The Process of Psychosexual Development
Psychosexual development is a critically important area of human growth, whether a person enters priesthood or religious life, marries or remains single. "Both research and everyday observation indicate that a large percentage of problems in religious life and in marriage can be traced to faulty psychosexual growth."[1] So we can say that psychosexual development is another word for "growing up" in our relational lives. It is our personal journey toward integration as embodied human persons.
Psychosexual development refers to that dynamic interplay of experiences, circumstances, phases, tasks, awareness, and decisions that lead us toward mature and loving relationships. It is a process of growth that embraces all aspects of our human reality. Healthy psychosexual development includes six dimensions. They are given in the following table:
When any of these six dimensions are absent or limited, or if they develop in unhealthy ways, our journey toward sexual integration will in some way be hindered or slowed down leading to our sexual energy being expressed in ways that are hurtful to ourselves and others.[3] To become psychosexually mature, a person must pass through a series of stages and phases, each comprising developmental tasks that are normal and natural. Each stage must be learned and successfully completed before progression to the next step is possible. In the face of these developmental tasks people have three choices: to progress through these stages at the appropriate time; to progress in a stunned, delayed fashion; or to fixate at a particular step and not progress beyond it.[4] Let me describe briefly each stages. I take three stages as important for our discussion: adolescence stage, early adulthood and middle adulthood stages.
Adolescence Stage
Adolescence is characterized by profound biological, psychological, and social developmental changes. It is considered to be one of the stormiest times in the life cycle. It is commonly divided into three periods: early (ages 11 to 14), middle (ages 14 to 17), and late (ages 17 to 20). These divisions are arbitrary; growth and development occur along a continuum that varies from person to person.[5] "Traditionally the adolescent has been characterized as idealistic, unstable, rebellious, uncertain, loving, dependent, conforming, and, above all, as sexually confused."[6] The biological onset of adolescence is signalled by rapid acceleration of skeletal growth and the beginning of physical sexual development. The psychological onset is characterized by acceleration of cognitive development and consolidation of personality formation. Socially, adolescence is a period of intensified preparation for the coming role of young adulthood. Let us now proceed to look at the sexual developmental phases at this stage.
With the emergence of secondary sex characteristics, a powerful new energy becomes present in the adolescent's body. They naturally explore their sexuality. In early adolescence, the random, generally disconnected sexual thoughts and feelings of childhood begin to weave themselves into thematic fantasies. In these fantasies, adolescents imagine themselves to be in sexual and romantic situations with real or imagined people. These fantasies enable the adolescents to integrate emotions and intellect with genital sexuality and lead them towards socially oriented sexuality. Many boys will experience their first nocturnal emission in early adolescence. This experience may be confusing or pleasurable and may include sexual fantasies.[7]
Middle adolescence is a time of being highly distracted and absorbed by sexuality and sexually related physical changes. They masturbate with more frequency and intensity than any other phase. They are preoccupied with sex-related issues, such as sexually oriented books, magazines or T.V. programs, and with clothes, music, dates, and dances. Homosexual experiences, usually transient, may also occur in middle adolescence. Many adolescents need reassurance about the normality of an isolated homosexual experience and confirmation that it does not indicate a permanent homosexual orientation.[8] During late adolescence, boys and girls spend increasingly more time together and sometimes even engage in sexual acts like kissing, petting etc. Sexual relating during this phase is primarily experimental, self-centered, and mixed with other needs and emotions. They need education and guidance to integrate their sexuality into celibate way of life.
Early Adulthood Stage
This period extends from the end of adolescence to the mid-thirties. Early adulthood is the time of peak physical abilities (e.g. strength, speed, agility, fertility), the assumption of major social roles, and the evolution of an adult self and life structure. The successful passage into adulthood depends on satisfactory resolution of childhood and adolescent crises. The 20s are spent, for the most part, exploring options for occupation and marriage or alternative relationships, and making commitments in various areas.[9] In this period the tasks are enormous as they are exhilarating: to shape a Dream, that vision of ourselves which will generate energy, aliveness and hope. To prepare for a lifework. To form the capacity for intimacy.[10]
Throughout this stage, the individual has the opportunity to further develop sexual maturity. Biologically the young adult begins to engage a sexual lifestyle, i.e., celibacy, commitment to marriage, or promiscuity. It is during this stage people become psychosexually more confident, altruistic, and integrated. According to Michael E. Cavanagh the stage of adult sexuality has two phases: phase of psychosexual mutuality and psychosexual integration. At the Psychosexual Mutuality phase there is a passage from viewing heterosexual relationships as instruments of attaining affirmation and gratification to viewing them as opportunities to express and share care, trust, and affection. They learn to strike a balance between intimacy and vulnerability, self-centeredness and self-denial, affection and possessiveness, reality and romance. They learn to be sensitive, tender, and compassionate; to be a source of support and joy. But this phase is not an easy passage. Many young adults also experience a certain fixation at this stage. This fixation is due to the lack of overall psychosocial competencies necessary to complete these developmental learning successfully. Adults who are fixated relate to others superficially and find it hard when it comes to deeper relationships and commitments.
Young adults arrive at the next phase of Psychosexual Integration approximately at the age of 30. This is the time the psychosexual needs gradually assume their place among other, equally important values. Depending on a person's life commitment the psychosexual needs share priorities. It is this psychosexual integration which beautifies the life choices of people, such as marriage, priesthood or religious life.[11] Sexual dysfunction at this stage typically includes problems with sexual desire or sexual performance. It can include the full range of hypersexual behaviours as well as hypo sexual ones.[12]
Middle Adulthood Stage
The ages that define middle adulthood vary among theorists, but the period typically spans the years from 40 to 65.[13] The transition from early adulthood involves a process of reviewing the past, considering how life has gone, and deciding what future will be like. They may wonder whether the lifestyle and the commitments they chose in early adulthood are worth continuing; they may feel that they would like to live their remaining years in a different way, without knowing exactly how. People may also experience what is called the "midlife crisis" at this stage. This term does not have a fixed meaning and has been used by writers to describe a wide range of emotional struggles a person may face during this period. Men and women who are more prone to midlife crisis tend to come from families characterized by one or more of the following during their adolescence: parental discord, withdrawal by the same-sex parent, anxious parents, or impulsive parents with a low sense of responsibility.[14]
Sexuality is a major issue in midlife. At the biological level, adults are challenged to deal with andropause, the male equivalent of menopause, and its meaning and consequences for their lives. Decreases in sexual desire, arousal, and performance, less energy, longer healing time after illnesses and injuries, loss of muscle mass, and associated signs of aging are painful realities and insults to an individual's sense of self and self-esteem. A major challenge, therefore, is to accept these physical changes as a call to focus on one's interior life while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Psychologically, the major challenge at this stage is to become more fully the persons they were meant to be by becoming more single-minded, more loving and caring, and more whole. It means achieving better balance between autonomy and intimacy and between self-interest and self-surrender. Socially, the adult engages in generative behaviours, i.e., focuses on giving back to the community with volunteer activities, etc.[15] "Erikson defined generativity as the process by which persons guide the oncoming generation or improve society."[16] This stage includes having and rising children. But a childless person can be generative by helping others, by being creative, and by contributing to the society.
Spiritually, the task is to develop spiritual intimacy. Individuals at this stage can respond to the dual desire and longing for intimacy and transcendence by becoming more sensitive to relationships through putting others' needs and interests first and by becoming more meditative and prayerful. Individuals in this stage are more attracted to Centering prayer and related forms of meditation than in previous stages. The basic personal task at this stage is to become more centered and balanced, while the basic relational task at this stage is to reconfirm one's basic sexual lifestyle option. For most priests, this is celibacy that is, if they follow an integrative developmental trajectory. Sexual dysfunction at this stage typically includes problems with sexual desire or sexual performance. It can include the full range of hypersexual behaviours noted above, as well as the hypo-sexual ones. Also, unique to this stage is the experience of social isolation, loneliness, and depression that often reflects a non-integrative sense of sexuality.[17]

Monroe Town Hall Offices
7 Fan Hill Road
Monroe, Connecticut 06468
HOURSMonday - Thursday
The office of Justice of the Peace originated in England and was brought to this country by the early colonists. The office existed in Connecticut in some form from the beginning of the colony.
At one time when this State had a multi-tiered Court system with substantial judicial business being conducted by municipal and city Court judges, the elected Justice of the Peace had substantial authority with respect to the administration of minor Courts in this State. Over the years, the scope of authority of this official has been narrowed so that in 1988 the role of the Justice of the Peace is limited to certain grants of authority enumerated by statute.
The number of Justices of the Peace for the Town of Monroe is set at thirty (30). Ten Justices of the Peace are nominated by each of the major parties and ten Justices are chosen per state statute from among the unaffiliated and minor party members. Justices are selected during the year of the Presidential election and serve a four-year term.

t its highest level, good design isn't just beautiful, or func- tional; it's also thoughtful – and sometimes thought-pro- voking. Indeed, thoughtful attention to detail, creative and unexpected material choices, a harmonious balance of tex- tures, colors and materials, unique ways of re-imagining spaces and the ability to tap into people's emotional centers are some of the elements that take design to the next level. All of these and more were on display in the winning projects honored in this year's Kitchen & Bath Design Awards, an independent design competition that honors outstanding, innovative and thoughtfully designed kitchen, bath and oth- er-room projects. KBDN's design awards, now in their second year, are open to kitchen and bath design professionals whose projects were com- pleted between November 1, 2015 and May 19, 2017, with projects judged in nine different categories: Best Kitchen Over $200,000; Best Kitchen $100,000-$200,000; Best Kitchen Under $100,000; Best Master Bath Over $50,000; Best Master Bath Under $50,000; Best Powder Room; Best Kitchen Showroom; Best Universal Design Kitchen or Bath, and Best Specialty Project. A panel of top design professionals judged the Kitchen & Bath Design Awards entries in a two-step process, with judging criteria including aesthetic appeal, functionality of the space, attention to detail, handling of unusual situations, origi- nality, selection of colors and finishes and overall impression. This year's judges included: Richard Anuszkiewicz, Richar Living, Annapolis, MD; Diane Foreman, CKD, Neil Kelly Co., Seattle, WA; Cathy Sparling, CKD, CBD, C Spar Designs, Addison, IL; Cassia Wyner, CW Design, LLC, Brookline, MA, and Alan Zielinski, CKD, Better Kitchens, Inc., Niles, IL. ELEMENTS THAT SHINE So what excited the judges? For Richard Anuszkiewicz, clean lines and bold color were stand-out qualities in the winning kitchens, and he notes, "I really loved a few of the winners that pushed the thought process of material execution." These included the Gold winner in the Best Kitchen Over $200,000 category, which "showcased a brass transitional inset bead with shagreen leather drawer heads…that was special." He also cited the Bronze winner in the same category, which featured "an orange LaCornue range with navy cabinetry [that] was very fresh in color selection. And one of my favorites," he continues, "was the [Bronze winner in the Kitchens $100,000- $200,000 category] which had an exotic linear wall paper – it was Clean, crisp lines, bold color, rustic textures, unique storage applications, lighting as art, mixed use of metals and attention to detail highlighted the winning designs in KBDN's second annual Kitchen & Bath Design Awards competition.

He looks very young, wears lots of denim, and has floppy hair. Unflattering Angle Keanu gave a speech about his love of Kung-Fu and his directorial debut A Man of Tai Chi.Most press coverage focused on his weight gain instead, at which point, he probably transformed back into Sad Keanu. Evil Lawyer Keanu (The Devil's Advocate, 1997) Evil Lawyer Keanu, distinguished by his ability to look nice in suits and be generally amoral, made his debut in the deliciously over-the-top 1997 thriller The Devil's Advocate.Europe has been a place of battles and political intrigue for centuries.
Off stage, he donned the white jacket to play Don John in the 1993 film adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. Cartoon Keanu Swiftly after finishing his job as Matrix Keanu, Reeves allowed himself to be digitally filmed and then animated for Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly, in which he played Bob Arctor, a paranoid, drug-taking detective based on Philip K Dick's creation. Reeves stars as John Constantine, star of DC's Hellblazer comics and man with the ability to crack enamel baths and create impromptu bathroom fountains due to his otherworldly connections. The 2001 romance, (sickly) Sweet November, starred Reeves alongside Charlize Theron, who played a woman dying of cancer, who picks a new man to date each month.The film was redeemed mainly by the fact that it featured five frothy white poodles; Reeves is seen here, displaying his "bemused by abundance of dogs" face.His character has an important role in the film's climax, but his best scene is arguably the one in which he and a young Uma Thurman make terrible-sounding music. Tedious Bus Hero Keanu (Speed, 1994) Tedious Bus Hero Keanu saves the day in the 1994 film Speed, by taking control of a bus that must be kept at 50mph, to prevent an on-board bomb exploding and killing all the passengers. Unshaven Indie Hero Keanu (Feeling Minnesota, 1996) Unshaven Indie Hero Keanu, complete with requisite stubble and checked shirts, appears alongside Cameron Diaz, Vincent D'Onofrio and Courtney love in Feeling Minnesota.Reeves' SWAT officer Jack Traven is strong and capable, with a very un-Keanu-like short, manly haircut. Diaz's character, a former stripper, is supposed to be marrying D'Onofrio, but runs off with his brother (Reeves) instead.AV In one of the best bad movies of all time, Point Break, Reeves plays an FBI agent who must start working undercover as a Nineties surfer dude, because of reasons.
Keanu, as the expertly named Johnny Utah, had never been surfing before shooting started on the film, but he gets plenty of time on the board with the cameras rolling. He answers mobile phones that ring as he opens the packet on time! Shakespearean Keanu (Much Ado About Nothing 1993) Among Keanu's small collection of film paraphernalia lies a cherished sword from Hamlet, which he may or may not use against intruders. As American Sargeant Paul Sutton, Sexy Keanu rescues a woman pregnant out of wedlock and amicably annuls his marriage to the last woman he had a whirlwind romance with.
Things are very serious with them.'The model-turned-photographer has previously graced the cover of Vogue Paris and Hugo Boss, including posing with Cindy Crawford in 2011 Harper's Bazaar Singapore.
In August of last year, Jezebel reported the love birds met while Bryan photographed Sandra's son's birthday party.
At the Cathedral, after Angela tries to delete her profile at fake Angela's computer, she approaches the window to check out the fire engines outside. You can see this flag overhead the crowd of Cathedral employees at the next scene (the scene when the fake Angela asks the fireman about the smoke).
This means that the Cathedral employees are just somewhere near the flag but at Angela's perspective, the crowd of Cathedral employees are nowhere near the flag. Things just don't add up and some of the suspense is a little corny. There is a lot of tension in this story which has strong paranoia running through it.
Reeves plays Kevin Lomax, a hotshot young defence attorney who stars off by defending guilty child molesters, and ends up working for a firm run by the devil himself (played by a rather suave Al Pacino). Excellent Keanu (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, 1989) Did Rock Keanu inform Excellent Keanu, or did Excellent Keanu inspire Rock Keanu? Complete with luscious bowl cut, Reeves was cast as Ted "Theodore" Logan, opposite Alex Winter as Bill S Preston.

Improve early detection and support long-term condition management amongst Māori.
CVD includes coronary heart disease, circulation, stroke and other diseases of the heart. Māori have higher rates of CVD hospitalisations and mortality, and CVD is the leading cause of death for Canterbury Māori. Diabetes can lead to CVD, amputation, blindness and kidney failure. Diabetes rates are increasing, and Māori rates are about three times higher than other New Zealanders'. Canterbury Māori are over five times more likely to die from Type II diabetes than non-Māori.
Both CVD and diabetes are strongly influenced by risk behaviours such as poor nutrition, lack of physical activity and tobacco smoking. Prevention, early intervention and management support can reduce inequalities and the burden of these long-term conditions amongst Māori.
The CDHB will identify areas of significance for Māori to support future service planning and delivery, as well as develop new diabetes packages of care that will promote better diabetes management, improve referrals pathways and provide education for Māori newly diagnosed with diabetes.

Energy Analysis
Figure 3.1: Energy analyses of Sprout Space alternatives.
A n energy simulation calculates the heating and cooling energy required to keep the building at a comfortable temperature throughout the year (typically this means keeping the building between 19 C and 26 C). Before running the simulation we need to define the attributes of each room in terms of their adjacency, internal loads, occupancy scheduling, and the material properties of the room.
Energy simulation uses details of the spaces, building constructions, and weather data to calculate the temperature inside each room for every hour of the year (8760 hours) to calculate the heating and cooling energy required to keep the temperature inside each room comfortable when people are using each room.
The Honeybee and Ladybug components for Grasshopper used in this tutorial are simply an interface to an engine called EnergyPlus, version 8.5.0, which does the calculations described above. The Honeybee + Ladybug specific installation instruction can be found here.
The OpenStudio component used in this tutorial also interfaces with EnergyPlus and Radians. In addition, the OpenStudio multi-platform adds a Software Development Kit (SDK) that enables extension and customization. Detailed information can be found here

Setting the model up
When we run an energy simulation we actually call rooms in a building zones. While a room is just geometry, a zone has many more attributes, including the amount of lighting W/m2, the number of people and the equipment in the zone. These three attributes cause heat gain (W/m2) in the zone which will affect the final heating and cooling load of the zone.
A compressed example workflow is shown below, while the next sections will detail the Energy Modeling section of the Sprout Space workflow.
*Figure 3.2: An example workflow (Not SproutSpace workflow) showing how Grasshopper Breps (Boundary Representations) can be taken and converted to Honeybee zones, this workflow is more compressed than seen in the SproutSpace Grasshopper file. The components here are represented by their names and not their icons unlike in the Sprout Space workflow shown below
Convert Mass to Zones
The component Mass2Zones (Figure 3.3) converts Grasshopper Breps to Honeybee zones if the toggle button is true (Figure 3.3). As described above the B-rep can be thought of as a room while a Honeybee Zone is simply a zone. Figure 3.3: Mass2Zones component
*Figure 3.4: The resulting representation of the geometry of a Honeybee Zone
Zone Adjacencies
When different zones are placed adjacent to each other (meaning that the geometry of one zone is touching the geometry of another zone) heat and air is exchanged between the zones resulting in heating and cooling loads (measured in W/m2) in the zone. For this reason we must solve to find which zones are directly adjacent to one another. The solveAdjc component does this.
Figure 3.2 shows that the solveAdjc component is placed after the Mass2Zone component, because after geometry is converted to zones, the adjacencies must be found for each zone.
Add Glazing Surfaces
Unless zones are basements or data centers they should have windows. The addHBBGlz component takes window geometry in the input childSurfaces and, if the window geometry is co-planar to the walls and roofs of a zone passed into HBObj, the windows are added to that zone (Figure 3.4).
Figure 3.4: Visualization of the Honeybee zones once windows are added
Loads and Schedule
The SetLoadsAndSchedules component enables setting the zone schedules (Figure 3.5) for when occupants come and go and leave the zone, for when lights are turned on and off, and for when heating cooling and ventilation is turned on and off.
These schedules are combined with the amount of lighting, equipment and number of occupants in a zone, resulting in a heat gain (measured in per W/m2) over the time period of the schedule. This heat gain heats the zone and is used later to determine the heating and cooling required to keep the zone within a comfortable temperature.
This component is inheriting default schedules and figures from the component listProgramZones which is providing a default "program" for a primary school, which was created by the Department of Energy.
Figure 3.5: Schedules and loads
Set Ventilation and Air Change Rates
These two components are used to set the amount of ventilation in each zone. One component ACH2m3/s-m2 is used to calculate the infiltration rate in the zone. Infiltration is the air change in the zone due to leaks from cracks and doors etc. This is usually a very difficult number to quantify without measuring it with blower door tests and so by default it is set to 0.6 air changes per hour.
The component ACH2m3/s-m2 calculates how much air is required in m3/s-m2 in order to achieve a air change rate of 0.6 air changes per hour by infiltration for each zone. This number is then plugged into the infiltrationRatePerArea input on the component setEPZoneLoads which then sets the infiltration for each zone. The ventilationPerArea and ventilationPerPerson rates for each zone are also set by the setEPZoneLoads component as seen in the Grashopper file. These rates are taken from ASHRAE 62.1. All other inputs not set on setEPZoneLoads have been set by the default program for a primary school by SetLoadsAndSchedules.
Set Zone heating and cooling set points
The setEPZoneThersholds component sets the temperatures at which both rooms are conditioned to. Cooling will be used when the temperature is too high to bring it back to the cooling set point temperature (26 C), while heating will be used when the temperature is too low to bring it back to the heating set point temperature (18 C).
Context Shading Surfaces
In both Daylighting and Energy simulations there will often be context surfaces that are not part of the zones that we created, but that shade the zone none the less and thereby affect the zone's heating and cooling loads. These surfaces are added to both simulations by the HB_EPContextSrf component.
This section corresponds to the specification of the attributes and values of the building materials (Figure 3.6) that determine the energy flow through the envelope of the building.
Figure 3.6: Set construction process and main components
Set Constructions
To finish adding the information about zones, we must also describe the materials which enclose the zones using the component setEPZoneCnstr. This component assigns materials to the walls,windows,roofs,skylights and floors of the zones. The properties of these materials describe the U-value of the material (W/m2 K), and are used in the energy simulation to determine the heat transfer in and out of the zone (in W/m2), which will affect the heating and cooling load.
With regards to daylighting the component setRADMaterials is used to set the color (in RGB values), roughness (0 to 1 scale) and reflectance of the finishes inside each zone as well as the transparency (0 to 1 factor for the blue,red and green spectrums) of the windows.
Decompose Model into Components
The decomposeByType node decomposes the model into components. If the selected only preview is turned on, you can visualize the different components (Figure 3.7) of the model
Figure 3.7: An Example visualization of the opaque and glazing surfaces
Energy Simulation
The Energy Analysis section (Figure 3.8) calculates the heating and cooling energy required to keep the building comfortable.
Figure 3.8: Energy simulation process and main components
Weather File
The Open weather file component imports an epw weather file (Figure 3.9) as a string which provides weather data (temperature, humidity, etc.) for every hour of the year. Save the file in any local folder. Avoid Box or Dropbox folder since their encryption creates conflicts while Ladybug plugin reads it.
Figure 3.9: Content of the epw weather file
Run Simulation
For the energy simulation the exportToOpenStudio component interfaces with EnergyPlus and writes all the geometry and relationships that were entered into the components above. This information, along with the weather file information, calculates the temperature of the room in the building for every hour of the year. If the temperature is too high or low, heating or cooling is used to make the temperature comfortable, and energy use required for each zone can be calculated.
Read Results
The outputs computed by the runEnergySimulation component can be seen through the readEPResult in terms of kW/h (Figure3.10).

Dr. Kirkpatrick and his Bakersfield staff also want to communicate effectively with you. We know that sometimes this can be a little difficult, but tools like intraoral cameras can help get the ball rolling! An intraoral camera is wand-shaped, and they're sterilized after each use. We cover it with a protective plastic slip to eliminate patient-to-patient contamination, too. When we spot an area that needs a little more attention, we can give you a better look with the camera. A member of our team can project the video feed from the camera onto a chairside monitor, and you'll be able to see the space for yourself!
Kirkpatrick Dentistry is equipped with digital X-rays for the safety of our patients. Digital imaging can reduce your exposure to radiation by as much as 90 percent when compared to traditional X-Rays. Dr. Kirkpatrick wants to maintain the overall wellness of his patients as he works to keep smiles healthy.
It can be difficult to see a cavity. The DIAGNOdent caries detection system assists us in locating weakened enamel that could develop into one of those pesky problem areas. If we discover a cavity or a weakened area that could soon develop a cavity, we'll proceed with the proper course of treatment. Our Bakersfield patients appreciate that Dr. Kirkpatrick has invested in DIAGNOdent to better preserve their teeth and oral health.
Kirkpatrick Dentistry has CEREC one-visit crown technology to assist those who have broken a tooth. With CEREC equipment, Dr. Kirkpatrick can examine, create, and place a customized permanent crown in a single trip to our Bakersfield office. Eliminate the unnecessary step of needing a temporary crown replaced until your permanent crown comes in by opting to have your appliance created with our in-office CEREC equipment.
Please call us to schedule your appointment today. Dr. Kirkpatrick has a number of dental services to provide patients from Bakersfield, Lamont, McFarland, Wasco, or other close California towns. If you're new to Kirkpatrick Dentistry, please take a look at our new patient page.

Campo to Focus on VP Duties
Badgett Named GM at Gulfstream
Camac Promoted to Racing Secretary
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Due to his growing responsibilities as Vice President of Racing for The Stronach Group, P.J. Campo has relinquished his role as General Manager of Gulfstream Park.
Campo will spend additional time working with The Stronach Group's Chief Operating Officer Tim Ritvo on ways to coordinate the racing schedules and race meets at all Stronach Group tracks while studying the feasibility of shared services and a centralized racing office.
Bill Badgett will assume the role of General Manager at Gulfstream effective immediately and Chris Camac has been named racing secretary.
Campo, who served as both Vice President of Racing and General Manager at Gulfstream for the past four years, said: "We've done a lot of great things these past several years at Gulfstream and we've succeeded in creating a year-round racing program again in Florida. We still believe there's more room for growth in the Florida market. I'm excited to continue my work with The Stronach Group and Tim to help develop all our markets."
Badgett, who has served as a consultant the past three years for The Stronach Group, was a noted horseman for 35 years, mainly in New York and Florida. Badgett trained nearly 600 winners as well as Breeders' Cup champion Go for Wand and graded-stakes winners Bevo, Clark Street, Timo and End Sweep.
"I'm honored and excited about my expanded role with The Stronach Group," Badgett said. "We have an incredible team at Gulfstream. I've learned a great deal these past three years from Tim and P.J. and I'm excited to get started."
Camac, a third generation horseman whose father Charlie was a noted racing official in Florida and New Jersey for five decades, has served as assistant racing secretary under Campo the past 10 years, three in Florida and seven while Campo was VP of Racing, Director of Racing at all three New York tracks – Saratoga, Belmont and Aqueduct.

Again, a handful of Egyptians strike with their hypocrite positions;
The same people whom divided Montreal Egyptian and stayed 8 month silent of the atrocities taking place in Egypt, they strike again with lines of lies and hypocrisy, claiming that they defend freedom of expression but really they still:
- Welcome and support a coup against a democratic elected president
- Prompt dictatorship
- Support the killing of innocent people been killed in the street of Egypt everyday
- Support the imprisoning of tens of thousands of Egyptians
- Try to associate an Egyptian charity group, Muslim Brotherhood, to terrorism and violence and the killing of soldiers and tourist
- While the MB condemned all act of violence in Egypt include what is going on in Sinai, these individuals deny this reality and state lies.
- Show their trust of the corrupted juridical system in Egypt
- Didn't say word on the silence of media under the coup
Can't they see kids been targeted killed by the coup forces, can't they see the kids been imprisoned, some of these people present themselves sometime as progressive thinkers and they are not more than masked hypocrite, anti-democratic, coup agents.
Are we going to hear from them another hypocrite positions on the corrupted juridical system in Egypt, especially after sentencing 520 human to death!

Katrina Hess is Boston's most sought after make-up artist. She has been named "Best of Boston" four times by Boston Magazine, and she has made brides look and feel beautiful for thousands upon thousands of weddings. It's safe to say she's seen what works and what doesn't work during that key morning preparation so whether you're working with a professional or doing your own make-up, here are the top 10 things every bride needs to consider the day of her wedding.
1.Change the look of your make-up in between the ceremony and the reception for a greater variety of photos and style. I like romantic and soft for the ceremony and then, especially if it's an evening reception, enhancing make-up with a more dramatic eyeliner or a richer lip color. Some brides buy a second dress to achieve this change, but a simple shift in make-up can do it without taxing your budget.
2. Think about your wedding venue, the weather that day and the lighting throughout the day. Is your ceremony outdoors, but your reception is indoors? Is it sunny or overcast? Are you in a candlelit ballroom or a funky loft space? Your make-up should be adjusted to play off all of these factors.
3. Give thought to the vibe of the room that you're getting ready in. Set a tone for it. Even if you have a large wedding party, too many people in the room can be really overwhelming. Prioritize a calm, relaxing atmosphere.
4. If your eyes are puffy, dip caffeinated tea bags (Lipton will do) into a bucket of ice for 15 minutes. Ring out the cold bags and then place them on the eye lids for 10 minutes. I do this to brides quite a bit the morning of the wedding.
5. Brides should never get their make-up done last; go right in the middle of your wedding party, and ideally get it done in stages. You'll be in the chair 2-3 times instead of just once since you want certain components of your look, like powder and lips, to be as fresh as possible.
6. Nobody ever knows when to get dressed. Tell your bridesmaids they should be make-up/hair ready and dressed before you so that they are ready for the photos of them dressing you.
7. Eat early on, and don't be afraid to eat plenty of carbs, before it gets hectic. That said, make sure to floss and brush before final lipstick touch-ups.
8. Get your make-up done in a well lit room with plenty of natural light, especially for outdoor weddings. I always use a hot light for both day and evening weddings.
9. Be organized with not only your dress, but your rings, shoes, earrings, jewelry, purse etc. so that the photographer can take pictures of them and not disturb you while getting you're make-up and hair done.
10. Look in the mirror as many times as you need to - even 100. You have never seen your full look come together so taking in exactly how it looks allows you to soak up the moment before the day goes by in a flash. And it leads to confidence walking down the aisle.

Lonely Planet picks Leeds for 'top European destinations' in 2017
Leeds has been named one of this year's top European destinations by a leading travel guide.
Lonely Planet put the West Yorkshire city fifth on its list of best places to visit in Europe - saying it had shrugged off its "industrial past".
Zagreb in Croatia is named in first place, followed by Gotland in Sweden.
Leeds was praised for its "urban regeneration", "flourishing cultural scene", "thriving nightlife and "reputation for food and craft beer".
Lonely Planet's Best in Europe list is published each year, highlighting the most exciting destinations.
James Smart, Lonely Planet UK destination editor, said: "Once defined by its industrial past, Leeds is now a confident, cultural hub in the north of England.
"With major events this year, including the reopening of Leeds Art Gallery and the 50th anniversary of Leeds Carnival, there's never been a better time to head to Yorkshire and join the party."
Mr Smart said all the destinations offer "something new, exciting or undiscovered that make them worth exploring right now."
Lonely Planet's top 10 European destinations
1. Zagreb, Croatia :: 2. Gotland, Sweden :: 3. Galicia, Spain :: 4. Northern Montenegro :: 5. Leeds, UK :: 6. Alentejo, Portugal :: 7. Northern Germany :: 8. Moldova :: 9. Paphos, Cyprus :: 10. Le Havre, France
Judith Blake, leader of Leeds City Council, said it was a "fabulous endorsement" for the city.
"To be recognised as one of the top places in Europe, we can all be incredibly proud of," she said.
"It's particularly encouraging to see the quality of our city's impressive cultural, leisure and nightlife scenes acknowledged and I hope this recognition means we will soon be welcoming even more visitors from across Europe and beyond."
At number one, Lonely Planet said Zagreb was "often overlooked" in favour of Croatia's extensive Adriatic coastline.
"This booming inland capital is both cosmopolitan and edgy, combining sun-splashed Austro-Hungarian squares brimming with coffee drinkers with a heady mix of Brutalist architecture, thriving street art and urban regeneration."

Happy March everyone!
I was going to do a food review for RICCI Creative Eats since that is long overdue as well as prep for an entry for my flight back to GZ where I was upgraded to Business class because of a full flight.
However, my internet has been terrible. It hasn't really improved at all since Monday and so I can't upload any photos. *sighs* I hope it'll be better soon. Not even sure if I'll be able to post this entry -3-
Now that my plan A and B are thwarted, I'm not quite sure what to write…
Oh, I tried making a mug cake on Monday. It's a self-saucing chocolate decadent (apparently) but sadly didn't quite work out for me. I wonder if it was because I used butter instead of oil and that might have changed the consistency of the batter. May try it again if the mood strikes, but for now, I'll probably stick to baking in the oven.
I also haven't been feeling well yesterday or today. After the 9 hours of sleep on Sunday night, I seemed to fail at going to bed early enough for a good, solid 8 hours for two nights straight. So I went from being energetic and cheerful on Monday, to just exhausted yesterday and feeling a bit unwell today.
Hoping to counter that with a good sleep today and starting tomorrow bright and early. I was supposed to be on the 500 calories today as well as part of my 5:2 plan but I wasn't as strict as I normally would be. Wouldn't be too good to starve your body when you're ill so ate some Chinese cabbage as well as soup on tops of my boiled egg whites and banana for lunch. That seemed to do the trick.
Still came home feeling very tired and was just lounging around on the couch. Couldn't peel myself off it until half past 6pm to go take a shower. Cooked some rice as well so I have something substantial to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning. Can't wait xD
//Just checked with the uploading images, still uploading… Man…
Anyway, I might use tonight to write some more then. Got a request to continue with my 'A Classic' story so I'll like to explore Vanessa's and Darren's stories more.
Hope you are all having a good week so far. We are half way through the weekdays now, not too long till the weekend!
With love,

Boys Varsity Football
The Arlington Country Day football team recently moved from 7 on 7 club football to tradition 11-man football. The football team has been steadily building over the past few years into a team that is known for playing anyone, anywhere.
The 2012 team played at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, FL in addition to games across Florida and South Georgia. While playing games across the region many college coaches have had the opportunity to evaluate ACD's talent. This has sparked interest in several of the ACD football players with regard to potential scholarship offers to attend college.
One notable alumnus is Gerald McCloud who went on to play collegiately at Clemson University.
There are always an abundance of volunteer assistants willing to give of their time and knowledge to make the football experience at ACD a memorable one.
The Apaches finished off the 2012 campaign by winning the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association (SIAA) state championship.
Girls Varsity Basketball
The Arlington Country Day Lady Apaches have enjoyed quite a bit of success over the years sending several young ladies on to play in the college ranks. The 2012 squad led by Coach Michael Martin flourished with a solid group of underclassmen has set a new standard for our team.
The Lady Apaches stand poised to make a bonafide run at the SIAA State Title.
Meet Coach Cunningham
Coach Charles Cunningham, brings with him a wealth of coaching experience which included 28 + years at the Division I level and six postseason appearances.
Cunningham added to his postseason resume in 2011, as he helped UALR capture the school's first-ever Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship to secure a berth in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. It was the fourth NCAA Tournament appearance for Cunningham as a coach, as he was also a part of NCAA Tournament teams at Minnesota (1997 and 1999) and Murray State (1995).
Prior to joining the Trojans for the 2008-09 season, Cunningham most recently served as an assistant coach at South Florida during the 2006-07 season. Over the course of his career, Cunningham has made stops at Duquesne, UNLV, Minnesota, Arkansas State, Missouri State, Western Kentucky and Murray State.
During his time at Minnesota (1996-99), Cunnigham helped guide the Gophers to three consecutive postseason berths, including a Final Four appearance in 1997 and a National Invitation Tournament championship in 1998. He spent the 1998-99 season as an Assistant Athletic Director for Men's Basketball Operations and helped the Gophers return to the NCAA Tournament.
Cunningham has worked with a number of student-athletes who have advanced into the professional ranks, including NBA players Bobby Jackson, Joel Pryzbilla and John Thomas. He also recruited former NBA player Popeye Jones (Murray State), former Minnesota standouts Quincy Lewis, Sam Jacobson, Chris Robinson and Darnell Mee (Western Kentucky).
In addition to his vast coaching experience, Cunningham brings a familiarity with the Sun Belt Conference having spent a combined five seasons at Western Kentucky (1988-92) and Arkansas State (1995-96).
Cunningham began his coaching career in 1973 as a graduate assistant at the University of North Alabama (then Florence State), where he played two seasons after transferring from Snead Junior College. Cunningham, who is a member of UNA's Athletic Hall of Fame, earned a pair of letters at UNA and received all-conference accolades as a senior.
He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education and history from UNA in 1973, and completed his master's in education in 1975. After two seasons at UNA, Cunningham took an assistant coaching job at Bradshaw High School in Florence, Ala. He spent eight years as an assistant (1975-83) before taking over as head coach (1983-86).
Cunningham got his first Division I coaching job at Murray State (1986-88), helping the Racers to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 1988. Led by Popeye Jones, the 14th-seeded Racers upset No. 3 seed North Carolina State in the opening round.

Meet our team of mortgage brokers and financial planners at Mortgage Choice Chatswood and the North Shore!
You already know how we work with our clients on a professional level, but we know trust is important and that working with the right person is key. So, here we will share more with you about us personally, so you can get to know us a little better and get a glimpse into what we're all about.
Chantelle Rangel
When I was 16 working at my first real job, with all the freshness and lack of cynicism that comes with youth, I thought to myself "I want to help others, I want to make a difference". Now, 18 years later, with a different and much more real outlook on life, my initial statement resonates even more.
I'm passionate about meeting great people, learning about their lives and helping where I can.
I'm fortunate enough to now be an associate of Mortgage Choice in Chatswood, working with my first (and forever) mentor in life, my father.
A little about me: my daughter keeps me motivated, my husband keeps me laughing and my dog keeps me active. I'm a runner, a blogger, perennial traveler and an adventure seeker.
Robert Rangel
Owner and Mortgage Broker
I used to play bass in a band and sell out all the local clubs. I spent most of my time camping, fishing with the boys and playing sports. Now I play golf, travel (wherever my wife and daughter desire) and play guitar for my best and number one fans, my granddaughters.
Owning my own business has been one of my most rewarding career choices. Helping my clients achieve their life goals, be it their first car, family home, an investment property, re-modeling the house for a new addition etc is something I am very passionate about.
Hugh Smith
I'm a family guy, married with three children, 2 Beagles and a very fat cat. I live locally and have a genuine passion for dealing with people. Not only through my work, but through my kids sport, volunteer work with Mathew Talbot Hostel, and my own crazy enthusiasm for trail bike riding.
I have a Bachelor of Business Degree and prior to becoming a Mortgage Choice Broker had an extensive business background in senior management positions with several major multinational corporations.
Having been a property investor myself for several decades I have a deep appreciation for what it's like to be a client, and enjoy helping people through what can sometimes be a foreign but exciting process.

HERMA - History
The second generation
Heinrich Hermann died shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War. His oldest son Eberhard, who had been chosen to succeed him, died in combat in East Prussia. The two younger sons were taken prisoner of war. As a consequence, their mother, Christine Hermann, took charge of the company as she had done during the First World War. The company's buildings and machinery survived the war without significant damage. In late 1945 Werner Hermann (left) returned from captivity and became sole manager. His brother Heinrich Hermann Jr. (right) joined him starting in 1953. At the end of the war, just under 60 employees of the originally roughly 200 employees were still on hand. After the currency reform in 1948, demand started to grow again and the company's workforce grew to more than 200.
1951 and later
Inspired by the new supermarkets in the USA, the Heinrich Hermann Papierwarenfabrik (Heinrich Hermann Stationery Products Factory) developed a special process for coating adhesive paper and marketed self-adhesive labels under the arco brand. It was the first company in Germany to offer such a product. These small, self-sticking price labels set the stage for the triumphant rise of self-service stores. They were the second product, after Transparol, to give the development of the company a decisive boost. By 1953 it had 400 employees and almost 100 home workers – more than ever before.
An adhesive coating developed in the company's own laboratory made it possible to manufacture self-adhesive photo corners as well. The Transparol brand, already well known, soon became a huge success in Germany, the Benelux countries, Spain, Italy and Austria.
1956 and later
The company celebrated its 50th anniversary. And because its innovative adhesive labels were gaining an increasing market share, it used its engineering know-how to develop special label dispensers. The first devices, Model A and Model C, were designed only for manual operation. In 1960 the first electric labelling machine, the Model F, was presented. This was the "grandfather" of the modern HERMA labelling machines. What made it special was a built-in heating unit that permitted removal of the labels. The films and paper backings used at that time did not permit separation in any other way.
In Bonlanden HERMA held the topping-out ceremony for a new coating plant; its production facilities in Wangen were no longer suitable. In the decades to follow this location continued to expand.
A new trend appeared: computers. And labels to go with them.
HERMA purchased the REX company in St. Andreasberg/Harz. From that time on, the popular book covers with the distinctive red tape on the edges were a HERMA brand. To date, more than 200 million have been sold.
The "HERMA with star" trademark was introduced for products with an adhesive coating. Increasingly, customers used the word HERMA when referring to the Heinrich Hermann Papierwarenfabrik, which was still the company's official name. In mid-1969 HERMA officially became the name for the whole company.
The HERMA 200 labeller was introduced. Thanks to its modular design, customers were able to adapt it their individual needs.
Self-adhesive labels became a part of everyday life. They accounted for some 90 percent of HERMA's total sales. To meet the growing demand, two new label manufacturing plants were established in Deizisau and Filderstadt-Bonlanden.
Early 1970s
The company, which had been organised thus far according to strictly functional principles, was restructured along three product lines for better alignment with the markets: adhesives, labelling systems and stationery products. Such an organisational form had never been tried with a family-owned company of this size. Thanks to their different customer structures, the three divisions complemented one another well, which helped to overcome temporary difficulties in the market. As a result, HERMA continued to grow at a steady rate, even when the economy was weak. The share of exports also increased year by year.

Earth Day debate draws attention to shortage of climate scientists
Earth Day 1990 served admirably to focus debate on the terribly complex issues involving the environment in general and global warming in particular. The debates revealed a predictably wide spectrum of opinions on what actions should or should not be taken under conditions involving possibly large consequences, but large scientific uncertainty as well. The one point of agreement is that whatever else is or is not done, it is imperative that scientists work hard to reduce the large uncertainties that characterize current predictions of global climate change.
We need to know far more precisely how the environment will respond to the large increases in carbon dioxide and other trace gases that have already occurred and will continue for some time (even if extreme mitigating measures are taken right away) and to investigate ways of coping with and possibly reducing any climatic changes that might occur.
Why are the uncertainties in predictions of climate change so large? It might be pointed out that we lack computers of sufficient capacity and speed. Of course, more computing power is desirable, but by itself will only serve to further quantify our ignorance. Perhaps the problem will never be solved to our satisfaction, but the presumption of insolvability is more often rooted in lethargy than in sober analysis.
Ask any geophysicist what is holding up progress and he or she will invariably tell you: lack of new talent entering the disciplines of atmospheric, oceanic, and earth sciences. Ironically, it seems that the more we talk about global change, the fewer good students decide to tackle the intellectually challenging problems in the physics and chemistry of climate. Consequently, the demand for climate scientists in the major research universities and laboratories worldwide far exceeds the supply.
We direct this letter toward those MIT students who are interested in physics, chemistry and mathematics and who are not afraid to tackle very tough, complex problems. The solution of many of the problems would be important intellectual achievements, even if climate change had no practical consequences.
The opportunities for becoming involved here at MIT are large and increasing: Already a curriculum in environmental engineering is being established, based in the Department of Civil Engineering but involving many departments, and a new curriculum is forthcoming from the recently established Center for Global Change Science in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences. A few good men and women will make a big difference. Get involved.

SVR Decisions from April 2018
The IBU Advisory Board (SVR) decided in its last meeting in April 2018 on this topic.
Individualisation of sample EPDs for the European Chemicals Association
The SVR (Expert Council) is of the unanimous opinion that there are no reasons not to approve individualisation of EU EPDs by German companies. However, the SVR recommends that IBU promotes easy individualisation (= individual calculation) and improving the identification of EPDs based on sample EPDs. This will make it easier for users to determine which EPD they are looking at. If necessary, extending the existing category system should be considered; company EPDs are not currently differentiated on the basis of sample EPDs.
Decision no. 20180420-j:
Individualisation of EU sample EPDs by German companies is approved from a professional perspective.
IBU has published all SVR decisions.
SVR Decisions from January 2018
The IBU Advisory Board (SVR) decided in its last meeting in January 2018 on these topics.
Inclusion of EN 16810 in the existing PCR for floor coverings
The PCR standard for the resilient, textile and laminate floor covering industry (TC 134) was published in 2017 (EN 16810: Resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings – Environmental product declarations – Product category rules). IBU is to make a policy decision as to whether c-PCRs are to be adopted in the IBU PCR.
The following rules outlined in EN 16810 are to be adopted by the IBU system:
1.Useful life
The declaration of a useful life of 1 year does not contradict the IBU rules which is why it is adopted by the IBU PCR. In addition, the EPD must include the following note: "Depending on the application based on EN ISO 10874, the technical service life recommended by the manufacturer and the anticipated strain on the floor by customers, the case-specific useful life can be established. The effects of Module B2 need to be calculated on the basis of this useful life in order to obtain the overall environmental impacts."
2.Disclosure of biogenic carbon
Disclosure of biogenic carbon during the life cycle 1:
- Rules as in PCR Part A and
- Rules of the EN 16485:2014: Round and sawn timber – Environmental product declarations – Product category rules for wood and wood-based products for use in construction
- The resource aspect of wood is to be analysed via the properties inherent to the material as a resource extraction of CO2 from the atmosphere and the lower calorific value as consumption of renewable energy sources.
Disclosure of biogenic carbon during the life cycle 2:
- For secondary material (waste wood), the bound CO2is considered with the correspondingly negative GWP on the input side.
- In the case of waste wood, which is recycled or which leaves the product system to be analysed as a secondary fuel, the CO2 bound in the wood fibres to be recycled is considered with the correspondingly positive GWP on the output side.
- If biogenic CO2 is analysed in Modules A1-A3 as part of the GWP, the module must be declared in which the CO2 bound in the product or packaging is released or leaves the analysis framework by means of recycling or as a secondary fuel.
Disclosure of biogenic carbon during the life cycle 3:
- The volume of biogenic carbon contained in the biological material and/or packaging must be declared in the module in which the stored biogenic carbon is offset as part of the GWP.
- The calorific value (Hu) is analysed as the "Use of renewable secondary fuels" or as "Use of secondary materials".
The following rules are not adopted from the EN 16810:
EN 16810 permits the declaration of toxicity indicators in the EPD. To this aim, the ERFMI has submitted an application to IBU to integrate them in an IBU EPD. Against the backdrop of integrating ISO 21930 in the IBU programme rules, Dr Lehmann proposes postponing the decision on the submission by ERFMI and communicating this accordingly to ERFMI.
EN 16810 is also indicated as a reference in the EPDs for resilient, textile and laminate floor coverings.
Decision no. 20180124-e:
Inclusion of EN 16810 in the existing PCR for floor coverings for the following topics: Useful life and disclosure of biogenic carbon and reference to EN 16810 on the cover sheet of the EPD for floor coverings.
IBU has published all SVR decisions.
SVR Decisions from October 2017
The IBU Advisory Board (SVR) decided in its last meeting in October 2017 on these topics.
Decision no. 20171027-d: The PCR "Cable tray systems for cable ladder systems" is renamed and the scope extended to PCR Part B: Cable carrier and cable channels for cable ladder systems
PCR Part B: for coatings with organic binding agents (following the circulation procedure)
The following remarks by the SVR concern PCR, Part B:
– The scope in the existing PCR "Boards and panels made of plastic" should be changed for indoor applications.
– A new PCR is to be published under plastics for outdoor applications.
Decision no. 20171027-f:Once the above amendments have been integrated, the PCR can be published.
Decision no. 20171027-h:Outstanding items from the verifier meeting (resubmission from the 44th meeting) have been clarified.
Regulation governing association and sample EPDs (task no. 20170712-12: Dr Werner)
The topics of representativity and individualisation are discussed.
There are 2 stages of individualisation:
1. Only the cover sheet and poss. the enclosures are changed; the owner of the declaration remains unchanged. Possible, e.g. for marketing purposes. Association logo remains on the cover sheet – not to be digitalised, only a PDF is created.
2. If individualisation is to be more extensive, i.e. if the manufacturer wishes to be the owner of the declaration, a procedure as for sample EPDs is to be presented to the SVR.
On representativity:
– In the PCR, Part B, new text is inserted in sections 3.1 Declared unit and 3.6 Data quality as well as in Scope.
Decision no. 20171027-i: The proposal is accepted by the SVR; the requisite amendments are to be implemented in the IBU rules documents.
SVR Decisions from July 2017
The IBU Advisory Board (SVR) decided in its last meeting in July 2017 on these topics.
The scope for the following PCRs has been extended:
PCR Part B: Coatings with organic binders
- The coating products can take the form of dispersions, emulsions, solvents, powder mixtures or preformed, dried elements for coating surfaces.
PCR Part B: Bathtub and showers made of steel enamel or acrylic
- The document is valid for: Bathtubs, shower trays, washbasins and washstands made from composite materials such as steel enamel, acrylic and mineral cast
- Renamed to: Sanitary products made from composite materials
Further decisions of the SVR from the last meeting:
Decision no. 20170712-h: The new ADP indicator name is implemented in the PCR
Decision no. 20170712-i: The product definition is changed in the PCR.
Decision no. 20170712-k: Software tools must always declare the maximum scope in the first EPD (if the tool can calculate A1-C4+D incl. scenarios, the first EPD from the tool must also depict all of these cases).
Decision no. 20170712-l: Software tools necessitate all EPDs to be supplied as XML files (in ILCD+EPD format) to enable publication in IBU.Data. There is an exception for System II tools where it shall suffice if a reference product presented to the Expert Committee within the framework of tool approval is available as an XML file (the manufacturer makes proposals for the reference products).
Decision no. 20170712-n: Modules B3, B4 and B5 are only of relevance at building level and are referred to as MNR in the IBU system.
Decision no. 20170712-o: In Module B2, the expenses associated with maintenance, repair etc. are declared over the product's period of use in the IBU range. This decision shall apply until revoked by the ECO Platform.
