las Cruces Catholic Diocese and Our Lady of Health Parish in Las Cruces, involves a former priest identified in the court records only as "Santiago."
"We were told that he (Santiago) is deceased and was a Franciscan friar from Mexico," said S. Clark Harmonson, an El Paso lawyer who represents the plaintiffs in all three lawsuits.
A plaintiff referred to in court records only as "L.A.," was a minor when he allegedly was abused by Santiago at the Holy Cross Retreat Center in Mesilla Park, N.M., where Santiago lived and which was then the retreat center for the El Paso Catholic Diocese.
"On information and belief, Santiago abused other boys at Our Lady of Health Parish," court records said. "The Diocese of El Paso knew or should have known of the sexual abuses of L.A. by Santiago and or the dangerous sexual propensities of Santiago."
"L.A.," who was an altar boy in 1978 when the alleged abuse occurred, is seeking a jury trial in connection with the allegations.
All three plaintiffs claimed that they suffer from severe emotional and psychological distress, and seek compensation for treatment.
No official was available at either diocese on Wednesday to comment on the allegations, and neither was anyone available at NOSF Inc., in Lafayette.
In the other two lawsuits, the plaintiffs identified as "John Doe" and "B.C." alleged that Martinez abused them.
John Doe alleged that he was a student in 1970-71 in New Orleans at a school operated by the former Christian Brothers Schools in New Orleans (NOSF Inc.), a Catholic order that provided education in Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Colorado.
Martinez, who was a Spanish teacher then, allegedly "repeatedly sexually abused John Doe at the Christian Brothers School, according to court records, and that "Martinez sexually abused other minors before and after the time he abused John Doe."
Around the same time that John Doe allegedly was abused, another minor boy, John Doe II, also a student at a Christian Brothers School, accused Martinez of abusing him as well.
"Martinez admitted to the principal that he touched John Doe II inappropriately," court records said, and that the order he belonged to (NOSF Inc.) sent Martinez to the Sangre de Cristo Retreat for 100 days.
No further investigation was conducted to determine whether Martinez had abused other children before he was transferred to Cathedral High School in 1972. He was appointed the principal of Cathedral in 1976 and held that position until 1985.
Cathedral is a top private Catholic high school for boys in the El Paso region.
The Brothers of the Christian Schools, District of New Orleans-Santa Fe (NOSF Inc.), was under contract to run the school at the time.
"During his tenure at Cathedral High School, Martinez abused many other minor boys," court records alleged. "When numerous reports of abuse surfaced in the early 2000s, Brother Martinez was again secreted to Santa Fe, where he was placed under a written 'Safety Plan' which curtailed (his) access to children."
Harmonson said that church officials again failed to report the allegations to police.
"B.C.," one of the plaintiffs, alleges that Martinez abused him in 1980 when he was a freshman at Cathedral High School.
The De La Salle Christian Brothers Provincials of the United States-Toronto Region is closing its Sangre de Cristo Center in Santa Fe in August, according to an announcement on the order's website at sangredecristo.org.
In January, the El Paso Catholic Diocese settled for $1.6 million a previous lawsuit involving Martinez that two former Cathedral students had filed.
"We've heard that Martinez is in Louisiana now and is very ill with cancer," Harmonson said.

From 1st – 9th September CAT will host Emergence Summit 2012: Creating the Future, a major international arts and sustainability event presented by VOLCANO THEATRE and the CENTRE FOR ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY at CAT's site in Machynlleth, mid-Wales.
The Summit comprises two parts: an international weekend conference of leaders, thinkers and visionaries; and a five-day Land Journey on foot through Wales culminating at the conference.
The Summit brings CAT's pioneering work on low-carbon infrastructure together with Volcano Theatre's work on developing the role of the arts as a crucible of ideas and visions for a sustainable society. Curated, designed and produced by Fern Smith (Volcano Theatre), Lucy Neal, Jenny MacKewn and Paul Allen (CAT), the Summit will explore, exemplify and embed the role of the arts in the transition to a sustainable future. Speakers, contributors and artist interventions include Robert Newman, Phakama UK, Sue Gill and John Fox, Simon Whitehead, Sarah Woods, Touchstone Collaborations, Pete Telfer (Culture Colony), Ansuman Biswas, Nick Capaldi (Arts Council Wales), Patricia Shaw, Miranda Tufnell and Paul Allen and Peter Harper from CAT.
'This is a unique opportunity for individuals from all disciplines to converge and explore their vision for a sustainable future, escaping the dominant dystopian vision of our future, instead developing a positive, solution-focused and practically achievable vision for the transition to a more sustainable society' Paul Allen, Centre for Alternative Technology
From 1st – 6th September over 30 delegates will attend the five-day Land Journey across Wales curated by Welsh artist Simon Whitehead. The Land Journey invites walkers to traverse the land in unfamiliar ways developing a deepened dialogue, concentration and reflection of the things we take for granted. Embedding sustainability into the personal and collective journeys of the Land Journey, artists and cuisinières Touchstone Collaborations will be providing locally and ethically sourced food, and the walk will be facilitated by Lucy Neal and Jenny MacKewn.
The Land Journey culminates at the conference. The Emergence conference Creating the Future will see 200 participants take part in a three day event of workshops, discussions, creative practice, performance and presentation between 7th – 9th September.
'Taking the conceptual form of a sine wave, the conference aims to not only discuss and debate change, but becomes a vehicle for change itself. Participants are invited to take a journey individually and together with other participants to explore our collective issues and find solutions to emerge into a new way of being, doing and making.' Fern Smith, Volcano Theatre
The Summit will be documented by Pete Telfer of Culture Colony and streamed through the BBC and Arts Council collaborative project 'the Space'.
Registration for Emergence opens to the public on Monday 23rd July. Individuals can register via the Emergence website. www.cat.org.uk/emergence-2012.

Sinema promoted terrorists & denigrated American troops (again!)
It's been a tough morning for Kyrsten Sinema as Arizonans woke up to brutal new stories today which have exposed Kyrsten Sinema for sympathizing with convicted terrorists and denigrating our troops (again!) by comparing them to illegal immigrants.
First – Fox News reports Kyrsten Sinema twice promoted events at Arizona State University with a lawyer who helped pass secret messages to terrorist organizations for a client who plotted to bomb the United Nations, an FBI building, two tunnels, and a bridge in New York City.
Sinema fervently defended the attorney who was convicted of providing material support to a terrorist organization, and promoted her on campus, saying she was "emphatically not guilty" and blamed the "hastily enacted PATRIOT Act" for her conviction.
Second – The Washington Free Beacon also reports that leaked emails from Kyrsten Sinema's anti-war activist group show she compared American soldiers dying in Iraq to illegal immigrants, saying, "the deaths that people suffer in the Mexico-Arizona desert are the same as the deaths that people suffer in the Iraq desert."
Arizona veterans were outraged at the comments and blasted her saying, "To compare the service and sacrifice of American servicemen and women to those crossing our borders illegally is about as insulting as it gets to the families still recovering from losing their son and daughter on the battlefield."
Both stories are a must-read. Links are below.

In this lecture, "A Global History of Health: Reconstructing Humankind's Encounters with Infectious Diseases," historian Monica Green addresses the need for a narrative of global health that encompasses every continent, across time, and includes all major infectious diseases. This means, as well, the inclusion of histories of pathogens and the human actions that played a role in human exposure to disease. As she reframes the public discussion of epidemic and pandemic, Green's work is relevant to biomedical researchers, molecular biologists, population geneticists, and policymakers.

This consortium assembled in INOVPAIN gathers the complementary and synergic competences and reaches the critical mass necessary to achieve our objectives:
- to define and characterize refractory chronic pain patients
- to understand the mechanisms and favoring factors of treatmentresistance
- to develop and diffuse new pain evaluation tools, new drugs and new neuromodulation solutions
- to improve the management and education of refractory chronic pain.
This FHU project is a unique opportunity to gather such consortium around the topic of chronic pain in our territory, and would allow us to promote more ambitious nation-wide or European projects.
It brings together the expertise of 6 clinical teams and 8 research teams.
Hospital facilities
Hospital facilities are distributed across the 3 University Hospitals (two in Nice, one in Marseille), and the "Centre Anti-Cancéreux Antoine Lacassagne" (CAL).
Academic research teams
The research teams belong to the "Université Nice Sophia Antipolis" (UNS) recently re-organized in "University Cote d'Azur" (UCA) and are located either in Nice or in the Sophia Antipolis technopole and campus (IPMC, INRIA).
Platforms and core facilities
The clinical – research interface benefits from interactions with several platforms located in Nice and Sophia Antipolis, and especially with the new Pasteur 2 hospital neuroimaging platform and operating theater.
Teaching activities
The clinical and research partners of INOVPAIN are regularly involved in numerous local, regional and national medical and non-medical teaching activities.
Inovpain represents a unique opportunity to gather together these clinical teams experts in refractory chronic pain management, research teams experts in ion channels, pain transmission processes, modeling or psychology, and industrial partners, in a common objective: to develop innovative solutions in the domain of refractory chronic pain, which includes new evaluation tools, new pharmacologic therapies and new surgical neuromodulation treatments.

Ever since Nokia joined team Microsoft, all has not been well with the Finnish company. Now in a widely anticipated but no less remarkable announcement, the company has laid out plans to fire 4,000 workers at its various offices around the world.
Most of the workers getting let go will come from the company's Research and Development division. Since Microsoft has struck a deal to provide most of the R&D support for Nokia, the company's own researchers have been deemed obsolete.
Symbian, Nokia's once prevalent mobile operating system, is also getting shown the door, with its assets and development team (another 3,000 workers) being passed on to Accenture.
A new Nokia, powered by Windows Phone 7, is expected to emerge in late 2011 or early 2012. Both companies badly need for it to succeed-- the stakes couldn't be more clear.

Perfect Dress Form
I've had my dress form for months now and I absolutely adore it! It's perfect for all my at home sewing needs. It is amazing how much easier it is to make things for myself now that I have a dress form to work with! I'd recommend this product (and sew vac direct) to everyone.
Dritz Dress Form
It's a good starter dressform for various dress makin projects. I think the MSRP should be much cheeper. It's mostly plastic. It's easy to assemble though. I think the nsrtuctions should be more detailed for us novices.
Easy to Assemeble, great buy
This is a good beginners' dress form. It's easy to assemble and simple to use. My only complaint is that it's a little bit flimsy, but for the price I paid ($139) that's acceptable. Sturdier dress forms are far more expensive. Compared to other "entry level" forms I've seen the Drtiz is one of the best. Recommended.

Report on Irazu (Costa Rica) — July 1989
Scientific Event Alert Network Bulletin, vol. 14, no. 7 (July 1989)
Managing Editor: Lindsay McClelland.
Irazu (Costa Rica) Solfataric activity
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 1989. Report on Irazu (Costa Rica) (McClelland, L., ed.). Scientific Event Alert Network Bulletin, 14:7. Smithsonian Institution. https://doi.org/10.5479/si.GVP.SEAN198907-345060.
Costa Rica
9.979°N, 83.852°W; summit elev. 3432 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
During fieldwork in June, Irazú remained quiet. Activity was limited to low-temperature solfataras on the NW flank. There was a small emerald green lake in the main crater, active in the 1963-65 explosive eruption.
Geologic Background. Irazú, one of Costa Rica's most active volcanoes, rises immediately E of the capital city of San José. The massive volcano covers an area of 500 km2 and is vegetated to within a few hundred meters of its broad flat-topped summit crater complex. At least 10 satellitic cones are located on its S flank. No lava flows have been identified since the eruption of the massive Cervantes lava flows from S-flank vents about 14,000 years ago, and all known Holocene eruptions have been explosive. The focus of eruptions at the summit crater complex has migrated to the W towards the historically active crater, which contains a small lake of variable size and color. Although eruptions may have occurred around the time of the Spanish conquest, the first well-documented historical eruption occurred in 1723, and frequent explosive eruptions have occurred since. Ashfall from the last major eruption during 1963-65 caused significant disruption to San José and surrounding areas.

Doubtless the guariba thought he had found some fruit of a new kind, a sort of huge almost brilliant all over, and with a kernel playing freely in its shell. But if he soon discovered his mistake he did not consider it a reason for throwing the case away; on the contrary, he grasped it more tightly in his left hand, and dropped the cudgel, which broke off a dry twig in its fall.
At this noise Torres woke, and with the quickness of those who are always on the watch, with whom there is no transition from the sleeping to the waking state, was immediately on his legs.
In an instant Torres had recognized with whom he had to deal.
"A guariba!" he cried.
And his hand seizing his manchetta, he put himself into a posture of defense.
The monkey, alarmed, jumped back at once, and not so brave before a waking man as a sleeping one, performed a rapid caper, and glided under the trees.
"It was time!" said Torres; "the rogue would have settled me without any ceremony!"
Of a sudden, between the hands of the monkey, who had stopped at about twenty paces, and was watching him with violent grimaces, as if he would like to snap his fingers at him, he caught sight of his precious case.
"The beggar!" he said. "If he has not killed me, he has done what is almost as bad. He has robbed me!"
The thought that the case held his money was not however, what then concerned him. But that which made him jump was the recollection that it contained the precious document, the loss of which was irreparable, as it carried with it that of all his hopes.
"Botheration!" said he.
And at the moment, cost what it might to recapture his case, Torres threw himself in pursuit of the guariba.
He knew that to reach such an active animal was not easy. On the ground he could get away too fast, in the branches he could get away too far. A well-aimed gunshot could alone stop him as he ran or climbed, but Torres possessed no firearm. His sword-knife and hoe were useless unless he could get near enough to hit him.
It soon became evident that the monkey could not be reached unless by surprise. Hence Torres found it necessary to employ cunning in dealing with the mischievous animal. To stop, to hide himself behind some tree trunk, to disappear under a bush, might induce the guariba to pull up and retrace his steps, and there was nothing else for Torres to try. This was what he did, and the pursuit commenced under these conditions; but when the captain of the woods disappeared, the monkey patiently waited until he came into sight again, and at this game Torres fatigued himself without result.
"Confound the guariba!" he shouted at length. "There will be no end to this, and he will lead me back to the Brazilian frontier. If only he would let go of my case! But no! The jingling of the money amuses him. Oh, you thief! If I could only get hold of you!"
And Torres recommenced the pursuit, and the monkey scuttled off with renewed vigor.
An hour passed in this way without any result. Torres showed a persistency which was quite natural. How without this document could he get his money?
And then anger seized him. He swore, he stamped, he threatened the guariba. That annoying animal only responded by a chuckling which was enough to put him beside himself.
And then Torres gave himself up to the chase. He ran at top speed, entangling himself in the high undergrowth, among those thick brambles and interlacing creepers, across which the guariba passed like a steeplechaser. Big roots hidden beneath the grass lay often in the way. He stumbled over them and again started in pursuit. At length, to his astonishment, he found himself shouting:
"Come here! come here! you robber!" as if he could make him understand him.
His strength gave out, breath failed him, and he was obliged to stop. "Confound it!" said he, "when I am after runaway slaves across the jungle they never give me such trouble as this! But I will have you, you wretched monkey! I will go, yes, I will go as far as my legs will carry me, and we shall see!"
The guariba had remained motionless when he saw that the adventurer had ceased to pursue him.

Church of the Good Shepherd, UCC is a member of the Southwest Conference of the United Church of Christ. Our pastor, Rev. Sarah Tevis Townes is a member of the conference's Executive Board.
About Us
The Southwest Conference of the United Church of Christ is the regional body that provides support and services to local UCC congregations and clergy within Arizona, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas.
Extravagantly welcoming and affirming followers of Christ called to embody God's unconditional justice and love.
Our local congregations offer a friendly welcome to visitors and newcomers. Many of our church buildings offer beautiful settings for weddings and a caring ministry to young couples. Babies are baptized as infants (we're happy to baptize young people and adults who affirm their faith and who have not previously been baptized). Children are warmly included in the life of our churches, many of which offer a children's story time during worship as well as educational programs for all ages.
Children and Youth Programs
The Southwest Conference has an active summer camping program for children and youth. There is also an annual "Thanksgiving Alive!" service project held in different cities every year, where youth from around the conference gather to do such helping ministries as repairing low-income houses, cleaning or painting a shelter for abused families, and sort food in a food bank.
Conference and Church Leadership
We welcome the leadership of both men and women - we've been ordaining women to be pastors since 1853, the first US denomination to do so. The United Church of Christ has voted at its national meeting, the General Synod, to try to become a more truly multi-cultural and multi-racial church.
Open and Affirming
The United Church of Christ welcomes all people without regard to racial or ethnic background or sexual orientation. Being in the Southwest, many of our congregations have a large number of active, interesting retired persons as well as singles and families.

Last April, SARC, reporting on the Justice Legislation Amendment Bill 2008 (which extended the ESO scheme), wrote to the Corrections Minister asking about the exemption (given the broad rights-limiting powers the Adult Parole Board can exercise) and received these responses a month later:
5. Why is the Adult Parole Board exempted from the obligation to act compatibly with human rights and to consider relevant human rights when making decisions under s16(2)? The Government decided to make the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities (Public Authorities) (Interim) Regulations 2007 to exempt the APB and the Youth Parole Board from the Charter for a period of a year in order to allow the review of the impact of the Charter on these bodies' work; and to consider the resources that would be required to ensure their compliance with the Charter.
6. Will the exemption in the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities (Public Authorities) (Interim) Regulations 2007 be renewed in 2009? The work referred to above is still underway and a decision will be made before the regulations expire on 31 December 2008.
Not exactly chatty, hey? I've complained previously in this blog (and elsewhere) about the silent 'human rights dialogue' – more correctly a 'no human rights dialogue' – that led to the exemption of Victoria's three parole boards from the Charter's obligations mandate late last year. One of the few negative comments in VEOHRC's report card on the Charter was to make a similar complaint. The only significant public comment on this exemption is Hulls's response to a parliamentary committee in June this year, comments that led me to wonder whether the parole boards' concerns were based on some shonky comparative legal analysis.
I had, though, been hoping that the recently tabled Annual Report of the Adult Parole Board would be illuminating on these matters. Other reports by public authorities typically include some proud detail on how they are working to comply with the Charter. But, now that the report is available online, the only mention of the Charter is in the opening 'message' by Chairperson Justice Simon Whelan. (Murray Kellam, it turns out, quit in September 2007, before the exemption was enacted. Kellam was part of the court in the Court of Appeal's human rights lowpoint to date, its Underbelly judgment. But Whelan, like most of the judges, has also had his chance to give short shrift to the Charter this year. Interestingly, his contribution was to tell off another public authority, the Registrar of Titles, for trying to comply with its obligations mandate in a dispute between two companies.)
Anyway, here's what Whelan had to say about the Charter and parole:
The Board is currently exempt from compliance with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. The Board's view is that this exemption, which presently expires at the end of this calendar year, was a prudent and responsible step taken by the government. There are, in the Board's view, compelling reasons for the exemption. The Department of Justice is currently reviewing the issue and the Board is working with officers of the Department in that review. The Board is confident that there will be a satisfactory outcome which will ensure that important features of the Board's practices are preserved.
Oops. He forgot to add 'and ensure that Parliament's objective of promoting all human rights, including those of prisoners, parolees, victims and other stake-holders in the parole systemn, are met' a the end there. But I'm sure that's implicit. Alas, also left implicit and mysterious are the reasons why the exemption was 'prudent and responsible' (responsible?) and what those 'compelling reasons' are. But, rest assured Victorians, you human rights are being very carefully considered behind closed doors, just as Parliament intended when it enacted the Charter.
Whelan's message also contains a significant hint on how the issue will be dealt with come the end of 2008:
[T]he government has decided to establish a dedicated tribunal to deal with people subject to extended supervision orders. The Board anticipates that its role will be handed over to that tribunal in the middle of 2009.
No word on why this is going to happen. Whelan notes that Kellam dealt with the problems of ESOs in previous reports. And indeed he did, excoriating the government for the lousy facilities and resources for the detainees at Ararat Prison (not that they're prisonsers!) So, the government's response, of putting the ESO schemes in the hands of a separate body, isn't entirely re-assuring.
But it seems to me that one possible reason (or at least consolation prize, for some groups anyway) for this split is that it means that the parole boards' main work can continue to be exempt from the Charter, while the new supervisory board will be bound by it. SARC, in its report on the extended ESO scheme this year, stated its concern that such dramatic rights-limiting powers are in the hands of a body whose work is essentially unreviewable and who is not bound by the conduct mandate. Such features hardly help the government to make its case that the ESO scheme can avoid attracting a declaration of inconsistent interpretation.
(On that note, I can't help but wonder what is at issue in two appeals being heard today before the Court of Appeal between anonymous plaintiffs and the Secretary of the Department of Justice. Could Presidents Maxwell, Nettle and Weinberg be hearing a matter that touches on these issues?)
Interestingly, the government will be deciding pretty soon on whether to go the NSW and Qld route of allowing for the post-punishment conviction of some dangerous folks. On any view, that's a step that will have a lot of problems under the Charter. So, the timing of the shift in mid-2009 is interesting indeed. Alas, it carries the sad implication that Hulls will fail the test of standing by his Charter when it comes to the more routine (but politically hot-button) issue of parole. Let's hope that, at least, he gives a public explanation for renewing the regulations.

If Bruins don't win Game 7 this was all a waste
Chris Wagner gave his right arm for the Bruins to get here.
Kevan Miller gave his larynx, his hand and possibly his knee to help the Bruins reach the Stanley Cup Final, although his on-ice contributions ended in the regular season because of injury.
Zdeno Chara sacrificed his jaw and continues to put his oral health at risk ever since taking a Brayden Schenn deflected shot to the mouth in Game 4. The Boston captain has continued to play through the pain, wearing what's essentially a fencing mask, and he's fended off the desire of the St. Louis players to treat his face like a pinata.
It's been a hell of a ride. No one knows what the rest of the Bruins are hiding in terms of ailments and injuries.
Whether their collective backs have been against the wall, like in the Toronto series and now the Cup Final, or they've been on the cusp of a clinch, like against Columbus and Carolina, the Bruins have gone 5-0 in potential elimination games.
Know what all these things mean if the Bruins don't win a sixth elimination game in Game 7 on Wednesday at TD Garden? Zilch.
In the aftermath of the Bruins' series-saving Game 6 victory, defenseman Charlie McAvoy unloaded three days' worth of pent-up feelings in describing the lead up to and his participation in the win.
"The emotions involved, like … crap, it's a lot. [Our] backs are against the wall and you have so many mixed emotions," he said. "You do whatever it takes, this is your dream to win this thing, and when your backs are against the wall and you know they're one away, it hurts a little bit. But I think I got a different perspective when our guys stepped up and just talked and it was an element of honesty to it, about being in this position and knowing that if we just do our jobs, we're family, we believe in each other and we all love each other. And just the thought of it being over tonight was terrifying … I mean we've come all this way and we really, we come together when it matters and I think tonight was just a good example of that. And we're thankful, we're blessed with a chance to play in Game 7 now. So it's going to be the same thing. It's a lot, it's a roller coaster and you just got to ride it."
This roller coaster could come to a crashing halt if the Bruins don't duplicate their Game 6 performance in front of the home crowd. That means from Tuukka Rask through the lineup to the fourth line and the third defense pair, the Bruins have to play the desperate game they didn't play in Game 5 of this series, or Game 5 of the first-round Toronto series, or Game 3 of the Columbus second-round series.
That they haven't only played their best hockey when on the cusp of elimination – and that aforementioned 5-0 record in knockout games is proof of that – is a positive heading into Game 7. The Bruins should be less likely to be complacent with the home-ice advantage and less likely to get caught continuing to revel in the Game 6 win.
"Regardless of what's happened, we put it behind us and we move forward. That's the mentality of this team, and that's why we've been resilient all season, not just in playoffs," defenseman Torey Krug said Monday.
There's no other way to put this: the Bruins deserve this win more than the Blues. Talent-wise they hold the edge. They played a full season, residing in the top four or five of the regular season for much of the year. When the Blues were last in the NHL on Jan. 1, the Bruins were third in the Atlantic Division, fifth in the Eastern Conference. Boston didn't need a miracle turnaround over the season's second half to salvage its season.
In terms of life and limb, the Blues have hardly sacrificed. Vince Dunn missed a few weeks with his own facial injury. He might still be playing through it, but based on on-ice protection alone it seems dwarfed by Chara's injured. Robert Thomas has been in and out of the lineup with what could be a wrist injury. Ho hum.
Only one Blues player has been to the Final before: David Perron with last year's losing Vegas Golden Knights. They haven't had to go through the ringer before the way the remaining members of the 2013 Bruins did. Remember when Brad Marchand said before this series that the loss to Chicago has stuck with him more than the 2011 Cup championship? That's a feeling the Bruins know and the Blues don't, yet. That's a feeling that Marchand has to continue to share with his younger teammates, players that despite all the warnings might still feel as though getting back to the Final will be an almost annual occurrence.
It's taken the Bruins six years to get back here. We know this group might not be together six more months, never mind six more years.
Boston had to miss the playoffs twice, change coaches and turnover a lot of personnel to make it back. If the Bruins want to make sure those efforts were worth it, guarantee they'll be more than just familial bonds that link this team in the future, and prevent those 2013 feeling from infected the entire roster, they'll win Game 7.
Or else it was all a waste.

UK pay-television broadcaster BT Sport has renewed rights to the FIA World Rally Championship and has committed to significantly increasing its coverage of the motor racing series.
In the multi-year agreement, from 2019, BT will show live coverage from each of the 14 rounds. It will also broadcast a pre-event magazine show, nightly highlights and post-rally review during each round.
BT previously held WRC rights in a three-year deal from 2016 to 2018. Over the same period, WRC also had deals in place in the UK with Welsh-language public-service broadcaster S4C and commercial broadcaster Channel 5.
Having already secured new media-rights agreements from 2019 in Finland, France and Spain, WRC is thought to be close to announcing further deals in the coming weeks.

The medium between being here with me and out there with them, in a mind that allows you to travel without moving a physical muscle, but muscle around the brain power it takes to react to what you see, that's scripted when you subscribe to a world full of thoughts gone wild and everybody wants to be a ready player one, in a world that's not quite ready for one to stand up and take responsibility for the way the world is today, and today just might be the anomaly of change for that one to realize themselves when seeing the world in the way we church the internet.
All massing to one spot to feed our minds with fallacious accounts of connecting with one another in the passing of time away, away for a momentary possession encapsulated by characters we know best, begets the demand for human interaction, that takes a fraction of the time it takes to type in what you want to see/hear and/or read about, what someone else has done, in a space bar that records you every request, then wonder why what you're thinking comes up on your feed, claiming, 'How did they do that, I must be connected or have some kind of special power or something', but NOT, it's designed that way, to accumulate your thoughts the way you think them, and feed them back to you, that's why it's called a feed.
But please don't partialize me, along with the bad comes the good, where because of social media/the internet, one can now leave one's block/neighborhood/city and state, to see how the whole world is in the same place and space, searching for answers, that everything is not as bad as we were taught, but bad in the sense that it's all our fault for how we all had a part in creating our own trap, that trapped us in the individual states of mind we're in, from the rich and wealthy to the poor and unhealthy, addicted to many things, addicts to the belief that I had no part in what I now experience, I mean social media is like the sins of the fathers in real time, where I can anonymously spite you and fight you with words in a smear campaign, because I didn't have the same chances you did growing up, but won't look up to see that you now do and the world is your target audience.
Where whatever you're selling someone will buy, that makes greed something extra really, because now my ideas can come into fruition, so why not stick to the basic of real capitalism and let's all capitalize on Life, instead of compounding more lies to feed to one another while disregarding all Life in fact, I mean is it really that bad to make room for all human being and animals alike, to have their own piece of earth, to connect with the earth we all came from, that gives us things freely (mind you), and guess what, if social media wasn't here you wouldn't be reading this, which brings me to the next point.
Fear of loss, losing friends in an unbefriending world that's not friendly, unless I know you. The comfortability of being addicted to a click button in a stone age mind, is the realization of 'where have I been my whole life, and why do I feel like I've done this before', because we've become so comfortable with it, where if you take it away from me, my life would end in a shamble (and that's where I just lost a few people, lol), I mean we know people from around the world more than we know our neighbors, in more cases than none, but then again our neighbors do the same as we do, that's why neighborhood street are baron, where kid don't play anymore, because we feed there minds with electronic, that snatches the expression right out of them, turning them into mind craft zombie, weak and petite (small and dainty) with no knack for life but their own, and others we feed too much, because they've learned how to push your buttons through social media, so we make sure they don't, by giving them what ever they want, and when they grow up, they'll hate you for that, and you'll end up losing them anyway, fear of loss.
But it's a good look, when using social media to share yourself with the world, your realization and insights without spite, because it's all about me and this is what I'm doing that has nothing to do with anyone else. A friend shared how they find it cool to be able to see how other parts of the world is, where on one side it's sunny and tropical and the other it's snowing, fresh powder, for skiers and snowboarder, so if you got it like that and you're bored with doing one thing, in one place, you can pick up and go to the next, no problem, but a problem because all can not do that, that's why 'at least' a Basic Income Guaranteed for every human being is need, to facilitate what's best for all, and what better way to get the word out there, than Social Media.
Before we completely virtualize the world, in search of other dimensions, how about we clean up this one first, before things get worst, until worst case scenarios don't exist any longer, and there is a way to do this, that you can fine right Here on Social Media.
By seeing the best and the worst of us on social media, should give us indication as to where we stand as a society, where the worst can be corrected and the best can be expounded upon, without pointing the finger at any one, because as it was said, positive thinkers/doers create the negative and negative thinking/doers also create the negative, (that all of us), therefore all that's left is to look inward toward self – to correct ourselves internally with what comes up and what we let ourselves react to, that we create our outside world with, then the outer reality will be a place where all life would thrive, and we can meet socially 'in the physical' with respect towards one another.

This chunk of Staten Island's south shore was settled by French Huguenots in the 1700s who farmed the land and harvested oysters from Raritan Bay. When the ancestor of today's Staten Island Railway arrived in 1860, the station was named after the treasurer's wife - Anna Seguine - and the neighborhood has been Annadale ever since. The waning years of the 20th century brought spirited development to quiet Annadale, and its streets of single- and two-family homes and townhouses. A secluded stretch of shoreline property, bought in the 1920s by newcomers from Spain and nicknamed "Spanish Camp," was sold and turned into upscale mansion-like housing. Meanwhile, former woodland was being cleared in Annadale for thousands of modern housing units. The bulldozers left 26 acres in the heart of the neighborhood that became Blue Heron Park Preserve. With six glacial ponds the preserve has expanded to 222 acres and is part of New York City's celebrated Staten Island Bluebelt, designed to manage storm water cheaply and efficiently. Brougham Cottage, dating to 1720 and the oldest continuously occupied house on Staten Island, is perched on the park's waters. The different sections of Annadale are defined by their relationship to the country-like Blue Heron Park and its nature center. Commercial services are available in the town center along Seguine Avenue. Annadale is defined by the shoreline to the east and railroad line to the west and from Hales Avenue in the north to Arbitus Avenue in the south. It is a 25-minute ride on the Staten Island Rapid Transit to the Ferry Terminal for the trip to Manhattan. Bus line 24 runs to Manhattan.

*NEWS: Update on Medtech Investment Environment from OCTANe Forum
OCTANe's recent Medical Technology Innovation Forum presented an overview by Silicon Valley Bank of the current medtech investment environment. Here are the key points from that panel:
VC invested in medical device companies appears to be up, although on a percentage basis the numbers appear down, buoyed by large increases in tech and biopharma fundraising.
That was the insight provided by Jonathan Norris, managing director of healthcare practice at Silicon Valley Bank's Menlo Park office. SVB's HQ is in Santa Clara; it has an OC outpost in Irvine.
Series A investment has recently focused on non-invasive monitoring – sensor-based tech and platforms around using that data – as well as imaging companies.
Overall across stages, funding for surgical robotics has swelled as these technologies continue to develop.
Neuro-focused companies have also raised some larger financing rounds this year.
Norris said that Silicon Valley Bank remains concerned about Series D rounds, as the median step-up in valuation is actually a step-down, which could spell trouble for founders and early-stage investors who cannot participate.
On the exit side, private, venture-backed M&A's are very healthy and are on pace for a record number of exits and record median up-front payments ($190 million through Q3). The bank also has seen the IPO market start to open up.
In the U.S., the most common forms of pre-market submissions to FDA are the 510(k) and the PMA approvals. Another lesser known submission is de novo. Each of these three results in a determination by the FDA, either clearing 510(k), approving PMA, or granting de novo marketing rights to the successful submitter.
On the private M&A side, Silicon Valley Bank sees PMA pathway companies exit quicker and oftentimes before FDA approval (a median of 5.5 years from close of a Series A).
510(k) pathway companies usually need FDA approval and commercialization fundraise/revenue ramp-up, which takes longer (a median of nine years from the close of a Series A) and yields smaller M&A deal size than PMA companies.
The bank has have seen four de novo deals get to M&A exits in the last two years. These have been FDA-approved, it takes longer to exit (a median of eight years). But these deals actually show the best upfront and total deal value medians of the three categories, Norris said.
Medtronic, (a medical device company with international HQ in Ireland and operational HQ in Minnesota, with its Brain Therapies division in Irvine), and Abbott Laboratories, (a healthcare company with HQ in Illinois), used to be among the most active acquirers of private, VC-backed device companies, but since 2015 they have been completely silent, Norris said.
However, Boston Scientific and Johnson & Johnson have filled the gap, accounting for 15 venture-backed M&A deals since 2016.
JJDC is Johnson & Johnson's corporate venture group, a strategic investment arm focused on building companies that complement the pipelines of the world's largest healthcare companies.
The group was founded 45 years ago and has a highly diverse set of investors around the globe.
The group supports investment across J&J's three business units – medical devices, pharmaceuticals and consumer. So far this year, it's made 35 investments and deployed more than $350 million in capital, Renee Compton Ryan, VP of Investments, Johnson & Johnson Innovation, told the OCTANe forum audience. She's based in San Mateo.
In terms of OC, J&J Vision, (which primarily makes medical devices), has a presence in Santa Ana.
Another perspective was offered by Bobby Azamian, CEO of Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, with HQ in Newport Beach. He said theinvesting environment in medtech entrepreneurship supports fundamental, rather than incremental, innovation.
Tarsus is developing therapies to treat blepharitis, inflammation of the eyelids. He's applying what he learned there from a previous company he co-founded — Metavention, with HQ in Minnesota, which makes medical devices for the treatment of metabolic disorders, including Type 2 diabetes.
Metavention's neuro-modulation procedure to treat metabolic disorders was developed after delving deeply to glean the underlying causes with physiologic and biologic insights. It then took those insights and leveraged established technologies for new targets and indications. The end goal: improve the treatment of chronic diseases affecting millions of patients.
This kind of deep dive offers ample opportunity to develop new products and attract capital to startups, Azamian told the OCTANe audience.
"It's important to partner with disciplined, experienced, patient investors throughout multiple rounds of venture capital, and pay particular attention to investment by larger medtech company strategic partners, which offer both equity investments and 'build to buy' deal structures that can accelerate value creation and liquidity for early, innovative companies, especially if products leverage sales channels and other expertise by strategic partners," he said.
A similar approach to entrepreneurship can be applied to biopharma, where ample opportunity exists to leverage existing drugs for new chronic disease indications, as Tarsus is doing to develop a treatment for blepharitis, he added.

If my wife asked me if I loved her, and I replied that I did in a sense,
it would not be received well. I hear preachers speak of God loving all
men in a sense, and sincerely offering mercy and forgiveness to all men
– that is quite simply not true! The apostles never told an unbelieving
crowd that God loved them and offered them forgiveness. The unbeliever
needs to know that he has offended a holy God by his sin and has become
God's enemy by his hatred of God. But there is salvation in Christ! God
has made a way to be just and yet justify the ungodly. If you trust
Christ alone as your only grounds of acceptance, you will be saved. To
say there is a sense in which God loves is degrading to the character of
the love of God. To say He offers forgiveness puts my forgiveness
dependent on my acceptance or rejection of the offer. That is salvation
by works! -Todd Nibert

The Motorola MBP161 Audio Baby Monitor optimises DECT interference-free technology that offers a strong wireless connection, which results in a better range and less chance of you missing anything important. The long range of 300-metres means that you are able to take your parent unit around your own home without any audio distortion issues. There is a sound-activated LED alert, so you are also able to see visually the level of noise emitting from your little one's nursery.
With an integrated night light designed to calm your baby during the night, the featured lullabies also help to soothe them; so you can be assured that your child will be softly eased into a peaceful sleep. The two-way communication talk-back function allows you to speak to your little one and, with the high-sensitivity microphone, you will clearly hear every sound coming from their room – so you can always be there when they need you most. Room temperature monitoring is also enabled and displayed on the parent unit, thanks to the integrated thermometer keeping you informed of the real-time temperature of your baby's room.
The intuitive eco-mode means that you will never use too much power when plugged into the mains. The low battery indicator lets you know whenever the parent unit is running out of power, so that you can put it back on charge thanks to the rechargeable battery and continue to use your monitor with ease. It has a standby power of up to 14-hours, giving you a much more flexible pattern on your usage.
Additionally, the Motorola MBP161 Audio Baby Monitor has three preset activity timers so that you can determine a specific time when your little one needs their sleep, nappy changing or milk feeding with an acoustic alarm alerting you. The LCD screen with a back-lit display ensures a more interactive experience for you as a parent so you can easily control everything from the parent unit to give you the confidence you need,

Sibley, Iowa — Fire and ambulance crews were paged, but a Vermillion, South Dakota man actually escaped injury after rolling his car on Highway 60 on Sunday (6/23/13) near Sibley.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office reports that about 1:05 PM on Sunday, 21-year-old Jacob David Evenson of Vermillion, SD, was driving a 2003 Pontiac GrandPrix, northbound on Highway 60, north of 170th Street, or the north Sibley exit.
The report says Evenson became fatigued behind the wheel. His vehicle drifted off the left shoulder of the highway. Evenson attempted to steer the vehicle back onto the highway causing the vehicle to flip onto its passenger side and come to rest in the median.
Evenson's vehicle sustained approximately $3500 damage.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office, Sibley Fire and Rescue, Sibley Ambulance Service and Iowa State Patrol responded to the scene.
No injuries were reported.
Evenson was cited for Failure to Maintain Control.
