This invention is concerned with constructional elements known generally as structural cores. Specifically the invention relates to a core medium which replaces quasi-isotropic surfaces, or constructional cores of the honey comb type.
Structural cores are the subject of several U.S. Pat. Nos. such as 3,689,345, 3,813,273 and 3,642,566. These cores are in the form of open-ended polyhedrons joined together along common edges or sides. Such structural core media are generating high industrial interest because of the great strengths they possess relative to their weights. Aircraft constructional cores, for example, must possess quasi-isotropic load-carring capabilities, including tension, compression, bending and torsional rigidity. Structural core media thus have many uses in the aircraft and other fields.
The structural core medium with which this invention is concerned is similar to that described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,645,833 and 3,657,059. A core of interwoven fibrous filaments is described, coated with plastic to make the core medium. The ultimate core medium is highly satisfactory. However, it is subject to the disadvantage that the fiberous filaments must be wound on a jig to form the interwoven filament core.
In accordance with the practice of this invention a core medium such as that made heretofore from fibrous filaments is made from a continuous ribbon. The ribbon is cut into two or more bendable strips. These strips, having lateral offset sections of one width dimension along the lengths thereof, are bent to form triangular sides and occluded dihedral angles of tetrahedrons and octahedrons. The bent strips are then joined to form rows of alternate open-faced tetrahedrons and octahedrons. The octahedrons and tetrahedrons in one row are in offset sequential relation to the tetrahedrons and octahedrons in an adjacent row. A core medium is thus provided which includes a series of ribbon strips having deformable sections of uniform width and lateral offset sections along the length thereof. Strips are bent to form sides, and dihedral angles, of polyhedrons, and two or more strips are then joined together to form rows of completed open-faced polyhedrons.
It will be seen that in a preferred embodiment of the invention a series of ribbon strips are bent and joined to form a quasiisotropic surface made of rows of alternate open-faced tetrahedrons and octahedrons. The nature of these strips, the method of bending them, and manner of joining strips together can be best explained by reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view of portion of a strip showing bend lines.
FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 are fragmentary plan views of bent strips.
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view showing the strips of FIGS. 2 and 3 joined to form tetrahedrons.
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary view showing the strips of FIGS. 3 and 4 joined to form octahedrons.
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary view of a portion of a completed structural core medium.
Referring now to FIG. 1, in this aspect of the invention a strip of continuous ribbon 2 is in the form of sections 2a 2b and 2c provided with bend lines d and e defining alternate inverted and upright equilateral triangles 6 and 8. These triangles have common sides, shown as solid bend lines d and dotted bend lines e therebetween.
It will be observed that confined within each section 2a, 2b or 2c are six equilateral triangles. Adjoining sections (e.g. 2a and 2b) are laterally offset one width dimension along the length of the ribbon. In order to effect this offset mode, superimposed above the last triangle 6 of one section (for instance section 2a), with a common side e' therebetween, is the first triangle 8 of a subsequent section (2b), forming the continuous ribbon.
Consideration will now be accorded the bending of the strips to form partial polyhedrons. By bending, of course, is meant the inflecting of the strip to form permanent deformations between triangular surfaces, with no warped faces. It is understood that the bend may be either abrupt or rounded, and that bendable materials are such high strength to weight materials as aluminum and magnesium alloys, Nomex, (du Pont's trademark for a nylon fiber, polyamide paper) fiberglass and graphite composites, and plasters. However any material which bends, with or without the application of heat, with permanent set, i.e. without springback and rupture, can be employed.
The bending of the ribbon is effected so as to form two different strips which are conversely bent. Considering the triangular surfaces shown in FIG. 1, bending involves only two rather specific and generally oppositely directed dihedral angles. Referring to FIG. 1, it has been noted that common sides between designated triangles have been identified by d, e and e'. In bending the strip along these bend lines to form equilateral triangular surfaces, ideally dihedral angles of 70�32' or 109�28' are formed. Latitude is of course possible so long as sides mate when two strips are joined as will be described to form a core structure. Variations in triangular size and shape result in simple and compound curvature and variation in core depth. Thus a deviation in the angles of one strip can be compensated for by the deviations in the mating strip. For flat sheets, with equilateral triangular surfaces, bends will approach the ideal.
Considering now the first strip, 10 (FIG. 2) the dihedral angle sizes and directions depend upon whether the bend line in FIG. 1 is a solid d line or a dotted e line. The triangular surfaces on each side of the d lines are angularly disposed relative to each other by bends along a line d so that dihedral angles g of 70�32' are formed, and so that each angle opening faces virtually the same direction. The common sides between triangular surfaces form the vertices of the dihedral angles. The triangular surfaces on each side of bend line e and of section-connection bend line e' are disposed relative to each other by bends along lines e and e' to form dihedral angles h of 109�28', whose openings, in general, face in a direction opposite the openings of the 70�32' dihedral angles. Stated differently, this disposition of the triangular surfaces in any section results in the formation of two terminal and three internal dihedral angles, the terminal dihedral angles facing in one direction, the internal dihedral angles opening in the opposite direction. The superimposed triangular surfaces forming a dihedral section-connecting angle along bend line e' open in the same general direction as the internal dihedral angles. The first structural core element is thus formed from a strip 10 having at least two offset sections such as 2a and 2b, wherein the terminal angles g are 70�32' dihedral angles and wherein the internal and section-connecting angles h are 109�28' dihedral angles.
To form the second structural core element a second strip, 12, (FIG. 3) is conversely bent, that is the terminal angles g are 109�28' dihedral angles, and the internal and section connecting angles h are 70�32' dihedral angles. In other words, the same general angle disposition applies to strip 12 but the bends are the converse of those in strip 10. By "in general" and "virtually" we allow for the slight non-linearity of angle disposition as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
Having described the formation of the two strips or core elements 10 and 12 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a two element truss or structural core medium will now be described. As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 there are two ways core elements 10 and 12 can be joined with the apices of their dihedral angles in abutment. As seen in FIG. 5 the two core elements 10 and 12 can be joined by sliding element 10 against 12. The elements of FIGS. 2 and 3 when pushed together from their positions shown in the drawings form rows of alternately offset open-faced tetrahedrons 14 as shown in FIG. 5. These rows of open-ended tetrahedrons are formed by using the openings of the 70�32' dihedral angles and the backs of the triangular surfaces formed by the 109�28' dihedral angles. As indicated the dihedral angles h all generally open in the same direction in a particular core element. The triangular surfaces constituting the exterior sides of these dihedral angles form the third sides of the open-ended tetrahedrons. The abuting bend lines can then be joined by soldering, welding, gluing etc.
If core element 10 of FIG. 2 is removed to the opposite side of core element 12 of FIG. 3, as it is in FIG. 4, openended octahedrons 20 shown in FIG. 6, rather than tetrahedrons, will be formed. In this instance structural element 10 is joined to the opposite side of element 12 (visualized by pushing the structural elements as drawn in FIGS. 3 and 4 together). On joining strips 12 and 10 of FIGS. 3 and 4 the series of three 109�28� dihedral angles g of the other core element. When core elements 12 and 10 are thus aligned, the bend lines e of core element 12 are in abutment with those of core element 10 so that they can be glued, welded or otherwise joined together.
It will be appreciated that two core elements, joined as shown in FIGS. 5 or 6, constitute a structural core. If desired panels can be secured on the sides of these cores to form box-like structural members. Where larger structural cores are desired additional core elements 10 and 12 will be alternately disposed and secured as described in conjunction with FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The inclusion of additional core elements results in the formation of rows of open-ended tetrahedrons 14 and octahedrons 20 as well as columns of these polyhedrons. The result is rows of tetrahedrons 14 and octahedrons 20, with polyhedrons in each row being in offset sequential relation to the polyhedrons in an adjacent row as in structural core 22 shown in FIG. 7.
It can be seen that there is provided herein a structural core formed from a continuous ribbon rather than from coated fibers. The ribbon is in the form of a series of bendable sections of uniform width, each section being at least six times as long as it is wide. Adjacent sections are offset from each other one width dimension along the length of the ribbon. A preferred application of the invention is the provision of an improved high strength and high rigidity per unit weight core structure for aircraft sandwich structures, such as wings, rotor blades, skin and floor panels. The structural core medium has multidirectional strength properties rendering it useful in other applications as well. Whereas the tetrahedrons and octahedrons shown are formed from equilateral triangles, variations in triangle size and shape, taking care that abutted bend lines match in length, will result in curvature and variation in core depth. In addition whereas a single layer of the structural core is shown, superimposed layers, with or without panels therebetween, can be fabricated. Further, structural elements 10 and 12 can be molded using plastic materials. These and other variations will occur to one skilled in the art. Such modifications are deemed to be within the scope of this invention.

|Storyline: London based American nurse, Susan, Lady Ashwood, is at the hospital awaiting the imminent arrival of injured soldiers. She is hoping that her enlisted son, Sir John Ashwood, who resembles his father both in appearance and temperament, is not among those injured. As she waits, she remembers back to WWI when her husband, the previous Sir John Ashwood, was enlisted, and the waiting she endured on any news from and about him while he was away in battle. From a humble background, Sue almost didn't meet Sir John let alone marry him as she and her father, Hiram Dunn, the publisher of a small daily newspaper, were only in London in April 1914 on a two week vacation - her first ever trip - that was not going very well when by happenstance she got invited on her last day in London to the king's ball, where Sir John was awaiting the arrival of another young woman with who he was supposed to keep company for the evening. Despite being mutually attracted to each other, the patriotic Sue didn't know whether she could leave the United States and get accustomed both to John's family's aristocratic manners as well as the English customs in general. She also thinks back to approximately ten years earlier when she was urged by her father to return to the States on the inevitability that the Germans would once again be the aggressors in a war. Through it all, Sue is a proud American despite having lived the better part of her life in England.

Francesco Nicoli is an ACCESS EUROPE postdoc where he is working on the research project the Political Economy of Postfunctional Integration. He is also the coordinator of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET-YSI) Working Group on Europe's Political Economy of Europe.
ACCESS EUROPE pursues three main functions: research, education, and public outreach. We organise seminars, research workshops, public lecture series, and other joint activities on which we build systematically. Across each of these functions, ACCESS EUROPE focuses on six interrelated themes.
The European Union is by any standards an unconventional polity. It is neither a federal state, nor a loose confederation of states, nor an international organization.
The clamorous rejection of the European Constitution in national referenda in 2005 was an important moment in the political history both of Europe and the countries that rejected it.
European integration and the expansion of the welfare state are closely related institutional innovations of the postwar era.
The deepening of European integration has been accompanied by broader societal and demographic changes, such as individualization, increasing cultural diversity, the rise of the service economy, and population ageing.
In the rapidly mutating global and domestic context, understanding the changing identities of Europe and Europeans is crucial.
Over the past three decades, the deepening and widening of European integration has propelled the EU to a prominent role on the global stage.

New Casino Bonuses
The booming online gambling market is attracting more and more online casinos that are offering ever richer new casino bonuses in order to claim a slice of the action.

How to Find the Latest Casino Bonuses Online
The trick is to unearth these brand new gambling destinations as they open their virtual doors. With fresh new venues emerging on the World Wide Web every hour of the day, it's almost impossible to keep track of these embryonic gambling dens or their sizzling hot one off casino bonus codes. This is where great gambling guides step in to assist you in your quest for priceless new casino bonuses.

We've arranged our quick reference casino bonuses according to bonus category, player nationality and casino games genre so that you can find the latest casino bonuses quickly and efficiently regardless of your location!
Claim New Casino Bonuses Right Here
It's not always a good idea to claim no deposit new casino bonuses or, for that matter, any new casino bonus codes directly from an emerging casino. As with all successful industries you'll find plenty of rogue operators intent on seizing a market share by offering astonishing new casino bonuses. Despite the fact you don't have to make a deposit to bet and play online you will have to make multiple real money bets so as to meet certain wagering requirements.
These fly by night gambling destinations are notorious for not paying out any winnings and you are never assured of fair play. They simply disappear with a bounty of ill-gotten gains. If you rely on experienced campaigners that only feature the latest casino bonuses from licensed and regulated online casinos, you're on a good gambling wicket. Check out our compilation of new casino bonuses that are refreshed on a frequent basis, read our independent casino reviews and then claim a suitable casino bonus code from our site!
New Casino Bonus Categories
In order to attract and retain new players, online casinos are becoming more and more creative. Browse the latest casino bonuses posted on eCasinosonline.com and you'll notice a wide variety of bonus options. There are percentage match bonuses, where the casino matches your deposit amount up to a maximum limit, and free play bonuses, where you are given free cash in the form of a prescribed number of free bets that are only valid for a certain amount of time. If online slots are your betting preference you'll be enamoured with the free spins bonuses that usually comprise between 20 and 50 free spins of a particular reel, progressive or video slot title. Match percentage bonuses can be in the form of new player or welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, high roller bonuses, VIP loyalty bonuses, refer-a-friend bonuses and daily, weekly or monthly bonuses.
Search for New Online Casinos with No Deposit Bonuses
If you're new to gambling online your first consideration should be to find new online casinos that offer no deposit bonuses. These fabulous cash giveaways may be small in stature but they do allow you to check out the casino software and go through the games menu without busting the proverbial bank. It's a nice neat way of building your bank roll and extending play so that you can learn the fine art of gambling online and win crates of cash at the same time!
Scan the new casino bonuses featured on eCasinosonline.com for great deals from great online casinos that will allow you to bet, play and win on the house!

When: 17th & 18th June 2016
7.30pm to midnight
Where: The Larder House
4 Southbourne Grove
Cost: £60 per ticket
For Event Details Click Here
The Larder House (one of our fav local hotspots) has developed a reputation for throwing a party on a grand scale. James and team often go all out to make an experience truly memorable and have previously tackled the categories of gin and whisky (part of which involved flooding a section of the restaurant to create a Japanese water garden). This time – and perhaps because of TheFloatingRumShack.com influence – it's going to be all about the world of rum. Yeap – the whole world of rum – tackled across five stages – in one evening! *
Global Finals of the Rhum Clément Ti-Punch Cup
"I say Rhum, you say Clément!"
A short while ago, seventeen bartenders and all the associated brand teams, journalists and a few rhum enthusiasts from ten countries came together on the beautiful country of Martinique – a real jewel of the eastern Caribbean – to contest the Global Finals of the Rhum Clément Ti'Punch Cup! And I have to tell you that TheFloatingRumShack.com was super excited to be a part of what proved to be an amazing trip.
The Hukilau 15th Anniversary Celebration June 8-12th 2016
A Tiki Celebration!
The Hukilau will celebrate its 15th anniversary in June with a historic celebration of Tiki culture and the 60th anniversary of The Mai-Kai, joined by a very special guest artist.

The eagle-eyed reader might well notice that this website carries a link for the Rumboat Retreat in Grenada. This fab location is the result of the hard work of our friend Lisette who had a specific vision for a place that vacationers to Grenada could enjoy! Actively promoting all the wonderful cultural and natural places on the Spice Isle, but also rum – which is not only the spirit of Grenada but the Caribbean as well!
Yaguara Cachaça Twitter Tasting
When: 21st June, 7.30-9.00pm (BST)
It's been a while since we've hosted a Twitter Tasting and as this Summer is going to be all about the Olympic Games in Brazil, we've been on something of a cachaça mission of late. Yaguara have kindly stepped up to the mark and agreed to share some of their secrets with us all and offer those involved a chance to taste one expression of cachaça that you'll just not be able to get any other way.
Penny Blue Rum Launches First VSOP Release
A Coming Of Age…
We've not yet sampled the new Penny Blue VSOP, but hope springs eternal and despite the release being 'exclusively Mauritius', I'm sure there might be a dram to be found in the UK if one searches hard enough!
Gruppo Campari Honours Joy Spence and Eddie Russell
Two Masters… One Love!
I just had to share this press release from Gruppo Campari, as we here at TheFloatingRumShack have so much love, on so many levels for Joy Spence. We've had the pleasure of meeting her a number of times over the years and hope that there will be many more as the ambassador role that she fulfills really is inspiring. To help put her passion into context, I thought I'd share a brief story that arose from the last time I met her.
El Dorado Rare Collection Rum
A Glimpse at The Future…
Given that 2016 is the 50th Anniversary of Guyana's independence from the United Kingdom, you genuinely could expect this year to contain a few fairly exciting releases from DDL in celebration of the fact. Until now, if you wanted to taste a really old single still, single cask rum produced at Demerara Distillers Limited – your choices were limited somewhat. With the end of the Velier releases, the future looked 'empty', but now that the actual producer of the rum has come to realise that there is a lot of kudos to be gained through releasing their own rum, under their own label, I suspect that there will be more to come in future. Especially as these are so good.
Gn Chan Crowned Global Legacy Winner
Venceremos is the 2016 'Legacy'
I think it goes without saying that I'm pretty keen to try the winning cocktail from the recent Global Finals of Bacardi Legacy. Initially more than a little nonplussed about the "inspired by the Piña Colada" line, the subsequent feedback from our Cocktail Wonk buddy has now whetted my appetite sufficiently, though!
Sailor Jerry Hits The Road For Round Two of The Ride
Round Two!
Press Release: Sailor Jerry, will be hitting the road once again for round two of "The Ride". Kicking off on Saturday 2nd July, three bad-ass, bike building teams from across the UK will be tasked with a series of epic challenges and compete against each other on a hell raising journey of balls-to-wall riding.

Referral pathways and management of contact lens-related microbial keratitis in Australia and New Zealand
Keay, Lisa, Edwards, Katie P., & Stapleton, Fiona (2008) Referral pathways and management of contact lens-related microbial keratitis in Australia and New Zealand. Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology, 36(3), pp. 209-216.
We examine the referral pathways and treatment for contact lens-related microbial keratitis in Australia and New Zealand. METHODS: Cases were reported in May 2003-September 2004; data on presentation, referral and treatment collected from practitioners and via patient interview. Severity was graded, 1-week cure rate estimated, delays in treatment and medications documented. Hospital and private clinic managements were compared. RESULTS: A total of 297 eligible cases were reported; detailed information on treatment and referral pathways was available on a subset of these cases. Presentation was to optometrists (81/200, 41%), general practitioners (GPs) (69/200, 34%) or emergency departments (46/200, 23%). Optometrists referred to private ophthalmologists (47/79, 60%) more often than hospitals (27/79, 34%). GPs initiated treatment (39/68, 57%) but also referred to hospitals (22/68, 32%) and to private ophthalmologists (7/68, 10%). Of all cases, 67% (195/297) were managed in hospitals (29% admitted, 87/297). Hospitalized cases were predominantly managed with fortified aminoglycoside/cephalosporin (66/81, 82%) and others fluoroquinolones (168/195, 86%). Steroids were used in 36% (98/276) commencing on day 5 (median, interquartile range = 3-7). One-week cure rate was 60% (49/82) in private clinics, 72% (62/86) for hospital outpatient cases and 37% (25/67, P < 0.001) for inpatient cases, which were more severe diseases (47%, 52% and 0% mild, respectively). Delays (>/=12 h) receiving therapy were experienced by 33% (55/168) because of initial inappropriate treatment (48/55), time delays (7/55) but not remoteness (P = 0.6). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of treatment is via hospital clinics, but milder disease is managed in private clinics. The referral process via optometrists, GPs and emergency departments is generally efficient; however, one-third of cases experienced some delays before receiving appropriate therapy highlighting the need for timely diagnosis.

The Masquerade Presents
The Autumn Effect Tour
10 Years
Big Jesus | REALM
7:00 PM | $20.00 ADV | All Ages
After a year and a half on the road touring 2010's Feeding The Wolves, 10 Years reached a turning point. It was time to move forward and take full control of their career by launching their own label, Palehorse Records. In addition, the band decided to self-produce their fourth album, Minus the Machine, at drummer/guitarist Brian Vodinh's Kashmir Recording.
Splitting up with a major label after five years was "a very scary step to take," Hasek admits. "It's like breaking up with a longtime girlfriend. You're used to the motions, but when it becomes stale and unhappy, you need to move on and get energy back into your life. There was no anger on either side. We just painlessly…
Below each trudging riff and well beyond the dense ashes of the low-end, a grinding melody appears—the core essence of Big Jesus. The band was formed from a non serious idea of C.J. Ridings and things just kept snowballing after a few songs were hosted online. Line ups shifted and members rotated until Spencer Ussery, Tommy Gonzalez, and Joe Sweat completed the roster that would end up penning a deal with Mascot Label Group. Big Jesus is a balancing act of heavy, pretty, bludgeoning, soothing, aggressive, and droning tones that are put together in a way that is distinctly their own.

Today's elections are the biggest and most important since the general election in 2001. Every UK seat in the European Parliament is being contested, together with a significant section of English local council wards and the powerful mayoralty in London. Normally a large range of factors would determine the outcome of such diverse elections, ranging from the Government's overall record to the views of local candidates on cycle lanes and rubbish collection.
Today's elections are the biggest and most important since the general election in 2001. Every UK seat in the European Parliament is being contested, together with a significant section of English local council wards and the powerful mayoralty in London. Normally a large range of factors would determine the outcome of such diverse elections, ranging from the Government's overall record to the views of local candidates on cycle lanes and rubbish collection.
But today's poll takes place in the shadow of the war against Iraq. Inevitably, the outcome will be seen in part as a verdict on Tony Blair's decision to support the conflict and the chaos that has ensued, both in Iraq and in our relationship with other nations. Europe is the other issue that has dominated the campaigning in recent weeks, not least because of an apparent surge in support for the one-note United Kingdom Independence Party.
In these unusual political circumstances, there is an overwhelming case to send out two distinct messages. Above all, there is a chance to demonstrate that there are electoral consequences for a Prime Minister who led Britain into an unnecessary and calamitous war. Of course, these elections are not directly about the war, but they offer voters their first opportunity to register their distaste for Mr Blair's actions. And he deserves to pay a political price. It is important also that pro-Europeans register their support for any party that dares to challenge the xenophobic, simplistic policies advocated by some in these elections.
On both counts, the Conservatives deserve a drubbing. If they had opposed the war from the outset, they would probably be well ahead in the polls. Instead, the leadership was more gung-ho than Tony Blair, and, despite Michael Howard's recent attempts to distance himself from the Prime Minister on this issue, the Tories remain wedded to this neo-conservative cause.
On Europe, Mr Howard's claim that Britain can remain a member of the European Union while rejecting virtually all the initiatives supported by other member states is not remotely practical. He has fallen between two stools, pleasing neither hardline Eurosceptics nor pro-Europeans. Mr Howard had hoped these elections would provide a springboard towards the general election; instead, they are likely only to remind him how far he and his party have to travel to convince voters that they are an alternative government with credible policies.
It is to be hoped, however, that their mistakes don't give too much help to UKIP and the British National Party, whose bigoted and uninformed prejudices are so distasteful.
The cost of war
Tony Blair has an incomparably more constructive approach towards Europe compared to his two Conservative predecessors and Michael Howard's current position - although this is not saying very much and, in truth, he has achieved little. More broadly, he can point to a strong economy, some minor improvements to the public services and some progressive, if under-publicised, reforms. These are achievements that will deserve more attention in a general election campaign. But for now, for many voters, these successes pale beside the actions of a Prime Minister who sent British troops into battle on a false premise.
With a passionate advocacy, Mr Blair took his nation to war asserting that Iraq posed an imminent threat. Since then, no weapons of mass destruction have been found, and it has emerged that much of the intelligence used to justify the conflict was wrong. Now the Prime Minister claims that we all knew that Saddam possessed weapons because he used them on his own people. But before the war Mr Blair was making an entirely different claim: that Saddam had developed new and more lethal weapons that put us all into danger.
The conflict was also supposed to be part of the war against terrorism, and yet it has served only to heighten the terrorists' threat, failed to lead us any closer to a resolution of the Israel-Palestine situation, and has damaged Britain's reputation around the world. This has been Britain's most disastrous foreign policy decision since Suez. A strong vote for Labour would be taken as a signal that Mr Blair had emerged politically unscathed from his war. That should not, and probably will not, happen.
So how should voters show their loathing of this war to Mr Blair? The Greens are an important political voice in Britain, raising many issues that would otherwise go unheard, both locally and nationally. They also opposed the war. But they are a small political force and support for them would split the anti-war vote. Respect is a motley collection of extremists trying to exploit Mr Blair's discomfort; they are not serious contenders, nor do they deserve to be.
A courageous stand
This leaves the Liberal Democrats. Charles Kennedy took a courageous decision in deciding to oppose the war, while his foreign affairs spokesman, Menzies Campbell, has been the most forensic and powerful critic on the opposition benches. It is also a party that has shown conviction on the euro and never hidden its desire for Britain to play a more committed role in the European project. Mr Kennedy has, additionally, been a lonely voice speaking up for the rights of immigrants and asylum-seekers, whether from the newer member states of the EU or from other parts of the globe.
The Liberal Democrats have, unfortunately, fought a rather lacklustre campaign, especially in London, where their candidate Simon Hughes has been elbowed aside by the Tories. And, demonstrating the complexity of today's elections, Ken Livingstone, once again a Labour candidate, was opposed to the war, had the courage to introduce the congestion charge and is one of the most persuasive advocates of Britain's membership of the single currency. Support for Livingstone could not be seen as an endorsement of Mr Blair's foreign policy. Likewise, in less high-profile contests elsewhere, there are principled candidates standing for election for a range of parties, personally opposed to the war and supportive of Britain's active membership of the EU.
The key issues
Given the nature of these elections, it is possible that there will be no overall winners except, perhaps, on the fringes. The two-party system we have known for more than a century is under pressure from an increasingly sophisticated electorate that is comfortable with making choices. But in the main, voters should act in the knowledge that the higher the Labour vote, the more Mr Blair would be able to claim that the war was only an issue that obsesses the Westminster village. And they should bear in mind that on the two key issues - the war in Iraq and Britain's place in Europe - the Liberal Democrats have demonstrated their courage, their conviction and their principles, an all-too-rare event in British politics.
These are important elections today. But this is not a general election. Voters should take the opportunity to demonstrate to Mr Blair their contempt for his foreign adventurism, for his willingness to provide cover for President George Bush's administration, and for his extraordinary naivety on the international stage. A Prime Minister who led his country into such an ill-thought out and unjustified war, with such damaging consequences, deserves to feel the heat.

I bought the Toyota RS2000 16 stitch model several years ago (at least five) and I've had nothing but trouble with it, the under thread would catch and now the top thread keeps catching, even though it's at the correct tension and has a new needle. I would not recommend this to anyone. I had a Pfaff (the old metal kind) over 20 years ago and it was really easy to use, until my sister used it and it broke down. Get a Janome, Singer or Pfaff but not a Toyota.

"Although other issues have contributed to the GOP's struggles with
Latino voters, the party's strident opposition to immigration reform has
poisoned the electoral well. From California's Proposition 187
referendum in the 1990s to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's signing of the most
anti-immigrant law in the country in 2010; from the antics of crusading
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to the state-level attempts to
secure borders to denying benefits to immigrants or their children,
conservative groups and their Republican allies are leading the
anti-immigrant charge." - Thomas Schaller, Jan. 11, 2012.

Abolitionists have been working to end slavery for hundreds of years. Great progress has been made but we need you to help finish the job. TraffickFree Communities (TFCs) facilitate collaboration between key stakeholders to ensure that slave labor and slave goods are not a part of our communities.
Engaged citizens form a TFC group to work with eight key community stakeholders to ensure:
- Schools: are made aware of how to protect their students from being lured into sex trafficking, and are equipped to become advocates for freedom.
- Local Legislatures: are made aware of how strong ordinances can drive traffickers out of their cities.
- First Responders: medical clinics and paramedics, and other members of the medical community have the information they need to spot a victim of trafficking and get them the help they need.
- The Media: reports about the issue consistently and with sensitivity.
- Consumers: are made aware of the products that contain slave labor and are empowered to take action for freedom.
- Local Businesses: such as laundromats and motels are informed about trafficking and how to report suspicious activity.
- Faith Communities: become centers for prayer, advocacy and justice on behalf of the enslaved.
- Law Enforcement personnel: are equipped with the information they need to identify trafficking victims and get them the help they need.

There were a lot of positives and negatives to takeaway from the Cougs 27-21 win, but here are three at stood out most to me:
1. Cougar D makes UCLA earn every yard
Other than a couple late drives that allowed the Bruins to get back into the game, it was rare to see UCLA find any success during their 26-minutes of possession Saturday night. Every ball that was caught, every run that was attempted - there were Coug defenders right there to stop the play short. The front seven continued to wreak havoc in the backfield as they have for the past three games. Dylan Hanser was a huge piece to puzzle to shut down the Bruin's offense as he forced two huge turnovers. Not only that, the secondary had their best game of the season so far picking off Mike Faufal twice and recovering two fumbles.
2. Cracraft came up big in the clutch
River Cracraft and Luke Falk have something very special going on right now. Their chemistry and timing has reached a new level over the past two games - something that seems to have been missing ever since the Connor Halliday era. From one-handed grabs to fourth down conversions, Cracraft came up big when the Cougs needed a spark to keep the offense and a drive alive. This duo is becoming one of the team's most dangerous weapons on offense, which is something the Cougs have a whole lot of right now.
3. Marks getting star treatment
There is something to be said about the lack of overall production from Gabe Marks this year, and I don't think that it has anything to do with his capability on the field. From what I have seen throughout the season, every defender that lines up across from Marks plays with a chip on their shoulder. They've all heard the hype, and now they want a piece of one of what many consider one of the best receivers in the nation. Not only is Marks constantly facing each teams best DB, double teams and various zone coverage combinations have directly affected his targets, which then reflect in the stat sheets.

(this is his dominant personality type)
(he also shows elements of this type)
A good and decent man looking for a down to Earth fun loving woman with a passion for life and a spontaneous spirit.
He is an independent thinker who approaches problems with an analytical, exacting, systematic and resourceful mind. Yet he also has a traditional, even sentimental streak and can be very protective of those he loves.
Because he is ambitious, tough-minded and hardworking, his close friends admire him. Yet his complex personality is often hidden behind a wall of composure and logic.
He is attracted to someone who can complement him-someone who is verbally graceful, who weighs alternatives carefully and listens actively, and has well-honed social skills.
A few excerpts from his personality test:
- When I buy a new machine (like a camera, computer or car), I want to know all of its technical features
- I am very sensitive to people's feelings and needs
- I have a vivid imagination
His 12 interests
in his own words...
I am a man of small needs. Looking for a sweet fun loving woman who takes great care of herself and who would insist I did the same. I am not a game player and have serious intentions of eventually settlling down again with the "one that got away"! I regard mysef as having an incredible sense of humor (sometimes sarcastic), and can joke and have fun all day long, except in the working environment, which is where I change caps to serious whilst maintaining a cool dege. I love listening to music, Classic Rock is my favorite and I have a performer who is world class that I can listen to all day everyday.....I guess you could call my old fashioned with a difference. It's probably too unrealistic to get a 100% match either way. With that said, a relationship built on solid trust, respect and dignity will go all the way. Along this amazing journey comes sacrifice and hard compromises, and that is true love! Yes it is definitely possible and the quest must go on until these traits are found. I firmly believe the right person is out there for everyone but a little luck goes a long way. I also believe in fait and what's meant to be will be. In a relationship I give 110% and expect my other half will do the same. It's a partnership that makes all the difference in the world that will deliver true happiness and long lasting love!!!!! Yes............................it's entirely possible!

Last week we celebrated our second anniversary of becoming consumer debt free. It was an intentional plan that started back in the summer of 2010 and fifty months later we had accomplished paying off $109,000 worth of debt.
The journey started years earlier when my wife and I got married and started a family. We never really had a plan for our money, overspending over the years to get to that point. We didn't communicate often about money, other than to say what credit card to use to pay for something we didn't have the money for. We had five credit cards at one point, juggling minimum payments until they became too much to handle even with a six figure income.
It was at that point we knew we had to make a change. We began to educate ourselves about all things personal finance, built a plan and dug in. We involved our three children and kept our eye on the end goal of being debt free.
With two years under our belts, being debt free is even sweeter than I ever imagined. Stress has been reduced in our lives, the money fights don't occur often, and we are better prepared to handle what life throws at us. I say "we" because it has truly been a family effort. I think the thing I'm most excited about is the head start our three teenage children will have with personal finance knowledge. I can't wait to see what they will do with it.

To retain talent, organizations must ensure that their workforce's compensation is comparable to that of their industry peers. As part of this effort, they should integrate compensation reviews with goal and performance reviews to ensure employees are paid their fair market value; otherwise the best talent will become a flight risk. Many organizations understand this; in our performance management for talent management benchmark research, two-thirds said they want to integrate compensation with the review process. But most companies have more to do; they need to establish a continuous process that compares all information on new hires, promotions and market events, at least as part of an annual performance review or preferably every quarter. They should not delay change until employee feedback or exit interviews indicate that being underpaid is a primary reason for people leaving.

The new test center in Brande features test stands for major components of Siemens wind turbines, including generators, main bearings and complete nacelles. In Aalborg, seven blade test stands are capable to perform full scale tests of rotor blades, including the worldŌĆÖs largest blade in operation with a length of 75 meters. In combination, the two facilities form the worldŌĆÖs
largest R&D test center for wind turbine technology. ŌĆ£Our investments in testing today will result in savings for our customers tomorrowŌĆØ; says Felix Ferlemann, CEO of the Siemens Wind Power Division in Siemens Energy. ŌĆ£With our extensive tests of all major components of a wind turbine we can significantly reduce the risk of technical issues in the field. Our continued commitment to R&D and testing enables us to deliver wind turbines that are both the most innovative and the most reliable at the same time.ŌĆØ
The two test centers in Denmark feature indoor testing facilities of more than 27,000 square meters. The nacelle test stands in Brande are among the most┬Ā advanced in the industry. They are capable of testing SiemensŌĆÖ D6 direct drive platform, the companyŌĆÖs largest current wind turbines with a six megawatt rated┬Ā capacity, and are prepared to test even larger turbines.
The seven blade test stands in Aalborg and three blade tests stands in Brande together form the largest blade test facility in the world both in size and in scope. The Aalborg facilities are able not only to fully test SiemensŌĆÖ 75-meter long B75 blade, the largest wind turbine blade in operation, but also even larger blades. Wind turbine blades are now bigger than any other composite structure in the world. For example, the wing of an Airbus 380 is less than half as long as the B75 blade.
In its new test facilities, Siemens can perform Highly Accelerated Lifetime Tests (HALT) on all major components of its direct drive and geared wind turbine plat-forms. In HALT testing programs, which can last to up to six months, Siemens ex-poses prototypes to much higher loads than they would normally experience over the course their full life-time in the field.
ŌĆ£In HALT tests, we compress the biggest loads over a short time, as they affect the turbine the mostŌĆØ, says Siemens Wind Power CEO Ferlemann. During the HALT test of blades, for example, full-scale prototypes are oscillated at larger deflections than they would ever experience on site for 2 million cycles vertically and then for another 2 million cycles horizontally.
2013 marks the 25th anniversary of Siemens Wind PowerŌĆÖs Test and Measurement Department. In 1988, the company was the first in the wind industry to establish an in-house Test and Measurement Department capable of the full range of field meas-urements required by modern wind turbine development and verification. ŌĆ£Innovation requires validation to be employed successfullyŌĆØ, says Ferlemann. ŌĆ£Siemens is the company with the greatest experience in testing and making field measurements in the wind industryŌĆØ.
