Poultry industry officials say a surge in product sales to Cuba could be halted by the Bush administration's attempt to reinterpret a 2000 trade law covering payment for the shipments.
"It could result in a complete loss in sales," said Richard Lobb, a spokesman for the National Chicken Council in Washington, D.C.
Poultry sales to Cuba more than doubled to $61 million in the past year, but Lobb said the change — if adopted — requires Cuba to deposit money for the purchases in U.S. banks before shipments leave port for Havana.
"Such a reinterpretation of this law would be a reckless act at the expense of Alabama's poultry farmers and producers," said Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks, who has traveled to Cuba supporting trade ties.
Treasury spokeswoman Molly Millerwise said Thursday the review of the 2000 law began when some U.S. financial institutions handling Cuba's purchases asked the government to clarify the policy.
"We expect to issue guidance in the near future," she said.
She declined to speculate on the final decision or the extent of a lobbying campaign against any change in the payment system. She said the U.S. Agriculture Department and State Department are working with Treasury on the issue.
The United States has maintained embargoes of various forms against Cuba for more than 40 years to pressure the communist-controlled island to make democratic and economic changes. Now Bush has named Cuban-born Carlos Gutierrez to his Cabinet as secretary of commerce and he's expected to support the president's policies of blocking most trade with Fidel Castro's government.
Agriculture products are only part of the multimillion-dollar trade with Cuba pegged to the 2000 law. Sales to Cuba are required to be in cash, but nothing is unloaded from vessels until Cuba's payments are deposited in a bank.
Federal officials, however, have been looking at the terminology "payment in advance" versus "cash against documentation" in the law to determine whether it extends a line of credit to Cuba.
The new interpretation of the law could potentially require "in-hand" prepayment for goods prior to being shipped out of the United States.
"Cuba is very concerned about the idea of putting money in a bank before the product has left U.S. ports, concerned it might be seized," Lobb said in a telephone interview.
Attempts to seize prepaid Cuban cargo in U.S. ports could come from anyone with claims against Cuba, said Alabama Port Authority spokeswoman Judith Adams in Mobile.
Food giants Tyson, Drayfus and Gold Kist Inc. currently ship about 15,000 tons of Alabama-raised poultry to Cuba, Alabama Port Director and CEO James K. Lyons said in a Nov. 29 letter to U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., enlisting his support in protecting the current payment system.
Other ports in the Southeast share in those shipments.
"There appears to be no legitimate grounds for considering U.S. agricultural sales transactions as a credit sale of goods, nor a need for tightening requirements on these U.S. sales to Cuba," Lyons said.
In Atlanta, Gold Kist spokesman Wayne Lord said the company awaits guidance from Treasury officials.
"We want to be in position to serve the world market within the limitations of the law," he said.
The National Chicken Council's Lobb said the current payment system is not an extension of credit to Cuba. He said officials at the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control and the State Department are giving a "bureaucratic" interpretation to the law.

Posted Feb 17, 2017 by Turley, Hansen & Rosasco on 9/11 Cancers
According to a recent attention grabbing article in the New York Daily News, the NY State Attorney General has now accused RD Legal Funding, a New Jersey lending company, of scamming 9/11 victims suffering from cancer. See my prior blog post here on press reports and litigation when RD Legal Funding had the audacity to sue a 9/11 victim for one of their outrageously expensive loans. Victims who are waiting for their 911 Victim Compensation Fund award should be treated better!
It is alleged by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman that RD Legal Funding scammed 9/11 victims out of millions, by "luring" them into taking out illegal loans with interest rates as high as 250 percent! See a copy of the Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's complaint here. The Attorney General deserves accolades for attempting to protect our 9/11 heroes from this shameful scam.
RD Legal Funding is one of the many companies who loan or advance cash to those waiting for a payout from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF). The outrageous profits from this lending are then funnelled into RD Capital, a hedge fund currently being investigated by the federal Securities and Exchange Commision. If my theory is correct, this means many 9/11 cancer victims are seeing their awards greatly diminished to line the pockets of hedge fund investors. SAD!
Not only did RD Legal Funding target 9/11 first responders and victims who suffered from cancer, they also preyed on NFL football players with serious and permanent brain injuries from multiple concussions. Some have dementia and early onset Alzheimer's. SAD!
According to an article in Forbes Magazine, "The NFL Players Association sent a "Fraud Alert" last week, but the fear is that far too many players eligible to receive proceeds from a settlement that could be worth $1 billion and may reach over 20,000 retired players are subject to being deceived into taking an "advance payment." The company at issue is RD Legal Funding, and authorities are also digging into two related entities as well as RD Legal's principal identified as Roni Dersovitz.
Huge Interest Rates for Those Who Received Money from RD Legal Funding
It appears RD Legal Funding specifically targeted two groups—9/11 first responders who developed cancer and were waiting on compensation from the 9/11 James Zadroga Act Fund and NFL football players who had suffered serious concussions with permanent brain injuries. The company identified vulnerable victims in these two categories who were awarded a settlement, but were waiting for the money to come through. RD Legal would then offer 9/11 victims awaiting payment from the WTC Fund—who were cancer stricken and often drowning in debt and medical bills—an upfront payment they could ostensibly repay once their settlement money came through. Then, when the settlement did come through and these 9/11 victims attempted to repay the loans, they found themselves paying more than twice the amount lent to them by RD Legal—sometimes only mere months earlier.
As an example, one woman who had been awarded $65,000 by the Zadroga WTC Fund (a 9/11 compensation fund set up by Congress for the benefit of first responders who suffered from medical issues directly related to the toxic dust which settled over the area), found herself owing nearly twice what she was advanced. The woman took out an loan from RD Legal of $18,000 to tide her over while she waited for her Zadroga Fund settlement. When she received that settlement, six months later, RD Legal informed her she now owed $33,000. SAD!
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of NY calls the practices of RD Legal Funding "shameful". RD Legal, as well as the founder of the Company, Roni Dersovitz are named as defendants in the current lawsuit by the Attorney General. Dersovitz has had prior troubles with the law, as he was not only accused of lying to investors of RD Legal Capital, but was also sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission last year.
The lawsuit against RD Legal Funding claims the company misled 9/11 victims by telling them they would help them get their settlements more quickly. In fact, RD Legal Funding has neither the ability nor permission to help a victim receive their settlement from the James Zadroga Fund more quickly than would normally happen.
The WTC Victim Compensation Fund lawyers at Turley, Hansen & Rosasco agree with the New York State Attorney General that the practices of RD Legal Funding are "shameful" and further victimize vulnerable 9/11 victims currently fighting cancer.
We suggest that no 9/11 first responder or victim applying to the WTC Victim Compensation Fund should use their services until the lawsuit from the New York Attorney General is completed. If you have already taken a loan from RD Legal Funding while you await your 9/11 settlement award money, we suggest you should call the New York State Attorney General's Office at 1-800-771-7755 or your 9/11 attorney to see if you must repay these outrageous loans.
Turley, Hansen & Rosasco have the resources and experience needed to represent first responders and survivors of 9/11 before the federal 911 WTC Victim Compensation Fund. Call us at 1-855-WTC-INFO (1-855-982-4636) if you have any questions.

With a husband in the Navy, we were destined to travel. Our first duty station after we were married was in Naples, Italy. We had an incredible two years of travelling around the countryside and exploring the cities. We especially enjoyed visiting a little hilltop town called Orvieto. The town is filled with 3-D art from a family of artists who own a shop called Michelangeli.
Orvieto is well known for its cathedral and history that can be traced to the third century B.C. Our favorite memories from Orvieto revolve around bringing our friends and family and introducing them to the table wine that we still enjoy serving to any guest. We prefer the Orvieto Classico by Ruffino and the Chianti Riserva also by Ruffino. If you have not tried these wines yet, please do!
Honestly speaking, the best souvenirs we brought home from our time in Italy were our two daughters, born in Naples. Thankfully they are old enough to appreciate wine as well! Both daughters are fortunate to have their local vineyards to share as they now live in France and California. Our son, who was born in California, now lives in England. We enjoy the local beers when we visit his pubs!
It took us a while to truly appreciate this, but my husband and I have to admit the glass really does make a difference when we drink our wine! We live near lots of businesses that sell wine, Total Wines is where we'll start. Friday afternoons, they open about 8 bottles from a various region and start with whites and end with reds and dessert wines. I like our plaid avenger professor encouraging us to sit at the computer with a glass of wine as we pay attention to his online course. I suppose I should plan to do this at night...
29 April 2013
Per John's sage instruction, when you find a wine you enjoy, buy a case. So, I ventured to Costco last week for red wine. We all know it's not easy to slip out with just one item, no matter how it's packaged. Nonetheless, I succeeded in my quest and am happy to report we have already popped one lid and savored each sip.
We started our ritual with picking the right vessel (large bulbous glass with long stem) for the red. We opened the bottle to let it breath a little, prepared our dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. What was it? Again, to channel John's advice... we leaned toward the < $10/bottle variety. I think it was actually less than $7 per bottle.
2011 Beaulieu Vineyard ("since 1900") Cabernet Sauvignon ~~ California Grown
Paired with a steak fresh off the barbie and a salad full of fresh vegetables, this wine was a winner. Don't let the 2011 deceive you. It looks young, but tastes full and smooth. Not a tart red wine nor is it sweet by any means. It is just right for a casual dinner. It goes down real easily. As the label on the back describes, you WILL smell and taste the blackberry and dark cherry. I especially like this description: velvety.
That's why we bought the case!

Opening hours:
Palazzo dei Normanni: Monday, Friday, Saturday 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-17:00, Sunday 9:00-14:00
Capella Palatina: Monday-Saturday 8:30-12:00 and 14:00-17:00
(last admission 30 minutes before closing)
Tickets: 6 EUR/adult, 3 EUR/child
Duration: 1,5-2 hours
On a plateau above the incessant traffic and hubbub of the modern city, the Norman Palace, Palermo's stronghold, rises skyward. This piece of architecture offers a taste of the rich variety of art, the simplicity and the poised style of the Norman Sicilian kings' court. The mosaics of Christ the Pantocrator the Evangelists, and images of stories from the New and Old Testaments, on a gold background, are masterly pieces of the palace.
Opening hours: March-October Monday-Friday 9:00 -17:30, Saturday-Sunday 7:30-13:30 and 16:00-19:00, November-February Monday-Friday 9:30-13:30, Saturday-Sunday 7:30-13:30 and 16:00-19:00
Free entrance to Cathedral.
Royal Tombs and Treasury: 2 EUR/person
Duration: 1 hour
Rising among the narrow streets and the low storey buildings of the Cassaro, the Duomo is majestic. Built in 1184, it still preserves its original structure in spite of the changes brought along the centuries, the most relevant of which was the addition of the aisles and of the baroque dome at the end of the XVIII century. The Cathedral features some sculptures by Gagini, together with Henry VI, Frederick II and Constance of Aragon's tombs, but also some verses from the Koran engraved on a column and the silver urn housing the remains of S. Rosalia, patroness of Palermo.
Opening hours: 9:00-12:00 and 15:00-17:00
Tickets: 1,5 EUR/person
In 1599, Capuchin monks discovered that their catacombs contained a mysterious preservative that helped mummify the dead. As a result, more than 8,000 Sicilians from all walks of life chose to be buried here. For visitors to Palermo who enjoy the macabre and/or bizarre, the Catacombs of the Capuchins are a must-see. Like most displays of human remains, a visit to the mummies can lead to reflection on the meaning of death.
Opening hours: Monday-Saturday 9:00-18:30, Sunday 9:00-13:30
Tickets: 3 EUR/adult, 2 EUR/child
Amongst the Sicilian palaces that open their doors to the visitors stands the majestic Mirto Palace, one of Palermo's aristocratic households. Most of its salons, furnished with original items owned by the family, are Baroque in style. The Chinese Salon is quite similar to the rooms of the Chinese Villa built for King Ferdinando of Naples just a few years later, and may have been an influence. Palazzo Mirto is remarkable in that it offers the visitor a unique glimpse into the lifestyle of Sicily's aristocratic families during the nineteenth century.
Opening hours: Monday-Friday 9:00-13:00 and 15:30-18:30, Saturday 9:00-13:00
Tickets: 5 EUR/adult, 3 EUR/child
Opening hours: 8:00-13:00 and 14:30-18:00
Free entrance.
Duration: 1,5 hours
Overlooking Palermo, the town of Monreale, from the Latin "Mons Regalis" (literally 'Royal Mountain'), straddles a slope of Mount Caputo. The cathedral and its cloister represent the largest concentration of Norman, Arab and Byzantine art in one place. The undisputed highlight of Monreale Cathedral is its richly mosaiced interior. Dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, the golden mosaics completely cover the walls of the nave, aisles, transept and apse.
Opening hours:
Temples of Hera, Concordia and Herakles: 8:30-19:00
Temple of Zeus, Sanctuary of Chtonian deities and Temple of Dioscuri: 9:00- 17:00
Tickets: 8 EUR/adult, 4 EUR/child
Combined tickets (Temples + Acheological Museum in San Nicola): 10 EUR/adult, 5 EUR/child
Duration: 2 hours
The archaeological area known as the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily, is one of the most important archeological sites in the world and a Unesco world heritage site since 1998. Along a long rocky scarp, chosen as the southern limit of the town, are still sited the great temples of ancient Akragas:the Temple of Hera (Juno) Lacinia, Concordia, Heracles (Hercules), Olympian Zeus (Jupiter), Castor and Pollux (Dioscuri) and Hephaistos (Vulcan). Further down, on the bank of the Akragas river, near a medical spring, stood the Temple dedicated to Asklepius (Eusculapius), the god of medicine. At the mouth of the river there was the harbour and emporion (trading-post) of the ancient city.
Vulcano tour: 50-60 EUR/person
Duration: 4 hours
Getting there: South Side - funicular from Rifugio Sapienza-Nicolosi (1900 m) to 2900 m, from there 4x4 jeep and 30 minutes walking to crater
Etna is the most majestic active volcano in Europe: all around the craters, the lava flows confirming the ceaseless activity of the volcano.
Today Etna, which dominates the entire province of Catania, looks like an enormous black cone (white in winter), visible from 250 km away.
TEATRO GRECO - panorama view for Mount Etna and Taormina
Opening hours: April-September 9:00-19:00, October-March 9:00-16:00
Tickets: 5 EUR/adult, free for children
But by far the most remarkable monument remaining at Taormina is the ancient theatre ("Greek theatre"), which is one of the most celebrated ruins in Sicily, on account both of its remarkable preservation and of the surpassing beauty of its situation. With a diameter of 109 metres (after an expansion in the 2nd century), this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily (after that of Syracuse); it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts.
Getting there: Hydrofoil (Ustica Lines)

As the domain of Aeolus, god of the winds, the Lipari Islands are a volcanic archipelago visible from Sicily's northern coast. The principal islands are Lipari, Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi, Stromboli, Panarea and Vulcano. Here you'll find beautiful scenery, volcanoes, castles, thermal resorts, water sports, good fishing and, of course, some great beaches. Geologically, these beautiful islands are quite rugged, with deep caverns, steep cliffs, and splendid views. The volcanoes of Stromboli and appropriately named Vulcano, erupt fairly frequently; Filicudi, Alicudi and Salina are without volcanic activity in historical memory.

The myelocyte stage follows when the promyelocyte cytoplasm becomes filled with numerous granules, which may hide the nucleus. Three types of myelocytes—called eosinophilic, basophilic, and neutrophilic for the dyes the granules take—are distinguished; these in turn give rise to leukocytes called, respectively, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils (qq.v.).

Well...we are at week THREE!
The weeks are FLYING.
Work has been insane with stupid Marines doing stupid things...like drinking and driving...drugs...and domestic violence.
It's just been really bad lately, so I've spent the week sitting in briefs and formations about these things.
I got to have my FIRST skype date last sunday with Nick!!!
I was so excited!
Check him out...
What a handsome guy, huh?
And Dannika and I went on our 4TH SUNDRIED TOMATO DATE!!!
I love how the staff ALL know us now, and everytime we leave, they always tell us, "See you next weekend!"
The weekly "table note" for Nick...it actually hasn't been a month yet, but we've been there 4 times since he's left, and to me...that's a month!!!!
This is the infamous "silly face" or "funny face" (whichever she feels like calling it)
I'm so glad that Nick joined us today. I was really starting to miss him.
I've kept up with my weekly care packages.
I've been working out the way I did before last November hit....crossfit, weights, elliptical...6 times a week, and on my rest day, I put Dannika in the jogging stroller and walk 6 miles.
I have not had any red meat since the boys left.
I had chicken once (at my friend's Scentsy party).
I feel great!
I have started inquiring about a custom closet makeover.
And Dannika has only had ONE accident in her big girl panties (she was potty trained the day before Nick left).
Next weekend, I am painting a wall in my house and doing this cool thing to my hallway that I saw on pinterest.
I get sad every once in a while cause I feel like I don't get to talk to Nick as much as some of the other wives (except for Becca...she's heard from her man the least out of everyone), but Dannika has been keeping me so busy, I don't have time to go into depression about it....lol.
I have yet to spend time with my girlfriends like I planned on.
Work has just been tiring me out.
Work, the Marine Corps, single motherhood, and everything else that comes with that.
Either way,
I am blessed beyond belief, and I never stop counting my blessings.
Hope everyone had a blessed week...
"If you don't love a Marine....Raise your standards!"
(a funny bumper sticker I saw)


text: DigitalNew Database Tracks History of Undercover ReportingBy Meranda Adams|August 8, 2012 ShareBy Meranda Adams|August 8, 2012 ShareFrom tales of tainted meat to racism to mistreatment of wounded soldiers, some of the stories that have rankled the establishment and raised public consciousness and concerns haven't come from straight news, on-the-record reporting. They've come from journalists who've gone undercover. Or as a new NYU database of undercover reporting dubs it, reporters who've engaged in "deception for journalism's sake."The database at undercoverreporting.org launched this week and chronicles undercover journalism from the 1800s to present day, with stories grouped by series and topic. The database — a collaboration between NYU journalism professor Brooke Kroeger and the university's libraries — lets users search by the writer, the publication, the topic or the type of method employed in the undercover work. Each entry includes not only references and when available links to the source material, but also a bit of the history on the impact of the work. The database covers a wide scope of story types and topics allowing visitors to drink deep or skim everything from working other people's jobs to living as another race to faking life as a patient in hospitals or asylums. It even includes a cluster of stories and critic's reaction about undercover reporting itself."Much of this material has long been buried in microfilm in individual libraries and thus very difficult to retrieve," Kroeger said in a press release announcing the database. "Most digitized newspaper archives do not go back past the 1980s or 1990s and even for those that do, it's difficult to search without exact details of the piece you are seeking." Kroger, who directed the project, wrote a book out this month based on the research she conducted, "Undercover Reporting: The Truth about Deception," in which she argues the often looked down upon practice has played a valuable role in journalism for the public good.There are several ways to browse the database. To be honest, it is a little clunky, but you can find stories happenstance with the curated collection of clusters on topics on the front page or the latest entries on the side of the page and the archives. You also can search for terms, individuals or topics you're interested in. The one thing I'd like to see added but couldn't quite put together or find would be a timeline of stories. I'd like to see an evolution of how, say, Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" (a work of fiction but based on real conditions) led to more recent tainted food exposés. Also, what periods of history saw a burst or resurgence of undercover work? It's hard to tell in a linear fashion from this collection. I haven't read the book (yet), so maybe it's easier to string together there.Nevertheless, as a student of both journalism and sociology, my favorite books involve reading the stories of people who've actually infiltrated or lived the life they write about. This database is a gold mine of those types of stories, several of which I've read (and are worth re-reading) and even more I'd never heard about but would like to read now. Definitely bookmark worthy. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kXSuaZ copy Adweek Adweek

LOS ANGELES (Sep. 22, 2014) — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce its return visit to Prague for The European Summit, running from September 22-25, at The Park Hotel Praha.
According to its promoters, The European Summit (TES) is Europe's leading B2B conference for the online entertainment industries, bringing together a diverse group of adult and digital media operators representing dozens of countries around the world for networking, seminars and socializing.
Longtime supporters of ASACP, The European Summit's producers have graciously provided the association with sponsor status; including two complimentary hotel rooms, show badges, premium banner placement, an ad in the event's show guide, an insert in its "swag bags," plus a banner in the supporter section of the TES homepage as well as other exposure on the event website and an exhibitor listing in TES' mobile event app.
To help further the association's international outreach efforts, ASACP's Executive Director, Tim Henning, along with its Director of European Outreach, Vince Charlton, will attend the event to meet with stakeholders and educate them about the necessity of protecting children on the Internet.
"At the crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe, The European Summit provides ASACP with a unique opportunity for reaching a wide range of digital media companies and services," Henning stated. "By explaining how ASACP tools, such as the Restricted To Adults (RTA) website labeling system, industry segment-specific Best Practices and a standardized Code of Ethics can help businesses protect themselves by protecting children, the association makes a difference in online child safety."
"The past year has been an eventful one for European businesses, with significant changes in the U.K. market and beyond," Charlton adds. "With the necessary education and resources to take a proactive stance, digital media companies can prepare themselves for a strong future — and ASACP is here to help."

In FBI probe, Rep. David Rivera's pal goes on lam, has computer seized
A key witness in a federal investigation involving U.S. Rep. David Rivera failed to show up for an interview with prosecutors and the FBI one day after agents raided her Miami apartment and removed her computer, cellphone and other items.
Ana Alliegro's whereabouts are a mystery — even to her lawyer.
"I still have not heard from my client. I have no idea where she is," attorney Mauricio Padilla said Saturday before noon. "I have not talked to Ana since Wednesday."
Prosecutors believe Alliegro played a key role as a go-between for Rivera and a former Democratic congressional candidate who might have broken campaign finance laws in his failed bid against a rival of the Republican congressman in the Aug. 14 primary.
Alliegro had been scheduled to testify Thursday before a federal grand jury in Fort Lauderdale, but Padilla worked out a deal to speak directly to lead prosecutor Thomas J. Mulvihill and two FBI agents.
According to Alliegro's family, Padilla and Alliegro met Wednesday to prepare for the meeting. But sources say that Alliegro and Rivera met later that day.
Padilla, her family said, was to pick her up since she had no car and a suspended license. But her mother called her lawyer to say her father would drive her.
"Everything is fine," said Alliegro's mother, Agueda "Guedy" Alliegro. "I haven't spoken to her, but she is OK."
Miami police said Saturday morning that no one has filed a missing person's report.
Guedy Alliegro said investigators had previously met with her daughter to serve her a federal subpoena and arrest her for a suspended driver's license.
"Who gets arrested for that?" she asked. "Ana is innocent. She really doesn't have anything to offer. She is being harassed for political interests."
The case definitely involves politics.
At issue: $46,000 in once-secret payments — many made with cash-stuffed envelopes — that candidate Justin Lamar Sternad used for mailers in his unsuccessful primary race against Joe Garcia, who now faces Rivera in the general election.
Sternad's campaign finance disclosure reports initially gave no indication that he had paid for the mailers. He later amended the reports amid the FBI probe.
Investigators have focused on Alliegro because she acted as Sternad's campaign manager. She may have first-hand knowledge of the source of the funds and whether Rivera was involved in funding the campaign of the political unknown, a part-time hotel worker.
The probe of Sternad and Rivera began last month after El Nuevo Herald and the Miami Herald reported Sternad may have violated federal campaign-finance laws by failing to disclose the expenditures or source of the funds on his Federal Election Commission reports.
The investigation — which involves a federal grand jury — picked up speed in recent weeks, with Rivera on the offensive, saying Herald reporters are in cahoots with Joe Garcia's campaign and that no one from law enforcement has talked to him. Agents have been collecting documents, interviewing witnesses across the region.
Sternad's pre-primary campaign report for the period ending July 25 showed he spent $11,262 for the entire campaign, of which $10,440 was for the state fee to qualify for the ballot in the newly drawn congressional District 26 primary race, which stretches from Kendall to Key West.
Yet Sternad sent out at least 11 professionally designed and printed mailers that targeted specific types of voters, according to campaign vendors.
Sternad refused to answer questions from Herald reporters about how the mailers were paid for. His attorney Enrique "Rick" Yabor declined comment.
Amid the newspaper reports and the launch of a federal probe, Sternad abruptly amended his financial disclosures after the primary to show he had loaned himself nearly $64,000. Before the primary, he reported lending himself about $11,000.
Still, the amended campaign finance reports raised more questions because they didn't indicate how he paid to print the mailers.
Sternad's financial disclosures give little indication he can afford the loans or the expenditures. He listed an income of just $30,000 last year and a one-third ownership of an estate trust fund that provided him no income. He reported the trust fund's maximum value as $100,000.
The incomplete campaign reports, financial documents and the fact that Sternad used a mail house — Rapid Mail & Computer Services — frequently employed by Rivera led Garcia's campaign to accuse Rivera of colluding in the Democratic campaign.
Rivera and Sternad denied that.
Rivera, however, told a Miami blogger that he referred Alliegro to a mail-targeting specialist. Initially, Rivera said he had no involvement in Sternad's campaign.
The owner of Rapid Mail, John Borrero, told The Herald and investigators that Sternad and Alliegro paid cash for the mailers except in one instance, when the campaign had a company called Expert Printing send him a $9,000 check.
In another instance, sources said, Rivera telephoned a secretary at Rapid Mail and directed her to walk outside to the company's mailbox and get an envelope. He told her to deliver it to Borrero. The envelope contained $7,800 to pay for a mailing.
Sternad's amended reports show he paid Expert Printing only $6,000. That's hardly enough to pay for the costs of the roughly 135,000 mailers in his race. One mailer bashed Garcia over his divorce.
The sophisticated operation garnered a surprisingly high vote for the political novice, 11 percent. Sternad came in third behind first-place Garcia and challenger Gloria Romero Roses.
Sternad's amended reports didn't list the specialist his campaign used to target voters — Campaign Data. The company's owner, Hugh Cochran, said Rivera was involved.
Cochran, a retired FBI agent, showed The Herald an email he sent to Rapid Mail and Rivera concerning the voter-targeting he performed at Rivera's request.
Rivera said it was "mistakenly" sent to him — which Cochran said was false.
Rivera has vehemently denied working with Sternad, referring the Herald to a previous written statement he issued on the matter.
"Congressman Rivera has never met or spoken to Mr. Sternad and knows absolutely nothing about him or his campaign," the statement said.

PHNOM PENH — In a union office for garment workers on the outskirts of the capital on a recent afternoon, Tith Srey Mom and her sister Mach were pondering what to do next. After losing a 10-year legal battle to keep their 200-square-meter plot of land, they were being evicted. All legal avenues had been exhausted. All they could do was wait for the police to come and forcibly remove them.
The sisters are from Chrolang Village, about 30 miles south of Phnom Penh. Tith Srey Mom's grandparents assumed control of their land in 1979 as the Khmer Rouge were retreating. The family tilled the patch of dirt for decades, growing rice to subsidize their meager incomes.
Then in 2002 the police arrived and told them to leave, claiming that the sisters no longer owned it. No one among the 32 families in Chrolang had ever heard of Tep Menon, but the police said he was now the owner of the plot. And so began the sisters' decade-long fight in the courts to keep their land.
Land grabbing — big and small — has become all too common in Cambodia. Protests and violent confrontations with the authorities have left a mounting death toll. Meanwhile, as more and more poor Cambodians are being dispossessed, many fear the end of the "communal rice bowl'' and traditional village life that once guaranteed food and a family home for all. With no more land to go home to, village life is being decimated.
All land titles, along with nearly a third of the population, were destroyed by Pol Pot's regime, and farmers moved swiftly to repopulate the land when the Khmer Rouge collapsed. Later, the Cambodian government recognized ownership of land occupied prior to 1989, when the Vietnamese occupation ended.
The land grabs can be traced back to 2001 when laws were passed that allowed the government to usurp any "private state land" and grant up to about 25,000 acres to companies and private individuals. The shady deals escalated sharply after 2008 as property prices soared and well-off businessmen, local and international companies took control of grants for development.
A spate of violence has been one result. This year alone a prominent anti-logging activist was murdered, a teenage girl was killed by the police during an eviction and 13 women were jailed, and later freed, for protesting against a concession that cost them their homes with little recompense. A journalist with a history of reporting on illegal logging and land grabs was found this month in the trunk of his car. He had been hacked to death.
Elections must be held by mid-2013, and land-grabbing has provided Prime Minister Hun Sen with his worst political headache. The issue will come to the fore at the annual donors meeting this week in Phnom Penh, at which Cambodia's benefactors decide how much to dole out to the Cambodian government and what conditions to attach. Made-up largely of Western nations and international institutions, donors routinely provide about one billion dollars a year, almost half the government's annual budget.
Nongovernmental organizations are urging donor countries to pressure the government to rein in its wayward authorities. The U.N.'s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said in its annual report that of particular concern was the increased use of force and live ammunition on people protesting the land grabs. "These instances of violence were predominantly unprovoked, and primarily related to land disputes," the report said.
This is cold comfort for Tith Srey Mom. She and her siblings have little choice but to take a menial job in a garment factory six days a week, working 8 to 12 hours a day for a minimum wage of about $90 a month, producing apparel for big-name brands.
Similar tales were told by Yong Eaon, a 41-year-old mother of three who is preparing a legal challenge after her neighbors — armed with knives and political connections — annexed a plot that she brought from her brother in 1997.
"They turned it into an access road,'' she said. "So, one daughter goes to work, makes garments. She can only send home $25 a month, but it helps and I will fight."

In a world where it seems no-one agrees on anything, a world where politics divides, religion divides, and race and even cultural borders seem to divide, dignity is something that everyone can agree on." Global Dignity Co-Founders
"Global Dignity is the brainchild of three friends, concerned global citizens who met as Young Global Leaders at the World Economic Forum: HRH Crown Prince Haakon (Norway), Professor Pekka Himanen (Finland) and founder of Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant (United States).
The three friends realized that the one thing that everyone in the world could agree on, irrespective of their differences is: We all want our Dignity to be recognized. Dignity is the very foundation of our humanity. Dignity is universal. Dignity is also the source of human rights.
The co-founders created Global Dignity in 2006. Since then they have worked with many Young Global Leaders and other partners in over 40 countries, hosting what are known as Dignity Days. This involves visiting local schools and communities around the world and teaching a "course in dignity" to youth." (This passage was found here on the Global Dignity home page).
This is the second year that Canada has participated in Global Dignity Day and Byrne Creek Secondary was privileged to be invited to participate this year. With students from more than 60 different countries, diversity is the norm and the school is always seeking ways to connect and unite people that come from a variety of different backgrounds.
The school hosted workshops the day before October 16, 2012 and the day of Global Dignity Day October 17, 2012 with keynote speakers and a teleconference with 12 sites in Canada and one site in Taiwan.
Keynotes for the interactive workshop were Christopher Logan and Orville Lee. Christopher Logan is a member of the Forum of Young Global Leaders, who was named as the city chair of Global Dignity, Hong Kong. He gave us the context of how Global Dignity Day started. We were very lucky to have him at Byrne Creek!
Orville Lee, former CFL player and SFU Alumni, was convincing as he described how he gained confidence and ultimately dignity as he grew up. He engaged our students with the story of coming to Canada from Jamaican as a young boy and emphasized how 'Your dignity is your destiny. " He encouraged everyone to reach out and ask those around you for guidance, and stressed that when people see you working so hard to be a better person and achieve, they will work with you towards success so you don't have to do this alone. Orville Lee explained how he found his individual dignity and respect through sport. He had a very successful football career and when he retired, he and his wife Ruth Lee started the Pathfinder Youth Society to help vulnerable youth transition.
Students and staff were very excited to have the opportunity to hear the keynotes stories! The message from both was powerful: each of us, in the everyday actions/choices that we make, help shape our world. Living with dignity and promoting a world filled with dignity depends on the simple fact that we all make choices each day that shape our world. The little things that we do, the everyday actions that all people are capable of, influence the world that we live in.
Students worked on their own stories of dignity, sharing them within this school community of peers and then wrote their stories and set a goal to commit to an action that promotes dignity in their world.
We learned that the conversation about what dignity means to each person can vary, but that finding that one exact definition is not the point. It is about creating the space and time to have these important conversations and work together to create a world filled global citizens that understand the importance and rights for all to live with dignity.
Thank you to all of our Byrne Creek partners, teachers and students for making this a successful event. Thank you so very much to our speakers for becoming an important part of Byrne Creek's story. And a special thank you to Senator Yonah Martin for inviting us to participate and for being such a fantastic role model for living one's life with Dignity.
Byrne Creek is a school that leads with HEART (Honestly, Empathy, Acheivement, Respect and Teamwork). Last year the school received the ASCD's Vision in Action: Whole Child Award recognizing the staff's unique work remaining adaptive and flexible in educational programming initiatives that support the whole child's development (academic and social emotional). Byrne Creek is look forward to Global Dignity Day next year! We have a Centre for Dialogue videoconference facility and are hoping to find a "Buddy" school to share in our discussion. If you are interested please let us know!

The Ohio State offense defeated the Buckeye defense 59-56 Saturday in the jersey scrimmage in Ohio Stadium. The win allows the offense to continue to wear the coveted scarlet jerseys during fall practice.
With the score tied at 51-all, freshman quarterback Robbie Schoenhoft connected with sophomore flanker Devon Lyons from 39 yards out on what turned out to be the winning score.
The Buckeye defense had two more chances to win the game, but could not come up with enough points to take the lead on either of the Scarlet's final two possessions.
Schoenhoft, a true freshman from Cincinnati St. Xavier, completed 13 of 21 passes for 137 yards, including a 28-yard TD pass to sophomore Ted Ginn Jr.
Lyons, from North Braddock, Pa., led all receivers with nine catches for 108 yards. Ginn finished with three catches and linebacker-turned-fullback Brandon Smith had two.
Redshirt freshman Erik Haw was the leading rusher for the offense with 37 yards on nine carries, one more yard than senior Brandon Schnittker had on the same number of attempts.
Sophomore Antonio Pittman of Akron carried the ball 10 times for 26 yards and true freshman Maurice Wells, a product of Jacksonville, Fla., finished with 33 yards on nine carries.
Junior quarterback Troy Smith had a 31-yard run and recorded the only rushing touchdown of the day on a short-yardage dive. Smith also completed eight-of 13 passes for 74 yards.
Redshirt freshman Todd Boeckman took the majority of snaps with the first offense and completed nine of his 18 passes for 46 yards.
The Buckeye defense recorded eight sacks, blocked a punt and had a 35-yard interception return by Donte Whitner.
With temperatures approaching the 90s, the Buckeyes still ran nearly 150 plays.
"I was impressed with our effort," Coach Jim Tressel said afterwards. "We played hard and made some big plays, and I thought we were playing just as hard at the end as we were in the beginning. That shows me we are in good shape."
Senior Josh Huston nailed a pair of field goals and freshman Ryan Pretorius connected on a 55-yard try.
The Buckeyes are off Sunday, but return to practice Monday.

|Armstrong House known as Hedgeland
Hundred (and MCH-adjacent) history. This particular item is the photo you see here, sent to me a little while back by a descendant of the family in question (as well as several other families oft-mentioned in the blog), Nancy Lynam. Although the house did not technically stand within the boundaries of Mill Creek Hundred, it was featured in a post detailing the familial holdings of the Armstrong clan, located in western Christiana Hundred. And though the house was lost long ago, it stood in a prominent location, one I'm sure many of you have passed countless times (perhaps some of you on your way in to work every day).
The beautiful five-bay, two and a half story, fieldstone home shown here was the house known as Hedgeland, or The Hedge. It was located on the east side of Centre Road (Rt. 141), just north of Faulkland Road. The segment of the 1881 map below shows the estate. The house itself, as best as I can determine from historical aerial photographs, stood right about where the flag pole is today, at the South 141 entrance to DuPont's Chestnut Run Plaza. This part is even more iffy, but it appears that the house faced south, perpendicular to 141 and facing down towards Faulkland Road. The blue rectangle in the bottom, modern photo indicates approximately where the house stood.
|1881 map showing R. L. Armstrong's Hedgeland
|Blue rectangle indicates location of the Hedgeland House
The only clue as to the age of the house comes to us from Runk, in the entry about Robert L. Armstrong. As an Armstrong estate, The Hedge dates back at least to the time of Robert Armstrong (1743-1821). Known as "The Patriot" for his participation in the Revolutionary War, Robert's home was called "The Hedge" by name. It's unclear, but very possible, that he may have been the second or third generation of his family to live on this particular farm.
After Robert the Patriot, Hedgeland passed to his son, also named Robert (1782-1838). This Robert fought for his country as well, he in the War of 1812. The younger Robert married Elizabeth Mehaffy of Cecil County, MD, with whom he had six children. The youngest child, Robert Louis Armstrong (1834-1909), was born only four years before his father's death. Nothing is really stated specifically about any earlier houses, but it's very possible (if not likely) that Robert L. grew up in a home that dated back to his grandfather's time, if not earlier. It may well have been a log home, although considering the family's stature it probably had been enlarged over the years.
What we do know, though, is that after attending local public schools and spending three years at a boarding school in Wilmington, Robert returned to Hedgeland to take over its operation. Since his father's death, the farm had been overseen by his mother, who is shown on the 1849 map as the owner (as E. Armstrong). By the time Robert took over the property in the mid-1850's, the existing house may have been over 100 years old. As Runk tells us, Robert soon went about making improvements to the property, including a large barn and (more importantly to us right now) "a large stone dwelling house." This is the house we see in the photograph.
|Back of the Hedgeland photograph
Now we can move on to the final part of the picture -- the people. To try to guess who might be in the photo, we need to have an idea of when it was taken. The reverse side of the picture, shown above, helps to narrow that down. Anyone interested in historical photography is welcome to look into Pennellographs, but the short version is that it was a method of slightly colorizing photographs of the time. What's more helpful to us right now is that there are dates on the back, up to 1877. This likely places our photo sometime soon after that.
So, if we assume the picture was taken around 1878 or so, who would have been in it? I think it's safe to assume that the man sitting near the center is Robert Louis. The woman sitting to the right of him (his left) appears to me to be an older woman. Assuming the photograph was taken prior to December 1884, this is probably his mother, Elizabeth Armstrong. One of the other women (maybe the one sitting towards the left?) has to be his wife, Rebecca. The 1880 Census shows that Robert's older sisters Ann and Amanda (58 and 50 in 1880, respectively) resided with them, so they are almost certainly two of the other women. Also in the household in 1880 were Elizabeth and R.W. (Roland Ward) Springer, Robert's niece and nephew. Although misidentified in the census (thank you Rich Morrison for clearing that up for me), they were the children of his sister, Rachel and her husband Joseph W. Springer. These two twenty-somethings could be in the picture as well.
We may never know for sure the identities of everyone on the porch that day, but the photograph is a wonderful (and possibly unique) record of a lost piece of local history. Thank you again, Nancy, for sharing it with us.

Biological Irradiation Facility
Biological Irradiation Facility is existing at the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC) in order to provide reliable platform for biological irradiation studies. The physical properties of the facility is described below.
The channel lock consists of 3 steel and heavy-concrete segments turnable by an excentrical axis to open and close the channel. There is an internal remotely controlled filter holder at a distance of 262 cm from the core which has six windows with the following materials: four Bi disks of 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm thick and one Pb disk of 20 cm, the 6th one is an open hole. At the orifice of the beam tube two cylindrical tanks were constructed of alumina to serve as a water shutter and its emergency water storage, respectively. The water can be pumped up from and released to a larger buffer tank located outside of the reactor shielding block by pressurized air. The construction materials inside the beam tube work as internal, not removable filters with total thickness of 18 mm Pb and 15 mm Al.
The irradiation cavity is situated outside of the shielding block of the reactor in a distance of 1400 mm, thus its surface-to-reactor core distance is 3100 mm including the exchangeable core window (65 mm) made either of beryllium (rolling as the fast neutron reflector, too) or of aluminum. The use of the aluminum window results in a hard neutron spectrum. Between the shielding surface of the reactor and the cavity there is a borated water shielded collimator with a useful diameter of 10 cm. It is possible to use this collimator as a holder for outer filters of about 800 mm length. Presently, filters of plexi-glass, polyethylene, iron, aluminum and lead are available to decrease the gamma and neutron intensity or to modify the neutron spectrum and the neutron-to-gamma ratio. There are two changeable filter disks of boron-carbide working as thermal and epithermal absorbers. The collimator is movable on a rail. The samples to be irradiated can be rotated to achieve a uniform, homogeneous irradiation. Cadmium or Boron carbide filters are used, if required, for decreasing the thermal neutron contribution.
Three levels of the dosimetry system were developed: real time, active beam monitors; passive activation, track-etch and TL detectors and computer codes for spectrum and dose calculations. Each exposure is individually planned and continuously monitored during the procedure. Some typical dose and flux values are presented in 1. Table and the schematic view of the system is presented in 1. Figure.
The irradiation facility is applicable to study the effects of the neutron and gamma radiation and high dose rate on the living animals, cells, etc.

Obama Makes Bush His Blame Czar. You know, he has a point - we've been hearing for months now "He did it!" from Obama on all sorts of issues.
Steyn begins his piece writing about "Barack's Rock," Valerie Jarrett:
Valerie Jarrett announced the other day that "we're going to speak truth to power."
Who's Valerie Jarrett? She's "Senior Adviser" to the president of the United States – i.e., the leader of the most powerful nation on the face of the Earth. You would think the most powerful man in the most powerful nation would find a hard job finding anyone on the planet to "speak truth to power" to. But I suppose if you're as eager to do so as his Senior Adviser, there's always somebody out there: The Supreme Leader of Iran. The Prime Minister of Belgium. The Deputy Tourism Minister of the Solomon Islands. But no. The Senior Adviser has selected targets closer to home: "I think that what the administration has said very clearly is that we're going to speak truth to power. When we saw all of the distortions in the course of the summer, when people were coming down to town hall meetings and putting up signs that were scaring seniors to death."
Ah, right. People "putting up signs." Can't have that, can we? The most powerful woman in the inner circle of the most powerful man on Earth has decided to speak truth to powerful people standing in the street with handwritten placards saying "THIS GRAN'MA ISN'T SHOVEL READY." Was it only a week ago that I wrote about this administration's peculiar need for domestic enemies?
The Senior Adviser seems to have forgotten that she is the power. Admittedly, this is a recurring lapse on the part of the administration. There was Barack Obama only the other day, blaming everything on the president – no, no, silly, not him, the other fellow, the Designated Fall Guy who stepped down as head of state in January to accept the new constitutional position of Blame Czar. Musing on problems in Afghanistan, Obama blamed the "long years of drift" under his predecessor. The new president – OK, newish president – has been Drifter-in-Chief for almost a year but he's too busy speaking truth to the former power to get on top of the situation. It could be a while yet. In his more self-regarding moments, such as his speech to the United Nations, he gives the strong impression that the "long years of drift" began in 1776.
Indeed, Ms. Jarrett thinks throwing around phrases pulled from those who are actually in the trenches will give her some street cred. You don't think anyone fell for that hooey, do you? Just in case you know anyone who did, you can tell them that she is a lawyer, married to a doctor, and was on the Chicago Stock Exchange. So, yeah, not exactly a career in the Peace Corps., or hell, even AmeriCorps. Just more posturing on the part of the Obama Administration.
Just like Obama's blame shifting. Just more posturing to protect his carefully crafted image:
Rocco Landesman, head honcho at the National Endowment for the Arts, seems closer to the reality of the situation. In his keynote address to the 2009 "Grantmakers in the Arts" conference, Landesman hailed Obama as "the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar". He didn't mean a "powerful writer" as in a compelling voice, gripping narrative, vivid characterization, command of language, etc. He meant a "powerful writer" as in Caesar was king of the world, and now Obama is. He came, he saw, he stimulated: "If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists."
I suppose so. He could invade somewhere and force the natives to accept degrading roles in NEA-funded performance art. He could take out the Iranian nuclear program by carpet-bombing it with unreadable literary novels. That is, if you "accept the premise" that the United States is the most powerful country in the world. Rocco Landesman may, but it's not clear, from his actions (or inactions) in Eastern Europe, Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere, that the president does. But, even so, it seems an odd pitch to "American artists." Rocco Landesman, Speaking Goof to Power, isn't the first Obama groupie to enjoy the kinky frisson of groveling obsequiousness, but he's set an impressive new standard in public revelation thereof. Rocco's aunt, Fran Landesman, is the great lyricist of "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most" as well as "The Ballad Of The Sad Young Men." But surely there are few sadder middle-age men than her nephew, prostrating himself before his master as the most literate global colossus in two millennia.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that, but I take his point. Still, there are a whole bunch of sad "middle-age men" who would fit that bill. Chris Matthews springs immediately to mind.
Speaking of the NEA:
Meanwhile, Larry David is now doing televised NEA exhibits on his HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Christians are said to be "angry" at him because of an episode in which, after he accidentally sprays his urine on a picture of Jesus, his assistant mistakes the droplets for tears and calls in her mother to witness the miracle of Christ weeping. Ha-ha! Oh, those brave transgressive artists! Of course, Christians aren't "angry" in the sense that two U.S. residents arrested last week are. The pair – one an American citizen, the other Canadian – were so "angry" about the Muhammad cartoons published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten that they hatched a plot to kill the artist and his editor. As many commentators pointed out, Mr. David's splashy stunt is a dreary provocation: It's easy to be provocative with people who can't be provoked. If he were to start urinating in a more Mecca-ly direction, he'd find an entirely more motivated crowd waiting for him at the stage door.
But I liked the point made by the Anchoress, a writer at the magazine First Things: Putting Muhammad, et al aside, if Larry David had a yen to urinate hither and yon, wouldn't it have been "braver" to have done it to the religious icon du jour? That's to say, Barack Obama. And then maybe Ashton Kutcher could have marveled at how even Obama's image was empathizing tearily with all 687 million Americans without health insurance. Or, alternatively, dribbling warm champagne from his Norwegian Nobel banquet toast. C'mon, Larry. Sure, you might not have a career afterward, but, unlike any Islamo-provocations, you're not gonna get killed. Just fired, and probably damned as a racist. But at least you wouldn't be a simpering suck-up to power like Rocco Landesman and the other creeps.
"Religious icon du jour" - priceless. I mean, c'mon, obviously he is - just check out that Chia commercial. And I wouldn't hold my breath on the end of sucking-up, but that's just me:
At some point the Caesar cult has to manifest itself in an achievement – I mean a real achievement, not merely some dud prize handed out by Norwegian Lefties. Afghanistan is his now: Notwithstanding "years of drift," whether it winds up as victory or defeat is his call. It's Obama's war. It's Obama's economy. The stimulus bill is his stimulus, and for $787 billion it created 30,000 new jobs (according to the government) or (according to the Associated Press) 25,000. Either way, you do the math. It's Obama's unemployment rate, Obama's dollar, Obama's debt. Pace Valerie Jarrett, the truth is you are the power. And those on the receiving end of it are going to be speaking a lot louder in the months ahead.
Yep, it surely is all Obama's now. And not for nothing, but it isn't like the Drmocrats didn't control both houses for two years before Obama got into the White House. There is a lot for which Bush is responsible, but at some point, Obama needs to stop making him the Blame Czar, and start doing his job.

J.K. Rowling
For J.K. Rowling, writing is her greatest pleasure. She wrote her first book (still unpublished) at the
age of six. J.K. Rowling got the idea for the Harry Potter books while ona train from Manchester to London. When she began
writing the first Harry Potter book in a cafe in Edinburgh, Scotland, Rowling was on welfare with an infant daughter. Helped
by by a grant from the Scottish Arts Council, Rowling took five years to finish, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.During
that time she was also planning the six sequels, one for each of Harry's year at Hogwarts.
Rowling is a graduate of Exeter University and a former teacher. In addition to the British Isles, she also
lived in Portugal. Her favorite holiday is halloween,whan she holds a big party for her friends and their children.

A counter rotating coaxial main rotor does not require an anti-torque device as the upper and lower rotor's collective pitch are rigged such that the driving torques are equal and opposite. Because the coaxial rotor does not require an anti-torque device such as a tail rotor, Fenestron, or Notar, a coaxial rotor helicopter requires about 10% less power than a single rotor/tail rotor helicopter.
In addition to the power saved by eliminating the anti-torque device, a coaxial rotor requires less power due to favorable interaction of the upper and lower rotor wakes. The coaxial rotor's reduced power required relative to other rotor configurations can be used in several ways:
For the same rotor diameter and power the coax will lift approximately 11% more weight (9% net of weight empty increase). This equates to 30% greater useful load, which means more payload or fuel. The coax helicopter can hover at a 6000 ft higher altitude, or at a higher temperature.
- The diameter of the coax rotor can be reduced by up to 15% to reduce rotor and drive system weight resulting in a lower total aircraft weight.
- The diameter can be reduced by something less than 15% to both reduce weight and increase hover capability.

Consumption and Its Consequences
Consumption and Its Consequences
ISBN: 978-0-745-66107-0 August 2012 Polity 200 Pages
Miller responds to these questions by proposing feasible and, where possible, currently available alternatives, drawn mainly from his own original ethnographic research. Here you will find shopping analysed as a technology of love, clothing that sidesteps politics in tackling issues of immigration. There is an alternative theory of value that does not assume the economy is intelligent, scientific, moral or immoral. We see Coca-Cola as an example of localization, not globalization. We learn why the response to climate change will work only when we reverse our assumptions about the impact of consumption on citizens. Given the evidence that consumption is now central to the way we create and maintain our core values and relationships, the conclusions differ dramatically from conventional and accepted views as to its consequences for humanity and the planet.

Times Higher Education book of the week
"A profound contribution to debates about the limits, contradictions and alternatives to contemporary styles of living, working and provisioning."
"A tremendously valuable contribution to establishing the understanding of consumption as one of the central interests of contemporary anthropological studies."
Anthropological Notebooks
"There are some curious moments in this book but, at its core, there's a very important observation - people aren't mindless drones who buy whatever the advertising agencies tell them to buy. Sometimes we act that way because we want to keep up with the Joneses but, from time to time, the objects we put in our shopping baskets reflect our ethical and social values and play a part in sustaining our most cherished relationships."
Geographical book of the month
"This engagingly written book addresses some of the central dilemmas of contemporary global society: how to sustain a developed-world, consumerist lifestyle in the face of wrenching economic shifts and accelerating climate change. The topic is urgent, the prescriptions for change coming from academic and policy leaders, paltry. Miller makes the conversation more interesting, more lively, and more honest about the limits of the theoretical perspectives mustered thus far to address these issues."
Bill Maurer, Professor of Anthropology and Law, University of California, Irvine
- A new book by one of the world's leading anthropologists and a leading figure in the study of material culture.
- Brings together Miller's key writings on consumption, consumer capitalism and related topics.
- The sequel to Miller's highly successful Stuff.
- This book will be of great interest for students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and cultural studies as well as the interested general reader.

I will tell you my own story here.
About me - I am a B.Tech Second year, Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate student at the prestigious IIT Bombay - a place where many aspire to go, but only some get through.
Well, just like you or any other student, I was also in the same place 2 years back - JEE on the head! Back to back exams - Boards, Olympiads, JEE Main, JEE Advanced, BITSAT and what not!
We as the quote suggests, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
I was a very average student in school - just to tell you, I got 23rd rank in school in class 6th. I was not a topper until class 9th.
But I had faith in myself - I knew that I can do anything I want - I knew my potential.
I was not at all "born intelligent by birth". I don't have a super high IQ or a super huge memory. I am just an average student just like anyone else.
Now that must be bothering you - JEE 2013 AIR 33 saying that he is an average student! How come ???
Well, then let me tell you about myself.
I spend hours and hours studying a topic. It takes me approximately twice the amount of time to learn something which someone else can do in a small amount of time.
Well, you might think that's weird, but really, it was the case that I had to spend endless time to learn something which my friends did quickly!
So what to do now ?
Talent seems to be failing here right ?
Work hard ...
Hard Work beats talent when talent doesn't work hardIts really true.
I have seen it and experienced it. What I am today is not because of any inborn talent, but solely because of my hard work, commitment, dedication and patience.
For a JEE aspirant, getting a rank in top 50 is a dream come true.
I managed to fulfill my dreams solely with my hard work.
Even here in IIT Bombay, I have seen super intelligent people - who can understand absolutely anything in a single shot!
On the other hand, it takes me hours to figure out what's happening!
But, in the end, we are all level. Why ?
Hard Work beats talent when talent doesn't work hardSo, go ahead, dream big, achieve big, and most importantly, work really hard!
All the best for JEE Main
