The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) prohibits minors under age 18 years old to work in any occupation that it deems to be hazardous. Among these occupations are excavation, manufacturing explosives, mining, and operating many types of power-driven equipment. Certain industries allow minors under age 18 to perform certain tasks at worksites whose primary work activity is dangerous, but these tasks are very specific and the state and federal government closely monitor compliance.
Child labor laws vary from state to state. Regulations provide very specific information on these occupations and other safety standards for minor employees. Please consult your state department of labor for this information.

The Inequality Debate
An Introduction
How we think about income gaps, and how we decide to address them, will do much to alter New Zealand's levels of inequality in the years to come.
The divide between New Zealand's poorest and wealthiest inhabitants has widened alarmingly over recent years, faster than in most other developed countries. Max Rashbrooke's succinct introduction to these changes in our society, drawn from the larger work Inequality: A New Zealand Crisis and updated with the latest evidence in July 2014, is essential reading.
What are BWB Texts?
BWB Texts are short books on big subjects by great New Zealand writers. Commissioned as short digital-first works, BWB Texts unlock diverse stories, insights and analysis from the best of our past, present and future New Zealand writing.

Salient's Best NZ Books of 2014 (so far): 'Max Rashbrooke's slender yet well-researched book lays bare the global problem of income inequality, confirming that New Zealand is one of the OECD's worst offenders. It makes for grim reading. The Inequality Debate is fascinating and horrifying. Published as part of Bridget Williams Books' BWB Texts series, it's so short that you've got no excuse.' Nina Powles, Ben Speak and David Williams, Salient
'We hear so much about the gap between rich and poor, but it doesn't always hit home just how much this divide affects us all, no matter where we sit on the wealth scale. Journalist and author Rashbrooke has written an introduction that explains it all in a way that doesn't feel like a lecture.' Jillian Allison-Aitken, Southland Times
'The Inequality Debate is both fascinating and horrifying. So short that you've got no excuse, this is the best book you can read if you want to be informed on an issue that will dominate the rhetoric of all major political parties this election year.' David Williams, Salient

The New Batcave in Batman v Superman Will Come With Lots of Big Screens and One Upgraded Alfred
Here are pics and quotes to prove it — Fox News, are you jealous?
New year, new Batcave, new Alfred: 2016's Batman v Superman has a sweeping set of updates in store, according to pics and a brief interview over at EW. The magazine on Tuesday unveiled a shot of Batman (Ben Affleck) and Alfred (Jeremy Irons) thinking very hard in the latest iteration of the hero's headquarters — the latter character noticeably wearing an apron of sorts. That's because "Alfred is a lot more hands-on in our film than he has previously been," Irons told EW. "He's a bit of a grease monkey, and he's very involved in the decisions Bruce makes." Here's that new-Batcave-in-action pic, which might remind you of the time Fox News somehow replaced all its desks with the Hulk's tablet collection:
The Batcave is getting a HUGE upgrade in #BatmanvSuperman: https://t.co/II4jowqYuu pic.twitter.com/buCwtmrYcq— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) December 29, 2015
And here's another look, with concept art of the duo's trendy loft-within-a-cave exterior:

You'll be able to see much more of the BvS lair when Zack Snyder's film comes out March 25, 2016. But until then, just marvel at all those screens and think about how much crime-fighting will get done.

Nasus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Sand Strom Nasus Overview/ Introduction:
When I think of a champion being considered a fighter I think of Nasus. Sturdy DPS champion with an ultimate that benefits him being in the throws of combat. A solid amount of base HP modified by abilities that allow him to lane effectively through control. By control I mean Wither and Spirit Fire. Nasus is a medium difficulty champ to play. His abilities are straight forward but it is their application and use that will win the day for you and your team. Let's get started.
The reason I decided to finally make a Nasus build was because I don't see enough of them on The Fields of Justice. I used to main Nasus when I was new to Lol and had no idea what I was doing, I decided to bring him back. The current top build for him isn't even really noticed, it is a successful build but it isn't updated with any of the new items. It focuses on building up Siphon Strike, which is Nasus' main source of damage but there needs to be more that he can bring to the table. That is where this build comes in. Hope you enjoy it, hope it works for you.
Summoner Spells: You're a melee DPS so why not have the new and improved Cleanse? Get exhausted? Want to whoop some *** but you can't see? Cleanse it away. I wouldn't recommend changing this summoner spell for anything else. Ghost for the the fact that using Wither on a target might not always be enough to close the distance so use Ghost to help. Flash is useable but apparently might not be in the game much longer so if you like that over Ghost use it while you can.
Rune Set Up: Plain and simple, ArP so that you can gain the benefit from Siphon Strike early, HP5/Level to boost the laning phase, flat CDR to allow you to use Siphon Strike more often. Seals can be replaced with Dodge Seals, Glyphs can be replaced with MP5, I suggest that you keep ArP, as much as you can, T2's to supplement if needed but Marks NEED to be ArP marks.
Masteries: Standard offensive mastery giving you some solid damage. Bonus damage to minions in order to farm better. 0 points in defense and 9 points in utility.
Item Build: A mixture of survivability and damage. This is primarily to make Nasus a beast at pushing lanes as well as a solid fighter. I think Rageblade is what makes this build really shine, each stack means your Siphon Strike will hit harder which is a nice bonus. If you want to build the Rageblade sooner do it.
Early Game: Nasus should never be mid. His cool downs are too long and his skills don't lend themselves to someone as a mid laner (He's not ranged). Grab your boots and health pots then head to a side lane.You should lane with a range if you can, someone with a form of CC say Annie's Stun, Janna's Knock Up, Fiddle's Silence and Fear etc. Focus on last hitting with Siphon Strike that is all you should focus on leveling and using. It can be a mana drain but using it when you know you're going to kill the minion will make each hit worh it. Don't worry about being harassed too much you're a durable champ and shouldnt have trouble life stealing your HP back due to Nasus' passive.
Mid Game: Now there should be a little bit of ganking, pushing, and small skirmishes 2-3v2-3. Your job as a DPS is to focus their squishest champs first. You're durable but not unkillable. Nasus has ther best (one of the best) slows in the game. It's a solid way to help your tank initiate, let the tank go in then you find your target and slow them to a crawl, throw Spirit Fire under them to reduce their armor and then start swinging.
Late Game: It's what William Dafoe called a firefight in Boondock Saints. Corpses stack high, towers are turned to rubble, blood turns the river of Summoner's Rift crimson and you Nasus are the cause of it. (Assuming you have competent team-mates) It's the same formula as mid game during teamfights, however the damage you should be putting out now is so great that people will want to focus you. All I can say is let them, you're not unkillable but you are extremely durable focus one target and then another you should be alright. Always slow your target then put Spirit Fire under them, make them fight in it so it puts the edge in your favor. Just play smart, if you're solo pushing a lane then GTFO after you notice the whole enemy team missing on your mini map. To win you need towers, but one of the best ways to kill towers is by getting kills.
Closing: Hope you enjoyed the guide, I appreciate all questions or comments. Please don't downvote or up vote without reason so I know how to improve my guide.

VIBE Vixen Fashion Week F/W 2012 Recap Report
Rebecca Taylor
For Rebecca Taylor's Fall 2012 collection, she played with lush layering of chunky knits, rich custom-printed fabrics, and detailing like shearling and lace. This season's rocker-chic aesthetic was a slight departure from her more feminine appeal, but still included signature RT elements like patchwork detailing. Menswear-inspired looks included tailored trousers, oversized blazers and quilted leather. Taylor stuck to a neutral palette of grays, blacks, plums and browns. Cropped vests with mink detailing and pops of unexpected prints like blue snakeskin rounded out the show.

Author Notes: A very traditional Japanese sticky rice often cooked for festivity occasions. —Chako
Serves: 6
cups Sticky rice
cup Aduki (Red Beans)
cups Aduki Boiled water
pinch Black Sesame & Salt
- Preparation (Night Before Cooking) Wash the sticky rice in water and soak for about 30 minutes before use.

Return the beans back into the pan with about 7 cups of water, boil in medium to low heat for about 15-20minutes without letting the beans split. The beans should be slightly stiff but NOT HARD. Separate the beans and the red bean water; refrigerate the beans (without letting it go dry) and let the red bean water cool. Once the red bean water has cooled, soak the sticky rice overnight.
- Drain the stick rice before cooking.
- Soak the pre-cooked 1 cup of red beans in 3/4 cups of red bean juice(1) + 3/4 teaspoon of salt (*).
- Using a steamer, wrap the drained sticky rice in a 'steaming cloth'. Steaming in high heat for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and add (*) mixing evenly in a big bowl.
- Place it back in the steamer, to steam for 20 minutes or so occasionally turning the rice upside down to avoid uneven steaming and watering (spraying) it with you hands to avoid letting it to go dry.
- The rice will slightly stiffen once cool so see if the rice is soft enough after 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool wrapped within the steamer cloth and place the rice in a container without letting it go dry.

Writer Celeste Fremon details the fall of Lee Baca in the latest issue of Los Angeles magazine. The story also focuses heavily on Paul Tanaka, a candidate for Los Angeles County Sheriff, and the work culture Baca and Tanaka created.
"Sheriff Lee Baca fancied himself a visionary. His number two, Paul Tanaka, considered himself a force to be reckoned with. Together they allowed one of the nation's most powerful law enforcement agencies to drift into a morass of scandal that compelled both to retire," Fremon writes.
Statement from Campaign Spokesman Reed Galen:
"We fundamentally disagree with the story and how it portrays Paul Tanaka's character and his record with the Sheriff's Department. We cooperated with Ms. Fremon on multiple occasions, providing insight and clarity to some of her attacks and little to nothing was used of those conversations. Ms. Fremon's story is a one-sided hit piece that explores old and tired attacks on an individual who has dedicated over 30 years of his life to public safety in Los Angeles County. She has built her career by tearing down public safety officials and it is clear this story is no different."
Statement from Paul Tanaka:
Celeste Fremon, creator and editor of WitnessLA.com and an award-winning journalist specializing in gangs, law enforcement and criminal justice. She is the author of "Downfall," which details the fall of Lee Baca, in the March issue of Los Angeles magazine.

OPI - It's My Year (aka: my engagement polish!)
First off, I want to say thank you for all of the lovely comments you left on my engagement announcement post. They've made this special time that much more special. And you should know that David has read each and every one of them as well and he's feeling quite proud of himself! You're all making his head swell, haha!
With that said, today I will be showing you a swatch of my new favourite nail polish - OPI It's My Year. As many of you already know, this is the polish that David used in his proposal to me, so I of course had to immediately put it on my nails as a full mani! (Luckily, I already owned this shade, so I used my own bottle and the special proposal bottle will be placed on display in our living room.)
OPI It's My Year is from the limited edition Miss Universe Collection that was released last summer. It's a lovely purple base with heavy gold foil shimmer. It's quite eye-catching and it's a polish that even without the new special meaning, I would have worn as a full mani on a regular basis.
The formula is on the thin side, but it's easy to work with and definitely not to the point of being runny. I used three coats for my swatch.
I'm pretty much still in shock about the engagement and it feels so surreal to even be talking about it! And I can't stop staring at my rock of a ring! He did good, haha.
I'm definitely going to be on a high for quite some time now. :)

Portland transportation officials are planning to close one lane of Northwest Glisan Street in the Pearl District for two weeks in February.
The right and westbound lane of Northwest Glisan Street, between Northwest 11th and 13th avenues, will be closed all days and hours Feb. 8-24, according to the Portland Bureau of Transportation.
Road crews will repair the failed road base under the asphalt surface.
Drivers are advised to expect delays and travel cautiously. The project is weather-dependent, possibly forcing the schedule to change.

Wanna Dress Like Michelle Trachtenberg & Alyson Hanningan? Now You Can!
BCBGeneration is coming to a mall near you! The affordable brand by Max Azria, (that's also popular on the red carpet!), is finally getting it's own slew of stores! Shop the look with our picks!
While you may be used to seeing BCBGeneration in Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Dillard's, and Bloomingdale's, now you won't have to hit up a department store to scoop up your favorite pieces! According to WWD, Max Azria already opened its first store at the Shops at Mission Viejo, California, but is planning to open 25-40 by the end of the year. Based on the celeb fans, like Michelle Trachtenberg, Selena Gomez, and Alyson Hanningan, and their affordable price point, we're sure the new venture will be a success! Along with clothes, the stores will carry handbags, sunglasses, shoes, and come fall, jewelry. The brand is even planning to create a fragrance! The stores are about much more than clothes," said Joyce Azria to WWD, (Max Azria's daugher and BCBGeneration's creative director), "We're selling a whole lifestyle range of products, and a positive and happy shopping experience."

The Legacy of the Aldenata, also known as the Posleen War Series[1] is the fictional universe of one of John Ringo's military science fiction series.
The central premise is that in 2006, humanity receives greetings from a highly advanced, peaceable Galactic Federation. However, all is not well, for a species of aggressive aliens known as the Posleen are attacking the Galactics. Since the Galactics are almost entirely unable to fight, they are appealing to the proven military abilities of humanity for aid.
However, things are rarely as simple as they seem, and humanity soon discovers that the Galactics are no friends at all. There are plots within plots, some going back to the dawn of humanity and beyond: plots that endanger the very survival of humanity.
The first four novels cover the Posleen War in which the Posleen invade Earth. Another novel, Cally's War, takes up the story a few decades later; The Hero is set nearly a thousand years later. Watch on the Rhine takes place immediately after Gust Front and extends until March 2008, with the very last chapter taking place at some unspecified point far after the end of Hell's Faire but prior to the beginning of The Hero.
A role-playing game based on the d20 system and the Legacy of the Aldenata universe will be published in the near future. An early version of this game is available on the free CD-ROM included in the first hardcover edition of Hell's Faire.
The fourth novel Hell's Faire includes some Sluggy Freelance guest strips by Pete Abrams since the popular internet comic strip is featured somewhat prominently in a way. (A massive armored military vehicle is named after Bun-Bun the mini-lop from the strip.) Some of the strips are samples of the actual comic strip and others are an exclusive alternate timeline setting where the Sluggy characters have to deal with the Posleen invasion.
As the Posleen have yellow blood, the war song March of Cambreadth ("Let their yellow blood run cold") becomes popular with the military. The song, its lyrics, and artist's bio is included in the Baen Free Library.
There are several major races in the universe of the Legacy of the Aldenata.
- Darhel
- Elf-like in appearance, they are the lawyers and bankers of the Galactic Federation and effectively control it, skimming wealth from the labor of others. Although vegetarian, they have razor-sharp teeth. While smaller than humans, Darhel have far greater physical abilities - and some would say their mental abilities are just as advanced, particularly a subtle but potent ranged empathic ability. However, they are devout pacifists. These contradictions are the result of genetic tampering on behalf of a powerful and arrogant elder race, the Aldenata. Although the full extent of this tampering is not detailed, the most crippling is their pacifism - when Darhel are stressed, their bodies produce an epinephrine analogue they call lin - which unlike epinephrine, augments both physical and mental abilities. The Aldenata altered Darhel biochemistry so that heightened lin levels induce a permanent coma-like state known as lintatai. This, in combination with their empathic ability, left them extremely inept at violent acts and physically incapable of taking any form of animal life. Their survival has thus become dependent on their ability to manipulate others to fight their battles for them. The Darhel are implied to be attempting to mold Humans into a race of Mamlukes]; recruiting the planet's most skilled warriors to fight the Posleen on Galactic worlds, preserving their bloodlines by moving family members to protected worlds - and permitting the Posleen to conquer Earth, thus leaving Humanity dependent on the Darhel as all other Galactic races. Ultimately, the majority of the Darhel are wiped out by Humans in the aftermath of the Posleen War, leaving them the underclass of Galactic civilization.
- Indowy
- Short and stocky with green fur (which is actually a photosynthetic symbiote), they are the engineers and technicians of the Galactic Federation. A rare and valued number are more precisely the organic central processing units of the Galactic Federation's nanotech assemblers. Though the products of these assemblers are at least an order of magnitude more advanced than anything humans can produce throughout the Posleen war, the nature of the process means that each item is for all intents and purposes hand-crafted - mass production is impossible. They live in enormous hives in massively overcrowded sweatshop-planets and are effectively enslaved by the Darhel. Many are involved in a conspiracy to bring down the Darhel, called the Bane Sidhe.
- Tchpth
- Crablike in appearance, they are philosophers and scientists.
- Himmit
- Resembling a sort of symmetrical frog, they are extremely secretive and capable of camouflage to the point that they can effectively "disappear." Their stealth technology is the finest in the universe.
- Posleen
- Resembling reptilian centaurs, they are rapacious conquerors who strip whole planets the way locusts strip a field. They have been genetically engineered to be resistant to all known toxins, to have an incredibly short maturity time, and to have skills programmed into their DNA. Only a small percentage are truly intelligent, while the rest are semi-morons telepathically bonded to an intelligent master, or God King.
- Tslek
- The "Blobs," they resemble giant amoebas, although they must have a more complex internal structure. They are a relatively late addition, appearing only in The Hero, while at war with Humans
- Aldenata
- A mysterious [elder race, they created Galactic society and then vanished without a trace, apparently having transcended the need for material bodies. The glossary in "Yellow Eyes" describes the Aldenata somewhat disparagingly as "Galactic Tranzis", largely disappeared from the Galactic scene in sheer funk and shame at the damage they had, despite all the best intentions, wrought." Elsewhere in the book they are described, similarly disparagingly, as "Galactic do-gooders." They were consummate masters of genetic engineering, and had no qualms against modifying sentient species into what they felt were more "suitable" - both the Posleen and the Darhel were confirmed to have been modified in "Yellow Eyes" and "The Hero", respectively. It is speculated that all sentient races in the Galaxy carry their "legacy" of genetic tampering. The implied author statement is that none of the factions encountered in the series are malicious, but merely forced into destructive acts by their modified natures - the Aldenata are the only true "evil" in their namesake fictional universe.

According to John Ringo's website, five more books in the series are planned, with two following the continuing adventures of Cally O'Neal and the remainder following Mike O'Neal, the hero of the first four Aldenata books. Two electronic books, set in England and Saudi Arabia, have been created by a fan and are considered canon by Baen Barflies, but the canonical status of such works is uncertain. Copies have been floating around the Baen forum and a request there will find one.
- The popular sci-fi game, Starcraft was referenced in the book Hell's Faire, when the repair brigade commander in charge of the repairs to SheVa Nine mentions that the civilian consultant wants to use AI of a computer game for targeting, then mentions that the Darhel will be Protoss (due to their appearance) and the Himmits will be Ghosts (due to their stealthy nature).
Military forcesEdit
The series premises total mobilization of the human population of Earth. The US military expands tremendously with near-disastrous results. See also US forces.
The technology made available includes rejuvenation and life extension. The desperate straits of the setting lead to the revival of the Waffen-SS in The Watch on the Rhine. With the rejuvenations in full swing in Germany, many ex-SS officers have become young again. While the majority of the ex-SS were just soldiers, a few are hardcore Nazis. This causes a lot of dissent in the German Parliament and citizenry. The Greens and the Reds (political parties within Germany) organize riots and protests; the re-integration of the SS officers and the choice of the Parliament and Chancellor to give to those officers control of the training of the young men of Germany.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
And not a moment too soon. The worm, which is also known as Downadup, Kido, Confick and the April Fool's Day worm, is creating a vast botnet with an as-yet-unknown purpose. One of the few facts researchers know about the worm is that it's designed to begin seeking out new orders from its creators on April 1.
Technology vendors are actively doing what they can to ensure that the worm is detected and blocked -- a massive undertaking that's yielded some staggering statistics as the industry locks down botnet-controlled domains and hunts infected PCs.
"We have blocked over 300,000 names so far in the domains that we support," Heather Read, senior director for communications at top-level domain (TLD) operator Afilias, told InternetNews.com. "We expect that, over the course of the year, this number will be significantly more, likely in excess of one million names."
Afilias is a member of the Conficker Working Group, which brings together TLD (top level domain) operators, industry leaders like Microsoft and ICANN, and security researchers.
Involving members of the domain community like Afilias, which currently supports 15 TLDs including.org, could be critical to helping stop the spread of Conficker. The latest variants of the worm use randomly registered domains as part of its command-and-control network.
"The belief is that if we prevent the registration of these domains, we will deprive Conficker's creators with Internet resources that they could potentially use to control and update the botnet," Read said.
Aside from its domain-based command-and-control network, Conficker at its most basic level is a Windows PC-based worm that affects consumer desktops. And given the massive rate of Conficker-controlled domains, it's no surprise that plenty of systems have been hijacked.
According to Jeffrey Shipley, manager of intelligence collection and analysis at Cisco Security Research and Operations, Conficker's infection rates are relatively low in the U.S., while higher in other areas.
Shipley told InternetNews.com that the Conficker.C worm has infected about 10 million Windows-based computers in 150 countries, with China's level of infection estimated at 3 million, Brazil at 1 million and Russia at 800,000. In the United States, researchers suspect about 200,000 computers have been infected.
"While most enterprise customers have seen low infection levels, certain customers have seen more significant issues," Shipley said. "In particular, environments with loosely managed computers have been hard hit. Examples include hospital environments in which computers are unpatched for extended periods, and technologies such as IPS (define) and CSA [Cisco Security Agent, an endpoint security and antivirus solution] may not have been deployed."
Like the worm itself, identifying Conficker is an evolving task, researchers say. For the most part, until today, Conficker infections have been detected by local users who update their PCs and run antivirus software.
As of today, however, researchers have developed new remote scanning technologies that can identify if Conficker is running on a particular network. Nessus, nmap, McAfee and Qualys are among the vendors deploying the technology, thanks in part to an effort led by the Honeynet Project, a nonprofit security research effort.

I got my white chenille rocking chair and ottoman out of storage this week and put it in my daughter's room. It was extremely dirty from being in storage for 2 years and from my daughter coloring on it with hot pink sharpie when she was about a year old. I took some cleaners to it and washed the covers for the cushions. The cushions came pretty clean, but the ottoman and the arms of the chair were very stained and none of the pink sharpie came out at all, so I decided I was going to make slip covers.
I really don't like slip covers. I think they look cheap, but I don't have the energy to re-upholster the whole chair, so I'll try to make it look not cheap. There was lace at the top of the flat sheet that I had chosen to make the slip cover from, but it was coming off here and there so I sewed that back on first. I pinned the sheet straight to the ottoman and used my tailors chalk to draw a line where to cut. The lace wouldn't reach all the way around so I make a little placket out of one of the pillow cases, which also had the lace on the end. I cut a piece quite a bit larger but the same shape that I needed for the top and pinned it to the top of the sides, (wrong side out, by the way) pinning the fabric together instead of into the ottoman. Then I slipped that off and sewed it all up where everything was pinned. I made a big bow (and I did this blindly, with no pattern, so I can't really explain how I made the bows, but it's similar to a bow tie and tied the same) and sewed that to the front and it just so happens that the bow was perfectly sized to cover the placket that I had to add.
The arms of the chair were very dirty. I wanted the lace at the bottom of the arm covers so I used the 2 pillow cases. I cut them open down the side and bottom seam and placed them over the arms of the chair. I pinned them directly into the chair all the way around, marked with my tailors chalk and cut the excess off. I then made 2 pieces slightly bigger than the front of the arms of the chair and pinned that to the fabric, marked and cut. I took the pins out of the chair and sewed the arms up, hemming all around the raw edges. I used ribbon to hold the backs of the arm covers tight. It ties into a cute bow in the back. I made 6 more smaller bows and tacked them on each of the covers.
I think it looks quite nice and it's very comfortable. :) I may make a throw pillow out of the rest of the sheet.

I was featured in my favorite blog!
I read this blog almost every day and It was really my inspiration to start a blog showing my own creations. Kylee's tie dyed jumper made the page on father's day. I can't believe I missed it!

Ten Quick Details Concerning Lpg Conversions
Fuel financial savings:
Fuel saving for chauffeurs of business lorries can be huge. A business vehicle with a yearly gas mileage of 50,000 miles can anticipate yearly fuel expenses of ₤ 6,500 (gasoline) or ₤ 5,356 (diesel). The ordinary expense to cover the exact same variety of miles with LPG is just ₤ 3,744.
LPG offers huge economic savings when compared with gas, there is no denying this reality. However, LPG as gas is not as reliable as petroleum in regards to miles each gallon, so the best means to compute savings is to approximate the cost of driving 1000 miles on gas compared with 1000 miles on LGP gas.
Expenses say goodbye to for insurance:
Several drivers believe that vehicles with LPG conversions will certainly a lot more expensive to guarantee. Nevertheless, a survey executed by the LPG Organization (LPGA), essentially revealed that this isn't really the instance. The top 20 insurer all stated they insure a LPG converted vehicle as long as the conversion had actually been executed by an LPG authorized installer. Just two insurance firms advised they would bill an additional premium.
LPG is considered much safer than gasoline or diesel:
According to the LPG Organization (LPGA), the gas is significantly safer to utilize than petroleum or diesel. This is mainly due to the fact that the gas is saved in a robust fuel tank, which is examined to strenuous criteria. Also, in the case of an accident, LPG tanks shut down the gas supply automatically.
It has actually never been less complicated to fill out:
There are currently more than 1,300 LPG terminals in the UK. LPG pumps are virtually the like old-fashioned petrol pumps and all LPG terminals are relatively comparable in the way they do points. The majority of LPG pumps have clear diagrams in order to help on your initial visit and also it's difficult to put diesel or petroleum in your LPG container inadvertently.
LPG is preferred globally:
Travelling with an LPG vehicle is a desire; you can attain nearly double the gas mileage for the very same expense as a gasoline car can. LPG is easily offered in Europe, however it is more frequently known as Autogas or GPL.
LPG is additionally very prominent in The Netherlands, Serbia, Italy, Poland, Australia, Korea and also Hong Kong. The former Soviet republic of Armenia might, nevertheless, be the world leader in autogas make use of.
Decreased upkeep levels:
Owners of autos with LPG conversions experience a general reduction in engine wear and also LPG is tidy burning and includes no carbon or lead down payments. It additionally minimizes upkeep costs on valves, ignition system, pistons as well as rings.
Government grants:
Whilst the Federal government continues to minimize duty on eco pleasant alternative gases as well as offer Blockage Cost exemption they are additionally supplying grants to automobile owners, fleets and also companies which consider LPG conversions or other environmentally friendly alternative fuels.
You could purchase or convert:
If you have a relatively brand-new fuel automobile or light business lorry, or even a black taxicab that requires a new engine, after that you should select a LPG conversions. If you have a diesel car or van, or an older gasoline cars and truck or light commercial lorry that gets on its last legs after that the solution is not to transform to LPG yet to buy a new LPG vehicle.
No loss of performance:
Many auto proprietors believe that cars with LPG conversions have a reduced efficiency– this is an usual misunderstanding. The fact is that if there is any kind of modification in performance from LPG it will be negligible as well as most vehicle drivers would be unlikely to find the difference.
Automotive gases are frequently taking the blame and criticism from conservationists as the main root cause of inadequate air top quality problems in the UK. Automotive vehicles discharge a blend of harmful gases consisting of Sulphur Dioxide Hydrocarbons, Micro particulates as well as Nitric Oxides to name however a couple of.
Inning accordance with research carried out by the Norfolk Area Council, LPG cars and trucks create considerably much less emissions. People and organisations that embrace the environmentally-friendly different vehicle gases and also technologies are not just producing cost savings on their own yet likewise for the bigger society.
Poor air top quality, because of high levels of harmful exhausts, imposes social prices that are mostly connected with health care prices. Illness resulting from these emissions consist of Heart disease, Respiratory system issues and also Bronchitis, which all relate to bad air quality.

Buy ENERGY STAR® certified products to save you money!
With hot, humid, sunny summers in much of the country, more Canadians are using cooling and ventilating equipment to keep their homes and businesses cool. While space cooling only accounts for 1% of the energy used in the average Canadian home, and 4% in commercial and institutional settings, this trend has been increasing over the past 10 years.
When buying cooling and ventilating equipment, it's important to remember the cost of energy to operate a product over its lifetime is just as important as its purchase price. For cooling equipment, operating costs are calculated by factoring in how many days during the year you need to cool, the cost of electricity in your area, the cooling capacity of the unit, and the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER).
Make the switch to an ENERGY STAR certified air conditioner or fan to cut your electricity bill and reduce your carbon footprint.
ENERGY STAR certified residential cooling equipment
The following ENERGY STAR certified products are available in Canada.
- Central air conditioners ("central air" or A/C)
- Room air conditioners
- Connected or "smart" thermostats
Heat pumps with a reverse-cycle feature can be used for air conditioning as well as space heating. Find more information on air-source and ground source heat pumps.
ENERGY STAR certified residential ventilating products
- Ceiling fans
- Dehumidifiers
- Heat/energy recovery ventilators
- Ventilating fans (including bathroom/utility fans and range hoods)
Find certified products using the ENERGY STAR Product Finder. (Note: you will be redirected to the US ENERGY STAR website. Click "Canada" as your market).
Regulated commercial/industrial sized cooling equipment NOT eligible for ENERGY STAR
- Chillers
- Large air conditioners, heat pumps and condensing units
- Packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumps
- Single package vertical air conditioners and heat pumps
Helpful tips
- Reduce the humidity levels in your home.
- Combine fans and air conditioners to further reduce your energy bills. Set your thermostat two degrees higher and use ceilings fans to circulate cool air. This can reduce your air conditioning costs by 14 percent.
- Aim for comfort, not chill. The recommended temperature is between 25 and 27°C.
- Keep your cooling and ventilation systems clean – regularly clean filters, coils and ductwork to make sure it's running as efficiently as possible. Consult your owner's manual for detailed instructions.
- Visit the individual product pages above for more helpful tips.
- For further information on improving energy efficiency at home or work, visit our energy efficiency library.
- See our list of ENERGY STAR participating manufacturers and retailers.
Tools to find energy efficient cooling & ventilating products
- The easiest way to identify an efficient air conditioner or fan is to look for the ENERGY STAR symbol. All ENERGY STAR certified products are tested to strict efficiency standards and are certified by an independent third party. They perform the same as or better than standard products without compromising performance in any way.
- The "ENERGY STAR Most Efficient" designation is offered each year to products that are "the best of the best" – the top energy performers in their class. Learn more about ENERGY STAR Most Efficient.
- Use the EnerGuide label on some cooling and ventilation products to compare a model's energy consumption to similar models. Learn more about EnerGuide labels.
- Many types of cooling and ventilating equipment must meet minimum energy efficiency standards as regulated under Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations. The Regulations help eliminate the least efficient products from the Canadian market.
The ENERGY STAR name and symbol are trademarks registered in Canada by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and are administered and promoted by Natural Resources Canada.

These questions were e-mailed to the Monroe Michigan State University Extention office on April 11 and answered by Jennie Stanger.
Q: I have an Adams crabapple tree and it has a gray moss, fungus (?) growing all over it. The gray stuff has kind of a scale look to it. I can scrape it off. The tree is covered on the trunk and the more woody branches. It's about 18 years old. I also have noticed it on an elm tree near by.
The tree also gets yellowing (with reddish patches on the leaves) curled-up leaves after a month or so.
Any suggestions as to what this is and how to fight it? Thanks for your time.
— Mike
A: Go to www.msu.edu and search for "lichen photo" to find the 2007 article by Dr. Bert Cregg excerpted here.
"... a grayish or greenish growth that forms on the trunks and stems of trees. These growths are lichens. Lichens are actually two organisms, a fungus and an algae that form a symbiotic relationship and function very much like one organism.
"A common question about lichens is "Do they harm trees?" The answer is no. The algae part of the lichen is photosynthetic, and therefore they are able to produce their own energy and do not take any resources away from the tree. In fact, lichens often grow on non-living substrates such as wood, concrete, tombstones, benches and so on.
"If a homeowner observes a dead tree or dead branch covered with lichens on it, this is a coincidence; the lichens did not cause the branch or the tree to fail. The tree trunk or branch simply provides a porous surface for the lichen to attach."
The leaf yellowing you mention is likely to be a fungus called apple scab. You can spray for it, but most people do not spray their ornamental trees for leaf fungi, and it seldom prevents a crabapple tree from having showy blossoms in spring.
Q: I have been growing pumpkins, cucumbers and zucchini in my home garden for more than 15 years. For the last five years, the plants begin to die off before they start to produce. The leaves start to turn white and then the whole plant dies.
Is there anything that I can do to prevent this? I am growing in high clay soil with 100 percent sun. I have gone from producing several hundred pumpkins to none and have been reducing the size of my garden from 350 by 250 feet to 100 by 50. I have tried rotating the vine crops from one end of the garden to the other without success.
— D.W., South Rockwood
A: The last few years I think area home gardeners have had more powdery mildew than in previous years, partly due to weather conditions, but it is a common disease of vine crops in this area. Usually it begins to show up around the first of August, when the nights get cooler, but it started earlier last year and many gardeners lost their plants before the end of summer.
When you see the first small whitish or powdery-looking spots on the older leaves of squash and pumpkins, you need to start spraying to protect the remaining leaves from infection. Some of the more effective garden fungicides to prevent this have the active ingredient chlorothalonil and are sold as Daconil, Fungonil, Ortho-Max, etc. A regular spray program through late summer and early fall will be necessary to keep plant leaves alive and functioning to mature the squashes and pumpkins. Be sure to follow label instructions, of course.
It is likely that your cucumbers had an additional disease with different symptoms called downy mildew, which is generally not controlled by fungicides available to home growers, but they may have had powdery mildew as well. Some gardeners feel that allowing cukes to grow on a trellis or fence to get them up in the air helps delay the onset of fungus diseases.

Jor-El revealed! Russell Crowe snapped in Superman costume
Russell Crowe was spotted on the Superman set in his full Jor-El costume, which includes armor-like shoulder pad and chest plate and a long robe.
Russell Crowe has been working hard to get in shape for his new role as Superman's biological dad, Jor-El from Krypton. The 47-year-old actor was spotted on set in his full Jor-El costume – which almost reminds us of something he would have worn on his hit movie Gladiator.
Crowe's costume consists of armor shoulder pads and chest plates and a long maroon cape. His hair is longer and he has a gray beard. He was spotted smoking a cigarette on the Vancouver set of his action-packed movie, which stars Henry Cavill as Superman. Check out more photos of Crowe as Jor-El at the Daily Mail.
Marlon Brando played Jor-El in the original Superman in 1978. This current reboot, directed by 300 director Zack Snyder, also stars Kevin Costner and Amy Adams as Superman's adoptive parents.
Crowe has been tweeting his workout routine to get ready for his role. "2000 m row, 30 mins body movement with weighted objects, 4 hours in the tank," he tweeted yesterday.
So, now that we have seen Jor-El's costume – what else can we expect from Man of Steel?
"Literally, the one thing that everyone can start to think about is that we're making a movie that finally goes with the approach that there's been no other Superman movies," director Snyder told the Los Angeles Times. "If you look at 'Batman Begins,' there's that structure: there's the canon that we know about and respect, but on other hand there's this approach that pre-supposes that there haven't been any other movies. In every aspect of design and of story, the whole thing is very much from that perspective of 'Respect the canon but don't be a slave to the movies.'"
Man of Steel is slated to hit theaters June 14, 2013.

How I Got My Dream Job: John Rizen, Magician
Magicians have been with us for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Historians date the first usage of the word as early as the 14th century, and trace its etymological origins to the magus, a type of ancient Persian priest, and cognate maghdim, a Chaldean term for "wisdom and philosophy." Fast-forward a handful of centuries later, and the word's basic connotations still apply, at least to modern-day magician John Rizen, a Canadian-born magic master and mogul currently based in Vancouver, BC. For the past six years, Rizen had managed to carve out a career path doing what he loves, through hard work, self-defined hustle, and of course — and please forgive the mandatory pun — a little magic.

In our high-tech world, where we can be "connected" to almost anyone, anywhere at any time, we can easily take connections for granted. At the touch of a button, we can connect with one particular person or with a group of millions. What an amazing world in which we live.
From more than 60 years ago, I remember Dick Tracy in the comics, who had a radio-phone watch that he could use to talk with others. Now that gadget exists. We can connect with others so easily now in so many ways, yet the important question is, "How might that connection be or become a relationship of meaning, purpose and value?" To build on last week's article, let's consider how to "be present" with the connections we create in person, via a gadget or other means in simple and basic ways. It is the personal relationship aspect of meaning, purpose and value that is most important.
What is the difference that is experienced in an interaction, connection or relationship to give meaning, purpose or value? Is it a mental, emotional, heartfelt, physical or a spiritual resonance? What creates meaning, purpose or value for you? I think it can be one or all of those types of experiences.
Consider the connections you have without meaning, purpose or value. Or can that happen?
Here are some simple and basic approaches for you to ponder while creating your next connections, whether with customers, co-workers, friends or family:
• Use the person's name and make eye contact.
• Make the connections person to person, face to face when possible and be personal and professional.
• Ask short and simple questions. Open-ended questions will get more information and details.
• Ask if they have any questions, ideas, concerns or suggestions as appropriate for the situation.
• Ask, "How can I best respond to your need or interest today?"
• Speak with intention of care, concern and service. With such intention, words - and connections - become more than words.
• Acknowledge and recognize contributions small and large. A few words of recognition and appreciation can heartily feed the mind, body energy and soul.
• Following up on questions, special requests and checking in on how things are going will reinforce and remind folks of previous connections.
• "Please," "thank you," "I'm sorry" and words of gratitude can accentuate a connection.
• When connecting with new folks, share your name and ask for their name. As appropriate, let them know how to easily get in touch with you regarding questions, follow-up and future needs.
The use of simple and basic approaches can sometimes be like common sense that is not always very common. Simple words, simple thoughts and simple truths can often be the strongest words of wisdom and create the strongest connections.

LAS VEGAS -- Yeah, I know.
What goes on in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas.
And I am not sure if people really care what I did on my trip out of town, but when I see in the archives people such as
former publisher Charles Richards writing miles of copy on his fishing trips in the past, I know I am in great company, and I am keeping the Regional Publishing tradition alive.
So bear with me as I delve into tales of goofiness from a city that never sleeps written by a guy who always has Jeff-lag and always wants to sleep.
Pencil-thin Penn
For years, I have joked to people that if they want to look skinnier, just take a photo with me. My height and weight make people look petite. I feel that provides a good service – doing God's work if you will – in making people feel batter so give me that last slice of pizza, please.
Well, I was in Vegas with my son, T.J., for his basketball tournament and the first night we were able to catch irreverent magicians Penn & Teller at the Rio. They are usually more funny than amazing but on this night they were more amazing than funny, but it was still a great show.
Penn Jillette is this big boisterous 6-foot-7 dude who wears glasses and wears his long hair in a ponytail. And, like me, he has the frame of a guy who wants that last slice of pizza. Teller is an older, smaller guy who rarely talks on stage.
Penn looked the same on stage on this night.
After the show, the two hung out in the lobby and posed for pictures.
Being the old and jaded writer that I am, I have met a lot of celebrities in my time and posing for a picture with them is not high on my fun list. Besides, there were thousands of people gathered around in the lobby so I wasn't figuring on any photo ops with the fellas, anyway.
But for some reason, there was this whole group of people standing to Penn's left and no one to his right. I went toward his right to gawk because he let his hair down. Literally. His hair was out of the ponytail.
One of the security guys motioned me to come take a photo. Penn said "Come on, boss.'' The last celebrity to call me "boss'' was Todd Hundley when he was with the Cubs and we know that didn't turn out so hot for him.
So my son snapped the photo and I thanked Penn and Penn said "Thanks boss" to me and we went on our way.
Then I saw the photo.
"Boss" was big. Penn looked skinny.
Maybe Penn lost weight. Maybe during the show, all of the props and stuff he needed under his jacket made him bigger than he really is.
Or maybe through the magic of the great Vorva-dini, I can make pounds disappear just by posing with me.
If that's the case, it was the best trick of the night.
Speaking of larger than life…
I saw a young girl barf on the side of the MGM Grand hotel and then walk away like it was no big deal.
That was the second grossest thing I had seen during the trip.
The first was in a swimming pool.
Three plus-, plus-, plus-sized women got on the shoulders of three other big gals. One sang loudly "Giddyup horsey," which nearly made me barf in the pool. So these six bigs had a race.
There is no truth to the rumor that first prize for the winning jockey and horsey was to get their picture taken with me.
Feeling hot, hot, hot
The temperature, according to my rent-a-car thermometer, was up to 118 degrees on the day that you folks enjoyed a 70-degree day.
And no, it wasn't a dry heat. There were traces of humidity enough to keep us sweating for most of the trip.
And anyone who says there is not much difference once the temperature reaches 100, I can assure you that you can feel a difference between 118 and 100.
And a bigger difference once you get home and it is 70.
Sign of the (ouch) times
There were plenty of bums and panhandlers with signs begging for money. But on the Strip, my son found a guy with a sign that said "For $20, you can kick me in the [privates].''
He must have once been a newspaper editor.

As I said in the last post, Lennox has been singing a lot lately. I usually know or have sang some of the songs she sings but we haven't really worked on ABCs at all. Well, apparently she has been at school! This weekend she kept singing them over and over. Sometimes she would get almost all the letters in there, but a lot of times she would skip over some — it was pretty darn cute. I caught one of her renditions yesterday on the way to Mother's Day lunch.
