The Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing Internet marketplace that enables individuals or businesses (known as Requesters) to co-ordinate the use of human intelligence to perform tasks that computers are currently unable to do. It is one of the sites of Amazon Web Services. The Requesters are able to post tasks known as HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks), such as choosing the best among several photographs of a store-front, writing product descriptions, or identifying performers on music CDs. Workers (called Providers in Mechanical Turk's Terms of Service, or, more colloquially, Turkers) can then browse among existing tasks and complete them for a monetary payment set by the Requester. To place HITs, the requesting programs use an open Application Programming Interface, or the more limited MTurk Requester site.[2] Requesters are restricted to US-based entities.[3]
Requesters can ask that Workers fulfill Qualifications before engaging a task, and they can set up a test in order to verify the Qualification. They can also accept or reject the result sent by the Worker, which reflects on the Worker's reputation. Workers can have an address anywhere in the world. Payments for completing tasks can be redeemed on Amazon.com via gift certificate (gift certificates are the only payment option available to international workers, apart from India) or be later transferred to a Worker's U.S. bank account. Requesters, which are typically businesses, pay 10 percent of the price of successfully completed HITs to Amazon.[4]
The name Mechanical Turk comes from "The Turk", a chess-playing automaton of the 18th century, which was made by Wolfgang von Kempelen. It toured Europe, beating the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin. It was later revealed that this "machine" was not an automaton at all, but was in fact a chess master hidden in a special compartment controlling its operations. Likewise, the Mechanical Turk web service allows humans to help the machines of today perform tasks for which they are not suited.
The service was initially invented for Amazon's in-house use by Peter Cohen, to find duplicates among its web pages describing products.[4]
MTurk was launched publicly on November 2, 2005 and, as of January 2014[update], is still in beta. Following its launch, the Mechanical Turk user base grew quickly. At that time, there were a huge number of "Human Intelligence Tasks" (HITs) in the system. In early- to mid-November 2005, there were tens of thousands of HITs, all of them uploaded to the system by Amazon itself for some of its internal tasks that required human intelligence. Most of these were related to music CD items. Web traffic grew to a massive amount near the beginning of December.
However, the number of HITs in the system soon decreased, and by December 20, there were fewer than 100 groups of HITs on the average page load. In January, new types of HITs were set up, such as top three lists ranking for the (now defunct) Amazon Unspun site, and third-party HITs began to appear as well. By April 2006, there were only the occasional batch of 25 HIT groups being offered, and the service had slowed to a crawl.
As of January 2007, there were new HITs being offered of podcast transcribing, rating and image tagging. The transcription HITs, mostly offered by CastingWords,[5] are still posted regularly as of May 2013[update]. Other common HIT types ask Turkers to write or rewrite sentences, paragraphs, or whole articles. These have rewards ranging from one cent to about $10. HITs that reward people for linking to or commenting on a blog, or friending a person on Facebook are also often encountered, as are surveys.
In March 2007, there were reportedly more than 100,000 workers in over 100 countries.[4] This increased to over 500,000 workers from over 190 countries in January 2011.[6] In the same year, techlist published an interactive map pinpointing the locations of 50,000 of their MTurk workers around the world.[7]
According to a survey conducted in 2008 through one MTurk HIT, Turkers are primarily located in the United States[8] with demographics generally similar to the overall Internet population in the US.[9]
The same author carried out a second survey in 2010 (after the introduction of cash payments for indian workers), giving new and updated results on the demographics of workers.[10]
After visiting the home page of Mechanical Turk website, users have the option of either becoming a worker or a requester. The worker and requester interfaces are different, to accommodate the needs and purposes of each respective role. Workers have access to a dashboard which displays three different tabs- Total Earnings, Your HIT Status, and HIT Totals. The Total Earnings tab displays the earnings that a worker has received from completing Human Intelligence Tasks, the earnings made from bonuses, which can be received from any Human Intelligence Task, and the total of these two. The Your HIT Status tab displays a list of daily activity and daily earnings, along with the number of HITs that were submitted, approved, rejected, or pending that day. The HIT Totals tab displays information about either accepted or submitted HITs, which include the percentages of HITs that were submitted, returned, or abandoned and the percentage of HITs that were approved, rejected, or pending from those that were submitted.
Workers complete HITs by looking through the large database of HITs that are available through Mechanical Turk. Some HITs, however, require qualifications, which workers earn through either taking a qualification test or by acquiring certain benchmarks such as completing a certain number of HITs or having an approval rate above a certain percentage. Mechanical Turk Masters are Workers who have demonstrated consistent accuracy on specific types of HITs across a wide variety of Requesters. As of September 2012, there were two types of Masters: Data Categorization Masters and Photo Moderation Masters. Masters are granted access to higher levels of work and access to a private forum.[11]
Payments in Mechanical Turk are all done cooperatively with Amazon Payments. A requester has a different interface which is designed to assist the user in creating tasks for other users to complete. A requester is presented with many different templates from which to choose in the design of a HIT which include a writing, survey, translation, categorization, and other templates. A requester has a wide range of flexibility in the design of a HIT as it is completely up to the requester how to design, publish, and manage their HITs. After publishing a HIT, the HIT is put on the HIT database for Mechanical Turk workers to complete.
In 2007, the service began to be used to search for prominent missing individuals. It was first suggested during the search for James Kim, but his body was found before any technical progress was made. That summer, computer scientist Jim Gray disappeared on his yacht and Amazon's Werner Vogels, a personal friend, made arrangements for DigitalGlobe, which provides satellite data for Google Maps and Google Earth, to put recent photography of the Farallon Islands on the Mechanical Turk. A front-page story on Digg attracted 12,000 searchers who worked with imaging professionals on the same data. The search was unsuccessful.[12]
In September 2007, a similar arrangement was repeated in the search for aviator Steve Fossett. Satellite data was divided into 85 squared meter sections, and Mechanical Turk users were asked to flag images with "foreign objects" that might be a crash site or other evidence that should be examined more closely.[13] This search was also unsuccessful, partly due to the limited search area. The satellite imagery was mostly within a 50 mile radius.[14] The crash site was eventually found by hikers about a year later 65 miles away.[15]
Beginning in 2010, numerous researchers have explored the viability of Mechanical Turk to recruit subjects of social-science experiments. In general, researchers found that while the sample of respondents obtained through Mechanical Turk does not perfectly match characteristics of the U.S. population, it doesn't present a wildly inaccurate view either. They determined that the service works best for random population sampling; it is less successful with studies that require more precisely defined populations.[16][17][18][19] Overall, the US MTurk population is mostly female and white, and is somewhat younger and more educated than the US population overall.
The cost of MTurk was considerably lower than other means of conducting surveys, with workers willing to complete tasks for less than half the US minimum wage.[20]
There are some meta-software platforms built on top of Mechanical Turk for use in behavioral experiments including psiTurk.
In addition to growing interest from the social sciences MTurk has also been used as both a tool for artistic and educational exploration. Artist Aaron Koblin has made use of MTurk's crowd-sourcing power to create a number of collaborative artistic works such as The Sheep Market and Ten Thousand Cents which combined thousands of individual drawings of a US$100 bill.[21] The work functions as a sort of reverse exquisite corpse drawing.
Inspired by Koblin's collaborative artworks a Concordia University graduate research student turned to MTurk to see if the crowd-sourcing technology could also be used for educational research. Scott McMaster conducted two pilot projects which used HITs to request drawings but unlike Koblin's work the Turkers (or participants) knew exactly what the drawings were being used for. The HITs required participants to visually represent sets of words in drawings and fill out a short demographic survey. Although the research would be considered in its infancy McMaster made several interesting findings which suggest a globalizing effect is taking place within visual cultural representations. It is also perhaps one of the first published instances of this type of online research into visual culture.[22]
Programmers have developed various browser extensions and scripts designed to simplify the process of completing HITs. According to the Amazon Web Services Blog, however, Amazon appears to disapprove of the ones that automate the process 100% and take out the human element.[23] Accounts using so-called automated bots have been banned.
Amazon makes available an API to give users another access point to the MTurk system. The MTurk API lets a programmer submit HITs to MTurk, retrieve completed work, and approve or reject that work.[24] Web sites and web services can use the API to integrate MTurk work into other web applications, providing users with alternatives to the interface Amazon has built for these functions.
Amazon coined the term Artificial artificial intelligence for processes outsourcing some parts of a computer program to humans, for those tasks carried out much faster by humans than computers. Jeff Bezos was responsible for the concept that led to Amazon's Mechanical Turk being developed to realize this process.[25]
MTurk is comparable in some respects to the now discontinued Google Answers service. However, the Mechanical Turk is a more general marketplace that can potentially help distribute any kind of work tasks all over the world. The Collaborative Human Interpreter (CHI) by Philipp Lenssen also suggested using distributed human intelligence to help computer programs perform tasks that computers cannot do well. MTurk could be used as the execution engine for the CHI.
Because HITs are typically simple, repetitive tasks and users are paid often only a few cents to complete them, some have criticized Mechanical Turk as a "digital sweatshop".[26] At the same time, workers set their own hours and are not under any obligation to accept any work they do not wish to do. Because workers are paid as contractors rather than employees, requesters do not have to file forms for, nor pay payroll taxes, and they avoid laws regarding minimum wage, overtime, and workers compensation. Workers, though, must report their income as self-employment income. In addition, some requesters have taken advantage of workers by having them do the tasks, then rejecting their submissions in order to avoid paying.[27] However, at least some workers on Mechanical Turk are people who do the work for fun.[28] The average wage for the multiple microtasks assigned, if they are done quickly, is about one dollar an hour, with each task averaging a few cents.[29]
Amazon.com does not monitor the service and refers all complaints to the poster of the HIT.

Five Chiefs
A Supreme Court Memoir
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreWhen he resigned last June, Justice Stevens was the third longest serving Justice in American history (1975-2010)--only Justice William O. Douglas, whom Stevens succeeded, and Stephen Field have served on the Court for a longer time.
In Five Chiefs, Justice Stevens captures the inner workings of the Supreme Court via his personal experiences with the five Chief Justices--Fred Vinson, Earl Warren, Warren Burger, William Rehnquist, and John Roberts--that he interacted with. He reminisces of being a law clerk during Vinson's tenure; a practicing lawyer for Warren; a circuit judge and junior justice for Burger; a contemporary colleague of Rehnquist; and a colleague of current Chief Justice John Roberts. Along the way, he will discuss his views of some the most significant cases that have been decided by the Court from Vinson, who became Chief Justice in 1946 when Truman was President, to Roberts, who became Chief Justice in 2005.
Packed with interesting anecdotes and stories about the Court, Five Chiefs is an unprecedented and historically significant look at the highest court in the United States. less

VALPARAISO │ Kankakee Valley Rural Electric Membership Corp. CEO Dennis Weiss said electric cooperatives are entering a new era as more people migrate from rural areas back to the cities.
Speaking at Kankakee Valley REMC's 73nd annual meeting of the membership Tuesday at Porter County Expo Center, Weiss said reports show a 1.6 percent decline in the last 10 years in the population of Pulaski County and almost 1 percent in Starke County.
"There's no work for our children and grandchildren, and we're seeing many rural communities even struggle for existence," he said. "It's difficult for Kankakee Valley REMC to be a world-class energy provider if the communities we serve are not healthy and prosperous."
Weiss said the REMC is determining what its role will be in helping its communities once again become healthy and prosperous and how the cooperative can assist in job creation, attracting new businesses and developing infrastructure enhancements to attract companies to move into its communities.
"This will be the next challenge for rural electrics across the nation and a challenge REMC is working on today," he said.
Weiss said the REMC is financially strong despite weather-related challenges in 2012 including severe storms that struck its system multiple times in the spring along with extreme heat and drought conditions.
"These conditions tested our lines and infrastructure," he said. "(The system) held up and is in great shape."
Weiss also told REMC's membership that more regulations will make it difficult to operate the cooperative.
"But these things we deal with now, and we'll just continue to do so," he said.
President Otto Werner said the REMC is working with other cooperatives to form an initiative to start a conversation with legislators to discuss regulations on the industry.
"One voice isn't enough (to) make positive influence on our elected officials," he said.
Werner said the cooperatives would like to see legislators "accomplish their goals while still making energy affordable land reliable."
Weiss also discussed his 2012 participation in "Hoosiers Power the World" – a volunteer team of linemen, staff members and executives from 17 Indiana electric cooperatives donated their time to bring electricity to three remote villages in Guatemala.
"It was one of the greatest experiences of my life," Weiss said. "It was a privilege to see these lights come on for the first time. It must have felt just like it did in 1939 when the lights came on for the first time in our rural area."

Afterschool's UEE Gets Barefoot, Goes Diving for Barefoot Friendson Wed, Jun 26, 2013
On June 26, a production member of SBS's Good Sunday - Barefoot Friends revealed photos of UEE training for a diving project. In the photos, we see UEE in a fluorescent swimsuit, looking incredibly relaxed and ready to dive. Along with the other members of Barefoot Friends, UEE is currently training for the upcoming "1st Annual Gimcheon Masters" diving competition opening on July 11 at Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium. The singer trained by entering the water a dozen times without showing any signs of weariness -- like a true athlete! The diving training instructor for Barefoot Friends, coach Hong Myung Hee, stated, "Although diving and swimming have a lot of technical differences, apart from the other members, we expect UEE to show good results in the competition, as a former swimmer."

Rated 3 out of 5 by Funtimefamily Not as nice as it should be The pool has weird stuff floating on it. Gross. Also it was so full of chemicals my skin started burning. Disappointing on a hot day. Room was hot even with ac running full on. Pillows too flat when you lay on them. Flushing toilet was awkward - you have to lean over and reach down to push lever behind the lid cover. Light switch to inside bathroom was same as outside sink area so you can't go to the restroom at night without turning light on and disturbing the other people in the room. Room had curtains on only one window. There are 3 windows and the other 2 windows had the rod and curtain rings but no curtain. Wooden shutters were lovely though and did a good job of keeping out the light. TV - finding regular TV then channel surfing is not as easy as it should be. Why can't there be a channel guide we can switch to using the remote instead of channel surfing until you find something Ok to watch? The club lounge was fine. The attendant was very quick to clean, serve, whatever you needed. Food was Ok and at least there was plenty of it. The TV screen in there was fuzzy though. Overall not a bad experience but not something I would look forward to again. Especially for the price. July 14, 2013

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn has declared a propane supply emergency in Illinois.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports Quinn made the declaration Monday. Wet fall weather and recent cold spells have combined to put a pinch on Illinois' propane supplies, causing distribution problems across the state.
The declaration means regulations will be eased on propane truck drivers so they can drive to other states and fill their tanks. Illinois also has lifted limits on how long truck drivers can work within 24 hours. This will let them travel farther to pick up propane.
If cold temperatures continue, people who use propane to heat their homes could experience some negative effects. The Energy Department says 5.5 million U.S. households heat with propane, mostly in the Midwest and South.

While the bulk of the glitterati was either at the Beards or at the Met gala last night, Mickey Rourke held court at Beast, outlasting Nas, Q-Tip, Eric Goode, Ed Norton, and a couple dozen others grooving to soul tunes at a low-key party thrown by model Manon Von Gerkan. Around 3:30 a.m., we invited him to do a New York Diet during the two weeks hes in town doing reshoots for 13, and he told us, Thats easy I only eat at four places: Nellos, Cipriani, this Italian place in the West Village called Gaetanas, and Waverly. Dont expect to see him pounding beers with the firemen at Gaetanas anytime soon, though before filming Iron Man 2, Rourke has to lose the 30 pounds he gained for The Wrestler, and his trainer (an ex-Israeli secret-service agent) is only letting him out once a week.

Praise you, Jeremy Scott… praise you. After fall's McDonald's inspired designs, Jeremy Scott's vision for Moschino continued to be one with pop culture, kitschy inspiration.
FASHION: Jeremy Scott Fall/Winter 2014
Jeremy Scott showed his Fall/Winter 2014 collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York. Scott got sporty for fall with cool riffs on athletics for men and women. From fuzzy jersey-style sweaters to rugby-striped knit dresses.
FASHION: adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott Spring 2014 Loookbook
Jeremy Scott, known for his winged kicks and A$AP Rocky's affinity for his clothes, returns with this year's spring/summer lookbook for adidas Originals.
His flair for eye-popping colors and designs is still out there, apparent in floral patterns, cheetah prints, and varied textures.
FASHION: Jeremy Scott x Moschino Pre-Fall 2014
After his questionable creative mishap, Jeremy Scott is reminding the world just exactly why he's as respected and notable as he is in the fashion industry.
His first collection since taking over Moschino is so far so good!
NYFW: Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2014
We weren't quite ready for an acid trip, but we expected one. Jeremy Scott's Teenagers from Mars collection was a blast of candy colors, space-age graphics, pop oldies, '60s mod, and '70s gaud. It harkened to the kitsch of the past but took us to the future. Full show after the jump:
FASHION: adidas Orginals x Jeremy Scott Wings 2.0 - "Money"
Designer Jeremy Scott, known for pushing the envelope with his flamboyant sneaker designs, is back with a new pair of adidas JS Wings 2.0 "Money" that will undoubtedly draw a lot of attention.

Exxon Mobil Corp. increased the proportion of its reserves made up of oil to the highest in a decade as shale-drilling expertise acquired in the $35 billion XTO Energy deal was mobilized to find crude.
Paul Sankey, whose oil-industry forecasts earned him the top ranking the past three years in Institutional Investor's survey, joined Wolfe Research LLC after quitting his senior oil-analyst job at Deutsche Bank AG.
Occidental Petroleum Corp.'s proposal to split its U.S. and foreign businesses is pressuring more oil companies to follow suit, as the allure of breakups to create more than $100 billion of market value entices investors.
The largest U.S. and European oil companies are pursuing a strategy that no longer appeals to shareholders, according to Paul Sankey , an analyst at Deutsche Bank AG.
U.S. oil refiners may be able to profit from relatively cheap crude for much longer than many investors anticipate, according to Paul Sankey, an analyst at Deutsche Bank AG.
Occidental Petroleum Corp.'s plan to separate its $16 billion oil and natural gas business in California as part of a restructuring effort may have hit a snag: some shareholders aren't that interested.
Activist investors from Carl Icahn to Daniel Loeb are amassing stakes in energy companies to replace directors and spin off assets dragging down valuations amid record oil prices.
Refiners including Tesoro Corp. and Valero Energy Corp. fell on speculation by Deutsche Bank that a win by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney may threaten restrictions on U.S. crude exports.
Hess Corp.'s shareholder revolt is taking aim at long-time directors with close ties to the company's founding family, including two executors of the estate of Leon Hess, who led the oil producer for six decades.
Occidental Petroleum Corp., the largest oil producer in the continental U.S., has begun looking for suitors to take a minority stake in its Middle East unit for as much as $8 billion, said people with knowledge of the matter.
"No one had any idea that this could occur."

Dithering in PixelArtDITHERINGDithering in PixelArt by ShoneGold
Often the word dither or dithering is mentioned in relation to PixelArt. So what is dithering?
Dithering is the hand laying of individual pixels in either an organized pattern or random scattering, in order to create a texture and the appearance of a much higher color count than may actually be present in the piece of PixelArt.
Here is an example of some Dithering Styles. I have used works from ensellitis, thUg-inc and myself ShoneGold to help illustrate some of the styles used by the Pixel Artists.
In order to do our bit to support AIDSWalk 2007 http://shonegold.deviantart.com/journal/14724483/ how about everyone has a practice at dithering a red ribbon now that you are all familiar with how it looks and a few of the styles you can use?
Here is a basic template you can download and use, or you may wish to make your own ribbon. Lets see how good you all are at dithering. If you s

The other side of the "young and vibrant" coin is their inexperience. For an enterprise IT environment, it's still a pretty small organization and yet they want to be grown ups so bad, they tend to adopt unnecessary bureaucratic procedure just because that's what the big banks do.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Slow down growing the org chart, and focus on the people you already have. Say "no" to the lines of business when they want more work done than you have the people or experience to accomplish.RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

It was reported over the weekend that the Denver Broncos would be among the teams working out former Ole Miss wide receiver Donte Moncrief, and his name is getting hotter by the second.
Moncrief has vaulted into first round status after his one glaring issue was cleared up with a 40 yard dash time of 4.40 seconds at 6'2″ 221 pounds. CBSSports.com and NFL Draft Scout have bumped him up from a late third round prospect all the way up to a late first-early second round prospect and the 39th overall ranked player in the class.
With the Broncos picking 31st, taking Moncrief in the 1st round wouldn't even be a reach at this point, at least according to the rankings that I trust the most come draft time (other than my own, of course).
The mock draft made by Rob Rang, who is also in charge of ranking these players to a degree, has Moncrief going 28th overall to the Carolina Panthers in the first round of his latest projection.
Rang's colleague is Dane Brugler, another really well-respected and highly thought of man in the draft industry, has Moncrief going with the #3 overall pick in the 2nd round to the Cleveland Browns.
Obviously, this early entrant has done enough in workouts to convince scouts that he has #1 receiver potential, or at worst he can be a very good #2.
The scouting report on NFL.com says that Moncrief is likely to elevate his stock at the combine and in workouts, and he has certainly done that.
With Eric Decker off to the Jets, the Broncos need to groom a #2 receiver so Emmanuel Sanders can take over slot duties if Wes Welker departs after the 2014 season. For a seamless transition, it would seem ideal for said receiver to have at least a year to learn the system since receivers take a longer period of time to adjust, and Moncrief has obviously caught the Broncos' eye as a potential candidate for that spot.
Denver is certainly not going to shy away from adding a wide receiver in the first round if the opportunity presents itself, and it seems like Moncrief is a more intriguing option the closer we get to this year's draft.

for conflict of interest at the IU School of Medicine
The Indiana University School of Medicine recognizes that there are significant opportunities to improve health through working relationships between its faculty and commercial enterprises. It is clear that these relationships need to be well defined by our institution and that appropriate policies must exist that both guide and govern collaborations between faculty and private industry.
An extensive review of the IUSM Conflict of Interest policies is currently underway. An updated policy was created in the summer of 2014, and an Open Comment period provided the Committee with feedback to improve the document. The committee is currently working on integrating the feedback into a final policy. This new policy will then be subject to approval by the appropriate IUSM committees before implementation. Until that time, however, the current Industry Relations Policy remains in place.
Download the IUSM Industry Relations Conflict of Interest policy (PDF)
To help gain a better understanding of the scope of the policy, we have included a page of frequently asked questions (FAQs) for our patients as well as the media.
Download the IUSM Industry Relations Conflict of Interest FAQ (PDF)
For more information about the IUSM Conflict of Interest policy, please contact Alexander Djuricich, MD, Chair of the IUSM Conflict of Interest Committee, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nagoya Museums: Tokugawa Art Museum
Tokugawa Art Museum 徳川美術館
The Tokugawa Art Museum is probably Nagoya's best attraction and should be seen on any visit to the city in conjunction with Nagoya Castle to get an idea of the area's huge importance in Japanese history.
Tokugawa Art Museum houses the old ruling Owari Tokugawa family's priceless legacy of art and heirlooms, which include byobu screens and paintings by the Kano School and Maruyama Okyu, ceramics, firearms, kimono, maki-e (gold lacquer work), samurai armor, swords and helmets, Buddhist sutras, a Noh stage and theater costumes and the original twelfth-century painted scroll of The Tale of Genji by Takayoshi Fujiwara. The original is kept locked away most of the time but is represented by video and panel displays.
The nine exhibition rooms of the Tokugawa Art Museum are dedicated to the symbols of the samurai warrior (swords, armor and helmets), the tea ceremony, a formal chamber of a feudal lord (daimyo), a recreated Noh theater, personal items and furnishings of the lord, the Illustrated Tale of Genji and three rooms showing special exhibitions.
Interestingly the collection shows the Tokugawa family's love of foreign exotica which included ceramics, furniture and art works from China, Korea and the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa).
In addition to the main museum, there is a connecting walkway to the Hosa Library containing literary works handed down through the Tokugawa family.
The Tokugawa Art Museum, which dates from 1935, is set in the beautiful Tokugawaen (Tokugawa Garden), which can be visited separately or with a combined ticket. Much of the original residence was destroyed in World War II and only the main gate (Omote mon) and parts of the outer walls survive. The museum is approached through a landscaped open courtyard.
Additional facilities at the Tokugawa Art Museum include a tea lounge and museum shop.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn February 19, 2012, about 1330 central standard time, an amateur-built Crain BD-4 airplane, N215BD, impacted the ground following a loss of control near Clarinda, Iowa. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant, was fatally injured. The airplane was destroyed during the impact. The aircraft was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which was not operated on a flight plan. The local flight originated from the Schenck Field Airport (ICL), Clarinda, Iowa, about 1249.Data retrieved from a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that was on-board the airplane indicated that the airplane departed from ICL about 1249. The data showed that, after takeoff from runway 20, the airplane made a climbing left turn and headed north toward the town of Villisca, Iowa. The airplane leveled off after reaching about 3,000 feet altitude above mean sea level (msl). Prior to reaching Viscilla, the airplane turned northeast and flew toward Corning, Iowa, and after passing Corning, the airplane turned to the right and headed southwest back toward ICL. As the airplane approached ICL, it began a descent and passed over the airport heading in a west-southwest direction. The airplane's recorded altitude and speed when it passed over the airport were about 2,600 feet msl, and 140 knots (161 mph) respectively. The data showed that the airplane then began a left turn back toward the approach end of runway 2 at ICL. The last recorded data point, at 1330:15, placed the airplane about 1.2 miles and 237 degrees from the approach end of the runway. Based on the last two recorded positions, the airplane was descending at a rate of 60 foot per minute at 115 knots (132 mph) on a heading of 351 degrees. The last recorded GPS position was almost directly above the accident site. The 41-minute flight covered approximately 60 nautical miles.Witnesses reported seeing the airplane in a steep descent prior to striking the ground, but they did not report seeing the airplane prior to the steep descent.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe 53-year old pilot held a private pilot certificate with a single-engine land airplane rating. He was issued a third-class airman medical certificate, with a restriction for corrective lenses, on February 17, 2011.According to the pilot's flight logbook, the pilot accumulated 93 hours total flight time. The last page of entries indicated that the pilot had logged approximately 10 hours flight time in the accident airplane since September 2011. The most recent entry in the logbook was dated January 8, 2012.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe accident airplane was an amateur-built BD-4, serial number 215. It was a four-place, strut braced high wing airplane, with a tricycle landing gear configuration. The airplane was built by the owner/pilot and received a Special Airworthiness Certificate on August 9, 2005. The airplane was powered by a 180-horsepower Lycoming model IO-360-A1A four-cylinder, reciprocating engine. According to information from the airplane designer's website, the BD-4B, an updated version of the accident airplane, had a stall speed of 61 mph with flaps retracted and 55 mph with the flaps extended. According to maintenance records, the airplane had accumulated 48.58 hours total time in service as of the last condition inspection dated December 15, 2011. METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONSWeather conditions recorded at ICL, at 1024, were: wind from 180 degrees at 6 knots, visibility 10 miles, clear skies, temperature 7 degrees Celsius, dew point -5 degrees Celsius, and altimeter 30.08 inches of mercury.WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONThe airplane impacted a harvested farm field about 1.2 miles southwest of ICL. The nose wheel and propeller were buried into the ground. The fuselage from the firewall to the aft fuselage was fragmented. The tail surfaces remained attached to the aft fuselage with their hinges intact. Both wings separated from the fuselage and exhibited crushing consistent with a near vertical impact. The wreckage was removed from the accident site and examined at a later date. Postaccident examination of the engine confirmed valve train continuity, valve action, and engine rotation. The magnetos were examined and one was able to produce spark on all leads when rotated. The other magneto would not produce spark when rotated. This magneto exhibited impact damage to the external case and was disassembled. It was found that the internal ignition point assembly had fractured and was not allowing the points to open and close properly. The remaining components of the magneto appeared undamaged and functional.Examination of the airframe confirmed the presence of all flight control surfaces. The ailerons and flaps had separated from their respective wing panels. The fuselage cabin section was fragmented and the instrument panel was crushed and deformed. Examination of the control system was unable to confirm control system continuity due to the extensive damage; however, the examined components exhibited no failures that were determined to have existed prior to impact.MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONAn autopsy of the pilot was performed by the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner, Ankeny, Iowa, on February 20, 2012. The pilot's death was attributed to injuries received in the accident.Toxicology testing was performed by the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute. Testing results were negative for all substances in the screening profile.

Strike is never useful. It results in loss of crores of money for the National Exchequer. The biggest losses come in the Industrial sector resulting in loss of production in crores, transport sector and other revenue sectors face huge losses, the closure of entire banking sector results in a setback in transactions in crores of rupees. The loss and damage to the economy is so colossal that you wonder - why, what for. The various govts all over the world have enacted various Acts and Laws for the welfare of the workers. There are time bound revisions of pay for govt employees and they are still better off than the employees in the unorganized sector. Yes there may be some issues which need to be sorted out by negotiations, but striking work and that too for two days is totally unjustified for demands one of which is as arbitrary and vague as high inflation.
