Introduction to the Web site on Methodological work in statistics
1. At its thirtieth session (New York, 1-5 March 1999), the Statistical Commission requested
the United Nations Statistics Division to proceed with the work on the global integrated
presentation of the work plans of the international organizations in statistical methodology,
and requested all organizations to participate in that endeavour, In addition, the
Commission requested the Division to prepare an annotated list of previously adopted
statistical standards as a companion document to the integrated presentation and to report
to the Statistical Commission on the implementation of the work at its next session.
2. At the thirty-third session of the ACC Subcommittee on Statistical Activities
(Madrid, 14-16 September 1999), the Subcommittee took note of the work of the United
Nations Statistics Division in the development of the web site for the global integrated
presentation of the work of the international organizations in statistical methodology,
and recognized that there were some questions of coverage that were unique to individual
organizations and that the definition of what should be included would be refined in the
light of experience. It was agreed that the Division would send a request to organizations
specifying the information required to complete the database, and that organizations
would, as far as possible, provide the information within 60 days. It was also agreed
that the database would be updated on an annual basis. The Subcommittee recommended
that the Division approach the Bureau of the Conference of European Statisticians (CES)
with a view to rationalizing the information requirements on current methodological
work between the integrated presentation of the CES and the Commission (see ACC/1999/19, para. 2 (d)).
3. Following consultations with the United Nations Statistics Division, the Bureau of
CES agreed in its meeting in November 1999 to slightly adapt its format of presentation
in order to harmonize it with the template of the Division's database and thus facilitate
the extraction of relevant information. The present report describes the content of the
web site database on the global integrated presentation prior to November 1999.
The Commission will receive an oral update on how the new reporting format of CES affects
the work on the United Nations Statistics Division database.
4. The United Nations Statistics Division has entered information into the database on
its methodological work in progress in economic, social, demographic and environment statistics.
The Division has entered into the database the available information on the work in progress
by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat), the Organisation for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE)
in economic, social, demographic and environment statistics.
Additional information will need to be obtained from these organizations on
their projects in order to be able to complete the work in progress template and present
a more complete description of their ongoing, work in statistical methodology.
Information on work in progress undertaken by the International Labour Organization (ILO),
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank which was available from the
pilot study has also been included in the database.
5. Information on its completed work in the areas of economic, social, demographic and
environment statistics has been entered by the United Nations Statistics Division, covering
publications issued since 1949. The sources of the information include
an annotated bibliography of methodological publications issued prior to 1985, based
on inputs provided by many of the organizations, which was prepared by the Division in
the late 1980s the 1993 United Nations statistical publications and documents catalogue;
and descriptions contained in various Division documents.
6. To the extent that information on the completed work of ECE, Eurostat and OECD is
available in the documents of CES on the integrated presentation of the
programmes of international statistical work in the ECE region, the Division has entered
it in the database. Nevertheless, since CES documents do not aim at providing detailed
or comprehensive information on publications already issued and cover recent years only,
the information currently contained in the database on publications by ECE, Eurostat
and OECD cannot be considered to be complete. Additional information will need to be obtained
from these organizations on their publications.
7. Information on work completed prior to 1985 by the Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations (FAO), ILO, IMF, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),
the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Universal
Postal Union (UPU) and the World Health Organization (WHO) is available in the above-mentioned
annotated bibliography of methodological publications, and has been entered into the database
by the United Nations Statistics Division. Information on the organizations' completed
work subsequent to 1985, however, needs to be obtained.

The warehouse club retailer Costco Wholesale Corp. reported lower-than-expected quarterly comparable-store sales and profit as big grocery chains competed fiercely to attract customers with lower prices.
The company's shares fell about 4% to $170.80 in extended trading on Thursday.
The price war in the industry has intensified, with Walmart Stores Inc. reportedly running a new price-comparison test to knock out competition from grocery chains and big-box retailers.
The cutthroat competition has already hit the supermarket operator Kroger Co., which reported its first decline in quarterly comparable sales in 13 years on Thursday.
Costco's total same-store sales rose 3% in the second quarter, which ended February 12, excluding the impact of changes in gasoline prices and foreign exchange.
Analysts on average were expecting 3.2% growth, according to the research firm Consensus Metrix.
Costco said it would raise annual fees by $5, to $60, for Goldstar and business members and by $10, to $120, for executive memberships from June 1.
The fee increases will affect about 35 million members, roughly half of them executive members, the company said.
Membership fees accounted for about 72% of the Costco's operating income in 2016, according to the company's latest annual filing.
Net income attributable to Costco fell to $515 million, or $1.17 a share, in the latest quarter from $546 million, or $1.24 a share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, Costco earned $1.17 a share, while total revenue rose 5.7% to $29.77 billion.
Analysts on average had estimated adjusted earnings of $1.36 a share and revenue of $29.86 billion in the quarter, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Costco performed well in the past two quarters, despite a tough environment for retailers, as it partly benefited from paying lower fees to its credit-card partner Visa Inc.
The company completed the switch to Visa from American Express Co. during the fourth quarter last year. (Reporting by Gayathree Ganesan and Sruthi Ramakrishnan in Bengaluru; Editing by Anil D'Silva)

U.S. Chamber Shrugs Off Its Conflicts With Conservatives
By Joseph J. Schatz, CQ Staff
Some friction over various economic issues doesn't seem to be threatening the working relationship between the business community and tea party-allied Republicans as the 2012 election approaches.
"They are not crazies," U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas J. Donohue said at a Monday roundtable of the often-rebellious cadre of mostly freshmen Republicans. "We understand we're going to get some long-term benefit here."
The U.S. Chamber played a major role in getting many freshman Republicans elected in 2010, helping return the House to GOP control by spending $33 million on congressional races. That money went overwhelmingly to GOP candidates, and it made the Chamber one of the most important financial backers of conservative candidates — although the business lobby now faces competition from a host of well-funded Super PACs.
But many of those new members have given the business community heartburn on a range of issues that have been fundamental priorities for traditional pro-business Republicans. Those include issues such as funding for highways and transit programs, backing for the Export-Import Bank and other measures that have faced opposition from the Club for Growth and like-minded "free-market" groups.
And remember that debate over raising the debt ceiling last summer? At the time, Donohue told an Atlanta business group that the Chamber would "get rid of" Republicans who voted against the debt ceiling increase. The Chamber said the comment was a joke, but some of those freshmen took exception.
But it seems the benefits outweigh the downside.
After all, the Republican majority in the House still sides with the Chamber on most major issues, like avoiding tax increases and trying to prevent or roll back regulations. And as lawmakers prepare for what Donohue calls "a more important election," whatever differences may come out on isolated issues won't threaten the Chamber's campaign support for congressional Republicans.
The Chamber doesn't get involved in presidential races.
Most recently, 93 House Republicans voted against a reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank after a monthslong standoff over the agency, which is rarely a source of great controversy. While the bank has drawn barbs over what conservative groups call its role as a provider of "corporate welfare," the level of opposition this year took the Chamber and other business groups by surprise and forced them to pour more energy into ensuring a renewal, which President Obama signed into law last week.
It also provided Democrats an opportunity to try to drive a wedge between the business community and congressional Republicans.
Donohue said many Republicans "gave us something to think about" on the Ex-Im Bank.
Still, he sees the episode as the result of conservatives "looking around for issues" to take a stand on rather than a core concern for many of the lawmakers who opposed the reauthorization. Ex-Im was on the margins, for instance, compared with the debt ceiling. And there's plenty of leeway on the myriad issues the business world has before Congress. At the Monday roundtable sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Donohue noted the Chamber looks at broad voting patterns, not specific votes. "We never go after a Republican or a Democrat for a vote," he said.
This fall, the Chamber is focusing its resources on 10 or 12 competitive Senate races and a variety of House races, officials said. "There are a lot of races in the House I'm worried about," Donohue said.

It is always such a pleasure to have the lovely Natasha Lester as a guest in our Literary Lounge series, so we are delighted to announce that she will be appearing in the store on Wednesday 5th April at 6.30pm to talk about her new book, Her Mother's Secret. Starting off in England in 1918, this is the story of Leonora who is secretly concocting cosmetics in her father's chemist shop, selling to army nurses, such as Joan, her adventurous Australian friend. When the joy of Armistice Day is overshadowed by the arrival of the Spanish flu which claims her beloved father, Leonora decides to sail to New York, determined to set up her own cosmetics company, even though it is still considered scandalous for women to wear make-up.
Her Mother's Secret is about a brave young woman who is chasing her dream in the face of society's disapproval. Natasha's excellent research, clever plot twists, and captivating characters guarantee this as another book to be devoured in a short time. Tickets are $8.50 including wine-tasting and nibbles.

People and Performance Director
Karen Rayfield
Karen's role is all about ensuring we recruit only the very best people, for both carer roles and office positions. "I have a very acute understanding of a family's need to know that their vulnerable loved one is being cared for with love, dignity and respect," she explained. "It's our duty to ensure that the people we recruit and train surpass the customer's expectations."
"We are nothing without the passionate, dedicated people who work tirelessly for our customers day in, day out," she added. "It's my responsibility to make sure all of our people are hand-picked with our values in mind: a focus on people, excellence every time, listening and understanding and always building on our successes."
"What I enjoy most about my job is getting out and seeing our carers lovingly supporting their customers to live their life the way that they choose. Our carers are inspiring people, for whom I have the utmost respect."

"I thoroughly enjoy my role," she added. "It's fast-paced, challenging and no day can ever be described as boring."
Meet our Recruitment Manager for care assistants
Kelly Dowling
Kelly manages the team that conducts the initial phone interviews with new care assistants (or visiting carers) who are applying to join Helping Hands. Part of the role involves making sure each carer meets all of the standards and checks before they go out to work.
"I started working at Helping Hands in 2016 after many years in management and, more recently, within recruitment," Kelly said. "I currently manage a team of 16, but this is always growing with the opening of our new branches across the country.
"I really enjoy my role," she added. "Knowing that we are providing dedicated carers who enable our customers to continue enjoy living in their own homes is priceless."
Meet our Recruitment Team Leader for our visiting carers
Alexander Cox
Alex's journey as a recruiter with Helping Hands began in 2017, where he led a team of Recruitment and Compliance Coordinators for the South East and London regions. His current role revolves around supporting his team and the branch network with recruitment and compliance, and ensuring the candidates that are recruited reflect and share Helping Hands' values. Once the right calibre of candidate has been selected, Alex ensures the recruitment journey is timely and efficient, providing the best experience.
"My role is unlike any other role I have ever had – it's enjoyable, exciting and varied. I take pride in knowing that everyday our actions in Recruitment change people's lives; not only the lives of our customers, but the lives of our newly appointed recruits."
Meet our Head of Talent Acquisition
Kim Kennedy
Searching for talented individuals to join our support teams across all head office functions is what our Head of Talent Acquisition, Kim, is passionate about. Her team also works tirelessly to fill the vacancies in our rapidly growing network of branches across the country.
Kim describes herself as "a really driven person – highly energetic, happy, and positive," which are all vital qualities for doing her role. "I can be in Durham interviewing a branch manager one day, in Eastbourne the next, or on a tube in London going to meet a potential head of department," she said.
Recruiting the people who fit our values and will always go the extra mile to look after the welfare of our customers and carers is critical. "It is vital that we always think about how each candidate will fit with the business. Are they bright? Do they share our values? Will they put others and the team ahead of themselves? These are all questions I ask myself when interviewing a new candidate."

When all around seems bleak and cold
Remember please this story old:
Midst Roman rule and Herod's law,
And poverty that made men sore,
A light shone forth in dark of night
That told of God, the one true Might.
And three wise men beheld this sign,
Responded to this light divine,
And came with gifts to recognise
The gift of God before men's eyes.
The baby Jesus, innocent,
The problems of the world would rent.
Sin, sickness, death he would dispose;
God's love for you and I disclose.
That light still shines, it never went,
For it was from heaven sent.
So this Christmas, through the year,
If ever doubts and fears appear,
Remember please this story old:
The Christ is here. Look up! Behold!

Action: Reaction • Range: Perception • Duration: Instant • Cost: 3 points per rank
You can use victory points or ranks of Luck to affect others in various ways (see victory points). For each rank you have in this effect, choose one of the following capabilities:
You can spend a victory point or use Luck on another character's behalf, with the normal benefits.
You can bestow your victory point or use of Luck on others. You can use this only once on any given character in a round, but the recipient may use the bestowed point(s) normally.
You can spend one of your victory point or uses of the Luck advantage to negate someone else's use of a victory point, use of their Luck advantage, or a Gamemaster-imposed complication (at the GM's discretion). The latter also eliminates the complication, however, so no victory points are awarded for it.
You can spend a victory point or use Luck to force someone else to reroll a die roll and take the worse of the two rolls. The target of this last effect may spend a victory point or use Luck to avoid having to reroll.
Area: Your Luck Control effect works equally on all targets in the affected area. You spend only one victory point, but the subjects are each affected individually. You must apply the same effect to all subjects at once. +1 cost per rank.
Luck: Each rank in this extra gives you the benefit of a rank in the Luck advantage (see Luck in Advantages). It is subject to the same limits as the Luck advantage set by the GM. Flat +1 point per rank of Luck.
Selective: This extra, applied to Area Luck Control, allows you to choose who in the area is or is not affected by it. +1 cost per rank.
Action: If the action required for Luck Control is increased beyond a reaction, it is only usable during your turn each round, which limits its usefulness in responding to the actions of others. –1 cost per rank.
Ranged: Luck Control normally requires no attack check; if Ranged, it does. –1 cost per rank.
Resistible: Targets of your Luck Control get a resistance check—usually Dodge or Will—to avoid its effects. –1 cost per rank.
Side Effect: As a particular side effect of Luck Control, if your effort to alter luck fails, you suffer a setback without earning a victory point. Effectively the GM gains a "free" complication against you. –1 or –2 cost per rank.

Durable Power of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document drawn up by one person, the principal, that gives another person, the agent, the authority to make decisions in the principal's stead. The type of decisions the agent may make are specified in the document and generally involve either financial or medical care issues. A regular power of attorney expires if the principal is incapacitated; a durable power of attorney continues in full force even the principal in incapacitated. Therefore, durable powers of attorney may be subject to abuse.
Financial Abuse
An agent operating under a durable general financial power of attorney has virtually unlimited authority over the incompetent principal's affairs. He may do almost any act the principal might have done for himself had he been competent, including collect revenues, pay bills, buy and sell real estate and make gifts. And, the agent generally operates without oversight. The American Bar Association notes that a durable financial power of attorney is often termed a license to steal. Even agents who are family members can abuse the trust they have been granted. Lori A. Stiegel of the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging cites in a fact sheet published on the National Center on Elder Abuse website the example of a daughter who was given a durable financial power of attorney by her mother. When her mother became incompetent, the daughter sold her house and used the money to finance her own luxurious lifestyle.
Medical Care Abuse
An agent holding a durable power of attorney for medical care makes critical health care decisions for an incompetent principal. She has authority to select the doctors who will treat the principal and to accept or refuse different treatments on the principal's behalf. She also chooses care facilities for the principal and makes end-of-life decisions. While a health-care agent has less incentive to abuse her authority than a financial agent, the two agencies may be given to one individual, as in the case of the only child of an aging parent.
Court Review
If a principal is competent, she can revoke a durable power of attorney by creating a revocation document. An incompetent principal does not have that option and family and friends must act to protect her. Bringing a civil action seeking court review of an agent's actions can be expensive and messy, yet court review is the only manner to stop an abusive agent. If a court determines that the agent is abusing his authority or violating his fiduciary duties, the court can revoke the durable power of attorney and appoint a guardian or conservator. Procedures to obtain court review vary among states.

In an effort to improve Canada's ability to anticipate, detect and respond to food safety risks, the Canadian Federal Government recently announced it will invest C$30.7 million ($24.7 million USD) over the next five years in the country's own food safety system.
According to a recent article, this investment will help fund the new Food Safety Information Network (FSIN), which will help connect federal and provincial food safety laboratories and regulators across the country, and standardize food safety testing while leveraging existing laboratory capacity.
In a statement, the government said the new network will help rapidly identify, mobilize and coordinate laboratory surge capacity and capabilities during complex food safety incidents and emergencies. The FSIN will also allow near-real time sharing, organization and analysis of food safety information across the country to inform more preventive and timely risk management decisions.
As stated in the article, the network will also offer Canadian consumers the following benefits:
- Faster, more proactive food safety interventions.
- More preventive food safety programs and inspections to better protect consumers.
- Strengthened laboratory emergency response during food safety incidents and emergencies (which should speed up recalls, for example).
- Improved guidance on reducing food safety risks.
Federal partners to FSIN include the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
"Our government continues to invest and work collaboratively to strengthen food safety by sharing information and laboratory data," Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transport, said in another article. "These investments mean near real-time sharing of food safety information and laboratory data allowing the government to better manage emerging issues and respond to food safety incidents and emergencies.

- "You Knights [...], lead your followers in battle. Take enough devastation to feed your worm, and a little more to grow, and take the tithe of your followers. Then take another portion, as much as you dare, and use it for your own purposes. But if it is too much, your peers will kill you and take it. Then tithe the remainder to the Ascendant you serve."
- — Oryx, the Taken King
Knights are a caste of formidable Hive creatures.[1] They are elite soldiers, and typically wield Hive Boomers or a Cleaver.[2] They can also summon a shield directly in front of them for a few seconds to block incoming fire, while regenerating a small amount of health in that time frame. [3] On top of their formidable weaponry and defenses, Knights are even more deadly on Nightfall strikes where they acquire an Arc shield and increased effectiveness with their weapons. Some other knights, such as Blades of Crota or Urzok, the Hated, innately have Arc shields.
Knights are promoted from the ranks of the Hive's Acolytes, chosen based on their ability to fight and feed their hungering Worm on the power of conquered foes.[4] In Destiny 2, Knights gain a new look, appearing to sport a horned helmet, tattered cape, and glowing sigil along their faces.
- "It put up a hand and swallowed the rocket with a wall of shadow."
- — Grimoire description.
Clad in armor as hard as relic iron, Knights serve as the Hive's forward heavy infantry and are their most versatile soldiers due to their superior arsenal. All Knights are capable of putting forth a Wall of Darkness, a large, black and ovular shield that completely protects them from frontal assaults and restores a set portion of their health. They are also surprisingly fast given their heavy armor, and are far more durable than most other Hive troops. Additionally, when on low health, they will be sent into a berserker rage, rushing towards the player for a high-damage melee attack while regenerating some of their lost health. The weapon they carry will affect their combat behavior.
Knights are most commonly armed with a Boomer, a handheld siege weapon capable of launching explosive Arc bolts that have devastating splash damage properties. Each bolt has a long effective range and can easily be fired one after another, forcing Guardians to fall back to another position on the battlefield while allowing the Knight to slowly corner his target. Since this dissuades any sort of close range combat, long-range weaponry with sustained damage output will fare the best against such Knights.
Alternatively, they can also be seen with a Shredder, a one-handed carbine that launches Void bolts one after another. While in the hands of an Acolyte, this weapon doesn't deal much damage, but in the hands of a Knight, it is far more accurate and has a faster rate of fire. This means that the player can get more easily suppressed by them. Knights with this weapon tend to stick to a certain distance and will try to re-position themselves if they are overtaken. Concentrated fire at any range will hold them in one place.
Knights armed with a Cleaver are some of the deadliest close-range enemies the player will encounter. They will constantly rush towards their target to land a series of powerful sword strikes, and will not stop until they kill them. Keep them at a distance to negate the use of their weapon and concentrate your fire on them to keep them stunlocked.
Destiny 2
Knights behave the same as before, but most now carry new crossbow-like weapons called Splinters, which shoot a fanning spread of Solar bolts.
In Warmind, new variants of Knights appear under the Grasp of Nokris faction. Some Knights wield their trademark Cleavers but are also equipped with a shield. The shield provides enough protection for the Knight to close the distance with its target but it can still be destroyed. Otherwise, the Knights remain the same.

Wooden Office Chairs (Each)
Wooden Office Chairs (Each)
With a bit of an eighties vibe to them, I know that these glulam chairs won't be to everyone's taste, but in the right setting I think these chairs could look really fantastic! In fact, even though they're most likely office chairs I think they would also work really well as dining room chairs. I particularly like the original orangey-red upholstery fabric – it's a bit worn in places, but not terribly so – and I have a bit of a thing for laminated wood, so the frames really appeal to me!
A slightly unusual, but well priced set of chairs, that with a bit of imagination could look very cool indeed!
Dimensions: Each chair measures 80cm tall x 60cm wide x 50cm deep
NB: Deliveries can be arranged in Joburg for a fee of R250/Please arrange own transport for the rest of the country

472 FROM ALL QUARTERS ... Canberra Night Interdictors T>Y the end of the year, as foreshadowed in Flight last week,-*-* the first night interdictor Canberras will join 2nd T.A.F. in Germany. At first they will be B.6 bomber versions modified tocarry a gun-pack in addition to bombs, but it seems likely that the B.8 will soon take their place.The operational task of the night interdictor is of course approxi- mately the same as that of the ground-attack aircraft by day, buta greater range of equipment and aids are necessary for operation at night, and this the Canberra is well able to accommodate. Aircraft Golfers Forgather '"THE president of the Aircraft Golfing Society, Brigadier-General•*- A. C. Critchley, being down with 'flu, the chair at the Society's 11th annual dinner, in London on April 1st, was filled by G/C.Douglas Bader. G/C. D. F. Mclntyre, proposing "The President," said thatBrig-Gen. Critchley had been in America watching helicopters (vehicles to which he himself was opposed!), and that G/C. Baderhad just returned from Indonesia. Mr. H. G. Sturgeon, captain of the A.G.S., responding to the toast of "The Society" by MaxMcCready, said that of the 175 members some 60 attended each of 20 functions in each year. This year (as already reported inFlight) the whole Society was going to Paris for three days. Mr. Sturgeon referred to the value of the Society as a medium forbringing together the "people making small parts" and the big manufacturers. Mr. Brian Songhurst (hon. secretary and treasurer) welcomedcontingents from Scottish Aviation, Short Brothers, Blackburn and General, Percival, Armstrong Whitworth, Boulton Paul,Hawker, de Havilland, Folland and Vickers. W/C. P. B. Lucas remarked on the affinity between golfers andaviators, notably in their discourse, e.g., drift to the right or left on landing, and even (he had heard an American use the expres-sion) "stalling" on a putt. He recalled how, as he was returning from Lille in the late war at 25,000 or 30,000ft, the engine of hisSpitfire failed, and he glided towards a golf course. He had hoped to set the machine down at the first hole, as being theflattest, but (so close was the affinity between flying and golf, to which he had referred) he finished up on the ninth fairway. VISITING THE VICTOR: The Handley Page Victor, subject of these new "Flight" photographs, has lately been sampled by various distinguished visitors. Details in an item ("High Authority") below. High AuthorityT HE Handley Page Victor has lately been "at home" to somedistinguished visitors. On March 25th it was inspected by Mr. Selwyn Lloyd, the Minister of Supply, who flew in it at over50,000ft; and a week later it carried to a similar height Mr. George Ward, Under-Secretary for Air, and Handley Page's deputychairman, A. Cdre. A. V. Harvey. Mr. Ward himself flew the Victor for more than an hour and tried its "automatic landing"characteristic—recorded in the photograph above. Seen in the group picture are: W. H. MacRostie (chief engineer),S/L. H. G. Hazelden (chief test pilot), F/L. J. W. Allam (the test pilot who flew Mr. Ward), A. Cdre. Harvey, Mr. George Ward,R. S. Stafford (director, technical department), and Sir Frederick Handley Page. On April 4th the Victor's performance was sampled by AirMarshal T. G. Pike, Deputy Chief of the Air Staff. NATO Advances 'X'HE fourth anniversary of Allied Air Forces Central Europe-•- —the largest of the NATO air commands, and the medium through which Great Britain contributes to NATO air power—was celebrated on April 4th at Fontainebleau. To mark the occasion the A.A.F.C.E. Commander, Air Chief Marshal SirBasil Embry, addressed a parade of officers and airmen from Great Britain, the U.S.A., France, Canada, the Netherlands and Belgium,which countries contribute to the strength of the command. Britain's contribution is the 2nd Tactical Air Force, with which,since 1952, have been co-ordinated squadrons and wings from Belgium and the Netherlands, to form the 2nd Allied TacticalAir Force. The remainder of A.A.F.C.E.'s operational strength is organized under the 4th Allied Tactical Air Force, to whichcontributions are made by the U.S.A., France and Canada. A German Airline Again ^ APRIL 1st, 1955, was a red-letter day in the calendar for• Deutsche Lufthansa, for on that day the German airline made its first commercial flight for almost exactly ten years. It was onApril 21st, 1945, that a Lufthansa aircraft took off from Temple- hof, Berlin, for Munich and Madrid on what proved to be thelast scheduled service before all aviation in Germany was halted at the dictates of the victorious allies. Now activities have beenresumed to a schedule approved by the Western Powers. At the start of this month domestic services within the FederalRepublic were opened between Hamburg, Diisseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich. The next development will be provingflights to London, Paris and Madrid—starting today, April 15th— preparatory to the inauguration of commercial services withinEurope on May 15th. A transatlantic route to New York will begin operations on June 1st. That will complete the initialphase, although plans have already been made for a service to South America next year, terminating at Buenos Aires, followedby the development of a'route to Teheran via Beirut and Istanbul, with a subsequent extension to the Far East. To implement this programme Lufthansa ordered four Convair340s, all of which were delivered in December and January, and eight Super-Constellations, tjie first of which is due to arrive atFuhlsbiittel Airport, Hamburg, at about the time these words appear. Four Super Connies will be in the airline's hands thisyear and the remainder in 1956. In addition, it has acquired three Douglas DC-3s, to be employed for freight and training, and twoSaab Safirs for initial pilot instruction. The following figures

"A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read" — Mark Twain
Does the idea of reading a work of classic literature give you the shivers? Do you approach Victorian prose with a sense of fear and dread? You're not alone; the classics strike terror in the hearts of many modern readers.
So if you're not up to the task of reading the whole of Bram Stoker's Dracula but want the gist of the original story in an 21st century package, the Graphic Classics series adapts classic works of literature to a graphic novel format. These adaptations include pieces of the original text in panels illustrated by comics artists, bringing the stories to life as you've never seen them before. The series includes a number of classic horror tales by authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Bram Stoker, perfect for October reading.
The artwork is definitely a great asset of the series. Each story in a volume is illustrated by a different artist in a unique style, ranging from high-detail pen and ink works to the more loose psychedelic style popularized in the late 60's.
Volume 1 highlights Edgar Allan Poe and contains many of his most famous pieces – "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amontillado," "The Fall of the House of Usher" – as well as a few lesser-known. The e-book edition includes a retelling of "The Black Cat" illustrated by Gerry Alanguilan.
H.P. Lovecraft's story "Cool Air," found in the Halloween Classics compilation, will chill you to the bone. This volume also contains an adaptation of the film "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" as well as "A Curious Dream" by Mark Twain, showing a darker side of the author better known for his wit.
Bram Stoker's volume of course includes "Dracula," inked in shadowy darkness by Joe Ollman. Tom Pumplun's adaptation of Van Helsing's Vampire Hunter's Guide is illustrated in humorous fashion by Hunt Emerson, known for his work in Fortean Times.
Fear the classics no more, dear reader; these adaptations will tingle your spine and delight your brains. BRAAAAINS!
Many of the Graphic Classics titles are also available for checkout as e-books and can be downloaded in PDF format for use with Adobe Digital Editions software.

If you are a dog owner you already know how important chewing on things is to him. Chewing is important for both your dog's mental and his oral health. The right chew toys will help clean his teeth, exercise his body, and keep his mind occupied. Having the best chew toys available for your dog can also help prevent behavioral issues such as chewing on inappropriate items such as shoes and furniture.
A dog that has chewed on a toy of thirty minutes is less likely to chew on your shoes or your wallet as his mind is kept busy and he will be content. However, it is important to note that everything that your dog puts in his mouth can potentially be harmful. The wrong toys or inappropriate items can cause damage to their teeth or become a choking hazard. Some dogs also develop allergies or some type of infection.
While there are some risks of letting your dog chew on things, it is still important to provide your dog with a variety of chew toys since chewing is a natural behavior and it is important to let your dog engage in it. In fact, if you do not provide your dog with enough chew toys you are likely going to end up with shoes, furniture, and other household items being ruined.
There are several factors to consider when you are purchasing chew toys for your dogs.
While dog's all do not mature in the same manner, it is still important to keep in mind the age of the dog that you are purchasing chew toys for. A 3 week old pup will still have his baby teeth so you will want to look for toys that are plush or made from a soft rubber. Snuggly fabrics will also work well for a young puppy.
From the age of three to nine months your puppy is going to be teething so you will want to avoid hard rubber toys and make sure that you stock up on things for him to chew on. Puppies chew on anything and everything they can get a hold of so make sure that you provide a variety of chew toys for him in order to distract him from chewing on your favorite pair of shoes.
Once your dog is done teething he will have a stronger jaw and be ready for harder rubber toys to play with. He will also have a lot of energy, which makes bouncy balls and rope pulls great choices for your dog.
By about the age of 7 your dog is considered a senior. Older dogs do not have the same amount of tooth and jaw strength as young adults, but it is important to still provide him with some softer toys to chew on find toys that will help keep him active, such as easy to toss sticks and balls. Fortunately there are many great options for toys made specifically made for dogs of different ages.
Even as adults a small yorkshire terrier is not likely to chew as hard as a german shepard, so a smaller dog will often need toys that are a bit more forgiving in order to accommodate their smaller jaws. Similarly, a toy that is too soft may break into small pieces that your dog may choke on or ingest.
If you notice that a toy is starting to become damaged, such as the squeaker being broken or tears appearing in the fabric, it is a good idea to replace it.
The size of a toy is very important. A toy that is too small can be accidentally swallowed. A good rule to follow is that if the toy can fit behind your dog's back molars it is too small for them to play with as it can be a choking hazard.
Even with all of the information above it still can be difficult to navigate the toy aisle for your pup. When you are shopping consider these four types of toys with respect regarding your particular puppy and you will be well on your way to finding the perfect chew toys for your pet.

Tinfiber Pet Toys Dog Toys Rubber Balls Chew Tooth Cleaning Balls
Squishy Face Studio Flirt Pole V2 With Braided Fleece Lure
West Paw Design Zogoflex Tux Guaranteed Tough Treat Stuffable Dog Chew Toy
There are numerous types of balls that you can choose from. There are foam balls, tennis balls, squeaker balls, plush balls, rubber balls, and many more. Each type of ball will bounce in different ways. There are some balls that will float and others that even glow in the dark. These can be great options if you own a pool or live by a lake or if you want to play with your pet in the dark. The classic balls will help keep your dog active as well.
It is important to find the right sized ball for your pup and to make sure that it is durable enough that he can chew on it, but not shred it into tiny pieces. Another great thing about balls is that they encourage you as a pet parent to get involved in play with your pup. This will increase your bond over time.
Here are some of the best types of balls to choose as entertainment and chew toys for your dog.
Rubber balls made out of high quality materials are great chew toys for dogs. Tinfiber offers this great rubber ball that is completely safe for your dog to play with and chew on. This ball has the added benefit of being able to clean your dog's teeth while they are playing with it.
This particular rubber ball is unique in that it has little nubs located all around it. It is these little nubs that will clean the tartar off of your dog's teeth while they are chewing on the ball. Keeping your dog's teeth clean is important as tartar buildup can lead to many oral hygiene issues such as bad breath and gum disease.
In addition, these little bumps help massage the gums of your pup. This can be great for younger dogs that may be teething.
For dogs that love to chew, the Rubber Balls Chew Tooth Cleaning Balls from Tinfiber are the perfect choice. When choosing this ball for your dog make sure that you get the right size. If you get a ball that is too small for your larger dogs it can become a choking hazard. This particular set of balls is good for medium sized dogs.
This rubber ball for dogs is a bit unique as it has rubber feet attached to it. This ball with rubber feet is currently one of the best selling dog chew toys because dogs seem to simply fall in love with this particular toy. The surface of the ball is quite resilient, standing up to even tough chewers, and it also features a tough squeaker that dogs seem to enjoy.
Not only does this toy offer a great chew toy, but it is also wonderful for playing fetch with. The ball has a great bounce, which makes it easy to toss. It is also great because while your dog is chewing on the toy any time that it is dropped it will bounce quite far. This provides endless entertainment for your pup.
Pet owners simply love this toy for many reasons. The hard rubber material that the dog toy is made from makes it difficult for dogs to chew through, which means that you do not have to replace it very often.
While this toy is very durable, it is still important to check it for damage periodically to make sure that it remains safe for your dog to chew on.
The iSqueak ball is a large natural rubber ball that offers an engaging squeak that your dog is sure to enjoy. This ball comes in three different sizes, which makes it a perfect choice for any sized dog that you may have.
JW Pet is known for making high quality dog chew toys and on each and every toy made by the company you will find the logo proudly displayed. This is to ensure that you are getting the brand of dog toy that you paid for.
While many dogs will play fetch with any ball that you throw for them, there are some dogs that are a bit more particular. Even the pickiest dogs seem to truly enjoy the iSqueak ball design. You can choose from a variety of colors to suit your needs.
One complaint about this toy is that the squeaker does not seem to last very long. This is not a problem for many dog owners as the ball can still be used without the squeaker. However, it is important to make sure that you look the ball over carefully for damage and if there are any pieces breaking off make sure to throw it away as this can become a safety issue.
Many breeds of dog love a good game of tug-of-war, either with their owners or even with other dogs. While there are some people who think this type of game can lead to aggression. However, if your dog is properly trained this is not an issue.
The most important thing to remember when playing tug of war and choosing toys for this game is to make sure that your dog does not tear the toy to shreds. Many tug chew toys are plush and often made of leather, linen, rope, or fire hose, so it is necessary to replace the toys as soon as any damage such as shredding occurs.
It is also important to remember to not be too aggressive when playing with your dog. You do not want to rip the toy out of your dog's mouth as this could cause health or dental issues. If you want your dog to let go of a toy you will need to train him to respond to a command such as release or drop it. You should also never pull the toy vertically until the dog's feet come off the ground as this could cause neck, spine, and jaw problems.
This is a large 21 inch long rope that has four knots in it, making it the perfect choice for chewing and tug of war games. It is great for larger dogs because of its length and durability. The rope is made from 100 percent cotton, so it is completely safe for your pet to chew on for hours. This rope is very durable and strong so it will stand up to even the toughest play.
As with all tug toys, this rope promotes play between dogs and their owners. In addition, it promotes exercise as pulling and tugging on the rope is great for the dog. As mentioned tug games, when played correctly provide a great way to exercise your pup.
This 21 inch rope with four knots is made by Pet Champion. Pet Champion is a leader in the dog toy industry because the toys that they make are strong and durable. This rope will withstand even the strongest and roughest play by your pet. This is a high quality interactive chew toy that comes in several patterns from which to choose.
This tug toy was designed by GoughNuts with safety in mind. When playing with a dog, pulling and tugging around his mouth can be a bit dangerous, after all there are teeth involved. With this being said, the GoughNuts design was created in order to keep both the dog and the human safe.
This is a pull toy that is made out of tough and durable material. It is in a figure eight type shape and the middle of the toy is very strong. You grab one end of the pull toy and your pup grabs the other. Tugging and pulling on this toy can provide your dog with a great amount of exercise.
The tough material is safe for dogs to chew on even when a game of tug is not being played. As with any type of toy that you give your dog, make sure that you check it for damage periodically. This toy was made for larger dogs and built to last, but over time it may wear down and need to be replaced, especially if you have a tough chewer.
The flirt pole V2 is a different kind of chew toy for your dog. This is a pole that has a cord attached with a lure at the end. It is designed for interactive play. If you are concerned about the health and wellness of your dog, the flirt pole offers a toy that can help your pup get some much needed exercise with very little effort from you.
This toy works by tapping into the natural prey instinct of dogs. The dogs will try to catch the lure by running, jumping, and changing directions as needed. This pole is extremely durable and will last through even the most aggressive of attacks.
This lure uses bungee cord in order to prevent whiplash or other injuries. If your dog is a chewer, using a toy such as this to make sure that they get enough exercise is important as it will wear the dog out so that they will be more likely to take a nap than to chew on your shoes or furniture.
The Flirt Pole comes with a one year guarantee. You can purchase it and if you have any issues within the first year simply return it for a full refund.
While any type of toy can end up being a chew toy, there are some toys available that are made specifically with chewing in mind. It is best to use these toys for that purpose.

Some chew toys can be stuffed with treats to use for training and for entertainment that lasts for awhile. These treat chew toys should be soft enough to chew without risk of breaking any teeth. The toys should also be durable enough so that the do not break into small pieces.
As your dog is growing from a younger puppy to an adult, you will find that you need to change the size and durability of the types of chew toys that you offer them. When using treats with your dog's chew toys make sure that the treats that you choose to use are healthy so that you can keep your dog happy and healthy all while helping him remain active.
Chew toys that offer treats are a great way to train your dog. This is a stuffable chew toy offered by Zogoflex.

The play core is what truly makes this chew toy unique. If your dog is an avid chewer, this is the toy for them.

This is one toy that your best friend will not be able to crack. The Jolly Egg is made of a very tough plastic that dogs cannot chew through. The oval shape of the toy makes it almost impossible for a dog to get a good grip on and if they cannot truly grip it, the pup will have a lot of trouble chewing through it.
This toy promotes chewing and exercise. Since it is oval shaped your dog will find that it will get away from them quite often. This can lead to fun games of chase as your dog tries to attack the toy.
The Jolly Egg dog toy also floats, so it can be used in the water for those dogs who love to swim.

When looking for the best dog chew toys for your pet you are going to want to truly think about the types of toys that will best entertain your dog. You are the only one who truly knows your dog's personality, so armed with that information you should look for toys that are durable, flexible, and that match how your dog likes to play.
It may take a bit of time to find those perfect toys, but in the end it will all be worth it as your dog will help you choose the toys that he likes best and soon you will be on your way to some fun play time with your pup as well as less destruction of your personal items.

Former Nazareth Area Middle School teacher Shawn Salevsky leaves district court in Nazareth.
(Express-Times File Photo)
drama teacher
pleaded guilty this morning to sexually abusing one of his students during school hours.
Salevsky, 40, of Macungie, admitted he began molesting one of his students on Jan. 15, 2011. The student told investigators that at first Salevsky would rub his shoulders, but over time the rubbing gradually shifted to inappropriate places. This past March, Salevsky exposed himself and tried to force the boy, now 14, to perform a sexual act on him, Northampton County Assistant District Attorney Patricia Broscius said.
Broscius said the student was active in school and community theater groups, and he and the teacher got to know one another outside of class. With approval of the victim's parents, Salevsky would take him to shows and offer him tips on how to improve his craft, she said.
"The parents knew the defendant and trusted him," Broscius said.
The sexual assaults would take place at the middle school, she said. Salevsky would call the boy away from other students to a secluded classroom for a special assignment. Once there, he would lock the door and rub his shoulders under the pretense of relieving stress, she said.
The student did not reciprocate the acts and would try to find ways out of the private sessions, Broscius said. It got to the point where Salevsky would follow him into the bathroom and watch him, she said.
"Other people noted there was quite a bit of infatuation," Broscius said.
The victim was disgusted, repulsed and embarrassed by the assaults, Broscius said. The boy eventually told a female student about the attacks. The two then informed a guidance counselor, who alerted authorities.
"It began to register with (the victim) that this was not going to get better unless he got the courage to tell someone," Broscius said.
The victims' parents sat stone-faced in the courtroom throughout the hearing. They declined to comment. Across the aisle from them, Salevsky's mother wept and leaned on his father for support.
Salevsky, dressed in a dark suit with a blue dress shirt and tie, clutched the panel before him throughout his guilty plea and only spoke to answer questions from Northampton County Judge Paula Roscioli.
The hearing was temporarily delayed when Salevsky paused before pleading guilty. After the hearing, defense attorney Marc Neff said Salevsky was confused when Broscius described the victim as repulsed and ashamed by the assaults. While Salevsky does not deny his behavior, there is no way of knowing the victim's mental and emotional state regarding the sexual assaults, Neff said.
"There's a difference in the underlying facts and the opinion of counsel," Neff said.
Under the terms of his plea, Salevsky pleaded guilty to corruption of minors, statutory sexual assault and indecent assault. He could face as many as 30 years in prison at sentencing scheduled Feb. 6.
In return, prosecutors agreed to drop 20 other charges, including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 16, reckless endangerment and sexual assault.
Roscioli allowed Salevsky to remain free on bail but warned him not to violate its terms or deny his crimes moving forward.
"I assure you if there is any communication between you and the victim, his family or his friends, that will change," she told Salevsky regarding his bail.
Salevsky was suspended from the school in March and fired in May.

Chart of the Week: New Urban Core Apartments Performing Well; Remain at Healthy Lease-Up Rate
By: Walter Bialas
We continue to watch our local multifamily development market. Because construction is still near all-time highs, it is good to take its pulse from time to time to understand market momentum and direction.
Last year, we profiled the CBD and Uptown areas and looked at how the newer properties (those delivered after 2000) were performing – as well as how lease-up and rent were faring in the newest deliveries. At that time, occupancy had softened slightly because so many new units were delivering. Absorption and rent, however were extremely strong.
Today, the story is much the same. Although occupancy for newer units in both the Dallas region and the urban core have edged down in the last few quarters, they are still good. In fact, the Dallas region is still close to 94%, which characterizes a market that is pretty balanced. Newer units in the urban core are now at 91.4%, which is a function of the construction activity taking place now.
On the surface, occupancy at this level might be something to begin worrying about, however, the new deliveries in our urban core are performing well. Based on our review, absorption now is tracking at 23 units per month / project. Although slower than the 30 unit average pace last year, this remains a healthy lease-up pace.
More importantly, rents are strong in these new offerings. Last year, the average rent for the new urban core units was $1,780 per month. This year, average rents are coming in at just over $1,900 per month – a 7% increase. On a per square foot basis, this equates to an increase of fully 10 cents per square foot.
Because DFW multifamily development continues to make the news locally and nationally, we will do a quick "health check" periodically to monitor the market's direction.

Rep. Steve King Worries Free Birth Control Will Make Us A "Dying Civilization"
Ardent social conservative Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has long been worried about the sexual mores of the American populace. "Planned Parenthood," he once declared while arguing that the organization should be defunded, "is invested in promiscuity." "Social moderation," he once wrote, "has certainly contributed to the $14 trillion in national debt."
But now, King sees even more drastic consequences in the sexual behavior of his fellow Americans. Speaking on the House floor last night, King worried that Health and Human Services' decision to require new health insurance plans to cover birth control with no co-pays would literally make America "a dying civilization."
KING: We have people that are single, we have people that are past reproductive age, we have priests that are celibate. All of them, paying insurance premiums that cover contraceptives so that somebody else doesn't have to pay the full fare of that? And they've called it preventative medicine. Preventative medicine. Well if you applied that preventative medicine universally what you end up with is you've prevented a generation. Preventing babies from being born is not medicine. That's not— that's not constructive to our culture and our civilization. If we let our birth rate get down below replacement rate we're a dying civilization.
Predicting the end of civilization is hyperbolic, but King's position on contraceptives is also incoherent. Expanding the affordability of family planning is good policy, especially for someone who would presumably like to see fewer abortions. There are three million unintended pregnancies in the U.S. each year, 20 percent of which end in abortion, and a disproportionate number of which happen to poor women (who, by the way, are more likely to rely on public funding for pre- and post-natal medical care). But, according King's logic, all those accidental pregnancies are actually the desired outcome.
Completing his argument against health insurance that includes birth control coverage, King solemnly mused, "Now none of us would have health to worry about if they prevented us, would we, Mr. Speaker? That is just— It is bizarre. It is Orwellian. It's not even counter-intuitive."

How to Get Your Home SOLD - Hint - The Price MUST Be Right!
Sunday, January 4, 2015
Whether you're considering selling your home one day or soon or in the distant future, pricing your home competitively from the very beginning is the best way to attract buyers, but sellers can also spark some interest with a strategic price reduction.
Reasons for a Price Adjustment:
- If there's been very little buyer activity and no offers after 60 days, it may be time to lower the price in order to appeal to active buyers in your area.
- Don't wait too long to make an adjustment if it becomes clear that prices in your neighborhood have fallen since your home came on the market. If a competing property is reduced first, your higher price could make your property less attractive to buyers.
- Keep in mind that the longer a home sits on the market, the more likely it is to be perceived as undesirable. Buyers may start to assume there is something wrong even if it was simply overpriced next to the competition.
- Delaying a price reduction could end up costing you...big time. If your property takes several months longer to sell, you still have to pay the mortgage, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.
For example in Westchester County's Hudson River Villages, such as Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Briarcliff Manor, houses priced well when they enter the market place, are selling very quickly and very close to the list price.
