The Orations of the Vatican II Missal: Policies for RevisionLauren Pristas
"We learn from Dumas' essay that the policies approved in 1966 were revised during the course of the Consilium's labors."1
The Paul VI Missal has been well studied in itself, but most of the specific decisions that gave the present missal its shape and character have yet to be placed under the scholarly microscope. This is understandable. The sweeping nature of the reforms and the nearly countless particular decisions that make up the whole define a task that is vast almost beyond imagining. Still, it is a lamentable lacuna. More than thirty years after the promulgation of the Paul VI Missal, the scholarly work essential for situating the new rite in relation to the whole of the Western liturgical tradition is only in its infancy.
By specific decisions I refer to the revisers' choice of one prayer over another, of one textual variation over another, and so forth. The very first proper Mass oration of the liturgical year, the collect for the first Sunday of Advent, typifies one common sequence of specific decisions and can serve as an example.2 The revisers chose Gelasianum Vetus 1139, an Advent postcommunion in an eighth-century Mass book to be the collect for the first Sunday of Advent in the new missal.3 Before inclusion, however, the ancient oration was edited so that its meaning was altered.4 Moreover, the decision to adopt a new collect required displacing a collect that had been in unbroken use on the first Sunday of Advent for at least twelve hundred years.5 Otherwise unchanged, the former collect for the first Sunday of Advent is now the collect for Friday of the first week of Advent.

If a Martian were somehow to land in the United States, and the Martian could read English, and the Martian happened to pick up copies of America`s most popular magazines, the Martian could be excused for coming to a quick conclusion:
Americans are crazy.
I`m not talking about the editorial content of the magazines. American magazines, by and large, are pretty good.
But I`ve been going through magazines for the past several weeks, ripping out certain pages. The magazines I have chosen are general interest magazines, news magazines, magazines aimed at men, magazines aimed at women. They have all been very respected magazines, with audiences that are presumed to be educated and intelligent.

National Fellowships for Graduate School
The San Diego State University Office of Academic Scholarships receives annual announcements of the Fulbright, Marshall, Kent, Rotary, and other national fellowship programs. Since each campus is limited in the number of applications it may endorse, students interested in fellowships of this type are encouraged to discuss their applications with designated campus adviser and with members of the university faculty who have themselves held these fellowships. Since test scores from the Graduate Record Examinations General Test are required, students should take this examination well in advance of the deadline date for the submission of applications. The GRE may be scheduled through the Student Testing, Assessment and Research Office.
Graduate Equity Fellowship Program
The Graduate Equity Fellowship program provides support for economically disadvantaged graduate students, especially from groups who are underrepresented within their respective disciplines. Only legal residents of California who can demonstrate significant financial need are eligible. Recipients must be classified or conditionally classified graduate students and must enroll for a minimum of six units of coursework each semester they hold the fellowship. Fellowships range from $500 to $2,000 for an academic year depending on demonstrated need. Students may receive awards for a maximum of two academic years but they must apply each year. Interested students should complete a Graduate Equity Fellowship application available at http://newscenter.sdsu.edu/gra/files/04326-Grad_Equity_Flshp_Application_15-16.pdf and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program
The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program provides financial assistance to graduate students who show promise of becoming strong candidates for California State University instructional faculty positions. The purpose of the program is to increase the pool of individuals with the qualifications, motivation, and skills to teach the diverse student body in the California State University. It is a competitive program directed by the CSU but open to doctoral students across the country. Through the Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program, the CSU offers loans and faculty sponsorship to full-time students pursuing doctoral degrees who are interested in a teaching career at a CSU campus. The program provides loans of up to $10,000 per year up to a total of $30,000 within five years. Loan forgiveness is 20 percent of the loan forgiven for each year of full-time postdoctoral teaching at a CSU campus and faculty sponsorship from a CSU faculty member. The CSU does not guarantee a faculty position to any participant in the Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program. However, it is expected that upon completion of their doctoral studies, participants will be qualified to compete for CSU faculty positions. Applications are available at all CSU campuses; our campus has a Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program coordinator in the Division of Graduate Affairs. You may also obtain an application and information at http://www.calstate.edu/hr/cdip/.
California Pre-Doctoral Program
The California Pre-Doctoral Program is designed to increase the pool of potential faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of California State University (CSU) students who have experienced economic and educational disadvantages. The program places a special emphasis on increasing the number of CSU students who enter doctoral programs at one of the University of California (UC) institutions. Announcements and application forms for the program are circulated each year in early December through the Division of Graduate Affairs. Eligibility is limited to junior, senior, and graduate students who are enrolled in a degree seeking program at any one of the CSU campuses at the time of application. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Application and additional information is available at http://www.calstate.edu/PreDoc/index.shtml

6 Things to Know about Timeshare Purchases
Before you go through with your timeshare purchases, read this first to make sure you have all the facts!
- It's easy to sign a contract, it's hard to get out of one.
Timeshare companies are multi-million dollar enterprises. Their legal teams draft contracts that make it difficult for the average citizen to understand how they can go about getting rid of their timeshare and cancelling their mortgage. In those cases a timeshare attorney or timeshare cancellation service can be the timeshare owners greatest ally in eliminating timeshare purchases.
- A timeshare is NOT an investment – it doesn't appreciate in value.
In the long run a timeshare will end up costing you much more than what you paid for it. You will not generate money from it. It is an illiquid asset that will to lose its value over time.
- Timeshares continue in perpetuity – your children and grandchildren will be obligated to keep paying the maintenance fees.
Many times timeshare contracts are written so that not even death offers a way out of them. Instead the maintenance fees, assessment fees and other liabilities are passed down to children, grandchildren and so on. Many times these family members do not want the responsibility and are faced with ever increasing costs as these properties age and need continual improvements.
- The only value of a timeshare is the time it is used, they have little to no residual resale value.
Timeshares often sell for less than 50 percent of their original purchase price, if they resell at all. A search on Ebay finds hundreds of timeshares listed for sale at $1.
- Selling your timeshare at a loss is typically not tax deductible.
Tax laws generally treat a timeshare as a personal asset, much like your personal automobile. Therefore when you sell the timeshare at a loss, it is not tax deductible.
- Get any promises about the quality of the property, its current value, and its resale and exchange value in writing!
Timeshare companies are notorious for their deceptive sales practices, false promises and inflated numbers. If they are making any sort of promises to you regarding the property, values, resale or exchange get it in writing. Therefore if you have a contract dispute later or decide you want to cancel your timeshare you have a solid standing to work from. Let their lies work to your advantage.
Aconsumercredit™ is an Attorney staffed timeshare cancellation agency dedicated to helping consumers with getting out of timeshares and vacation properties, cancelling your timeshare mortgage, deed cancellations, deceptive sales solicitation practices and other areas of fraud. Contact us at 1-800-587-3948 to see how we can help you cancel your timeshare contract forever.

Dakota Access: Federal judge dissolves temporary restraining ordersRate this title
U.S. District Court Judge Daniel L. Hovland dissolved restraining order against water protectors
"Last Real Indians" reports Federal District Court Judge Daniel L. Hovland dissolved temporary restraining orders (TRO) against Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II, and other water protectors. An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) represented one of the defendants. Dakota Access LLP obtained the TROs on August 15th attempting to suppress pipeline protests. The TROs were granted ex parte immediately by a previous federal judge. Key leaders of pipeline opposition were targeted. In addition to the ACLU, the National Lawyer's Guild offered representation against what it called the unconstitutional TROs. The Guild asserted that the TROs violate the constitutional rights of freedom of speech, assembly, and religion.
Thankfully for the future of civil rights the ACLU and National Lawyer's Guild have helped the water protectors push back the unconstitutional police state North Dakota Governor Jack Darlymple has created for the benefit of Dakota Access LLP. Unfortunately, decisions on how to deal with the nonviolent water protectors is being left to local authorities.
Nonviolence is not a felony
Reportedly North Dakota officials are charging nonviolent water protectors with felonies for nonviolent actions. The TROs are what have been termed a SLAAP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) lawsuit. They are intended to silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense so they abandon their opposition. Lawsuits of this type have been made illegal in many jurisdictions on the ground that they infringe upon the legal right of freedom of speech.
Of course plaintiffs, such as Dakota Access LLP, would never admit this was their intention. Since the politically repressive tactic of TROs was insufficient Dakota Access LLP can now rely upon North Dakota Governor Jack Darlymple's police state to strategically suppress public participation. The tactic of arbitrarily converting criminal charges from misdemeanors to felonies is also a popular form of political repression in the United States. Dakota Access LLP and the North Dakota Government it colludes with will try to jail and burden the water protectors with legal defense fees in the hopes they will abandon their opposition. In light of these developments it may take more than the ACLU and National Lawyers Guild to guarantee the continuity of our civil rights.
Defend the indigenous rights so you will not lose yours later
In a 1953 article in the "Yale Law Journal" federal Indian law expert Felix S. Cohen stated, "Like the miner's canary, the Indian marks the shift from fresh air to poison gas in our political atmosphere; and our treatment of Indians, even more than our treatment of other minorities, reflects the rise and fall in our democratic faith." Cohen's statement is infamous among federal Indian law attorneys and Native American law students.
Today most indigenous legal scholars have moved away from the racist domestic Indian law and policy of the United States, and assert the inherent legal right of self-determination for indigenous peoples under international law. Nonetheless, Cohen's oft-repeated quote of the "miner's canary" is prescient in light of the erosion of our civil rights we daily witness. Such as; Police Brutality, excessive force, police killing minorities, the militarization of the domestic police force, etc. North Dakota's response to the water protectors standing against the Dakota Access pipeline is the worst present day example of political repression in the US. If Cohen was right, then the reason why we see everyone's civil rights being eroded, is because of the failure of non-Indian private citizens to support indigenous peoples rights which is where Cohen argues the erosion of our civil rights begins. The Oceti Sakowin (Sioux Nation) now has global support. Hopefully the support has not come too late to restore our what Cohen termed our "democratic faith."

Canada is officially metric, and children in school learn how to measure and calculate using the metric system. But did you ever work in any construction related job and use metric units? It's all about feet and inches, yards and some other measurements like boardfeet. Most plans, material and "talks" are in imperial units. But not all… Surveyors for example work "mostly" in metric, as their resulting plans are official documents – and officially Canada is metric, right?
If you are planning to build your own home, or to get it built, you will soon realize that you need to cope with this unit chaos. You will have to calculate the size of your windows in inches for your builder, but your window company may ask you for metric measurements. Your architect will tell you the building hight in feet, but your municipality will have maximum hight requirements in meters. Your builder tells you to order "5 yards of concrete", but the concrete supplier tells you prices per cubic meter.
To ease this chaos a little bit, we provide you with a nice little gadget: A website based unit converter. Check it out, it's right here – on the right side of this page.
I tried to find such a converter for WordPress or Joomla – but there was hardly anything available.
If you have your own Joomla or WordPress based website, and want to provide a Unit Converter for your visitors: Feel free to use it. I hope the little tool will soon be available through the official WordPress and Joomla extension directories, but until then you can download it from our website here:
Update Januaray 2010: The unit converter is now also available through the official Joomla and WordPress.org extension directories – just search for "unit converter".

Lucky Vitamin is proud to present another top quality brand of personal care products to our customers: Valentina's Home-Brewed.
Valentina's Home-Brewed offers a unique line of products to bring you the timeless wisdom of herb and plant magic combined with the positive focusing power of ancient ritual, seamlessly adapted to modern life. Many of the herbs and plants used in old cures have been adopted by the pharmaceutical industry and Valentina's Home-Brewed have created products using these special ingredients to enhance the loveliness and youthfulness of skin, hair, and bodies. Valentina's Home-Brewed was born making products at home and, today, the company uses only natural ingredients and you will never find artificial fragrances or colors in any of the products.
Valentina's uses some very costly essential oils and co2 extracts of rare plants and blossoms in scent blends. A number of them are either not yet available from a certified organic supplier, or they are currently so prohibitively expensive that would result in an unreasonable price for products if all ingredients were switched to 100% organic formulas. While many of the ingredients used are in fact certified organic through suppliers' certification, Valentina's facility is not yet certified organic and as a result the company cannot label the products as organic. Valentina's Home-Brewed consciously formulate products with ingredients that are not currently considered high risk for GMO contamination. The company is actively pursuing Non-GMO certification. Lastly, Valentina's Home-Brewed products are not tested on animals.

The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Galadriel Alatariel]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I am still a new player on Sindome MOO as of this writing. However, afriend of mine suggested the game for productivity and an outlet formy imagination. He was correct that I, an avid role-player, wouldprobably like it!Sindome is a role-playing enforced game set in a dystopian cyberpunkworld. The play area, Withmore City, is extremely detailed and sparksthe imagination with no need for pictures. It is also a huge world,from what I have explored so far. The dome, which is a slang wordreferencing the city's shape, is divided into different levels wheredifferent classes of people and powers populate. All player charactersbegin as immigrants to the city but can accomplish almost anythingthey would like to from there. All it requires is trying.Staff is very helpful, in my experience. They are also attentive towhat is happening in the game world. If you interact with a NPC, staffmay animate them and interact in return. This is unique to me andopens up many opportunities. Staff is busy handling things for manyplayers, so it is important to be patient when you need them.I do not have any personal negatives to report about Sindome MOO.However, I went in somewhat knowing what to expect. I would warnpotential players who prefer consensual role-playing games thatSindome is non-consent. Permanent character death can happen, butcloning offers a safety net. Other types of negative things can alsohappen, but that doesn't mean they won't pass or that nothingpositive will happen for you. Also, many characters are notpolitically correct and swearing is commonplace. I do not feel thatSindome is a game for minors.I would like to close by praising Sindome MOO for the effort it hasinvested into accommodating the impaired. The game has tools whichhelp me to more easily play, as an impaired person. This made me feelvery welcome where some MUs can be daunting to play.

The Angel of the North
It is by common consent, a group of uplifting beauty and inspires almost all who see it, whatever their religion or even if they have none at all.
In the North-East England, outside the city of Gateshead, stands a remarkable statue by Anthony Gormley, the 20-meter-high Angel of the North.
The Angel of the North provides us a satisfying metaphor to deal with the greatest difficulty teachers face in terms of motivation.
Some kind of internal drive which pushes someone to do things in order to achieve something.
External factors
Comes from inside an individual
Is concerned with student´s feelings.
Students stay motivated if teacher cares about them.
It is great to build a good teacher-student rapport.
When teacher is caring and helpful, students are much more likely to retain interest.
Self-esteem must be nurtured.
Students need to feel a real sense of achievement.
Teacher must set an appropriate level of challenge for the students.
Teacher should guide students towards success by showing them how to get the things right.
Teachers need to show that they know what they are doing.
Students need to feel that we know about the subject we are teaching.
When students have confidence in the teacher, they are likely to remain engaged.
Teachers do not have enough for the students to do.
Teachers seem not to be quiet sure what to do next.
Nothing motivates like success.
Nothing demotivates like continual failure.
We need to try to match our activities with our student´s learning styles.
We should be interested in things done by the students.
When students have agency, they get to make some decisions and take some responsibility for their learning.

There have been speculations that Samantha dominates Nagarjuna in Raju Gari Gadhi 2. Responding to these, Nag replied in a quite gentle way. "I'm a big fan of Samantha. After watching Ye Maya Chesava, I have called Samantha and appreciated her for her performance."
"Every actor has to dominate in a film and do justice to the role. Only then everyone else feel competitive and work better. I'm glad to hear about Samantha's domination in the film."
Samantha added that she is impressed with the script and it made her choose the role.

HOLMES BEACH -- Replenishing the white sands of Anna Maria Island's beaches looks a lot like a road project with bulldozers, pipes and orange fencing.
And like most road projects, the intermittent inconvenience for long-term improvements affects some businesses more than others.
Alice Sutton of Bamboo Apartments, a beachfront vacation spot, said her rentals are being hit hard.
"Doing this in-season is crippling to our tiny family business," Sutton said. "Our reputation is really important to us and our guests are important to us."
During the day, getting to the water near the Manatee Public Beach parking lot can be a challenge, forcing beachgoers to walk less than a mile north or south to swim when the weather cooperates. At night, flood lights shine and the diesel engines interrupt guests' sleep, Sutton said.
The inconvenience caused one guest to cancel, one guest to leave about a week early and another is debating whether to stay or go, Sutton said. She offered a discount to another guest to stay.
Some elderly guests can't rough it down the beach to reach the water, she said.
In a few days to a week, Sutton's concerns might be gone as the project inches southward.
The $13 million central Anna Maria Island renourishment project and a $3 million project farther south at Coquina Beach are designed to repair erosion from storms. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corp. of Oakbrook, Ill., is completing the projects.
Great Lakes has halted dredging and pumping for now because the seas are too rough, said Sirisha Rayaprolu, spokeswoman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"What they are doing now is working on the beach to level out the berm and material that is placed," she said.
Sand ramps are usually placed over pipes for people to access the beach, Rayaprolu said.
Pipes and equipment are expected to move south between 34th and 39th streets if work begins in the next couple days. After another week, the project will move south near the BeachHouse Restaurant, she said.
The contractor has placed about 220,000 cubic feet of sand on the beach since late December, Rayaprolu said.
The projects are financed by federal, state and county dollars, however, bed taxes charged to visitors pay Manatee County's share.
If Sutton had her way, the renourishment project would have commenced around September when the tourism season is at its lowest, but that's also traditionally peak hurricane and tropical storm season. There's no perfect time for road work, and the same goes for beach work, officials say.
The Army Corps of Engineers and the county tried to avoid turtle-nesting season and schedule work during a "less-peak tourism time," Rayaprolu said. But Tropical Storm Debby did too much damage to wait any longer.
"There was a considerable amount of material lost due to Tropical Storm Debby, and we needed a contractor out there as soon as possible to restore the beach," Rayaprolu said.
Diane and Jim Anderson of Parrish were walking Manatee Beach Wednesday morning with friends, Carol and Jim Bergeron, from Boston. All were bundled up against the wind coming off the Gulf.
"We just arrived from Boston, so this is heaven, OK? This is heaven," Carol Bergeron said, laughing.
Diane Anderson brought the Bergerons to see what they think is one of the nicest beaches in Florida, but realizes the project could be ruining some vacation plans.
"This is going to be killing the snowbirds because this is one of the nicest beaches. Bradenton Beach is nice, but this one is so much nicer," Anderson said.
Carol Bergeron said she is determined to go swimming while on vacation, but will wait for a warmer day -- beach work isn't affecting their plans.
Inside the Anna Maria Island Gift Shop, Judy Servidio has heard concerns from several customers about the work blocking the parking lot, and wondering what's going on at the beach.
"We know it needs to be done, but when is it a good time? They can't do it during the summer because of the turtles and the hurricanes," Servidio said.
She's heard customers complain about paying for beachfront hotel rooms during a replenishment project, but she tries to encourage them to come back.
"When you come back next year, it's going to be beautiful," she said. "Everybody's a little disappointed with it, but it's going to be wonderful and hopefully no storms will happen during the summer that takes it away."
Sutton believes a website similar to what the Florida Department of Transportation does for major projects should be dedicated to this one. When visiting the Manatee Beach Park web page on Manatee County Government and other parts of mymanatee.com, nothing informs visitors the beach is under construction. She wasn't able to get information from the Army Corps of Engineers for an updated timeline and was referred to Charlie Hunsicker, Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources director.
Rayaprolu said the Army Corps of Engineers emails weekly project updates and she can be reached at 904-232-3455 to answer questions. For the local part of the project, which starts at Coquina Beach, residents can call Hunsicker at 941-742-5923.
Beach work doesn't affect other business owners much.
West Coast Surf Shop owner Jim Brady said his shop normally doesn't get busy until February. He can see how the piping could deter folks from going to the beach, but the cool air hasn't helped, either.
"I think the weather's a major factor, but we've been in business since 1964, or 50 years now, and it seems like it's the same as it should be," Brady said.
Across the street at Skinny's Place, business is good, said Mike Ritchie.
"It really doesn't start to get jammed here until mid-February, but people are here for sure," he said.
Sutton would like to be compensated for her losses, but realizes that probably won't happen.
"I don't think anything can be really done other than to watch us suffer," she said.

Niels Vermeersch (aka Niels de Saint Gilliens, Niels van Flandrensis) is the founder and the first head of state of the Grand Duchy of Flandrensis.
Micronational career
As Grand Duke, Niels is the face of Flandrensis and the official representative of a worldwide community. He's the head of the Government and has several constitutional powers like the appointment of Ministers or ambassadors, signing treaties, etc.
Niels is highly involved in the international community of micronations and he's a frequent guest at meetings and international conferences of micronations. In 2009 he was awarded the very first peace award granted by the micronational community. In 2014 the French newspaper "Le Journal du Dimanche" called him the "Woodrow Wilson of micronationalism". Transforming Flandrensis from a temporary hobby into a serious project he has been interviewed and mentioned in several international media (regional and national newspapers, television network channels, radio, books, scientific / cultural magazine, etc.) about Flandrensis or micronationalism in general.
Why the title of Grand Duke?
Niels holds the title of Grand Duke of Flandrensis but he calls himself "the man behind the project Flandrensis" and never uses the title outside Flandrensis. He started with his micronation in 2008 as a temporary hobby during the holidays without any long term intention. He took the medieval ages as a source of inspiration for his micronation and therefore he chose for an Grand Duchy instead of an republic. In real life Niels is not a monarchist, but people know him today as the "Grand Duke".
Personal life
Outside Flandrensis Niels works for a West-Flemish municipality and in his free time he's a huge fan of literature and history. In 2012 he married with the Flandrensian Baroness Delphine de Saint Gilliens and the royal couple are blessed with 2 children. Since 2013 their residence is in the Flandrensian Embassy in the Kingdom of Belgium (Sint-Juliaan, West-Flanders).

It's wonderful to have summer upon us.ReplyDelete
I love your dough bowl - been thinking that I need to find one.
So cute! I love the piggy. I love your soft colors too.ReplyDelete
That table was a great find, very pretty! The flowers in the blue jars are beautiful! Sounds like you have a busy summer planned... enjoy! :) ~RhondaReplyDelete
your flowers look so pretty as do your lemons. I love lemons!ReplyDelete
Great post. Your flowers are gorgeous. That little table is a great find. Love it - also the piggy picture. So cute.ReplyDelete
I love doing little things around the house to mark the seasons, and summer does call for fruit and flowers. Your home is looking lovely.ReplyDelete
Your home looks so lovely during the summer. The corner table is pretty, and I love the blue glass jars. I especially like the table that you have your lemons on. It looks very sturdy. That little piglet painting is darling. What a talented artist. I'd love to see more of her art.ReplyDelete
Yes, Nel's move to Georgia took us all by surprise. But she reassures me that it will only be for a couple of years. You're right, California is different than Georgia, but sometimes a change is just what we need. Enjoy these summer days while they last. :)
Your bottles and jars are cute ♥ReplyDelete

New year, new you?
By Alyssa Horrobin
Hit the gym, get in shape, live healthier…these are commitments people make on the first day of January every year.
According to the Statistic Brain website, weight loss is the number one New Year's resolution people make every year.
Alisa Hopkinson, general manager and personal trainer at GoodLife Fitness Centre For Women, says the best and fastest way to lose weight is actually through lifting heavy weights.
"There's still a misconception that doing long periods of steady-state cardio is how (people) are going to accomplish their weight loss goal but that's simply not the case," said Hopkinson. "Lifting heavy weights is crucial for anyone's goals, especially women."
Hopkinson said many women shy away from heavy lifting because they are afraid it will make them bulk up and create large muscles. In reality, it will trim body fat and tone muscle more accurately than long amounts of cardio.
Windsorite Steve Bisutti, who has been working out since he was 13 years old, thinks the ability to do heavy weight-lifting is in a person's genetics, whether they are male or female.
He began working out because he wanted to be strong like his uncle and kept doing so for years because of the physical benefits for a past railroad job. Now he does it to keep in general good health.
Bisutti said those who are new to working out should start slowly and then switch things up so they do not lose interest or motivation to keep going.
"Start small and then keep going and it might stick with you all your life," said Bisutti. "If something hurts, don't do it."
For some though, it is not about losing weight. For Nakeitha Galati, it is about staying healthy and feeling good.
Galati started working out because of a New Year's resolution to start going to the gym two years ago but what keeps her going is her vision for a long-term goal.
"This is a lifestyle thing for me, not just a New Year's resolution even though it was kinda sparked by that," said Galati. "Eventually over time you will see a nice change in your body, you'll start to feel better. It's good meditation. Overall it's just a good thing."
She said the first day was the hardest and some days it is still really hard to get up and go, but the key is taking baby steps on the journey toward the bigger picture.
As a business manager, Hopkinson does whatever she can to keep the influx of new and returning goal setters coming to the gym. Her passion for people and empowering women to lift challenging weights is her drive behind helping people achieve their goals.
"I am really, really passionate about people who want to lose weight," said Hopkinson. "It's not about the duration of time you're at the gym…I want people coming in and doing the right things."
If you have a fitness-related goal, whether it's a New Year's resolution or not, there are 87 gyms and training centres in Windsor and the surrounding area as well as dozens of phone apps and hundreds of online videos for home workouts.

AXZ Keywords #2 and website update
Episode Preview
Symphogear AXZ Episode 3 -Horoscope of Gears-
Fireworks shoot into the air like a beacon. They rise with the curtain upon the stage.
The silhouette reflected in the eye of the star, drives its feelings toward eternity.
The throbbing heart that signifies love leaves no doubt in the truth of the dream.
The cursed blade trapped within the cage shall be unsheathed.
The meaning behind those innocent words of encouragement, only one truly knows.
New Character Profiles
A woman who is a resident of the Valverde Commonwealth. She is the oldest of 9 siblings and currently serves as their mother figure. In the past, she shared the same dream as Chris' parents and supported them through volunteer work. She has a fairly impatient personality and cannot even wait the few minutes required to make cup noodles.
A young boy who lives in the Valverde Commonwealth. He is the oldest boy out of 9 siblings. However, he is also the youngest of all his siblings. As a result of being raised around nothing but older sisters, he has a strong sense of justice and is always quick to action. He likes soccer and loves Japanese anime.
New Character Song Info
1 - Dangerous Sunshine
2 - Happy Smile Vacation
Power of God
The "absolute power" sought by the Bavarian Illuminati. The result of centuries of research performed by those involved with Saint Germain, it has finally reached a completed form. The "Power of God" created through the lives of many sacrifices is a pure high level energy with no true shape or color. However, through the influence of thought it was reformed into a "weapon" designed with a specific goal. In the Valverde experiment, it was given form through the envisionment of the South American god known as Youaltepuztli. As a result it manifested in a terrifying and monstrous form that immediately assaulted Fujitaka and Tomosato as they were on reconnaissance.
It has offensive capabilities that can overwhelm even the Symphogear system, however more than that it has the ability to offset damage done to it by sacrificing one version of itself in a parallel universe. This ability that transcends the realm of logic makes it essentially invincible and therefore is its greatest strength. After it reached its completed form, it became possible for any Alchemist to summon and utilize it. However, in the battle at the Escalon Airport it took Hibiki's punch and was completely obliterated before it could make use of its nearly invincible ability.
Tiki Statue
A female doll trapped within an amber crystal. Several hundred years ago it sunk and was lost to the sea, becoming dormant. However, during the great world war it was discovered and recovered by a U-boat attached to the German Navy. The results of the investigation done at that time determined that it was something developed using unknown technology and techniques and was thus labeled a "sacrist." However nothing regarding how it could be used was determined and became nothing more than something that sat in storage. After the war ended it was taken to the Valverde Commonwealth by a defecting soldier and had remained there until now.
The daily life of the Adaptors. It has been thought that the most important aspect of being able to control the Symphogear's power is not high physical strength or incredible reflexes, but rather stability in ones mental state. However, if that is the case then why do the Adaptors go through such intense training on a regular basis? That is to create a strong belief in themselves. To raise their level of "self-confidence." How much can they love themselves, as they fight to stay true to their beliefs? As long as they believe in themselves, they will always have someone to depend on and can survive even the worst of situations. With that in mind, suitable training menus are prepared for each of them individually. One could simply say that this is just the result of their will-power, but in reality each Adaptor has shown a slight rise in their link coefficient which has improved their fighting strength as well.
"That's why it's not cheating if I use roller blades, Kiri-chan"
"That still doesn't sound right to me. It's like they're just blowing smoke!"

Anybody know a good easy quest to hunt Millipod Noise? Their the big octopus looking ones with many legs. Need them for the weekly quest. Also bad luck with the Gacha strikes again. That moment you already got a 5* and the gacha gives you another copy instead of one you want/need. Also it looks like that you loose points and start over on your rank if you don't get to the next rank before the weekly ranking ends in VS Mode. I was 4 freaking points away to Rank up to F3 but then it closed and when I looked again I was 1100 inteads of 1396. Ticks me off so much =/. And as much as I like the Ignites its annoying as heck to fight them or any other Unit in VS Mode who can paralyze you. At least poison and burn let you fight and can be dealt with. Paralyze is too OP and takes the fight out of it and makes it unfair =/.ReplyDelete

Well the good thing about 3.5 is that it's short and from the looks of it their gonna release an Event for it too so look forward to whenever you decide to translate them. I am veeeery curious about it. Now to work on getting Hajimari no Babel because HNNNNNNNNNG DAT SONG.ReplyDelete
On other notes, does anyone know a good easy quest to hunt Millipod Noise? The ones that look like giant octopus with many legs. Need them for the Weekly Quests.
Also, that moment in Gacha when you get a 5 star but its already one you have when you were hoping for one you want/need.
And that other moment when you realize that, if you don't Rank-Up in VS Mode before the weekly ranking ends, the points you had earn will reset to the start of your current Rank. I was at 1396, just 4 points to F3 but then the week ended and when I looked again I was at 1100. So freaking mad about that =/. Also, even though I like the Ignite Units it sure is freaking annoying to deal with them in VS Mode. Them and any Unit with paralysis. Obviously they would come in handy in those pesky story quests but nothing like loosing a fair looking fight because they stun your whole party on the first shot because RNG. Even worse when you awaken/limit break the things because the chances for effects grow higher. At least burn and poison let you fight and can be dealt with. Not so for paralyze/stun. Makes it so freaking unfair =/. For the record people, the last team you use [or set/try to use and click the button but ran out of BP and didn't notice] during VS Mode is probably the team that others will see when they fight you. I would very much like to at least reach those S1-30k points cause I doubt I'll ever Rank 1 but it would be nice to know I can get a solid 50 Gems a week without worry =/.

Illustrated by Pam Smy
With a new introduction by the author, this brilliantly funny ghost story for children features integrated illustrations by artist Pam Smy.
Published price: US$ 53.95
Someone is causing havoc in East End Cottage, and for once it isn't James. When strange scrawled notes start appearing all over his new family home in the old Oxfordshire village of Ledsham, 10-year-old James seems the obvious culprit. But only he knows the troublemaker's true identity – Thomas Kempe, a petulant 17th-century sorcerer who has taken up residence as a poltergeist in his new bedroom. And to make matters worse, no one will believe him. So, to avoid missing out on pocket money and pudding for the rest of his life, it will be up to James to find out why Thos. Kempe Esq., Sorcerer, has returned, and how to get rid of him.
'The Ghost Of Thomas Kempe is a glorious reminder of the fun of being a boy'
First published in 1973, and winner of the Carnegie
Medal, The Ghost of Thomas Kempe is a brilliantly
funny ghost story for children, from one
of the great writers of modern
British fiction. But, as Penelope Lively explains
in her new introduction that
there is 'intriguing hidden
ballast' to James's quest to rid Ledsham
of its troublesome ghost. Uncovering dusty
diaries and investigating local folklore, James delves
deeper into the past and slowly comes to realise that
there is an undiscovered world around him, one filled
with the memories of lives lived before his own. Lively's
own interest in social history and memory, which
suffuses much of her later adult fiction, informs James's
own adventure as he begins to realise his place in the
passage of time, and that we can't all be ten forever.
'I am so impressed by the design of the title page, the choice of paper, the quality of the printed greys and the way the light blue and petrol blue of the cover sit together. It even smells good! You and your team have taken such care over every detail'Pam Smy has created over two dozen whimsical illustrations for this edition. Characters such as Mrs Verity, Tim the dog and Bert – the builder-cum-exorcist – are brought vividly to life. Many of the images are integrated with the text, whisking the reader along with James around the streets of Ledsham and the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside.
An extract from the author's new introduction to this edition
The Ghost of Thomas Kempe was published in 1973. It is over 40 years since it was written – by some alter ego, or so it seems. Read today, it is familiar to me, but also strange; I couldn't write like that now – indeed, writing for children left me long ago, to my regret. But what is intriguing, reading with some detachment, is that I can recognise with absolute clarity the prompts, the sources, for the story, and they are just the same as those for adult fiction, later in a writing life. Inspirational triggers, for me, have been a curious marriage of something read, something seen or found, and all the encircling clamour of life as lived.
The something found was the stem and bowl of a clay pipe. Thomas Kempe's clay pipe, I suppose. Many bits of clay pipe, indeed. We were living at the time in a 16th-century former rectory; the garden there threw up fascinating domestic detritus – broken crockery from medieval potsherds to Victorian flowered china, the curved glass bases of 18th-century wine bottles, and all those clay pipes. Gardening acquired an extra level of interest. Clay pipes, I learned, date from the end of the 16th century to the 19th, and vary from decade to decade, so that archaeologists can often use them to date a level of excavation. The stems are extremely brittle; the past must echo to expletives as yet another damn pipe fell to bits. I collected all this stuff – a cake tin full of garden archaeology which I still possess – and at some point the ghost of Thomas Kempe, or someone like him, came smoking out of one of those pipes.

25 Great Ways How To Purify Water For Drinking
What is purified water? To simply put it, purified water is the purest water out there. It is water that is routinely filtered to be cleaned for intake. And when it comes to the water you drink, you can't afford to spare on water purification.
To know more about this, read the following water purifier comparison carefully to learn how to purify water.
1. Boiling Water
Boiling is the simplest tactic among water purification methods to cleanse water that is unsafe because of micro-organism contamination such as viruses, parasites, or bacteria. The notion in this style of sanitation is that the micro-organism is eliminated by pushing the bacterium or virus past its heat range.
- Get access to some household cooking facilities with fire
- Or when such facilities are not available, some type of outdoor/camping cooking equipment can also work
- After preparing the materials, bring the water to a rolling boil for 3-5 minutes, and to be extra safe, let the water boil rapidly for one minute, especially at higher altitudes since water boils at a lower temperature
- Let the water cool before drinking
One of the prevalent advantages here is that you are not adding any chemical to your water; however, boiling will not remove metals or harmful chemicals. So, be wary if the contaminants are metals, nitrates, pesticides, solvents and the like.
2. Water Chlorination
This is an emergency water purification where water can be made safe for drinking by remedying with liquid household chlorine bleach. Household bleach is normally between 5% and 6% chlorine, and this is a heavy-duty oxidant that swiftly kills many harmful micro-organisms.
By using this method, keep in mind that regular household bleaches have an expiration date and you should only use those that do not contain perfumes, dyes, and other additives.
Place the water in a clean container and add the
amount of bleach corresponding to the table below:
16 drops bleach
Per gallon or four-liter container of water
8 drops bleach
Per two-quart, two-liter or half gallon container of water
4 drops bleach
Per quart or liter container of water
Mix carefully and permit to stand for at least 30 minutes or
at least an hour if the water is chalky before using.
Enjoy a rather strange-tasting, yet purified, delight.
Needless to say, drawbacks to water chlorination include
aesthetic apprehensions such as taste and odor.
3. Ozonation
Ozonation is used mainly used by European countries to produce purified water. This method uses ozone, a pale blue gas with a peculiarly bitter smell, as a disinfectant. This is created on-site and added to the water by bubble contact in order to break down a wide variety of nonliving, biological and microbiological problems and taste and odor problems.
Nevertheless, this system has a higher equipment and operational cost, and probable fire hazards and toxicity concerns are related with ozone generation.
4. Iodine Treatment
Generally, this treatment is one of many portable water purification systems that can be used by anyone who must acquire drinking water from untreated sources. The iodine kills various, but not all, of the most common pathogens existent in natural fresh water sources.
The procedure is as follows:
Iodine as water purification tablets is also available for those in need of field purification. This kind of tablet can serve as the best lightweight camping water purifier.
5. Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation
Ultraviolet water purification is a decontamination technique that uses ultraviolet light at appropriately short wavelength to eradicate or inactivate microorganisms. UV water purification is fast and compares positively with other water purifier in terms of cost and labor.
UV light water purification stops microbes from replicating making them far less hazardous. Water treated by ultraviolet water purifier is about the healthiest water that you can probably drink. Still, water that was preserved under a UV light water purifier must not be exposed to visible light for any weighty period of time before drinking to avoid consumption of reactivated microbes.
6. Solar Disinfection
This is a type of portable water purification that uses solar energy to make biologically-contaminated water safe to drink. There are three main subsets of solar water disinfection –electric water purifier, heat purification and UV purification. The gist in this is that microbes are annihilated by the temperature provided by the sun which makes Solar Disinfection suitable as a travel water purifier.
7. Solar Distillation
This is a practical manner of distilling water using the heat of the sun. Great for any water purifier camping situation, solar distillation can be done when a makeshift still can be constructed simply from readily available components to be a portable water purifier. It is then placed it over a small pit that is burrowed into the ground so that it can be used to make safe drinking water from unnatural water sources.
8. Reverse Osmosis
RO water purifier products use a process wherein inorganic solids such as salts are removed from a solution by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure. This is universally known for its use in drinking water purification from seawater.
If you are in the market for a great way to purify your own water at home, please check out our list of the best reverse osmosis water filters available online.
9. Filtration through Winnowing Sieve
When the water source is contaminated by wind-borne filth such as dry leaves, this type of filtration is best utilized. However, this method cannot be used when the raw water is highly turbid or muddy, since the sieve cannot filter fine suspended particles in raw water.
Raw water is passed through a winnowing sieve – a tool of wire mesh or closely holed metal or plastic – and the impurities are filtered
10. Filtration through Cloth
This is most suitable for filtration of well water as it can only filter raw water containing impurities such as plant debris, insects or coarse mud particles. The gist in this type of Do-It-Yourself filtration is that a thin white cotton cloth or a discarded garment is used as the filter medium.
11. Filtration through Clay Vessels
Clay vessels with a suitable pore size are used widely in Egypt to filter highly muddy water.
- Turbid water is collected and placed at the bottom of the big porous clay jar and is allowed to settle down
- Then the water in the jar will trickle through the porous clay wall of the jar
12. Clarification and Filtration through Plant Material
This type of water filtration uses nuts or roots and cloth filters to purify highly turbid water. Generally, the result of this method is a jar of filtered water that is very clear and has a pleasant smell. Looks can deceive, folks...
13. Jempeng Stone Filter Method
This type of filtration can be best used as a village water treatment since there is no operational or maintenance cost such as for cleaning.
- Put the jempeng stone filter units which are carved out of a porous material called 'cadas' in the artificial ponds
- And let the muddy water filters through the porous wall of the filter unit as it gets collected inside
14. Dungeness Crab Shells and Nopal Cactus Gel Purification
These natural products can filter out the metals, iron and copper dissolved in water. This method is the most environmentally friendly way to cleanse water by recycling.
15. Membrane Filtration
This is a physical filtration process where a contaminated fluid is passed through a thin layer of semi-permeable membrane to separate microorganisms and suspended particles from process liquid.
16. Flocculation
When impurities cannot be removed by other water purification methods, Flocculation can come to the rescue. This process constitutes a vital part in the treatment of surface water or of waters with high-level of contamination.
17. Aeration
Today, aeration is applied generally to ground waters, for the removal of iron, and then of manganese, and also to eliminate malodorous gases from sulfur bearing ground waters.
In aeration, water is sprayed into the air to raise the oxygen content, to break down stinks, and to balance the dissolved gases.
18. Pressure Sand
This type of water purification method is often used to remove suspended solids from water. The filtration medium comprises of several layers of sand with a variety in size and specific gravity and this must be back-washed regularly.
19. Sedimentation
Sedimentation is a physical water treatment process using gravity to remove suspended solids from water. This is the primary treatment of sewage in removal of floating solids.
20. Using a Water Purifier
Today, companies offer products that enable whole house water purification systems. These pieces of equipment assure bottled water quality at your faucet. So, what is the best water purifier available in the market?
The survey mentioned "Pureit" water purifier to be the world's largest selling water purifier that removes unhealthy micro-organisms, chlorine lead and pesticide.
21. Slow Sand Filters
Using slow sand filters does a limited bacteria removal but can produce very high quality water free from pathogens, taste and odor without the need for chemical aids.
22. Direct Contact Membrane Distillation
- Heated seawater is circulated along the surface of a hydrophobic polymer membrane
- Evaporated water passes from the broiling surface through pores in the membrane into a stream of cold pure water on the other side.
23. Desalination
Desalination refers to the removal of salts and minerals. More notably, salt water is desalinated to produce fresh water suitable for human consumption or irrigation.
However, this is currently expensive compared to UV water purifier and other alternative purified water brands.
24. Gas Hydrate Crystals Centrifuge Method
Gas hydrate crystals are formed when carbon dioxide or other low molecular weight gas is mixed with contaminated water at high pressure and low temperature, and in order to purify the water, this centrifuge method should be performed.
25. In Situ Chemical Oxidation
This is a form of innovative oxidation technology used for soil and groundwater purification to lessen the concentrations of targeted environmental contaminants to tolerable levels.
The process of injecting strong chemical oxidizers directly into the contaminated channel to terminate chemical contaminants in place.
At the end of the day, purifying our water (as opposed to filtering it an a pitcher, for example) is more important now than it has ever been in human history. Our species will only continue to ravage the world with every year that passes and clean, potable water will become harder and harder to come by.
Hopefully this article has helped you on your quest for thirst-quenching purified water. Happy Purifying!

Next Saturday, on 10.2.10, a large and diverse coalition of over 200 faith, labor, youth, student and civil rights organizations will mass in Washington and cities all over the country for One Nation Working Together. Organizers expect participants in the six figures to "demand the change we voted for" and build a social movement around Jobs, Justice and Education for All. This event contrasts with the spate of Tea Party rallies and events that we've seen over the past year.
"We are invisible to the majority in this country at this moment," said Ben Jealous, President of the NAACP, a key coalition partner for One Nation. "Prosperity is decreasing while diversity is increasing. We look at this and say we've got to tell the nation that job creation is priority number one in America, so we can not only impact the national debate but give the disempowered a sense of being part of something bigger than themselves."
The event comes at the height of campaign season, after Congress has left to return to their districts and when some critics have said this coalition's time would be better spent in an electoral context, working for candidates that share their message and concern. "It's not an either/or thing," said Richard Trumka, President of the AFL-CIO, who promised that his labor forces would bring up to 100,000 people to Washington. "People within a 10-12 mile driving radius are coming to DC. But we have neighborhood walks in over 300 sites outside of DC."
Indeed there will be a local component. In Los Angeles, a day of action at LA City College will feature voter outreach to, they claim, 200,000 voters. NAACP President Jealous mentioned big rallies in New Orleans and Seattle. "People are mobilizing and reuniting, around an agenda of shared prosperity," he said.
Traditionally, these rallies on the left end up having a scattered message. While organizers portrayed it firmly about showing a progressive economic vision for the middle class, a flyer I received for the event posited it as an anti-war march. "Every coalition partner has agreed to come together for one nation for good jobs, justice and education for all," Trumka said. Of course, that's pretty broad in and of itself, encompassing the economy, small business, infrastructure, civil and human rights, immigration, gay rights and education. But Jealous wasn't concerned about this. "If people are inspired to stand up and shout on their issues on which they feel passionate, if it's the DREAM Act or jobs or peace, that's a beautiful thing."
The challenge of building a mass movement along a concept of a progressive economic vision is the terrible toll that the economic crisis and the Great Recession has taken on the psyche of America. Velma Hart, the women who described her "exhaustion" with President Obama at a town hall meeting, has become something of a touchstone for the nation. With millions unemployed and despairing, how do you get them to commit and engage, instead of retreating within and running from the frustrating freak show that our politics have become.
Each of the leaders I spoke with sounded a hopeful note. Trumka said that the labor rank and file has not been slow to embrace the election or this new economic vision. "Our members are starting to get excited," he said. "It's slow to start and then we pick things up." Trumka described how labor would work just as intensely with the unemployed this year as with their employed members. "We do it in a conscientious concerted manner," he said. "Our organizers talk to 25-30,000 members a week, and help the unemployed find out what's available to them and show that they have someone who can help."
Jealous, of the NAACP, was more philosophical. "If we want people to stay engage, we have to raise our voices and come together," he said. "People ask, if I go to One Nation, will I get a job. I say, if you don't show up, it'll be harder to find a job. We have to tell the people in power, whoever they are, that we must create jobs as priority number one."
Jealous raised the importance of not retreating, and talking over both the despair people feel, and the new economic vision that can keep them going. He didn't sugar-coat the problems with creating a movement at a time of recession. "The true cost and impact of recession has become known. You have to now lift up the voices, give them a direction and a goal. What's the next battle, what's the piece of geography. The Ted Kennedy Service Act hasn't been funded, could create hundreds of thousands of jobs. George Miller's bill would create 1 million jobs with a Keynesian infusion into the states. We can only get these by building a movement and ensuring country moves toward building a better future."

No retirement plans for Adams
Nicola Adams has no intention of following her former Great Britain team-mate Natasha Jonas into retirement as she focuses on becoming a double Olympic gold medallist in Rio next year.
Having overcome another lengthy injury lay-off, Adams is preparing to return to an English ring for the first time since her London 2012 triumph at the national championships in Liverpool next week.
And with a world gold medal still proving elusive, the 32-year-old Adams insists she has absolutely no plan to set a time-scale on when it will finally be time to hang up her golden gloves.
Nicola Adams has no plans to call time on her career
Adams told Press Association Sport: "I will keep fighting as long as I have the motivation to do so and there is no reason why that should not continue after the Rio Olympics.
"At the moment becoming a double Olympic champion is the only thing on my mind but I have other goals left to achieve including world gold after only taking three silvers so far.
"Despite all my injury problems I have never lost my love for the sport and as long as I keep that love of fighting and entertaining the crowd I will still be eager to compete."
Adams will face a rare challenge to her domestic dominance in Liverpool with her 51kg category also including Lisa Whiteside, who won world silver in Adams' absence earlier this year.
The Preston fighter has boiled down to the flyweight division in order to challenge for Adams' Olympic spot and they should go head-to-head for the first time in next Sunday's final.
But Adams, who underwent shoulder surgery earlier this year, warned: "I am feeling really good - my speed and timing have returned and I feel like a whole new fighter.
"I had to change my style for the Commonwealth Games because I had to hide just how much of a problem my shoulder was causing, but I came through it and took the gold medal.
"Now it is not giving me any problems at all so I can revert to the way I have always fought and hopefully the fans in Liverpool will be able to see me at my best."

The Minister of State, Department of the Environment (Earl Ferrers) rose to move, That the draft order laid before the House on 13th February be approved [10th Report from the Joint Committee].
The noble Earl said: My Lords, this is the third order of this nature to come before your Lordships. We have previously considered those relating to the Leeds and the Bristol development corporations.
This order is now required to wind up the Central Manchester Development Corporation. It revokes the 1988 order which designated the urban development area and which established the development corporation.
The order will take effect in two stages. The first is that that part of the order which designated the urban development area is to be revoked on 1st April 1996. The second is that that part of the order which established the corporation is to be revoked on 1st July 1996.
The reason for having two stages is that on 1st April the corporation will cease to exercise any operational functions. It is, therefore, proper that the urban development area status should be removed on that date. The corporation will then have three months in which to produce its annual report and accounts and to wind up its affairs. On 1st July the corporation will finally be dissolved.
All development corporations were intended from the outset to be bodies with a limited life. They were set up with the particular aim of helping the regeneration of certain run-down urban areas in order to give those areas a much needed boost after years of neglect. We are winding up the Central Manchester Development Corporation, therefore, precisely because it has successfully revived the fortunes of its designated area and because it has established a solid base from which regeneration can continue.
The corporation was set up in 1988. Its remit was to revitalise, and to bring private investment back, to an area of 187 hectares--an area which is immediately south of the city centre. This area was once the powerhouse of Manchester. But it had become run-down and neglected, with many under-used buildings and derelict sites.
This was a depressing and sad state of affairs for the centre of what was, and is, a magnificent and proud city. There was, therefore, a pressing need to tackle environmental decay, to promote jobs and tourism and to bring housing back to the city centre.
Anyone who has visited this area, as I have been privileged to do recently, cannot fail to be enormously impressed by the way in which the corporation has tackled these problems. It has transformed a once neglected area into a thriving, vibrant part of the city centre where developers are now keen to invest. It is wonderful not only to see what has been done but also
An important part of the corporation's work has been to bring people and vitality back to the city centre. In 1988 the population of the urban development area was just 250. Now, eight years later, nearly 4,000 people live there. That is an astonishing change. Those people live in lively new communities with decent services and popular bars, pubs and restaurants.
The corporation has spent some £17 million on environmental improvements. These include such things as clearing canals, restoring towpaths and putting in new landscaping. Much of this work has been done in the Castlefield area, which is now a major leisure and tourist attraction and which is based around the historic canal network. These environmental improvement works have been vital ingredients in inspiring the confidence of investors and in creating an overall image of which local people can be proud.
The corporation has also succeeded in attracting new jobs and new businesses. Many under-used and neglected buildings have been converted into quality offices and hotels of varying sizes. New offices have also been built. Since the corporation started its work, over 98,000 square metres of offices have opened or are under way. That is a significant contribution.
In all, the corporation has attracted into its area private sector investment of £376 million. For every £1 of public money which has been invested by the corporation, nearly £4 will have been invested by the private sector. Noble Lords will agree that that is a remarkable achievement.
The corporation, though, has not achieved all this on its own. Underlying all its achievements have been the close and successful partnerships which it formed with the city council, with other public sector agencies and with the private sector. A splendid example of this spirit of co-operation can be seen in the new international concert hall, the Bridgewater Hall, which is due to open in the autumn. This was conceived and financed in partnership with the city council, with substantial backing from the European Regional Development Fund. It will be the centrepiece for the regeneration of an entire sector of the city.
There are many aspects of the achievements of the Central Manchester Development Corporation which deserve just recognition, but I fear that, were I to mention them, I might weary your Lordships greatly, which would be distressing. The Central Manchester Development Corporation has, without doubt, been a great success story. Parts of central Manchester which were decaying are now no longer decaying but thriving due to the corporation's splendid efforts. It has restored the confidence of private sector investors. It has stimulated new jobs and homes. It has created a cleaner, safer environment. In partnership with the city council, it has laid a solid basis for continued regeneration in the future.
Now that that has been done, it is right to wind up the corporation. It is now for others, such as the council, to carry on the work and to build upon the corporation's achievements. The order is necessary to wind up the
Moved, That the draft order laid before the House on 13th February be approved [10th Report from the Joint Committee].--(Earl Ferrers.)
Lord Dubs: My Lords, perhaps I may say a few words about the order. When development corporations were first established, there was a sense that the Government had set them up because they lacked complete confidence in the ability of local authorities to achieve the necessary regeneration in their areas. There was concern that by setting up the development corporations the Government were lessening the status of local authorities in their areas by taking away large chunks of responsibility from elected councillors and giving them to an unelected body. Those were the concerns, and many of us felt an element of unhappiness about it.
The Central Manchester Development Corporation has, by all accounts, done an outstandingly good job. Someone in Manchester said that it was in danger of giving development corporations a good name. All that I know of the work of the Central Manchester Development Corporation is that it has achieved everything that the Minister described in detail. It has done a good job in regenerating a part of Manchester which badly needed a shot in the arm. That was good news for Manchester, and I pay tribute to all those involved with the development corporation for a successful period.
We now enter a new phase. Manchester will have to do without the corporation and, above all, it will have to do without the money which the corporation spent in regenerating the area. I hope that the Government will be able to find other means, through other budgets, of helping to achieve continuity for the City of Manchester so that some of the good ideas started by the development corporation are not brought to a dead halt on 1st April or 1st July.
The Minister was so enthusiastic, as I listened to him, about the work of the development corporation that he went close to suggesting that Manchester had no problems left at all; it was almost Utopia there. Manchester is a great city. I spent some years of my childhood there and have an enormous affection for it. However, I cannot believe that every problem has now been solved. I hope that what the Minister said will be tempered by the realisation that Manchester still has pockets of poverty; it still has a need for more industry and more employment for its many people.
We now go back to the local authority, the city council. After all, local government in Manchester had a good record before the development corporation was established. I understand that it was the local authority that set up Manchester Airport, which is outstanding and a sign of what local government can do.
Looking to the future, I hope that the Government will be helpful in stimulating and assisting the local authority to go on stimulating those parts of the city that need further regeneration. I see the future very much as
Earl Ferrers: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Dubs, for what he said. He is always honest, and he was particularly frank when he said that when the development corporations were set up they were pretty unpopular. People were doubtful and sceptical; they felt that the corporations were taking away powers from the local authorities. I can understand that. However, the Government had in mind that various places throughout the country were derelict, run-down and needed a shot in the arm. The only way to do that was to set up the development corporations. As the noble Lord was courteous enough to say, they have done a great job, and I am grateful to him for acknowledging it.
If I gave the impression that no more problems existed in Manchester, I assure the noble Lord that it was the wrong impression. I meant that over the area, just that one small part of Manchester for which the development corporation was responsible, it has done an exceedingly good job. There will be much more to do within the whole of Manchester.
The noble Lord was worried in case government funds would not be available. I am sure that he will realise that that phase of life has come to an end but new phases will go on and the city council will take over the responsibilities. The Government will make further money available where needed. For example, there is the Hulme City Challenge for which the Government are making available £37.5 million over five years. There is Estate Action where £54 million is being spent over this year and the next three years. There is the Challenge Fund, Round 1, which will receive £14 million over the next six years. In the second round of the Challenge Fund £28 million is being made available over the next seven years. And of course the Government contributed no less a sum than £75 million towards the Olympic bids. That was done over five years, from 1991 to 1996. Unfortunately, Manchester was not successful in getting the Olympic bid but because of that it got the Commonwealth Games bid, and therefore that has been a success.
The noble Lord should not worry too much that the Government will not be thinking of Manchester any more. Of course we shall; but it has to take its place in all the other priorities throughout the country. The main point is that this particular facet of life, the Central Manchester Development Corporation, which was set up for a term has been a success. The term has come to an end, and now it is for others to pick up the baton and run with it.
The corporation can be very proud of its achievements. I congratulate the chairman, Dr. James Grigor, and his fellow board members and the corporation's dedicated officers on the splendid work they have achieved over the past eight years. It is something of which they can be proud, and something of which Greater Manchester will also be proud. I commend the order to the House.
On Question, Motion agreed to.

Today, I while holstering my Witness .45, I noticed a speck of rust near the top strap/tang, where the web of my hand grasps the pistol. Now, I have NEVER had rust appear on any firearm, and promptly wiped it down with Break Free. But, what is the best most efficient way to make the little speck of rust go away for good? I don't want any pitting to start. Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
