"We have used many different companies in the past for our security, and always found the standard to be low, and the prices high. I am pleased to say this is not the case with SWC Security. The standard of guard has been exceptional, and the prices extremely competitive. Many of their guards often go above and beyond the call of duty.
We are a fast moving business, with a premium retail product, and have been quite a demanding client, but we always receive prompt, excellent responses, and feel nothing is too much trouble. In an area of our business that can be stressful, SWC Security have helped keep calm. Our relationship with SWC Security is built upon trust, loyalty and friendship.
I would highly recommend them to any other business out there – you will be not regret using this company."

After a lot of hand-wringing and guilty-conscience-wrestling I've decided that it's time for me to give up maintaining tuneup-js. For those who still use this tool I don't feel like I'm a very good steward for it any more. I don't have the time to closely review the pull-requests generous contributors send me. Not only is this a disservice to those who would contribute, but I can no longer cast a watchful eye on the overall direction and code-quality of tuneup.
So I have to at once plead for help and obstinately put my foot down. I think tuneup deserves a better maintainer than me and I hope there is a good soul out there willing to take on this challenge. I also have to carve boundaries out in my life and these days tuneup is at the bottom of the inbox. So, until a new maintainer is found, I won't be accepting any new pull-requests, publishing any new releases or fixing any issues filed against the project.
Do I feel bad about abandoning this project? To certain extent, yes. But life moves on and I have other things that require my attention. If I hung onto every obligation I ever accumulated in life I'd never have the time to do the things I truly love to do.
If you or someone you know might be interested in becoming a maintainer please get in touch with me. Tuneup deserves it.

I just noticed that when I start my truck and it's cold, meaning having to wait to start it... the alternator gauge sits at about 12 volts for approximately 20-30 seconds then climbs to it's normal operating range.
Now if it's warm,, not sitting long, it goes right up to normal range.
Is this normal? Seems like there is some sort of time delay restricting output when it's cold.
That's normal. What you are seeing is the intake air heater. It is on for around 30 seconds or so depending upon the ambient air temperature. When it is running it draws a good deal of amperage which is why the volt gauge is a little slow to recover.
That answers that, I didn't know I had and intake air heater, did notice my voltmeter running low for a short while after startup.

CDA aims to provide opportunities to youth and women to explore, enhance and utilize their knowledge, capabilities and skills to improve their status in the society and earn appropriate recognition of their contributions .
The high risk behaviors, lack of awareness and involvement of youth and women in decision / policy making, huge power distance and discriminatory laws and customs encouraged CDA to envisaged plan of actions to empower both the vulnerable groups. The mission of CDA is to "improve the status of youth particularly young women enabling them to equally and actively participate in planning, management, decision / policy making and execution of their plans without any biases of gender, religion, status, or language for the creation of a healthy, just, peaceful, and democratic society".

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has announced that the VAT rate increase from 14% to 15% effective April 1, 2018, is still moving forward. Under the South African Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991, Section 7(4), the Minister of Finance has the authority to announce in his budget speech a change in rate for VAT, along with an effective date for that change. This change is effective for a period of 12 months, until Parliament takes action.
In his 2018 Budget Speech, Minister Gigaba announced that the VAT rate was to increase to 15% starting April 1, 2018. Although Parliament has yet to rule on this increase, it will go into effect at that time and will remain effective until legislative action is taken, or the period of 12 months expires.
SARS has published documentation explaining the VAT increase, which can be found here. In addition, information and supporting documents for the Minister of Finance's Budge Speech 2018 can be found here.

The business that is now Graham Barclay Marine Pty Ltd was born in 1965 when former Australian and World rated skiing champion Graham Barclay was lured into the commercial side of the sport. Born and bred to an oyster farming family in Tuncurry, Graham had moved into water- skiing after a successful career in first grade rugby league, where he played for St George and Canterbury.
A badly damaged cruciate ligament (in the knee) ended his playing career. Back home a with a 500 pound parting bonus he received from Canterbury helped him buy a speed boat and he started getting serious about waterskiing.
With the coaching assistance of the legendary Fred Williams, Graham went on to win state and national titles and at the peak of his career, he placed third in the World in a Slalom Event at the Championships in Milan Italy, in 1959.
During his career, Graham had been persuaded to use Outboard Marine Australia motors in his waterskiing, and had posed for their advertisements. Their Sales manager suggest he try selling a few, and, thanks to his association with the brand, his initial attempts were a big success.
People started knocking on the door of Graham's flat in Macintosh Street looking for more. So he sold more. He then tried selling boats with a similar response.
Graham entered the industry formally in 1965 and took on Johnson outboard's and Quintrex boat franchises for Forster. He moved into premises on the Tuncurry waterfront in the early 70s and the business grew and grew, taking on other franchises.
About mid 1975 Graham sold out and followed other business interests. But before long he was missing his boats and motors and returned to them in Kularoo Drive premises in 1985. Again the business grew and grew, covering mainly the Great Lakes, Manning and Hunter area's but thanks to national level advertising, new boats have gone as far as Western Australia, Lord Howe Island, Gold Coast and Tasmania.
In 1995, the business moved again to a large and impressive complex on the Lakes Way Forster where we are today.
Today you'll find we stock such brands as Quintrex and Ocean Master,Yellowfin and Bayliner boats we carry Yamaha motors also a huge range of chandlery lines electronics and ski equipment and accessories, as well as a large range of personal watercraft from Sea-Doo and the full range of Hobie kayaks. All of them are sold by knowledgeable and experienced staff who offer down to earth advice and excellent after sales service.

Tattoo removal rates experience a dramatic spike; experts attribute the increase to the pressures of a highly competitive job market.
Laser tattoo removal procedures increased by 32 percent from 2011 to 2012, according to a survey conducted by The Patient's Guide, a leading online skincare destination.
"We've seen a marked increase in tattoo removal laser appointments," said Jasson W. Gilmore, CEO & Co-Founder of The Patient's Guide. "The increased awareness of laser tattoo removal, economic pressure and the explosion in tattoo popularity have all converged to drive up demand for this procedure."
In many cases, job applicants fear that the presence of a visible tattoo will not only prevent them from receiving job offers, but will also limit their career advancement opportunities after they have accepted a position.
"There's been a significant increase in the number of patients who desire tattoo removal for career advancement or for employment reasons," says Dr. Eric Bernstein, renowned laser expert and Associate Clinical Professor at University of Pennsylvania. "I think this is as wrong as any other kind of discrimination, but patients tell me that their tattoos are affecting their professional lives. Many feel that their body could be holding them back and this has resulted in more folks seeking tattoo removal."
In general, highly visible tattoos are considered to be a handicap during the interview process. Although job seekers can take measures to cover up or minimize tattoos for job interviews, the employer may expect them to continue to cover up the tattoo(s) after they have been hired. Consequently, some job applicants choose to take their chances and allow their body art to remain visible from the start.

Interestingly enough for both of our girls the largest issue was that they had assignments missing. More interesting is that the work was finished just not turned in.
Of course this is very frustrating for parents and teachers; however the situation was easily remedied.
While attending conferences with our oldest daughter there was some more concern over her math grade. She was doing ok, and, struggling to keep up.
In our high school there are two options for freshman algebra. The first option is a two trimester class and the second option is a three trimester class. Both cover the exact same material one is just a bit slower.
Our daughter's math teacher voiced some concern and promised to keep an eye on her.
Shortly after conferences he contacted my wife and myself and suggested we move her to the three trimester math class.
Our daughter was less than thrilled about this idea. So we talked it through and she reassured us that she was understanding the work better and the issue was isolated to one section.
We gave her the space she needed.
As time has progressed we have noticed that she does work very hard at her math homework. Attends study groups and is still struggling.
My wife and I talked about the distinct possibility of having to make that decision and be ok with her not being happy with us.
Today our daughter sent a text from school asking my wife to email Mr. B and asked to be moved to the other class.
As a parent I was fully prepared to make the right choice and put her in the class that she needs to be in. Also, I am really glad that we gave her the space and time she needed to wrestle with the situation and make the decision herself.
In my opinion too many times parents rush into situations like this and prevent their child from learning valuable life lessons. There is no way we would have let her fail and at the same time she will be much more motivated to participate in the class that she is choosing to be in. She will not see this move as a punishment but as a help.
Furthermore this exercise was another step toward adulthood for her. We allowed her to be somewhat autonomous with a safety net. I believe in the long run this will allow her to continue to make good choices for herself. Let's face it we will not always be available to help her make good choice so it's crucial that she learn how to do this now.
Allow your children the time and space they need to make some smaller choices by themselves. As they grow allow them opportunities to make more important choices by themselves. Even allow them to make wrong choices; failure is a part of life.

A strange field in a rural part of America is filled with huge 'heads of state'- literally.
Some of these giant busts are as tall as 20 feet and they weigh as much as between 11,000 and 20,000lbs. Some of them have cracks and seem to be crumbling, and this only adds to the mystery and eerieness.
ALSO READ: Talented artist draws stunning portrait of first lady, Michelle Obama
They are housed on a private property that is not available to the public, the farm of Howard Hankins, located in Croaker, Virginia, USA.
The sculptures came into Howard's possession back in 2012, when the Presidents Park, a location that allowed the public to visit and walk between the busts, closed in 2012.
Hankins was asked if he would destroy the busts, but he decided to bring them to his farm, a 400 acre spread. Some of the dents and cracks in the sculptures were sustained when they were being moved.
For example, Abraham Lincoln's head has a big hole in the back. Ronald Reagan has a crack on his face while some other leaders of the free world do not have some parts of their noses anymore.
Hankins hopes that the bust will be used to educate people once more. He has been working with local government authorities to find a new location for the busts.

The GracesBook - 2016
Everyone loves the Graces. Fenrin, Thalia, and Summer Grace are captivating, wealthy, and glamorous. They've managed to cast a spell over not just their high school but also their entire town--and they're rumored to have powerful connections all over the world. If you're not in love with one of them, you want to be them. Especially River: the loner, new girl at school. She's different from her peers, who both revere and fear the Grace family. She wants to be a Grace more than anything. But what the Graces don't know is that River's presence in town is no accident.
This fabulously addictive fantasy combines sophisticated and haunting prose with a gut-punching twist that readers will be dying to discuss. Perfect for fans of We Were Liars as well as nostalgic classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the 1996 movie The Craft , The Graces marks the beginning of a new wave of teen witches.

There wasn't a substantial plot with this one. You had an idea on why River was trying to be friends with The Graces and there were hints here and there throughout the story on what River was really wanting to do all this time. You're pretty much following River as she makes friends and tries to be part of the in crowd with The Graces.
I didn't really like River that much in the beginning. You knew why she was wanting to befriend them however at the same time she had a great friendship with Summer and you were hoping nothing would spoil it.
The Graces did have a certain charm to them but at the same time there was also something strange. They're close knit, secretive, and not your average family. They already had their secrets to start with, and of all the three I'd have to like Summer the most. She was the outspoken one and the rule breaker with at least some semblance of sense and logic that her two siblings didn't have (those that have read the book would know what I'm talking about).
Back to River. Oh darling. You know this could have gone well if you HAD JUST TOLD THEM. Sometimes I hate reading books where the protagonist has this huge secret because they tend to keep it to themselves until they finally realize it wouldn't help anymore but by that time, it would mess up a lot of things now would it? And all throughout the book you're screaming JUST. TELL. THEM. Sheesh.
Although I know I said I didn't really like her in the beginning, she redeemed herself in the last third of the book. I was expecting her to be sniveling, crying and pleading but she suddenly became this beacon of rage and I suddenly pulled a 180 and loved her instantly. She finally realized who she was and what she was capable of. She didn't need the Graces at all - well maybe she needed them to put her in the right direction but it was nice to see her pick herself up and be strong about it.
Loved the ending! Such a cliffhanger and I want to know what's going to happen next now that River has found herself. Sequel is coming out this year! So I'll be looking forward to it!

Why Do We Need An Attorney?
To present a legal affair that needs legal justice and solution, an attorney has been licensed to represent an individual in front of a court. By the application of his dexterity he serves public interest. An attorney is made to undergo a compliance of stringent duties that the state bar association imposes on him, once he finishes his educational degree. An attorney can be penalized for violation of law if he do not work according to these guidelines.
All over the United States, consumer dissatisfaction with lawyers is on an all-time high. It is thus not only a matter of getting an attorney in North Carolina; rather it is more about finding an attorney like David Turlington who is reliable, honest and capable of handling the case at hand. The several specialties that law as a profession provides has made it even more tough for a layman to clearly recognize and find an attorney who will be able to effectively represent him. There are several books, places, or people who can greatly assist in finding an expert and trust-worthy attorney.
Generally attorneys might practice law, or they can focus on a particular field. For example, an attorney who deals with cases that involve personal injury cases is called a personal injury attorney. Such an attorney is said to be holding specialty in a particular field. There are a few basic duties that all attorneys must fulfill irrespective of the fact that there are specific guidelines for different types of attorneys. These duties are discussed as follows:
- Duty of an attorney towards a client - It is the chief duty of an attorney to be certain that his client is getting all the benefits that he is supposed to get as per the legal rules and regulations. He must make his client feel at ease by exercising a healthy communication with him. It is the only responsibility of an attorney to make his client apprehend the allegations that are involved in his case. Regarding the progress of a case, he must provide adequate information and must provide him or her with his realistic opinions. About a specified case, a client must be well informed by his attorney.
- Duties of an attorney towards the court - Attorneys are generally called to be officers of a court. When it comes to dealings inside a courtroom, they have certain duties to serve. A court follows a code of conduct and decorum. An attorney must fulfil all these regulations and rules. In front of a court, he must present oral testimonials regarding a case, plainly stating the details with precision.
- Duties of an attorney towards the law - In a justice system, an attorney is supposed to be one of the most important persons involved. He cannot take part in frivolous lawsuits as he needs to follows the legal rules. Also, he must file a report to his higher officials, if he holds knowledge regarding any misconduct of another lawyer.
Usually, a common person cannot comprehend legal impediments and hence he should seek the assistance of an expert, professional attorney like David Turlington of North Carolina.

Step 1: Interview the Grievant
Listen well. Most of your time should be spent listening. Let the other person do most of the talking. Listen attentively and sympathetically. Let the grievant express his feelings about what has happened. Don't rush the conversation. Give the person time to say what needs to be said. The grievant may be upset, so ride with the storm. Don't get emotionally involved and let anger prevent an understanding of what is at the heart of all this.
Ask questions. Your job is to get the facts of the case. Don't settle for generalities and vague statements such as, "They're giving me too much work" or "She just doesn't like me." Try to get the full story by asking for details: dates, examples, witnesses. Be sure to take detailed notes so there is a record to check.
Next, recap the story and ask the grievant to correct anything you have misstated.
Step 2: Gather Facts
Find witnesses. Talk to people who may have witnessed the incident or be able to verify facts in the grievant's story. Interview witnesses separately. This will bring out any inconsistencies. Don't settle for hearsay. Get your information directly from the people involved, not second- or third-hand. If someone says, "Billy told me that..." or "Maria heard..." go talk to Billy or Maria and find out directly from them what happened. Investigate thoroughly until you are satisfied you have a clear picture of what happened.
Check the files. You have a right to get information from the employer to process a grievance in an informed manner. For example, if an employee is disciplined for absenteeism, you have a right to see attendance records. Check the contract, workplace rules, federal and state laws, the records of your local and any other relevant documents. Find out what past practices have been. Have other workers with similar records been treated the same way?
Step 3: Analyze the Facts
Is it a grievance? There are two kinds of grievances—disciplinary and nondisciplinary.
In a disciplinary grievance, the employer has disciplined an employee. If the employee, through the union, files a grievance to protest the discipline, the employer generally must prove there was "just cause" for its action. Your job is to determine if there was, in the union's view, just cause.
There are seven tests of just cause:
- Notice. Did managers tell the employee what level of performance was expected? Did the employer give the employee (and, in some contracts, the union) reasonable notice that discipline would be meted if the employee's actions continued?
- Reasonable work rule. Is the rule the employee is accused of violating a reasonable rule for the work she is doing?
- Investigation before discipline. Did management investigate and verify the charge before taking action?
- Fair investigation. Were managers fair in their investigation? Or did they stack the deck by overemphasizing certain facts and points, perhaps taking them out of context?
- Proof. Does management have enough facts to prove the employee actually committed an infraction, or are supervisors relying on hearsay?
- Equal treatment. Is the employee being treated any differently than other employees in the same situation?
- Punishment fits the crime. Did the punishment seem punitive and vindictive rather than corrective and remedial? Did the discipline follow the alleged misconduct within a reasonable time? Was it consistent with the idea of progressive discipline—that is, was there slight punishment for a first offense, harsher punishment for the second and so on? Did management overreact? Did the discipline violate any conditions of the contract, work rules or law?
If the grievance does not involve discipline, the union or employee has to prove its case. You must provide evidence that management is guilty of one of the following:
- Violation of the contract,
- Violation of past practices,
- Illegal discrimination,
- Violation of state or federal laws or the employer's rules.
Step 4: Write the Grievance
After you have gathered all the facts, write a short, concise statement of the grievance that includes the six W's:
- WHO was involved in the incident?
- WHEN did the incident take place?
- WHAT happened? Explain this in clear, direct terms.
- WHERE exactly did the incident take place?
- WHY is this a grievance (contract violation, disciplinary action, etc.)?
- WHAT SETTLEMENT or corrective action does the union want?
Many unions use a grievance form that helps you organize the results of your investigation. If your union provides such a form, fill it out thoroughly.
Step 5: File the Grievance
Every contract has its own rules and time limits for filing grievances. You must know the time limits and meet them. Also, you should keep the grievants and the union informed of any actions you take.
Step 6: Present the Grievance
Under law, when dealing with management on workplace issues, including grievances, you are the equal of management and should act and be treated that way. Establish a cordial but businesslike relationship.
For the same reason, when meeting with management on union business, you have every right to request to meet in a conference room or similarly neutral area rather than the boss's office.
When presenting the grievance, remember your role is to win and to keep the union strong. You are not there to make the supervisor look bad or to show what a genius you are. You do not win friends and influence people by going in and pounding on the desk. It only stiffens the opposition's resolve. The surest way to win is to find out what the supervisor really wants, and then show, if possible, that both sides most likely will get what they want by resolving the grievance at this point.
When presenting the case, stick to facts. Do not add opinions or hearsay. Get to the main point of the supervisor's argument: Try to narrow the differences between management and the union by presenting options that will benefit both sides. And remember that a good negotiator also is a good listener. The more the supervisor talks, the more he may reveal about motives and desires regarding the grievance. Or you may pick up information to help fashion a solution or gain knowledge that will help win the grievance now or in the future.
Finally, to avoid any future misunderstanding, make sure all agreements with management on a solution are in writing. If you and management cannot come to a mutually satisfactory agreement, know what your next step will be. Check your contract for options. Many contracts provide for arbitration if the two parties cannot agree.

TAMMY: I'll come right out and say it. I don't get ovals. Open-wheel is OK, but my heart is with sportscars on road courses. Even sportscars on street coursees. But ovals ... sure, I'll watch them ... but I don't understand the appeal.
TAMMY: Rally drivers are nuts. Bonkers. Loopy. I mean, I sort of get it? But there's no real course, there are spectators everywhere, and you're highly likely to run straight into a tree. You people are nuts. But really, my fundamental problem with anything that isn't sportscar racing is single classes! Boring. Look how much fun it is to watch the strategy and the passing and the (controlled) chaos of multi-class racing. Two to five classes of cars on course at the same time, crazy speed differentials? Awesome. Just look at Le Mans last weekend. Awesome! I think multi-class racing requires an extra level of skill in planning on the driver's part that I find really, really cool to watch.
TAMMY: I see, Obi Wan. What about the rest of you? What kind of racing is your favorite?

Some day there will be a building at Ground Zero and not just a vast pit. Some day, I'm told, there'll be a park and a memorial.
But more likely, it'll be all about commerce and business. About people moving on and not looking back. I like how we Americans do that. I just hope we don't forget this.
Ground Zero isn't just a death scene, it's a crime scene. People were murdered here. Families were blown apart here. And it was perpetrated here and at the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania.
Multiple murder scenes: scenes that shouldn't only be memorials to lives lost, but reminders to lives that still could be lost if we forget, if we gloss over the ugly. If we fail to show the planes hitting those towers, the people jumping from those towers and the brave rescue workers doomed in those towers.
The images are raw and ugly and frightening. And, save a quick glance on a round-number anniversary, they are few — if any.
We can't stand to look. I say, we can't stand not to.
Those who wished us ill then hope we are getting forgetful now, of the brutality committed here and the crime scene that is here.
Because long before Iraq and Afghanistan and weapons of mass destruction, they plotted "our" destruction, "our" murder.
They killed people here. So let's not sanitize what happened here.
We owe it not only to the dead. We owe it more, to all those who still live.

They may also acquire development sites believing them to be free of contamination, only to discover contamination during demolition, site preparation or excavation. Our Construction Services department has the expertise and experience to help owner-developers manage the environmental risks involved in acquiring development sites, and to assist those who discover contamination on their construction job sites.+ READ MORE
Cole Schotz submitted an exemption application to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on behalf of a client, and was granted one of the first exemptions under the newly enacted Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act. Signed into law a month before the exemption was granted, the Act strictly limits development in the New Jersey Highlands, including all or part of Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Hunterdon, Warren, Somerset and Sussex counties. Had the Act applied, it would have completely blocked the client's proposed development.
On behalf of a Fortune 100 retail client, we successfully negotiated, with the New Jersey Department of Commerce and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, an Agreement to Reimburse for Remediation Costs under the Brownfields and Contaminated Site Remediation Act. The agreement directed the state to reimburse our client for up to 75% of the remediation costs necessary for a site redevelopment in an Urban Enterprise Zone in Newark. The project involved Newark's condemnation of a large parcel consisting of dilapidated residential, commercial and industrial properties to allow for the proposed retail development. Now, this former brownfield has provided a boost to the local and state economy through the creation of jobs and generation of tax revenue.
Our client, the property owner, was required to clean up environmental contamination at his property resulting from prior operation of a chemical manufacturing plant at the site. To expedite the cleanup in order to facilitate the development and construction of a supermarket, our team used a three-pronged approach. First, we negotiated a guaranteed cleanup cost contract with an environmental consultant, under which the consultant agreed to complete the remediation for no more than a fixed price. Second, using that contract, we negotiated an environmental insurance policy with an insurance carrier to cover the risk of cost overruns to clean up the known contamination, the cost to clean up newly discovered contamination and liability for third-party lawsuits for property damage and bodily injury. Once these negotiations were completed, the client was able to negotiate a contract to sell the property to the developer. The cleanup proceeded and the soil contamination was quickly resolved, allowing the supermarket development and construction to move forward to completion. The groundwater remediation will continue while the supermarket operates, without causing any significant interference. We then successfully pursued cost recovery actions against the site's prior owners and operators; neighbors on whose property contamination was discharged that had migrated onto the client's site; and the client's business liability insurance carriers.
Prior to construction, our client's environmental due diligence activities revealed the presence of 81 underground storage tanks (USTs) with associated soil and groundwater contamination. Our client successfully implemented a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)-approved remedial action, including removing the 81 USTs and excavating 3,600 tons of contaminated soil. During construction, our client discovered an 11 more USTs. With NJDEP's expedited approval, our client removed the tanks along with the contaminated soil and kept to their construction schedule without significant delay. The NJDEP then issued a soils only No Further Action Letter, triggering our client's ability to recover up to 75% of its remediation costs with respect to soil remediation costs pursuant to its brownfields agreement with the State. Our client installed flush-mounted permanent groundwater monitoring wells in the finished parking area to monitor the groundwater. Thereafter, NJDEP issued an Entire Site, Unrestricted No Further Action Letter indicating the entire site is clean. Our client will now be able to recover 75% of the environmental costs incurred during the cleanup.

Bloody Knuckles is a film that sets out to push as many hot buttons as it can in regard to revelling in the offensive and downrightly bad taste. Alas, it feels like a film that has arrived about twenty years too late and is flogging a particular sub-genre that hit its peak during the late 1980s/early 1990s with films such as Re-Animator (1985), Peter Jacksons Bad Taste (1988) and Meet the Feebles (1990), and of course the principal output of Troma Films with works such as The Toxic Avenger (1986), Class of Nuke Em High (1986) and Surf Nazis Must Die (1987), among others. It may say something when you can sit watching a film with plentiful gore and meltdown effects, swastika-daubed vibrators, dubious racial humour and masked gay avengers who come wearing leather fetish gear and gimp masks, and end up feeling more bored by the films efforts to offend you than you ever do in laughing at its un-PC outrages.
I hate the use of the phrase trying too hard as a critical term I think everybody who sets out to make a film, especially those on reduced budgets, work as hard as they can and such a term diminishes earnest effort. It seems one of those vague phrases that people wave around when they refer to a film that seems to be jumping about saying look at this and trying to draw your attention to an effect they are trying to achieve. Bloody Knuckles feels like that. Surely the extent to which it misses its mark is the fact that rather than the gonzo cartoonish energy that fires up most of the above mentioned, this is a film that seems to be doing the very Canadian thing and apologising for being offensive, or at least has several speeches where characters are trying to justify being offensive as artistically necessary. To me, this is the kiss of death. Troma, Peter Jackson et al never concerned themselves with trying to justify their actions, they were like schoolboys trying to be naughty and throw as much muck as they could in the direction of the stiff and uptight gatekeepers of proper morality.
Aside from that, Bloody Knuckles feels like no more than a warmed-over version of Oliver Stones The Hand (1981) there is a great deal of similarity between the central plots of both that feature a comic-book artist whose hand is severed and returns to take revenge on his tormentors. Even before that there has been a long history of films about disembodied hands going all the way back to The Beast With Five Fingers (1946) and passing through the likes of Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957), The Crawling Hand (1963), Dr Terrors House of Horrors (1964) and the more spoofy likes of The Evil Dead II (1987), Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992), Quicksilver Highway (1997) and Idle Hands (1999), not to mention a disembodied hand becoming a regular character in tvs The Addams Family (1964-6).

15 Dec The Costly Red Tape Burden In Australia's Gas Industry
My firm recently published another paper in its series called Building The Lucky Country (BTLC), this one on Australia's national productivity, called Get Out Of Your Own Way. You can find the paper here, and if you're pressed for time, check out the video version here. The series is about securing Australia's prosperity, and the prosperity equation is that our nation get wealthy when more of our workers actually work, when other nations pay us more for what we make or sell, and when we become more productive making what we sell. The paper points out that Australia is absolutely champion at writing up regulations and rules to govern behaviour of individuals and companies, and this self-imposed RED TAPE is sapping our productivity. Improving our productivity is key to securing Australia's prosperity as our population ages and commodity prices moderate. The paper was silent on the productivity of the gas industry (although it did touch mining), which begs the question on how Queensland's gas industry is faring. Here's my view.
Measuring Productivity in Gas
The oil and gas industry, for all its immense size, is actually not a big employer of people. It's really all about making the assets in the industry as fully utilised and efficient as possible, so the prosperity equation (more people working, more efficient people, higher prices) doesn't quite fit. Improving the prosperity of the industry is more about getting the most gas possible from the fewest number of gas wells, minimising the cost of the wells, keeping the gas wells running at their peak for as long as possible, making the people involved in getting gas to market as productive as possible, minimising the cost of the various assets required to handle the gas (such as pipelines, water treatment, compression, processing plants, LNG plant), which means larger and more highly utilised assets, keeping those assets running at their peak, and selling LNG for the highest possible price. So how are we doing?
Not too bad, but not great
Let's deal with pricing of the product. In case you're not watching too closely, the price of LNG has tumbled recently with the fall in oil prices. So strike one – we're not going to receive the high prices of 6 months ago for our product. Further, there's loads of competition on the horizon which means the future price of LNG won't likely be as high. And our pricing formula (LNG priced with reference to oil) ties us to oil prices, which we don't control. Oil markets look over supplied, so lower prices are here for a while. Therefore we need to get our productivity improvements elsewhere.
What about the gas wells? The industry is getting better at finding the best places to drill so as to minimise the number of gas wells it needs, but there isn't a lot of experience yet in maximising the production of gas from the wells (call it a work in progress), or keeping them running at peak for longer. This challenge will fix itself in time as we get more experience with dewatering, optimisation, operations, LNG production, and so forth. And the industry will need to learn how to identify when gas wells should be abandoned rather than providing them with a continuous flow of services to keep them running.
What about minimising the gas processing assets and their costs? It's a bit late to challenge whether the industry has overbuilt its assets, or paid too much, and hindsight is always perfect. If the industry had to do it all over again, would we see three pipelines to Gladstone, three LNG plants? Probably yes. And across Australia's other LNG projects, the average cost increase is 25% above the original planning numbers. Not doing too well here: strike two.
How about the people? The three Queensland gas projects generally feel that there's still too many people in the field. The projects and their various contractors and suppliers have multiple layers of supervision, for example, to help offset low experience levels, and supervisory people cost more than front line workers. Reorganising the field work, and using technologies to allow supervision from a central spot will help.
So Where Is The Red Tape?
The gas industry is actually more like a combination of construction and mining, and that's where the RED TAPE lurks. We've been building gas infrastructure (gas wells, pipelines, gas plants, LNG plants) for the last 24 months or so, which are classic major capital construction projects. The analysis in BTLC shows that the construction and mining industries feature the fastest growing number of compliance workers as a share of overall workforce, and this would be true of the Queensland LNG industry too. Supervisors, health and safety, inspectors, testors, heritage monitors, community liaison. The list goes on.
The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, in its recent review of Australia's LNG sector, pointed out that Australia's construction sector is between 40%-90% more expensive than its equivalent in the US. A big chunk of that excess cost is related to RED TAPE.
Here's a few examples of some of the rules in the gas industry that really need to be revisited.
• Equipment washing. One of the rules in the sector is that equipment must be washed when it is moved from field to field. This makes sense – we don't want to transfer seeds and insects from one field to another. But the rule is meant for moving equipment between fields, not within a single field. Some contractors interpret the rule to mean decontaminating kit for every move, to provide assurance that there will be no contamination. But this adds thousands of dollars in cost because the equipment, its trailers and trucks need to loaded up after use, hauled to a registered wash-down site, and hauled back.
• Well head design. Well heads need to be strong enough to contain pressure from underground coal measures and eliminate blow outs. Gas wells in Queensland vary greatly in pressure, but for a very sizeable number, the pressure is quite low (like bicycle tire pressure). To date, engineering rules require that well heads be rated for the maximum possible pressure that could be theoretically encountered anywhere (making them larger, heavier, more costly to install) so as to assure there will be zero possibility of a well blow out.
• Supervision. It's a standard practice in the oil and gas industry that drill sites have a "company man" on site to support drilling activities. This makes sense when each well is uniquely designed or there's lots of uncertainties in the geology. But that's no longer the case in Queensland where there are thousands of wells and the industry is trying to make them as similar to each other as possible.
• Impact statement reporting. The Queensland projects have thousands of reporting requirements associated with their environmental impact statements. Complying with all these requirements entails staff training, incremental data collection, special reporting, additional systems, etc, none of which can be recovered by charging the customer more for the LNG.
This Is Costing Us
There's a price to this RED TAPE. One of Queensland's gas projects estimates that its gas field workers are at best 33% productive, spending the majority of their time travelling to and from well sites, or performing admin tasks, rather than making sure gas wells are working to their peak. The contractors that I've worked with believe that their workforce is about 40% productive. There's a lot of stand-around time, early quits, late starts, travel, etc. That's enough anecdotal evidence to think there's a prize worth pursuing. In hard math terms, assuming the gas industry will be 2.6% of Australia's $1.9 trillion GDP, and that RED TAPE is fully 13% of GDP (according to the BTLC calculations), then the RED TAPE prize in the gas industry is 13% of 2.6% of GDP, or $6.4 billion. Ok, you have my attention.
Working On It
The industry has a multi-headed program underway to understand its producivity pressures.
• APPEA has a productivity committee comprised of the projects and a few key suppliers to look at improvement possibilities.
• The three active Queensland projects have a set of working teams tackling upstream and downstream engineering issues.
• All of the projects are working hard to extract costs by removing people from the field and trimming head office staffing levels.
But what else could be done? I've written several times about cost reduction (here, here , here, here). Contact me with your ideas.

|Testimonial by Randy Wong
My wife, daughter and I stayed at this condo unit for one week in May and it offered everything that we were looking for -close to the beach and the zoo, a kitchen, separate bedroom, swimming pool, and very close to the city bus lines and the zoo.
We found Merry to be very responsive to any questions and she was helpful in her suggestions re: activities. Everything went smoothly from her recommendations of a taxi company to accessing the keys to the unit, and arranging a parking space for the days that we rented a car.
We had a great vacation and are already planning a return trip!

Brett King, a former Performing Arts learner at the Grimsby Institute, is heading off for a career in Hollywood, with support from the Grimsby Institute, local businesses and individuals.
23-year-old Brett trained for a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts at the Grimsby Institute before completing training at Huddersfield University for a Degree in Acting. Now Brett has been chosen from thousands of hopefuls for one of only 16 places on the Masters Degree in Acting for TV & Film at the New York Film Academy where he will be training in Los Angeles, California.
Brett was offered the place last year but, due to lack of funds, took the decision to defer for a year while he raised the £45,000 needed to spend a year in the USA.
Brett, who cites Tom Hanks as his acting inspiration, said: "During the first week I'll be appearing on NCIS Los Angeles and then after that I'll be taught by people like Ben Stiller and Steven Spielberg, Jackie Chan does fight choreography, and I'll be flitting between Universal Studios and Warner Brothers Studios to study and it's all done through film and television.
"It feels phenomenal to be going. I've dreamt about this since I was younger and I don't think the reality will hit me until I'm on that plane. It's a fantastic feeling to know that, no matter what your background, as long as you work hard and believe in yourself other people will believe in you.
"Everyone has supported me and it's been fantastic and I think that's going to push me even further. When I get to America I will work my hardest and do everything I can to make sure I don't let these people down that have supported me."
Brett was originally planning a career as a Surgeon before a tutor at the Grimsby Institute spotted his talent and persuaded him to enrol for the BTEC National Diploma. Now he hopes to be starring in inspirational, true-life films like Brave Heart, Top Gun and Pearl Harbour and will be flying out to the USA in early 2015.
Brett continued: "The training at Grimsby Institute was exceptional. We had a small group that meant we could work intimately. The tutor took time to guide us and I feel we just had the best training possible.
"If I ever get the chance to meet Tom Hanks I'd ask him how he does it, how he manages to stay the same but be different in every role he plays.
"If someone dreamed of becoming an Actor I'd tell them they have to be disciplined and determined. It's one of the hardest industries to get into and stick to education. Education can open so many doors and the more you learn the better you are equipped to deal with situations."

text: Also, Jake? That attitude about genitalia determining what bathroom to use is bs. Where I work, you use the bathroom of the gender you represent, there's a sign next to each door that says so. Does that mean some of the women in my building stand up to pee? Yes. And you know what? I know most of them, and I don't care. We girl talk just like anyone else. So if you don't like it, deal with it. 2014 is too late in the game for such bigotry.

Brit prison staff asked to address sex offenders, violent criminals as Mr!October 1st, 2008 - 5:47 pm ICT by ANI
London, Oct 1 (ANI): Lancashire prison staff has been asked to call their inmates, including sex offenders and violent criminals "Mr" a move which is a part of their "decency agenda".
According to the Prison Service''s national "decency agenda", management at the Wymott jail, which is run by governor Jayne Blake, the inmates must be called as "Mr", followed by their surname at all times.
In a joint letter, Ron Crosby, chairman of the Prison Officers" Association at Wymott, and deputy chairman Howie Probert said the test of the decency agenda is: "Would we as members of the prison service like our children to be treated in the same manner as prison staff treat prisoners today?"
"All serving prison staff buy into this agenda and treat prisoners decently and with humanity, even under exceptionally difficult circumstances," Telegraph quoted Probert, as saying.
A Prison Service spokesman said: "The Prison Service''s decency agenda has been in operation for over five years. It seeks to improve the well being of everyone in prison, staff and prisoners alike.
"Prisoners are addressed by their first names, preferred names or by using the term "Mr" and this is practice across the prison estate."
Earlier, an officer, who was assaulted by a violent inmate, was told that charges would be dropped unless he called his attacker "Mr" throughout the hearing, although the Prison Service denied this.
by local Labour MP Lindsay Hoyle, whose Chorley constituency includes the category C jail has condemned the move.
"It is an absolute disgrace," he said. "It is as though the inmates have taken over the asylum, she said.
"We ought to remember it is the prisoners that have done wrong, not the prison officers," she added.
The Liberal Democrat''s justice spokesman David Howarth added: "It is important that prisoners are treated with respect, but it is also important that prison officers are treated with respect. (ANI)

text: So I recently got a hacked 3ds on firmware 11.1.0. It didn't have free shop so I spent some time getting that to work properly. I am amazed how easy it is to just download games. Now of course I want the latest and greatest so I download the new Metroid. It seem I need to be on 11.4 to play the game. Can I just update the system via the internet without disabling the hack on the system?
