Good morning. I am Deborah Hersman, Member of the National Transportation Safety Board, and Chairman of this Board of Inquiry.
Today we are opening a public hearing concerning the accident that occurred on October 14, 2004, at Jefferson City, Missouri, involving Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701.
I'd like to begin by acknowledging the family members of those who lost their lives in this accident who are with us today. On behalf of the National Transportation Safety Board, and may I also say, on behalf of all the parties who have joined this investigation, I want to express our condolences for your loss.
This hearing is being held for the purpose of supplementing the facts, conditions, and circumstances discovered on-scene and throughout our continuing investigation. No determination of cause will be rendered during these proceedings. However, this process will assist the Safety Board in establishing the facts to determine the probable cause of this accident and make recommendations to prevent similar accidents in the future.
While airline accidents are rare events, they are widely publicized and scrutinized by experts around the globe. When an accident such as this does occur, it is the responsibility of the National Transportation Safety Board, with assistance from designated parties from government, industry and labor, to find out what happened, why it happened, and how we can prevent this unfortunate event from recurring.
The purpose of this hearing is two-fold. First, the issues that will be discussed at this hearing, while technical in nature, serve to assist the Safety Board in developing additional factual information that will be analyzed for the purpose of determining the probable cause of the accident. Second, this hearing also provides an opportunity for the aviation community, and the public, to see a portion of the total investigative process. This transparency reinforces our role as an independent agency accountable to the traveling public and provides an opportunity for citizens to view the efforts being put forth by investigators to determine the cause of this accident.
I want to assure the families of the crew that the Safety Board will pursue every lead toward an ultimate solution to what caused this accident. We will also fulfill our broader mandate to determine the cause of this accident and formulate recommendations to prevent such tragedies in the future on behalf of the millions of aviation passengers in the United States and around the world.
Public hearings such as this are exercises in accountability:
The purpose of this inquiry is not to determine the rights or liability of private parties, and matters dealing with such rights or liability will be excluded from these proceedings.
Over the course of this hearing, we will continue to collect information that will assist the Safety Board in its examination of safety issues arising from this accident. Specifically, we will concentrate on the following issues:
At this point, I would like to introduce the Safety Board staff and other participants in the Public Hearing. I'll begin with the other members of the Board of Inquiry.
Mr. John Delisi, Chief of Major Aviation Accident Investigations
Mr. Tom Haueter, Deputy Director of the Office of Aviation Safety
Dr. Vern Ellingstad, Director of the Office of Research and Engineering.
Mr. William English of the Office of Aviation Safety will serve as the Hearing Officer.
Next we have a Technical Panel consisting of the following Safety Board staff:
Dr. Daniel Bower, Aircraft Performance Group Chairman
Dr. Evan Byrne, Human Factors Group Chairman
Capt. Dave Kirchgessener, Operational Factors Group Chairman
Ms. Lorenda Ward, Investigator in Charge
Mr. Robert Swaim, Systems Group Chairman
Ms. Carol Horgan, Powerplants Group Chairman
Ms. Dana Schulze, System Safety Group Chairman
Mr. Joe Jackson, Accredited Representative, Transportation Safety Board of Canada
Mr. Terry Williams from the Safety Board's Public Affairs Office are here to assist members of the news media.
Mr. Erik Grosof from the Office of Transportation Disaster Assistance is here to assist any family members in the audience.
Ms. Karen Stein is the report writer and Ms. Jennifer Bishop is the Chief of Writing and Editing, both are from the Office of Aviation Safety.
Ms. Carolyn Dargan, Ms. Eunice Bellinger and Ms. Jennifer Barnes are present to provide administrative support as needed. They will also be providing copies of exhibits to the witnesses. Ms. Shavonne Reed is assisting with the display of the exhibits.
In addition, Mr. Brad Vardy, from Transport Canada, will be observing the hearing.
Finally, I am joined by Ms. Nancy Lewis who is my Special Assistant.
The Safety Board's rules provide for the designation of parties to a public hearing. In accordance with these rules, those persons, governmental agencies, companies, and associations whose participation in the hearing is deemed necessary in the public interest and whose special knowledge will contribute to the development of pertinent evidence are designated as parties. The parties assisting the Safety Board in this hearing have been designated in accordance with these rules.
As I call the name of each party, would the designated spokesperson please give his or her name, title, and affiliation for the record:
Federal Aviation Administration - Mr. Dan Diggins
Pinnacle Airlines - Mr. Michael Crook
Bombardier Aerospace - Mr. James Donnelly
Air Line Pilots Association - Mr. Lindsay Fenwick
General Electric Engines - Mr. Paul Mingler
Honeywell - Mr. Michael Cummins
While on scene we received excellent support from the Jefferson City Police Department, they secured the accident scene and assisted us in establishing a command center. I would like to take the opportunity to thank publicly all of the other private, municipal, county, state and federal agencies that have supported the Safety Board throughout the investigation.
On June 2, 2005, the Board of Inquiry held a prehearing conference. It was attended by the Safety Board's Technical Panel and representatives of the parties to this hearing. During that conference, the areas of inquiry and the scope of the issues to be explored at this hearing were delineated and the selection of the witnesses to testify on these issues was finalized.
Copies of the witness list developed at the prehearing conference are available in the foyer. There are numerous exhibits that will be used in this proceeding. Copies of the exhibits may be ordered through our Public Inquiries Branch at 202-314-6551, and can be found on the Board's web site, www.ntsb.gov.
The witnesses testifying at this hearing have been selected because of their ability to provide the best available information on the issues of aviation safety pertinent to this accident investigation.
These proceedings tend to become highly technical affairs because aviation issues can be complex and multi-layered. Neither I nor any other Safety Board personnel will attempt, during this hearing, to analyze the testimony received nor will any attempt be made at this time to determine the probable cause of the accident. I would also like to caution to parties to refrain from making such analyses and cause determinations during the hearing. I will limit such discussions if we begin to venture into those areas.
The hearing is intended to establish a record, as is defined by our rules, analyses and cause determinations will be made by the full Safety Board after consideration of all of the evidence gathered during our investigation. The final report on the accident, reflecting the Safety Board's analyses and probable cause determinations, will be considered for adoption by the full Board at a public meeting here at the Safety Board's headquarters at a later date.
The Investigator in Charge of the accident investigation will summarize certain facts about the accident and the investigative activities that have taken place to date. Following this, the first witness will be called.
The witnesses will be questioned first by the Board's Technical Panel, then by the designated spokesperson for each party to the hearing, finally followed by the Board of Inquiry.
As Chairman of the Board of Inquiry, I will be responsible for the conduct of the hearing. I will make all rulings on the admissibility of evidence, and all such rulings will be final.
The record of the investigation including the transcript of the hearing and all exhibits entered into the record will become part of the Safety Board's public docket on this accident and will be available for inspection at the Board's Washington office. Anyone wanting to purchase the transcript, including parties to the investigation, should contact the court reporter directly.
As I mentioned earlier, the purpose of the hearing today is to find out what happened and why it happened. Our work at the NTSB is to promote transportation safety by analyzing accident causes and finding ways to prevent future accidents. We are not here to malign anyone, for actions taken or not taken leading up to the accident. Our sole purpose today is learn what we can from this accident and begin developing recommendations for changes-whether mechanical, operational or behavioral-that will improve aviation safety in the future.
Ms. Ward are you ready to summarize the investigation and enter the exhibits into the public docket? Please take the witness stand and proceed.

Volkswagen has revealed the Golf GTI Oettinger Edition at the 6th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS). It is the brand's new variant to their multi-awarded hatchback.
The first thing you'll notice about the Golf GTI Oettinger Edition is its matte black color that exhumes a sporty aura. This is then further accentuated with red trims all over the accessories that has been added to the German brand's best-selling hatchback.
It includes a front spoiler and splitter, side skirts, 4-pipe rear skirt insert with diffuser, roof spoiler, and a 4-pipe rear muffler. These accessories are all designed and manufactured by Oettinger Sportsystems, a German company that specializes in sporty accessories and engine design.
Moreover, the Golf GTI Oettinger Edition is equipped with 19-inch wheels. The size and color of these rims complements its active styling, a perfect match to the performance that this hatchback can offer.
Speaking of that, the engine inside the bonnet is still the same – the 2.0L TSI power plant that can generate up to 220 hp and 350 Nm of torque. This is then mated to the 6-speed DSG transmission and matched to sports-tuned suspension.
The interior of the Golf GTI Oettinger Edition remains the same, along with its standard high-tech features like parking sensors, keyless entry, push start ignition, dual zone air conditioning, and a Composition Media 5.8-inch touchscreen with mobile phone interface.
The Volkswagen Golf GTI Oettinger Edition sells at P2,918,511.16, which is P628,511.16 more than the regular Golf GTI.

Vintage Chinese Resin Figurine
Vintage Chinese Resin Figurine
I've been a bit pushed for time today so have't be able to research the character that this resin figurine is modelled on, but I'm sure there's a story there! From the brief bit of reading that I did do, it seems that these figurines were actually produced in Italy during the 1960s, so not not oriental at all really! At first I thought this chap was made from alabaster, but on closer inspection it looks like a type of resin. There are small areas which have discoloured over the years, but there's no real damage – often these figurines chip over time, and given how tall this gentleman is, I'm surprise the same fate hasn't befallen him!
A quirky figurine that would make an interesting addition to your bookshelf or display cabinet
Dimensions: 49cm tall x 12.5cm in diameter (across base)

Do you feel the occational lack of energy, or is every day a drag, where you have to force your way through it? There are ways to leave you feel more envigorated, energized and vital. Do you want to know what that is? Ok, great! Let's go:
- Get proper amount of good sleep. The key here is sleeping enough.
- Stress down. Get adequate amounts relax during the day. Deep breathing, feeling your stomach moves with the breathing is a good way to lower ones stress level, aka taking a breather. Also, don't set your mind to doing more than you are capable of, as this will only stress you more. Learning to say no is something many could be better at.
- Tend to your thyroid. This is related to the point above.
- Take care of you gastro-intestinal tract, as this really influences your energy level.
- Exercise regularly. Regular exercise, in the right amounts is both healthy and a good way to boost vitality. Interval workout, with high intensity bursts of exercise alternated with intermittent resting periods is a good way to improve circulation in the body. I can recommend a book called Spark, by John Ratley on this subject.
- Regularly stretch out your body. It is particularly important to have a flexible back, as it influences the circulation of your body.
- Eat regular meals. By eating regularly you maintain a more balanced blood sugar, and consecuently leaving you with more energy.
- Eat your veggies. Eating enough vegetables is a very important measure to making sure that the energy level is maintained at optimal levels. Drinking juice of clean, organic vegetalbes on an empty stomach, is a good way to get a lot of these phyto-nutrients in your system (use the fibers for something else, like in a smoothie). Eating a salad of vegetables prior, during or after a heavy meal will make you digest the food much better due to the enzymes, fibers and other nutrients in vegetables.
- Drink plenty of clean water. First of all, make sure your tap water is clean. If not, there are many ways to make the water cleaner. I would advise to install an activated charcoal filter on the tap, or use a mug for the same purpose. Then make sure you drink enough water regularly, 2-3 liters of water depending on your daily activity.
- Make sure you have enough vitamin B12 and iron, as a lack of these will influence your energy. The nutritional status also depend on how your digestion and absorption of nutrients are. I could also recommend eating pumpkin seeds, as they are rich in iron. If you want the nutrients from seeds, nuts, beans and lentils to be more easily assimilated, you could sprout them. This also has a very positive effect on energy and vitality.
- You could also try to take supplements to boost vitality, which include maca, mucuna, licorize (not if high blood pressure). Choose a well renowned brand, as the quality tend to be better.
- There are also ways to boost energy and vitality through what I call energy workout. This includes qi gong, tai chi, yoga and many more. This is a very good way of gradually building up ones vitality.
Remember, take it slow. Gradual progress is much better, than aiming too high too soon.

Ringo Starr has announced that his All Starr Band will tour the Pacific Rim this winter with select dates in New Zealand, Australia and Japan. The band is the same line up which just completed a North American tour this past summer and features Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr.Mister), Todd Rundgren, Mark Rivera, Gregg Rolie (Santana & Journey) and Gregg Bissonette.
'The tour this summer was just GREAT - I love playing with this band and I can't wait to get back out and play with them again," Ringo said. "I am looking forward to revisiting Japan with the All Starrs and of course New Zealand and Australia. Peace and Love!"
The tour is being produced by Dave Hart and as always fans can expect to hear a jukebox worth of hits. Ringo classic's such as "It Don't Come Easy", "Photograph", "Little Help From My Friends", "Yellow Submarine" and "Wings", from Starr's recently released 17th solo record, Ringo 2012 (Hip-O/Ume). All Starr's hits include "Rosanna," "Broken Wings," "Hello It's Me," "Black Magic Woman."

Announcing STARTTLS Everywhere: Securing Hop-to-Hop Email Delivery | Electronic Frontie... - 0 views
shared by Paul Merrell on 28 Jun 18 - No Cached
Today we're announcing the launch of STARTTLS Everywhere, EFF's initiative to improve the security of the email ecosystem. Thanks to previous EFF efforts like Let's Encrypt, and Certbot, as well as help from the major web browsers, we've seen significant wins in encrypting the web. Now we want to do for email what we've done for web browsing: make it simple and easy for everyone to help ensure their communications aren't vulnerable to mass surveillance.
t's important to note that STARTTLS Everywhere is designed to be run by mailserver admins, not regular users. No matter your role, you can join in the STARTTLS fun and find out how secure your current email provider is at: https://www.starttls-everywhere.org/ Enter your email domain (the part of your email address after the "@" symbol), and we'll check if your email provider has configured their server to use STARTTLS, whether or not they use a valid certificate, and whether or not they're on the STARTTLS Preload List—all different indications of how secure (or vulnerable) your email provider is to mass surveillance.

Biography Ervand Kochar
Ervand Kochar was born in Tiflis on June 15, 1899. He graduated in 1918 from Nersisian School, and, between 1915-1918, also studied at the Arts School of the Caucasus Association for Promotion of Fine Arts (known as O. Schmerling School) in Tbilisi.
From 1918 to 1919 he studied at the State Free Art Studio of Moscow. He returned to Tbilisi, where he was granted a certificate of professor of Fine Arts and Technical Studies by the People's Commissariat of the Georgian SSR.
In 1921 — 1922 Kochar was elected to the exhibition commission of the Union of Armenian Artists and became a member of the «HAYARTUN» (House of Armenian Art).
In April 1922 he left from Batum and traveled abroad — to Constantinople, then to Venice, Rome, Florence and Paris. Kochar's works were first exhibited in Tbilisi in 1921 and the following year in Allied-controlled Constantinople (Istanbul) and in Venice.
By 1923 Kochar had settled down in Paris, where his art was well received and earned an enduring recognition. In 1928 there were reported cases of vandalism towards two sculpture-paintings by Kochar in the exhibition at the Salon des Indépendants. Those works were the first heralds of «Painting in Space».
In February Dr. Alendi delivered a lecture in Sorbonne on Kochar's «new painting». Kochar's Painting in Space one-man show opened in «Van Leer» Gallery. The 15 works presented were new plastic and artistic means of expression which sought to involve time as an additional fourth dimension. The author of the catalogue was French-Polish art critic Waldemar George (1893-1970). In 1929 the international exhibition, «Panorama de L`art contemporain»(«Panorama of Contemporary Art») organized in the halls of the «BONAPART» Publishers, Kochar presented the works of «Painting in Space». Among the participants of the exhibition were Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Robert Delaunay, Henri Matisse, Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Liursa, Joan Miró, Survage, Utrillo, Vlamink, and others. Kochar met Leonse Rosenberg, the well-known patron and connoisseur of modern art, who became a fan of Kochar's art. In 1936, while at the peak of his artistic fame, to the surprise of many, Kochar repatriated to Soviet Armenia, without the least bit of doubt that he was leaving Paris for good. Between 1941 and 1943 Kochar was imprisoned on politically motivated charges, but was eventually freed due to the intervention of his friends from Nersissian School, Karo Halabian and Anastas Mikoyan. Yervand Kochar continued working in Yerevan, earning recognition as an Honored Artist of Armenia in 1956, People's Artist of Armenia in 1965, State Prize recipient in 1967, Soviet Order of Red Banner in 1971 and People's Artist of the Soviet Union in 1976. His most recognized works include the statues of David of Sassoun (1959) which has become the symbol of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia; of Vardan Mamikonian (1975); of Komitas (1969) in Echmiadzin. One of his masterpieces in painting is «Disasters of War». In 1963 The National Museum of Modern Art Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris acquired one of Kochar's works of «Painting in the Space» (1934). He died in 1979 in Yerevan. A museum dedicated to his art opened near Yerevan's Cascade in 1984. In 1999 UNESCO marked Kochar's centennial as one of the «outstanding dates» in world art. In 2010 Armenia's Union of Artists opened an exhibit dedicated to Yervand Kochar's artistic legacy marking 110 years since the artist's birth.
He was married to philologist Manik Mkrtchyan (1913–1984), with whom he had two sons, Haykaz Kochar (1946) and Ruben Kochar (1953).

D'Agata, Raffaele (2007) On globalisation and twentieth-century history: some inquiries about a comparative approach. Annali della Facoltà di Lingue e Letterature Straniere dell'Università di Sassari, Vol. 4 (2004 pubbl. 2007), p. 193-216. ISSN 1828-5384. Article.

Understanding globalisation appears to be the main motive for studying twentieth-century international history today. Though, there is no shared opinion among scholars until now about how any facts we know may fit such a viewpoint. And that requires some theoretical work in the first place. Of course, the current meaning of globalisation is not very far from everyday life: it might sound rather trivial, as well. But that is no reason to create any unnecessary sophistications while stating it. To most people, globalisation simply means that governments throughout the world either do not want or simply cannot effectively tell private business people what to do and what not to do about their money - as far as any of the latter do control any money in abundance. And that is right. Moreover, governments in a globalised world either do not want or simply cannot effectively tell that even to people from abroad who come to make business in their country. In a globalised world, governments are no players in the game about who gets how many life chances and who loses how many - or stays with how few. Neither taxes nor government spending or currency control are meant to influence results in that field. On these assumptions, one might ask whether enlarged electoral franchise and free ballot would ever be easily matched with such behaviours on the part of governments. Indeed, that sounds like a crucial question - especially to historians. We shall get busy about it.

As with Bentley last week, the thing to keep in mind about Clarkson is that they are very bad against out-of-conference opponents. A quick look at their non-conference record (1-5-4) will tell you that straight away.
Now, okay, first, scoring 25 goals in 10 games isn't very good at all (so bad, in fact, that Lowell's underwhelming total offense this season is actually superior by a very slim margin), but allowing 30 in 10? Yikes. That is bad. And the thing is, 10 of those goals were scored by Colorado College across two games, which you'll recall as the team Lowell held to just one goal. Another six were scored by Niagara in two. Another five by Canisius in two. Another three by RIT. Another three by Mercyhurst. Another three by Holy Cross.
If you're starting to see a pattern develop, you're right. These teams are pretty much universally bad, and pretty much universally scoring a good amount of goals against Clarkson. We saw someone mention that Lowell was the Golden Knights' best non-conference opponent this year, which, given the season our River Hawks have had, can't be good. However, let's also keep in mind that just one of Lowell's losses this year has been against a non-conference opponent (that being Denver, which just tuned up BU in their home rink a lot worse than they gave it to Lowell in the same building).
Obviously, we can't have watched that Bentley game and come away feeling like Lowell is a team that's going run a game on the road against anyone, but at the same time, if the group that showed up against Harvard, for instance, were to swing by Potsdam this weekend, the games could quickly devolve into bloodbaths in favor of the visitors, and we wouldn't be too sad about that. In fact, we tend to think it's pretty crucial that the team actually show up for these games because, apart from the threat of sinking back below .500 after just getting back to that level for the first time since the win over Colorado College, they can't lose whatever confidence they might have had after the Harvard game and the perseverance gleaned from not going quietly into the night against Bentley when it so easily could have (and looked like it might). After this weekend the 'Hawks have a pair against Vermont, and nothing but league opponents the rest of the way. Getting into that part of the schedule with only one non-conference loss, and in its first non-conference game of the year no less, will probably be crucial for a lot of reasons.

In Warren Buffet's 2011 annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, he talked about gold as an investment. "Today the world's gold stock is about 170,000 metric tons. If all of this gold were melded together, it would form a cube of about 68 feet per side. (Picture it fitting comfortably within a baseball infield.) At $1,750 per ounce – gold's price as I write this – its value would be $9.6 trillion." He goes on to point out that you could buy all the farm land in America plus ExxonMobil, the world's most profitable company, 16 times over and still have $1 trillion dollars of "walking around money." His main point was that fertile land and a successful company produces products that generate income while gold does not. In a hundred years, Buffett notes, the gold would still be sitting there while the productive land and company would have generated trillions of dollars of income.
At that time, my colleague and I had a conversation piece that was a physical reminder of the price of gold sitting on his desk for months—one gram of gold. A gram is 1/16th of an ounce. So that sliver, about the size of your thumbnail, cost over $100. Since Buffet's letter was published in February 2012, gold's price has fallen to about $1,250 per ounce while the S&P 500 rose from below 1,400 to over 2,000. That's a drop of almost 30% and a gain of over 40% for stocks.
Given gold's decline the past two and a half years, does it make sense to have it as a part of our portfolios? We will address this question by giving 2 shaky reasons and 2 solid reasons to own it.
Shaky Reasons to Own Now:
- "I will make easy money on the next run up in the price of gold." Gold is still up almost 200% over the past 10 years. The price, as we have seen the past few years, can go down.
- "Owning gold is a sure hedge against falling stock market prices." A quick check of the 2008/2009 stock market decline shows that gold prices fell during the pull back (though not as much). Since then, prices have often moved in the same direction as stock prices. How much of a hedge gold will be in the next pull back is questionable.
Solid Reasons to Own Now:
- "Just like a government central bank, I want to keep some of my reserves in gold." Have you ever thought of gold as a currency? It can be used as a portable means to store purchasing power. Much of it's limitations as an investment (and its suspect value) can also be said of cash, especially in a low interest rate environment. A big plus for gold, however, is that no government can simply print (create) more of it out of thin air.
- "Diversification." Simply put, we don't know what tomorrow holds in terms of inflation, world economics, or asset prices. Things change. The factors that allowed a financial genius like Mr. Buffet to succeed from the mid '60s through today are not promised to us as we move ahead. Owning some may help smooth out the ride in our portfolios over the long haul.

NHS Healthcare
Want to make a complaint about NHS Healthcare?
Before deciding to make a complaint you should try and talk to the organisation concerned, as it is often possible to sort out a problem straightaway.
This means your concerns could be resolved quickly and informally without going through a formal complaints process. If you have tried this approach and still feel unhappy about the matter you are entitled to make a formal complaint.
Whatever your complaint it is a good idea to keep a record of all verbal and written communication, Use this form to keep track of your complaint.
Who can complain?
Anyone can make a complaint about health and social care services they have used. If you wish to complain on behalf of someone else you may need to have their written permission.
Who should I complain to?
Who you contact to complain will depend on, whether you are complaining about health care or social care, and whether that care is paid for by public funds or you have paid for it yourself. Please read through the follow information regarding complaints, so you can direct your concern correctly.
Whatever your complaint it is a good idea to keep a record of all verbal and written communication, Use this form to keep track of your complaint.
How to make a complaint about the National Health Service (NHS)
If you are unhappy with the care you have received from the NHS, you have the right to make a complaint. Where possible, you should contact the NHS service directly (hospital, GP practice, optician, ambulance, dentist etc.). You can do this in person, by telephone, email or letter.
When you contact the service, ask to see a copy of their complaints procedure, as this will tell you who to contact and how they will handle your complaint. Dealing with them directly will give the NHS service a chance to sort out any problem you might have and put things right for you. You might find these self-help guides written by Action Against Medical Accidents useful in understanding the complaints process, and how it is meant to work. If you are not able to follow this, or if you feel worried about contacting the NHS service directly, you can complain to other parts of the NHS instead:
Independent Health Complaints Advocacy (IHCA) is a free and independent service that can help you make a complaint about the NHS. In Merton this service is provided by POhWER and they have a wide range of information to support you in making an NHS complaint. They can also provide advocates to work with you and ensure you understand your options and help achieve the outcome you are seeking.
E email:firstname.lastname@example.com
W www.pohwer.net
Not satisfied with the response you got?
If you are not happy with the final reply from the health service you have the right to ask the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman to investigate your complaint. Their role is to investigate complaints where individuals have been treated unfairly or have received poor service from government departments and other public organisations and the NHS in England.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman can be used if you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint or how it was dealt with by any NHS health service after going through all the stages of their complaints procedure. You can contact the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman on:
T 0345 015 4033 / Text phone 0300 061 4298.

recharging my batteries
What I got most from being a part of Vancouver ChangeCamp is, a feel of "I can do it"; I am still, sort of, struggling finding a place and feeling a sense of contribution in this society, and I was somewhat sceptical about one can change for the better. I was at least aware something "big" was changing in many ways, and things like Occupy movements are clearly a new thing that I've never seen before. But I didn't know how to handle it; I didn't know how to respond to it. I don't still have a clear stand on those movements, but now, having attended ChangeCamp, I am not closing my eyes. I do not want to be a passive adopter. Rather, I would like to be an one of people who believe in change and act for change.
I know we have so many problems in,, everywhere, but I don't want to be just blaming others and not taking any responsibilities. I don't want to say, "that's how it is", and close eyes.
"use your own two feet to move to whatever place you can best contribute."
I would like to do that.
Thanks #vanchange.
ps: here is a great write-up about the event.

« How risky? The elements of an effective payments risk management program | Main | Is the United States payments industry following in the footsteps of the Netherlands? »
January 23, 2012
PIN authentication versus signature authentication
In the United States, surveys from several organizations help us determine approximate total fraud losses by different payment instruments. For example, the American Bankers Association's 2011 Deposit Account Fraud Survey Report estimates that 2010 industry fraud losses totaled $893 million for checks and $955 million for debit cards. The Nilson Report puts 2010 payment card fraud losses at $3.56 billion. And a 2011 PaymentsSource report estimates that bank card issuers experienced fraud losses of $1.16 billion in 2010.
Some of these industry surveys actually fail to illustrate the complete risk landscape—we must also consider trends in the underlying usage of various payment mechanisms. To better assess risks to financial institutions from various payment types, it is useful to compare fraud losses on a per-unit basis. By doing this for credit card, signature debit, and PIN debit transactions, the effectiveness of PIN authentication in preventing payment card fraud becomes clear (see the chart).
Credit card loss rates are the largest among payment cards and growing
According to PaymentsSource's bank card profitability studies, financial institutions' credit card-related fraud losses grew each year between 2006 and 2008, rising from $1 billion to $1.11 billion. After an aberration in 2009, when credit card fraud losses fell by 14 percent, fraud losses grew again in 2010, by 22 percent. The Nilson Report data showed a similar trend in both the number and dollar value of credit card transactions during this time period.
The Nilson Report data provide the basis for determining per-unit credit card loss estimates for financial institutions. On a per-transaction basis, annual credit card-related fraud losses reached their highest level in 2010, at 7.5 cents per transaction. This figure represents an almost 9 percent increase from the 2006 figure, which was 6.9 cents. Credit card fraud losses on a dollar-volume basis increased by nearly 27 percent during this same time period, from 6.7 basis points (or 0.067 percent) in 2006 to 8.5 basis points in 2010.
Debit card fraud loss rates vary by authentication method
Likewise, financial institutions have seen debit card fraud losses rise steadily since 2004. According to this PULSE Debit Issuer Study, fraud losses from purchase transactions (excluding losses from ATM fraud) were about $201 million in 2004. Looking at PULSE study data in conjunction with data from The Nilson Report shows that debit card fraud losses from point-of-sale transactions peaked at $880 million in 2010.
However, a large disparity exists between debit card fraud based on the authentication method employed. For example, signature debit transactions accounted for an estimated $804 million—91 percent—of the total debit card fraud in 2010.
The increase in fraud losses should come as no surprise given the rapid growth in debit card transactions over the past six years. According to The Nilson Report, debit transactions grew by more than 122 percent, or 14.3 percent on an annualized basis, between 2004 and 2010. Data from PULSE studies show that in 2010, financial institutions experienced a 2.7-cent fraud loss for every signature debit transaction, and a 0.5-cent loss for every PIN debit transaction. This translates to 7.5 basis points for signature transactions and 1.3 basis points for PIN transactions on a per-dollar volume basis. These figures are up from the 2006 numbers of 1.9 cents (or 4.8 basis points) and 0.3 cents (or 0.8 basis points), respectively.
Comparing signature and PIN transactions
Based on per-unit fraud losses of credit and debit cards, financial institutions have significantly more exposure to fraud losses from card payments with signature authentication than from those with PIN authentication. Yet PIN authentication is not accepted for credit transactions, and it accounted for only 32 percent of debit card purchase transactions in 2010. Although the fraud rates for both signature and PIN transactions have increased over time, signature transactions still exhibit significantly higher loss rates, especially when comparing the transactions on a per-dollar volume basis. The large disparity in per-transaction fraud losses between credit card and signature debit transactions stems from credit card transactions having an average ticket size of nearly 2.5 times that of signature debit transactions. Ultimately, PIN debit offers an additional and superior layer of authentication not offered on credit and signature debit transactions.
Admittedly, the limited number of merchants in the face-to-face environment who have the capability to accept PIN-based transactions, combined with the lack of PIN-based acceptance in the card-not-present environment, limits the use of PIN transactions. But given the ongoing displacement of cash and checks by payment cards and other forms of electronic payments, the continued adoption of PIN debit transactions and the potential introduction of PIN authentication for credit card transactions could go a long way toward reducing growing payment card fraud. However, given recent EMV-related statements that Visa and the Merchant Advisory Group have issued, it remains unclear whether or not PIN authentication will become the standard in the United States.

In today's world it is more important than ever to live a sustainable lifestyle. With climate change, diminishing water supply and disappearing resources, people must take responsible action with steps to reduce their eco footprint on earth. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2009 Americans produced about 4.4 pounds of waste per day and only recycled about 1.3 pounds of the waste daily. This adds up to only 82 million tons of waste getting recycled out of the 243 million tons produced (EPA).
Basic recycling is a simple and easy step that all people should do to significantly reduce their eco footprint.
It is estimated that 60 percent of garbage thrown in landfills could actually be recycled.
Getting Started
To start, check in with your nearest recycling facilities, or log on to www.earth911.org to see what items are accepted in your area. Many items that are not accepted in curbside programs can be recycled at drop off facilities.
Once you know what to recycle, getting into a regular routine is fairly easy. It is helpful to designate a specific area for recycling such as the laundry room, basement, garage etc. Gather about a half dozen recycle bins, trash cans or plastic tubs and label them for different recyclables such as plastic, mixed paper or aluminum. Place these bins in your new recycling area. Having this space set aside is an important factor to a successful recycling routine.
Listed below are the common household products that can be recycled at most facilities.
- beverage cans
- tin cans
- aluminum foil
- pie plates
- trays
Be sure to check with your local facility to see if removing paper labels is necessary.
Corrugated Cardboard
Easily recyclable, cardboard is often one of the first things people think to recycle. However, sturdy cardboard boxes work great for indoor storage also. Don't have the money to buy plastic bins for your recyclables? Use old boxes instead and recycle them when they get worn and flimsy.
Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a light bulb for four hours.

Both clear and colored:
- Jars
- bottles
Glass bottles and jars are easily recyclable, as most curbside recycling programs accept them. However, be sure to check with your local facilities on how to properly to recycle glass items such as cookware, windows or windshields
Before recycling magazines, check to see if any local doctor's offices or school art classes would reuse them first.
Mixed Paper
- All regular paper (office, printer, lined and scrap paper, etc...)
- All paper board (cereal boxes, soda boxes, product packaging, etc...)
- paper bags
- paper towel and toilet paper tubes
- card stock
- envelopes (without plastic cellophane)
- junk mail
Mixed paper and paperboard is used in a vast amount of product packaging, but most people don't realize, or perhaps don't notice, that much of that packaging can easily be broke down and recycled. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recycling one ton of mixed paper would be like saving 165 gallons of gasoline.
Possibly the easiest item to recycle, newspaper is accepted by a majority if not all recycling programs. However, before recycling, see if any schools or craft programs would be interested in reusing it for projects, or keep it yourself and use it for wrapping gifts or paper mache products.
The energy used when recycling plastic is 70 percent less than what would be used when making it from raw materials.
source: http://www.recycling-revolution.com/recycling-facts.html
- beverage bottles
- bottle lids
- jugs (milk, laundry soap, etc..)
- tubs and lids (butter, sour cream containers, etc...)
- all plastic bags- including food packaging (bread bags, cereal bags, produce bags, etc...)
- yogurt and pudding cups
- plastic wrap and film
- plastic packaging
- bubble wrap
- plastic clam-shells (strawberry containers, etc...)
- beverage cups
- straws and plastic ware
- Other plastic (laundry baskets, tubs, bins, etc...)
Perhaps the most important material for people to recycle, plastic is used in most products and packaging. It is estimated that plastic can take several hundred years to break down in a landfill, and is made up of a precious and diminishing resource-- petroleum. What seems to be a little known fact is that nearly all plastics can be recycled, and many facilities will accept most, if not all, types.
Books on sustainable living
Making the Change
Recycling, while it isn't the only step that one should take to reduce his or her eco footprint, it makes for a great stepping stone into the world of sustainable living. Until manufacturers begin producing environmentally friendly products and packaging, it is up to consumers to purchase products with sustainability and recycling in mind. By beginning a recycling program in your own household you will see how much of an impact you can make just by properly disposing of your waste.

For all of its incredible potential to maximize ad spend, programmatic isn't without its share of challenges. Some arises from a misunderstanding of what programmatic is and how it works. Others focuses on practical hurdles that can make programmatic buying more complex. A key concern is the problem of wasted impressions.
Without proper controls in place, programmatic campaigns could potentially waste significant portions of ad budgets purchasing worthless impressions. But this can be controlled and avoided with the right strategy and systems in place. Let's delve into two main issues a lot of media buyers are worried about—and how you can mitigate these issues in your campaigns.
Too Much of a Good Thing Can Be a Bad Thing: Wasted Ad Impressions
Ever been to a website and seen multiple copies of the same ad plastered across the screen? Or get hit with the same message repeatedly over just a few hours? You probably didn't click on any of them. If anything, the advertiser responsible for them probably made a poor impression. These issues are commonly referred to as "Ad bumping" or "Ad Crowding". The potential of this happening programmatically cuts to the heart of ad display concerns.
Each impression could have been more effective if it were served strategically and proper display controls were put in place. What if, instead of overwhelming people with ads all at once on the same page, the advertiser served impressions after a specific time interval that had been proven (through testing) to convert the best?
Additionally, frequency capping allows you to limit the number of times users are served ads over a certain time period. You can be persistent and create multiple touchpoints—without overexposing your brand by inundating people with ads.
You can even use data generated via programmatic buying to find a frequency "sweet spot": the optimal quantity and timing of ads to serve for maximum ROI. A data partner can help you adjust frequency caps mid-campaign, making data-driven decisions to dial in a more profitable campaign.
Shots in the Dark: Ad Viewability Concerns
What happens when you serve an ad, but the person you're trying to reach never sees it? Not much. They go along with their day while the media buyers are left with the bill. This happens all the time with 56.1% of all ads served online never actually being seen.
One reason why viewability issues are so prevalent is because advertisers end up inadvertently bidding on impressions that are "below the fold." The ads serve correctly, but people don't see them because they never scroll down the page after landing on the website.
Thankfully, publishers and the industry as a whole have been responsive to viewability concerns. The digital advertising industry has been focused on "ads served" for years. But pressure from media buyers has shifted the focus towards viewed impressions. Facebook has already adopted a viewable standard; they don't measure ad impressions unless it enters the user's screen.
There is still significant variation in inventory transparency across ad networks, but the overall trend is to arm media buyers with more information to make the best bidding decisions.
Maximize Your Ad Spend and Make The Most of Programmatic
The impact of properly controlled inventory waste is tremendous. Ad display issues and viewability concerns have the potential to waste a large chunk of your ad spend. But with proper controls in place including: proper technology stack for bidding and optimization, automated detection system, precise targeting, and a strategy that identify audience caps, you can reduce this waste to a negligible level and reap the rewards.

Merodiq, first of all, the plugins from the pic aren't plugins. They are main features of TRUCK MMX, the controller from KLF. I'm not sure the name of the equivalent plugins, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen them for FAST.
About the vuvuzela plugin, I'm not sure. Perhaps it jsut works with annoying sounds lol

I make NO apologies for not consulting Black people or seeing what's popular when I chose my faith.
I chose my God because He chose me, and not because we share the same race.
Don't insult me by claiming I have a "slave mentality" and was forced into my religion.
"Religion" is man-made. I have a relationship. Last I checked, love is a decision.
If you knew what it meant to truly be Christian, then you'd know it can't be "forced".
But I'm still being ruled and controlled "by the man" since you have knowledge on lock, right? Of course.
I find it humorous that someone who screams "racist white people" has a racist mentality himself.
That's hypocritical in every sense of the word. You really should get over yourself.
"…Narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
You're right! I "like totally" refuse to accept your doctrine, and I'm completely "narrow-minded"!
Clearly, it hasn't dawned on you that I can read and understand things quite well.
I've read on my history and multiple others and manage to think for myself.
I'm not rejecting my salvation or refusing to accept Jesus because He didn't raise a fist and sport dreads.
I don't set my beliefs based on who share my shade or try to rebuild an empire that's dead.
MY God has power, and there's power in His name! Whatever He wants….He gets.
You can call yourself a god until the cows come home, but you haven't even powered your way out of debt.
I don't change my beliefs because someone checked my spirit or tells me something I don't wanna hear.
I'm not mixing ideas to make a hodge-podge religion so I'll feel better and make my conscience clear.
Your house – your rules. God's universe – His rules. If you create a system, then call the shots.
Trying to buck the system already in place will have consequences whether you like them or not.
I'm not entertaining anything contrary to the Word. I don't care how pretty it looks.
I've seen the snares when people try to rationalize actions. No, thanks! I'm sticking to the Book.
I'm not "trying this" or "experimenting" with that. Nope, not really open to what you find.
While you're "searching for enlightenment" and the meaning of life, I've already got complete peace of mind.
God won't consult my past to determine my future, so ancient history will remain in my past.
You do you, but respect my choice. Make that recent ignorant comment your last.
"…Narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
I'm on the straight and narrow with my eyes fixed on Jesus. Yes! I'm completely "narrow-minded"!!!
I make NO apologies for not consulting Black people or seeing what's popular when I chose my faith.

July 25, 1991, Section B, Page 10Buy Reprints
The Rev. Hozen Seki, founder of the New York Buddhist Church, died on Saturday at Maui Memorial Hospital in Hawaii. He was 87 years old and had lived in Lahaina on Maui since he retired in 1983 as minister of the church.
He died of a massive heart attack, his family said.
Mr. Seki, who was born in Kagoshima, Japan, followed his father into the Buddhist ministry when he was ordained a minister of the Nishi Hongwanji branch of the Jodo Shinshu sect, the largest in Japanese Buddhism. He graduated from Ryukoku University in Kyoto and pursued graduate studies at Ryukoku and at Columbia University.
He came to the United States in 1930 to serve as minister of the Los Angeles Buddhist Church. He founded the Arizona Buddhist Church in 1933. Three years later he flew nonstop from the West Coast to New York in a private single-engine airplane piloted by two church members -- an unusual flight at that time, when small aircraft were not considered capable of such a feat.
In 1937 Mr. Seki established the New York Buddhist Church, the first Buddhist religious institution chartered in New York State. In 1948 he established the American Buddhist Academy adjacent to the church on Riverside Drive at 105th Street to provide a central source for the study not only of Japanese Buddhism but also of the religion throughout the world.
In World War II, Mr. Seki was interned with Japanese, Italian and German aliens at camps in Maryland, Idaho and New Mexico. After the war, when United States immigration and naturalization laws were changed, Mr. Seki applied for and was granted American citizenship.
He was the author of a number of books and articles in English and Japanese on Buddhism and related topics.
He is survived by his wife, the former Satomi Shiomasu; two sons, Hoken, of Lake Forest, Ill., and Hoshin, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., and a granddaughter.

The college football season will start Thursday August 29. Many football experts will tell you that defense wins games and for the most part, they are right. However, without a good field general on offense your team will not score any points.
The quarterback is as celebrated and maligned at the collegiate level as he is at the professional level. A quarterback must learn the college system his coach runs and must learn to read defenses to get the best he can out of his running and passing game.
Since players only play a maximum of four seasons in college and some less as they choose to head to the NFL early, it is imperative coaches find talented replacements.
Those coaches who are successful in recruiting talented quarterbacks to fit into their system are the ones who win the national championships.
A good case in point is the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Tide has won three of the past four national championships and the last two straight with the same quarterback A.J. McCarron.
There are a myriad of talented quarterbacks at the collegiate level but here is list of the top 5. As the season progresses these players could move up or down, but starting the season they are the top 5. The list is short and there were others that might deserve to be listed by this is the list I have come up with.
- Johnny Manziel, the much maligned Heisman Trophy winner is still uncertain he will play this season, but until he is suspended, he is the best in the nation. He runs as good or better than any other quarterback does and he can thread the needle with his passes.
- Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville might be the best all around quarterback in the country. He is the best quarterback to put on a Louisville jersey since Johnny Unitas. He will be a contender for the Heisman at the end of the season and will be a high draft pick in the NFL Draft.
- Tajh Boyd from Clemson is the most athletic of the group and will be near the top if not at the top when the Heisman Trophy balloting takes place. He will definitely play at the next level and will help the Tigers battle for an ACC Championship
- A.J. McCarron from Alabama might surprise some readers, but when a quarterback helps lead a team to two consecutive national titles, how can he not be near the top of the list.
- Derrick Carr of Fresno State is David Carr's younger brother. Carr had over 4,100 yards through the air last season and tossed 37 touchdown passes. He too will be a player at the next level.
Honorable mention: Braxton Miller, Ohio State; David Fales, San Jose State, Bryn Renner, North Carolina; Marcus Mariota, Oregon

Episodes will cost $39.99. Lost and Damned costs 1600 Microsoft Points ($20) so expect to pay the same amount to purchase Tony individually.
