More than 500 job seekers turned to the Rock the Oilfield Job and Resource Event in Midland on Friday, an event organized by local Christian groups in hopes of offering relief to workers displaced by the oil bust.
Attendees offered accounts of the human toll wrought by the economic downturn driven by the region's premier industry. One couple, Kurt and Jennifer Rogers, said they drove all the way from the Fort Worth area to attend the event.
"We traveled four hours, but hey, it's worth it," Kurt Rogers said. "You've got to do something."
Both were living in the Bakersfield, Calif., area when they suffered layoffs from their oilfield jobs five months ago. Kurt Rogers had been a production manager at Occidental Petroleum with decades of experience. Jennifer Rogers had worked in the oilfield construction business.
"The work's dried up," Kurt Rogers said. "There's nothing."
And they said their layoffs came within a day of each other. Ultimately, they decided to rent their home and move to Texas, where they hoped to fare better.
But even as the Permian Basin continues to draw industry activity, regional oil prices hovering below $40 per barrel continue to hamper oil companies' ambitions — as of Friday, only 225 drilled in the region, fewer than half the amount active at this time last year — and layoffs continue.
Still, on Friday, the Rogers couple said they left with a few leads from the job fair, at the Rock the Desert complex on FM 1788,
Organizers of the event with First Baptist Church of Odessa's oilfield ministry and the local chapter of the Oilfield Christian Fellowship said they reached out to some 30 companies to attend the job fair. Fewer showed up, and most were not representatives of oil and gas companies, save for a few exceptions.
The volume of attendees, on the other hand, came as a surprise.
"I didn't expect to see a bust this quick or this severe," said Jesse Gore, the self-identified "boom pastor" with First Baptist. "I think for the most part, it catches people off guard when it drops, the price of oil."
Ben Grimes, an operations manager at one of the oilfield companies that came to the job fair, Midland-based BTA Oil Producers, estimated taking about 100 applications for an open position for work as a pumper in Glasscock County. Some were overqualified, some were just qualified, and others were not, Grimes said.
"It tells me a lot of people just got laid off," Grimes said, noting a wave of former employees from oilfield services companies including Baker Hughes and Halliburton. "It's been a rough two or three months."
Representatives of another oilfield company, Andrews-based Ervin Well Site Consultants, met with dozens of job seekers.
"We're taking resumes," said Eddie Veretto, a sales manager for the company. "We don't have demand for consultants right now, but you never know when the phone is going to ring."
In the meantime, Veretto said the main short-term benefit they hoped to offer attendees was spiritual support.
Indeed, part of the reason the groups organized the event was to offer ministry and spiritual support, said Damian Barrett, a reservoir engineer with Energen Corporation who serves as director of the Oilfield Christian Fellowship.
Attendees gathered in a room of the Rock the Desert skate park to watch a three-minute video preaching the gospel and tailored to energy workers. Organizers also handed out "God's Word for the Oil Patch: Fuel for the Soul" Bibles.
"Now, we want to help people, too, with jobs," Barrett said. "But that's important, too."
There were representatives of employers like H-E-B, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, who struggled to fill vacant positions when the oil boom was in full swing. A representative of the heavy equipment company Warren CAT also met with prospective applicants.
Some attendees suffered layoffs outside of the oilfield industry, like Midlander Steven Valles, who said he lost his IT job at My Community Federal Credit Union.
"I'm assuming because of the oil," Valles said about his job loss. "Credit unions are based on loans. You don't make loans, you don't make money."
Valles said he lost his job within the last few weeks, and luckily, had refinanced his home just before. He said he was considering a career change, maybe to selling insurance. Someone who works with an insurance company overheard him, and then they went to talk about a job.
Liza Jimenez sought to inspire people to pursue the same path she did when she was laid off from her job in human resources at SandRidge Energy this spring. Jimenez went to Medical Center Hospital for pay she said was comparable and now works as a recruiter.
On Friday, Jimenez said the hospital has more than 100 positions open and many that do not require a specialized degree like nursing does.
"Yes, oil and gas is great — that's why we are all here," said Jimenez, who gave out all of her 150 business cards. "But when times get hard, we all feel it. But Medical Center Hospital, or any type of position in the medical field really, you are always going to be guaranteed work."
Gore said he went through a similar ordeal in the 1980s after he lost an oilfield job. Afterwards, Gore started working for a predecessor of Oncor Electric Delivery, a career he would maintain for 20 years.
"That's what we foresee some of these people are going to have to do," Gore said.

Mechanical Engineering Department
Degree Name
BS in Mechanical Engineering
Lee McFarland, Frank Owen
This report provides a thorough description of the design of a hydraulic hand-operated press by mechanical engineering students at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California, for the Estrella Warbirds Museum in Paso Robles, California. It begins with research into hydraulic operations, a brief study of fluid power and incompressible fluids, and a look into existing products. Specified customer requirements stipulate the loading and general size constraints. As part of the project, a schedule is laid out following industry techniques. Brainstorming and decision matrices are utilized as well, conveying our design process. A basic structure is developed using strength of materials, beam bending theory, applied/allowable stress analysis, and material deflection. Additional features are developed based on a more specific investigation of customer requirements. This report not only covers the press design, but also documents its construction and testing of the structure. Cost analysis and material choices are relayed along with a complete set of engineering drawings for the manufacture of the press. Testing and failure modes are analyzed with an overall goal of customer safety in mind.

Pringles Goes Ambush at Wimbledon.../
Are you looking for unique ambush marketing ideas? Are you looking for for new ways to drive awareness on-site without owning rights to marks?
Pringles, a Procter & Gamble brand, recently took on Wimbledon with a creative ambush marketing campaign. As tennis fans lined up to head into Wimbledon's famous All England Club on July 1st, representatives distributed 24,000 specially marked Pringles"crisps" tubes that read, "These are not tennis balls!" (playing off the fact that Pringles tubes mirror the packaging that tennis balls are sold in).
Pringles drew extra attention to the campaign by featuring Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg look-a-likes (termed "doubles") on-hand to interact with consumers. According to Event Magazine, the guerrilla tactic gained coverage on Radio 1, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, and the Washington Business Journal.
The limited edition Pringles tubes were also sold at select retailers in Europe. Check out some pictures of the unique tennis themed packaging and execution below:

Absence of mitigating circumstances
|Appeal Judgement - 18.03.2010
BIKINDI Simon
194. The Appeals Chamber further considers that, contrary to the Prosecution's assertion,[1] the Trial Chamber was not obliged to accord "sufficient weight" to the absence of mitigating factors in this case, nor does the Prosecution cite any jurisprudence in support of this proposition. The Appeals Chamber considers that the Trial Chamber properly exercised its discretion when it examined the various mitigating factors advanced by the Appellant, and the submissions advanced by the Prosecution[2] and concluded that "there [were] no mitigating factors that should be taken into account in the determination of the sentence."[3] The Appeals Chamber finds no discernible error in this approach. In light of the foregoing, the Appeals Chamber finds that the Prosecution has failed to demonstrate that the Trial Chamber abused its discretion by failing to accord sufficient weight to the absence of any mitigating factors in this case.

Travellers flying from Brussels to a destination within the EU are assured that they get their flight in time as they arrive forty-five minutes before departure at Brussels airport.
If they miss their flight nevertheless, they get refunded the price of the ticket. Which announced the head of the airport in Zaventem, Arnaud Feist, Thursday on the French radio station Bel RTL.
The check-in at Brussels Airport have been tightened since the terrorist attacks on March 22, but according to Feist is now working more efficiently than before.
Travellers should still go through an additional check in tents outside before they can enter the departure hall. Feist said that these so-called pre-checks probably disappear by December, to make room for " other measures ".

Surrey Quays is a name given to a largely residential area of Rotherhithe in South-East London, occupied until 1970 by the Surrey Commercial Docks.
The precise boundaries of the area are somewhat amorphous, but it is generally reckoned to comprise the southern half of the Rotherhithe peninsula from Canada Water to South Dock; electorally, Surrey Docks is the eastern half of the peninsula. The Docks are called Surrey Docks because until 1900 the borders of Surrey and Kent met in this area.
After the closure of the docks, the area remained derelict for over a decade, with much of the warehousing demolished and over 90% of the docks filled in. The only surviving areas of open water were Greenland Dock, South Dock, part of Canada Dock (renamed Canada Water), remnants of Norway Dock, and a basin renamed Surrey Water. In 1981, the Conservative government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher established the London Docklands Development Corporation to redevelop the former dockyard areas of east London, including the Surrey Docks.
A massive building programme took place in the area during the late 1980s and early 1990s with 5,500 new homes being built, ranging from individual detached housing to large apartment complexes, such as Baltic Quay. South Dock was converted into a marina - now the largest in London - and a sailing facility (named Surrey Docks Watersports Centre) was constructed on Greenland Dock. The northern part of Canada Water and the in-filled Russia Dock, became wildlife reserves. Leisure facilities and a number of light industrial plants were also built, notably a new printing works for Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the London Evening Standard and the Daily Mail. Further planned phases of development at Canada Water began around 2005 and are ongoing.
The Surrey Quays area acquired its current name in 1989 when the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre was built on the in-filled southern part of Canada Water, and the nearby London Underground (now London Overground) station Surrey Docks was renamed Surrey Quays. The de facto renaming of the area was controversial at the time among the local community, some of whom felt that their history was being erased. Although "Surrey Docks" is still the name of the electoral ward, in practice the name "Surrey Quays" is more often used, including in official signage.

Prayer changes things
There are times when life is overwhelming, chaos surrounds us and difficulty find us. In those moments, hope and strength can seem distant. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen. No matter whats surrounding you we believe theres One greater who's overwhelming the very things that overwhelming you. We would love to stand in the gap and pray with you!
Their love for the local church is what motivates them. The Church is God's Plan A and is nothing short of being the hope of the world. Tony and Kim have 12 years of serving in the local church as pastors. After serving on staff at Radiant Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan over the past four years, leadership collectively affirmed the personal call on their life to plant a life-giving church. With faith and expectation, Tony, Kim and their 4 kids (Jais, Chaya, Blaise and Trybe) are stepping out in faith to fulfill the prophetic dream God has placed in their heart to contend for revival and bring hope and healing in Jesus name to the greater Nashville area.
To see a city come alive to Jesus & awaken to the wonder and glory of God
Why in the world are you planting a church in Nashville, Tennessee? Does Nashville really need another church?

Successful surgery of cervical bone fracture in a patient with anterior screw fixation: A Case Study
Dr. Manish Kumar MBBS, DNB (Neurosurgery)
Surgical Case Reports 2017 © The Park Group of Hospitals. 2017
Cervical bone fracture is a medical situation when a bone in the neck region of spine breaks out, whereas, a cervical dislocation is the ligament injury in neck causing an abnormal separation in the adjoining bones of the spine. Although, cervical fractures of the spine are common, yet, the cases of C1 and C2 vertebrae fracture are severe cases requiring more attention and immediate surgery. An electrician, who fell from the electric pole while at work, was brought with C1 fracture in the vertebrae. With difficulty in neck and head movement, the patient also had weak limbs. We divided the treatment in two parts wherein the first part was the Skull Pin Traction and the later the anterior screw fixation surgery was carried out. The patient was discharged after a week of intensive observation and once we saw recovery signs in him with the ability to move his head and neck smoothly.
Cervical bone fracture of is a common yet critical situation as the same requires intensive care and takes at least 6 – 8 weeks to heel. However, the C1 and C2 fractures are not so common. There are more noticeable cases of C4 and C5 injuries. The usual cause of C1 fracture is fall impacting the head or diving. Any incident which lays stress on the head and neck of a person may cause C1 and C2 fractures. These two fractures are highly risk oriented as the location of the affected vertebrae might cause complete paralysis to the individual. There can be a situation where in the fracture has damaged the vertebral arteries and interfere with the neurology system by restricting the blood flow to the brain.
Case Presentation
A 39 year old electrician showed the broken C1 and C2 vertebrae in CT scan when admitted to the Park Hospital, Gurugram. The MRI observed complete damage of C1 and C2 bones of the cervical spine. He was brought in after he had a fall from an electric pole and suffered difficulty in neck and head movement. The emergency and trauma team helped him with the first aid and basic treatment. The treatment was started by the team of neurologists led by Dr. Manish Kumar. The team performed Skull Pin Traction initially to support the head movement and later Anterior Screw Fixation surgery was performed to enable the complete neck movement of the patient. The patient was discharged after a week of observation and the confirmation of him facing no difficulty in the head or spinal movement.
According to Dr. Manish, this surgery was very complicated as there was neck bone fracture, which is also known as cervical spine (neck) trauma. The injury is like decapitation. About 25-40% of these fractures are fatal at the time of accident due to cessation of breathing and sudden loss of other vital functions or other associated injuries like Brain injuries. Many patients suffer with severe morbidity because of poor handling during transit or in the hospital sometimes even resulting in prolonged hospital stay and death.
Post surgery, the patient is very well and is also not having any issues with the limbs movement and is also not experiencing any limb weakness. He is eating well and is able to talk properly now as mentioned by the patient himself. He further added to the statement that he was able to walk the next day of the surgery and hopefully will soon have normal range of neck movement.
The case study is presented with the consent of the patient and his family members.

Home / About Theme Semesters /
Future Theme Semesters
India in the World (Winter 2014)
India has been perceived in the United States as a font of spirituality and mysticism. This perception was uncomfortably coupled with notions of India's poverty and its status as a third world country. While vestiges of both of these perceptions remain today, India has emerged on the world scene in entirely new ways: as one of the world's most vibrant economies; a key player in geopolitics; the world's largest democracy; home to the world's largest "middle class"; the site of one of the world's largest and most vibrant film industries; a contributor to global trends in art and aesthetics; and "home" to well-established and significant immigrant communities around the world, including the United States.
"India in the World," will encourage students to explore India's history, culture, politics, economy, art, religions, architecture, music, philosophy, contributions to mathematics and other sciences, and its diaspora. The semester will include art exhibits, a musical event, a film series, a lecture series, and a range of courses across the disciplines.
Our primary goal is to engage students actively in learning about India, not as an (invariably exotic) other, but as a part of everyday life in our increasingly globalized world.
This theme semester is organized by the Center for South Asian Studies.

Sweet or Savory Yogurt Cheese…a Great Alternative to Cream Cheese
Who doesn't love a bagel and cream cheese? I know I do, but rarely eat them as most bagels are too big, are made from white flour, and who knows what is in that cream cheese? We made bread this week in school and I started thinking I would love to have toast with a yummy cream cheese spread for breakfast. I love garlic and chive cream cheese and the sweet ones with brown sugar and cinnamon are also good. I checked on ingredients for the premade ones….they don't really pass my test. Lots of weird things like modified food starch, guar gum, carob bean gum. I decided I could do better myself!
I certainly could have bought plain cream cheese and added some ingredients to flavor it, but I decided to start with Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is an excellent protein source and has beneficial bacteria as well. Ingredients are just milk, cream and culture. One serving (7 or 8 ounces) gives you 20 - 23 grams of protein and 20% of your daily calcium needs. You also get B vitamins including vitamin B12 as well as minerals like zinc, selenium, phosphorous and magnesium. I'm in!
I couldn't decide on sweet or savory so I made both. I let the yogurt drain in a dish towel over night in the fridge until it got very thick and a little dry. Then I added in roasted garlic and chives to half of it, and maple syrup, cinnamon and chopped pecans to the other half. It was really easy to make - the hardest part is waiting for the yogurt to drain so you can make it! The roasted garlic and chive is excellent on crackers and would be great on a veggie sandwich. The sweet version is perfect on toast or would be really good on ginger snaps or graham crackers. A delicious treat! You know what I'm having for breakfast this week!
Yogurt Cheese: Sweet or Savory
Prep Time: 12 hours
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients (1 cup each)
- 1 cup 2% Greek Yogurt (Fage is what I used)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 3 large or 5 small cloves of garlic, unpeeled
- 1 1/2 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1 Tbsp chives, chopped
- salt and pepper
Place a small strainer over a bowl and line with a clean dishtowel. Put the yogurt into the towel and wrap to cover. Place the bowl in the refrigerator. Let sit for 8 to 12 hours, or overnight. The water in the yogurt will absorb into the towel. (If you use regular yogurt, water may even drip into the bowl, and it will take longer to drain.)
When the yogurt is thick and dry, like the consistency of cream cheese, remove it from the towel and place it in a small bowl. (It will hold together and move in one piece.
If making the savory version, preheat the toaster oven to 400. Put the garlic cloves on a baking sheet lined with non-stick foil. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and rub it all over with your fingers. Put in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes until softened, fragrant and lightly browned. Remove and cool until you can easily handle it. Squeeze the garlic out of the skins onto a cutting board and chop it up. Add chopped garlic to the yogurt and add the chives. Mix well. Add a few grinds of pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix well and serve.
For the sweet version, add the cinnamon and maple syrup to the yogurt cheese and mix well. Stir in the pecans. Serve.
Note: you can strain 2 cups of yogurt at once to make both versions. Just divide into two small bowls before adding your other ingredients.

Musta been christmas everyday for the cleaning staff.
Also watched Miami Vice - that was dire.
Oh and that thing with the computer car.
And the thing with the computer helicopter.
And the thing about vietnam vets running around in a cheap van solving crime with guns...

No, Pat.
That stuff was so passé in 1983.
It was big hair and big shoulders. And everything was shiny and expensive-looking.
Looking poor was so not cool anymore.
They even had a television channel that did nothing but music videos - can you imagine that ?
I often wonder what happened to MTV.

It's an extremely light weight serum that claims to give instant radiance and it's true because there are minute gold like/ sparse shimmer particles within the serum.
I've tried using this in two different ways; one is directly on my skin prior to moisturizer. I let it sink in for a minute or two and then follow with moisturizer. The second is mixing it with foundation- the end result is a subtle glow. I like this serum. It doesn't leave your skin looking greasy or like you have a light bulb for a face because of the shimmer particles.
|The serum completely dissolves into the skin
|Not sure if you can see the minute shimmer particles
I've read in magazines that regular use will definitely show a difference on the skin. While at Bloomingdale's, I received three samples post my shopping spree (they usually don't give this but I guess because they were in a jolly mood, they decided to!).
The first is a Papaya Enzyme Peel which contains papaya and pineapple (hello, healthy mask!) which helps to improve the skin. The second sample is S.O.S Emergency Cream- this is one is a bit greasy in nature and states you should apply the cream only to problematic areas of the face. And the last one is an Exotic Cream Moisturizing Mask which on application feels exactly like a spa session at Cleopatra's Spa primarily because of the mask's fragrance. I really love this mask because due to winter, I've been experiencing dry patches of skin on my face and it's a pain to put on blush for example because it highlights the patches; this mask soothes the skin and doesn't irritate it.
Elemis reminds me of Body Shop because they use quite a few natural ingredients, don't test their products on animals (yay!) and encourage people to recycle the empty tubes/bottles (double yay!).

I am developing an application where I have to use numerous toasts.
I display these toasts by using:
Toast.makeText(context, "Some medium-sized text", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
The displayer toast, however, has the height of one line, while the text is displayed on multiple lines. The result is that I can't view all the text in the toast.
How can I fix this?

Panthers QB Cam Newton on no-catch day for Kelvin Benjamin: Never again
As Cam Newton plans for his annual football trip to his hometown, he has already made a promise to Kelvin Benjamin.
Benjamin didn't catch a single pass last week in Carolina's 22-10 loss to Minnesota, and Newton only targeted him once. It was far and away the fewest times Newton has ever thrown to Benjamin, and the quarterback said Wednesday it will never happen again.
"That can't happen," Newton said. "And if I'm speaking for it, that won't happen again. He's too good of a player."
Newton will need a productive Benjamin Sunday if the Panthers are going to beat Atlanta (2-1). The Falcons have taken the early lead in the NFC South on the back of an offense that ranks No. 1 in the NFL in both points and yards.
On defense, though, the Falcons are giving up slightly more than 30 points a game and are ranked near the bottom in most of the key categories. It would seem to be an ideal "get-well" game for a Carolina offense that has struggled in two of its three games, especially in trying to keep the pass rush off of Newton.
Newton knows he contributed to the eight sacks Minnesota had Sunday. When asked what he needs to improve, the quarterback said: "Pressure recognition and just getting the ball out of my hands, that's what it comes down to."
When asked how many of the eight sacks he felt responsible for, though, Newton grumbled: "Who cares?"
'A rhythm of winning'
The Falcons beat Carolina the last time the two teams played in the Georgia Dome, upsetting a Carolina team that had started 14-0. Atlanta also pressured Newton extensively in that game and allowed Carolina to score only one touchdown in a 20-13 Falcons victory.
"We got our a-- kicked today," Newton said after that loss in December 2015, "and to a degree we deserved it."
There's no way 13 points will beat this Atlanta team Sunday – the high-powered Falcons are averaging 34.7 points per game.
Newton was the NFL's Most Valuable Player a year ago, but he has yet to return completely to form. He had only 10 interceptions in the regular season a year ago but already has five through three games this time around.
"I kind of mentioned this to certain players," Newton said. "It's not that we didn't have any mistakes that happened last year, because we had a lot of mistakes. The fact that we were winning kind of blew it under the rug. Now we're 1-2. It feels like we can't get into a rhythm of winning. A lot of things have been magnified, from the protection to the errant throws."
Newton is from south Atlanta and has fond memories of the Georgia Dome, which is in its final season of existence and will be replaced by a new retractable-roof stadium in 2017. He wanted to play there in high school for a championship, but his team never qualified. His first chance to play in the Georgia Dome came in the SEC title game in 2010, when he led Auburn to a 56-17 victory over South Carolina. He has gone back to play in the Georgia Dome for Carolina against Atlanta for the past five seasons, going 2-3 with the Panthers.
"It's just fun," Newton said of playing in Atlanta. "It's something where you want to make sure you have bragging rights."
'Stay tuned'
Newton wore a long-sleeved T-shirt in the warmups before the Minnesota game Sunday with a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. that read: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Given that the King Center is in Atlanta and that the Charlotte police protests are still fresh on everyone's minds, it would seem likely that Newton will make another statement with his fashion choice in the pregame Sunday.
"Stay tuned," Newton said.
And we will. The Panthers are at a fork in the road. What we are seeing is either a mild early season hiccup or the beginning of a massively disappointing season.
Newton knows he will need Benjamin by his side if the Panthers are going to right themselves. After what he said Wednesday, I bet Benjamin is targeted at least 8-10 times Sunday. But can it really be like that every week? I asked coach Ron Rivera if Newton could truly make the promise that Benjamin will never have another game like last Sunday again.
"Well, that's up to him." Rivera said. "He is the quarterback. ... And believe me, if there's one thing I've learned, if Cam says he's going to do something, he's most certainly going to try and do it."

Influencer marketing is becoming a more effective digital tactic for brands to generate exposure among targeted niche audiences. A perfectly executed outreach campaign can provide a myriad of benefits for businesses, such as increased brand awareness, positive brand mentions, and potentially lucrative relationships with new advertising partners. Unfortunately for small and medium sized businesses, reaching out to social media influencers and content publishers can be an arduous endeavor. More often than not, though, bloggers will quickly discard advertising-based emails from unknown senders, especially when the content is geared for impersonal mass mailing. However, there is no need to fret: breaking through the barriers of communication is possible, especially when you personalize your pitches and tailor them to the individual bloggers you contact. Below are some important tips to keep in mind when managing your outreach campaigns.

Wellington Anniversary Day 2020 and 2021
On the Monday nearest the 22 January, Wellington celebrates its annual Wellington Anniversary Day. This is to commemorate the landing of the first European settlers on 22 January 1840 at what is today Wellington.
|20 Jan
|Wellington Anniversary Day
|25 Jan
|Wellington Anniversary Day
An earlier ship had arrived at the site of Wellington in September of 1839, and having decided it was a great place for a new town, they sent for the settlers, who arrived on 22 January of 1840. Maori greeted the new arrivals, and things stayed peaceful. It was not until November of 1840, however, that the town was named "Wellington", in honour of the hero of the Battle of Waterloo.
Wellington is full of all manner of public events and celebrations for Wellington Anniversary Day, and many of them are very unique. One we cannot resist to mention is the Birdman Competition at Taranaki Street Wharf, where contestants dressed up as birds take turns in "flying" off the wharf into the harbour.

What the hell am I on about?
Weak, because all she did was go along with what was happening naturally at the time and took the credit for it. Stupid because all she had was this one simple idea and she stuck to it, no matter what anyone else said.
What was happening? I was too young at the time to really understand it, but my childhood included The Winter of Discontent, the Three Day Week, and The Sick Man of Europe. My dad was a shop steward at the Brighton B power station and I remember the strikes and works-to-rule. I grew up in one of those peculiarly pre 70s phenomena - the working-class conservative family (though my dad always voted Labour) which despite our relatively humble status, believed that people shouldn't depend on others for anything, that you get off your arse (and onto your bike presumably) and you take whatever job is offered and you are grateful and anyone who doesn't is a skiver and a scrounger. I grew up among mini Thatchers and Tebbits - most obviously my Auntie Roz and Auntie Eileen on the one hand and Granddad Joe and Uncle Bob on the other. None of them were monsters, and I was fond of (almost) all of them, but they were known for being somewhat rigid and contrarian - some might say bigoted. You wouldn't want to cross them but luckily you didn't have to take them too seriously either. Nevertheless they, and thousands like them, had the vote, and in 1979 they got into power.
Uncle Bob at least seemed interested in discussing it with me. I was in my teens at the time and not a lot of good at marshalling my arguments. Still, I had this deep conviction that there was something wrong with what he said. It was something to do with his preoccupation with money. Basically, for him, all that really counted was whether what you did made money. All the things I valued - my woolly ideals about human rights and freedom, and my worries about the environment simply didn't figure in his thinking unless somebody was making money out of it. In particular, the very vague ideas I had about my future, in ecology or art perhaps (I really had no idea) were completely 'unrealistic', if not actually laughable.
I think for him, underneath it all was a conviction that income = goodness. If you had a lot of money it had to be because you deserved it. If you were good you would succeed. Those without enough to live on were, ipso facto, bad. They must be doing something wrong. (I'm sure he would have made an exception for criminals who made their money illegally, but it was a simple and unambiguous distinction; Legal = Right.)
And I don't think it was about wealth exactly. Getting rich would have been getting above your station. No, it was about having a safe and secure job; making a living, not a profit. None of us was so much as self-employed, let alone 'A Businessman'. Thatcher's millionaire barrow boys I suspect were from a completely different kind of working class - living hand to mouth, ducking and diving, buying and selling, a bit on the side, cash in hand (Know what I mean?) They had less to lose and everything to gain. We, 'Respectable' working class, on the other hand, were risk-averse to say the least.
So in 1979, Margaret Thatcher's rather simplistic (but nonetheless 'Realistic') view of the world was put into practice. Everybody was sick of what the Unions had done to the country (because of course it was simply all their fault) and now it was time for a change.
And it worked. Things changed. What Thatcher and her government wanted to happen, happened. Whatever you say about the Tory government, they did what they said they'd do, unlike almost any more left-wing government you can point to. My point is that this is not because what the Tories did was right or good, but because it was easy.
A lot of right-wing thinkers I've spoken to think that one of the most important parts of their argument is that it goes along with human nature. Competition is natural. The accumulation of wealth and power by the few is Natural, whilst the rest of us strive and the shirkers starve. Altruism and cooperation, The Welfare State and Comprehensive Education are Unnatural. This is Pragmatism, Libertarianism and Social Darwinism, and the place that The Selfish Gene fell right into at about that time. It is simple, natural, automatic, and therefore Right. All you need to do is take away the brakes - the restrictions, the regulations and let it happen.
And Thatcher took away the dam and said 'Lo I have made water run downhill' and it was so.
And the populace stood in awe and said 'Verily. She said the water would run down hill and look, it does. She is a genius and our saviour and there is no alternative.'
The lesson, if it still needs pointing out, is that what is Natural is not necessarily Right. Sometimes it is, but not always. And doing what is unnatural, is almost inevitably Not Easy. This is why the more left-wing administrations always look so confused and compromised.
It isn't Easy to do The Right Thing, and it often ends in chaos and corruption, but to just give up and do the wrong thing just because it's easy is unforgivable. And that's what she did, and what my family allowed her to do, and I'm deeply embarrassed for the lot of us.

FTX EU England
Publisher: ORBX
Review Author:
The EU England by ORBX is the first of hopefully several European regions. This FTX region is created with the same level of detailing as you know it from ORBXs NA and NZ regions. All default FSX airports have been given an upgrade to the standards of ORBX and now features a more accurate and detailed layout than the default versions.
This region covers the entire England, which is a major size scenery and contains several scenic points of interest as the entire city of London, the famous cliffs of Dover and many more. The complete region is handcrafted down to even the smallest details and the textures used are indeed of the very high quality. In this scenery you will furthermore find several new and detailed scenery objects and you will also discover a general upgrade to roads and trees, etc.
This region package also contains all the seasons and hereby covers the complete year from spring time to winter. As extra ORBX also included an extra season - a hard winter season which really provides the simmer with the extra touch when wanting to try out his/hers skills under these conditions. The package of course also features the famous ORBX 3D night lighting.
I received this FTX region directly from ORBX and the download went as usual very easy and quickly. The connection speed to the download server was good, but since this is a rather huge file of 3.3 Gb as a zip file, the download did take quite some time.
The installation also went perfectly - I have discovered that when installing products from ORBX then the installation process is very simple. Just activate the installation wizard and that will take care of everything. This way I am sure that the product will be installed correctly and I don't even have to do anything manually.
When installing this FTX region there is also automatically installed the FTX central where you can control the activation of the different regions within FSX or P3D. This FTX region is created to both FSX and P3D so with this product you actually gain two versions for the cost of one. You also get the FTX day vs. night lighting control panels.
In the FTX Central you can activate which regions you want, or deactivate if you would rather use a default region. In the picture here above I have activated the NA region and am about to activate Europe also.
After the installation was completed I opened up FSX and set up a flight from London City Airport. I have used the default London City various times so I know the default London scenery very well, but what I now saw was very much different.
I am truly amazed by the level of details that I now see covering London. Every single building has received a tremendous facelift and the city is now very realistic. I think I toured the city for more than an hour or so, just to see all the details. I am positive that I have not discovered all details yet because there are just so many and it is really done with a superb precision and simply said, "eye candy" quality.
The following flights were in various aircraft such as the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark for high speed scenery touring and the Cessna C-172 for low and slow cruise to simply just enjoy all these very beautiful scenery details.
No matter if I chose the high speed or the low speed aircraft I still got an amazing experience of a very realistic scenery and the best part is that the scenery is so huge that it just continues. This is one of the very best and most realistic scenery landscapes that I have seen for any flight simulator and I was completely stunned every time I got airborne.
When I toured the scenery in the Cessna C-172, time just flew by. I had just created a flight from a smaller airfield near Nottingham and the first time I looked at the clock after take-off, I had already flow for more than 1 1/2 hours. The scenery is just so amazing that I could not focus on time or where I was flying - I just kept on finding new details and setting a course towards a new part of the scenery that was looking interesting. This is indeed an excellent FTX region and I am very sure that many people have been waiting on this. Since I am from Denmark I am of course now just hoping that ORBX would create a Denmark FTX region also - that could for me be awesome.
I could write 100 pages just trying to explain how awesome and realistic this FTX region really is, but I would still not be able to explain it good enough, so I have here included some of the ORBX pictures - the pictures speaks for themselves.
In regards to the computer power needed to run this region optimally I actually got a bit surprised. It seems that this FTX region did not impact my computer's performance at all - I kept all settings that I had equal to high and ultra high FSX settings and there were absolutely no loss of frame rates or any flickering / picture refresh delay. I use an Intel I7-2600K quad core processor 3.4 GHz (turbo 3.8 GHz), the NVidia GeForce GTX580 and 8 Gb Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600.
My conclusion for this FTX region is - a perfect FTX region filled with many details of a very high quality, pure eye candy for the demanding simmer and simply a region that is a must have. The EU England is very realistic and created beautifully and in accordance with the English nature. When flying in this FTX region it is very easy to see that there is really put in a lot of time and effort to create the most realistic region of all times, and ORBX has done it perfectly.
I rate this FTX region from ORBX with no less than 5/5-stars and thank ORBX for contributing to the flightsim community with this excellent region. This is indeed an extra ordinary excellent product.

How to Sew a French Seam

A French seam is actually a method for making a double seam that is used to hide the rough edges of fabric. French seaming is most often used when making articles of clothing, but it also works well on a variety of other sewing projects. It is a technique that makes the seams of your handmade garment strong, neat, and professional looking, even replacing the need for a serger in some cases. [1] Follow a few simple directions and you will be able to easily sew a French seam on your own.
Part 1
Sewing the First Seam
1Set up your sewing machine. Consider the stitch size setting and thread tension you will need for sewing your particular fabric. If you are unsure, consult the directions for your sewing machine and adjust settings accordingly. Also prepare your sewing machine by threading it with a thread that matches the color and strength of the material you are going to sew.
- This is also a good time to plug in your iron, so that it's already heated up when you need it.
2Pin your fabric together so that the wrong sides are facing each other. Putting the wrong sides together is the opposite of what is normally done when sewing a basic seam, so don't worry if it feels counterintuitive. A French seam requires you to stitch each seam twice, folding over your first line of stitches in order to make your finished seam face the right direction.
- Be sure to pin all the way down the seam you are sewing. This will help to make sure your fabric doesn't slip out of line.
- It's a good idea to put pins in so they are perpendicular to your seam line, this way they won't stick you as you move the fabric along in the sewing machine and they will be easy to grab as you move your fabric in the sewing machine. [2]
3Sew the fabric together using a 1/4 inch seam allowance, removing pins as you go. To keep your seam allowance the same width as you sew your seam, keep an eye on the seam allowance guide that should be printed on the thread plate of your machine. Another option is to use a 1/4 inch presser foot, that way you can just make sure the outer edge of your fabric always lines up with the edge of the presser foot.
- The seam allowance is the amount of fabric that is between the edge of the fabric and the seam. Patterns usually give a specific amount of seam allowance to use, so that your finished project doesn't turn out too bit or too small. [3] Remember that the french seam will basically require about double the allowance you use on this first seam, so make sure when you are cutting out your pieces of fabric that you have figured that into your measurements.
- Feel free to increase the seam allowance on this first seam to 3/8 inch, if you are more comfortable sewing that width, but keep in mind that you will need to increase your overall seam allowance to accommodate this.
- It's best to remove pins right before you are about to sew over them. This will keep the fabric in place but will avoid the risk of hitting one with your sewing machine needle, which could easily break the needle.
- Remember to clip any threads and remove any remaining pins after sewing.
4Trim the outside edge of the seam so you are left with 1/8 inch seam allowance. You can use regular scissors or pinking shears, but if you are using a delicate fabric, pinking shears may be best to help prevent excessive fraying. [4] Remember, this seam is not going to show by the time you are finished. Don't worry if the cut edge is a bit frayed or messy.
- While it would be great if you could just sew a 1/8 inch seam, and therefore not waste any fabric, most sewing machines need more than 1/8 inch of fabric for the machine's feed dogs, the pieces of rough metal under the presser foot, to grab onto and pull along. [5]
5Iron your first seam. Open the pieces of fabric and lay it out flat on an ironing board. Iron across the seam on both the right side and the wrong side of the fabric so it lays perfectly flat. Then fold the fabric so that the right sides are facing each other (the opposite of how it was when you sewed the first seam). Iron the piece with the seam you just sewed going straight down the outer edge of the fabric. You'll want to iron very carefully and neatly so that the seam on the outer edge is perfectly straight.
- Make sure your iron is set to the correct temperature for the fabric you are using. If it is set to high you will risk singeing the fabric.
Part 2
Sewing the Second Seam
1Pin your fabric so that the wrong sides of your fabric are be facing out. This should be easy, as you have just ironed them into place. Again, put your pins in horizontally all the way down the side of the seam so that they can be easily removed while you are sewing. The frayed edge should now be concealed between the two pieces of fabric and the outer edge is just the neat row of your first set of stitches.
2Sew your second seam, this time using a 3/8 inch seam allowance. You need this amount of allowance so that the frayed edge of the fabric is tucked away neatly between the two seams. As you sew, remove the pins. Once again, remember to clip threads and remove any stray pins after sewing the seam.
- If your seam allowance is too small on the second seam, the rough edges of the fabric could end up sticking out of the second seam on the finished side of your project. Its better to be cautious and make your seam allowance a bit generous.
3Iron the completed double seam one more time. Press the seam to one side, depending on where you would like it to lay in your finished project. Your raw edges are no longer exposed as they are enclosed inside your newly made French seam.
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat stitches should I use?Community AnswerSew the seam with a 1/4" seam allowance with the fabric wrong sides together. Flip the fabric to right sides together and sew the seam again with a 3/8" seam allowance, enclosing the raw edges of the first seam.
QuestionWhat are the characteristics of a French seam?C. M. YocomCommunity AnswerA french seam is used on fine, sheer fabrics to give a beautiful straight finish. It is ideal for silk blouses or lingerie. Unlike other seams, you always begin a french seam by pinning the wrong sides of the fabric together.
QuestionWhat are the advantages of a French seam?Community AnswerThe advantage of a French seam with chiffon or any other see-through fabric is that it won't fray, doesn't need overlocking, so you will get a more professional look, and it will be neat inside and out.
QuestionHow do I put a zipper in a French seam?Community AnswerOpen the seam to the length of the zipper, press the seam open, and sew in the zipper. If you're using an invisible zipper, sew it in as usual using the invisible zipper foot for your machine.
QuestionWhat type of sewing machine is pictured?Community AnswerIt is a Singer sewing machine.
QuestionHow can I sew a French seam using my hands?Community AnswerJust follow the above procedures, but using a thread and needle and not a sewing machine. You could also use your initiative for measuring the seam allowance if you don't have a tape.
- You may want to practice making French seams on scrap material before trying it on expensive fabric. You can work on making your seams straight and your ironing neat.
- Keep in mind, your actual finished seam allowance will be 5/8 inch. Check to see what size seam the pattern calls for. You may need to adjust the amount of seam allowance you have before cutting out your pattern.
- French seams are best for straight edges. They do not work well on curves, such as around the arms and neck of a garment.

Article SummaryX
To sew a French seam, start by pinning the fabric with the wrong sides facing each other and sewing it together using a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Next, trim the outside edge of the seam to about 1/8 inch. Open the fabric so that it lays flat, then fold it over so that the right sides of the fabric are facing each other. After folding it on the seam, iron it so that it's perfectly straight. Finally, sew the edge again, using a 3/8 inch seam allowance this time.

It would seem that today people in general react differently to stimulus than in the past. The Late Vince Lombardi former coach of the Green Bay Packers could dictate to his players and make it stick by using an unyielding, no nonsense, non-negotiable set of rules. Moms, and Dads could say " Because I said so" or "You wait till your Father comes home" , to instill fear and keep junior in line. Ruling with an iron fist is no longer the idea du jour. It is being replaced by a set of more "human" rules or objectives. People today want to be treated as individuals, and rewarded for a job well done, as part of a team. Thus we have "Behavior Based Safety", and the need for Behavior Based Safety Training.
Behavior based safety is more of an attitude, and creates the proverbial "Win-Win" scenario. It's a system that promotes a safety culture and rewards and regulates safety. It's an overall approach to managing safety. It's an attitude rather than a set of rules. A safety culture is achieved and maintained when it's begun, encouraged, and practiced by management. When this occurs, safety becomes a part of doing business, and puts everybody on the same plane. Behavior based safety is proactive and involves everybody from the top down. It is not reactive, and has an ongoing purpose in developing good safety practices. A reactive program is cyclical. It's active because there has been an issue. It's a rush to stop the bleeding so to speak. Once the bleeding has stopped, so has the ongoing training, until the next rider falls off of the bull. Behavior Based Safety Training has proven to reduce overall costs, and accidents, without the dilemma of cyclical drama. Empowering your employees to be a part of your overall safety program, reporting unsafe conditions, equipment or ppe without fear of retribution, is a positive, and encourages the type of recurring behavior we are trying to promote and foster. A good safety plan is measured, and validated by how effectively accident rates are reduced or controlled
Behavior Based Safety is watching out for each other not because it's the law but it's because watching out for each other is the right thing to do. It's contagious and improves employee morale. If your employees are happy they are more productive. That improves your bottom line. This type of attitude will also carry over into your behavior away from work as well improving your quality of life, and those around you whether you love them or hate them. Start by getting a plan together http://www.safetyinstruction.com/behavioral_based_safety_program.htm Get your supervisors involved, and trained http://www.safetyinstruction.com/online-safety-training/behavior-based.htm A Plan for "Behavior Based Safety Training" is good for everybody.

Hayan and Josse are two big nose big foot artists from Geneva. They like the hippie and post hippie culture and decided to make drawings together about it and have fun and a laugh. They say they were trying to be very stupid, and feel like stonned freaks, as Elbert Hubbard said: "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." The drawings have a simple quality to them and many depict jokes by the two artists.
