Family ripped apart
PATEENA Peanna is still searching for the truth as to why she was taken from her birth family more than 40 years ago.
Born in Balmain in November 1966 and named Pateena Cherie Rosevear, she was taken from her parents at about six months of age because the authorities were concerned about her mother's mental health.
Ms Peanna's natural parents soon separated but because she was born out of wedlock, father Ivan Rosevear could not apply for custody.
"In those days there was no way for a man to be a single parent," Ms Peanna said.
Despite her father refusing to sign adoption papers, Ms Peanna was placed into foster care and later adopted by a family in Kyogle.
At the age of 21, Ms Peanna's 'parents' revealed the truth about the adoption.
Her boyfriend at the time searched the phonebook for Rosevear, dialled a Sydney number and asked the man who answered if he had a long-lost daughter.
When he said 'yes', the boyfriend asked how he would recognise his daughter.
"He said she has two distinct birthmarks in the middle of her neck and a freckle in her eye," Ms Peanna recalled.
Her boyfriend then handed the phone to Ms Peanna.
"I said, are you sure I'm yours?"
What was said next left her shell-shocked.
"He said to me 'I've been looking for you ever since they took you. I never stopped searching and I never ever surrendered you. All I wanted was for you to be with me'," Ms Peanna said.
According to Ms Peanna her parents had been denied access to photos, school reports and news about their daughter's fate and sadly her mother had lost her desire to live once her baby was taken from her.
"All she wanted was her baby back. She cried for me for years, it got the better of her and she suicided," Ms Peanna said.
A landmark inquiry into forced adoption tabled in Federal Parliament last week found thousands of children have been affected by the practice.
Ms Peanna was reunited with her father in 1989 and they were "close friends" until his death eight years ago but said her life was still full of unanswered questions
"It haunts you. Why was I taken away? How did they adopt me without consent?" Ms Peanna asked.
"It makes you feel different because you look around the street and think, is that my relative?
"I'm always looking for family members and it's not knowing that's the killer.
"Who am I?"

ASG and US Department of Labor Wage/Hour Division sign MOU
It's official, the United States Department of Labor's Wage/Hour Division (WHD) and the American Samoa Government have signed a memorandum of understanding, with the specific and mutual goals of providing clear, accurate, and easy-to-access outreach to private sector employers and their employees, ASG Departments and their employees, and other stakeholders, and of sharing resources and information consistent with applicable law.
The MOU was signed by Governor Lolo Matalasi Moliga and USDOL Honolulu, District Director Terrence Trotter who's based in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
The USDOL will be opening an office at the Pago Plaza where they will begin to do outreach for the private sector and part of this MOU is to have ASG and USDOL work together, with the goal to extend the protection of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to all the workers in the territory.
The governor's legal counsel Steven Watson stated USDOL has jurisdiction over businesses who do over $500,000 annually in the United States and its territories.
Trotter noted USDOL is looking forward to working with businesses and ASG to strengthen its partnership through enforcing the FLSA. He further stated that once ASG establishes a Department of Labor, USDOL will be assisting them to enforce labor laws. "We cannot cover employers who make under $500,000 because there is no labor law that may apply in that area."
Governor Lolo stated he's looking forward to this relationship growing, and it's a good start for those working in the territory knowing this will provide a better chance of protecting their employment rights.
According to the MOU, both parties recognize the value of establishing a collaborative relationship to promote compliance with laws of common concern in American Samoa. Forming this partnership will enable more effective and efficient communication and cooperation on areas of common interest, to share training materials, to provide employers and employees with compliance assistance information, and to directly educate ASG on application of federal laws to its employees.
Also to assist, upon request, in the development of an American Samoa Department of Labor whose purpose would be to establish and enforce a minimum wage, overtime premium, child labor employment standard and record keeping requirements among other baseline labor provisions for its non-governmental workforce.
WHD is responsible for administering and enforcing a wide range of labor laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, worker protections provided in several temporary visa programs, and the prevailing wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts and the Service Contract Act.
Nothing in this agreement limits the WHD's enforcement of these and other statutes, while ASG is responsible for administering and enforcing locally entitled wages, overtime premiums and record keeping requirements for its government-wide workforce as well as adhering to federally applicable labor standards.
The MOU further states ASG and WHD may conduct joint investigations periodically in American Samoa, if opportunity provides and coordinate their respective enforcement activities, assist each other with enforcement and make referrals of potential violations of each other's statutes.
According to the MOU this agreement does not authorize the expenditure or reimbursement of any funds and nothing in this agreement obligates the parties to expend appropriations or enter into any contract or other obligation.
"The parties do not imply an endorsement or promotion by either party of the policies, programs, or services of the other." Also this MOU is not intended to diminish or otherwise affect the authority of either agency to implement its respective statutory functions."
"Nothing in this agreement will be interpreted as limiting, superseding, or otherwise affecting the parties' normal operations."
The MOU notes "the agreement will be executed in full compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974, and any other applicable federal and American Samoa laws." However the information is not for public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
This agreement will expire three years from the effective date and it may be cancelled by either party by giving thirty (30) days advance written notice prior to the date of cancellation.

Dr. Barrett conducts research in soil geomorphology, soil-plant relationships, and environmental geography. Much of her past research relates to ecosystem degradation linked to nineteenth century logging practices in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. She has focused on soil development rates and processes in acid, sandy parent materials in the upper Great Lakes region. One recent project was an investigation of soil development on a series of strand plain beach ridges in northern Michigan. Currently, she is exploring the use of a field-portable spectrophotometer to measure soil color, which can be used to characterize soil development northern Michigan soils. She has also recently begun a multiyear project to study the rates and processes in which soil organic carbon accumulates in the B horizons of sandy soils in the Great Lakes area. Other on-going research projects use data from the Government Land Office surveys of the nineteenth century to study forest-site relationships as they were around the time of European settlement, in both northern Michigan and in the Black Swamp region of northwestern Ohio.

Kayle 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.
I'm testing out a Kayle with more AP and more magic resist. Suggestions would be appreciated. The current build is getting better but still needs work.
Summoner Skills:
I take heal and clarity because I play with a friend over the phone, but most of the time you will only use clarity, and your other spell is up to you...
How to play:
Wait until you have 1065 before you go back, so you can get Wriggle's right away. This will help greatly with your money and health as cleaning through a wave of minions with your E is quick and can heal you substantially. Harass with Q against squishy characters but otherwise save your mana, as it will be rather low before lvl 8-10. Max out your Q and your E as fast as possible. I usually get one level in W at lvl 7 for a speed boost but its not necessary. Once you have wriggles you can get buffs so do so, especially the blue buff. In large battles hang back and activate your E and attack from range. As with most Kayle builds, when engaging hit your Q first and then E and focus on that target for increased damage. It's important to note that E really is your bread and butter due to the AP so keep it up whenever you are engaging. Late game you will have a lot more AP so you can focus on your heal if it's needed. Lately I've been using Void Staff, but Phantom Dancer is also a good alternative as your final item.

Value Quality Features
There is a tiny internal pot to adjust the 'boost' function up to 10db which is good for dialing in the sound you want for lead tones.
Overall I like the sound and feel of this pedal over the Boss DS-1 because it seems more natural and smooth sounding. Give is a shot, you'll like it. (Posted on 7/10/2012)

Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
I strive for two things in design: simplicity and clarity. Great design is born of those things.

Stroll waterfront promenades at sunset, explore 16th century forts and visit entrancing marketplaces bursting with Arabian history. Oman's capital Muscat is a city of incredible beauty, an oasis of history and culture surrounded by the vast desert. Thinking about what to do in Muscat as a treat for the senses? Then check out our list below of the most beautiful places to visit.
1) The Old Quarter
Discover ancient Arabian charm in the city's oldest neighbourhood. Located at its eastern end, the Old Quarter is home to not one, but two, 16th century forts – Al Mirani and Al Jilali. From their towering position on the cliff tops over the Old Quarter, they have looked out over the Gulf of Oman for centuries, protecting the city. Stroll the 500-year-old city walls and visit the fascinating Bait Al Zubair Museum to learn more about local history and culture.
2) The Mangrove Lagoon
Looking to discover Muscat's natural side? Then you'll find it at the Mangrove Lagoon. One of the most beautiful spots on the coastline, this evergreen oasis is buzzing with bird and marine life. Spot birds in the canopy, crabs and fish sheltering in the salty waters. Now a dedicated nature reserve, it's a breeding ground for fish species including mullet, sea bream and snappers.
3) Mutrah Corniche
Stretching for 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) along the waterfront of Muscat's fishing port, this elegant promenade is a great place for a stroll. Pass the fountains and pristine gardens along the way, sample local delicacies and international cuisine in the restaurants, and pick up some fresh fruit in the market at the northern end. The Corniche is all overlooked by the magnificent 16th century fort that seems to grow from the rocky cliffs above.
4) Al Shatti
Need to cool off from the Arabian sun? Head straight to Al Shatti beach. A long stretch of golden sand lies next to the refreshing waters of the Gulf. Lounge under the shade of a palm tree, hang out with Muscat's hippest residents, or sit in the café and enjoy a relaxing drink. The city's most popular and lively beach, this beautiful spot is on any list of things to do in Muscat.
5) Mutrah Suq
Discover another kind of beauty in the Mutrah Suq – one of the oldest markets in the Arabian world. Get lost in the labyrinth of alleys and passageways and imagine how trade has happened in this market for generations – virtually unchanged. Stumble across ancient treasures, breathe in the aroma of exotic spices and examine precious gems. If you're in the mood to buy, be prepared to haggle. It's all part of the fun.
6) Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
Perhaps Muscat's most magnificent building, this is the only mosque in the city that's open to tourists. Despite its ancient style and design, it was only completed in 2001, but is the largest in the Gulf. Up to 20,000 worshippers at once can fit inside its 40,000 square metre (9.8 acre) grounds. Wander the walled compound and marvel at the five minarets that tower above you. Whoever said it had to be old to be beautiful?
7) Qurum Beach and Natural Park
Popular with walkers, joggers and folks just looking to relax, this long stretch of sand is lined with cafes and flat pathways. Dine in restaurants facing the water or explore more of the nature reserve that's right next to the beach. You can also enjoy water sports like kite surfing, as well as beach games like volleyball, all surrounded by natural beauty.
8) Royal Opera House
Another of Muscat's newer structures, this world-class opera house has been graced by some of the world's finest musicians. With dramatic colonnades, gold and marble interiors, and hand-carved ornaments, this is without doubt one of the city's most beautiful buildings.

DOHA, Qatar — While the U.S. reels under the weight of its financial crisis, the sparsely populated sheikdoms of the oil-rich Arabian peninsula are wallowing in more money than they know what to do with.
These desert nations, most of them tiny and long obscure to most Americans, are being transformed. They used to be sleepy backwaters of Bedouins and struggling fishermen. The emirate of Qatar, for example, was once known mostly for its pearl divers.

Lisa Hackwith and models
Lisa Hackwith (third from left) with models at her recent fashion show at Aria. And at work, below, in her south Minneapolis home studio.
When models hit the runway at Aria in the boxy tops and breezy, bleach-dyed maxi dresses of Hackwith Design House, a row of spectators raised their iPhones high. Those fans—boutique owners, photographers, fashion bloggers—immediately started blasting images to their substantial social networks, where they collected dozens of "likes" before it was even time for designer Lisa Hackwith to take her bow.
The 27-year-old self-taught designer was the oddball at The Shows, the premiere event of Minneapolis-St. Paul Fashion Week. Unlike the majority of featured designers that have a local following and a desire to grow, Hackwith is scaling back. She wasn't looking for orders from boutiques.
Hackwith's done with that—for now. She started on Etsy just three years ago and got picked up by boutiques around the world, but she couldn't keep up with orders. An enviable problem, most fledgling designers would say. It's also the make-or-break point for many fashion careers. The ceiling for growth is low when you're independent and hand-sewing everything yourself. But getting bigger is expensive, and making the leap to a manufacturer can be risky.
On the advice of several local product- development veterans, Hackwith did the unthinkable and paused just as her star was beginning to rise. She pulled out of the boutiques that were selling her apparel. She spent two months re-branding, designing, and developing a new website, hackwithdesignhouse.com. She joined Instagram and started posting carefully art-directed pictures of her "process"—everything from an uncoiled tape measure on fabric to a dramatically shaded stack of shirts.
Her new business model is one that couldn't have existed just a few years ago: release one limited-edition item of clothing online every week. It means smaller quantity but bigger profit margin, since she's selling directly. Each piece in the batch is marked with a number, creating the intimacy consumers seem willing to pay extra for today. Hackwith always keeps No. 1. She gives No. 2 to a fashion blogger thoughtfully selected based on style and audience. In exchange, the blogger posts pictures of herself in her new Hackwith piece along with an article that goes live the day the new item launches. Basically, enthusiastic fashion fans are doing most of the marketing for Hackwith Design House—for just the price of a shirt.
Hackwith is also collaborating with a few boutiques on limited-edition capsule collections. The first was Parc Boutique in Northeast Minneapolis, where owner Thao Bui Nguyen consulted on designs and picked the fabric with her clients in mind. "Customers love saying they're wearing a limited-edition Parc piece, and I have to admit, I love that too!" Nguyen was one of those photo-snapping fans at that recent fashion show, which was Hackwith's first.
Hackwith received three orders from Minnesota shoppers the day after The Shows. In comparison, her website got 6,000 views the first day it went live—thanks entirely to online buzz and referrals from her first blog partner, Minneapolis resident Kate Arends of Wit & Delight, who has a massive online following, with 2.6 million Pinterest followers and 15,000 fans on Instagram.
The piece Hackwith released the week I was writing this column sold out in a day.
It's enough to make producing a fashion show seem entirely superfluous.

IP Addresses in this range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

(Meredith) – Move over, Pumbaa. There's a new "Mr. (or Mrs.) Pig" in town.
Dubbed "Pigzilla," this massive boar was seen outside an elementary school in Hong Kong munching on some leftovers it found inside a dumpster, the Mirror reported.
Wild boars, armed with razor-sharp teeth and powerful front legs, can be extremely dangerous.
In the video, 'Pigzilla' looks enormous compared to the three other boars around it, which many people are assuming are Pigzilla's offspring.
The gender of the boar is up for debate. Some are saying it's a male due to its huge size, while others are claiming it is a female since males typically leave their herd at a young age.
Wild boars are common in the Hong Kong hills, CBS News reported. The beasts can weight nearly 450 pounds and are often seen in the city looking for food.

South Carolina senior housing property acquired
An affiliate of The Wardman Group has bought Summers Landing Polo Road, a 92-unit senior housing property in Columbia, SC.
Wardman, based in Washington, D.C., has hired Integral Senior Living to manage the property, which is now called Amara Place at Columbia.
Wardman is starting a $1.4 million renovation of the facility, including interior renovations such as carpeting and new furniture, exterior upgrades, expansion of the dining area and increasing the memory care wing from 14 to 22 units.
"As The Wardman Group's first investment, this acquisition fits our core competencies given its attractive location in the Southeastern United States, the positive supply and demand fundamentals of Columbia's senior housing market, and the opportunity to add value in the near term by improving the property," said Wardman CEO Thad Paul.
Amara Place is ISL's first senior living community in South Carolina and the company's 59th location overall. After the renovation, it will have 22 memory care apartments, along with 38 independent living and 32 assisted living apartments.

Mergers and Acquisitions | Industrial Furnaces | Deltat T | Titan Industrial Heating Systems
In July of 2011 Titan Industrial Heating Systems joined with Keith Company in Pico Rivera, CA. They have designed and built custom industrial heating systems for over 30 years. Their specialties include gas burners, tank heaters, hot oil tanks, control panels and complete ovens that reach heating temperatures of 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius). In addition to their impressive manufacturing, the Titan Industrial Heating staff also repairs wire wound heating elements for Proheco and Proheatco branded products and has allowed Keith to expand their servicing aspect of their business.
In 2002 Keith Company acquired Recco Furnaces, a 40- year old designer and builder of standard and custom industrial furnaces, foundry products, alloy fabrications, and integrated material handling systems for the metals heat treating, foundry, forging and specialty metals processing industries worldwide. In our database, we have all Recco furnace serial numbers stored which allows us to quickly determine the original heating element configuration.
In the same year Keith Company acquired KMI Refractories. Like CFF, KMI Refractories was a thirty-year-old company at the time of acquisition and was a full-service stocking distributor of refractory products, a refractory contractor for tear-out and installation of refractory materials, and a fabricator of custom fiber modules and insulating panels. So today, Keith Company is also a major stocking distributor for Thermal Ceramics, one of the world's leading manufacturers of refractory materials.
In 1997 Keith Company acquired CFF Kilns & Furnaces. At the time CFF was a thirty-year-old company that constructed kilns, lehrs and ovens for the traditional ceramics and decorating metals processing industries. Today, hundreds of CFF kilns are used daily by companies across the country.

Notice of preliminary results of antidumping administrative review.
In response to a timely request from the petitioner,[1] on January 31, 2001, the Department of Commerce published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from Chile with respect to Nature's Farm Products (Chile) S.A., Ravine Foods Inc., and Compania Envasadora del Atlantico covering the period December 1, 1999, through November 30, 2000.
We preliminarily determine that sales have been made below normal value. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

The Applicable Statute
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), are references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the U.S. Department of Commerce's (the Department's) regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2000).
On October 22, 1998, the Department published in the Federal Register the final affirmative antidumping duty determination of sales at less than fair value (LTFV) on certain preserved mushrooms from Chile (see Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, 63 FR 56613, (LTFV Final Determination)). We published an antidumping duty order on December 2, 1998 (see Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, 63 FR 66529).
On January 31, 2001, the Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from Chile with respect to Nature's Farm Products (Chile) S.A. (NFC), Ravine Foods Inc (Ravine), and Compania Envasadora del Atlantico (CEA) (see Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 66 FR 8378). On February 8, 2001, the Department issued the antidumping questionnaire to: NFC via its U.S. parent, Nature Farm Products, Inc. (NFP/USA); Ravine, a Canadian company; and CEA, a Colombian company.
NFP/USA advised the Department on February 13, 2001, that NFC did not export or sell the subject merchandise to the United States, nor did NFP/USA import or sell the subject merchandise to the United States. However, NFP/USA advised the Department to send a copy of the questionnaire directly to NFC (see Memorandum to the File dated February 13, 2001, which summarizes information received from NFP/USA), which the Department had already sent on February 12, 2001. We did not receive a response from NFC, nor did we receive a response from Ravine.
We received a questionnaire response from CEA in April 2001. We issued supplemental questionnaires in May and August 2001. CEA responded to these questionnaires in June, July, August and September 2001. On October 4, 2001, CEA's counsel confirmed in a telephone conversation that the entry of the subject merchandise reported in CEA's questionnaire response had already been liquidated by the Customs Service (see Memorandum to the File from Sophie Castro dated October 9, 2001).
In November 2001, we requested information concerning CEA's reported sale transaction from NFC, NFP/USA, and CEA's customer, Horley Trading Co., Ltd. (Horley). We received responses from NFP/USA and Horley; we did not receive a response from NFC.
On July 19, 2001, due to the reasons set forth in the Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review: Certain Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, 66 FR 37640 (July 19, 2001), we extended the due date for the preliminary results to November 15, 2001, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. On November 19, 2001, we again extended the due date of the preliminary results to December 31, 2001, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act (see Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Administrative Review: Certain Preserved Mushrooms from Chile, 66 FR 57937 (November 19, 2001)).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are certain preserved mushrooms, whether imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. The preserved mushrooms covered under this order are the species Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. "Preserved mushrooms" refer to mushrooms that have been prepared or preserved by cleaning, blanching, and sometimes slicing or cutting. These mushrooms are then packed and heated in containers including but not limited to cans or glass jars in a suitable liquid medium, Start Printed Page 563including but not limited to water, brine, butter or butter sauce. Preserved mushrooms may be imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. Included within the scope of this order are "brined" mushrooms, which are presalted and packed in a heavy salt solution to provisionally preserve them for further processing.
Excluded from the scope of this order are the following: (1) All other species of mushroom, including straw mushrooms; (2) all fresh and chilled mushrooms, including "refrigerated" or "quick blanched mushrooms"; (3) dried mushrooms; (4) frozen mushrooms; and (5) "marinated," "acidified" or "pickled" mushrooms, which are prepared or preserved by means of vinegar or acetic acid, but may contain oil or other additives.
The merchandise subject to this order is currently classifiable under subheadings 2003.10.0027, 2003.10.0031, 2003.10.0037, 2003.10.0043, 2003.10.0047, 2003.10.0053, and 0711.90.4000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUs subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.
Determination of Exporter/Respondent
According to the information developed in this review, CEA purchased provisionally preserved (i.e., brined) mushrooms in bulk containers from NFC. CEA reported that it subsequently retorted and repacked the subject merchandise into commercial-size cans and sold and shipped them to its U.S. customer, Horley. These cans were packed with the Nature's Farm brand on the label and the statement "Distributed by Nature's Farm Products, Inc." on the label. CEA reported its sale to Horley for purposes of this review and stated that, to the best of its knowledge, NFC did not have knowledge that the merchandise was destined for the United States at the time of NFC's sale to CEA.
We have determined, based on our analysis of the information provided by CEA, NFP/USA, and Horley, that the first party with knowledge of destination was NFC and therefore the relevant transaction in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act is NFC's sale to CEA for exportation to the United States. Although CEA claims that it is the first party in the chain of distribution who had knowledge that the ultimate destination of the sale was the United States, our determination that NFC is the exporter who had knowledge of destination is based on evidence that NFC was affiliated with NFP/USA, that NFP/USA and Horley are affiliated, and that NFP/USA and Horley were engaged in sales negotiations with CEA immediately prior to or at the same time as their affiliate NFC sold subject merchandise to CEA.
Horley and NFP/USA
Horley and NFP/USA both claim to be unaffiliated with each other. They claim that Horley merely has a licensing, rental, and commission agreement with NFP/USA, which enables Horley to use the NFP/USA brand on canned mushroom labels, and that NFP/USA's senior staff members are employed with Horley only in the role of "technical consultants."
Among the specific "persons" considered in reaching an affiliated decision are officers and directors of organizations, employer and employee, and "any person who controls any other person or such persons." See section 771(33) of the Act. Moreover, "a person shall be considered to control another person if the person is legally or operationally in a position to exercise restraint or direction over the other person."
The Statement of Administrative Action, H. Doc. No. 103-316, Vol. 1 (1994) (SAA) at 838 states that "[t]he traditional focus on control through stock ownership fails to address adequately modern business arrangements, which often find one firm operationally in a position to exercise restraint or direction over another even in the absence of an equity relationship. A company may be in a position to exercise restraint or direction, for example, through corporate or family groupings, franchises, or joint venture agreements, debt financing, or close supplier relationships in which the supplier or buyer becomes reliant upon the other."
There are several factors on the record which lead us to believe that NFP/USA and its officers exercise control over Horley legally or operationally. NFP/USA claims that it ceased import operations immediately prior to Horley's commencement of business operations. Horley established an office at NFP/USA's facility, and the two entities continue to share the facility to this day. Furthermore, Horley commenced negotiations on the import of the subject merchandise from CEA even before it was legally incorporated, but only after NFP/USA, who was initially contacted by CEA, referred the business to Horley. In fact, NFP/USA's president is the only person on the record identified as negotiating the sale with CEA on Horley's behalf. Furthermore, NFP/USA's president is also the only person who has provided factual information on Horley's behalf in response to our questionnaires, although NFP/USA's vice president certified Horley's December 3, 2001, factual submission under 19 CFR 351.303(g)(1). In addition, Horley's accountant also has been employed as NFP/USA's accounting manager. Besides shared managers and shared facilities, Horley also shares something much more obvious with NFP/USA—NFP/USA's name. Horley has the rights to all of NFP/USA's brand names, according to the licensing agreement submitted to the Department. Therefore, although Horley does not market itself as NFP/USA, it markets its products as NFP/USA goods. Thus, for all intents and purposes, taken as a whole, we believe that the record demonstrates that NFP/USA and its officers have shepherded and significantly controlled Horley's transactions with CEA.
In Ta Chen Stainless Steel Pipe, 1999 Ct. Intl. Trade LEXIS 110 (October 28, 1999) (Ta Chen), the Department found two companies, Ta Chen and Sun, to be affiliated. In making this determination, the Department cited a number of factors, including (a) historical ties between the companies, (b) former Ta Chen employees working for Sun; and (c) Sun's distribution solely of Ta Chen products. See id. at 115-117. The Court of International Trade (CIT) affirmed the Department's affiliation determination, stating, "[e]ven if each of the individual connections between Ta Chen and Sun, standing alone, may not be sufficient to establish control, Commerce's conclusion that the numerous connections between Ta Chen and Sun were indicative of control was reasonable. Commerce did not rely on any one factor in concluding that Ta Chen and Sun were affiliated parties, rather, it determined that the combination of factors was sufficient proof of affiliation." See id.
We find that the circumstances in this case are comparable to those contemplated in the SAA and similar to those in Ta Chen. The totality of factors demonstrate that NFP/USA and Horley are affiliated companies. The two companies share officers, business opportunities, office space, and product brand names. Such a relationship between these two companies indicates that NFP/USA controls Horley for purposes of this review, within the meaning of section 771(33)(G) of the Act. Start Printed Page 564
NFP/USA and NFC
As discussed in both the Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Preserved Mushrooms From Chile, 63 FR 41786 (August 5, 1998), and the LTFV Final Determination, NFP/USA and NFC are closely affiliated companies. For example, all of NFC's sales in the LTFV investigation were made through NFP/USA as constructed export price transactions. NFP/USA incurred the expense for certain NFC production activities (see LTFV Final Determination, 63 FR at 56614). Further, NFP/USA acknowledged that "NFP/USA is the primary funding source of NFP's operations" (id., 63 FR at 56623). The record of this review shows no change in this status until February 2000. Accordingly, NFP/USA was clearly affiliated with NFC when NFC sold its brined mushrooms to CEA in January 2000. Furthermore, CEA indicated in its questionnaire responses that it only pursued business with NFC after it was confident that Horley would purchase canned mushrooms from CEA (see CEA's December 7, 2001, submission at page 3). Thus, Horley was in sales negotiations with CEA at the same time NFP/USA's affiliate NFC was negotiating to sell the subject merchandise to CEA. As discussed above, Horley and NFP/USA are affiliated companies. Accordingly, we believe that the weight of the evidence supports our finding that NFC had knowledge at the time of its sale to CEA, through its affiliation with NFP/USA, that the ultimate destination of its sale of brined mushrooms to CEA was the United States.
NFP/USA claims that it agreed to sever its affiliation with NFC in November 1999 (see NFP/USA's December 3, 2001, submission at page 5). However, NFP/USA provided no evidence on the record of such an agreement. Moreover, NFP/USA acknowledges that NFC and NFP/USA remained legally affiliated until the formal transfer of NFP/USA's stock in February 2000.
NFP/USA and NFC were legally affiliated at the time of NFC's sale of brined mushrooms to CEA through NFP/USA's equity in NFC, as well as through their strong historical ties. Given that the subject merchandise was produced by NFC, and that it ultimately arrived in the United States in Horley's, and thereby NFP/USA's, control under the Nature's Farm brand name, the record evidence leads us also to conclude that NFC had knowledge of the ultimate destination of the product when it was sold to CEA.
Use of Facts Otherwise Available
As stated above under "Case History," the Department initiated an administrative review of three companies: Ravine, NFC, and CEA.
Section 776(a)(2) of the Act provides that "if an interested party or any other person (A) withholds information that has been requested by the administering authority; (B) fails to provide such information by the deadlines for the submission of the information or in the form and manner requested, subject to subsections (c)(1) and (e) of section 782; (C) significantly impedes a proceeding under this title; or (D) provides such information but the information cannot be verified as provided in section 782(i), the administering authority shall, subject to section 782(d), use the facts otherwise available in reaching the applicable determination under this title." Because Ravine and NFC have provided no information, we are assigning Ravine and NFC margins on the basis of the facts available, in accordance with section 776(a) of the Act. As we have determined that CEA's sale should be considered a sale by NFC, we have included this transaction in the rate assigned to NFC.
As noted above, Ravine did not respond to the Department's questionnaire. Therefore, the Department was unable to issue further questionnaires and review Ravine's information pursuant to sections 782(d) and 782(e) of the Act. Because of its refusal to cooperate in this review, we determine that the application of a rate based on facts available is appropriate pursuant to section 776(a)(2) of the Act.
As discussed above, NFC did not respond either to the Department's questionnaire, nor to the Department's November 2001 request for information. Thus we determine that the application of facts available is appropriate in the case of NFC.
Application of Adverse Facts Available
Because Ravine and NFC have refused to participate in this administrative review, we preliminarily determine that an adverse inference is warranted in selecting facts otherwise available, in accordance with section 776(b) of the Act (see, e.g., Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Persulfates from The People's Republic of China, 62 FR 27222, 27224 (May 19, 1997); and Certain Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel From Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 62 FR 2655 (January 17, 1997) (applying an adverse inference, as explained in detailed in Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel From Italy, 61 FR 36551, 36552, (July 11, 1996))).
Section 776(b) of the Act provides that, if the Department finds that an interested party "has failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with a request for information," the Department may use information that is adverse to the interests of the party as facts otherwise available. Adverse inferences are appropriate "to ensure that the party does not obtain a more favorable result by failing to cooperate than if it had cooperated fully." See SAA at 870. Furthermore, "an affirmative finding of bad faith on the part of the respondent is not required before the Department may make an adverse inference." See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties: Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27340 (May 19, 1997).
Section 776(b) of the Act authorizes the Department to use as adverse facts available information derived from the petition, the final determination from the LTFV investigation, a previous administrative review, or any other information placed on the record. Under section 782(c) of the Act, a respondent has a responsibility not only to notify the Department if it is unable to provide requested information, but also to provide a "full explanation and suggested alternative forms."
Ravine and NFC failed to respond to our request for information in any manner, thereby failing to comply with this provision of the statute and making it impossible for the Department to conduct an administrative review of their sales or entries. Therefore, we have determined that Ravine and NFC failed to cooperate to the best of their abilities and we have made an adverse inference in applying the facts available.
In this proceeding, the only rate that has been in effect has been the rate of 148.51% calculated for NFC and All Others in the LTFV Final Determination. Information from prior segments of the proceeding constitutes secondary information and section 776(c) of the Act provides that the Department shall, to the extent practicable, corroborate that secondary information from independent sources reasonably at its disposal. The SAA provides that "corroborate" means that the Department will satisfy itself that the secondary information to be used has probative value (see SAA at 870).
To corroborate secondary information, the Department will, to the extent Start Printed Page 565practicable, examine the reliability and relevance of the information to be used. See Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews and Partial Termination of Administrative Review: Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, from Japan, and Tapered Roller Bearings, Four Inches or Less in Outside Diameter, and Components Thereof from Japan, 61 FR 57392 (November 6, 1996) (TRBs). However, unlike other types of information, such as input costs or selling expenses, there are no independent sources for calculated dumping margins. Thus, in an administrative review, if the Department chooses as adverse facts available a calculated dumping margin from a prior segment of the proceeding, it is not necessary to question the reliability of the margin for that time period. With respect to the relevance aspect of corroboration, however, the Department "will consider information reasonably at its disposal as to whether there are circumstances that would render a margin inappropriate. Where circumstances indicate that the selected margin is not appropriate as adverse facts available, the Department will disregard the margin and determine an appropriate margin" (id.; see also TRBs and Fresh Cut Flowers from Mexico; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 61 FR 6812, 6814 (Feb. 22, 1996) (where the Department disregarded the highest margin as adverse facts available because the margin was based on another company's uncharacteristic business expense resulting in an unusually high margin)).
As noted above, the highest calculated margin (and the only calculated margin) in the history of this proceeding is 148.51 percent. In the instant review, there are no circumstances indicating that this margin is inappropriate as facts available. Moreover, this rate is currently applicable to all subject merchandise. Assigning a lower rate, even if one were available, would effectively reward these companies for their failure to cooperate. Therefore, we find that the 148.51 percent rate is corroborated to the greatest extent practicable in accordance with section 776(c) of the Act.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that the dumping margin for the POR is as follows:
|Margin (percent)
|Nature's Farm Products (Chile) S.A. (including merchandise shipped by the Colombian firm Compañia Envasadora del Atlantico)
|Ravine Foods
If requested, a hearing will be held 44 days after the date of publication of this notice, or the first work day thereafter.
Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs and rebuttal briefs. Case briefs from interested parties and rebuttal briefs, limited to the issues raised in the respective case briefs, may be submitted not later than 30 days and 37 days, respectively, from the date of publication of these preliminary results. See 19 CFR 351.309(c) and (d). Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are requested to submit with each argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument. Parties are also encouraged to provide a summary of the arguments not to exceed five pages and a table of statutes, regulations, and cases cited.
The Department will issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice.
Interested parties who wish to request a hearing or to participate if one is requested, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Room B-099, within 30 days of the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department will issue appropriate appraisement instructions directly to the Customs Service upon completion of this review. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties. We will instruct the Customs Service to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review on an importer-specific basis. We are also instructing Customs to apply a specific rate to all entries manufactured by NFC and sold to CEA.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be that established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 148.51 percent, the "All Others" rate made effective by the LTFV investigation. These requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
This administrative review and notice are published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.Start Signature

Image of the Week #8 – AikBeng Chia
Hey there,
I'm very happy to be featuring AikBeng Chia this week. He's known in the iPhoneography community simply as ABC and has an impressive following. This image, "Mr. Chua", is part of a series of shots where AikBeng meets Mr. Chua, who is a homeless 81-year-old man, on the streets of Singapore. AikBeng finds Mr. Chua again and brings him for a meal when this image was taken. You can see the whole series here on ABC's Flickr stream. I think this is a good representation of AikBeng's style, lots of b & w street photography. You can feel Mr. Chua's difficult life in this portrait.
ABC is a recent member of "The Mobile Photo Group". Established in 2011, The Mobile Photo Group is an international collective of mobile photographers dedicated to promoting their work and presenting mobile photography as an important and evolving form of photography.

Thanks for reading, Patrick

U.S. Custom and Border Protection sent out furlough notices to thousands of employees across the country, angering the heads of the law enforcement agency's union.
CBP said they were forced to send out the furloughs because of governmental budget cuts from sequestration.
A notice sent to all of CBP's 60,000 employees said the furloughs will begin on April 21 and continue through the end of the fiscal year in September – which could mean a 35 percent decline in wages for the rest of the fiscal year. CBP employees will be furloughed for no more than 14 days and part-time workers will have their furloughed time prorated.
"In order to address the more than half a billion in budget cuts imposed by sequestration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection must take significant budget reduction actions," A CBP spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Latino. "CBP will continue to make every effort to minimize the sequester's impact on public safety and national security, but expects that planned furlough of employees, along with reductions to overtime and hiring freeze will increase wait times at ports of entry, including international arrivals at airports, and reduce staffing between land ports of entry."
The move is part of across-the-board budget cuts that came about in the recent sequestration battle that came to a head on March 1, when President Barack Obama and congressional lawmakers failed to come to a deal that would prevent the sequester.
Sequestration is a cover-all term for a series of automatic, across-the-board budget cuts to government agencies, split evenly between defense and discretionary spending. The cuts will total $1.2 trillion over 10 years.
The sequester — which has been coming for more than a year — is an attempt to get a grapple on the U.S. national debt, which has ballooned to more than $16 trillion dollars.
The CBP cuts add to the economic woes of the agencies under the Department of Homeland. The DHS last week announced that it released 2,000 undocumented immigrants because of budget cuts and plans to release about 3,000 more this month.
"We are already seeing huge increases recently in illegal cross-border human and narcotics smuggling, and this is only going to exacerbate the situation," said Gabriel Martinez, the treasurer of National Border Patrol Council Local 2554 in El Centro, California.
Union bosses for the CBP and other government agencies voiced their anger at the furlough notices, calling them a "heavy toll" and claiming they will have "serious effects" on the running of the nation's agencies.
"Just as 'the hot sun' is hardly the biggest risk Border Patrol agents take while performing their duties, the 10 percent pay cut to which the president referred is only a small portion of the economic pain the Department of Homeland Security has in store for them," David Cox Sr., national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a statement. "Border Patrol agents are law enforcement professionals, and this policy will undermine their ability to carry out their mission to guard the border and protect American citizens."
While the unions can't stop the furloughs, they can try to ease the pain for employees by negotiating different times, allowing employees to swap days, or other changes. Unions are also trying to persuade agencies to make other cuts that don't affect worker pay, such as cutting government contracts with private companies.
"In some cases, the agencies can figure out ways to slow down federal contracts instead of taking it out of federal personnel," said Patrick Lester, director of fiscal policy for the Center for Effective Government.
Besides the furloughs, the CBP will cut overtime hours – a move that angered the Border Patrol union where agents rely heavily on overtime pay.
"Overtime work is a necessity for enforcement due to the remote locations of Border Patrol stations (driving times) and the sheer amount of work to be done," Martinez said in an e-mail."Being restricted to an 8-hour shift means they'll barely have time to gather their equipment, drive to their assigned zone, and look around before they have to return to the station."

Celebrity, Filmmaker, Grandmother: Agnes Varda
by Andrea Meyer
Agnes Varda, the filmmaker known as the Grandmother of the French New
Wave, has been making films for more than 40 years. She began as a still
photographer working primarily in the theater, and then — with no film
school education, no production experience, and no particular love of
cinema — she threw herself into making films. She completed her first
feature "La Pointe Courte" in 1954. Alain Resnais edited and Felippe
Noiret starred. Guerilla fashion, nobody got paid, and everyone had a
great time. A new wave of filmmaking was born that would not have a name
for years, and Varda went on to rock the film world with ground-breaking
works like "Cleo from 5 to 7," "Le Bonheur," and "Vagabond."
In 1994, on the occasion of the French "100 Years of Cinema"
festivities, Varda completed a film called "101 Nights," about a
100-year-old man named Mr. Cinema (Michel Piccoli) who does nothing but
sit around with his old movie star friends and gab about movies, until
the day he hires a pretty, young film student (Julie Gayet) to sit
around with him and gab about movies. The kooky comedy features a parade
of celebs from Deneuve to De Niro to Belmondo, as well as Varda's son,
Matthieu Demy, who also plays the lead in another film opening this week
"Jeanne and the Perfect Guy," directed by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques
Martineau, a musical in the tradition of his father, deceased director
Jacques Demy ("The Umbrellas of Cherbourg"). Varda spoke with indieWIRE
when she was in New York promoting her son's film and her own. "101
Nights" and "Jeanne and the Perfect Guy" are currently playing in New
York and open soon in Los Angeles.
indieWIRE: Tell me about "101 Nights" in the context of your other
Agnes Varda: The film is a comedy, which I have not done so far — not
very seriously — but the whole thing was an opportunity to make some
references to films I love and to have visitors, because on a first
level, cinema is about stars. Whatever we love — the auteur theory, the
directors — what people see is faces on the screen. So, I asked a lot
of stars to come, and they came. I could convince Gerard Depardieu. I
gave him his first part when he was seventeen, in a film we never
finished. People said "that guy has no future." I think I convinced De
Niro because of Catherine Deneuve and Deneuve because of De Niro. Both
were excited to work together. He's very charming. He's not like usual
mafia killing type. I convinced the old timers, Gina Lollobrigida and
Jean-Paul Belmondo and Hanna Schygulla, and they all came. And I
convinced Alain Delon. He had said "no" at first, but when he heard that
Belmondo had come and De Niro had come, he said, "Hey, I shouldn't missw
this thing" — and he came with his own helicopter. It was funny.
iW: It seems like the film was really about celebrating the films that
you love.
Varda: Not in a very systematic way. Some critics criticized me, saying
"oh, you forgot this beautiful film or you forgot the Russian cinema or
you forgot this or that." Okay, I forgot, but it's like in an evening;
you speak with people. You don't discuss the whole world. You discuss
what you discuss. Like memory, sometimes you remember stupid things and
forget big things. The memory's capricious. So, it's incomplete, but it
gives certain clues, certain glances to some films we love. We have to
take it like it is — a fantasy. The critics think I'm better with
serious films, like "Vagabond" or "Jacquot de Nantes." People love
"Jacquot," and they love "Vagabond." It's like, because I do those
films, that's what I should do all the time. But I say let me have a
little fun once in awhile.
iW: Do you think it's primarily an entertainment for cinephiles?
Varda: It's about loving movies, but you don't have to love movies. If
Mr. Cinema speaks with a cow, well, he's just speaking with a cow. But
the cow on the bed is something in Buñuel's "L'Age d'Or." If you don't
know that, there is a cow on the bed. You don't have to know that he's
speaking with Buñuel.
iW: Let's talk about your role in the French New Wave.
Varda: I've been called the Grandmother of the New Wave, because my
first feature I made in '54, five years before the New Wave, and I
already had the freedom and the principles that they had. I hadn't met
with the Cahiers du Cinema. I never had any training. I wasn't a
cinebuff like they were. I wasn't a film critic. So, they called me the
Grandmother, because I started it, almost. There was a critic who said I
was the first "son de cloche d'un immense carillon." It's a beautiful
sentence. It's the first bell sound of a huge bell concert. The immense
carillon is the fifty films of the New Wave.
iW: And what do you think has happened to cinema since the New Wave?
Varda: Many waves, more or less interesting, recently including many
women. We have at least 20 women directors having films in the big
theaters, normal distribution. Nobody even says, "well, it's okay. For a
women." That's finished. They never said it for me either, because I was
so strong in my position and dedicated to my work. I would never accept
the slightest something related to being a woman or not. I was a
iW: What about Hollywood?
Varda: I think Hollywood makes good films. I think cinema has to exist
with different kinds of films and there's nothing to discuss with this
kind is good, this kind is not good. We choose where we go. Maybe I
wouldn't be able to do "Titanic," maybe I would. Technically, I would,
but I'm not sure I would do it like this. To start with, I think it's
un-type casting, because DeCaprio looks so elegant, so classy, and the
girl looks so peasant, so popular. She's supposed to be sort of a Vivian
Leigh type, Grace Kelly, and he's supposed to be more ordinary. But here
it's reverse casting. But I like the film, and they act very well. You
know we had DeCaprio visit Mr. Cinema? We filmed him, but I cut it!
iW: What do you think of your filmmaking career overall?
Varda: I've made very few films, if you think about a filmmaker like
Chabrol, who makes one film a year, or Christian Jacques, who made 100
films in his life. But I still have difficulties to find money, and I
don't think I can be inspired that fast. I need to reload my own. . .
not even energy, but sensitivity. And then life. I tried to do something
which was a dream-not dropping one life to have another one, like having
a family. When I met Jacques Demy, we spent time together — we
traveled, we raised the kids, we tried to keep something outside of
movies. Even though we spoke about movies all the time. Spending time at
the ocean was part of life. And now I have three grandchildren, and I
have to give them some time. So, you don't do movies like a machine.
iW: What have you done that you love?
Varda: I've done three or four not too bad. I think "Cleo from 5 to 7"
is okay. I think "Jacquot" is okay and "Vagabond." There's one I love a
lot called "Documenteur," which had a nice title in English, "Emotion
Picture." I like some shorts I've made that no one's seen. And my kids
are okay, my grandchildren. Jacques is gone, which I don't like so much.
iW: Do you consider yourself a star?
Varda: People who have known me don't forget my films, and other people
don't know me at all. I'm not well-known, I'm bizarrely half-known. I'm
more loved than well-known.

It's a full-circle moment for Triangle trio Syrup, a well-textured, guitar-driven rock act from the mid-'90s who haven't played together in 15 years. The reunion wheels started turning late last year during singer and guitarist David Poole's return to another of his older bands, Slurpeeeee! Syrup drummer Robert Shi had stepped in for Slurpeeeee!'s absent drummer, and idle conversation sparked interest in a Syrup return. When they discovered original bassist Tom Mills (who moved to California a few months after their 1994 formation), was back in town, it just made sense.
"Our kids are at an age where we can play again, have fun and pretend we're young," says Poole. "When we were playing before, everything was so serious and had such grave importance. Now it's so different. You get a better perspective on life. There are no pipe dreams here."
Shortly before they called it quits in 1996, they recorded and mixed their second album, First Aid Kit, with producer Tim Harper (Whiskeytown, Mayflies USA). It never came out, but they've already written three new songs and are finally considering a way to put it into the world.
"Robert and I have talked about getting it mastered and maybe releasing it like it is, or with some of the original recordings, re-record others and the new material we've written," he says. "What we'd like to do initially is get our set together, play out some, then figure out what makes sense." With The Bleeding Hearts and Goner. —Chris Parker

As the news of a bomb explosion in the Muzaffarnagar area spreads, two leading news agencies, India 24 & Headlines 24/7, deal with their respective ratings and content to attract more viewers and boost advertising revenue. Purab Shastri is hired by India 24, managed by Vijay H. Malik, while the other agency is run by Amrish Kakkar, Vijay's former subordinate. Purab, an ardent admirer of Vijay, changes his views after the later dramatically exposes Prime Minister Digvijay Hooda's hand behind the explosion, and starts to gather evidence that may end up implicating Vijay and the agency

"Does the term 'apartheid' fit Israel? Of course it does," by Saree Makdisi. Los Angeles Times. May 17, 2014.
Secretary of State John Kerry's warning last month that Israel risks becoming "an apartheid state" in the absence of a peace deal has predictably launched an uproar in the halls of American political power—where an avowed "commitment to Israel" remains more or less a prerequisite to entry. Republicans have called for his resignation. California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer said, "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and any linkage between Israel and apartheid is nonsensical and ridiculous." Inevitably, Kerry was forced to backpedal ("if I could rewind the tape, I would have chosen a different word…") and the "apartheid" label was shunted back to the radical fringe, where it was surely devised by closeted anti-semites to undermine "Israel's brand." In all this noise, it's easy to forget—and I'm thankful to Saree Makdisi for reminding—that "apartheid" is more than a mere insult to be hurled back and forth by political foes. In 1973, the UN General Assembly adopted the "International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid," which explicitly defines the crime and lists those practices falling within its ambit. Makdisi, like many others before, makes a compelling case that Israel's policies toward Palestinians fall within the scope of the UN definition. "The question," he says, "is not whether 'apartheid' applies here. It is why it should cause such an outcry when it is used."
To be entirely fair, however, the United States has never formally endorsed the UN definition. Back in '73, we were among an intrepid group of four members of the UN general assembly who voted to reject the Apartheid Convention. The others opposed were Portugal, the United Kingdom and apartheid South Africa.

The key aim in English at The Hall, is to support boys in developing a love for the English language through creative and innovative approaches to literacy. Above all, English is a matter of self-expression, spoken and written; the development of sound literacy skills is not only paramount to the overall development of each boy but also the key to accessing wider knowledge. Teachers of all subjects across the school are committed to supporting the boys in developing the tools they need to become confident and effective communicators, able to construct and defend an argument whilst fostering an appreciation of the opinions and beliefs of others. At all times boys are encouraged to question so that they may play an active role in their learning, rather than simply absorbing information in a passive manner. It is in English lessons in particular that the core literacy skills are acquired and honed; a variety of teaching methods is used to ensure pupils stay motivated and engaged as they develop their ability to read, write, speak and listen with accuracy and pleasure. Equally, boys learn to express themselves through performance at all stages of their development, to listen and to discuss and to enjoy literature appropriate to their levels of maturity. All boys participate in drama, public speaking and recitation, developing through informal approaches towards formal productions and competitions.
In the Junior School, literacy skills comprising grammar, creative writing, phonics, drama, speaking and listening, reading and comprehension activities, are an important part of every day. Speaking and listening are taught both explicitly and implicitly across the year groups, through a variety of channels such as assemblies, debates and productions. Boys have weekly drama lessons with their class teachers, which not only serve to develop their spoken and aural skills, but simultaneously build upon their self-confidence and ability to work within in a group. 'Show and Tell' sessions support the boys in being able to address an audience while developing good listening skills and showing respect. The boys enjoy and recite poetry and every boy takes part in his year group play at a particular time of the year, as well as regular class assemblies. From the age of 4, the boys begin learning how to read and write and are introduced to a phonetically consistent approach to letter and sound correspondences. They learn how to blend sounds in order to decode words and read texts at appropriate levels of difficulty. The boys are taught how blending and segmenting sounds are reversible processes as they apply the skills of segmenting words into their constituent sounds in order to develop their spelling skills. Children are encouraged to write independently as early as possible.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), children progress from making meaningful marks to emergent writing and by Year 1, the boys are writing for a purpose. By Year 2, all children are able to write independently with a good command of descriptive language while they continue to develop their grammatical skills and understanding. By Year 3, boys are writing a range of persuasive, creative and factual composition including letters, diaries, reviews, newspaper articles, poems, play-scripts, dialogues and stories and are expected to write in a cursive script, earning them their 'pen licence'. When completing a written comprehension activity of a given piece of text, the boys are encouraged to answer in whole sentences using their own words. Increasingly, emphasis is laid on the production of neat, accurate, creative, written work. ICT plays an increasing role, as the boys move through the school.
Every boy in the Junior School has a reading book suitable for his reading ability which he brings home every day. The library is a further great resource and boys visit at least once a week, to select books in line with their specific interests, becoming engaged in texts and beginning to analyse how words are used. As boys mature and progress through the year groups they are supported in becoming aware of the implicit meaning of the texts as well as the explicit, inferring the less obvious answers and reading 'between the lines.'
Throughout the year, the boys' learning experiences in English and literacy are enriched through trips to museums, the theatre or cinema and visits to the school from a variety of professionals are plentiful, including authors, illustrators and actors providing a range of exciting workshops and masterclasses. Across the school boys enjoy poetry days, recitation and poetry writing competitions, book fairs, reading and creative writing competitions. As well as through lessons, proficiency in Drama and public performance is encouraged through Current Affairs Discussion Classes (Years 6-8), Debating Club (Years 6-8), Drama Club (Years 5-8), the school's major drama production (Years 5-8) and the annual Public Speaking Competition (Years 5-8). Class assemblies provide a regular opportunity for public speaking and the Year 4 Variety Show and the Informal Drama Festival for Years 5-8 always provide entertainment. Theatre trips are encouraged for all age groups across the school year.
