are in the midst of another busy hot summer. The Cool House tour wrapped up June 6 and The Renewable Energy Roundup is coming to Fredericksburg in late
September. Both of these events act as fundraisers for TXSES as well as
opportunities to get the word out on renewables.
Austin Cool House Tour, TXSES's primary fundraiser, was a great success.
Highlighting 12 outstanding examples of energy efficient design and building
technology, this year's tour also featured seven homes with solar PV, three
homes with solar thermal, a home with residential wind, two with smart grid
panels, a net zero energy home (with an electric car!), a net zero capable
community and for the first time, several examples of large rainwater
collection in an urban setting. This was the 14th year TXSES has partnered with
Austin Energy Green Building for this popular tour that draws visitors from
around the state. Thanks you to all the hard working folks, particularly
Natalie and Lucy, for making the tour such a grand event.

People who are no longer in a position to pay their creditors are considered bankrupt. Bankruptcy laws in the U.S. help these people to liquidate their assets and repay their debts in an orderly manner.
Cases involving bankruptcy laws under Title 11 are heard, not in state courts, but in special courts called bankruptcy courts, every state having at least one such court. While the U.S. bankruptcy laws are federal in nature, each state can specify which property is exempt under the law. The person filing for bankruptcy can select either the federal or state exemptions.
Chapters 7, 11 and 13 are the most important under bankruptcy laws. Chapters 7 and 11 are mostly for personal bankruptcy. Although businesses can also file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7, they get the opportunity to reorganize and use business revenue to settle debts only under Chapter 11.
Under chapter 11, a bankruptcy case has to be filed in the state where the debtor resides. The filing may be a voluntary one filed by the debtor himself or an involuntary one filed by the creditors. Generally, the debtor has to submit the court a statement of his assets and liabilities, income and expenditure and other financial details.
Chapter 13 allows the bankrupt to retain all their property. However, they are required to repay either the entire debt or a portion of the debt within a period of 3 to 5 years.
Although bankruptcy laws allow people to file for bankruptcy without the help of a lawyer, it is advisable to hire a lawyer. This is because the forms are quite complicated and failure to fill any may lead to severe problems.
With the easy availability of credit, an increasing number of people are suffering huge losses, both personal and business, and filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy laws help the debtor to stay in business and at the same time free him from debt even if he cannot pay in full, by allowing him to draw out a plan to proportionately pay his creditors.

White Elephants
FRANK J. OTERI: When I think of your music, I think of big things. You write big pieces.
DAVID DEL TREDICI: That's me.
FRANK J. OTERI: You've written for all different sizes of ensembles and you've written all different sizes of pieces. It's unfair to generalize, but for some reason when I think of you, I think of big pieces for big orchestra and it's clear in these pieces that you love the orchestra.
DAVID DEL TREDICI: It's true. When you want a white elephant of one hour or more, I'm the man to come to.
FRANK J. OTERI: What is it about the orchestra that attracts you again and again to it to say new things?
DAVID DEL TREDICI: It's hard to say. I'm not an orchestral musician. I'd guess you'd say the color. Since I am very interested in pieces that are long—that go over a lot of time—I'm therefore interested in the biggest ensembles to project an hour. I can't imagine an hour on the piano as well as I can an hour in the orchestra.
FRANK J. OTERI: That's interesting because you're a pianist.
DAVID DEL TREDICI: I'm a pianist and I've never, ever used a piano in my orchestra. I don't know why. I came to the orchestra gradually as a pianist—of course I first wrote for the piano—then I added voice, then I added a string quartet, then 6 players, then 8 players, and then my first orchestral commission came along. Most of my orchestral pieces have been tied to voices. I guess what are best known are all my settings from Alice in Wonderland, particularly Final Alice and then In Memory of a Summer Day…
FRANK J. OTERI: Which won the Pulitzer Prize.
DAVID DEL TREDICI: …which won the Pulitzer Prize, both of which are an hour long.
FRANK J. OTERI: Then of course In Memory of a Summer Day is part of an even larger work Child Alice which has never been recorded in its entirety.
DAVID DEL TREDICI: No, it has only been played once. Child Alice is two hours. It's a whole evening. It was done once by the American Symphony with John Mauceri at Carnegie Hall a while ago. So rather than being interested in the orchestra, I'm interested in controlling musical time in a non-minimal way, in a maximal way.
FRANK J. OTERI: This is interesting in that you feel like you couldn't conceive of an hour-long piece for the piano. Certainly there have been 2-hour or even 5-hour long pieces for solo piano, but usually those works, like La Monte Young's The Well-Tuned Piano, are minimalist pieces.
DAVID DEL TREDICI: Yeah, I don't count minimal—that's its own world. You can say play this chord 5,000 times then you've got an hour. I'm more interested in the way of controlling time where you're not actually meant to be lulled into a trance. I try to hold the interest in the way that one might in, let's say, a Mahler symphony. Perhaps as a composer I ask the audience to have an expanded sense of time. To hear Mahler you have to be generous with time. I just like the challenge that after 45 minutes of an hour-long piece—I can write something and I'll like it at the moment, but when it comes in the course of the hour it doesn't fit. The idea of writing all the details of music and having a sense of the long line is a challenge. I'm interested in the long line, the long musical line.
FRANK J. OTERI: In a way your pieces and obviously Mahler's pieces, which you just cited, along with Bruckner—these are the musical equivalent of the big novels of the 19th century by Trollope, Thackeray, or Dickens: that narrative, the big story…
DAVID DEL TREDICI: Yes I love that—controlling time. I want to stop time. My image when I would write the big Alice pieces was like reading a big mystery story. From the first few pages something about it holds you and you can't stop until you get to the end. That page-turner quality is something I wanted to do with music. Not really with stories, but with musical continuity. It comes very much out of my childhood. I began playing the piano very late, when I was 12. By the time I was 17, I was giving recitals and playing with orchestras. What I liked playing most were long, romantic pieces at least a half an hour long, which you have to hold together. I happened to have a piano teacher from Germany, Bernhard Abramowitsch, who was very much in the Arthur Schnabel tradition of really making these long pieces hold together. So when I would play something he had a very good sense of where it was lagging. He didn't care about my technique or about the details, but he did care about the projection of the long line, which is very unusual. I had that as a physical reality when I played the piano. I could feel when I had the audience in the grip of my hand, or I was holding it. So when I came to composition, somehow that ideal of holding an audience for a long period of time continued and carried over.

Top Entrepreneur Ideas in India
If you want to be successful in your business in India, you need to have powerful entrepreneur ideas. These ideas would help to take your company or organization to the top level. In this article, I would detail about the why one needs to have good entrepreneurship idea and what are the top ideas to become successful entrepreneur in India.
Do entrepreneur ideas essential?
These are basic needs in the success of the business. You may take new tasks, you may need to explore new opportunities or new challenges may arise. Unless you have entrepreneur skills, it would be difficult for you to manage and take your organization to top level.
Top Entrepreneur Ideas in India
1) Qualification is not required: Many of us believe that entrepreneurs are born in ISB or Harward universities. These perceptions are wrong. If you have an interest and need, you can become a successful entrepreneur. Don't ever think that qualification is hurdle for you to become an entrepreneur. Anand of A.K. Enterprises do not have any major educational qualification and started his business with Rs 26,000 to do Office automation products and made Rs 50 Lakh turnover last year.
2) Entrepreneurs have innovative and creative ideas: The most essential ingredient which I feel is that an entrepreneur should have innovative and creative ideas on running your company. You should keep asking yourself on how a particular activity can be done differently where you would generate excellent results.
3) Entrepreneur wants to be his/her own boss: If you think that you want to be your own boss, you are having the skill to become an entrepreneur. Such skills drive an individual to take up any business.
4) Provide employment: One more entrepreneur ideas are to provide employment to people. While this could be one of the factors, this may not be essential. Many people generally ignore this.
5) Entrepreneurs choose the business what they want to run: Several entrepreneurs choose the business what they want to do before taking up. While some choose IT, Finance, Insurance, Social Services, Transport and Food sectors which are more profitable, however there are several entrepreneur ship who prefer for agriculture, crop production, fishermen and forestry which are less profitable, but which are indispensable and they never ever fall. Choosing an occupation in which you are interested would have significant impact on your success.
6) Entrepreneurs recognize talent: Do you recognize talent around you. Do you appreciate your mother's efforts when she makes a good cup of tea? Do you appreciate your brother / sister if they dance well? Identification of key talent is important for you as an entrepreneur. E.g. Narayana Murthy (former CEO of Infosys Ltd, a top IT company in India) recognized the key talent and indicated best people in key positions. This makes the company successful while he still advices as mentor.
7) Entrepreneurs don't wait to make their first step: While you may have all these skills and you want to become entrepreneur, but if you still not made any first step, you are lacking something. Many entrepreneurs would make their first step atleast by testing business idea and would have reached few miles away as and when they think about becoming an entrepreneur.
The above entrepreneur ship ideas are not a comprehensive list. But I felt these entrepreneur ship ideas can contribute some insights on what an entrepreneur has to do and how he or she can be successful.
Readers, I would like to receive your feedback and suggestions about the Business Ideas. You can leave a comment in below comments section.

Media 012516 DACA-DAPA
Mexico Hails US
Supreme Court Decision in re DACA and DAPA
Mexican Embassy,
Washington, D.C.
The Government of Mexico welcomes the decision of the United States Supreme Court to review the legality of the preliminary
injunction of the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Deferred Action for
Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA).
In the coming months, the Supreme Court will analyze the decisions
of the district and circuit courts that keep enjoined the implementation of DAPA and expanded DACA. A decision allowing
them to take effect would result in millions of immigrants being able to file applications under these
deferred action programs to enjoy legal certainty and continue contributing to the well-being of their families and enriching
the communities in which they reside.
Mexico calls to take into consideration the positive impact of these programs in the
lives of immigrant families, as well as in the economy and social fabric of the United States.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its consular
network and Embassy in the United States, will closely follow this legal procedure to keep the Mexican community informed.

Eat Purple, Red and Blue to Lower Diabetes Risk
Nov 2nd, 2015
Eat Purple, Red, and Blue to Lower Diabetes Risk
Factoring in flavonoids
Flavonoids are a group of nutrients that give many plant foods their bright purple, red, and blue colors. Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and red cabbage are examples of flavonoid-rich foods.
To study how these nutrients affect type 2 diabetes risk, researchers collected diet and lifestyle information approximately every four years beginning in 1980, and continuing through 2003, from more than 200,000 adult men and women. They looked at five sub-groups of flavonoids:
- flavonols,
- flavones,
- flavanones,
- flavan-3-ols, and
- anthocyanins.
Other factors that can affect diabetes risk were assessed and accounted for, including age, body weight, ethnicity, physical activity, multivitamin use, smoking, alcohol use, family history of diabetes, menopausal status, and hormone use in females. Dietary patterns were also reviewed, including caloric intake and the amounts and types of certain foods in participants' diets, including dietary fats, red meat, fish, high-calorie soda and punch, and coffee.
Anthocyanins, the favorite flavonoid
After analyzing data collected over nearly a quarter century, the researchers found:
- People who ate the most anthocyanins were 15% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared with people who ate fewer of these nutrients.
- People who ate the most blueberries, a food particularly rich in anthocyanins, were 23% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared with people who did not regularly eat blueberries.
- People who ate the most apples and pears, both anthocyanin-packed foods, were 23% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared with people who did not eat many apples or pears.
Finding flavonoid-rich food choices
While this study is observational and cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship, it agrees with previous research suggesting anthocyanins and foods that contain these flavonoids may protect against chronic disease. Our tips will help you work more healthy anthocyanin-rich foods into your daily diet, as well as other flavonoids that have been found to enhance health in other studies.
- Begin with breakfast. The first meal of the day is ideal for working in anthocyanins. Add fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries to your oatmeal or cereal. Or try a fruit smoothie by blending together 1/2 cup Greek yogurt; 1 cup soy, rice, almond, or skim milk; and 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries.
- Snack smartly. Snacks are a great place for squeezing in more anthocyanins. A small handful of almonds or walnuts mixed with 1/3 cup dried blueberries makes for a tasty mid-afternoon break.
- Involve the kids. During berry season, gather up the kids and head out for a couple of hours of berry picking at a local, "u-pick" farm. Kids who are more involved in food preparation—and in this case food gathering—are more likely to enjoy the healthy fare featuring that food.
- Explore ethnic foods. Ethnic foods are a great way to get your flavonoids. Purple cabbage and onions appear in many Asian dishes, and black beans, a staple in Mexican food, offer a nice array of flavonoids too.

You may be looking into the idea of purchasing a home and have been wondering why you need to involve a third-party in the whole deal. Some people have managed to do so quite successfully, but they are only a small margin, and many others end up buying their homes for so much more than the property is really worth.
In Singapore, a key component of household wealth is property and about 47 percent of household assets are tied up in real estate. However, the process of buying or selling a house is both a financially and emotionally demanding experience, and you will need to be guided through the complex process. If you are considering one of Property Guru's Singapore property, here are some of the top reasons why you should consider hiring a professional real estate agent.
The Experience
For starters, you do not have or ever need to know all the laws, tricks and other survival tactics that go into the selling and buying of real estate in Singapore when you hire a real professional. The real trick, however, is finding the right real estate agent who has more experience and education on such matters than you, to do the job for you. At the same time you will save yourself some valuable time; something you would not have if you decided to do the job for yourself.
A Buffer Zone
Agents also act as a buffer zone screening all those who request showings of the property and visits as the seller. As a buyer, the agent will protect you from the seller's agents looking to get a bigger bargain out of you by trying to get you to purchase at a higher price than dictated in the market. When you decide to sell your property later, your agent will be in a good position to tell which buyers are serious about purchasing the property and negotiate with them to make better offers.
Get All the Information
You will be amazed by the amount of intimate knowledge agents possess about the industry buzz within a particular neighborhood. Real estate agents are in a better position to accurately compare sales of similar properties within the area and hand over the facts to you as the buyer. They are a helpful bunch in leading you to the right sources of information covering vital statistics like crime, schools and other demographics to ensure that you are buying property in the right neighborhood.
Find the Real Value of Property
Contrary to common belief, these agents do not set or select the prices at which buyers and or sellers pay and are paid for properties. The onus of such a task is left to the individuals who have a direct interest in such transactions and the agents are only there to guide their clients into making the right choices. Traditionally, the agent will receive a percentage of the sale as commission and it is their task to study the market supply, conditions and demand to devise a negotiation line of attack.
Get a Clear Picture of the Market
Agents are in a better position to understand and expertly interpret the market conditions that govern the home selling and buying process. Some of the data required to make the purchase or sale of a home a success include median and regular sales prices, regular cost of per square foot of similar premises within the neighborhood, among other information. They largely contribute to the direction one will take.
Other Services
Working in a service-oriented field and with the competition from other agents growing, it is difficult for a real estate agent to stand out. While a few agents can find potential clients by word-of-mouth marketing, most often, property agents will go the extra mile to ensure they secure property deals. In today's world, your real estate agent may even run errands for you and also pick you and drop you off wherever you want to go.
The agents are probably some of the best information sources when it comes to selecting other professionals who you can get in touch with to provide important services. Some of the professionals you need to work with include home inspectors, electricians, plumbers and others. Recommendations are most often of individuals and companies they have worked with before. Legal liability however, prevents agents from directly naming some service and product providers over others.
In short, hiring the services of a real estate agent provides a buffer between you and the market, access to intricate neighborhood knowledge, and an individual with specialized education and experience. They also provide guidance when determining price, market conditions information, and professional networking that will be of particular advantage to you. The Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) encourages prospective home owners to only carry out home purchase through licensed estate agents and salespersons. It is said that one of the smartest decisions you can make is to hire an individual who is smarter than you, to work for you.

Breakingviews: Barnier naive on banks
April 23 - The EU's top financial regulator seems out of touch on banking reform. Michel Barnier says the U.S. should give European banks a break. Breakingviews says history suggests this view may prove naive.
Deserves -- breaking news is the years so regulator Michel -- out of touch. With regulation of what the US is planning. -- Dominique Kelley joins me to but don't -- This is this is an interesting story arm. Does does -- ain't really thing the we've gone to fall.

The -- to spin on the wall in terms of well the US is doing hand and then at the moment fruit for awhile I mean banks have. Widely being seem to not enough capital. I'm regulates is in the US in the UK it's all -- look at the experience for Lehman Brothers was that we couldn't the US couldn't get them money out of the UK. Now I think the best way to solve -- is to have banks hold capital in the respective countries separately. -- -- seems to me to be a good idea Bonnie day. I'm not quite sure what he's singing at that perhaps he's skating. You go to all these other things. Maybe that's -- way that we can we we can -- solve all the problems and we don't need something else on top of that the -- make financing more costly in Europe just. Just looking up parts of this lesson that -- read two brits out fest. The rule would seem to represent a radical departure from the existing US policy and consolidated supervision of foreign -- that. It seems to me that he's just upset that they imagining. What. He wants to make sure that everything is done and coordinated and orchestrated at a global level site. That's where -- is coming from he thinks that. Together the EU. United is the US the UK they can all get together on as a team they can make sure the banks are able to be resolved and supervised. But actually in practice we -- already put -- away from us and things like the European banking union that would help from a global standpoint to do all of that stuff to -- miles away.

(WASHINGTON) — The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it has not lifted its ban against travel to or from Tel Aviv's airport and will prohibit air travel to Israel for an additional 24 hours.
"The agency is working closely with the Government of Israel to review the significant new information they have provided and determine whether potential risks to U.S. civil aviation are mitigated so the agency can resolve concerns as quickly as possible," the FAA said in a statement.
This comes a day after the agency barred all American air carriers from flying to or from Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv following a rocket attack within a mile of the airport.
The order was issued at 12:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, with the FAA saying it would hold for up to 24 hours until an update on Wednesday.
Dozens of flights and hundreds of passengers were affected.
The list of airlines that chose to follow the FAA's guidelines extended outside of the U.S., with Air Canada, Lufthansa, German Wings and Air France canceling their scheduled flights in addition to US Airways, Delta and United.
British Airways and Russian carrier Rossiya continued their flights to Ben Gurion, as did Israel's commercial airline El Al, whose planes have their own missile detection systems.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg flew into Tel Aviv on an El Al flight Wednesday morning as a show of support for Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the ban will be seen as a victory by Hamas.

First thing we did in our first morning in Bordeaux was to head towards the skatepark to try to get some challenges done. Ricky volunteered to do a tailwhip on a scooter with rollerblades on, and a local rollerblader volunteered to give his love to Ricky.
Ricky looked a bit confused, and was having trouble reaching the scooter just 2 metres away.
After several tries, he landed it. I'd like to say it was amazing, but it wasn't. It was quite a good piece of reputation destruction. Ricky will never be the same after that.
Later on we stopped in a supermarket to get some food. I found a strange old lady feeding pigeons but she left as soon as she saw my camera.
It was a very long stop. This was probably one hour later the previous photo, still in the parking lot.
We headed to Filarmonic (I think that's the name) where there was this rail. Nick and Rick wanted to do the 10 tricks on a rail challenge. Rain was threatening again, so they both went for it straight away. We also got kicked out, but Nick was able to land his 10th trick, even with two women trying to block the run up.
Then we went to this famous spot of the city, where nobody felt like skating.
The place is quite nice though, there are always all kinds of people looking at things, and I always wonder what they are looking at.
We also met Benjamin Garcia, the local talent and really mellow guy. I tried to share my (literally) 3 words of French with him, but from then on he spoke to me in French, really fast. I had no idea what he was talking about, and even if I tried to tell him to speak in English, he kept answering me in French, but it was actually fun figuring out what he was trying to say. We shot a photo of him switch hardflipping a set of stairs for his Check.
The night brought Monsieur Sebastien Daurel aussi, and I enjoyed beers and dinner with him. After that he came along with us to a McDonalds, Ricky felt like trying to eat 10 Big Macs.
We told him he didn't have to eat them in a row, he had a whole day to do it. But he insisted he could do it. He didn't break the 4th Big Mac barrier, but was funny to see his face.

Research Scholars Program
The 21st century brings increased challenges and responsibilities in medicine, environmental quality, animal agriculture, and species preservation. Such challenges can only be met through a commitment to understanding and an investment in research. Veterinarians, with their broad training in animal biology and comparative medicine, have made and continue to make major contributions to research in these areas. However, the number of graduating veterinarians who pursue careers in research is small, even in the face of increasing demand and attractive salary.
Goals of the Research Scholars ProgramIn view of the potential contribution that research veterinarians can make to the biomedical, agricultural and environmental sciences, we have instituted a Research Scholar Program within the veterinary curriculum of the WIMU Regional Program in Veterinary Medicine. The goals of the Research Scholar Program are to:
- Attract to the veterinary student population, and hence to the veterinary profession, individuals of exceptional aptitude who are oriented toward a career of basic or applied research
- Maintain a high level of motivation for these individuals to pursue advanced training and become productive research scientists
- Provide training in the philosophy and methodology of science, as well as hands-on research experience from the level of problem identification through publication of results
- Encourage the participant's scholarly development through concurrent DVM/PhD programs and/or postdoctoral training.
Research and Training Environment at USU and WSU
The USU School of Veterinary Medicine and the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine provide excellent environments in which to pursue research training. The USU Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences has particularly strong research programs in: reproduction and development, molecular genetics, virology and infectious diseases, animal nutrition, and toxicology. At the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine, there are exceptionally strong research programs in the areas of neurobiology, blood and cardiopulmonary studies, muscle function, pharmacology/toxicology, infectious disease and immunology, radiation biology and therapy, and population medicine. All of these research programs use a variety of state-of-the-art methods, from the molecular to the organismal and computational. The laboratories in these areas are recognized internationally, both within and outside the veterinary profession, for their technical and conceptual leadership. Virtually all of our active researchers at the USU-SVM and WSU-CVM are willing to advise Research Scholars and to sponsor their training. Research Scholars also benefit from the flexibility of the fourth year in the veterinary curriculum, which permits scheduling of blocks of several months for research activities.
Research Scholars CurriculumIn keeping with the goals of the program, Research Scholars participate fully in the veterinary curriculum. Additional curricular requirements, unique to the Research Scholar Program, focus on encouraging intellectual involvement in research problem solving and on providing a hands-on research experience for each student under the supervision of a faculty mentor. These additional curricular requirements are:
- A weekly fall seminar course in Research Orientation (VM508/VM7508) to survey ongoing research and research services, the goal of which is to acquaint students with the nature of ongoing research programs in the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine, USU School of Veterinary Medicine, and associated institutions and departments. At the end of the fall semester, students formally submit their applications to the Research Scholars Program for review by the WIMU Research Scholars Steering Committee.
- A weekly spring seminar course in Research Issues (VM509/VM7509), organized around selected monographs that emphasize concepts, issues, and points of historical interest essential to the intellectual enterprise of research.
Laboratory Research and Publication
Students are free to choose an adviser as early as the time of admission. However, each student should have selected an adviser by the end of the first semester in the Program. The adviser and student will develop a research program for the student, which will be well circumscribed, and within the student's capabilities. Arrangements will be made for the student to begin working on a project at a time that is acceptable to both student and mentor. It is expected, however, that Research Scholars will begin hands-on laboratory work at their earliest opportunity and no later than the first summer following entry into the veterinary curriculum. All Research Scholars are expected to be involved in research during the summer months (Summer Research Fellowship). This research will be based on the proposal submitted during the previous spring. A second summer research proposal must be submitted during the spring of the student's second year. During the third year of the professional curriculum, Research Scholars are expected to attend weekly Departmental research seminars, and are encouraged to continue their research activities during the academic year to the extent that doing so does not interfere with professional coursework (a summer research proposal is not required). By graduation, each student should have submitted at least one article for publication in a refereed journal.
Financial Support for Research Scholars
Veterinary students participating in the Research Scholar Program are eligible for all forms of financial aid available to other veterinary students. In addition, the Research Scholars Steering Committee may award stipends to students when funds are available. Currently, participants receive $2,500 during each of the first three years. A funded Summer Research Fellowship will provide an additional stipend above and beyond that provided by the Research Scholars Program. No stipends are awarded during the fourth year. Stipend recipients must sign a loan payback agreement committing them to completion of the Research Scholar Program through the fourth year of professional study. If a student voluntarily terminates participation in the Research Scholars Program during the second or third year of the program, any monies received beyond the first year will be considered a loan to be repaid to the USU-SVM or WSU-CVM, rather than a grant. Individual research advisers and departments may supplement Research Scholar stipends at any time. Such supplements would not be covered by the payback agreement. Furthermore, students may elect to stay in the Research Scholars Program but to decline financial support subsequent to the first year.
Admission to the Research Scholar Program
Admission to the Research Scholar Program is competitive. Students interested in the Program should attend the fall seminar course VM508/VM7508 during their first year of veterinary school. Students apply for admission to the Research Scholars Program by submitting application materials midway through their first year in the professional curriculum. Research Scholar candidate applications are reviewed by the WIMU Research Scholars Steering Committee. The Committee will also review each student's original application to veterinary school as part of the total application package for the Research Scholars Program. Students who do not apply or who were not admitted to the Research Scholar Program in their first year may make application midway through their second year of veterinary school. Those students should attend the seminar course VM508/VM7508 in fall semester of the second year. The applications of these students will be reviewed with those of the current first year students. In the spring semester, research scholars are required to take a second seminar course VM509/VM7509, which covers topics such as biomedical ethics, experimental design, etc.

About Us
Ballet Black is a professional ballet company for international dancers of black and Asian descent. The company was founded in 2001 by our Artistic Director, Cassa Pancho MBE, in order to provide role models to young, aspiring black and Asian dancers. We aim to bring ballet to a more culturally diverse audience by celebrating black and Asian dancers in ballet. We perform and offer community driven classes for dancers and students, young and old.
Our ultimate goal is to see a fundamental change in the number of black and Asian dancers in mainstream ballet companies, making that vision wonderfully unnecessary.
You can read more about our progression over the past decade on our History page. You can also read a more in-depth profile on Cassa Pancho here.

Grzegorz Jarzyna constructs hyper-reality, dividing the text amongst a small, unnamed cast: a doctor, a surgeon, a brother, and a lover, all surrounding Magdalena Cielecka as the afflicted. We see disconnection, tenderness, and solitary struggle. Characterization that feels like forced plot could exist alternatively as internal monologue. As Cielecka's relations fail to understand her battle with depression, we sense that she is just as impaired in understanding herself.
St. Ann's Warehouse provides an unusually deep space, keeping us remote from much of the action, heightening a sense of helplessness. The actors' movements are affected with a cold precision, crystallizing our visual perception. Across the back of the set is a series of mirrors in which we can see ourselves watching. The action becomes a two-way reflection, reminding us of our vulnerability.
We additionally experience knowing someone suffering from depression's debilitating effects in a way Polish-speakers do not. Supertitles give us the script with a typeset calmness that is hard to believe. We know Sarah Kane wrote the words, but Cielecka's manic delivery begs the question if something is lost in translation. The last lines of each section remain on screens in transitional blackouts, speaking to us separately from humans on stage. Practicality becomes poetry as reminders of our inability to help refuse to leave our sight.
It's difficult shifting from experiencing depression to witnessing it. We see Cielecka hyperbolically kill herself, as numbers that double as prescriptions count down her last moments, yet she never relents her demands that we see, hear, touch and love her. Her command, "watch [her] vanish," requires us to sense decreased sensation, similar to the depressive's experience. This paradoxical exchange equates the inability to connect with a depressive with the inability to connect that symptomizes depression itself. Her mantra is a tragic pun, existing as a genuine cry for help and an attention-seeking trope at once.

That's not what eponymous means... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:58, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yup, that's true. But per eponym, it is a common nonstandard usage which makes for a snappier article title. --Tagishsimon (talk) 17:25, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
- snappiness is not encyclopedic, and neither is this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 15:49, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Hofstadter's law[edit]
I miss Hofstadter's law (after Douglas Hofstadter), usually quoted as "It will always take longer than you think, even when Hofstadter's Law is taken into account" or the like, but I do not know the source (a Google search turns up a lot of quotations, but no source, and the Wikipedia article about Hofstadter does not mention it). Can someone who's better informed please write the entry? --184.108.40.206 15:38, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Oliver Burkeman wrote an excellent piece in the Guardian that referred to Hofstadter's Law - http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/aug/02/healthandwellbeing.psychology 325jdc (talk) 12:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
It's stated in Godel Escher Bach on pg. 152--"Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law." tom (talk) 21:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Poe's law[edit]
There are now more than 23,000 results for "Poe's Law" (quotes included) on Google. It shows up in a number of blogs and wikis, and has even made it into a research paper.
- Paper: Scott F. Aikin Paper. Scott F. Aikin, PhD
- Blogs: IMDB has reposted Just Press Play. Museum of Hoaxes. Pharyngula ( PZ Myers of Pharyngula (blog) ). And another. Many others.
- Wikis/Glossaries: RationalWiki, UrbanDictionary, TVTropes, Conservapedia, NationMaster.
I believe that this may make it sufficiently used to merit an entry in the English Wiktionary. I'm looking for your feedback on the option of adding it to the list of eponymous laws, or creating a disambiguation page out of the previous deleted articles. I realise this has been nominated successfully twice before, but I believe the situation is different, even "so soon" after, and that the expression is likely to continue to propagate. Much like at least one Keep vote said, I came here looking for the definition, it may be time to add it. (in fact google results for THIS poe's law outweigh the existing poe's law?) - BalthCat (talk) 02:41, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- Please read the talk page archive for this issue, linked above. Google results are not sufficient to merit inclusion. None of the links you have presented are reliable sources, and many of them have been specifically addressed in discussion here before. I can't speak for Wiktionary, but it is still unsuitable for Wikipedia. — Hex (❝?!❞) 09:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- Several of those sources are perfectly fine and it should be in this list, many of the those sources are used as cites in other articles about other subjects. Unfortunately, in this case we have an involved admin that will actively use their powers to stifle debate and block users who try and add what should be added. Good luck. Tmtoulouse (talk) 18:01, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- Your link's top result is now a PhD research paper, referring to Poe's Law in the title. There is clear evidence this term is in use, on a blog notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia... by a person notable enough to merit his own article on top of the blog's... use by an incredibly notable (in North America) film critic...
- I'm looking for more guidelines as to what point does this neologism become not-trivial and become more like Godwin's Law? I'm not clear on where that line will be crossed. (I read a great deal of the discussion you linked me to, however there appeared to be a great deal of negativity and not a great deal of explanation.) For example, the saying may be notable, but the origin currently unverifiable. That doesn't make the saying non-notable. Are we perhaps confusing separate issues: the notability of the saying in use, the verifiability of the saying's truth, and the verifiability of the saying's author? - BalthCat (talk) 20:03, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- A self-published paper is not a reliable source. "Used on a notable blog" is not a measure for inclusion in Wikipedia. — Hex (❝?!❞) 13:30, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- But lists of jargon from old usenet FAQs are? (ie: Godwin's Law) This is what I'm having a problem understanding. - BalthCat (talk) 16:27, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- "Godwin;s Law" is in at least one book [1], mention in the NYT [2], [3], (85 times in the NYT site). "Poe's Law" zero. A bit of a difference, one might say. Collect (talk) 16:47, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- I emailed PZ Myers, to see if he is aware of any published academic papers that refer to Poe's law. The exisence of even one scholarly paper is enough to merit this law its own wikipedia page. While re-directing Poe's law to here and using some obscure EEP reference MIGHT be within the letter of the law, it certainly violates the spirit.CalvinLawson (talk) 02:32, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

For goodness sakes people, Wikipedia is not Wikiquote or Wiktionary. The article Harry Lee Poe has been around since the last time this came up, and you wouldnt believe it ... nobody has added this inconsequential fact to that article ... WHY!!?!? Perhaps two or three very minor mentions are not indicative of notability. John Vandenberg (chat) 13:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's cool, but "Poe's law" is by a "Nathan Poe" rather than Harry Lee Poe.... — Hex (❝?!❞) 13:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well something needs to be done. "Poe's law" currently redirects to this page, but the law isn't actually mentioned on the page, and "Poe's Law" (with an upper-case "L") currently goes to a "This page deleted" message. It's all a bit of a dissatisfying compromise and confusing for casual browsers (such as myself) - either we need to add the law to the list, or we need get rid of the redirect page ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- <bangs forehead> You're right, I must have looked right through it because it wasn't wikilinked - my mistake. Good work on sorting out the red link - I was going to do so myself, but I wasn't sure, with the deleted page, whether I was blindly stepping into an editors' minefield.
There does appear to be some confusion regarding which law we mean: the "Poe's Law" with which I'm familiar, and to which the above posters seem to be referring, is the one (apparently) by Nathan Poe regarding parodies which get confused for the thing they're parodying: the one mentioned in this article is by Edgar Allen Poe and is concerned with the length of poems. I agree entirely that at the moment the former doesn't appear noteworthy enough to be included, but I can see this becoming a bit of a disambig/redirect mess if it ever does become prevalent enough to warrant a mention in WP ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 21:36, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

New information: It's the #2 law in an article, not blog or opinion piece, on the British news site (Digital Publisher of the Year), the Telegraph [4]. It's also the top story at this moment in "Technology News" [5]. You'll notice that the URL even includes the name "Poe". From the NEWS article, again, not a blog, it states: "We take a look at 10, with the most well-known and widely used towards the top and some of the lesser lights lower down. If you know any more, let us know below." The #2 law is "Poe's Law". It states, "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing." It gives the origin too. "It was originally formulated by Nathan Poe in 2005 during a debate on christianforums.com about evolution, and referred to creationism rather than all fundamentalism, but has since been expanded." Rules #1, #3, and #4 are all listed in our list. If the third and fourth rules are named in Wikipedia, and this list is organized by most well-known to least well-known, then surely the second rule should be included. According to the Telegraph's Wikipedia article, "Telegraph.co.uk became the most popular UK newspaper site in April 2008". Okay. We now have a true news article from a very respectable news (not opinion, not blog) site that gives the explicit text of Poe's Law as well as its origins. Can we finally add this to the list? Sleeker (talk) 23:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
- I have decided to be bold and add it on the grounds that the Telegraph article is sufficiently sound as a source.--A bit iffy (talk) 11:24, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
- This "reliable source" is merely quoting or paraphrasing from the things listed above that were considered unreliable. Am I the only one who finds this silly? Or is all this some sort of meta-Poe aimed at making fun of Wikipedia? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed, very silly. They just made an internet rumor into something verifiable in a reliable source, didn't they? Shit happens. Live with it. There's also now a 2009 university research article "Poe's Law, Group Polarization, and the Epistemology of Online Religious Discourse". Dicklyon (talk) 23:25, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- To some extent, it does call into question what satisfies notability. There are a lot of items on this list that are uncited, but are notable. There are equally items that may not be notable, but are cited. In some ways notability is like pornography: you know it when you see it. But one person's notability is another person's trivia. If the information presented in the Telegraph article is merely a regurgitation of information already presented and deemed to be non-notable, then why does that same information when presented in the article grant the imprimatur of notability?

- This "reliable source" is merely quoting or paraphrasing from the things listed above that were considered unreliable. Am I the only one who finds this silly? Or is all this some sort of meta-Poe aimed at making fun of Wikipedia? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

- Let's put it this way. I think Poe's Law was notable before the Telegraph article. The fact that it's been cited by multiple respected websites seems to satisfy the web portion of WP:NOTE. The fact that we needed an admittedly basic newspaper article in order to allow it to merit inclusion suggests to me that the rejection was based on meeting an unnecessary demand.

_____ Effect[edit]
Can these types of "laws" be included too? For example Flynn effect, plus many others? -- Ϫ 19:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics[edit]
This seemed like a fairly obvious exclusion, though perhaps because of a Wikipedia rule I am unaware of. I'm not really sure if it should be added under 'Asimov' or 'Three' or 'Laws', but I hope someone can go ahead and add it if it is appropriate.

Applying Hex's Standards[edit]
I've read through these talk archives and just done a rather large edit applying Hex's requirements for the inclusion of Poe's Law to all the other laws on this list. I have been generous, in that I've assumed that any law with a cite, of any kind, is not using a cite that is 'self published', as Hex would view it, and that cite is also 'verifiable' and/or 'reliable' as Hex would view it, without actually checking up on whether this is the case. Unfortunately, despite this generousity, the list is still now a shadow of it's former self, though, for some reason, the Poe's Law that's named for Edgar Allan Poe was hidden, so I've unhidden it. I expect it will get reverted quite quickly, but, hopefully, this will demonstrate to Hex precisely how ridiculous he's being. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Specifically, the discussion concerning "Poe's Law" as an addition has broad consensus among registered edotors here. It is not just one person's "law" -- it is consensus you would have to change. And the consensus is that any added law must be fully cited. and note further that all recent additions of which I am aware are fully cited. Vaandalism to make a point is still vandalism, by the way. Thank you most kindly. Collect (talk) 13:27, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- I realise this is now academic, due to the Telegraph publishing an article detailing Poe's Law, but I am curious as to how it can be justified that the rules that Hex was supposedly applying only apply to some of this list, but not all of this list, especially considering he was citing rules that are supposed to be universally applied to everything on Wikipedia (according to what he was saying, anyway - this would actually seem to be contradicted by the part about the rules being 'best treated with common sense and the occasional exception' that is on the top of virtually all rule pages on Wikipedia). 220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. One cannot apply a standard in one place and eschew it in another without being guilty of hypocrisy. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 22:02, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
I have edited several of the names of the laws (i.e., "Kerckhoffs's Principle") and added an s to the end of the name. This is to ensure grammatical correctness; please do not revert these edits because they "look funny" to you. I assure you that incorrect grammar "looks funny" to me.220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the spelling you quote above contradicts that given throughout the Kerckhoffs' principle article itself. If you feel that it is incorrect, please raise it on the talk page for that article, have it fixed throughout (and the article renamed), and then correct it here. I have returned it to the previous spelling in the time being. — Hex (❝?!❞) 18:35, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Poe's Law[edit]
There is now a reliable secondary source for the origin and purpose of Poe's Law: [6]. I propose that we reconsider including it in the article. Stile4aly (talk) 18:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

- Two points: (1) The source is not scholarly. (2) The source is reporting a list of internet memes. Using this as an acceptable source would open the floodgates to other internet memes and expressions. Poe's Law looks out of place compared to genuine eponymous laws. One casual mention in the Telegraph does not mean it belongs here. My best guess is that some users from the "Rational Wiki" are pushing a personal agenda here.

Prandtl–Glauert transformation[edit]
It's stated that this is also known as "Prandtl–Glauert rule". Would this and other mathematical 'rules' qualify for the list? -- œ™ 03:52, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- In my view, no. The list was started to collect things known as laws - i.e. that had "law" in the title. I think there are or should be other eponym page to collect such things as Prandtl–Glauert. --Tagishsimon (talk) 12:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- In this same vein, I'm not sure Bayes's Theorem and Pythagoras's Theorem should be included. They're both purely mathematical results, and there are many mathematical results named after people. If we include these, why shouldn't the others be on this page? Cyrapas (talk) 23:37, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
How significant should laws be to be mentioned ?[edit]
There are a number of laws that come to my mind when reading this entry:
da Vinci's law (after Leonardo da Vinci, actually several laws; like in fluid mechanics, proportion, friction, of free fall (which was wrong))
Galileo's law of free fall
Pythagoras' law: When the tension on a string remains the same but the length L is varied, the period of the vibration is proportional to L (after the guy with the rectangular triangles)
Aristotle's law of the identity
Plato's law on slavery
Markov's law (after A.A. Markov)
Marx' law of profit
Goethe's law
Hilbert's law of the excluded middle (after David Hilbert, mathematician)
Minkowski's law in general relativity
Pepys' law "I see it is impossible for the King to have things done as cheap as other men" after Samuel Pepys
and this list could go on for some time. All of these will get some hits on the web, but not many. Pythagoras with more than 3000 seems to top the list. Well on second thought actually Galileo's law get 14000 hits. OK, I should not be counting hits, but with the exception of Pepys for which I only found a reference in a newspaper, all of the names are renowned or controversial scholars, so it will be no problem at all, to come up with reliable references. But my question is more, whether more obscure laws should be added - lest the list becomes forbiddingly long.
All of the laws mentioned above seem interesting to me, but some are clearly for the experts. So where is the threshold for adding a law ? Goethe's law at the time caused a serious debate and some scholars still investigate it, but it is not in the mainstream of science, as I would perceive it. Aristotle you simply cannot leave out (my feeling). On the other hand none of these are on the list. Any particular reason ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:01, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- The list was started, iirc, by listing "law" articles found in wikipedia. The criteria then was, thus, that an article existed. Over time laws which have no articles have been added; in the main, some sort of referenced justification has been given, or else searching after the fact has confirmed the currency of the law. I think the present situation is that if you can make a referenced case for a law, then the law should go in. I don't think length should be a consideration. I've looked at a number of the laws you've listed, and they check out to my satisfaction - as you note, Pepys excepted. I respect that this answer represents a fairly flakey threshold measure; but there you go. I'd advise adding those you feel have widespread currency. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:25, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed,I see we've tried to constrain the scope by saying at the top of the list "This list of eponymous laws provides links to articles on laws, adages, and other succinct observations or predictions named after a person" (my emphasis). Notwithstanding that, if sufficient evidence can be adduced that there is commonplace knowledge of an eponymous law not in this list, I think the law should be added. --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:50, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- Related to that, I wonder if it counts if a law is by name a law, but isn't an adage exactly. For example, Wheaton's Law. (which does not have it's own page, but does have a section under Wil_Wheaton) Oakwright (talk) 05:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
The lead sentence says, "This list of eponymous laws provides links to articles on laws, adages, and other succinct observations or predictions named after a person." Is there a proposal to do differently? Dicklyon (talk) 21:32, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Davis' law[edit]
"..used in anatomy to describe how soft tissue models along imposed demands. It is the corollary to Wolff's law." I saw this law was missing from the list and was about to add it, until I read that the full name of the person is unknown. Does it still qualify for addition? -- Ϫ 02:09, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- IMO, yes. --Tagishsimon (talk) 13:22, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Proposal to add LeBlanc's law[edit]
LeBlanc's Law states: "Later equals never" is used in the context of software development, but may be applied more broadly to other areas. The law is attributed to Dave LeBlanc.

Jenkins's Principle of Electron Spin-out[edit]
In engineering projects, often a reason for an event is needed, but sometimes it is hard to find a satisfactory explanation. For an electrical project, Tom Jenkins recently wrote this about a reason for no voltage being found at certain terminals. According to Tom, the idea of "electron spin-out" has been around for years, and has been used at many other companies to explain the difficult-to-explain occurances in the electrical world.
"True story: A resident engineer (previously proved to be clueless) was giving BS to one of my guys while he went through normal start-up. At one point he made a big deal out of the lack of voltage on some of our dry contacts. My man told him that there had been an electron spin-out because the electrician had made the wire bends too tight. At the afternoon progress meeting, this engineer used electron spin-out as his excuse for the project being behind schedule! On the next site trip there was a new resident engineer.
My engineer first heard about electron spin-out from me. I, in turn, first heard it from another of my employees, who in turn heard of it while he was a manufacturing engineer at the late great American Motors. Before that,[who knows]?"

Category anyone ?[edit]
Wow, just read the archive on the Poe's Law debate. What a lot of hot air just to rush/delay the inevitable. I suspect some kooks and trolls were involved in the debate (no smiley).
Now to my point, the word eponymous I first saw on this list page and was quite tickled and have had quite some fun following links and learning great wisdom. My difficulty is that when I send people to a wiki page for an eponymous law I wish they could also find and enjoy this list, after looking a while it seems that nothing will show up in the footer or source to indicate inclusion in this list. For me the word eponymous seems to suffer from some sort of aphasic (had to look that word up as well again) block so I have had trouble finding the list again myself. Just today I thought to use the What links here button so that is me sorted as this list is one of the visited links near the top.
Now what about other people who do not know that this list exists but are reading an eponymous law page on WikiPedia?
Would it make any sense to mirror this information in a category and make maintaining the list perhaps even easier by having new laws pushed into the listed page section (by editors adding tags when new pages are created) and keeping this part with the descriptions where available as the the page body? - Idyllic press (talk) 21:39, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Deadly bus blast rocks Turkey-Syria border
Feb. 11 - A Syrian minibus exploded at a crossing on Turkey's border with Syria near the Turkish town of Reyhanli on Monday, killing at least 12 people including Turkish citizens and wounding dozens more, Turkish officials said. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: At least seven people were killed and dozens wounded when a car exploded at a crossing on Turkey's border with Syria near the Turkish town of Reyhanli on Monday. The mayor of Reyhanli said four of those killed were Turkish and that the car which exploded had Syrian license plates. Witnesses said they saw it drive up to the border post shortly before the explosion. There was severe damage to a series of cars at the border, where a gate was blown open and part of the roof collapsed. The Cilvegozu border gate, several kilometers outside the town of Reyhanli, sits opposite the Syrian gate of Bab al-Hawa, which the rebels captured last July. Turkey is a staunch supporter of the almost two-year-old uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has harbored both Syrian refugees and rebels.

While Toronto area politicians dance around the issue of road tolls, Vancouver's Mayors' Council, composed of 23 municipal leaders, has released a report calling for the "staged introduction of mobility pricing" to help fund that city's version of our Big Move transit plan.
The report, Regional Transportation Investments: A vision for Metro Vancouver, acknowledges that an influx of 1 million newcomers has it gripped in its own gridlock.
Although it's not clear what kind of pricing and technology Vancouver will consider, the report says it will take five to eight years to implement a system that is "cost-effective and fair."
Here's how some cities price road use to improve traffic flow and, in some cases, raise money for transit expansion.
London's congestion zone
How it works: Vehicles pay to drive into a central zone of London, but they only pay once a day, regardless of how often they enter or exit the district. The charge applies between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Licence plate numbers are recorded by cameras posted around the district's entry and exit points to the "charging zone," as it's called by Transport for London.
What it costs: Tolls range from the equivalent of $18.40 to $25.77 a day, depending on whether you pay in advance or by midnight the following day, and whether the motorist uses the automated payment system. Residents in the central district or those living in areas just outside the zone are eligible for a discount of up to 90 per cent.
Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden, congestion zones:
How it works: Similar to London in designating a central congestion zone. That district is surrounded by cameras mounted on gantries that look a lot like those on Highway 407. Charges are levied between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. in Stockholm and between 6 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. in Gothenburg. Drivers can move in and out of checkpoints once for free within an hour, but additional trips cost more.
What it costs: Price depends on time of day, with the highest charges applied during the morning and afternoon rush hours. It is slightly more costly in Stockholm, where motorists pay the equivalent of $1.63, $2.45, or $3.26 to a maximum of $9.82 per day. Drivers are issued a monthly bill for their passage through the cordon.
How it works: Gantry-mounted electronic readers interface with in-vehicle units. The driver inserts a cash card into the unit and the appropriate amount is deducted from the card account when the car passes through the gantry. The Singapore government says ERP (electronic road pricing) is about controlling congestion, not generating revenue.
What it costs: The rate varies according to the location and time of day a car passes under a gantry. Prices also vary within a designated time period to discourage motorists from accelerating through the gate to pass at a reduced cost. Traffic speeds are reviewed quarterly to determine whether the rates are having the desired effect on congestion. Charges are in place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. around the central business district. But on other roads, charges apply only between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Fees range from about 50 cents to $3. A commuter might pass through several gantries — adding to the fee each time — on a trip into the city centre.
Minnesota MnPASS Express Lanes
How it works: High-occupancy toll lanes are present on the I-394 (18 kilometres) and I-35W roads (25 kilometres into the city and 18 going out) into Minneapolis. Another toll lane opens next year into St. Paul. Cars with more than one occupant and buses can use the lanes for free. But single-occupant vehicles have the option of paying for access. Motorists have to sign up with a credit card number in advance. They lease a transponder similar to those used by Highway 407 drivers, for U.S. $1.50 a month. It attaches to the windshield and interfaces with an overhead electronic reader. Lane use is enforced by state police.
What it costs: Pricing varies according to the rate traffic is moving. The state has a commitment to keep traffic moving at 55 mph 90 per cent of the time. That means the charge upon entering the lane varies from about 25 cents to to $5 U.S. The average charge is about $1.75, according to a state spokesperson. The cost can go as high as $8 in the winter when drivers are anxious to keep moving, she said. There are 24,733 registered account holders.
How does it work: Gantry-mounted cameras record licence plate numbers and the toll authority bills the motorist according to the distance travelled. Cars carrying transponders (leased at $3.40 per month) save the video toll charge of $3.95 per trip.
What does it cost: The off-peak rate for evenings and weekends is about 19 cents per km. Rush-hour rates go up to 30 cents per km. There's a discount for travelling in the "light zone" between Highways 410 and 427. A trip between Dixie Rd. and Bayview Ave. in rush hour would cost about $9.94 in tolls.

As part of its CSR initiative,  GM India has gone a step further in ensuring the development of the community where its operations are located. Mr. Arvind Saxena, President & MD, General Motors India, today handed over a Cheque for Rs 150,000 to the school authorities at Sankalp School for the education, meals & hygiene of One Class in the presence of other GM India senior leadership. The great initiative is a noble gesture to ensure holistic development of the impoverished children of the school.
GM India reiterated its commitment towards the school run by an NGO 'Sankalp Welfare Society' in Gurgaon. Apart from financial assistance, GM India has committed full support to the school in the future as well.
GM India has been associated with Sankalp School for last many years now. As part of corporate social responsibility (CSR), GM India has organized activities for the students of Sankalp School including educational training programs, road safety classes and frequent visits to GM India's headquarters for training and education purposes. It may be recalled that on the occasion of India's Children's Day on November 14, 2013, GM India donated 91 indestructible 'One World Futbols' to the children of the school giving the 'Power of Play' to the students who can enjoy the game of football in the school premises

Y'all I am so humbled and excited to share that I received word yesterday morning that out of more than 8 MILLION paper back books, "Praying through Lyme Disease" is currently ranked #49,462 in Books on Amazon!!! In addition to this this little devotional is listed as #229 in this category!!
It is unbelievable to me that for such a little book it is ranked so high!!!! I was speechless when I found this out that after only a couple of months on the market (and for being such a "niche" book) it was ranked this high! This is also more than 1/2 of the ranking from May's ranking!
THANK YOU so much for spreading the word on this book, for purchasing it, and for being so supportive of this journey! My prayer is that every person reading this book will be drawn closer to the heart of God if they are suffering with this awful disease or are supporting a loved one suffering through this disease. Would you join me in that prayer?
Thank you again! If you are looking to purchase the book you can buy it where books are sold and find it on Amazon HERE.
Thank you again! Happy Sunday Friends!
