One of the first articles in GasTerra's newsletter discussed LNG exports from the United States and its impact on the LNG market. That was in September 2013: LNG spot prices in Asia were sky-high, an enormous amount of LNG was about to hit the market, China had not yet concluded a deal with Russia and Viktor Yanukovych was still president of all of Ukraine. In short, the gas industry was about to be hit by huge changes. In the light of recent developments, it might be good to have another look at the future of the LNG market.
In 2014, a number of developments took place that have a major impact on way the global supply of and demand for gas, and LNG in particular, will evolve over the next decade. The enormous production of shale oil in the US, for example, has led to a fall in oil prices. Since 2010, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI: the most common oil index in the US) had been showing a drop compared to other oil indices, such as Brent. The reason for this drop was a lack of infrastructure, meaning the supply of shale oil to the world market was limited. With a difference in 2011 of about $30 per barrel between WTI and Brent, it was expected that the infrastructure bottlenecks would be cleared and the two indices would come closer together. Very few analysts suspected that the prices would almost go into a free fall from September 2014, both on WTI and Brent.
The cause of the low prices was mainly attributed to lower economic growth in China – in addition to an increasing production of shale oil. OPEC (read: Saudi Arabia) has indicated not to want to downscale its production quota and retain sufficient availability of spare production capacity.
In Asia, the low oil prices resulted in a sharp drop in the LNG spot price. The reason for this is that countries like Korea, Japan and Taiwan are purchasing more gas from long-term oil-indexed contracts, which currently offer favourable rates for them, which has resulted in a drop in the demand for extra volume – in the form of spot cargos. LNG publications point at the difference between spot cargos and oil-indexed import rates in Asia. The latter have now fallen to about two dollars per MBTU, to the advantage of spot cargos. An ideal time to meet the volume requirements in the long-term contracts. With these spot prices in Asia, which were around $10 MBTU in December, the Asian premium has all but disappeared compared to the European market. The price differences appear to reflect transport costs and the sale of LNG on the European market is cautiously increasing.
Besides the impact on gas prices with an oil link, which still occur in e.g. (LNG) export contracts, the low oil price also affects investment decisions for new LNG projects. Although, in 2014, the average Brent rate was still around $100 per barrel (oil and gas companies tend to base their investments more on annual averages than on a current rate), this drop in price will certainly have an impact on the decision-making process regarding the projects in Mozambique, Russia and Canada. Canada was already having a hard time making projects economically viable, given the relatively large distances between the production zones and the export terminals. But Russia will also encounter problems financing an LNG project in the Arctic Circle, quite apart from any sanctions imposed. The said spot price in Asia is also approaching the minimum required to bring in gas as LNG from the US to Asia. The export projects in the US that are currently in the pipeline or already under construction, probably won't be affected much by the current price situation, but for projects that are still in their initial stages, it might become harder to secure the business case.
Another event that has major implications for the future demand for LNG is the deal between Russia and China, for the supply of around 70 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Although most analysts have been taking this deal into account, the volume is considered to be of such a magnitude that it will impact the LNG demand in Asia. Especially since the price of this gas, with an expected city gate rate of $12 MBTU in Beijing, is lower than what the majority of new LNG projects can offer. The new export terminals in the US might form an exception. But, with an estimated cost of about $5.5-6 MBTU on top of the current Henry Hub rate, they won't be able to offer a structurally lower rate.
For the European market, the change of power in Ukraine has put gas high on the European political agenda again. The European Commission has set out on a course which should ensure that, in time, the EU will be a stronger party for suppliers like Russia. According to the Commission, LNG will play an important role. The contracting demand for gas in Europe and the reduced rates, however, don't manifestly prove this scenario will become a reality.
Maybe the most important event for the gas market, and probably also the hardest the calculate, was the climate deal struck in November between the US and China. Both countries expressed their support for drastic measures to reduce climate change. Besides the fact that China will try to make a case for a twenty percent share of renewable energy in its energy mix, there is already much speculation on how fast China should expand the role of natural gas to fulfil its promise to the level off the immense rise in CO2 emissions. This convention also has big implications for the US (and its gas sector). Although shale gas has helped the US to, de facto, meet its Kyoto targets, there is plenty of room for improvement in the US gas industry. The US will, for instance, have to curb shale oil gas burn-off. Consequently, the costs of extracting this oil, especially in areas that are farther away from existing infrastructure, will increase. Greenhouse gasses are also be looked at more from a life cycle point of view. For example, in May the American Department of Energy published a study which shows that from a climate viewpoint, it is not desirable to export shale gas from the US to China for use in power stations as a replacement of locally produced coal.
To summarize, the uncertainty about the developments of the LNG market have only increased in the past year. While in 2013 all the lights were still on green for a large influx of LNG on the world market, the increased uncertainty about the development of demand has now also manifested on the supply side. The fact that investment decisions fail to materialize in potentially large production zones, is a prime example. Finally, the fact that the differences in rates gas between regions are currently a good reflection of the transport rates is more a result of a slump in demand for spot cargos in Asia than of an increasing role of LNG in the world gas trade. For Europe, in any case, the widely available LNG spot cargos offer a comfortable back-up in the event of disruptions in the supply of Russian gas.

NEW YORK -- A former police officer admitted Thursday that he raped a schoolteacher he grabbed off the street on her way to work, pleading guilty to rape charges that had stymied jurors who convicted him of other high-level sex crimes in the same attack.
Already sentenced to 75 years to life in prison on his March conviction, Michael Pena is to be sentenced next month to at least 10 years for the rape charges. The sentences are set to overlap, but in the event Pena prevails in appealing his 75-year-plus term, he would still be left to serve 10 years to life for the rape.
During his trial, Pena had admitted sexually attacking the 25-year-old woman but steadfastly denied having intercourse with her, a requirement for a rape conviction. She broke down in tears when the jurors deadlocked on the rape charges, though they had convicted him of predatory sexual assault, a top-level felony that involves wielding a weapon during certain sex crimes.
But on Thursday, Pena, 28, softly said "guilty" and admitted that he had forcible intercourse with the woman.
His lawyer said Pena decided to plead guilty to rape to spare the woman's family and his own any further ordeal.
"His priority is not to put his family through any more pain," said the lawyer, Ephraim Savitt. "There's more than one family going through anguish right now."
Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Richard Carruthers said he was accepting the plea deal "to spare the complaining witness the task and the obligation of coming forth to testify in a rape trial" again.
"Michael Pena took responsibility for his violent criminal actions and will serve up to life in prison," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said in a statement. " ... It is my hope this resolution brings a brave young teacher a measure of justice and closure."
In trial this spring, the woman testified that a drunken, off-duty Pena accosted her on a street last August, forced her into an Upper Manhattan apartment building courtyard and raped her at gunpoint, threatening to shoot her in the face if she resisted.
She was heading to her first day at a new teaching job. He was wrapping up a drunken night of trying to pick up women, according to evidence at the trial.
"My life has been shattered -- my sense of security, my sense of safety, any and all independence," she said when he was sentenced in May to 75 years to life.
Pena told a judge then that he has "no explanation for what happened that day. ... I will just have that guilt for the rest of my life."
Savitt said Pena plans to appeal the 75-year-plus term as excessive.
Pena joined the New York Police Department in 2008. Suspended after his arrest, he was fired shortly after the partial verdict.

Noise Assessments
Noise Assessment incorporates the measurement and assessment of noise in the workplace. This is the calculation of the daily noise exposure level as defined in applicable legislation. The assessments are carried out in the working environment using fully calibrated equipment, fully up to date with industry standards. Management of noise is critical in the workplace due to the potential for widespread ill effects across all members of the workforce exposed.
Why it is required:
The applicable legislation namely the Control of Noise at Work Part 5 Chapter 1of the Safety Health and Welfare at Work General Application Regulations 2007 states that the Employer shall make a suitable and appropriate assessment of the risks to employees from noise, this applies where employees are likely to be at risk from exposure to noise, this will in most cases refer to potential risks to hearing. There is a duty on the employer to ensure that the noise is eliminated or reduced to a minimum taking account of the principles of prevention.
What we offer:
Our service is comprehensive in relation to Noise Assessment. The key steps will incorporate initial discussions with the employer to plan the conditions for the actual on-site assessment. The most suitable dates and time will be selected in order to ensure the most representative and accurate conditions.
The assessment is carried out with internationally recognised equipment with full accountability and calibration.
We recognise that production of the results of the assessment alone will in many cases be of limited practical benefit to the employer. In recognition of this we also compile a schedule of recommendations which can assist the employer in reducing the risks along with ensuring legislative compliance.
Contact our Health & Safety Consultant Adrian Jackson on 01 835 4084, 086 2258237 or email@example.com to discuss a Noise Assessment.

Vladimir Danchev: The broadcaster who defied Moscow
Broadcasters at a Russian television station protested this week about the country's actions in Crimea, echoing what a Soviet radio announcer did 30 years ago.
Two US-based presenters on Russia's English-language TV station Russia Today (RT) caused a stir recently by denouncing Moscow's military intervention in Ukraine.
Abby Martin told viewers of the state-owned channel that what Russia had done was "wrong". And Liz Wahl said she could not work for a broadcaster that "whitewashes the actions" of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Wahl resigned live on air.
Among seasoned Russia watchers, their exploits recalled the strange and sad story of Vladimir Danchev, the Moscow radio announcer, who in the 1980s caused consternation by calling Soviet troops in Afghanistan "occupiers".
Danchev, who was of mixed Russian and Bulgarian parentage and came from Tashkent in present-day Uzbekistan, was an English-language newsreader at Radio Moscow World Service (RMWS), an arm of the Soviet Union's vast propaganda machine.
According to his erstwhile colleague Vasiliy Strelnikov, Danchev was a prim, well-spoken young man, a long-standing member of the Communist Party and, to all appearances, a fine, upstanding representative of Soviet society.
In short, the very last person you would expect to defy the system.
Transcripts of RMWS broadcasts held by BBC Monitoring - the part of the BBC that sifts and analyses output from foreign media - reveal that at the start of the 1980s, Danchev was criticising Western foreign policy and talking up the anti-war movement in the UK, just like any other Soviet radio announcer.
Some of the reports he read were very similar to RT's critique of the West today.
But at the height of the USSR's military involvement in Afghanistan in 1983 something rather strange happened to Danchev.
He himself said in an interview with the magazine Sobesednik in 1990 that it all started with a typo - an errant "not", which turned the sense of the official Kremlin message on its head.
"I thought to myself - what if I leave it in and read it out just as it is. If the worst comes to the worst, I can always point to the misprint," he recalled.
From then on, he was on a slippery slope inserting ever more daring "misprints" into reports about the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan.
In a podcast published in 2006, Strelnikov remembered listening to one of Danchev's bulletins as he was washing up in his kitchen.
Suddenly he heard him say: "Soviet occupiers have burnt down a village."
"I could hardly believe my ears," Strelnikov said.
Kremlin propaganda usually referred to the Soviet troops as the "limited contingent" of "internationalist warriors" bringing help to the "fraternal people of Afghanistan".
The phrase "limited contingent" is also being used by Russian politicians today to describe future possible military intervention in Ukraine.
When Strelnikov saw his colleague at work the next day, he nervously asked whether everything was all right following his "mistake".
But Danchev calmly replied: "I read out everything just as it should be." Colleagues realised that Danchev was on a "mission".
Danchev's subversive newscasts had somehow escaped the notice of the Kremlin propaganda bosses. But at BBC Monitoring, Soviet specialists soon realised that something was up.
Former BBC Monitoring journalist Phil Tanner recalls how, by analysing the Radio Moscow news output over a number of weeks, colleagues soon realised that Danchev had gone rogue and was inserting subversive messages into the official radio scripts himself.
This posed a dilemma.
In the Soviet Union presided over by former KGB chief Yuri Andropov such displays of dissent could have very serious consequences for the individuals concerned, Tanner pointed out.
But with the truth likely to come out shortly in any case, the BBC World Service went ahead and broke the story of the "dissident" newscaster on 23 May 1983. Strelnikov recalls hearing a bulletin talking about "radio sabotage" and "professional suicide".
As the news came down the wires, it spread panic among Danchev's colleagues.
"Where's Danchev?" they asked. "Oh no, he's on air!"
It was a moment of high comedy, before the inevitably grim consequences.
Danchev was apparently sent for treatment at a psychiatric hospital in his native Tashkent, though he is later said to have returned to RMWS in a rather humbler capacity. One former colleague said he worked in the gramophone library.
Other staff at Radio Moscow suffered dismissal or demotion as the result of his exploits, Strelnikov said.
Although hailed at the time by the press in the West for defying his Soviet masters, Danchev is a more or less forgotten figure today.
Strelnikov said in 2006 that he did not know what had become of his former colleague.
RT appears to be more forgiving of public dissent than its Soviet predecessor. Martin was back on air the day after her outspoken comments on Ukraine with criticisms of the US mainstream media for not speaking out against the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
"But I do stand by my opinion and I stand by everything I said," she insisted.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares of FirstEnergy Corp. FE, +0.12% rose 6% to $45.07 as the biggest gaining stock in the S&P 500 on Monday. Analyst Brian Chin of Citi lifted his price target on FirstEnergy to $46 a share, from $41 a share and said the results of the 2014-2015 capacity auction at PJM, released late Friday, "were a large positive surprise" for the company. Under the PJM auction, the region covering FirstEnergy's American Transmission System Inc. drew a 2014-2015 price of $125.99 per megawatt-day, up sharply from a price of $27.73 a year ago. Analyst Chin said he expected a price of $30. Chin said the higher price lifts the net present value of FirstEnergy's unregulated merchant unit to $3.5 billion from $1 billion. A FirstEnergy spokesman did not immediately return a call from MarketWatch.

|Tom Daley and Daniel Goodfellow took the Commonwealth title with 405.81 points.
Photograph: Mike Frey/BPI/REX/Shutterstock
Tom Daley won gold in the 10m synchronised event with Dan Goodfellow and then used the platform to strongly condemn anti-gay laws in 37 Commonwealth countries.
The English pair just managed to hold on for victory over their compatriots Matthew Dixon and Noah Williams after a wayward final dive. It is a fourth Commonwealth title for Daley who won his first in Delhi in 2010 when he was just 15.
Now 23, much has changed in Daley's personal life, including his marriage to screenwriter Dustin Lance-Black. The couple announced in February they are expecting a baby but Daley said he still finds it difficult to compete in countries where homosexuality is illegal.
He spoke of his hope that by the time of the next Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022 the attitude towards gay relationships in some of the competing nations would have improved.
"There are 37 countries where it's illegal to be who I am out of all the Commonwealth so hopefully we can reduce that number between now and then," he said. "Coming to the Gold Coast and being able to live as an openly gay man is really important in being able to feel comfortable with who you are when standing on that diving board. For 37 countries that are here participating that's very much not the case."

Mobile Alabama USAF Tanker Contract Under Fire
March 5th, 2008 Categories: Pensacola Real Estate News
If you live in the Pensacola Florida or Mobile Alabama area, you have to have been living under a rock not to have heard the news of the big Air Force contract awarded last week. The contract was awarded to Northrop Grumman Corp and its European partner, Airbus parent EADS. How this whole award will affect the economy and real estate values in Pensacola is yet to be determined. Mobile Alabama real estate values are already on the rise.
This contract will have a huge impact on the economy of Mobile. As more news comes out, it appears Pensacola will also benefit from this contract, with possible commercial business coming to Saufley Field air base. Businesses near Mobile with quick access to I-10 are set to prosper, from Mississippi into the Florida panhandle. Mobile is also getting a huge steel plant, which further helps local economies. See my article about Mobile's economic boom.
This is all good news to us down here in the south, but others are not taking the contract award so well. By others, I mean politicians and businesses in the states that would have benefited if Boeing would have won the contract. While I understand the disapointment, some politicians have made downright ridiculous statements. As quoted from the Birmingham News,
To hear members of Washington state's congressional delegation tell it, the U.S. Air Force was close to traitorous in awarding Northrop Grumman Corp. and the European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. over Boeing Co. a $35-billion contract for next-generation aerial refueling tankers.
That state's two senators and six of its nine House members expressed outrage at the choice of a European country "and its foreign workers" to build the tanker for the U.S. military.
"This is a blow to the American aerospace industry, American workers and America's men and women in uniform. … ," they said Friday in a statement. "We will be asking tough questions about the decision to outsource this contract. We look forward to hearing the Air Force's justification."
So bringing jobs to the southeast United States is a blow to America? Sounds to me more like a lot of politicians blowing a lot of hot air.
According to Loren Thompson, a leading defense analyst at the Virginia-based Lexington Institute think tank, "This was not a close outcome in any sense of the term. Northrop won decisively and completely, and Boeing simply was not competitive in the major measures."
"From cost, to the tanker's performance, to the company's ability to execute the contract, Boeing failed to beat Northrop Grumman-EADS on a single measure", Thompson said.
Everyone in Mobile is getting excited at the prospect of an economic boom. Real estate values are rising. I hope we can generate some excitement here in Pensacola soon also.

Hard-line Marxist rebels controlled the corpse-littered South Yemen capital of Aden Friday, but deposed President Ali Nasser Mohammed was reported to be massing 40,000 troops for a counterattack. With most foreigners safely evacuated from the war-torn country, the stage was set for a showdown between Mohammed and the hard-line Marxist rebels led by former President Abdul Fattah Ismail. The rebels said in a broadcast on official Aden Radio's frequency they had won a "clear victory over the gang of Ali Nasser Mohammed" and were "in full control of the situation."
VIENNA -- An Austrian woman died from wounds suffered during last month's Palestinian terrorist attack at the Vienna airport, becoming the fourth person to die as a result of the assault, a hospital spokesman said Friday.
Elizabeth Kriegler, 26, a school teacher, died Wednesday evening from serious head injuries caused by grenade shrapnel, according to a spokesman in the intensive care unit at Vienna's Lorenz Boehler hospital. She had been in a coma since the attack.
Kriegler had been waiting to check in at the El Al counter Dec. 27 when three Palestinian guerrillas attacked the area without warning with automatic rifle fire and grenades.
KRUGERSDORP, South Africa -- About 500 whites filled a Dutch Reformed church Friday to mourn two young police officers, the first white policemen slain by black rioters in 17 months of South African unrest.
Friends and relatives joined uniformed police at the graveside in this mining town 18 miles west of Johannesburg as a police band played a funeral dirge. One woman, overcome with emotion, collapsed and was carried away by her husband.

June 4, 2016 – Highlights Report
Toronto Transit Consultation Meetings
Saturday, June 4, 2016
Highlights Report
This concise Highlights Report has been prepared to provide the City of Toronto, TTC, Waterfront Toronto and Metrolinx with a snapshot of the feedback captured at the public meeting held on Saturday, June 4, 2016. A more detailed report of the feedback captured during this phase of consultations will be prepared in the coming days.
On June 4, 2016, the City of Toronto, City Planning Division (Transportation Planning), the TTC and Metrolinx, hosted a public meeting on a series of key transit projects currently being planned. The meeting was held at York Humber High School, 100 Emmett Avenue.
The public meeting presented the various transit projects being studied as part of a network approach to transit planning undertaken by the City, Waterfront Toronto, TTC and Metrolinx, including:
- SmartTrack and GO Regional Express Rail (RER): Integration of SmartTrack and GO Regional Express Rail to improve rapid transit service on three GO corridors in Toronto.
- Relief Line: Preferred alignment as well as proposed station locations.
- Scarborough Transit Planning: Evaluation of options for the Scarborough Subway Extension.
- Eglinton West LRT: Evaluation of options extending westward from Mount Dennis along Eglinton Ave to Toronto Pearson International Airport.
- Eglinton East LRT: Evaluation of options connecting Kennedy Station and the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus.
The meeting featured a series of panels and interactive feedback activities on each project. Participants could freely move between display panels and activities at their own pace, and speak with project staff from the City, TTC and Metrolinx.
Following an introductory presentation on Coordinated Network Transit Planning given by James Perttula (Acting Director, Transit and Sustainable Transportation, City of Toronto), participants had the opportunity to ask questions of clarification as well as provide feedback.
Approximately 26 individuals attended the public meeting, including Councillors Frances Nunziata (Ward 11), Doug Holyday (Ward 3) and a representative from MPP Yvan Baker's Office.
Highlights of Participant Feedback
Questions of Clarification
The discussion captured during the question and answer period following the overview presentation is summarized below. Questions are noted with a "Q", comments with "C" and answers with "A". Answers were provided by James Perttula (Acting Director, Transit and Sustainable Transportation, City of Toronto), unless noted otherwise.
Q: Which population groups are currently being served in Etobicoke and how will the Eglinton West LRT benefit them?
A: In general, there would be improvements for anyone in the local vicinity (i.e., all groups of people). The Eglinton West LRT will enable transit riders to travel further within 45 minutes compared to the existing transit system. The Eglinton West LRT will also improve service to Neighbourhood Improvement Areas.
Q: Will the proposed Eglinton West LRT extension continue past the airport to the Malton GO Station, providing a direct connection to individuals travelling from Kitchener?
A: The end point of the Eglinton West LRT has not been confirmed as the route into the airport precinct is still being determined. There has been some discussion about creating a transit hub at the airport. A direct link to the Malton GO Station is not part of the planned Eglinton West LRT extension; however a transit hub would provide multiple options to connect to other transit systems.
Q: Will the Relief Line be a direct route from Kennedy Station to the downtown core?
A: No, it will require a transfer.
Q: The concept of "labour mobility" should be added to the affordability and social equity objectives of the transit studies. I am concerned that the different fare models proposed by Metrolinx (e.g., different fares for rapid transit vs. buses, distance-based fares, etc.) will lead to a two-tier transit system (e.g., lower income individuals will only be able to afford to ride buses). Labour mobility will become problematic as a result. Metrolinx has been less than honest with the community on a number of things (e.g., timelines for electrification, UP Express vehicles). How is the City/TTC dealing with Metrolinx?
A: There is a lot of work underway regarding fare integration at Metrolinx and at the City. The Metrolinx Board will be discussing fare integration at its meeting scheduled for June 28th, 2016, but will not be making any decisions. We currently do not have a co-fare arrangement with GO Transit within Toronto, which is why it is more expensive for Toronto residents to transfer from the TTC to GO Transit. The City is also undertaking work on fare integration and will be reporting to Council in the summer. I can assure you that we are considering all the points you raised in partnership with Metrolinx.
Q: What is the timeline for SmartTrack to begin operation?
A: When SmartTrack was introduced the target was to begin operation within seven years, or 2022. Much of that will depend on Metrolinx investments in the GO corridors. Metrolinx has prioritized work on the SmartTrack corridors.
Q: The SmartTrack / GO RER analysis recommended eliminating Options A and B. Was that based on the 15-minute headway time? Is there any consideration to re-examine Options A and B, specifically north of Mount Dennis? Will the completed analysis be made available to the public and members of Council, specifically regarding the infrastructure challenges?
A: The analysis considered the headway time and the amount of infrastructure that would be required to make it feasible. There were challenges associated with the additional infrastructure requirements for Options A and B. This will be discussed in the SmartTrack/RER business case to be presented to Council.
Q: An airport hub is based on a network. Why does the Finch West LRT not continue to the airport? There is already a business case to support the extension.
A: The Finch West LRT is currently planned to Humber College. City Council has directed planning staff to study a connection from Humber College to the airport during the next phase.
Q: Can you speak to the jobs program (e.g., construction, etc.) for these transit projects?
A: Metrolinx has included community benefits considerations in the construction of the Finch West LRT; more information will be available before construction begins. We are not at that stage of planning for the other transit projects.
Q: We have seen the inability of Bombardier to deliver transit vehicles. Is there a backup plan to source transit vehicles? Who will be paying for the operation and maintenance costs once the vehicles arrive?
A: I am unable to answer your first question, but I understand your concern. Operation and maintenance costs are factored into the projects during the planning phase and will be reported to Council.
Q: Will operating hours for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT extension be coordinated with GO Transit and the UP Express schedules?
A: The same basic schedules for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT would be continued.
Q: Will the new transit vehicles be parked at Mount Dennis or in the east end?
A: That will be determined in consultation with Metrolinx.
Next Steps
A more detailed report of all consultation activities will be made available after this phase of consultation. Comments must be submitted by June 10, 2016 to ensure inclusion in the broader report.

6.12.13 David Watts' Journey To A Brave New World

The world changed profoundly on the morning of September 11, 2001. In retrospect, it's not much of a stretch to say that it was the beginning of World War III. That probably sounds like an over the top statement, especially if you have been trained by The History Channel as to what WW II looked like. So, if that is what you are looking for, you'll miss what is before your very eyes.
"Seeing it" is not easy because things are playing out very slowly and differently. To "get it" you have to have an open mind, a willingness to look into uncomfortable things, spend time reading and researching, and then discern what you have taken in. Anyone can do this, it just takes time and the willingness. One doesn't need to be an "expert" or an "insider."
David Watts is one such person. David was born in England, has a degree in telecommunications engineering, teaches martial arts and soccer, and practices the art of Reiki. David's world changed on the morning of September 11, 2001 while onboard a jet flying to the United States. His plane was diverted to Canada and he saw some things at the airport that didn't make sense – soldiers armed with submachine guns – LOTS of them.
Thus began a new chapter in David's life. Many of us had a new chapter of life begin on that day. The subject is challenging because it is complex, multilayered, vast, and spread out over hundreds of years. Explaining what's going on is very difficult and time consuming. David's book, "Journey To A Brave New World" is a broad overview – a primer if you will. He stitches together a bigger picture with reports from the main stream media. These are not just "theories" that he has made up.
The book is only 122-pages long, including the bibliography. It is a fast, tight read meant to be a book that could be read in an afternoon. What the reader chooses to do with the information is up to them, but they will not be the same. For as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions."
David Watts, our guest is with us on Far Out Radio for two hours and is our tour guide through, "Journey To A Brave New World."

Warwickshire 97 for 4 beat Northamptonshire 96 by four wicketys
Keith Barker and Jeetan Patel each took three wickets as Warwickshire beat Northamptonshire by six wickets in their Friends Life t20 encounter at Wantage Road.
The Bears bowled out a side for less than 100 in a 20-over match for the first time as they skittled the Steelbacks for 96, with Barker taking 3 for 18 and New Zealand spinner Patel 3 for 19. Johan Botha, with 28 off 26 balls, top-scored for the hosts before the visitors comfortably reached their small target with 10 deliveries to spare, with Darren Maddy going past 2,000 T20 runs in the process.
Warwickshire chose to bowl after winning the toss and Rob Newton made just 3 before launching Chris Woakes high into the air to Bears wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose, who took the catch at square leg.
Alex Wakely went cheaply when he chipped Woakes to Barker at mid-on as the Steelbacks posted a paltry 17 for 2 from the batting powerplay. mNorthamptonshire captain Andrew Hall departed when he slashed Barker to Neil Carter at deep fine-leg before Rob White smashed Steffan Piolet straight to Woakes at long-off.
Stephen Peters perished when he mis-timed his attempted drive off Patel and was stumped by Ambrose. James Middlebrook joined the procession when he launched Piolet to Woakes at long-off as it took the Steelbacks until the 15th over to reach 50.
Patel then took two wickets in consecutive balls as Botha smashed him to Warwickshire captain Jim Troughton at midwicket before he trapped David Willey lbw. Barker followed suit in the final over when David Murphy hammered him to Troughton at mid-off before Jack Brooks was caught at long-on by William Porterfield.
Chasing 97, the Bears lost Carter for a duck in the first over when he sliced Hall to Peters, at gully. Ireland international Porterfield was then given a lifeline when he edged Brooks' delivery but was dropped by Murphy.
But Murphy had his man in the eighth over when he stumped Porterfield for 20 as he chased after Middlebrook's delivery. Varun Chopra was then run out for 34 off 38 balls after colliding with Maddy while running a single, with Peters having the easy task of throwing to the wicketkeeper's end from fine leg.
Maddy holed out on 26 by launched Willey to Wakely at long on before Troughton claimed the winning run with a single off Lee Daggett in the 19th over.

From George Washington to Brigadier General Samuel Holden Parsons, 17 May 1777
To Brigadier General Samuel Holden Parsons
Morris Town May 17th 1777.
Dear Sir
I was favoured yesterday, with your Letter of the 11th Instt. I wrote Govr Trumbull fully, on the 11th and then informed him, that no part of the Troops exacted from the State, could remain there. This Letter, I presume, has reached the Governor, and I trust, the observations contained in it, would satisfy him of the necessity, of drawing the whole Troops together. I think with you, that the Enemy will make no impressions into Connecticut. If they attempt any thing of the sort, it will be to call our attention from more important objects. It is much to be wished, that they would prosecute the War on a partisan or detached plan. Nothing would more certainly insure their destruction. The Troops, as fast as they are raised, and their recovery from the Small pox will admit, must come on to Peeks Kills.
I am sorry, the Expedient adopted by the Governor and Council for filling their Quota of Men, has not been attended, with all the advantages expected from it. I wish their next attempt may have more happy consequences. I am persuaded, your remaining in the State some time longer, would be of Service; yet, as I consider, the defence of the Fortifications and passes thro' the Highlands, an object of the last importance, and possessing them, most probably to form the chief end of the Enemy's councils and immediate operations, I wish you to come on to Peeks Kills, and there continue with the Troops, till some further disposition shall become necessary or may be ordered. At the same time, I would wish you to fix upon and leave behind, a sufficient number of proper officers, to collect and hasten on the recruits as fast as they are raised and gone thro' Inoculation. Perhaps more than one may be necessary, and I have no doubt you will choose for this purpose, such as will be of great activity and industry, and in whose conduct, the most implicit confidence may be reposed.
How far the expedition to Long Island, would be practicable, supposing our army was full, I cannot determine; In our present situation, we have no Men to spare for the purpose. Further, I am by no means satisfied, that the rules of War would justify our detaching a Force, to recover our prisoners under their present circumstances. I rather think they would not; But without going into a full discussion of the measure, either upon the principles of War or justice, I am certain, policy strongly forbids the attempt. Success in such case would lead to unhappy consequences. No future prisoners, in the hands of the Enemy, would receive the same favourable indulgence, so essential to their Health and comfort, and would authorize their imposing on them a more close and severe Confinement. You are not to infer from hence, that I esteem the recovery of prisoners unjustifiable in all cases or have any doubts respecting the propriety of it.
I am surprised, you have neither received or heard of the Money sent by Colo. Lee. He was not detained in his return, either thro' this or the State of New York. He left it, I am persuaded, with some of the Surgeons or Physicians of the Hospital or some of your officers.
In respect to the warrant for William Stone's execution you may make any alterations in it, necessary to give effect to the Sentence of the Court Martial, adhering only to the mode of punishment prescribed by the Warrant; Unless you should deem a Deviation on the Side of Mercy requisite, from any circumstances you may have obtained since his trial in his favour. From the proceedings of the court, which were before me, he seemed to merit what they adjudged him to suffer. I am Dear Sir &ca
G. Washington

Former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke doesn't see any bubbles forming in global markets right right now.
But he doesn't think you should take his word for it.
And even if you did, that isn't the right question to ask anyway.
Speaking at a Wall Street Journal event on Wednesday morning, Bernanke said, "I don't see any obvious major mispricings. Nothing that looks like the housing bubble before the crisis, for example. But you shouldn't trust me."
Bernanke also elaborated on how, perhaps, the Fed should've been thinking about bubbles in the run up to the housing crisis.
In the period leading to the 2007-2008 housing crisis, home prices in the US exploded higher. And while certainly many folks thought there was a bubble simply because of the rapid appreciation, Bernanke says that the Fed was merely asking the question, "Is it a bubble or not?"
But wondering if home prices are bubble doesn't really help anybody, because even if you get the answer right, you haven't thought through the problem completely.
Bernanke added:
"One of the thing I learned from our experience in the crisis with respect to the housing bubble is the Fed spent a lot of tim debating is it a bubble, is it not a bubble, and if it is a bubble how big is it? That wasn't the right way to think about it. The right way to think about it would've been: We don't know if it's a bubble, but it might be, and if it bursts, what's the worst thing that could happen. And I think that looking at the worst case scenario is the right way to do it and we didn't do enough of that."
In this analysis, Bernanke is basically conceding that the Fed didn't do enough risk management.
The reason the bursting of the housing bubble was so damaging to the financial system is that billions of dollars of assets — namely mortgage-backed securities — were marketed as "safe" when they in fact turned out to be toxic.
And so in the end it didn't matter whether the Fed saw a too-fast and unsustainable appreciation in home prices or not, because the home price appreciation and resulting deflation in and of itself wasn't the trigger for the crisis. What triggered the crisis was the evaporation in value of derivative products tied to the value of the mortgages attached to these houses.
Bernanke added that while investors might want to ask themselves if, say, stock prices are overvalued or undervalued — and he says an argument could be made either way, probably — the job for the Fed is to ask whether a decline in the price of stocks (or any other asset) would cause broad harm to the economy.
If the answer is yes, then this matters. If not, then you (merely) have investors losing money.

Eight years ago the world of football games was very different. Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer was king and all EA's series could offer were better likenesses and official player names. It was the dawning of this current generation that swung things in FIFA's favour, a shift in fortunes that now sees the gulf between the two series bigger than ever.
The benefits and pitfalls of a lengthy console cycle can be debated, but for iterative sports games it has been a blessing. With each year that has passed FIFA has been refining itself into the solid and all-conquering beast we see today.
At a preview event last week, the assembled journalists saw the game in action on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and were told point blank that there would be no talk of other versions, be they handheld or next gen.
So plainly this wasn't a show about grabbing the big next gen FIFA headline, this was about the little things, about EA Sports tinkering under the bonnet of the FIFA machine. Similarly their gameplay shifts aren't about flamboyant attacking football and wonder strikes, the changes that have been made are all about build-up play and midfield wars.
It all began with impressive stats – 4.4 million Week One Sales, 2.1 billion games played – but despite blowing their own trumpet, the overall impression EA Sports gave was one of modesty. They are fully-aware of the faults with FIFA 13 and were happy to lay them out before expanding on what they had learned and how they planned to rectify.
The first and biggest complaint was about the fast-pace of the gameplay. Often in FIFA 13, matches would turn into end-to-end ping pong games, resulting in a game closer to an arcade-like experience than a simulation. As any football fan can attest, the joy of a great goal isn't always in the shot. It's often in the build-up and that's what EA are aiming to replicate in FIFA 14 by slowing things down and bringing the ball back to the middle of the park.
Shielding the ball is perhaps the change that will most emphasise this. It was possible in FIFA 13 but tricky to pull off unless stationary, where it was automatic. Here with a simple pull of the left trigger a player will slow down and protect the ball at his feet. Whilst sprinting this brings the pace of play down a notch, allowing your team mates to move forward and for you better assess the next phase of play.
In the right hands this could be a very dangerous tool, the potential for midfield generals to the boss game could have a huge impact on a matches. However, rarely is one player responsible for a whole team's success, even the great Lionel Messi (again the poster boy for FIFA this year) needs the support of his equally-great team. To this end the team-mate AI has been greatly improved.
Your team's defenders will now track multiple phases of play and consequently make better decisions. They will also put defensive pressure on more players. So if a winger is getting the best of you down the flank, defenders out of your control will move closer to opposing strikers in case said winger gets a cross in.
On the attacking side of things, backing into defenders is going to make a world of difference to penalty area scraps. Used by shielding the ball, backing into the opposition creates space and allows for support to come, possibly freeing up that all-important chance. Something else that will totally change the attacking game is the wealth of new shooting animations. Where previously there was a single shooting animation with player models often sliding into the correct position if they were too far away from the ball, now the animation depends on a number of factors that also effect accuracy. For example, a player might readjust themselves for a better shot if they have enough space, and if the player finds themselves over the ball or without much time to shoot, they will stab it at and the shot will more often than not be wildly inaccurate.
Also affecting finishing are re-worked ball physics. Previous games, by the developer's own admission, weren't great in this area, so they did a lot of research on the effects of drag and spin on a variety of footballs for FIFA 14. The linear deceleration of the ball, which becomes clear after seeing an example from FIFA 13, is also now gone.
These new physics allow for new types of shots – dipping shots, low-rising shots (demonstrated with real world footage of a Steven Gerrard screamer) – will add variety that will make certain goals all the more incredible and glorious to pull off. The changes also affect long passes and through balls, which can now be curled for even more attacking devastation.
Also on the attacking front, players now also carry more momentum than ever before, which in practice means that sprinting will push the ball away at varying distances, opening up more options for the player but also more opportunities for defenders to regain possession. Increased fidelity in the arc at which a player can turn while sprinting will also affect attacking play.Defending players now also have the opportunity for a second chance tackle. Making tackles less "last ditch" than in previous games, there is a small window of opportunity to hit tackle button again for a second chance.
Skill Games were a very popular aspect of FIFA 13 and so a lot of effort has gone into making this element bigger and better than before. First introduced to make load times less laborious, now they are more of a whole mode in of itself. We weren't shown a whole lot, but one improvement was that some games now have multiple lined-up balls instead of cold restarts, adding a better flow to proceedings.
We were also shown two new skill games that were touted as favourites among the development team. One was a simple one-touch exercise with one player running on one side of a line of cones, passing sporadically to team-mates who will one-two it back to the running player. The other was a game of keep-away. A handful of opposition players try to gain possession from you as you and your team endeavour to keep the ball for as long as possible. It looks addictive.
Finally, and for the first time at a FIFA unveiling, the press were shown some of the improvements to the game's career mode. The hub has been greatly changed from the cluttered mess of FIFA 13. Replacing it (as you can see from the screenshots in this very article) is a much sleeker design utilising tabs for the better juggling of the various aspects of career mode.
On the management side of things there are also big changes coming to the Global Scout Network. Players will now be able to plan all season long for transfer windows, allowing for in-depth scouting that returns refined results. There is also the ability to search for specific traits; so if you're in need of a tall centre back or a pacey winger, you can better find suitable targets. Each of your scouts also have their own part of the menu, so you can assign them to locations and see the players they have found.
EA Sports is clearly a well-oiled machine happy to be building upon a great and solid football game assembled over the duration of this current console cycle. The biggest questions about FIFA 14 will undoubtedly be about the next-gen versions that will almost certainly be announced in the coming months, we hope.
The changes being made to current gen FIFA, however, look to be sensible and take the series in a direction that will please a lot of fans. In the near-future the headlines will be stolen by our first glimpse of a PlayStation 4 or next-Xbox football game, but whether those are good or bad, we can be sure that behind them will be as great a FIFA as we have come to expect.
FIFA 14 will be released in Fall 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.

As a concert photographer, I really have to smile at the fact that Julian Casablancas covered Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" at the Pageant, as that song's title is a haiku-worthy description for the singer's performance.
Photographer's Notes:
Photographing Julian Casablancas was rough. In doing research for this show, I saw that the sets seemed hit or miss, which generally indicates that house lights are used. And, as such, it's all up to the venue and their setup.
At the Pageant, which has a fantastic lighting setup, the one huge challenge is that the lighting rig is super high up in the ceiling – probably a good 30-feet above the stage. Following the inverse square law and lightfall off, light levels drop off very fast this far out. Hence, Julian Casablancas dancing in the dark.
I shot this set exclusively with f/1.4 primes, relying heavily on the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 for many of the tighter shots. Meanwhile, the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 was nice as a more midrange lens for full-length and waist-up shots (when in closer).
People often ask me which lens they should when starting out in concert photography, and I often say it's hard to go with a fast prime like the Nikon 50mm f/1.4. For all the arena tours and national club tours with their own lights, primes are rarely needed. But for shows like this with a very bare and decidedly dim aesthetic, nothing beats a fast prime.
My Camera DSLR and Lenses for Concert Photography
|Nikon D850:
I use two Nikon D850 for my live music photography. A true do-it-all DSLR with amazing AF, fast response, and no shortage of resolution.
|Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8:
For most gigs, the 24-70mm is my go-to lens. Exceptional image quality at wide apertures and super-functional range.
|Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR:
A perfect pair to the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, I can basically shoot any job with the midrange and this lens. Superb image quality.
|Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8:
Ultra-wide perspective, ridiculously sharp even wide open at f/2.8. I love using this lens up-close and personal, where it excels.

Degree programs in construction engineering and management are offered on both University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering campuses: Lincoln's City Campus and the Peter Kiewit Institute in Omaha. Students on both campuses work closely with faculty and with professionals in the field and industry.
- Master of Science (MS): The Master of Science in Construction Engineering and Management degree was designed as a conduit for professionals working in the construction industry to obtain an advanced degree. Typically students in the degree program will continue working on a full or part-time basis for their organization. There are generally no graduate assistantships, fellowships or stipends associated with this particular degree.
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD): The doctoral degree is offered through the unified Ph.D. program in engineering. Upon completion of the program students will receive a Ph.D. in engineering with a specialization in construction engineering and management.
These graduate programs offer a unique blend of courses and research in business, construction management, construction engineering, engineering, architecture, law, and related disciplines. They emphasize advanced studies in construction with application to a broad range of construction activities and applied research. Learn more about the Durham School Graduate Programs.
The admissions committee and faculty consider applicants' research interests and curriculum vitae or resume when determining if a student might be suitable for a fellowship or assistantship. Master's degree students are not generally offered assistantships, but occasionally the department will make an offer to an exceptional candidate.

Zornes: MDM software vendors struggling with data governance
Master data management vendors and practitioners face some difficulties in linking MDM and data governance initiatives, consultant Aaron Zornes says.
Systems integrators and small master data management specialist shops will spend the rest of this year and much...

of 2013 looking for profitable ways to bring prefabricated data governance frameworks to the marketplace, according to a recent MDM field report from Aaron Zornes, a well-known IT industry consultant occasionally referred to as the "godfather of MDM."
Zornes predicts that during the same time frame, larger master data management (MDM) software vendors like Oracle, IBM and Microsoft will struggle to link governance-related processes with MDM hub technologies, which are used to create a "single source of the truth" of data while enforcing data quality rules.
The companies that purchase and use MDM software will face their own challenges as they continue to seek practical and cost-effective ways to implement MDM and data governance best practices on an enterprisewide scale, according to the report.
Zornes, founder and chief researcher at The MDM Institute, said in an interview that the report's findings are based on a recent review of more than 750 MDM and data governance case studies, survey results and conversations with MDM practitioners and software vendors over the last seven years.
MDM initiatives are designed to help organizations ensure that disparate IT systems, business units and employees have immediate access to the most current information about customers, products, suppliers or other entities. Experts maintain that data governance, which aims to ensure high levels of data quality by setting policies on information management, is an essential component of any MDM program.

"Go governance, go early," Zornes said. "You've got to do governance; otherwise, it's not sustainable, and you're not going to get the real [return on investment]. Without governance, MDM is just data integration."
Fortunately for MDM practitioners and vendors alike, the report's findings were not all bleak. The MDM Insitute says that awareness of the importance of MDM and data governance is at an all-time high. Zornes himself expressed astonishment at the large number of professionals on networking website LinkedIn with the words data governance or master data in their titles today as compared with five years ago.
"[MDM and data governance] are among the most widely adopted IT strategies in recent years," the report reads. "That's because both are critical for vital business outcomes such as 360 degree views of customers/products/suppliers, regulatory reporting and compliance, and in general treating data as an enterprise asset."
Despite the challenges that MDM vendors face enabling data governance, Zornes said MDM tools in general have matured quite a bit and are well past the early-adopter phase.
"[MDM] is no longer a 'fast follower' technology, but is now a mature solution providing tangible benefits for private and public sector organizations," the report reads. "The desired economic outcomes are new ways to drive down costs, enable better regulatory compliance, provide higher levels of customer satisfaction and to provide increased agility."
Proof that MDM offerings have grown more mature can be seen in typical request for proposals (RFPs), Zornes said.
"It used to be in RFPs that an organization would say, 'We want to cover customer and product, and we'll call it multi-domain or multi-entity MDM,' " Zornes explained. "Nowadays in RFPs, they just assume that the vendor can do both, [although] sometimes the vendor does it in two or more different software [packages]."
Zornes sizes up the MDM software market
The new field report from the MDM Institute looks at several MDM-related trends and issues. Here's a quick rundown of some of the report's major findings and predictions:
- End users continue to grapple with data governance: Most enterprises will struggle to implement data governance throughout 2012 while focusing on the customer, vendor or product master data domains.
- MDM products will evolve their data governance capabilities: During 2014 and 2015, end users can expect vendors to begin focusing on "proactive" and integrated data governance frameworks.
- Stewardship role growing more complex: The role of data stewards -- the people who oversee data governance initiatives and mediate disputes between business units -- is evolving to include workflow and policy design, management and enforcement tasks
- Increased multi-domain support: Users are increasingly demanding that vendors offer support for multi-domain MDM, reference data management and integrated data governance.
- Vendors to link MDM and business process management (BPM): MDM and BPM technology makers will continue working to create BPM-centric MDM offerings, but they will face difficulties because business processes tend to vary greatly between master data domains.
- Universal MDM: MDM buyers will assume "and insist" that all MDM software platforms be targeted toward enterprise-level deployment.
- More users being trained on MDM: The number of IT professionals being trained in specific MDM technologies is increasing dramatically. But IT organizations will struggle to recruit highly experienced MDM veterans in the near future.

Marmalade generally refers to a fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water.
Marmalade came to us from the Ancient times, and the word itself can mean a lot of things, but generally it is agreed that "marmalade" refers to a fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water.
In other countries it may have different taste, shape and contents, but in Russia the most famous form of marmalade was "lemon slices", which were very popular in the Soviet times.
Nowadays we have a lot of other marmalade, of course, but "Lemon Slices" are as popular as ever.
Still, you can choose from a variety of other forms and flavors, many of which were never produced in USSR and appeared only in modern Russia.
Want to know where to buy online Russian marmalade candy?

Kettler Kettcar Suzuka Air
As an engineer, I found the assembly of the product was more difficult if you tried to follow the instruction than it was if you followed the sketches with a magnifying glass.
If there were a couple of holes where a numbered component had to go it failed to indicate where the attachment should be i.e. component "A" fits through hole "A" etc.
The service and pricing of the product from SPORT-TIEDJE was brilliant and I am encouraged to use your company again.
Many Thanks,

Kettler Multigym Plus
Multigym Plus was delivered in 4 packages and contained several parts in separate pouches/bags and some basic tools neeed. Building the multigym was easy since all pouches were marked with numbers and referred in instruction sheet. There was although some parts that were labelled with incorrect number, but finding the correct parts was still easy. All bolts, nuts, bits and pieces were separated in groups and numbered based on instruction sheet pages. Building took time about 5 to 6 hours with all finishing touches.
Build quality and finishing is very good. As example there is no distinctive weldings and all bolts and nuts are covered with black plastic caps. Coloring of the multigym is all black excluding the Kettler texts. One could wish for some other colors in paddings but this is very minor issue.
Multigym was delivered with training manual describing most of the movements that can be performed with the device. Some simple movements were not covered in this manual and as example side cables with grips make it possible to do a wide variaty of movements depending on adjustments and positioning.
Multigym does not squeak or rattle during the movements. Fine tuning the main cable tension is easy with separate hand tightened adjustment screw, but tightening the side cable/rope into optimal tension requires few pulls of the rope ith weights and a wrench. Amount of weights is more than sufficient to home use.
Kettler Multigym Plus replaces easily many separate one movement devices and fits easily to home due to its compact size. Definitely recommended fitness device!

However, what we do know about back pain is, the majority of back problems at any age result from the effects of poor posture adding up over time. Definitely, improper backpack load can negatively effect posture. A heavy load in a backpack worn improperly will cause the body to make improper adjustments to compensate for the weight. This includes a stooped forward, rounded shoulder posture and forward protrusion of the head and neck. This posture as well as ill- fitting straps can cause back and neck pain, can effect the person's ability to breathe and can lead to arm and hand numbness and pain from impingement of nerves coursing from the neck.
Research-based guidelines have been developed for backpacks. The backpack should not be too large, rather it should run from the shoulder level to the waist level. Shoulder straps should be adjusted to this level and the backpack should fit snugly against the back. Well- padded straps to prevent nerve compression as well as a padded back to prevent objects from digging into the back are key. A waist strap is immensely helpful at redistributing some of the weight from the spine and shoulders to the hips, diminishing the load on the shoulders. Choose a lightweight material like canvas over heavier materials like leather.
A backpack should weigh less than 10% of the carrier's body weight for kids less than 14 years of age. Older children and adults can safely carry up to 15% of their body weight in a properly – fitted backpack. Place heaviest objects closer to the spine to keep the centre of gravity as close as possible to the centre of the body.
When putting a backpack on, be sure to bend the knees to lift, not your waist. Hold the pack close to your body while putting one arm in and then the other, and always wear both shoulder straps.
Development of good postural habits begins in childhood and with growing children being the primary wearers of backpacks, it is important to practice backpack safety when choosing and wearing a backpack!
