E-mail letters to email@example.com

Animal Activity Licence Update
A number of M.P.'s have replied to our members letters, whilst there has been some positive feedback. Defra reply to them have been non-committal as to content on who will be affected.
If you haven't already sent a letter or e-mail we would urge you to do so to keep the pressure on M.P.'s and ultimately Defra.
The letter for individuals can be found below, as can the letter for Clubs to send in.
Club Version Cage and Aviary Bird
The Committee feel that we should do everything in our powers to prevent the Animal Activity License applying to the Hobbyist.
We therefore have revised C & A B letter to M.P.'s for use by Clubs you can read it below.
Please pass this on to any C.B.S. clubs you may be involved with as the more clubs that send in this protest, the more our concerns will be raised by M.P.'s.

The page is called Breeding Season F.A.Q's. and is under the Hobby dropdown.
Check it out.
C & A.B. M.P. Letter
We have added the C & AB M P letter as a seperate download for those of you who would like to support this initative and send it to your local Member of Parliament.

Legislation Affecting Hobbyist Bird Keepers
I am sure you are all wondering what is going on with proposed changes to the Animal Welfare Act especially concerning the Animal Activities Licence (AAL) and what the Border Convention is doing about it?
The committee at the present time are consulting various bodies and other societies and in general trying to keep their "finger on the pulse" and will endeavour to keep the fancy abreast of any updates.
Meanwhile find below a pdf. with the available facts at hand.
North Staffs
North Staffs have changed their Show date for 2018 to avoid clashing with the I.B.B.A at the National.
Their show will now be held on Sunday the 30th September 2018.
It will revert to Sunday the 6th October in 2019.
The Border Convention and the I.B.B.A would like to thank North Staffs Members for making this compromise for the good of the Fancy.
The reason for the original clash of dates was caused by the Parrot society who organise the National being unable to book Stafford show ground for the second weekend in October.
The Border Convention would urge all exhibitor to support North Staffs by supporting their show, for this selfless decision.
Breeding Season F.A.Q's
This page is up and running it can be found underthe Hobby dropdown .

Thankyou George and Ray
The Border Convention committee would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to George Eltringham for all the hard work, input and time he has invested in the committee during his 18 years as our Chairman.
Similarly we would like to thank Ray Morgan for all his endeavours as Vice Chairman over the last 16 years.
George and Ray are continuing to serve as valued committee members and we look forward to their experienced support and advice for years to come.
Breeding Season F.A.Q.'s
I have been taken to task by a novice breeder over part of my Presidents Message namely:-
"Thirdly, by passing on your knowledge there are many experienced border men out there that have a fount of knowledge, whilst at the same time would be bird keepers and novices are thirsting for that knowledge."
What is the website going to do about it?
To that end I've created a new web page "Breeding Season F.A.Q.'s"
If novices (or anyone) will send in a query via e-mail, I will endeavour to provide an answer from a top breeder, however this will depend on their cooperation.

British Border Fancy Canary Accommodation for next year's show.
It was the BBFCC's committee decision to have a carvery meal on both nights, not the Forest Hills Hotel, at this year's event. I had a meeting with the Hotel to address some of the complaints that I received this year.
The following can be offered for next year, menu choices can be given out on arrival on the Friday for both Friday and Saturday nights. To be served in the Restaurant Friday and in the Vale Royal suite Saturday night with a Disco for dancing after the meal.
If guests prefer then B&B option is available at £44 p.p.p.n. The Dinner Bed & Breakfast rate for next year is £52.50 p.p.p.n. The usual single supplement will apply.
I have reserved a bloc booking as per usual to be able to have the above special rates.
The Hotel has already taken some provisional bookings for next year.
I would still recommend the Forest Hills Hotel as the majority are happy with this venue. Also, I would mention that the other Hotels in the area are very large with 140 rooms plus and can be very noisy and fully booked at weekends well in advance.

Do you think it's not easy to get good grades? Let me give you advices so you will stay focused. Going to a school or a university is very exciting and enriching, however it could also be difficult at the end of the day. In college, there are subjects and majors that are really not easy to be with, and you might end up procrastinating as there are also those that require you to pass assignments immediately. Some of the things that would go in a college atmosphere are: listening to the lectures that seem to be endless, taking tons of pages of tedious notes, doing class projects, reading what is written in the book endlessly, or begging "write my assignment for me", studying for tests and surprise quizzes, and making friends and socializing. Some students would even look for a job so that they can pay for the loans and other fees that they must pay like room and board, food, and the list goes and on. So, it basically is not hard to see how a person's grades could suffer if it is not taken control of.
I will give you ten ways for you to get good grades. You might get scared and unprepared, but getting good grades in college is definitely not as difficult as many people like you might think, as long as you are willing to work hard, prioritize, and focus. You first have to study hard, this might sound a bit reiterated, but really, studying hard usually would pay off. Focus on the key points and do not spend too much time on the points that are least needed. Second is you should know which to prioritize, classes and studying should come before having fun and partying. There's nothing wrong with having that incorporated just so you make sure that your class work gets done before you dive into having fun mainly. The next thing that you should do is to visualize yourself receiving nothing but A-s, and work hard for you to earn it. Try not working more than 16 hours if possible, the less, the better you are. You don't have to get yourself stressed, so get enough sleep the night before you go to school, especially when you have a subject that would require you to go very early. You have to, so you can be awake and feel refreshed the next day.
To get good grades, you should not overexert yourself when trying to study or trying to learn something. Also, do many classes and workload that you are sure that you can handle. Make sure that you do not put too much on your plate that you can't handle. Make the class fun to be in and enjoyable. Participate in extracurricular activities too, to help you enjoy your stay in your school. And lastly, seek the assistance of your professor if you need to be assisted in case you didn't get the point that she has stressed. I hope that this article on how to get good grades has helped you.

By: Christian Anderson, City Saver Brand Manager
I am one of the newest members of the City Saver team, having come on board a couple of weeks ago as the Brand Manager. I am also new to Nashville, after arriving near the middle of July from New York. Ironically, I have found that using the City Saver mobile app is an excellent way to discover the area.
Part of my job is to help promote the benefits of City Saver via the coupon books and mobile app, and after using the app over the past three weeks, I can honestly say that it's an excellent tool.
My phone is always with me, and utilizing the app "on the go" has helped me find good deals at restaurants and other local merchants. Moving to the south was a daunting proposition, but the City Saver mobile app has helped make the transition much easier.
Just last weekend, for instance, my fiancé and I discovered JJ's Wine Bar in beautiful downtown Franklin, and sampled some wines while enjoying an appetizer. You can use the City Saver mobile app to search local merchants by neighborhoods, so finding JJ's was a piece of cake.
Yesterday, I went to Tin Roof 2 in Cool Springs and took advantage of the coupon for free queso dip. It was a nice treat after a long weekend, and I was able to take advantage of the deal because I had the City Saver mobile app installed on my phone.
The app has also helped me find excellent deals at local golf courses, haircuts and much more. Be sure to download a free version of the 2014 version after you buy your City Saver book. It will pay for itself after just a few uses, and the coupons are good until Dec. 30, 2014!
Take it from someone who just arrived in central Tennessee, the City Saver app is a very convenient way to find the best deals at a bunch of locations.

In the fourteen years in which she anchored at WCBS, including afternoon drive with the likes of Tom Franklin, Gary Maurer, and Harvey Hauptman, Rita Sands got to know the station's chopper pilots, both on and off the air. As a licensed pilot herself, who once headed public affairs for the Eastern Region of the FAA out of JFK, who better than Rita to tell both the helicopter story and her own? --DS
Rita and Cessna
Working in news, particularly in live radio news, especially in the way it used to exist in the early 1970s, you discovered every day how much more you are capable of learning and executing, more than you would have ever thought possible, and it surprises you in a very exciting way.
Neal Busch (l)  Lou Timolat (r)
I don't think this would have happened to me in any other place. It was at this radio station, in this era, with these people, at just the right time of my development. I picked up speed and understanding every day, working alongside an incredible and seasoned news staff, reporters, writers, editors, producers, engineers, the news directors, the sales people, every single person there made an impact, and we all had to monitor the product, what went out over the air. You had to keep listening and evaluating.
It wasn't long after I joined WCBS that I took great interest in what our news and traffic helicopters were doing. They were doing a lot that not only impacted and updated our stories if they could be witnessed by air, but their primary mission was providing directly verified traffic problems that helped a huge number of commuters every day. Just that "sounder" that preceded a live report from one of the WCBS helicopters made all of us sit up and take notice. Through the years the News88 helicopter crews were essential to the widening of live and on scene coverage of all kinds of news. Our own pilot reporters were the best, and respect for them kept growing every time we learned more about what exactly they had to do up there in a single engine aircraft weaving through a crowded sky yet bound by an approved corridor of air that would remove the burden of having to check in with ATC (Air Traffic Control) every few minutes.

Communicating to base and to the public were demanding works in progress, throughout every day. Some very smart people behind the scenes -- the engineering staff -- kept the lines of communication open and clear. Here's some insight into how their work went on:
The two-way radio system for the helicopter pilots to communicate to both base and to the public, often needed fixes and improvements. Engineer Barry Siegfried, who joined the station in 1975, was a quick study with everything the "chopper" needed to be in touch at all times, deliver live reports and receive messages back. He knew how to evaluate problems with what looked like bunches of wires and connection points, and had complex solutions within minutes. Earlier attempts had been made to rely on wide band studio audio quality, with a required wideband Marti transmitter, "which was really an RPU remote pick up," according to Barry, who said it "suffered from more path interference, which became intolerable."
Barry Siegfried
Eventually they put a real two-way radio back into the chopper with updated repeater equipment. The new system improved drive time helicopter reports. Though it was challenging, he said, when they added "HD" to their AM transmitter and the programming on their AM air had to be delayed by about 9 to 10 seconds to match the digital delays that Barry described as inherent with the production of the HD signal. Yet this meant that the chopper broadcaster could no longer listen to the AM signal for his off-air cue because it was no longer in real time. So they devised a cueing system, which involved another UHF frequency, and Barry figured it out.
One day, pilot Lou Timolat who knew of my interest in learning to fly, offered to meet me at the eastside heliport for his pre-flight work up. While he was standing on top of the helicopter, checking the base of the rotors, and all the wiring and connections up there, I took a photo of him.
Timolat, photo by Sands
In the photo of Timolat's helicopter at the east side heliport [above], you can see in the distance an approaching plane. Lou, who always has such interesting things to say, told me how my eyes would fool me if I stared straight ahead looking for that oncoming aircraft. "Because it won't register in your vision," he said, explaining there's a blind spot in the center of the pupil called "Fovea Centralis" in the middle of the retina where the optic nerves are attached. In the middle of the retina is a small dimple called the Fovea, and in low light especially, it creates a blind spot, something especially important for pilots to remember. Instead, Timolat says the pilot sweeps his vision to the left and then to the right, so he will in fact see that aircraft if it's flying straight ahead or straight for him. And now that's something I will never forget.
That picture of Lou, atop his helicopter, was the photo brought to his retirement party when he left WCBS, and everyone there signed it. It's now at home with him in Connecticut. I'm proud of that picture because it gave him a great memory; it celebrates him "on top" of his game, on a beautiful day, at a heliport that always sent him on his way, safely.
Sands' photo of Timolat, framed & signed by WCBS staffers
In those days I was never without my camera. Many of my pictures taken at News88 of the people who worked there found a home eventually at Don Swaim's WCBS Appreciation Site, just where they should be. Don's website keeps the tribute going for a special era of radio and radio news and the people who gave so much to it, as Don still does.
Tom Salat, a military-trained helicopter pilot, as were Lou and Neal, initially worked for both CBS corporate aviation based at Westchester County airport, but was also a back up pilot for the News88 traffic helicopter team, doing his share of broadcasting reports over New York.

Paley felt very comfortable and safe with Tom as his pilot. He told him so. When the two of them would arrive at some small airport, Paley would frequently ask Tom for a dime so he could make a telephone call on one of those outdoor pay phones. Tom had to inform Paley that they now cost a quarter. So then Paley would ask Tom for a quarter, but still kept Tom's dime. Sometimes together they'd go shopping for flowers called paper whites... Paley just loved paper whites, and Paley would ask Tom if he wanted some. But Tom declined, wondering how he'd explain that to the landing crew back at Westchester, who knew he'd been with Paley.
Rich Adcock
The station began to rely on an outside contractor, Shadow Traffic, to provide traffic reports when the helicopters weren't flying. One of Shadow's prominent reporters, Ed Salvas focused on reporting for WCBS giving new stability to an important part of the mission of WCBS.
No one doubts that social media will have a profound effect on continued helicopter traffic coverage in major cities, according to pilot Neal Busch. He says the "timing of his whole career was just right," that he can foresee how instant visual computer coverage of traffic tie ups and other commuting problems will replace the system we have now, and that it will actually "be better for commuters who rely on minute by minute information to get to their destinations efficiently and safely." He sees it as a good thing.

Neal Busch has only the best memories of being a well known voice of helicopter traffic reports in and around the New York City area. Listeners used to enjoy Neal's ability to be talking about a traffic tie-up, interrupt himself quickly and with a lower almost whisper of voice, give a message to either traffic control or another nearby aircraft, and then without losing a beat return to exactly where he was in his traffic report to the driving public.

When I asked him what stands out most in his mind when he thinks of flying over New York, his first response was how he loved taking his family to see, from the air, the beautiful the Christmas lights all over New York City, to circle Rockefeller Center's tree, all lit up, and watch the ice skaters there, then swing by the Statue of Liberty, before they flew home to Scarsdale to see how their own house looked with all its Christmas lights blazing.

Lou Timolat is devoted to his family and is strongly drawn to nature. He's a creative builder and works with wood and natural supplies he finds in the fields of Connecticut. He has horses too and has a well respected book he authored titled November-three-three-Delta, Watch Over New York. You can talk to Lou about endless subjects and he knows something about each of them. He's an inspiration, as is Neal.
Tom Kaminski, Ed Baker (pilot/mechanic), Neal Busch
Over the years, some pretty wonderful and capable new helicopter pilots hired for traffic and news coverage over New York have proven themselves worthy of the job.
WCBS Traffic Reporter Joe Nolan, 1987
Tom Kaminski is now [February 2015] the helicopter traffic reporter for WCBS 880 and he's been happily doing this job since 1999. Tom rides in a Bell 206 Long Ranger, leased by Total Traffic, formerly known as Shadow/Metro Traffic.
Tom Kaminski
Lots of name changes over the years and the base of flight operations has also changed from Ridgefield Park to Linden Airport in Linden, New Jersey, where the WCBS helicopter is based and shared with another station for traffic and news reports. Tom's current pilot is George Lougnot. They fly together most every day and have a great working relationship. The biggest challenge aloft, according to Tom, is when all the air reporters are trying to cover the same story. "Everyone speaks on a company frequency so we make sure we're all accounted for at any given moment, but having up to 5 aircraft in a relatively tight space," Tom says, "certainly requires skill, and knowing and respecting the limits of the aircraft."
George Lougnot, Tom Kaminski
It was Tom Kaminski whose helicopter happened to be near the George Washington Bridge on the morning of September 11th, 2001. He saw the first plane hit the World Trade Center, Tower One. He reported on it immediately, at 8:48 am. When the second plane struck Tower Two they had just surveyed the damage at Tower One and were still perilously close to the continued attack. WCBS has worked extensively with the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, and just last year Tom was invited to voice a section of their audio tour that includes the devastation at Tower One and Tom's first report of the attack.
I can't explain why, but so many people who worked separately under the heaviest pressure at WCBS Newsradio, for years and years had private hobbies that were very similar to one another. Turned out often to be mostly photography, building or creating things, and private flying. It was quite by chance that I found this out. I never asked people at work what they did with their private time. We didn't have enough private time at work to talk about it.
After WCBS I went on to CBS network news, then to ABC Network Television News as a reporter and traveled the country, but was invited back to News88 to be the first woman drive time anchor.
After 911, I taught a workshop at Yale University on Emergency Communications Among First Responders (including media), During an Act of Bio-terrorism. My credentials included my service as a licensed EMT in Connecticut for nearly 10 years, and an appointment to the FAA. I took it all on because I came out of WCBS News Radio a changed person.

Reed Business Information is placing 12 posts at risk with plans to drop the weekly print edition Personnel Today and take the title online only.
A spokeswoman for the business magazine publisher confirmed that the 29 June issue of Personnel Today would be the last printed by the company.
RBI could not confirm in which departments the 12 job losses were likely to fall, however it said that four new posts would be created making a net loss of eight jobs.
The spokeswoman said: "Reed Business Information UK has announced the migration of Personnel Today to online only and the decision to cease publication of the magazine after the 29th June issue.
"The brand's market leading website, PersonnelToday.com, will continue, as will the Personnel Today Awards, RBI UK will also continue to publish two monthlies, Occupational Health and Employers Law.
"Twelve posts are at risk of redundancy with four new posts being created."
The switch to online-only publication at Personnel Today comes after a series of piecemeal changes at RBI.
Parent company Reed Elsevier revealed in February that profits at RBI, which includes UK magazine brands such as Farmers Weekly, News Scientist and Flight International, slumped by more than a third last year to £89m.
The parent company has steadily been disposing of RBI titles across the globe following the appointment of Erik Engstrom as chief executive last year; he replaced Ian Smith who resigned in November after less than a year in the role. In April, Reed Elsevier offloaded dozens of magazines from RBI's US operation.
In January, RBI sold its UK Cosmetics News Weekly title to rival Communications International Group for an undisclosed sum.
These moves followed changes last year at RBI UK. In July, it sold its travel portfolio – including Travel Weekly magazine – to the entrepreneur behind Holiday Autos, Clive Jacobs. And in November it closed the 130 year-old weekly magazine for the UK construction industry, Contract Journal.

Post: #110-02-2010
Multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) is a standard developed by the third generation partnership project (3GPP) and is intended for distribution of multimedia content to mobile devices using broadcasting and multicasting Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services (MBMS) is a broadcasting service offered via existing GSM and UMTS cellular networks.It offers an option to use an uplink channel for interaction between the service and the user. MBMS uses multicast distribution in the core network instead . This system has the advantage that the network infrastructure already exists for mobile network operators and the deployment can be cost effective compared with building a new network for the services. information can be broadcasted simultaneously to many cellular subscribers for example emergency alerts.An unlimited number of users can be reached with constant network load. MBMS has been standardized in various groups of 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project), and the first phase standards are found in UMTS release 6.
Technical details:
The MBMS feature is split into the MBMS Bearer Service and the MBMS User Service. The Bearer Service includes a Multicast- and a Broadcast Mode. The former uses IP multicast addresses for the IP flows.Here, the transmission resources in the core- and radio network are shared and the packet flow is replicated by GGSN, SGSN and RNCs.
-GERAN MBMS offers between 32 kbit/s and 128 kbit/s capacity.
-UTRAN MBMS offers up to 256 kbit/s per MBMS Bearer Service and between 800 kbit/s and 1.7 Mbit/s per cell/band.
User service:
The MBMS User Service mainly consists of the MBMS Service Layer and offers a Streaming method(for continuous transmissions like Mobile TV services) and a Download Delivery Method(for "Download and Play" services). a file-repair service and an an application layer FEC code maybe offered to enhance the download delivery method.
due to spectrum availability and the cost of building new broadcast infrastructure the competing technologies like DVB-H, DMB, EPM-DAB, BCAST and MediaFLO may not be viable. So MBMS is believedto be currently under active evaluation by mobile network operators as a means of delivering mobile television to the mass market.

2016 Wisconsin Triennial Artist Sky Hopinka Selected for the 2017 Whitney Biennial
2016 Wisconsin Triennial Artist Sky Hopinka Selected for the 2017 Whitney Biennial
MADISON, WI—The Whitney Museum of American Art recently announced the artists selected for inclusion in their 2017 Biennial, a leading exhibition of contemporary American art and among the most influential exhibitions globally. Sky Hopinka, a Milwaukee-based artist who has two video works on view as part of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art's 2016 Wisconsin Triennial, was among the 63 artists chosen by the Whitney. The Biennial will feature Hopinka's video titled "Visions of an Island," a new work that captures an Unangam Tunuu elder's poetic narrative of St. Paul Island in the Bering Sea.
"We were excited to include Sky's work in the Wisconsin Triennial and are pleased his art is receiving increased recognition through the Whitney Biennial," stated Stephen Fleischman, MMoCA director. "His work is deserving of an international audience."
The Whitney Biennial is a marker of the state of art in America today, featuring emerging as well as established artists from around the country. This year's exhibition revolves around themes of personal identity, social struggle, and connection to place. As evidenced by Hopinka's videos featured in the 2016 Wisconsin Triennial, his art clearly embodies these ideas.
"The inclusion of my work in the Triennial has been great and it's such an honor to be showing my work in Madison, in Wisconsin, and on traditional Ho-Chunk homelands," stated Sky Hopinka. "To now be a part of the Whitney Biennial is really amazing. Being amongst these artists and filmmakers that I admire so much is truly humbling."
Hopinka is a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and a descendent of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, an identity he weaves into his video work through a dense layering of moving image, text, and sound. Hopinka draws on his interest in indigenous linguistic concepts to explore representations of personal and collective memory, and narratives of tribal history, homeland, and heritage. In one of his videos on display at MMoCA, Jáaji Approx., the artist merges audio recordings of his father recalling stories and singing songs, both new and traditional, with footage of landscapes both men have separately traveled, to create a powerful video that obliquely expresses his connection to his father.
As the Wisconsin Triennial comes to a close in January, the Whitney Biennial opens its doors in March, giving Hopinka continued attention and wider audience. Visitors are encouraged to experience this spellbinding work at MMoCA before the exhibition closes. Hopinka's art offers an intimate and moving exploration of identity and heritage as expressed through the intersection of language, image, and landscape, and is deserving of this major recognition.

In a recent interview on MSNBC with Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wisc), NBC News reporter Andrea Mitchell made a startling statement.
When directly asked by Duffy why members of the mainstream media won't challenge top Democrats for insisting that Washington's political class be exempt from the ObamaCare law they passed for the rest of us, look carefully how Mitchell responded to the question:
[Video of the exchange at this link.]
REP. DUFFY: Andrea, that's ridiculous. I think he said you've been through 18 shutdowns. I don't know if you've seen a President that has come and said I'm not going to negotiate. This is historic, a President says I'm not going to sit at the table. As a guy that's the 10th of 11 kids, families work through problems by talking and communicating, so does the government. You're aware all we've asked for is the President and administration join us in Obamacare, American people in Congress and that individuals and families be treated just like big business. That's what they are holding out for.
MITCHELL: Congressman, you're asking him — that's a nonnegotiable demand. Why not sit down and negotiate over entitlement reform, which is something you all have been demanding and he has offered in his initial budget. You're putting on the table a nonnegotiable demand.
REP DUFFY: Listen, is it nonnegotiable that he's not going to enter Obamacare? I get my gold plated health care plan but I want members of Congress and rest of America to be in Obamacare, that's nonnegotiable? Come on. That's not reasonable. One issue we have, the media won't ask the question about why are you treating families different than big business. You need Jon Stewart on Comedy Central to ask Secretary Sebelius, hey, why won't you treat these two equally and she won't answer it. That's how pathetic news reporting has come when they won't ask tough questions to the administration.
MITCHELL: We've asked questions of both sides. That's not fair.
DUFFY: Do you ask that question, Andrea.
MITCHELL: We have asked the question. The basic point is that —
DUFFY: Why do you want your own … and won't join us in Obama care. That question I haven't seen anybody ask on MSNBC. They don't have a good answer for it. With regard to actually —
MITCHELL: The response Kathleen Sebelius gave to Jon Stewart, if we got what we wanted, a single payer plan, this wouldn't be the problem.
DUFFY: You say I think this is what they would say but you don't know because you haven't asked. That's one of the problems we have here.
How illuminating. Mitchell's take on this is that if Democrats in Washington had 'got what we wanted', which was a 'single payer plan', 'this wouldn't be a problem.'
What wouldn't be a problem? Evidently, Democrats 'having' to exempt themselves from ObamaCare and the mainstream media refusing to ask them about it or make an issue of it.
Who kept Democrats in Washington from getting the single payer plan they wanted? Republicans did. Which means you end up concluding Democrats being 'forced' to exempt the political class in D.C. from the law they passed is the Republican's fault.
Mitchell is claiming the media's bias in not pressing Democrats on this incredibly hypocritical ObamaCare exemption for themselves is *justified* because Republicans kept Democrats from having the wonderful single payer plan they originally had their hearts set upon. So instead we ended up with an incredibly bad law that they exempted themselves from when they figured they could do it with the help of a compliant media.
It is hard to see how we could get a more blatant admission from a supposedly 'neutral' and 'objective' news reporter that many in the mainstream media are biased mouthpieces for the DNC.

What is Breach of Contract?
A contract is an agreement offered by one party and accepted by another. Contracts are almost always written documents in Alabama, but it is not impossible to have an exclusively oral contract. When a contract is not fulfilled by one or more parties, there is a Breach of Contract. Parties occasionally choose not to fulfill their contractual obligations, and sometimes during the course of business, it can be unrealistic to do so. The consequences for a breach of contract are decided by the circumstances. Often, the party at fault will pay the other for the loss caused by the breach.
What If Someone Fails to Honor Their End of the Contract in Arab
A breach of contract in Arab normally entitles the party who fulfilled its end to recover monetary damages from the party that did not. The exact amount of these damage awards, however, is usually a subject of contention in court. Disagreements might be taken to court if they are not resolved privately. When taking the matter before a courts, procedure will usually require you to plead the amount of the damage award you seek in the initial complaint.

Israel's 2015 elections have come and gone – but not without drama. What was projected to be a close race turned out to be a convincing Likud victory. Unless something truly unexpected takes place, Benjamin Netanyahu will remain Israel's prime minister.
So what does it all mean? Many will try to arrive at prophetic truths from these elections, but I tend to equate this task like drawing water from a stone. The fact remains that these elections were fundamentally different in a number of ways from years past. As is always the case, history will be the most telling judge of what 2015 really said about Israel.
First, the election was prompted by Netanyahu in order to function as a referendum on his ability to lead the country. This is unprecedented in Israel's history; not only was the political rhetoric throughout the campaign was centered almost exclusively around Netanyahu, but it pushed the electorate to decide who should be prime minister, rather than who they would like to see represent them in the Knesset. Case in point: the Zionist Union's main slogan was "it's us or him".
This was also the first election following the decision to raise the electoral threshold from 2% to 3.25%. As a result, both small parties and their constituents has a serious decision to make. For the small parties, in particular those that represent the Arab population, it was time to adapt or die. Casting aside (at least temporarily) their disagreements, the Arab parties voted as a Joint List, and became the third largest party in the Knesset (although the statistics show that collectively they did not receive significantly more votes than they did in previously years running part). And for traditional voters of small parties, it was time to decide whether to continue supporting Ale Yarok – the legalization of marijuana party – and countless other political flyweights or cast their ballot for a party with a bit more muscle. How many of those voters decided at the last minute to throw their support for or against Netanyahu?
Finally, this was Israel's first election dominated by social media. It is easy to take this angle for granted, or perhaps it is too easy to over-exaggerate its importance, but I believe it is worthy of note and in five or ten years something that political scientists will focus on. Heck, there is reason to believe that the election came down to an inflammatory video that Netanyahu's campaigners posted on Facebook.
So analyze the raw data with a heavy dose of skepticism. I find the most successful approach is to accept that the election results tell a story of how Israelis felt on March 17, 2015, and ONLY on that day. Had elections been held on a different day, who knows! That is how close this race really was and how fickle the Israeli voter can be.
However, considering that a made a number of points in December when it was first announced that there would be elections (which you can read here in full), I feel compelled to address them once again and hold myself accountable.
Here they are, with commentary on my performance:
1. Operation Protective Edge still looms large. The shadow of last summer's war was prominent during this election campaign: Herzog hoped to use it against Netanyahu and expose government unpreparedness leading up to the operation, while Netanyahu used it as evidence of the Israeli left's continued naïveté and the threats along Israel's borders.
2. What of the Arab-Israelis? The collective effort of the Arab-Israeli parties did ensure their continued presence in the Knesset, but the nationalist rhetoric of the political right, which at times depicted Arabs as a fifth column, was beyond the pale. I can't predict the impact of those statements, however I cannot image they will be forgotten overnight.
3. Don't forget about Avigdor Liberman. I got this one wrong. Avigdor Liberman had a forgettable campaign, Under investigation for corruption, several high ranking members of his party, including agriculture minister and party No.2 Yair Shamir, tourism minister Uzi Landau, public security minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch and Knesset Law, Constitution and Justice Committee chairman David Rotem resigned.
The good news for Liberman? Despite his party's poor showing (6 seats) he may retain his title as Foreign Minister.
4. The odds are against Yair Lapid. I think that my assumptions were more or less on target. Yesh Atid was the darling of the 2013 elections, winning 19 seats. Based on the resurgence of the Labor party and the emergence of another socioeconomic reform party, Moshe Kahlon's Kulanu, I figured that Yesh Atid would not perform as well.
I was right, and I was wrong. While Yesh Atid only mustered 11 seats, it remains a viable actor in the Israeli political scene – something many centrist parties have failed to do. The question going forward is whether Lapid and Herzog can figure out a way to coordinate their efforts in preparation for the next election.
5. Netanyahu is still king. Here is what I wrote in December:
"Until proven otherwise, it should be assumed that Netanyahu is going to remain Israel's prime minister in the coming government. None of his challengers have equal credentials, and each of them will experience extreme difficultly building a coalition. The fact that Netanyahu is pushing for elections should be interpreted as a sign that he wants them to take place – which should worry his rivals. Even with the blunders of the last year, Netanyahu's position on Israeli security remains strong. His economic credentials may be somewhat weaker, but it is difficult to see the economy taking centerstage after the events this summer. If Bibi can dictate the narrative of security as his rivals target one another, he can will maintain his position at the top."
This is exactly what happened. Netanyahu engaged only on security and allowed the Zionist Union, Yesh Atid, and Kulanu to snipe at each other's socioeconomic agendas. When it appeared as if this strategy may not be enough, he played to the deepest fears of the Israeli public, drawing votes away from Naftali Bennett's Jewish Home party (perhaps one of the election's disappointments) in order to seize enough momentum to win.
All told, I would give myself a 3.75 out of 5.
Three other points of note before I hang up my election analyst cap:
1. Israel's media needs to seek balance. It was a polarizing election, to say the least. But the Israeli media's critique of Netanyahu has reached a point than many publications can no longer be expected to deliver fair coverage of the prime minister and his decision. The existence of Israel HaYom, a pro-Netanyahu daily that is distributed without charge all over the country, has only made the situation worse. Yes, newspapers should be able to print material as they see fit, but I shouldn't be the only person concerned that the media is contributing to the polarization in Israeli society.
2. Campaign financing reform must take place. Whether it be Sheldon Adelson's support for Netanyahu, or the arrival of the single-minded V15 group, there is altogether too much foreign investment in Israeli politics. I am not certain what the solution to this problem is, however this was the first time that it felt like the two largest parties were not only being supported by outside actors but were criticized each other for playing the same game.
3. The Zionist Union only has itself to blame. With four days before the elections, some polls projected the Zionist Union receiving 24 or 25 seats. Those prognostications were accurate. What wasn't foreseen was Netanyahu's furious comeback in those final days.
So should the Zionist Union feel satisfied or defeated? The answer is probably somewhere in between, though I assume it will hurt for many months to come.
I believe that there were a number of things that the Zionist Union could have done differently that may have changed the outcome on March 17.
First, Herzog should never have agreed to rotate the prime minister's chair with Tzipi Livni. The merger between their parties was strategically questionable, as many Israel's are critical of Livni, and the timing of the merger could have taken place later in the race, but no serious contender to Netanyahu should be willing to share power. In Israel it will only be interpreted as a sign of weakness. To make matters worse, when Herzog and Livni realized they may actually win the election they reversed their decision, making them appear indecisive.
Second, Herzog should have been a more assertive presence. Why was it former Mossad chief who addressed the rally in Rabin Square on March 7. Why wasn't Herzog there? While security officials bring a certain amount of credibility to the table, Dagan was not running for political office. Herzog was. He needed to make the election about him, not about someone else.
Lastly, Herzog needed to want it more. This may mean that his future success will be dependent on his ability to stoop to Netanyahu's level and play dirty, undoubtably sullying his public image. But what Netanyahu has proven time and again is that he is committed to winning at all costs. If his contenders don't share the same bottom line they have little chance of defeating him.

Time lapse is a technique in photography in which you take a serious of continuous photographs to show an accelerated view of an otherwise slow process. This technique can be used to show a flower blooming, clouds shifting, movement around a city, or any other process in which you would like to see in faster motion. The technique of time-lapse has been used in photography and film for a wide variety of uses, but I personally like to use it to create humor in an otherwise unexciting situation.
I came home a recent Sunday afternoon to find my neighbor about to build a large trampoline for his sons. Immediately I told him to stop so that I could set up my camera for a time-lapse video showing the construction of the trampoline. He did not quite know what I had in mind but he luckily went along with it.
To put together a time-lapse video, I recommend a camera that has the capability to take continuous shots on a set interval, a tripod, and film editing software to compile the photos (I used iMovie). The trick with time-lapse is knowing how long you want the end product to be as well as knowing how long the task takes. This way you can best estimate at what second interval to take the shots. To build the trampoline, I had assumed it would take my neighbor no more than two hours so I set the camera to take a photo every 6 seconds. From previous experience, I knew I would most likely set each picture to play in the video for only 0.1s. Therefore, the video would be at max 2 minutes. I prefer to keep these time lapse videos under 2 minutes to keep the attention of the viewer. Another key point is music/sound. Since you obviously are not recording sound when you take a photograph, the music or sound clips you use completely creates the mood and help retains view attention. Sound can completely make or break the film.
Unfortunately, my guess of two hours was off and after a lot of frustration and probably some embarrassment, my neighbor asked me to stop the camera. I took the photographs I had and decided to best recreate what had happened that long Sunday afternoon hoping that he would at least get a laugh out of it.
About 50% of the photographs I took (mostly at the end) were cut because they did not show much action and again, I do not want to lose the attention of the viewer. I decided to put in title pages so that viewers could follow along with what happened and also for a few laughs.
In the end, I was pleased with the product and know I set out what I wanted to accomplish when my neighbor called me laughing hysterically after he viewed it. I could even hear his sons laughing in the background on the other end of the line as they watched it which I considered bonus points. I decided to make this time-lapse film a tribute to all parents who have spent their weekends building contraptions for their children. I am sure there are many frustrated parents who built swing sets, dressers, bookshelves, playhouses, you name it, wishing these things came already assembled. So for all you annoyed parents out there who would much rather do something else on your weekend afternoons than build random apparatuses for your kids, this one is for you. Enjoy.

At Human and Hope Association, we focus on the outcomes, not just the outputs. That means we won't educate 500 people just so our statistics look good. We treat every villager uniquely and understand that every situation is unique. Below is just a handful of some of our success stories.
Vichet* is five years old. He used to spend his days being watched over by his eleven-year-old brother while his Mother, Father and older siblings would go to the forest to collect vegetables to sell. He started studying in the Preschool Program at Human and Hope Association, and the very shy, neglected boy started to thrive. He now knows the Khmer alphabet, can draw pictures, knows how to brush his teeth and has gained a lot of confidence. We enrolled him in public school in 2015 and he continues to study Khmer and English with us. His older brother and sister also study at HHA nowadays, too, and bring him on the 8km round journey each day. When he grows up, Vichet wants to be a policeman.

*Sopheak is thirteen years old. He and his eight-year-old sister, *Srey, had never been to school. Our Education Manager noticed them on the street one day and enrolled Sopheak and Srey in our English program. Identifying that they will not have a good future unless they learn Khmer, we started daily Khmer classes for Sopheak and Srey, and four other village children who have never been to school. They were enrolled in Public School in November 2014 along with their younger brother. Sopheak came first in his class at public school and was able to skip a grade, and Srey and her younger brother came in the top ten! For three children who had never studied before, they are certainly naturals! These siblings continue to study at Human and Hope Association.

Phalla dropped out of public school when she was 14 years old due to the death of her sister and the illness of her mother. She began working at a restaurant, earning just $50USD each month for six days of work per week. In 2013 she was approached to study sewing at Human and Hope Association.
After finishing the first semester, Phalla was chosen to be a sewing assistant and was trained by our sewing teacher, Seyla. When we expanded the sewing program she studied further and graduated in 2014. Phalla was promoted to be a sewing teacher in 2015, and with weekly development workshops and a scholarship to study English, she has grown immeasurably.
Now at 21 years of age, Phalla now works in the mornings at HHA, helping others to break free of the poverty cycle, and makes clothes for her neighbours in the afternoons.

Following the opening at our Berlin gallery on the occasion of the Gallery Weekend Berlin 2015, we are pleased to announce Per Inge Bjørlo's first exhibition with Gerhardsen Gerner at the Oslo gallery!
In the mid 1980s a series of genre-transcending presentations established Per Inge Bjørlo in the international arena, eventually including his participation in biennials in Sao Paulo and Venice. Bjørlo's output spans graphic art, sculpture, drawing, and painting in favour of a 'total artwork'. His series of works entitled Inner Spaces involves and envelops the public, in the sense that one could actually enter into the artwork. In many ways Per Inge Bjørlo introduced installation art to Norway's institutions. Today, some of them can only be experienced through documentary material, while others are accessible in institutions and museums.
In Bjørlo's art, inner as well as exterior space are emphasised. Psychological states and emotions find their form through an expressive artistic idiom. His art works function like mental condensations; highly personal stories with many layers of meaning and recollections. The dramatic installations reflect the dark gravity in the artist's work, and succeed in creating a concentrated tension.
At Gerhardsen Gerner Oslo, Per Inge Bjørlo presents new sculptures in aluminium and rubber, a material that would mark the beginning of the artist's consistent exploration of medium and materials.
Per Inge Bjørlo has been most active in the Scandinavian countries, where museums and institutions like Louisiana Art Museum in Denmark, the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo, along with the National Museum of Contemporary Art and the Astrup Fearnley Museum, both located in Oslo, have discovered the importance of his oeuvre within the nordic art scene and supported his artistic production. With this show Gerhardsen Gerner aims to reestablish this important Norwegian artist on the international art landscape.

You should always try and be a responsible person because this will benefit you in a lot of ways in life. When you are a responsible person more people will trust you and more people will feel like they can depend on you. If you want to be a responsible person you must make sure that you think before you act because when you do this you will actually be making informed decisions instead of decisions just based on pure emotion. When you are a responsible person you will have your priorities in order and you will be more organized.
You will stay out of trouble
When you are a responsible person you will find it easier to stay out of trouble because you will do the right things more often than not. A responsible person will go to good driving school before taking a car on the road. Here they will not only learn this skill but they will also learn the rules that need to be followed.
The driving instructor Werribee must make sure that their students feel confident after they have been taught. Students should be given tips and hints that will help them be successful while they are actually on the road.
You will have to stand by the choices that you make
If you want to be a responsible person then you must stand by the choices that you make. This is an easy thing to do when you make the right choices because then you will receive all the credit however when people make the wrong choices they tend to put the blame onto someone else. This is a very wrong and irresponsible thing to do. You must make sure that you own up to the mistake that you make instead of saying that someone else made it because you will be causing problems in someone else's life for no reason and also you will not learn from your mistake because you would have not owned up to it so you will most likely repeat the same mistake in the future. So by blaming someone else for the wrong choices that you make you will be hurting yourself and other people at the same time.
You have to keep your word
If you want to be a responsible person then you must make sure that you keep your promises. If you fail to keep your promises people will not be able to trust you. Make sure that you never make promises that you know that you can't keep if you want to avoid this problem.
