Family Abduction Laws, Federal Laws on Family Child Abduction, International Parental Child Abduction, International Parental Kidnapping
Pressing Criminal Charges
International parental child abduction is a crime in every State and the District of Columbia under specified circumstances. International parental child abduction is also a federal crime under the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act (IPKCA).
Your Decision to Use Criminal Charges
Your decision about whether to pursue criminal charges against the taking parent is a difficult one that should be made through consultation with your legal representative and in consideration of its potential impact on other aspects of your efforts to secure your child's return. The Office of Children's Issues can provide information about U.S. laws that make parental abduction a crime, resources for how to pursue a criminal warrant, and observations about some of the potential consequences of such an action based on knowledge of the laws and/or practices in the country to which your child has been abducted. We cannot, however, recommend a specific course of action or guarantee a specific outcome.
Depending on the circumstances, criminal charges filed against the taking parent can either help or hinder the successful return of your child. Therefore, it is important to weigh the pros and cons carefully and to obtain legal advice from an attorney before making the decision that you believe is best for your child. The purpose of a criminal warrant is to authorize law enforcement officials to apprehend and present the taking parent for prosecution. Your child is not subject to the warrant, which means that successful apprehension of the taking parent will not necessarily result in the return of your child. It can, however, serve as a negotiation tool since the taking parent may agree to voluntarily return the child in exchange for leniency or dropped charges.
The existence of criminal charges may also negatively impact a foreign court's decision about whether to order or deny your child's return under the Hague Abduction Convention. Although the Hague Abduction Convention pertains to children, not to their taking parents, in practice many judges are reluctant to order a return if the taking parent cannot accompany the child back to the United States. If the judge hearing the Hague Abduction Convention case is aware the taking parent faces arrest upon arrival, the judge may deny the return or order it only if the criminal charges are dropped. While you may request withdrawal of criminal charges against the taking parent, only the entity which issued the charges and/or a judge has the authority do so and may not agree to your request.
You will need to consider your goals and the implications criminal charges may have for you and your child. The prosecutor, the laws of the country where your child is located, and the taking parent's behavior will all have an effect on how successful criminal charges are in securing your child's return. Understanding these considerations may help you predict whether criminal charges can be an effective option for you and your child.
Pros and Cons of Pressing Criminal Charges
The process of filing criminal charges may help you locate your child.
A criminal charge will potentially facilitate cooperation from foreign law enforcement authorities by authorizing issuance of an INTERPOL red notice.
If the taking parent is a U.S. citizen, criminal warrants can serve as justification to revoke his or her passport, thus limiting subsequent international travel and potentially creating obstacles for his or her ability to remain legally in a foreign country.
Public awareness of the successful prosecution of a taking parent may deter others from abducting their children.
An outstanding criminal charge may deter a voluntary or negotiated return if a taking parent believes that he or she may be arrested when they return to the United States.
Criminal charges may adversely affect Hague return proceedings. Some judges may refuse to order a child's return if there is a warrant for the taking parent's arrest.
Criminal charges may encourage a taking parent to go deeper into hiding to avoid arrest. This is especially true when the taking parent has family or deep ties to the community.
The arrest, prosecution, and incarceration of the taking parent could be emotionally damaging for the child.
The goals of the criminal justice system to arrest a taking parent may be in conflict with your wishes, and once initiated, the prosecutor has control of any and all criminal proceedings. How these proceedings develop will be out of your hands.
Begin by Contacting Law Enforcement
When your child is missing you should immediately report the abduction to law enforcement. Law Enforcement should respond immediately, and enter your child into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Missing Person Database. The initial response from law enforcement could determine whether or not a child is quickly and safely recovered.
Entering your child into NCIC does not automatically initiate criminal proceedings against the taking parent. It is best to consult with an attorney before you decide to pursue criminal charges. Depending on your State laws, law enforcement may require that you have a custody order, before seeking criminal warrants.
HELPFUL HINT: We recommend that you keep a record of all your correspondence with all parties you interact with, including law enforcement. Note as well the names of the people you speak to, the dates and times of the conversations, and the information provided.
Your Local Police: Most international abductions are first reported to your local police. If they pursue warrants, your local police (in coordination with the local prosecutor) may seek issuance of a warrant based on your state's criminal parental kidnapping laws. You may also want to arrange to meet with your local prosecutor's office to understand law enforcement's considerations for moving forward, and to advocate for your case.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI): You may also report your case directly to the FBI at the field office nearest your home. If possible, you should also consider meeting with the Assistant U.S. Attorney to discuss the possibility of pursuing federal criminal charges against the taking parent. The FBI may decide to treat the abduction as a felony under the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act. Visit their website for more information.
HELPFUL HINT: Many law enforcement professionals have limited experience with parental child abduction cases and specifically, with procedures in international parental abduction cases. The Office of Children's Issues can provide resources and communicate with law enforcement officials about the federal laws that will authorize them to assist you.
Criminal Warrants
Coordinated Effort: Successful resolution of international parental child abduction cases through use of criminal charges required a coordinated effort among federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities. In some cases, U.S. law enforcement will also enlist the help of Interpol and foreign law enforcement authorities to carry out an investigation.
Foreign Police, Customs, and Laws: Be aware that parental abduction is not a crime in most countries, and this can hinder efforts to prosecute a taking parent. Other factors that may obstruct the process are local customs as they relate to religion, gender, nationality, and other factors.
Foreign Criminal Charges: You should always consult an attorney in the foreign country if you intend to pursue foreign criminal charges against the taking parent. In some countries, you may be able to pursue the prosecution of the taking parent by the authorities of the country where the child is found. In many countries, citizens can be prosecuted for crimes committed abroad if the act is a criminal offense under local law; however, parental abduction is rarely considered a crime outside of the United States.

Funding programmes for Clubs
The FIA Grant Programme encourages Clubs to submit concrete and sustainable projects developing their activities in different areas.
In recent years, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile has strengthened cooperation with motoring and sporting member Clubs. Programmes subsequently introduced have positively impacted on Clubs and their activities, from raising service standards to the development of sustainable projects and enhanced services in the mobility sector, as well as in motorised sports.
Founded in 2012, the Grant Programme awarded to date over 3 700 000 € in support of the Road Safety Projects all over the world. The FIA Road Safety Grant Programme received 426 applications from over 110 Clubs from 90 countries in all four FIA Regions. Over 180 innovative road safety initiatives have been started in over 60 countries: awareness campaigns, educational programs and trainings, vulnerable road users' protection, conferences, events and workshops, road infrastructure safety information and vehicle inspection programs.
In May 2011 the United Nations launched the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety. The project's goal is to save five million lives and reduce road-related injuries by 50 million worldwide over the next 10 years. To support this landmark project, the FIA created the Action for Road Safety Programme to support the UN programme through its global network of motoring and touring clubs and its involvement with motor sports. The FIA Foundation welcomed this initiative and agreed to fund the FIA Strategic Road Safety Programme with an endowment of 1 million EUR per annum.
The application process for 2016 will open in July 2015.

My fave is the passionate kiss :)

Will I buy again? maybe! but 4g, they are just too small wouldn't last long and I also don't really like the smell.

Here is a very good article to explain why renewable energy will not power the future. Just read it to see how our government has been fooled into spending billions of pounds just to make a very expensive gesture to appease the green fanatics. It's time the public were told the truth so they can talk to the politicians, but the TV companies would never broadcast this truth. They would rather continue the deception and feel good about themselves.

Lugosi Rises Above Another Abysmal Movie
Edward Garea | Branchville, New Jersey United States | 02/14/2003
(3 out of 5 stars)
""Black Dragons" is a film that, as most Bela Lugosi fans know, was made for Sam Katzman and his Banner Productions, and then released by Monogram Pictures. So forget about plot; plot in a Katzman flick is only incidental to the shoddy sets, direction, and acting. The truth be told, this is one of those pictures that, if it didn't have a Lugosi, would not have been made. OK, here's the plot . . . and don't ask me to repeat it: Seems a group of prominent American businessmen are being slain. We also know that it is Lusosi doing the slaying, because it's revealed very early on in the film as to what he's up to. Now, here's the twist. The American businessmen are really Japanese, having been trtansformed by none other than Dr. Lugosi, in this picture a Nazi Evil Scientist (Boo!) and sent here as a fifth column.It immediately strikes our sense of logic that it would be far easier just to send over a geoup of Germans or Italians than go to all the trouble of changing a person's race. But this is a Katzman flick, so logic is the first thing a viewer leaves behind when entering. Of course Lugosi is caught (by a pre-Lone Ranger Clayton Moore), thus getting his at the end. It is amazing to me that no matter how ridiculous the plot, Lugosi remains solidly professional rather than go down the chute with the movie. One reason why I become angry when someone tries to tell me that he was a bad actor.If this picture were set in today's age, Lugosi would do quite well as a dream-come true to Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers, among others.The quality of the film is dark and murky - apparently no effort was made to clean things up, but you can't go wrong for the price, especially if you are a fan of the genre or Lugosi. Perhaps the film will resurface in Bela Junior's restored series of his father's films. I certainly hope so."
Colorized Black Dragons.
Doghouse King | Omaha, NE United States | 05/05/2001
(2 out of 5 stars)
"No movie with Bela Lugosi in it can be a total bore, but this one comes too close. It deals with a Nazi doctor performing surgery on Japanese spies to make them pass as Americans. This is done to ease their schemes at sabotaging our war effort. It is a cheap movie, a slow movie, but would not even suffer too much for these flaws if it did not also rely on a long and awkward flashback sequence near the end, snuffing out what suspense had been built. The quality of the tape is not bad, but either you like colorized movies or you don't. This reviewer does not. Die-hard Lugosi fans (are there any other kind?) may want to purchase Black Dragons, but others will find it too ... ehh."
Wartime Horrors With Bela Lugosi
Scott T. Rivers | Los Angeles, CA USA | 12/21/2009
(2 out of 5 stars)
""Black Dragons" (1942) mixes a few chills with its bizarre World War II espionage. The results are somewhat dull, but Bela Lugosi helps enliven the proceedings as the sinister plastic surgeon who has a few surprises in store for Japan's Black Dragon Society. A pre-Lone Ranger Clayton Moore plays the disgruntled romantic hero. Ideal for nighttime viewing, with a lurid twist ending. Another Monogram quickie from producer Sam Katzman."
Murder Mystery in Wartime
Acute Observer | Jersey Shore USA | 12/09/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)
"The film shows Washington and the Capitol. [The legislature was considered more important than the Executive Mansion.] A newspaper headline states "Japs Bomb Honolulu". Businessmen talk about building an ammunition dump near the dam. Others talk about sensitive topics. Is there Fifth Column activity going on? Films show fires and as sinking ship. Why are those businessmen so cynical? A stranger calls on Dr. Sanders at home. What happened? A body is found on the steps of the closed Japanese Embassy. What happened? An investigator arrives to gather information. Uncle Bill's niece Miss Alice arrived too. A man arrives to get information, but fails. "He was sound as a dollar." [That's when dollars were made of silver.] What will the visitors find in Mr. Walter's hotel room? A Japanese dagger?
Van Dyke and Ryder return to Dr. Sanders, who gives advice to handle a problem. But they neutralize each other. [Neat, but not believable.] Miss Alice goes to investigate. They find nothing! A body in the cellar shows a lack of proper housekeeping. Two bodies are left on the Japanese Embassy steps. [No anti-littering laws?] Dick will go to see banker Handlin. The butler has disappeared too. Dick Martin brings Handlin back to Washington. There is a shot and the truth finally comes out. Can you believe this Grand Impersonation? [I can't.] What is the fitting reward for the good doctor? Will this Spy Ring be smashed?
The idea behind this film could have been much better with a proper scritpt and bigger budget. It is no secret that many industrialists had fascist sympathies (kept hidden during the war). That "Black Dragon Society" really existed in Japan.
[Does the interior of that house remind you of some other films?]

My earliest recollection of when I started recognizing such attitude was at home as a teenager. We had neighbors who were from a southern part of Kerala and they had an infant son who like regular children his age would babble short sentences and reply to totally ridiculous questions that elders often ask children, like "Where is your nose?". The problem is that he spoke a different version of Malayalam. On a few occasions I found my mom talk about this to other Palghat Malayalee women and laugh about it. All this ridicule happened because the child was growing up learning his native dialect. I forced my mom from correcting him and over the years she has given up this behavior. Incidentally as I grew older and reached college I realized that the Malayalam spoken by people in Palghat is far worse with its mixture of Tamil words and a completely off-key accent as opposed to the majority.
Let's face it, no one is unique and people who respect this are ones I now appreciate. In this regard, the one area I see people extremely touchy about is in the area of food habits. I know people who pack precooked, ready to eat Indian dishes on journeys abroad because they just can't adjust to anything else but their ethnic cuisine. This mindset often stems from the belief that all other dishes are paper mash in comparison to their own. I had a tough time in
I had read an article in the Hindu many years ago regarding the evolution of Indian cuisine, and thanks to the net I was able to locate them. (I have provided links to the same at the end of this blog). The articles are with references to the books written by the late Dr. K. Thammu Achaya once a leading food and nutrition expert. I wouldn't want to repeat what is written there, but he goes on to clarify how things we think are unique and Indian are not Indian at all. Here is a teaser for you – Did you know IDLY is not Indian? Rajma Chawal? Rajma is not Indian, hell rice is believed to have been brought in from
I love travelling. I love travelling to places that are not on the radars of regular tourists and so last September I travelled to the land of horses in Central Asia –
Samosa is not Indian. So the next time you see someone who boasts about his Indian inheritance try taking time off to burst his bubble for today in the global village that we live in, he could prove to be an embarrassment.

Yui starts to reminisce about her time as a cadet in the Imperial Army. When she comes too she's surrounded by BETAs and she apologizes to everyone and her father for not being able to carry out her mission. Yuuya suddenly appears and picks off all of the BETAs in the Hanger and saves Yui. He gives her some quick first aid as Stella keeps guard from a distant outside. After Yuuya finishes tending to Yui he informs her that they'll be evacuating now, but before that Yui insists on self-destructing the Radiation Canon first. Meanwhile, Stell is noticing that a ridiculous amount of BETAs are heading for the hanger Yui and Yuuya are in.
So Yuuya comes in at the last minute to save Yui! More than anything I'm curious as to why the BETAs are headed to Yui and Yuuya's area. It has to do with the Radiation Canon, but what kind of secret does the Radiation Canon have? Or could the reason be something else? That aside, Yui was being really dere this episode. Particularly where she calls for Yuuya when she collapses on the floor in the hangar. I'm hoping to see more of that next episode!

Not all semester study-abroad programs or intensive courses abroad include airfare. Therefore, you may have to book your own flight. Since the Office of International Studies is not a travel agency, we cannot book flights for you for programs that exclude airfare. But we can help get you started.
In order to find a flight, you have the following two choices:
Find a Travel Agent
Online booking websites have made travel agents a less popular choice, but travel agents can be a great choice if you want a wide variety of options or if you need some assistance with transportation to and from the airport. You can start by looking in the "yellow pages," asking friends or parents for recommendations, or searching the Web for travel agents and agencies.
Please be aware that if money is a concern, you may not get the lowest price possible when using a travel agent. Since you are paying the agent for a service, you generally will be paying a service fee on top of the cost of your flights and travel.
Having said that, there are some travel agencies that specialize in student travel. The most well-known are Student Universe and STA Travel. Students can usually find low fares with Student Universe and STA. STA also sells the International Student Identity Cards. These cards provide discounts in certain foreign cities and travel insurance, and they are required if you want to book a flight with STA. You can book flights on the website or call to speak to an agent. The STA website is also filled with useful student travel information.
Do It Yourself
You can call airlines directly, use airline websites, or search one of the many engines on the Web. Whatever you choose, please realize that this process is entirely up to you and that you are assuming all risks. The following are just a few of the numerous options on the Web to help you find a flight. We suggest you check out a few options and compare prices and itineraries. Also, if you purchase anything on the Web, make sure it is a secure site. Double-check all dates, locations, and details before entering payment information. Generally, tickets purchased online are nonrefundable.
- Do not purchase an airplane ticket until you are accepted by Goucher/an affiliate program
- OIS strongly recommends the purchase of a round-trip ticket
- It may be advantageous to pay extra for a ticket that includes changes of return date without extra charge. Changing your return date could be costly.
- Students who are going to the U.K. for study abroad should not fly through Ireland.
Websites offering flight searches and ticket sales include the following:

Yoga Teacher Training Forum
Yoga Instructors: Would you like to network with fellow teachers worldwide? Here is a resource to find answers for every possible question regarding continuing education, improving your classes, student safety and much more.
April 27, 2015
Om Namashivaya
The largest regulating body of Yoga is the International Yoga Federation (IYF). Many Yoga teachers in India and Asia join them - they are much larger than the Yoga Alliance, and the British Wheel of Yoga.
If i remember correctly, Paulji is a member of the IYF. This is not meant to stir a political debate. He told me it is a wise practice to network with other teachers in order to expand knowledge. There are many ways to expand your knowledge, but interacting with other Yoga teachers is fun.
The truth is, you do not have to join any Yoga teacher network to teach Yoga, but new Yoga teachers join the Yoga Alliance to enhance their credentials. This is not meant to take away any credit from the organization or the new Yoga teachers who are working hard to get "wall paper."
Established Yoga teachers resist joining, as it seems like we are selling out, but you are not required by any government to join any Yoga teacher organizations.
It is worth looking at this site, if you are looking for a reputable Yoga organization.

5 Foods To Give You Energy & Balance
Last night I had the opportunity to have dinner with several smart women at one of my favorite healthy places in town. We're all health coaches and it was a great to connect and share tips.
It was interesting when it came time to order dinner as almost everyone of us ordered the same salad, a winter vegetable mix. It got me thinking about eating in season, and how wonderful it is for your health and soul at this time of the year.
Here are 5 of my favorite vegetables to include into your daily life that will give you energy and balance.
1. Cauliflower
It has the ability to help the liver produce enzymes that neutralize potential toxins in the body. Cauliflower is also high in vitamin C; one cup contains almost as much as an orange. Check your favorite health food store as it also comes in several colors, white, purple, light green and orange.
2. Brussels sprouts
They're everywhere! To tell the truth, I hated these when I was a kid. Now I've found that I love them! Brussels sprouts packed with vitamins A, C, E and are rich in vitamin K and folate. For such a small vegetable they pack a lot of nutrients and little calories.
3. Broccoli
This is at its best in the cold winter months when frost helps to develop a sweet flavor. The great thing about broccoli is it comes in many forms, broccoflower, broccoli raab and broccoli sprouts. All of these have powerful health promoting nutrients. Broccoli is also good for the heart as it is rich in folic acid.
4. Beets
Beets contain highly pigmented phyto nutrients which provide amazing anti oxidant protection. I can't say enough about the nutrients in this vegetable! The best way to eat them is raw. Juice it, grate it in a salad, pickle them. All fantastic ways to get the most from this little gem.
5. Cabbage
Aaaah, so many kinds of cabbage to choose from: red, green, savoy, napa, and bok choy. Cabbage is also at its best in the colder months as it develops a sweeter flavor and is crisper. My favorite is red cabbage as it contains twice the vitamin C of green cabbage. Skip the precut halved pieces in the grocery store as they will have lost much of their nutrients.

I cannot talk about the Father heart of God without talking about His Son. Jesus lived approximately 33 years, His last three years comprising of His public ministry. Every Easter we acknowledge His death and resurrection. On New Year's, we celebrate the anniversary of His impact on the earth. At Christmas, we celebrate His birth. The copyright on your favorite music dates back to His life and death. There can be no denying that Jesus walked the earth.
But what impact does this have on our lives? Acknowledging Jesus lived among the men and women is not enough. We have to come to grips with Jesus as the Christ. You see, Jesus was His name, but Christ was His title. "Christ" is another word for Messiah, or "anointed" one, literally "smeared." Jesus had a mission. He was set apart for a specific task. He was after your heart.
We can see His heart for people from different angles. When His friend Lazarus died, Jesus wept and called him out of the tomb with grave clothes and all. For a woman who had bled for years, He ministered healing. At the temple, His passion burned as He overturned the moneychangers' defilement of His Father's house of prayer. For a paralytic, He stopped the meeting, healed him and forgave his sins. For you, He stands at the door and knocks, waiting for you to invite Him in. You can rest assured of this. He is after your heart.
If He was such a great man, why did they crucify him? Because he had a unique relationship with God. He was God's Son. You may say, "Waitaminute. You had me with the historical Jesus, but Jesus as God's flesh and blood? I just don't know." Well, Jesus knew. He said in John 10:30, "I and the Father are one." And He had a hope, an anchor. His foundation was found in His relationship with His Father. When His Father asked Him to lay down His life for the salvation of mankind, His prayers were so intense, He was sweating blood. And He prayed, "Not my will, but Yours be done." After all, He was after your heart.
In John 5:19-20, Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all that He himself is doing. And greater works than these will He show Him, so that you may marvel." Col. 1:15 says Jesus "is the image of the invisible God." Hebrews 1:3 says "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature."
And what happened when Phillip asked for a greater revelation from Christ himself in John 14:8-12? Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work." If you've seen the Son, you've see the Father.
I remember the first time I went into a worship service where people were lifting their hands as they sang their songs. I thought, "What is with these people?" It turned out their security was not being afraid of what others thought about them. It was in Christ. He had revolutionized their lives and made them passionate for Him. So where do we stand? Is our security primarily in Christ? This is not the three little pigs picking the correct material to keep the wolf out. This is abiding in the shadow of the cross, the empty tomb, the risen Christ and His very Spirit.
Hillsong Worship recorded an updated version of the classic hymn "On Christ the Solid Rock." One of the writers, Reuben Morgan explains that "When the earth shakes, we look to our feet and wonder what it is that we are standing on? When darkness seems to hide His face; In every high and stormy gale; Through the storm; My anchor holds". See it here.
Again, Revelation 3:20 says, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me." If you have met the Son, you have met the Father. He is after your heart. Open it, and welcome Him in.
God bless you.
God bless you.

EV-Accelerating Rate Calorimeter
EV-Accelerating Rate Calorimeter
To implement all of the tests with larger batteries, which can be carried out with small batteries using the esARC, THT developed the original EV-ARC in 1999.
The EV calorimeter is necessary for larger batteries, modules and small packs, power tools, satellite, military and associated applications. The EV calorimeter is used when variation of heat release over surface area (MultiPoint measurement) is to measured and associated thermal management applications. The EV calorimeter is rugged and is sited in a secure Containment Vessel.
Within the containment vessel the standard ARC calorimeter (as in ES-ARC) can be used and this is regularly supplied for "Double Systems". Such a system gives versatility capable of measuring:- small prismatic, coin cell, 18650 and other larger batteries used in power applications.
With the EV system all safety tests can be carried out as well as Battery Performance studies.
The BPC Battery Performance Calorimeter is an even larger calorimeter where thermal management is to be studied - it is not suitable for safety tests, but is used for multipoint and power discharge application and experimentation over environmental temperatures. It is restricted to 200°C.

Low Φ containers
Designed by THT these low Φ containers are designed to enable accelerating rate calorimeter users to bridge the gap into the world of low-phi testing. These cells are available with several different fittings and can also be fitted with magnetic stir bars. Currently these containers are offered in stainless steel although other materials can be produced. Contact us for further details.
Burst Disk Unit
THT has designed this burst disk assembly, which is suitable for any
accelerating rate calorimeter. Designed to sit above the calorimeter, this device enables the user to protect the system from cell ruptures. The user can fit a number of special burst disks which are designed to rupture at specific pressures and will cause the cell to rapidly discharge. Any liquid vented will be contained within the catch pot. This system is ideally used alongside low-phi containers and glass bombs
Battery sample holders
THT manufactures holders for specific batteries to enable testing in both open and closed (with pressure connections) modes. THT are able to manufacture special holders for any battery dependent on a specified minimum order. Please contact us with your specific requirements.
Sample Holders
Specific holders for all battery types.
2 cubic meter containment vessel (Blast Box) to allow working space; 3mm reinforced Steel, Proximity Switch, Door bolt;
Burst Disk Assembly. Automated Fume Extraction facility
Control Modes
Adiabatic; Quasi-Isothermal, True Isothermal, Isoperibolic, RampDetection of Endotherms and Tracking of Exotherms
Sample Testing Service
For larger battery cells the EV-ARC can be used. A testing service including abuse and electro-thermal dynamics is available.
Abuse type testing will determine heat output when battery is shorted, overcharged or over-discharged. Such tests are routinely carried out in the THT ARC using the BSU option.
Testing can also be carried out to determine Cp variation of heat release over surface area (multi-point) and aspects of thermal management.
The full range of tests that can be carried out with the EV-ARC plus battery test options allows all information on the safety, efficiency, lifetime of batteries and thermal consequences of their performance to be determined.

In-Dash Receiver Specifications
Single DIN: 1 DIN dimensions will work with all single DIN installation kits we have to offer. Single DIN radios are the most common size for after-market stereos.
Single DIN slot with flip-out screen: The DIN stereo includes a retractable, flip-out screen. Before purchasing, make measurements to be sure there is no interference with dash accessories such as A/C vents or shift levers.
Single DIN slot with a larger face: Standard single DIN size, but the display is larger then the standard single DIN size. Due to the nature of the larger face, problems may arise when installing in particular vehicles. These stereos are great for single DIN slots where you want a larger screen.
1.5 DIN: This size is very uncommon in vehicles, however this size opening is most commonly found in Chrysler and Chevrolet vehicles.
Double DIN: Approximately 4-inches in height, this size is becoming more common every year. Prior to 2000, this size was typically only found in Japanese vehicles such as those made by Honda or Toyota. Now, it is becoming more popular for many vehicles to be fit with a Double DIN opening.
Detachable / Removable faceplate security: The most common anti-theft feature. It allows you to take the faceplate with you, thus disallowing operation, which deters theft.
Security Codes: Mainly a feature in high end video units which do not have a detachable face / screen. Once the unit is uninstalled (or stolen), a security code (or PIN) is required upon reinstallation. Though you no longer have your unit after the theft, the thief also does not have your security code, which makes the unit useless. The hope is the thief knows which units have security codes and he/she chooses not to steal your unit because of the security code.
Ghost technology: This is not commonly used, but can be found primarily in a select number of 2004-2005 head units. It creates an illusion that no unit is installed by appearing completely black when turned off. Potential thieves may steer clear because it appears as though no head unit is installed.
Anti-theft covers: Similar to ghost and hiding faces because they only create an illusion that the face/unit is not in place.
ESN: Stands for Electronic Serial Number. Allows the disabling of the radio and allows tracking if it is stolen.
Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal to consumers. The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
Dot-Matrix Text Display: A simple display which uses dots in specific illuminated color(s) to light up and form letters or numbers that are displayed on the receiver.
Graphic or Motion Display: Typically found in mid to high-end receivers and give your text information and receiver more life by adding motion, backgrounds, or multiple colors to your display. There are types of graphic displays such as 3D Graphic, Motion, and OEL (Organic Electroluminescent) displays. They can range from one color to full color displays and typically allow you to select from one of many built-in animations, background images, screensavers or other graphics to enhance your experience and add an extra bit of personality to your system. Some units also come with software that allow you to load your own customizable pictures or animations.
LCD Monitor Display: Can be as small as 2" or as large as 10". Some LCD displays are motorized for angle adjustment. LCD monitors display full motion video playback as well as your standard text such as track status, radio station information and more depending on the receiver's features.
Multi-Color: When more than one color is on the display, for example one part of the text is white, while the other part is blue.
Variable-Color: The display colors can be changed by the user. If the default color of text/display is blue for example, the user can change the settings to where the color turns to red. Variable color displays are typically described in detail in the item's description.
TFT-LCD Display: In-dash receivers with a video screen that display multiple colors and often times video such as DVD, navigation or other video sources.
Playback Features
Expandability Features
Some in-dash head units are built-in with the navigation features, while others require an add on navigation box. Other navigation options include portable navigation units that you can take with you or attach to the dash of your vehicle.
RCA Composite Inputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
This is commonly referred to as a mini-jack or a headphone jack. It is a 3.5mm plug that transfers audio only. There is a right and left audio channel on the plug which allows for stereo sound playback.
3.5mm AV Input
These plugs look similar to the common 3.5mm mini-jack, however they carry a third channel dedicated for video.
This means that an auxiliary input is possible, but only with the use of an optional accessory. These optional adapters will sometimes use the CD Changer port or other port on the back of a unit that might restrict the use of other expandability features. These accessories are typically sold separately.
RCA Composite Outputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
If "Yes", then the aftermarket stereo is compatible with steering wheel remote controls. If an additional accessory is required for the steering wheel controls to work properly, a compatible piece will be listed.

616 issues of the Australian Cyclist journal have recently been digitised and made available to view online.
Dating from 1893 to 1905, it was the "official journal of the League of Victorian Wheelmen with the mission to advance racing and touring and the trade of cycling in all the lands under the Southern Cross."
Perfect for cycling enthusiasts or vintage bicycle buffs, the Australian Cyclist advocates all aspects of the bicycle, and included advertisements for local bike shops and depots, reviews of road races, programs of racing events, local league notes and, of course, cycling club gossip.
The first issue appeared in Melbourne on 7 September 1893, and would eventually progress into advocating for the start of the motor-car.
"Today our curtain rises, and The Australian Cyclist appears before the wheelmen of the world."
Thanks to our Collection Digitisation team and other collections staff, the journal is now available to view and download online. You can access and search the journal as part of our Popular digitised collections page, or via our catalogue using the usual 'View online' option.
Read more about other journals in our collection.
The Library also holds numerous photos of cycling in Victoria within the Pictures Collection. Our digital image pool is a great place to start your image search.
While you're here …
More people are using this Library than ever before. Every year, around two million people come through our doors to think, learn, debate, create, discover and dream. Millions more visit us online.

2014 Honda CR-Z Quick Take: Sport/Hybrid is not an oxymoron
Expectations are funny things. When the CR-Z two-seat hybrid was introduced four years ago, visions of the CR-X Si danced in the heads of the Honda faithful. Despite being the first hybrid to offer a manual transmission, the reality of the performance of this two-seat fuel sipper was disappointing to the fan boys and perhaps that perception unfairly tarred what is arguably a fun and efficient commuter-which was ironically the mission of the original CR-X when it was introduced way back in 1984.

Still, the 2014 Honda CR-Z soldiers on, adding tweaks that enhance its sportiness while delivering fuel economy in the 30-plus mpg range. The CR-Z is what some would term a mild hybrid, its Integrated Motor Assist using a 15 kW electric motor to give an extra boost to the 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine for a combined output of 130 horsepower. While the manual is designed to appeal to the enthusiast set, the best fuel economy is obtained with the CVT-the manual earns 31 mpg city/38 mpg highway for a combined 34 on the EPA cycle, while the CVT boasts 36 city/39 highway for 37 mpg combined.
Prices start at $19,995 for the base model equipped with the 6-speed up through the $23,990 we saw with our CR-Z EX CVT with navigation. This top-of-line model features comfy sport bucket seats, a thick, grippy steering wheel and responsive handling you'd expect from the tidy two-seater that rides on a 95.9-inch wheelbase. The electric power assist steering has plenty of feel and weight to take advantage of the car's crisp turn in and nimble road manners. The powertrain is responsive and the stepped CVT is tuned to minimize the elastic feel and high rev droning often exhibited by these transmissions. And in a tip of the hat to Honda's IndyCar efforts, there is even a push to pass button-called Sport Plus-that gives an extra squirt of power from the electric motor for passing maneuvers and freeway merging. That boost is only available if the battery has more than a 50-percent charge and the vehicle is travelling at least 20 mph.

Aside from the Sport Plus button, the driver can select from Econ, Normal and Sport modes that changes the responsiveness of the accelerator and the aggressiveness of the regenerative braking system. Speaking of the latter, braking action is linear with good pedal feel unlike other hybrids which are not as consistent thanks to varying recapture rate of the vehicle's kinetic energy.
While it's no Si, the CR-Z is no slouch, either. It is fun to drive, affordable and returns good fuel economy. The downside is the lack of utility that comes from having just two seats. But among the growing list of hybrids on the market, the 2014 Honda CR-Z has carved out its own unique niche.

Since moving to Germary, I've come to love shopping at the local markets and grocery stores. A while back I stumbled across these golden little gems, that us Americans refer to them as Gooseberries. Where as the Germans call them Physalis. They are quite tasty on their own, but I really wanted to find a recipe to try. Thanks to Pinterest, yet again, I discovered one!
My little sous chef would sneak a few while we were de-tailing them.
On to making the tart shell
Recipe from Good Food
What you need:
250 g all-butter shortcrust pastry
all purpose flour for dusting
2 large eggs, room temperature
200 ml double cream
85 g granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
300 g small gooseberries, topped and tailed
powder sugar for garnish
How to make it:
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line a 23cm loose-bottom tart pan.
Trim the excess pastry from the around the edge, then line the pastry case with baking parchment paper, fill it with baking beans and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 200˚C (about 400˚F).
Bake the pastry case for 15 minutes, then carefully life out the parchment paper and beans, and bake for another 5 minutes or until biscuity.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs, cream, sugar, and vanilla together, then strain into a bowl.
Scatter the gooseberries into the pastry shell, then pour in the vanilla custard mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the custard is set and the gooseberries are tender.
Cool a little before serving.
Dust with powder sugar then ENJOY!

A Bend in the Willow
by Susan Clayton-Goldner
ebook: 275 pages
Publisher: Tirgearr Publishing
Released: Jan. 18, 2017
Source: ebook review copy from the author through the publisher through NetGalley.
Book Description, Modified from NetGalley:
Willowood, Kentucky - Robin Lee Carter is abused as a child and made fun of as "dirty junkyard trash" by other kids. In 1965, she disappears the same night a fire kills her rapist. She reinvents herself and lives a respectable life as Catherine Henry, married to a medical school professor in Tucson, Arizona.
In 1985, their 5-year-old son, Michael, is diagnosed with a chemotherapy-resistant leukemia. Their only hope is a bone marrow transplant, but no match is found. She must admit that she's been lying about her past and face the family she's left behind: her brother who thinks she's dead and a 19-year-old son, a product of her rape, who she gave up for adoption. She knows her return may lead to a murder charge, but Michael is suffering terribly and her husband no longer trusts her. Will she lose everything in her attempts to save her dying son?
My Review:
A Bend in the Willow is women's fiction set in 1985 with frequent flashbacks to Robin Lee's childhood. I expected the book to focus on healing from the past. But, no, it's basically watching Robin Lee be physically and emotionally tortured--by sexual, physical, and emotional abuse in her past and by guilt now.
We're told the details of the horrible things the sick son has to endure and of the abuse she and her siblings endured as children, but apparently that wasn't enough. The husband's father is also sick with cancer. The husband may lose his dream job. And so on.
So many pages were spent adding layers of pain and guilt that relatively little time was spent on rebuilding the relationships and finding healing--the things I was interested in. People initially refused to even listen to Robin Lee because they felt so hurt but would decide that they needed to get over it for the sake of the sweet, sick boy.
In the last 4% of the story, things started looking hopeful. Then the story ends. We're left with hope that Michael may get better yet uncertain if things really do work out okay in the end. This left me feeling very frustrated.
There were some graphic details when describing the sexual abuse. There was a fair amount of bad language.
If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.

This HND article is a follow-up to last week's entry.
Yet another prestigious hospital joins the ranks of those reporting Carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections, linked to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) endoscopes. On March 4th, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles discovered that four patients were infected with CRE, and 67 others may have been exposed. On the same day, Hartford (CT) Hospital announced that as many as 281 patients may have come into contact with a "tough strain" of E. coli over the past year, but denied that it was CRE.
Two matters keep coming up: The non-use of proven ethylene oxide sterilization, and the detached attitude of the GI-docs. Then there's the dumb idea of blaming the scopes and going back to older models, as if the earlier design did not also have contamination problems. More than that, just about everyone thinks that many more similar cases will emerge—and not just with ERCP scopes.
One wonders when the rest of the medical community will put pressure on the GI-docs to show some leadership. Read the complete article.

Nicole Pietz's sister Tonia Zurcher, left, yells, "You're going to burn in hell, Pietz." as he leaves court after the verdict was read on Monday. (Photo by Mark Harrison / The Seattle Times) A King County jury has found Martin "David" Pietz guilty of the 2006 murder of his wife, Nicole. Members of Nicole Pietz's family wept openly as the verdict was announced just before 2 p.m. Pietz, who sat only a few feet away, showed little emotion when he learned he had been convicted of second-degree murder. "I just wanted justice for my daughter and we got it," said Nicole's mother, Gael Schneider. "These last 7 1/2 years have been torture for us." As Pietz was led from the courtroom, Nicole's sister Tonia Zurcher yelled, "You're going to burn in hell, Pietz." He faces a sentence of between about 10 years to just over 18 years in prison. A sentencing date has not been set. Pietz had long been considered a suspect after Nicole disappeared from the couple's Lynnwood home on Jan. 28, 2006, and her body was found in Burien woods about a week later. But Pietz, 36, wasn't arrested until more than six years later, on March 21, 2012, after King County prosecutors had built a case they felt was strong enough to prosecute. Prosecutors conceded during Pietz's monthlong trial that there was a lack of witnesses and DNA evidence. However, during testimony and in closing arguments last Thursday, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Kristin Richardson cited circumstantial evidence she said warranted a conviction. Richardson claimed Pietz had grown tired of Nicole, was unfaithful, wanted a more creative sex life and was "cold and callous." She said Pietz strangled his wife during an argument in their condominium. The defense, however, poked holes in the prosecution's case. Defense attorney David Allen said prosecutors based their case on Pietz's character and failed to establish a motive. They conceded he had been unfaithful but said that didn't make him a killer. "Dave Pietz isn't the first guy to step out on his spouse," Allen told jurors Wednesday. "Is it a motive to kill his wife? He had bad boundaries; he's oversexed." The defense noted Nicole, 32, had struggled with drug addiction and may have relapsed before her death. That relapse may have played a role in her death, they said. Allen also told jurors that Pietz's decision not to testify during the trial is not an admission of guilt. Jurors began their deliberations Thursday morning. Testimony began on Sept. 12.

This week in the North West we have been lucky enough to have had some really lovely Spring weather, this has meant the shedding of winter coats in favour of cardigans on the school run and afternoons spent playing in the garden.
I don't know about you but my mood is always lifted this time of year, the brighter days, fresh Spring air and warm sunshine make me feel so much better, both physically and mentally.
I feel almost like I'm coming out of hibernation, shedding of the dark cold mood of Winter and stepping into a fresher frame of mind where the day's are more productive.
The children are obviously enjoying this change of season too, Jake had his first trip to the park and Daisy helped me to wash her garden toys so she can enjoy them in the coming months.
Each afternoon after lunch we have played in the garden, Jake is quite happy to sit in his walker, when it's a little warmer and the grass is a little shorter I will spread a huge blanket out and allow him a little more freedom.
I only wish there was a way to bottle the feelings that Spring days bring, but until there is I'm going to enjoy and make the most the of it.
Do you feel better as the season changes ? or do you feel this way all year round I certainly wish I did !

#PanamaPapers not 'responsible journalism,' should be released in full : WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks spokesman and Icelandic investigative journalist Kristinn Hrafnsson has called for the leaked data to be put online so that everybody could search through the papers. He said withholding of the documents could hardly be viewed as "responsible journalism."
#PanamaPapers: If you censor more than 99% of the documents you are engaged in 1% journalism by definition.
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) April 6, 2016
"When they are saying that this is responsible journalism, I totally disagree with the overall tone of that," the co-founder of the Icelandic Center for Investigative Journalism told RT's Afshin Rattansi in Going Underground, when asked about his reaction to the ICIJ head saying that the consortium is not WikiLeaks, and is trying to show that journalism can be done responsibly by not releasing the papers in full.
"They should be available to the general public in such a manner so everybody, not just the group of journalists working directly on the data, can search it," Hrafnsson said.
The WikiLeaks spokesman also told RT he's not surprised that there have been no big American names in the leaked 11.5 million documents of the Panamanian law company.
"It seems to be skewed at least a way from American interest. There's always a possibility that it's not a journalistic bias but simply a bias in the documents themselves," Hrafnsson said, adding that Mossack Fonseca "is simply one law firm in Panama servicing and providing tax haven companies mostly out of the BVI [British Virgin Islands]."

Hi, We remove the app from the store because some users complained about minor issues on iOS 9.
At the moment we may republish a new version but no idea when this will happen.
That is such a shame. I liked Boxcar but with the application pulled and there being no commitment to republishing it I'll stop recommending it.
Minor issues? Sounds like something bigger than that to me.
Mickaël - Unfortunately, most people speak up when they have something bad to say. This is especially true with the iTunes App Store. My bet is that if you took the number of active BoxCar accounts divided into the number of negative comments that you would find it only represents a very very small percentage. The vast majority, I'm sure, greatly appreciate BoxCar and the amazing work you do.
I know many iOS developers and they all wrestle with the influence of negative comments and the lack of positive comments. They tell me that they've had to develop a confidence that the products they are producing are really great and they always point to the number of people using them.
Take all of the time you need to decide where to go next, but try not to penalize the many many people who love BoxCar and use it frequently.
Lastly, by pulling your app totally from iTunes will give users wrong impression - that you don't have confidence in the product and that you're essentially abandoning BoxCar. My recommendation is that you get it back onto iTunes as soon as you possibly can.
Good luck and please keep up the amazing work!
Hey guys any news on if/when you'll republish? I'm really missing this amazing app :(
Boxcar2 v1.5.3 appeared in the App Store today (an updated version).
Thank you, Michaël.
It is available, as is.
The Boxcar has been removed from UK App Store. Would it be added soon?
I hope you'll bring the app back--it still works great on my iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.2--not sure what people were complaining about!
Please put this app back in the app store--still works great with iOS 11 on my iPhone 6--worried about losing this when I switch to the iPhone X as there is no longer a way to manually add apps via iTunes on PC.
Works great for me as well, iOS11 on iPhone 6s+. Please re-add to the App Store.

6-year-old treats his mom to a monthly 'dinner date' with his allowance
MTV's '16 and Pregnant' star Nikkole Paulun posted a picture of her monthly dinner date with her 6-year-old son Lyle — and some people don't think it's so cute.
Paulun explains in the caption, "Once a month my 6 year old son takes me out on a dinner date. He opens doors for me, pulls out my chair, talks about his day & asks me how mine was, pays the bill with money he earned by doing chores, and even tips the waiter/waitress. By doing this I am teaching him how to treat a lady & how to take her on a proper date. How to show that he respects the woman he loves...It's never too early to teach your child how to properly respect others, especially women."
Once a month my 6 year old son takes me out on a dinner date. He opens doors for me, pulls out my chair, talks about his...Posted by Nikkole Paulun on Friday, January 1, 2016
Some praised the mother of two -- Antionette Sena commented, "What a good mom you are to teach your son how to respect women! Wish more women would do this!"
And Rainbow Skye said, "This is the best thing I've heard in a very long time !! Keep it up ! You're raising a young man !!"
Others...not so much. Mariah Smith wrote, "'I'm gonna teach you to be a man. Do all these chores and then spend the money on me.' Yeah OK."
And Ally Chertez said, "Not impressed at all, in agreement with already mentioned concerns. Let's not talk about the fact that he's being taught that the only and proper way to treat a lady is in fact a material one .. and above all, this is 2016 - I'm pretty sure we're past the 'man has to pay for the date' phase."

Stage & Dance
Transy professors' project catches drag queens in the acts
Natalie Gaye was introduced to drag while a student at Cumberland College. She and friends would drive from Williamsburg to a gay bar in Knoxville called the Carousel.
"I was always interested in theater. Performing in drag seemed such a wonderful outlet. I loved it," Gaye, a stage name, said.
After she moved to Lexington in 1988, Gaye met drag queens at The Bar Complex, the longtime nightclub on East Main Street where there are three drag shows a week.
"They told me I ought to do drag," she said. "It was as simple as that."
Twenty-one years later, Gaye is one of 26 Lexington drag queens who are sharing their personal stories for an oral history and photography project called Passing by Transylvania University professors Kurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova.
Todorova, an assistant professor of English, became interested in drag two years ago, when she taught an American literature class called "Passing." The class took its name from a term meaning "to pass yourself off as something you are not," she said.
After she showed students the 1990 documentary film on drag performers called Paris Is Burning, Gohde, an associate professor of art who had photographed drag queens for a charity calendar for several years, told her there were drag performances in Lexington. "He said he would take me to see one," Todorova said.
When an opportunity came up to apply for a grant from the Kentucky Oral History Commission to interview people whose voices are not heard in Kentucky, the two conceived a project to collect the stories of local queens.
Working with the drag queens appeals to Gohde and Todorova in several ways. One, Gohde said, is challenging the dual explanations of gender and sexuality at play in the drag community. The other is creating a record of lives that history shows us will be forgotten, he said.
Part of Gohde's and Todorova's fascination has been in finding among Lexington's drag queens a community of people who give their time to raise money for many charitable causes, giving back to society even when society does not embrace them.
"It's an incredibly selfless community," Gohde said of the drag queens. "They make incredible sacrifices. They spend a lot of money to raise money for charity."
Gaye is particularly an example of this, Gohde said. "She gives and gives. It's trusting there will be payback, even if it never comes directly back to you. That's a type of giving very few people have the capacity to do."
Triple exposure
Since the Passing project began last April, it has evolved in several ways.
Three separate photo exhibits of photography from the project will open Monday at Third Street Stuff, The Bar Complex and Transylvania's library. On March 25, a drag show, telling the story of drag, featuring queens from the project and directed by another queen, Chelsea Pearl, will be presented at Transylvania's Carrick Theater.
For some time, Gohde and Todorova have written regular creative essays about drag queens on the project's MySpace page, www. myspace.com/passing_lex.
Ultimately, they plan to compile the essays and some of the oral histories and photographs in a book.
And with another grant from the Oral History Commission, Gohde and Todorova will go to Venice, Italy, this summer to present papers at the International Conference on Art in Society.
To be a 'mini rock star'
Gaye and other female impersonators say performing in drag shows — with the over-the-top hair, makeup and glamorous costumes — is their ultimate expression of creativity.
"You get on stage and sing the songs of your favorite performer and be a mini rock star for a little bit," said Jenna Jive, 28, who has performed under that stage name for about five years. Jive was born male but had gender-replacement surgery. It's unusual that she performs as a drag queen, an art form traditionally pursued by men.
When on stage, "you feel that energy of the audience. It's very rewarding," said Jive, who, like most queens, lip-syncs and pantomimes her shows. "You can never get enough of it."
Getting dressed to the extreme for drag is complicated and usually takes more than two hours, performers say.
When performing, Gaye, who lives as a man, wears several layers of panty hose so she doesn't have to shave her legs. To become her drag persona, Gaye puts on a waist cincher, a bra with foam-rubber breasts, and feminine hips made from foam rubber. Next, she applies heavy stage makeup and two pairs of long eyelashes.
Then there's the icing on the drag cake: "Instead of one wig, you might layer two or three," she said, adding that a saying among drag queens is "More is more."
It's glamour and spectacle
Most performers favor the term "drag queen" over "female impersonator," Gaye said.
"I'm not trying to look like a woman who's sitting in the audience," she said.
Instead, drag queens aspire to an extreme of glamour, femininity and spectacle.
Gaye, 41, said she has never wanted to be a woman.
"There are drag queens who have the desire to be a woman, but that is separate from their drag," she said. "I consider myself an entertainer."
When in drag, Gaye refers to herself as "she." At her day job as a hairdresser, Gaye dresses as a man and responds to "he."
Not long after coming to Lexington, Gaye, who lip-syncs her songs, began performing at The Bar Complex, where she is now a fixture. She also is a popular entertainer around town. On Tuesday night, she performed at the Mardi Gras Ball that benefited several gay-friendly organizations. That's just one of the many charitable events where she has performed over the years.
"It's a way to have fun, make money and be a part of the larger gay community in Lexington," Gaye said.
Twice she was elected empress by the Imperial Court of Kentucky philanthropic organization. She appeared in the Imperial Court calendar that Gohde photographed for five years.
In drag, Gaye says, she feels not like a man, not like a woman, but like a queen.
How does that feel?
"Over the top," she said. "You walk into a room and get everyone's attention. Again, it's that desire to entertain and to be on stage. That's what drew me to being a drag queen."
But getting into drag makeup and costumes, being at an event for several hours and performing is exhausting, she said.
"The first thing when I come home I take it all off. Fingernails first. That's the first thing I take off. Then I take a shower," she said.
"Really it's like a job. I come home, and it's all over."
