Air Source Heat Pump Market Growth 2019-2024
Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) is a device which uses a vapor compression cycle to transfer heat between outdoor air and indoor air or water. There are two type of air source heat pumps including air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps. As the name implies, these systems heat or cool indoor air or move energy into water. An air-source heat pump can provide efficient heating and cooling for your home, especially if you live in a warm climate. When properly installed, an air-source heat pump can deliver one-and-a-half to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. This is possible because a heat pump moves heat rather than converting it from a fuel, like in combustion heating systems.
Europe has the largest global export quantity and manufacturers in Air Source Heat Pump market, while the Japan is the second sales volume market for Air Source Heat Pump in 2017.

Sherrod Brown has been taking some flak lately, but let's give the man at least some credit for keeping the Kerry memory alive. Perhaps John Kerry was even one of the Senate Democrats who convinced Brown to change his mind, giving Brown the opportunity to paraphrase Kerry's defining moment: "I decided to run for the Senate, after I decided against it."
That was strike one.
But now some are saying Brown is stabbing Hackett in the back again. Brown is raising money with blog ads, but with a twist: the money doesn't go into Brown's campaign, it goes into a fund that will be used by the eventual primary winner, whether Brown or Hackett.
What has some people irked is that the ad has both men's pictures. So is Brown using Hackett to raise money for himself, or he just going through a "nobility" phase?
Well, one of Brown's campaign strategies is to use the blogosphere. He has bloggers on the payroll at DailyKos and MyDD, and he wants to expand this to Ohio blogs. I am guessing that Brown's primary strategy will focus on GOTV from core Democrats rather than fundraising & advertising. The former can be done with the ODP apparatus [however lame] of which he is an insider.
By contrast, Hackett is an outsider who must sell himself to core Dems, non-core Dems, independents, and Republicans, so he will therefore need more money than Brown for travel & advertising. Hackett's money needs are immediate, while Brown's are not. So Brown may be hoping that while he's shmoozing his colleagues, Hackett will burn up his money just trying to keep up. And when it's over, Brown expects that he'll have the votes to win the primary and money in the bank to battle DeWine.
It's a solid strategy, but the fact is that Brown is using Hackett's image for his own benefit. Brown is paying for the ads himself; if he truly believed they could benefit Hackett equally, he wouldn't buy the ads. What kind of candidate spends campaign money with no hope of return? Brown is running a campaign, not a foundation. He shouldn't pretend otherwise.
I say strike two for Sherrod Brown.

Rates, Fees and Charges
Council has extended the 10% discount period to 1 May 2020 for the current rating period. Ensure you pay by this date to qualify for a 10% discount.
Rates allow councils to fund the services that help local communities run smoothly. These include sporting and recreation services, environmental planning and protection, public health, and waste services. For more information please select a link below or contact Council on (07) 4658 4111.
Rights & Responsibilities
Your land has been identified by the Longreach Regional Council as being in the category as stated on the front of your rate notice. You have the right to object to this categorisation of the land by written notice to the Council Chief Executive Officer within 30 days of the issue of the rate notice. The sole basis on which you (the owner) may object is that the land should have been included in another category as at the date of issue of the rate notice. The lodgement of an objection does not, in the meantime, affect the levy and recovery of rates. Should your objection be upheld and the category amended then an adjustment will be made. For the current differential rate please see Council's Budget document.
Pensioner Rate Subsidy Scheme
Eligible Pensioner Concession Card holders receive assistance in the payment of their rates and charges via a Council rebate on their principal place of residence only. This remission is in addition to the State Government Pensioner Rate Subsidy Scheme. For details on the amount of the Council remission please see Council's Current Adopted Budget.
Eligibility for these rebates is determined by the criteria for eligibility set for the State Government Pensioner Rate Subsidy Scheme. For further information please visit http://www.qld.gov.au/community/cost-of-living-support/concessions/

Sewerage Charges
An annual charge is levied on all premises in the towns of Longreach, Ilfracombe & Isisford where Council provides a sewerage service. In the case of land not connected to Council's Sewerage network but are able to be connected, a vacant sewerage charge is applied to contribute towards the cost of the infrastructure.
River Water Charges
A water charge is levied entitling the consumer to use a specified amount with any usage above this being paid for at a rate per kilolitre (kl). In the case of land not connected to the Council's water supply but capable of being connected, a vacant water charge is applied to contribute toward the cost of the water supply infrastructure. For further details, refer to the attached Revenue Statement 2019/2020.
Excess River Water
For each parcel or lot of land to which water is supplied (other than bulk water) and measured by meter, a charge shall be levied per kl or part thereof for that quantity of water used or estimated to be used in excess of the allocation for the first 500 kl in excess AND for each kl in excess of 500 kl.
The quantity of water used may, when a meter fails or registers inaccurately, be estimated by the Director of Infrastructure Services using the use for the same quarter of the previous year or an average of the previous year and having regard for climatic conditions.
Meter Reading and Charges
Meters are read and usage billed as follows:
Connections for properties not on a bulk water supply billing arrangement:
- Read half-yearly during the months of June/July and December/January
- Excess Water charges for usage above the annual allocation allowance are issued annually in August each year.
Connections for properties on a bulk water supply billing arrangement:
- Read quarterly during the months of March, June, September and December
- Charges for actual usage are issued quarterly in January, April, July, and October each year.
Handling of Complaints about water meter readings
Customers querying their water meter readings may request a check of the meter. This will be undertaken a cost of $164.00.
Customers querying the accuracy of the meter servicing their property must pay the water meter test fee as prescribed by Council at the time of requesting such a test.
In the event that an examination of the meter reveals any evidence of tampering or deliberate damage no amendments will be made to charges, no refund of the test fee provided and the replacement of the meter will be at the property owner's cost.
In the event that the water meter test conducted by Council shows that the property's meter is recording consumption over the test period of 5% or more over the test meter readings, Council will replace the meter at Council's cost, refund the meter test fee and proportionally adjust the consumption charges for the last billing period in accordance with the level of error being recorded.
Bulk Water Charges
The Council has decided for certain properties that instead of allocating a number of units it will charge in bulk (quarterly) for all water supplied and measured by meter. This charge shall be in lieu of the unit based charge for river water. See Council's Budget (Above) document for a list of properties that are supplied with bulk water and the current charge.
Rubbish Collection and Disposal Charges
An annual charge to cover the cost of collection and disposal of refuse is levied on all premises in the towns of Longreach, Ilfracombe, Isisford and Yaraka.

Charges for refuse services will commence when premises are considered occupiable and after the delivery of the 240 litre bin to the premises by Council.

It's been such a beautiful weekend I've been out enjoying the wonderful weather. Finally, there is green grass, perennials coming up, tulips blooming.It's dandelion season again and I have been blessed with some beautiful bouquets. It's all how you look at it right? Strawberries are on our table quite a bit now as the stores have lovely ones right now. The little boys are eagerly awaiting strawberry season in about 6 weeks so that we can pick our own. The teenagers of course, are not so thrilled about the outing. Hope you'll allow me a little spring-time photos and thoughts. Just so you know…my Feedblitz updates have been hit and miss the past few days for some reason. You may want to scroll down as there are a few new designs there.
And what's Spring without BBQ? My oldest son made these for dinner Friday night. I wasn't having a great day but what a yummy way to end it!
While I don't have a new C'est Bon product for you today, I thought it would be fun to revisit the some of my past entries and update you on whether I'm still using that product and still love it. What gave me the idea was a trip back through memory lane, looking to see what I had written. I was amazed that there were so many and it was so interesting to find that almost all of the reviews, even those from two years ago are pretty much how I feel about the products today. If you're thinking about purchasing one of these products, you may want to check out the details below. I've listed links to all 42 of them.

- Terrifically Tacky Tape – Feb 08 – I still use this all the time for altered projects

- Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive – Sept 07
- Cropper Hopper Ribbon storage part one – Sept 07 – I rarely use ribbon in here any longer. Is it because I don't use so much ribbon or is it because the storage is a bit of a pain? Hmmmm…

I've always liked the Daily Perk. I've been a fan ever since its evolution from a kitschy, 50's inspired coffee counter-style hangout to its current incarnation. The new owner has expanded the eating space, and has done away with the giftshop. Now there's room to stretch out, and wi-fi is now available.
Just the other day, between appointments, I stopped in for a quick bowl of soup and coffee. The new owner, Yo, is quite a friendly guy, the quintessential businessman. He promptly introduced himself as the new owner, and spent time between bussing the tea/coffee center and answering employees' questions passing out samples of fresh baked goods to each customer.
Sometimes I let too much time pass between my visits here, but the fact is that every time I come here I enjoy it more than the last time. Now that they have free internet I will not be a stranger anymore.
By the way, the soup I had was called, "Mama's Beef Stew". I took one bite and was in heaven. It is the best beef stew I have ever had. I am no food critic by any stretch of the imagination, but every component of this stew was perfect, from the potatoes that didn't go all starchy like they do in my stews, to the thick, rich stock. I asked the owner how often they served this stew, because once I know that I can plan to come back on those days. He told me that this was the first time they had made it. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Yo also says there are plans for serving dinner in the future. It can only get better, folks!

New As of 2018
The True North 38 has low profile timeless lines, a reverse transom finely appointed by True North's master carpenters, and a 360 degree, galley-up layout.Active boating families wanted more room in the cockpit for all their outdoor activities. And they wanted space to stow their water toys like kayaks, wind surfers and dinghies as well as their mountain bikes, fishing and snorkeling gear. We also found that a high percentage of female boaters are not thrilled with their current boat's galley and eating arrangements, especially if these areas are located down below. Families want to be together during the day on one level, where all the action is. So we designed the True North 38 to satisfy all members of the active family. For outside activities, the large cockpit is ideal for lounging, fishing, entertaining or as the hub for water sports activities. Large, double transom doors swing open for easy access to the water, just inches below the cockpit sole. With over 90 square feet of cockpit space, and wide deck seating, there's room for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. Best of all, the cockpit is designed to stow a 10-foot inflatable dinghy with an outboard motor. It's easy to launch and retrieve just pull it in and push it out right through those wide doors. During a cruise, some owners stow their bikes or other water toys inside the dinghy. This system eliminates the need for unsightly davits or expensive lifts. The low profile and extra-wide side decks of the True North 38 also make it easy to stow a pair of kayaks on the pilothouse roof. Walking forward to handle lines or the anchor is also made safer thanks to the wide side decks and thoughtful absence of protruding cleats or hardware.

Minister of National Security says crime is down
There were six murders over the past weekend alone and the continuous spate of violent crimes has residents on edge countrywide. But in his address at the B.T.I.A. AGM today, the Minister of National Security, John Saldivar said that major crimes have actually decreased over the past five months. According to Saldivar it may not be obvious because there are periodical spikes in criminal activities, but there are also lulls that go overlooked. He backed his statement with statistics, or as he called it, empirical evidence.
John Saldivar, Minister of National Security
"We have seen a gradual decrease in the accumulated major crimes from June to September of this year. our record show a total of nine hundred and one major crimes for 2012, compared to nine hundred and seventy major crimes in the same period for 2011. This is sixty-nine less incidents, six point four percent less than the 2011 figures for that same period. Those statistics are for the entire country. When we look at Belize City and compare the statistics of the same period last year, the record shows that there has been a twenty-one point one percent decrease in major crimes in the city. Of course, we expect Belize City to be leading in this statistical corner because it is no secret that we have been focusing much of our attention and resources on Belize City. But the point I am making here is that despite the sensationalizing when we experience a crime spike, when the dust is cleared and we examine the empirical evidence, we are making progress. As a matter of fact, when we compare last month's figures to the figures since the declaration of the crime ridden areas, we have actually had a thirty-seven point five percent decrease in major crimes in Belize City. Of course and unfortunately, the six murders of the past weekend, does not put anyone in any mood to hear a pitch about what the statistics are showing."

Fewer benefits for Dutch citizens abroad
Dutch benefit claimants who reside outside the European Union, will soon receive much less money in their bank account.
Minister Henk Kamp (Social Affairs) will send a letter about this, this Monday, to the Second Chamber, reports De Telegraaf. Widows and widowers will receive around 5600 euro's less per year.
"Our benefit system is designed for people who live in the Netherlands,' says Kamp.

Vulnerability scanning plays a critical role in the information security program of any educational institution. Conducting regular security scans ensures that administrators remain aware of the state of security on their networks and allows them to quickly remediate vulnerabilities before an attacker exploits them.
Conducting vulnerability scans consumes network bandwidth and ties up resources on the systems being scanned. In the worst case, these scans may inadvertently result in system outages or other operational issues. IT staff preparing to scan campus networks should follow a set of best practices to protect the integrity of their institution's information systems. In this article, I offer four tips on operating a safe and effective vulnerability scanning program.

PUBLISHER: That's where I come from
"I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from."
- Mac McAnally (Back Where I Come From)
Community used to grow up around a mill. Now it's anywhere Dollar General locates.
I grew up in a small town (population 665), just 17 miles from Clinton — Enoree, South Carolina. Yes, it has a Dollar General. No, it doesn't have a traffic light, although it does have a flashing caution light on a sign, so drunks won't miss their turn and drive into the Enoree River.
At one point, Enoree was known for its mill. Inman Mills is still there, but not what it once was. Like most mill villages, the mill took care of folks. Nice sidewalks and lights still line the main drag in town (Highway 92). The mill operated a community center and in the old days there was even a movie theatre.
Growing up, there was a doctor's office. I still fondly remember Dr. John Wieder. That doctor's office is gone, but a town veteran's memorial is in its place.
There also was a drug store. I remember my Mama, Nellie Whitmore, getting prescriptions filled, while I was looking at comics, and the family getting tickets for events at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium. That was a big deal. Remember, there was no Internet when I was growing up in the late '70s, '80s and early '90s.
Now a beer joint is being run out of the former drug store. At one time, an auction and opry house was next door.
In my youth, we had a great place to eat, Sherb's Drive In. It was within a mile of my house. It was a treat when Mama ordered me a cheeseburger with nothing but mayonnaise. That was the best burger in the world to me and cheeseburgers with nothing but mayonnaise still remind me of my childhood, although none can come close to Sherb's.
A few restaurants have given it a go in that building, located right beside the Enoree Post Office (29335), but none have had great success. A Taste of Home was the last to locate there, but now operates restaurants in Laurens and Woodruff.
Today, Enoree has the Clock Drive In and Hardee's is located in Greater Enoree – Hobbysville.
Another delicious memory is snow cones and ice cream within walking distance of home.
At one point, Enoree boasted an elementary school and Cross Anchor had a high school (my Daddy, Harvey Whitmore, graduated from there). But Woodruff took all the schools. The mill turned the old elementary school into a community center, complete with bowling alley, a playground and swimming pool. I learned to swim there and to fear the high dive.
That's all gone. Fire destroyed most all of the old school.
In Woodruff schools, the Enoree kids stuck together. Scott Simmons was a playmate. I met Jeff Taylor in Cub Scouts (my parents led the Cross Anchor troop out of Enoree). Richard Henderson was right down the road. Michael Hughes also was part of that group.
Although I graduated from Woodruff High, I still have much more allegiance to Enoree. Guess that's how Joanna and Cross Hill residents feel toward Clinton.
I grew up thinking there were only three religious denominations — Methodist, Baptist and Church of God. That's because those were the only denominations represented in Enoree. I grew up at Trinity United Methodist Church, out of town. That was the "Whitmore home church." I became a Baptist in Enoree. I love Jesus and that's what's important.
Enoree didn't have a police station, but we did have Jack Owens, a Spartanburg County Sheriff's Deputy, that was our sheriff.
Enoree didn't have a mayor, but we did have Buster Lawson, who gave us our very own Christmas Parade.
Enoree didn't have a paid fire department, but we did have Sandra and Bee Corley, who were always there in a time of need.
Enoree didn't have a bank and that was OK, because most of us didn't have money.
Enoree had two auto service stations, but not anymore. It still has two gas stations and a convenience store.
Hanna Heating & Air is located in Enoree, as well as Clinton. The Chronicle appreciates Niles' commitment to both communities.
Cannon's Barber Shop remains. It once housed a Video King.
Enoree now has a winery, florist and flooring business.
Mountain Shoals Plantation sits at the intersection of Highway 221 and Highway 92 (Parker Road) and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in the 1800s and is privately owned.
Mill baseball was big in days gone by. Also historically, the name Enoree is thought to derive from a Cherokee word, meaning river of muscadines.
To this day, Enoree is known more for the river than the town. There was a USS Enoree (A0-69) during World War II, named after the river, and today there is a Miss Enoree River pageant.
The mill made the town of Enoree and it employed most of the people, but many had long commutes since there were not a lot of places to work. My Daddy drove to Spartanburg and retired with 40 plus years at Kohler.
When I was coming up, "Whitmore" was a well-known name in Enoree. Now the only one left in Enoree is my Aunt, Joann Burgess, on Long Branch Road.
I grew up on that road. My Mama had a salon — Nell's Beauty Shop. Mama had a dorm fridge in the shop and stocked it with the best glass-bottled-Cokes and she had a Lance crackers rack. When she was doing hair, I was playing.
Scott's Mom got her hair done by my Mom. We had a blast playing.
Mama's shop has been gone for years. I turned it into a handicapped accessible bathroom after my Daddy died. Now Mama is in a nursing home, with no mobility.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. I'm not sure that's true. My Daddy and Mama did a fine job on their own.
My Daddy was the best. He had a bad back, but he always was there with me, even on rides at Carowinds. Now I look back and realize he was always my best friend. I miss him.
My Mama was the most giving woman I've ever known. She loved her family unconditionally. She put her family before herself. Dementia has taken her mind, but not my memories.
No memories of Enoree are complete without my parents. They were my world. They taught me to be proud of who I was and where I came from.
Once a vibrant mill village, now Enoree is becoming known for drugs. Many of those once immaculately kept mill houses are now low-income housing in need of repair.
That's sad. But whenever someone asks me, where are you from? — I answer, "Enoree." I'm not ashamed of that and never will be.
I moved to Laurens County in 2005. I live in Laurens County, but Enoree is where I come from.
My story continues. Just like Job in the Bible, God makes all things new. I have a new town to love — Clinton. I have the best wife, Jane, and daughter, Lydia. You know what, life keeps getting better. I'm blessed beyond measure.
Enoree memories will always be a part of me, but not all of me. You see, I don't live in the past, I live in the now and look to the future.
"Boy, live your life." That's what my father would say. I will Daddy.

Two Poems
Two Poems
When using, you are not the same.That sublimity of an altered state,
you are not the same.
Do not talk to me about faith or
the hierarchy of trust. Do not bring
the slow jibes of your bright desire
into my house of sorrow.
I'll lock all my windows.
I'll bust all the light bulbs.
I won't recognize your voice
calling mother through the door.
Compare time to a mother's love
and there is no comparison. Who would
connive in refined despair ten different
ways to forget yet shake, frail and rattled,
in their bed, fall backwards into sleep
and drown in their jet bloodied dreams?
I will never say, I used to know him.
I will always admit to loving you fully,
not because you are my child, but because
you will always be my child, though you've
outgrown me by almost half a foot and sometimes
I stammer when I look at you.
You have, after all, grown up, past childhood
and a mother's make-it-better kiss. I, too, have
had my follies, my homesick way of dealing
with things. I know I view things from my heart
and not my reason. And so, for that reason,
you can roll your eyes and slam every door
but you can not, you absolutely may not
harm yourself in front of my eyes. I forbid it.

Today I would like to tell you about a few really important things to watch out for when doing abdominal work. Whether your choice of practice is Pilates, yoga or any other style of exercise, each time you are doing abdominal work on the floor, the concepts that I'm about to show you are crucial to their efficiency and your safety.
Let's say you are doing sit ups or crunches. Imagine yourself lying on your back. You have your hands behind your head and then you will probably try to roll up as high as you can and return down. You probably see your belly popping up and your pelvis tilts up a bit (pubic bone and tailbone are pointing to the ceiling). You might even be squeezing your butt. Doing sit ups this way, is beneficial in working the rectus abdominis. (The long straight abdominal muscle connecting the sternum with the pubic bone.) This is a good muscle to work, but if you are looking for support of the lumbar spine, the part of the core that strengthens your back, you will need to work a deeper layer of abdominals, mostly the transversus abdominis.
Take a look at the video below to learn how to do that correctly. In the notes below the video I have a reminder that you can read through often. Wisdom, after all, is not knowing, but remembering. Knowing is easy in times of the internet. But do you remember what's really important?
Another thing we often do during conventional abdominal work is leave a little bit of space underneath the lower back. In the past few years, the fitness scene has been all over the 'neutral spine'. And I absolutely support that. But the problem is, that most of us have such weak abdominals that we are unable to stabilize our neutral spine. Joseph Pilates wrote in his book Return to Life Through Contrology to press the back into the floor. And he knew what he was talking about. If you don't believe me, just try the same exercise with a bit of space under your back and then without and notice how much your abdominals are working. I bet they are working much harder with the back flat.
So, when you exhale, imprint your back (especially the sides, not just the spine) into the floor and notice how much harder your abdominals have to work. Try not to let the tailbone come up because that's when the belly comes up. This is the most common way to cheat here. It's easy to imprint by rocking the pelvis. Leave your hips alone, and start using your abs.
If you do this for just a couple of breaths you will really feel the deep abdominal muscles work and even just the breathing part can be intense.
Now we will add the head and shoulder movement...
You can use this advice in any other abdominal exercises that you are doing. There are so many variations it can be used with.
Thank you so much for reading and good luck!
I promise I'll only send relevant stuff, and you can unsubscribe any time.

BEIJING - Kuala Lumpur's move to establish counter-terrorism cooperation with Beijing and the focus on combating cybercrime are among the highlights of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's three-day working visit to China, beginning Monday.
The deputy prime minister is scheduled to attend the 86th General Assembly of Interpol, here, on Tuesday which will be opened by People's Republic of China (PRC) President Xi Jinping.
According to a statement made available to Malaysian press, here, Ahmad Zahid, who is also Home Minister, is then scheduled to make a courtesy call on the Premier of the State Council of the PRC, Li Keqiang,
During his tight itinerary, Ahmad Zahid is also scheduled to meet Minister of Public Security of the PRC, Guo Sheng Kun and Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China, Meng Jianzhu.
"Both sides will exchange views on bilateral security cooperation including counter-terrorism initiatives through the establishment of the Counter-Messaging Centre (CMC) in Malaysia, and cooperation in other security matters such as international criminal networks as well as cybercrime," he said.
On the General Assembly of Interpol themed, "Connecting Police for a Safer World", Ahmad Zahid said it would focus on efforts in providing an effective communication platform among all Interpol member states in information sharing as well as in enhancing the capacity to combat international crime in all forms.
"It also illustrates Interpol's increased emphasis on its role in promoting cooperation amongst the police agencies around the world in upholding international peace and security against the ever increasing global threats," he said.
The deputy prime minister said Malaysia's participation in the 86th General Assembly of Interpol reflected the country's commitment to combating international crime, including the threat of violence, cybercrime, organised crime and extremist and radical terrorist movements as outlined in Resolution 2178 of the United Nations Security Council.
"During this session, Malaysia has focused on issues related to cybercrime which has resulted in the loss of millions of ringgit to the country," he said.
The 86th General Assembly of Interpol will be attended by high-level delegates from 157 Interpol member countries.

An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Political Justice and Its Influence on General Virtue, Fourth Edition : Book 8, Chapter 04 : Objection to this System from the Frailty of the Human Mind
Revolt Library >> Anarchism >> An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Political Justice and Its Influence on General Virtue, Fourth Edition >> Book 00008, Chapter 00004
(1756 - 1836) ~ Respected Anarchist Philosopher and Sociologist of the Enlightenment Era : His most famous work, An Inquiry concerning Political Justice, appeared in 1793, inspired to some extent by the political turbulence and fundamental restructuring of governmental institutions underway in France. Godwin's belief is that governments are fundamentally inimical to the integrity of the human beings living under their strictures... (From : University of Pennsylvania Bio.)
• "Courts are so encumbered and hedged in with ceremony, that the members of them are always prone to imagine that the form is more essential and indispensable, than the substance." (From : "Instructions to a Statesman," by William Godwin.)
• "Anarchy and darkness will be the original appearance. But light shall spring out of the noon of night; harmony and order shall succeed the chaos." (From : "Instructions to a Statesman," by William Godwin.)
• "Fickleness and instability, your lordship will please to observe, are of the very essence of a real statesman." (From : "Instructions to a Statesman," by William Godwin.)
Book 8, Chapter 04
Recapitulation. - Objection stated. - General answer to his objection. - Particular answer. - Influence of public opinion upon the conduct of individuals.
HAVING proceeded thus far in our investigation, it may be proper to recapitulate the principles already established. The discussion, under each of its branches, as it relates to the equality of men,1 and the inequalities of property, 2 may be considered as a discussion either of right or duty; and, in that respect, runs parallel to the two great heads of which we treated in our original development of the principles of society.3 I have a right to the assistance of my neighbor; he has a right that it should not be extorted from him by force. It is his duty to afford me the supply of which I stand in need; it is my duty not to violate his province in determining, first, whether he is to supply me, and, secondly, in what degree.
Equality of conditions, or, in other words, an equal admission to the means of improvement and pleasure, is a law rigorously enjoined upon mankind by the voice of justice. All other changes in society are good, only as they are fragments of this, or steps to its attainment. All other existing abuses are to be deprecated, only as they serve to increase and perpetuate the inequality of conditions.
We have however arrived at another truth not less evident than this. Equality of conditions cannot be produced by individual compulsion, and ought not to be produced by compulsion in the name of the whole. There remains therefore but one mode of arriving at this great end of justice and most essential improvement of society, and that consists in rendering the cession by him that has to him that wants an unrestrained and voluntary action. There remain but two instruments for producing this volition, the illumination of the understanding and the love of distinction.
These instruments have commonly been supposed wholly inadequate to their object. It has usually been treated as 'the most visionary of all systems, to expect the rich to "sell all that they have, and give to the poor".4 It is one thing to convince men that a given conduct, on their part, would be most conducive to the general interest, and another to persuade them actively to postpone, to considerations of general interest, every idea of personal ambition or pleasure. The sober calculator will often doubt whether it be reasonable, in consistence with the nature of a human being, to expect from him such a sacrifice: and the man of a lively and impetuous temper, even when satisfied that it is his duty, will be in hourly danger of deserting it, at the invitation of some allurement, too powerful for mortal frailty to resist.'
There is certainly considerable force in this statement; and there is good reason to believe, though the human mind be unquestionably accessible to disinterested motives,5 that virtue would be in most instances an impracticable refinement; were it not that self-love and social, however different in themselves, are found upon strict examination to prescribe the same system of conduct.
But this observation by no means removes the difficulty intended to be suggested in the objection. 'Though frugality, moderation and plainness may be the joint dictate of these two authorities, yet it is the property of the human mind to be swayed by things present more than by things absent. In affairs of religion, we often find men indulging themselves in offenses of small gratification, in spite of all the threats that can be held out to them of eternal damnation. It is in vain that, for the most part, you would preach the pleasures of abstinence amid the profusion of a feast; or the unsubstantialness of fame and power to him who is tortured with the goadings of ambition. The case is similar to that of the exacerbations of grief, the attempt to cure which by the consolations of philosophy has been a source of inexhaustible ridicule.'
The answer to these remarks has been anticipated.6 The ridicule lies in supposing the endeavor to cure a man of his weakness to consist in one phlegmatic and solitary expostulation, instead of conceiving it to be accompanied with the vigor of conscious truth, and the progressive regularity of a course of instruction.
Let us take up the subject in a view, in some degree varying from that in which it was formerly considered. We have endeavored to establish, in the commencement of the present book, the principles of justice, relative to the distribution of the goods of fortune. Let us inquire Whether the principles there delivered can be made productive of conviction to the rich; whether they can be made productive of conviction, in cases not immediately connected with personal interest; and whether they can be made productive of conviction to the poor?
Is it possible for a rich man to see that the costly gratifications in which he indulges are comparatively of little value, and that he may arrive at everything that is most essential in happiness or pleasure, by means of the three other sources formerly enumerated,7 subsistence, unexpensive gratifications, and the means of intellectual and moral improvement? Is it possible for him to understand the calculation, 'in every glass that he drinks, and every ornament that he annexes to his person', of 'how many individuals have been condemned to slavery and sweat, incessant drudgery, unwholesome food, continual hardships, deplorable ignorance and brutal insensibility, that he may be supplied with these luxuries'?8 Is it possible for a man to have these ideas so repeatedly suggested to his mind, so strongly impressed, and so perpetually haunting him, as finally to induce a rich man to desire, with respect to personal gratifications, to live as if he were a poor one? It is not conceivable but that every one of these questions must be answered in the affirmative.
Be it observed by the way that the motives for a rich man to live as if he were a poor one are very inferior now to what they would be when a general sympathy upon this subject had taken place, and a general illumination had diffused itself.
If then it be possible for a rich man, from the mere apprehensions of justice, voluntarily to desire to live as if he were a poor one, we shall have still less hesitation in affirming that a sentiment of justice in this matter may be made productive of conviction, in cases not immediately connected with personal interest, and of conviction to the poor.
Undoubtedly an apprehension of the demands of justice in this respect has some tendency to the instigation of violence and tumult, were we not to suppose the gradual development of this impression to be accompanied with a proportionable improvement of the mind in other respects, and a slow, but incessant, melioration of the institutions and practices of society. With this supposition, it could not however fail to happen that, in proportion as the prejudices and ignorance of the great mass of society declined, the credit of wealth, and the reverent admiration with which it is now contemplated, must also decline. But, in proportion as it lost credit with the great mass of society, it would relax its hold upon the minds of those who possess it, or have the means of acquiring it. We have already seen9 that the great incitement to the acquisition of wealth is the love of distinction. Suppose then that, instead of the false glare which wealth, through the present puerility of the human mind, reflects on its possessor, his conduct in amassing and monopolizing it were seen in its true light. We should not then demand his punishment, but we should look on him as a man uninitiated in the plainest sentiments of reason. He would not be pointed at with the finger, or hooted as he passed along through the resorts of men, but he would incited to the same assiduity in hiding his acquisitions then as he employs in displaying them now. He would be regarded with no terror, for his conduct would appear too absurd to excite imitation. Add to which, his acquisitions would be small, as the independent spirit and sound discretion of mankind would allow but little chance of his being able to retain them in his service, as now, by generously rewarding them with a part of the fruit of their own labotirs. Thus it appears, with irresistible probability, when the subject of wealth shall be understood, and correct ideas respecting it familiarized to the human mind, that the present disparity of conditions will subside, by a gradual and incessant progress, into its true level.

Deposition summaries are one of the most powerful litigation tools; however, they are often an afterthought, leading to the litigation team spending needless hours searching for important testimony and documents. Deposition summaries are the backbone for a successful motion practice, in preparing for upcoming depositions and direct and cross examinations of witnesses at trial. Deposition summaries are integral to the entire litigation process, from discovery to motion practice and at trial.
According to the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 32, Court Comment stated in effect that reading discovery transcripts can be tedious for the jury and reduces the comprehension level and attention span of the jurors. Summarizing is an effective means of informing the jury in an understandable and abbreviated structure. Therefore, the court encourages and/or requires all parties to agree upon a concise outline of the transcript. Also, Federal Rule of Evidence 1006, encourages discovery summations that cannot be examined in court expediently.
By hiring a legal outsourcing firm to handle compiling legal documentation the firm can realize savings of up to 80% percent on such tasks.
Lex Process has summarized transcripts for all types of cases and practice areas including asbestos, bankruptcy, civil rights, commercial, construction, consumer, corporate, criminal, employment, environmental, family, finance, foreclosure, insurance, intellectual property, medical malpractice, personal injury, real estate, social security, tax, trusts & estates, white collar, and workers compensation.
Lex Process offers accurate, concise, reliable and usable deposition summaries prepared by experienced litigation paralegals.These summaries are useful for easily navigating deposition transcripts and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the entire testimony and facts. We make sure no facts are omitted. Lex Process provides summaries multiple formats tailored to meet your individual needs.
With our highly-experienced and qualified paralegals, you can be assured that you will always receive quality service on a timely basis from Lex Process.

Don't panic, as Douglas Adam's book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, said in large friendly letters on its cover, this article is not about how to move all your applications off the mainframe and run them on other platforms. Rather, I want to look at ways to integrate the mainframe with those other platforms to maximize the benefit of IT to an organization.
So what are the reasons for keeping the mainframe and not just throwing it into the mix for all the items that are subject to change? The first answer is security. The new IBM z14 can provide cryptography technology, including: pervasive encryption of data, which allows sites to encrypt data associated with an entire application, cloud service, or database in flight or at rest with one click; tamper-responding encryption keys that prevent hackers from targeting encryption keys that are routinely exposed in memory when they're used; and encrypted APIs, which use z/OS Connect technologies to make it easy for cloud developers to discovAer and call any IBM Z application or data from a cloud service, or for IBM Z developers to call any cloud service (These APIs can be encrypted).
That's in addition to the IBM zSecure family of products, which help sites remain vigilant with solutions that improve security efficiency, reduce costs, and manage risk. Plus there's the IBM Security Guardium suite that can automatically discover and classify sensitive data, uncover usage. And, of course, external security management products like RACF. That's not to say that sites might not want to use other software such as File Integrity Monitoring software, which will track z/OS data integrity scan history and can perform audits on demand; or software that will automate z/OS DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide) compliance by providing real-time, continuous, mainframe security monitoring and auditing.
IBM mainframes have a proven track record for reliability and availability in both their hardware and software. The aim is to achieve five 9s uptime. That's 99.999% uptime, or, put it another way, being unavailable (whether planned or unplanned) for no more than 5.39 minutes of total downtime in a year. In addition, mainframes are fast. They can process applications at high speed and can access data (eg IMS databases) incredibly quickly.
Although mainframes are fantastic pieces of kit, there are times when it can be quite useful to run some mainframe-related work off the mainframe. For example, a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product can provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware. They typically run off the mainframe. The big advantage they offer is that mainframe logs are usually run overnight and so yesterday's issues are not identified until the following morning. A SIEM can alert the security team straight away of an issue. Using software running on the mainframe, they can take event log, audit log, syslog, etc data and quickly identify critical security incidents from business-as-usual events.
We all have experience of applications that can reach out of mainframes to browsers, perhaps, for users to kick off work that runs on the mainframe, or IoT (Internet of Things) devices monitoring or controlling things with messages running through to the mainframe. I'm thinking of all that RESTful and JSON stuff. And we have Liberty servers set up to make that possible. And we all use laptops for Word, Excel, PowerPoint (screams silently), and e-mail (including its calendar function). And we probably help our friends and families with their PC issues. With Office 365, there's a new way of working for teams at an organization. Using SharePoint at its heart, team sites can be set up that make it easy for members of a team or virtual team to work together. Within the team site, people can message each other and sort the messages into groups to make finding older messages easier. It's possible to create tasks that need to be done and assign those tasks to people.
There's also a Skype facility to have video conversations with other members of the team and instant message them (reducing the number of e-mails sent). Files used by the team can be stored on the team site so that they are available to everyone in the team. And there's also version control so that older versions of files can easily be restored if necessary. The idea is to make collaboration and assigning tasks easier. It also reduces the number of e-mails that people in an organization send to each other and the number of attachments that go with those e-mails. And if there are people from outside your organization working as part of your team, team sites will allow that.
Going forward, what I'm suggesting is that an organization uses the best technology that's available. And that means the heart of your IT stays on the mainframe. Where it makes sense, organizations should use non-mainframe platforms to enhance their mainframe's security. And companies should be prepared to embrace the advantages of the new Microsoft technology and collaborate using Office 365.
Put them together and you have a very accessible (for the right reasons) IT system that is incredibly secure.

Congress' employment law agenda: 7 key bills to watch closely
When Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown won January's special election to fill the seat long occupied by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, Democrats lost their 60-vote supermajority in the Senate.
That means it will be that much more difficult for the Obama administration to make good on many of its pro-employee campaign promises.
That's not to say those employment-law initiatives are dead. This still could be a key year for Democratic plans to revamp our national employment laws.
The following are the important employment law initiatives pending in Congress, and what they could mean for your business if they become law. I've ranked these proposals in order of the likelihood that they will pass this year—from most likely to least.
1. Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). ENDA would prohibit employers from discriminating or retaliating against actual or perceived gay, bisexual or transgender employees or applicants.
If this bill passes, you will have to rewrite your EEO policies and train your supervisors to be more aware of issues that affect gay, bisexual and transgendered people. Plus, you'll need to include these issues in all EEO and harassment training.
2. Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year in Gross v. FBL Fin. Servs., that there's no such thing as a "mixed motive" under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Thus, to succeed on a federal disparate treatment age-discrimination claim, employees must now prove that age was the only cause of their firing, demotion or other adverse action.
This legislation would overturn the Gross case. It would permit an employee to establish age discrimination by demonstrating that age was a "motivating factor" for the adverse action. The bill would make it easier for plaintiffs to win age bias cases. The result would be higher defense costs, more jury trials and increased settlement values for federal age claims.
3. Healthy Families Act. The swine flu pandemic helped employee advocates advance their cause to have more American workers gain access to paid sick leave. This bill would require businesses with 15 or more employees to provide employees with at least seven days of paid sick leave per year.
If this bill passes, employers will have to rewrite employee leave policies to provide the required sick leave.
4. FMLA amendments. The Family and Medical Leave Enhancement Act would expand the coverage of the FMLA to employers with 25 or more employees (currently 50), and would expand the reasons employees could take FMLA leave to include a child's or grandchild's educational or extracurricular activities, or a child's or elderly relative's medical appointments.
The Family Fairness Act would expand the FMLA's coverage to include part-time employees.
Passage of either of these bills would require employers to revisit and rewrite their FMLA leave policies and would limit your ability to manage and schedule employee's working time.
5. Arbitration Fairness Act. President Obama recently signed a law that prohibits employers that have contracts with the federal government worth $1 million or more from requiring arbitration for certain Title VII discrimination claims.
This legislation would void all predispute arbitration agreements that mandate arbitration of employment disputes, except for those contained in collective-bargaining agreements.
The enactment of this bill would ban mandatory arbitration for all employment disputes.
6. Paycheck Fairness Act. This bill would provide for compensatory and punitive damages for Fair Labor Standards Act violations. It would shift the burden in equal-pay cases to employers to prove that differences in pay are sex-based and are related to job performance.
Wage-and-hour claims already are the most difficult for employers to handle. This legislation would increase this difficulty and further underscore employers' need to be proactively vigilant with wage-and-hour compliance.
7. Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). EFCA would eliminate secret-ballot elections for union representation and provide for binding arbitration for first-contract collective-bargaining agreements.
Because EFCA is so controversial, don't expect the Democrats to push hard for EFCA passage this year. And, without a big push from its supporters, I don't see it becoming law.
Note: These proposals and their potential consequences will be explored deeper at the Labor and Employment Law Advanced Practices (LEAP) Symposium in April.
