XMC20 Family of Cards
With its full-hybrid system architecture the XMC20 enables new strategies for network planning. It reduces network complexity by providing a wide range of interfaces, services and technologies in a single compact subrack. This approach reduces costs and simultaneously raises the reliability of mission-critical networks by decreasing the number of utilized network components. With XMC20 your network is prepared for the challenges of today and tomorrow. The XMC20 has a wide range of cards available which are summarised below.
XMC20 ETO12 - The Ethernet unit ETO12 provides 12 Ethernet interfaces for optical or electrical SFP modules. A wide range of SFP modules is supported to allow customization of the interfaces with 100 Mbps or 1,000 Mbps transmission capacity. The support of SFPs means that CAPEX investment is required only as you grow and not in a single lump sum initial investment.
XMC20 ETE24 - The ETE24 Ethernet unit provides 24 electrical Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with comprehensive features and high standards for applications that require a reliable data transmission. The ETE24 may be used for various services as LAN interconnection or voice, and video transmission. XMC20 in conjunction with ETE24 is a modular Ethernet switch with powerful switching capacity. With it, you can start with a small installation and expand the switch flexibly from 24 up to 240 interfaces.
XMC20 ETAG1 – The ETAG1 provides efficient aggregation of Ethernet traffic transported via its front Ethernet ports or via XMC20's TDM bus. With its advanced architecture, the XMC20 fulfils the growing demands on Ethernet services in dedicated networks. Additionally, native TDM services and transport solutions can be provided with XMC20 thanks to its Ethernet-TDM hybrid back-plane. The TDM capabilities include aggregation and transport of Ethernet data via SDH/PDH networks. Thus, networks operators can serve both network structures with one platform and one management system.
XMC20 TUEM1 - The TUEM1 offers E&M VF interfaces with onboard conferencing function for dedicated networks. The TUEM1 integrates traditional services in the XMC20 platform. Important functions for dedicated networks such as E&M voice telephony and conferencing can be offered with TUEM1 in only one unit. Thanks to the access to the XMC20 hybrid Ethernet-TDM backplane, services offered with TUEM1 can be transmitted via all transport network technologies. For that XMC20 offers interfaces towards PDH, SDH and Ethernet/IP networks.
XMC20 SUP12 - The Ethernet unit XMC20 SUP12 offers 12 Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, providing up to 30 W per port (PoE+). The SUP12 capability to distribute PoE, together with its switching functions, makes it particularly suitable for addressing the need for Ethernet connectivity on locations where powering facilities are not easily accessible.
XMC20 IMAG1 - Interface for local battery telephones with magneto line signalling. In some dedicated networks and networks of railway companies, legacy telephone apparatus such as the local battery telephone is the proven robust system still in use today. These telephones use the magneto line signalling technology. This has to be converted into services of modern telecom networks. IMAG1 delivers interfaces for these type of telephones in XMC20 for mission-critical services.
XMC20 TUGE1 - TUGE1 offers legacy G.703 64 kbps interfaces for dedicated networks. The TUGE1 integrates 64 kbps interfaces in the XMC20 platform. Thus, 64 kbps data devices, such as routers and tele-protection terminals, that are in line with the standard can be connected. With TUGE1 the in dedicated networks common TDM services can be supplied furthermore via the IP-based XMC20 platform. The TUGE1 data can be switched with other 64 kbps services in XMC20 and multiplexed to higher TDM hierarchical levels.
XMC20 SUPM1 - POTS line card with 16 POTS (FXS) interfaces with extended voltage protection for dedicated networks. The PSTN line card SUPM1 supports 16 ports for traditional POTS services. Its wide range of configurable modes ensure interoperation with a large variety of exchange protocols.
XMC20 SUPM2 - POTS line card that supports 64 high density POTS interfaces in legacy and packet-based access networks. With the POTS (FXS) line card in XMC20 you use an high performance access system for deploying standard POTS and legacy voice services.
XMC20 TUXA1 - The POTS FXO unit TUXA1 provides up to 12 FXO ports for the connection of remote applications. Its wide range of configurable parameters ensure easy and reliable interoperation with a large variety of exchanges. With the multi-service capabilities of XMC20, TUXA1 signalling and voice data can be transmitted via PDH, SDH or Ethernet.
XMC20 TUDA1 - This serial interface unit brings powerful functions and high flexibility for TDM data applications on the XMC20 platform. The TUDA1 provides different types of data interfaces on one unit, configurable via the network management system. With it you can connect a wide range of data terminal equipment, with different interface types and data rate requirements to only one unit in one slot. This improves sub-rack space utilization and optimises your investment.
XMC20 VOIP1 – The VOIP1 voice media gateway unit enables smooth migration from legacy TDM voice traffic to a SIP-based VoIP network with a simple software exchange without any hardware change and minimal disruption on existing applications.
XMC20 STM14 - The STM14 unit offers the ability to have TDM and Ethernet services uplinked via SDH STM-4 or STM-1 from the XMC20 platform. The STM14 allows a smooth migration from SDH transport to pure Ethernet transport on the same chassis; also allowing the coexistence of both types of transport technologies simultaneously.
XMC20 SATP8 - Despite the transition of many core networks to Ethernet/IP, legacy data interfaces are not loosing their importance. Many applications will demand E1 interfaces further on in order to continue to use the already installed equipment. Network operators wanting to save costs with an All-IP network must be able to distribute these legacy interfaces via Ethernet/IP. Thus maximum saving potential can be realised without having to withdraw the well-known services from the client-base.
XMC20 SELI8 - The SELI8 provides XMC20 with interfaces towards a TDM network and the capability to provision TDM services on the PTN platform. The SELI8 provides the uplink for TDM voice and data services via E1 links. Simultaneous coexistence of Ethernet and TDM uplink allows for an easy migration to PTN services whilst maintaining some of the current TDM services. The SELI8 works in conjunction with the SDSL8 and SUPM1/SUPM2 units, TDM SHDSL and voice services respectively.
XMC20 NUSA1 - The XMC20 SDH STM-16 unit NUSA1 offers the ability to transport TDM and Ethernet services via SDH STM-16, STM-4, or STM-1 from the XMC20 platform. NUSA1 enables the smooth migration from SDH networks to pure Ethernet networks in one sub-rack. NUSA1 also allows the coexistence of both types of transport technologies simultaneously.
XMC20 NUSA2 - The XMC20 NUSA2 offers the ability to transport TDM and Ethernet services via SDH STM-16, STM-4, or STM-1 from the XMC20 platform. NUSA2 enables the smooth migration from SDH networks to pure Ethernet networks in one sub-rack. NUSA2 also allows the coexistence of both types of transport technologies simultaneously.
XMC20 SDSL8 - With the SHDSL TDM line card SDSL8 mission-critical services can be connected easily to your network via symmetrical SHDSL. With the integration of regenerators, remote power feeding and the ability to provide 1 or 2 pair transmission it is possible to realise service even under difficult loop conditions and with extended reach. The XMC20 provides you full flexibility for the connection with the backbone. You can transmit data via GbE or furthermore as native TDM data.
NB: More information and detailed specifications on all of these cards are available on request.

why it is unsafe to sleep on your right ? Here is the deadly reasons
We can't deny the fact that each of us has our own sleeping positions. Some prefer sleeping on their left side, some prefer sleeping on their right side. The bottom line is that we all prefer sleeping in the position that we find comfortable.
Deadly reasons why it is unsafe to sleep on your right side! Shocking!
A lot of people claim that they are much comfortable whenever they are sleeping on their right side, they claim that they had no idea why but then every-time they sleep on their right side, they always have a good sleep. But what they all didn't know is that what they're doing isn't good for their health.
Sleeping on your right side is quite dangerous to your health because the gastric acid from your stomach flows and stays in your esophagus for a long period of time that might put you at a greater risk of stomach cancer.
On the other hand, sleeping on your left side can help improve your health

The Twins have already advanced through a large portion of the process for filling their front office openings, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press reports. Minnesota is looking for a replacement for displaced GM Terry Ryan, whose chair has been occupied on an interim basis by long-time club executive Rob Antony.
In conjunction with an executive search firm, the club has already nearly wrapped up formulating a list of first-round interview candidates, per the report. And the organization has conducted multiple interviews with prospective front office personnel, according to owner Jim Pohlad, which has included sit-downs both in Minnesota and elsewhere.
The goal appears to be to find an analytical-savvy baseball operations leader, Berardino says, though the club also has not dismissed the idea of hiring someone with a scouting background or a track record as a general manager. As we've heard previously, the organization is hoping to hire a president of baseball operations who will, in turn, hire a general manager.
Earlier tonight, we learned that the Twins have formally requested permission to interview Cubs exec Jason McLeod. Indeed, the focus on the Chicago organization seems to be multi-faceted. Berardino says that Minnesota hopes to find a "Theo Epstein-type" president and is looking at other members of the staff that helped build what is arguably the league's best major league roster. We've heard previously of interest in assistant GM Shiraz Rehman, and the latest report adds that Cubs pro scouting director Jared Porter is "firmly on the Twins radar" as well.

What does this term mean? What things do we consider when we talk about learning difference… disability… and divergence.
Group two users can be found listed on the groups page
Throughout my years in High school and as an undergrad, I had only heard of one particular learning disability, dyslexia. I believed that dyslexia was a learning disability where people read and wrote words backwards so that prevented them from doing well in school. So that individual was considered "special" or a little "slow" and therefore they would receive special treatment academically.
I don't remember thinking that an individual had to be physically disabled inorder to have a learning disablity. Once I became a teacher in a classroom where inclusion is a part of the classroom culture, I began to learn a little more about learning disabilities and the various types out there.
To me an individual has a learning disabailty when he or she has trouble receiving, sorting, processing and retreiving information, which will then have an effect on their perrformance in and outside of the classroom. These types of students are then considered to have special needs.
I was surprised to learn that children with special needs are on both ends of the spectrum. I always thought that special needs students were students that performed below the average and above average student. I had no idea that the gifted and talented students were considered a part of the special needs subculture as well.
I agree with Kainjeri in that I too had a limited understanding of what "learning disabilities" means before I became a teacher and quite frankly I think my understanding is still limited. I understand learning disabilities to refer to a variety of learning habits/abilities that impairs a students learning. I have more questions on this issue rather than a clear definition to offer.
1) Does 'learning disability" and "special needs" mean the same thing?
When I think of learning disabilities, I think that means a student has a different way of processing and acquiring information. I assume that a "disability" is a learning process that slows how quickly a student can learn. I am very open to the reality that I am probably wrong on this assumption. I undrstand "special needs" to be a little different. That term seems more inclusive to me and includes students who are performing above avrage students for example. It is clear that I really do not know enough about special education, its termonology and the many distictions that affect our students. I'd be really curious to hear people's thoughts on the difference betwen these two labels.
2) If "learning disability" refers to students who are performing above and below average students than isnt the whole idea of a "learning disabled" student socially constructed?
If the only way to determine if a student is "disabled" or has a "speical need" is by comparing him/her to other students, then these labels are totally subjective. It seems to totally depend on the bell curve of how the majority of the population is performing, but depending on your location, culture, values etc, then your measures on what creates a learning disability will change. Again, perhaps this is not a profound thought for many of you, but it is important that I articulate this if for nothing more than my own understanding.
While learning disabilities are not indicators of low intelligence, the term refers to people who have difficulty achieving their full intellectual potential, because of a deficit in the way the brain processes information. While there are six specific learning disabilities, we probably only notice the students with a math, writing, or reading disability… though there is also a disorder associated with listening. I am currently raising my two nephews who both have reading and math learning disabilities. I must say it is extremely difficult. They both excel socially, and physically, but are below basic academically. Though they are five and eight, their learning disabilities are very much apparent. This past school year they both received special services all year long, and they both attended schools that have continuously excelled academically according to Maryland standards. Still, they could barely complete classroom assignments. When I complete math homework with them in the evening, I wonder as to how much instruction they received in the classroom because at home they remember nothing. As a teacher, I force them to work everyday on basic skills, but it usually overwhelms them, and frustrates me. Still, I realize that I am extremely limited in the services I can provide. When I solicited the special education coordinators and math teachers for help (in order to reinforce the same operation processes learned in the classroom), they sent home practice worksheets and manipulatives that I already had them completing. So, is simply practicing going to bridge the gap? Is it possible for children with learning disabilities to truly rejoin their classmates, and feel competent among them?
When I hear the term "learning differences," I think of learning styles. Learning differences simply refer to how people learn best. To that extent, teachers can create lessons based on how a student will best receive the information, but the student can also become more receptive to other styles with practice. Charter schools cater to learning differences, which is evident in their mission.
Having to agree with RachelG, I believe "learning divergence" is the same as learning differences. If someone can offer more research, please feel free to respond.
I appreciate Najla's articulation of "special needs" as being a more inclusive term than "learning disabled." (I am reminded of the T. Shakespeare article distinguishing between "disability" and "impairment" - so much social construction is based in semiotics!)
Growing up, I was taught that being identified as a TAG (talented and gifted) student was different from being an "honors" student (the point being that TAG shouldn't connotate intelligence but a particular way of thinking and processing ideas and information). Of course, TAG itself is a loaded term (who doesn't want to be called "gifted") but there were students in our TAG program who also attended Resource, the program for "learning disabled" students.
My intent is to illustrate that, as Najla mentions, special needs students might include the kid in your class who is a killer chess player but has trouble with reading comprehension. Students who think differently. I am curious about the intersection between "special needs" and learning modalities, or why my ELL students, who certainly have needs that are "special" to themselves and the way they process language, may not qualify as "special needs" under a medical classification.
It's funny that Rachael mentioned ELLs don't qualify as "special needs" because at my school they do fall uneder the same administrative department, have similar challenges with compliance with laws, and are generally thought of as having exactly that: special needs. When students need clarification on what this means they usually come to the conclusion that we all have special needs depending on what we're all good at. I realize that that's not an official label for the literally special (unique, peculiar, individual, characteristic, different?) needs of ELLs, but I agree it's funny that the term is so broad and yet not broadly applied.
In elementary school I knew that learning disabilities came in all shapes and sizes and that you could get called to the school psychologist's office for a variety of reasons. Some were good, some were bad. Some you could be proud of,some you couldn't. Smart kids got pulled out for enrichment, and kids that learned differently got pulled out so that they could do their learning differently. I think it's interesting that we use the word disability because is literally means "not able" when we know that's usually a misnomer. Actually, when I checked the etymology of "ability" it comes from an Old French word appearing in the 1300 and meaning "expertise at handling" something. it's interesting to think of students as expert learners…I guess we should think of them as such because we ask them to spend so much of their waking hours learning…and even if we didn't ask them to a combination of curiosity and experience would ensure that they would! So I guess it makes sense that someone who learns things in the time we expect them to in the way we expect them to would seem to be an expert learner, and someone who didn't learn it in the right time or right way would seem inexpert. This seems like a softer distinction to make: being inexpert at learning, instead of being un-able to learn. The former suggests a degree of hope.
"Learning differences," suggest an even larger degree of hope, but also, as Sally Smith notes in "No Easy Answers," a degree of fear because someone who learns differently must need to be taught differently, and we don't actually know too many ways to teach some things. It's not like body type differences that can be accomodated by a one-size-fits-all size and some elastic bands. There are some things (like reading) that so few educators know how to teach even one way that the idea that you'd need a bunch of different ways is a little overwhelming. OR…if you were thought of it like a scientist after their first cup of coffee, rtather than a teacher after their last period of the day, the prospect might be exciting. I am currently doing new teacher training at Teach For American's summer institute and its amazing to me the absolute brain power it takes beginning teachers to break down a standard into an objective and then visualize their way to a lesson that takes a zillion factors, guidelines and resources into consideration. My reinvigorated awe for the process is what makes it exciting to think of learning to teach in many many different wayus, and also scary because learning to teach well at ALL is so legitimately challenging.
It is at this point that I think "learning divergence" has the same effect on people's ears as learning differences. Divergence has a less neagtive undertone than difference sometimes has, but it still has the power to strike fear into a struggling teacher and inspire interest in an inquisitive researcher (or experienced teacher!).
Regarding Rachel G's commentary on "learning differences," I think her suggestion that fear is at the root of many educators misgivings about students with learning disabilities is right on mark. "Knowing that someone who learns differently must need to be taught differently" places additional stress on a teacher. In the cookie cutter society we live in it's difficult for an educator to approach how to address the needs of student who learn differently. The additional responsibility can be daunting and may manifest feelings directly associated with fear. Fear of failure!
The thought process could be something like this; "How can I teach this student what they need to know?" "What will happen if I can't reach this student?" "Am I trying hard enough?" "What am I doing wrong?" "Have I taught them anything?"
As a new teacher, with three years of experience teaching the spectrum of learning disabled, from mild to severe, I have experienced this fear. Believe it or not, I have learned so much from this fear. It has forced me to think outside the box; to become formally educated in the strategies that will best serve my students, to talk to veteran teachers and to reflect on what is working and what's not working.
I totally agree with Ericka's point. I clearly remember being in training institute and thinking that I didn't have to pay attention to the special education lecture because I was a general educator. Boy was I wrong! Not only was I constantly challenged and frustrated by the inclusion model, I noticed that many of my students who had not been labeled as special education students demonstrated similar learning disabilities. It was definitely a turning point in my teaching when I became more comfortable with differentiation and discovering what truly works for each child.
I think one of the biggest things I learned was how different each child who is labeled as a "special education child" can be. In one class I had 14 different special education students each with different strengths and weaknesses. One of my biggest critiques is how this label has created a catch-all mentality for those of us who are not in the classroom. As stated above there are many different learning disabilities and also special needs that seem to be all lumped together in this label. How can we work to give each child the appropriate attention that he or she needs?
Kami, you make some excellent points! I, too was shocked and amazed to find that as a general education teacher, I needed to know just as much about teaching and accommodating to special needs students in my classes as any special education teacher. I taught inclusion last year, and was so pleased with the model for instruction that I wished all of my classes were that way! This past year was for me, like Kami, a turning point in my ability to recognize and meet some truly struggling students' needs. I got better at accommodating and changing lessons for my kids, along with creating multiple assessments to gauge their progress. In my opinion, like Rachel mentioned above, many teachers fear having to make those accommodations for their kids because they take SO much time and energy on the part of an already overworked teacher. Yet, without such accommodations, many students will fail because they cannot wrap their minds around the work to be done. In my opinion, having a learning disability means that you do not process material according to "normal" methods, meaning that you encounter many challenges in the sorting, ordering, analysis, and response to texts. You require varied explanations of assignments, and may have problems completing standard work. In short, the learning disabled child requires extra support and care in order to succeed in school.
I was interested in what torib3a says in her posting, "In my opinion, having a learning disability means that you do not process material according to "normal" methods, meaning that you encounter many challenges in the sorting, ordering, analysis, and response to texts." What are the normal methods of processing materials?
I had many students this year who were not labeled as Special Education, but who consistently needing extra help to fully understand an English Language Art concept. Part of my duties as a teacher was to conduct an Academic Intervention class for these specific students. Even though they weren't tested as having a disability in reading or writing, I would have to find a different way of presenting the material so that these children could learn effectively. I ended up thinking about the different learning styles, visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc. and coming up with multiple ways of presenting a lesson. I then used the varied lessons in the regular ELA class and finding that all of the students increased their understanding. I also believe it made the lessons more fun for the students.
On page 21 of Sally Smith's book No Easy// Answers, s//he gives the U.S. Government's description of a learning disability, "a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological process involved in understanding and using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell and do mathematical calculations". So my question is, could we break down the way each individual student learns and find that they fit within this definition?
I feel like it is our duty as teachers to try to differentiate what we teach everyday to reach not just the students who have IEP's or who are in a special ed. classroom, but to also help the other students who don't have an official "learning disability", who may need to learn something in a different way. However, this is often easier said than done.
Just as many of you posted, I find it very hard to know how to evaluate the progress of children with IEP's and special needs, whether they are labeled as special ed or not. The bar has been set by No Child Left Behind and we must find a way for all children to reach the benchmark dictated to us. We want all children will meet our high expectations, but is that fair to those who need more time to get there?
Because I taught a special education homeroom my goal was to develop accommodation for each student. However, I never received an inclusion teacher, or had access to IEPs. I did the best I could, but I have not experienced as much success as Tori and Kami. However, I now feel better prepared to combat this scenario, (should it happen again), and I will be able to move forward with strategies learned in this class.

The Yangon Region government is planning to build a river express system for passengers – part of fundamental transport reforms that government officials hope will bring a new wave of industrial goods and commuters onto the country's waterways.
Myanmar is unique in Southeast Asia in boasting waterways – primarily the Ayeyarwady and Chindwin rivers – that connect its main cities, according to the Asian Development Bank. But a lack of infrastructure and investment has left this transport resource sorely underutilised.
The Yangon Region government is hoping to make better use of the city's waterways to help reduce transportation costs and traffic jams, chief minister U Phyo Min Thein said on July 22.
"The government is going to upgrade water transportation for commuters and for transporting goods," he said.
U Maung Aung from the Yangon Region government's Public Transport Authority Group said authorities would issue a tender for companies to build and operate an express river transport system for commuters.
The express system will include jetties at destinations including Hlaing Tharyar, Shwe Pyi Thar and Kyeemyindaing townships, he told The Myanmar Times.
The regional government will decide on where to locate the jetties and the winning company or companies will have to build them, he said, adding that he hoped to see the express system running in October.
State-owned Inland Water Transport – which operates under the Ministry of Transport and Communications – will be in charge of issuing a licence to operate the express system, and making sure safety regulations are met, he added.
Reforming Inland Water Transport is also a key part of a wider effort to update the country's waterway system. The state-owned enterprise (SOE) has long held a monopoly on waterway transport, which in earlier years was an import source of movement for passengers and freight.
But a surge in car and truck ownership on the back of looser import restrictions has eaten into Inland Water Tranport's market share, an ADB report published last week said. The SOE saw freight turnover drop 65 percent between 2011 and 2015, and passenger numbers fell 83pc, the report said.
A lack of fresh investment meanwhile has left the enterprise with outdated ships, jetties and machinery. Inland Water Transport is losing about K400 million a month, according to a separate report sent to the new government.
Inland Water Transport is one of several state-owned enterprises that the new government will privitise or corporatise, deputy minister U Maung Maung Win told The Myanmar Times in May.
U Zaw Win, managing director of Inland Water Transport, told The Myanmar Times on July 22 that privitisation was the ultimate aim, but that this would take some two or three years.
The ADB transport report said the SOE can "rebound from its very degraded situation", but that this will require public financial support for at least two more years.
The Ministry of Planning and Finance will need to restructure Inland Water Transport's financial obligations, and the Ministry of Transport and Communications will need to lay-off or redeploy the firm's staff, the report added.
Myanmar's Road and Inland Water Transport Law, which was designed for a command economy and limits private competition in transport services, should be revised, the ADB said.
U Zaw Win is well aware of the shortfalls in the system. The ships are old, and unable to run 24 hours a day, while machinery and jetties need upgrading, he said.
"Our weak point is that we carry goods and passengers together [on the same ship]," he said, adding that Inland Water Transport plans to separate the two in the future.
Another new policy will see the SOE run ferries to carry shipping containers from jetty to jetty, he said.
This policy is being carried out as part of a Japan International Cooperation Agency project in cooperation with a private marine services company, and there have been successful tests of shipping containers between Yangon and Mandalay, he added.
If the waterways can take more container transport this could help alleviate traffic in downtown Yangon, where heavy trucks ship containers in and out of the city throughout the day, U Zaw Win said.
He added that the ADB also supports the project, and hopes the development bank would invest.
Winfried Wicklein, the ADB's country director for Myanmar, said the bank had not decided whether it would provide lending assistance for river transport. This will be decided through discussion with the government on ADB's proposed country partnership strategy for 2017-2021, he said.

Today is Pi Day, and Microsoft is celebrating the mathematical constant with some impressive deals on Dell laptops. In keeping with the Pi theme, Microsoft is taking 31.4 percent off Dell's latest XPS 13, so it starts at just $685.31 instead of $999. Only the base Core i5 model receives the big discount, but other versions include a $200 reduction. If you're interested in the Inspiron 13 or Inspiron 15, these are both discounted by 31.4 percent also as part of the promotion.
Alongside the Pi Day deals, Microsoft has also revealed its new spring sale that starts tomorrow. There's a $100 discount on some Surface Pro 4 models, and up to 50 percent off a number of PCs and laptops. Microsoft's spring deals last until stocks last, but the special Pi Day discounts on Dell laptops are only available today.

The event is being organised by the Government of Ghana through the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) and Proforest.
It will bring together a wide range of stakeholders from the private sector, civil society and government to discuss the development of the APOI within Ghana and has a number of key objectives.
- Review and validate national principles and actions governing the sustainable production of palm oil in Ghana.
- Agree an implementation framework, including the establishment of a national multi-stakeholder palm oil platform to oversee implementation.
- Reconstitution of the Ghana Country Core Team
- Review how Ghana can contribute to the regional principles for responsible oil palm development across West and Central Africa.
The Honorable Dr. Alhassan, Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture will address the workshop, which will be chaired by renowned forestry expert, Professor J.G.K. Owusu. Other sessions will be led by Proforest's regional director, Abraham Baffoe; Mr. Samuel Avaala, president of the Oil Palm Development Association of Ghana; Christian Mensah of Rainforest Alliance (RA) and a representative from the Partnership for Forests programme who will provide update on the programme's aim to catalyse investment to reduce deforestation.
The TFA 2020 is a public–private partnership that aims to reduce deforestation in supply chains linked to key global commodities (palm oil, soy, beef and pulp and paper). The Africa Palm Oil Initiative (APOI) is TFA 2020's first signatory initiative and aims to develop national and regional principles for responsible oil palm development that takes account of the ambitious development plans of countries in Africa, while addressing environmental and social issues, such as reduced deforestation, greenhouse gases, land tenure, and the rights of indigenous people.
In Ghana, oil palm has become prominent in the national discourse as it becomes clear that its sustainable development will bring economic, social and environmental benefits. Next week's workshop is an opportunity for stakeholders to shape the future direction of palm oil production within both Ghana and the rest of the region.

442 Court St., between 2nd and 3rd Pls., Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn; 718-522-6900
A former owner of Lolita rekindles that Lower East Side spot's easy, indie-minded cool: The place to flee to when the weekend warriors take over Manhattan.
245 E. 55th St., between Second Ave. and Third Ave.; 212-355-4474
A beer garden in midtown? The pub that was once Jimmy Walker's beefs up via pool tables, Celtic music, and a backyard greenhouse that permits watching the game by a fire.
103 Second Ave., at 6th St.; 212-533-6700
It's a bird… It's a plane… It's an Upper East Side sports bar bouncing into the East Village. Sensory overload is delivered by a top-40 D.J., nineteen wide-screen plasma TVs, and buffalo wings from a French Culinary Institute alum.
Circus on 9th
615 Ninth Ave., between 43rd St. and 44th St.; 212-315-4410
Free hot dogs and cheap brews are center stage at this spinoff of midtown favorite Rudy's. Consider it a sideshow to the original.
Double Down
14 Ave. A, between 1st St. and 2nd St.; 212-982-0543
A Vegas dive beloved by strippers and psychobillies brings its bacon martinis and equally crusty atmosphere to the East Village. The punk-rock jukebox gives Library, its kindred spirit across the street, a run for its money.
Dragon Lounge
145 Atlantic Ave., between Clinton St. and Henry St., Cobble Hill, Brooklyn; 718-624-7658
The Chelsea scene struts into Cobble Hill at this gay lounge where disco meets Asian kitsch. During the summer, cabana boys will serve up chilled soju in the backyard patio.
20 Prince St., between Mott St. and Elizabeth St.; 212-966-8886
The small lounge underneath newly opened Nolita brasserie Jacques is an intimate, hookah-free antidote to the current crop of North African party palaces.
Ice Bar and Lounge
31 Second Ave., between 1st and 2nd Sts.; 212-777-0774
Like the bygone Meatpacking spot Go, this minimalist lounge changes colors chameleon-style but never blends into dive-strewn Second Avenue.
Maracuja' Bar and Grill
279 Grand St., between Roebling St. and Havemeyer St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-302-9023
A fifties Williamsburg saloon is revived with artsy touches from an empanada-making co-owner and a willowy backyard that actually deserves to be called a garden.
Mr. Black
643 Broadway, at Bleecker St.; 212-253-2560
The spare yet sexy decor of this former rathskeller survives, but boys now rule the dance floor of what was once Table 50. A low brick ceiling encourages the ferociously fashionable East-meets-West Village crowd to get up close and personal to electro, house, and funk.
345 Grand St., between Havemeyer St. and Marcy St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-0069
At this erstwhile sweatshop in Williamsburg, caipirinhas and mojitos complement free world music performances ranging from jazz to Afro-Cuban to flamenco.
And Coming to Chelsea and the Meatpacking District …
The ground floor is still plywood city, but we've been assured the space that formerly housed Pink Elephant Club will reopen April 10 as Manor. Once you're done admiring the $2 million makeover of leather floors and walls, light-box dioramas, and a D.J. podium done up in 24-karat gold, a flight of Escalades parked outside will take VIPs back home.
Or assuming you have a membership card or are easy on the doorman's eyes, you can walk over to The Plumm, also set to open in mid-April. Noel Ashman, co-owner with celeb pals Chris Noth, David Wells, and Damon Dash is shrinking the capacity of the bi-level space formerly known as NA down to about 400 people; Ann Dexter-Jones and Michael Ault promise to help enrich the plum theme. Across the street, a 15,000-sq. ft. supermarket should rematerialize as the comedy club Comix by fall. Booker Wendy Curtis of Denver's Comedy Works hopes to bring major talent to the 350-seat performance space and two adjoining rooms with bars.
Finally, a couple of Chelsea spaces have undergone sexual reorientation: This Friday, Aaron Tanner, the gay porn star turned naughty promoter opens his first club, Release, at Suede's former address (161 W. 23rd St.; 212-633-6113). An industrial look of steel and concrete will be warmed up by huge paintings by rotating artists. Slated D.J.'s include Eddie Baez, Alex Lauterstein, and Lady Bunny. A few blocks down, VIP NY has become a gentleman's club in a most pronounced sense. At Club 20 (20 W. 20th St.; 212-633-0934), currently open only on Sundays but newly armed with a liquor license, men are giving champagne-room lap dances in addition to getting them.

Egg Scramble
- Published: April 9, 2015
About 100 youth gathered at Gaunt Park Saturday afternoon for the annual community Easter egg hunt, sponsored by Central Chapel A.M.E. Church, whose Youth Group stuffed candy into over 1,500 eggs. Caroline Tucker, center, almost levitated with excitement. The frenzied hunt was over in a flash, but those who gathered more eggs than they needed shared eggs with the latecomers. The Easter bunny also hopped by to spread more sugar-filled joy. See more photos on page 6, as well as in color, online at ysnews.com.

IVC Filter Lawsuit
FDA Warnings on IVC Filter Implants
IVC Filters have been used for many years, their development was designed to help decrease the risks of blood clots to the heart and lungs from the lower part of your body. Bard launched their Recovery IVC Filter in 2003 but quickly discontinued and replaced by the Bard G2 IVC Filter in 2005. As complaints and injuries continued to come into the FDA, the investigation into the IVC Filter began to intensify. It finally reached it's boiling point when the FDA issued a safety alert in 2010, urging doctors and patients to investigate the removal of these temporary filters. The majority of the problems occur when the removable device is not removed in a timely fashion. These "retrievable" IVC Filters were designed for the short term and were to be removed once the blood clot risks subsided. Unfortunately, only a small amount of these devices have been removed which caused the FDA in 2014 announced that these devices should be removed within 29-54 days of implantation.
What is an IVC Filter?
IVC Filters are implanted into the inferior vena cava (IVC) vein. The purpose of the IVC is to transfer blood back from the lower half of the body back to the heart and lungs. The device is an small octopus-like device that expands when it is implanted. These implants occur in the abdomen region and are meant to help individuals that have a temporary increased risk of blood clots originating from the lower half of the body. Blood clots that occur in the heart and lungs can cause Pulmonary Embolisms (PE). There are permanent IVC Filters and Retrievable IVC Filters. The retrievable devices are the ones having the most issues because the filters are being left in longer than it was intended. Here are the manufacturers having complications with their devices:
- Bard Recovery Filter
- Bard G2 Filter & G2 Express Filter
- Cook Gunther Tulip Filter & Celect Filter
- Cordis Optease Filter (Johnson & Johnson)
- Crux Vena Cana Filter
Retrievable IVC Filter Complications
Most of these complications were very preventable as the device manufacturers were warned by the FDA about the issues with these temporary devices being left in too long. All of the below complications can have minor, serious or even fatal side effects. It is important to contact your doctor immediately if you or a loved one has an retrievable IVC Filter implant. You owe it to your health and family to educate yourself about the risks associated with your implant and what happens when it is left in past its intended time. Here are the current complications being caused by IVC Filter implants:
- IVC Filter Migration
- IVC Filter Fractures
- Filter Perforation
- IVC Filter Tilting
- Immovable IVC Filters
Side Effects of the IVC Filters
The tragedy with this device that was meant to help people, is that it has numerous painful and even permanent side effects. That is why it is crucial to contact your doctor as soon as possible to limit any potential complications with your implant. These side effects include:
- Severe Pain
- Infections
- Pulmonary Embolisms
- Hemorrhages
- Perforation of Organs
- Heart Attacks
- Death
Hopefully, you found this information and contact your physician as soon as possible. After speaking with your doctor, make your next call to an attorney so they can review your case and make sure your rights are being protected. The personalized service and close attention to detail our defective medical devices lawyers at Reed & Terry, L.L.P. provide, can get you the results you deserve and need.

The inherent cinematic approach in Mr. Grigorovich's staging of Aram Khachaturian's score falls perfectly in place. Vladimir Vasiliev, as the slave who leads an unsuccessful revolt against the Romans, dances and acts on a heroic level that is the performance of a lifetime. Marius Liepa matches him on every point magnificently as the villain, the Roman general Crassus; Natalia Bessmertnova and Nina Timofeyeva round out the ballet's great original cast. With its phalanxes confronting the camera head-on and its slow-motion shots of Mr. Vasiliev soaring through the sky, the film takes its chances. It is also one of the best dance films ever made.

Very sad to hear that Peter Schutz has died. The 911 and its fans have Peter to thank for saving their bacon – he was the man who took over the loss-making Porsche as CEO in 1981 and famously walked into a product meeting where the 911 production graph on the wall stopped the same year. He picked up a marker and continued the line off the chart, over the desk, across the wall and out the door.
"Do we understand?" asked Peter. Those present must have got it, as the 911 subsequently went from strength to strength. The legend that is Ray Shaffer at Porsche Cars North America put some words about Schutz on his Instagram and I share them below. Ray knew Peter personally and he hits the spot nicely.
With his passing this weekend, we've lost a dear friend, father, husband, leader and mentor in Peter W. Schutz. He leaves this world a better place than the one he found, with his everlasting legacy and thoughtful teachings.
In the Porsche community, he was the man who invited Ferry Porsche back to his office in Stuttgart. He "saved" the 911 model and helped secure its future by championing the Cabriolet, Speedster and 959 developments and by listening to those around him – people like Porsche, Bott, Falk, Singer, Jantke, to name only a few. Peter also let the people of Porsche know their purpose by famously declaring: "as long as I am in charge of this company, we will never go to any race without the objective of winning."
Peter was a great friend of the late Bob Snodgrass and the family of Brumos Porsche. When Bob passed in 2007, Peter was the first person to contact me. I will never forget the thoughtful letter of care and concern he wrote about how to keep the Brumos spirit alive. It became my "go to" reference piece that would serve me well during my tenure as general manager. But I was not alone. Peter was a mentor to many personally and through the pages of his excellent book, The Driving Force.
With thoughts and prayers for Sheila, Lori and the entire Schutz family. Godspeed, Peter.
Peter stayed with Porsche until 1987 and was 87 when he passed. From what I have read, he lived a great life and his work certainly had an untold impact on my career, in many ways bested only by Ferry himself. I cannot begin to describe how many lessons from Peter's career have embedded themselves in my outlook. He was truly a unique individual.
RIP Peter: forever an unforgettable part of Porsche history.

There are no classic Irish cocktail books. It's worth bearing that in mind when taking up the spoon and mixing glass and attempting to concoct an Irish whiskey cocktail.
It's not that Irish whiskey is incompatible with mixing excellent drinks—after all, what drink gives more pleasure than a properly constructed Irish Coffee?—but it has a habit of quietly refusing to participate when you try to do something unfortunate with it. That's a fancy way of saying that when you mix Irish whiskey with something too pungent or use too many ingredients in general you won't be able to taste the whiskey in the resulting drink.
Irish whiskey shares a great deal of DNA with Scotch, and yet when it comes to mixing drinks they end up living a continent apart. Mix Scotch with anything up to and including mezcal, Fernet-Branca and/or Worcestershire sauce and you will taste the Scotch. Mix Irish whiskey even with something as mellow as red vermouth and you end up with a glass full of red vermouth—rich, potent red vermouth, true, but good luck pulling much whiskey out of the blend. That's not to say Irish whiskey is essentially neutral in cocktails, the way vodka is. It's just polite and, uncharacteristically considering where it comes from, more than a little shy.
That doesn't mean you should avoid it. Sure, most of the traditional Irish whiskey cocktails aren't worth a whole hell of a lot. The Tippearary—a World War I-era blend of whiskey, red vermouth, and green Chartreuse that has been getting a fair bit of play these days—is a good showcase for the Chartreuse but not much else. For the Emerald, an Irish-whiskey Manhattan from the bar of the old Waldorf-Astoria, see above. The Blackthorn, from Harry Johnson, the 19th-century master mixologist, is a little better, using as it does the lighter dry vermouth, but it's still on the awkward side: You taste the whiskey, but it's pulling against the (dry) vermouth, the (dry) bitters, and the dashes of (dry) absinthe it's paired with.
But there are ways to make Irish whiskey sing in a mixed drink; to use its light, grainy muskiness and sly richness to mix something subtle, soft, and alluring.
The foremost modern mixer of Irish whiskey is Jack McGarry, co-founder of New York's acclaimed and hideously popular bar, the Dead Rabbit. McGarry's trick, however, is to frame the whiskey with a relatively high number of well-chosen, often exotic other ingredients—e.g., ginger-orange marmalade, Elicser Combier (that's a French liqueur), orange-cream citrate—all used in small amounts. In the hands of a master, that works spectacularly well: the dashes and splashes highlight flavors already in the whiskey or round out what's missing, and the drinks end up harmonious and oh-so-pleasant. But you really need to know your whiskey and the rest.
An easier approach, I've always found, is to plug your Irish whiskey into recipes for successful drinks based on other, bolder whiskies and then dial everything back a notch. Thus, for example, green Chartreuse gets dialed back to the lower-proof, less-intense yellow version, Angostura bitters to orange bitters, and red vermouth to the semi-sweet "bianco" or "blanc" style. (I've always found full-on dry vermouth is pushing things too far: Like all whiskies, Irish works well with a little sweetness in the mix.) Instead of sherry, which has a pungency of its own, try a white port or a Rainwater Madeira.
My favorite deployment of this approach is in something I call Royal Hibernian Punch, an eighteenth-century style "Punch Royal"—where you mix spirits with lemon, sugar and wine—lightened to work with Irish whiskey. I usually make this smooth, pleasant and, as the Irish say, "moreish" (as in, it makes you want more) drink by the bowl, but it's easy enough to make in individual servings. Here's how to make a big, friendly glass of it, enough for several toasts to the Emerald Isle.
Royal Hibernian Punch
Ingredients:.5 oz Granulated sugarPeel of half a lemon (or 2 or 3 lemon twists).5 oz Lemon juice2 oz Irish whiskey (I like Green Spot, Black Bush, Tyrconnell or John Power's here)1 oz Rainwater Madeira or white port2 oz Cold water
Glass: Collins
Garnish: Nutmeg
Directions:Muddle the sugar and lemon peel in a shaker. Then add the fresh lemon juice and stir briefly.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the shaker and fill with ice. Shake and strain into a Collins glass full of fresh ice. Garnish with a little fresh grated nutmeg.

Competitiveness of the Michigan State House
This was a lot of data entry and I appologize in advance for any transcription errors or errors in general. Also when I say competitiveness I generally mean how close the 2016 races were. I basically tried to find the differences between the Democrat and Republican vote percentages (not counting third party and write ins)

Foreign Direct Investment in Carbon Footprint Reduction Projects: The Case of the Russian Energy Market Post-2012
Completed Project (6/2010 - 12/2013), funded by E.ON ERC
Despite of the average decrease of Russia's primary energy intensity by 3.2% and its CO2 intensity by 4% annually between 2000 and 2012 (Enerdata, 2012b, 2012c), the Russian Federation remains the fourth-largest energy consumer after China, United States (US) and India (Enerdata, 2012d) and the fifth-largest CO2 emitter in the world (Enerdata, 2012a). However, such changes in energy- and CO2 intensity are attributed not to the improvements in the efficiency of energy use, but rather to the sharp economic downturn, caused by the transition from the centrally planned economy of the Soviet Union to a market economy during the 1990s, followed by the financial crises of 1998 and 2008-2009.
Poorly maintained technical equipment and low energy efficiency in the country's industry cause a huge wastage of energy resources that increasingly affect the development of the Russian economy. Among other factors a lack of investment in the energy industry impedes a timely improvement. In addition, a rapidly growing domestic demand for energy could lead to energy scarcity for both domestic use and export, as well as an increase in CO2 emissions. Inefficient energy use and the huge volume of carbon emissions alarm international authorities and, in turn, motivate foreign investors to be cautious with business opportunities and calculate risks related to energy efficiency improvement and carbon footprint reduction projects in Russia.
The aim of this research project is to investigate the current development and potential for two market-based mechanisms, i.e. Joint Implementation (JI) and Green Investment Schemes (GIS), as possible forms of channeling foreign direct investments (FDI) into international projects in the Russian energy market post-2012. The timely implementation of these mechanisms for modernizing the Russian energy industry has been expected to bring numerous economic and environmental benefits by providing a balanced win-win situation for both foreign investors and Russia itself.
However, empirical evidence shows insufficient progress regarding the implementation of JI and GIS and hence the accomplishment of long-term FDI is strongly impeded by many country-specific transaction barriers and uncertainties about future climate change policies. In this context, we argue that Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) through Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) can overcome the existing barriers and successfully exploit the opportunities arising from the implementation of the energy efficiency and carbon mitigation investments in Russia independently from the success or failure of the Kyoto Protocol. The Russian ESCO industry, though, is still in its early stage of development. To date, there is no reliable information available about the results of any energy performance-based projects. In addition, no comprehensive academic or non-academic research on the Russian ESCO market has been done before.
We aim to fill part of this research gap. In doing so, we have set a series of goals.The first objective is to understand current and future developments in Russian energy efficiency and climate policy. The second objective is to analyse the development of JI and GIS and the relevant transaction barriers, as well as to evaluate an ESCO business model that facilitates FDI and technology transfer in energy efficiency and carbon mitigation projects post-2012. Finally, we introduce the first systematic empirical investigation of the Russian ESCO industry by looking at experiences of the international ESCO markets and assessing the risks that ESCOs bear in Russia.

Thank goodness for good books! This month's Curious Endeavourance is like a breath of fresh air! While it wasn't a novel that I kept thinking "This is brilliant" as I read each word, the moment I had reached the final period I felt like my whole being had just been rebooted. I was in a strange emotional state, wanting to cry because it beautiful, because it was sad, and because it was over, and yet overcome with a sense of joy, a sense of "I can take this world on!", a sense of purpose, and as I discovered throughout the rest of my day, inspiration. Apparently this was the book I needed to read at this very point in time. Despite my clear emotional connection (See? That which provokes emotion = art!), I had a long debate with myself (and others) as to whether or not I was going to give it 4 or 5 stars. You see, I reserve my 5 stars for books that I can't wait to read again, and I didn't, and still do not yet, feel the necessity to read this again very soon. Yet, thinking on other books that I've enjoyed and given 4's to, I know that The Ocean at the End of the Lane has stuck to me stronger than that. Like the book burrowed its own little worm through my finger-tips and into my heart as I flipped the pages. I finally concluded that it deserved the 5 stars, because even though I don't particularly feel the need to jump right back into its pages, I feel comfort in knowing that it will be there on my bookshelf, just in case I'm ever in need of it again one day, like my own personal shelf-dwelling Hempstocks that I can come crying to when the world stops making sense. This book I recommend, especially on bad day when the evils of your world seem as real to you as fleas, hunger birds, and parents you couldn't possibly trust again... It's not a happy ending, but at least you know that it's okay to not feel grown-up on the inside, at least for today.

I was recently working on a project that had some issues in Firefox 2.0, but not Firefox 3.0. Generally I would frown on this sort of "browser sniffing" approach, but for this it was a requirement and there seemed to be no way around it.
I've used jQuery's $.browser() method to add a class of ff2 to the <body> tag if the browser is indeed Firefox 2.0.
if ($.browser.mozilla && $.browser.version.indexOf('1.8.') > -1) {
Hopefully this helps someone else out there!

Hi everyone! Today is book recommendation day, but first a reminder. I am sure you are all planning to stop by at Sparkle's memorial service/commentathon, but in case someone didn't know about it, I thought I would post it.
I got the book, I Could Pee On This by Francesco Marciuliano for my birthday. Lucy seems to think it is hers which is fine as long as she doesn't pee on it. She is recommending it today:
I am recommending the book I was going to recommend for Dr. Who week because it is by an author from the UK. Sir Patrick Moore was an astronomer who hosted a TV series, The Sky at Night, but he was also a cat lover. He wrote a book about many of the cats he had over his lifetime. The book came out in 2012, a few months before his passing. Here is a link for it: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/miaow-patrick-moore/1111644614?ean=9781845844356.
Starting Monday, we will be having a back to school themed week and another contest.
Now I am off to Sparkle's Memorial.
