I am interested in movement in relation to natural change, as seen in changed states of matter - decay, disintegration, relocation and reformation - in particular the role 'water' plays in this action. In order to discover more about this in my work I find myself exploring the certainty of change, working through ideas of containment, from the conventional form of the vessel, to consideration of the Earth and also our own bodies as vessels.
In order to extend and capture a sense of change in my work I use materials indigenous to inspirational sites, recycling them and re-subjecting them to physical energies and heat. I call on all of my practised techniques, for instance the building and cutting of clay stacks; the taking of surface impressions to create the 'skin' and memory of a place; and the encapsulation of fired clay.
The intention in my work is always to capture a moment in the process of change; to reflect both the physical and spiritual quality of 'place'; and to suggest equal importance in both the inside and the outside of all my forms.
I was selected to be part of the Contemporary Craft Fellowship scheme 2008/9. My Fellowship proposal was to focus on chaotic and unpredictable geological phenomena and broaden my working practice. I wanted to increase the scale of my work and also where it was shown - from temporary exhibition to permanent setting. I have been influenced by the China Clay industries for over 10 years, and on this occasion was given access to Par Buell Driers at Par Docks, Cornwall, that are currently in the process of being decommissioned in favour of a proposed eco-town. I wanted to record its demise through photography, drawing and text. Ultimately to approach the developers of the site with ideas which could be incorporated into the new development. There are no images to view at present.
Jenny is has been working on a Clay Town Project – Whitegold St. Austell which will be shown from 15 September 2018.Jenny has a Permanent installation at the gateway to WILD CORNWALL at the EDEN PROJECT - 15 ceramic 'Cores' celebrating Eden's 15 years.

2009 Polaris Ranger RZR S - Trail Exploring
A Very Hot Side-by-Side Comes to Visit
The side-by-side market has exploded. From ranch to racecourse, side-by-sides are everywhere. While many owners like to blast around the dunes, mountains, or through the desert, the side-by-side's smaller size and performance has caught the eye of trail aficionados, too.
Polaris introduced the Ranger RZR as a very fast, maneuverable side-by-side that was immediately embraced by enthusiasts. Its 50-inch width allowed it to fit on trails larger side-by-sides couldn't. Not willing to leave well-enough alone, enthusiasts immediately began modifying their RZR with long-travel suspensions, engine mods, and other parts. Polaris saw this and introduced the wider Ranger RZR S with factory long-travel suspension and a number of other modifications aimed at the sport driver.
We had an opportunity to test an original RZR a couple of years ago and liked it. When an opportunity arose to borrow a RZR S for an extended period, we took advantage of it. We'll be writing about our adventures with the RZR S as we use it for fast trail exploring and, surprisingly, slow rock crawling.
Almost everyone knows how well the RZR S works going fast in the rough. We were surprised that the RZR S handles the slow stuff so well. The RZR's off-idle lurch is still there as the drive engages, but seems more easily manageable in the RZR S. As soon as you're moving, the RZR S is easy to control and maneuver through obstacles. The long travel suspension lets the RZR S act like a spider over rocks, allowing the tires to stay planted for great traction.
The RZR S has an 800cc (760cc) EFI four-stroke twin mounted transversely behind the passenger compartment that propels the RZR S to a 63-mph top speed. The fuel injection adjusts for all altitudes and attitudes and the mid-engine configuration makes for a balanced package. The long-travel independent suspension features Fox Podium reservoir coilovers that are adjustable for compression damping and spring preload. The long A-arms not only allow more suspension travel, they give the RZR S 12-1/2 inches of ground clearance with the OE 26-inch tires. The RZR S can run in two-wheel drive or has switched on-demand all-wheel drive. In all-wheel drive, the rear wheels are driven until front traction is needed, when power is sent to the front. The rear diff is a spool, while the front is an automatic locking differential, so traction isn't a problem. The 7.25-gallon fuel capacity allows for respectable exploring range.
The passenger compartment has twin high-back bucket seats. The multi-function speedometer boasts a number of other features, including a fuel gauge (some other side-by-sides only have a sight glass in the tank), hour meter, trip meter, etc. The steering wheel is height-adjustable. Two switches, one for lights and the other the AWD switch, are below the speedo. A 12-volt power point has spade lugs on the back for easy accessory connection. The shifter for the PVT transmission is between the seats. The RZR S has both high and low range. For occupant safety, Polaris designed safety nets that are shoulder-high on most adults. The bed area behind the seats is shallow but set up to accept Polaris' range of "Lock and Ride" accessories.
We'll be using the Polaris Ranger RZR S on the trail and will keep you updated on how it works for us. Fast trail exploring just got easier. Tight trails have become accessible. The RZR S is a very hot side-by-side.
2009 Polaris Ranger RZR S
• 800cc (760cc) Polaris H.O. EFI engine
• 60 inches wide with 12 inches of long-travel suspension and 12-1/2 inches of ground clearance
• Fox Podium reservoir coilover shocks– adjustable compression damping and spring preload
• Lowest center of gravity in its class
• Independent rear suspension
• On-demand AWD
• Fender flares and extended rear cab frame supports
• 26-inch Maxxis Big Horn tires with 12-inch alloy rims

Safety Update
Safety Controller Promotes Seamless Integration of Safety and Other Automation Disciplines
Omron Automation and Safety, Schaumburg, IL, introduces its NX series safety controllers that combine automation and safety on the same EtherCat network in a mixed I/O backplane. The design promotes flexibility and minimizes wiring costs. A single intuitive-software programming environment reduces machine- and safety-design time, while an auto- configuration restart function eliminates the need for tools or software to exchange I/O hardware.
"The NX controller represents a decisive step towards the complete integration of safety, logic, motion and vision, in one software platform, on one network and in one control system," says Matt Dodds, product marketing manager.
Such functionality and flexibility make the safety controllers ideal for applications such as robotic workcells, flexible packaging machines and material-handling workcells with multiple access points.
"Combining our integrated system, including safety components, from safety switches and safety sensors to motion devices with integrated safety functionality, provides significant benefits to machine builders who want to simplify and speed machine designs and improve performance," adds Dodds.Omron Automation and Safety: 847/843-7900; www.omron247.com

Sacha Inchi Seeds - NUT FREE ORGANIC ROASTED SUPERFOOD - HIGH PROTEIN & OMEGA - NON GMO - USDA ORGANIC - GLUTEN FREE - VEGAN
Available Pouch Sizes
NET 18OZ (500g)
Sachi Inchi also known as Plukenetia Volubilis, is a perennial plant cultivated in tropical South America, Southeast Asia and Thailand. The seed grows best in warm climates that have acidic soil and a good drainage system. It has been described as a super food due to its nutritional value and potential benefits to the body. The Sacha Inchi seed contains a high level of protein, and is very rich in omega-3 which the human body cannot produce naturally. Sacha Inchi can be digested easily and is unlikely to cause any allergy and irritation.
When planted, Sacha Inchi produces small white flowers which appear in a cluster in its fifth month and bears seed at eight months.
The plant produces seed all through the year. The fruits are green when growing, but become black or dark brown when they are ripe.
When the plant is some years gone, there may be hundred of fruits to harvest, a hundred fruit produces about 400 to 500 seeds. The seeds are oval-shaped, and measure about 2cm in diameter. Sacha Inchi seeds are usually roasted and eaten as a quality snack.
Sachi Inchi is a drupe, which is a fruit surrounding a shell with seeds in it. These seeds form part of what you eat. Sachi Inchi may look like a nut, but it is not and totally unrelated to the legume and nut family.
Sacha Inchi seeds contain a high level of the tryptophan hormone that helps the brain to release stress and reduce inflammation, which could lead to serious illness; it also reduces depression, fatigue, and memory loss.
The Omega -3 in sacha inchi has calcium that strengthens the bone; it can reduce joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis, the oil can be combined with other anti-inflammatory products like ginger to get a better result.
The Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Omega 3, 6 and 9 contained in Sacha Inchi can contribute to improving vision and keeping eyes healthy
Sacha Inchi is essential for healthy hair and skin; the omega 3 fatty acids helps in regulating oil production, keeping skin elastic and hydrated and protecting the skin from sun damage.
Eating the roasted seed has a lot of positive effects on the cholesterol level, which aids in reducing the risk of heart diseases and stroke.
Sacha Inchi contains Iron which helps muscles keep their elasticity and provides oxygen for muscles to move and contract properly.
Sacha Inchi seeds provide a large source of fiber, which helps in digestion, and prevention of constipation by allowing waste to move through the intestines. Its high fiber content will also help you feel full for an extended period of time.
is backordered. We will ship it separately in 10 to 15 days.

Spanish authorities launched an investigation into alleged money laundering by Equatorial Guinea's government in January 2009, and in February unidentified gunmen attacked the presidential palace, prompting the authorities to deny speculation that the incident was a coup attempt. President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the longest-serving ruler in sub-Saharan Africa, easily won a new term in the November presidential election, which was widely regarded as rigged.
Equatorial Guinea achieved independence from Spain in 1968. Current president Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo seized power in 1979 after deposing and executing his uncle, President Francisco Macias Nguema. International pressure forced Obiang to establish a multiparty system in 1992, though he and the ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE) retained power over the next decade in a series of seriously flawed elections.
The president secured another seven-year term with nearly 100 percent of the vote in 2002, then formed a national unity government with eight smaller parties, though key portfolios remained with presidential loyalists. The PDGE won 68 of 100 seats in the 2004 parliamentary elections, and allied parties took another 30. The opposition Convergence for Social Democracy (CPDS) won the remaining two seats.
Also in 2004, the government thwarted a coup attempt that reportedly aimed to install Severo Moto, an exiled opposition figure, as president. The accused coup plotters included former British commando Simon Mann, British financier Ely Calil, and Sir Mark Thatcher, son of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Equatoguinean authorities sentenced Moto in absentia to 62 years in prison, and in 2008 they issued international arrest warrants for Calil and Thatcher. Mann was extradited to Equatorial Guinea to serve a 34-year prison sentence, but he was pardoned in November 2009.
Obiang dissolved the parliament in February 2008 and called legislative and municipal elections for May. A new coalition comprising the PDGE and nine smaller parties won a reported 100 percent of the vote in many districts, taking 99 out of 100 seats in the parliament amid allegations of widespread irregularities. The CPDS, the sole opposition party, was reduced to a single seat.
Prime Minister Ricardo Mangue Obama Nfubea and his cabinet resigned in July 2008 over allegations of corruption and mishandling of the 2004 coup plot. However, Obiang reappointed most of the ministers to a new cabinet headed by Ignacio Milam Tang. Nfubea had taken office after a similar mass resignation in 2006.
In February 2009, a group of unidentified gunmen attacked the presidential palace in Malabo. The government blamed a Nigerian rebel group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), for the attack, although the group rejected the accusation. Despite the authorities' denial that the incident was a coup attempt, they arrested several opposition figures in its aftermath.
Obiang swept the November 2009 presidential election with a reported 96 percent of the vote, though as with past balloting, the election was widely regarded as rigged. The president's main opponent, CPDS leader Placido Mico Abogo, was left with less than 4 percent.
Equatorial Guinea's abundant oil revenues do not reach the majority of its citizens; according to the watchdog group Global Witness, 60 percent of the population lives on less than $1 a day. Equatorial Guinea became an Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) candidate country in 2008. It has until 2010 to be validated as a compliant country, but the International Monetary Fund has noted its lack of progress.
Political Rights and Civil Liberties:
Equatorial Guinea is not an electoral democracy and has never held credible elections. The 2009 presidential election reportedly featured intimidation by security forces and restrictions on foreign observers, among other irregularities. President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who won a new seven-year term, marked his 30th year in power in 2009, making him the longest-serving ruler in sub-Saharan Africa. The 100 members of the unicameral House of People's Representatives are elected to five-year terms but wield little power; all but one of the chamber's seats are held by the pro-presidential coalition. The few opposition parties, in particular the CPDS, are closely monitored by the government. A clan network linked to the president underlies the formal political structure.
Equatorial Guinea is considered one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Obiang and members of his inner circle have amassed huge personal fortunes stemming from the oil industry. The president has argued that information on oil revenues is a state secret, resisting calls for transparency and accountability. In January 2009, Spanish authorities began an investigation after a Spanish human rights organization filed a complaint accusing the Equatoguinean government of engaging in money laundering in Spain; the investigation was ongoing at year's end. Equatorial Guinea was ranked 168 out of 180 countries surveyed in Transparency International's 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Although the constitution guarantees press freedom, the 1992 press law authorizes government censorship. A few private newspapers and underground pamphlets are published irregularly, but they face financial and political pressure. Libel remains a criminal offense, and all journalists are required to register with the government. The state holds a monopoly on broadcast media, with the exception of RTV-Asonga, a private radio and television outlet owned by the president's son. Four journalists were dismissed from the state broadcaster in January 2009 for "insubordination" and "lack of enthusiasm." In June, the only correspondent for foreign media in Equatorial Guinea, Rodrigo Angue Nguema, was imprisoned for four months after publishing an incorrect story about embezzlement by the head of the national airline. Satellite television is increasingly popular, and Radio Exterior, Spain's international shortwave service, has a large audience in the country. The only internet service provider is state affiliated, and the government reportedly monitors internet communications.
The constitution protects religious freedom, although in practice it is sometimes affected by the country's broader political repression, and official preference is given to the Roman Catholic Church and the Reform Church of Equatorial Guinea. Academic freedom is also politically constrained, and self-censorship among faculty is common.
Freedoms of assembly and association are severely restricted, and political gatherings must have official authorization to proceed. There are no effective human rights organizations in the country, and the few international nongovernmental organizations are prohibited from promoting human rights. The constitution provides for the right to organize unions, but there are many legal barriers to collective bargaining. While it has ratified key International Labour Organization conventions, the government has refused to register the Equatorial Guinea Trade Union, whose members operate in secret. The country's only legal labor union, the Small Farmers' Syndicate, received legal recognition in 2000. In 2008, protests by Chinese construction workers over wages led to clashes with security forces. The workers were deported and replaced by new Chinese personnel.
The judiciary is not independent, and security forces generally act with impunity. Civil cases rarely go to trial, and military tribunals handle national security cases. In October 2008, opposition figure Cipriano Nguema Mba, who had political asylum in Cameroon, was abducted by two Cameroonian policemen and handed over to Equatorial Guinea, where he was incarcerated. In 2004, a military court had sentenced Nguema in absentia to 30 years in prison for allegedly plotting a coup and absconding with government funds. Prison conditions are deplorable. The UN Human Rights Council's Working Group on Arbitrary Detention cited the country in a 2007 report for holding detainees in secret, denying them access to lawyers, and jailing them for long periods without charge. A March 2009 Amnesty International report alleged that several opposition figures detained after the February attack on the presidential palace had been tortured. After visiting the country in 2008, the UN special rapporteur on torture criticized the penal and judicial system, highlighting systematic torture and appalling detention conditions. These issues were underscored by the UN Universal Periodic Review of Equatorial Guinea in December 2009.
Obiang's Mongomo clan, part of the majority Fang ethnic group, monopolizes political and economic power. Differences between the Fang and the Bubi are a major source of political tension that has often erupted into violence. Fang vigilante groups have been allowed to abuse Bubi citizens with impunity.
All citizens are required to obtain exit visas to travel abroad, and some opposition figures have been denied such visas. Those who do travel are sometimes subjected to interrogation on their return.
Constitutional and legal guarantees of equality for women are largely ignored, and violence against women is reportedly widespread. Traditional practices including primogeniture and polygamy discriminate against women. Abortion is permitted to preserve the health of the mother, but only with spousal or parental authorization.

If you want the STARS Ally Campaign to come to your campus or community, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What is an ally? "Being an ally is not an identity. It is a process." -@FeministGriote "Allyship […] involves a number of different actions: some are necessary and relatively easy, while some require more commitment and activism" -TransWhat "Allyship is a process where an individual begins to acknowledge their own privileges, and actively makes an effort to recognize and support voices that are commonly suppressed within society." -Kamika Peters, STARS participant and university student
What steps can I take toward allyship? - Listen to LGBTQ* people in your communities - Don't make assumptions about anyone - Know when to step up and when to step back - Understand intersectionality - Educate yourself. Here are some great places to start: Berkeley and TransWhat

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) and former premier Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) yesterday made surprising announcements hours apart that they were dropping out of the party chair election next month, leaving former DPP chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) the favorite to win what had been expected to be a fierce three-way race.
Tsai and former Kaohsiung County deputy commissioner Kuo Tai-lin (郭泰麟) will likely be the remaining candidates in the election to determine who will lead the party from this year to 2016.
Su made his announcement at about 8am in a press release, saying that he would not seek re-election because he "could not bear to see the DPP torn apart" by the potentially fierce competition in the biennial election "at the moment when there are a lot of battles to be fought."
Su was referring to the seven-in-one elections in November, a campaign to stop the construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant in New Taipei City's Gongliao District (貢寮) and the changing political dynamics following the three-week Sunflower movement.
Su said he had encountered setbacks in building the DPP into what people hoped for, despite its support rate consistently leading the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) in the past two years, adding that he was dropping out before the potentially hotly contested election could hurt party unity.
"I have taken a step back, but my effort of fighting for a better Taiwan will never stop," he said.
Hsieh announced his decision at about 11am, also by a press release, in which he said that it was time to "return power back to the people" after the Sunflower movement and to end the DPP's factionalism, listen to public's voice and carry out necessary reforms.
The former premier said he understood Su's position as both were founding members of the DPP.
Yesterday was the first day that the DPP headquarters began accepting application forms from contenders, with Kuo the only remaining candidate who has completed the required registration work.
Tsai, who served as DPP chairperson between 2008 and 2012, called the decision by Su and Hsieh courageous, and hinted that she would remain in the race.
"As Taiwan is weathering various critical challenges, unity and cooperation will be a shared responsibility for every DPP member and we have to firmly shoulder the task of passing on our legacy, carrying out party reform and engaging in dialogue with society," Tsai said in a press release.
The DPP must recognize the power of an emerging civil society as shown in the Sunflower movement, and carry out a process of introspection that will redefine the party's role in society, she added.
Su and Hsieh's decision won praise from almost all DPP politicians, while the Association of DPP City and County Chapters endorsed Su's decision in a press conference at the party headquarters.
DPP Legislator Chao Tien-lin (趙天麟), a Hsieh confidante who made waves on Saturday by calling for Su, Hsieh and Tsai to drop out of the race to make room for young politicians, denied that his initiative had anything to do with yesterday's development.
DPP caucus whip Ker Chien-ming (柯建銘) said Su had sacrificed himself for the greater good of the party.
Greater Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu (陳菊), Greater Tainan Mayor William Lai (賴清德) and former vice president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮) also applauded Su and Hsieh's decision.

In Bob Quinn's first full year as owner of the Red Sox, Fenway Park attendance grew quite dramatically. However, the team only finished one spot better in the standings and the seventh place showing would be the last time they finished above place for the rest of the decade. As the club's president, Quinn continued the use of Fenway Park for amateur football, baseball, and other non-Red Sox events.
Record: 67-87, 7th in American League
Manager: Lee A. Fohl
Attendance: 448,556
There was optimism entering 1924, the first full year under new ownership, and over 25,000 fans turned out on Opening Day to see Howard Ehmke take a three-hit, 1-0 shutout against New York through eight innings. However, in the top of the ninth, a single by Babe Ruth and two errors by the newly-acquired Bill Wambsganss cost Ehmke the game.
Under new manager Lee Fohl, the Red Sox looked strong early in the year and were in first place as late as June 13, before falling off dramatically and finishing with a 67-86 record. For one of the few times in the decade, the Red Sox didn't finish last - though they couldn't have come any closer to the cellar; Boston was 25 games out of first place and Chicago was 25 ½.
Under the new ownership, Red Sox attendance nearly doubled over the final Frazee year (448,556 vs. 229,688 in 1923). There was even a suggestion floated early in June that the team put a second deck on the Fenway Park grandstand. Nonetheless, when the season was over, the Red Sox still ranked last in attendance.
Three collegiate baseball games were played at Fenway Park in June 1924, including an extra-inning contest between Harvard and Princeton. Boston College's baseball team went 1-1 at Fenway Park in 1924, trouncing Georgetown but falling to their rival Holy Cross. Later in the year, a team representing the Boston Post Office defeated their counterparts from the Hartford Post Office, 9-0.

|June 4
|Harvard 5, Princeton 3 (10 innings)
|June 11
|Holy Cross 12, Boston College 0

|Boston Post Office 9, Hartford Post Office 0
While the Red Sox continued to struggle in 1924, amateur football again filled Fenway Park's schedule in the fall months. In the annual Columbus Day football doubleheader, Boston College High downed Boston English 7-0, and Dorchester vanquished Mechanic Arts 18-0. Earlier in the year, another war memorial service took place with 7,500 people in the audience and in early June, the Boys Scouts also held a rally at the park.

Citing its charge to represent local cities" interests in developing a new water supply, a regional water authority is seeking permission to officially weigh in on a state review of California American Water"s project.
The move, which would grant the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority official party status in the proceeding before the Public Utilities Commission, comes about three weeks before the PUC"s first public session on the project June 6.
Cal Am has applied for permission to pursue a three-pronged water supply project in partnership with the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency. The project combines a desalination plant, aquifer storage and recovery, and groundwater recharge.
The proposal seeks to provide a replacement water source for Peninsula customers facing a state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River that takes full effect by the end of 2016.
In a motion filed with the PUC earlier this week, the regional water authority argued it has a duty to ensure the "transparent and timely" development of a reliable water supply for the Peninsula, as well as governance that is directly accountable to homes and businesses in the cities served by the proposed water supply. The public session June 6 comes just days after the end of the official protest and response period. In explaining the quick turnaround, PUC administrative law judge Gary Weatherford cited the "time-sensitive" nature of the proceeding "against a backdrop of years of failed initiatives." That suggested Weatherford may be willing to accede to Cal Am"s request to expedite the PUC review process.
All protests related to the Cal Am application must be submitted by May 25, and Cal Am"s responses are due June 4.
The regional water authority, which includes the mayors of all six Peninsula cities, has charged itself with vetting proposed water supply projects, including Cal Am"s.
Next week, the authority"s technical advisory committee is scheduled to begin analyzing three major desal proposals: Cal Am"s, the People"s Moss Landing Water Desal Project and DeepWater Desal.
The committee recently sent the projects" proponents more than 50 questions designed to help analyze the details of each proposal, including their ability to meet the deadline and provide the necessary water at a reasonable cost. The committee is expecting to begin reviewing the responses when it meets at 2 p.m. Monday at Seaside City Hall, said committee member George Riley.
Riley said the committee is also slated to consider choosing a new chairman after the recent resignation of Roger Dolan.
In addition to the authority, a handful of other agencies and organizations have sought official party status for the PUC proceeding. Those include Cal Am"s former partners in the failed regional desal project — Monterey County, the county Water Resources Agency and the Marina Coast Water District — and the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses, LandWatch Monterey County and WaterPlus.
Cal Am has argued vociferously against granting WaterPlus and Marina Coast party status. Cal Am has suggested WaterPlus" original mission of promoting a public purchase of the private firm would put it at odds with the goals of the proceeding, though WaterPlus has argued its interests are focused on a viable new water supply project.
Cal Am says Marina Coast is only interested in obstructing the new proposal in favor of the failed regional desal project — Marina Coast filed a motion to dismiss the new application — or being repaid for its investment. Those issues should not be resolved during the current proceeding, Cal Am says.
Jim Johnson can be reached at email@example.com or 753-6753.

The iconic protest vessel the Rainbow Warrior is transferred to Friendship, a Bangladesh based NGO which will refit it for use as a hospital ship. After 22 years of traversing the world's oceans in defence of the environment, the ship will be renamed as Rongdhonu, Bengali for Rainbow. The ship will serve the coastal belt of Bangladesh and the Bay of Bengal delivering primary and secondary medical assistance to some of the most vulnerable communities of the world, communities that have little or no access to basic health care facilities.

Press Releases
Carl's Jr. Responds to Weak Economy With Premium Quality
Oct 20, 2010
Chain introduces freshly prepared, Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders™
CARPINTERIA, Calif. - October 20, 2010 - While other fast food chains are touting dollar menus and other cheap, lower-quality food to tempt consumers nervous over high-unemployment figures, Carl's Jr.® believes that people deserve better than that; even when times are tough. So, the chain is introducing Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders™, which provide customers with the kind of quality they would normally only be able to get at sit-down restaurants, if there.
The Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders are made with all-white meat from chicken breasts, dipped in a buttermilk and egg batter, rolled in seasoned flour and then fried to a perfect golden brown. And, all of that fresh preparation is done by hand in the kitchens of each restaurant throughout the day.
"We love to be able to give Carl's Jr. customers a 'wow' experience, as in, 'Wow, I can't believe I can get something that good at a fast-food place,'" said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for Carl's Jr. and Hardee's® restaurants. "We did that with the first sit-down restaurant quality burgers, The Six Dollar Burger®, then we did it again with our Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shakes & Malts™, and now we're doing it with chicken. In fact, we may have even surpassed the quality you can get in most sit-down restaurants, since they often use the same kind of partially-fried and frozen chicken strips that our fast food competitors do."
The product began to roll out to Carl's Jr. restaurants in September and is now available at most locations, with system-wide rollout scheduled to be completed early next month. Available in three or five piece orders, for $2.99 and $4.49, respectively, the Chicken Tenders are served with Buttermilk Ranch, Honey Mustard or BBQ dipping sauce. They are also available as a combo meal or in Cool Kids meals.
Los Angeles-based Mendelsohn|Zien Advertising, the firm behind many iconic ads for Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, created television and radio ads to support the new Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders. The first ad titled "Receptionist" can be viewed here highlights the product's appetite appeal and superior, premium quality.

Learning Nothing, Forgetting Nothing: The Useless Laments About Allies' Contributions to Defense
Today in the Los Angeles Times, Gary Schmitt argues that America's Western allies are not spending enough on their militaries. This is not news. But Schmitt offers no solution to the problem.
Smaller countries free ride on larger countries' security guarantees because it is the rational thing to do. Almost two years ago, Schmitt authored a very similar piece in the Wall Street Journal. If he was concerned then, or is concerned now, with the inadequate spending of our allies, the best way to change that is to revoke our commitment to defend them. As I wrote in response to Schmitt's Wall Street Journal article:
In their 1966 article "Economic Theory of Alliances," Mancur Olson Jr. and Richard Zeckhauser solved this puzzle. Olson and Zeckhauser explained the disproportionate contributions of NATO members with a model that showed that in the provision of collective goods (like security) in organizations (like the NATO alliance), the larger nations will tend to bear a "disproportionately large share of the common burden." Due in part to these dynamics, Kenneth Waltz concluded by 1979 that "in fact if not in form, NATO consists of guarantees given by the United States to its European allies and to Canada." As Waltz pointed out, France's withdrawal in 1966 from NATO's integrated military command failed to "noticeably change the bipolar balance" between NATO and the Soviet‐sponsored WTO.
The implication of the Olson‐Zeckhauser model, which has held up remarkably well over time, is that the only way to force Europe to spend more would be to make clear that the United States views European security as a private, not a collective, good, and that consequently its provision was rightly Europe's responsibility. Given U.S. policymakers' extreme reticence to adopt this conclusion, likely because a more independent Europe would be more independent, we should expect European defense spending to stay low and U.S. defense intellectuals to keep complaining about European free‐riding, all to no avail. (I have previously written about this subject here and here.)
If we maintain a commitment to defend our European wards, they'll keep free riding and Uncle Sucker will keep paying. Think tankers writing earnest op‐eds and policymakers giving stern speeches isn't going to change this dynamic.

A fundraiser is set to take place next month for a Levittown, Pa. baby girl who captured the hearts of thousands nationwide and even inspired the proposal of a state law.
JoJo's Ice Cream & Water Ice will host an event raising money for Hannah Ginion, a 1-year-old girl suffering from a rare genetic disorder known as Krabbe Disease.
The young girl, who was born on January 15, 2013, seemed healthy at first, according to her mother Vicki Pizzullo.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"She was progressing like a normal baby," Pizzullo said. "She was perfectly healthy."
By the time Hannah turned 4-months however, the family noticed that something was wrong.
"It came on really slow," Pizzullo said. "She started crying all the time. She hated eating out of a bottle, she was choking and she was losing her swallowing ability. She would suck on a bottle and she would start choking. When we went to go feed her again, she was scared to eat."
The family then took her to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where they learned the devastating news. On June 17, 2013, Hannah was diagnosed with Krabbe Disease, a rare degenerative disorder that affects the myelin sheath of the nervous system. Damage to the sheath slows down messages between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to problems with mental and physical development.
Krabbe Disease is so rare that it only affects 1 in 100,000 people, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Symptoms of the disease, including feeding difficulties, fever, vomiting, limb stiffness and seizures, normally begin to show when the child is between 3 to 6 months old. Infants who suffer from the disease generally have a life-expectancy of 2 years at the most. There is currently no cure.
After being told by doctors at CHOP that they weren't familiar enough with the disease to properly treat it, the family took Hannah to Dr. Maria Escolar, a specialist in the study of Neurodevelopment in rare disorders at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. By then however, it was too late to get a transplant that could have alleviated some of the symptoms.
"Once symptoms start, it's too late to go back to a transplant," Pizzullo said. "That's why it's so important to have it when they're born."
According to the family, Hannah could have received more effective treatment if doctors knew she had the disease immediately after her birth, a message that they ultimately took to Pennsylvania lawmakers.
"We went to Harrisburg in October and went in front of the House and had a press conference," she said.
The press conference led to the introduction of a bill known as Hannah's Law, which would add Krabbe disease and five other disorders to the list of conditions Pennsylvania hospitals must screen for newborns.
House Bill 1654, introduced by State Rep. Angel Cruz, passed the state house last January. Despite this, Pizzullo says the Senate still hasn't placed it on their agenda.
"We don't think they did it intentionally," she said. "We just don't know if they know the importance of it."
That's why Pizzullo says she and her followers have worked so hard to raise greater awareness.
"We're trying to get the word out there and let them know they need to get this on the agenda as soon as possible," Pizzullo said. "We're trying to get this law passed so that all babies born in Pennsylvania will be tested for this disease as part of their screening."
Pizzullo quit her job of 15 years to be with her daughter and dedicated her life to raising awareness for the disease. Along the way, the family gained support from the community and followers nationwide, after they created a website and Facebook page as well as a support page for the bill.
"We just love all of her followers," Pizzullo said. "They're just amazing. People are so supportive, especially our community."
As Pizzullo continues the fight to bring awareness, she's also dealing with her daughter's deteriorating health.
"She's tube fed and she's on oxygen 24/7," Pizzullo said. "She should be walking around right now and living her life. She can't because she was never tested at birth. The disease deteriorates her brain, that's why she doesn't smile or laugh. She hasn't laughed in five months."
Despite her situation, Pizzullo says she takes solace in the fact that her daughter has proven to be an inspiration and major factor in a movement that could ultimately save the lives of other children.
"If we could help other families and have her name be forever known, it would just be amazing," Pizzullo said.
A fundraiser for Hannah will take place at JoJo's Ice Cream & Water Ice on 8801 New Falls Road, in Levittown, Pa. on April 15 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The event will include a raffle and music. You can also email the family at email@example.com for more information.

Wait time for gun background check keeps growing
DENVER – The wait time for a firearms background check in Colorado is now more than nine days.
The check once took less than an hour on average but soared along with requests for background checks after the shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., in December.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation tells The Denver Post there were 11,420 background checks waiting to be processed as of Wednesday morning.
CBI spokeswoman spokeswoman Susan Medina says the Colorado Department of Public Safety plans to ask lawmakers for $500,000 for more staff and technology to handle the checks.

Bamyan women facilitated with 150 greenhouses
Bamyan women facilitated with 150 greenhouses
BAMYAN CITY (Pajhwok): At least 150 greenhouses have been established for women farmers in central Bamyan province, an official says.
Aimed at ensuring food security and strengthening livelihoods for famers, the greenhouses were built at a cost of 4,500,000 afghanis provided from the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL).
Abdul Wahab Mohammadi, the agriculture director, hoped the conservatories in Bamyan city, the provincial capital, and Yakawlang district would help increase the growth of non-seasonal vegetables.
He said the female growers also received production supplies and equipment and vegetable seeds. All farmers and beneficiaries of the initiative are women and their families.
Governor Mohammad Tahir Zahir expressed happiness over the programme, calling it useful for job creation as well as helping women.
Salima, one of the beneficiaries, told Pajhwok Afghan News all women in Bamyan were unemployed and creating greenhouses would enable them to contribute to their families' financial situation.
"Through this business we can at least earn money to make ends meet. And the important point is that such businesses are independent run by women," she remarked

Education for Professional Practice (Revised - February 2007)
The National Screening Committee (NSC) has struggled with the problem of inconsistencies in curricula for many years. Over time, an informal consensus has evolved among its members as to "what every geologist should know." This publication summarizes the deliberations and decisions of an ad hoc committee on curriculum, with input from the experiences of the NSC in reviewing the qualifications of geologists applying for Institute certification, and the extensive review and study on the Committee for Cooperative Evaluation of Geology Departments. The pamphlet provides recommendations to college and university geology departments about the necessary skills and core geology courses that students need to be adequately rained in the field of geology.
Citizens' Guide to Geologic Hazards (1993)
If you have wondered about the actual dangers of asbestos, radon, earthquakes, etc., that are mentioned but not explained very well in the news, then this book is certainly for you. The book was commissioned by the AIPG to give readers knowledge that will save lives and dollars. It explains geologic hazards, the risks these hazards pose, and how professional geologists help to mitigate these risks. The book was written for non-scientists, especially planners, contractors, homeowners, elected officials, insurance underwriters, lenders and financiers, realtors, science teachers, and students. Although geologists have the knowledge that can help reduce the risks, the value of this knowledge will increase greatly when the majority of citizens also understand the hazards and can upgrade public policies that will guarantee that available knowledge is used. Available through the online store.
The Professional Geologist (4 issue subscription)
The Professional Geologist (TPG) is published quarterly by the American Institute of Professional Geologists and provides a forum for discussion and dissemination of professional and scientific information. TPG publishes peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed technical articles in all areas of geology. TPG is distributed to over 15,000 in the geosciences including members, non-members, businesses, libraries, universities/colleges, and government agencies.
TPG's are available in pdf format free online.
Geological Ethics and Professional Practices 1987-current
The central focus of this CD is, of course, on ethics as a part of geologic professionalism. AIPG has been at the forefront of promoting a concern with professional ethics and of setting ethical standards for its members and for the geologic profession as a whole. Without a high and rigorously enforced code of ethics, the public, whom we try to serve, will have no faith in our technical competence. There are not always easy answers to making ethical decisions.

Reflections on a Geological Career - Fourth Electronic Edition (2002)
This fourth electronic edition of Reflections on a Geologic Career expands on the original edition prepared after the Colorado Section's Student Day in 1996. It includes papers in the handouts distributed during the Student Days hosted by the Arizona and Colorado Sections in the fall of 1998. The oral origin of the papers is obvious and generally makes them easier to read. This electronic edition is to ensure wide distribution and use by students everywhere. Copy freely as long as proper referencing and acknowledgments are made.
