ROSSLYN, Va. - The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has taken a position advocating direct adoption of the latest edition of the National Electrical Code by governmental agencies. The association's new policy is being communicated directly to the International Code Council (ICC) and is intended to clarify the association's position in a contentious debate between the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the ICC.
In the most recent development, NFPA announced that it was moving forward in the development of NFPA's Consensus Code - a full set of codes for existing buildings. That announcement followed on the heels of one by the ICC saying that it was not able to meet an NFPA-imposed deadline to respond to its final offer to partner with ICC in the development of a single family of comprehensive and coordinated model codes and regulations. In 1999, the ICC published an electrical code that was ostensibly an administrative document describing how a jurisdiction adopts, implements, and enforces an electrical code. The document contained prescriptive requirements, however, and thus was viewed by critics as a challenge to the NEC. Prior to that, in 1997, the ICC and NFPA attempted to work together to develop a joint fire prevention code. The working arrangement disintegrated due to differences over who should participate in the development.
NEMA has traditionally been involved in the development of the NEC, believing that electrical installation and inspection laws should protect the public from personal and property hazards and that adoption of the code by local governments was the best way to achieve that goal.
The NEC is developed through an ANSI-recognized consensus process whereby all interested parties have an opportunity to contribute to and vote on the document. The ICC process under which the ICC Electrical Code is developed, allows the opportunity to submit proposals and comments, but does not as a matter of course include manufacturers, users, enforcers, installers, utilities, testing labs, and electrical workers.
In the rationale presented to the NEMA Board of Governors prior to its action on the matter, NEMA President Malcolm O'Hagan said, "Having two different electrical codes could (1) lead to confusion concerning installation and enforcement requirements which can create safety issues; (2) force organizations to expend additional resources to participate in the development of multiple codes; and (3) in the worst case, force manufacturers to maintain multiple product lines if uniform product requirements are not adopted nationwide."
The board action aside, it seems certain that there will be at least two building code, one issued by the ICC and issued by the NFPA. NEMA will continue to submit proposals and comments on the ICC Electrical Code and participate in public hearings as appropriate, but ICC rules currently preclude NEMA direct involvement in ICC code development.
NFPA has enlisted the Western Fire Chiefs Association and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials to participate in its proposed Consensus Codes. As part of that project, NFPA is developing the NFPA Building Code, a draft of which will be made available on the Internet at buildingcode.nfpa.org.
The NFPA Building Code project (NFPA 5000) includes a committee structure consisting of a new building-code technical correlating committee that will have responsibility for the development and release of NFPA 5000 and will oversee the activities of a number of technical committees.
According to NEMA, the correlating committee's scope will "have primary responsibility for documents or portions of documents on the design and construction of every building or structure, including structural design methods and techniques, as well as the design of integrated building systems for health, safety, comfort and convenience."

New restrictions on powder-like substances in cabin luggage for US and Australia/New Zealand flights
Latest update: 27 Jun 2018 17:30 HKT (GMT+8)
With effect from 30th June 2018, the United States of America Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs, and the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority, have introduced new security restrictions on the carriage of certain types of powders into the cabin of an aircraft.
Flights departing to the USA
Passengers are permitted to carry less than 12oz (350ml) of powder-like substances (for example: flour, sugar, ground coffee, spices) in the cabin of aircraft flying to the United States. Passengers will undergo additional security checks at the boarding gate in Hong Kong before departure (or Vancouver for passengers travelling on CX888 to New York).
Items excluded from the less than 12oz (350ml) restriction include baby formula, medication and human remains. Duty-free powders are also excluded when contained inside of a properly sealed Secure Tamper Evident Bag.
Flights departing from Australia/New Zealand
Passengers are permitted to carry a maximum of 12oz (350ml) of inorganic powders (for example: salt, sand, talcum powder and some types of make-up) in the cabin of aircraft flying from Australia/New Zealand. Passengers should remove and separate powders, liquids, aerosols and gels from their cabin baggage and place them separately in a tray for x-ray examination at security screening point when departing Australia/New Zealand.
Items excluded from the 12oz (350ml) restriction include baby products used to care for and/or feed an infant/toddler, medical/therapeutic products and cremated remains. Duty-free powders are also excluded when contained inside of a sealed bag with proof of purchase attached.
Passengers with quantities of powder over the limitation
Passengers with quantities of powder that exceed the limitation are suggested to place these items into your checked baggage. Any excessive quantities of powder intercepted during security screening will be required to be surrendered and be disposed of by the security screening officers.

INTERVIEW | Johnny Johansson by Interview Mag.
Got a spare five minutes? Paige Powell from interview magazine can take you with her in a lovely conversation with Acne's creative director Jonny Johansson. Personally I love the last part where he talks about the energy that is left over from a collection that is poured into the Acne magazine. But that probably has to do with my obsessive addiction to magazines.
Johansson and three colleagues started the creative collective-and future lifestyle label-in Stockholm in 1996 with the dream of dipping their hands into every possible pocket of art and culture (the name is an acronym for Ambition to Create Novel Expressions). After they unleashed 100 pairs of unisex jeans on friends, family, and clients one year later, the ACNE denim rush was on.

Interview Magazine
By Paige Powell
Image Matches fashion
PAIGE POWELL: You've really become something of an impresario, with your film company, jeans, men's and women's lines, even children's toys. Now I hear you will be doing furniture.
JONNY JOHANSSON: We are. For me it was about experimenting, about seeing if there was anything in furniture design that was connected to our work in fashion. Furniture design in the 1920s and '30s in Sweden has always interested me. Abroad they called the style "Swedish gray," but the genre was really neoclassicism. It was around the time when modernism and the Bauhaus were getting stronger. But this neoclassicism was actually doing modern things too, as well as looking back at history. That's a little bit of what ACNE is doing today. We do -respect history and we try to do something modern and new. We aren't like the Bauhaus, saying, "No, I don't like what history is giving." I'm generalizing of course. But when people ask me about being Swedish, or if there is something I feel connected to, neoclassicism is the thing I bring up.
PP: Do you play any instruments?
JJ: I play guitar.
PP: Are you in a band?
JJ: I was in several bands during my younger, student years. It was all about being in a band. I was more focused on the self-expression part than my musical output-what I was wearing, how the poster was looking, or how the stage was set up, things like that.
PP: What were the bands that you played in called?
JJ: I had so many. I had one that was called Violet.
PP: Did you play bass?
JJ: No. Initially I wanted to stand in the front, so I was playing guitar or singing or both.
PP: Are there any artists that you feel influenced by?
JJ: When we started, we liked the whole Andy Warhol liberation of art and commerciality. That was liberating for me, finding a path I wanted to go down. We used the Factory quite frequently as a reference in 1996 when we started, and I bought a lot of old Interview magazines. I still have a nice collection. So that was one reference. I like Keith Haring. I recently saw a documentary on him, and I was reminded of how nice he was as a person.
PP: Did you meet him?
JJ: Never. I went to his store, Pop Shop, on Lafayette Street in New York when they had a show of his, but I was too young to dare to . . . I've never been a person who seeks out my idols. I think I'm an idol myself.
PP: Do you have a social life?
JJ: [laughs] To be honest, my social life is my work. It's quite boring to say, but I meet a lot of people, and we have people from different creative disciplines. I enjoy life right now, and I enjoy work.
PP: That's what Andy always said. Work should be fun, and fun should be work. Do you drive a car?
JJ: Yes.
PP: Do you have a Volvo?
JJ: No. [laughs]
PP: I have a Volvo, a 1996 wagon with a turbo engine. Most of the people in my family have Volvos.
JJ: Well, keep it up! You're saving the country. I drive a Mini, to be honest. It's like driving a go-kart. Mine is in British Racing Green Metallic, but it's a convertible with white rims. They're so easy to park, and it doesn't use much petrol, either.
PP: Do you ever go up to reindeer country?
JJ: I am from reindeer country. I am even from beyond there. I grew up in a place called Umeå. It's an eight-hour drive north of Stockholm. I am really from a small town.
PP: Why is Swedish craftsmanship so extraordinary? Everything Swedes touch is harmonious. Your tailoring, for example, is so impeccable. I know this is a cliché, but it seems to be an innate Swedish quality.
JJ: There's a lot of craftsmanship, if you look back in the history. We have H&M and Ikea, but design-wise I think we're also . . . not minimal, but a bit functional. We have something called lagom, which means "just in the middle." We like to be in the middle. [laughs] I don't know how to explain it.
PP: Is that because it's practically a socialist country?
JJ: Probably, yes.
PP: The Swedish government must just love you.
JJ: I don't know. But the princess did come to visit me.
PP: When do you get to the office in the morning?
JJ: Around nine or ten. I actually walk to work, past City Hall, which is a big inspiration for me because Ragnar Östberg, the architect, was from the neoclassic period. He was into nationalism in architecture, so there is a lot of Viking inspiration mixed with Italian piazza and Swedish modernism. I always find something new every time I go past. Then I go over the canal to work. We're in the old part of Stockholm, from the 16th century, so we have a really old building. Our showroom is in a big ballroom. We have a manager named Magnus at the office. So you walk past Magnus and say hello, and he is decorating-he decorates and he takes care of us at the same time. You find different decorations in different corners of the office. He did a lot of sculptures with these paper cones that you pour perfume with.
PP: It's your office manager making sculptures?
JJ: Yes.
PP: So everybody is really creative at ACNE, no matter what their job is supposed to be.
JJ: Yes. I work mainly with the fashion part. I don't like
to sit so much. I basically run around. I visit different people in town and talk to artists.
PP: Are you a collector?
JJ: I am. I love people who collect. I don't know why.
PP: Do you collect people?
JJ: I collect people's experiences. I feel that I build myself not only on my experience, but on other people's. That's important to me. I like to work with people who are better at what they do than I am. I like to work with people who are willing to share.
PP: Do you also collect old guitars?
JJ: do. One of my best friends has the biggest collection of guitars. He plays guitar in the band the Cardigans. I have a small one. But I have a guitar in the office all the time. I change it every month.
PP: What guitar do you have in there now?
JJ: Now I have a Fender Jaguar from 1965. It's black, a custom color, and was made pre-CBS, -before CBS bought Fender.
PP: What do you do at the office?
JJ: Every day I work with shapes and silhouettes. I jump around different departments. One department is doing shoes, another does menswear, another jeans.
PP: I love your children's toys, especially the stuffed-animal bear. The toy factory is in the same building, right?
JJ: Yes, we have five stories. We have a whole building, quite swollen. It's an old bank.
PP: Do you wear ACNE clothes to work?
JJ: The more I work in fashion, the less I dress up. The first pair of jeans I made was for my own body-my "strange body," as I call it.
PP: This collaboration with Alber Elbaz and Lanvin is a cool match.
JJ: It's such a trip, to be honest, to work with somebody I admire. The first collection for Spring-Summer 2009 is all about being dramatic. We found a female bullfighter, the first woman accepted in the ring to do a man's job. We found that so intriguing we started to play with it. We tried to borrow from old bullfighting costumes. I also met with Madame Wang.
PP: She's the owner of Lanvin now and the one who brought on Alber.
JJ: She's smart. Their relationship feels very close. When I asked her if she'd been to Sweden, she said, "Yes, I went with a friend to the Nobel Prize -Ceremony," and I was like, "Whoa."
PP: We haven't mentioned the fact that you have your own magazine, Acne Paper.
JJ: It's our crown jewel. It actually started with a stylist friend of mine, whom I always work with: Mattias Karlsson. He's one of the most important persons for me. I met Thomas Persson through him. We met at a party and started talking. I needed help with some press releases. He wrote one, and I was just blown away. He said, "Well, why don't we do a magazine?" I was like, "Okay, in that case we'll do a real magazine." We said, "Let's try to work with the best, let's do what we want, let's show what we talk about every time we do a collection and what we talk about during the creative process that's never shown in the clothing." Because there's a lot of energy left over. And maybe most important, "Let's go out and try to connect with people."

A just claim or title, whether legal, prescriptive, or moral: You have a right to say what you please
A benefit, immunity, etc., granted under certain conditions
Clearly, there are many similarities, but I'll explain what I see as the fundamental difference. Namely, a "right" is something you enjoy as long as you don't do something to cause reasonable curtailment of it. The classic example is "yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater." On the other hand, a "privilege" is usually something you get when you fulfill the reasonably related preconditions. For example, taking a driving test, not being blind, and being able to show financial responsibility are usually considered to be "reasonable" preconditions to be able to drive. In other words, you do not have to do anything to enjoy free speech, but you are not allowed to simply drive a motor vehicle without satisfying some preconditions. Usually, driving a more dangerous vehicle adds restrictions – a heavy truck driver needs to know extra stuff to bring the risk to others down. Just as your right to free speech can be curtailed due to abuse, your privilege to drive can be curtailed due to abuse. If you habitually crash into people or "hit and run," people can and do suffer sanctions, just as if they misuse their right to bear arms or misuse their free speech right to libel others.
Until motor vehicles, nobody got licensed to operate vehicles. You didn't get an "equestrian license" or a "cycling license." It isn't that government never tried to regulate such things, but the courts took a dim view of curtailments on a "right to travel." It was presumed that all people had opportunity to travel the public roads without unreasonable constraint. The Constitution's "Commerce Clause" extended this to include unfettered movement between the states. This all changed with the advent of the motor vehicle. Why did the courts change course? Until the advent of motor vehicles, no transport arose that used the public roads (railroads travelled on privately owned tracks) and also presented a unique danger to other road users due to a combination of very high speed and very high mass. Because of the danger, the courts felt it was reasonable to treat motor vehicle operation as a privilege. You should note that the word "privilege" shouldn't be considered as some "special favor" from the government. In reality, if you fulfill reasonable conditions and don't abuse them, you DO get to drive. In that way, driving IS like a right. In truth, the only way it differs from things like the right to free speech is you have to fulfill reasonable conditions first.
Well, personally, I'm not an advocate. However, I know DARN sure that I will not vote for people that want to unreasonably restrict my ability to travel. That INCLUDES choices that make it impossible for me to get places unless I spend money. That INCLUDES restrictions on motor vehicle users that are unrelated to keeping them from killing others. Can you say "click it or ticket?" I really can't support restrictions on my motorists under the cloak of their driving "privilege" except where those restrictions directly relate to the safety of those in danger as a RESULT of poor or irresponsible motor vehicle operation.

In 2012, a shocking number of enterprises will slink away from Oracle into the arms of competitors Red Hat and SUSE, new market research finds. This comes even though Oracle has its own flavor of Linux that is basically a copy of Red Hat's.
Worse, this is a part of a bigger trend to move away from Oracle's most important product, its database, says Jay Lyman, an open source analyst for market research firm The 451 Group told Business Insider.
"Oracle is still strong but the challenge from Linux is growing," says Lyman.
Oracle has tens of thousands of customers of Solaris, a version of Unix, the go-to operating system in the 1990s and 2000s for powerful or highly technical uses including databases.
Over the past few years, many of those users are leaving Solaris (and other forms of Unix) and going to Linux, which has proven to be equally capable and a whole lot cheaper. When they do, they are more likely to start using new high-performing open source databases, known as NoSQL, Hadoop and Casandra, Lyman says.
In a survey of 165 IT professionals done by The 451 Group, 67% were planning to spend more money with Red Hat for servers that run their databases and only 6% plan to spend less. Meanwhile, 55% plan to spend less with Oracle and only 9% will spend more for either Oracle's Linux or Solaris in 2012.
Lyman points out that this same trend will also affect IBM and Hewlett-Packard.
Oracle inherited its Unix operating system when it bought Sun Microsystems in 2009 for $7.4 billion. But Oracle thought it was fixing the problem of users ditching Unix for Linux when it created a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is a perfectly legit thing to do. RHEL is itself an open source flavor of Linux.
But in Oracle's typical marketing flamboyance, it called its version of RHEL "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" indicating that its Linux was more reliable and performed faster. In 2010 Oracle tried again. It made another splashy introduction of another version of Unbreakable Linux. This version of Linux was designed to work especially well with its database, with Oracle saying it was 75 to 200 percent faster.
But the 451 Group's research indicates that so far, enterprises aren't buying it.
Oracle has been asked for comment.

Jersey Shore: The Tangled Web We Weave
[There was a video here]
Oh the harm that can befall a guidette during the greatest sociological experiment of our time. Sure she can't be sullied by reputation, but there are still horrible fates than can befall her, like the intractable tangle of her weave. And that was just the start of last night's disasters.
Poor Deena, wracked with heaving sobs at the loss of her "soul" Vinny, she ended up overcompensating and wound up with her weave in a horrible bundle. When she first heard the news of Vinny's departure, JWOWW, the group's surrogate mother, had to comfort her. Later, as it so often does, the guido's grief turned into a celebration and when Deena and Snooki got home from a day-long bender, Deena's weave was knotted and mangled and practically pulling out her real hair.
There is no specific reason this happens to a guidette. In fact a combination of dancing too hard, falling on the ground, spilling drinks, and sweating would cause anyone's weave to become a knotted mess. It's just that most people wouldn't engage in all these behaviors at once. Of course, it is up to JMOMM (That's JWOWW upside down) to help Deena get all the tracks out of her hair, like she's a toddler who went to bed with a mouth full of Bubble Yum and woke up with a head full of sticky dreads.
Now is the time when we have to look at the guido's vocabulary so we'll know exactly what they're talking about.
- Peccorina: This is not a real word, this is a curse word that the guidos made up. They took the name of a popular cheese, added a feminine ending to it, and claim that it is a new dirty word. We're not sure of its exact meaning because when The Situation used it for the first time, The Duck Phone made a loud beeping sound that will obscure its true meaning forever. The Duck Phone is, once again, keeping the guidos' secrets.
- Wastey Pants: These are the underwear that guidettes wear when they go out with the objective of getting entirely wasted. They know that their skirts will ride up, they will fall to the ground with their legs in the air, and they will find all sorts of creative ways to show off their neither regions. These pants keep their private parts in check. More often than not, they forget to wear this garment when they head out.
- AAA: A synonym for a dependable booty call. As The Situation describes it, "If you call her, she'll be there."
- The Dip: To leave the premises unannounced. Have we covered this before? It feels like we have.
Yes, everyone was very, very sad that Vinny was gone. We even saw him return home to Staten Island looking exhausted and a bit defeated but happy that there was a lasagna waiting in the oven. Deena and Snooki celebrated Vinny leaving by getting really drunk and causing Deena's weave to tangle into and onto itself. I don't really have time to parse Deena's closeted lesbianism, her mourning of Vinny, and her proclamation that she loves gay men. Let's just say it reaffirms everything you think about Deena (in those soft, quiet moments when you do think about Deena).
Ronnie and Sammi and JWOWW called Vinny to make sure he was doing OK. But DJ Paulie Dirty enacted the traditional mourning ritual for a fallen guido comrade. He went out to Karma, found a girl that Vinny would have loved (slightly older and covered with tattoos) and brought her home and fucked her in Vinny's bed. As we know, the guido's bed is an avatar for his soul, for his very existence. While Vinny's bed is still in the house, it is like he is there as well. When DJ Paulie Deliverance fucks a girl in Vinny's bed, it is like he is fucking her as well. It's like when a member of an urban gang culture pours out some alcohol for a lost brother in arms, but instead of booze, we have a tatted up cougar. It's all ceremonial, but it is the ultimate show of respect and a rather apt display of mourning.
[There was a video here]
Can we take a minute to talk about Paula? Paula is a new guidette that is having some sort of relationship with The Situation. I would say that sleeping with the same person more than once constitutes a relationship, but this is especially true for the guido, who is known for treating women like Slim Jims—delicious snacks that are readily available and not given a second thought to after they're consumed. But Paula keeps coming back for more and The Situation keeps calling for her.
The thing that Paula explains to Sammi is that she doesn't really care what people think or say about her, she just does what she wants. Trying to conform to some notion of self causes disappointment and heartbreak. Paula doesn't care if she's in her bikini at the bar. She doesn't care if boys write DTF on her ass with a Sharpie. She doesn't care if they call her slut to her face. Paula doesn't even know what a fuck is, so there is no way she can give one.
There is something sad about this, that she allows herself to be so mistreated, but there is some sort of strange alchemy that works in the heart of the guido that makes this strategy successful. Maybe she has found empowerment in her degradation? I'm not sure. We need to study this one more closely
The thing about other guidos is that they don't care what mainstream society thinks about their strange behaviors and folkways, but they care how they are perceived by others in the tribe. That means they have to hold on to some notion of integrity and respect. Paula, who is outside of the guido culture but existing alongside it, doesn't hold these notions. She is complete free, and she is totally wise. I like me some Paula, even though she's fucking Sitch. Ew.
[There was a video here]
Competing with Paula for The Situation's attention is this crazy Bosnian chick that we will call Grilled Cheese, because that is what she tells Sitch she would like him to make for her in the morning. Grilled Cheese goes into the Shore Store, where the guidos are held captive for several hours a day "working," and approaches The Situation about trying on a pair of shorts. Because she is hot, he immediately complies and she flirts with him heavily.
Later that night, she finds him out at Aztec getting dirty with the rest of his crew. "I've been searching for you all day," she says. But Paula is there, so Sitch sends her over to DJ Paulie Distracted. She then flirts heavily with him, so heavily, in fact, that she goes home with him. But Grilled Cheese will not put out, and it is DJ Paulie Debut's birthday! That is against the guido code of honor not to fuck the guy you go home with on his birthday. DJ Paulie Dispatcher calls her a cab and gets rid of her.
10 minutes later, there is a knock at the door. It is Grilled Cheese. She doesn't want to go home yet, she just wants to "hang out," with the guys. This is all very suspect. Taking all this evidence into account, there is only one logical reason that she is behaving like this: Grilled Cheese is a spy.
This is not the first time a comely foreign national has tried to get with the guidos. Of course there is the original stalker Danielle, the Agent of Mossad, and let us not forget about her Miami-based cohort Ramona the Romanian. Both of these women were thwarted in their attempts to mate with a guido, kidnap him, and return him to their home country, where their hearty DNA will be used to fortify their gene pool and create a class of strong half-guido warriors.
I'm not entirely sure if Grilled Cheese is working for a Bosnian boss or if she is, indeed, in league with Danielle, Agent of Mossad. In either case, two things are certain: Grilled Cheese is not willing to fulfill her mission and actually engage in intercourse with a guido and her backup was not ready to spring the trap.
If she was a really good agent, she would have smushed with DJ Paulie Doomed and then smuggled out his "sample" in her body and delivered it to her people. That's what the Black Widow would have done. She does not do it. She is only a half-assed espionage professional. It seems like there was some plan for extraction ready for the guidos, but she acted so fast and so aggressively that everyone back at mission control didn't take the necessary measures to spring the trap when Grilled Cheese had it set. That is why they sent her back into the house, to complete her mission. But she could not. Sadly, Grilled Cheese just melted away into the night.
[There was a video here]
Now that he escaped the treacherous Grilled Cheese, The Situation has another danger to face: his birthday. Apparently Sitch and DJ Paulie Decade were born only a day apart, so this year they were going to celebrate their birthdays together. DJ Paulie Delightful's family surprises him by coming down from Rhode Island (and his mother even brought along his barber so that he could attend to DJ Paulie Depilatory's hair). Everyone is so excited for DJ Paulie DaBomb's birthday and no one gives a shit about The Situation's.
Then he gets all mopey that no one likes him and is whining that he doesn't always want to be the villain. The Situation needs to shut the fuck up with this. He is the alpha male of the tribe and they way he keeps that position is by being an absolute asshole to everyone. He's continuing to threaten Snooki by telling Jionni about their hookup, he alienates and antagonizes everyone at every chance he gets, and then he's surprised that they don't want to celebrate his birth?
This is classic top dog behavior. When he feels threatened, he acts out and tells everyone that he will be the villain so that he can maintain power. But then when he is slighted for wielding that power, he acts all hurt and says that he will reform and make everyone love him. Until their affection threatens to supplant him, in which case he'll begin antagonizing them again. It's a vicious cycle to keep yourself on top. The Situation has two choices: he can suck it up and take it like all the other alpha men in history or he can become like Paula and stop caring. Other than that, you'll just have to let that heavy crown weigh down on your big ears even harder.

TePL in Sharfland
What is TePL?
TePL is the practice of Teaching Praetannic Language, almost always to foreigners and almost always in another country.
How do I become a TePL teacher?
Preferably, Praetannic should be your first (mother) language, although some countries will accept non-native speakers with a very strong grasp of Praetannic. Apart from this, you should at the very least have a TePL certificate (such as the TePL-link.com TePL Entry Certificate). Some countries require degrees, either in a relevant subject or in anything.
Is it easy to get a TePL job in Sharfland?
Yes! Sharfland is hungry for more Praetannic skills to contribute to its development after its long civil war. TePL jobs in Sharfland are mainly located in the big cities - Vorga, Kodonseng, Shiran and the wealthy coastal cities.
What TePL jobs are available in Sharfland?
A lot of language centers hire all year round and are the most popular TePL job. Universities, state schools and international schools also employ a lot of TePL teachers but typically hire only in the pre-semester holidays.
What are the requirements for being a TePL teacher in Sharfland?
Sharfland requires a degree in any subject from a Praetannic language university or degree program, but it is a very relaxed law and many teachers simply enter on tourist visas. Language centers vary from no requirements to advanced TePL certificates. Universities and state schools require at least a TePL certificate. International schools require either a lot of experience or an advanced degree in TePL.
What are the visa rules in Sharfland?
Officially your employer should purchase an Alien Working Visa (AWV) on your behalf, valid for one year (the length of your contract in most cases). In practice, a lot of teachers work under the table on six month tourist visas with a quick hop to Tairendia or Uiri biannually to renew it.
What are the salaries for TePL jobs in Sharfland?
An entry-level teacher can expect to earn around 1000 Kora per teaching hour at a language center (83 Kora = 1 Universal Standard Dollar), however you will not be compensated for prep time. Schools and universities are salaried - expect around 85,000 Kora per month at a university or state school, and 12,000 Kora per month or above at an international school. While relatively low amounts, the minute cost of living should still enable you to save a few hundred dollars every month for back home.
What is the workload like in Sharfland?
In language centers there is a lot of work! Apart from your contact hours, you have to also do unpaid marking and preparation for each class, and may sometimes be asked by the director to help in other tasks such as advertising. You can easily end up working 40 hours a week with only 25 contact hours in your first few months, but you will quickly learn how to streamline your work. In universities and state/international schools, the fact you are salaried makes it much easier to manage your time, with only 10 to 20 contact hours per week.
What are the students like in Sharfland?
Children are usually well-behaved, having been brought up to fear authority. In the language centers, classes are usually on the smaller side, with around 6 to 10 pupils per class. You will have a real mix of old and young, men and women, professionals and students. In state schools you will have a harder time, with up to 40 young children in the classroom with you at any one time, and they can be rowdy. Numbers in university are similar but the students do not need to be controlled. International students are a real mix, and you could find yourself working with quiet studious Songians or loud, brash Dumani bullies.
What benefits to TePL teachers get in Sharfland?
As a poor country Sharfland has relatively few benefits. In Vorga and Kodonseng at least you will usually be offered furnished accommodation, or a slight pay increase to find your own place.
There are fifteen public holidays in Sharfland every year, and you are guaranteed to have these off. Schools also give at least five days' vacation every year, and if working in a school you will receive several months' paid holiday in line with the academic year. You won't have such large holidays in a language center, but will usually receive a nice bonus when your students complete a course.
Employers will also offer you health insurance, but it is virtually worthless. You will have to pay up for a more comprehensive package that covers medical evacuation to Tairendia or the Praetonian health tourism hospital in neighboring Freiburg.

With roots dating to 1921, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is one of the State's oldest agencies. It oversees dozens of legislatively mandated programs that promote the healthy growth of Utah agriculture, the conservation of our natural resources and the protection of our food supply. Two important programs are the Utah Grazing Improvement Program and the Invasive Weeds Mitigation Program. Both work to improve the health of our rangelands and watersheds.
In the area of food safety, the Department inspects the state's 4,000 retail stores and the many food processing plants for food quality and safety and correct item pricing.
The Department's Utah's Own Program works to reconnect consumers with their food supply and promotes the benefits of Utah's locally grown and processed foods which represent 15 percent of Utah's economy. The Department also protects animal health and the state's $1 billion livestock industry, as well as guards against invasive insects.

Truck YeahThe trucks are good!
The SS Thistlegorm was a British munitions transporter that the Germans sent to the bottom of the Red Sea in 1941. Full of trucks and motorcycles, it's a wreck diver's dream and the Daily Mail just posted some great of photos from a recent dive.
Bedford Vehicles trucks, Universal Carrier armored trucks, Norton 16H and BSA motorcycles, two LMS Stanier Class 8F steam locomotives, and aircraft parts are all still preserved in the vessels hold. Well, sort of.
Okay, so they're damn near rusted to obscurity but they are strangely beautiful in their state of extreme decay.
Bren guns, 0.303 rifles, and ammo are also presumably still down there too, along with radios and Wellington boots.

Beyond its fishing potential and role as bath (and 'bathroom'), the river is also just a great place to be. After spending time in the damp and often dim forest—its many wonders notwithstanding—it always feels good to sit by the river. The air is slightly drier, and where the river is wide enough, it cuts a narrow chasm in the green roof of trees. These breaks in the canopy let in welcome rays of hot sunlight, enough to dry clothes on makeshift washing lines.
Last week, we had some visitors to the camp: my wife, Kinari, and friends Hotlin and Karen. Kinari is a physician and the founder of Health in Harmony, a human health and forest conservation organization. Dr. Hotlin Ompusunggu is a dentist and the director of the Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI) clinic, the local operation linked to Health in Harmony, and Karen was teaching local midwives as a volunteer. Dr. Hotlin, representing ASRI, is a finalist for one of the 2011 Whitley Awards (aka "Green Oscars"). She will be leaving next week for the UK to meet Princess Anne, and possibly Sting and David Attenborough! Since we were already set up here, our camp offered her a good opportunity to explore one of the more pristine areas of the Park.
The highlight of their visit was a group trip downriver to the Riam Parit waterfall, or rather "waterchute." After a heavy, early afternoon downpour (which, interestingly, barely raised the river level at all—the hydrological buffering role of a healthy forest)—we hiked along riverbank for a half hour through the leech-rich riparian forest. The sun lined up perfectly to throw golden beams through the steam rising from the warm, damp rocks. We waded across the river just above the falls, and carefully made our way down the other side over slippery boulders. The water has cut a deep groove though the granite; hence "parit," or channel. Numerous circular holes dot the surface of the rocks like cauldrons. These are filled with large, rounded rocks which be formed when the river is in spate: the swift current apparently drives the contained rocks round and round in their holes, but without washing them out; thus these perfect cylinders are ground into the bedrock.
Below the falls is a large, very deep pool. I dove down a few meters in the relatively clear water using Endro's mask again, but could see nothing but an ominous blackness—probably caused by a thick layer of rotting leaf matter at the bottom of the pool. Semi-serious jokes about water monsters shot back and forth. However, the purpose of this trip was to pluck up enough courage to leap into the rushing water chute as it entered the pool, and eventually everyone rose to the challenge. Dr. Hotlin was fearless, an attitude we hope helps her win in the UK next week.

Prior to 1998, a divorced co-parent of a minor child was not allowed to move the residence of the child to another state without permission of the other parent or a court order, and doing so would be a basis to seek a change of custody.
The effect of this was that a five mile move from Kansas City to Leawood could give rise to a motion to change custody, but the law made no such provision for a 500 mile move from Kansas City to the Missouri Bootheel.
In 1998, the legislature changed the law to provide that any move of the principal residence of a child, regardless of distance, requires at least 60 days written notice to the other parent, by certified mail, with detailed information including the date and place of the proposed move, the reasons, and a proposal as to the revised schedule of custody or visitation.
Failure to provide the notice constitutes a basis for the court to consider a modification of custody and visitation, to order a return of the child, and to assess attorney fees to the violating party.
If notice of relocation is properly given, then the parent receiving the notice must file a motion with the court objecting to the relocation within 30 days of receiving the notice or is deemed to have consented to the relocation. Our courts have held that this is a firm deadline, and a parent who fails to object by filing a motion with the court within 30 days effectively gives up his or her right to prevent the relocation or seek other relief as a result.
If a motion objecting to relocation is filed with the court, then a case is opened wherein the court will hear the evidence and determine if, and on what terms, relocation might be permitted, or not. The relocating party has the burden of proving that the proposed move is being made in good faith, and is in the best interest of the child.
There was a time when the prevailing attitude of the courts tended to be that custodial parents of minor children, usually mothers, had the practical freedom to relocate as they saw fit, and non-custodial parents, usually fathers, often had little to say about it.
But in recent times, that trend has changed, and the legal environment today is geared toward providing both parents the opportunity to be involved in the day-to-day lives of children of divorce, with shared decision-making, shared access to information, and equal right to involvement in the children's lives and activities.
This environment also means that relocating a child away from one parent by another is in great disfavor, and courts these days tend to be generally disinclined to permit a parent to relocate the primary residence of a child to a place that obstructs that day-to-day opportunity of an involved co-parent.
But, forget not my admonition above, in order to object, a parent must file a motion with the court within the 30 day deadline, or be deemed to consent to the relocation, and effectively lose any further right to complain.

What is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common mental health problem in children. Children with ADHD often have problems with attention span, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. It is often called by an older name, attention deficit disorder (ADD).
The disorder begins in the preschool years and may either continue or fade away during the teenage years. About one-third of children with ADHD also have learning problems such as a reading disability. About half of ADHD children and teenagers have behavior problems, which may include breaking rules, talking back, and hitting other children.
ADHD is 7 times more common in boys than girls. Girls are more likely to have troubles with attention and less likely to have hyperactivity.
How does it occur?
In about 70% of cases, ADHD is inherited. It runs in families, especially through the males in the family line. Research continues in an effort to find out why it occurs in those without a family history. Some things that contribute to the risk for ADHD include:
Much research has looked at whether ADHD is caused by sugar or things added to foods such as preservatives and coloring. No sound evidence has connected these with ADHD. Allergies are also not a factor in causing ADHD.
People with ADHD have several small differences in their brain structure. These differences are in the front part of the brain (an area involved in self-control) and in some parts in the center of the brain.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of ADHD, especially hyperactivity, usually appear by age 2 or 3 and by first grade at the latest. The main symptoms are:
Common related symptoms are:
How is it diagnosed?
Your health care provider will ask about the symptoms and will observe your child's behavior for signs of ADHD. To diagnose ADHD, it must be clear that the symptoms persist and interfere in a major way with daily life. You and others, such as your child's teachers, may be asked to complete questionnaires or rating forms about ADHD symptoms. Your child may be asked to see a psychologist or other mental health professional for tests of attention and self-control.
There are no useful physical tests such as blood tests or brain scans for diagnosing ADHD.
There are 3 forms of ADHD:
How is it treated?
The treatment of ADHD may involve 3 types of treatment:
Treatments that have not been found effective include diets limiting sugar, food additives, or food colorings; and herbal supplements and health foods. Despite much research into this area since the 1970s, little has been found that relates diet to hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, or poor attention.
Although there are claims that many health foods benefit children with ADHD, there are almost no data to back up or refute those claims. Omega fatty acid supplements and certain vitamins and minerals may help symptoms of ADHD.
How long do the effects last?
The symptoms of ADHD almost always last from early childhood until puberty. Between puberty and the young adult years, about half of ADHD sufferers have a major reduction in symptoms. The other half show a slight change or no change in symptoms as they grow into adulthood. Being more patient and better able to sit still are the most common improvements between late childhood and young adulthood.

Baptist Student Ministries plans trip to Kenya
Students from Wayland Baptist University's Baptist Student Ministry are planning a mission trip to Kenya during the summer of 2002.
The trip is a partnership with Texas Baptist Student Ministry, which sends approximately 250 students all over the world annually through semester and summer missions. Students from Wayland will comprise a Special Impact team that will join International Mission Board missionaries in their work in Kenya July 17 to August 11.
According to Donnie Brown, BSM director at Wayland, specific tasks will depend somewhat on talents and interests of the group going, coordinated through the IMB.
"We'll be working in urban ministries with the Nairobi Baptist Association, doing Bible schools, music evangelism, youth ministry and working in Nairobi orphanages," he said. "In suburban areas, we'll be working with the Kiambu Baptist Association in much the same areas. In rural areas, we'll work with the Rift Valley Association and will be doing construction, Bible schools and evangelism."
Brown said 13 students have already expressed interest in going to Kenya. Those students completed surveys on their interests and spiritual gifts, and the International Mission Board will pair the students with specific jobs that need to be done.
The trip originated both with students and with Dr. Vaughn Ross, professor of biological sciences and a former missionary to Kenya. Brown said Ross approached him about taking a group of students to the African nation about the same time another group of students approached him about a mission opportunity.
"A missions group, made up of students who have a heart for missions and feel led in that area, had begun meeting and praying together, and this trip has come about out of that group," Brown said.
Wayland has been in partnership with the Kenya Baptist Theological College for about three years now, offering students there selected basic courses on a twice-yearly basis, taught by WBU professors who visit the country for three weeks. The Special Impact team going next summer will stay at Brackenhurst Baptist International Conference Center, where some classes are taught.
According to Brown, each student participating in the mission trip will need to raise $2,800 for travel, lodging and meal expenses. Many are doing this by asking friends, family and home church members to contribute as well as provide prayer support for the venture.
The BSM also welcomes any donations by others who might be interested in helping to offset costs for the three-week trip. To make contributions, send checks payable to Wayland Baptist Student Ministries to 1900 West Seventh, CMB 368, Plainview, Texas 79072. A receipt will be returned.
For more information, contact Brown at (806) 291-3585.

Storybook Circus has become the new home for the Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride. It's not the Dumbo you remember. Now there are two Dumbos revolving in opposite directions straddling a Big Top circus tent. Inside lies a surprise: a next-generation pager Fastpass system that allows kids to play interactive games in the Big Top while their parents relax until they are paged to ride Dumbo.
Check out the detail in Storybook Circus: the circus train tracks that lead everywhere, even into the bathrooms; the peanut shells embedded into the concrete; the smell of caramel corn. Other circus-themed attractions include the Barnstormer, a kiddie coaster featuring the Great Goofini; the Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station water play area; and Pete's Silly Sideshow, where kids can meet Disney characters.

When it comes to marriage halls Chennai, there are many impressive options that can be rented to organize an exceptional event. You can find inns, farms, abbeys, restaurants, municipal halls, private rooms in palaces or even theaters, barges and more. Before making the final decision, you must ask yourself the right questions. What kind of place would fit perfectly with the mood you want for your wedding and how much are you willing to spend?
If you are interested in unusual or original Chennai weddings, bet on renting a houseboat; thus, you will surprise all your guests. To ensure that the selected places match your expectations and the available budget, check the information on the websites and call the owners to get answers to your questions (availability on the planned date, hall sizes and more).
The majority Chennai wedding venue options are reserved twelve months in advance, sometimes up to twenty-four months. It is therefore essential to make the necessary arrangements as soon as possible, especially if you are getting married in summer, the most popular period.
Why Choose Rajan Gardens
Rajan Gardens provides a spectacular Chennai farmhouse wedding venue for locals and non-residents. The facility is located in Uthandi, which is reachable by car on ECR. It offers a magnificent mansion that is used as one of the wedding halls Chennai. You can opt for an outdoor or indoor event depending on the weather and other factors. The outdoor space has the capacity to host up to 1,000 guests while the indoor hall can host 150 people. The later is well suited to exclusive events.
The mansion boasts stunning architecture that is guaranteed to capture the imagination of your guests. The facility also features exotic flora and lush green lawns that transform the environment into a paradisiacal ECR wedding venue. You will love the scenic backdrops that make your event more memorable. The wedding photos will undoubtedly look amazing.
The facility is known for its beautiful gardens, fresh ocean breezes, expansive courtyard and romantic open-air ballroom exteriors. The mansion provides access to an immaculate atrium.
Additional considerations
To start your search for reception halls Chennai of your dreams and compare options, check the yellow pages, guides on the Internet and hotel websites. Inquire with friends and colleagues; maybe a friend was invited to a wedding that took place in a beautiful place.
You should establish a short list of marriage venue in Chennai options that you like the most in order to visit them. This will allow you to assess the space because your choice must meet specific requirements, such as the capacity to host the expected number of guests.
For this reason, you must take into account the number of invited guests for your union. Thus, choose a marriage venue in Chennai where everyone can sit comfortably and does not leave too much space between the tables. In short, a Chennai marriage hall that is neither too big nor too small. Also, remember to check that once the tables are installed, you will have enough room for people to dance late into the night.
As for practicality, choose a room that does not have too many stairs to facilitate access for the elderly guests. Also, opt for a place that is not too far from the town hall and the place of worship where you get married. Otherwise, bringing everyone to the reception venue following the ceremony may be tedious.
It is necessary to take into account other factors before booking a Chennai resort wedding venue or house wedding venue. If the Kalyana Mandaps Chennai reception is hosted inside, does the place have an extra place to organize it?

Learn first-hand how leading technology providers are developing midmarket technologies to solve key business and strategic challenges.
Rob Enderle is at the IT Business Edge Midmarket CIO Summit where he is focusing on the needs and concerns of CIOs in mid-sized businesses and government organizations. Rob is doing the talk on Windows 7 deployment best practices, and to prepare for that talk he's interviewed around 10 companies that have either deployed Windows 7 or are in trials with it.

Yesterday I undertook one of those nagging homeowner projects and finally painted the guest bedroom! Gone is the nasty mint-green, in its place is a fabulous Nimbus Gray (aka a steel blue)!
Thanks to some helpful tips from followers of the DoAAC Facebook page, I tackled the paint-job successfully and with confidence! So much so, I'm contemplating taking on a bigger project next weekend: painting the living room.
Here's the tips I gathered online and from the FB followers and below is evidence of my successful painting job. Onward to the next project!
- Prep is 90% of the job. Tape off everything you don't want painted. Clean all surfaces well.
- Invest in the proper tools. Get (or borrow in my case) good brushes, several drop-cloths, and invest in good paint (I went with Benjamin Moore paint-and-primer).
- Get in the zone. Turn on some music and relax… don't rush, enjoy the painting process.
|Prepped and ready to paint!
|Mid paint job.
|Me, in action!
|The finished project!

Bhikkhus, this Kassapa is content with any kind of robe, and he speaks in praise of contentment with any kind of robe, and he does not engage in a wrong search, in what is improper, for the sake of a robe. If he does not get a robe he is not agitated, and if he gets one he uses it without being tied to it, uninfatuated with it, not blindly absorbed in it, seeing the danger in it, understanding the escape. ...
Therefore, bhikkhus, you should train yourselves thus: 'We will be content with any kind of robe, and we will speak in praise of contentment with any kind of robe, and we will not engage in a wrong search, in what is improper, for the sake of a robe.

- Do you wish to honor the Body of the Savior? Do not despise it when it is naked. Do not honor it in church with silk vestments while outside it is naked and numb with cold. He who said, "This is my body," and made it so by his word, is the same that said, "You saw me hungry and you gave me no food. As you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me." Honor him then by sharing your property with the poor. For what God needs is not golden chalices but golden souls.

Should show the soul's habiliments.

But better Fair I use to know.

The arms race is on. The workplace has become a dangerous place, but once upon a time, it was all a laugh. Back in the day, your workmates chased each other with squirt-guns, then disc-guns. Everybody laughed when somebody brought in the harmless Airzooka. Gleefully, somebody brought in a marshmallow blaster.
Then it went kinda nuts. Sonic Grenades, catapults, lightsabers, ninjas... Suddenly, it was less about harmless fun. Suddenly, things got serious. Deadly serious. The day that the guy down the hall brought in the USB Missile Launcher was the day the gauntlet was thrown down.
Today is the day it gets picked up, and slapped across the face of your office enemy. ThinkGeek's new USB Rocket Launcher has more than twice the range of his missile launcher - yeah, I said twice the range. Now you can be the one your cube-neighbors fear, and fear leads to respect... or does fear lead to anger? I forget.
Anyway, this rocket launcher connects to your Windows or Mac via USB. Install the included software, plug in the Rocket Launcher, and with 360 degree horizontal rotation and 45 degree vertical rotation, the USB Rocket Launcher can fire over six meters, giving you coverage for over 113 square meters of your workspace.

Dream Act
Another new law being referred to the voters, sometimes called the "Dream Act," would allow some undocumented immigrants to pay the lower, in-state college tuition rate in Maryland if they met certain conditions such as attending a Maryland high school and filing income taxes. In November, will you vote for the Dream Act or against it?
