Klear Can Technology
Crystal Clear Transparency
Milacron Holdings Corp. has just reached a significant milestone with its Klear Can technology. The company confirmed the sale of the first Klear Can production system to a large brand owner focusing on tropical fruits.
To the manufacturer's product presentation
After successful qualitative testing with consumers in Asia conducted by Nielsen Market Research, the customer plans for the Klear Can to be in-market, on retail shelves and available for consumer purchase no later than Q1 2017.
Milacron Co-injection developed the Klear Can, which is an alternative to metal cans for fruits, vegetables, soups, meats, and other products. The Klear Can's unique crystal clear transparency allows brands to demonstrate the true quality of their products to consumers – starting at the critical moment in store where most consumers make their purchase decisions. Furthermore, the Klear Can is fully recyclable. After consumer use only a small amount of metal remains on the can's upper rim, the residual ring on the flange will separate during the grinding phase.
The Milacron Klear Can is similar to many PP plastic containers with double seam EZO can ends found in stores today. Although it behaves like a can, it is recyclable. The base is plastic and the rim is a very low percentage of the package; so low, it is microwavable. The product is over 98% plastic after the can is opened. Based on barrier layer percentage, the Klear Can provides more than 2-years shelf life, and is also cost competitive to metal cans. The Klear Can uses the same filling, seaming and retorting machinery as metal cans, so minimal downstream investment is required. In addition, the Klear Can allows manufacturers the flexibility to mold cans at the filling site (i.e., via 'through-the-wall' supply operations), which offers operational efficiencies.
The Milacron Klear Can is a patented co-injection molded, polypropylene EVOH plastic can, which can be cooked and seamed meeting all industry standards. The Klear Can is BPA-free for safe food contact. It is designed to withstand standard retort pressures and temperatures (up to 130°C), and to work with existing standard metal can manufacturing processes. Rigorous testing has verified that the Klear Can seal integrity is approved and proven safe and reliable. In addition, while Klear Can is lightweight, it is stackable and dent-resistant through all aspects of the manufacturing and transportation process.

text: Ember and Forge, Erie PA Coffee has long had been prized for its ability to provide a jolt of energy and act as a catalyst for action. That's certainly true in the case of Hannah Kirby '11M, a Gannon University graduate who used coffee to jump start a dream of entrepreneurism and community building.Kirby, with both engineering and Master of Business Administration degrees from Gannon University, worked for LORD Corporation as a quality engineer. Yet the Waynesburg, Pennsylvania native also developed a passion for helping to rebuild the Erie community that was nourished by extensive volunteer work. Still, she realized that just wasn't enough.Kirby who worked as a barista throughout high school, acquired a refined palate of a well-made cup of coffee, and that was just the wake-up call she had been looking for. Coffee would be the substance that would complement her desire to make a mark on Erie's future. The idea for Ember+Forge was born.Kirby looked to the Gannon Small Business Development Center for assistance with creating a business plan and financial projections, and with choosing a loan program that might be a good fit for what she was trying to accomplish.In addition to the services from the SBDC, she utilized assistance from a number of resources including a Cleveland-based consultant with expertise the café/coffee roasting industry, Schaffner, Knight, Minnaugh & Co., the coffee industry consultant's accountant, a family friend for branding, and another friend who is a Chicago interior designer.The decision of where to locate the venture was all Kirby's. She chose a 200-year-old building that was built to house a ship's chandlery and candle-maker. That was the ember.Because the heavily trafficked corner location in the heart of downtown Erie next to the Erie Art Museum is close to Gannon University, Erie Insurance, UPMC Hamot and other large downtown employers, Kirby hoped her business would help to forge a new vision of Erie's revitalization.With guidance from the SBDC, Kirby submitted her business plan and projections to Bridgeway Capital for consideration for funding her venture. In August 2017, she was successfully funded by Bridgeway and Ember+Forge was launched.

In August, 2004 Best Review, in a longer article on Liberty quoted Paul Condron as saying:
Paul Condrin, executive vice president of personal lines for Liberty Mutual, said the creed couldn't be more appropriate. "What differentiates us from a lot of companies is the time and energy we spend in preventing the loss," he said. In addition to employing more than 700 safety and health experts in the field to work with customers in preventing losses, the company's 50-year-old Research Institute for Safety is devoted to studying the science of preventing losses
It also included a significant description of the Institute:
A.M. Best Company # 00060
Liberty and the Pursuit of Safety
You may not know the name of David S. Beyer, but he's reached a hero's superstar status at Liberty Mutual.
He didn't excel in sports or music. He didn't grace the silver screen.
Beyer was a safety engineer.
And the fact that he was the first employee hired by Liberty Mutual back in 1912 has become a legend at the company, which devotes a great deal of time, money and effort to studying why people get hurt at work, how to prevent those injuries and how get them back to work sooner.
Loss prevention is "the cornerstone of what we stand for," said Karl Jacobson, senior vice president of loss prevention at Liberty Mutual.
The center of Liberty Mutual's loss prevention is its Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety. Funded with an annual budget of $8 million, the research institute employs 46 staff members, including 25 full-time researchers who are devoted to studying the various aspects of workplace and worker safety.
It's a sound investment, Liberty Mutual says. Workplace injuries caused $45.8 billion in costs in 2001, up from $44.2 billion in 2000, according to its 2003 Workplace Safety Index.
At any given time, there are about 70 different research projects under way in the institute's 11 labs. The findings are shared with the world, including other insurance companies, through publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Tom Leamon, vice president and director of the institute, said it's important that the findings be published and accepted in the scientific community.
"Otherwise, why would anyone accept our opinion? They'd say, 'that's what you'd expect an insurance company to say," Leamon said. "This gives us credibility."
Many of the studies revolve around the three leading causes of workplace injury: overexertion, falls on the same level (as opposed to tailing from a height) and bodily reactions (injury caused by the body contorting in an attempt to avoid falling). those three causes of injury were responsible for 51% of workers' injury costs in 2000, according to the company.
"It doesn't matter what industry you are in: restaurant, manufacturer, office. I can tell you the cause of your major workers' comp losses" Leamon said.
The institute spends a lot of its time studying slips, trips and falls, physical work and return-to-work programs.
After publishing its various findings–74 published last year alone–Liberty Mutual then uses the results from its findings to develop risk-management guidelines, which are proprietary. It shares those guidelines with the company's more than 700 safety and health professionals in the field, who work with clients to improve safety. Each of Liberty Mutual's business units has its own assigned loss prevention experts.
Over the years, Liberty Mutual's findings have included such industry-changing concepts as guards to prevent workers from losing hands and fingers in machines to an emergency shut-off switch on escalators that prevents children and others from getting hurt if their shoes get caught under a moving step. Many of the company's industrial findings have became standards utilized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other domestic and international regulatory organizations, And the escalator emergency shut-off switch has been a building code requirement in the United States since 1960.
"We don't do this because we want to create standards. We do this to reduce losses," Jacobson said. "We consider ourselves business partners with our customers. We care about the long term. Preventing losses is a win/win for both of us."
The institute often does joint projects with colleges and universities. For instance, in 1957 and 1961, the institute and Cornell University developed two "survival cars," which were designed to show how safety measures could prevent vehicle crashes and injuries. The cars included 17 safety features, including seat belts, air bags, collapsible steering columns, headrests and special brakes that eventually became standard in U.S. automobiles.
If the institute needs to measure a particular factor, and there isn't an appropriate measurement device in existence, it will design and create the needed tool. The institute holds several patents, including one for a machine that measures the slipperiness of floors. However, the institute's focus is not on creating devices or seeking patents.
"We don't want to design products. We create knowledge and others can use that knowledge to create the product. We are not in the business of producing patents," Jacobson said.
It's difficult to measure the impact the institute has had on Liberty Mutual's bottom line, but that's not the main goal of the facility either, Leamon said.
"My job is to give the competition an inferiority complex. They can't go someplace else to have a better control of their risk. That's a visible part of who we are," Leamon said.
Located about 26 miles west of Boston, in Hopkinton, Mass., the 93,000 square-foot research institute is divided into two entities. The Center for Safety Research works to improve workplace safety by investigating the causes of workplace accidents and injuries, including studying how people respond physically to various tasks. The Center for Disability Research studies the causes, consequences and prevention of disabilities in workers, and helps to develop safe and sustained return to work for injured workers. The institute, which recently doubled its size with a new addition, is 50 years old.
While the institute is geared to do studies to share with the world, the institute also houses an operation specifically to improve Liberty Mutual's personal claims handling. The institute includes a 14,000 square-foot claims training center where personal auto and homeowners adjusters learn first hand how to repair damaged homes and autos. In addition to classroom training, the center includes a working garage where adjusters–and even customer service representatives who answer phones–can learn the basics of how to repair damaged cars and homes.
The traditional-looking classrooms include garage doors that open up into a warehouse-sized facility. In addition to a working garage, where auto claims adjusters can learn how to pull a dent from a bumper or realign a damaged frame, the facility also includes a newly built, full-sized, two-story home where homeowners claims adjusters can learn about different building techniques and materials. The home includes some Plexiglas walls, so students can see the innerworkings–pipes and wiring–of a house, and how various types of sample materials can be used.
"They learn the terminology, which helps them interact with body shops and customers," said Tom Smyth, director of technical training for Personal Markets.
Home adjusters attending a training program that spans several weeks actually build a small house-like shed, which is "damaged" by teachers, who spray red spray paint to represent fire damage. Then the adjusters estimate how much it will cost to repair the damage, and then, they repair the damage themselves to see how close they come to their estimate.
"It's a great learning experience," Smyth said.
Outside the facility is a three-acre auto training and testing track, equipped with sprinklers to wet the pavement. Using specially prepared vehicles, instructors can show participants-often commercial vehicle driver trainers, or fleet managers–driving techniques to use during difficult emergency driving conditions, such as when they have to stop suddenly, or the vehicle begins to slip into a tailspin skid.
"It's one thing to tell someone what to do in an emergency. But that's not likely to be as effective as letting them do it, and feel it, for themselves," said Dave Money director of transportation training.
All aspects of the institute point to its motto, "From Research to Reality," Leamon said. "There's a difference between the perception and the reality of risk. Our mission is to do research, reduce risks and differentiate Liberty Mutual. Our purpose really is to help people live safer, more secure lives."

The battle between Trump and the Democrats in the House of Representatives shows no signs of abating and is in fact getting worse.
The House Ways and Means Committee issued a demand followed by a subpoena for Trump's tax returns. The White House, Treasury and IRS all refused to provide the returns on the basis that the House had no legitimate legislative purpose and was only requesting the information to harass the president. That matter is currently in litigation.
But Trump's enemies were not prepared to wait out the litigation. As reported in this article, the Democrat-controlled legislature in New York state and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo worked together to pass a new law that permits the New York tax authorities to hand over state tax returns upon the request of committees of the U.S. House.
Since state and federal tax returns contain many similar entries, this is a backdoor way to deliver Trump's personal tax returns to his enemies by using state returns instead of federal returns. Where there's a will, there's a way!
This New York state law provision may be unconstitutional under the U.S. Constitution as an illegal "bill of attainder." That's a law aimed at a single individual (Trump) rather than the population as a whole. No doubt, that argument will form the basis of even more litigation.
Even if the law is upheld, it's a signal to investors that your tax information is not safe in New York and if you are singled out as a political enemy, you can expect the same treatment. That's a good reason to avoid New York entirely when it comes to business expansion and new investment.
More to the point, it shows the war between Trump and his political enemies is now at a point where the federal government has become dysfunctional. That's a good reason to avoid stocks and risky assets while increasing allocations to cash, hard assets and private equity.

Microsoft disappoints Lumia users with failed upgrade
Microsoft breaks another upgrade promise to Nokia Lumia Windows 8 users
Microsoft made a public pledge that all of Nokia's Lumia Windows 8 devices would be upgraded to the mobile version of Windows 10, but that promise has now been broken.
This week, Microsoft began its Windows 10 Mobile rollout, but revealed handsets, such as Lumia 920 and Lumia 1020, will remains on Windows Phone 8. Despite Microsoft's website promising several devices would be "first" to upgrade, and that other devices would be "second", the company have now neglected the second wave of updates. Furthermore, third-party devices, such as Lumia Icon and Blu's Win JR LTE, have also been ditched.
The first batch of devices to receive the upgrade include; Lumia 1520, Lumia 930, Lumia 640, Lumia 640XL, Lumia 730, Lumia 735, Lumia 830, Lumia 532, Lumia 535, Lumia 540, Lumia 635 1GB, Lumia 636 1GB, Lumia 638 1GB, Lumia 430, Lumia 435 ,BLU Win HD w510u, BLU Win HD LTE x150q and MCJ Madosma Q501.
According to Microsoft, it is not guaranteed all devices running on Windows 10 Mobile will receive the final build.
"This list includes a limited set of Windows Phone 8.1 devices and does not include some devices that are currently running Windows 10 Mobile in the Windows 10 Mobile Insider program. As Windows 10 delivers significant new innovations, many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience. Our goal is to only offer the Windows 10 upgrade to devices that we are confident can continue to deliver a good customer experience."
Fans of Windows Phones took to Twitter to express their anger over another broken promise, which is bad news for the mobile operating system.

My fiance and I are huge fans of Pink, so when we found out last spring that she added St. Louis to her concert tour, we were ecstatic. We immediately bought the best tickets we could get (VIP pit) and then eagerly waited for almost eight months for the show.
|Blouse: New York & Company (Available here)
Jacket: Target (Available here)
Last month, Pink finally came to St. Louis, and she did not disappoint. The show was amazing with a line-up of her current songs and old favorites. Pink's acrobatic routines never cease to amaze me - especially because she sings while performing them.

Samsung has followed the lead of Nikon and Pentax by announcing a new camera this month in the body of the NX300M, a remake of the NX300.
October 2013 has been touted as an exciting month for photographers since earlier this year with numerous devices waiting to become official.
A lot of cameras are rumored to be unveiled this month and three of them are already official. After the Nikon D610 and the Pentax K-3, the Samsung NX300M has become official as a mirrorless camera with support for the NX-mount interchangeable lens system.
Samsung unveils NX300M with 3.31-inch 180-degree tilting AMOLED touchscreen
Prior to the launch of the NX300M, Samsung has posted the camera's manual on its website therefore photographers have already been aware that the device is on its way.
The shooter is a remake of the NX300, which has been announced earlier in 2013 before the Consumer Electronics Show.
Since it does not represent a major upgrade, there is only one change available for the users: the 3.31-inch AMOLED touchscreen is now tiltable by 180 degrees, up from 90 degrees.
Samsung NX300M borrows its specs and traits from its predecessor
Samsung NX300M is more suitable for taking portrait photos. Users can now properly frame their auto-portraits, which apparently is a must-have feature in South Korea, the manufacturer's home country.
Nevertheless, the specs of the camera are pretty decent, especially considering its price of 890,000 won, roughly $840, with an 18-55mm lens kit. To put things into perspective, the NX300 with a 20-50mm lens is available for $589 at Amazon.
It features a 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor, DRIMe IV image processor with up to 8.6 frames per second in continuous shooting mode, NFC connectivity, WiFi, maximum ISO sensitivity of 25,600, and 1920 x 1080 video recording.
South Koreans can already buy the mirrorless camera, rest-of-the-world availability is a no-show
The mirrorless camera is compatible with the entire NX-mount lens lineup. The list also includes the 45mm f/1.8 3D lens, which can capture 3D photos.
On the other hand, the Hybrid Phase-detection / Contrast-detection Autofocus technology should allow the Samsung NX300M to acquire focus very fast.
The shooter is already available in South Korea in black, white, and brown colors. US availability is unknown for the time being, though the device should cross the ocean in the coming weeks, just in time for holidays.

A Khmer dwelling on prime downtown riverside land has come back on the market, despite its widespread reputation as a haunted house.
The wooden house, surrounded by banana trees and garden, sits alongside the Siem Reap River near a pagoda in Beoung Dounpa village, Slorkram commune. The house was built in 2003 in traditional Khmer style by a Cambodian family.
But the family only enjoyed pleasant living in the house for the first month – after that male members of the family residing in the house began dying. A year after moving in, the family vacated the house and it has remained empty since 2004.
Hooch, a young boy, said he often heard strange sounds coming from within the allegedly haunted house.
"It's freaking scary for me to hear such things in the middle of the night," Hooch said, staring at the house.
"I remember one night when my dad had just come back from a wedding party, about midnight. I heard a lot of people talking to each other and laughing so loudly in the house. I think there were also a lot children running around in the house, but when I looked through the window, there was nothing there."
He added, "It was not only me who heard them talking. My family heard it also. And they [the spirits] sometimes do housework like humans, they clean their house and they communicate to their family members as we do."
He said that during Buddhist ceremonies such as Khmer New Year and Pchum Ben, he heard the sound of Khmer cakes being made and the sound of shuffling feet.
"It scares me almost to death," Hooch said. "The sounds are so horrible and at night the dogs whimper a lot. I dare not sleep alone."
Most people in the village firmly believe the house is haunted, but people are wary about poking around and asking too many questions.
Hooch's mother stared fixedly when asked about the house and advised that sometimes staying in our own worlds without crossing to other worlds is the best thing to do.
Speaking anonymously, she said, "If we don't bother them, they will never disturb us if we live in our world and they live in theirs."
Seven years ago, in 2003, when the family moved into the house, the men began dying. First the father died. Then a son-in-law, then an uncle, and then a son also died.
"The spirit takes only males," Hooch's mum explained. "All male members in this family died one by one. I think it's a woman ghost, but I've never seen a ghost at the house. I have only heard horrible sounds such as a woman singing for her baby, and it really freaks me out."
After the deaths, the family moved to another house and sold the haunted house to a rich woman in Phnom Penh.
Hooch's mother said, "The new owner rarely comes to see this wooden house. I don't know why, but she seems intent on keeping the house as original. She didn't change or rebuild anything. Last year, a group of monks went to the house and prayed for spirits to be reborn. After the praying, the sound of a woman singing for her baby vanished."
Cambodian people have a strong belief in ghosts and spirits. They believe that ghosts reside in empty houses and pagodas or near bridges.
Hooch's mother said that almost all households have a "spirit house" that looks like a tiny temple mounted on pillars.
"When people move into a new home they also build a spirit house to look over them in their living and keep mischief and danger away," she said. "This is a place for the spirits to dwell. No one wants them to become angry as they might come into the real house and start causing mischief, bad luck or bad health."
According to Hooch's mother, the Phnom Penh owner decided to sell the house because she has no time to come to Siem Reap to look after the building.
The house sits on a 20m x 150m block of land, totaling 3,000 square meters. The land is going for $450 per square meter, or $1, 350,000 all up..

Similar to how you can customize your homeowner's insurance policy to meet your unique needs, you're also able to customize a commercial insurance policy. Not all businesses are the same, so a standard policy may protect you from most events, but your specific business may be subject to other risks too. Not having an appropriate policy could result in lost wages, customers, data, and time, resulting in a catastrophic problem. If you want to chat with a knowledgeable professional about designing a customized commercial insurance policy for your business, contact Everett Insurance Group, proudly serving the Las Vegas, NV area.
Why a Custom Policy is Best
Loss control add-on coverage protects your business against potential risks based on your line of work and specific industry. Lost control services may reduce your risks and insurance premiums if you have to make a claim.
For example, lost control services are customizable based on your needs, including:
- Mechanical breakdowns of production equipment
- Pollution liability, which deals with costs involving pollution, such as personal injury or clean-up
- Business crime insurance protects you against losses from fraud, burglary, and employee dishonesty
- Business income insurance pays out lost revenues and expenses incurred if your business needs to relocate due to disasters, such as fire or wind damage
Other Types of Protection
If your business transports items across the water and land, inland marine protection protects mobile or moveable assets while they're in transit. For example, you would be covered if products are damaged while being transported from the warehouse to a storage unit or store.
Electronic data processing coverage deals with costs resulting from damaged or lost electronic data processing equipment or media.
There are many more available coverage types. Get in touch with Everett Insurance Group, proudly serving the Las Vegas, NV area, to find out which coverage is best suited for your business.

Kenneth W. Starr announced Wednesday that he would resign as chancellor of Baylor University, effective immediately, saying it was a "matter of conscience." Mr. Starr's decision came less than a week after he was stripped of the more operationally powerful position of president of the university in the wake of a scandal in which Baylor acknowledged that it had mishandled accusations of sexual assault against several football players.
"I have to, and I willingly do, accept responsibility," Mr. Starr told "Outside the Lines," the ESPN program in which he announced his decision.
"The captain goes down with the ship," he added.
But he also doubled down on a statement he released last week in which he said that he had been unaware of the beginning of what was later described as a widespread problem until last August, when a former football player was convicted of sexual assault.
Baylor Findings of Fact and Recommendations
An investigation found "fundamental failure" by the university in its handling of sexual assault accusations against football players.
While Mr. Starr is stepping down as chancellor, a role that a Baylor regent described last week as one focused primarily on raising money as well as on "religious liberty," he planned to retain his post as a tenured professor at Baylor's law school.
The scandal has also claimed the jobs of Art Briles, the successful head football coach, whom the Board of Regents fired last Thursday, and Ian McCaw, the athletic director, who resigned Sunday, days after the Regents had placed him on probation.
Mr. Starr said he had not been consulted on Mr. Briles's firing. He mixed some light condemnation of the coach, for failing to be a "stronger disciplinarian," with praise, calling him a "players' coach" and a "genius."
Before entering academia as dean of the Pepperdine University School of Law in 2004 and becoming president of Baylor, the country's largest Baptist university, in 2010, Mr. Starr was an independent counsel whose report to Congress led to President Bill Clinton's impeachment in 1998. Before that, he was the United States solicitor general and a federal judge.
At Baylor, Mr. Starr was credited with raising the university's national profile — along with hundreds of millions of dollars — in no small part by tying the university's national image to the recent success of its football team under Mr. Briles.
It was Mr. Starr who, nearly one year ago, ordered an internal investigation into the university's handling of a former player who was convicted of sexually assaulting another Baylor athlete.
That inquiry led Mr. Starr to recommend that Baylor hire outside lawyers to investigate Baylor's handling of such accusations more broadly. The board agreed, and it described the results of that investigation last Thursday in an executive summary that accompanied its decisions to demote Mr. Starr and to fire Mr. Briles.
The board said in a statement last week that the investigation had found that the university's climate flouted federal gender-equity laws, including Title IX. The board condemned a university leadership that, it said, "created a cultural perception that football was above the rules."

AbstractThis article describes fabrication of novel silica membranes derived via controlled oxidative thermolysis of polydimethylsiloxane and their gas separation performance. The optimized protocol for fabrication of the silica membranes is described and pure gas separation performance in the temperature range 35-80°C is presented. It is observed that the membranes exhibit activated transport for small gas penetrants such as He, H 2 and CO 2. The membranes can withstand temperatures up to 350°C in air and may ultimately find use in H 2/CO 2 separations to improve efficiency in the water-gas shift reactor process. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

[UPDATE: The item below on the April 15 hit-and-run fatality has been updated with additional details from the MPD]
Normally we're content to leave highway collisions and traffic updates to the myriad other news sites and papers around Maui (and Hawaii) that cover such things, but lately I've noticed my email inbox stuffed with Maui Police press releases containing the word "Fatal"–including one about a hit-and-run collision in North Kihei just last night.
Unless you haven't left the beach since March, it's impossible to miss the fact that in the last two weeks, Maui's roadways have degenerated into a demolition derby–with tragic results:
• On April 4, Clifford Spencer (63) of Kahului lost control of his Harley on Pi'ilani Highway in Kihei and hit the guardrail. He wasn't wearing a helmet and later died at Maui Memorial Medical Center.
• Two days later, on April 6, Jared Robello (23) climbed out of the cab of a Toyota Tacoma traveling on Kula Highway. He then fell out of the truck bed while the vehicle was in motion and soon after died of his injuries at Maui Memorial.
• On April 9, Burton Salas (24) of Wailuku was riding a Suzuki motorcycle on North Kihei Road near the Kealia Wildlife Reserve when he "failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway" and hit the guardrail. He was wearing a helmet, but still died at the scene.
• Shortly after 1am on April 12, a black Ford Ranger struck driven by a 28-year-old Kula resident struck Karl Hagen (61) of Kihei, who was riding a bicycle. Hagen was wearing a helmet, but later died of his injuries at Maui Memorial.
Things were so bad at this point–seven motor vehicle fatalities for the year, compared to just four in 2013–that the MPD sent out a press release on April 14 urging drivers to be safe. "The Maui Police Department is urging motorist[s] to slow down, buckle up, put their phones away and drive smart," read the statement from Lt. Ricky Uedoi, the MPD's Traffic Section Commander. "Speed is believed to be involved in at least three of the fatal crashes. Toxicology results are still pending to determine whether alcohol and or drugs contributed to any of the seven fatalities."
Still, the deaths continued…
• Just a few hours after Uedoi's statement went out on April 14, a car driven by a 78-year-old Kihei resident struck and killed Mary Fletcher (50) of Kahului, who was riding a moped at the time. Fletcher was stopped on Honoapi'ilani Highway, attempting to make a left turn into Puamana Beach Park, when she was hit. Though Fletcher was wearing a helmet, she later died of her injuries at Maui Memorial.
• And a little after 11pm on Tuesday, April 15, a Toyota truck struck and killed Viki Deardorff (51) of Kihei as she was walking northbound on Pi'ilani Highway, just south of the North Kihei Road intersection. The driver of the truck that hit Deardorff–which the MPD described as a "2012-2014 Toyota Tacoma bronze or khaki in color" with "fresh damages to the front passenger side grill, fender and headlight area"–fled the scene and remains at large.
Anyone seeing the truck allegedly used in the April 15 fatality is urged to contact the Maui Police Department Vehicle Homicide Unit at 808-244-6347 or Police Dispatch at 808-244-6400.
At this time in 2013, there were four motor vehicle fatalities on Maui. This year, there are nine.

Liverpool set for £15m bid for international goalkeeper to challenge Simon Mignolet
LIVERPOOL have contacted Galatasaray over a potential January move for ex-Manchester United target Fernando Muslera.
Fernando Muslera has become a stalwart member of the Galatasaray starting line-up
Jurgen Klopp has previously stated that he is happy with Simon Mignolet, but Adam Bogdan's blunder against Watford exposed the Reds' lack of depth in the goalkeeper position, and Muslera has marked himself out as one of Europe's best.
Manchester United enquired about the goalkeeper's availability over the summer as a replacement for David De Gea, but were told they would have to pay £35million for the Uruguayan.
And since De Gea ended up staying at Manchester, the interest from England died away.
However, it is Liverpool are now interested in Muslera according to reports in Turkey.
The 29-year-old has made 186 appearances for the Turkish Super Lig champions since signing in 2011 from Italian giants Lazio.
And Muslera was PFA Player of the Season in Turkey last season, sparking interest from all over Europe.
But Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has been effusive in his praise of his goalkeeper, and in his determination to hang on to him.

Radiometric spectrometers are able to measure and fully characterize the radiometric and photometric characteristics of light, while relative spectrometers are not able to fully, quantitatively characterize the radiometric response from a light source, thus they are less expensive. The spectrometer created in this research is able to measure and produce comparative lighting parameters as well as an actual radiometer spectrometer.

Many of these roles (e.g., victim, bully, bully-victim) are correlated with negative academic and social-emotional outcomes. Conversely, defending behavior has been positively correlated with good academic and social-emotional outcomes. Evidentially, students' involvement in bullying across the various roles may be differentially associated with their academic and emotional functioning. This study identified the latent bullying role profiles (combinations of behaviors across multiple bullying participant roles) in a sample of middle school students and explored the differences in student engagement and emotion regulation across the role profiles. Additionally, the current study examined the associations among five key bullying participant roles (bully, victim, defender, outsider, assistant) and student engagement and tested whether emotion regulation plays a mediating role in these associations. The role of gender was controlled in the associations among these variables. Three latent classes describing bullying role behavior were identified: Uninvolved students, Victim-Defenders, and Universally Involved students. Differences in emotion regulation difficulties and student engagement were found across groups. Difficulties in emotion regulation mediated the associations between student engagement and bullying, victimization, and outsider behavior, respectively. Advisors: Michelle K.

Although stylistically different, these tales are thematically similar; both are stories of adolescent sexual initiation and coming of age. Through the use of comical-grotesque imagery and subject matter, both authors were able to create narratives of alienation and loss, full of pathos, that underscore the humanity of their main characters. "The Bog Girl" tells the story of Cillian, an adolescent boy who accidentally unearths the perfectly preserved body of a young girl sacrificed in a peat bog during the Iron Age, in the wetlands of the European island where the story is set. Cillian falls immediately in love with her and brings her home with him. Rather than reacting towards the unconventional infatuation of her son with a mummified girl, the young man's mother anguishes over his loss of innocence and his gradual emotional detachment from her. Cillian is prepared to quit school, his mother, and the island to spend the rest of his life with the Bog Girl. But one night, the Bog Girl comes back to life. In spite of his longing for her, Cillian is horrified and panics. His mother commands him to take her back home. After a final, erotic embrace, the Bog Girl lets go of Cillian and slips into the bog water where she had been found, and her body disintegrates. In "Tiny Man," the narrator relates, in a series of oneiric-like vignettes, his encounters with a group of gangsters who are abusing and displaying around town the embalmed and miniaturized corpse of his father. Other vignettes have to do with Felicity, the underage lover of the narrator's father who is about the same age as the narrator was when the events took place. Although the narrator and his father move away to run from the legal consequences of having Felicity around, she finds their new place and keeps showing up looking for the father, who works far away and is never home. Eventually, the narrator and Felicity have sex. This creates a profound sense of guilt in the boy. He feels he has betrayed his father. He sets off on a journey to find his father and beg him to come back to Felicity. His is not only a geographic journey but also an introspective quest through the emotional void that existed between father and son.

In recent years, there have been advances in technology such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and air displacement plethysmography that has been used to categorize individuals into percent fat categories. However, there are still concerns with the validity of these devices. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the validity of the InBody 520, BodPod, and Hologic DEXA against hydrostatic weighing. METHODS: 32 male and 30 female subjects performed body composition testing using the InBody 520, BodPod, Hologic DEXA, and hydrostatic weighing. RESULTS: The constant error values and mean values for percent body fat were the highest amongst the DEXA compared to the InBody and BodPod. The InBody showed a non-significant relationship (p=0.11, p= 0.47, and p=0.26) between constant error values and percent body fat values for hydrostatic weighing for females, males, and all subjects respectively. The BodPod showed a significant negative relationship (p=0.04 and p<0.01) between constant error values and percent body fat from hydrostatic weighing but a non-significant negative relationship (p=0.16) for males. The DEXA showed a significant positive relationship (p <0.01 and p=0.05) between constant error and percent body fat for hydrostatic weighing for males and all subjects respectively. CONCLUSION: The BodPod underestimated individuals with less fat mass and overestimated individuals with more fat mass. The Hologic DEXA consistently overestimated percent fat in all individuals.

What is it like to spend 10 years researching, writing, filming, scripting, casting, editing and finally debuting your work for friends, family and complete strangers?
It was rather liberating. One of the funny things is that I don't really care what they thought. Some came up to me and talked about what they didn't like. I just smiled but seriously didn't care. Don't be confused. I wanted to know what they thought but at the same time their opinions did not bum me out or cause self-doubt to invade my fragile ego.
I am proud of this film. I believe it tells a good story because it is based on the journal writings of those who actually went through this ordeal. We spent hours, days, and weeks trying to find visuals that could represent their words and do justice to their lives. I believe it is amazing.
That is not to say there aren't things I would like to change or make better, but at some point you have to move on. I have to move on. I think I am weird. I enjoyed the process more then the end result. Kind of like it's all about the journey and not the destination.
For me, I like the journey. So….journey on!

Three years of El Nino-induced drought and flooding left half of Malawi's population dependent on food aid, but this year, the country is reporting a good maize harvest. Malawi's government banned the export of maize and maize products in 2015 amid food shortages.
But now things are changing.
Latest crop production estimates by the Ministry of Agriculture show that maize production will rise to 3.2 million tons, up from last year's 2.3 million tons.
The surplus has already sent local selling prices tumbling. The Farmers Union of Malawi said in a statement that "maize prices in the eastern region of Africa range from $300 to $700 per metric ton." Farmers say that is almost triple what local buyers offer.
"They should lift the export ban on maize," says Felix Jumbe, a commercial maize farmer in central Malawi. "That would unlock the prices that are too low at the moment. Because K50, K30 per kilogram is equally stealing from farmers by vendors."
The government insists that the food security situation remains uncertain and it will not lift the export ban on maize.
Jumbe, who is also the chairperson for the Alliance for Commodity Trade in East and Southern Africa, says if anything, there is a need for a compromise via ADMARC, the national grain marketer, or NFRA, the National Food Reserve Agency.
"I would suggest that the government should buy all the maize through ADMARC or NFRA at an export parity price – the same price that they would export – then the farmers will have the money and the government will have the stock," Jumbe says.
The government says it does not have the funds to do that.
"I am sure you are aware that in 2002 we were in a similar situation," notes Joseph Mwanamveka, Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism. "We had surplus maize and we never kept, and then we sold the maize to Kenya. And then we ended up in a shortfall and then we were looking around to buy back the maize that we sold."
Mwanamveka says this time, the government will have to assess the situation before allowing exports.
"There are surveys that need to be done and establish how much we keep in strategic grain reserve and how much should we export. We have not reached that stage yet," he says. "So once it has been established that we have enough, not only for this year, because people are just looking for this year, we will be able to allow exports."
Rafik Hajat, the executive director of the Blantyre-based research organization Institute for Policy Interaction, says the government is right to be cautious. Hajat recommends the ban remain in place until the National Food Reserve has stocked at least a two-year supply of maize.
"We have no guarantee that we will have rains next year. We haven't implemented [an] irrigation scheme as planned. So I am reminded of the dream that the pharaoh had in Egypt of seven years of plenty and followed by seven years of starvation," Hajat says.
The Farmers Union of Malawi warns that the low price farmers are currently fetching for their maize could leave them at risk of hunger and deepening poverty as they will have to sell larger quantities of their harvests this year to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, the government has deployed the military in all border districts to enforce the export ban. Malawi's president, Peter Mutharika, made the order two months ago after police in northern Malawi impounded over 30 trucks loaded with maize intended for illegal export to neighboring Tanzania.

Today's session of The New York Wedding Workshop was a hit. We had a lovely crowd of brides-to-be who were all in the throes of their decor planning and looking for the behind-the-scenes tips on high style for great value.
Sharon Schuster played host in her absolutely breathtaking photography studio and so graciously photographed every minute of our session. Thank you, Sharon, for all of the beautiful pictures to follow.
To illustrate some of my top decor tips, I designed two sample tabletops with some of the palettes of the moment... the first in silver/yellow/white and the second in navy/fuchsia/white. Both designs represent reasonably priced ways to make a huge impact with your tabletop design.
Yvonne Wong, the mastermind behind Double Happiness Creations, was on-hand to advise our "students" on how to incorporate their design ideas into their wedding stationery as well as how to find inspiration for their wedding design. Yvonne also contributed her beautiful menu and table number designs to accent our sample tables. My heartfelt thanks for your many invaluable contributions to this event!
Last, but certainly not least, a shout-out to my friend and videographer extraordinaire Seth David Cohen for joining us this morning to capture me in action. I look forward to seeing the footage and editing a great PR piece. I can't wait to work with Seth again soon on a fabulous wedding or party!
The New York Wedding Workshop is on haitus until "engagement season" is again underway in the fall, but pleae be in touch if you are interested in any of the events that we host so that I can get an idea of what sessions will be in demand going forward. See you then!

How Petplan handles claims
Paying pet insurance claims is our claim to fame.
As pet parents, we understand first hand that big vet bills can break more than the bank; they can potentially break your heart.
Not only is everyone who works at Petplan a proud pet lover, all our licensed claims adjusters are also fully-trained veterinary professionals. That means that anyone at Petplan handling claims can speak your vet's language. This helps us process your claims swiftly and accurately, reimbursing you the fullest amount possible.
How we handle claims:
Processing your paperwork
Claims are entered into our system (and visible on your online portal) within one business day of being received. Providing your claim form is completed and signed, and we have all the supporting invoices and two years medical history, your claim will be forwarded to our licensed adjusters for assessment.
Assessing your claim
One of our licensed adjusters will review the claim for your pet's treatment. If we are missing any supporting materials for your claim, we will send you an email notifying you that your claim needs attention before it can be processed. In order to assess a claim, we require full medical records from any veterinarian who has treated your pet. The status of your claim in your policyholder account will note that attention is required. Items which could delay your claim include: unsigned claim forms, missing invoices, proof of payment for your pet's treatment and incomplete medical records.
Paying your claim
Providing we have all of the necessary claims documents (signed claim form and all supporting invoices, receipts and medical records) and your pet's treatment is coverable under the terms and conditions of your pet health insurance policy, your claim will be immediately forwarded for reimbursement. We will compute any applicable co-pay and deductible(s). We will then make our reimbursement to you within thirty (30) days from our receipt of all required information. A statement showing the basis for our reimbursement will be available through your online account or upon request. This will include the effect of the co-pay and deductible calculations, deducted non-coverable items and any maximum annual policy coverage, if applicable.
Does pet insurance pay the vet directly?
Since most veterinarians require payment upfront, almost all pet insurance plans are reimbursement-based, meaning you are required to pay your veterinary bill upfront and submit for reimbursement from your pet insurance provider.
Petplan can also pay your veterinarian directly. We're willing to send any eligible reimbursement directly to your veterinary clinic as long as your veterinarian agrees.
We will need written approval from both parties (you and your veterinary clinic). Your veterinarian's correspondence (digital or otherwise) must show it is directly from the vet clinic (example firstname.lastname@example.com) or on their official letterhead. Once we receive this, policyholders can file their claim with their invoice showing the total balance due and we'll send any eligible reimbursement directly to the vet. The policyholder will still owe any copay or deductible needed.

text: LevelsAdvanced cultures typically have multiple worlds to organize the universe. These worlds are typically linked with levels (e.g. of reality, of being) or planes of existence and linked with types, degrees and stages of knowledge, physical and spiritual development. These are typically linked with initiation and frequently with 7 stages in the evolution of man and 7 stages of initiation. The SUMS Philosophy applies the idea of levels to Levels of Choices and especially Levels of Knowledge (Choices 03). Methodologically this is significant because it transforms the notion of simple hyperlinks into Multi-Level Hyperlinks which permit users to use a single term to access a whole range of levels with different degrees of detail or granularity. Levels are dicussed in LEcture: 30b:Shared Universals: Rebirth

Sherborne House; 14) Water Music I; 15) Here Comes The Flood; 16) Water Music II; 17) Postscript.
General verdict: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the latest musical digest from your local chef, Mr. Robert Fripp.
It is a tad reassuring to know that Robert Fripp is, after all, a creature of flesh and blood and not some sort of super-robot who always knows things better than you and is completely aware of all his goals and tasks at any given moment. If you listen to Red, or if you listen to Discipline, you will probably not get that feeling. But Exposure, Robert's first solo album, released at a time when King Crimson still seemed like a thing of the past and the future of music in general and Fripp in particular was more than a bit blurry, is an amusing mess — one that probably would not make much sense outside of its historical context, but is an obligatory must-hear if you ever wondered about all the empty space in between Mark '74 and Mark '81 King Crimson, and about whether it was truly empty in the first place.
In reality, Fripp kept himself seriously busy throughout the second half of the Seventies. The emerging punk and New Wave scene, as much as they confused some of the earlier rockers, re-invigorated his own passion for discovery, and in this he shared a common interest with such venerated colleagues as Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, and Peter Hammill — all of whom, unsurprisingly, are featured on this album. He'd spent plenty of time working on Eno's and Gabriel's projects — and even more time dwelling in New York, absorbing the local scene. He made a lot of friends in those years, too, which almost seems odd, given the man's personal reputation; yet he was able to get on with pop bands like Blondie the same way he could get with haughty art-rockers. In the end, the amount and variety of collaborative talent on Exposure is overwhelming: Eno, Gabriel, and Hammill represented in the same space with Daryl Hall (of Hall & Oates), Terre Roche (of The Roches), and XTC's Barry Andrews.
Thematically, the album was supposed to be the third part of a «trilogy» that also included Hall's Sacred Songs and Peter Gabriel's second album — with Fripp as the creative glue to join them all, and the main ideology declared as spreading progressive and challenging ideas through the medium of the short pop song, something that Robert obviously held in disdain during the first five years of King Crimson, but which was now coming back and relegating the lengthy suites and stretched-out improv jams to the dustbin of history. However, all these albums still reflect the character of their primary artists more than any sort of common ideology — and Exposure, in particular, serves as an important missing link between 1974 and 1981 far more than it serves as the logical completion of something that began as ʽSacred Songs' and went on as ʽOn The Air'.
We do have Fripp integrating with Hall and Gabriel far closer than one would expect from a solo Fripp album. In particular, ʽYou Burn Me Up I'm A Cigarette', the second track and first song-like song on the album, is the last thing we'd expect on that album — a glammified Fifties-style rocker with Jerry Lee Lewis-like piano and, seemingly intentionally, not a single original musical idea (except for a tiny bit of sonic weirdness in the mid-section). And ʽHere Comes The Flood' was not even co-written by Fripp — it is a straightahead Peter Gabriel original that had been released on his first album, in the form of a bombastic power ballad; here it is taken in a stripped-down piano demo form that I actually like more, but that still does not make it anything like a Fripp song (although he contributes some Frippertronics in the background).
Ultimately, Exposure is not so much about King Crimson or Robert Fripp as it is something of a «general musical landscape circa 1979 as observed through the eyes of a clever and slightly weird British gentleman». That landscape is definitely not free from the influence of a certain disbanded outfit that used to be known as King Crimson — for instance, the instrumental ʽBreathless' is built on a riff that is itself just a slight variation on the ʽRed' riff — but against that landscape, that outfit is just one piece of rock out of many. Some are ridiculously old, like the rockabilly of ʽYou Burn Me Up'; some are antiquated-modernized, like ʽMary', a neo-folk tune co-written by Fripp and Hall and sung by Terry Roche in a startlingly Joni Mitchell-like manner; some are openly modernistic, like the title track, a slow funk groove with Krautrock-influenced synthesizers moaning and groaning in the background; and some point the way to the future, like the arpeggiated guitar intro to ʽI May Not Have Enough' — which sounds like something straight out of any King Crimson album circa 1981-84.
I do not think there is any persistent theme to Exposure other than, well, «exposure» of all that pulsating musical life in 1979 — and Fripp does a great job pasting together all these elements (and did I mention ambient yet? I don't think I mentioned ambient, but there's plenty of it here, particularly towards the end, with stuff like ʽUrban Landscape' and ʽWater Music'). The album will never stand as a masterpiece in its own right, but it is a masterpiece of the art of previewing: nearly each single track acts like an excellent «sample» of a separate musical paradigm, and together, they celebrate musical diversity like no other record from the New Wave era that I know of — primarily because, for all their importance, most New Wave artists worked strictly within one specific paradigm.
On the level of individual songs or amazing technical bits, I have little to recommend: the record is very even, and for every track here, you can easily find something that's better in the same vein — it is useless to disentangle Exposure and decide which of its bits would work best on a representative Frippology collection. (Case in point: ʽNorth Star' is a nice ballad, lovingly sung by Hall, but it is rendered quite superfluous by the soon-to-come ʽMatte Kudasai' in the same vein). Perhaps ʽBreathless' is the one track here that would be most important to KC historians, as it really sounds like an attempt to re-do ʽRed' in a style that closely approaches Eighties' King Crimson — with electronically treated guitars and even more «angular» chord changes. But as an indivisible, multi-colored experience, let alone an experience that nobody expected from Fripp in 1979 and that can still take some Crimheads by surprise even today, Exposure is just a lot of fun from an epoch when making new music could still be a tremendously exciting and unpredictable kind of enterprise.

Christie's fake Tucker court case underway in Australia
Christie's fake Tucker court case underway in Australia
Christie's is in court over claims it sold a fake Bert Tucker painting in 2000
A court case is underway in Australia over claimsa Bert Tucker painting sold through Christie's isfake.
Louise McBride, a barrister based in Sydney, bought the painting for around $80,000 in 2000 - but when she tried to resell it she was informed it was almost certainly counterfeit.
The lawsuit is taking place in Sydney
Despite this, the house refuses to provide a refund - despite refunding the Australia Club for buying a Tucker forgery that same year.
Australia has a significant problem with forgeries, with some estimates stating that they make up around 30% of the market.
