Modeling contract agreement, In the word of property laws and contracts, there's a situation where the property right to perform under a contract can be bought and sold. Courts will differentiate between the assignment of your right to get performance from another party, and the delegation of your duty to execute a contractual promise. By way of example, if you are in a position of the landlord under an apartment rental agreement, you have an option of delegating the right to receive the monthly rental payment to another party.
In this case, you are not delegating your initial duty to maintain the property well functioning. On the flip side, if you're in a position of tenant, you have an option of delegating your obligation to create a monthly rental payment for your replacement tenant. And at exactly the same time it is still possible to assign your right to reside in the apartment.
There's a difference between those cases. If you assigned your rights to another party, then you do not have them anymore. However as soon as you delegate your responsibilities, you may not be entirely from the obligations as you thought initially. In case the substitute tenant fails to pay the rent, it's still possible for the landlord to contact you and collect any outstanding amount of payment from you. If you don't like this term, then there is a means of altering this standard legal principle on the written rental agreement forms.
When the contract rights and duties are assigned or delegated between related parties, there are some exceptions to those rules which may be used in particular circumstances. One of those examples could be that the parties to a contract could specifically agree that no such assignment or delegation is permitted. In other cases, some contracts make the rights and responsibilities nontransferable.
Even if most people today use the term contract assignment to be considered as both the assignment of rights and the delegation of duties, if you are aspiring to delegate a duty then it's always a good idea to write it down especially. And if you wish to be out of the designated duty of performing the responsibilities, you should be released from that obligation by the person who is entitled to receive the functionality that has been written down on the record of contract arrangement.

The 2017-2018 edition (46th ed) of the ARRL Repeater Directory® has sold out.
The 2017-2018 edition (46th ed) of the ARRL Repeater Directory®, introduced in April, has sold out. Some ARRL publication dealers and online resellers may have remaining copies of the current edition, which was the first edition to use data supplied from "crowdsourcing" technology. Crowdsourcing is a means of using data gathered from public resources. Data for the Repeater Directory was supplied by ARRL partner RFinder, the creator of a web- and app-based directory of Amateur Radio repeaters worldwide. RFinder's data is provided by users, repeater owners, and volunteer frequency coordinators.
"This is a great milestone for the Repeater Directory," said ARRL Marketing Manager Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R. "We know users still value having a printed, portable copy of the directory in-hand, and we've given them a better and more complete snap shot of the repeaters that are on the air."
The 2017-2018 edition has 31,000+ listings — 10,000 more than the previous edition. Produced annually, The ARRL Repeater Directory® includes listings for Amateur Radio repeaters throughout the US and Canada, organized by state/province, city, and operating mode. Analog and digital repeater systems are included: FM, FUSION, D-STAR, DMR, NXDN, and P25 systems. The next edition will be introduced in 2018 (no additional details at this time).
An annual subscription to RFinder provides immediate access to its worldwide database of repeater frequencies and related data.

Looks aside, the X6HRT is teeming with features, many of which I had to play with in
order to understand. And after messing with it for a week, I still haven't
fully taken advantage of all its capabilities yet. There are five main
modes: time, chrono, hiking, weather, and compass. Each mode features its
own settings and menus and submenues, so getting around was cumbersome at
first. But after a few hours of playing with the 5 buttons that control
navigation, I could find my way around the menus smoothly.
Each mode is denoted by a small icon on the side of the
watch face (shown above), and the function you are currently accessing is
highlighted by a small black semi-circle. For example, in the picture
above the X6HRT is in "time" mode. You can also see from the picture that
the X6HRT's screen allows for three lines of large text. The contrast
isn't outstanding in the picture, but in real life the screen is crystal
clear and highly readable.Time mode is kind of like the X6HRT's
home base. Here you can glance at the time and date in the first two lines
as well as alternate between day of week, secondary time and seconds in
the third line. Its also in time mode that you can configure the watches
settings under five submenues: general, units, alarm, time, and date.
Controls such as enabling/disabling tones, icon configurations, and sensor
calibration are under the general tab, while under units you can switch
from imperial to metric measurements in respect to distance, pressure, and
rate. It should be obvious what the alarm, time, and date functions are
for.Chrono mode is where users can access the heart rate computer.
In this mode, the first two lines of text are altitude and time splits.
Besides obvious chronograph functions like stop watch and time split
abilities, the X6HRT can wireless transmit, display, and record heart rate
With a built in receiver, it connects to an included heart
rate strap to measure heart rate data in real time. You can check your
current heart rate at any time by glancing at the watch; it is displayed
on the third line. All of this data, including altitude as well as peak
heart rates are stored for later analysis. You can also set an alarm to go
off once your heart rate rises above a certain threshold. Hiking
mode displays rate of ascent/descent, altitude (in feet or meters), and a
customizable third row that shows statistics such as altitude difference
and cumulative ascent data. All of this information is saved in a logbook,
which stores "cumulative ascents and descents, average ascent and descent
rates, highest and lowest points, heart rate and specific marks you can
set during the trip," according to Suunto. Your can configure and store up
to twenty logbooks, each holding a maximum of 168 hours of data, before
the X6HRT stops recording. Users can sync all of this information to their
computers.Then there is weather mode. In this screen, users can
access a wealth of important information regarding their surrounding
environmental conditions. The main screen displays the temperature (in
Celsius or fahrenheit) and pressure (in hectopascals or mercury measure)
for quick reference. Unfortunately, the Suunto menus says that for
temperature measurements to be accurate, the watch has to be kept away
from the body for 15 minutes. Their explanation, that your body
temperature against the watch skews results, is reasonable, but the fact
that getting a temperature reading requires removing the watch for a
quarter of an hour is frustrating. Also in weather mode is an alarm
capability that will set off the X6HRT's alarm if pressure drops below a
certain point. Finally, the memory function records weather data for the
last 48 hours and saves it for later viewing or syncing.Lastly,
Compass mode is where users can calibrate and utilize the X6HRT's built-in
compass. You can configure the altitude and slope, as well as access a
useful function that allows you to set checkpoints and then track back to
them later via compass. Calibrating the compass is easy; all it involves
is rotating the watch on a fixed plane (essentially standing in place and
turning around in a circle while holding the watch) until it is satisfied
that it has its bearings right. However, keep in mind that activating
compass mode will disrupt heart rate reception.
One of the main selling points of the X6HRT however, comes
from Suunto's data analysis software, the "Suunto Activity Manager."
Installation was quick, and dumping all of my data onto my PC was smooth.
Just connect the sync cable and in minutes you'll be looking
at data being dumped onto your computer. This data includes heart rate
information, statistics stored in logbooks, altitude, rates, and just in
general a bunch of recorded numbers that the activity manager reads and
projects into graphs. You can see your heart rate increase and decrease in
correlation to altitude, as well as analyze peak rates and elapsed time.
Unfortunately, the software is marred by a functional but spartan
interface, something that has plagued Suunto products for some time. If
anything, a better program design that's more appealing and user-friendly
would make the whole experience of uploading and analyzing data a lot less

Intel to Cut 12,000 Employees Globally
Tech giant Intel going to cut up to 12,000 people from its staff globally, which is about 11% of its workforce, the company announced Tuesday.
As of the end of year 2015, Intel employed more than 107,300 staff members.
Intel said most of the employees affected by the layoffs will be notified in the next 60 days, while some of the cuts may happen through mid-2017.
Intel (INTC, Tech30) is and has been the largest computer chipmaker in the world. The company bet heavily on the stability of the PC business years ago, and its microprocessors have dominated the PC industry.
But the company has failed to replicate that success across mobile devices that have now replaced traditional desktops and laptops.
Nearly 60% of Intel's sales and profits came from its microprocessor and chip business, which means that any changes to the PC business have a big impact on Intel's bottom line.
The company says it expects to save $750 million this year and $1.4 billion by the middle of next year from the job cuts and related expense reductions.
At the same time, Intel said it plans to invest more in "growing" areas of its business, such as convertible laptop-tablet devices, as well as gaming.
Intel also said it wants to invest more in its data center and Internet of Things businesses.
Shares of Intel were down about 3% on the report.
The company reported $13.7 billion in sales last quarter, up 7% from last year, and profits of $2 billion, up 3%.
Sales in Intel's microprocessor and chip division rose 2% to $7.5 billion over last year, but dipped 14% from last quarter.
The Internet of Things group reported 22% growth to $651 million, while the data center division logged a 9% increase to $4 billion.

I am having a Trades of Hope facebook party. It's through my own personal page, not Wear Your Vitamins. It profits artisans all over the world that have been delivered from lives of slavery, trafficking, and extreme poverty. I have never been able to emotionally escape the facts of the horrible slave trade or sex trade, so instead I advocate for these women, children and sometimes men or families as often as possible. It just makes sense that I, a girl who loves beauty, purses, and other feminine fashion and household works of art would use this as another avenue to help and promote the cause of organizations who are actively rescuing human beings from exploitation.
Check out this wish-list Sonia Striped Bag, perfect for summer:
The Sonia bag is made by lepers in Bethany Leper Colony whose lives are being changed with dignity and love. When you buy this bag, you are giving hope for a new life.
And these stunning delicate earrings! I love them.
These tri leaf earrings are created by young women in impoverished villages to prevent them from being tricked into the sex trade or sweatshops. When you buy these earrings, you are empowering women and preventing horrific abuse.
Wish that jewelry was a normal and necessary business expense!
The necklaces are made by women who are trafficked to the US from other countries promised jobs as actresses and dancers, but tricked into a vicious cycle of sexual abuse. These girls have been delivered from the industry and receive aftercare, counseling and life skill training. When you buy this necklace, you are empowering women and facilitating healing and restoration.
These are just some of my favorites! There is so much more at my Shop to End Injustice Trades of Hope Online Event. Check it out! 🙂 It lasts until June 15th.
Let me know if you have any questions. By the way, you can buy these things even after my event is over, but you'll have to find someone having a Trades of Hope event.

Family First Consulting
In 2018, Congress fundamentally changed how the federal government funds child welfare programs. The Family First Prevention Services Act (Family First) alters federal Title IV-E funding in big and small ways, including making foster care prevention services claimable for the first time ever and restricting claiming for residential foster care settings. Family First has implications for state and local child welfare practice, policy, processes, procurement, financing, and information technology. PCG helps states take decisive action in response to Family First, seizing opportunities and working through challenges, to the benefit of state agencies and the children and families they serve.
Non-Profit Consulting
Our consulting experts work with non-profit child welfare and child and family services organizations on a range of issues to ensure program and financial best practices, achievement of performance goals, and optimal public-private services coordination.
Parental Substance Use Disorder, Increasing Child Welfare Caseloads
Our team can help you identify evidence based practices that lead to recovery from Substance Use Disorder (SUD), facilitate cross agency collaboration, and identify federal funding to increase services and capacity in under served areas.
Program Evaluation
PCG evaluates specific programs, services, and casework tools. Data are collected through interviews, focus groups, document reviews, site visits, surveys and from a variety of management information systems. We have evaluated a range of programs including wraparound programs, differential response programs, parenting programs, and home visiting programs to name just a few, including programs funded under Title IV-E child welfare waivers.
Title IV-E Case Reviews
PCG is a national expert in Title IV-E regulation and eligibility determination guidelines. We can help you navigate ongoing determination processes, ensure federal compliance with your case reviews, and help enhance your Title IV-E revenue.
Workload Studies
Workload is an ongoing issue for many public agencies. While case workers are often assigned more cases than they can reasonably handle, understanding the true resource need can be challenging. PCG has developed techniques for providing the empirical evidence agencies can use to back up their requests. By showing the difference between the time workers spend on cases and the time they need to spend to meet policy requirements, PCG is able to provide agency administrators with hard data that can be used both politically and administratively.

If anyone here is familiar with the show "Bitchin' Rides" they started work on a '64 Eldo on the episode that aired last night (12/5). I really like the show and they build some amazing custom $$$$ cars.
They didn't do nearly as much custom work on the Caddy as they normally do. Of course that means that the styling needs no improvement, right? It did get an LS engine and an interesting coil-over/hydraulic suspension that allowed adjustment to the ride height through hydraulics and not air ride.
Lots of footage of the car being disassenbled and quite a few shots of various components that many here will recognize. The body went onto a rotisserie for paint. The quality of the paint and bodywork is amazing. They did not finish the work and the car was put away at the end of the episode to be finished later.
It aired on Motor Trend Network and I am sure it will be rerun if anyone wants to take a look.

Berry Progress
Last night I suggested we take a family walk, to the woods. Hmmmm....yes, well, to check the progress on the berries.
Sure enough, the mulberries were in. We all had one to taste. Yuk! I'm not sure what happened this year -- too much rain and not enough sun? Anyway, the mulberries tasted like rain water - no taste at all. We decided to leave them for the birds.
Next we checked the progress of what I think will be black rasberries. There seem to be quite a few bushes, and I'm just eager for that time when they'll all turn a lovely purple. Hopefully we'll get some before all the little wood creatures do away with all the rest!
And now I'm off to hit the town and a whole list of shops. Today's the day for the BIG shop for the weekend's festivities. The first family members arrive in today with more following in the next two days. There will be 35+ total! We can't wait to see everyone!

You are very brave to eat wild berries! But I guess you probably know what to look for, unlike me. :)
Your herbs look great! This year I decided to just do one lonely basil. So far so good here too. Maybe I'll do more next year ...

Oh, for Scotland and a good berry patch! Remember mulberry picking with David Winslow! Ha! What a laugh!
I hope all goes well with your family this weekend!

Hi Heather,
How's your busy weekend going?
Wuthering Heights is... interesting. My mother told me when I was growing up not to read it - but I decided at 36 it was safe enough to read it now. It's a good yarn, but very somber, sad and a little spooky. I heard a Dickens expert say once that the classics shouldn't be read by you for the first time, but you should hear them read to you - so if you can find it on audio, you might enjoy it better.
The story says more about Emily Bronte's mind and character than anything else, I think. There are a few really likeable characters in it.
Hope you're having a fun time this weekend. I've been thinking about you.

I love berry picking too - we scrambled over the rocks at Slaughterhouse Lake every summer picking wild blueberries and being chased by bears. Oh, the memories! Now, wild North country berries are $30 for a 4 quart basket - no one wants to trouble picking any longer. I hope that the berries will be ready when we head North this summer to mum and dad's so that the children can scramble over the rocks in search of berries - hopefully, no bears!
Thanks for praying for me - I am coming out of the fog - I know you know just what it is like to be tired of being tired and sick of being sick - such is chronic illness.
Leaning hard on Jesus!

Although iMessage is not available for Android phones and tablets, it hasn't stopped developers from coming up with workarounds. A new app called AirMessage allows users to use their Mac as a server to use iMessages on Android. The best thing about this workaround is that users don't have to login to any third-party service and the connection is directly established between their Mac and Android device. The difficult thing is setting up the whole system which includes a server, port forwarding, dynamic DNS and managing an always-on Mac.
iMessage has been attempted before on Android through apps like wemessageapp.com so this is not the first time. It is also not clear if AirMessage will be available for long since such apps get cease and desist letters very quickly from Apple. After all, iMessage is one of the best features of iOS and Mac and it does not really have much competition out there when you compare its features with others.
AirMessage lets you send and receive attachments, read receipts, stickers and even message effects. Users can also participate in group conversations. The design also looks a lot like how iMessage would officially look like on Android. All these features give AirMessage feature parity with the original iMessage app on iOS, without the ability to download and install messaging apps.
This is how AirMessage works:
- Download and install the server on your Mac and create a password.
- Allow permissions from Settings to the server.
- Disable auto-sleep on your Mac as it has to always stay on for AirMessage to work. You can install apps like Caffeine that prevent your Mac form going to sleep, even if you close the lid on your portable Mac.
- Setup networking connectivity by figuring out your IP address, configuring port forwarding on your router and using a dynamic DNS service to automatically handle IP address changes. If you have a static IP address, you will not need the dynamic DNS service.
- Final step: download and install AirMessage app on your Android phone and connect using your server address and password.
Here is a video tutorial by AirMessage:
The steps seem daunting, don't they? The process is not easy, specially for users who have advanced technical knowledge. If iMessage and its blue bubbles are so important to you, it is better to get an iPhone. Considering that it requires a Mac to work and you don't get features like Continuity and Hand-off, the real deal might serve you better.
Otherwise, you can give AirMessage a try to get iMessage on your Android smartphone. Your mileage may vary.

The daily grind of being a two-career family with kids can be tiring, stressful and expensive; many families with young children would prefer living on one income so they can spend more time with their kids while saving money on daycare.
Living on one income often seems like an impossible dream. It's hard for many parents to figure out how to give up the security of a second paycheck. But the truth is, with careful planning and some short-term sacrifices, living on one income is more possible than you might think.
Here are seven ways your family can learn to live with less money:
1. Pay off Debt First
It's hard to live on one income if you're making big debt payments each month. Try to pay off your credit card debt, student loans and car payments before you take the leap of living on one income.
2. Get a Mortgage That is Affordable on One Income
Living on one income might require you to downsize your house or move to a lower-cost neighborhood. Consider whether moving is a possibility and whether you could find a more affordable option.
3. Try to Get by With One Car
When you're a two-career household, that often means two commutes — and, in most American cities, that means two cars. If you have a parent who's home full-time with the kids, it's harder to afford two car payments. So be prepared to sacrifice: Could your family get by with one car? Could the parent who works outside the home start taking some form of public transit? Could the stay-at-home parent drive the other to work in the mornings? Are there other transportation options like carpooling or ride-sharing apps to get around town when needed, instead of paying for a second car?
4. Save Money on Food
Living on one income means you're going to need to cut back on restaurant meals and takeout, and start cooking dinner at home more often. And that's fine. Cooking at home is a great way to save money on your monthly food budget. Get a membership at a warehouse retailer and buy food in bulk. Plan meals ahead of time and buy two weeks' worth (or more) of groceries per trip. Cook a week's worth of meals in advance and freeze your weekly dinners so that they're ready to warm up in the oven or in the microwave — you might find that cooking at home can actually saves time as well as money.
5. Enjoy Free Entertainment
Instead of spending lots of money on going to movies, bars and other live entertainment, start looking for free options for entertainment. The good news is, there are lots of great options. Spend time at public parks, riverwalks, beaches and other public spaces. Check with your local city for free museum admission days, free outdoor concerts and other fun activities that won't cost money. Instead of paying for an expensive monthly gym membership, go for walks in the neighborhood or push your baby in a jogging stroller on a public bike path.
6. Save Money by Quitting Your Job
Having two jobs can cost money — think of all of the costs of having a job: daycare expenses, taxes, commuting expenses (gasoline, wear and tear on your vehicle), clothing expenses, lunches out during the workweek. Living on one income could be more affordable than you might think.
7. Embrace a New Mindset
If you want to start living on one income, sit down and do some financial planning. Make a budget and figure out how much money you'll have coming in and going out after giving up that second income.
Be prepared to embrace frugal living, think creatively and be open to living differently — with a bit less convenience or comfort than when you had two incomes.
If you really want to have a parent home full-time, with some thoughtful money management, it can be done. And you may find that, aside from a few conveniences or fun material things, you won't miss that second paycheck much at all.

How can I help you?
Professional Airbnb, Property and Commercial Photographer in Edinburgh Scotland
I'm a professional Airbnb, property, commercial and wedding photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Ten years ago I started out as a wedding photographer but as time progressed I've also done a lot of property photography, car photography and food photography as well as capturing many events, photographing two cook books and all kinds of other things.
I work as a full time professional photographer and surprisingly to many my day to day job is photographing cars for companies like Land Rover and Jaguar. I was headhunted for this in 2012 and it's a job that's changed a lot but I love it because I get to drive most of the cars I photograph. I've also worked for companies like Tripadvisor, where I photographed and reviewed hotels all around Scotland, and Deliveroo, from which I photographed restaurants and their food. All of these jobs have lead to exciting opportunities both past, present and future and I really love my job.
Edinburgh is also a really amazing city to work and live in. I love capturing weddings and Edinburgh is easily one of the most beautiful cities in the world for wedding photography. Amongst the wedding photography Edinburgh venues I have worked in are Lothian Chambers, Dalhousie Castle, The Rowantree and the Caves, the Glasshouse Hotel, the G&V Hotel, Scotsman Hotel, Prestonfield, Edinburgh Castle and many more. You can find out more about my wedding photographer Edinburgh services here as well as my wedding photography packages.
There's a lot of information throughout this website and it's all very easy to find. Whether you're enquiring about a wedding, need an event photographing or even have a property for which you need stills or virtual tours (or both) then there's a section for this. There is also information about prices, wedding packages and lots of articles about weddings and other things I have photographed.
Finally at the bottom of this page you'll see links for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I tend not to update Twitter too often but do check out my Facebook and Instagram pages, I post all kinds of things including promotions, funny videos, inspirational things and all sorts. Hope you enjoy your time on this website and do get in contact if you have any questions. So welcome to my website - Chris Radley Photography - Wedding and Commercial Photographer Edinburgh.

Odisha: Clash Between Police & Locals Over DJ
**Bhadrak:** In an uncanny incident, a clash ensued between the locals of Dhamnagar and the police over the DJ played during the annual 'Dolamelana'. In this festival, the locals gather after Holi in Chudakuti area and carry out a procession of local deity with music and festivity.
On Sunday evening, the festival was organized and started off peacefully. After some time, the police tried to stop them.
As per the police sources, loud music was banned in the area and the people playing DJ did not permission for it. So, the police tried to stop them but when the locals did not give in, they allegedly resorted to vandalizing the musical instruments.
Around 15 persons got injured after the scuffle broke out between the police and locals.
The agitated locals burned tyres and blocked the Satabhauni-Dhamnagar road. To ease out the prevailing tension, additional 4 platoons of police have been deployed in the area.

What are ACLs and how do they work?
Type: Video
Date: September 2016
What are ACLs and how do they work? This is a common question and an important one to answer.
"What are ACLs and how do they work?" This is a common question and an important one to answer.
ACL stands for Access Control List. KioWare has several ACLs and each of them play a role in managing how and what your kiosk users are allowed to access.
There are three ACLs in the Security tab of the KioWare configuration tool. The first is a Protocol Access List, which lets you decide which protocols KioWare will allow. When blocking is disabled, all protocols are allowed. When blocking is enabled, protocols on the list are allowed, in addition to http, https, file, res, and data. A Protocol Access List isn't commonly needed, so it's likely you won't use this type of ACL at all.
The second ACL in the Security tab is a Browsing Access List, which lets you create a list of domains and pages that KioWare will allow users to navigate to. You will almost definitely use a Browsing Access List in your configuration of KioWare, so we'll come back to this type of ACL in a moment.
In the Browser tab of the KioWare configuration tool, you'll find the Popup Access List, which lets you decide how KioWare will handle tabs and/or popups while browsing.
The most commonly used ACL for KioWare configuration is a Browsing Access List so we'll go through an example of how to set one up.
As a reminder, a Browsing Access List specifies which domains and pages your kiosk user is allowed to navigate to. These browsing restrictions are often essential to your configuration of KioWare.
To start setting up your Browsing Access List, open the KioWare for Windows configuration tool and click on the Security tab. Click on the Browsing Access button. By default, all domains are allowed.
Click on the New Domain button. Type in a domain without the protocol. The first one you add will likely be the domain of your Start Page URL. Most KioWare users need to create a list that allows all pages for only a few domains, and all other domains are blocked, so for this example, we'll set All Pages on this domain to Allow.
You would repeat the process of clicking on the New Domain button and entering a domain until all of the domains are listed that you want your kiosk user to have access to.
If there are certain pages within a domain that you need to Allow or Block, click the Add Page button. In this example, since we are setting up domains to Allow, we would only need to add a Page that we want to block. You'll notice that when you click Add Page, your new page icon is red, meaning it's blocked.
Make sure Everything Else is set to Blocked, meaning that in this case, all of the listed domains above are allowed, while all other domains are blocked.
KioWare supports matching in two different ways: matching a name which contains some text, and matching using Regular Expressions. You'll notice this feature beside domains and pages. If you need help with matching, please refer to the KioWare for Windows User Guide for more information.
The Protocol, Browsing, Scripting, and Popup Access Control Lists are valuable tools you'll likely need to use to get the most out of KioWare's lockdown functionality. If you have any questions about ACLs, just contact us and we'll be happy to help.

The Elisra passive airborne warning system (PAWS-2) has been selected for the Gripen fighter. Elbit, Elisra's parent Israeli company, said that the system was selected "following a comprehensive in-depth evaluation and testing in various scenarios as well as in a comparative live fire test."
The missile approach warning function on the Gripen has previously been provided by Saab itself, as part of the Swedish company's Integrated Defensive Aids System (IDAS) that has also been installed on other combat aircraft, helicopters and airlifters. IDAS includes the MAW-300, which employs ultraviolet (UV) sensors, whereas PAWS-2 is an infrared (IR) system. Elbit said that PAWS-2 is based on years of experience and has growth potential "to cope with ever-growing future requirements expected during the life-cycle of the Gripen fighter system."
A Saab spokesman told AIN that PAWS-2 would be the baseline fit for all future Gripens but that individual customers would be free to select and integrate alternatives. The Gripen has just been chosen by Brazil, and Saab is currently campaigning to sell the fighter to Malaysia and Switzerland, having secured an order for 60 from the Swedish air force. The Swedish aircraft will be converted from Gripen Cs that are already in service. Switzerland will get 22 new aircraft, if a nationwide referendum next year confirms the purchase.

Brighton Pier (Palace Pier)
Madeira Drive, Brighton, East Sussex, UK
associated engineer
Richard St.George Moore
7th November 1891 - 20th May 1899
UK era
Victorian |
Pier, seaside |
ICE reference number
Jane Joyce
The English south-coast town of Brighton has one of the most famous seaside piers — a late Victorian structure of considerable visual charm. The pier is founded on screw piles, and its original buildings were constructed to echo the architecture of the nearby
Royal Pavilion
. The structure is Grade II* listed and is a hugely popular attraction.
In 1888, the Brighton Marine Palace & Pier Company was formed to construct a new pier some 200m to the west of the then-standing
Chain Pier
, built in 1822-3 by
Captain Samuel Brown
(1776-1852). Consent for the new pier was conditional upon demolition of the existing Brighton Pier, which the company purchased for Ł15,000 in 1889.
Engineer and architect
Richard St George Moore
(1858-1926) designed the new structure, which was soon known as the Palace Pier. Its construction follows the well-tried methods used on many seaside pleasure piers of the Victorian era, including Brighton's
West Pier
Eugenius Birch
, opened 1866).
A major development in overcoming the challenge of making sound foundations on a shifting foreshore was the screw pile, patented in 1833 by the blind Irish engineer
Alexander Mitchell
(1780-1868). Each pile is usually a cast iron hollow column with screw shaped wings around the toe, driven into the ground by rotation. The technique works well for most soil types.
The Palace Pier foundations have 330 cast iron screw piles, the first of which was driven on 7th November 1891. Each pile is 762mm in diameter supporting 305mm diameter cast iron columns. The columns are set in clusters of six — two rows of three at 5.5m centres — braced diagonally by wrought tie iron rods with turnbuckles. The columns are also braced horizontally by cross heads, which support open lattice longitudinal girders and 203mm by 102mm transverse rolled steel joists. The timber deck planking is carried on the transverse beams.
On 4th December 1896, a storm destroyed the Chain Pier, which had been closed since October that year. Timber debris from the structure was swept by the tides into the new pier, still under construction, causing considerable damage.
On 20th May 1899, the Palace Pier opened to the public — for a fee of 2d (0.8p) per person. Two octagonal kiosks rescued from the Chain Pier are situated at the northern end of the deck, which contains 137km of timber planks. The neck of the pier is a minimum of 13.7m wide, with three broader stretches. At the time of opening, the pierhead was not complete. Original features included entrance toll booths, rows of filigree iron arches at intervals across the pier to support electric illuminations and ornate cast iron handrailing around the deck.
The pierhead, an elongated octagon 57.6m wide, was finished in 1901. The pier was then 524.9m long. On 3rd April 1901, the pierhead pavilion opened, completing the pier for a total cost of Ł137,000. It had a concert hall with seating and standing space for 1,500 people, and smoking and reading rooms. The exterior, furnished with minaret corner towers and Moorish arches, was designed to evoke the
Royal Pavilion
John Nash
, 1823).
In 1906, a glazed screen was installed on the pier to provide shelter from the wind. It forms a central spine along its length, running between the buildings, with its own pitched roof supported by pairs of cast iron columns. Bench seating is fixed to the deck on both sides.
In 1910, a pavilion and a winter garden were constructed on two of the wider areas of the neck. The winter garden, at the northern (shore) end, features a central rotunda with rectangular north and south wings. The building's curved roof is supported by cast iron columns and segmental arch open web trusses. The pavilion is located near the centre of the pier. It consists of a square central section with narrower north and south wings, and a hipped and stepped roof.
In 1911, a steamer landing stage was constructed at the pierhead. The pavilion on it was remodelled into a proper theatre with seating for 1,300 people.
From about 1927, the pier entrance at the shore was rebuilt and widened, replacing the three original arches. The new entrance structure, unveiled on 27th June 1930, includes a flat-ceilinged mansard roof and a central clock tower with four faces.
The pierhead was extended in 1938, to give the pier its present overall length of 536.4m. A big wheel and other fairground rides were added at about this time.
In 1940, the pier was breached for wartime defensive purposes, and the pierhead landing stage and theatre closed. The structure was reinstated and re-opened on 6th June 1946, with the theatre opening on 15th July that year. Until about 1960, day trips by boat could be taken from the landing stage. In August 1971, the pier was given Grade II* listing.
On 19th October 1973, the pierhead was damaged when a 70 tonne barge being used for the demolition of the disused landing stage collided it and the pier. The theatre was damaged and had to be closed, though was later repaired. The landing stage was demolished in 1975, and the repair works completed in 1976. However, the pierhead was not restored to its former opulence.
In March 1984, the Palace Pier was acquired by the Noble Organisation. Two years of refurbishment were undertaken by the company. Free admission and free deck chairs were introduced, together with new food outlets constructed in red brick. The former winter garden, now the Palace of Fun, was clad with vinyl and aluminium sheeting.
In 1986, the pierhead theatre was dismantled and put into storage. Its present whereabouts are unknown. It was replaced by the current Pleasure Dome (not part of the listed building citation) supported by a tubular steel geodesic grid.
In August 1995, an explosion and fire in an electricity sub-station below the decking at the seaward end of the pier caused damage.
In 1998, the Palace Pier was designated Pier of the Year by the National Piers Society. In 2000, its name was changed to Brighton Pier, to widespread dismay. Fire broke out on the night of 4th February 2003, destroying the ghost train and damaging the helter skelter. Some of the timber decking was affected but no serious structural damage was sustained.
In June 2011, the pier was put up for sale but taken off the market in October 2012. Its owners, the Noble Group, announced that "a change in strategy led us to conclude the pier will now form part of the longer term group plans".
Brighton Pier is the most visited pier in the UK, and ranks among Britain's top 10 visitor attractions.

Here's something I bet you didn't know: the eleventh incarnation of Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo cartoon was called Scooby-Doo! Mystery! Incorporated!, and it ran on the Cartoon Network from 2010 til this month.
Apparently, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated! was designed to be as sinister as possible, with hat-tips to A Nightmare on Elm Street, the Saw franchise, Twin Peaks, and fucking H.P. Lovecraft. How did Hanna-Barbera brand managers let this go down? Why was no one alerted that this was going on until after it had finished showing? Why wasn't this whole thing a bigger deal to the world? What's happened here is essentially the dictionary definition of postmodernism, I can't deal with it. Also:
In particular, in the second season, the central story arc of the show evolves to heavily feature the use of Babylonian mythology, exploring the Anunnaki, the Babylonian and modern pseudo-scientific concepts of Nibiru, and the writings of Zecharia Sitchin.

Ireland inaugurates bioeconomy research center
In Ireland, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed TD launched the new EUR22.2 million BEACON Bioeconomy SFI Research Center at the EUR5.75 million National Bioeconomy Campus in Lisheen, Co. Tipperary.
The event also saw the launch of the Irish Bioeconomy Foundation (IBF), as part of the inaugural Bioeconomy Ireland Day, which aims to engage industry, the farming community, Government and wider society in the bioeconomy. The bioeconomy brings together the development of new ideas, processes and technologies to sustainably use our natural resources, create jobs and stimulate rural development.
Minister Creed TD also announced the initiation of a Bioeconomy Public-Private Network, as part of the national bioeconomy policy statement implementation, to establish a network of representatives from industry, research, society and relevant public bodies to inform the future development of the Irish bioeconomy. With the bioeconomy already accounting for 8% of the EU's workforce, bio-based industries could create up to 1 million green jobs by 2030, especially in rural and coastal areas.
The BEACON Bioeconomy SFI Research Centre funded by Science Foundation Ireland through the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, and Industry, includes partnerships with five research institutions, including University College Dublin (UCD) where the Centre is hosted, and an initial 10 industry partners.
The Center will connect Ireland's key bioeconomy sectors with fundamental and applied research excellence and innovation infrastructure, using a multi-disciplinary perspective to solve the key challenges for a robust bioeconomy; technology and sustainability.

Competency 3.1: The ability to make appropriate prescribing and management decisions based on the refractive and oculomotor status
The trainee needs to demonstrate the ability to decide whether a new or changed prescription is warranted ensuring that main issues arising in examination are taken into consideration. These issues include any presenting symptoms any previous prescription and oculomotor status. The trainee also needs to demonstrate the ability to recognise reduced vision and investigate.
There also needs to be demonstration that the trainee can logically arrive at and accurately records, appropriate prescription in full, and arrive at and accurately record advice and recommendations to meet optical needs avoiding vagueness and ambiguity.
Best Form Evidence
Most Assessors will witness one full routine during the first assessment, so the primary method of assessment here will be Direct Observation.
As with all competencies one piece of evidence is not enough, so an Assessor will probably also look at a selection of Patient Records, the Logbook and may conduct a case scenario/role play.
Case Scenarios and Patient Records are good methods of achieving this competency. Providing an Assessor with a range of records will help to pass.
The Assessor may pose different scenarios e.g.
- Adaptation
- First time Rx
- First time high cyl
- Anisometropia with/without amblyopia
- Intermediate addition
- Need for prism
- Spectacles required for VDU only.
The Assessor will also look for evidence that symptoms have been related to advice.
Unacceptable Evidence
Reasons for failure are not making the appropriate decisions, not considering visual needs and visual comfort. E.g. it is not a good idea to prescribe a reading add that gives a range of 60 -100 cm when the patient has short arms.
If prism is prescribed just saying " I gave the same as last time" is not an answer. Know how the level of prism was decided and why it was given, and why it is necessary for e.g. DV only etc.
