The Atherton affair lasted all week, and the echoes will reverberate far longer. When the captain of the England cricket team was accused of being a cheat and a liar, and the evidence was available for television replay, suddenly everybody had an opinion. And, for a while, they seemed unanimous.
'Go]' said a Times leader.
'Go]' said the BBC's cricket correspondent, with the authority expected of a former Test player.
'Go]' said an intense young publisher in a fashionable west London restaurant.
'Go]' said an elderly lady in North Yorkshire, to whom cricket was a matter of blood and honour.
'Go]' was what Michael Atherton was told by young and old, black, brown and beige, aficionado and ignoramus alike. In England, hundreds of thousands of words were written and probably millions of conversations were held, fuelled by the national appetite for instant aggro, instant villains - 'Gotcha]' 'Up Yours Delors]' 'Turnip]' 'Pakistani Test Shame]' For Radio 5 Live, it justified the new Babel of sports phone-ins. In the other cricketing corners of the world, notably Pakistan, interest was just as keen - for here, perhaps, was the final humiliation, the payback for generations of colonial arrogance.
And it couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow.
OF COURSE, people said with a nod and a wink, he's no choirboy. But they didn't really mean it.
A year ago this weekend England entered the Atherton era. That was how it seemed when he turned up for his first selection committee meeting, succeeding the defeated and dispirited Graham Gooch. Atherton, then a fresh-faced 25 to Gooch's careworn 40, stood for old values and new thinking. England - who as recently as 1988 had employed four captains in a single calamitous series - gave the impression of having made, for once, an imaginative long-term decision.
And for a year, it worked. The results improved almost immediately. Atherton won a consolation Test match against the Australians at The Oval, and then another, against West Indies at Bridgetown, albeit with the rubber already lost. And he managed to win a series, against New Zealand - not entirely convincingly, perhaps, but the curve was certainly pointing upwards. Morale was higher, to the extent that it could survive incidents like the dismissal of the entire team for a total of 46 runs in Port of Spain. The captain established sound working relationships with his team manager, Keith Fletcher, and his chairman of selectors, Ray Illingworth. Together they brought back some old faithfuls for reconsideration, but in general their choices pointed to the future, as Atherton had promised they would. His own batting gained in strength and conviction: now he could also lead by example, never more than when, at Sabina Park, he faced up to a barrage with conspicuous courage.
On tour in the Caribbean, Atherton could be seen at his best. Touring parties inevitably devolve into cliques, and Atherton's skill was to permit this to happen, to allow his men the right to self-
expression, while binding the whole group together by ensuring that no section or individual became marginalised (as he himself had been on Gooch's trip to India the previous winter). He shared himself around, drinking with the roisterers one night and with the quiet bunch the next. A Cambridge graduate with a Lancashire accent, he could mix with the blazers and the lads alike. He knew when to join in, and how to remove himself without seeming aloof. This, at last, was the captain for whom England had been searching.
THEN, last Sunday, he seemed to come undone. In the course of an agonising 23-minute press conference at Lord's, cornered on the subject of whether or not he had tampered with the ball during the afternoon session of the third day's play against South Africa, Atherton - still half-traumatised by the most savage defeat of his career as England captain - veered from openness to evasion, from mild contrition to a barely suppressed petulance, from ill-judged attempts at humour to the occasional attempt to make it appear that nothing unusual was happening.
After seeing the television replays of what Peter Burge, the match referee, indelibly referred to as 'unfamiliar actions', Atherton had realised that he owed the world an explanation. But, somewhere along the way, he lost the courage that had enabled him to confront Benjamin and Walsh. What we heard was a defence that dealt with some questions but left others screaming for answers.
He may have been telling the truth when he claimed not to have been using dirt in his pocket to tamper with the ball, and in that he was certainly supported by the judgement of the referee and the umpires that the ball's condition had not been unduly altered during Saturday's afternoon session. But the first of his damning evasions came in this exchange:
Q: 'Michael, the footage seemed to show that when your hands came out of your pocket, presumably now dry, you then started to work on the ball.'
A: 'Absolutely not. I did not alter the condition of the ball at all. The dirt was there solely to keep the sweat on my fingers and my hands off the ball.'
Q: 'But your fingers were on the ball. What were you doing?'
A: 'Well, of course they were. That's the whole point of having the dirt on the fingers, so that the sweat doesn't get on the ball.'
Q: 'So what were you doing when you were rubbing the ball?'
A: 'I wasn't rubbing the ball. I polished the shiny side and kept the sweat off the dry side.'
The TV pictures showed him removing his right hand from his pocket, putting his fingertips to the ball, and rubbing one side of it with a purposeful action that seemed to leave no doubt that he had carried something from his pocket to the ball. The fact that he rubbed the ball on its rough side - we knew this because we could see him turning it in his hand before polishing the smooth side on his flannels - was beyond challenge. But he chose to dispute the evidence of our eyes, merely adding to the growing impression that something was not quite straight.
The technical minutiae of ball- tampering preoccupied the sports pages, but the question of the England cricket captain's truthfulness rang a more general alarm. The key moment came when he tetchily deflected questions about his conversation with the referee.
Q: 'Did Mr Burge at any stage ask you if you had anything in your pocket?'
A: 'The conversations between myself and Mr Burge shall remain that way.'
Q: 'It's a pretty straightforward question, though.'
A: 'And I've just given you a pretty straightforward answer.'
Even his admirers found it hard to stomach his transparent attempt to use a quasi-legal formality - the pretence that a conversation between a cricketer and a match official enjoyed some sort of privileged status - to avoid incriminating himself.
The referee's own statement, released on Monday, did nothing to clarify the matter. Pakistanis in particular, still smarting from the various ball-tampering accusations of recent years, were outraged by his refusal to impose a separate punishment. Burge's acceptance of Illingworth's pre-emptive pounds 2,000 fine as sufficient sanction appeared to them an endorsement of one law for the white and another for the brown. Not at all the sort of thing, in fact, that one had expected from the Atherton era.
IT HAD taken him 23 minutes on Sunday to work himself deeper into the hole; five days later it took him exactly twice as long to dig himself most of the way out, when he convened another press conference on his home ground at Old Trafford, hoping to clear the air before the second Test.
Clearly in a more settled frame of mind after a few days on the run with his girlfriend in the Lake District, he began by issuing a new and slightly fuller written statement. Then, as he knew it would, came the real inquisition, and so forensic was the mood that there were times during the 45 minutes when Perry Mason and George Carman QC would have come in useful as Atherton and his chief interrogator, the BBC's Jonathan Agnew, tied themselves in knots over the question of whether dirt had come out of the pocket on to the fingers, whether that dirt had been transferred to the surface of the ball, and what degree of intent had been involved in those actions.
He stumbled a few times, over little things that loomed large.
Q: 'On Sunday you denied rubbing the ball in any way.'
A: 'I didn't deny it.'
Q: 'You did.'
A: 'I didn't'
Q: 'I have a clear recollection that you denied rubbing the ball in any way.'
A: 'The TV evidence clearly shows that my hand came out of my pocket, and my hand was on the rough side of the ball. The TV evidence is clear on that. It's clear that dust falls off the ball. I'm hardly going to deny something that's totally clear . . .'
Q: 'But on Sunday you were specifically asked that question and you denied it.'
A: 'Well, all I can say is that I've not denied it.'
But, as we knew, he had denied it, perhaps in the heat and confusion of the worst moment of his young life. And now, ostensibly calmer but probably still in some kind of deep torment, he was denying the denial.
Yet if this was not to be a entirely satisfactory recantation, then at least one of the big questions was dismissed early on.
Q: 'Why didn't you tell the truth straight away?'
A: 'That's been my biggest regret all week. I should have come clean and told Peter Burge straight away about the dirt in my pocket. I did take my trousers in - they were open to inspection the whole time. He asked me if I had resin in my pocket, and I said no. Then he asked me did I have any other substance in my pocket. I replied no. That's where I made my mistake. I was thinking of other substances, such as Vaseline, Lipsyl, iron filings . . . I confirmed that there was absolutely no artificial substance in there.'
In his written statement, he added this significant sentence: 'Thinking back to that meeting, I gave my response without considering the consequences and believing that I had done nothing improper, but not wishing to raise any suspicions about my actions.'
In other words, he crossed his fingers behind his back when he said 'no'. A sort of an off-white lie, now admitted and exposed. And, perhaps, to be forgiven - at least by those who are still capable of taking into account such factors as character, previous behaviour and extenuating circumstances.
A week ago, one reporter suggested to him, he had enjoyed universal support. Did he think he could ever regain that position? 'It's an enviable position to have,' he replied. 'It's not many times that an England captain could say that he had full official and public support, with no threat to his job. That's certainly not the case now, and it's my fault.'
When asked if he thought that the stigma of this affair would last for the rest of his career, his reply was unhesitating. 'I think there are going to be suspicions that linger on,' he said, very quietly. 'People will either believe me or they won't. I'm totally clear as to what my intentions were. Hopefully, if we can put together some good performances, this kind of thing may die down. But everybody's got to be remembered for something, and I suppose this will be my epitaph.'
IT'S CLEAR now, after all this cross-questioning, that he believes himself innocent of any serious wrongdoing, even if in his heart of hearts he may feel that he hasn't been very clever.
Cricket is the hardest of games to legislate, since its meaning, its beauty and its claim to uniqueness are to be found in its infinite variety. Unlike baseball, in which the ball is changed literally dozens of times during the game in order to ensure that each delivery is projected according to the same ballistic parameters, cricket demands from its players an ability to act according to variables: how will this ball deviate in these atmospheric conditions, or on this strip of grass at that time of day? These decisions can take micro-seconds, or days, in conditions that change hour by hour. All this enriches the game by putting a premium on knowledge, experience, nerve and cunning. And it makes cricket a particularly hard game for the legislators, since any two apparently similar actions are seldom truly identical.
No wonder, then, that Law 42.5 is so hard to pin down: '. . . or take any other action to alter the condition of the ball . . .' Now what exactly does 'alter' mean, when you really try to test it? If you were to take action to maintain the condition of the ball in a steady state, would you not in effect be 'altering' the natural course of events, ie the ball's deterioration? And what is an 'artificial substance', anyway? Is dust artificial? If it isn't (as seems likely), and if 42.5 doesn't allow you to rub the ball in the dust on the ground, may you rub it with dust kept in your pocket? Last week, two centuries of custom and practice and law-making in the world's most cerebral outdoor game proved of little help.
My own judgement is that Atherton used the earth from his pocket to dust one side of the ball, drying the sweat marks and maintaining the matt finish rather than abrading the leather (which would have required far more emphatic and persistent rubbing, perhaps with something more like those mysterious 'iron filings' to which he referred). Insofar as that seems to have been the primary function of the dust, at least on the two occasions the camera caught him, I continue to doubt the detail of his explanation. But I also believe - and here is the crux of the trial of Michael Atherton - that the captain of England was not seeking to gain an unfair advantage, and that his offence was a misdemeanour rather than a felony.
Beneath all this lies the true reason why the affair occupied so many thoughts last week. Cricket, wherever it is played, presents a lesson in social behaviour and a constant test of integrity, its imprecise laws demanding honesty and goodwill from its players. Children who learn its codes are the better for their knowledge, even if they never play the actual game again. So when people suggest, as they do, that we should start treating cricketers like tennis-players or footballers, and stop burdening them with unreasonable moral demands, we know that such an apparently logical change would cost us something worth preserving.
Anyone can have moral principles; it is the ability to act according to them that constitutes integrity. When Michael Atherton appeared to run short of that ability last week, he did so under the harshest scrutiny. As a cricketer, that is his burden, and his privilege. Now perhaps those in authority will see a chance to extend cricket's moral range by testing the proposition that one mistake can be the making, rather than the breaking, of a man. That would not close the matter; but perhaps, at least for the time being, it is anyway better left open.

USING COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF BINAURAL HEARING TO IMPROVE AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION: Promise, Progress, and Problems Richard Stern Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213 Telephone: (412) 268-2535; FAX: (412) 268-3890 Email: email@example.com; http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~rms AFOSR Workshop on Computational Audition August 9, 2002
Carnegie Mellon Slide 2ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Introduction - using binaural processing to improve speech recognition accuracy We're doing better than I expected but there is still a lot to be done Talk outline …. –Briefly review some relevant binaural phenomena –Talk briefly about "classical" modeling approaches –Discuss some specific implementations of binaural processors that are particularly relevant to automatic speech recognition (ASR) –Comment a bit on results and future prospects
Carnegie Mellon Slide 3ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group I'll focus on … Studies that –are based on the binaural temporal representation and are –applied in a meaningful fashion to automatic speech recognition Will not consider … –Other types of multiple microphone processing »Fixed and adaptive beamforming »Noise cancellation using adaptive arrays –Applications to source localization and separation –Applications to hearing impaired –Other ASR application using other approaches (like sub-band coherence-based enhancement)
Carnegie Mellon Slide 4ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group How can two (or more) ears help us? The binaural system can focus attention on a single speaker in a complex acoustic scene
Carnegie Mellon Slide 5ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Another big binaural advantage … The binaural system can suppress reflected components of sound in a reverberant environment
Carnegie Mellon Slide 6ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Primary binaural phenomena Interaural time delays (ITDs) Interaural intensity differences (IIDs)
Carnegie Mellon Slide 7ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group The classical model of binaural processing (Colburn and Durlach 1978)
Carnegie Mellon Slide 8ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Jeffress's model of ITD extraction (1948)
Carnegie Mellon Slide 9ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Response to a 500-Hz tone with –1500- s ITD
Carnegie Mellon Slide 10ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Response to 500-Hz noise with –1500- s ITD
Carnegie Mellon Slide 11ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Other important binaural phenomena Binaural "sluggishness" –Temporal integration "blurs" effects of running time Information from head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) –Impetus for significant work in externalization and virtual environments –Also enables analysis of relationships between ITDs and IIDs The precedence effect –First-arriving wavefront has greatest impact on localization Secondary "slipped-cycle" effects and "straightness weighting" –Localization mechanisms also responsive to consistency over frequency
Carnegie Mellon Slide 12ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Some of the groups involved Pittsburgh - Stern, Sullivan, Palm, Raj, Seltzer et al. Bochum - Blauert, Lindemann, Gaik, Bodden et al. Oldenburg - Kollmeier, Peissig, Kleinschmidt, Schortz et al. Dayton - Anderson, DeSimio, Francis Sheffield - Green, Cooke, Brown, (and Ellis, Wang, Roman) et al.
Carnegie Mellon Slide 13ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Typical elements of binaural models for ASR Peripheral processing –HRTFs or explicit extraction of ITDs and IIDs vs. frequency band Model of auditory transduction –Prosaic (BPF, rectification, nonlinear compression) or AIM Interaural timing comparison –Direct (cross-correlation,stereoausis, etc.) or enhanced for precedence (a la Lindemann) Time-intensity interaction –Use of interaural intensity information to reinforce/vitiate temporal information (e.g. Gaik, Peissig) Possible restoration of "missing" features Feature extraction of enhanced display Decision making (Bayesian or using neural networks)
Carnegie Mellon Slide 14ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Some (old) work from CMU: correlation-based ASR motivated by binaural hearing
Carnegie Mellon Slide 15ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group The good news: vowel representations improved by correlation processing Reconstructed features of vowel /a/ But the bad news is that error rates in real environments go down only a smalll amount, with a lot more processing Two inputs zero delay Two inputs 120- s delay Eight inputs 120- s delay
Carnegie Mellon Slide 16ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group The Lindemann model to accomplish the precedence effect Blauert cross-correlation Lindemann inhibition
Carnegie Mellon Slide 17ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Sharpening effect of Lindemann inhibition Comment: Also observe precedence phenomena (as expected) and a natural time-intensity trade.
Carnegie Mellon Slide 18ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Other techniques use by the Bochum group Gaik –Collected statistics of ITDs and IIDs of signals through HFTF filters –Used statistics to estimate joint pdf of ITD and IID, conditioned on source location Bodden –Detected source location and implemented source separation algorithm by differentially weighting different frequency bands Comment: Oldenburg group has developed a similar model (that differs in many details), but without the Lindemann inhibition
Carnegie Mellon Slide 19ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Missing-feature recognition General approach: –Determine which cells of a spectrogram-like display are unreliable (or "missing") –Ignore missing features or make best guess about their values based on data that are present
Carnegie Mellon Slide 20ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Original speech spectrogram
Carnegie Mellon Slide 21ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Spectrogram corrupted by white noise at SNR 15 dB Some regions are affected far more than others
Carnegie Mellon Slide 22ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Ignoring regions in the spectrogram that are corrupted by noise All regions with SNR less than 0 dB deemed missing (dark blue) Recognition performed based on colored regions alone
Carnegie Mellon Slide 23ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Recognition accuracy using compensated cepstra, speech corrupted by white noise Large improvements in recognition accuracy can be obtained by reconstruction of corrupted regions of noisy speech spectrograms Knowledge of locations of "missing" features needed SNR (dB) Accuracy (%) Cluster Based Recon. Temporal Correlations Spectral Subtraction Baseline
Carnegie Mellon Slide 24ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Recognition accuracy using compensated cepstra, speech corrupted by music Recognition accuracy goes up from 7% to 69% at 0 dB with cluster based reconstruction SNR (dB) Accuracy (%) Cluster Based Recon. Temporal Correlations Spectral Subtraction Baseline
Carnegie Mellon Slide 25ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Latest system from the Oldenburg group Peripheral processing: –Gammatone filters –Envelope extraction, lowpass filtering –Nonlinear temporal adaptation –Lowpass filtering Binaural processing: –Direct running cross-correlation (no inhibition) –Learning of corresponding ITD, IID using a neural network –Feature extraction from representation in "look direction"
Carnegie Mellon Slide 26ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Sample results from the Oldenburg group (Kleinschmidt et al. 2001) Anechoic environment: "Moderate" reverberation: Comment: System performs worse in reverberation
Carnegie Mellon Slide 27ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Some systems developed by the Dayton group Binaural Auditory Image Model (BAIM): –HRTFs –Auditory image model (AIM) –Cross-correlation with and without Lindemann inhibition –ITD/IID comparison using Kohonon self-organizing feature map Cocktail-party Processor (1995): –HRTFs –Conventional peripheral processing with Kates model –Cross-correlation with Lindemann inhibition [BAIM worked somewhat better for most conditions]
Carnegie Mellon Slide 28ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Some comments, kudos, and concerns … Be very skeptical with results obtained using artificially added signals and noise! Nevertheless some progress has definitely been made. –Digitally adding noise almost invariably inflates performance –Use of room image models to simulate reverberant room acoustics may be more reasonable Lots of information is being ignored in many current models –Synchrony info a la Seneff, Ghitza; –Complex timbre information as suggested by Lyon, Slaney? The Lindemann model may not be the best way to capture precedence Missing feature approaches should be very promising Too much computational modeling and not enough insight into fundamental processes
Carnegie Mellon Slide 29ECE and SCS Robust Speech Group Summary Binaural processing has the ability (in principle) to improve speech recognition accuracy by providing spatial filtering and by combating the effects of room reverberation. Current systems are realizing some gains but are just now beginning to realize that promise. Faster and more efficient computation will be a real spur for research in this area over the next five years.

At-sea seabird monitoring
Southern California
We conduct at-sea seabird monitoring seasonally on the CalCOFI cruise in the Southern California Bight. For each cruise, a seabird observer is stationed on the bridge of the ship and records the number and species of birds seen from the ship. The data software records the geographic position of the ship for each seabird observation. Initiated by other agencies, Farallon Institute has done the monitoring since 2008, and time series extend back to 1993.
Central California
We also conduct at-sea seabird monitoring annually on the NOAA juvenile rockfish cruise off the central California coast. Time series extend back to 1996, and FI observers have done the monitoring since 2008. Survey methods are the same as for the Southern California monitoring.

It was most satisfactory, and I intend to use it for short exposures, and mounting small accessories. (Posted on Jan 17, 2016)
It is suggested to use specific threaded screw points on the base plate for the C11 and for the C14. Since my CPC is alt-az I was delighted that the fitting was specificallly designed so it could be easily adjusted so that it was totally horizontal. (I put a level on it when I was fitting it.) Not only are there generous slots on the base plate for adjustment, but the unit itself has a short slots on the mounting. The only extra adjustment in this process was the need to do a few tweaks after tensioning the unit, because this resulted in a slight shift of the angle. - no problem.
For a more complete description of the unit, please refer my previous post.
And yes, for those sages who ask why install the mount because I will have a rotating field on a tracking alt-az telescope, I just mention that the fitting will be very handy for short exposures, either wide angle or telephoto, (when such rotation does not become evident) and the mounting of small accessories.
(Posted on Jan 15, 2016)
Pros: light, price, portability
Instructions were excellent and fitting was a breeze.
The unit is larger and more solid than I thought from the illustration. Also it is larger than it would appear from the side-on illustration. It provides a rubberised pad 6 X 7.5cm to mount the camera. On the C9.25 there is just under 3cm clear to operate the tightening screw underneath - quite okay, but I noticed that when unscrewed the head of this screw rests on the rounded head of one of the screws at the back of the scope. No problem and it does not interfere with its operation or require any padding to the mount so as to clear it.
Whether the unit is a heavy plastic or metallic is a bit uncertain but it is lightweight and solid. On scopes up to the C9.25 the mounting uses the screwing points that you would use if you mounted your finder on the other side. C11 and C14 requires the supplied the special base plate to which the unit is in turn mounted.
Clearly the unit is designed for a camera and I dare say it would comfortably take all the DSLR's with up to medium telephotos. It would probably also accommodate reasonably lightweight accessories. (Posted on Dec 15, 2015)
Pros: light, easy to carry, price, portability
My only qualm is that being all-plastic construction, it may not be strong and stiff enough for a DSLR with a long / heavy telephoto, or a moderately sized auxiliary telescope (such as a 90 mm Mak or similar). (Posted on Jun 04, 2015)
good quality genuine celestron product. (Posted on May 14, 2015)
Pros: price, Accurate, user friendly, Good price, Cheap
Simple Piggyback Mount screws included.
Can be adapted to other scopes. Curved so you can use on several scopes.

Vehicle Shipping Services
It is suggested that in addition to receiving a condition report file from your automobile mover detailing any pre-existing damage to your automobile, that you take pictures of the car, date the images, and attach them to the condition report offered by the vehicle mover for your records. You should have a in-depth description of the condition of your automobile prior to shipping. The condition report or other file utilized by the automobile mover need to include existing mileage, pre-existing damage of any type including as glass, scratches, paint, dents, and so on. This report is essential in case any disputes develop.
Cheapest way Ship a Vehicle to Danbury WI
Automobile transportation companies provide great prices and excellent services to get your vehicle shipped to your brand-new location. They are just one choice to select from when your go to move your vehicle. There are numerous other transport options offered to you.
One of the automobile transport alternatives are self transport. This is where you rent a trailer to move your automobile all on your own. You will have to have the time available to do this. And it could be pricey depending upon the range of your destination. If you select in this manner of cars and truck transport make certain you can maneuver the trailer alright. This is a good way to carry your car if you like driving. Train transportation is another option for shipping your automobile. Your cars and truck can be shipped on a train and then you can take a trip with it on the train. The train will accept cars such as automobiles, motorcycles and vans. These are just a couple options that are available to you.
Vehicle Transportation Rates in WI
Repel service is another choice. You could work with someone to drive your vehicle to its location for you. You must find a trustworthy individual that you understand and depend drive your cars and truck. By doing this you will not be fretted about the safety of your lorry. Or you can choose from a variety of vehicle transportation business to deliver your vehicle to its location. Car transport business offer open and closed trailers to ship your vehicle. Open transportation is cheaper in cost than enclosed transportation.
Although your vehicle is out in the open and is exposed to the weather condition and roadway particles. And with open transportation your car might take a number of days or more to obtain to your destination. Confined trailers for delivering your cars and truck do not expose your vehicle to the weather condition. This is good method to deliver your car because it is safe and safe, but it can also be more expensive. Some moving companies offer to ship your automobile together with your home items.
How to ship a vehicle from WI
The majority of all automobile transportation companies will offer estimate to their consumers. People typically get numerous quotes from various companies and after that compare them to decide which one will be the least expensive and still give them the service that they will need. The web is a good location to obtain price quotes for vehicle transport companies. There are lots of companies on the internet that you can compare quotes with. When people get price quotes from car transport companies these are some of the issues that they might come across.
Cheapest Vehicle Ship Companies
These vehicles are normally delivered in an confined trailer to keep them from getting weather condition elements and roadway particles on them during the shipment. Also these vehicles are more safe and secure and safe in an confined trailer then an open trailer. Another thing that is identified in the quote is the operating condition of your car and how it runs. Some people might want to deliver a automobile that is no longer in operation and will require extra labor to push it up on the truck carrier.
This kind of thing will more than likely change your price quote if this takes place. Make certain the vehicle transportation business knows if your vehicle is not running or has mechanical issues.
How do I Transport a Ship by train Wisconsin
When picking a vehicle shipping company, ask in writing, when precisely your cars and truck will depart when it will get here. My last experience was bad. My automobile relaxed awaiting other automobiles to go to the very same nation. It took an additional 4 months for my car to even leave port, let alone reach its location.
It is very important to validate the arrival date too. You will likely have to pay some custom-mades charges to get your incoming car. Be sure to have the original title with you along with the initial costs of landing when you wish to declare your vehicle. The cars and truck shipping company should be able to provide you with an specific date of arrival for your lorry.
What is an auto transport?
Likewise the size and weight of your automobile will be thought about when shipping your lorry through a cars and truck transportation company. If you are having a larger automobile delivered then the shipping charges could cost more then if you are shipping a small automobile. These charges will all be determined by the vehicle transportation business that you choose to utilize. Extra insurance protection may need to be considered on timeless and unique vehicles if you are having these types of vehicles delivered by the vehicle shipping company. This will provide additional insurance security.
How much does it cost to transport a Vehicle to Wisconsin?
Have you ever purchased a vehicle in one state and needed delivered simply on the other side of the nation? Or possibly, have your vehicle sent to your ex-wife, who happens to live in Canada? Or, why not, bought your automobile online, from San Francisco and need it in New york city? I make sure that, if this hasn't occurred yet, it will most likely occur sooner or later. So here are a few suggestions in transporting your car within U.S.A, or in between USA and Canada, no matter the distance.

'The Heguys play what I call Test match polo,' Maj Gen Bernard Gordon Lennox, Guards Polo Club chairman, remarked admiringly as the pair dominated for their team, Labegorce, in a 13-5 Queen's Cup defeat of Canada's Fish Creek. 'They show polo's appeal - all the excitement of a skilled ball game and with galloping too. It's the best sport in the world.' Arguable, but decide for yourself: the Queen's Cup tournament continues until 5 June.
FROM Guards to The Oval. New Zealand cricket followers clearly know their sports. When a youth in a Crystal Palace shirt obscured views at Surrey's HQ recently, the young Eagle was regaled with Kiwi cries of 'Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo', a wicked reference to Palace's down-and-up lifestyle.
CIM BOM BOM, a colt who made a disappointing debut in yesterday's 4.10 at Hamilton, possesses one of the more unusual monikers in racing but one unlikely to please Manchester United fans. Cim Bom Bom is Galatasaray's victory chant. The nag was named by his Turkish owner, Yucel Birol, to wind up his trainer. 'He knew I supported a Manchester-based football team,' Michael Bell explained. 'The joke backfired, though, because I'm a City fan and it was too late to change the name]' Rumours that Birol will call his next steed Peter Swales are unfounded.
APART from Philip Don, whose sterling performance in the European Cup final presented further proof to Fifa that he could officiate the World Cup final, another familiar British name contributed to the classic in Athens. The biggest, most beautifully printed banner, twice the size of an average house, lauded a great Scot from the early Eighties . . . 'MILAN CLUB JOE JORDAN'.
BOBBY GEORGE and his arrow- throwing comrades are riding to John Major's aid. George, and the British Darts Organisation, are convinced that their sport, for so long maligned as an intellectual backwater, can help the Government's new National Curriculum become more accessible to schoolchildren. Darts, after all, demands a quick mind for adding and subtracting. George will be on the oche on BBC tomorrow to prove his point (a safety-conscious, soft- tipped one), while the BDO's general secretary, Olly Croft, has already contacted John Patten, the Education Minister. The nation's schoolchildren wait hopefully.
WANDSWORTH's lead in the British Australian Rules Football League, an ascendancy threatened by Birmingham Crows at an all-barbie gathering in south London tomorrow, stems partly from the Demons' cunning recruitment plan. To lure top Australians, Wandsworth's players carry club business cards to hand out to promising-looking young bucks in pubs. Any member returning to Oz is also given cards - to catch potential signings before they even head to England.

Reflexology seemed to work!

Just want to let you all know, that after an hour of reflexology massage on the feet, my condition has greatly improved. The pain and discomfort is much less, as of now at least. I don't know whether it will last, but I will try a series of sessions over the next few weeks and then let you know what it did and if the results lasted.
Re: Reflexology seemed to work!

Another type of massage and I hope it continues to work well for you.
Please keep us posted. I know we all wish you continued success with this treatment.

How to Win at Office Politics: John McKeeJohn McKee
Office politics can have a strong upside. It's just another way of moving ahead in your career. Let's take meetings. Be prepared to be the first out with a comment. Sometimes that seems risky. And it can be if you're an idiot. But if you really have something to say, get recognized for it.

Normally, when I hear people talk about work culture, they talk about friends and perks. I mean it's pretty sexy for people to talk about Google's free sushi, laundry, and company bikes. And of course, there are companies like Method where Ping Pong tournaments are encouraged.
Since I work remotely, things like ping pong tables, office snacks, and free coffee have no pull on me. And now that I'm married with a kid, a work culture where socializing outside of work is expected is an active detractor to me. On a side note, Wednesday's Wall Street Journal even had an interesting article discussed how great work cultures can crimp employee's personal life.
All this being said, I still consider work culture to be one a top priority during my working years. After all, I spend 8-10 hours per day working, so I better enjoy the culture that I'm working in.
What I want in my working culture
From reading this book, I realize that the culture that I'm looking for boils down to two points. I want to have at least one colleague whom I consider a friend, and I want to be actively engaged in my work (that's the point that the book emphasizes).
Seriously, that's all I'm looking for in my work culture. I think that culture looks like people being interested in solving problems together, and for me in particular, it looks like having support to take risks.Those are the things that make me happy at work. This is an interesting Ted Talk that helps support my point of view.
The question I then posed to myself is what do I require of my work culture to be happy at work? Unfortunately, the way that I set up my cultural requirements, I unintentionally put the put the cultural onus on myself. How could my manager possibly cause me to actively engage in my work? Active engagement assumes that I own it. How can my manager possibly make sure that I have a friend- that would be just all kinds of weird.
My thought process led me to the conclusion that how I engage an existing people, ideas, processes, etc. defines my work culture and my happiness. This is opposite of the idea that the work culture can bring me happiness.
However, I talked about this with a few friends at work and they disagreed with me. They universally agreed that the culture has a profound impact on their ability to engage it. They wanted a culture where their work was valued (not just well compensated), and a culture where certain things were valued more than other certain things, and where so and so would stop emailing them and micro-managing. They also mentioned that they wouldn't mind free coffee and soda.
So inquiring minds want to know, what do you want in your work culture? What do you value and what's extraneous? And if possible, how much of a pay bump would be required to get you to choose a worse workplace culture than your current situation, and how much of a cut would you take for a better one?

In the News
April 9, 2016 — CollegeScope™, a unique new student success product from Human eSources, was named winner of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Annual Convention Exhibitor Innovation Award for College Readiness.
AACC is the primary advocacy organization, and is considered the "voice", of community colleges.
"I'm very pleased that CollegeScope received recognition for its innovation," said Ross Dickie, president and chief operating officer of Human eSources. "The self-awareness assessments fully integrated with CollegeScope give students a uniquely personalized experience as they work through the online chapters. And our recent Blackboard and Canvas learning management system (LMS) integrations allow faculty to save time and manage students in one convenient location."
CollegeScope, a first-year experience online textbook, was chosen by an AACC committee for the college readiness category because of its ability to help improve student outcomes, assist in the successful completion of college entry-level courses and build students' persistence in their first year.
Within its nine chapters, CollegeScope integrates research-proven assessments for personality type, multiple intelligences and learning preferences, covering subjects relevant to success in school, work and life. Chapter content uses recognized pedagogy aligned to the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) learning outcomes and includes interactive activities, quizzes with instant feedback, educational videos, and journal entries for students to reflect on the content. CollegeScope builds proficiency in the use of technology while being easy to use and accessible to anyone with an internet-capable device, from smartphones to tablets to computers.
July 12, 2013 — We've been busy this season, updating our products and working on some exciting new enhancements. You'll notice a few changes when you return this fall. Here's what we've done to improve your Human eSources experience:
Do What You Are®
- Reduced length and improved reliability. The number of questions in Do What You Are has been reduced, making it quicker to complete. The wording has also been simplified and made more concise, improving reliability and making the assessment even more accessible to students.
- Instant job search. Simply Hired's search has been integrated with the career list, allowing students to find jobs in their locale that match their career results.
The Learning Style Inventory
- Honesty audit. An improved consistency checker in the Learning Style Inventory encourages students to provide well-considered, truthful responses, ensuring they receive valid results.
MI Advantage™
- Quicker completion and greater reliability. The number of questions in MI Advantage has been reduced and a more effective range of responses has been introduced, making it faster to complete and providing more accurate results. We've also streamlined the wording to make it more manageable.
- Instant job search. Simply Hired's search has been integrated with the career list, allowing students to find jobs in their locale that match their career results.
We've also used psychometric analysis to refine Do What You Are, the Learning Style Inventory and MI Advantage, resulting in greater accuracy and more precise results in all three products.
October 1, 2012 — The Learning Style Inventory has been updated to make it faster, easier to understand and compare. See the list of changes here.

Villa Paparouna is hidden away off the Boikatika lane from Magazia to the Erimitis Cliffs and is within easy walking distance of both. It is set within extensive private grounds of which a considerable area has been beautifully landscaped to take advantage of the different levels the villa is situated in and the natural lines of rock that once formed the terraced gardens of the house. There are many colourful and interesting plants to be found.
The private grounds incorporate a 10 by 5 metre infinity pool surrounded by a stone terrace that offers breath taking views of the Cyprus forest overlooking the rugged West Coast down to the horseshoe bay of Ahai just above the famous blue caves. On clear days the southern islands of Lefkas and Cephalonia are visible.
EOT Certificate 0829K91000436901
The villa is built on two levels and has many areas to enjoy both sun and shade in privacy. The upstairs terrace leads out to a large partly–shaded terrace that has a flight of stone steps leading down to the pool. There is a large Pergola that has been built to provide both shade and tranquillity and offers a relaxing place to sit adjacent to both the pool and Barbeque area.

What a wonderful week we have had in gorgeous Paxos and the stunning villa.
Chris was so helpful from start to finish. Always answering questions and giving us so much information.
The villas was perfect. Gorgeous views, super swimming pool area and spacious inside. The maid came twice in the week which was fantastic too.
We hired a boat for one day which was a super day and great to see the whole island and gorgeous beaches.
The mountain taverna in Fontana was so delicious and such good value too.
Already wondering when we can book another week there!
Thanks so much to Chris. A truly memorable holiday.
Our party of six arrived at Villa Paparouna and were extremeley pleased with the Villa, facilities and location.
The villa is located on a quiet road away from everthing and has a pool that is cleaned reguarly. All the rooms are very spacious and have en-suite bathrooms that were larger than we expected. The kitchen is adequate and has a dishwasher. The view from the Villa is outstanding and in the evenings the BBQ can be used after buying fresh produce from Giaos.
The property was well maintained with excellent Wi-fi and all bedrooms were cleaned twice during our stay and towels changed.
There are several restaurants nearby with superb views and the local Erimitis beach which is a jewel to have so close to the Villa.
If you want a quiet getaway then this is the place.
Many thanks to Chris Wilkinson and all the people who look after Villa Paparouna for a most wounderful stay.
Daniel, Emma, Phil, Charlotte, Louise and Mahmoud.
Myself and my husband stayed in this beautiful Villa for a week.
The property was exceptionally clean and every aspect was maintained to a very high level from the villa itself to the wonderful gardens and the pool. There was a handy man available if any problems arose(which there wasn't) and a lady came to clean three times over our stay.
I also was very impressed with the attention to detail provided by the owners down to a hamper when we arrived with little necessities and treats to start our holiday, also instructions and directions concerning the location. The island itself is wonderful but I do recommend hiring a car so you can explore all the little beaches & Villages. The restaurants which impressed us most were Carnayo in Gaios & Bens Bar in Loggos(best octopus ever!!!).
There is no question I will be recommending this Villa to all my friends as it was more than I had hoped for
My family stayed at "Villa Paparouna" in Paxos in May of this year. We found it to be such a special place, very unspoiled and the accommodation was excellent. The Villa was very comfortable – a home from home-and had every facility you could want on this type of holiday. The pool was a great asset and spotless as was the Villa, lovely decor and gorgeous soft furnishings , plenty of bedroom and bathroom space and a very well equipped kitchen. We even had a barbecue one night as there is a barbecue area beside the pool. All in all it was a terrific experience and a beautiful place made all the more enjoyable by the great accommodation "Villa Paparouna". We will definitely be back.
Booking an independent Villa can sometimes come with a little risk. Fear not! Chris made our journey to probably the most beautiful Greek island trouble free from start to finish. The crossing from Corfu to paxos was very easy and having used the hydrofoil going and the ferry on the return , I agree with Chris that the ferry was the best mode of transport however it depends what timing fits in with your arrival or departure. Eating out featured very strongly in our holiday as I always planned to leave the pots and pans behind. Our favourite restaurant was just a short walk down the lane. Erimitis restaurant was the most atmospheric cliff top paradise with amazing sunsets and if you are lucky live classical music. We always booked ahead to guarantee the best seats in the house. We hired a boat for 5 days which was brilliant for getting around the island and visiting anti Paxos where the most beautiful view in the med is to be seen from the cliff top restaurant 200 steps later. Crystal clear water.. Many other wonderful eateries......
The villa was of a high spec and a nice retreat after a hard day walking or at the beach. A super sized pool for swimming, relaxing and ball games. Excellent maid service, so a true holiday, and help on hand when your daughter locks her keys to the annexe in her room, no trouble for Dimitri. To rescue them in time to get to the restaurant! Excellent all round and highly recommended.
We decided to upgrade our accommodation on our second trip to Paxos!This place didn't disappoint!Chris was extremely helpful with all our questions running up to our arrival regarding transfers from Corfu,car hire etc!
We would recommend this place to anyone and hope they enjoy it as much as we did!Sitting down by the pool with the BBQ going,drinking the local wine is definitely where we want to be right now...bliss!
Thankyou for a great stay!!We will be in touch for next summer!

Leading vehicle data service, hpi®, is offering diesel users peace of mind with the launch of its latest online valuations tool.
hpi® will now display future valuations for vehicle valuations completed online at hpivaluations.com making it easier than ever before to track the future values of any vehicle.
The new free to use future valuations service is in direct response to increasing negativity and bad publicity surrounding diesel vehicles and usage. Pressure is mounting on the government to introduce measures to remove the most polluting vans, taxis and cars from the roads, leaving owners of diesel vehicles concerned about the future values of their vehicles.
This is the first time car buyers and sellers have been presented with free future vehicle valuations. The service will be freely available for two months to help calm the fears of diesel vehicle owners. For cars under five years old future valuations up to five years in the future are provided.

Origin of the sport
The earliest form of tennis can be traced back to 12th and 13th century France and a game called 'jeu de paume.' However, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield is credited with publishing the first set of rules for the game of tennis that we know today in 1873. From there the game quickly rose in popularity across England, Europe, America and Australasia. The first Wimbledon Championships were staged at the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club in 1877 and the first US Championships took place four years later.
The International Lawn Tennis Federation now known as the International Tennis Federation was formed in 1924. Tennis was part of the Olympic schedule until 1924 when it was dropped from the programme. The sport was reintroduced as an Olympic sport at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
Today the four leading 'Grand Slam' tournaments in the professional game are the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.
How it Works
The game of tennis is a racquet game played with a yellow or white ball on a smooth rectangular court which can either be grass, clay, concrete/asphalt or an artificial surface.
Games are played with a net which equally divides the two sides of the court. The aim of the game is to score a point by hitting the ball in the other side of the court without the opposing player successfully retrieving the ball to the other side of the net.
Matches are traditionally played the best of three or five sets. The first player to reach six games wins a set providing they are at least two clear games ahead. Once the score in a set reaches 6-6 a tie-break is used to determine the outcome of the set. A tie-break is won by the first player to secure seven points - or in the event of the tie-break reaching 6-6 the first player to go two points clear.
Each game is decided by the first player to collect four points – known as love (0pts), 15 (1pt), 30 (2pts), 40 (3pts) and game (4pts). If the games reaches a score of 40-40 also known as 'deuce' the next player to win a point holds advantage. If the next point is won by that player holding advantage it is game. If the player not holding advantage wins the next point it reverts back to deuce and so on.
Format at WMG 2017
Participants will opt to compete in either the A Grade – open or B Grade – recreational competitions. The men's and women's singles will be organised in five-year age groupings from 30+ up to 80+. Meanwhile, the men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles will be in ten-year age divisions from 30+ to 80+. Entry numbers dependent, some competitions will have a preliminary round robin format with pools of four players (four pairs in doubles). The top two players in each group advance to the championship event and the bottom two will be pitched into the consolation event. From that point on the championships and consolation events will be straight knockout tournaments. Preliminary matches will be best of two sets with a 'championship tie break' played if necessary. Consolation matches will be one tiebreak set. Championship event matches will be the best of three tiebreak sets. There will also be a para-tennis (wheelchair) competition.
Albany Tennis Park. Courts are astro-grass and cushioned acrylic.
Expected number of competitors: 500
Kiwi Hero: Chris Lewis
The Auckland-born player was earmarked as a potential star of the future after winning the boys singles title at the 1975 Wimbledon Championships. After turning pro later that year he went on to secure three singles titles and earned a career-high ranking of 19 in 1984. The undoubted highlight of his 11-year professional career came when he battled through three tough five set matches to earn a place as an unseeded finalist in the men's singles at the 1983 Wimbledon Championships. He succumbed in straight sets in the final to US tennis legend John McEnroe.
Did you know?
John Isner of the USA beat France's Nicolas Mahut in the longest match in tennis history at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships. Isner won the final set 70-68 in a match that took 11 hours and five minutes spread across three days to complete.

I have lived amongst dogwood trees for most of my adult life, but am continually astounded at the cycle of life that takes place each year. It is particularly evident in the autumn when the leaves of the dogwood begin turning a somewhat speckled reddish brown. (With over 60 varieties – yours may look very different.) Soon after the color change in the leaves, bright red berries appear (which have been there all along, just not so brilliant) and the leaves release their hold and float gently to the ground.
What amazes me in the life cycle of a dogwood is that tiny pods appear and are burgeoning with signs of new life – not in the springtime – but immediately after the leaves fall from the tree. I find this cycle encouraging. The hope of blossoming is there all winter long, enduring the frigid weather and awaiting the return of the warmth of the spring sunshine.
Sometimes the season of letting go is incredibly difficult and the dark winter days seem to abound in the seasons of our lives. New life often comes with loss and letting go. Take the time to observe a dogwood tree this fall. Are there areas in your life you would like to release? How might letting go prepare you for the transformative blooming in the springtime?

From Critical Thinking to Argument A Portable Guide, by Barnet, Sylvan; Bedau, Hugo; O'Hara, John
Note: Supplemental materials are not guaranteed with Rental or Used book purchases.
- Cover: Paperback
- Copyright: 12/22/2016
From Critical Thinking to Argument is a very brief but thorough guide to critical thinking and argument. With only fifteen readings, this affordable guide can stand alone or complement an anthology. Comprising a condensed version of the text portion of the widely adopted Current Issues and Enduring Questions, it draws on the authors' expertise in persuasive writing and logical thinking, and now with new co-author John O'Hara, an expanded focus on critical thinking. It helps students move from critical thinking to argument and research. This versatile text features treatment of classic and modern approaches including Aristotelian, Toulmin, and Rogerian argument, as well as an expanded chapter on visual rhetoric.
Like other volumes in the Bedford/St. Martin's popular series of Portable Anthologies and Portable Guides, From Critical Thinking to Argument offers the series' trademark combination of high quality and great value for teachers of writing and their cost-conscious students.

Live trees - no wreaths or garland - can be taken to the south side of Ag Park through January 16. Those trees must be free of any objects, as they'll be mulched for use on city walking paths and tree wells, according to a city of Nampa press release.
Most were cooking related, but these festive fire dangers will continue, they said, if people are not careful with their live Christmas trees.
The Waste Management division will need approval from a homeowners association or community management group and a drop-off location in the community where residents can haul their trees.
To recycle a cut tree, Mission Country Disposal requires removal of everything from the tree, including tinsel, decorations, lights and even the little ornament hangers.
He plans to spread the pine needles across the islands in the parking lot at Pawnee Plunge Water Park to test the tip.
Yard debris customers may put smaller trees into their carts. One in every 34 Christmas tree fires is fatal.
"We're assuming if someone was able to purchase a tree and get it from the store to their home, then we feel that they're able to bring it from their home to one of the drop-offs", she said. The facilities are open weekdays from 9 a.m.to 4 p.m.
Former U.S. soccer coach Bob Bradley fired by Swansea
Welshman Giggs, 43, was interviewed twice prior to Bradley's appointment as the successor to Francesco Guidolin in October. First team coaches Paul Williams and Alan Curtis will be in charge while the search continues for Bradley's replacement.
Hundreds of these trees have been dumped at four city of Lubbock recycling drop-off centers since December 26.
A Christmas tree shines in glory at the Nk'Mip Cellars Winery during Festival of Trees, but soon it will be time to dispose of trees.
The "Beast" in action, mulching last year's Christmas trees.
Artificial trees made primarily out of metal or rigged plastic will be recycled.
He said that, as in Salem, town workers collect trees from the curbside in preparation for the event, and later safely stack them within a perimeter on Riverhead Beach before sparking the fire.
"Maybe it will save us some weed-pulling", said Sedlacek, who noted that the poorer-quality woodchips can also be used around young trees.
