Samsung throws in its two cents, sends T-Mobile's CEO a Gold Samsung Galaxy S5
0. phoneArena posted on 12 Apr 2014, 01:26
On Friday, we passed along a picture of a 24K Gold finished HTC One (M8) that had been sent to T-Mobile CEO John Legere by HTC America. The executive had snapped a picture of his gift, and tweeted it out for all to see. But just when you figured that Mr. Legere had a brand new daily driver, out pops a tweet from the outspoken executive, showing off the new Gold finished Samsung Galaxy S5 he received from Samsung Mobile U.S...

The sales he says. THE SALES!
Samsung just got caught again lying big time about their sales numbers. You don't see PhoneArena posting this article because it would cause too much trouble more than good.

Exactly. They mention they sold 2 million Galaxy tab tablet, when it actualiy sold far less than tha. I bet they have done this with other product. I notice every time Sammy has bad new, the next day they follow it up with some ridiculous SHIPPED number. They will get exposed soon enough on the other products.

Is giving a phone a new idea????
It is known as competition...htc did it so samsung thought why can't we????well they have more money than htc....

This is absolutely a great opportunity for Samsung haters, lol.
16. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
In which team you are, i'm torn apart. The gold S5(in above photo) looks horrible imo. but htc's gimmicky camera lol.
19. hurrycanger (Posts: 1625; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
I agree with your statement. That gold S5 does look terrible in that photo. and HTC M8 duo camera is gimmicky. The sample images are just... bad.
As for which team, I'm with neither in this case. HTC pretty much gave this guy a gold M8 to get attention (well, what other reason could it be? xD), and now Samsung "one up" that with a gold S5. It's not a bad thing to do, but I'm not impressed either.

Isn't Samsung "in trouble" over Android features? I can't wait to see your comments when Apple copies larger screens.
22. hurrycanger (Posts: 1625; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
No, not copying. That will be true innovation...
34. lllIIIlllIIl (banned) (Posts: 48; Member since: 11 Apr 2014)
It's only copying when Apple does it.
What about Sonys large screens? Nokia? Etc?
In the end, the one who is most profitable and successful is the winner (which is Apple/SS, if you forgot).
43. eldyagustius (Posts: 177; Member since: 30 Oct 2013)
When Apple kept producing the 4 inch phone, the people complained and mocked it. When Apple try to create larger screen phone maybe as their response to the consumer, the haters says it's a copycat. I really don't understand at all.
72. ecmedic4 (Posts: 420; Member since: 02 May 2013)
How is releasing a phone with a larger screen copying? That is a really dumb trolling comment. They would simply be following consumer preference. A larger screen is not innovation or copying. I use an iPhone 5S and i wouldn't mind a bigger screen, so Apple would just be following market preference as more and more ppl are wanting a larger screen phone. When flip phones started coming out, it was a race to get smaller and smaller, now the market preference is changing again, so please stop trolling and saying releasing a larger screen phone is copying. Pretty much every OEM is releasing larger screened smartphones. Grow up.

What you and apple calling copy was present in andriod already, so its not a copy... they just borrowed from android
58. sam3k (Posts: 129; Member since: 02 May 2013)
Hmmm question, did apple create gold or have a patient on gold phone's? Shut the hell up if you dont know what you are talking about, motorola and nokia had gold phones long before apple even interested the smartphone business..

BB don't give a damn about this, they won't follow this "giving CEO a gold flagship" trend. It's nice to see that Blackberry, Sony, LG, Huawei, Oppo etc. is not into this trend. Guess who's next in this trend? I think Nokia will give John Legere a gold Lumia 930, cuz we know Nokia, they know what to do lol.

Samsung already proved that they had gold phones long before Apple thought of making phones. They also went ahead and proved it as they were epic used by movie stars in movies (not commercial purposes).
Some Apple fanboys are just plain retards.

Delora is a character created for the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon, loosely based on the character Delora but with a significant change: she is Stratos' sister rather than his wife, and therefore one of the Bird People as well. This change was made because the show's producers did not feel their target audience of young boys would react well to love interests within the show.
This Delora's only appearance was in the episode Reign of the Monster. However, the 200x version of Hawke is mostly this character with a name change instead of the traitorous Bird Woman from Betrayal of Stratos.

Thread: No sound on some movies?

No sound on some movies?
I have been using my external Hard Drive to play movies that I have downloaded and it worked fine but recently the movies I download have no sound when I play them on my PS3 but play fine with my computer. Is there something I need to do to get the sound or a codec or something? Thanks
07-11-2009 #2brendanw74 Guest
No sound on some movies?
Hi DaddyJax
What I recommend you do is to go and download a free app called 'HandBrake' at the following URL http://handbrake.fr/
Here is a copy of some info from the site.
What HandBrake Is, What HandBrake Isn't
HandBrake is a GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder.
HandBrake is not a ripper. It converts video, it does not rip it byte by byte. It does not crack the latest DVD copy protection schemes hatched by the studios.
It converts video from nearly any format to a handful of modern ones—that's it.
Check it out and let me know if you don't come right.
07-13-2009 #3DaddyJax Guest
Thanks, I will take a look at that but I am having trouble on avi, mp4 and divx files that I have had no problems in the past. I know that computers have to be updated with codecs and so on so I wondered if the PS3 had some updates or is there something else?

19-year-old Mutlu Kaya, popularly known as Diyarbakir's nightingale, is not only a talented Turkish singer but a determined young woman as well.
Kaya was shot in the head last month for apparently appearing in a talent show that is the Turkish equivalent of Britain's Got Talent.
She had been warned by conservatives in her community, including her own relatives, against appearing on the show but she paid no heed and performed.
Soon afterward, she was shot in her head through a window of her home in the orthodox Kurdish town in the Diyarbakir province.
Police later arrested Kaya's ex-boyfriend Veysi Ercan and charged him with attempted murder of the singer.
She has once again beaten all the odds and come out of a coma after a whole month.
"She has been moved out of intensive care and into a private room. Her overall health is good. She has regained consciousness and is able to communicate with us," Ulas Aktas, a brain surgeon at the Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital in Diyarbakir, said.
But her ordeal isn't quite over yet.
"She is conscious now and can communicate with us. She has no neurosurgical problems at the moment. But she needs to go through a long period of physiotherapy and rehabilitation," her doctor stated.
That is a setback for a girl who aims to be the leading singer of her country. But the brave fighter that she is, Kaya is making swift recovery.
She is now able to consume liquids and soft food, and even moves about with the help of a wheelchair a few times a day.
Here's wishing her a full recovery.

text: Hey guys! So happy to have the chance to write this for you in my new blog! I am so excited after all this time, my blog is finally ready! I absolutely love it! Now I will be so much more motivated to write and post my fashion outfits here! Last Saturday I attended an amazing free fashion event for young students aged 16-24 at the Victoria and Albert Museum! It consisted of some talks, meet-ups, workshops and demonstration that were useful for me as a young fashion student. Successful people form the British Fashion Council, London College of Fashion lecturers, designers with own collections who presented at London Fashion Week gave us a brief talk touching on different topics. Most of them were in relation to internship advice and future jobs! I had the chance to see and hear successful people from the industry and, honestly, I got soo inspired! I love being around people who, just like me, love fashion!!! I also attended a talk with a successful photographer form the UK – Danny Baldwin who was such an inspiration and motivation for me as well! I gained so much information and I am incredibly happy to have the chance to live in such an amazing and developed city – everything can happen to you in London!

It should be noted that this guest post was supposed to be posted months ago, but I'm a forgetful idiot. Enjoy this lovely post from Nicole and these amazing-looking muffins – I have a feeling they'll be just as tasty now as they would have been at the end of summer :)
* * * * *
Hello there Holly's readers! I'm thrilled that Holly is letting me use her blog real estate today. I've been reading healthy living blogs for about 2 years and am very tempted to start my own. Leading up to this post, I had lots of ideas so maybe it's time…
In the meantime, Jessica was nice enough to post my Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Muffin recipe and now I'm delighted to share a fruity muffin recipe: Summall Blueberry Apple Muffins.
What's Summall you might ask? Well, it's half Summer and half Fall.
Last weekend, I was at the Farmer's Market and my apple guy switched from selling watermelons to big, juicy apples.
Yep – it's bigger than my breakfast yogurt container.
And then I spotted acorn squash. I hate to be the one to say it, but Fall is around the corner. We're still enjoying warm sunny days in Madison but when apples and squash start appearing at the market, I know it's time to unpack my fleece.
But over the past couple of months I've bought 4 of these:
By now my fingertips are blue and I'm ready to start talking in Smurf. I need to wrap up the Summer fruit consumption and turn the corner to Fall.
These muffins combine summer fruit and the first baking and eating apples available at this time of year. I've adapted the recipe from Leslie Beck, RD – adding lots more blueberries and omitting the sugar. I love to bake but do not have a sweet tooth (*gasp*) – these muffins satisfy a taste for baked goods without the sugar.
Nicole's Summall Muffins
This recipe makes about 24 muffins. Keep them refrigerated and they are best eaten after a brief zap in the microwave.
2 cups unbleached flour
1 and ½ cups oat bran
¼ cup chia seeds
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
2-3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
½ cup skim milk
1-2 diced apples, roughly chopped, keep the skin on
2 tbsp canola oil
2 eggs
1-2 cups blueberries (or more!)
– Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease or line muffin pans.
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
– In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients, apples, and blueberries (it's key to mix dry and wet separately).
– Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold them together with a spatula (don't stir or over-mix).
– Bake for 18 minutes or until cooked through (when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
I have to give a shout-out to my kitchen helper Kostas. Please don't tell the Health Department!
Now, if anyone would like to clean my muffin pans coated with exploded blueberries, let me know – I'll bake you a batch of muffins.
Question: What's the first sign that indicates the Summer to Fall transition for you?
About Nicole – Living a healthy and happy life in downtown Madison! I love to bake tasty treats and figure out a way to make them a bit healthier while keeping them yummy. When I'm not working in my office or kitchen, I'm walking my labs on the lakeshore path, downward-dog-ing, or running a road race in rural Wisconsin.

Border Wars in South America during the 19th Century
Peter V. N. Henderson
While Europeans basked in the glory of their so-called century of peace between the end of the Napoleonic wars (1815) and the onset of World War I (1914), Latin Americans knew no such luxury. Conflict became a way of life for Latin Americans attempting to construct nation-states. Liberals and Conservatives dueled with one another for political power, while caudillos (military strongmen) added their unique twisted logic to the political process. Historians have spilled considerable ink detailing these internal conflicts that complicated Latin America's struggle for effective state formation in the early national period but have paid much less attention to the external wars over disputed boundaries that involved every South American nation during the 19th century. As historian Robert Burr described it: boundary conflicts were the "congenital international disease of Spain's former colonies."
Brazil and the Paraguayan War: Conflicts and Interests
Francisco Doratioto
In 1863 and 1864, historical and political contradictions in the River Plate region led to civil war in Uruguay, creating tensions with neighboring nations in the region. The Brazilian government intervened both politically and militarily in Uruguay to address the interests of ranchers in its province of Rio Grande do Sul, to distract the attention of the Brazilian citizens from domestic problems, and to preserve the political influence of the Empire of Brazil on Uruguay. This action by the Empire clashed with the new Paraguayan policy of political interference in the River Plate region and resulted in the declaration of war against Brazil by Paraguayan dictator Francisco Solano López. This conflict broadened into the Paraguayan War.

Updating Atahualpa without using a childtheme
I just updated the Atahualpa theme to version 3.7.10 without using a childtheme. To my surprise nothing really changed in the layout of my website, allthough I made some major stylesheet-changes in the former theme version. Almost every change I made before updating was taken into the updated theme. I just had to re-add the logo image in the header and add read more links to the excerpts of the posts. Is it normal that a changed lay-out is taken automatically into the update without using childthemes, and if so: why using a childtheme when updating?

Hard-Working Robber Hit 36 Phoenix-Area Stores in Seven Weeks
Anthony Wayne Hamilton
UPDATE: The second suspect mentioned in this story is still on the loose, the FBI said on Friday, and an unspecified reward is being offered for his capture and conviction. The FBI dubbed the men the "Late Night Bandits."
"The [second] suspect is believed to be African American, between 20-30 years old, between 5'8" and 6'0" with a slim build," an FBI news release states. "We are trying to identify the subject, wearing blue)."
Surveillance photos and a video of the robberies was released — see below.
Anyone with knowledge of the robberies is asked to call the FBI at 623-466-1999, Silent Witness at 480-948-6377, or submit a tip online at fbi.gov.
An Ohio man who claims he was stealing to feed his family is accused of holding up 36 Phoenix-area convenience stores and gas stations in the past seven weeks.
From December 20 to February 9, federal court records show, Anthony Wayne Hamilton, 25 or 26, threatened victims repeatedly in his spree with a handgun and got away with small-time loot that never ranged more than a few hundred dollars. Sometimes he'd have an accomplice. Witnesses eventually linked him to a car with Ohio plates, and authorities used Facebook to connect the car's owner to Hamilton, who's now sitting in a federal holding cell awaiting his next court hearing Tuesday.
The FBI and police from Phoenix and Tempe took part in the investigation, and members of the Tempe Criminal Apprehension Team, U.S. Marshal's Office ,and Mesa Police Department took Hamilton into custody immediately after he allegedly robbed a Chevron station in Anthem.
"It was only a matter of time before he hurt or killed someone," says Tempe police Lieutenant Mike Pooley.
Court records detail 24 of the robberies. Hamilton, a short black man with dreadlocks and a high-pitched voice, had his method down. He picked the same type of businesses, hitting them between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. while wearing dark clothing, gloves, and a bandanna. He typically would display his handgun — he was caught with a Glock 9-millimeter fully loaded with a 33-round magazine — and demand that his victims open a safe or remove money from their wallets. Sometimes he took Newport cigarettes or a bottle of tequila. Not all of the victims gave in to his demands, but he never shot anyone.
Hamilton was positively identified by the FBI as the Facebook user Nesta Wayne Furlow, an Ohio State Buckeyes fan who does appear to have a family. Mugshot sites show that Hamilton, from Columbus, Ohio, was busted in 2009 for alleged weapon and drug violations. A November 15 photo on the page shows the view out the window of a jumbo jet — a month later, the area-wide robbery spree began. The heists occurred in Anthem, Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix, and Surprise. Here are some of the highlights from the FBI's probable-cause statement:
December 22: Hamilton and another man entered a Circle K at 5879 West Van Buren Street in Phoenix, stole $35 from the register and filled a bag with cigarettes. Wielding the gun, Hamilton made a clerk and customer empty their pockets, but neither had any money. The men referred to each other and their victims as "blood."
January 6: Hamilton walked up to a Shell station at 6930 East Thomas Road in Scottsdale and said to a clerk sitting on a stool outside the store: "Excuse me, pretty lady, I'm going to need you to give me the money." He got away with $170.
January 14: Hamilton encountered another clerk outside a store. When the victim refused to go inside, Hamilton hit him in the head with his gun, then pointed the gun at the clerk's face. "The victim got up from the table he was sitting at, refused to comply with the demands...and ran away to call police," records state. Hamilton started to chase the victim, then fled without taking anything.

January 24: at the Mobil station at 2180 East Broadway Road in Tempe, Hamilton and another suspect swiped $248 from the register, then told a clerk to access a second register and a safe. The clerk told them he didn't have access, and Hamilton threatened to kill him. The men then took off after grabbing a couple packs of Newports.
January 25: Hamilton and another suspect forced a clerk inside the Superpumper store at 23609 North Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale. After taking money from the registers, the men demanded the clerk's wallet and stole $60 from it. They forced the victim to withdraw $200 from the store's ATM with his debit card before fleeing.
January 27: Hamilton and another suspect robbed the Shell station at 704 East Greenway Parkway in Phoenix. After cleaning out the registers, they told the clerk to use his debit card to withdraw $200 from the store's ATM. The clerk said he didn't have that much money. Hamilton grabbed the victim's car keys, went to the parking lot and "rummaged through the victim's vehicle." After obtaining nothing more, the suspects fled.
January 31: Hamilton was robbing the Chevron at 10444 North 32nd Street in Phoenix when a customer walked into the store. Hamilton stole $400 and a driver's license from the customer. An hour later, Hamilton robbed Jackson's gas station at 15515 North Scottsdale Road. When a clerk apparently didn't move fast enough for him, Hamilton told the victim, "You really don't care, do you?" The victim replied, "I'm not trying to lose my life."
A Peoria police officer on his way home from work on February 6 spotted a man matching the description of the robber, who was being sought intensely by police at that point. The man was driving a gray Nissan Versa, which had been seen by witnesses. The license plate matched with an Ohio resident who had a Facebook friend, "Furlow," who looked just like the suspect seen by witnesses and in surveillance videos. License-plate reader technology placed the car near the time and place of several of the robberies, and police located the car on February 7 at a Motel 6 near McDowell Road and 51st Avenue.
Two days later, the Nissan was followed to the Chevron Four Sons store at 4266 West Anthem Way in Anthem. Police watched as Hamilton robbed the store, then pulled him over a few minutes later in the getaway car.
Hamilton was to be charged with seven federal counts of felony robbery and one felony count of using a firearm to commit a robbery.

New Delhi, Feb. 15: The government is likely to reverse its decision to go in for blanket privatisation of port services in view of the grave security implications of such a move.
Sources said the heightened threat perception has forced a rethink on the issue. An internal note of the shipping ministry is also reported to have criticised the earlier decision to privatise the pilot and tug services to bring ships into ports.
It is reliably learnt that the note had questioned the port authorities on the security implications of hiring private tugs to tow ships for berthing. The note further pointed out that this could increase the danger of infiltration, terrorist strikes and espionage at ports.
According to sources, it was decided at a recent meeting in the shipping ministry to take a fresh look at the issue. Senior officials admit that there is an increased emphasis worldwide on security both at the airports and sea ports. Security at Indira Gandhi airport in the capital, for instance, is being taken away from the Delhi police and handed over to specially trained personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
Intelligence agencies have also highlighted the danger of terrorist strikes from the sea. While the Navy has tightened its vigil in the outer cordon, private companies handling pilotage and operating tug services at ports could emerge as the chink in the armour.
The pilot boards a merchant ship just before it enters the port in order to guide it in the shallow waters amid relatively heavy traffic. In ports such as Calcutta and Kandla, a fairly long distance has to be traversed before the ship is docked.
The tugs are required to pull or push the ship in order to keep it steady as it moves at a dead slow speed in the port area which makes it unstable. The final docking of the ship is also a delicate task as it has to be put alongside the jetty and this is handled by the dockmaster.
All these activities are carried out in sensitive areas and, if they are handled by personnel of private companies, it could pose a security risk, a senior official told The Telegraph.
On the other hand, if these activities are handled by regular port staff there is an additional advantage in obtaining useful information about various vessels that are coming into the country.
The recent case of the North Korean ship that was carrying missile parts for Pakistan and had docked at Kandla en route to Karachi clearly shows the need for maintaining a tight vigil.
The ship had mis-declared its cargo and was nabbed while offloading a sugar consignment at Kandla. The incident had serious international ramifications as it exposed the Pakistani-Korean nuclear nexus.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
How did you become aware of it?
A friend received a letter from them.
Is this about reducing the sentence of a person in prison?
Give me one minute to look a couple of things up...
This is most likely a scam. They target people serving long prison sentences and attempt to get their money to reduce the sentence. In reality, there is very little after the sentence is pronounced that can be done to reduce it.
Sadly, they appear to be preying on the hope family and friends of a person serving a prison sentence may have of seeing the person released sooner than expected.
Thank You I concur.

Would You Go to See a "Family Guy" Movie?
While "nothing is official," Seth McFarlane indicated recently that a "Family Guy" movie is a definite possibility for the future. McFarlane has no specific plot ideas yet, but told Hollywood Reporter, "We have been trying to figure out how to do that and the series at the same time without the series suffering."
This kind of smacks of "Well, 'The Simpsons' are doing it, so why can't we?" but I'd probably go see a "Family Guy" movie anyway. What about you?

Scientists on the project have 8 agreements with universities/institutes to genetically engineer cotton and peanut and/or enhance resistance in corn by marker-assisted breeding to reduce aflatoxin contamination. These include University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Louisiana State University, Purdue University, Auburn University, University of Georgia, North Carolina State University (two agreements), and FAS/IITA. A new agreement with the Institute for Technology Development (ITD) is being implemented to develop non-destructive, rapid detection methodology for aflatoxin and A. flavus in corn kernels. Most of the cooperative agreements are supported by substantial additional (over and above the project's base funding) appropriated funds which are utilized to fund research of university cooperators associated with the project; these cooperators provide technologies (examples: production of reporter gene-containing strains of A. flavus, peanut transformation technology, isolation of unique antifungal genes, etc.) which would otherwise be unavailable to ARS for carrying out aspects of the project. This additional funding is highly supported by a large number of industries (see below) with great interest in the technology, which documents the potential large benefits which could be derived from the use of aflatoxin control products developed by project scientists and cooperators.
The following patents have resulted from antifungal gene discovery research:
1.) Small peptides with antipathogenic activity, treated plants and methods for treating same. Moyne, A.-L.,
2.) Transformation of Plants with a Chloroperoxidase Gene to Enhance Disease Resistance. Jacks, T., Cary, J., Rajasekaran, K,
Project scientists participate in the annual Aflatoxin Elimination Workshop, which is a high impact, customer oriented meeting (in addition to the usual scientific society meetings), in order to transfer available knowledge and technology to industry, farmers, and other scientists in the area of aflatoxin prevention research and technology. The scientists present their annual research progress at these workshops and interact (obtain customer input) with members of several industry commodity groups.
Examples of past years' industry attendees include;
Corn Refiners Association
National Peanut Foundation
Corn Millers Association
Cerestar USA
Anderson Clayton Co
National Cottonseed Products Association
National Cotton Council, Golden Peanut Co.
Beatrice-Hunt Wesson
National Peanut Growers
Best Food
Georgia Peanut Commission
Dried Fruit Association
Proctor and Gamble Corporation
National Corn Growers Association
Almond Board of California
Hunt-Wesson, Inc.
Paramount Farms of California
Walnut Marketing Board
Practical technologies to prevent aflatoxin on cottonseed using a genetic engineering approach to enhance host crop resistance may become available soon. However, end users will probably not be able to implement the technology until at least 2008 because of the logistics of field testing and regulatory requirements of releasing genetically engineered plant varieties into the environment. Providing practical technology to enhance resistance to aflatoxin in corn through development of methods in protein/gene based marker-assisted plant breeding will probably take approximately 2 to 3 more years. Implementation of resistant corn hybrids on a commercial scale may take 5-7 more years, because of the difficulty of incorporation of multiple resistance traits into corn together with desirable agronomic traits.

Katy Perry, Lena Dunham and Jamie Lee Curtis are among the many celebrities hitting the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton this election cycle. The "Duck Dynasty" guys are split on whether they prefer Donald Trump or Ted Cruz as the next president of the United States. But do endorsements from the rich and famous actually do much for campaigns? Or, is it, as traditional political wisdom holds, that endorsements from established party politicians that decide the primary winner?
In their popular book about the 2008 election, The Party Decides, political scientists Marty Cohen, David Karol, Hans Noel, and John Zaller posit that the most reliable indicator for who gets the nomination is who has the most endorsements from the party elite -- elected officials and other politicos.
Right now, Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, and Jeb Bush, the once-presumed-Republican-nominee-now-laggard-in-the-polls, are leading their respective "endorsement primaries."
And some of the early leaders in their respective camps -- Donald Trump and Ted Cruz on the Republican side and Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side -- are not the parties' favored candidate, to say the least. A cadre of party elite have banded together in a recent magazine special to take Trump down (probably a doomed mission). It's widely known that Cruz is hated within his party (a fact he embraces). And Sanders's top rival for the Democratic nomination, Clinton, far outpaces him in party endorsements.
Should Clinton and Bush continue to rack up the support of their colleagues and prevail in the primaries, traditional wisdom will also win the day. But what if Trump, Cruz or Sanders win? Or some other, less-favored candidate?

Even when you click on the above images to expand, the first is a bit small, so I'll try to get it a bit larger (wish me luck):
There should be three images below. I have 'enhanced' the second and third a touch to make them a bit easier to read. I hope that they may be of interest:
1. AL528, Liberator II about to land
2. the reverse of the photo showing the handstamp of the photographic agency, with the attached 'blurb' folded up
3. the 'blurb' itself: (a) the main text of which was standard -I have at least one other photograph with this blurb; (b) below the main text, the proposed photo caption, stating that it is a BOAC Liberator landing at Prestwick after a trans-Atlantic flight; and (c) above the main text, the reference number of the photograph - CH.14375
Even when you click on the above images to expand, the first is a bit small, so I'll try to get it a bit larger (wish me luck):
Interesting stuff. I assume that BOAC aircraft onl;y carried civil markings if they were operating to neutral countries then? I believe the Liberators had a number of accidents in BOAC service on the north Atlantic shortly after entry into service? From what I have read most of the passengers were returning ferry pilots?
I don't know for sure but I believe that you are correct. I base this on the need for aircraft and crews on the Stockholm run and on the service to Lisbon, for example, to be civilian - ostensibly at least. The Norwegian crews on the Stockholm Run were nominally British and wore BOAC uniforms.
AL528, along with some other BOAC Liberators, was allocated a civil registration (G-AGEM) apparently in case it was required to visit a neutral country, though I have no idea if it actually bore these markings at any time.
Yes, they were used on the Return Ferry Service, which BOAC operated from September 1941 onwards. One BOAC Liberator (AL512/G-AGEL) crashed at Gander in December 1942. I'm not aware of any other BOAC Liberator losses on the North Atlantic, though there were a number of incidents, such as birdstrike, and at least one belly landing).
AL528, itself, did crash in Canada but this was in February 1946.
According to 'G-INFO', Liberator II G-AGEM was placed on the British civil register on 31 July 1942. Its owner was BOAC with an address at the Grand Spa Hotel in Clifton, Bristol. The base for the aircraft, however, was given as Montreal, Canada.
According to AJ Jackson's book on British Civil Aircraft, its C of A was issued on 7 August 1942 and then, going back to 'G-INFO' once more, its civil registration was cancelled by the Secretary of State on 28 August 1942.
So it was officially G-AGEM for less than one month. I suspect that it never bore its British civilian registration markings in this brief period.
Just some further background info, and a nice photo, from the James D. Oughton book, "The Liberator in Royal Air Force and Commonwealth Service" (Air-Britain):
AL528 Construction Number 26; retained in USA following Pearl Harbor; Taken On Charge by USAAC 12.41; released to RAF and Taken On Charge Dorval (Montreal) 3.4.42; released to BOAC for Return Ferry Service 3.4.42; loaned to Ferry Command 30.6.42; Dorval-to-Prestwick 10.7.42, Prestwick-to-Lyneham 13.7.42; made special flights UK-to-Cairo first 14.7.42, returning to Lyneham 21.7.42, Prestwick 22.7.42; second flight 25.7.42 to 1.8.42, for which received Air Ministry commendation; registered G-AGEM to BOAC; Certificate of Registration (9370) issued 31.7.42; Certificate of Airworthiness (6939) issued 7.8.42, aircraft remained as AL528, and G-AGEM registration cancelled 24.8.42; flown Prestwick-to-Goose Bay 7.8.42, Goose Bay-to-Dorval 8.8.42, possibly a Return Ferry Service flight; first Return Ferry Service eastbound flight 16.8.42; crashed and caught fire at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, 21.2.46, while attempting emergency landing in snowstorm and severe icing conditions; civilian co-pilot only fatality.
A full-page photo of AL528 appears on page 102 of the book.

"The RAF Museum show has been forensically examined and was deeply unimpressive. I knew that their whale of a story was loaded with baloney".
I base my info on these RFS libs on one of Don McVicar's books, 'Ferry Command'. He describes several return flights on Libs and his lack of confidence in the crews experience on the North Atlantic. If anybody has not read his books they are a brilliant read.
The question of civil markings vs RAF markings for BOAC aircraft was not properly addressed througout the war. Broadly the idea was that if you were flying in, or near, a live combat zone, then your aircraft should be camouflaged; if not, then it should not be. That left open the question of whether camouflaged aircraft should have 'targets' on them. At the stage depicted in those photos, the RFS LB.30s were being operated by a unit that was overburdened with it's own, and ad hoc RAF requirements and it would seem that it was simply expedient not to take the time to repaint them. More than one did get extraordinarily scruffy before the decision was taken to remove the paint altogether, at which point the RAF roundels were retained, and a BOAC Speedbird appeared on the nose. Of course, for a while, the North Atlantic was considered an active combat zone, and the RFS crews were in fear of meeting FW.200s, against which they would have had little defence.
It would appear that the photo from the book shows AL528 at the very beginning of her RFS career. Precise conversion dates for individual aircraft are lost, but very early on they were internally converted so that passenger entry was through the bomb bay, enabling the original entry hatch/ tunnel gun position to be used for freight. The ladder there shows the rear hatch is being used for entry/egress.
Thank you for all this additional information. It is so very welcome. As I have said in other posts, I am a lapsed aviation enthusiast, whose Air Britain membership ended about 55 years ago. It is therefore quite invigorating to read about all this further research (and its publication). Perhaps you will permit me some additional comments.
From AL528's chronology, provided by Matt, it would seem that it made at least two trans-Atlantic flights when registered as G-AGEM. The second is shown as an RFS flight, the first only "possibly" so. Nevertheless, this again raises the question of whether it bore civil or military marks for one or other of these two flights.
It is also noteworthy that it made a couple of return flights to Cairo before it was registered as G-AGEM. According to AJ Jackson's book on British Civil Aircraft, two Liberators were allocated to this service in 1942. Both wore their civil registration markings for this duty. G-AGDR (formerly AM918) made the inaugural flight from Hurn to Almaza in late January 1942 but, on its return, was shot down near the Eddystone Light on 15 February 1942. The other Liberator, G-AGCD (formerly AM259) apparently continued this service on its own until the end of 1942. I wonder if AL528 made these Cairo flights to supplement the efforts of G-AGCD.
With regard to these Cairo flights, Lazy 8's comment about the lax application, in wartime, of the 'rules' on civil versus military markings is apposite. One would think that, if it were advisable for G-AGDR and G-AGCD to be in civilian guise, the same would have applied to AL528, yet the mark G-AGEM was only registered while it was away on the second of its two Cairo flights. I wonder if, around that time, there was a notion to use it more permanently on that service to join G-AGCD but, after carrying out two trans-Atlantic flights in the course of August 1942, the second of which was apparently for the RFS, it was decided that the RFS flights had priority and thus AL528's civilian registration could be cancelled. Pure speculation but it would seem to fit the dates.
In respect of the requirement to apply camouflage for the North Atlantic run, the first Lodestar obtained by the Norwegian Purchasing Commission for use on the 'Stockholm Run' was delivered to Dorval in bare metal and had to be 'camouflaged' there before continuing its delivery flight to Prestwick (later purchases were camouflaged at Lockheed's factory).
Farnboroughrob, I do not have the MacVicar book but shall look out for a copy. I seem to recall that "Atlantic Bridge", the 1945 HMSO account of Transport Command's 'Ocean Ferry' activities, said that the RAF could not release sufficient pilots for the service, so that delivery crews were made up with all manner of civilian pilots, including barnstormers and those more used to crop spraying. Whether this was the case for the Liberator crews on the RFS, I don't know but wouldn't be surprised. Of course, the other element, at that time, was that very few pilots indeed had flown such long distances, over vast oceans, in such cold winter conditions.

The other reason for the Atlantic Ferry pilots being civilians was that, until America entered the war it was not permitted that military pilots of any foreign combatant collect military aircraft from American factories. The RFS operation was based at Dorval, where TCA provided the maintenance facilities (not a 100% happy arrangement). If a flight reached Canada and found the weather against them, a diversion into an American airfield was a possibility (they weren't going to turn back...) so military crew could have presented a problem. The retention of full RAF markings on the aircraft tells us that this was, perhaps, a convenient fiction to keep the more dove-like elements in the US Congress happy. AFter the US entered the war, and as the RAF built up their own pool of long-range experience, it was not uncommon for RAF crew members to supliment their BOAC colleagues on the RFS flights.
BOAC records generally show the registration that an aircraft was carrying when it was lost, be that civil or RAF. Unusually, for the LB.30/Liberator fleet, for those aircraft which had civil registrations, they unerringly show both, so can't help in this case. However, as noted, AL528/G-AGEM was lost in February 1946, nearly four years after it's civil registration was supposedly cancelled. My own thoughts are that the apparent cancellation of the civil registration in 1942 may have more to do with using LB.30s to open up a route to Moscow, which BOAC wanted nothing to do with as it very definitely had to cross a combat zone and they were in dispute with the government at that point as to whose risk such operations should be.
If you haven't seen this, it is worth a few minutes of your time:
It is a 1942 Pathe Newsreel about RAF Ferry Command. It features Liberator II AL592 (G-AHYF) in the opening section.
The USA's Neutrality Acts of 1935, 1936 and 1937 certainly provided a stumbling block at the start of WWII. In 1939, initial efforts to amend their provisions were rebuffed but, following Germany's invasion of Poland, a new Neutrality Act was approved by Congress in November 1939. This allowed for arms to be provided on what was known as a 'cash-&-carry' basis, though American citizens were still barred from entering a war zone. It seems that Canada, as a belligerent nation counted as a war zone.
The effect was as follows. American-built aircraft were flown to northern states in the Mid-West, parked really close to the border, then towed into Canada (sometimes by horses). I believe this arrangement started early in 1940. Once in Canada, the aircraft were flown away to be delivered to Britain and also, I believe, to France. The Lend-Lease Act didn't come in until March 1941.
A bit of an aside, now. Though not directly involved in the war, USA's ships were being sunk by German subs, so Roosevelt then allowed the US Navy to defend its merchant ships. On Hallowe'en 1941, the US destroyer Reuben James was sunk; some of you may know the Woody Guthrie song that goes, "Tell me, what were their names? / Tell me, what were their names? / Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?". The Neutrality Acts were repealed within a fortnight, allowing merchant ships to carry war cargoes and to be armed. This was about four weeks before the USA declared war on Germany and Italy.
I hadn't seen that. Thanks for the pointer.
Interesting to note that the early Ferry Libs usually had the last two of their serial painted on nose and tail - on the back of AL592 in that sequence it had '37'.
AL592 didn't become G-AHYF until postwar, when the RAF had no further need for the ferry service and BOAC tried to use the LB.30s for freight. Although Scottish Airways took the service over and also tried (unsuccessfully) to make a profit, basically it came to naught because the none of the Liberator versions could meet postwar British CofA requirements. That meant no passengers, and fast freight just wasn't enough of a business.
The USN was already escorting British convoys on the western side of the Atlantic, attacking U-boats, before the sinking of the Reuben James.
The USN was already flying in Coastal Command aircraft on Operations from UK bases well before the Ruben James.
Take a look at the crew of the Catalina that re-located the Bismark.
Also the date for the grave of Ensign D A Eldred in Scotland

I don't think I said that the USN was involved only after the sinking of the Reuben James and I'm sorry if I gave that impression. I was trying to say that it was the sinking of the Reuben James that hastened the repeal of the Neutrality Acts and also to point out that their repeal pre-dated Japan's raid on Pearl Harbor and the USA's formal entry into WWII.
I was aware that the USN was permitted to defend merchant shipping before the sinking of the Reuben James. I concede that this was not limited to defending US merchant shipping, which is what I implied.
In respect of the involvement of USN aircrew in Coastal Command, was this an extension of the permission given to the surface fleet to protect merchant shipping?
No the numbers involved were too small for any meaningful attempt to protect shipping.
The first batch of three or so serving USN pilots were an add on to the RAF crews collecting a squadron of Catalina from Consolidated factory in Feb/April 1941.
Ensign (jg) L B Smith USN was part of the first group. The USN pilots took part in squadron working up on the new type when it reached the UK and seem to have been initially acting as conversion instructors beside RAF pilots who had flown the PBY used by Coastal Command in 1939/40.
However as the squadrons moved to Operational flights the USN pilots stopped instructional flights and start to appear in crew lists.
The new task for the USN pilots is to gain experience on how the Catalina fares in combat (a similar event with USAAF pilots occurs with RAF introduction of the B.17-C).
It is reputed that Smith was flying in May when the Catalina broke cloud over the Bismarck and Briggs who was aft at the radio/nav station composing the sighting report had to return to the cockpit in a hurry. Briggs always said "he did not find Bismarck, she found him!".
After May more USN pilots arrived making 9? in total and appear in most of the Catalina Squadron ORBs in operational flights between then and Dec as 2nd Pilots.
Ensign (jg) D A Eldred USN was flying with No.413 (RCAF) Sqdn when he was killed on 23rd Aug 1941, the only fatality of the USN military mission.
You mentioned the Liberator losses in Gander/Canada did you know about AM261 on Arran.

Thank you for that information, Ross. It reads as though the USN pilots were 'military advisers', in modern diplomatic parlance.
No, I didn't recall AM261 (nor AM260, which crashed on take-off at Prestwick around the same time). I was commenting more on those Liberators allocated civilian registrations (whether or not they used them). Opening this thread was prompted by the photo posted at the start. I do have the 1945 HMSO booklet "Atlantic Bridge" and did consult some of my old aviation books but it has been so very interesting to read more about the Return Ferry Service.
Below is another Liberator photo I have. I have seen a similar photo in published sources (marked as CH 14158) and, though the one I've just posted has no details on the reverse side, I assume it's from the same series of official Air Ministry photos.
Incidentally, I lived for some years quite close to Prestwick Airport and indeed, well before that, my first night in Scotland was spent in the old terminal building there, possibly the one used by the RFS. Also, for a short period, I worked on the first floor of a building near the Ayrshire coast with a clear view some days across the Clyde to snow-capped Goat Fell (and quite likely the crash site of AM261).

I should have mentioned that I assume that the above photo shows the Liberator flying along the coast of Arran because the other one (the one labelled CH 14158) is captioned, 'HOMEWARD BOUND: A Liberator passing the coast of Arran after flying the Atlantic from Montreal".
I also have a full frame photo of AL614 on the ground. Again, it isn't captioned but it could be at Prestwick. Was AL614 employed on the Return Ferry Service?
"Was AL614 employed on the Return Ferry Service"
Mapping the use/owner for these aircraft is looking into the gates of hell..
AL614 is an RAF serial and denotes that the aircraft was supplied to an Air Ministry contract and was officially taken on RAF charge as per form AM78 dates.
However it was officially TOC by BOAC on 31/8/42 no subsequent transfer was made to RAFFC/ATFERO/ATC (pick an era) so likely that it remained listed as "in transit" and hence used by RFS.
All ATA staff in the UK were BOAC employees and ATA ferry aircraft were on RAF charge so in a sense ATA/BOAC/RFS aircraft and crews were all BOAC.
In Canada the admin was Canadian Pacific Railway with Trans-Canada Air Lines maintenance and BOAC crews so somewhere a very complex paper ownership dance was happening.
in the early years one way trippers regardless of actual service were also employed under BOAC contract for the ferry flight to the UK but as ATFERO then RAFFC became established then the pretext of civilian crew disappeared and Air Training Plan graduates operating under the national service became the norm.
One of the underlying reasons for the ownership alphabet soup for the Liberators was to try to stop Harris acquiring the aircraft and stopping the RFS.
Harris had arranged the purchase for Coastal Command when he was part of the British Purchasing Committee as he saw no need for them in Bomber Command. However with the move from medium to heavy bomber to give the tonnage and range into Germany and the failure/delays of two/four engined new types into Bomber Command service one of moves as AOC was to make strong representations for all aircraft to be diverted from Coastal to Bomber.
Carl Christie is one of the few authors to make any headway in truly recording the service, most sources, including me only scratch the surface and record a fleeting image of the moment.

Regarding the location of the photo, if it is Arran the location could be between Dougarie and Imachair on the West side of the island over Kilbrannan Sound.The clue, apart from the rising ground is the two marker boards on the shore showing the location of a buried submarine cable and you can see one on this chart marked http://www.visitmyharbour.com/harbou...-of-arran-2017
Thanks, scotavia. I think I recall reading somewhere that RFS aircraft departing Prestwick would tend to gp round the southern end of Arran before heading off across the Atlantic. Your identification of the likely location of that photograph seems to indicate that those coming into Prestwick adopted the same practice, only in reverse, of course.
I show below the photograph that appears in HMSO's "Merchant Airmen" booklet, which seems to have the Liberator slightly further down the Arran coast. I also show the same photograph as it appeared in FLIGHT in 1945; the quality is lower but it shows a bit more of the coast, in case that helps. It also shows the photo reference number scrawled on. It looks like there is beach and a small jetty in the background
If the images are too small, just click on them to show them larger (or double-click to make them even larger).

Hi, gents,
No time to post comparison shots, but my initial comparison links the photos to SANNOX, on the NE coast of Arran. I'll later post a Google Earth comparison. The Liberator would be flying northward, on a heading of 340-345 degrees. I think it will be clearer after I take a comparison shot in 3D. Too rushed at the moment -- sorry. This heading is not towards Prestwick. Possibly an outward leg to N. America, or the inbound landing pattern would have taken the Lib to the NW of Prestwick before turning and approaching the airfield from the NW.

"The RAF Museum show has been forensically examined and was deeply unimpressive. I knew that their whale of a story was loaded with baloney".
In "Merchant Airmen" (HMSO, 1946), the photograph is captioned:-
'COMING IN. A Return-Ferry Liberator flies low along the hilly, cloud-capped coast of Arran after a flight from Montreal. With a good tail wind she can do the west-to-east crossing - over 3,000 miles - in something under fourteen hours.'
In FLIGHT (22 March 1945), the caption reads:-
'HOME BOUND : A Liberator passing along the coast of Arran after flying the Atlantic from Montreal."
It is an Air Ministry photograph and it is possible that, originally, it was issued with a press 'blurb' attached (rather like the one at the start of this thread) and that the blurb identified the location as I've given it here. Does that mean that the 'blurb' was 100% accurate? I don't know but views are welcome.

Comparison shots. Definitely the location is in the Sannox area of Arran. The modern satellite comparison, at an oblique angle, with a 1:1 vertical exaggeration factor for the relief (essentially an accurate portrayal of terrain), matches up nicely. The village of Sannox is approx. 24 miles from Prestwick.
If this is an inbound flight, as per the caption, then the Liberator is in a landing pattern which took it north of Prestwick, and a turn to starboard will bring it back towards Prestwick for the landing.

"The RAF Museum show has been forensically examined and was deeply unimpressive. I knew that their whale of a story was loaded with baloney".
Thanks, both, for the confirmation of the location. As I indicated in Post #18, my assumption has been that the two photographs showed the same aircraft on the same day but perhaps that was not the case. If my assumption was correct and the photos show the same aircraft, what route would it have taken between the two places, I wonder.
Flying north past Sannox and turning to starboard would indeed line up with the main runway at Prestwick, as you show in one of your images, Matt. It would have been a long run-in but perhaps they did so for the benefit of the photographer.
Incidentally, this looks to be the same runway and from the same direction as AL528 in the photograph I showed in Posts #1 and #2.

There is one other photograph of a Liberator in HMSO's "Merchant Airmen" booklet. For those who haven't seen this booklet, I have posted the photograph below
The aircraft is flying at a higher altitude, there is no land mass in sight, the photograph is taken from a very different angle and has no caption but it does precede Section VI, "ATLANTIC STORY", of the booklet.
It is possibly the same Liberator as the one flying near Arran in the photos posted earlier.
Many thanks for the tip about the Don McVicar memoir, "Ferry Command".
I said that I'd look out for this book and, today, a more-than-decent second-hand copy, complete with dust jacket, popped through the letter box. It cost all of 82 pence plus postage, so I'm very pleased indeed and I'm looking forward to reading it.
Thanks again.
Enjoy! It's a very good read. The only problem is... you might find you would like to read his other books as well

Draymond Green Donated $3.1 Million To Michigan State
Draymond Green just donated a record setting amount of money to Michigan State University, and the $3.1 Million dollars is also more than Green has made in his NBA career so far.

A Mcdonald's employee tested out the new 'McKnockout Sandwich' on a customer who was trying to cause trouble.
Michigan State lost their Big 10 opener in double overtime last night, but it wasn't due to lack of fan support, although it may have been due to lack of spelling ability.
Adreian Payne wasn't even sure if he would play Tuesday night against Ohio State, but the Spartans are lucky he did. Not only did Michigan State walk out with an overtime win, but Sparty fans were treated to two monster dunks from Payne.
According to the Bleach Report Michigan State may have an extra person on the sidelines at next years Rose Bowl.
Michigan State showed off their number one ranked defense in the Big10 Championship game, where they beat undefeated Ohio State. Now Sparty is moving on to their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1988.
Less than a week before his Michigan State Spartans will play for the Big Ten Championship, head coach Mark Dantonio is named the Big Ten Coach of the Year.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis took over the Michigan State campus earlier this week selling out the Breslin Center. The huge show didn't stop the duo from traveling across the country though to film a top secret video for 'Can't Hold Us'.
Tickets to the second and third round NCAA tournament games at The Palace of Auburn Hills are hard to come by. Most of them have been sold already, and the ones you can find cost an arm and a leg. What if I told you that you didn't need a ticket though? What if you could get into The Palace to watch the teams practice for free today?
It is that time of year in Michigan where we pick our school, MSU or Michigan to battle it out in the NCAA tournament. In recent years, MSU has gone further in the brackets than Michigan but this year has a strong opportunity for both teams to reach the Final Four. Who do you predict to go further?

Use this checklist to look at the pros and cons of outsourcing and decide if it's right for your organization.
Business: The Ultimate ResourceIntroduction by Daniel GolemanPublished by Perseus Publishing August 2002; 0-7382-0242-8
DefinitionOutsourcing is increasingly understood to mean the retention of responsibility for services by an organization while the day-to-day performance of those services is devolved to an external organization, usually under a contract with agreed standards, costs, and conditions.
In this checklist the organization considering outsourcing some or part of its functions will be called the "Organization"; the external organization designated to take them on will be called the "Agency."
AdvantagesThe Organization generally makes the decision to outsource for a number of reasons, including:
DisadvantagesOutsourcing can:
Action Checklist1. Create a Project TeamTreat the outsourcing proposal like a project. Select a project leader and team, establish terms of reference, a method of working, and an action plan.
2. Analyze Your Current PositionIdeally you should have conducted a radical review of the Organization's processes -- you don't want to outsource a function that might be better integrated with one of your core activities. Maintaining a clear vision of where the business is going, make sure you evaluate:
3. Pay Attention to PeopleAs the contract stage approaches, your staff will suffer from anxiety and uncertainty. At best their working life will be transferred from one employer to another, at worst their job could be lost. Keep your people's welfare at the forefront of your thinking.
4. BenchmarkSomeone somewhere is probably doing the same thing that you are in a better way, or in the same way at lower cost. Identify appropriate organizations to benchmark against, and establish which activities they are outsourcing.
5. Come to a DecisionIdentify your core areas -- Tom Peters says, "Do what you do best and outsource the rest." The principal questions are:
Then decide whether outsourcing should become Organization-wide policy for non-core areas or whether it should be used only as the need arises.
6. Decide What to OutsourceLogically, what to outsource follows from the decision process. If you focus on the core competencies of the Organization, on your uniqueness, then targets for outsourcing become the support, administration, routine, and internal services of the company.
Areas that have traditionally been subject to outsourcing include legal services, transportation, catering, printing, advertising, accounting, and, especially, auditing and security. More recently these have been joined by data processing, IT services, information processing, public relations, buildings management, and training.
7. Tender the PackageThe tender is an objective document detailing the services, activities, and targets required as well as a selling document designed to attract Agencies that can add to the Organization's capability. Outsourcing is not just a matter of getting rid of problem areas.
Once you have defined an attractive package, send an outline specification and request for information to the Agencies that are likeliest to be interested. The outline specification should contain the broad intention of the outsourcing proposal and the timescales the Organization has in mind.
The request for information is a questionnaire type eligibility test intended to establish the Agency's competence and interest. The second stage is the invitation to tender, a precise document that spells out exactly what Agencies are required to bid for.
8. Choose a PartnerThe tender process should be used to evaluate facts, but choosing an outsourcing partner is much more than choosing a supplier, because the process involves a customized service, agreement on service levels, and a contract. At this stage the Organization is looking for an Agency with which it can agree on objectives and values, hold regular senior management meetings, and share otherwise confidential information. Harmony of management styles is a key requisite for success.
9. Introduce Your Staff to the AgencyMembers of your staff scheduled for transfer to the Agency should meet their new management before any contracts are signed. Allowing employees to air their concerns may help to reduce the feeling they are being dumped or cast aside. On the other hand, glaring conflicts in style and personalities may emerge that could affect the contractual stage. Address other issues of terms and conditions of employment including appropriate compensation if Agency employment is not available or not required.
10. Draw up the ContractIf the project team draws up the contract, provide appropriate legal input. The contract should spell out:
11. Test the ContractMake certain that the contract will stand up to the rigors and complexities of actual operation. A trial period is ideal for making adjustments before the contract becomes final and for judging the likelihood of the partnership breaking down.

Roasted butternut squash with garlic and red lentil soupPosted on: 21 March 2016 by Rob Hobson
Rob Hobson, author of The Detox Kitchen Bible, invites you to savour a deliciously warming and healthy souper soup.
Butternut squash is rich in a plant chemical called beta-carotene that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body helping to reduce the risk of disease.
Adding lentils to dishes is a good way to increase your fibre intake (currently low in the diet of many people), which can help to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and also control weight, both risk factors for heart disease.
Serves: 2
Nutritional: 330 calories
1 small butternut squash, deseeded and peeled
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
125 g red lentils
2 tsp Ras El Hanout
Small pinch of dried chillies
800ml vegetables stock
Sea salt
Black pepper
To serve
Sunflower and pumpkin seeds
Pomegranate arils
Chopped mint
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Season the squash and garlic with salt and pepper then wrap in foil. Place on a large roasting tray and cook in the oven for 25 minutes. Once cooked remove from the oven and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized saucepan and add the onion. Cook for 10 minutes until soft. Add the Ras El Hanout and dried chilies then cook for a further minute.
- Add the cooked squash, garlic and lentils to the pan and stir. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil.
- Turn down the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the lentils are cooked.
- Season to taste.
- Blend into a thick soup consistency using a stick blender. If the soup seems too thick then add a little water during blending.
- Serve in small bowls topped with seeds, pomegranate and chopped mint.
This is the perfect antidote the cold snap that the Met Office is predicting for the next couple of weeks and, as it th weekend, there is no time like the present to try it. Enjoy!

Porsche Cayman pictures and hands-on1/14 Pocket-lint
Porsche revealed its new Cayman in Los Angeles yesterday at the 2012 LA Auto Show, and we were in town to get a first glimpse. The sister car of the Boxster unveiled earlier this year in Geneva, the Cayman appears at first glance to be very much a "same again" piece of design and closely follows the Porsche evolution-not-revolution design philosophy.
READ: 2011 Porsche Cayman S review
Look a bit closer though and there are some big (for Porsche) changes here. Lighter, longer and lower with a longer wheelbase than before, the whole proportions of the car are now shifted rearwards somewhat, with a longer, fuller rear end, which sees the previous car's flying buttress rear wings and duck's-back tail end disappear. In its place you have a look that is more mini 911-like in silhouette.
In our view that's not a bad thing. And, that said, you're unlikely to mistake a Cayman on the road for a 911 as it adopts the Boxster's new, distinct form and rear light treatment and those different doors (previously, 911s, Caymans and Boxsters shared exactly the same door).
Inside there's good news too. The new interior of the Boxster is adopted too – complete with that rising centre tunnel that was inspired by the Panamera. It's a much classier place to sit than before and we like that you can now add splashes of contrast colour - on the show car there was a grey-with-tan scheme - without having to paint the entire interior, dashboard and steering wheel a shade of tan or red if you weren't keen on black leather seats.
You get a bigger, quicker-reacting centre touchscreen too and the right-hand dial of the gauge pack is digital so that it can display things like the turn-by-turn navigation instructions. The only problem with all this that we can see is that to make your interior not look bare, Porsche makes you p(l)ay that clever trick of spending thousands on options. You get all the buttons that flank that centre console functioning only if you tick boxes for extras such as special suspension, exhausts and so on. Oh, and full leather across the dash top will likely cost extra too.
Still, all signs are that you'll forget about that once you get behind the wheel and head out on a drive. The Cayman's lighter than before and sits on a new chassis which has more even weight distribution. This extra lightness means that the engines are downsized, with the Cayman now coming with an entry level 2.7 litre flat six engine.
Fitted with the automatic double-clutch "PDK" gearbox most owners will choose, it will fire the car to 60mph in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 164mph (in Germany). And when you're not driving like that, it should be capable of around 35mpg and 180g/km emissions. Pretty good for something so scrorchio, we think.
Of course, you can have a 6-speed manual gearbox too and there's the obligatory higher output S model with a 3.4 litre engine that drops the 0-60 run down to 4.7 seconds. Expect both to make you feel like a driving god and make a rather wonderful noise.
Of course, the engine's still in the middle of the car, behind you and your passenger's heads which is not only central to the driving experience, but allows Porsche to offer the on-going novelty of two boots - one in the front under the "bonnet" and another under the rear hatchback. Fast and practical? What's not to like?
The basic price will start at £39,694 when the car goes on sale in the UK in next spring. Expect to be looking at a good few grand more once you've ticked a few very necessary options boxes.
Is that good value? Well, it's always been odd that Porsche charges more for the Cayman – a coupe – than it does the Boxster with it's more complex/expensive-to-build droptop and the extra sensory experience open driving brings. And the Boxster's now a car that even the most blokey of blokes ought to be happy to be seen in. But if you must have a coupe, then we suspect that the new Cayman might give big brother 911 something to think about – especially given that car costs at least 30 grand more.
Chances of it being the best sports car in Porsche's range? Let's just say we can't wait to drive it.

Loved the session!!
J.P. - Jun 23, 2017
Having experienced BodyTalk before with another practitioner, I made an appointment with Todd to see how BT would help with some ongoing issues, one of which was low energy. Todd communicated with my body via Body Talk to get answers to what was causing the fatigue. I was both relieved and hopeful when he confirmed some of my own feelings about the cause, plus giving me helpful info on how the different organs communicate with each other to achieve a goal of health & wellbeing. Feeling better..
Why Wait?
Bob R - Jan 20, 2017
I have had several BodyTalk sessions with Todd, as well as with Angela. My purpose was to balance my system as preventive maintenance. I felt more centered and settled after each session. I also referred a man, who had about ten sessions, and afterward his state was noticeably more calm and focused; it made a big difference in his life. Todd and Angela are highly qualified in BodyTalk,with an underlying knowledge base that enables them to maximize its benefit. I recommend them highly.

Weeks of mobility restriction and pain GONE!
Patti Goerdel - Apr 13, 2016
I had suffered with intensive stabbing pains between and under my shoulder blades when using my arms for nearly 3 weeks. X-rays were "normal". Hot packs, cold packs, multiple chiropractic visits - no improvement. During my session with Todd, I knew without reservation that he had targeted the problem with laser precision. My muscles were sore (like after exercising) that evening, but by the next morning, no more pain, no restriction and much improved breathing. THANK YOU!

Yes Bank is banking on its business growth with the objective to achieve a balance sheet size of Rs 150,000 crore, a pan-India branch network of 750 from the current 150, with a human capital base of 12,000 by 2015. Going further, the bank also looks to ramp up lending to retail clients.
Rana Kapoor, Founder, Managing Director and CEO, Yes Bank, said, "The bank plans to take its headcount to 12,000 by 2015 to help grow its retail footprint pan-India. It currently employs 3,030 people, which it plans to raise to 4,500 by fiscal-end."
He further said, "Yes Bank will focus on the granularity of liabilities management through a focused strategy by also pursuing non-linear growth opportunities such as the recent partnership with Nokia to launch the first-of-its-kind Yes mobile money services, which will establish a platform to enable transfer of money using the mobile device in a secure manner."
"Yes Bank is pursuing a brand strategy to build one of the finest financial brands in India. Triton is our ad agency, which will continue to do our ad campaigns involving print, outdoor and other BTL activities," Kapoor added.

By Walter J. Evans, Tulsa
Thanks to Sen. Brian Crain, R-Tulsa, new legislation has been passed that will help save lives affected by domestic and family violence. Senate Bill 726 was approved by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Mary Fallin.
Crain is a tribute to statesmanship and a master at guiding legislative initiative. Our citizens were smart to elect him, and it will be a significant loss when he reaches his term limit. The legislative process is risky, messy, frustrating, but also invigorating and empowering when a win-win prevails at the end of the route.
By establishing pilot programs in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, the Legislature and governor assure measurable results that provide knowledge and learning that might be replicated in all areas of the state.
