Sinn Féin committed to establishment of Executive for all - O'Neill
Speaking during the opening session of the 2017 Sinn Féin Ard Fheis, party Leader in the North Michelle O'Neill MLA said Sinn Féin is committed to tackling sectarianism, building a just and fair society based on equality and respect and reiterated Sinn Féin's commitment to the restoration of an Executive at Stormont that delivers for everyone.
Michelle O'Neill said:
"A key challenge for us all is to confront sectarianism and the causes which segregate our communities still – 20 years on from the Good Friday Agreement.
"The DUP's denial of rights for all citizens, and the failure to fully implement previous political agreements, the contempt shown for Irish national identity and culture combined with the RHI scandal to tip us into the ongoing political crisis.
"These rights include marriage equality, language rights, a bill of rights and the rights to an inquest in legacy cases.
"An Irish Language Act has both practical and symbolic importance in recognising and respecting Irish national identity."
Michelle O'Neill also repeated that Sinn Féin remain committed to the political institutions.
"Sinn Féin has invested hugely in the peace process and the political institutions for the benefit of everyone and we remain committed to making the institutions work.
"I want to lead Sinn Féin back into a new Executive, which represents genuine equal partnership Government.
"For over 10 months Sinn Féin has sought to resolve these issues through dialogue and political negotiations with the DUP and both Governments.
"However, despite our best endeavours the discussions were unsuccessful. In large part this was pre-determined by the Conservative party's pact with the DUP to keep them in government.
"Sinn Féin remains committed to the restoration of the institutions and the Executive.
"However, they only have value if they enjoy the confidence and support of the people they were established to serve. For, as Martin McGuinness said, there is no going back to the status quo."
The Sinn Féin leader in the North also said Sinn Féin will continue to work to find a solution to the current political challenges.
"We in the Sinn Féin leadership will continue to play our part to make every effort to find a political solution to the political breakdown. These issues are not going away.
"If the DUP or anyone else wish to exercise political power in Government in the North of Ireland now or in the future, then the cost is to embrace a rights-based society and equal partnership government, which works for everyone. This would pave the way for the Executive to be restored.
"The people voted for the implementation of previous political agreements; they voted for the values of the Good Friday Agreement and they voted for a step change and no return to the status quo.
"That's what I am about. That's what Sinn Féin is about."

Tesla in fatal pond crash not on Autopilot, company says
A Tesla Model S that plunged into a Castro Valley pond this weekend, killing its driver, was not operating in self-steering Autopilot mode at the time of the crash, Tesla said Wednesday.
"We have been able to recover enough data from the vehicle to confirm that Autopilot was not engaged at the time of this accident," a company spokesperson said.
Danville resident Keith Leung, a 34-year-old musician and engineer, was pronounced dead at the scene after divers with the Alameda County Sheriff's Office located the Tesla submerged in the pond along Crow Canyon Road. His Model S had veered off the road, crashed through a fence and careened into the water.
Tesla's Autopilot system, first introduced in 2015, has come under increased scrutiny following a fatal crash this March in which a Model X operating in Autopilot mode slammed into a freeway divider in Mountain View, killing its driver. This month, a Model S on Autopilot crashed into a fire truck in Utah, breaking the foot of the driver, who said she had been looking at her phone at the time of the accident. Federal authorities are investigating both incidents.

The bathroom is also part of the trendy modern living design. The clear and matter-of-fact forms of modern interior design appeal to people who like it puristically. How to get this style in your bathroom and what you should pay attention, you will learn here with some nice suggestions.
Modern living as a trendy style in the bathroom
The bathroom has long ceased to be a shameful, quiet place, but in recent decades has become the necessary oasis of well-being. Where in the past wash basins, wet cells with wooden floors or a sink in the kitchen had to suffice, today's bathrooms are equipped with much more comfort. Even when setting up, there are great living ideas for the bathroom – including the so-called modern bathroom.
The mantra of modern living is puristic objectivity, which is achieved with smooth and reduced designs in muted colors. Not classified as a separate style of living, but with no frills furniture and other equipment, this modern style is therefore timeless, practical and with plenty of free space. Especially in the bathroom, these criteria are not insignificant, since bathroom designs usually have to serve several decades and are usually not replaced so quickly.
Colorings in white or gray are often to be found, which can be spiced up with dosed decoration. In addition to wood and glass, concrete is a welcome guest in modern living. In the bathroom, the bare walls or washbasins can be made of concrete – which, however, always depends on the personal taste.
Extra tip: If you have old, unsightly tiles on the walls of your bathroom and scare a renovation with a lot of dirt, there is the possibility to cover them with special coverings of various manufacturers without joints. But you should first get permission from your landlord if you live in a rented apartment. This will give you hygienic and easy-care surfaces in your bathroom very quickly.
Bathroom furniture and equipment in the modern bathroom
Furniture in the bathroom is solely for the storage of utensils that are needed there. Modern-style bathroom furniture also has straight lines and smooth surfaces that are easy to clean. With a functional wall cupboard for towels – or a mirror cabinet for cosmetics – with fronts in white you do not do much wrong. Indirect lighting brings atmosphere into the room, which can be complemented by direct light on the make-up mirror great.
The same aspects apply to the actual bathroom furnishings. For example, sinks in angular shapes or washbasins fitted on substructures absolutely correspond to a modern bathroom. Free-standing bathtubs and floor-level showers are just as popular and barrier-free. Of course, there are also wall-mounted bathtubs or showers with access doors in the modern style of furnishing. Primarily, it depends on the shape and color.

spent the last 5 hours in wordpress hell on a friend's site. pages and posts were not updating. weird things were happening. i went straight to phpmysql and started dropping tables. still not clear what the issue was. beginning to suspect the AMP plugin update that was rolled out recently.
Category Archives: General
walaba is back.
at some point on the old server, walaba.com got hacked, and it looks like someone was able to install a malware plugin into the wordpress. this morning, it's finally gone. it wasn't really a priority, obviously…it's been 5 years or something in disrepair. back then i was thinking that puerto viejo could use a good website, but today i am less certain that what puerto viejo really needs is another website.
rain, semana santa, troubleshooting
sitting here listening to the rain at nearly 1 in the morning. semana santa is here, traffic in town is becoming unwieldy. i did a fair amount of online troubleshooting today, worked on a spanish version of la costa de papito's site, and still wondering what the hell is going on over at walaba.com seems like the hacking it had is still there.
the coffee beans are red and ripe
driving through the hills of heredia today, through the curvy roads bordered by fields of the cafetaleros, i noticed the coffee plants are filled with ripe red coffee beans ready for the harvest.
2018 Relaunch of EricHaller.com
New host, new backend improvements, all set to kick off 2019 with blazing speed and (possibly) new posts.
current user: full range
this is the record that bret, pete, and i did in the late 90s.
Current User: Old Cassette Demo
i found an old cassette demo that we recorded with current user back in….1992? something like that. i digitized it and threw a little compression on it. the oxide on the tape is a little pitted in some places, so there are dropouts, but it's cool to listen to this stuff after so many years. no protools, no computers. 8 track tascam 388 mixed to cassette. one of my brother's wishes was that more of his "superfine bass lines" would be shared more broadly with the world, so this is a good start.
bret haller – bass | craig levitz (irwin) – drums | anthony wilson – guitar & vox | eric haller -guitar & vox
so, i am back here goofing around
i am tinkering again with wordpress and publishing etc. and so if you are visiting, you may experience some work in progress site changes. man, i am really questioning the wisdom of having echoed my tweets to the site for months. luckily they can probably be filtered and deleted fairly easily.

sunday pipa water
my mom and i are enjoying a glass of pipa (young coconut) water from the garden this morning. i'm pretty sure this is the first year that the coconut palms that rami and larissa planted have fruited in the 4 or so that i have lived in the house, so this is a very satisfying drink. i sliced the refrigerated coconut open and got a yield of probably 400 ml of seriously refreshing water.

The Monster Under the Bed - Engine Box
And so on September 7 I would learn this lesson again: Never trust people who say 'everything will be fine' in a kind and nurturing voice at bedtime.
The hauling had been good. We all decided to take the boat to town as we all needed to be on that side for a couple of days("couple of days"= not a month). I'd had a couple of years of nervously gluing my eyes to the temperature gauge and worrying about the relentless advance of salt water on Detroit iron. Worrying for good reason, because parts failed, alarms went off in not-so-great conditions, shit happened.
I bought the boat 5 years short years ago. The motor and everything coming off it was severely rusted even at that time. I tried to scrape and paint every spring to make myself feel better, but I was always worried about the rust monster under the engine box. Kids on the boat? Engine monster, be nice. Rough weather? Please don't come out now, just stay under the bed. Really need to make this loan payment? Oh gods of the sea, salt and oxidation pass me by one more time.
Most of the time, those prayers were answered. Along the way I tried to learn to not be afraid, to not stress over broken things that needed fixing. It's just part of the job. I tried to train myself to take it in stride, to expect the malfunctions and not get stressed.
On this particular beautiful early September afternoon, the first since I redid the temperature gauge and the first since the late murky evening when we put in a call over the vhf saying we were having troubles and where we were, I was concentrating hard on being relaxed. The new mechanical temp gauge was reading normal, we had plenty of fuel and coolant, oil was good, business was good. I needed to stop believing in the monster under the bed and just enjoy the beautiful crossing.
But of course, it does not go this way. Two thirds of the way over Penobscot Bay, Megan and I, just like Obi Wan and Annakin Skywalker, both sensed the same disturbance in the force at the same time; probably because the disturbance in the force was loud and came from right under Megan's backside as she sat on the engine box. tstststststststststs!!!! She levitated- "what was that?!" I throttled back and gave up on trying to sooth my nervous system with deep breathing. It was an obvious unhappy sound.
Pulling off the engine cover and going down forward did not yield a diagnosis. There was a little smoke, which it seems like there often is. Oil is fine, Coolant is fine. Nothing is oozing, flapping or visibly distressed except me.
I restarted and moved slowly forward. It was a beautiful evening. Everything was normal at 5 knots. The problem there is that it would be several hours before we got into Rockland.
I called Art Stanley, the Yoda of Diesel. "Go slowly into harbor, you will. Seeing you at 6:30 tomorrow I am."
The next morning, Art quickly located the malfunction, namely a rust hole through the supposedly bulletproof Cummins 210 cylinder head. Not something one can fix with muffler tape or Bondo. This is more in the nature of dismantling the engine, 3 weeks of down time and a four page list of replacement parts.
The next 3 weeks went by in suspended animation. I called to check on progress of locating and shipping and picking up parts. Michelle and Art did everything they could to find these rare sculpted items in cast iron and go pick them up on a Friday evening if necessary.
Finally, it was time to go back into the water on a particularly snotty, gray air, green wave, whitecap, white knuckle, red eye, stomach knotting sort of day. Isn't this fun?! Yes, it is, because MY boat is back in the water. Fuck yeah!
It would take a few more days to actually find the weather and schedule window to get back to Matinicus.
When we got back, I was looking for a fleece hat, but the clothes in the laundry basket consisted of tank tops and shorts. Abrupt climate change occurred while we were gone.
Now we're looking forward to hauling pots with a few days of gentle weather.
The monster is now back under the engine cover, but also is shiny and painted up in a cheerful color.
Extra bit: Matinicus is the kind of place you can install your own gas stove, check for leaks the way one friend taught you, pull it back from the wall to find the tiny little oven and broiler valve that explains why the range worked and the stove didn't, then fire the thing up to only watch it catch fire, take the bottom of the oven apart to find that part of the manual slipped down into the oven burner and charred itself, put the works back together and have it work just fine. If I didn't figure it out, Clayton or Paul would have got me pointed in the right direction.

The alleged spot-fixing trial, involving Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif at Southwark Crown Court, has entered another operative phase with the first witness, the ICC's chief investigator Ravi Sawani, being called. Before this the jury was shown video footage of the now infamous no-balls during the Lord's Test last year and also records of phone and text conversations.
Aftab Jafferjee QC, for the prosecution, resumed his opening address from the previous afternoon and went on to detail an alleged corrupt relationship between then Test captain Butt and his agent Mazhar Majeed. He finished off details of meetings, phone conversations and text messages surrounding The Oval Test against England last year, before moving on to details of the Lord's Test.
The jury was shown a replay of Mohammad Amir's no-ball from the first delivery of the third over before the proceedings were interrupted for lunch, and two more alleged pre-planned no-balls by Asif and Amir after the break. All sets of legal representatives had agreed previously that sound and commentary would not be played, presumably so as not to influence the jury's conclusion of the footage.
Butt and Asif are facing charges of conspiracy to cheat, and conspiracy to obtain and accept corrupt payments, following that Lord's Test in August last year when they allegedly conspired with Majeed, teenage fast bowler Amir and other people unknown to bowl pre-determined no-balls. Butt and Asif deny the charges.
They were exposed by the now defunct British tabloid the News of the World in an undercover sting operation. Majeed was filmed revealing when no-balls would be delivered by the bowlers. That footage from secret cameras was also played to the jury on Thursday morning.
After lunch the undercover News of the World journalist Mazhar Mahmood, otherwise known as 'the fake Sheikh' from the time he snared former England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, was to give his evidence. But because Jafferjee did not complete his opening until 15.28, there was no time for Mahmood and Ravi Sawani, the ICC's senior consultant in anti-corruption and security matters, was last to appear. Mahmood is now expected to appear on Monday as the case is adjourned until then.
Butt and Asif again sat through the proceedings in the dock, with Asif accompanied by Mr Khan from the national database of interpreters, while Butt sat two seats down from his former team-mate, wearing a brown velvet jacket, jeans and Adidas trainers.
An interesting aspect of the morning's account centred around conversations between Mahmood, referred to in court as 'the journalist' to avoid confusion with Majeed, and Majeed himself. Jafferjee told how Mahmood was expecting no-balls to be delivered that had been promised him as proof that would appease his fictitious backers in the Far East.
But Majeed said they could not be delivered on the third day as coach Waqar Younis had held a team meeting and ordered his bowlers to cut down on the extras after 32 had been allowed on the second day - six wides and five no-balls. Instead, the prosecution went on to explain, an alternative plan was hatched whereby Butt would bat out a maiden. That did not happen in the event.
Of further interest was the heavy phone and text traffic between Butt, Majeed and Amir leading up to the Lord's Test - Asif less so. In fact, Majeed called Amir at 1.27am at his hotel while he was sleeping, the morning before the match was due to begin, after having collected £140,000 from Mahmood for the promise of three pre-determined no-balls and future fixing, the jury heard.
All stories of phone and text traffic were substantiated with official records from phone companies that proved the dialogue between the various parties. Jafferjee then told how Amir messaged Majeed at 6.24am on the morning of the Lord's Test and said 'this is my friend's number in Pakistan, when you're done send them a message'.
Amir then made repeated calls to a number in Pakistan. Majeed later that morning made a call to a regular Indian number he had often phoned. The prosecution had already told of how Majeed boasted his betting contacts were in India.
But while the jury had been swamped with so much information and evidence of alleged corrupt dealings between the defendants, Jafferjee was clear in what he wanted them to remember the most. And that was the phone traffic between all four alleged conspirators on the evening before the third no-ball was delivered.
The sequence in Jafferjee's address that best supports this sentiment was the evening after a weather-affected first day at Lord's. The bet was for three pre-determined no-balls but bad light ended play for the day before the third no-ball could be bowled, the jury heard.
A series of "frenetic activity" on the phone between all four then takes place within a couple of hours of the match being called off for the day.
"It is an irresistible inference, say the prosecution, that between these four men, what is being sorted out is that third no-ball," Jafferjee told the court. "How will that now take place? The credibility staked - as well as money exchanged - is high. An arrangement for the next day is still not finalised.
"Why do we say that? Because when the journalist calls Majeed, it is plain that things are not finalised. More texts have to follow between them. Furthermore, that triangulation of calls has to be repeated, involving the three players and Majeed," which phone records in the hands of the jury apparently exhibit.
The prosecution also detailed the monies found in the players' rooms and on Majeed - whose wife had £500 of marked £50 notes from the News of the World found in her purse and a further £2,500 was found in his Aston Martin car.
Butt had the most cash in his room at the Regents Park Marriott Hotel when it was raided by police on the Saturday night of the Test - after Mahmood had alerted the police of his investigation. That cash included various currencies and totalled more than double the amount of cash that could be explained for through daily expenses - players received £114 a day in England, while Butt pocked a £250 weekly bonus for being captain.
Much of the money was found in a locked suitcase that Butt said belonged to his wife and for which he did not have the key. When it was opened they found a "large" amount of currency - some of which was in envelopes and some not. In total the stash included £14,003 in one spot, and £15,999 in various denominations in envelopes. There was also US$12,617, 24,300 of UAE dirhams, AUS$710, 26,015 Pakistani rupees, $350 Canadian, 440 South African rand - as well as four mobile phones.
Meanwhile, Sawani was in front of the jury for just over half an hour. His responses, while not very specific as to the case itself, will have left the the jury more familiar with the vast sums of money involved in the illegal cricket betting industry.
"One single legal betting company could generate £40 million for a one-day international," Sawani told the court, "For an India-Pakistan one-day international in Mumbai, you can have as much as $200 million bet in the illegal betting market in Mumbai and then (additionally) there are the cities around India, the UK, the South East (Asia) and Dubai."
Sawani told of the sinister underworld that exists in the illegal betting industry and said that accounts are settled the day after a bet is made and that there are no defaulters because "mafias are the enforcers".
The trial continues.

Tooth restoration using photopolymer materials
Tooth restoration using photopolymer materials
Recently, dentists have not used such a thing as "photopolymer filling". This is explained by the ultimate perfection of photopolymer materials of the latest generation, with the help of which the ideal and pristine tooth shape is completely restored, restored, and "built up". Thus, the goal of modern dentistry is not to "close up," but to recreate the tooth.
Now it is necessary that the tooth not only be painless, but also have a natural shape, be aesthetic, and participate in the chewing process. Of course, for a quality restoration, the dentist must have the necessary skills to work with photopolymer materials. As for the cost of photopolymers, a lot of factors affect it, but these materials cannot be cheap.

Obama's Tax Plan Is Really a Welfare Plan
Barack Obama's tax plan is the opposite of supply-side economics. He proposes to raise marginal rates for just about every federal tax. He also proposes a raft of tax credits that taxpayers can receive if they engage in various government-specified activities.
Moreover, the tax credits would mostly go to those who pay little or nothing in federal income taxes. His trick is to make the tax credits "refundable." Thus, if the tax credit is for $1,000, but the taxpayer would otherwise only pay $200 in taxes, the government would write a check to the taxpayer for $800. If the taxpayer pays nothing in federal income taxes, the government would pay him the whole $1,000.
Such credits are not tax cuts. Indeed, they should be called The New Tax Welfare. In effect, Mr. Obama is proposing to create or expand a slew of government spending programs that are disguised as tax credits. The spending on these programs is then subtracted from the total tax burden, in order to make the claim that his tax plan is a net tax cut overall.
On the tax side of the ledger, the details released by his campaign last week confirm what a President Obama has in mind for our most productive citizens. The top individual income tax rate, for example, would be increased by 13%, to 39.6%; the next-highest rate would be raised to 36%. The top rates on capital gains and dividends would rise by a third, to 20%
The Social Security payroll tax would be raised between 16% to 32% for families making over $250,000 a year. This means that the real returns these people get from their lifetime payments into the retirement program will be driven below 0%, according to my own previous research, which was published by the Cato Institute and elsewhere.
Mr. Obama also wants a permanent federal estate tax, with a top rate of 45%; his health-insurance plan includes a new payroll tax on employers; and he also contemplates several increases in the corporate income tax, including a new so-called windfall profits tax on oil companies.
Then there is the spending side of the ledger. Mr. Obama proposes a fully refundable Making Work Pay Tax Credit, which would have the government pay out $500 to each worker and $1,000 to couples -- reminiscent of George McGovern's 1972 election proposal for the government to send a $1,000 check to everyone.
His American Opportunity Tax Credit would provide a $4,000, fully refundable tax credit for college tuition expenses. His Mortgage Interest Tax Credit would provide a 10% credit -- refundable -- to offset mortgage interest payments for lower- and middle-income families. His Health Care Tax Credits, which the campaign says "will ensure that health insurance is available and affordable for all families," include "a new refundable 50 percent health tax credit on employee premiums paid by employers."
Currently existing tax credits would also become spending programs in the Obama tax program. The Savers Credit would be made fully refundable, and would be expanded, according to the campaign, "to match 50% of the first $1,000 of savings for families that earn under $75,000." The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit would be made refundable and expanded to allow "low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit on the first $6,000 of child care expenses."
The Earned Income Tax Credit is already refundable. Mr. Obama would expand it to "increase the number of working parents eligible for EITC benefits, increase the benefits available to noncustodial parents who fulfill their child support obligations, increase benefits for families with three or more children, and reduce the EITC marriage penalty, which hurts low-income families." In short, welfare spending is to be increased by paying more money out to low-income income tax filers.
The latest Congressional Budget Office data shows the bottom 40% of income earners already pays no income taxes. Indeed, they receive a net payment from the federal income tax system -- meaning from the taxpayers -- equal to 3.8% of all federal income taxes, because of the refundable tax credits under current law. The middle 20% of income earners, the true middle class, pays 4.4% of federal income taxes.
Overall, the bottom 60% of income earners pay less than 1% of federal income taxes on net. When "tax credits" primarily go to this group in the form of checks from the government (rather than a reduction in their tax burden) it is simply an abuse of the language to call the spending a tax cut.
Consequently, to say, as the campaign does say, that the candidate's tax plan is a tax cut on net -- and that it would limit taxes to 18.2% of GDP -- is grossly misleading. The Obama tax plan would sharply increase real taxes. It also would come nowhere near to paying for the massive increases in federal spending he has proposed, including the spending that is disguised in the form of refundable tax credits.

Rescue Ready
Do you feel like a competent diver? Are you ready for a new scuba diving challenge? If so, you can push your skill set to a whole different level by becoming a PADI Rescue Diver.
Serious Fun
Ask any PADI Rescue diver for feedback on their Rescue course and the same comments are continually made. They will tell you how rewarding they found the course, and how comfortable they personally feel as a diver after completing course.
The PADI Rescue Diver course empowers student divers with the confidence to deal with potential problems related to both themselves and other divers, both on the surface and underwater.
The PADI Rescue Diver Course
The Rescue course is scheduled over 3 days – although like any PADI course it is performance based so can sometimes run into a fourth day.
The course provides the student diver with an essential toolbox to combat every feasible rescue scenario a diver may encounter. As a PADI Rescue diver there are different techniques and strategies to approach, manage and handle any accidents that may occur.
Some of the situations and problem solving solutions that may arise on any dive include:
- Helping both tired and panic divers on the surface
- Helping distressed divers underwater (distressed diver situations include: panic diver, out of air diver, uncontrolled ascent, overcoming vertigo and overexerted diver)
- Searching for missing divers underwater using a variety of search patterns such as expanding square pattern and U-pattern (aided by compass navigation) and circular search pattern (aided by the use of a line and reel)
- Bringing an unresponsive diver to the surface
- Providing in water rescue breathing to the unresponsive diver on the surface
- Towing the unresponsive diver to safety
- Exiting the unresponsive diver onto the boat or the beach
- First aid for diving related injuries
- Administering Oxygen to a diver
Recently I conducted a rescue course with two students, Reece and Simon. When I first met the guys I immediately knew were ready for some action with their positive attitudes, which is a great asset to have when doing the rescue course.
We started with the Emergency First Responder course where we went through basic first aid training to give Reece and Simon techniques to help people in need. It was a good opportunity to get to know the guys and form a good rapport before getting into the full swing of the rescue course itself.
The Crystal Way
The next day we got started with knowledge development, covering topics such as the psychology of rescue, recognizing diver stress, being prepared for and responding to diver emergency and accident management. Once we prepared ourselves mentally we ventured to the swimming pool to begin our first practical exercises and scenarios.
Although not compulsory, practicing the rescue skills in the swimming pool in a perfect no-stress environment is ideal. This allows student divers to learn new skills in perfect conditions and hone those skills before entering open water.
Simon was keen to do the rescue course in a shorter time frame and skip the pool session as he was on a tighter schedule than Reece but I advised him of the benefits and importance of performing the skills in an ideal controlled environment.
Simon ended up taking that option and later said how glad he was that he completed the course over a longer time frame, feeling completely comfortable and competent by the end of the course.
Back To Basics
The following day we finished off the knowledge development, providing Reece and Simon with all the knowledge required to increase the chance of saving a diver's life. Following this classroom session Reece and Simon were shown how to navigate search patterns using a compass.
Navigating is definitely one of trickier skills to master as a diver, especially when you are under the stress of searching for a missing diver underwater, so practicing the expanding square and the U-pattern on the beach first was vital, and made mastering these search patterns underwater easier. They were then shown how to assemble the emergency oxygen equipment, and then give the opportunity to practice themselves.
As a rescue diver you are allowed to assemble the oxygen, however you need to become a certified oxygen provider to be able to administer the oxygen to a patient. The oxygen provider course is a great additional piece of training to become a well rounded rescue diver.
Keeping It Real
On the afternoon of the second day we ventured onto the dive boat to put into practice the skills my students had mastered the previous afternoon in our swimming pool. This time they would be performing these skills in the realistic environment of open water. Over the following 4 hours the students dealt with a number of rescue scenarios that randomly cropped up throughout the afternoon.
Most importantly we spent a lot of time practicing 4 skills that are essential to giving an unresponsive diver that extra chance of survival. These included searching for an unresponsive diver using the appropriate search pattern. Once the diver was located Reece and Simon had to safely bring the diver to the surface a lot of time was taken perfecting these skills. The following day things gets turned up a few notches and are made as realistic as possible during the final scenarios so it's important the students are ready for this.
The Final Test
On the final day, the boys passed their final written exam with flying colours. After lunch we went out on the boat for the in water examinations – Rescue course final scenarios. Simon and Reece where confident and well prepared to take on whatever was thrown at them but little did they know there was another enthusiastic PADI Instructor helping me – McKenzie, who took it upon himself to make the day that little bit more difficult for them.
Simon and Reece were quick to find this out when they had to rescue McKenzie, who was playing the role of a panicked diver on the surface. McKenzie was quick to spot out any faults that were made, such as approaching the panic diver too close from the front and let Reece and Simon know about it.
After a few of these encounters, the two boys were even more alert and prepared for the rest of the day's scenarios. They quickly learnt from their first mistake and few more were made. Simon and Reece were now prepared for anything, building on the previous two days of training and learning quickly from their little run in with McKenzie and hour earlier.
Reece and Simon performed just about all the skills required without flaw, apart from one little hiccup with the search pattern to find the missing diver. It's crucial to find a missing diver as soon as possible, but rushing a rescue mission means some mistakes will ultimately be made. This rushing caused Reece and Simon to navigate in slightly the wrong direction and miss the lost diver completely.
It is a common mistake in a rescue course, and can be combated by good communication and team work both before entering the water and while underwater.
Mission Accomplished
On their second attempt they did exactly those things in low visibility and managed to find the missing diver without problem. Once the missing diver was found they surfaced at a steady pace and transported the diver back to the boat while providing rescue breaths every five seconds. The final challenge of the whole scenario was climbing up the boat ladder with the unresponsive diver. They have 30 seconds to complete this difficult task in order to pass the final scenarios.
Both Reece and Simon managed this very well, although both where extremely relieved once it was over.
Sure enough on our return to Crystal a hard earned cold beer was in order. Three full days of mentally and physically draining learning and working contributed to mission accomplished. Reece and Simon where certified PADI Rescue divers and where very happy holding their beers in their hands. As they say in Australia, 'A hard earned thirst calls for a big cold beer'.
Go home, or Go Pro
Simon left on the night ferry that night to return home to Denmark. Reece took the next step and started his Divemaster course with Crystal.
The PADI Divemaster program is the first step to becoming a professional diver and Reece told me he felt well equipped after the Rescue course to begin the next step in his diving career and Go Pro.
Good luck Reece!

Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach Debuts Children's Specialty Center in Irvine with Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
On Wednesday, Jan. 18, Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach debuted the Children's Specialty Center – its newest pediatric outpatient center in Irvine – during an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony.
Responding to the health care needs of the community, the new Children's Specialty Center provides specialized pediatric care for infants, kids and teens in a range of specialties including orthopedics, pulmonology, neurology and gastroenterology – with ear, nose and throat specialists coming soon.
The specialties offered at the Children's Specialty Center are in significant demand for the Orange County community. With the new Children's Specialty Center, South Orange County families will have increased access to pediatric specialty care physicians close to home and in a reasonable amount of time.
Joined by the Orange County health care community, the ribbon cutting ceremony kicked off with remarks by Miller Children's Chief Executive Officer, John Bishop.
"We have an incredible team of specialists and are excited to bring that team to South Orange County families," says Bishop. "This Center is a result of more than two years of hard work and dedication to providing the best care possible for our patients and their families."
Several government officials representing the South Orange County community helped honor the grand opening of the Children's Specialty Center, with attendance from Jose S. Martinez, Field Representative for Assemblyman Steven Choi; David Taylor, Senior Field Representative for Assemblyman Matthew Harper; and Hannah Hess, District Representative for Congress Member Mimi Walters.
After the ribbon cutting, guests toured the new Center and exam rooms – each featuring unique ocean animal décor. Knowing a visit to the doctor can be scary, the new Center was made with kids in mind.
In addition to the five exam rooms, the Center includes a dedicated room for specialized procedures, like casting for broken bones and specialized ear, nose and throat treatments.
The Children's Specialty Center is the latest expansion of Miller Children's, which offers pediatric specialty care to families living throughout Los Angeles and Orange County.
Part of OC-based MemorialCare Health System, Miller Children's provides specialized pediatric care for children and young adults with conditions ranging from common to complex – as well as maternity care for expectant mothers – all under one roof. The MemorialCare Health System is the only Orange County health system to have a full-service children's hospital.
For more information about the Children's Specialty Center, visit MillerChildrens.org/Irvine.
Representing the office of U.S. Representative Mimi Walters CA-45, Hannah Hess, presents a certificate of recognition to John Bishop, CEO, Miller Children's, to honor the grand opening of the Children's Specialty Center in Irvine.

With an increasing awareness falling on how we can do a better job taking care of the environment, more and more people are trying to make smarter purchases. Making better choices, however, can sometimes be very difficult if you don't know where to look for the right kind of gift. This is especially difficult if you're buying for a child or for someone you don't know very well. Below are some helpful suggestions for what to look out for when buying great gifts that are sure to please, but still keep an eye out on the environment.
If you're looking to bring food to someone as a gift, either as part of a party offering, or because they need a little pick-me-up, the main thing to look for is whether or not it's local and whether or not it's organic. Organic foods contain less pesticides and are grown naturally, meaning they are less harmful to the land in which they are grown. Local foods cost less to transport to you, making them a much better choice in terms of keeping the environment safe. Plus, they usually taste better, since they don't have to be picked so early! If you have any questions about the nature of a food you'd like to buy, never hesitate to ask someone at the store. They should know where the food comes from and how it's grown. Keep in mind that the fresher the ingredients, the more you have to be careful about how you store the food. When in doubt, refridgerate!
Here's a hard one. You'll want to look for toys that are packaged in either only biodegradable material, or has minimal packaging. Whatever the toy is packaged in is just going to get thrown away, so it's best to make sure that this is at least something good for the environment, or that you buy the least damaging product. It's also a really good idea to try to buy toys that are also made out of material that can be recycled or will break down over time. Plastics pose the biggest problem, since they usually can do neither.
Soaps, perfumes, and lotions (oh my)
Some people have very sensitive skin, so you'll be doing them a favor by buying something environmentally friendly. Most products made in a way that is good for the earth are also often good for the skin, and will be the best option for people who can't use most products due to sensitivity. This is because these products have less toxins, less harsh chemicals, and are often based in plant matter. Aim for the safe stuff by making sure the base ingredients in all these products are both natural, as well as safe to use on skin. This is especially true of lotions and soaps, since the chances of them getting absorbed into the skin are very high. When it comes to taking care of the earth, also make sure to take some time to take care of yourself as well. Two birds, one stone!

Environmental Geology
There is now a greater interest in the environment than ever before and we face concerns about the environmental impacts of almost every aspect of our daily lives. Water, soil, air and the biological environment can all be changed dramatically by the activities of industrial societies like our own, not least through mechanisms which are controlled by essentially geological processes. Waste disposal, contamination of land by industry, the impacts of mining, water pollution and even air quality (t
Radiolarian micropalaeontology: extracting radiolaria from sediment
Professor Simon Haslett discusses extracting radiolarian microfossils from rocks and sediments. Radiolaria are marine single-celled organisms that possess a silica shell and are preserved in the fossil record. They can be collected from sediment accumulating on the sea-floor and retrieved through coring and extracted through sieving and chemical treatments. Radiolaria can be used in stratigraphy to date layers of rock and sediment through geological time, and also to reconstruct past environment

During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
We help caseworkers from more than 105 non-profit agencies in the Merrimack Valley to assist their clients with getting basic needed goods for their low-income clients.
We plan all year long to provide emergency, basic and seasonal goods to well qualified low income clients. More than 90% of the goods that fulfill wishes come from public donations as a direct result of our weekly e-newsletter of urgent wishes, the Wish Tree of Weekly Wishes . Join the Tree to find out what is needed!
Our founder spent several years visting agencies before starting the project. She went out and asked caseworkers what they needed for clients. She put these items into a database and called it the "Wish List". After several tries to find the right mechanism for how to most easily and efficiently get goods to the clients, the Wish List grew into the Wish Project with a large warehouse space. Space was one thing that was a universal limiting factor.
With space you can run a furniture depot, you can accept large off-season bulk donations and negotiate the best prices for buying goods in large quantities. Plus a large space means more room for volunteers to help process goods to help the needy.
Many needs are seasonal, city-wide and predictable (like backpacks in September and coats during the winter). So we run monthly service projects to funnel large quantities of goods to many agencies - right when they need them.
We coordinate the delivery of goods to clients through the case workers that know them best and "only what they need, when they need it." We are dedicated to the belief that individual clients in need are best served when served by the system. So we work along side all the agencies to provide goods in the most efficient way possible for the benefit of all; including government, faith-based, and private non-profit organizations.Most agencies are from the Greater Lowell and Lawrence area although we help out to Newburyport and up to Southern NH. The clients served include families, battered women, children, teens and single adults in shelter, children with AIDs, and new immigrants from more than 14 countries.
Most wishes are for furniture, home and baby goods. It is the volume of need that is staggering. From January to December of 2006 we have helped more than 17,000 clients get more than $560,000 worth of basic home and baby goods (at yard sale price estimates). More than 80% of clients are women and children

MAK - Museum for Applied Arts
Bentwood chairs by Thonet are still used in Viennese coffeehouses, and armchairs from the Middle Ages to the present day look absolutely inviting. Biedermeier sofas surprise with pink, green, yellow, or red colors, because the Biedermeier style, with its simple and clear shapes, is considered the cradle of design.
Glass, china, silver, and textiles of the highest quality and in unusual designs were produced at the Wiener Werkstätte, which was founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser. A hammered silver service by Hoffmann or a black and white vase will thrill not only lovers of art nouveau. In November 2012, the MAK show collection "Vienna 1900" was redesigned and dedicated in its entirety to the development of Viennese arts and crafts between 1890 and 1938. The exhibition rooms recount the story of the search for the modern style via the creation of a unique Viennese style to the confrontation of the Viennese style with the international style and ending with the National Socialists seizing power in Austria.
Also new is the MAK permanent collection Asia, which presents Chinese porcelain, Japanese lacquer work, Japanese wood cuts and Japanese coloring stencil plates. The MAK permanent collection Carpets was reorganized in spring 2014. And the new MAK Design Laboratory makes references between art and everyday life on almost 2,000 m² in the former "Collection of Studies" (Studiensammlung). Contemporary art by Donald Judd, James Turrell and others and 12 sofas by Franz West span the artistic range to the present day. Young, sophisticated design to take away can be found in the MAK Design Shop. After visiting the MAK Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, guests are welcome at its restaurant Salonplafond.

We already know who Jeb's dad is voting for. He apparently made it clear to a Kennedy daughter that he was voting for Hillary Clinton.
And we already know that the Bushes don't care much for Donald Trump. No one in the Bush family was able to make it to the Republican National Convention where Trump was officially nominated.
What's clear is that the Republican establishment – and it doesn't get more establishment than the Bush clan – are not fans of the Republican nominee. The Bushes have way more in common with their longtime friends in real life – but political opponents on TV – the Clintons than they do Donald Trump.
Perhaps it's a little too risky politically for Jeb to come out and endorse Hillary Clinton. He's still got a career ahead of him to worry about. He of course has family pressures to worry about as well.
Trending: Saturday Night Live Dings Obama – "Ebola Probably One of My Greatest Accomplishments!"
So, he's definitely not coming out for Trump. But he's not going the other direction either. A good compromise in his eyes is Gary Johnson.
According to the New York Daily News, Jeb Bush repeatedly suggested his support for Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson – perhaps half-way in jest – to a crowd at a private luncheon.
As one attendee recalled to the Daily News, "There was an old man talking to Jeb across the table and said, 'I can't bring myself to vote for Hillary and Trump,' and Jeb looked at him and mouthed the word 'Johnson,' silently."
In addition, during his speech, and according to audio obtained by the Daily News, Bush said, "If I did get a call several weeks after the election, what would I tell President Johnson — I mean, President whoever," to laughs from the audience.
A Bush spokesman neither confirmed nor denied the statements. "Nothing has changed since the Governor wrote (a Washington Post) op-ed a couple months ago saying he couldn't support Hillary or Trump," Kristy Campbell said. "He has said he would consider voting for the Libertarian ticket. No decision/update though."

Have you thought about how important music education can be? To be honest, a lot of people don't think comprehensive music education is overly important as they think it's easy enough to learn. While itcan be a fairly simple thing to learn about, it's not always something you taketoo very easily. It's maybe time to think about how important education can bewhen it comes to music and how much it can help to start learning.
Learning from an Early Age Is an Advantage
Music education is important whether you have planned a career in music or just have a passion for it. However, there are some who can really benefit from comprehensive education from a very early age. Why does it matter? Well, it's down to how well the brain and mind can absorb what it's being told and how easy it find it to absorb the teachings as well. Sometimes, learning from an early age can allow you to progress faster in later life. It can be a very smart idea to learn early and while it's not always a necessity, it's sometimes an advantage to say the least.
Good Education Can Enhance Chance for Success
When you are interested in becoming a musician or just learning to play music, you need to understand that the better the education you have in this field, the more likely you are to succeed. Why does it matter? You have the skills you need and you can continue to build on those skills and become a better musician. This is why there is a real need for comprehensive music education and it's something which is often sidestepped. However, if you want to succeed, you can find it's a smart idea to look towards getting good education behind you.
Learn How You Feel Most Comfortable With
Sometimes, good comprehensive music education can help those who have a passion for music but it's also important to learn in a manner that you find best. For instance, if you feel you are best learning by practicing every single day rather than sitting in a classroom and learning the theory side of things that might be better for you. It's important to find a way to learn which is more effective and practical for you at the same time. You have to find a learning outlet that is effective for you and there are lots of simple ways to learn as well.
Understanding Music
Music education is a very important concept for millions and yet far too many people don't get the type of education that is needed. It's frustrating and tragic but no matter what age you learn from, you can become a great musician. Comprehensive music education can be a real advantage no matter who you are or what level you wish to reach either. It's important for you to get a good education under your belt so that you can enjoy music more as you learn. Love music and find your best outlet to learn and you will find it more enjoyable.

Those of you who've been anxiously awaiting the launch of Samsung's sweetest smartphone may have a few new names to memorize. Before any carrier announcement, retailer Wireless Xcessories Group leaked the new names of our beloved Galaxy S II in a phone case listing. According to WXG's page, the Android 2.3 Gingerbread-powered smartphone will roll out as the Samsung Galaxy S II Attain for AT&T, the Function for Verizon Wireless, and the Within for Sprint. Apparently, T-Mobile's invitation got lost in the mail.
Interestingly enough, the case advertised on WXG's site seems to be available for all three versions of the phone, which means that they make look pretty similar. If so, the Galaxy S predecessor will be taking its own path, as the original Galaxy S build seemed to differ a bit between domestic carriers. Either way, now that we have some names to dote over, the real question is when the Attain, Function, and Within will hit American shelves.

Factory: Exbor, Novy Bor
Designers: Stanislav Honzík & Josef Rozínek
Date of design: c1960
Produced: 1960s
This appealing cockerel was made in a similar manner and with identical colours to those used for Exbor's celebrated range of stylised fish sculptures. Highly acclaimed, these were designed by Honzík and Rozínek after they were inspired by a series of animal sculptures produced by eminent designer Vera Lisková (1924-85) for Moser during the 1950s, and exhibited at the International Exposition in Brussels in 1958. It is likely that this extremely rare cockerel sculpture was designed by them and produced as an extended part of this range, although it does not feature in Czechoslovak Glass Review, and has not yet been found in any catalogues. Another one example, in a private collection, has a more flamboyant tail which this example does not.
All sculptures from this range are cased in vibrant colours, with the green and amber here being a particularly postwar Czech combination. The stylisation, brought about by hand-forming the glass when still hot, and by the later cutting and polishing, is also typical. The solidity of the form and implied stance convey the dominant, proud character of a cockerel. The base is marked with the Exbor acid stamp indicating, like the range of fish, it was intended for export to the West.
8.5in (21.5cm) high.
About The Designers
Stanislav Honzík (1926-98) was a notable glass cutter at Novy Bor, whose career spanned working for Moser (1943-45) and Borské Sklo (1954-60), as well as teaching at a number of important glass schools. He cut for the Czech Fund of Fine Arts from 1971-87, before working as as independent glass artist. Josef Rozínek (1911-92) was an experienced glassmaker, and a keen angler. He was notable as he was responsible for producing many of the unique art glass works displayed at major international expositions and exhibitions including those at Brussels, Milan, and New York.

DHS, AID & DWS Announce Health Care Landscape Study to Strengthen Health Care Coverage in Arkansas
Amy Webb
Chief Communications & Community Engagement Officer
501-682-8946 desk
501-837-8199 mobile
Public Meetings Set to Begin on Study of Health Care Landscape in Arkansas
A series of public meetings designed to help the State assess the health care coverage landscape in Arkansas and determine ways to strengthen it will begin in late November, the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS), the Arkansas Insurance Department (AID) and the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services (DWS) announced Monday.
The public meetings follow an announcement in October by DHS, AID and DWS that the agencies will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the state's overall health care coverage landscape. The assessment builds on a requirement in the Arkansas Works law that the agencies analyze the small business insurance market in Arkansas. Leavitt Partners, LLC in partnership with Health Management Associates, are assisting with the assessment.The assessment will include surveys, focus groups and gathering data related to insurance and Medicaid.
The goal of this assessment is to develop policy options that address issues identified during the research and data gathering phase of the assessment, including making specific recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature. The focus of the recommendations will be on programmatic and regulatory changes the state can make to: (1) strengthen the small group private insurance market; (2) improve the large group private insurance market; and (3) promote long-term sustainability of Medicaid.
All workgroup meetings are open to the public and will be held from 9 to 11 a.m.at the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service auditorium at 2301 S University Ave, Little Rock, AR 72204 on the following dates:
Tuesday, November 28, 2017
Tuesday, December 19, 2017

Welcome to the last installment of FSSAI News for the January month. FSSAI has always been particular about each and every aspect of food safety in different parameters. Likewise, there have been two issues longing for strict actions and regulations.
Let us have a look at the FSSAI News for the week.
FSSAI NEWS 1. FSSAI to mandate Food Safety License for prasadam in all Kerala temples from March 2019
BHOG (Blissful Hygienic Offering to God) project got launched in 2017 which is executed by FSSAI in order to maintain food safety in the temples. According to this project requirement, FSSAI has mandated all the temples to get FSSAI license for the preparations of prasadams in temples.
The Food Safety department will train people who prepare food in temples and who sell edible items near temple premises. So far, three states – Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have already implemented the project.
In Kerala, the food safety department will hold discussions with the Guruvayoor Devaswom, Travancore Devaswom Board, Kochi Devaswom Board and Malabar Devaswom board regarding implementation of the project.
As per the guidelines of FSSAI, temple prasadams offered by Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the state government will have expiry dates printed on the containers to indicate for how long they can be consumed safely.
As many as 300 food handlers from 20 big temples in Tamil Nadu were trained at a workshop on food safety and hygiene, as part of the BHOG project in New Delhi in 2018
FSSAI NEWS 2. Saudi Arabia refuses to lift the ban on the fruits imported from Kerala
Exporters of fruits and vegetables from Kerala have appealed to the Union government seeking help in Saudi Arabia lifting the ban on imports of fruits and vegetables from the southern Indian state. The ban was imposed by the Gulf state about eight months ago due to Nipah virus outbreak.
Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus (it is transmitted from animals to humans) and can also be transmitted through contaminated food or directly between people. In infected people, it causes a range of illnesses from asymptomatic (subclinical) infection to acute respiratory illness and fatal encephalitis.
Farmers and exporters have incurred a huge amount of losses as Saudi Arabia is one of the major export markets for fruits and vegetables from Kerala, which also offers good remuneration for the produce.
FSSAI NEWS 3. FSSAI will soon formulate new packaging regulations
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had recently notified the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging) Regulations, 2018 ("Regulations"), on 03 January 2019 which aim to restrict and regulate the use of materials of packaging of food products by Food Business Operators. Loose packaging such as coloured and black carry bags, disposable containers with aluminum coating and sweet boxes have emerged as major contaminants of packaged food, prompting the food regulator to come up with new regulation on food packaging.
Around 80% of food samples packed in coloured carry bags, 59% in black carry bags and over 24% in aluminium coated disposable containers and 21% in sweet boxes were found chemically contaminated, findings of a national survey of food packaging material conducted by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) shows.
In order to curb the menace, the regulator is set to notify new regulations for food packaging which will prohibit packaging material made of recycled plastic.
That's all for the week. To keep knowing our FSSAI Updates, subscribe on the following links.

Surprise, Diablo III sold to the moon and back since its release last week on Tuesday, May 15, says developer/publisher Blizzard in so many words. In fact the company says more than 3.5 million people picked up a copy of its action-roleplaying trilogy closer during the game's first 24 hours on sale, which would make it the fastest selling PC game of all time (based on Blizzard's internal sales data and reports from "key distribution partners").
What's more, Blizzard says the 3.5 million figure doesn't include over 1.2 million additional players who received a copy of Diablo III in trade for signing up to play World of Warcraft for a year. Add the two figures together and you get 4.7 million global Diablo III players out of the chute. And if you do the math for the first week's sales, Blizzard says the figure shoots up to more than 6.3 million players. That's well over half as many total World of Warcraft subscribers (around 10 million subscribers in November 2011). What can you say? The power of Blizzard.
(MORE: 'Diablo III' and Always-Online Gaming: Bad for Us and Here to Stay?)
Blizzard says it launched Diablo III at over 8,000 retailers in the U.S., Canada, Europe, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, as well as Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. The game was also available as a digital download direct from Blizzard in all of the above regions plus Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Brazil (several additional Latin American countries along with Russia will see the game hit shelves on June 7). Blizzard adds that the above sales figures don't include players in Korean Internet game rooms, where it says Diablo III "has become the top-played game, achieving a record share of more than 39% as of May 22." Furthermore, it notes that the game has been "fully localized into Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, European Spanish, Italian, Polish, Russian, Korean, and traditional Chinese."
GameStop calls it "one of [the company's] biggest PC launches ever," while Amazon says it broke the site's record for "most preordered PC game of all-time on Amazon.com" as well as "best day-one sales for any PC game ever on Amazon.com."
What of the Battle.net launch issues? Blizzard's not playing coy, expressing candid regret "that [its] preparations were not enough to ensure everyone had a seamless experience" when the game went live. I was on vacation most of last week, then battling laptop performance issues with the game when I returned on Saturday, so I didn't really dive in until Monday evening (after building a new high-end desktop — anyone want to wager new PC sales are up, too?). So far, I've only experienced a few minor bugs, e.g. random multiplayer-like lagging, i.e. screen jumping, in single-player mode, and an Auction House glitch where an item I put up for sale wasn't removed from my inventory, thus allowing me to sell it twice: once through the AH, once to an in-game merchant.
While I'm a little concerned about the game's easiness on "Normal" mode, I'm cautiously optimistic about the character build and cooperative play possibilities as I move into the 20s, level-wise, on my (not patient) way toward unlocking "Nightmare."

text: Paul dabbled in every role the hospitality industry has to offer before settling behind the stick – dish pig, silver service, sommelier (ok, wine waiter), line cook, actual waiter, stock control and more. Aged 20, after a chance encounter with Ged and a bottle of Jager, Paul joined Leelex and was tasked with bringing Oporto into the brave new world of late licenses. The aim was simple – great tunes, cold beer and closetothebone banter. Slowly, the bar at Oporto ate the restaurant, and 17 years later it's still going strong. Paul always treated Oporto as his own, so when Ged invited him to become a shareholder, it was a nobrainer. A partnership was born, and so followed Jake's Bar, Portobello Star, Neon Cactus, Portobello Road Gin and most recently Cielo Blanco, On school, Paul says he was there 'more often than not', a stint at art college 'doesn't really count', and his birthplace of Wakefield is 'not something we talk about much'. His experience includes JW Johnsons (Manchester's first proper cocktail bar, sadly since closed), Teatro Members Club (a member's bar with not many members), Bingley Arms (the oldest pub in England), and all the Leelex venues. It's Oporto, though, that Paul describes as 'still the single greatest bar I've ever worked in, untouchable for sheer, unadulterated, party times.' His greatest achievement? 'Paying my old man back his investment in me' and apparently, Paul Lane is still 20 years old. Who knew?

Expanding the Scope of the EuP Directive
This report is the documentation from the project "Expanding the Scope of the EuP Directive", financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers for the Environment. The project was kick-started by the adoption the ErP Directive (Directive 2009/125/EC). The recast means that Energy-related Products now are included in the scope of the. With this expansion of the scope to energy related products, focus is put on interesting issues, which have already been discussed in relation to Sustainable Consumption and Production in the EU. This concern: How can a common information platform be ensured, which can feed the setting of requirements for both energy- and eco-labelling, green procurement guidelines and performance requirements in for instance the ErP Directive? How is an optimal synergy between the minimum performance requirements in the ErP Directive, the energy labelling of all products and incentives for front-runner companies through eco-labels? The aim of this project was to organise a Workshop on Ecodesign and Resource Efficiency. The intention was to bring leading experts and other interested stakeholders together to discuss these issues. The Nordic perspective of the conference should be a common understanding of (1) how the ErP Directive and especially the Implementing measures could be changed to include more environmental requirements than just energy efficiency, (2) how the different ecodesign directives can supplement each other, (3) how a common information platform for IPP instruments can be realised and (4) how a synergy between minimum performance standards and energy- and ecolabels can be established.

I am using Gamex as my FE so I mapped keys (pg up, down, home, enter...) using the keywiz to make navigaing the screen easier. The setup is two 8 way joysticks w/six buttons each (I originally set the cab up mainly to play street fighter), one 4 way, trackball, and spinner. I have usb ports mounted under the CP. I have yet to get some side art, any recommendations on where to get it would be great.
