What it Is Edit
Dol-Eomar is a kingdom that occupies Dor-en-Ernil and Lebinnen. It is a land of great horse masters, with skill enough to rival Rohan. In fact, people of Rohan created this nation, settling in underpopulated regions of Gondor. They are a people of knowledge, but also of war. The fight valiantly, and to the death. Their military consists of almost purely cavalry, though some infantry divisions can be found.
History Edit
Dol-Eomar (the Horse's Head) was founded by their current king, Eovan. Eovan was a Rohan cavalryman, and knew the ways of the horse. After 23 years of his life had gone by, he decided to go exploring. Along with a dozen other companions, they crossed the White Mountains. 2 weeks after, the company laid their eyes on the Gondorian province of Dol-Amroth. Here they settled, and made friends with the Swan Knights. After a few years, Dol-Eomar started to look for expansion. To the east, they saw promising land. Large enough to pasture, and it would bring them into notice of other major powers. To this day, Eovan rules Dol-Eomar in Dor-en-Ernil and Lebennin.
Allies and Enemies Edit
This kingdom's main allies are Rohan and the people of Dol-Amroth, but Dol-Eomar is also close to Gondor and the Half-Elves. This being a kingdom of war, The enemies are many. From the Uruk-Hai and Gundabad in the North, to the empires of Harad and Mordor in the East and South.
Rohan, Gondor, Dol-Amroth, Lothlorien
Uruk-Hai, Mordor, All of Harad, Dunland
Culture Edit
The people of this land are inspired by both Rohan's and Amroth's cultures, and so a mixture of these is seen in troop variety as well as weaponry and architecture. The language of these people is a mix of the Anglo-Saxon of the Rohirrim and the common tongue of Gondor. These people love their horses, and it is a symbol of social standard by how many of these epic creatures you have. Most people have one or two, but royalty can have a stable of up to ten all for themselves! This land will not be easily taken by its enemies, but neither do the people care to establish an empire. The military will not spread conquest too far, in fear of being stretched thin. Due to this, Dol-Eomar's armies will not attack to conquer, unless provoked. The values of these people are, of course, horses, but also gold and silver, other metals, and knowledge. Strategic, and somewhat greedy, these people care for little else than these things, but are open to trade from other nations, to find new treasures. The people of this land worship Shadowfax, Lord of Horses. Horses are sacred to these people, and the murder of one of these holy animals will result in banishment or death. These people also worship Alaran, the Pegasus. The Pegasus species is of legend, where the mystical swan had an offspring with Shadowfax to create them. Alaran was the first born, and a valiant warrior will be taken to the Hall of Valor when he dies on the back of Alaran.
Location Edit
Dol-Eomar is located within Dor-en-Ernil and Lebennin. These Gondorian provinces are not only the horse-master's lands though. Gondor owns and inhabits these areas as well.

The long running Farlam Commission is drawing to an end and the dates for the final evidence have been set. From the 4th to 15th, evidence leaders and others will present their final documents and arguments. The Commission, appointed by President Jacob Zuma, has run since the 23rd of August 2012 has been mandated to investigate "matters of public, national and international concern arising out of the tragic incidents at the Lonmin Mine in Marikana." To date, the Commission has sat for 293 days where evidence from 56 witnesses has been presented including SAPS, the injured and arrested Lonmin miners, expert witnesses and members from Lonmin, AMCU and NUM. The final report is to be submitted to the President in March 2015.
As the Commission draws to a close we spoke to Rehad Desai who shares his hope for a positive outcome:
"we can expect from the findings and recommendation of The Commission are the demilitarisation of the police, the need for detailed public order policing policy and perhaps most importantly, a very clear indictment of what happened immediately after the shootings we saw on our screens. It is highly conceivable that The Commission find, given the falsification, deception and concealment of evidence by SAPS, that the police commanders responsible for the 17 killings at scene two, that the policemen in question were most likely involved in unlawful killings."
Many however expect that there will be some negative outcomes from The Commission. Desai suggests that:
"despite the weight of substantive evidence that points to a premeditated plan to break the strike, which resulted in the use of deadly force on the 16th August, it is expected that The Farlam Commission will find that there is no hard evidence to show that the police had clear intentions to murder strikers. The judgement, much like in the Pretorius case, will be fudged, as there are number of variables at play. Most conspicuously absent in the findings will be the responsibility of Government Ministers and Lonmin Executives despite substantive evidence that points to collusion at the highest level. "
For an excellent discussion of the outcomes of The Commission, Greg Nicolson provides a detailed account of what is likely to come from The Commission in his article for the "Daily Maverick "which can be accessed here. For more updates on the final submission please visit our Facebook page (Miners Shot Down) and website http://www.minersshotdown.co.za.
As a show of solidarity, we invite all interested parties to attend The Commission on the 12 of November, where the injured and arrested miners will be making their final presentations.

Today at the PPTA annual conference, delegates representating over 17,000 secondary teachers expressed strong concerns about the impact on secondary teacher recruitment and retention if the government doesn't make significant improvments to their offer.
They call on the government to come back with an offer that genuinely addresses teacher shortages and excessive workload before paid union meetings begin on 7 November – once senior students have left for exam leave.
PPTA president Jack Boyle says, "Secondary schools are facing an unprecedented shortage of the trained, expert quality teachers that our young people need. We can't accept this offer: it would leave secondary teaching on the downward trajectory that it's been on for the last decade, with the attractiveness and sustainability of this great profession being eroded further."
PPTA members made a claim for significant improvements to pay and conditions in August this year, on the basis of a crisis of secondary teacher shortages and the compounding impact of unsustainable teacher workload.
"The government's offer doesn't touch the sides of addressing the problem," says Boyle.
PPTA has requested a second offer from the government to take out to members at these meetings. If that offer is not forthcoming or is inadequate, members will be voting on industrial action.
"We strongly support the government's intentions to make sure all learners in New Zealand have high quality and personalised learning opportunties to set them on a path for a great life beyond school. It is deeply disappointing that the challenges facing secondary schools are going to
undermine this work. Support for our teaching workforce is urgently needed to bring out the best in our young people."
PPTA will continue to negotiate with the government in good faith.

Implant Retained Dentures
What are Implant Retained Dentures?
Implant retained dentures are a revolutionary way of having secure upper and lower dentures. There are a number of options available and your Lumino dentist or clinical technician will discuss the benefits of each approach to help determine which is most appropriate for you.
Types of Implants
There are two main types of dental implants, including conventional (full) implants and mini implants. There are advantages to each type of implant, so please ask your Lumino clinician which implant solution is best for you.
What is the Procedure?
The first step is fitting your titanium or titanium alloy implants. The second step is fitting the denture to the implant. With mini implants, a removable denture can sometimes be fitted to the implant immediately. Conventional implants usually require time to fuse with the jaw bone. Once healed, the removable denture is fitted.
What are the Benefits of Implant Retained Dentures?
Less movement
Because conventional dentures have no connection except to your gums, they are easily moved out of position by the tongue and lips. This is uncomfortable and can be embarrassing, but implant retained dentures are fixed in place and are much more secure.
Improved appearance
Although no denture or implant will ever perfectly match natural teeth, we do our very best to ensure that implant retained dentures give you the look, feel and function of real teeth.
A better taste experience
Because implant retained dentures don't cover the roof of the mouth, you will taste foods properly again!
How many implants will I need?
It depends on your needs. In most cases, two to four implants are required for the lower dentures, and four to eight are implanted in the upper denture.
Can I use my existing dentures?
Often we can modify your existing dentures to work with your new implants. That decision is based upon the condition of your old dentures and your bone and gums.
Will I feel pain before or after the procedure?
Your jaw will be numbed to ensure your comfort. You may also choose to have sedation, which will make you drowsy during the procedure.
Your dentist will give you pain relief medication to take home, which you may need to take for a short time.
Are there any risks with this surgery?
All surgical procedures have associated risks. You could develop an infection post-surgery which might delay healing. Another risk associated with this procedure is nerve damage. Your clinical technician or dentist will advise you of the degree of risk for you. In rare instances, your body rejects the implant.
Do my implants and dentures require maintenance?
You should visit your dentist every six to 12 months for a check-up and a clean, just as you would with natural teeth. They will check the condition of the implants and fitting of the denture.

Artist Naomi Smith teaching Westside SS students Indigenous techniques and traditions
March 22, 2018
ORANGEVILLE, Ontario – Students at Westside Secondary School are learning Indigenous techniques and traditions, creating art in a weeklong series of workshops.
Artist Naomi Smith was at Westside the week of March 19-23, working with three different art classes.
Naomi is a multi-discipline Indigenous artisan and educator from Neyaashiinigmiing, Ontario. Passionate about Indigenous North American beadwork, adornment and textiles, she creates traditional designs and objects using natural or glass beads, sweet grass, birch bark, porcupine quill, wood, hair and hide.
Naomi's project, No Word for Art: Exploring the Ancient Roots of Creativity, allowed students to explore the creative process from an Indigenous perspective. Classes examined contemporary approaches to Indigenous expression and demonstrations of Indigenous techniques.
Speaking about the project, Naomi explained that traditionally Indigenous languages in the Great Lakes region did not have a word for 'art.' And yet, "artistry and visual expression are critical in defining who we are as First Nations people."
Naomi led students through a number of workshops, all of which were based on Traditional Woodlands culture.
Workshops included introducing students to historical art forms and materials that were used to create functional and decorative objects of the Great Lakes people, and hands-on exploration of different types of Indigenous art.
Students took on a variety of projects, such as creating medicine pouches in the leatherworking session and an introduction to Indigenous beading techniques.
One class learned how to make a beaded strawberry emery pincushion, influenced by century-old Woodlands Native American design and techniques. The strawberry is an esteemed symbol of Woodlands Native culture, as it is one of the first plants that nourishes the community after winter.
Students learned about the history of the emery pincushion and the strawberry in non-Indigenous and Indigenous Victorian life. The tip of the pincushion is filled with emery sand, to clean and sharpen the sewing needles. The rest is filled with sawdust and is where pins are stored. Naomi explained that historically pincushions were extremely important. There were no stores down the street that someone could pop into to buy something new, so sewing was an invaluable part of life.
Naomi brought in a collection of antique strawberry pincushions to show the class, some dating as far back as the 1870s.
Students picked their own colours for fabrics and beads, as Naomi said it's important for the artist to put something of themselves in the work. Naomi walked them through the techniques for sewing the fabric, filling the pincushion, closing the strawberry body, sewing the cap and then doing both embossed and flat appliqué beadwork.
The youth made their pincushions just as they would have 100 years ago, even using 100-year-old beads to adorn the strawberry.
Much of the art created this week at Westside SS will be featured in this year's Turtle Island Heritage Festival, which will take place in April.

Small, lightweight, powerful: Celeroton's turbo compressors replace volume and weight by speed. Our high speeds open the way to generate decentralized pressure and vacuum sources, just where the applications need it. The traditional central generation system, by using large pumps and compressors together with pipes and hoses distribution, are now a thing of the past.
The use of our systems simplifies the implementation and operation of pneumatic applications because the central pumps, compressors and manifolds can be dispensed with. Therefore, pressure losses and leaks through the fluid transport lines are eliminated. The hoses and tubes are replaced by more compact electrical connections. The same turbo compressor can generate both a vacuum and a positive pressure.
Furthermore, the turbo compressors can also be used for the cleaning of the optics in laser welding robots. Due to the low weight and compact size the turbo compressors can be mounted on the robot directly. Thus, no additional piping for the pressurized air is needed.
By reversing the turbo compressor, an expander turbine results, where electrical energy and/or cooling capability can be produced from compressed air.

Personal Fitness Trainer at my local gym is re-branding and has a few logos that he's undecided on. I have given him a few suggestions already. But I thought to give him a more balanced approach would be to ask the online design community for their suggestions and which one would they most likely prefer. I would appreciate if you can give an honest and balanced view on which logo you think works best.
Much appreciate , thanks.

The Golf Club: July 19, 2014
BOSTON (CBS) – On the latest edition of The Golf Club, Hardy gets a links course lesson from Rob Churchill, chats with a former caddy at St. Andrews and even gets a course review from the mayor of Brockton, but first up was Michael Whitmer of the Boston Globe.
SEE ALSO: 5 Reasons Why You Should Be Rooting For Jason Dufner This Weekend
Whitmer appeared on the show to talk about the Massachusetts Amateur Championship at Kernwood Country Club in Salem.
Afterwards they got into a conversation about the British Open, currently underway at Royal Liverpool GC in Hoylake, England.
Listen below:
With a little help from mayor Bill Carpenter, Hardy gives a review of D.W. Field Golf Course in Brockton.
If you've played D.W. in the past but haven't done so recently, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see all the upgrades on the course, playing conditions, amenities and the like.
"It's in the best condition it has ever been," Carpenter stressed to Hardy. "I've spoken with golfers who have played their for decades and have gotten a lot of slaps on the back. They say it's in the best condition it's ever been in."
Carpenter has only been in office six months but made it a priority to fix D.W. shortly thereafter. Mayor terms in the city of Brockton are only two years, so he wanted to have his impact felt immediately.
"I had identified the golf course as one of our objectives in the first year. I looked at the numbers in the budget the last few years, and here we have this beautiful golf course with no mortgage that hasn't been making money. It's been breaking even in recent years. I thought to myself that this is crazy. We need to improve the management and take advantage of the asset."
For Carpenter, he saw fixing D.W. as not only a money-making opportunity for the course, but for the city in general.
"It's not just about golf, it's about financials. If we generate the type of income out of the golf course that we should, I will put a lot of it back into the course and also help to fix up the ball fields and playgrounds across the city that desperately need help. This is a way that a municipal golf course can benefit everyone in the city. It's also about reshaping the image of Brockton. When people think about the city of Brockton, beautiful golf courses is probably not the first thing they think of."
Listen below for the full interview
Hardy met up with an old friend of the show to get a lesson on how to play links style courses and what makes them different from others.
Links courses are typically located at or near the coastline, which as you can imagine allows for wind to be a major factor. Golf pro Rob Churchill has some great tips on how to play a links-style course.
"You really don't want to hit the ball up into the wind. The idea of a links style golf course is you have to keep your shots low. Low punches, a lot of low run-shots and that's going to require — as far as swing mechanics go — putting the ball back a little bit in your stance, and also making sure there's not a lot of hand action in your swing. Hands add height, which means more spin to the golf ball. More spin is not something you want on a links-style course."
Links-style courses are also classified as having uneven fairways, so if you're putting more spin on the ball you can end up in the rough pretty quickly.
Listen below for the full golf lesson:
The British Open is underway, so Hardy wanted to sit down with Oliver Horovitz, author of An American Caddy in St. Andrews.
Hardy is a nonfiction reader and a golf junkie, so this book was right up his alley.
Horovitz grew up in Gloucester and caddied Bass Rocks for years. His book takes you on a tale from the North Shore to St. Andrews in England to Harvard.
At St. Andrews while attending school, Horovitz played with guys with a 2-handicap or less. Besides the golf, at the time he went there the school had a 65 to 35 girl-to-guy ratio.
SEE ALSO: 7 Facts About The British Open
It gets better though.
"If you're a student there it's $175 for the entire year unlimited on the old course. I think that's the best deal in golf," Horovitz told Hardy.
When Ollie was finished with school he did not want to go back to the States (after reading what you just read, why would you?), so to stick around he started caddying at St. Andrews that summer. Let's just say it was not what he expected.
"There's a big hierarchy in the shack, which I didn't know about when I got started. At the very top you've got your wrinkled old guys who've been there forever. They're 70 but look 170. Below them you've got your 30-40 year old full time veteran caddies. Below them you've got your cocky university student who have done a couple years already, and then at the bottom you have your trainee caddy. I was starting as 18, a student, an American and a trainee — so I was the scum of the caddy yard."
Listen below for the full interview!

Spring Landscaping Tips
Warm weather and sunny days make for the perfect conditions to do work on your home, as every home needs touch up from time to time. With the absence of that dreaded frost, spring is a perfect time to improve upon your landscaping, and to add a new flair to your home. So, in order to help prepare you for the spring landscaping season, we have provided a few tips for you that are sure to make your home (and potential listing) pop out from the rest.
Before you do anything to your home, it pays to do your research, even if it's landscaping. Do your homework and check to see what kind of pests are in the immediate area, and how your landscaping changes may affect those pests. For example, our region of the state is plagued by Japanese beetles and termites, which can have an increased presence when you plant certain types of plants or lay down mulch right next to your home. When you look into what you are doing before you do it, you are able to foresee potential problems, and prevent them before they are even a threat.
After you do your research, make sure you plan everything out on paper. By planning things out, you will know if the task at hand requires the help of a landscaper, or if you can do it yourself, and you'll be able to get a realistic picture on the cost. In addition, when planning, you are going to want to plan for growth and maintenance as well, especially if you are considering to sell. Planting exquisite plants that require some work will look beautiful under your green thumb, but may not go well with the new buyer. Our advice is that if you know you are planning to sell, opt for low-maintenance plants that will still look good with your home.
Finally, when landscaping in the spring, you want to take into consideration the style of your home, and plant those plants at opportune times. What we mean by this is to keep the plants consistent with the aesthetic of your home—a palm tree is going to look out of place in a Pine Barrens home. However, once you have the plants that will go perfect with your home, make sure you plant them at the best time so that they can flourish, and give a whole new life to your yard.
Spring landscaping may take a little effort, but the fruits of your labor will be well worth it. You house will undoubtedly stand out, and if you plan to sell, a well-landscaped house is always one in demand. To set up your listing after your landscaping adventures, feel free to give us a call or come on in—we would love to have a chat with you!

Many of the buildings erected when Rexburg, Idaho, was established in 1883 are now gone. However, a piece of Rexburg history, only a minute from campus, still stands.
The Old Nelson home, built around 1890, is one of Rexburg's oldest buildings.
It is the last house of its kind, according to its owners — Ms. Nelson and another woman who have lived in Rexburg most of their lives. Both declined to give their first names.
"It's the only house left on its original 2.5-acre lot," said Brenda Millward, the homeowner's niece and Rexburg local.
Nelson, one of the current homeowners, said the home has a long history.
"When Rexburg was settled, they made the city into 10-acre blocks and cut those blocks into quarters so they could live on it, have cows, and raise a garden," Nelson said. "This is the only original one left."
When Thomas E. Ricks and William B. Preston prepared to establish Rexburg 132 years ago, they brought along surveyor Andrew Anderson, the current homeowner's great uncle, and asked him to divide the city, according to Rexburg, Idaho: The First One Hundred Years.
Nelson said each 10-acre block had four homes, which allotted 2.5 acres to each family so they could raise crops on their own land.
Even today, the Nelsons use the land as their great uncle designed it to be used. They use every bit of their 2.5 acres in maintaining one of Rexburg's largest gardens.
Most students will recognize the Nelson garden for its 100-year-old apple trees, its art garden and the seemingly endless rows of vegetables and flowers and thriving vegetation, which differ from that of modern apartment buildings and businesses that
surround it.
The Nelsons said the property has changed ownership only three times in the last 125 years. The current homeowners grow some of their own food on their land, just as every owner of the property has done for more than a century.
Emren Fogle, a sophomore studying communication, said she loves seeing the Nelsons' garden.
"I love driving by their house," she said. "I see their garden, and I just think how much love and time they must have to tend it."
Greg Carron, a freshman studying psychology, said an establishment so long-standing as the Nelson home is a unique sight nowadays, especially since it stands less than one half mile away from new and polished NorthPoint apartment complex.
"Indeed, most everything else in Rexburg has changed since 1890," Nelson said.
From 2000 to 2010, Madison county grew by 48 percent, according to the U.S. Census.
The city of Rexburg has kept up with the growth of the college and has met the growing needs of a swelling student population.
The growth of Rexburg has mirrored the growth of BYU-Idaho, something that Louis Clements, Board of Director of Upper Valley Historical Society, said is not a coincidence.
Clements said most radical changes to Rexburg came when Ricks College became a four-year school and took on the name BYU-I.
As for the Nelson home, the homeowners said they have received hundreds of offers for the property from both apartment developers and businesses.
"We had a whole bunch right before it turned from Ricks to BYU-I, and three so far this year," Nelson said.
Nelson said they have no intentions of selling their property despite offers they have received.
Rexburg citizens have had mixed reactions to the growth, especially to the development of apartment complexes, which the Nelsons said have changed the face of Rexburg.
"The businessmen welcomed the change because they felt there would be an increase of business – which there has been," Clements said. "The community is divided a little bit from the point of view of those that have invested in the change and those who wanted Rexburg to stay the same as it always has."
Nelson said that despite the city's efforts to keep up with change and maintain local tradition, Rexburg is still losing out.
"People don't know each other like they used to," Nelson said. "And it's because of all the apartment buildings."
Nelson said the increase of apartment buildings has driven out and replaced local Rexburg citizens. She said such constant change has disrupted Rexburg's sense of community.
"Nowadays, you don't know your neighbors," Nelson said. "People move in, and people move out, and you don't even know who they are."
Clements said not all locals dislike the changes.
"The majority of people support the university and are aware that there's got to be expansion," he said. "In other words, most people understand that with growth comes new housing."

You have decided to adopt a child, and now you're building your adoption team to support you through the process. It's time to consult with an experienced adoption attorney, but you might be wondering how to prepare for the meeting and what to expect when you're there. Below are a few guidelines to get you started on the right track.
What to Bring
After you've scheduled a meeting with an adoption attorney, start gathering useful materials to bring with you. These may include:
- Relevant documents you have so far, including research, files, and correspondence with any agencies you've spoken to about adopting
- A pen and paper or a device on which you can take notes
- A list of questions and concerns to discuss
- Anything else that may help facilitate a productive discussion with the attorney
The initial consultation is meant to help you select the right lawyer for your situation and to share your goals for the adoption and needs during the process.
What to Ask
In a previous post, I described the merits of having a qualified attorney on your side from day one. But many good lawyers handle adoptions. Your initial consult should give you the confidence that you have made the right choice in legal representation.
Start by asking good questions. For example:
- Which types of adoption do you handle? Do you specialize in or prefer a particular type?
- What is your billing structure?
- What kind of help, support, and services do you provide through the process? What tasks would I be responsible for completing on my own?
- Who will be my primary point of contact at your firm if I have questions or need assistance? Will I speak directly to you, or will an assistant be assigned to my case?
Asking pointed questions during your initial consultation will make for a valuable discussion. It will also allow you to better understand an attorney's qualifications, attitude, and personality. You should leave the conversation having a good idea of whether he or she would be a good fit to represent you.
What to Expect
No matter whom you choose as your adoption lawyer, certain things should be constant during your consultation (and throughout your entire experience):
Your attorney should be knowledgeable. The right legal experience is critical for success, as you'll be depending on your lawyer to ensure each step of the process is completed properly and on time. Your consultation should make it clear that your attorney is highly-qualified to assist you with your adoption.
You shouldn't feel pressure. When consulting with an adoption attorney, he or she should never make you feel pressured to select their firm for representation or to make any decisions you're not ready for.
You should feel confident. In addition to representing your interests, your lawyer is also there to put you at ease about the steps to come and to keep you well-informed and supported throughout the process. You should leave your first meeting feeling positive and educated about what's to come.
Meeting with a qualified adoption attorney might be the first real step toward adopting a child, so it's important to make it count. When you know what to expect ahead of time, your first consultation can be a productive and exciting experience.

Sears Holdings Corp (NASDAQ: SHLD) is having an overwhelmingly rough start to the trading session this morning, and for good reason. As the company's financial struggles continue to ramp up, bankruptcy is nearing and the company has hired an advisor to help with the process. Of course, the news upset investors, sending the stock tumbling for the bottom. Today, we'll talk about:
- The bankruptcy;
- what we're seeing from SHLD as a result; and
- what we'll be watching for with regard to the stock ahead.
SHLD Tumbles On Bankruptcy News
As mentioned above, Sears Holdings is having an incredibly rough start to the trading session this morning as news surrounding a coming bankruptcy hits the tape. According to various reports, SHLD has hired Alan J. Carr, CEO at the restructuring specialty firm, Drivetrain Advisors. Carr has been hired to help the company prepare for the bankruptcy process.
The news comes as SHLD has taken a slow and steady run toward bankruptcy. Now, debt payment due dates are just around the corner and many are questioning whether or not the company will default on the next round of required payments. Nonetheless, it looks like bankruptcy is on the horizon.
What We're Seeing From The Stock
As investors, one of the first lessons that we learn when we start to dig into the market is that the news leads to moves. In the case of Sears Holdings, the news proved to be overwhelmingly negative. After all, bankruptcy equates to loss in the eyes of investors. So, it comes as no surprise that the stock is tumbling down in the market this morning. Of course, our partners at Trade Ideas were the first to alert us to the declines. At the moment (8:33), SHLD is trading at $0.43 per share after a loss of $0.16 per share or 26.51% thus far today.
Stop wasting your time! Start finding winning trades in minutes with Trade Ideas!
What We'll Be Watching For Ahead
Moving forward, the CNA Finance team will continue to keep a close eye on Sears Holdings. In particular, we're interested in following the story surrounding the coming bankruptcy. Nonetheless, we'll continue to follow the story closely and bring the news to you as it breaks!

My name is Blane Callen. I have owned and operated CMG Sprinklers and Drainssince 1993. I take great pride in my work. The Letters "CMG" stand for the first letter of the first name of each of my children. ( Chance, Melissa, Garrett ) = CMG
CMG Sprinklers and Drains Services all of Central Oklahoma including: Norman, Moore, Oklahoma City, Edmond, Yukon, Mustang, Del City, Midwest City, Blanchard, Newcastle, Purcell, and all surrounding areas. From time to time we will travel outside this area to install a Lawn Irrigation Systemor a Drainage System. CMG has installed Sprinklers and Drains as far away as Altus, Ardmore, and Tulsa.
Today we finished up a 5 zone Sprinkler System installation in East Norman. The job was out on 108th near Lake Thunderbird. We had lots of curious Deer watching us. I guess they know it's not hunting season. The customer took advantage of our Zone Sprinkler Discount. They paid for four sprinkler zones and got the fifth one free. We run this special from time to time, but it is always good for anyone who just asks for it even if it isn't currently being advertised.
I have amassed a great deal of experience designing and installing Sprinkler Systems, Repairing Sprinkler Systems, and designing and installing Drainage Systems. In the past 18 years, I have made mistakes, but I have learned from them. As a result I get calls, from time to time, from other Sprinkler and Drainage companies that have run into a problem that they can't handle. I am always glad to help.
I usually don't take money up front for Sprinkler Installation, Sprinkler Repair, or Drain Installation. I prefer that the customer pay me when the job is complete and they are happy with the work. In a few cases on very large jobs I request a draw or outlay for parts. The parts are delivered from my supplier to the address where the job is being done and equal the amount of the draw. The parts stay on the premises until they are installed.
Sprinkler Systems designed by CMGare SELF DRAINING. When the Sprinkler System is not running, the Sprinkler Pipes drain underground. This ensures that the Sprinkler Pipeswill not freeze in the winter. CMG Designed Sprinkler Systems are also fully automatic. Your Sprinkler System can run on its own any time you want, day that you want, or as long as you want.
CMG can also install a Rain/Freeze Sensorthat will turn off your Sprinkler System if it is too wet or too cold to water and you are not available to turn off the sprinkler system. ( If your on Vacation for example) The Rain/Freeze Sensor will also turn the Sprinkler System back on again when it gets dry enough or warm enough to water again. PRETTY COOL!
Wow, we have a new twist on sprinkler repair. Broken sprinkler pipes occur for all kinds of reasons. Sprinkler Pipes break because: 1. They freeze (usually due to poor installation) 2. Cars or trucks drive up in yards and break them. 3. They blow apart under pressure (usually because primer was not used when the pipes were glued together).
This year we have had a lot of calls to fix leaking or broken sprinkler pipes due to Earth Quake Damage. I would expect that in California, but Oklahoma? Since 1993 CMG has fixed sprinkler systemsfor all kinds of reasons. Earthquake damage is something new.
Lawn Sprinkler Systems develop problems and need maintenance from time to time. CMG can help with small sprinkler problems such as a broken sprinkler head or a sprinkler controller programming problem. We also deal with larger sprinkler problems like redesigning sprinkler zonesor replacing sprinkler valves. CMG also does sprinkler systems checkups to test your irrigation system for possible problems that you may not be aware of.
CMG Sprinklers and Drains can help with:
1. Sprinkler Controller Problems
4. Shorted or disconnected Sprinkler Valve Wires
5. Sprinkler Zones or Sprinkler Stationsthat won't work
The Sprinkler System Problems listed above are the most common Sprinkler Problems that we deal with.
CMG Sprinklers and Drains – can help if you need to re-design your Sprinkler System. If for example you are adding a swimming pool in your back yard, we can move the Sprinkler Heads and Sprinkler Pipes to fit the new dimensions of your yard. We can redesign or add-on to sprinkler systems where the home owners needs change.
If you have questions concerning sprinkler systems or drainage systems please send us an e-mail at — email@example.com
Hard rain in Oklahoma is common. Many homes and businesses have drainage problems. Standing water from storm water runoff can cause damage to grass, trees and shrubs, not to mention foundations, sidewalks and driveways. CMGcan design and install a drainage system that may be complex using several types of drains, or basic using just a French Drain or a Surface Drain. It depends on the customer's needs.
CMG utilizes: French Drains, Surface Drains, Channel Drains, Trench Drains, Basin Drains, Basement Drains, and Sump Pumps.
CMG services Central Oklahoma, including: Oklahoma City, Norman, Moore, Midwest City, Del City, Edmond, Mustang, Yukon, Purcell, Blanchard, Newcastle, and all surrounding areas.

Experimental data on dust resident in the EXTRAP T2R reversed-field pinch are reported. Mobile dust grains are captured in situ by silicon collectors, whereas immobile grains are sampled post mortem from the wall by adhesive tape. The simulation of collection asymmetries by the MIGRAINe dust dynamics code in combination with the experimental results is employed to deduce some characteristics of the mechanism of intrinsic dust release. All evidence suggests that re-mobilization is dominant with respect to dust production.
During several decades of research and development in the field of Magnetically Confined Fusion (MCF) the preferred selection of materials for Plasma Facing Components (PFC) has changed repeatedly. Without doubt, endurance of the first wall will decide research availability and lifespan of the first International Thermonuclear Research Reactor (ITER). Materials erosion, redeposition and mixing in the reactor are the critical processes responsible for modification of materials properties under plasma impact. This thesis presents several diagnostic techniques and their applications for studies of materials transport in fusion devices. The measurements were made at the EXTRAP T2R Reversed Field Pinch operated in Alfvén laboratory at KTH (Sweden), the TEXTOR tokamak, recently shut down at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) and in the JET tokamak at CCFE (UK). The main outcomes of the work are:
Plasma-material interaction constitutes one of the major scientific and technological issues affecting the development of thermonuclear fusion power plants. In particular, the release of metallic dust and droplets from plasmafacing components is a crucial aspect of reactor operation. By penetrating into the burning plasma, these micrometric particles act as a source of impurities which tend to radiate away the plasma energy, cooling it down below the threshold temperatures for sustainable fusion reactions. By accumulating in the reactor chamber, dust particles tend to retain fuel elements, lowering the reactor efficiency and increasing its radioactivity content. Dust accumulation also increases the risk of explosive hydrogen production upon accidental air or water ingress in the vacuum chamber. Numerical dust transport codes provide the essential framework to guide theoretical and experimental dust studies by simulating the intricate couplings between the many physical processes driving dust dynamics in fusion plasmas. This thesis reports on the development and validation of the MIGRAINe code, which specifically targets plasma-surface interaction processes and the physics of dust particles impinging on plasma-facing components to address long-term dust migration and accumulation in fusion devices.

Craig Lowndes and Shane van Gisbergen's bid to add to their Bathurst 12 Hour victory tallies on Sunday will come with trackside support from Triple Eight boss Roland Dane.
The Supercars team-mates have three victories between them - Lowndes in 2014 and '17 and van Gisbergen in '16 - and will share a YNA Autosport McLaren with factory driver Come Ledogar.
While the crew on the car is a combination of factory McLaren GT and McElrea Racing staff, Dane and Lowndes' regular engineer John McGregor will help run the entry on Sunday.
Dane and McGregor were prominent parts of the joint Maranello Motorsport/Triple Eight Ferrari squad that won last year, while the former has overseen six Bathurst 1000 victories.
McElrea Racing is also fielding the Pro-Am class YNA McLaren that features Scott McLaughlin, the Objective Racing McLaren and the Competition Motorsports Porsche this weekend.
McElrea has recruited more Supercars brainpower to fill-out the team that, including drivers, totals 65 people.
Strategy for McLaughlin's entry will be guided by renowned Supercars engineer Campbell Little, who last year worked at the 12 Hour on Tekno Autosports' McLarens.
New Tekno chief Adrian Burgess is, meanwhile, spearheading the Objective entry, which boasts Brad Jones Racing's Tim Slade and Walkinshaw co-driver Warren Luff in its line-up.
That car will be engineered by Wes McDougall, who guided Todd Hazelwood to last year's Super2 title and will continue with the youngster in the main series with Matt Stone Racing this season.
"It's extremely exciting to have these guys involved, both in terms of drivers and staff," McElrea told Supercars.com of the additions.
"We've got some very experienced blokes in key places, which is obviously what you need for a race like this."
McElrea Racing is this year celebrating its 10th year of operation, having first run a single Super2 entry for Daniel Gaunt in 2009.
It fielded a then 16-year-old McLaughlin in two Mini Challenge rounds the following year in preparation for his Super2 debut.
"It's neat for him to come on board all these years down the road," added McElrea of McLaughlin.
"We call him MR3 because he was the third driver to race for us and all the drivers that come through here get a tag.
"We've raced against Shane here before and he knows the McLaren very well, so he's the perfect fit for our program too.
"With Craig, I didn't know him personally before this came together, but you can instantly see why he's so highly regarded.
"He fitted into the team seamlessly and you'd think there'd be some ego there, but he's just one of the boys, which is awesome.
"Tim and Warren are regulars with us and are really, really good guys too. We're looking forward to a big weekend."
All three of Triple Eight's Supercars drivers will be in the race this weekend, with Jamie Whincup sharing a factory-backed Mercedes-AMG run by Scott Taylor Motorsport.

Vets, local residents rally to the rats
The rat is, perhaps and through no fault of its own, one of the most loathed and belittled creatures on the planet. Yet, recent events prove there are people who don't share that opinion.
A few residents of Orangeville's Townline and Cardwell Street neighbourhood launched a recent rat rescue when it was discovered a litter of baby pet rats had apparently been abandoned by their owner to fend for themselves.
It took four days, but they were able to recover four of the little critters from the fields behind their homes.
"They are very friendly, cute and cuddly," said Sheri Taylor, who took part in the search. In fact, the Taylor family has adopted two of them and named them Lili and Mable.
"They deserved better than to be tossed out like garbage," said Ms. Taylor.
"As parents and grandparents, we try to teach our children compassion for all living things. Yet, situations like this arise and we need to explain why someone would do this."
It's not just a compassion for life that makes the abandonment of these animals worthy of harsh criticism.
As adorable as Lili and Mable are, they might have survived, thrived and multiplied. The pets could have easily transformed into resourceful, wild animals capable of transmitting diseases and causing havoc in neighbourhood.
(A group of rats, after all, is called a nuisance and there are plenty of reasons to consider that an adept term.)
Meanwhile, the story of these rescued rats almost didn't have the happy ending that was expected.
It turned out Lili and Mable were experiencing health problems. "I was told that it was going to cost more money than I could afford to treat these cute little critters and my only option was to have them put to sleep.
"I was wondering how I was going to explain to my 10- year-old daughter that, out of doing a good deed, something horrible was going to happen?"
Once again, though, help for the rats were forthcoming. The Caledon Mountain Veterinary Hospital came through and provided the necessary treatment and Lili and Mable are back home snuggling up to Ms. Taylor's daughter, Brandalyn.
In a correspondence with the Caledon vets, Ms. Taylor wrote: "Not only did you help out financially and treat the rats, but you also gave me the chance to reconfirm that when you do something good for others that good things can truly happen."

|Zooming in Somaliland
A DEMONSTRATOR OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT IN LONDON DEMANDS SELF-DECLARED REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND TO BE RECOGNISED - March 17, 2004
President Dahir Rayaale
Battles between Rival Clans around Berbera and Hargeysa
London BBC World Service in English
1515 GMT 26 Nov 1992
[From the "Focus on Africa" program]
Somaliland's leader, Abdirahman Tur, has been having a hard time of it recently. His administration and its self-declared independent territory has been losing control of law and order. There have been battles between rival clans around the Port of Berbera and the capital, Hargeysa, and claims that Abdirahman Tur has been fanning the flames. Well, Ahmed Silanyo, the founding chairman of the Somali National Movement [SNM], which established Somaliland, stepped aside in favor of Abdirahman Tur, and he was one of the mediators trying to end the fighting between the clans. He is in London at the moment and Robin White asked Ahmed Silanyo if he accepted that there had been a civil war in Somaliland:
[Silanyo] Definitely, I would describe it as a form of civil war, as you said; not as bad as the situation in the south, but all the same it was a form of civil war.
[White] How many people would you estimate died in this fighting?
[Silanyo] I find it very difficult to give any sort of reliable estimate, but I want to guess it might have not been less than 1,000 people all together, you know.
[White] As I understand, it was a kind of power struggle between two clans-the (Sacad Musa) clan and the (Habar Yonis) clan, and they were all fighting for more influence on the government. Now, has one clan gained more influence at the expense of another in the settlement that you have had?
[Silanyo] I prefer not to put it that way. In my view, this kind of fighting may not actually originate from the clans themselves as such but actually, it basically came from irresponsibility on the part of the government which organized an invasion force from Hargeysa in the Berbera area-officially to bring the country under the control of the government-but by using clan militia from certain clans only and not including this others, and that is how the fighting started and how it broke out. [sentence as heard] But luckily, because of the great deal of effort on the part of many, many people it has now been brought to an end.
[White] So are you blaming the president for the trouble there has been?
[Silanyo] I am aware of those [pauses] ...the president cannot avoid the responsibility. Not the president only, but I think the government in general and, of course, many other people, but basically because the government was responsible and the actions that were takenhow the fighting was started was by dispatching forces from one area to another, and those forces were not national forces in the true sense of the word. [sentence as heard] So naturally that is how the fighting started and, therefore, they cannot escape the blame.
[White] You supported Abdirahman Tur when he became president. Have you now withdrawn your support from him?
[Silanyo] Indeed, I did support him at the time. Yes. I was not the only one who supported him, but I did give him my support. So, yes, I have withdrawn my support then since because I never thought that things could be as bad as this and when I found out that his leadership was not providing the necessary leadership for the nation, and I particularly-apart from all the other things-I particularly hold this internal strife that the president himself is responsible for it. [sentence as heard] That is why I have withdrawn my support from him.
[White] Are you working to get rid of him as president?
[Silanyo] Not in the sense of getting rid of him. Actually, frankly speaking, I and many other people tried to correct the situation as best we could, and to make sure that stability came back to the country and so on. We tried our (?very) best, and we cooperated with them later on in whatever activity we thought, may be, could save the situation. But in any case, he has not got much time left and...
[White, interrupting] What do you mean by he has not got much time left?
[Silanyo] In the sense that the time for which the transitional government was appointed is due to end in April, but...
[White, interrupting] So there will be fresh elections for a leader then, will there?
[Silanyo] There will be fresh elections for a leadership, for a new leadership. But not only that, but there is going to be another meeting, a national conference which has been called by the elders of the communities of the various countries [as heard] for January 9 in Boramo.
[White] So you think that at this meeting in January he will be forced out, you think?
[Silanyo] I hope to think that a new situation would be created, which [pauses]...Personally (?I would hope) for the safety of our people. (?I hope for it).
[White] But what about yourself? You were once leader of the SNM. Will you be standing for office once you [words indistinct]?
[Silanyo] No, I have made it clear that I have no intention of standing now, at any rate. But certainly, I am willing to give whatever service I can. You know, I behave [pauses] ...I sort of work in many ways as a statesman, and I try to help through with the situation but I am not standing. I have made that very clear.
[White] Do you have any particular person in mind who might take over affairs?
[Silanyo] As I said I don't have any particular person in mind right now. Even if I had, I would not say it right now. [end recording]
Somaliland President Comments on 21 Feb Attack
London BBC World Service in English
1515 GMT 22 Feb 1994
[From the "Focus on Africa" program]
A security situation in the self-declared territory Somaliland is becoming a cause of increasing concern to the SNM [Somali National Movement] Government. In spite of an ultimatum to renegade militias to hand in their weapons, many have set up their own checkpoints to extort money from travelers and last night, an armed attack is reported to have taken place on the residence of Somaliland's President Mohamed Egal. On the line to Hargeysa, Rageh Omar asked the president what actually happened.
[Egal] What happened.... [pauses] I will tell you exactly what happened. You know, this is Ramadan now. People usually stay up late at night, you know, and some young ex-militia who had had a very pleasant night and a lot to drink, much more than was good for them, were driving in this kind of car and, as they were passing the street before the president's house, you know, the residence, one of them fired a shot at the gate. The bullet went through the gate and grazed, just grazed, one of the guards who were standing next to the gate, and then they were chased and four of them were arrested and one of them was arrested next morning.
[Omar] So what you are saying is that an attack took place, but it is not as serious as might seem to be the case.
[Egal] They were just five young boys, you know, who had had too much to drink, and as they were passing.... They really did not come here to attack us. They were just passing along the road. One of them, as they were passing the gates of the Presidency, fired the shot.
[Omar] But some people might interpret it as being very, very serious because, as you say, the five men were ex-militias. You have been launching a campaign to demobilize and decamp the militias which are still out on the streets of Hargeysa and other towns in Somaliland, and some of them have been very unhappy about these efforts by you. Could there not be serious sort of, you know, political undertones to the attack?
[Egal] No, I am afraid that is exactly what it is not. You know, there were these young chaps who did not come here to attack. There was no concerted and planned attack on the Presidency. It was just these young boys passing along the street and as they were passing one of them fired that shot and then they ran away. Of course, we are in the middle of this demobilization and disarmament, but it is not being done against the will of anybody. We are doing it through persuasion, through dialogue, through peaceful means. There are people who describe themselves as opposition here. I do not know what they are opposing. We are now trying to knit together a very, very delicate fabric of a nation which has been completely destroyed.
[Omar] So you will continue to demobilize these soldiers from mounting these custom posts and taking money off people at checkpoints and you will be sleeping very comfortably at the Presidency this evening without worry?
[Egal] Yes, I had been sleeping last night and all the nights before that and I am going to sleep very comfortably tonight, too. People might call me a bloody bastard but they will not shoot at me. [end recording]
President Dispatches Troops to Airport, Comments
London BBC World Service in English
1705 GMT 22 Sep 1994
[From the "Focus on Africa" program]
[Text] Since President Mohamed Egal came to power in Somaliland, the country has been relatively calm though internationally unrecognized. He slammed the United Nations UNOSOM [UN Operation Somalia] people out, and a virtual civil war between rival clans has subsided, but a thorn in the flesh of the authorities has been the airport at Hargeysa, which has been under the control of militias. Planes have been flying in and out willy-nilly, and President Egal has apparently decided enough is enough. He is reported to have sent troops to the airport to stop the planes. On the line to Hargeysa, Dan Isaac asked President Egal how many of his soldiers were now at the airport.
[Begin recording) [Egal] I don't really have exact number but let's say there are three battalions. I think that in all there might be about three or four, you know, between 300 and 400 soldiers, you know, in three different areas, you know, around the airport.
[Isaac] And what is your plan? To attack the militia at the airport or not?
[Egal] At the moment, you know, I don't want to [word indistinct] who is it. At the moment, you know, the order of these battalions, you know, is to prevent any aircraft landing at the airport. I don't want to anticipate anything but we must have the airport in our government control.
[Isaac] So how will you prevent aircraft landing at the airport?
[Egal] Well, yesterday one (?plane was) landing, you know, and there was a warning shot, you know, and I think he had the good sense to go back. This morning, I think again an attempt has been made but both times, you know, I think they have been persuaded that they go back.
[Isaac] Now, who are your soldiers firing or firing warning shots at? Who are these people who are trying to land?
[Egal] They are the Somaliland National Security Force. You know, they are composed of all the ethnic groups, you know, in Somaliland-Bamba, (From), the (Wersengeli) of the far south, you know, to the (Orisa), you know, in the far north.
[Isaac] Now, also trying to land at the airport on occasions must be United Nations planes or humanitarian aid planes. How do you know you are not going to be firing at them?
[Egal] No, now we have provided the United Nations agencies, you know, and the NGO [nongovernmental organization]'s, you know... [pauses] We authorize them an alternative airport for them, you know, at a place, you know, about 30 kilometers on the west of Hargeysa, and they are using that airport, you know. They are not breaking our sanction against this airport. They are not doing that. These are pirate planes which have been hired by individuals, you know, who are being instigated by UNOSOM, you know, and some other forces hostile to Somaliland.
[Isaac] Now, if your forces are firing at what you say are hostile forces trying to land and presumably they all start firing back, is this not rather dangerous escalation in the fighting?
[Egal] We are not attacking anybody in his own home ground. This is our own country, you know, and anybody who fires back at us, you know, is asking for it. You know, I mean, we are not attacking any foreign country, we are just trying to regulate traffic in our own international airport, you know, and if anybody attacks us or fires at us, well, may the best man win.

Refinishing Your Basement With Spray Foam
Refinishing Your Basement With Spray Foam
Refinishing your basement is no small undertaking, and one of the most important (and overlooked) factors is what sort of insulation will help create the most comfortable environment in your new rooms. Whether you're renovating your basement for an in-law suite, a family den or games room, or a teenager who wants some privacy, you want a basement that is welcoming, cozy, and protected from flooding as much as possible.
The ideal insulation to help accomplish all of these things is spray foam insulation like Icynene. But can spray foam insulation be used in a basement? It's the perfect place, actually. Icynene spray foam is the best choice for many reasons. First of all, open cell Icynene spray foam can help dampen noise transmission, helping to keep your home quieter.
Secondly, Icynene expands within seconds of application to fill gaps and holes where it is applied, creating an effective air seal. This can reduce the likelihood of drafts and cold or hot spots, something which is especially important in a basement.
Finally, Icynene closed cell spray foam helps reject bulk water, which makes it ideal for flood-prone areas like your basement. In addition, FEMA has identified closed cell spray foam as a flood resistant material, so you can feel comfortable knowing that your home is protected from water damage.
If you're wondering to yourself, "How much does it cost to spray foam a basement?" the best action to take is to find a licensed Icynene spray foam insulation contractor in your area to consult with you on your particular project.

- Red Star Express
Red Star Express will soon be opening offices in francophone countries such as the Benin Republic and Burkina Faso as the company seeks to expand beyond the shores of Nigeria. This was made known by Sola Obabori, Group Managing Director, Red Star Express Plc, in his address to staff at the Staff Forum held last week Thursday.
He stated that the company is looking to increase its revenue providers by opening offices in the francophone countries, just as it has done in the Niger Republic. "Very soon, we will be sending some of you to work in these new offices as they open, so you better start learning French!" he mentioned.
He went to advise staff to be cautious of how they handle company assets and items. "It is important that we take care of the company's assets because if you ruin any of them, it comes out of your paycheck. It also affects our operations; especially when it involves assets such as bikes. Please let us be careful." He added.

Trade secrets can be vital to the success of any business, not just large corporations. Unfortunately, many business owners do not take proper steps to protect this valuable intellectual property. In fact, they may not even realize it should be protected.
A wide range of intangible assets can be considered trade secrets, from recipes or formulas for company products to methods of operation to customer and price lists. If you haven't already, your company can take several practical steps to safeguard these assets.
A blog post by the U.S. Small Business Administration offers 5 steps for protecting your trade secrets. These tips include the following:
- Identify your company's trade secrets – Think about your operations and what information would compromise that if it got into a competitor's hands. Create a list of your company's trade secrets. Be selective in what information you chose, so you don't trivialize the protection of valuable information.
- Keep trade secrets confidential – Label trade secrets as "confidential" and keep them in a secure place. Store hard copy information in a locked and secure area. Limit access to electronic files and make sure it is password protected.
- Educate employees about information protection – Have employees sign a nondisclosure agreement and a company policy regarding protection and proper handling of trade secret materials. Provide refresher classes on company policy and the need for confidentiality.
- Understand the law – Historically, trade secrets have not required a national or international registration. State laws typically govern these matters according to the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Beginning in 2017, however, the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 will add additional legal protection at the federal level.
- Take action against trade secret violations – If you discover a competitor is using your trade secrets, act quickly through a letter requesting the competitor "cease and desist" their actions. If trade secrets were obtained through improper means, or misappropriation, you may be entitled to injunctive relief and damages. Contact an experienced intellectual property attorney advocate for your rights throughout the process.

|USS Kelvin
|Federation Starfleet
USS Kelvin (NCC-514) was a Saladin-class destroyer on active duty in Starfleet during at least the 23rd century.
Ship was originally configured as an Avery-class survey ship USS Kelvin (NCC-0514) and listed as "Missing in Action" until recovered some years later. It was one of the last of the Avery class vessels still in existence and was in such good condition, it was uprated instead of retired. It is an unusual refit in that it retained its secondary hull, unlike other Saladin-class vessels and has a full complement of various shuttlecraft and fighters. (Starship Saladin)
The USS Rahman was scheduled to be constructed with the designation NCC-514 but just prior to construction, the recovery of the Kelvin prompted the Rahman to be redesignated NCC-574. (Starship Saladin)
|Saladin-class starships
|USS Alaric - USS Alexander - USS Darius - USS Hannibal - USS Jenghiz - USS Kelvin - USS Liberty - USS Lysander - USS Rahman - USS Saladin - USS Shaitan - USS Tamerlane - USS Xerxes

Background informationEdit
Changing the number of the USS Rahman was necessary because the number was superseded by the latest film for use on the USS Kelvin. Making the number NCC-574 makes it a simple matter of fixing only one number in the printed documentation if one so desires and not losing the ship entirely. Rahman will appear in an upcoming episode of Starship Saladin. While Kelvin does not appear in the Star Fleet Technical Manual the number does and the overall ship design fits it into a destroyer configuration with only minor modification to keep it in line with the rest of the destroyer fleet. Both Kelvin and Rahman have important roles in the Starship Saladin episodes.
