Successful enterprises have come to rely on information as a major internal asset to leverage or as a lucrative product to sell. There is increasing public scrutiny regarding the need for corporate leaders to assure that business information in the form of records can be trusted, protected and produced when required. The importance of properly managing business records is covered in news sources almost daily, including the failure of some organizations to retain records for mandated time periods (Arthur Andersen) and the discovery in some cases of reputationdamaging emails (Microsoft and many others). Regrettably, litigation frequently is a tactic used to resolve disputes between persons and organizations. Governmental investigations routinely are initiated when audits yield findings of non-compliance with expected business practices or activities. In both of these scenarios, there is an immediate focus on how well management supported the proper retention and timely production of records, in either paper or electronic format.
The default assumption is that employees perform job functions as delineated by policy, procedure and management directives.
Executive level attention to records management strategies, policies, procedures, and technology systems now is the expected practice in well-run organizations. Executive signatures required on financial statements by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) make it critical to manage enterprise information and evidentiary records in a well-documented and consistent manner. Each organization's value chain and information workflow must have supporting records management activities and auditable business processes that clearly document the status of activities; i.e., what is known, and when everyone knew it. A carefully developed records management strategy and rigorously enforced company information management policies are the key to achieving excellence in management that promotes customer, investor, regulator, employee and public confidence in an organization's activities, products, and services.
Today's complex business environments generate numerous challenges for both management and employees. Fast-paced changes in office technologies, changing governmental mandates and global competition create both obstacles and opportunities. However, a common aspect of all business environments is the constant demand for ontime access to data, information and documentation. Informational business records are needed for operational guidance, reporting to auditors, documentation of intellectual capital, evidence in litigation and a variety of other tactical and strategic drivers. Business records with critical informational content must be locatable and retrievable quickly and accurately. Otherwise lost productivity, public embarrassment and damaged financial status may result. Of equal importance is the transition of most enterprises today from sifting through piles of paper to managing gigabytes of data. This shift creates a mandate for an enterprise to control and manage its office.

The world knows Indonesia largely through the arts of Java, the nation's most populous island and political center, and through the music and dance of Bali, its tourist capital and Hindu sanctuary.
Subjugated and nearly forgotten, however, are the cultures of dozens of other indigenous ethnic groups from around the archipelago, including that of the Bugis from Sulawesi island. Renowned and feared for seafaring skills that helped spread them across Southeast Asia, the Bugis also developed their own written language and an extraordinary creation myth called Galigo.
Now Robert Wilson, the American avant-garde director and designer, is introducing Galigo to the world in a three-and-a-half-hour stage production. Last month Mr. Wilson had a premiere here for his production of ''I La Galigo,'' based on an epic poem thought to have originated in the 14th century, in which he used a cast of 53 Indonesian musicians and dancers and a transvestite Buginese shaman. ''I La Galigo,'' presented here with English supertitles, is scheduled to tour to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bilbao, Lyon and Ravenna before landing at the Lincoln Center Festival in the summer of 2005.
''It's like Errol Flynn, 'Gulliver's Travels' and the Marx Brothers,'' said Rhoda Grauer, the American documentary filmmaker who more or less rediscovered Galigo while preparing a film on Bugis shipbuilding.
The Bugis are the most populous of four ethnic groups of southern Sulawesi, the island east of Borneo known during colonial times as Celebes. Late converts to Islam, the Bugis dominated maritime trade in the East Indies and were considered pirates by the invading Dutch. Wars with their colonial adversaries and later efforts by Indonesia's government to encourage settlement in less populated parts of the country encouraged waves of Bugis migrations, and the Bugis diaspora can be found as far away as here and Malaysia.
Like other immigrant communities, the Bugis were resented for their economic success and failure to assimilate, and have been at the center of ethnic conflicts in Borneo, Timor and Maluku, forcing many to return to Sulawesi.
Mr. Wilson's production has sparked a revival of interest in Buginese tradition. A seminar on the epic poem he used was held in Sulawesi last year, and another, led by leading Galigo scholars, followed the premiere of ''I La Galigo'' here.
Ms. Grauer, a native of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., who moved to Bali in 1997, stumbled on the Galigo epic while in Sulawesi researching Buginese traditions. Among her surprising discoveries was that there were surviving members of the Bissu priesthood, a group chosen largely from the Bugis transvestite community, who were traditionally advisers to the Bugis royalty.
Known variously as La Galigo and Sureq Galigo, the epic is akin to a Buginese bible, relating the story of man's origins as well as tales that serve as allegories. It is also an almanac for everything from wedding ceremonies to planting and sailing. Parts of the poem, which is composed in pentameter, were traditionally sung at important occasions.
Like the Koran and other major religious texts, Galigo evolved largely through oral tradition. What written versions exist date from no earlier than the 18th century, said Roger G. Tol, director of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies in Jakarta. Any earlier versions have been lost, he said.
''That's our problem with manuscripts from Indonesia,'' Mr. Tol said. ''They rot away because of the insects or the climate.'' As a result, there is no complete, authoritative version of Galigo. The closest is a compilation assembled for a Dutch missionary by a Buginese queen, using partial manuscripts. Efforts are under way to translate the epic into Indonesian, but so far only about one-sixth of its estimated 5,000 pages have been published. No complete English version has been written, and only a handful of people can still read the original Buginese, in which Mr. Wilson's production is sung.
The story begins when the gods of the heavens and the gods of the underworld send their offspring to inhabit the earth. The world's new rulers produce a pair of fraternal twins, Sawerigading and We Tenriabeng, who are fated to fall in love. Warning that their incest would doom the world, Bissu priests order them separated at birth.
Sawerigading ventures abroad, becoming an adventurer to rival Ulysses. Told about the existence of the world's most beautiful woman, he returns home and falls in love with his twin sister. To keep him at bay, We Tenriabeng introduces him to an equally beautiful woman, whom he marries and with whom he has a son named I La Galigo.
Assured that producing an abridged Galigo for the stage would not be sacrilegious, Ms. Grauer and the Indonesian dancer Restu Imansari Kusumaningrum, who had performed in one of Mr. Wilson's recent works, persuaded Mr. Wilson in late 2000 to adapt the epic. (He did not respond to requests for an interview.)
Mr. Wilson invited the two women to come to his Watermill Center for the Arts on Long Island to translate Galigo to the stage. While Ms. Grauer struggled with a group of scholars to condense the vast poem into workable dramaturgy, Ms. Restu organized a group of performers, which she insisted come exclusively from Indonesia. Though most of the performers in the Wilson production are from Sulawesi, the result is far from traditional, Ms. Restu said. ''It's like nothing I've seen in Indonesia,'' she added. ''I feel like I'm looking at a Surrealist painting.''
''I La Galigo'' is narrated in parts by a Bissu priest who sits cross-legged on the stage. The action proceeds unbroken by intermission, with only the mesmerizing sounds of a traditional ensemble, directed by Rahayu Supanggah, to break the somnolence.
While Singapore critics chided Mr. Wilson for exceeding theatergoers' stamina, international critics more familiar with his works praised his restraint in delivering a faithful cultural showpiece.

1. What's carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber, alternatively graphite fiber, carbon graphite or CF,
is a material consisting of fibers about 5–10 μm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms.
The carbon atoms are bonded together in crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment gives the fiber high strength to-volume ratio (makes it strong for its size).
Several thousand carbon fibers are bundled together to form a tow, which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric.
2.The properties of carbon fibers
High stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion
3.Structure and properties of Carbon fibers
Each carbon filament thread is a bundle of many thousand carbon filaments.
A single such filament is a thin tube with a diameter of 5–8 micrometers and consists almost exclusively of carbon.
The earliest generation of carbon fibers (e.g. T300, and AS4) had diameters of 7-8 micrometers. Later fibers (e.g. IM6) have diameters that are approximately 5 micrometers.
The atomic structure of carbon fiber is similar to that of graphite,
consisting of sheets of carbon atoms (graohene sheets) arranged in a regularh exagonal pattern.
The difference lies in the way these sheets interlock.
Graphite is a crystalline material in which the sheets are stacked parallel to one another in regular fashion.
The intermolecular forces between the sheets are relatively weak van der Waals firces, giving graphite its soft and brittle characteristics.
Depending upon the precursor to make the fiber, carbon fiber may be turbostratic or graphitic,
or have a hybrid structure with both graphitic and turbostratic parts present.
In turbostratic carbon fiber the sheets of carbon atoms are haphazardly folded, or crumpled, together.
Carbon fibers derived from Polyacrylonitrile(PAN) are turbostratic,
whereas carbon fibers derived from mesophase pitch are graphitic after heat treatment at temperatures exceeding 2200 C.
Turbostratic carbon fibers tend to have high tensile strength, whereas heat-treated mesophase-pitch-derived
carbon fibers have high Young's modulus (i.e., high stiffness or resistance to extension under load) and high thernal conductivity.
4. Applications of carbon fibers
Carbon fiber is most notably used to reinforce composite materials,
particularly the class of materials known as carbon fiber or graphite reiinforced polymers.
Non-polymer materials can also be used as the matrix for carbon fibers.
Due to the formation of metal carvudes and corrosion considerations, carbon has seen limited success inmetal matrix composite applications.
Reubforce carbon-carbon (RCC) consists of carbon fiber-reinforced graphite, and is used structurally in high-temperature applications.
The fiber also finds use in filtration of high-temperature gases,
as an electrode with high surface area and impeccable corrosion resistance, and as an anti- static component.
Molding a thin layer of carbon fibers significantly improves fire resistance of polymers or thermoset composites because a dense,
compact layer of carbon fibers efficiently reflects heat.
Strongest demands come from aircraft & aerospace, wind energy, as well as the automotive and Carbon bicycle industry.

A Brief History of the Marque
Manufactured: 1955-1958
The Società Motori Deca was founded in 1955 in Borgo Piave di Latina, 70km S of Rome. They built a 48cc four-stroke moped (ciclomotore) and a 100cc four-stroke twin with four-speed gearbox.
In 1957 they produced two lightweight motorcycles of 100 and 125cc - these were four-stroke twins created by joining two smaller engines together. These had a four-speed gearbox and suspension front and rear.

Z-transformation in simulation of continuous system
Miroslav Kašpar, Alexandr Štefek
Mostly used method for continuous system simulation is using algorithms for numeric solving of differential equations system. These algorithms are usual more compute-intensive.
Paper is considering by possibility of using discrete method for solving continuous systems. This kind of system is faster and accuracy is better then other alternative methods (like Euler's method of 1.order).
One part of experiments is compare of outputs from three simulation types:
– solving by RungeKutt 4.order method
– solving by Euler's 1.order method
– solving by new method
In paper there is compare of whole computing process by numeric methods and new method. At the end there is analysis of preparing and using new method to solve continuous systems. Main accent is done on computing time of all methods and on output accuracy too.

Dozens of women, including many famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct - allegations he denies
(Adds jury selection underway)
By Brendan Pierson
NEW YORK, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Jury selection in the rape trial of former movie producer Harvey Weinstein entered its second week Monday as the judge and lawyers in the case choose a panel of 12 impartial New Yorkers to decide his fate.
Weinstein, 67, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assaulting two women, and faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault. His trial began Jan. 6 and could last up to two months.
Weinstein, once one of Hollywood's most powerful producers, made his mark with critically acclaimed films such as "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare in Love."
Since 2017, more than 80 women, including many famous actresses, have accused him of sexual misconduct dating back decades. Weinstein has denied the allegations, saying any sexual encounters he had were consensual.
The allegations helped fuel the #MeToo movement, in which women have gone public with misconduct allegations against powerful men in business and politics.
Jury selection in Weinstein's case is in its first phase, with potential jurors being pre-screened for possible bias. A more intensive phase is expected to begin Thursday in which lawyers will ask more detailed questions about jurors' backgrounds.
Out of 360 potential jurors summoned last week, 106 passed pre-screening, with many excused after saying they could not be impartial. Others were let go for health reasons or because serving in the trial would be a hardship.
Friday's jury selection proceedings were punctuated by a protest, with about 100 women carrying pots and pans dancing across the street from the courthouse.
"The rapist is you. Patriarchy is our judge," the women chanted, first in English and then in Spanish. The chants were heard in the 15th floor courtroom, prompting Weinstein's lawyers to ask that all the potential jurors present be dismissed.
Justice James Burke denied the request, noting that he expected the protest would not be the last.
Burke last week refused to take himself off the case after Weinstein's defense team accused him of bias.
On Jan. 6, as the New York trial began, Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced new sexual assault charges against Weinstein. (Reporting By Brendan Pierson in New York; Editing by Noeleen Walder and Grant McCool)

British wasps protect lettuce and celery from pests
20th Jul 2011
Scientists have found that a native British parasitoid wasp has been found to be very effective at controlling the shore flies that infest lettuce and celery greenhouses, damaging crops and annoying farmers.
Shore flies are small black flies that thrive in aquatic environments with lots of algae. In the wild, this means ponds and lakes of fresh or brackish water. Unfortunately for celery and lettuce farmers, glasshouses fit the bill as well. The shore flies don't attack the vegetables but are very keen on the green algae that grow alongside them where water is used as a growth medium.
"Where infestation of shore flies is heavy, the number of flies becomes a nuisance to glasshouse workers, and a sanitary pest on the crops, reducing marketability," says Luke Tilley, who studied the problem for his NERC-funded PhD at the University of York and Stockbridge Technology Centre. Buyers often reject crops contaminated with larvae, pupae and adult shore, which leads to additional losses.
Killing the shore flies with pesticides is an option, but there is growing pressure from consumers and retailers to cut the use of synthetic chemicals. The food security agenda also demands that farmers grow food using fewer inputs. So Tilley looked into nature's own arsenal for an alternative solution, focusing his research on a solitary parasitoid wasp called Aphaereta debilitata (1).
The wasp is native to Britain and attacks the shore flies in their natural habitat. The female wasps lay their eggs inside the shore fly larvae. "The wasp egg then develops into a larva and then a pupa within the fly's body of the fly, allowing the host fly larva to develop and pupate," Tilley adds. Needless to say, the adult shore fly never gets to see the light of day.
Tilley and his colleagues were keen to see if shore flies in glasshouses can also be kept under control by their natural enemies. To do that, the team set up three small greenhouses and separated them into two units with 50 mixed-age lettuce plants each.
On the first day of the experiment, Tilley introduced shore flies into the greenhouses and let them set up camp. A few weeks later, he introduced solitary wasps to one unit in each glasshouse, and left nature to run its course. Every week for six months, he removed the pots with the ten oldest lettuces and replaced them with new ones. Each pot was inspected carefully for the number of shore flies and solitary wasps, as well as for damage to the lettuces.
The experiment showed promising results. "In all three units where the wasps were introduced, the number of shore flies was significantly reduced, along with the amount of crop damage observed," says Tilley.
This means that the wasp is an efficient control of shore fly populations. "The single introduction of wasps in our study significantly reduced pest numbers," he adds, highlighting that the decrease in shore flies was maintained throughout the half-year study. The findings, published in BioControl, show that Aphaereta debilitata is a valuable addition to the armoury of measures to keep shore flies under control.
The next step is to make the solution available to growers dealing with shore fly infestations. The parasitoid wasp is not commercially available at the moment, but it may be present in smaller numbers in glasshouses already and growers could use this to their advantage (ref 2). "Another paper of ours suggests that there may be some measures for growers to take in order to naturally increase wasp numbers and subsequent control of shore flies," Tilley suggests.
Testing a candidate parasitoid in the glasshouse: control efficacy of Aphaereta debilitata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) against shore fly populations.

Justin Bieber Is Applying to Become Dual Canadian-American Citizen After Hailey Baldwin Wedding
Despite buying a cool $5 million Ontario mansion, Justin Bieber is not speech goodbye to the U.S. anytime presently. In fact, the singer is applying for twin citizenship.
A reporter that Justin Bieber is presently to be a Canadian subject and an american citizen, as he includes a "deep love for the U.S. and an appreciation for this country." His U.S. citizenship is additionally sure to deepen his bond with fiancee and American-born Hailey Baldwin, who lives in new york.
New York has become a mainstay for Jailey throughout their summer engagement, as they have been noticed all round the town making out, breaking down, and even probably getting married. Yesterday, people reported that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin legally tied the knot in new york City's courthouse "without listening to anyone."
According to reporter, Bieber has a green card and has lived in Atlanta since he was thirteen. America is that the country wherever he initial gained fame for his work and Justin Bieber spends most of his time here, an upcoming wedding all the additional reason to settle his relationship with the u. s.. There are 5 steps to turning into a national, including undergoing a background check, providing proof he has a right to be here, and obtaining grilled on all styles of american history while proving he is aware of how to speak English. He might always renounce his Canadian ties, however that will mean jilting convenient access to the $5 million Ontario estate he simply bought.
Hot on the heels of stories that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin tied the knot, a brand new report says the "Love Yourself" singer is functioning to become a U.S. citizen.
Bieber, who was born and raised in Ontario, Canada, has applied for twin citizenship, internet reports, citing multiple sources.
The 24-year-old star has lived within the states since he was thirteen, once he move together with his family to Atlanta. He presently splits his time between los angeles, new york town, and Ontario, wherever he owns a $5 million estate, in line with reporte.
In order to achieve citizenship, the u. s. government needs that an applicant has had a Permanent Resident (Green) Card for a minimum of 5 years. One must be at least eighteen years recent, be ready to "read, write, and speak basic english," and be "a person of fine ethical character," USA.gov states.
A 10-step naturalization method is then advises to see eligibility. that features getting ready and submitting an N-400 type, the appliance for naturalization, likewise as having a private interview and taking the U.S. Naturalization check.
But simply a couple of hours later, Hailey Baldwin hopped on Twitter to deny the reports writing, "I understand where the speculation is coming back from, but I'm not married yet!" If Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber did obtain a wedding license, as repoter have reported, they would have to be wed in the next sixty days. possibly at their stylish new Ontario mansion? that is what reporter thinks, and therefore the ceremony could happen as early as next week.
This lines up with a religious supply from folks, who claims that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin ar in the inside of designing a big, real deal wedding. "They're progressing to have a big blowout, ahead of God and everybody they love," the source said.

Cuntapay appointed as Tagum City's peace and order consultant by Mayor Rellon
july 3, 2013
By Cha Monforte, Rural Urban News
New Tagum City Mayor Allan Rellon has announced the appointment to his losing runningmate Cesar Cuntapay as the city's peace and order consultant for "one peso a year" fee.
Rellon announced this during his first appearance as a city mayor during the convocation and flag-raising ceremony of city hall officials and employees Tuesday, where for two hours he spoke outlining his visions and policies for the city hall and the city.
In his speech, Rellon underscored honesty, discipline, transparency and true service to the people.
A visibly surprised Cuntapay, in an interview, said he was humbled by the mayor's appointment, adding he would be having a lot of work to do for the critical job given to him and to help ensure that Rellon would succeed in his first term of administration.
"I was ambushed by my mayor," he said in gist, adding that the mayor's appointment was a complete surprise to him as did not ask for it.
Cuntapay actively supported the mayoral bid of Rellon in the last polls although in the end he lost to now Vice Mayor Geterito Gementiza.
"I have high respect and regards to Allan, and it's only me who supported him but the people of Tagum," he said.
Cuntapay is a former police investigator and is known in Tagum City to be a businessman visibly supporting the fight against the taking over of the CDA group over Daneco.
He volunteered his business spaces to be used as immediate, temporary offices and collection centers of Daneco-NEA group when the Tagum Tipaz office was held at bay by the CDA group and after the large of majority of Daneco-NEA employees broke away middle last year from what they described as the "illegitimate, illegal Daneco-CDA".
Cuntapay is also a vocal critic to the high tax rates imposed by the previous city administration. He is the president of the Landowners and Landusers Association of Tagum City and of the Multisectoral Consumers Council for Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley provinces.
Cuntapay is bred under the tutelage of strictly disciplinarian Ilocano parents. At young age, he was educated in an exclusive school for boys, and had studied in the seminary of St. Louis fathers from Belgium, before he became a barrister (graduate of Bachelor of Laws) and a policeman serving first Manila then to his home city of Tuguegarao.

The usage of computer-based methods in medical diagnoses are on the rise and are gradually improving the quality of medical services by utilizing larger datasets of symptoms and patient history, as well as diagnostic test results for diagnosis.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning methods are being used to create expert systems that can employ human knowledge and solve problems that ordinarily require direct human expertise.
Beginning in the 1990s and increasing in the 2000s, expert systems based on machine learning methods, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and fuzzy logic (FL) were used for the detection of different types of diseases, including respiratory diseases.
Verlab researchers are investigating possibilities of different architectures of neural networks for prediction of diseases.

Extensive amounts of personal, business, political or even potentially incriminating data are currently stored on various websites and social media platforms which users access and update daily. This rapidly growing amount of information can be vital for businesses and governments in solving real financial, political, or criminal issues, with the help of a professional information analyst.
As we at SAIL LABS Technology GmbH celebrate our 20th Anniversary in 2019, we initiate this special year with an exclusive offer.
We hereby invite you to join us at the five-day Open Source Intelligence Training 2019/1 OSINT – THE SAIL WAY.
The event will be held on 25th to 29th of March at our Vienna headquarters – The SAIL LABS Academy.
The workshop will address the new features of the SAIL LABS products Media Mining System and ASM. Furthermore, participants will be equipped with up-to-date knowledge and current in-demand skills in Open Source Intelligence. Please find more details below and get ready to join us in a stimulating hands-on learning journey.
The Agenda
On Focus
Media Mining System – New Features, Changes and Enhancements
This half-day workshop will discuss the latest version of the award-winning Media Mining System, exploring the new additional features and many improvements.
Denial & Deception – Claiming the Denied Information and Detecting the Deception in Asymmetric Warfare
Denial & Deception as one of the oldest forms of asymmetric warfare occurs when state or non-state actors (e.g. terrorist groups, criminal organizations or separatist movements) use these distinct but intertwined combination of information operations to achieve their objectives against own targets, interests, or policies. Its goal is to influence the judgements made by intelligence producers and thus the consumers of their products.
Whilst denial refers to programs designed to eliminate, impair or neutralize the effectiveness of intelligence collection throughout all disciplines of intelligence, deception refers to manipulation of intelligence collection, analysis or public opinion by introducing false, misleading or even true but misleading information.
As the aim of the intelligence is to acquire accurate information, this day is dedicated to discuss how to detect the "denied" information on one hand and to recognize the deception and reveal the real intentions on the other.
PSYOPS - Psychological Operations in the Age of Social Media and How to Identify and Counter Them
Brexit, US Presidential Election 2016, Arab Spring and the refugee crisis: events in which the public opinion was fundamentally influenced via social media by foreign organizations to reach its own strategic goals.
There is little doubt that social media provides a fruitful environment regarding the possibilities of psychological operations. The challenge is to identify fake news in social media networks as hostile psychological operations and reveal the originator in order to analyze the intention. Finally, all these facts need to be put into meaningful patterns for own future counterintelligence operations.
Consequently, the workshop concerning PSYOPS will provide participants with valuable, in-demand skills needed in countering foreign organizations' psychological operations.
The New Wave of Jihadism, Left-Wing and Right-Wing Political Extremism in Cyberspace
The number of left-wing and right-wing extremists have significantly increased around the globe. Meanwhile, Jihadism is still an ever-changing threat in today's security landscape. Making a sober assessment of these threats is therefore imperative for better understanding how these networks avoid detection from law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
This workshop will hence provide an overview on possible future trends of extremist tactics and strategies, their current cyber activities and their emerging narratives, ideology and adapting modus operandi online and offline.
Feature Request Session
This half-day workshop will focus on discussing the current needs of OSINT users and the possibilities of further advances in the field, powered by SAIL LABS solution.

Application of Pressuremeter Test (PMT) in Victorian Brown Coal Open-Pit Mining
2018-09-06T22:56:30Z (GMT) by
The Pressuremeter Test (PMT) is a versatile in-situ geotechnical field investigation method, but its application in open-pit mining may be challenged by two issues: the in-situ horizontal stress anisotropy and the tensile strength of the rock mass. This thesis develops two laboratory tests to understand the impacts of the issues and performs in-situ PMT in Victorian brown coal open-pit mine.

CEO Uncut: SMEs, the heroes of the post-Brexit economy
John Glencross, CEO and Co-Founder, Calculus Capital, shares his views on the future for SMEs in the post-Brexit economy.
There is understandable anger from those who wanted to remain, confusion about what next and mostly unhelpful comments from prominent figures on both sides. Most of the furore is irrelevant, however. The rules were clear at the start of the referendum process and we need to move on.
Some of the wisest heads at this time are the quietest voices, so a few quiet comments. In twenty years of investing in smaller UK companies, I have rarely seen so many businesses seeking equity finance. This was true in the lead up to the referendum and those companies show no sign of re-assessing their plans. The Financial Times has reports of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, HSBC and other international banks planning to relocate operations out of the UK. SMEs are likely to be the heroes of the post Brexit economy.
The SME sector has a low correlation to larger companies and the mainstream equity markets and the vibrancy and dynamism of these companies is one our strongest economic assets. Over 99% of UK companies are small businesses and almost 50% of our private sector GDP is produced by SMEs; they also account for 60% of all private sector employment in the UK*. For at least two decades, these small businesses have been the UK's engine for job creation, innovation and growth. The climate for these enterprises in the UK remains hugely positive. Going forward, they will play an ever stronger role in driving the UK economy. If anything, they are also potential beneficiaries of a cheaper currency.
We are rich in science and technology and the UK is an entrepreneurial nation. Whether it is in science, technology, healthcare or more routine sectors such a leisure and business services, in the post-Brexit world, EIS and VCT funding for these companies will be vitally important in providing the capital they need to thrive. Since 1993, over 23,000 companies have raised funds through EIS through economic highs and some very deep lows, pumping over £14bn into businesses which would otherwise have struggled to find financing to grow and succeed.
In addition to a lower exchange rate, one possible benefit for these companies from Brexit is that, in time, the Treasury may cut away much of the complexity imposed on these schemes by Brussels and enable EIS funds and VCTs to support even more of our entrepreneurial SME economic base.
It is business as usual for smaller companies' fundraising. We at Calculus are committed to empowering a new generation of dynamic British companies, so that they may achieve their goals. Successful SME investment is a virtuous circle which benefits our investors, and, importantly, the UK economy.
Every chancellor of every political persuasion has sought to improve the value and effectiveness of EIS and VCT funding for smaller businesses since the schemes were first introduced. We will maintain our dialogue with the Treasury to ensure that the importance of smaller companies continues to be recognised and acknowledged in Treasury policy.

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.– The impeachment hearings are over for now but could continue after the Thanksgiving holiday. Thursday, we heard from former National Security Council Russia Expert Fiona Hill and Ukraine diplomat David Holmes, and once again, we saw President Donald Trump respond to the hearings on Twitter. This time, President Donald Trump expressed doubts over Holmes' recollection of a telephone conversation he overheard between Ambassador Gordon Sondland and President Trump. Holmes said he could hear it because the President was speaking loudly. "I then heard President Trump ask, so, he is going to do the investigation? Ambassador Sondland replied that he is going to do it, adding that President Zelensky will do anything you ask him to do," said Holmes. Politico contributing editor Adam Wren said the witnesses gave clear and telling testimony. "President Trump used the power and authority of his office to try to incentivize Ukraine to investigate his chief political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden," said Wren. But is that impeachable and worthy of the President's removal? Wren said that's up to Congress to decide. Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said he isn't convinced. He said the hearings are entirely political. "I believe all the witnesses are giving their opinion, their interpretation." Sen. Braun said he needs more concrete evidence. "I look at questions like, do you think this is an impeachable offense? Did the president actually say there was a quid pro quo?" said Braun. He later said, "If there is further evidence that would come forward, either exculpatory or you know blaming the president with a closer connection, you've got to be open to that." Wren said even if the President is impeached, it likely won't impact voters in 2020. "His supporters will kind of wear this impeachment as a badge of honor and his detractors will kind of hold this over his head for the rest of his tenure," said Wren. In the video above, President Trump reacts to this week's hearings and blasts Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an interview with Nexstar Washington correspondent Anna Wiernicki. But there are also questions about Vice President Mike Pence, after Ambassador Gordon Sondland testified this week he expressed concerns to Pence about the delay in military aid to Ukraine, something the VP's office has denied. Wren said he isn't sure about how this impeachment inquiry will impact Pence. "If he gets into an interview and sort of has to deal with tough questions from a reporter or journalist," said Wren. "I'm really interested to see how this moves forward and how he is able to handle it and what that does to his position on the ticket." He thinks more testimony will continue after Thanksgiving and eventually, the President will be impeached. However, it will come down to Senators to decide whether to remove him from office. After the hearings in the House intelligence committee this week, committee member Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) issued a statement about the impeachment process, defending the inquiry and his committee chair:
"These hearings have been historic. Not only because this is just the fourth presidential impeachment inquiry in American history, but also because of the presidential behavior in question, which was vividly illustrated by the witnesses who have come before our committee and the American people. I thank all of them for providing their testimony, which further revealed the necessity of this process to hold our leaders accountable… I am honored to have participated in these hearings, and through hours of testimony, I gained a deeper appreciation of the many things that truly make America great: principled public servants who believe in the promise of America, and put duty and country above self; the strength of American diplomacy, and its ability to shape geopolitics for the better; and our country's reputation as a beacon of stability and a leader on the world stage. Yet, those attributes were all threatened and grossly undermined by President Trump's actions, which makes me even more confident that the inquiry is the only way to begin repairing this damage, and ensure it never happens again. I thank Chairman Schiff for his continued leadership in this endeavor. He has endured countless attacks, smears and threats, all in the pursuit of the truth. He too represents so much of what is great about our country and its leaders."This week's hearings also took center stage at Wednesday's presidential debate, with nearly all of the Democratic candidates still supporting the impeachment process. In the video below, Wren recaps the debate, and analyzes the latest polling numbers:

If you are coming to the US on an exchange visitor program, you will need to complete a visa application. You can do this either in your home country (or country of legal permanent residence) or abroad. Here is what you should consider before making your decision:
Completing a Visa Application in Your Home Country
The recommended option is to complete your visa application in your home country, or country of legal permanent residence. There are a couple of reasons for this:
- When you apply for your visa you give the embassy your passport. They hold onto this for several days for up to several weeks. Being without your travel documents in a foreign country is not a great idea. Imagine if you're from Germany and you are in Cambodia and you suddenly have to leave the country but your passport is with the embassy.
- The wait time for appointments and visa processing times are typically more favorable if you are applying in your home country.
- If you are applying for an Exchange Visitor Visa: It is typically easier to show home country ties if you are already in your home country.
Completing a Visa Application Abroad
It is possible to complete your visa application and interview abroad. In some cases it may be a better option if:
- Travel costs are substantially cheaper
- Visa wait times are substantially lower
- There is no US Embassy or Consulate in your home country
Keep in mind that you are not able to apply for a visa within the US, as there are no US embassies or consulates in the country. There is a process called "change of status" that is possible but not recommended. This can take a long time to process, and may result in you overstaying your current visa. This option is also generally not supported by J-1 visa sponsors.
Tip: If you are currently in the US, and applying for an exchange visitor visa, ask your sponsor if they can process your application while you are in the US. Make sure to also ask if they require you be outside the US for a certain period of time before your new internship begins.

Fresh from their smash season-opening victory Monday night over the Miami Dolphins, the New England Patriots are getting ready for their home opener Sunday afternoon, September 18, against the Chargers of San Diego.
I'm even more excited than usual about a Patriots game because I'll be attending a pro game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Sunday for the first time since the place opened in 2002. Also, it's a freebie: I'll be there as someone's guest in one of those obnoxiously plush corporate boxes. You bet I'll take all the luxury, pampering, drinks and viddles they treat me to. Why go to the coliseum if you don't want to act like a Roman?
Yeah, the Razor (as the Globe's Dan Shaughnessy likes to call Gillette Stadium) has it all: 68,000-plus seats, 46 permanent concession stands, 60 portable food and beverage stands, two gigantic (48 X 27 feet) scoreboards, a main concourse, an upper concourse, a special Putnam (as in investments) Club with seating for 6,600 fans, and four separate first aid stations for idiots like me who get too excited after every big play and end up spraining their wrists with the obligatory high-fiving. It even has a 12-story-high "lighthouse" near the main entrance that beckons the devoted more effectively than a church spire.
Gillette Stadium only has one problem: It is in Foxborough. On Route 1.
Boston to Foxborough is only 21 miles. When there's no traffic, it's a fairly quick ride. On game days, however, as many season ticket holders attest, it can easily take you one hour to drive there, find a parking space in one of the many $50-per-space parking lots that spring to temporary life, and hike a third of a mile or more to your seat in Spectacleland.
After the game, the travel away from this burb really gets rough.
From having attended a U-2 concert at Gillette, I know it can take an hour just to extricate your vehicle from one of those chaotic, fan-fleecing lots and crawl onto Route 1. Then it can take another 20 minutes to get to Route 95, at which time you have maybe a half-hour ride to Boston. If you're lucky.
On your way to the game, you're filled with anticipation, so the drive doesn't seem so bad. Afterwards, the inevitable letdown sets in, even if the Pats have won. You're tired, maybe a little beat up by all the booze and high-fat "snacks" you had to have, and the Monday morning blues are starting to wrap their heavy hands around your weary body and brain. The drive home then can feel like a penalty devised by your worst enemy.
In the late-1990s, there were two different plans to build a professional sports stadium as a home for the Patriots in Boston. One proposal would have sited it in South Boston and the other along Melnea Cass Boulevard in Roxbury, the "crosstown" site. Residents in both locations voiced strong initial objections and the city's political leaders basically folded without a fight.
I don't know if Gillette Stadium should be in South Boston or Roxbury, but it should be somewhere in Boston, somewhere where it can be approached via multiple routes and is served by several modes of transportation.
Boston is the Hub of New England, a city with world-class institutions, a tourist mecca. It is the capital of a major state with more than six million inhabitants. And Boston proper hosts teams in the major professional sports of baseball (Red Sox), basketball (Celtics) and hockey (Bruins).
That such a city does not also host a team as illustrious and popular as the New England Patriots is the mistake that will never go away. (Those aerial shots of Boston taken from blimps during commercial breaks do not cut it.)
A football game, even when it decides a championship, has no ultimate importance, which is another reason why a fan should not have to give up an entire day of his life to attend one, as many a Patriot fan now must do.

The Company had on 3 July 2018 announced that the Securities Commission Malaysia ("SC") had vide their letter dated 27 June 2018 ("SC letter") reprimanded MSPORTS as a result of its finding that MSPORTS has breached Section 354(1)(a) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 ("CMSA") read together with Section 369(b)(B) of the CMSA for knowingly causing the furnishing of MSPORTS's Financial Statements that is false or misleading to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities"), as follows:-
- MSPORTS had failed to disclose the outstanding liabilities under the 8 Loans owed by Baixing in MSPORTS's Financial Statements. In the said Financial Statements, it was disclosed under "Interest-bearing bank borrowings" that MSPORTS's liabilities were RMB11.5 million only instead of the liabilities highlighted in the SC's Notice to Show Cause dated 13 February 2018.
- The non-disclosure of the outstanding liabilities as stated above had caused MSPORTS's Financial Statements, which were lodged with Bursa Securities, to contain false or misleading information relating to the affairs of MSPORTS.
As such, pursuant to Section 354(3)(c) of the CMSA, SC reprimands MSPORTS taking into account the fact that new Directors have been appointed on the Board and efforts are being made to regularise its operations and financial condition.
[Source: MSPORTS's announcement on Bursa Malaysia's website on 3 July 2018]
Financial statements are not only a basic and important tool used by the investors in making their investment decisions, it is also a document that serves as a source of important information for other stakeholders of the Company which include creditors, bankers, etc. Given this fact, the integrity of the financial statements must not in any way be compromised.
The announcement alludes to the fact that new Directors have been appointed on the Board and efforts are being made to regularise its operations and financial condition.
We are also of the view that besides reprimanding the Company for the misleading Financial Statements furnished, Bursa Securities should also hold accountable those Directors on the Board when the financial statements were prepared and furnished. Sanctions should also be imposed on those directors regardless of the fact that they have resigned as a Board member (perhaps pursuant to section 369(b)(B) of the CMSA or some other appropriate sections).
Also, under Section 592(1)(c) of the Companies Act 2016, an officer of a corporate who, with intent to deceive, makes or furnishes or knowingly and wilfully authorizes or permits the making or furnishing, of, any false or misleading statement or report to a stock exchange relating to the affairs of the corporation commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or fine not exceeding three million or to both.
Under this Section, Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) can also take the necessary actions against the Directors who were involved in the wrongdoing.
TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BERHAD ("TGCB" or "the Company")
TGCB had on 7 July 2018 announced that the company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Top Care Sdn Bhd have taken legal proceedings against Adventa Capital Pte Ltd vide the Kuala Lumpur High Court and the High Court of the Republic of Singapore, as well as Low Chin Guan, Wong Chin Toh and ACPL Sdn Bhd vide the writ action on 29 June 2018 and 2 July 2018.
As clarified by the Company in its announcement on 9 July 2018, TGCB discovered irregularities in certain balance sheet items of Aspion, in particular, inventories, and plant and machinery. Upon such discovery, Top Glove conducted its own investigations and appointed an independent accounting firm to investigate the irregularities in Aspion's accounts as well as the possible overstatement of the acquisition price for Aspion.
From the interim report given by the independent accounting firm, there is currently an overstatement of inventory, plant and machinery in Aspion's accounts amounting to RM74.4 million ("Overstatement of Assets"). Further, the interim report also states that the acquisition price of Aspion was overstated by RM640.5 million ("Overvaluation"). Therefore, the claim amount of RM714.9 million in the legal proceedings consists of the Overstatement of Assets and the Overvaluation.
In the reply to the queries from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad's letter dated 9 July 2018, it was stated that the management is in the process of re-assessing the profits and cash flows projection of Aspion in view of the latest development. The Company endeavours to incorporate the financial impact, if any, in the coming 4th quarter financial results ending 31 August 2018.
The Company has on 11 July 2018 announced that the ex-parte Mareva Order granted by the High Court on 2.7.2018 against Wong Chin Toh, Low Chin Guan and ACPL in the Writ Action as well as the ex-parte Mareva Order granted by the High Court on 2.7.2018 against Adventa Capital have been set aside by the High Court today. The inter partes hearing for both applications are now fixed on 19.7.2018.
[Source: TGCB's announcement on Bursa Malaysia's website on 7 July 2018, 9 July 2018, 10 July 2018 and 11 July 2018]
This is a serious perplexing case of "misadventure" in an acquisition – and a large one too. Many questions have arisen but will there be sensible and acceptable answers?
To begin with, was there a full and thorough due diligence conducted which could have detected all these irregularities? Based on press reports, the due diligence was conducted in a Virtual Data Room (VDR) manner without a full/physical due diligence at Aspion's plants/operations. This approach may have been chosen to protect Aspion's proprietary technology as TGCB was a competitor to Aspion. Isn't the approach too big a risk in relation to such a massive acquisition?
In the SPA, apart from the profit guarantee, there were seller's warranties for claims up to RM50 million, in the event of discrepancies found after the completion of the transaction. This is insufficient to cover the overstatement of assets by RM74.4 million.
Of course, a very puzzling discovery is the issue of overvaluation to the tune of RM640.5 million. Many would find it difficult to comprehend how this overvaluation could have come about. What exactly was the profit guarantee based on? Had the profit guarantee been realistic and achievable, would there still be an overvaluation?
With TGCB having suspended Mr Low (Managing Director of Aspion) and taken full control of Aspion's management, would the profit guarantee be still valid and would there be a risk of net profit shortfall?
Obviously, the share price of TGCB plummeted and investors who invested in TGCB based on its reportedly strong fundamentals suffered. TGCB may have to impair its accounts as early as its Q4 results ending 31 August 2018. The whole episode threatens to be a long-drawn legal dispute which will not only increase TGCB's costs but also distract it from its daily operations.
There are many lessons to be learnt from this episode, ranging from sufficient due diligence to structuring a proper deal with more robust risk mitigation features.

A New Kind of Normal
Hope-filled Choices When Life Turns Upside DownBook - 2007
Carol Kent has lived every parent's nightmare. After her only son was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, Carol's life took a permanent detour. She and her husband, Gene, have been adjusting ever since, moving to Florida to be near the prison, starting a new ministry for prison inmates and their families, and sharing the faithfulness of God with anyone who will listen.
A New Kind of Normal begins with the story of that horrible night when Carol and Gene learned their son had been arrested, but it doesn't end there. In fact, Carol knows what it means to live with an unthinkable circumstance that will never change-and to still make hope-filled choices. Through the eight chapters in this book, Carol will use their own story, the story of Mary mother of Jesus, and stories of women who have experienced their own "new normal" to share how God has led them to choose life, gratitude, vulnerability, involvement, forgiveness, trust, and action.

Hosting Coordinator
Adriana Chaves graduated as a Psychologist in Colombia and has over 20 years of experience in the field of adoption and foster care. She initiated her career doing private practice and soon became the Psychology Coordinator of FANA, a private institution well known in Colombia for its professional approach to adoption and the care of children. During her 20 years in that institution, she managed to create the Psychology Department, as well as supporting hundreds of families and children to reach their family dreams. In parallel, Adriana continued with her private practice. She studied psychology, and graduated with a Bachelor's in Psychological Evaluation of Children and a Master's in Clinical and Family Psychology.
Adriana and her sons, Simon and Pablo, relocated to South Florida from Colombia last year after her husband, Sergio, was transferred by the company he works for. She is excited to join the Madison Adoption Associates team coordinating the hosting program, supporting the Colombia adoption program, and counseling children and families post adoption.

All this time I've been obsessing about the return of Bill Murray's Peter Venkman in the Ghostbusters 3, I completely forgot about Dana Barrett. Signourney Weaver voiced her opinion whether or not she's ready for more evil dog possessions, and her character's possible future with Venkman.
In an interview with MTV, Weaver revealed that not only had she been thinking about a Ghostbusters sequel, but that she was going to talk to Bill Murray about it next week. Whatever happened to those two crazy kids anyways? Did they get married, move out of the city, buy a couple chocolate labs, and now they only fight over silly things like forgetting to separate the recycling? Weaver wonders as well.
Does he think we got married or something?" she laughed. Weaver wasn't sure if there was a place for her in the story but she did think someone deserves a spot. "I would hope that my little Oscar would be one of the Ghostbusters even if I'm not in it!"
Alas, it sounds like she hasn't really been approached for it yet, but then again the script (penned by The Office writers) still hasn't been written.

This was the epitome of callous ingratitude: The images of men who fought for this country in World War II and in the late winter of their lives, mere shadows of their youthful selves to pay final homage to those comrades who died on the battlefields or who, by the grace of God, training, or just luck, survived and returned only through the years to be beaten by the most relentless general of them all--General Old Age--who awaits all of us (see poem General Old Age on www.alaskanpoet.blogspot.com being turned away by government barricades under the guise of a government shutdown should outrage us all. The President who was supposed to bring us together has turned out to be the most partisan, divisive president we have ever seen. Whether you supported Obama or not, this trip for these brave men could well at their ages be their last. Shame on you President Obama, shame! To try to force the House to capitulate to your demands by using these veterans as pawns is outrageous. My father served in the U.S.Navy in World War II and saw action in Operation Typhoon, the invasion of Okinawa, the bloodiest and deadliest battle the United States Navy in which 4907 sailors lost their lives. Thank God he died at 87 in Petersburg, Alaska an was not alive to witness this travesty:
The Final Wound and No Purple Heart
The endured in the ice and snow, rubbled cities, muddy fields, desert sands and the monsoon rains and jungle rot
And throughout it all they grabbed their M-1s, closed the hatches, climbed aboard to soldier on and as citizen soldiers fought
Waded through the bloody Tarawa waters, Pelileu's coral reefs and deadly MG 42 caressed Omaha Beach
Festung Europa, Shuri Line. Gustav, les bocage, Siegfried, not a barrier or barricade they could not breach
They crossed the Rhine, jumped too many times into harm's way from the sky
All the time watching too many Purple Hearts earned, too many men to die
In thin khaki or steel ships and tanks, wooden Higgins or gliders or aluminum planes
Fought and bled and died as youthful hopes and dreams interrupted and detrained
And now in the late winter of their lives, mere shadows of their former youth in a final parade
A maybe final, slow, halting, hobbling march to an open air Memorial guarded with a fresh barricade
They fought, bled and died so this Republic would endure
A right to vote, consent of the governed and free debate to insure
Only to become pawns in a childish my-way-or-the--highway game
As each, yes each, side plays the photo opt and talking heads defame
But a Memorial closed by a government only to score points that on this day turned its back
A sacrilege of these vets' honor and sacrifice, totally off base and on a despised track
A group of Red House members moved the barriers so aging vets did not have to depart
Images on this sad October day of final wounds, but without even debt of final Purple Hearts.

Public Argument
Critical Reading and Persuasive Writing
It is finally time to engage in a debate: drawing on your research and the persuasive strategies you have studied throughout the semester, you will produce an argument advocating your own position within a controversy pertaining to some aspect of democracy.
By now you have very likely decided where you stand on the larger issues of your controversy, but you will still need to decide exactly what you want to accomplish in your argument. In the previous assignments, your purpose was mainly informative and evaluative (a combination of description, explanation, and analysis). For this assignment, your purpose is mainly persuasive. Before you begin, consider asking yourself some questions about your own motives for writing this argument: do you want your audiences to change their minds about something? Do you want them to open their minds to something? Do you want them to get out and do something? You'll need to be very clear about what you hope to accomplish vis-à-vis your audience when you write this final paper, as an argument designed to get someone to go out and do something often looks very different than one designed to get someone to believe something (else).
You will also need to determine how you want to make your argument. To get a sense of how to make your argument, you will want to study the arguments offered by a handful of sources that advocate your selected position, as well as some key sources that call your position into question. Taken together, these sources will act as helpful guides for you, but you do not want simply to repeat and rebut the arguments other writers have already made; rather, you will want to come up with your own unique angle, example, or source that makes your argument different and interesting. You might offer, for instance, new information you gathered through an interview with someone connected to your controversy, compelling results of a survey or experiment that you have conducted, or a close analysis in which you expose the hidden weaknesses of a familiar argument.
The rhetorical strategies that you choose to utilize will depend on many factors, but in general, strong advocates will use a combination of persuasive appeals, credible sources, and rhetorical analysis in an effort to persuade their intended audiences. You will need to think carefully about the general makeup of your intended audience and write a tagline at the top of your essay describing who this audience is and where you intend to publish your argument. An argument addressed to people who already agree with your position will sound quite different from one crafted to persuade a skeptical audience to change their minds, so it is important to know who your primary audience is and to respect their initial positions. Generally, it is most productive to address people who have some knowledge of the issues involved but whose own positions on the subject have not yet been solidly determined. What strategies might persuade such people? And where will your argument need to appear to reach them?
Minimum Requirements:

text: Parks and recreation are vital to our health and well-being and create stronger communities that can protect and better recover from environmental, social and economic challenges. Every day local park and recreation professionals and champions are working on innovative, long-term solutions to ensure that our communities have fair and just access to great parks and greenspace, recreation facilities and programs. They are helping to close critical gaps in quantity of parks, proximity of parks and connection to parks all while ensuring that these places are safe, inclusive, culturally relevant and welcoming for everyone. NRPA is uniting these local leaders, advocating for policy change and advancing local solutions through research, tools and catalytic grants. Through these areas of work, we seek to create systems-level changes in policy, planning and funding, and support place-based projects that are driven by communities. Join us as we work to ensure fair and just access to parks for communities across the United States. Park Access Network NRPA brings together a network of park and recreation professionals committed to driving long-term change to address park access and quality. Through a combination of bimonthly webinars and group calls, network members share and learn strategies, discuss different approaches and develop connections with peers across the United States. Events occur every third Thursday of the month at 2 p.m. ET. Webinars The webinars, hosted on NRPA's online learning system, feature park and recreation professionals and other land-use experts and other specialists that have implemented a variety of park access solutions. Participants are able to engage in a question and answer segment. A recording of the webinar, presentation slides and other resources are made available to everyone after the webinar. Upcoming webinars: July 16, 2020: Engaging City Leadership in Equitable Park Access & Quality Webinar Register for the Webinars Network Calls The network calls are an opportunity to connect with and learn from your peers who are just as passionate as you about addressing park access and quality. Led by park and recreation professionals, these calls offer a more informal opportunity to discuss, share knowledge and pose questions related to the topic of the call. Upcoming network calls: June 18, 2020: Park Access Network Call August 20, 2020: Park Access Network Call Register for the Network Calls In order to participate in all opportunities offered by the Park Access Network, you must register separately for both the webinars and network calls. You do not have to attend a webinar to join a network call and we encourage you to participate in either or both. Join the Park Access Network on NRPA Connect to stay up to date on upcoming Network events. 10 Minute Walk NRPA is part of 10 Minute Walk, a national effort dedicated to improving access to safe, quality parks and green spaces. We work with leaders in cities and towns across the United States to raise awareness around the importance of parks and green spaces and to make parks top of mind with the people who are planning the future of our cities. Led by The Trust for Public Land (TPL), in partnership with NRPA and the Urban Land Institute and with support from The JPB Foundation, 10 Minute Walk is working to create a world where everyone in the U.S. has safe, convenient access to a park within a 10-minute walk of home by 2050. Research and Tools NRPA has developed a number of tools to help park and recreation agencies make data-based decisions and communicate the importance of parks. Below are a few of our tools related to Park Access: Community Engagement Resource Guide Creating Equity-Based System Master Plans Facility Market Reports Infographics on Parks and Health Mapping and Data Resources Park Improvement Projects Parks for Inclusion Park Metrics Safe Routes to Parks Advancing Local Solutions NRPA provides catalytic grants to build and promote local solutions to park access in our most disinvested. From park capital improvement projects to system-wide planning support, NRPA provides approximately $5 million and in-kind assistance to over 320 local communities annually.

Personal Insolvency – Bankruptcy
A Bankruptcy Order is made by the Court either on the application of a creditor who is owed over £750 or a debtor personally.
The process of requesting the Court to make someone bankrupt is referred to as petitioning the Court for a Bankruptcy Order.
A debtor who wishes to petition the court to make themselves bankrupt must pay fees of up to £700. This figure comprises a Court fee of £175 and a fee of £525 to contribute towards the costs of administering the bankruptcy. The Court fee may be waived in certain circumstances for example if the debtor receives certain benefits.
Once the Court has made an Order that a debtor shall be made bankrupt his/her assets come under the control of the Official Receiver who is automatically appointed as Trustee in Bankruptcy
If the bankrupt has assets the Official Receiver may call a meeting of creditors to appoint a Trustee in Bankruptcy who must be a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, in his place or the Secretary of State may appoint a Trustee.
The Trustee is responsible for realising the bankrupt's assets, settling the costs of the bankruptcy including the costs of the Official Receiver and if possible distributing funds to creditors.
Bankruptcy generally lasts for one year before an individual is discharged but the individual may be required to make contributions from their income for the benefit of their creditors for up to 3 years. If the bankrupt has acted dishonestly, or is blameworthy in some way the Official Receiver may apply for a Bankruptcy Restriction Order (BRO) for between 2 and 15 years. The restrictions are the same as those applying to bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy will affect an individuals ability to obtain credit even after they have been discharged as credit reference agencies keep a record of bankruptcy for six years.
Bankruptcy usually involves the closure of any business that the bankrupt runs and the dismissal of their employees
It can affect employment. Members of certain professions including solicitors and people whose roles are regulated by the Financial Services Authority are not allowed to become bankrupt.
If a bankrupt owns a house either solely or jointly with a partner their share or interest in the property must be realised for the benefit of creditors. In many cases a forced sale of the property, which can be expensive and time consuming, may be avoided if a spouse or other relative or friend can purchase the bankrupts interest.
