Check out our Help Center and FAQ's page here.
Here at OBJKTS Jewelry, we source quality metals and use high quality plating. With that said, fashion jewellery (including plated, 925 Sterling Silver and expensive jewellery brands) can experience normal wear and tear like this over time. To extend the life of your jewellery, please give them occasional breaks and to keep them away from any moisture and creams.
Please follow these tips to maintain the quality and prevent early tarnish:
- Keep them in your OBJKTS Jewelry dust bag when not in use
- Avoid sweat
- Wipe with soft cloth
- Do not sleep in your jewellery
- Avoid chemicals (especially hand cream)
- Avoid bathing, showering or washing your hands with jewellery on
- Wait for hand/face cream to dry before putting on any jewellery
- If your 925 Sterling Silver jewellery oxidises, you can easily get rid of the dark marks and tarnish with a polish cloth
- For brass based rings: Apply a layer of polymer coating/clear nail varnish on the inside of your rings if you are sensitive to brass
Jewellery care for delicate item - Linea (2mm) bracelet / choker / anklet
This item is delicate if mistreated as with all small tennis bracelets. Please only pull it straight. Please do not twist it and do not use a twist motion when you opening or closing the clasp or the links may snap. If you twist it, this will be the reason why it snaps.
Please put the tennis bracelet on last when getting ready and take it off first to avoid the prongs of the bracelet from getting caught. The prongs will loosen if it gets caught on clothing. If a prong gets too loose, the stone might fall out as the stone is handset into the prongs without glue.
Metal sensitivity
Those that are sensitive to copper or brass should not purchase brass based jewellery and instead opt for our Stainless Steel jewellery.
Our 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery (all 925 Sterling Silver contains 92.5% sterling silver and 6.5% copper) which may be a better option for you if have had green tainting on your rings before.
We take no responsibility or liability for any reactions that may take place; It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure all precautions are taken as we are unable to know each individual's allergies and sensitivities.
Alternatively, you contact our support team and we'll be happy to help.

The Urban Collection Murphy Beds are perfect for any room in the city. Open shelving comes standard with optional colors, door and bed sizes. Read below for a full description.
Free Shipping!
Availability: Made to order
Est. delivery: Jul. 10 - Jul. 12
Click here to learn more
*Accommodates any standard U.S. mattress sizes up to 13" thick and under 110 lbs, however we recommend keeping the thickness under 11" so the headboard can sit at an angle to minimize the gap between the wall and mattress. Additionally the leg rod may need to be removed for mattresses between 11"-13". For this reason we also provide a mattress strap to help hold the mattress in place. Mattresses not included, see our Mattresses page to find a mattress from BredaBeds, or use your own.
*This bed has a mattress weight restriction of 110 lbs, if supplying your own mattress, verify the weight. All mattresses sold from BredaBeds are under this weight and are fully compatible with this bed.
*Made to order - Ships in approx. 7 weeks (see 'Estimated delivery' for estimated dates). The shipping company will call to setup an appointment for delivery.
*Actual colors may vary slightly from photo depictions, to request color swatches, fill out our "Request Color Samples" form.
*The images above are staged with furnishings and bedding. This product does not include bedding, pillows, throw pillows, pictures, tables, etc. unless otherwise stated.
LED Light Kit: Our LED Light Kits comes with 3 lights and a battery operated RF remote which plug into any regular power outlet (type A or B). The lights recess into the top of the bed cabinet which gives a clean look and they shine down onto the pillows below, perfect for reading in bed. Our light kit is low voltage, so they won't get too hot if you forget to turn them off before folding the bed up. An extension cord or cord channel may need to be purchased separately depending on your specific assembly situation. For a larger view of our light kit, click here.
BredaBlock Compatible: The BredaBeds BredaBlock is the ideal companion for our Murphy Beds. It's custom wedge shaped design fills the gap between the mattress and wall, creating a seamless look and a frustration-free night's sleep which prevents pillows and other small items from falling over the top of the mattress. The headboard normally sits at a slight angle to minimize this gap, however there will still exist a 4" to 6" gap. The BredaBlock is custom fit and sized to fill this gap.
Ready-to-assemble (RTA): This product comes complete with all parts and hardware (including screws, fittings, mechanism, etc.). Parts are cut to size and holes are pre-drilled on computerized equipment. This allows for perfect alignment every time and parts self-align with the help of special "cam fittings". This also allows the bed to be disassembled and damaged parts replaced. Assembly is required using basic tools. The best way to see what's involved with assembly is to watch our Murphy Bed assembly video.
Made in the U.S.A.: We proudly make our beds here in the United States and ship nationwide. When you purchase from BredaBeds, you are buying from the manufacturer. Buying direct saves distributor costs, high retail markups and allows us to better serve our customers.
Environmentally conscious: All composite panels are certified by a third party, to source 100% recycled and/or recovered wood fiber material AND are certified to meet the requirements of the Eco-Certified Composite (ECC) Sustainability Standard CPA 4-11.
Safe: Safety is our first and foremost concern when designing our products. When properly assembled, our products are safe to use and operate. They meet or exceed all safety guidelines set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
10 year warranty: BredaBeds provides an industry leading 10 year limited warranty on all mechanical parts (such as the spring mechanism, bed frame and leg support system) and a 1 year limited warranty on all wood parts. In the unlikely event that a warranty issue does arise, we can provide replacement parts in a timely manner since we are the manufacture. This warranty is made assuming proper installation using the provided instructions and does not cover labor. You can read more about our warranty at our Warranty, Shipping & Returns page.
Strength & durability: We start with 3/4" thick industrial-core particle board. This is faced with a thermally fused melamine coating to provide a durable hard surface. Our industrial-core is far superior to thinly made commercial-core commonly found in discount stores. It meets or exceeds ANSI standard A208.1-2009 and ANSI standard A208.2-2009. Melamine and 3D Laminate are abrasion and scratch resistant, to maintain a "like new" appearance. The surface can easily be cared for with soap and water. The color is resistant to change as a result of sunlight exposure. Learn more at our BredaBeds Material Construction blog post.
Design: We specialize in innovative space-saving solutions that combine modern technology with modern styling and believe that customization gives our BredaBed's character. All of our products are configurable, with your choice of hutch options, colors, drawers, doors, bed sizes and more.

In June, the Arizona Diamondbacks announced plans to introduce a new attraction to home games at Phoenix's Chase Field. At the end of the 5th inning, four 10-foot tall foam-headed "legends" would race around the ball park in uniform.
In July, just before the All Star break,
the characters were revealed.
Given the short history of the team, they all hail from the D-Backs' lone World Series championship roster from 2001.
Arizona's legends (Luis Gonzalez, Matt Williams, Mark Grace, and Randy Johnson) are now the MLB's second race (after the Nationals' own racing presidents) to be based on real people.
Having been away traveling recently, I was planning to write about the new Legends Race during the Nats next road trip, but the Nationals forced the issue with their two August series vs. Arizona.
Last week, the racing presidents — at least the Diamondbacks facsimiles of them — made an appearance against the Legends at Chase Field in Arizona, and Diamondbacks play-by-play announcer Daron Sutton held up a cardboard cut-out of Teddy's face with a sign that said, "Even I could beat Mark Grace".
This week the Diamondbacks arrived
at Nationals Park but the racing legends stayed at home;
so on Saturday night (after a botched attempt on Friday the 13th), the presidents held up signs asking "Where Are The Racing Legends?"
Perhaps the signs should have said "We are the Racing Legends."
With the huge popularity of our own Rushmores, it was inevitable that another team would attempt to duplicate the formula, and it appears that the Diamondbacks have gone to school on George, Tom, Abe, and especially Teddy.
Sure enough, with just a month of races under their belt, poor Mark Grace, who is currently the D-Backs color analyst for the FOX Sports Arizona baseball broadcasts, seems to be following the path of Teddy Roosevelt.
And Gracie isn't just 0-for-24. In the first month, he's been distracted by Silly String, held up by Darth Vader, blocked by Kung Fu Panda, and generally bullied around by the competition.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the icing on the cake was the near-instant appearance of a blog at LetGraceWin.com.
Remarkably, the website made its debut on the same day that the first race was run, when Mark Grace was still one of three winless legends.
How did the site's creator, Jeff Summers, know that Grace was destined to play the role of lovable loser?
Summers, a technology executive, web designer, and longtime Diamondbacks blogger, says he didn't know. He says he became a fan of the Let Teddy Win blog when his daughter discovered it, and has become a student of Teddy's travails. "I religiously look to it to see if today is finally the day Teddy wins," he said.
"During the first race, Los Angeles Dodger outfielder Manny Ramirez disrupted the race throwing a towel at Grace causing a distraction costing him a win," said Summers. "The LetGraceWin site started out just describing 'Towel-gate.' Each night something seemed to happen causing yet another loss."
"I seldom if ever miss a home game so the fans knew I would know who won the race," Summers added. "It wasn't just who won, they also wanted to know how they won."
A longtime student of the game, Summers attributes Grace's misfortune to the "Cubs curse," since Grace spent most of his career with the famously cursed Chicago franchise.
"I keep thinking he can't go winless forever, can he?" Summers asked. "But after seeing the challenges of Teddy Roosevelt I'm more than a little frightened at what I have ahead of me."

Tougher N.Y. Gun Laws Result In 1,146 Felony Charges
ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Nearly a year after passage of New York state's new gun law, dealer sales of popular AR-15 semi-automatic rifles have ended in New York and arrest data show more than 1,000 gun possession charges in New York City were boosted from misdemeanors to felonies because of the changes.
Meanwhile, 59 people have been charged statewide with misdemeanors for possessing large-capacity magazines or having more than seven bullets loaded in a magazine, both outlawed by the law passed last January in the aftermath of the school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
The report from the Division of Criminal Justice Services shows only one person charged with the illegal sale or transfer of a gun defined as an assault weapon as of mid-December. The new law tightened that definition to include AR-15s. Owners may keep their older weapons but must register them by April 15.
"The numbers are indisputable. The SAFE Act has enabled the state to better protect New Yorkers," said Melissa DeRosa, spokeswoman for Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He pushed the legislation shortly after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead. Police said the 20-year-old gunman used a semi-automatic rifle and 30-round magazines.
The DCJS data from arrests and arraignments statewide showed 1,291 charges under the new gun law, with 1,155 for felony firearm possession, formerly just a misdemeanor, and 1,041 of the cases in New York City, mostly in Brooklyn and the Bronx. The new felony took effect in March, elevating the charge and penalty for illegal possession of a firearm.
Separately, 17,751 people have been charged so far this year with misdemeanor weapon possession, almost 90 percent in New York City, comparable to last year's 19,089 yearlong total before the law changed. The misdemeanor charge includes other weapons like switchblades, blackjacks and brass knuckles.
Other arrests under the new gun law included 26 for weapon possession on school grounds.
Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, whose federal lawsuit in Buffalo to overturn the law awaits a judge's ruling, said it has been his organization's position for years that what's needed is enforcement and prosecution of existing gun laws. "Other than to make it extremely difficult for the legal and lawful gun owner in New York state, I don't see what the SAFE Act has done in New York to make anyone more safe."
King said he wasn't surprised that licensed dealers have followed the law and stopped selling guns redefined in the law as assault weapons. "The dealers have always been following the laws, as have most of the legal and lawful gun owners,'' he said.
The state police, who for months have been accepting online registrations for those guns ahead of the April 15 deadline, refused to disclose how many they have received. Spokeswoman Darcy Wells said the statistics are "derived from information collected for the state police database and are, therefore, exempt from disclosure."
At gun rallies this year outside the Capitol in Albany, several protesters vowed not to register their guns, calling it a violation of their Second Amendment rights. King suggested police weren't revealing the number of registrations because there have been so few.
Concerning registration enforcement after April 15, Wells said state police are warning that failing to register by the deadline is punishable by a misdemeanor charge and forfeiting the gun, but there will be some initial leniency.
"If the failure to register is deemed to be unintentional, a 30-day amnesty period will be extended for purposes of registering the weapon without fear of prosecution," she said.
Hans Farnung, chief executive of Beikirch Ammunition in East Rochester, said he now has two stores in Pennsylvania and is considering a third there with its better business climate. His New York store can no longer sell AR-15s, as well as some other guns used for hunting deer or turkey or even trap shooting because of pistol or thumbhole grips that put them under the new outline for assault weapons, he said.
"We've done well this year, but some of it is still panic buying," Farnung said. He noted that he now has .22-caliber ammunition, which had sold out and remained in short supply earlier this year. Meanwhile, American Tactical Imports decided to leave Rochester for South Carolina, taking 118 jobs, while AR15.com left the Finger Lakes region for Texas, he said.
"January will be the first anniversary," he said of the law. "Show me proof violence is down, shootings are down, murders with handguns are down."

DLL file that you are looking for is found
Your OS version: unknown OS.
special offer
Modern programs consist of several modules, which include data arrays, classes, services, and required libraries. This approach allows, when rewriting software, not to completely edit the code, but to change only the necessary functions that are contained in the constituent parts. Since it is impossible to open a DLL file using standard Windows tools, you have to use other methods.
These DLL files are also known as Dynamic Link Library files, and the content of the file attached with the .dll extension is a collection of compiled resources such as directives, routines, and driver libraries that are required by embedded Windows applications, and third-party programs that were developed for Microsoft Windows. These DLL files allow Windows programs to share resources in compiled libraries with other applications.During runtime, some of these applications can be linked to these DLL resources. Most of these DLL files are already bundled with Microsoft Windows systems, although some programs provide their own DLL resources after installation. Some of these DLL files facilitate communication between the Windows system, the corresponding embedded or third-party applications and driver resources required for external and internal I / O devices.
Basic principles for error recovery
There are some ways to fix error cps.dll files:
- download the cps.dll file on our website;
- overwrite the necessary cps.dll file;
- use universal programs.
To quickly return the system to a healthy state, the user can select one of the three recovery points presented on the left side of the recovery environment window.
- Download cps.dll.
- Fix the missing cps.dll error automatically.
- Repair System to fix errors with cps.dll.
- Scan your PC for viruses.
- Fix cps.dll error with SFC.
Variant 1: Download DLL files from website now
If you are missing a required DLL file, the program you are trying to run will generate a "DLL is missing" error. To fix the problem, place the missing file in the folder of the program that is causing the error. We offer one of the largest databases of DLL files along with their descriptions. You can download all necessary DLL files from our website absolutely free of charge.

- In addition, data recovery is available for Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / Vista / XP.
Variant 3: Repair System to fix errors with cps.dll
In some cases, the cause of the cps.dll error may be the incorrect operation of the operating system registry entries. Errors can occur after uninstalling programs that used cps.dll from your computer. Due to unnecessary entries, the system cannot find the correct path to the file - this is how various software errors occur. Malware can also damage registry components.
A quick and easy recovery utility will help you quickly and easily fix all operating system errors. It is provided in the OS itself. To start it, you need to simultaneously hold down the Windows + I keys, after which the options window will open.

Variant 4: Scan your PC for viruses
Another effective way to solve problems with DLL files is to scan your computer for viruses and then delete them. For these purposes, any downloaded antivirus or the built-in "Defender" is suitable. It will quickly detect and quarantine the erroneous library created by the virus, and delete it.
After that, you will need to install or update the Microsoft Visual C ++ package and restore the operation and interaction of system files.
Variant 5:Fix cps.dll error with SFC
Damage to system documents or virus infection can cause failure. Therefore, it is suggested to scan your PC with SFC to fix corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps below:

- Open a command prompt with admin (+ X and select the tool you need)
- Enter: DISM / Online / Cleanup-Image / RestoreHealth
- The process will also take over 20 minutes. Once completed, check for the notification by opening the problematic app or game.
You need to go through these steps carefully:• Win + X and open command prompt (admin). • Enter: regsvr32 / u cps.dll• Run this command again to re-register the library. regsvr32 / i cps.dll
Finally, restart your PC and check.
These methods are intended for both casual and advanced users. Use our recommendations completely free of charge!
Good luck!

What to Take
We recommend the use of a duffel bag or backpack (whichever you find easiest to carry). A good size daypack is also essential. PLEASE NOTE that your luggage allowance for the jungle boat from Puerto Maldonado is 10 kg. Excess luggage can be safely stored in Puerto Maldonado – please talk to the local guide of you need this arranged.
Packing List
Health & Safety:
• Face masks (required)
• Hand sanitizer (required)
• Pen (Please bring your own pen for filling out documents.)
• Rubber gloves
Laundry facilities are offered by some of our hotels for a charge. There will be times when you may want to or have to do your own laundry so we suggest you bring non-polluting/biodegradable soap.
Visas and Entry Requirements
All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent.
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
The currency in Peru is the Nuevo Sol (PEN).
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank.
You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money, a combination of US dollar cash and cards is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
We do not recommend bringing travellers cheques as they are very difficult to change in country.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIP: Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denominations lower than 100USD (or equivalent).
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
It is customary in Latin America to tip service providers such as waiters, and local guide(s) at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels.
Optional Activities
No optional activities
Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical rating for trip specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveler from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Protests and Demonstrations- Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk.
We take all prudent measures in relation to your safety. For ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling, please visit:
Trip Specific Safety
GENERAL: Look after your personal items. Do not leave your valuables visible in a car or hotel room. Lock your hotel room door when you enter and when you leave. Do not carry large amount of cash on you. Avoid displaying flashy jewellery and carry your camera in its pack on your shoulder rather than around your neck. Keep your passport, airline tickets, money, important documents locked up in your room/safe – do not carry it with you.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

I've really begun to enjoy posting images on Instagram and have also found many very talented young photographers in Texas that love to post their images as much as I do. One such is Rebecca (@becbaytx), a wonderful young artist from Orchard, Texas that loves to post cloudscapes and sunsets from the cotton fields surrounding this tiny town in Fort Bend County.
After viewing several of Rebecca's gorgeous shots on Instagram I was inspired to visit the area a few weeks ago to see what I was missing and as you can see, the cloudscapes that develop over those cotton fields are a sight to see.

Increasing regulation on the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment places responsibility on manufacturers, retailers and suppliers to prove that their products comply.
Third party RoHS testing from SGS enables you to ensure compliance to the relevant EU RoHS directive.
All new products need to be monitored for the concentration of restricted substances including, lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).
Your challenge is to ensure that no product exceeds the RoHS limits of 0.1% or 1,000ppm (except for cadmium, which is limited to 0.01% or 100ppm) by weight of homogenous material. We offer different ways of testing:
Non destructive analysis
We use several non destructive XRF (X-Ray Florescence) methods.
Wet chemical analysis
If high levels of restricted substances are found further tests may be carried out using wet chemical analysis. This restricted substances testing method offers accurate results and verifies any anomalies found during XRF analysis.
XRF screening
We can get a quick indication of the presence of hazardous substances and their location within the product with XRF screening. This testing method is particularly suited to gaining a quick overview of the end product.
In the EU, RoHS is regulated by directive 2002/95/EC. It excludes all non-compliant products from the market. Similar regulations exist in other areas of the world including China, Japan, South Korea, USA, Norway and Turkey. With a global network of 26 accredited RoHS labs and over 1,000 specialists in the field partner with SGS for all your RoHS testing needs.
Find out more about how SGS can assist your organization's compliance to RoHS requirements around the world.

A report, commissioned by Boston University President after two hockey players were charged with sexual assault, found a "culture of sexual entitlement" in the hockey program and a lack of reporting and discipline against star players. In effect, the report concluded that the situation contributed significantly to the behavior which put many BU students at risk. Here are some excerpts:
On March 7, 2012, Boston University President Robert A. Brown established and charged the Men's Ice Hockey Task Force with the responsibility to review the culture and climate of the Boston University men's hockey program and to provide a thoughtful and impartial assessment. The task force was initiated in response to criminal charges, which included sexual assault being brought against two members of the men's ice hockey team within a three-month period. These charges raised serious questions about whether the culture and climate of the ice hockey program contributed in some way to the alleged actions of the two individuals. The University chose to investigate these questions with the understanding that if evidence of systemic problems emerged, then appropriate changes would be made to ensure that our men's ice hockey program is held to the same high standards to which we hold all members of our university community.
Of primary concern was the question of whether inherent aspects of the program's culture and climate could have helped to foster the actions that led to the criminal charges. For those unfamiliar with Boston University athletic programs, the men's hockey team, which has won a total of five national championships, has garnered substantial national recognition and is often among the top university ice hockey programs in the nation. Its visibility both on and off campus exceeds that of any other BU athletic program.
It is essential to note that the task force was not asked to conduct an assessment of the guilt or innocence of the two individuals who were charged with sexual assault. Neither was the task force asked to evaluate the judgments that were rendered in these two cases by Boston University's Judicial Affairs, which has the responsibility for adjudicating alleged violations of the Student Code of Responsibilities. Those processes are the purview of the State of Massachusetts and the Boston University Dean of Students, respectively. In fact, prosecutors have since dropped the criminal charges that were filed against one of the individuals, while the other individual has pleaded guilty to reduced charges of assault and battery.
* * *
Our assessment of the information and data we gathered and reviewed concerning the Boston University men's ice hockey program can be considered in two broad categories. The first includes the full range of university structures, processes, and procedures that govern all aspects of the men's ice hockey program in particular, and competitive athletics at Boston University in general. Our conclusion is that there are a number of important structures and processes that are failing to achieve the full level and quality of oversight of the men's ice hockey program that is expected and appropriate at a major university. These failings include issues of institutional control and governance structure at the highest levels, as well as shortcomings in leadership at the team level. Further, the absence of a few routine, transparent, and systematic processes that would establish clear expectations for players' behavior has created a culture in which important aspects of oversight for our student-athletes' behavior—beyond performance as a team member—has fallen inappropriately to the coaching staff.
The second broad category of findings relates to issues surrounding the social and sexual interactions of the men's ice hockey players with the broader student community. Our assessment has shown that a culture of sexual entitlement exists among some players on the men's ice hockey team, stemming in part from their elevated social status on campus. This culture of sexual entitlement, as evidenced by frequent sexual encounters with women absent an emotional relationship or on-going commitment, can also involve unprotected sex. This culture is actively supported by a small subset of BU's undergraduate population. The absence of systematic processes for sexual assault prevention training for members of the men's ice hockey team, and for BU students more broadly, contributes to behaviors that place many University students at risk. Substance abuse, including heavy alcohol use in particular, can be an important part of students' social and sexual culture. Institutional practices and educational efforts relating to sexual health and substance abuse—for the men's ice hockey players in particular, and for the undergraduate student body in general—do not provide sufficient information or guidance to our students.

The abandoned car had little inside sans a bottle of water on the dashboard and some loose change.
The police were baffled.
This was the third time this particular vehicle was discovered along the highway.
Three owners.
Three missing persons.
Not a single clue.

That's my picture up there. I'm not totally sure why I look so angry. I may be thinking about how much I hated the Crypt Keeper as a child. I grew up faithfully watching reruns of The Twilight Zone and Tales from the Crypt. Unfortunately, I missed the boat in terms of writing for either of those programs. I do consider both to have been wildly influential when I think back to my earliest thoughts about becoming an author and I'm grateful my parents let me watch those shows as a kid (although there were probably some nights early in my childhood my mother wished she hadn't let me watch those shows). If you're familiar with either program, then you know what genres are my focus. I thoroughly enjoy science fiction, suspense, the twist ending, and some horror or supernatural elements as well. Honestly, when I was a kid the Crypt Keeper scared the hell out of me. As an adult, I've really learned to embrace the puns. Historical fiction is a favorite of mine as well, and the root of that is shared with my profession. I am an educator by trade, and I teach American History. I consider some of the best writing I've ever done to be within the realm of historical fiction and I really enjoy saturating my mind in the research end of those projects. I would make the argument that storytelling is in my blood. Even my sister mulled, very briefly (about 45 minutes), launching a career as a screenwriter! My last name is one of those Irish (and, apparently, formally Manx) ones with a wonderfully researched history -"the story-teller's descendant". On of the first day of school each year, I do share that "my name is Mr. Scully, and that rhymes with Kelly", just so I do not hear the myriad of mispronunciations on the first day. Several years ago, I started a blog similar to this one to highlight my middle years as a teacher. If that aspect of my life is of any interest to you at all, you can still find that blog online. During my summers, I really have time to pursue my writing projects and this blog will highlight some of that work. My first attempts to sit down and write extensively occurred when I was 15, but only a few years ago did I make setting time aside to write a priority. I've also benefited wildly over the years from many willing readers among my family and friends. The direction and feedback from those individuals has been invaluable. Outside the world of the written word, I am an educator, basketball coach, lecturer, and (very, very occasionally) a landscaper. I have only ever known Western Pennsylvania as my home. Although I love a good novel, I am absolutely unable to resist the power of the short story. The latter is really what I hope to be remembered for one day. View all posts by joshuajscully

I'm very naughty when I make love and I particularly enjoy it when someone takes their time licking me. To conclude, we therefore want to enjoy ourselves with another libertine. We are very curious. We hope to read your comments soon. See you soon.

Why we stay through the storms
I come from a place that's no stranger to storms, a place where Mama restocked the storm shelter each spring and where schools — from kindergarten to college — have tornado drills.
We prepare because we know the rain and wind will come. The tornado might not touch down on our house or our town, but it will surely blow and threaten. We will need to take cover. We will need to find the strongest place in a building or dig shelters deep into the earth. We'll bow down and cover our heads. And wait.
Others wonder why we stay in a place where our very air twists and destroys. But we know that storms are everywhere. Ice. Floods. Fires. Earthquakes.
No place is immune, and so we stay. We help each other, and we rebuild.
Sure, we're scared and we're cautious, but we're home.

What with invisible ink, yetis, and earthquakes, the world of Government publications can be so diverse and intriguing that it's easy to lose track of sober perennials like the U.S. Government Manual. I've used this great book throughout my career in the Federal Government to get contact information for the right part of a large Federal agency or verify that a smaller, more obscure one actually existed – and what it really did. Thanks to the diligent folks at the National Archives and Records Administration's Office of the Federal Register, you can ferret out phone numbers, mailing addresses and URLs that really work, or just read through each agency entry to better understand its particular missions and activities. It's perhaps the premier annual reference book for all three branches of Government.
Of course, this wouldn't be Government Book Talk if I didn't come at my subject from a slightly skewed angle. My favorite section to browse isn't the main listing of agencies, the quasi-official agencies, or even the international organizations – it's the History of Organizational Changes. For scholars or other researchers, this section is valuable because it allows them to trace the institutional evolution of a Government function or track down the ultimate fate of a defunct bureau or commission. For me (although I've used it for these worthy purposes), it's mainly a way to arouse bemused curiosity about how Federal entities were christened in years past. Did you know that we once had a Bureau of Efficiency (1916-1933)? Did it fade away because we got too efficient? Doubtful, I'm afraid. What about the Office of Facts and Figures (1941-1942)? I know we haven't run out of them…
Some innocuous agency names conceal more interesting activities. There couldn't be a blander, more bureaucratic sounding name than The Office of the Coordinator of Information (1942). It quickly changed to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) which, under the charismatic leader of William J. "Wild Bill" Donovan, conducted U.S.espionage and sabotage activities for the European Theater of Operations in World War II and was the progenitor of today's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Then there was the Virgin Islands Company (1934-1966), a New Deal Government corporation established to grow and refine sugar cane and manufacture and sell rum in that beautiful U.S. possession. It marketed rum under the name "Government House." The label (left) featured a sailing ship, a palm tree, and a harbor, and supposedly was designed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself. How else could I find out about this stuff if not through the pages of the U.S. Government Manual?
If you need a source of the latest information about any Government agency, or if you're just curious about the innumerable nooks and crannies of the Federal establishment, the U.S. Government Manual is for you. You can browse it here, get a print copy of the 2011 edition here, or find it in a library.

The 7-inch Kindle Fire HD is two days from its ship date, but we've got our hands on one a couple of days early. The whole device seems a bit smoother than its predecessor on the surface, both in terms of physical hardware and software. But even at the outset of our interactions with it, we've seen questionable performance out of the device.
The Fire HD's body is significantly less boxy than the original Kindle Fire, and retains the soft rubberized back. The narrow margins on the long sides of the screen have widened, making it a bit easier to hold, if slightly more cartoonish-looking. Despite the fact that the screen merited a mention in the device's own title, we aren't blown away by the quality. It looks good, but we didn't take particular notice of the level of detail or color.
Like the first Fire, the Fire HD comes pre-loaded with your Amazon account, and offers to connect your Facebook and Twitter accounts during setup. Right off the bat, the sponsored sleep screens confused us: you can swipe in from the left to access the ad, or from the right to unlock and get to your content. Initially we were offered a $5 credit on the left swipe tab and thought it was just part of the setup; not so! Fortunately Amazon backtracked on its moratorium against non-special-offers Fires, so owners will be able to turn this setting off if they like, for a fee.
Navigating the carousel is much smoother, but switching between app tabs like Music, Web, or Videos seems to have gotten even slower. As often as not, a full second elapsed between our tap and the app opening, causing us to wonder whether the tap registered at all. On the bright side, we haven't yet noticed that the Fire HD has any of the did-it-take-or-didn't-it responsiveness problems of the first Fire; everything seems to register, even if it's poky.
We'd noticed earlier that the default search engine for the Fire HD was Bing, but found out that this is customizable in the settings (the other options are Google and Yahoo). There's a setting for whether the home screen's carousel displays your latest browsed page, which is good for those of us with somewhat embarrassing surfing sessions. Curiously, we could also uncheck a box to "accelerate page loading." You know, for those leisurely Sundays. (We kid—this is likely a nod to privacy, as Silk theoretically relies on predictive loading to speed up its performance; this setting may prevent Amazon from collecting and using your data to power Silk).
The browser seems a bit snappier than before, and this may be due to the few million Kindles that now provide Amazon with predictive-load data. We also like the on-screen keyboard much better this time around, as it seems to make fewer mistakes and is more responsive.
As always, you can expect the characteristically exhaustive Ars Technica review in the next few days. Like last time, we reserve the label "tablet" until we've really put the Fire HD through its paces. In the meantime, what questions do you have about the Kindle Fire HD?

What to Watch: Taylor Swift reveals 'I Knew You Were Trouble' inspiration
Trending topic
Taylor Swift has revealed the inspiration for her latest hit song, "I Knew You Were Trouble": British boy band member Harry Styles, Yahoo News reports. Styles and Swift dated for the first time in the spring of 2012, and Swift wrote the song after their relationship ended. The couple got back together this fall, after her relationship with Conor Kennedy ended. The couple broke up again in January, ironically around the same time "I Knew You Were Trouble" was becoming a hit. Styles isn't the only ex who has a song on Swift's "Red" album: "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is reportedly about Jake Gyllenhaal, while "Starlight" is reportedly about Kennedy.

Ken Jeong bares his soul - and body - in 'Hangover 3'
Though he stole all audience attention away from every other actor in his brief scene as Dr. Kuni in "Knocked Up," no one was ready for Ken Jeong's intro in "The Hangover." He leaped out of a car trunk, wearing only black socks, and proceeded to beat the tar out of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis with a tire iron. That's right, wearing only black socks. His Mr. Chow eventually became an important character in that film and its sequel. In "The Hangover Part III," Chow, naked again, of course, is quite often the center of attention. The doctor-turned-actor, who is also a regular on the TV show "Community," chatted recently in Las Vegas.
Why do you like to be naked onscreen so much?
Chow originally had clothes on in the first one. It was my idea to have him be naked. I was really nervous, asking [director] Todd Phillips if it was OK, that it would be funny to do it naked. And Todd said, "You don't have to tell me twice." He immediately gave me a nudity waiver to sign because he didn't want me to change my mind. I just wanted to service that script. I've got nothing to brag about. I wasn't trying to show off. It was a character choice, not a personal choice. I'm a happily married father of twin 5-year-old girls. I don't even like to take off my shirt at the beach. I'm really shy. I'm not an exhibitionist. I'm very demure about my body. But an actor acts, that's why I do what I do. You've gotta make fearless choices to be an actor. Otherwise everyone would do it.
What did your wife say about it?
I'm no dummy. I cleared it with my wife before I told Todd. My wife and I both love comedy. I said to her, "I think he should be naked - what do you think?" She's very secure, has the best sense of humor in the world, and she said – this is my wife, my best friend, my partner in life – she said, "I guarantee 'The Hangover' will be the feel-good movie of the summer because every guy will go home feeling good about themselves."
What about your parents?
I told my parents I was going to be naked in "The Hangover." My dad has a great sense of humor. He saw it and he loved it. But my mother is a little more traditional and conservative, and I didn't want to offend her sensibilities in any way. So we actually forbade her to see it for two months. She finally did see it, and said, "I loved it! Why do you underestimate me? It's funny!"
Who was Chow on the page when you first read the script, and how did you change him?
Chow was originally written for a 60-year old man. It was another audition I was going in for, and thinking, "Asian guy, 60 years old; I ain't gonna get this, yet this is the only audition I've got all year." I only had four lines to read, so I went in, auditioned for Todd, and I had the most inspired audition ever. I was yelling and cursing and improvising for about 10 minutes. And Todd was going, "This guy is insane. I must hire him." So I got the part.
Did you know that "Part III" was going to be as Chow-centric as it is?
When Chow goes to prison in the second movie, I was thinking to myself – as the insecure actor – "I just hope I have a part in the third one." And then for me to have the biggest role of my career in this one ... I'm so moved and flattered by it, I still don't think I fully comprehend how big this is. I made sure I was prepared. I made sure I brought my "A" game to this movie.
Now that the series is over, where do you go from here?
I used to be a doctor. I quit that to become a working actor. I just wanted lines in movies. That's all I wanted and still all I want; the fame and fortune wasn't the goal. On "Community" I wanted to see how small I could do it. I know I can do other moves, and that's all I want to do right now. I may fail, but that's fine. The ultimate failure is not trying at all, so I just want to keep doing what I do.
Have we seen the last of Mr. Chow?
Out of all the characters I've done, I love Chow the most. I quit my day job to pursue imagination, and Mr. Chow represents a wide spectrum of imagination. You can say or do anything with that character. I'd love it if there was a Chow spinoff.
"The Hangover Part III" opens on May 23.
