Stocks gapped up at the open as trade tensions eased (see below). The Dow is currently up 525 pts and the SPX is up 1.8%. Materials, energy and tech sectors are all up over 2% in early trading. The VIX Index is back down to 20.7. European markets are up about .7% and Asia was up at least that much overnight. Oil, gas and metals are trading higher as well. WTI crude oil is back up to $65.20/barrel. Copper and iron ore are up well over 1%. Bonds are not surprisingly down in price. The 5-year and 10-year Treasury note yields ticked up to 2.63% and 2.80%, respectively.
As widely anticipated, Chinese President Xi Jinping de-escalated the war of words with President Trump in a speech today. He attributed Mr. Trump's tactics to a "Cold War mentality and zero-sum game thinking [that] are outdated." More importantly, he said he supports free trade and pledged a "new phase of opening up trade." He mentioned increasing imports, lowering barriers to foreign ownership of businesses in China, and expending protections for intellectual property. That pretty much covers Mr. Trump's list of demands.
Yesterday, investors had the rug yanked out from under their feet when the FBI raided the office of President Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen. They collected documents relating to several issues, including the president's alleged relationship with Stormy Daniels. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating the president's dealings with Russia, appears to have precipitated the raid. Headlines immediately smacked down the stock market's rally. The Dow's nearly 400 point rally fell to just 46 points by the close. But that was yesterday, before Mr. Xi's speech.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) raised its 2018 economic growth forecast to 3.3% from 2%. One key reason for the revision was tax reform. Lower corporate taxes will likely boost GDP by .7% over the next 10 years, producing average annual growth of 2%. In addition, lower taxes could result in 1.1 million additional jobs. Of course, tax reform will also result in higher federal budget deficits. The CBO predicts that by 2028, total federal debt will roughly equal the annual output (that is, gross domestic product) of the US economy.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) accelerated to 3.0% y/y growth in March. That's higher than February's figure and also higher than economists were forecasting. No matter how you parse the data, wholesale inflation is rising. Food prices were up over 2% for the month; healthcare and other services costs increased as well. For a market so hyper-sensitive to inflation, it is a small wonder that investors and the media are clearly shrugging off this report. Barron's calls the acceleration "modest." Of course, the big question is whether hotter wholesale inflation translates into hotter retail prices? We'll find out tomorrow with the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hanbal, Abu `Abd Allah al-Dhuhli al-Shaybani al-Marwazi al-Baghdadi (d. 241). Al-Dhahabi says of him: "The true Shaykh of Islam and leader of the Muslims in his time, the hadith master and proof of the Religion. He took hadith from Hushaym, Ibrahim ibn Sa`d, Sufyan ibn `Uyayna, `Abbad ibn `Abbad, Yahya ibn Abi Za'ida, and their layer. From him narrated al-Bukhari [two hadiths in the Sahih], Muslim [22], Abu Dawud [254], Abu Zur`a, Mutayyan, `Abd Allah ibn Ahmad, Abu al-Qasim al-Baghawi, and a huge array of scholars. His father was a soldier û one of those who called to Islam û and he died young." Al-Dhahabi continues:
`Abd Allah ibn Ahmad said: "I heard Abu Zur`a [al-Razi] say: 'Your father had memorized a million hadiths, which I rehearsed with him according to topic.'"Hanbal said: "I heard Abu `Abd Allah say: 'I memorized everything which I heard from Hushaym when he was alive.'"Ibrahim al-Harbi said: "I held Ahmad as one for whom Allah had gathered up the combined knowledge of the first and the last."Harmala said: "I heard al-Shafi`i say: 'I left Baghdad and did not leave behind me anyone more virtuous (afdal), more learned (a`lam), more knowledgeable (afqah) than Ahmad ibn Hanbal.'"`Ali ibn al-Madini said: "Truly, Allah reinforced this Religion with Abu Bakr al-Siddiq the day of the Great Apostasy (al-Ridda), and He reinforced it with Ahmad ibn Hanbal the day of the Inquisition (al-Mihna)."Abu `Ubayd said: "The Science at its peak is in the custody of four men, of whom Ahmad ibn Hanbal is the most knowledgeable."Ibn Ma`in said, as related by `Abbas [al-Duri]: "They meant for me to be like Ahmad, but û by Allah! û I shall never in my life compare to him."Muhammad ibn Hammad al-Taharani said: "I heard Abu Thawr say: 'Ahmad is more learned û or knowledgeable û than al-Thawri.'"
Al-Dhahabi concludes: "Al-Bayhaqi wrote Abu `Abd Allah's biography (sîra) in one volume, so did Ibn al-Jawzi, and also Shaykh al-Islam [`Abd Allah al-Harawi] al-Ansari in a brief volume. He passed on to Allah's good pleasure on the day of Jum`a, the twelfth of Rabi` al-Awwal in the year 241, at the age of seventy-seven. I have two of his short-chained narrations (`awâlîh), and a licence (ijâza) for the entire Musnad." Al-Dhahabi's chapter on Imam Ahmad in Siyar A`lam al-Nubala' counts no less than 113 pages.
One of the misunderstandings prevalent among the "Salafis" who misrepresent Imam Ahmad's school today is his position regarding kalâm or dialectic theology. It is known that he was uncompromisingly opposed to kalâm as a method, even if used as a means to defend the truth, preferring to stick to the plain narration of textual proofs and abandoning all recourse to dialectical or rational ones. Ibn al-Jawzi relates his saying: "Do not sit with the people of kalâm, even if they defend the Sunna." This attitude is at the root of his disavowal of al-Muhasibi. It also explains the disaffection of later Hanbalis towards Imam al-Ash`ari and his school, despite his subsequent standing as the Imam of Sunni Muslims par excellence. The reasons for this rift are now obsolete although the rift has amplified beyond all recognizable shape, as it is evident, in retrospect, that opposition to Ash`aris, for various reasons, came out of a major misunderstanding of their actual contributions within the Community, whether as individuals or as a whole.
There are several general reasons why the Hanbali-mutakallim rift should be considered artificial and obsolete. First, kalâm in its original form was an innovation in Islam (bid`a) against which there was unanimous opposition among Ahl al-Sunna. The first to use kalâm were true innovators opposed to the Sunna, and in the language of the early scholars kalâm was synonymous with the doctrines of the Qadariyya, Murji'a, Jahmiyya, Jabriyya, Rawâfid, and Mu`tazila and their multifarious sub-sects. This is shown by the examples Ibn Qutayba gives of kalâm and mutakallimûn in his book Mukhtalif al-Hadith, none of which belongs to Ahl al-Sunna. Similarly the adherents of kalâm brought up in the speech of al-Hasan al-Basri, Ibn al-Mubarak, Ibn Rahuyah, Imam al-Shafi`i and the rest of the pre-Hanbali scholars of hadith are the innovators of the above-mentioned sects, not those who later opposed them using the same methods of reasoning. The latter cannot be put in the same category. Therefore the early blames of kalâm cannot be applied to them in the same breath with the innovators.
Second, there is difference of opinion among the Salaf on the possible use of kalâm to defend the Sunna, notwithstanding Imam Ahmad's position quoted above. One reason why they disallowed it is wara`: because of extreme scrupulousness against learning and practicing a discipline initiated by the enemies of the Sunna. Thus they considered kalâm reprehensible but not forbidden, as is clear from their statements. For example, Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that al-Shafi`i said: "If I wanted to publish books refuting every single opponent [of the Sunna] I could easily do so, but kalâm is not for me, and I dislike that anything of it be attributed to me." This shows that al-Shafi`i left the door open for others to enter a field which he abstained from entering out of strict Godwariness.
Third, kalâm is a difficult, delicate science which demands a mind above the norm. The imams forbade it as a sadd al-dharî`a or pre-empting measure. They rightly foresaw that unless one possessed an adequate capacity to practice it, one was courting disaster. This was the case with Ahmad's student Abu Talib, and other early Hanbalis who misinterpreted Ahmad's doctrinal positions as Bukhari himself stated. Bukhari, Ahmad, and others of the Salaf thus experienced first hand that one who played with kalâm could easily lapse into heresy, innovation, or disbelief. This was made abundantly clear in Imam Malik's answer to the man who asked how Allah established Himself over the Throne: "The establishment is known, the 'how' is inconceivable, and to ask about it is an innovation!" Malik's answer is the essence of kalâm at the same time as it warns against the misuse of kalâm, as observed by the late Dr. Abu al-Wafa' al-Taftazani. Malik's reasoning is echoed by al-Shafi`i's advice to his student al-Muzani: "Take proofs from creation in order to know about the Creator, and do not burden yourself with the knowledge of what your mind did not reach." Similarly, Ibn Khuzayma and Ibn Abi Hatim admitted their technical ignorance of the science of kalâm, at the same time acknowledging its possible good use by qualified experts. As for Ibn Qutayba, he regretted his kalâm days and preferred to steer completely clear of it.
In conclusion, any careful reader of Islamic intellectual history can see that if the Ash`ari scholars of kalâm had not engaged and defeated the various theological and philosophical sects on their own terrain, the silence of Ahl al-Sunna might well have sealed their defeat at the hands of their opponents. This was indicated by Taj al-Din al-Subki who spoke of the obligatoriness of kalâm in certain specific circumstances, as opposed to its superfluousness in other times. "The use of kalâm in case of necessity is a legal obligation (wajib), and to keep silence about kalâm in case other than necessity is a sunna."
The biographical notice on Imam Ahmad in the Reliance of the Traveller reads: "Out of piety, Imam Ahmad never gave a formal legal opinion (fatwa) while Shafi`i was in Iraq, and when he later formulated his school of jurisprudence, he mainly drew on explicit texts from the [Qur'an], hadith, and scholarly consensus, with relatively little expansion from analogical reasoning (qiyâs). He was probably the most learned in the sciences of hadith of the four great Imams of Sacred Law, and his students included many of the foremost scholars of hadith. Abu Dawud said of him: 'Ahmad's gatherings were gatherings of the afterlife: nothing of this world was mentioned. Never once did I hear him mention this-worldly things.' ... He never once missed praying in the night, and used to recite the entire [Qur'an] daily. He said, 'I saw the Lord of Power in my sleep, and said, "O Lord, what is the best act through which those near to You draw nearer?" and He answered, "Through [reciting] (sic) My word, O Ahmad." I asked, "With understanding, or without?" and He answered, "With understanding and without."'. . . Ahmad was imprisoned and tortured for twenty-eight months under the Abbasid caliph al-Mu`tasim in an effort to force him to publicly espouse the [Mu`tazila] position that the Holy [Qur'an] was created, but the Imam bore up unflinchingly under the persecution and refused to renounce the belief of Ahl al-Sunna that the [Qur'an] is the uncreated word of Allah, after which Allah delivered and vindicated him. When Ahmad died in 241/855, he was accompanied to his resting place by a funeral procession of eight hundred thousand men and sixty thousand women, marking the departure of the last of the four great mujtahid Imams of Islam."
Ibn al-Jawzi narrates from Bilal al-Khawass that the latter met al-Khidr and asked him: "What do you say of al-Shafi`i?" He said: "One of the Pillar-Saints (Awtâd)." "Ahmad ibn Hanbal?" "He is a Siddîq."

Designed as a dance party that included on stage seating for large corporate donors, the orchestra pit became a dance floor throughout the night. Early on some of the women wiggled through the golden rails in their gowns and heels to reach the dance area. They did not bother with the entrances on the left and right sides.
Plymale indicated that about $15 million dollars is needed to fully restore the theater. This will be done in stages. Several major projects have already been accomplished such as a new roof, restoration of the sign, remodeling of the fly section of the stage, new restrooms, and a new HVAC system.
On deck, Plymale said that the front portion of the theater will be restored including the marquee to its original 1928 configuration (see last picture in gallery ). a ticket office will be added, and a more catering friendly space. On the list, too, are upgrading the dressing rooms and the seating.
Plymale said that the board will seek national landmark designation. Currently, the Keith is a part of the Fourth Avenue Historic District, but has no individual designation.
Considered the 'jewel' of the City, the two million dollar 'temple' of amusement brings the promise of greater downtown economic development due to the multiplier impact of performing arts events spinning dollars into restaurants, retailers, parking and motels.

Naam is a Psychedelic Stoner Rock band from New York and they have made the best album of 2009. So... I'm not gonna spend more words here. Enjoy!!!
Beyond the conceptual language structure created by mankind, the definition of the name lies in internal rhythm, the internal sound that a man experiences. Those who embrace Naam have the key to the door of mysteries and miracles, as Naam exists in the Divine plane and shines through to the Physical plane, bringing healing and self-renewal.
Disgusted by the lack of heavy, psychedelic rock and roll, We deliver our deafening sermon to bring a new dawn for all civilization. The vast seas cannot drown Us, the darkest caverns cannot conceal Us, We will conquer insurmountable foes. We are war, We are peace, We are time and space, We are infinite, We are Naam.

The Pansy is a very versatile plant the can
be used several different ways in your landscape plans.
If you live in a area that has mild winters,
you can plant them in the fall to give your
landscape some winter color. For winter planting
you can plant them in a open area where they
will get full sun--a little different then
spring planting. You need to plant them before
the frost hits, so they can get their roots
established for the winter. Mid September
to the first of October(in Oregon) is a good
time to plant. Mix a low nitrogen balanced
fertilizer in with the soil when planting.
Pansies respond really well to a liquid fertilizer
also. You will need to fertilize again in
late January or early February. The only
thing that will prevent them from doing well
in the winter is if the weather is cold and
damp all winter long. They will rot out if
they don't see some sun. So some winters
they will do great and other winters they
might just sit there and do nothing. Winter
pansies will do well until it starts heating
up. Pansies in the winter are best used by
planting them in a area where you can pull
them up in the spring and plant some of your
warm loving plants in place of them. It is
worth it to try.
Springtime is when most people plant Pansies. Planting them in the spring is totally different then winter Pansies. Pansies do not like the heat. When you plant them in the spring you need to plant them in a mostly shady place. They will take morning sun but keep them away from the blaring afternoon sun. Plant them the same as you would winter Pansies by adding some fertilizer with the soil when you plant them.
Pansies are considered a perennial but weather conditions will prevent them from going year to year most of the time, but they do reseed themselves fairly well. Like most flowering plants it is good to dead head them, to help promote more blooms. Once they get going try a Bloom fertilizer like 0-10-0 or 0-10-10, to help produce more flowers. Pansies come in a array of colors, so be creative and have fun. Happy planting

The Brooklyn Public Library and BiblioCommons Inc. are the recipients of a $250,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to create and pilot a library-based digital badging system built on the Mozilla Open Badges standard.
Inspired by the 2013 Chicago Summer of Learning program, the project will develop the technical infrastructure for participating libraries to provide their patrons with the tools to access, manage, and collect a variety of badges representing their passions, interests, and library activities, all in the familiar and supportive library environment. "We're elated that we can now build out the infrastructure we've been dreaming of, and that we can work with such a great group of libraries," said Beth Jefferson, co-founder of BiblioCommons Inc. "We are eager to explore this new role for public libraries within the evolving connected learning ecosystem."
The grant, in addition to providing funding for the infrastructure for the system, seeks to study the effectiveness of digital badging when placed within the library. Libraries have a unique opportunity in the rapidly developing badge ecosystem, as they already have significant public trust and are often the first stop for independent and lifelong learners. Building upon this trust, the project will also develop and pilot an open source identity authentication system using a patron's library card, allowing for collaboration with third party vendors offering badges, such as DIY.org, and validation of a patron's ability to engage with content while retaining compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
In addition to Brooklyn Public Library, other partner libraries participating in the grant include Johnson County Library (KS), Omaha Public Library (NE), Tulsa City-County Library (OK), and The Seattle Public Library (WA). All of these libraries will experiment with a variety of programming and badge promotion opportunities in their existing BiblioCommons Summer Reading Program Sites.
"It is exciting to be at the forefront of the effort to bring digital badging to public libraries. Digital badging supports a culture of connected learning, and as community centers of learning, it is important for libraries to be a part of these efforts," said Susan H. Hildreth, director of IMLS. "For libraries involved in this project, the digital badging platform will provide new incentives for teens and adults who participate in summer learning, STEM learning, and a wide variety of lifelong learning opportunities."
A digital badge, like a physical Boy Scout or Girl Scout badge, represents an accomplishment or acquired skill. Digital badges began with games and other online organizations to reward players, recognize achievement, and establish credibility. They are now part of a movement, shaped by Mozilla Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other organizations, to recognize skill development and training achievements gained through self-directed informal learning and through formal professional development activities.

By Aaron Rourke (Melbourne, Australia)
After the big budget Mute and Bright turned out to be, respectively, a disappointing misfire and an unmitigated disaster, Netflix now unveil The Outsider, and unfortunately their run of expensive failures continues.
Set in post-war Japan, circa 1954, Jared Leto stars as Nick Lowell, a U.S. soldier who is now languishing in prison, an outcast among the local populace. Thin and bearded, Nick keeps to himself, but attracts attention when he saves fellow inmate Kiyoshi (Tadanobu Asano) from rival yakuza members. Owing a debt to his foreign saviour, Kiyoshi organises a plan to get them both out of their harsh environment, and it's a scheme that proves successful.
Disconnected from his own country and fellow soldiers, Nick accepts an offer to join the Shiramatsu gang, where Kiyoshi is an important member. Reluctantly taken in by boss Akihiro (Min Tanaka), and viewed with suspicious eyes by the high-ranking Orochi (Kippei Shina), Nick learns the ropes remarkably fast, but threatens his friendship with Kiyoshi by starting a romance with his younger sister Miyu (Shioli Kutsuna), in a subplot that seems quite similar to the one in Brian De Palma's Scarface (1983).
Chaos and violence become the order of the day when Shiramatsu are forced into a turf war with rival gang Seizu, run by Hiromitsu (Nao Omori), who want to take over the profitable Osaka port. Hiromitsu, whose father had a gentlemen's agreement with Akihiro, isn't interested in the old way of doing things, but rather wants everything that the industrial rebuilding the country is going through has to offer.
Nick has to deal with the internal fighting happening within his own gang, confront Kiyoshi about his growing relationship with Miyu, and protect his new love from the violent world he has decided to exist in.
The Outsider is a mess from the very beginning. With a wealth of material to explore, screenwriter Andrew Baldwin (who penned the 2016 action flick The Take with Idris Elba) instead focuses on every cliché connected to the crime thriller, while also viewing Japan via every stereotype audiences have seen in the movies. It's about as culturally and historically insightful as Memoirs of a Geisha, and Baldwin seems to show no interest in the substantial changes happening not only in Japan, but around the world, and what Leto's character could have symbolised. This complete lack of depth makes the whole white-guy-in-a-foreign-land scenario appear stale and dated.
Baldwin's script is pure, unadulterated pulp, the filmic equivalent of a cheap crime paperback. But instead of giving us a vividly detailed locale populated by colourful individuals, Baldwin keeps everything utterly superficial, supplying characters with little or no backstory, causing the viewer to quickly lose interest in the overly familiar plot.
Compounding this problem is Martin Zandvliet (who helmed the Oscar nominated war drama Land of Mine), who directs the trashy material as if it were The Godfather (an assassination montage, as well as the film's ending are very reminiscent of the Coppola classics), but all this manages to do is make everything even more laughable and hollow. The lethargic pace and overlength also doesn't help proceedings.
Leto is simply abysmal as Nick, showing no emotional nuance, personality, or even the slightest hint of a character arc. A man of few words and dressed slickly in a black suit, Leto seems to be trying to channel Alain Delon from Le Samurai (or maybe even a moody soul from one of Johnnie To's films), but has neither the charisma or presence to pull it off. Sure the script gives him nothing to work with, but Leto's flatline interpretation is excruciating.
The Japanese cast fare better, but are also hamstrung by Baldwin's second-rate script. Asano (Maborosi, Ichi the Killer, The Taste of Tea, Kabei: Our Mother), who was so good in Martin Scorsese's Silence, at least offers a performance, but the perfunctory role never allows this talented actor to truly shine. Shina (Outrage, Assassination Classroom 1 and 2, 64 Part 1 and 2) has fun as Orochi, and gives the film its liveliest moments; Omori (The Ravine of Goodbye, R100, Ichi the Killer, Fish Story) is relaxed during his limited screen time; Tanaka (The Tale of Iya, The Eternal Zero, Blade of the Immortal) is convincing as Akihiro; and Australian born Kutsuna (Petal Dance, the 2013 remake of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven) is suitably alluring as Miyu.
The film's major saving grace is the gorgeous cinematography by Camilla Hjelm, who also lensed Zandvliet's Land of Mine. While the story and the people that fill it may seem wafer thin, the images remain painterly and pretty, and it's thanks to Hjelm's stylish work that we are able to maintain any interest at all.
Hollywood in the past has managed to look at Japanese culture in an absorbing, respectful fashion, with notable highlights being Joshua Logan's Sayonara (1957), with Marlon Brando, Sydney Pollack's The Yakuza (1975), starring Robert Mitchum and Ken Takakura, and Paul Schrader's Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters (1985), starring Ken Ogata, but The Outsider is exceedingly subpar when compared to these intelligent, memorable efforts.
Given Baldwin's pulpy sensibilities, The Outsider could have been a brisk, atmospheric outing in the mould of Ridley Scott's 1989 hit Black Rain, but Zandvliet seems totally unaware of the possibilities, thinking he is bringing something substantial and literate to the screen. At least Scott was fully aware of the formulaic trappings in the script handed to him, so alternately brought tremendous energy and style to his production, utilising the Japanese locations to maximum effect. Scott, as opposed to Zandvliet, was thankfully blessed with a terrific central performance, on that occasion by Oscar winner Michael Douglas.
Lacking the angry, post-war sentiment which laced the films of the late Kinji Fukasaku (Battles Without Honour and Humanity series, Battle Royale), and missing the revisionist, absurdist wit that runs through many of the yakuza movies made by actor/writer/director Takeshi Kitano (Hana-bi, Brother, Outrage trilogy), The Outsider inadvertently lives up to its name.
Uninterested in properly exploring its potentially fascinating subject matter, but also clueless in its ability to have fun with the comic book script that has eventuated, The Outsider ends up being both pointless and worthless. Knowing that the film was originally going to be directed by the prolific Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer, Blade of the Immortal), who would have had a ball turning every cliché violently on its head, and star Tom Hardy, a much better actor who would have given a far more impactful performance, shows what a missed opportunity this really is.

What's harder than making a birthday card for a friend. When that friend is Diane (cookiestamper) Zechman. She is the best cardmaker that I know (or have seen). She is the one that I talked to when I couldn't mix patterned paper, and looking back on my blog I'm sure you can see what happened there. She has also tried to help my fellow gigglers and me on how to use Copics. I'm still working on that little lesson, which is my bad, not hers. Long story short, she's my inky hero.
So last Wednesday we had our monthly giggler birthday dinner for her and another giggler, Shirley. We have a great dinner, funny gag gifts (presented by Lou Ann and Mary Ann) and TONS of laughs.
So my card for Diane is sweet little Betsy Bluebell with a paper pieced dress, holding her tissue (SU white waffle paper) wrapped flowers. I brightened the ladybug and tag with SU Crysal Effects and the flower centers with Crystal Color Lacquer. I used stickles for the butterflies, but they didn't show up very well in the photo.
Stamps: Penny Black "Betsy Bluebell"; SU Petite Pairs
Paper: Recollections White; SU Daffodil Delight; BasicGrey "Picadilly"
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Copics
Accessories: Spellbinders, SU Crystal Effects; Crystal Color Lacquer; Friskers Corner Punch; Pop dots; SU White Waffle Paper
And here is Shirley's card. She is new to the gigglers, but fits in just fine. She is the aunt to fellow giggler Mary Ann so she's also known as "Aunt Shirley" She just got a cricut for Christmas and has recently gotten a cuttlebug and is really going right to town with her cards and for a newbie, she is great!
For her card, I went for a more vintage look with my pretty flowered paper, lace ribbon, and a hat pin. This was my first hat pin, but I wanted to make this a little more special and thought this may spruce it up. I also used one of my most favorite stamp sets, SU Perfectly Penned.
Hope you enjoyed the Birthday Girl's Cards!
Stamps: SU Perfectly Penned
Paper: Paper Loft; SU Whisper White
Ink: SU Basic Black; SU Bravo Burgandy
Accessories: Spellbinders; Hat pin; SU lace ribbon; beads

Spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus and Panulirus ornatus) are important commodities in Indonesia. The aquaculture of lobster is susceptible for several diseases like parasite, fungi, bacteria and virus. Among those diseaes, Milky Hemolymph Disease (MHD) is often seen as a symptomp to mass mortality occured at lobster farms in Gerupuk Bay of Lombok. The aim of this study is to determine the lobster diseases on cage culture in Grupuk Bay of Lombok, the study was undertaken from Januari to March 2015. The determination of diseases was by application of molecular plat-form, polymerase chain reactin (PCR) with designation of specific primer for MHD (254F/R), 254F: 5'-cga-gga-cca-gag-atg-gac-ctt-3' and 254R: 5'-gct-cat-tgt-cac-cgc-cat-tgt-3' with PCR size product of 254 bp. and for cloned the patogen was use TA-cloning Invitrogen for the DNA plasmid as positive control for other analysis. Several tissue samples i.e hepatopancreas, Haemolymph, part of muscle Hepatopancreas P. homarus and P. ornatus were taken from cage culture farms at Gerupuk Bay then preserved on 90% Ethanol for further analysis by PCR and then the amplificated DNA were cloned into pCR®2.1 plasmid and transformed into competent E. coli.
In the present study almost all lobster samples from Gerupuk Bay were positive by MHD, as the results of PCR amplification whereaas the band appear at 254 bp. (Table. 1). Milky haemolymph Disease (MHD) is a descriptive name for diseases affecting spiny lobsters. The syndrome is given name according to the symptoms. the hemolymph of the affected lobster appear to be turbid or faculent and turns to a milky liquid. Milky liquid can be recognize in infected lobsters. The turbidity is caused by huge number of rickettsia-like bacteria (RLB) circulating in the hemolymph (Fig 1)

Allan Hyde: Rising True Blood Star
November 20, 2009 by Udo Blick
"That was a fantastic experience when tiny little me stood in front of the camera
and my two meter tall cast mate Alexander Skarsgard fell to
his knees in front of me. I felt the magic of
being an actor then."
Allan Hyde, the twenty year old Danish actor, has made quite an impression on HBO's True Blood fans. Allan plays the 2000 year old vampire Godric, Eric Northman's (Alexander Skarsgard) maker in the hit HBO series. Although he appeared in only four episodes of True Blood's second season, Allan Hyde's Godric has become extremely popular with True Blood's viewers.
He is a man of many talents. Besides his native Danish, he also speaks English, German and French. He has won the literary Robert Award for Best Short Story (2009) and amazingly, he also finds the time to play the guitar and sing. In Denmark, Allan Hyde has a string of appearances on both the Danish stage and screen. On stage, he has, for example, played Gavroche in Les Miserables but he is perhaps best known for his part in Denmark's TV3's 2900 Happiness. He has also provided the voice dubbing for Ron Weasley in the Danish release of the Harry Potter films. However in 2009, he was cast in the critically acclaimed HBO series True Blood as the 2000 year old Godric and the rest, as they say, is history.
In 2009, international acclaim came knocking on Allan Hyde's door. Allan Ball happened to need a Scandinavian teenager for True Blood. Allan Hyde's agent heard about it and convinced Hyde to send a tape to Alan Ball who was so impressed with it that there was no need for Hyde to undergo a formal audition. Hyde, at this point, was two months away from graduating from his high school in Zealand, Copenhagen, but he seized at the chance and moved to Los Angeles immediately. He explains his seemingly hasty decision,
"It was my dream. To be a professional (full-time) actor. To live off what I love. And it wasn't the most important thing about high school to get a certificate with grades on. Most important were the knowledge and friends I'd already won through those three years."
We are thankful for his decision because the character Godric has proved to be highly popular with viewers and with creator Alan Ball. Hyde's performance of Godric has brought Hyde acclaim, catapulting him into the hearts of True Blood's fans. In a recent interview, Allan Ball has also hinted at the possible return of Allan Hyde as Godric in flashbacks in Season 3.
Of his role as Godric in True Blood, Allan Hyde says,
"When I agreed to do it, I had no idea how big it (True Blood) was. I hadn't heard about True Blood yet. And to be completely honest, I felt that a vampire series was a little boring. I only knew Buffy and that was a girl's show."
True Blood, set against a vivid Southern Gothic mise-en-scene, has captured viewers' imagination with its gloriously gory, fiendish, darkly funny script. Populated with charismatic vampires, small town kooks and other assorted supernatural beings, True Blood is hardly filled with the usual vampire clichés which were the initial responses of critics and naysayers who subjected True Blood to lukewarm reviews.
Instead, proving his critics wrong, Allan Ball, Academy Award-winning writer, has sprinkled his magic dust over the HBO series and bewitched critics and viewers alike. According to HBO, True Blood's Season 2 averaged 10.8 million viewers per episode, up 39% from last season, proving to be an even bigger hit than HBO's The Sopranos. Indeed, True Blood's biggest strength lies in its ability to appeal across a wide demographic spectrum.
As Allan Hyde further explains,
"I realized at once that this would be a unique and intelligent series. Vampires are an allegory for the darkside of humanity. Their race is prone to a mixture of homophobia and racism, and that's what the series deals with in a brilliant way, I think. That's why I fell for True Blood – instantly and completely."
Allan Hyde's portrayal of Godric, an immortal being who also happened to be older than Jesus, was pitch perfect. But at the same time, Hyde acknowledges that, as the youngest cast member, he felt the least experienced,
"I was utterly inexperienced and everything was overwhelming. To be the show's alpha among the vampires on top of all this felt like immense pressure on me. The directors wanted me to be exactly like I was on the videotape they fell for. But they had never seen me 'live'. That's why I had a certain insecurity in the beginning. Would I really be able to deliver or was the tape just a lucky coincidence? […] There I was, in a foreign country and was supposed to play a character who was as different to mine as may be. At the same time, everything took place in English which meant that I needed to repeat my lines many times before every take or I'd stumble over the words."
But it is a testimony to the highly talented and mutually supportive ensemble cast of True Blood that Allan Hyde rapidly became comfortable in his role as Godric,
"[…] I felt I caught the character and people around me backed me with praise and recognition. That was a fantastic experience when tiny little me little me stood in front of the camera and my two meter tall cast mate Alexander Skarsgard fell to his knees in front of me. I felt the magic of being an actor then."
Now that Season 2 of True Blood has finished its run in the US, Allan Hyde has been a very busy man. He has, for example, auditioned for a new Gus van Sant movie. Allan Hyde explains:
"It is as if all the big shots want to see what I am able to do now. I'm going to lots of auditions that aspiring actors who have lived in Hollywood for years don't even get close to. There's no doubt that I have to play my cards now. I have to try and get more parts as my name is hot over here because the clock is ticking in L.A. It's all business."
Meanwhile, a stage role awaits him in Denmark in 2010. However, when it comes to English language roles, Hyde feels that one of the hurdles he faces is the language. While he speaks the language fluently (he has a Danish mother and a British father), he feels that it's difficult for him to hide both the British and Danish accents. He elaborates,
"That's the biggest issue right now. I'm doing everything I can to change it. I practice all the time and work with a dialect coach on a daily basis. I almost got the accent now because at my last audition they didn't even realize that I'm a foreigner."
However, it is new found fame that Hyde admits take some getting used to. He admits:
"It needs some getting used to and one has to forget about Danish Jantelovn. Over here, people would be offended if you wouldn't show your pride and appreciate the chance you got. To downplay your own results is a Danish thing and one you should avoid here […] At home, it's not like everybody and anybody is writing to me that I'm 'suerpcute' and 'superhot' and therefore I'm immensely flattered. But on the flipside, I have no idea what kind of people they are. I'm not looking for praise on the internet but sometimes it's unavoidable. And my mom's reading it too. She's my biggest fan and she's sending me links whenever she finds something funny about me online."
Judging from the recent interview with Allan Ball, fans of Allan Hyde can no doubt look forward to his appearances in Season 3 of True Blood. As to further appearances in his subsequent Hollywood career, we wish Allan Hyde all best wishes for his future roles.

Instrument Transformer and Power Management (P1) Course
Chapter (6) : Current Transformers
6.4 Types of Current Transformer
In general, there are two types of current transformers , the wound-type , and the through type.
6.4.1 Wound–type current transformer
188.8.131.52 Single ratio current transformer
The wound type has a separate primary and secondary winding mounted on a laminated iron core as shown in Fig. (1)
This type of current transformer is designed so that the primary winding consists of one or more turns of heavy wire connected in series in the circuit to be measured as shown in fig. (2). The secondary winding consists of a larger number of turns of relatively smaller wires as shown in fig. (3 ).
And is connected to instruments or control devices, which are usually designed to operate at five amperes for full scale deflection, Therefore instrument current transformers are usually designed so that, the secondary winding has a current rating of five amperes or one ampere.
The current ratings of the primary winding of an instrument current transformer are determined by the maximum value of the load current to be measured.
Assume that the current rating of the primary winding of a current transformer is 250 amperes, and the secondary winding has a current rating of five amperes , This means that the ratio between the primary and secondary currents is 250 to 5),or ( 50 to 1).
This means that the secondary winding will have 50 times as many turns as the primary winding, if the primary winding has four turns; the secondary winding will has 200 turns.
Therefore, the ratio of the primary to the secondary currents is inversely proportional to the ratio of primary to secondary turns.
Example :
Using the 250 to 5 instrument current transformer mentioned previously, to measuring the following current an ammeter would indicate :
Using the 250 to 5 instrument current transformer mentioned previously, to measuring the following current an ammeter would indicate :
- Load current 200 amperes meter indicates four amperes.
- Load current 150 amperes meter indicates three amperes.
- Load current 100 amperes meter indicates two amperes.
The ratio of instrument current transformer will vary depending on the maximum line current it is expected to carry. Ratios may range from one to one to 400 and higher to 1 ampere.
126.96.36.199 Dual ratio current transformer :
Wound type current transformer may be constructed so they have a dual ratio, this is done by having two primary windings as shown in fig. (4) Which may be connected in series or parallel by links.
The lines are connected to terminal l and 4. For the low ratio, the windings are connected in series by connected 2 to 3 but for high ratio, the windings are connected in parallel by connecting 1 to 2 and 3 to 4.
6.4.2 Through type current transformers
184.108.40.206 Bushing current transformer
Fig. ( 5 – a ) shows a typical assembly of a bushing current transformers as it would be mounted in a transformer or circuit breaker. This consists of a cylindrical ring core built up of thin iron laminations. Around the core is wound copper wire which forms the secondary winding. The primary winding is formed by the bushing conductor .The relative instantaneous direction of the primary and secondary currents are usually marked on the current transformer coil with colored strip or large dots as shown in figures ( 5 - a) and ( 5 - b).
The white strips on the secondary coil indicate the polarity of the primary conductor with reference to the secondary terminal. When the current in the primary conductor flows toward the white side of the secondary , current in the secondary coil flows out from the XI terminal. Since the through type current transformer must be capable of operating under over -saturated conditions (short circuits), and their accuracy at lower ratings is poor, most of the bushing transformer are used at high voltages and low currents. Further, they are used in relaying circuits rather than metering circuits.
Schematic diagram of multi -ratio bushing -type C. T showing method of marking leads and instantaneous direction of current.
Similarly : X1 –X3 = 120 turns and XI - X4 = 160 turns.
Let us assume that the transformer in fig. ( 6 ) has ratios of 800 / 600 / 400 –5 amperes. Since transformer ratio is proportional to turns and there is only one turn on the primary , the number of turns on the secondary may be calculated.
Ratio = ( Secondary turns / Primary turns) = ( Secondary turns / 1 )
Therefore, XI -X2 = 400 / 5 = 80 turns.
126.96.36.199 Window current transformer :
If we enclose the current transformer in fig. (5) In a molded case, we obtain another type of current transformer called the window type (fig. 7). Through the core and secondary winding, there is an insulated hole through which the user can place his own conductor.
This conductor then becomes the primary of the transformer. The ratio given on the nameplate of the transformer is the ratio using one primary turn. This ratio may be decreased by increasing the number of primary turns. The transformer shown in fig.(7) has a ratio of 400 / 5 amperes, If two turns were placed through the hole, the ratio would become 200 / 5 amperes.
22.214.171.124 Bar Primary current transformer :
This style uses a solid bar permanently mounted incorporated through the hole in the window -type transformer. This transformer as shown in fig. (8) Is known as the bar -primary type, construction of this type is particularly suited to withstand the stresses of heavy over current.
In order to avoid magnetic stresses that could distort the bus and damage the transformer, care must be taken to properly mount these transformers with respect to adjacent conductors. This type of current transformer is generally used on circuits carrying in excess of 1,000 amperes .
6.5 Classification of current transformers :
CT's may be classified as dry, oil gas or compound filled for indoor or outdoor use. The application will determine the type to be used.
Usually, either the dry or compound filled type is used for voltage below 22,000 and either the compound or oil-filled or voltage above 22,000. As the voltage is increased, insulation becomes of greater importance and more complicated equipment results.

The Effects Of Environmental Heterogeneity At Multiple Scales On A Community Of Five Diurnal Lemurs In Betampona Natural Reserve, Madagascar: A Landscape Ecology Approach

To understand a particular species' or community's response to forest fragments, the habitat attributes and the landscape pattern must first be quantified. However, methodology that identifies the influence of landscape pattern and local habitat structural attributes on species or community viability is poorly developed for non-human primates in fragmented forests. Successful primate conservation requires an understanding of how environmental variability at both micro- and macro-scales affects community structure and habitat use. The objective of this research was to identify landscape and local ecological characteristics that affect lemur community richness, abundance, and diversity using spatial analysis at multiple scales in Betampona Natural Reserve, Madagascar. This was accomplished through a landscape ecology perspective to document the effects of environmental heterogeneity on habitat use, behavior, and movement patterns among a community of five diurnal lemurs in a forest fragment. Vegetation structural analysis within forest patches, point-counts, and radio-collar-aided follows, in conjunction with Geographic Information Systems, were methods used to address the disconnect that has emerged involving the importance of landscape spatial pattern and primate extinction risk. The main conclusions of this research include: 1) the quantified patches demonstrate differences in micro - and macro-habitat attributes, 2) variation exists in lemur community structure and diversity indices within the patches, 3) point-count data suggest that micro- and macrohabitat features affect lemur resting, moving, and feeding behaviors, whereas radio-collar-aided follows indicate that macrohabitat has less of an effect on lemur behavior, 4) it is inappropriate to make broad generalizations based on a particular response of one population, one group, or even one individual primate to habitat alteration and extinction risk with any degree of certainty, and 5) consolidating ecological and behavioral variation into a single category such as "fragmentation," undermines the ability to identify correlates of extinction risk. The development of conservation methodology and building comprehensive data sets to understand how biodiversity utilizes its environment at multiple spatial scales is vital. These data will provide information for reforestation and corridor projects in an island nation where forests are disappearing, demanding conservation solutions that aim to reinforce the balance between development and biodiversity.

I have just gotten home from a full day of birds and art. Back a few years ago I suggested to Diane O Shea that we should do an art show and sale to raise money for Tidelands Nature Center. When we got that going, Eric Garvey, and I wanted to do something for birders that were wintering on Jekyll. It was a perfect match so we do the art show and birding around The Great Backyard Bird Count. This was an opportunity to get beginning birders out with good birders in a spirit of learning and counting birds.
Here is my idea. Jekyll Island is eleven miles long and just a few miles wide at the widest point. I divided the island into sections with no overlap of areas. This year four guides volunteered to help, so there were four areas. We met between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. at the Jekyll Island Convention Center. I put up signs about the areas, the guides and the rigor of the field area. The folks choose who they want to go out with to learn. At 9 a.m. the teams are off to count birds. It is important to get an accurate count but it is just important that the beginners learn something from the group. The areas are divided up so there is no rushing around. Take your time to count the birds you see. then talk to each other about the birds and why they are there. Then around noon come back to the Jekyll Island Convention Center to gather around a computer table and see how to enter your data. When we are finished, there are wonderful arts and crafts to look at and take home. We have some incredible artists with wonderful work. It is a great opportunity to take home a little piece of the islands.
My group went down to the south end of the island. It was not as good as Thursday but it was still great. Look!
We carefully counted 710 Dunlin, 55 American Oystercatchers, and 26 American Avocets. To top it off , we had a large pod dolphin just beyond the beach. No not a bad day at all.

Sustainability is built into the very fabric of our DNA.
We strive to be environmentally conscious and inclusive every step of the way, from the servers we use to run our screens to the way our employees get to work every day.
Our network of screens is fully wind-powered, using Wind Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from Terrapass that are Green-e certified.
TransitScreen's global infrastructure runs on the cloud. Our servers are virtual, sharing physical computers with other servers, and run only when we need them — but they still draw a lot of power. Our cloud hosting provider has a 35% sustainable energy mix, so we buy RECs to make up the rest.
Not a single TransitScreen employee commutes to work in a car. We all either walk, take the metro or bus, bike, or even work from home.
When choosing our main office space, we put extra effort to be as centrally located as possible in livable, walkable areas to keep commutes as short and sustainable as possible. We provide public transportation subsidies and corporate memberships to Capital Bikeshare, and our facilities have built-in, secure bike parking.
Part of our mission is to reduce greenhouse gases by decreasing single-occupancy vehicle trips in cities. We know a huge factor in how likely people are to take alternative methods of transportation is real-time information — nobody likes waiting for a bus!
Our screens give people the information they need to make smarter choices, whether that's trying out a new bikeshare or catching the subway home. They open people's eyes to options with which they may not be familiar and give them that nudge to make a change.
We're proud to partner with cities that share our values: equitable and accessible public transportation for all. If you're looking for help achieving your sustainability goals, we'd love to hear from you.

So, I wrote a post about meal planning a little while back. But now it's summer. So you don't have to meal plan in summer right? Well, you might think not, but that's not working out so great for me! I felt like I wanted to be more relaxed for summer. I figured I could just leisurely pick some yummy ingredients, and make meals on the fly and enjoy making meals with plenty of time in the day to enjoy it. Yeah… Ok… What part of me forgot that I still have four busy, demanding children, and a long list of things that need to be done every day?! Or that I'm pregnant and might just not feel like cooking or ya know, thinking, on any given day?! Or the "minor" fact that with out a plan I might not have ingredients in my house that go well together to make an actual meal?! Or… or… or…! Yeah, so, not the best plan! I think it's wonderful to allow things to be more laid back in the summer. I think some leisure helps us to appreciate the structure we need during the rest of the year. And on the same token I think we need to have a bit of release from structure at times just to be able to relax and maybe feel a bit rebellious! Unfortunately I tend to be a bit rebellious by nature, so allowing myself to rebel here and there helps me to "adult" better when I really need to!
I do enjoy being able to spend more time on breakfast and lunch. During the school year I only have so much time in the mornings to feed everyone and pack lunches. So breakfast prep needs to be minimal or everyone ends up eating cold cereal or packaged granola bars! The lunches I pack tend to also be pretty typical and not real exciting. Which is a good reason to be prepared. Since I can do things that take more time, it's nice to make sure that I have all the necessary ingredients. It's really nice being able to make different things and try them out. Other issues as far as lunch goes can be many. If I don't have a plan I often end up telling them "You know what we have, go grab something." Leaving it up to them is ok sometimes, but often leads to poor choices being made. And, I know, you are going to think I'm a terrible mother, but I actually forget to feed them lunch sometimes! I think "Oh yeah, I need to make some lunch." And then before I decide what to make I'm distracted or busy, and the whining starts because everyone's starving! Yes I eventually feed them, but later than normal, and closer to dinner time than I would prefer.
Speaking of dinner, no plan often means no meat set out to thaw! So late lunch isn't the worst thing because we just might have a late dinner too! And the sides are pretty repetitive and boring if I haven't made a menu and thought of different options to offer with each meal, and compliment it nicely.
I leave days blank and try to have the ingredients for a few extra slow cooker meals in case I decide to go somewhere and won't be home in time to cook. I still try to keep it flexible, but for me it's best to have a plan!
Oh, yeah, and as a bonus tip: pre-planning snacks in the summer is a great idea. One that I highly recommend. Kids become bottomless pits when they're home all day and want to snack just about as much as they breath! I get annoyed when they make a lot of bad decisions, so I try to have some healthy, or at least kindof healthy stuff available.
What about you? Any tips on Summer meal planning, cooking, or snacking? I'd love to hear all about them in the comments! I hope you're having a great summer! I'll talk to you soon!
Smile through the Trials!
I do enjoy being able to leisurely cook breakfast, and can do things that are more time consuning
Kids eat junk, or make poor choices
I forget to feed them
We eat later than we should, gets too close to dinner time
Dinner same as always, just easier with a plan. Might forget to get meat out, not know what I have, etc.

Arati is eight years old. She lives in a country called Nepal. In Nepal many people work as farmers, looking after cows or growing food. Life can be quite hard as sometimes people don't have enough to eat and there aren't big supermarkets or shopping malls like the ones we have here.
If someone gets sick they may not always be able to find a doctor or have the money to pay to go to a hospital.
Arati lives in a small village. When she got sick, her mother took her on a bus to the nearest clinic – it took four hours to get there!
Arati has a disease called leprosy. It can be quite difficult for someone to know they have it as it requires a specially-trained doctor to spot. Arati noticed some funny-looking patches on her skin, and when she touched them they felt numb.
If leprosy is not caught early enough it can mean that people are unable to feel pain. What would happen if you touched a hot kettle without realising it was hot? You would pull your hand away very quickly because it hurts! But a person who has leprosy wouldn't know it was hot, they wouldn't have any pain, and they could end up burning their hand very badly.
At the clinic the doctors gave Arati medicine to make her well again. She has to take it for a whole year, but it will mean that she is completely cured!
The doctors are still a little bit worried about Arati because she has some signs that she has lost feeling in her hands and feet. She is also very thin. Her family are poor and they do not always have enough to eat. But, with the help of The Leprosy Mission, the clinic staff will do all that they can to help her.
The Leprosy Mission helps children like Arati by supporting special skin clinics like the one Arati and her mother attended. They also train doctors to spot leprosy. And they run projects to help people like Arati's mother gain new skills so they can earn enough to provide food, a home and education for their children.
Arati's story is featured in our 'Shoes, feet and all things sweet' resources.

I honestly can't believe it's Christmas already – it seems like just yesterday I was prepping for Christmas and year end posts. Just looking back from last year, the things that I really wanted have somewhat changed. I have since gotten engaged and my priorities have changed since becoming more of an adult now (in certain ways). Today I am sharing my very first Christmas related blog post for this holiday season and what way to start my Christmas posts then with a Christmas Wishlist Home Decor.
As many of you guys know I am engaged and currently preparing for my wedding, honeymoon and a new home. My wishlist this year focuses around these big events in my life, other then the usual clothes and makeup I usually buy. I am going to be splitting up my Christmas Wishlist posts into categories. Today I will be mainly focussing on home decor items I would love to have or hoping my fiance would pick up on these hints!
My Christmas Wishlist
1 – Mr Price Maddox chair
2 – Smeg 2 slice toaster in pink
3 – Smeg kettle in pink
4 – Mr Price atomic faux fur bench
5 – Mr Price metallic coffee table
6 – Nespresso coffee machine
I would love to own Smeg appliances, what girl doesn't? They come in an amazing array of colours and they would look good in any kitchen if you ask me. I often shop at Mr Price Home and many homeware things that Justin and I accumulated so far are from Mr Price Home, in my opinion they have some trendy items for a good price and above-mentioned items are what I currently have on my wishlist. Mr Price Home does have many more items I have been lusting after, hopefully once I have saved some money I will be able to add them to my collection.
It was hard to narrow these down to 6 items, a girl can dream and these are my top home decor items that are currently on my Chirstmas Wishlist this year.0

Updated | Youth dies after falling from back of ute on 4WD track at Lucas Heights
Police have warned of the dangers of travelling without a seatbelt following the death of a teenager, who fell from the back of a moving ute at Lucas Heights.
Aaron Tonkinson, 18, died when the Toyota Hilux hit a ditch on a 4WD drive track off Heathcote Road about 8.15 on Thursday.
The driver and his other passenger assisted the injured youth until paramedics arrived, but Aaron died at the scene.
The driver, 18, was taken to Sutherland Hospital for mandatory testing.
He was later charged with dangerous driving occasioning death, negligent driving occasioning death, not fastening seatbelt properly and two counts of having an unrestrained passenger.
"Sadly, these events have occurred in the past where people have either lost their lives or been seriously injured," NSW Traffic and Highway Patrol chief inspector Phil Brooks said.
So far this year, 183 people have been killed on NSW roads. Data from the NSW Centre for Road Safety shows that 85 were drivers, 28 were passengers, 25 were motorcyclists, 38 were pedestrians and six were cyclists. More than three-quarters of those killed were male.
Chief Inspector Brooks said the data reflected the risks some people were taking.
"With [183] lives lost so far this year, it's that many family, friends and loved ones that have had to suffer the pain and suffering of losing someone on our roads," he said.
"The key element for all road users is personal responsibly: drivers, riders, cyclists and pedestrians all have a role in sharing our roads and being aware of their surroundings to make sure that everyone gets to and from their destination safely."
Of the passenger fatalities - which include people travelling in ute trays - Chief Inspector Brooks said not wearing a seatbelt was a critical factor.
"It's those passengers not wearing seatbelts that find themselves in the greatest difficulty," he said
A man has been charged after a teenager fell from a utility tray and died at Lucas Heights yesterday.
About 8.15pm yesterday emergency services were called to a 4WD track off Heathcote Road at Lucas Heights, after reports a man fell from the utility tray of a Toyota Hilux.
The driver and his other passenger, a 19-year-old man, assisted the 18-year-old man until the arrival of NSW Ambulance paramedics, but he died at the scene.
The driver, also aged 18, was taken to Sutherland Hospital for mandatory testing.
Officers from Sutherland Shire Police Area Command established a crime scene.
Traffic and Highway Patrol police commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Following his release from hospital, the 18-year-old was arrested and taken to Sutherland Police Station where he was charged with dangerous driving occasioning death, negligent driving occasioning death, driver not fasten seatbelt properly and unrestrained passenger (x2).
The teen was granted conditional bail to appear at Sutherland Local Court on Thursday 30 August 2018.
A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

The posts so far have taken us to the end of April. Next, I needed covered space to build the boat and the garage was full of junk. Many weekends passed with the labour of tidying the garage somehow taking second place to other more pressing or enjoyable activities.
So I'll use the pause to let you in on the Master Plan. As I said in Post 1, my son Adam wants to build a Pocketship, which theoretically will fit in the garage – just – but with no room to actually work on it, so we might have to alter that plan. Space aside, the skills required are beyond both of us right now, so we hatched a plan to acquire the skills. The Canoe is in fact PandA II (P-and-A II). This is PandA:
As Adam has pointed out, it's not PandA I yet, as PandA II has not yet been launched. PandA is an Ace Sloop made from a kit. It was useful to be able to practice our boat building, in particular varnishing and painting, as all your brush strokes are so much more significant on a model. I think we'll get away with a lot more on a larger boat where our little errors will not be noticed (except by us!)
And this is PandA I sailing on the Round Pond in Kensington Gardens:
If all goes well with the Cheap Canoe, PandA III will be a sailing dinghy, although if we get into canoeing in a big way, it might just be a better canoe!
