Workers Compensation in Nevada IA & Ames IA and surrounding areas
Keep Your Employees Protected
Midwest Insurance Corporation understands the value of good employees. We know that your day-to-day operations depend on their hard work, expertise, and dedication, and if you supply them with quality benefits and plans, they can work with the peace of mind assurance that they are properly protected.
But should an accident happen, having the right Workers' Compensation plan from Midwest Insurance Corporation can allow your business to ensure payments and cover expenses if an employee is injured from a work-related accident. Injuries can range from car accidents and back injuries to equipment malfunctions and, in some unfortunate cases, death.
Workers Compensation can cover financial obligations such as:
- An injured employee's medical expenses/treatment
- The replacement of lost wages from injury time off
If your business does not offer Workers Compensation, serious injuries that occur on the job could lead to an employee suing your company for damages. That is why it is important to discuss your options with a specialist at Midwest Insurance Corporation who can help you find the right coverage options for all your business needs.

She seems angry and disappointed,although she is colorful .
maybe she likes purple and orange, because those colors are all on her body and hair.
She couldn't clean it out,unless she took a shower but there's no water here.
she was looking at someone that she hated, because she was tricked.
She was eager to kill people,since she was tricked and becomes colorful, but she didn't.

There's never a dull moment when taking a look at a collection put together by the Roberto Cavalli luxury label. Filled with bursts of bold, vivid tones, eye-catching prints and a very distinguishable sophisticated femininity allure, the spring 2012 lookbook manages to maintain and even surpass our expectations with a truly memorable array of style options.
Bold, intriguing, challenging and perhaps a little overwhelming
but never boring seem to be the mission statements the Italian
fashion house Roberto Cavalli seems to
be guided by in bringing majestic designs and challenging our style
limits with each collection. For the spring 2012 season, the
designer treats us with a hefty dose of animal prints that are an
indispensable style staple for the brand in the recent seasons. A
celebration of color, sexiness and joy makes the collection
unforgettable and easily recognizable even at a fairly superficial
Leopard prints are a central motif of the
Evening dresses are also briefly highlighted throughout the
lookbook being a true symbol of high class and elegance. Although
more toned down compared to casual attire, these alluring long
dresses still require significant levels of confidence in order to
be worn. Bold tones and high splits are definitely not for the
faint hearted as they instantly become the center of attention.
Other print styles included are snake prints and floral prints. If snake prints are combined to be fairly subtle, floral prints are a whole other story. In a dominant color tone with minor variations or in wild combos, these prints are anything but traditional looking. Forget discretion and barely distinguishable prints for the upcoming months and focus on expanding your style limitations instead.
Accessories follow the same route the lookbook is built on. Whether we are talking about oversized handbags or clutches, the bold tones and edgy print styles and exotic skin texture unquestionably dominate. Footwear options focus on reasonably comfy sandals perfectly adapted to the outfit style while chunky necklaces and bracelets complete the looks to perfection.

Jet fuel price hiked by 2%
New Delhi: Days after diesel rates were hiked by a steep Rs 5.63 per litre, Jet Fuel price was today raised by about 2 per cent to Rs 73,711 per kilolitre.
Today's increase in aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, price comes on the back of the biggest ever hike in rates effected from 1st of this month.
ATF at T3 terminal in Delhi has been hiked by Rs 1,429 per kilolitre (kl), or 1.97 per cent, to Rs 73,711 per kl with effect from midnight tonight, according to Indian Oil Corp (IOC), the nation's largest fuel retailer.
The government had on Thursday announced the first hike in diesel rates in more than 14-months, raising rates by Rs 5.63 per litre to Rs 46.95.
Today's ATF price hike and September 1's massive 7.6 per cent (Rs 5,156.16 per kl) increase were trigerred by firming international oil rates and dip in rupee value against the US dollar.
The price hike is the fifth straight increase in rates since July, adding to the burden of cash-strapped airlines.
Jet fuel prices are today at all-time high.
In Mumbai, jet fuel will cost Rs 74,332 per kl from tomorrow as against Rs 72,830.64 per kl at present.
Jet fuel constitutes over 40 per cent of an airline's operating costs and the increase in prices will put fresh burden on the cash-strapped airlines.
No immediate comments were available from the airlines on the impact of the price hike on passenger fares.
The three fuel retailers — IOC, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum — revise jet fuel prices on the 1st and 16th of every month, based on the average international price in the preceding fortnight.

On June 10th and 11th of this year, I attended and presented at Hemp in the Holler, a celebration of hemp at a hemp farm in Livingston, KY. Activities included workshops on hemp farming, hempcrete construction, hemp breaking and hacking, and paper making. I brought Emanuel, the portable beater, and we made paper with fibers grown right there on the farm.
It was a great event, with many industry leaders in attendance and a laid back, family friendly atmosphere. I enjoyed sharing the art of hemp paper making with so many interested people. Thanks to Eric Hackworth for getting these photos of the paper making workshops and supreme gratitude to all who attended, to Blake Butler and Jill Lieberman, who worked day and night to organize this event and make sure everything went smoothly, and to Mike and Melinda Lewis, who welcomed us all to their beautiful farm.

Bob Jackson plays Alto Horn in the Band. He joined the band in 2006 when a member in the band asked him to come to a performance. He was so impressed with the authenticity of the sound and uniforms that he asked to join. The rest, as they say, is history. Bob enjoys the encampments the best because he gets to meet others and compare uniforms. Bob's first love is his music, specifically his trumpet. He plays trumpet in a Jazz Band and the Wesley Methodist Church Brass Quintet.
He has a wonderful family. Susan has joined in the spirit and accompanies the band in a period dress she has created herself. They have four children, three that are married and one at home, and two grandsons.

SACHA BARON COHEN, meet Irving Berlin.
Jokes that compare Jews to cockroaches have left some viewers of Mr. Cohen's farcical new film, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," shifting uncomfortably in their seats.
But probably few of those shocked by the movie realize that long before Mr. Cohen shed his Ali G persona for Borat's ill-fitting suit — in fact, long before the 1929 stock market crash — Berlin, the songwriter behind "White Christmas" and "God Bless America," was reeling off satirical songs about Jews that might seem dodgy on the "Borat" soundtrack. One such Berlin number, "Cohen Owes Me Ninety-Seven Dollars," from 1916, concerns a businessman on his deathbed who cannot stop fretting over his unrepaid i.o.u.'s.
This song and others by long-dead Tin Pan Alley songwriters are featured on a new compact disc, "Jewface," which is aimed not at the History Channel crowd, but at a hipper audience. The album, to be released Nov. 14, contains 16 songs salvaged from wax cylinder recordings and scratchy 78s, from a century-old genre that is essentially Jewish minstrelsy. Often known as Jewish dialect music, it was performed in vaudeville houses by singers in hooked putty noses, oversize derbies and tattered overcoats. Highly popular, if controversial, in its day, it has been largely lost to history — perhaps justifiably.
"It's like Hitler's playlist, but it's not, because it was actually Fanny Brice's playlist," said Jody Rosen, 37, a music critic for the online magazine Slate, who has spent more than a decade researching the genre. (Brice was the Ziegfeld-era singer and comedian played by Barbra Streisand in "Funny Girl.") "It's a more complicated and nuanced vision of Jewish history than what you absorb at Hebrew school."
In spring 2005, Mr. Rosen, who is the author of "White Christmas: The Story of an American Song" (Scribner, 2002) and has also contributed articles to The New York Times, joined forces with Courtney Holt, a former Interscope Records executive, who now runs MTV digital operations; David Katznelson, a former Warner Records executive; and Josh Kun, an associate professor in the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California. They turned a shared obsession into "Jewface," an album they hope will turn the MySpace generation on to a form of music that offended many even in their great-grandparents' day.Continue reading the main story
"Jewface" is the fourth album released on Reboot Stereophonic, a nonprofit record label devoted to unearthing odd Jewish-theme pop recordings from earlier eras, which Mr. Holt, Mr. Kun and Mr. Katznelson founded a couple of years ago. The CD will soon be available at record chains like Virgin, as well as on Amazon.com and iTunes.
Coarse, yes. Consider the very title "When Mose With His Nose Leads the Band," from 1906. The four collaborators acknowledge that these playful vaudeville ditties could function as hate speech in the wrong context, and they carry particular power in a politicized climate where newspaper cartoons can cause riots, and Mel Gibson has risked his career with a drunken outburst.
But to the project's partners — music professionals typically associated with the likes of the Beastie Boys (for whom Mr. Holt produced a music video) and the Flaming Lips (whom Mr. Katznelson signed at Warner), not Eddie Cantor — this forgotten genre serves as a window into American Jewish heritage for people just like them: young secular Jews weaned on kitschy pop culture, abrasive rock and irony, as much as on the Torah.
"We're all kind of disaffected American Jews, who aren't particularly religious, don't really practice and don't really lead very Jewish lives at all," said Mr. Kun, 35. "Digging up these recordings was really about figuring out who we were in this world."
Many of these lost recordings spent nearly a century buried under dust on wax cylinders, the canister-shape phonograph records that predated discs. To contemporary ears the songs are camp, much like a previous Reboot Stereophonic release, "God Is a Moog" — a 1968 rock-opera reinterpretation of the traditional Jewish Sabbath service, performed on Moog synthesizer by the electronic-music pioneer Gershon Kingsley.
But they also fit with a growing tendency among Jews of Generations X and Y to embrace, and even have fun with, stereotypes that might have made their parents squirm. It is the same impetus behind Heeb magazine, an irreverent publication about Jewish culture, and the proliferation of hipster Hanukkah parties in Manhattan each December, when fashionable young clubgoers bat around inflatable dreidels as house music blares.
The "Jewface" tracks may soon find their way onto the dance floor. Adam Dorn, a Manhattan musician and producer who records under the name Mocean Worker and has worked with Bono and Elvis Costello, recently cut a trancy remix of "Under the Matzos Tree," a 1907 song performed by Ada Jones, complete with blips and beeps and a thudding drum machine laid over lyrics like "Listen to your Abie, baby, Abie, come out in the moonlight with me."
"I just said, let's take this woman who would probably be 116 now and give her a backbeat," explained Mr. Dorn, 35.
But even the original versions of the old tunes rock, in their way.
"There's an ethereal quality" to the music, said Mr. Katznelson, 37. "It teleports you to another time. It's almost psychedelic."
Mr. Holt pointed out that such dialect music was usually performed by Jews and was popular among Jewish as well as non-Jewish audiences when it was released. For many immigrants, laughing at even newer arrivals from the Old World was a way to make themselves feel more at home in their adopted country.
But even after a century, the music carries the potential to shock. "My Yiddisha Mammy," a 1922 riff on Al Jolson's "Mammy," written by Eddie Cantor and others, may offend contemporary Jews and African-Americans equally with lyrics like these:
I've got a mammy,
But she don't come from Alabammy.
Her heart is filled with love and real sentiment,
Her cabin door is in a Bronx tenement.
The "Jewface" project, however, does have historical as well as musical value, said Jeffrey Magee, an associate professor of musicology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
"This album is a big step in repossessing this stuff that has been muted for a century," said Dr. Magee, who explained that this music was generally ignored, except in academic works, by earlier generations of American Jews, who were trying to assimilate and wanted to run from painful stereotypes, not explore them. (Other groups, like the Irish and Italians, had their own vaudeville self-parodies.)
"Some generations had to come and go," Dr. Magee said, "before younger people could listen with fresh ears, say: 'Hey, let's listen to this. It's not us, but it's our predecessors.' "
Many Jews in the vaudeville era ran from this music. In 1909, Mr. Rosen writes in the album liner notes, a prominent Reform rabbi said that such Hebrew comedy was "the cause of greater prejudice against the Jews as a class than all other causes combined," and that same year it was denounced by the Central Conference of American Rabbis.
Kenneth Jacobsen, the deputy national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said that a project like this "gets very complicated." It is on the one hand comedy, and that it was usually performed by Jews softens its impact. Still, he said, "our experience in this kind of thing is that inevitably somebody will probably use this for not such good purposes."
Mr. Rosen discovered the genre in the mid-'90s, while working on a master's degree in Jewish history at University College London. One day, while doing research at the British Library, he ran across the sheet music for a song called "I Want to Be an Oy, Oy, Oyviator" — a comedy song about a Jewish aviator. Digging deeper, he found sheet music for hundreds of such songs, usually decorated with insulting caricatures of Jews as Shylocks, nebbishy immigrant greenhorns or schlemiels (like Levi, the Jewish wrangler in "I'm a Yiddisher Cowboy," from 1908, who falls for an Indian maiden, then runs afoul of her father, the Chief).
Fascinated, Mr. Rosen set off on a quest to track down actual recordings of this music. He trolled dusty junk shops, record-collector conventions and, inevitably, eBay, looking for wax cylinders, which cost $10 to more than $100, and 78s. His search, he said, "took roughly 10 years on and off."
Mr. Kun heard Mr. Rosen speak about the genre at the Experience Music Project conference in Seattle last year. Within weeks, they said, they were planning an album.
Mr. Kun recalled: "I would get e-mails at 6 in the morning: 'Hey, have you ever heard of this guy?' I remember one night he found the personal stationery of one of these old vaudeville performers, and it was as if he had found a brick of gold in the pyramids."
While the collaborators hardly expect "Jewface" to become a commercial smash, their industry savvy does increase the chances that the music will be heard.
Mr. Holt, who worked on the iPod deal between U2 and Apple while at Interscope, is trying to organize a concert and eventually an album, with established rock and folk acts doing covers of the old songs. He's making calls, he said. So far no one is getting back to him.
"It's a hard sell," Mr. Holt acknowledged last week over a Scotch at SoHo House, the private club in downtown Manhattan, declining to name the acts he has been in touch with about the concert. "It's like, 'Oh my God, there's this lost Jewish music, recorded by Jews, making fun of Jews for non-Jews to be able to enjoy, in order to assimilate!' That's not a great elevator pitch."
Even family members can be skeptical. Mr. Rosen said his in-laws were taken aback. But to him, Jewish dialect music played a role similar to that which gangsta rap plays among African-Americans today. Vulgar and, to some, culturally debasing, it nevertheless managed to smuggle a subculture's distinct idiom into mainstream popular culture, while creating jobs for entertainers, managers, theater owners and music publishing houses from the same culture.
"To some extent, people like to see themselves represented," Mr. Rosen said, "even if they are badly represented."Continue reading the main story

A Trip to Treasure Island
Find a bounty of natural beauty, gourmet eats, and drinking destinations in this largely undiscovered Bay Area gem.
Woods Island Club offers unique brews in a fun, beachy setting.
Photo by Rey Romero
When planning an enticing outing, Treasure Island may not spring immediately to mind. Previously home to an active naval station, the man-made island can seem like a misfit between hipster-cool Oakland and iconic San Francisco—but it's creating its own buzz these days with gourmet restaurants, urban wineries, and fun outdoor activities. (It even served as the backdrop for part of Grammy Award–winning artist Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" music video.) So the next time you're looking for a daytime adventure, take a scenic drive across the Bay Bridge—or pedal along its new bicycle path—and discover the often-overlooked Treasure Island.
The views from this panoramic perch in the middle of the San Francisco Bay are nothing short of spectacular. To admire the stunning cityscape, meander along Avenue of the Palms, or rent a beach cruiser from A Tran's Bay Bike Shop and explore the island on two wheels. You can also opt to take in the scenery from the water. The Treasure Island Sailing Center offers paddleboard, kayak, and sailing lessons from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. tisailing.org.

Cap off the evening with a delicious dinner at Mersea. Cofounded by MeeSun Boice and chef Parke Ulrich (also of San Francisco's Epic Steak and Waterbar), this casual restaurant—which made its debut in January—serves refreshing cocktails and elevated comfort fare. Try the crispy fish and chips with curry tarter sauce, and the melt-in-your-mouth short rib and spätzle gratin (Ulrich's take on a family recipe).
Built from recycled shipping containers, Mersea also honors the island's history with several tables crafted out of lanes from its former bowling alley. Best of all, every seat offers sweeping views of the San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge, and Golden Gate Bridge. Stay until the sun sets, and watch the sky morph into breathtaking hues of orange, red, and violet. It's a picture-perfect end to one fine day on Treasure Island. mersea.restaurant.

Prince George's County Executive-elect Rushern Baker isn't commenting on the arrest of his predecessor, but Baker's transition team says he is staying focused on residents' concerns and his reform agenda.
County Executive Jack Johnson was arrested Friday in an investigation related to allegations that some developers were bribing public officials.
On Saturday, Baker spokesman Scott Peterson said Baker is focused on his agenda to improve education, the economy and "deliver a more effective, efficient and ethical government."
In May, Baker called for an ethics reform package, including the first county inspector general. He called for a ban on county credit cards for elected officials and tighter campaign finance regulations.
Baker ran against Johnson twice in the past.

When war broke out in 1914 there were 24 Kalimpong men living in New Zealand. All 22 who were fit to enlist, were at the front by early 1916. Two men died and many were wounded; four were awarded the Military Medal and one the DCM (Distinguished Conduct Medal - second only to the Victoria Cross). Many wrote to Dr Graham from the front, and also received the Homes' magazine on the battlefields. Anglo-Indians were not allowed to fight for the Indian or British armies at the beginning of the war, therefore the Kalimpong men saw inclusion in the NZEF an opportunity to prove themselves.
Many Kalimpong emigrants arrived in the late 1920s when the economic downturn was beginning to affect employment. The Kalimpong women who worked as domestic helps for quite well-to-do families were protected to some extent; however many of the boys joined the ranks of itinerant labourers moving around rural areas looking for work. By 1931, unemployment meant that New Zealand no longer permitted entry to the Kalimpong emigrants.
As noted above, war was seen by the Kalimpong men as an opportunity to prove themselves, and to see the world. Many volunteered for World War Two and some were instantly promoted on the basis of military experience gained in India before arriving in New Zealand. The batch that arrived in 1939 barely had time to settle in before signing up. Other emigrants from the 1920s and 1930s also enlisted, as well as one earlier emigrant who had also fought in World War One.
In 1947 India gained independence from Britain. Nobody knew what the consequences of this change would be for Anglo-Indians living in India, but many feared that they would not be welcome. Hence there was a major exodus of Anglo-Indians, who emigrated in large numbers to Australia and in smaller numbers to New Zealand. Some of those new migrants were siblings or friends of those who had been sent from Kalimpong in the earlier period.
Agitation for a separate 'Ghorkaland' began in the late 1980s. The Homes remained open but there was an army presence, food shortages, and many staff resigned. The campaign has been ongoing and in 2011 a major concession was achieved with the formation of the Ghorkaland Territorial Administration (GTA).

It's easy to view Seattle's mind-numbing traffic problem as insurmountable obstacle. The rapid influx of new residents, combined with the region's geographic limitations, make commuter woes a lost cause. We should all just throw up our hands and move to Portland, right?
Not quite. The GIF above, created from an International Sustainable Solutions poster, illustrates the major impact public transportation projects could have on Seattle traffic. Despite mounting budget and logistical issues, the city continues to push forward with Link Light Rail construction. Seattle also has plans to expand bus routes and encourage biking and walking as an alternative to driving.
Using streets more efficiently and reducing the number of single occupancy vehicles on the road is crucial to the city's transportation strategy. As the Sustainable Solutions images show, these improvements could have a significant impact on downtown congestion. But they're contingent on getting Seattleites to change their commuting habits.
"We're geographically constrained in terms of auto capacity we can add to the network," Seattle Transportation Director Scott Kubly told Next City. "If we're going to continue to grow, we need to use our streets more efficiently."

via CAAI
Published: 19/01/2011
Protesting supporters of the Thai Patriots Network on Wednesday morning rejected a police request to open Phitsanulok Road, in front of Government House, to traffic.
Pol Maj-Gen Kreerin Inkaew, deputy chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, and Pol Maj-Gen Wichai Sangprapai, Metropolitan Police Division 1 commander, tried to negotiate with Samana Phothirak, leader of the Santi Asoke sect for the protesters to open Phitsanulok Road, but to no avail.
Sunthorn Rakrong, a TPN core member, announced afterwards that the protesters would not open the road because they expected more people to come from other provinces to join them and wanted the space for them.
He read out a statement, saying that the TPN would continue to rally against the government because it had mishandled problems with Cambodia.
The statement also denounced police for the arrest of Chaiwat Sinsuwong and Somboon Thongburan, saying they had overreacted.
As a result, part of Phitsanulok Road from Panichayakarn and Suan Misakawan intersection remains closed.
Crime Suppression Division police took Mr Chaiwat and Mr Somboon to the Criminal Court on Wednesday morning, seeking permission to detain the two for 12 days from Jan 19-30.
The CSD police told the court they would have no objection if the two seek release on bail, on the condition that they must not take part in a political gathering or other political activities in violation of the constitution or spead information or give interviews that could obstruct police investigations and gathering of evidence.
Mr Chaiwat and Mr Somboon, insisted that they would not request bail. They instead filed a petition opposing the police request to extend their detention for 12 days, arguing that they had been falsely charged in connection with the occupation of Bangkok's two airports in 2008.
The court was still considering the matter.

Asia: Most markets up after Wall St record, China growth stable
[HONG KONG] Most Asian markets rose on Monday following another record close on Wall Street, while Shanghai stocks pared steep early losses as data showed China's economy grew more than expected in the second quarter.
Beijing said the world's number two economy expanded 6.9 per cent in April-June, beating forecasts in an AFP survey, and indicating it is stabilising after a years-long slowdown.
However, while the reading was the same as the previous three months officials warned of "uncertain factors abroad and long-term structural contradictions" at home.
The figures come as China tries to transition the economy from one driven by state investment to one powered by consumer spending, while leaders are also attempting to clamp down on bad debt that analysts fear could spark a financial crisis if not dealt with.
Rob Subbaraman, chief economist for Asia ex-Japan at Nomura Holdings in Singapore, told Bloomberg News: "Fiscal stimulus remains an important driver of growth. It's also encouraging to see more signs of rebalancing with the pickup in retail sales growth."
Shanghai stocks plunged more than two per cent ahead of the release on worries about the government's drive to deal with the debt crisis, but they recovered partially afterwards and in mid-morning trade was down 0.9 per cent.
Most other regional investors built on last week's solid gains as they tracked the Dow and S&P 500's fresh highs that came on the back of below-par US inflation and retail sales.
The US readings missed forecasts and fuelled speculation the Federal Reserve's plans to lift interest rates further this year could be put on the back burner, sending equities up as borrowing costs look likely to remain low.
Hong Kong was up 0.4 per cent, Seoul gained 0.3 per cent and Singapore was 0.2 per cent higher while Wellington, Taipei and Manila all saw healthy rises. But Sydney was marginally lower.
Tokyo was closed for a public holiday.
Lower expectations for a lift in US interest rates rattled the dollar on Friday and the unit struggled to bounce back against the pound, euro and yen in Asia.
The greenback was already under pressure after Fed boss Janet Yellen gave a more dovish outlook for future rises in interest rates, pointing to the bank's struggle to fire inflation.
"Persistently low inflation and soft retail sales in the US are raising legitimate concerns about whether the likely resting point for the Fed Fund Rate might be well below the three percent" that is forecast for the end of 2019, said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets.

Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel
The Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel features a unique interlocking rib design that simplifies installation and secures the panels together, providing a strong and weather-resistant seal. Translucent panels are also available to allow natural illumination of covered areas.
Features and Benefits
- Flat panellised design - Enhanced aesthetic appeal.
- High tensile steel - Light weight and high strength.
- Fully tested - Complete load performance tables.
- Interlocking ribs - Enhanced security and appearance.
- 1° minimum pitch - Low roof pitch with excellent drainage capacity.
- 290mm cover - Quick installation and easy handling.
- Interlocking panels - Strength and weather-resistance.
- Translucent panels - Natural illumination.
Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel is manufactured from high-tensile G550 BlueScope COLORBOND® steel in accordance with AS2728-Category 3 and, for the substrate, with AS1397
For further information on available materials contact your nearest Stramit location or distributor of Stramit® products.
Minimum Roof Slope
A minimum roof slope of only 1° is required to ensure effective drainage. However, because the self-weight of the panels causes natural curvature, a minimum slope of 2° applies to spans greater than 4 metres
Stramit Building Products employ in-house, purpose-built testing equipment to design, develop and improve products for the Australian market. In addition, many Stramit® products are tested or witnessed by independent organisations, including The University of Sydney and the Cyclone Structural Testing Station at James Cook University. This ongoing research and development ensures that Stramit Building Products remains at the forefront of innovation, design and customer information. Testing is conducted in accordance with AS1562 and AS4040.
Spans may be selected using the Span Chart or a combination of the Pressures and Foot Traffic tables.
# See Foot Traffic Section for explanation of foot traffic classification
* Walking on edge-panel or panel next to translucent panel is not permitted on an overhang
- Design pressures assumed are 0.55 kPa for serviceability and 1.30 kPa for strength. This is suitable for regions A & B sheltered suburban and region A exposed suburban areas, N1 & N2 classification as per AS4055.
- Foot traffic and wind uplift deflection as per AS1562.1.
- For more specific applications the Stramit Sunset® Panel must be design to the pressure and foot traffic limitations below.
- Support members must be sufficiently strong to sustain the above design loads.
The tables below are based on 2 screws per panel. Alternatively, 4 aluminium rivets per panel may be used but the strength limit state capacities shown have must be reduced by 10%.
Note: Maximum cantilever is 500mm, when attached to guttering or a channel section
Foot Traffic
Foot traffic limits for Stramit Sunset® Patio Panelare shown for two alternative foot traffic categories:
- LIGHT ONLY: Maximum span for 0.9kN (controlled foot traffic, ie experienced personnel walking only on pans, based on AS1562-1992).
- NONE: Maximum span for 0.5 kN (loads applied via ladder or boards - minimum design value for roofs permitted by AS1170.1:2002).
# When attached to guttering or a channel section.
* Walking on edge-sheet or sheet next to translucent panel not permitted on cantilever.
Note: Walking on translucent panels in not permitted at any time.
Installation and Fixing
Stramit Sunset® Patio Panels may be fixed to support beams, suitably designed receiver channels or to other members with sufficient strength.
To install Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel effectively, in a typical receiver channel installation:
- Insert foam strip tightly into receiver channel
- To ensure successful interlocking connections, remove the protective plastic coating from the overlapping rib section.
- Lay the first Sunset® panel resting between beam and lower lip of receiver channel, ensuring the panel is pushed firmly up against the foam insert. Leave a minimum overhang of 50mm at the beam end.
Note: Wall structure must be solid and strong enough to support a fully installed system.
- Secure first panel at beam end using the recommended downward facing fasteners in the correct pan locations. Tighten fasteners just enough so that the sealing washer provides a watertight seal.
- Secure receiver channel end using recommended fasteners fixed from above. Do not over-tighten.
- Attach second panel slightly away from the top lip of the receiver channel. To position the second panel, place the overlap rib on top of the underlap rib of the previously installed sheet, and allow the panel to fall into place (Fig. 1). To secure the interlocking rib connection, begin at one end of the overlap and simultaneously push down an pull back on the overlap edge until the ribs "click" together (Fig. 2). Continue along the rib in one direction only. The panel ribs will automatically lock into position.
Note: Rib interlocking can be assisted by pulling on the overlap while tapping the rib sides with a rubber mallet, working along the rib in one direction.
- Slide the second panel up into the receiver channel (Fig. 3).
Securing Interlocking Ribs
Connecting the overlapping ribs may require a little practice at first. Work along the length of the rib and "tuck-in" the underlap by pushing down on the overlap at an oblique angle, while simultaneously pulling back on it.
- Secure the panel as before using recommended fasteners and pan locations.
- Repeat procedure until all panels are laid.
- Insert Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel shaped foam inserts using neutral cure silicone to secure and ensure a good weatherproof seal.
- Attach weather flashing if required.
- Fix gutters, flashing (including edge flashing) or downpipes.
Note: When fixing the upper end of Stramit Sunset® Patio Panels to a support beam, note that the panel ends must be turned up and suitable flashing installed to avoid water running along the underside of the panels.
All fastening screws must conform to AS3566 - Class 3. They are to be hexagon headed and must be used with sealing washers.
For Steel
For Timber
Screw Fastening Locations
2 screws per panel fixed downwards at each support
* Extra screw for edge panel fixed downwards.
Rivet Fastening Locations
4 rivets per sheet fixed downwards.
* Extra rivet for edge sheets
Installing Translucent Panels
The following guidelines should be used when installing a translucent panel.
- The translucent panel should be attached to at least one steel Stramit Sunset® Panel on the ground first.
- Before a translucent panel can be placed, there must be at least two steel Stramit Sunset® Panel laid. This can include the pre-attached steel panel.
- Two translucent panels cannot be laid next to each other.
- Pre-cut a notch in the translucent rib, at the receiver channel end only, to allow installation of foam insert.
- To fix the translucent panel to a steel panel, it is recommended that the translucent panel first be turned upside down.
- With the translucent and steel sheets held at right angles, insert the steel panel overlap rib into the translucent overlap rib.
- Rotate the steel panel into position, then firmly press down on the rib union until it securely locks into place.
- Flip the attached panels over to the correct orientation and drop them into position on the last fixed steel panel. Press firmly on all rib unions to secure the join, then slide the panels into the receiver channel.
Note: A Stramit Sunset® steel panel fixed to a translucent panel is classed as an edge sheet, therefore an additional fastener is required at each support.
- Secure using recommended fasteners at the correct rib location and orientation.
- The next Stramit Sunset® Panel should then be attached using the "position, click, slide, secure" procedure.
Support Fixings
Adequate fixing to supports is essential. Long spanning roofs are usually limited by their support fixings. Pan-fixing to beams using screws fixed from above is generally satisfactory. However, attaching panels to a receiving channel or back channel can be difficult. Span data provided here is based on four carefully positioned rivets, which will generally suffice, provided the rivets are fixed from above. For further information, contact Stramit Building Products.
Attaching the receiving channel to a wall or supporting structure may be critical and therefore must be designed to suit each application. In no case should there be fewer than one wall fixing per panel. In some cases, many more may be required.
Stramit Sunset® Patio Panels are supplied cut-to-length. Manufacturing tolerance on length of product supplied is +0, -15mm.
Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel comes with a range of accessories to complement the product.
Translucent Panels
Translucent panels are supplied in an Opal shade to complement the Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel's gloss finish.
Receiver Channel
The Stramit Sunset® Receiver Channel is available in stock lengths with either zinc-aluminium or pre-painted coating.
Steel Framing
Information on framing posts, beams and associated accessories, including the correct connection and fixing procedures, are available from your nearest Stramit location.
Gutters, Flashing and Downpipes
To complete the final design, a full range of Stramit® standard and custom-made gutters, flashing and downpipes is available.
Colours and Finishes
Stramit Sunset® Patio Panel is available in a choice of attractive gloss or smooth finishes on both outer and inner surfaces. Colours and options available are:
Prices of Stramit Sunset® Patio Panels and accessories can be obtained from your nearest Stramit location or distributor of Stramit® products. As Stramit Building Products does not provide an installation service, ask your tradesperson for a supply and fix price. Contact your nearest Stramit location for the names of tradespersons in your area.
Material Compatibility
All building products need to be checked for compatibility with adjacent materials. These checks need to be for both direct contact between materials, and where water runs from one material to another. For this product non-compatibility includes green or treated timber, lead, copper, stainless steel and mortar or concrete. Contact Stramit Building Products for more detailed information.
Personal Protection Equipment
Wear safety glasses with side shields when cutting or trimming product. Cut-resistant or leather gloves should be worn when handling product. Foot protection should be worn when handling and transporting product.
Stramit Sunset® Patio Panels should be handled with care at all times to preserve the product properties and quality of the finish. Packs should always be kept dry and stored above ground level while on site. If the sheets become wet, they should be seperated, wiped and placed in the open to promote drying.
Stramit Sunset® Patio Panels can be easily cut, where required, using a power saw with a steel cutting blade or a power nibbler and, for localised cutting, tin snips. Avoid the use of abrasive discs because these can cause burred edges and coating damage. Dispose of any off-cuts carefully.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC baseball program has added 12 newcomers for the upcoming 2015 season, Retriever head coach Bob Mumma announced on Thursday afternoon. The Retrievers, who start fall practice in September, will welcome six pitchers, two catchers, two infielders, and two outfielders to the program.
"We knew that we needed to upgrade the pitching, and more specifically the pitching depth," said coach Mumma, who enters his fourth year in charge of his alma mater this fall. "I think we were able to accomplish that while also filling in some holes in the lineup with guys that can contribute right away."
Two of the biggest signings come by way of junior college in transfers Kevin Little (Weldon, Calif./Kern Valley/Taft College) and Conrad Wozniak (Cypress, Texas/Cypress Woods/Frank Phillips College). Little was selected as the Pitcher of the Year in the Central Valley Conference in 2014 while Wozniak earned a spot on the NJCAA All-Conference First Team for Region V.
"We're excited to bring in two guys with excellent experience at a high JuCo level, in Kevin and Conrad," coach Mumma remarked about the two signees. "I think they will be able to step in right away and help us solidify our rotation."
In addition, hurlers Tim Kelly (Hampton, Va./York/Virginia Tech) and Connor Staskey (Virginia Beach, Va./Salem/Temple) join the Retrievers already with Division I pitching experience.
"With Tim and Connor coming in, that really shores up our bullpen, especially at the back end," the Retriever skipper added.
Freshmen Matt Chanin (Olney, Md./Sherwood) and Michael Kirschbaum (Commerce, Mich./Walled Lake Northern) are expected to provide solid innings as rookies. Chanin played for the Diamond Pros showcase team while Kirschbaum tossed for the Oakland (Mich.) Reds.
"Matt really came on during his senior year and if he continues to progress, he will push himself into a key spot for us," Mumma noted. "I expect Michael to be a quality arm out of the bullpen for our team and help provide solid depth."
The new corps of pitchers will have a pair of fresh faces to throw to as well as rookies Dylan Evert (Bristol, Pa./Bristol) and Zach Bright (Fairfax Station, Va./TC Williams) compete for time behind the plate. Evert comes to UMBC from one of the premier showcase teams in New Jersey, the Tri-State Arsenal, while Bright previously played with the Demarini Stars.
UMBC also added quality position players in Jamie Switalski (Gibsonia, Pa./Pine-Richland) and Brady Zinda (Woodbridge, Va./Hylton), whom coach Mumma figures will have a quick impact on the Retriever lineup come spring. Switalski, an infielder, has plied his trade recently with the Pittsburgh Diamond Dawgs, while Zinda comes to UMBC after competing with Bright for the Demarini Stars.
"Jamie looks like a middle of the order kind of guy with legitimate power potential, and should really help us compete in the America East," Mumma reflected. "Brady is a quality outfielder who will probably bat at the top of our order, get on base, and steal some bags with his speed."
In addition, freshman outfielder Chris Convers (Poolesville, Md./Poolesville) and rookie infielder Nick Loiodice (Forest Hill, Md./Bel Air) will bring athleticism to a team which has trended up under the guidance of Mumma.
"Chris is a great athlete with good bat speed and he should be a fun player to watch develop in the next few years," coach Mumma predicted. "Nick is a local kid who should bring us some intangibles that will just help us be a better team all around."

My friend, Amy, and I consider ourselves to be dream sisters. We discuss our dreams with eachother every morning over the phone, and then later in the afternoon or evening we call eachother to discuss who each of us is going to call into our dreams according to what we want to work on. She suggested that I call in the Greek Goddess Artemis (Diana in Roman Mythology)), because of the huntress in her. I programmed my dreams with God, Artemis and Archangel Chamuel.
I asked them to come into my dreams while I am sleeping to hunt for the hidden treasure within me and then show me how to claim my hidden inner treasure.I did the same with my hidden inner power, and then I asked them to help me to step up into my power. I then asked them to take me to the hidden wealth within me and to claim it. I then asked them to show me what I need to do in my life to access my hidden inner treasure, my hidden inner wealth and my hidden inner power. I fear all these things, because in my childhood I surpressed myself due to my fear of not being enough. I was afraid to want to much. In my past life, I accessed my treasure, my power and my wealth to use people for my gain. I no longer need to keep them hidden. I am forgiven, and I forgive myself.
This morning, I woke up around 7:15 am from the following dream. In the dream, I discovered that I had a blackhead on my left shoulder. It had turned an angry purple with a dark brown ugly mean looking layer surrounding it. It did not look good, and I knew I had to seek medical attention right away. In the dream, I called my friend, Amy. In real life, she is a healer and homeopath. Our conversation was brief, but she told me not to worry and that she either had or would order the medication for me. I was also in the waiting room of some kind of medical facility wanting to have it checked out. It looked like a children's waiting room, because everything looked small. There was a small portable potty in the waiting room. I saw that what I needed was very high up on a the very top shelf, either a book or some medication. I got on my tippy toes, and I managed to get it down. It was the very last one.
When I woke up and looked at my phone, my Archangel Michael App immediately popped up with a message: "Yes it was I who sent you that book to help you gain insights and answers to your questions". Although I did not program Archangel Michael into my dreams last night, as you can see he was there for me anyway. All of them were there. Thank you God, Artemis and Archangels Chamuel and Michael.
This dream, for me, means that all that anger (represented by the the festering black head on my shoulder, surpressed inside me from my childhood that keeps me from accessing the true potential of my inner power, my inner treasure and my inner wealth is now coming to the surface to be released. When I reached up to get what I needed down from the top shelf, I was reaching up to connect with and access my inner power, my inner treasure and my inner wealth. I found them.

Franco's 2 home runs lead Phillies to 5-2 win over Brewers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A change in approach during batting practice paid off big for Maikel Franco, who hit two long home runs to power the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
"We talked to him before the game about pulling the ball," Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. "A lot of guys work so much on going to the opposite field. If you think about pulling the ball, then you stay back a little more."
The right-handed hitting Franco hit a two-run home run to left field in the fifth to give Philadelphia a 4-1 lead. His blast followed a run-scoring triple by Freddy Galvis. Franco hit a solo shot over the Brewers bullpen in left in the seventh to stake the Phillies to a four-run lead.
"I've been in a tough slump," Franco said.
The Phillies snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Brewers and won for just the seventh time in the last 28 games against NL Central foes.
Philadelphia starter Aaron Nola (1-2), who was rocked for seven runs over five innings in his last start, allowed four singles over seven innings and retired 11 consecutive batters at one point and 16 of 17 to close out his outing.
Nola showed pin-point command throughout a mostly dominant performance.
"I felt like I really needed to command the baseball inside a lot more and after the first couple innings I felt like I got more comfortable," Nola said.
Nola struck out seven and threw 74 of his 105 pitches for strikes, keeping Brewers batters off balance throughout the game, often with an unusual arm angle.
"He had a little three-quarter arm slot," said Milwaukee catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who had one hit in three at-bats against Nola. "He made good pitches."
Milwaukee starter Zach Davies (0-2), who also struggled in his previous start on Sunday, giving up five earned runs in 2 1/3 innings, had another rough outing, surrendering four runs and nine hits over six innings. He struck out five, walked a batter and hit another.
The Brewers took a 1-0 lead in the first on Chris Carter's run-scoring single. The Phillies tied the game in the fourth on Darin Ruf's RBI single.
The Brewers added a run in the ninth on consecutive doubles by Carter and Aaron Hill.
Philadephia's Odubel Herrera, who had drawn at least one walk over seven consecutive games, reached base just once, on a single, in five at-bats, but managed to extend his on-base streak to 14 games, the second-longest of his career. Herrera leads the National League with 15 walks.
Franco recorded his second career multi-homer game. He homered off Chris Capuano for the second round-tripper in each game. Franco belted two home runs against the Yankees in New York last June 22.
Phillies: C Jorge Alfaro, a top prospect in the Phillies' farm system, could be back in Double-A Reading's lineup next week. Alfaro, who is hitting .500 (18-for-36) with a .750 slugging percentage, is on the 7-day DL with a strained right oblique. He's eligible to be re-instated on Monday.
Brewers: Capuano, who has twice undergone Tommy John surgery, has made a team-leading eight appearances out of the bullpen, pitching multiple innings in four consecutive outings coming into Friday's game. Capuano, a non-roster invitee to spring training, pitched one inning against the Phillies. "You're judging the number of pitches, but anytime a guy throws two innings the day before, you're going to be a little hesitant and check with him to make sure he's doing all right," manager Craig Counsell said.
Phillies: Charlie Morton (1-1, 3.86 ERA) will make his fourth start of the season. After getting roughed up in his first outing, Morton gave up just one run and seven hits in 12 2/3 innings over his next two starts. He is 4-7 in his career against the Brewers.
Brewers: Chase Anderson (1-1, 2.25) struggled in his last outing, surrendering five runs (four earned) and a career-worst 11 hits over five innings. Anderson is 0-1 with a 5.23 ERA in two career starts against the Phillies, both coming last year with Arizona.

ANA Scale
By Jaime Hernandez
The ANA show is similar to when someone gets on a weight scale for the first time after exercising and dieting for months.
In this case, the scale was the most recent ANA Coin Show that just took place earlier this month in Philadelphia, where most of the major dealers and collectors bought and sold coins.
Well, the numbers are in, and overall, the Coin Market is in really great health. It ran a very long marathon and it has the strength to run another one.
The major auctions sold well over $69 million worth of coins. And even after the marathon (or the auctions), was over several more millions of dollars were still being traded at the show by both collectors and dealers.
So, the market is definitely healthy and collectors and dealers are very confident in spending their money on coins. Expect to see coins selling for strong prices in the months ahead.

Tom Fletcher feels ''naked'' after misplacing his wedding ring, but he remains hopeful the jewellery hasn't gone for good.
Tom Fletcher has lost his wedding ring.
The McFly singer has ''never'' removed the jewellery since tying the knot with Giovanna Falcone in May 2012, so was shocked to find it missing, but is still confident it hasn't gone for good.
Speaking to Absolute Radio at last night's (23.01.13) National Television Awards (NTAs), he said: ''I got here, and realised it wasn't on my finger; I never take it off. I don't know, I think it's still at home.
''I think I was playing with it this morning when I was making a sandwich. But I never take it off, and I got here today and... I feel a bit naked without it.''
Earlier this month, Tom, 27, posted footage online of his unique wedding speech - which featured a medley of McFly songs with lyrics changed to fit the occasion - and he is stunned with the fact it has become a worldwide sensation with over 8 million hits on YouTube.
He said: ''I generally didn't put it up to try and get a response like that; I put it up because it was just easier to share it with my family who live in America and around the world, and stuff.
''So yeah, it was quite a surprise when eight and a half million people have viewed it, it's crazy ... It's quite scary. Because a lot of people now don't know me for McFly, they know me for my YouTube video.''
And Tom even hoped the emotional video would stop him getting in any trouble for losing his ring, although his wife obviously wasn't happy.
He joked: ''I pre-warned my wife, so she knows it's missing and to look out for it. Yeah, she wasn't pleased ... But I said 'Just watch my wedding speech again' and she will forgive me.''

text: JAPANESE FIVE NEEDLE PINE BONSAI. A tree most often used for bonsai in Japan. Its short needles and early corking of its bark make it the perfect choice to build your collection around. The strength and power of these pines adds the perfect contrast of color and texture to your decidous trees. Japanese White Pine - Pinus parviflora - Family: Pinaceae Lighting: Full sun. - Temperature: Zone 4B to 7A. Northern climates, will not grow in southern USA.- - Watering: As with other pines, good drainage is essential. - Feeding Simon and Schuster's recommends feeding once a month from early to late spring and from end of summer to late autumn with a slow-acting organic fertilizer, and applying chelated iron 2-3 times per year. If you prefer to use chemical fertilizers, feed every other week during the same times with a half-strength solution of a fertilizer for acid-loving plants, such as Miracid. You may wish to alternate with a balanced fertilizer such as Peter's 20- 20-20 depending on the acidity of your soil mix. - Pruning and wiring The root system should be pruned gradually in the coarse of repotting, so as to always leave a strong root system. Branch pruning and wiring should be done in late autumn, and the wire left on the tree for 6-8 months at most. Pinch new shoots in spring to 1/3 of their length. Every 1-2 years it is possible to remove all of the new shoots in late spring, if the tree is healthy and well-fed. This will result in buds forming in the fall at the sites where the shoots were removed. The reason this might be done is to form very short internodes on the branches. - Propagation: Seeds, layering. - Repotting: Repot every 2 or 3 years for young trees (up to 10 years) or every 3 to 5 years for older trees. Repotting can be done in spring before the candles open or in late summer or early autumn, after the heat of summer has passed. These are the two periods of greatest root growth in pines. Because of the rugged quality of the five-needle pine, a strong rectangular pot should be used. Pines need a deep root system, and five-needle pines especially need a deep pot to avoid uprooting by wind, due to their dense foliage. Pines and other conifers grow in association with a symbiotic fungus which grows in the root ball of the tree. If this fungus is not present, the tree may die. For this reason, pines and other conifers should never be bare-rooted, unless steps are taken to re-introduce the fungus to the repotted plant, such as making a slurry (thin mud) of the old soil and pouring it over the newly potted soil or by using Hollow Creek Farms Micro Plus as directed. Some experts feel that it is more important to be sure that the tree always has a healthy root system with sufficient feeder roots than to worry about symbiotic fungi. They feel that trees are more likely to die from having their root systems reduced too much at once than from not having the fungus present. Certainly it is good advice in any case to be sure the tree has sufficient roots. - Pests and diseases: Aphids, mealy bug & red spider mites, to name a few.
