A good time was had by all at the July Barbecue held at the Hall. Thanks to Jenny Aho for many great photos. You can view them all by clicking here.
The July newsletter and calendar is now on the website. Due to work pressures, I am unable to continue as publisher and have handed over my templates to Nancy Pharo who has kindly put together this month's issue. I made a lot of changes in the layout and design over the past six months, not all of them popular! But it was a fun project and I want to thank Gayle Crawford and Ann Murphy for their help and support. The Social Club is still seeking a permanent editor. Please call Sharon Cornelius if you are interested. 935-9505.
In related news, the Temelec HOA Board is working on developing their own means of communicating directly with the residents, the separate newsletter being the first step. This website will no longer include HOA documents and alerts in anticipation of the Board's plans to have their own means of communicating with residents electronically.
Thank you to many of you who wrote and called over the past year or so with kind words about the website and newsletter, and contributed photos and articles. I shall continue to manage this website and always welcome your suggestions.
Older People Become What They Think

Older People Become What They Think, Study Shows. By JUDITH GRAHAM
Research shows that older people who have positive outlooks on aging eat healthier, exercise more and recover more quickly from illnesses.
All of us have beliefs — many of them subconscious, dating back to childhood — about what it means to get older. Psychologists call these "age stereotypes." And, it turns out, they can have an important effect on seniors' health.
When stereotypes are negative — when seniors are convinced becoming old means becoming useless, helpless or devalued — they are less likely to seek preventive medical care and die earlier, and more likely to suffer memory loss and poor physical functioning, a growing body of research shows.
When stereotypes are positive — when older adults view age as a time of wisdom, self-realization and satisfaction — results point in the other direction, toward a higher level of functioning. The latest report, in The Journal of the American Medical Association, suggests that seniors with this positive bias are 44 percent more likely to fully recover from a bout of disability.
For people who care about and interact with older people, the message is clear: your attitude counts because it can activate or potentially modify these deeply held age stereotypes.
The researcher who has done more than anyone else to advance our understanding of this is Becca Levy, an associate professor of epidemiology and psychology at Yale University.
In the mid-1990s, she began a series of experiments with older people in laboratory settings. The idea was to expose them subliminally to negative or positive stereotypes by flashing words associated with aging on a computer screen too fast for them to process consciously. Then these seniors were asked to perform a task.
Those exposed to negative words such as "decrepit" had poorer handwriting, slower walking speeds, higher levels of cardiovascular stress and a greater willingness to reject hypothetical medical interventions that could prolong their lives. Those primed with positive words such as "wisdom" did much better.
The experiments involved external stimuli, however, and Dr. Levy was interested in peoples' subjective experience of older age. For that, she turned to a database of adults age 50 and older in Oxford, Ohio, who were followed for a period of 23 years, from 1975 to 1998.
Many had filled out questionnaires at the start of the study designed to elicit stereotypes about aging. This involved soliciting a "yes" or "no" answer to a series of statements like "things keep getting worse as I get older," or "as you get older, you get less useful."
When Dr. Levy looked at 660 participants, she found that those with positive age stereotypes lived 7.5 years longer than those with negative stereotypes. The research was published in The Journal of Personal and Social Psychology in 2002.
What might account for this finding? In her paper, Dr. Levy speculated that people with positive age stereotypes have a stronger will to live, and that this might affect their ability to adapt to the rigors of older age. Also, people with negative age stereotypes may have a heightened cardiovascular response to stress, with attendant ill health effects.
In other research using this data set, Dr. Levy established that people with positive age stereotypes were more likely to eat a balanced diet, exercise, limit their alcohol consumption, stop smoking and get regular physical exams, and that they had a higher level of physical functioning over time. Results were controlled for other factors like illness, gender, race and socioeconomic status.
In these papers, Dr. Levy hypothesized that positive age stereotypes are associated with a greater sense of control and that this enhanced seniors' sense of self efficacy — their ability to remain captains of their own ship, as it were.
Her new findings about the impact of age stereotypes on older adults' recovery from disability is an extension of this body of work. In this case, Dr. Levy and her co-authors followed 598 adults age 70 and older in New Haven, Conn., from 1998 to 2008. Disability was defined as needing help with basic activities of daily living like bathing, dressing and walking, and its onset was typically precipitated by an illness or injury.
Again, seniors with positive age stereotypes were much more likely to have good results and recover fully.
Dr. Marie Bernard, a geriatrician who serves as deputy director of the National Institute on Aging, said she found the report "quite intriguing" and that it confirmed her clinical observations in more than 30 years of medical practice. But she cautioned that it is a small study that needs to be replicated.
"What we really need to understand is the mechanism," she said. "Is it something that is malleable and, if so, could we help people live longer, healthier lives?"
Researchers don't have an answer to that yet. But many believe that part of the answer has to lie in tackling ageism – which is pervasive in our youth-oriented culture — early on, from earliest childhood.
"Even young kids have negative associations; they tell you that older adults are sick, slow, forgetful, no good," said Dana Kotter-Gruehn, a visiting assistant professor in the department of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University.
Also generations need to be brought together so that "people can experience what it means to be an older person" and stereotypes can be dispelled, Dr. Kotter-Gruehn said. This has been shown to help change people's stereotypes about race and homosexuality, she noted.
Closer to home, all of us who interact with older people can "think about how to reinforce the more positive aspects of aging," Dr. Levy said.
"If all of us became a little more aware of the implications of our communications" — the tone of voice we use with seniors, the attitude we adopt, the use of loaded phrases or expressions, the extent to which we give older adults our full, undivided attention — "that would help quite a lot."

For some, cold water diving is a refreshing change from the cerulean waters of the tropics, offering once-in a-lifetime encounters with some of Nature's largest, rarest and downright weirdest. Many that take the plunge down narrow holes in the ice or leap into polynyas (open water surrounded by ice) may be seen by others as insane, but to those who know – diving below the ice or through narrow canyons in cold water is one of the greatest thrills a diver can ever experience.
We bring you eight of the best cold-water dive destinations:
Channel Islands, California
Water temperature: 10 – 21°C
Dive through the kelp forest as sun rays burst through the thick kelp canopy overhead. Watch seals weave through the hanging underwater roots and schools of fish huddle in close formation as they negotiate their way around this cooling hideout.

British Columbia, Canada
Water temperature: Average 7°C
Home to some of the most unique diving in the world; including shipwrecks, giant octopods, winding canyons, grand walls and sea lions – British Columbia is a cold-water diver's divine mecca.
Source: Scuba Dive BC
Milford Sound, New Zealand
Water temperature: 15 – 20°C
Hosting an array of cold-water dive sites, New Zealand's South Island is revered as having some of the best diving in the world. Milford Sound is often talked about as the Island's "headline site" to experience; the surrounding mountains block the sun, and large amounts of rainfall drain into the fiord, creating a permanent layer of freshwater above the clear but dark seawater. As a result species like black coral, which is typically found at depths of over 100 metres, have migrated to shallower waters.

Temperature: -2.2 – -1.6°C
To dive below thick sheets of ice that only industrial diggers can successfully drill through is a particularly isolating, yet thrilling experience. Those that dare take on Antarctica's icy waters and constantly changing icescapes will witness a variety of marine life, from the small critters to the larger mammals.

Temperature: 8 – 11°C
In the chilled waters full of coastal wrecks, expect to catch a glimpse of ghost sharks eerily hanging on the horizon of your visibility, or large king crabs guarding coral kingdoms. Travel in January to catch orcas hunting down the annual herring migration.

Silfra, Iceland
Temperature: 2 – 4°C
Glide down the famous canyon that splits two grand continents. The fissure in Iceland's Thinguellir National Park is where the continental plates of Europe and America face off. Forming a beautifully fractured half-pipe that boasts incredible visibility up to 100 metres.

Temperature: 2 – 3°C
The vibrant underwater world of Alaska boasts a variety of species both large and small. The fearsome "white shark of the north", the salmon shark – known for its speed, agility and cunning ambush tactics on migratory prey – are frequently spotted on dives.
Source: AmazingPlanet4U
Scapa Flow, Scotland
Temperature: 4 – 14°C
The ghost of Britain's onetime chief naval base lingers at the natural harbour of Scapa Flow. A wreck diver's dream, the cold, accessible war graves from World War II are a "chilling" reminder of how the ocean holds on to the memories of our past.

Can you trust your memories? Can you trust memories of family members who have left behind their stories?
I recently read the memoir, Educated, by Tara Westover. It was a grueling read and depressing to the end. I struggled through learning about Westover's disturbing rural "survivalist" childhood of abuse and neglect. The stories were intense, emotional, and left me exhausted. But Westover's alluring writing kept me reading. It was like staring at a bad car accident when you know you should look away. I will never forget the book yet can't decide if I could recommend it to others.
Westover sometimes started a scene by explaining how she remembered the past, but then added that a sibling remembered it differently and told what those differences were. She would even occasionally ask herself if her memory was to be trusted, which then gave her the drive to find evidence of past experiences to back up her memories.
When I looked online at reviews and what people were saying about Educated, I realized the book has become controversial. Some of Westover's siblings and family friends are claiming Educated to be all lies. Perhaps that is to be expected—and I am making no judgement here.
How do we deal with remembering the past differently than others who were part of that experience? If those others can't accept our reality, they may try to change the past by denying it. As Westover put it, "reality becomes fluid." Educated may be an extreme example, but most of us know memory can be fickle. In grad school, I learned that because memory is not reliable, you can only represent an event. There are as many versions of an event as there are people who took part. We were also taught to approximate dialogue that we no longer remembered word for word.
Memories can be fragmentary and sometimes influenced by how we want things to have been. Mary Karr, the author of The Liar's Club, said, "To minimize regrets and justify our behaviors, we sometimes convince ourselves of alternative explanations."
But how else do we learn, but from our memories or the experiences of others? Even if our memories are not fully formed with all the facts, they often capture our motivations and desires. They may create an image that is consistent with what we felt an experience meant. There is much to be learned by examining our life. And when we write of emotional truth—no one else should argue.
There's no need to analyze all writing coming from memory for accuracy, but it doesn't hurt to understand how memory works. Stories are usually written in hindsight—understanding and reflecting on experiences. And there's no question that by writing about our lives we become more aware and gain clarity and knowledge.
If we are writing about ancestors from stories that they handed down, how do we know their narratives are accurate? Is there a concern that we might be twisting the reality of the past? Like any good researcher, we need to look for the evidence. You may find that the dates don't line up, or that the third-great-grandfather who didn't believe in slavery did in fact own slaves. Interview relatives, read diaries, letters, documents, newspaper accounts, and check public records such as census, vital, court, taxes, municipal registry of deeds and land, or books on local history. If you can't authenticate something, use attributions such as: I believe, or it stands to reason, or it's possible that…
My family holds hatred for a man who lived in the mid-1800s. It was said that he took land from my ancestor, a poor widow whose husband owed just one more mortgage payment when he died. Because the mortgage was not fully paid, the entire mortgage was forfeited and the house and land taken from the widow. When I did the research, I found there was no record of that "hated" gentleman ever owning the land to begin with.
Not everything is in a record. When oral history is passed down, details are lost or separate experiences are woven together. The telling may become distorted, amplified, and move further from the truth. Many have been guilty of romanticizing the past.
I'm convinced some of the best stories aren't documented because they were meant to be kept secret. To tell a good story, we need the details that probably aren't available. This is where the decision may be made to write the story as historical fiction rather than biography or creative nonfiction.
Nowadays we read memoirs of harsh realities and best sellers that often tell of dysfunctional families and squalid childhoods, but it wasn't long ago that families kept these things secret at all costs. To keep quiet was a loyalty to the family or a way to keep the peace. Now it seems we are ready to arrive at a larger truth about families and all their defects. On social media many "tell all" and don't seem to miss the loss of privacy. Even then, perhaps it's not all truth.

The silliest argument ever
[ 2 min read ]
What is the silliest argument two people (or more) can have?
It's the one that concerns the future. When they're acting like prophets.
Our predictions are not statements of what will definitely happen in the future. They can't be. They are merely our guesses.
Our guesses can be accurate. But if they can be accurate it also means that they can be inaccurate.
None of us is able to rule out, with 100% certainty, a plausible scenario offered by our adversary.
Arguing about future events (especially if both sides are not talking about things like all human beings suddenly switching to walking on their hands instead of their legs) is pointless. It's like telling someone that 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 17, 22 can't be the winning sequence of numbers in a lottery. If (as long as) the balls carrying these numbers can be picked by the machine, it can happen that it will be the winning sequence of numbers in the next lottery.
Why do we have such a big problem realizing that such argument is pointless and is the silliest argument ever?
Because we tend to treat that what is ours (also, or especially, our ideas, beliefs) with special adoration. So when we have an opinion / vision about what will happen in the future (and that's what we believe will happen — taking into account our knowledge / expertise) we will tell people that this is exactly what will happen, and if they think otherwise they must be either dumb or unknowledgeable (lack the education, or the knowledge, or the brains that we obviously possess). We're so goddamn smart.
We think we're so smart but we fail to realize how silly it is to argue about the future events. We're not prophets, so we can only guess.
How many real prophets do you (the reader of this piece) know? Someone who is 100% right / accurate in his or her predictions. I don't know a single one. I assume that you don't know a single one either, because if such person existed we all would know about him or her.

Go Team!Added: Last 3 YearsUpdated: Last 3 Years
I know the Super Bowl is a big deal for many people... but I realized just how out of touch I am with the world of professional sports the other day when someone reminded me that the show is still mostly sold out on Super Bowl afternoon. So much of my connection with American society seems at at least one remove. I tend to run shows on the weekends and evenings... which prevents me from seeing any prime time shows and news reporting. What I do see is typically online as I try to keep tabs on national/international events and what politics I can stomach (I am neutral good, make if that what you will) or binge watched a year after the fact (or more).
And more importantly... I've realized I'm ok with that. I'm not quite ready to find a small lake and live out my later years doing nothing but writing and living a simple life outside of society... but I'm a lot closer to it than I realized. If someone is setting up a small closed community and looking for well read, broad skill set individuals to fill some holes, let me know where to send my resume.
For this week's Whateley Universe, we have some new Gen 2 content for you from Wasamon "The Quantum Suicides". You'll be getting this piece in two parts... and you can find part one in the Second Generation section now. Don't forget to comment or post feedback in the forums. Enjoy!

Repatriation denotes the process of moving back to the country of origin. It can occur voluntarily – when you make the decision to leave the country you have been living in and return to your homeland, or forcedly – when your host country requires you to leave for legal reasons. Finally, the term repatriation is sometimes used in connotation with the return of bodily remains of deceased to the country of origin – for more information on the latter, click here.
When you decide to repatriate voluntarily, you will find that the process of returning home involves nearly as much bureaucracy as when you first left the country. For this reason, it is recommendable to start planning your departure several months in advance.
Top of the to-do list is taking care of immigration matters. If you have lived abroad for a longer period and given up your original citizenship, you should look into current entry requirements for your country of origin. You might also want to consider restoring your original citizenship. For this purpose, have a look at the respective Immigration authority website. Indian expats repatriating to India can apply for restoration of Indian citizenship, see the Ministry of Home Affairs website.
At the same time, your host country might require you to deregister prior to departure. Expats living in India should check the requirements with their local Foreigner Regional Registration Offices.
Another important step is to take care of your accommodation arrangements. If you are renting, make sure to inform your landlord about your departure within the agreed notice period; otherwise you might incur additional costs. Similarly, if you were renting out a property in your home country, inform your tenants of your return in due time. In case you own property in your host country, it is a good idea to put it on the market a few months prior to departure as it might take a while to sell. At the same time, make an early start on house hunting back home. For further useful information, see our Accommodation articles related to your respective country.
It is further important to inform the tax authorities that you are leaving the country. Note that if you depart in the middle of a particular tax year, you might still have tax obligations in that country for the remainder of that tax year. At the same time, you should register with the tax authorities back home. Make sure to look into current tax regulations as these might have changed since your departure. For tax matters in India, see Taxation in India and the Website of the Department of Revenue.
Remember also to cancel all subscriptions and services in your host country. Think of your newspaper subscriptions, sports club memberships, internet and TV provider, TV license, mobile phone contract, and so on. Make sure to look into cancellation policies well in advance as certain service providers might have a set notice period. At the same time, start researching service providers in your home country and comparing the services and prices they offer.
It is also important to inform your bank that you are leaving the country. You should consider whether you want to keep your bank account open for a while longer, in particular if you are still expecting income in that country. However, note that certain banks may charge their clients extra if they live abroad.
Another thing to keep in mind is to inform everyone that your address has changed! In this respect it is recommendable to arrange for your mail to be forwarded to your new address for a certain period. If you are an expat departing from India you can have a look at mail forwarding options on the India Post website.
Finally, you will have to take care of the shipment of your personal items, vehicles, and pets. For useful advice on this, consult our Expat Briefing articles on Relocation and select the applicable country you are returning to.
Sections in RELOCATION IN INDIA:
» International Relocation for Expats in India
» Repatriation for Expats in India
» Expats Relocating with Families and Pets in India
If you are considering moving to India or are soon to depart, you can find helpful information and advice in the Expat Briefing dedicated Indian section including; details of immigration and visas, Indian forums, Indian event listings and service providers in India.
From your safety to shopping, living in India can yield great benefits as well as occasional drawbacks. Find your feet and stay abreast of the latest developments affecting expats in India with relevant news and up-to-date information.
Working in India can be rewarding as well as stressful, if you don't plan ahead and fulfill any legal requirements. Find out about visas and passports, owning and operating a company in India, and general Indian culture of the labour market.

On Monday Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority (PA), and Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal have agreed on the formation of a unity government between the Fatah and the Hamas, which will prepare for upcoming elections in the West Bank and Gaza (photo, from bbcimg.co.uk).
Under the agreement signed in the Qatari capital Mr Abbas will lead this interim government.
A few hours after this announcement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the deal with Hamas, which is considered a terrorist group by Israel and Western nations.
"It is either peace with Hamas or peace with Israel. You can't have them both," he said.
"Hamas and peace do not go hand in hand," Mr Netanyahu said.
"Hamas is a terror organisation and is aimed at the destruction of Israel."
No apparent progress cam from last month's talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the first in more than a year.
In a phone call to Mr Abbas, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged him to not abandon talks with Israel, saying that "the two tracks" of Palestinian reconciliation and negotiations with Israel "should not be seen as contradictory", according to Mr Ban's spokesman Martin Nesirky.
Mahmoud Abbas and Khaled Meshaal have been holding talks in Qatar over a reconciliation deal reached in April 2011, which aimed at ending more than four years of separate governments in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and the West Bank governed by Mr Abbas's Western backed Palestinian Authority.
The April deal says that an interim government is to prepare for presidential and parliamentary elections.
While the elections were expected to be held in May, the Palestinian election commission says more time will be needed, according to Reuters news agency.
Mr Abbas said both sides were serious about political unity.
Mr Meshaal said : "We inform our people that we are serious about healing the wounds… to reunite our people on the foundation of a political partnership, in order to devote our effort to resisting the [Israeli] occupation."
A Fatah official told the AFP news agency that the line-up of the government will be announced on 18 February in Cairo.
It will be made up of technocrats and independents, reports say.
'Commit to non-violence'
The European Union, one of the major financial backers of the Palestinian Authority, said Palestinian reconciliation and elections were important steps toward an eventual Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
But although it "looks forward to continuing its support", the EU said the new Palestinian government must be committed to non-violence, recognise Israel and support a negotiated solution to the Mideast conflict, said Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
The Middle East Quartet, made of the United States, Russia, the EU and the United Nations, added that before a Palestinian unity government can be recognised Hamas should back past Israeli-Palestinian agreements.
Palestinian government "must unambiguously and explicitly commit to non-violence", said US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, adding that "It must recognize the state of Israel and it must accept the previous agreements and obligations between the parties, including the road map."

The intended purpose of a building is to provide an environment for humans and/or machines to conduct specific activities. Interior comfort—temperature, humidity, acoustics, lighting, and interior air quality—is critical to the performance of the building and the productivity of its occupants.
Maintaining interior comfort consumes significant amounts of energy. Determining the right balance between comfort and energy use is not easy. The common approach is to optimize comfort conditions and energy consumption independently of one another. But this linear approach results in less than ideal outcomes.
Sensors, energy meters, and data collection systems offer a solution. They provide facilities managers with objective, useful, and actionable information. Energy meters separated by panel, circuit, or receptacle indicate precisely where, when, and how energy is being used. Specialized sensors measuring temperature, humidity, acoustics, lighting, and interior air quality monitor comfort conditions. Correlating the data from energy meters and comfort sensors reveals opportunities and tradeoffs to inform solutions that optimize comfort conditions and energy consumption.
Study Environments
This article presents three cases of using sensor-generated data and analysis to inform building design, management, and policy. The examples represent two radically different environments—public schools and airports—approached from two dramatically different scales. The comparison of these environments reveals common themes that can be used to drive comparable solutions across a broad range of environments.
Hawai'i Department of Education Heat Abatement Program
HIDOE is the 11th largest school system in the nation, managing 45 million square feet of space in 261 schools, across the state's 1,500-mile archipelago. Students in the 12,000 classrooms are subject to the tropical climate and often experience classroom conditions exceeding 90°F for sustained periods of time. These inadequate comfort conditions directly impact student performance. With energy rates in Hawaii nearly three times that of the mainland, the energy required to cool classrooms comes at a cost of $50 million annually.
Researchers conducted an 18-month pilot study, collecting data from over 750 environmental sensors installed in 60 schools across the state. The resulting data set informed the framework for an integrated solution, encompassing heat abatement, air quality improvements, beautification, and energy reduction. Study results and applied solutions formed the basis for a public portal providing future design teams and researchers access to rich data.
Hawai'i Natural Energy Institute Classroom Monitoring
Researchers conducted a 2-year study to compare the performance of two generations of high performance modular classrooms designed to deliver interior comfort and energy efficiency. Studies were conducted at 3 sites in different microclimates on the islands of Kauai and O'ahu.
Each test building was equipped with 16 sensors to measure 11 key performance indicators (KPIs), which correlated to 4 microclimate factors. The study confirmed that the test platforms outperformed traditional classrooms—delivering on average 15% more comfort per unit of energy consumed. A surprising finding was that the test platforms varied in total energy consumption from +20% to -19% in comparison to the scenario model.
Results from the studies indicated the need for more automated controls and operational training for building users. Operations recommended in the building operation guides were performed less than 40% of the time. Automating air conditioning controls resulted in a 50% energy savings. Implementing educational programs focused on using available natural light over artificial light reduced lighting-based power consumption by 70%.
San Francisco International Airport Net-Zero Program
SFO is one of the world's busiest airports, servicing over 50 million passengers each year. With 13 million square feet of facilities to manage, the airport launched a Net Zero Program to establish a baseline for key energy metrics and initiate strategies to minimize energy consumption and water use, reduce the carbon footprint, and increase recycling volume. Solutions spanned design, operations, culture, and policy and worked in concert to yield immediate benefits. Based on these results, the airport implemented a pilot program at a single facility to examine energy use and develop solutions that could be applied site-wide.
San Francisco International Airport: Airport Operations Facility Pilot Program
The 8,000 SF, net-zero-designed Airport Operations Facility served as a pilot site to examine energy use and measure the effectiveness of potential solutions at the building level. The study revealed that the building's actual energy consumption exceeded modeled consumption by 105%. Even with the additional energy generated from photovoltaics, the building was not performing at anywhere near its net zero goals.
During a 2-month study period, a range of sensors was deployed to monitor the building's energy usage, environmental conditions, and occupancy. The resulting data pointed to sources of excessive energy use. This data informed performance solutions that involved design (equipment and infrastructure), operations (programming of automated controls and HVAC set points and schedules), and behavior (policy changes, organizational and accountability changes, staff training). The impacts were measured and results from the pilot led to the implementation of solutions in the operations of existing facilities and in new airport projects.
Key Findings
Comparatively studying these two distinctly different environments verified an effective approach to measuring key performance indicators and applying the results to institution-wide changes that yield positive, outcomes.
- Understand key metrics and set aggressive goals.
- Create a pilot program at a scale that can be effectively managed and while providing sufficient information to be extrapolated for the larger organization within an acceptable degree of confidence
- Identify "quick hit" opportunities that can be rolled organization-wide out while the pilot is still in progress to build momentum and generate buy-in.
- Ensure the process has built-in feedback cycles; as data is collected it should inform future rounds of continuous improvement
- Refrain from over-collecting data; keep in mind the types of decisions the data can inform and collect enough data to support those decisions.
- Recognize the role that human occupants play in managing their environments and consider the degree to which occupants can benefit from direct participation in environmental control versus automated systems.
This is a summary of a presentation given at the 2017 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Boston.

This is going to be an impressionistic portrait of what I saw, heard, felt and, in a few cases, did during the audio carnival in Las Vegas early last month.
Impressionistic because, for once, I found myself wearing several hats, fighting a severe winter cold (thanks to the near daily arctic blasts in New York in late December and the new year), making a speech before and for this magazine's Golden Ear Club, and trying to cover both the newly rejuvenated T.H.E. Show and visit the more "official" audio presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show at the Venetian down the street from the Flamingo, where the alternative (T.H.E.) was taking place. Keep in mind that no single reviewer can cover all the audio exhibitions taking place in the two shows, and so, generalizations about what is "best" are impossible; the "best" a reviewer can do is say what struck him or his fancy.
In my case, there were three sonic demonstrations that intrigued me at T.H.E. Show and two at the "official" and thus mainstream doings at the Venetian. But that is getting ahead of the things I want to report.
The phrasing gives away, I hope, a certain bias I have on the subject of "official" audio shows. But, after attending T.H.E. Show during its salad days three years ago, and the spectacularly good Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver in October, I now think such are the best showcases for sound that is truly high end, and for new and intriguing designs and their designers. I also must confess a decided dismay about the Venetian as a showcase for anything as special as our audio community, not only for its inflated room costs and cramped quarters, but for the difficulty folks have in negotiating both its corridors, and getting to its location thirty and more floors up, because of the shortcomings of the elevators, never designed to handle large numbers of visitors. Off-the-record, some of my most intelligent sources described the atmosphere in the Venetian's halls as either "dismal" or "somber." I heard much mumbling and grumbling about the Venetian's facilities from audio folk who came over to check out things at the Flamingo; many vowed to exhibit at the more relaxed and better-sounding facilities at T.H.E. Show, rejuvenated after several tough years (for both it and the audio community in general).
Ironically, at T.H.E., there seemed to be a kind of optimism in the air, the much-hoped-for feeling that maybe the absolute worst was over, and on the other, a nervous fingering of religious icons, as if one were passing too near to Dracula's castle. ("Is high end audio dead?") But, everywhere there was the sure sense that things in audio were changing, period, and changing in ways as yet unpredictable and therefore a little scary.
And some of these coming future possibilities were at hand. For example: Some wave (WAV) disc players were much in evidence, including, to these ears, a nice (maybe even much better than that, because the headphones attached were ordinary) $900 WAV-disc player from the talented Demian Martin. Martin has shown, in the past, his flair for brilliant designs. This unit, the Araliti Digital Music Player PK 100, will handle everything from the aforementioned WAV discs to MP3 encodings. (Reference Recordings, where Martin's ex-wife, Marcia, is a principal player, now has almost a dozen such recordings of Keith Johnson's best engineering work on WAV discs, and they are as close to the original Keith Johnson tapes as you can get. And ditto for Chesky Records, with its WAV discs—all of which signified a much higher resolution system for playback than digital encoding has afforded us in the past.)
Indeed, some products now at hand show that even the decoding of the more conventional forms of digital encoding has reached a plateau that now suggests it is a true alternative to the best analog, as Wilma Cozart, of Mercury fame, presciently noted years ago. There has been a deepening understanding of the problems involved in the playback of CDs, such as, say, "jitter," and how to eliminate such distortions completely.
"Officially" the Consumer Electronics Association reported that the attendance at their show was up a couple of thousand, and its mood upbeat, since there were 350 new exhibitors—even though the total number of exhibitors fell by five per cent. If that's not having it both ways, I don't know what is. Richard Beers, founder of T.H.E. Show said the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor Center had estimated the attendance at his show to be around 6000, a number he said he'd stick with, although unofficially, he said he thought the number was probably half that. For what it's worth, by my rough count, there were 106 companies showing either singly or together at the Flamingo, and likewise for the 147 at the Venetian.
At the Flamingo, T.H.E. Show occupied both the basement and fourth floors of the building. On the lower level, there were the high-end record companies displaying their wares, as well as some of the more elaborate exhibitions, including the spectacular Brian Cheney live-vs.-recorded demos of music and vocalist Napua Davoy (friend of HP's, whom he introduced at an opening night performance), a high-resolution setup if ever there were one. (Marjorie Baumert could be found in T.H.E.'s business office on the ground level. She took over the operation of the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest this year, after her husband, its founder, suddenly died. Though no one has said as much, it would seem that her alliance with Beers has led to T.H.E. Show's much improved operation. And it is just this alliance, between her and Beers, that portends well for future and better independent shows.)
For me, a compelling reason to visit the Venetian was to suss out Avalon's demonstration of a new (and much discussed) speaker called the Time. I had met with owner Neil Patel in Denver, after a long and frosty silence on his part (don't ask me why, I never knew). The cordiality of that session aroused my curiosity about his present-day design work. He was at long-ish lunch when I first arrived, and so, after awhile (since my time was limited), I ran a brief exploratory mission down from the 34th to the 30th floor to meet with several folk, especially the son of the founder of the dCS digital players, David Steven, the managing director (whose father suddenly died about a year ago). I was there because I have long wanted to evaluate the top-of-the-line player to find out if it really is, as all seem to suggest, the very state-of-the-art in conventional CD playback.
An unexpected and rewarding side trip came, by accident, when I caught sight of the president of Crystal Cable, Mrs. Gabi van der Kley, the only female speaker designer in this business, (insofar as I know). We first met over dinner in Denver, and I found her to have a vivid personality. She is also, by the way, an accomplished pianist (Chopin). She recognized me and literally pulled me into the demo room, where there were playing two glass-enclosed two-way speakers of hers, the Arabesques. Immediate thought: Oh no, won't they sound, er, "glassy." After the briefest of listens, their immediacy and yet refined and uncolored purity were characteristics that both intrigued and surprised me. (Found out later, they had much impressed Roy Gregory, the former editor of our sister publication, HiFi+, who reviewed the speakers there.)
The next day I spent much of the early afternoon visiting exhibitors at the Flamingo. First stop was the Magnepan room, where, as it turned out, the folks from Minnesota weren't entirely happy campers with the cramped quarters (the original and larger room downstairs had to be abandoned at the very last moment). The raison d'être behind this year's demonstration was to show off the new Maggie 1.7 speaker system, said (by them) to be a full-range ribbon speaker. Actually, it wasn't quite that, since the woofer section is a quasi-ribbon.
The setup was clear-cut. Two of the new Maggies, the 1.7s, were stationed left and right, with a new center-channel speaker with a true ribbon tweeter (along with the Maggie woofer). A bevy of Bryston's 28B-22T amplifiers were driving the system (with Bryston's CD player and linestage) along with the recently-introduction Kubala-Sosna Elation Interconnects.
Perhaps because of the last minute change of venue, the surround system was not well balanced. For one thing, the center-channel speakers were set at a level at least 3dB too high and the blend to the Maggie woofer was not seamless. It was clear, to me anyway, that Magnepan's sudden decision to move to the 4th floor had not allowed it enough time to properly tune the surround speakers to the room, which was too small to allow best imaging for big crowds, and that was, at times, the size of the audiences lined up outside in the hall.
When I have to sit through a demonstration of a speaker system, I like to play material with which I am intimately familiar, which, in recent years, has been the XRCD of The Planets (Mehta, LA Philharmonic) to play both "Mercury" and "Saturn," and the movie soundtrack from The Thin Red Line. I heard the 1.7's potential, even as the sound seemed overall bright and at the top, a bit metallic.
Next, I made a brief stop at Roger Sanders room (Sanders Sound Systems) where he was demonstrating his new electrostatic speaker, the Model 10—priced at $13,000 the pair. Years ago, at a much earlier high-end show, I heard (and later reviewed) his first work on his own for Inner Sound. Because of Inner Sound's success, he acquired financing, an experience that proved traumatic and costly for him. His new work represents a resurrection of sorts. The new speaker, like the old, is a hybrid, with a dynamic driver at the bottom that comes with a 600-watt solid-state amp (yes, he has abandoned tubes) with a regulated power supply.
Most of the time an electrostatic speaker sounds like an x-ray of the music, rather than a fully fleshed out version, one that you can feel through your skin. But Sanders' don't. The system can pressurize a room, and the 'stat elements he's designed can play at incredible levels without audible distortion, and the woofers, 10-inchers with a magnetic damping system, were, well, floor-shaking.
His room, however, was small and narrow, and there were only three chairs, in a front-to-back row. And I was instructed to sit in the middle. He was using his solid-state amplifiers. One amp drove the woofer section; the other the 'stat elements (you can, in this case, choose your own amp for the electrostats if you don't want the Sanders version). As I found throughout the show, Sanders chose the music he wanted to use and we, the auditioners, had to live with that. Since I couldn't listen to the material I would have chosen and which would have given me a more precise ability to describe what I heard, I can only say that some of the organ cuts he played, with low pedal points, were little short of awesome and the 'stat sections handled the volume with excellent dynamics. As noted above and elsewhere, I don't much like the increasing use by manufacturers of pre-recorded material played back through devices of their own choosing. In this instance, a selection from Saint-Saëns "Organ" Symphony really was mediocre sounding and thus dispiriting.
The last full stop? At John McDonald's demonstration of much (but hardly all) of his developing line of Audience gear. Indeed, the only element in the room that wasn't his was a Denon 3930 CD player ("heavily modified," he said) Back in 2007, McDonald had, to my way of thinking, some of the most natural sound I heard at T.H.E. Show (along with Keith Herron with his still unproduced reference speaker). Since then, his most ambitious power conditioner (the aR12-T) has become a reference standard of sorts; and, he has since been at work on updating his speaker systems and a soon-to-come preamplifier. The amps he used at T.H.E. were Class D (of all things) prototypes.
The speakers he had going when I arrived were the ClairAudient LSA 4+4 "bi-poles," his term—LSA stands for line source array—priced at circa $12,000. I used the "Mercury" and "Saturn" cuts from The Planets, and for the organ pedal points in Saturn asked him turn on his new subwoofers (two Audience 8-inch woofer "bipoles" and two ten-inch passive radiators, also bipole in operation). I thought the sound I heard there as magically "right" as any I have heard at any show. I forgot to listen to the sound, and listened to the music. A joy. (And if you correctly assume I will be reviewing this system, consider these remarks, as is so often the case with me, a tease.)
This report really is just skimming the surface of what happened in Vegas; it cannot do the complexities and intricacies justice.
But, one of the reasons I was there, and it turned out to be my favorite moment, came when I spoke, seminar-style, before this magazine's Golden Ear Club (introduced by TAS's new publisher, Jim Hannon). The audience was peppered with audio celebrities, from, among others, Mike Hobson of Classic Records to an argumentative Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere, who also took the floor, invited or not. Having gotten my water wings in Denver (is that an apt analogy? Hang-gliding bars?), I got more focused in my discussion of the evolution of the high end—if you want an idea of how this went in Denver, check out the video on-line (at avguide.com)—and had a quite lively back-and-forth Q+A session with the audience, whose members wanted, for instance, a lexicon of audio terminology and reporting of the excesses of audio dealers.
I talked about evolution, how our vocabulary evolved from what were essentially descriptive terms for colorations (often euphonic) and distortions early on to the spatial language I devised. And the difficulties we'd face, given the neutrality of present-day components in furthering that vocabulary, suggesting phrases like "aura of grain" might be useful in the future. Then there was the evolution of tubed units in the face of the transistor challenge of the late Sixties, the resurrection of the LP in the face of the digital tsunami a generation ago, and more. Apparently my opportunity to ham it up in front of an audience banished my (quite severe) cold and so all was well that ended well.

2015 Ford Mustang Informational Guide!
For Mustang owners, staying on-top of the latest Mustang news is like reading the front page of the Wall-Street Journal for others. We've been expecting to learn more about the 2015 Ford Mustang for awhile. I've personally been to a handful of events, seen the 2015 Mustang in person but haven't seen a full spec sheet until recently on their website and now with the 2015 Mustang Information Guide that I found. Several online Mustang Forums like Mustang6G.com and NJStangers.org published the 2015 Mustang information guide.
So what does the Mustang Information Guide Include?
It covers every bit of detail about the new Mustang, in this case, the 2015 Ford Mustang. It mentions the different engine platforms, package options, colors options, wheel options and much more. Ford's introduction of the 4-Cylinder engine for 2015 along with it's 2 very popular V6 and 5.0L engine platforms will definitely bring a new market of MPG conservatives who want a Mustang as a daily driver but can't afford to visit the pump as often as they would with a V6 or 5.0L. If you are interested in a 2015 Ford Mustang, be sure to reach out to your local Ford Dealership like Salerno Duane Ford in New Jersey.

It was a good news/bad news kind of announcement for the Gunn and Menlo-Atherton boys following the seedings for the Central Coast Section Team Tennis Tournament on Monday night.
The good news was Gunn (12-6) received the No. 4 seed and a first-round bye while the Bears (18-2) got the No. 5 seed and a free pass to the second round.
Now the bad news. Should Gunn beat the winner of the Aragon-Valley Christian match and Menlo-Atherton advance past either St. Ignatius or Piedmont Hills, the Titans and Bears will meet in the quarterfinal on Monday at Gunn (3 p.m.).
While the winner of that match will advance to the semifinals (good news), waiting at Bay Club Courtside on May 13 most likely will be top-seeded and defending champion Menlo School (21-1).
Thus, Gunn and Menlo-Atherton will not be skating through the CCS playoffs as all three local entrants were seeded into the same half of the 16-team bracket.
Menlo School has won the past six titles and will be shooting for a record-tying seventh straight, which would tie the mark held by Gunn (1972-78).
The Knights also have won 13 section crowns overall, the most ever, under head coach Bill Shine. Menlo enters the tournament with just one loss, the sixth time the Knights have had just one loss (or none) heading into the CCS playoffs.
First Round
Wednesday (3 p.m.)
Santa Cruz (15-1) at Cupertino (17-0)
Crystal Springs (16-3) vs. St. Francis (16-6) at Cuesta Park
Pacific Grove (12-1) vs. Los Gatos (13-4) at Los Gatos Swim & Racquet Club
R.L. Stevenson (11-1) at Leland (15-1)
St. Ignatius (17-5) vs. Piedmont Hills (8-7) at Willow Glen High
Valley Christian (12-8) at Aragon (13-7)
Carlmont (9-7) vs. Harker (15-3) at Bay Club Santa Clara
Monterey (11-6) vs. Mitty (13-8) at Sunnyvale Tennis Center
Second Round
Friday (3 p.m.)

Authentic Confederate Belt Buckles & Plates From The Civil War
Cast Tongue 2-Piece Virginia State Seal Sword Belt Buckle
Item #: L5661
Click on an image to enlarge
This is a tough to find original Civil War 2-piece Virginia sword belt buckle. This is a lesser detailed version of the belt buckle that is illustrated as Plate #423 on page #229 of the revised edition of the Mullinax book on Confederate Belt Buckles & Plates. It is also pictured in Howard Crouch's book. This one has the wreath that is similar to the style like James Smith of New York was producing before the Civil War. This is the style that was finely crafted for the well-to-do Virginians before the war and this style has been excavated in Civil War Confederate campsites and positions.

Alighiero Boetti
Gladstone Gallery | West 21st St
Gladstone Gallery's recent exhibition of works made by Italian artist Alighiero Boetti between the late 1980s and the early '90s showcased two core elements of his work: an investigation of personal and collective identity conducted with reference to the idea of the Other, and a reflection on the power of art to dissolve boundaries between people. Like Andy Warhol and Sol LeWitt, Boetti was a "lazy genius," and regularly entrusted the completion of his work to others, thereby distancing himself from the myth of the solitary artist and allowing for a deeper immersion in his themes. (Traveling further along this road than most, he even invented a twin, separating himself into the dual persona "Alighiero and Boetti.")
After his first trip to Kabul, in 1971, Boetti regularly commissioned Afghan embroiderers to make his tapestries, keeping entire villages employed for extended periods. To

The lender today confirmed the fee increase to all new applications for Skipton's UK Expat Mortgages, off the back of the product's success from its 2014 launch.
Skipton International's procuration fees to panel brokers are to stay at 0.75%.
Fees are payable upon successful drawdown of the loan.
Nigel Pascoe, director of lending, Skipton International, said: "Buy-to-let remains a very popular long term investment option for British expats and we are delighted to be able to pass on additional benefits to brokers through these products."
Leeds Building Society yesterday rolled out whole-of-market broker product transfer fees.
The fall in the pound has resulted in a large uptick in enquiries for expat mortgages during the past year, according to Skipton.
It comes after the lender has invested in process and system improvements in a bid to streamline the expat mortgage underwriting process.
Skipton underwriters aim to assess cases within 48 hours from receipt of an application but claim to often turnaround within a day.
Liquid Expat Mortgages echoed views that enquiries in the expat sector had increased significantly.

Located in Goldendale, the Maryhilll Museum was first opened in 1940. Back then, Time Magazine called it "the world's most isolated art museum." Today it is a popular stop in southern Washington for thousands of travelers each year.With over 5,000 acres of property, the museum has ample room for several contrasting exhibits, both permanent and seasonal.
When visiting the property, guests can take a walk through the William and Catherine Dickson Sculpture Park, or to the Lewis and Clark Overlook which is an official site on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail.
History of their Stonehenge
There is also a native plant garden to enjoy, or one can take a gander at Sam Hill's (the original founder) full-sized replica of Stonehenge. Dedicated in 1918, and finished eleven years later in 1929, it is a representation of those who died in the first World War. "The dedication plaque reads as: "In memory of the soldiers of Klickitat County who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in the hope that others inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism which death can alone quench."
How the museum began
Originally intended to be Sam Hill's mansion back in 1907, it was then turned into the present-day museum with his own art collection. Today visitors can check out one of the ten permanent indoor collections. For example, there is a Native American Gallery, and a portion of Queen Marie of Romania's personal collection dating back to the 1800's that she donated on a visit to the museum.
Visiting with children
If you're planning to visit with small children, the museum offers different activities for each member of the family. Preschoolers can enjoy story times, run around on the expansive grounds, or visit the hands-on exploratory room. Each month they offer different programs, so make sure to check out their website in advance!
Open March 15th to November 15th, daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. adults can enter for $9, 7-18 year olds for $3 and children 6 and under can enter for free. Throughout the season, the museum offers "special admission programs offering free admission." For the complete list, click here.
The Maryhill Museum can be made into a complete day trip, beginning with a nice stroll on the property, continuing inside to the exhibits and ending with a trip to their Loie's: The Museum Café. Once finished at the museum, one may visit one of the surrounding wineries, or hiking trails.

My greetings to everyone!
Well, my first post here would possess character that is more informal. I would like to say "thank you" to mr.Montgomery, for this opportunity to share ideas and thoughts with our "cohort stakeholders" (I mean all of you). This post will serve just like a reminder to be thankful for every chance that we have in our bright life.
To begin with, I would like to say that we are privileged people. We were born in Kazakhstan; in the rich country (geographically well situated, economically well opportunistic etc.). We had to chance study at schools and graduate from universities.
As well as just to be thankful that we can eat, love and pray (as one of titled book of Elizabeth Gilbert). Happy people can walk, dance, carelessly study and work, afford themselves to relax sometimes and develop, develop, develop.
Speaking of the current time, we all enjoy studying in the best university in Kazakhstan. We also enjoy chatting and socializing with each other; challenging ourselves to be better and learning something new every day. We get stipends as one monthly salary, just to not worry about our pocket money. I dare to say that even free wi-fi is a privilege. When you are thankful for every single thing you have, you appreciate it more. Finally, as I said before, this post is like a reminder: Never forget to be thankful and remember that millions of people would like to be instead of you!
P.S. All of you are so awesome individuals, that personally I express my thankfulness to meet all of you! And being honest, I do not like to consider ourselves as a future educational leaders=) I prefer to say current leaders! Ability to manage rationally all that you got and appreciate it – is a leadership. Sorry for a long post-scriptum=)

The Boxcars, then a new group filled with veteran artists, burst on the bluegrass scene in 2010 with a self-titled album that made many critics' Top 10 lsit.
A year later, the International Bluegrass Music Association named the band instrumental group of the year as well as emerging artists of the year.
Now, The Boxcars are back with "All In," another strong album of country-flavored bluegrass.
Band members penned seven of the 12 tracks.
Keith Garrett's "Jeffrey's Hell" is a ghost story about a man and his son who went hunting for a lost hound and were never seen again.
The new "Old Hollow Tree" and the traditional "Born And Raised In Covington" are good murder ballads.
Ron Stewart's "Crawford County" tells the story of a man who mistakenly shoots and kills two children he thinks are poaching deer.
"Prison" is an uptempo gospel song.
And there are plenty of songs about heartache — "Alone and Wondering Why," "Ol' Lonesome Won't Leave Me Alone," "I've Lost You," "I'm Over You, "Still Good At Crying Over You" and "Don't Fall In Love With A Girl Like That."
Adam Steffey wrote the album's only instrumental "That's What She Said."
John Bowman and Harold Nixon round out the band.
The Boxcars have a avoided a sophomore slump with another strong album.

This is the second Friday I have been at ForgeRock. A week already. Time flies when you are having fun.
This week, among other things, I have looked at what is needed in terms of documentation. Thanks to Sun for creating and now Oracle for hosting old documentation, some of which still applies. Thanks to ForgeRock for hosting mailing lists and wikis. Thanks to web search engines that index the full text of it all. But is that really what you mean by documentation?
In a way, yes. Open source software could hardly be taken up so quickly around the world if we all had to wait for somebody to write documentation. No wonder when you boot up a new install of Ubuntu one of the first things you see is the Firefox icon, whose default page is a Google search.
Ideally we would never have to read docs. We would each have in-person, interactive support from local gurus, but they remain in short supply. Searching the web is different from asking somebody that you know knows. With everything indexed full text, the signal can get drowned out by the noise.
A good bit of the information out there is perishable as well. What was true for version 9.5.3 may no longer be the case for version 10. Healthy projects evolve actively. So should the documentation. The more frequent the updates, however, the more likely we are to introduce errors.
We clearly need both freshness and accuracy. Also, we want enough instructions and references to use all software features, in other words completeness. Let's call this body of work core docs. Core docs thus cover all the features, track the code closely, and change in a manner that is under control. Core docs contain version information so you know whether you are reading about version 9.5.3 or version 10. If we do core docs right, then readers learn they can trust the content. Core docs become what everyone means by documentation.
The source for these core docs should live right alongside the rest of the project code. Of course at least part of the reference, like Javadoc, already does reside with the code. Keeping all the core doc source in the same repository as the rest of the code makes it straightforward to handle versioning, to use the same controls and tracking we have for features and bugs, and to build along with the project binaries. For now, I've been playing with docbkx-tools to process books in the core docs. Looks promising. More on that later.

Peter Smith persuades court to impose a conditional discharge on a sole director following an employee falling from a tower scaffold sustaining a broken neck
Peter Smith persuades court to impose a conditional discharge on a sole director following an employee falling from a tower scaffold sustaining a broken neck.
R (HSE) v. (1) Trueline Engineering Services Ltd & (2) Mr Paul Smith; Liverpool: 17th December 2018
The HSE decided to prosecute the sole director of the company pursuant to section 37(1) of the HSWA 1974, for like offences committed by the company under section 2(1) of the 1974 Act, and a RIDDOR breach.
An employee fell from a partially erected tower scaffold which he was using to undertaking welding work; he sustained a broken neck.
The director was responsible for health and safety, very much 'hands on' with work and the day to day running of the company. Some employees had received the basic training in the erection and dismantling of the scaffold, others had not, including the injured employee.
Following submissions, the judge accepted that the company and the director were inextricably linked, and especially so in terms of the income derived by both. Moreover, it was difficult to distinguish between them, even though the Guidelines did, and penalties differed.
In the result, the judge accepted that, leaving the Totality Principle aside for a moment, finding that the custody threshold had not been crossed, to impose a fine on the director as well as the company, would amount to the director being punished twice.
Accordingly, the judge was persuaded that a discharge was appropriate for the director and imposed a 12 months conditional discharge, with the company receiving a modest fine.
The injured employee was deemed fit for remunerative employment after 18 months.
Comment: The HSE's decision to prosecute the director was questionable. Since 2013, the test of 'proportionality' has been a codified factor in any decision to prosecute. Whilst the director was responsible for health and safety, the circumstances did not lend themselves to separate financial penalties, a community order or imprisonment, suspended or otherwise. Precious time and money had been spent pursuing the director who, together with the business, had been operating for several decades, and without any previous convictions or enforcement history against them.
