Just some rules before we start:
-First round is acceptance only.
-No shenanigans or ad hominem attacks.
-Have fun.
Thank you!
Before I start, let me clear some things up:
-If anyone doesn't know, a contention is another word for point or assertion, I will be using this word in my speeches. Also, c means contention as well (like if I say C1 it means Contention 1.
-Also, a criterion (also called standard) is something which the judge chooses who wins the debate by, it is part of framework. For example, if the criterion is health (and both sides accept this criterion), then all arguments that don't involve health are invalid, because the judge, or in this case the voters, are only focusing on health.
-Lastly, if, at any time, I say "we", "our", or similar words in my speech, it means my team, which in this case is just myself (sorry, used to typing out cases for a team of multiple people).
Ok, let's get into it! I'm going to start with my criterion.
The criterion of this debate is lives. Of course, all species" lives matter, but humans are paramount. Even still, we will prove how animal testing benefits all species, not just humans.
Now here are my contentions.
C1: Animal testing contributes to cures and treatments that save lives.
The majority of the medical breakthroughs that have happened in the last 100 years were direct results from animal research and experimentation, according to the California Biomedical Research Association. Without this testing, both human and animal lives would be lost in numbers far greater than the amount of animals tested. For example, The Anderson Cancer Center animal research associated the vaccine for Hepatitis B with chimpanzee testing. Without these experimentations, thousands, if not millions, of those with Hepatitis B would have been killed every year. The same cancer center also said that animal testing is our only hope for a vaccine to Hepatitis C, proving that animal testing is our best option that we have currently as well as in the future.
So we just proved that humans benefit from animal testing, but we can go a step further and say that animals also benefit from testing. If vaccines were not tested on animals, millions of animals would have died from rabies, distemper, feline leukemia, infectious hepatitis virus, tetanus, anthrax, and canine parvovirus. Some examples of species being saved are the black-footed ferret and the California condor, in both of which animal testing was instrumental.
(American Association for Laboratory Animal Science)
The truth is, animal testing benefits everyone. Even if there is a small amount of suffering, the lives of humans as well as all other animal species being saved completely outweighs it, which is why even the The American Veterinary Medical Association, complete with over 86,000 vets, many of which work for the government, announced that they endorse animal testing.
C2: Animal testing is the necessary method of testing.
Now, in our previous contention we talked about how animal testing saves lives, but you may be thinking "that might be true, but there are other methods". In reality, however, animal testing is the best, most efficient, and thus needed method of testing.
There is no adequate alternative to testing on an animal. Living systems like human beings and animals are extremely complex. Many tested on animals are also very closely related to humans, which makes them even better subjects. For example, chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA with humans, and mice are 98% genetically similar to humans.
(California Biomedical Research Association)
This shows that animals are the best method of testing, and they help us more so than any other way.
That's it for my first speech. I now welcome my opponent to present theirs.
I'd like to thank my opponent for presenting their case for animal testing. Here are my three contentions.
A. Animal testing is harmful to the subjects
B. Animals are very different from humans
C. Drugs tested on animals aren't always safe
Let's get started!
A. Animal testing is harmful to the subjects
Regardless of whether or not animal testing is effective, there is no denying that the animals involved are mistreated. How so? Well, it's estimated that more than 100 million animals are killed for testing purposes. [1] Also, many are subjected to the following methods.
On top of this, I'd the animals don't die of their injuries, most of the time they'll be euthanized. [3]
Many would claim that animals don't feel emotion or pain like people do, so it doesn't matter that the death toll due to animal testing is so high. That isn't exactly true either. But there is one difference between humans and animals: While most humans can communicate through words, animals are unable to do this.
"The nature of pain is perhaps even more complex in animals. How pain is sensed and the physical processes behind this are remarkably similar and well conserved across mammals and humans. There are also many similarities in pain behaviours across the species, for example they may stop socialising with people and/or other animals, they may eat less, they may vocalise more and their heart rate may rise. The capacity of animals to suffer as sentient creatures is well established and enshrined in law in many countries, however we don't understand well how they actually experience pain." [4]
They experience pain, we know that, but they can't communicate the exact same way we can. In that way, animals can't consent to the experiments while people can. We can't be sure that the animals in question are willing to the experimentation.
B. Animals are very different from humans
Another common argument I see for animal testing is that animals are similar to people, so animals must be ideal test subjects. This is only somewhat true. Humans have some similarities to animals, yes, but it's the differences between humans and animals that can be problematic on both parties.
In fact, even the species that most consider to be the closest to humans have major differences, making animal testing even more dangerous.
"Even animals with greater similarity to humans, such as primates, have failed to predict what happens in humans. For example, monkeys treated with a therapeutic antibody (anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody TGN1412) did not predict the potentially fatal immune response that was triggered in humans. The scientific community has also recently concluded that research on chimpanzees, our closest genetic relative, is unnecessary and is being phased out." [5]
There are many factors for this. I'll use the chimpanzee for an example to compare to people. People and chimpanzees have different stance, strength, genes, etc. [6] On top of that, we have varying levels/different kinds of parasites and pathogens than chimps. [7]
In other words, differences between just a human and a chimpanzee can prove to be very troublesome to work with. Imagine what can happen when we take rats, mice, birds, fish, frogs, etc. into consideration. The differences between a mouse and a human can go on and on. Because of the major variations, can we really consider other species to be reliable subjects?
C. Drugs tested on animals aren't always safe
This contention picks up from my last. Because of how unreliable animal test subjects are, they can provide innacurate results.
For example, in the 1950s, there was a sleeping pill called thalidomide that was tested on animals prior to it's official commercial release. Little did they know that it would cause 10,000 babies to be born with severe deformities. [8] Later on, the sleeping pill was tested on pregnant animals (cats, mice, rats, etc.) and they didn't experience any birth defects unless it was given in dangerously high doses. [9]
Here's another example to hammer in my point.
"Animal tests on the arthritis drug Vioxx showed that it had a protective effect on the hearts of mice, yet the drug went on to cause more than 27,000 heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths before being pulled from the market." [10]
This can prove to be harmful to people, as unreliable results can seriously harm or kill people like in the examples above.
In conclusion, animal testing harms animals, is ineffective, and can kill or harm people because of unreliable results. Thank you. I look forward to my opponent's rebuttals. So long and goodnight!
In my opponent's Contention A, they state that animals are heavily mistreated while being tested on, and explain how animals are capable of feeling pain - before I refute that, I would just like to mention that their source for "more than 100 million animals are killed for testing purposes" is PETA. Keep in mind that PETA is a completely extremist group. It is pretty well known, but just in case one of you may not know I will give an example of their extremism, having to do with dogs and cats. PETA says that they are committed to a future in which people would not be able to own pets, claiming on their website "the selfish desire to possess animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering". Their wish includes a future in such our dogs and cats would be completely neutered into extinction. Furthermore, they make the claim that cats should be on a vegetarian diet to be healthy, even though it is very common knowledge that cats are natural carnivores, relying on diets filled with protein. Hopefully you can now understand the unreliability of PETA as a source. Enough of that, now here is my refutation:
Now while I agree that yes, science shows that animals feel pain, the pain is not nearly as common as people think. Animal research is actually very highly regulated, with many laws to protect animals. In addition to local and state laws and guidelines, animal research has been regulated by the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) since 1966. As well as stipulating minimum housing standards for research animals (enclosure size, temperature, access to clean food and water, and others), the AWA also requires regular inspections by veterinarians.
(Animal Welfare Act, Title 7 - Agriculture)
These are just a couple examples of how the research facilities are actually much more humane than people think. Even so, this is an extremely small price to pay for huge medical advancements. When you think about it, a much bigger problem is using animals for food. U.S. statistics show that we consume much more than we use in testing. For example, with pigs, we eat more than 1,800 times the number used in research. If you want to avoid animal death and harm, animal testing is not the culprit.
In my opponent's Contention B, they state the differences between humans and the animals that are tested on - to refute that, I ask to cross-apply my C2. I would specifically like to talk about chimpanzees. My opponent states that chimpanzees are different in many ways, and they bring up a few examples, but if you look into my evidence, derived from the California Biomedical Research Association, it shows that "chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA with humans". Let me give an analogy to explain what my point is. Let's say my friend has $100 billion, and I have 99% of what he has ($99 billion). While the $1 billion gap between us may seem large, I still have nearly the same amount of money as him. Now look at chimps. While the many differences my opponent shares may seem like a very large amount, chimps are still 99% similar to us, which means they are nearly completely the same as us. Hopefully this gives you all some insight on how similar the testing subjects are to us. Even still, non-human primates (such as chimps) make up a quarter of 1% of all testing done on animals, which is an extremely small amount.
I would also like to point out that my opponent gives no other methods besides animal testing. Are you saying that we are just going to let these millions of people and other animals die, instead of saving them for a very, very small cost in comparison?
In my opponent's Contention C, they further explain the unreliability of the results in animal tested products, and gives two examples, which I will refute in order:
-First is Thalidomide, which caused birth defects in humans, yet not in animals. I would like to look at the time in which this drug was tested on and given out in - the 1950s! More than 60 years ago! This is a completely unreliable example, because since the '50s there have been more medical advancements than we can count - testing back then was unreliable in general, and that is completely outdated in current times.
-Second is Vioxx, which had good effects on mice, yet bad effects on humans. Again, Vioxx was distributed in the late '90s, and soon withdrawn. If something has a problem, we make sure it isn't being used before any real damage can be done (ie. millions dead). This is yet another outdated example of unreliability.
-Lastly, to refute both of these, is the numbers. In Thalidomide and Vioxx, they only harm a small amount of humans: 10,000 and 27,000 respectively. However, if you compare that to the number of people (as well as animals) saved by animal testing, it comes out to much, much more. For example, according to the American Cancer Society, the fight against cancer has seen 24 significant biomedical advances in the past 30 years - none of them could have occurred without animal research. These advances are helping us in the cure for cancer, which is the second largest factor for unnatural death in the United States after heart disease. This is just a single example of the many contributions to society done by animal testing.
That is all for my refutations. I wish my opponent good luck in refuting and defending!
Rebuttal of C1: Animal testing contributes to cures and treatments that save lives.
In this contention, my opponent claims that many medical breakthroughs have happened because of animal testing and that without this, many lives would've been lost. This is provided by no source. In fact, none of my opponent's debate provides a source of any kind, except for the California Biomedical Research Association, but there is no specific citation given.
To continue, he gives an example about Hepatitis B and how testing on chimps proved to provide an effective vaccine. Again, like I said before, no sources are provided and after even more research, this theory doesn't hold up. In fact, the vaccine was tested on blood samples from gay men who were at a risk of HPV to make sure the vaccine was effective. [1] Thankfully, it was, but it wasn't because of animal testing.
My opponent then says that animal testing can help animals too. He says that I'd vaccines weren't tested on animals, they would've died from rabies, distemper, feline leukaemia, etc. But this is only a small percentage of animals among those that are killed. And like I said in my opening statements, most animals are euthanized after the experiments. [2] This eliminates the animals that may have been saved from the vaccines.
My opponent then claims that the black-footed ferret and the California condor were saved by animal testing, but again, no proof of this is given. Fortunately, I have no one findings. Unfortunately, my opponent is proven wrong once again. The black-footed ferret and the California condors were saved by breeding programs and specific recovery plans [3,4] Plus, my opponent fails to explain what conservation has to do with animal testing.
Rebuttal of C2: Animal testing is the necessary method of testing.
In this argument, my opponent mainly explains that there are no adequate alternative methods of testing. Before I go into the various, more effective alternatives to animal testing, I like to point out that my opponent never shows any examples of alternatives. He never shows their weaknesses and why animal testing is superior.
With that said, here's why animal testing is inferior to many other variants.
First alternative: In vitro
In vitro - (of a biological process) made to occur in a laboratory vessel or other controlled experimental environment rather than within a living organism or natural setting. [5]
Anyways, with in vitro, human cells can be used instead of animal cells, which, in turn, gives more accurate results, [6] as a person is drastically different from an animal, like I said in my opening statements.
Second alternative: Microdosing
"A more recent development, microdosing, puts experimental studies back into the bodies of human volunteers. It uses drug doses too small to create either a pharmacological effect or an adverse reaction and has been made possible by analytical methods that can detect substances in blood and plasma at concentrations in the pg/ml range." [7]
In other words, this can be used on people.
"Microdosing, the administering of doses too small to cause adverse reactions, can be used in human volunteers, whose blood is then analyzed. Artificial human skin, such as the commercially available products EpiDerm and ThinCert, is made from sheets of human skin cells grown in test tubes or plastic wells and can produce more useful results than testing chemicals on animal skin." [8]
With both of these alternatives, we can decrease the suffering from unwilling animal subjects and use human volunteers instead, all while getting more accurate results.
Thank you. Best of good luck. So long and goodnight!
-California Biomedical Research Association (contention 1 paragraph 1, contention 2 paragraph 2)
-Anderson Cancer Center (contention 1 paragraph 1)
-American Association for Laboratory Science (contention 1 paragraph 2)
-American Veterinary Medical Association (contention 1 paragraph 3)
Now that the whole source thing is over, let me go on to defend my case and refute my opponent's.
Starting with their rebuttal of my contention 1. They start by saying that I have no source, which I already proved untrue. My source for the hepatitis treatment argument was the Anderson Cancer Center, and if you actually read that paragraph, you will clearly see this. Now, the funny thing is, my opponent continues to prove my claim false by saying that the vaccine was tested on gay men. So what source do they have? A blog written in 2012. Even worse, the author has no credentials listed whatsoever, meaning they are not reliable at all.
My opponent goes on to say that that the black-footed ferret and the California condor were not saved by testing, but rather breeding programs and recovery plans. First of all, their condor source mentions how they use " breeding facilities". However, this is testing. The test is to see if these animals will survive with breeding. The experimentation is the forced breeding in captivity - so yes, the condor was saved by experiments. Second of all, if you look in their source of the ferret, from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, they say the black-footed ferrets are being saved by "developing assisted breeding, especially artificial insemination". This is yet another form of testing, it's experimentation! Both of my opponent's sources prove my opponent wrong.
Moving on to their rebuttal of my contention 2. My opponent brings up multiple examples of alternatives. First is "in vitro", which is basically the use of fake models that are studied upon, yet again, this is still animal testing! They need animals to be tested upon to get the models that are studied. Even the source my opponent uses says that "in vitro" is an "alternative technique in basic research and toxicology". Keep in mind the source says basic research and toxicology. This is just because "in vitro" is a more advanced method of animal testing. The second alternative my opponent brings up is micro dosing, however even my opponent's source says that this isn't a completely reliable method, and animal testing is still needed: "microdosing... could reduce the need for animals but not eliminate it". So while microdosing may take away a little animal testing, it isn't a complete alternative.
This is my last round, so I will conclude on why I should be the winner of this debate. I have proven why animal testing is extremely beneficial and necessary in contention 1 and 2 respectively, and all of their refutations to these points have been completely taken care of by me. I have used much better sources than my opponent, even though they claim the opposite. All of my sources have been from official government organizations, medical research organizations, and official centers built to deal with disease. I have clearly shown these sources in an organized manner - if you actually read through my case, you will see all of them. I have organized my speeches to be easy to follow. Both of us have had equally good conduct.
I hope all of you enjoyed this debate, and I welcome my opponent to present their last speech, in which they will defend against refutations made by me and summarize why they should win. Good luck!
Defense of Contention A.
My opponent first points out that I used the source PETA to project how many animals are killed each year through animal testing. Well, my opponent fails to realize that many other sources agree that about the estimated number of animals killed through animal testing. (It's projected to be over 100 million.) These sources include Cruelty Free International, [1] Speaking of Research, [2] Humane Society International, [3] And Statistic Brain, [4], among others.
My opponent then claims that animal research is highly regulated. Well, the amount of pain they go through says otherwise.
"In research and testing, animals are subjected to experiments that can include everything from testing new drugs to infecting with diseases, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming, blinding, and other painful and invasive procedures. It can include protocols that cause severe suffering, such as long-term social isolation, electric shocks, withholding of food and water, or repeated breeding and separating of infants from mothers. In toxicity testing, animals used in chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies receive the test substance daily, seven days a week, for up to two years with no recovery periods. Many, if not most, animals die before the end of the study. With the exception of chimpanzees, animals who survive their use in research and testing can be killed after the study is completed." [5]
Note how it said that food and water can be withheld from the animals, which goes against a claim my opponent made. While it may appear to be well regulated from the Animal Welfare Act, actions speak louder than words.
My opponent brings about the meat industry and how many lives it takes. This is one part I partially agree with. Yes, while the meat industry takes more lives than animal testing does, this doesn't excuse the deaths attributed to animal research. The death toll is still outrageously high whether you're comparing them to the meat industry or not.
Defense of Contention B.
In this argument, my opponent states that chimps make the best test subjects in animal research because we share 99% of DNA with them. Besides the fact that it's actually 98%, my opponent fails to take into account little differences.
"First of all, remember that we are talking about 6 billion letters of DNA here. The original 2% actually adds up to 12 million differences. Add on top of that another 28 million worth of missing and extra DNA and you start to get some serious differences even if it is only 5%!...Apparently a big part of what makes us different are differences in how we use these genes. Numerous studies have shown the same genes behave differently in chimps and humans. This means that a gene might, for example, be less active in humans or active at a different time or different location in the body." [6]
Little differences like these can prove to be detrimental. Unless we have an exact equivalent or just a human step in, then we won't get the exact same results as we would with the other alternate subjects.
My opponent claims that the examples I have were irrelevant, as they were over 60 years ago and about 20 years again respectively. When you research it, these are just small projections of animal research done today.
"In fact, studies show that if you flipped a coin to guess how a human will respond to a certain drug, your prediction would actually be as accurate as if you tested the drug on a nonhuman animal. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the pharmaceutical industry all acknowledge this. The FDA reports that 92 percent of drugs approved for testing in humans fail to receive approval for human use. This failure rate has increased from 86 percent in 1985, in spite of all the "advances and refinements" intended to make animal tests more accurate. In addition, more than half of the few drugs approved are later withdrawn or relabeled due to serious or lethal adverse effects in humans." [7]
My opponent then measures in the number of deaths from Thalidomide and Vioxx to cancer. First of all, this is an unfair comparison, as cancer has taken lives for thousands of years, while the medications I showed only had a short life on store shelves. Second, the number of deaths caused by animal testing far outweighs the deaths to cancer. I've already clarified that 100 million animals die from animal testing ever year, while 7.6 million die of cancer every year. [8] That doesn't mean that cancer isn't valid or that it isn't as important as animal testing, but you should be aware how much the rates of death to cancer are dwarfed by animal research.
And here's why I should win the debate: for one, my opponent never gives specific citations to these sources, while I did. He could've easily just said it was research from, say, the American Cancer Society, when it could've been from a different source or there could be contradictions made in the articles that we'll never see, while I provided by sources so that every could see them. Secondly, I was able to defend against every one of my opponent's rebuttals. Thirdly, I've pointed out the inaccuracies in my opponent's information in both my rebuttals and my defense against his rebuttals.
Thank you. Best of luck. So long and goodnight!

Each year, a consortium of seven universities in Beijing, organized by Beihang University, invites one or two cognitive linguists to give a series of ten lectures for a week as part of the China International Forum on Cognitive Linguistics. Alan Cienki was invited in 2013, and now the lectures have been published in written and spoken form, as a book with online audio recordings, by Brill as part of their new series "Distinguished Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics". More information about the book can be viewed on the website of Brill Publishers.
Ten Lectures on Spoken Language and Gesture from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics
Issues of Dynamicity and Multimodality by Alan Cienki, Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Cognitive linguistics is purported to be a usage-based approach, yet only recently has research in some of its subfields turned to spontaneous spoken (versus written) language data. The collection of Alan Cienki's Ten Lectures on Spoken Language and Gesture from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics considers what it means to apply different approaches from within this field to the dynamic, multimodal combination of speech and gesture.
The lectures encompass such main paradigms as blending and mental space theory, conceptual metaphor and metonymy, construction and cognitive grammars, image schemas, and mental simulation in relation to semantics. Overall, Alan Cienki shows that taking the usage-based commitment seriously with audio-visual data raises new issues and questions for theoretical models in cognitive linguistics.
Undergraduates, post-graduate students and others with some basic knowledge of cognitive linguistics who want to expand it through consideration of spoken language as data, including the role of speakers' gestures.

Scrape Wingtip on Landing
AllCanada Express Limited
Boeing 727-260 C-FACM
Hamilton, Ontario
18 March 1998
The cargo laden Boeing 727-260 aircraft, serial number 22759, departed from Vancouver, British Columbia at 1924 Pacific standard time, 17 March 1998, on a flight to Montreal, Quebec, with stops at Calgary, Alberta, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Hamilton Ontario. The aircraft was operated as Canex flight 501 (CNX 501) and had three crew on board. At 0410 eastern standard time (EST)(1), 18 March 1998, the aircraft landed firmly on runway one two left (12L) at Hamilton, following an instrument landing system (ILS) approach. The crew performed the after landing checks and taxied the aircraft to the ramp without further incident.
Damage to the outboard underside section of the aircraft left wing was discovered during a ramp walkaround inspection of the aircraft. The left wing had scraped the runway surface on touchdown damaging the leading and trailing edge flaps.
The accident occurred during night hours at an elevation of 760 feet above sea level in instrument meteorological flight conditions.
Ce rapport est également disponible en français.
Other Factual Information
The flight across the country was uneventful and operated on schedule with the first officer at the controls for the flight from Winnipeg to Hamilton.
Surface weather observations for Hamilton airport were not taken while the aircraft was en route, however, the flight crew monitored the Toronto and London observations and planned for reduced visibility in fog for their approach at Hamilton. When in communication with the Hamilton Control Tower at 0404, they were advised that the runway visual range (RVR) for runway 12L was 5 500 feet with the runway lights set at strength five, and the tower visibility was three quarters of a statute mile in light snow grains and fog. The aircraft was radar vectored for a straight-in ILS approach, runway 12L, and intercepted the localizer thirteen miles back from the runway. The first officer disengaged the autopilot after intercepting the localizer and hand-flew the aircraft using the aircraft flight director system for guidance throughout the approach. The aircraft was configured for landing with the trailing edge flaps extended
30 degrees and the landing gear extended when it crossed over the ILS outer marker, 3.7 nautical miles from the end of the runway. Landing clearance was issued at 0408, at which time the RVR was reported at 5 000 feet with the runway lights at strength five, and tower visibility was three quarters of a statute mile. The wind was from 070 degrees magnetic at 10 to 15 knots.
Data from the aircraft flight data recorder (FDR) indicate that during the final descent, airspeed was maintained between 136 and 146 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS). The rate of descent averaged 700 feet per minute with slight engine power adjustments. The aircraft was crabbed left, generally three to four degrees, with minor heading variations noted during the descent. Approximately 12 seconds prior to touchdown, the aircraft engine power was reduced to flight idle through approximately 50 to 60 feet above ground level (agl). On short final, several minor track corrections were made, as indicated by heading and roll data . The aircraft subsequently rolled from right to left through wings level passing through the runway heading of 118 degrees magnetic, just prior to touchdown. The roll rate increased through wings level, as the aircraft continued to roll left. The aircraft touched down firmly with a vertical deceleration of approximately 1.5g at 126 KIAS. At touchdown, the aircraft was banked left 11.5 degrees, possibly slightly higher due to sample rate, and the heading was decreasing through 116 degrees magnetic. The wings were immediately levelled and the nose landing gear lowered onto the runway. Following nose landing gear touchdown, the heading was re-aligned with the runway track, and reversers were deployed.
The aircraft cockpit voice recorder (CVR) was not functioning during the occurrence flight. Information recorded on the tape was determined to be from eight weeks prior to the occurrence. CVR system serviceability can be checked by the flight crew from the cockpit by pressing a test button and monitoring a needle deflection on the system test meter. The flight crew reported that they had carried out this CVR test and the system indicated it was serviceable. There have been instances where spurious meter deflections have led to false indications of a serviceable CVR system. The CVR manufacturer had issued a service bulletin outlining a modification to prevent false system serviceability indications from the test meter. The occurrence CVR did not incorporate the modification.
The aircraft flight crew reported that at 250 agl, the captain, the pilot-not-flying, called "approach lights in sight" and the approach continued. At 200 feet agl, the captain had the approach and runway end lights in sight and called "decision", meaning the aircraft had descended to decision height (DH)(2). The first officer looked up and saw the approach and runway lights and called "runway in sight, landing". The aircraft was aligned with the runway centre line on the glide path and localizer at that time. At 150 feet agl, the captain observed the aircraft above the glide slope on the glide slope indicator and remarked to the first officer "you're getting high". The first officer acknowledged. At 100 feet agl the second officer began to call out the aircraft altitude from the radar altimeter. He called "100" and, at about that time, the first officer reported encountering some turbulence and the aircraft began to drift to the right of the runway centre line. The second officer called "50" and then "30" but, at 30 feet, noted that the aircraft stopped descending. At about this time the captain observed that the aircraft was right of centre line not descending, and he called "I have control", took control of the aircraft, and applied hard left rudder to bring the aircraft back to the centre of the runway. The aircraft landed firmly slightly right of runway centre line. The landing roll was normal with the use of reverse engine thrust.
Runway 12L is an asphalt surface, 8 000 feet long by 200 feet wide, and was bare and wet at the time of the occurrence. Approach lights for the runway were category 1, centre row, high intensity, with runway identification and threshold lights. The runway edge lights were high intensity and there was a 2-bar visual approach slope indicator system (VASIS). All runway lighting was set at maximum strength for the approach.
The visibility was deteriorating during the early morning hours at Hamilton. The first weather observation recorded by the Hamilton weather office at 0600 reported one quarter statute mile in light rain and fog. The visibility remained at one quarter mile throughout the morning with one observation reporting one eighth of a mile.
Wind conditions, reported by control tower personnel at the time of landing, indicate that a crosswind component of 07 to 11 knots existed. The company operations manual for Boeing 727 type aircraft states that maximum demonstrated crosswind for takeoff or landing, not limiting, is 29 knots.
The flight crew was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations.
The aircraft weight and centre of gravity were within prescribed limits. The calculated landing weight of the aircraft was 133 000 pounds or 60 382 kilograms.
The following TSB Engineering Branch Report was completed:
- LP24/98 FDR/CVR Analysis.
Data from the FDR and reports from the crew show a normal approach and normal handling of the aircraft until it descended to about 150 feet agl and was approaching over the end of the runway. At that point the first officer's attention was diverted to controlling the aircraft as it encountered some turbulence and possibly a wind shift close to the ground. He allowed the aircraft to drift to the right of the runway centre line, and it appears that he may have started to flare the aircraft early, stopping the descent at about 30 feet agl. The captain at this point, with the engine power at idle and the aircraft close to the ground, felt they were committed to a landing but was concerned that the aircraft had stopped descending and was right of centre line. Because fog was reducing his visibility along the runway, he was not able to determine how far the aircraft had travelled down the runway and, therefore, wanted to get the aircraft on the runway as quickly as possible. He took over control of the aircraft and applied hard left rudder input to bring the aircraft back to the runway centre line. The left rudder input caused the aircraft to roll left sufficiently for the left wing to contact the runway surface on touch down. The pilot-flying transitioned to visual flight when the aircraft was at decision height, 200 feet agl, and approaching the high intensity runway approach lights. The captain estimated the forward visibility to be about 4 000 feet at that time. Once the aircraft passed beyond the approach lights, it is likely that forward visibility was more restricted, but it could not be determined to what extent. The first weather observations reported a visibility of one quarter mile and remained at that throughout the morning with one observation reporting one eighth of a mile. In conditions of reduced visibility, it is desirable to have the aircraft set for landing and only be required to flare to land before passing beyond the high intensity approach lights. In this instance, several control inputs were required to position the aircraft, and a transfer of control between the flight crew members took place after the aircraft passed beyond the approach lights, likely in reduced forward visibility.
- The flight crew was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations.
- The aircraft weight and centre of gravity were within limits.
- There was no evidence of malfunction or component failure of the aircraft that would contribute to the cause of the accident.
- The first officer was at the controls during the approach.
- Visibility along the runway was reduced by fog.
- The aircraft drifted above the glide slope and right of the runway centre line as it passed over the runway threshold.
- The captain took control of the aircraft and applied hard left rudder at 30 feet agl.
- The aircraft rolled left and landed firmly on the runway with 11.5 degrees of left bank.
- The aircraft left wing contacted the runway surface on touch down.
- The aircraft cockpit voice recorder was not functioning during the occurrence flight.
Causes and Contributing Factors
The aircraft rolled left and the left wing struck the runway surface on touch down after the pilot applied hard left rudder control in the landing flare to align the aircraft with the runway centre line. The captain's late take-over of control and the reduced visibility along the runway were likely contributing factors to the occurrence.
This report concludes the Transportation Safety Board's investigation into this occurrence. Consequently, the Board, consisting of Chairperson Benoît Bouchard, and members Maurice Harquail, Charles Simpson and W.A. Tadros, authorized the release of this report on 08 January 1999.
Appendix A Approach Chart RWY 12L
1. All times are EST (Coordinated Universal Time minus five hours) unless otherwise noted.
2. A specified height at which a missed approach must be initiated during a precision approach if the required visual reference to continue the approach to land has not been established.

As long as I lived in Tennessee I never made it to Graceland but always wanted to go. This was on the top of our "to see " list while in Memphis.
I will say that I was a little disappointed in Graceland as I was expecting something much more bizarre after hearing about his home for decades. I always recall people talking about the Jungle Room, which I will get to later. When I got past what I thought I was going to see and concentrated on what was there, I thoroughly enjoyed his home and grounds.
We had pre-booked our tickets and arrived at the museum/ticket center/gift shop facility directly across Elvis Presley Boulevard from Graceland about 8:45. They give every one with I-pads and headphones that have John Stamos providing commentary throughout the tour along with videos and music. I found this annoying personally, but Jennifer seemed to enjoy it. I took my headphone off as they were awkward with my camera. It was hysterical when we went through the area where they had all Elvis's Gold Records and several people were singing along very loudly and…well I could hardly breathe I was laughing so hard.
They put you on mini-buses and take you to the home where you wait in line to go through the front doors. As we waited I watched how fast they got people in. Now, the tickets are about $50 minimum and go up to almost $100 depending on what you want to see. As each person stepped through I could picture little dollar signs popping from there heads and floating away. This place is a money-maker… … Continue reading

The American Israel public affairs committee (AIPAC) has seen headier days according to US congressional staffers forced to work regularly with the pro-Zionist agent of Israel. The grip of fear and the lock on Congress that the Israel first organization has long touted in its service to Israel may be weakening against a backdrop of American Jews rejecting the increasing rants of Prime Minister Netanyahu that are driving many Jews to distance themselves from him, from AIPAC, from other Arabphobic US Zionist organizations, and from Israel.
AIPAC tells some Congressional aids that fund raising is hurting and it can't keep promises it made to certain candidates that it would arrange "indirect" funding for their current election campaigns. This at the same time Netanyahu is increasingly becoming the butt of jokes across the Israeli and American political spectrum. Several in his cabinet and member s of the US Congress reportedly consider him an embarrassment. A perception likely added to by his recent General Assembly cartoon gimmick and his repeated Nazi style arm and hand gestures that were widely distributed by the main stream American media outlets especially Reuters, AP and even the Zionist Drudge Report.
In addition, there are signs that some members of congress and their staffs, who are heavily lobbied by AIPAC to donate cash, are beginning to chaff at heavy handed AIPAC fundraising tactics.
Perhaps reflecting financial pressures on its free spending policies including astronomical administration costs in the 75% range, on 9/24/12, Jonathan Missner, AIPAC's Director of National Affairs and Development sent out more 500,000 emails in a desperate and thinly veiled bid to raise cash to defeat Obama.
Wrote Missner:
Dear Friend of Israel:
I am writing because we have not yet heard from you, and your support is greatly needed by September 30th.
As I'm sure you know, Israel and America are now facing serious threats throughout the Middle East. In recent months alone we have seen:Protestors in multiple Arab countries storm U.S. embassies, burn American and Israeli flags, and chant "death to America, death to Israel," amidst false reports that a video was created by an Israeli Jew and backed by 100 Jewish financiers.
Iran sent military personnel and large quantities of weapons across to Syria to aid the Assad regime's violent crackdown.
A deadly terror attack along the Egypt-Israel border that killed 16 Egyptians and enabled terrorists to penetrate into Israel.
Leaders in Iran and its regional proxies increased their vitriol against Israel. The frequency and intensity of these recent statements has been troubling: "Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime." Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (August 17th).
If you're like most pro-Israel Americans, these events have made you more scared for Israel's existence than you've likely felt in many years.
But as you watch these dangers continue to unfold, it is important to remember there is something you can do to help keep Israel safe.
You can join AIPAC, and help ensure that our leaders in Washington speak out clearly and unequivocally in support of Israel and that the aggressions shown toward our greatest ally Israel must immediately cease.
At this dangerous time, the number one strategic answer to the threats facing Israel is for America to express – in every possible way- an unwavering, unshakable commitment to Israel.
We must ensure that President Obama speaks out for Israel.
We must ensure that America stands by its full commitment to Israel's security assistance for fiscal year 2013, which is vital for Israel to be able to defend herself.
And we must ensure that America continues to pledge 100% of its diplomatic support to Israel.
We must do all of this, so that we can send a strong and loud message that America stands by Israel and that any attacks on Israel's security is an attack on America's security."
AIPAC appears to be failing in carrying out its orders from the Israeli Embassy in Washington "to defeat Obama, whatever is required." The latest polls, including two commissioned by the American Jewish Committee and one from the Anti-Defamation League show Obama likely avoiding defeat on November 6th that Tel Aviv hoped his combative attitude toward Israel would produce.
Obama currently leads Mitt Romney by a 69-20 percent margin among likely Jewish voters. If these polls hold, while they represent a marked decline from the 78 percent of the Jewish vote Obama got in 2008, they show Romney's promise to put Israel "first no matter what " is not resonating with American Jews. By even garnering 25% of the Jewish vote this shows there is plenty of resistance to the Romney candidacy on a variety of domestic social issues that increasingly among the American public matter more than Israel's perceived zany schemes. These poll projections may have been reflected at the UN last week when Netanyahu appeared to back off a bit from his pillorying of the Obama administration as being weak on terrorism.
Meanwhile, according to an Arab American Institute (AAI) poll, 52 percent of all Arab-Americans say they plan to vote for Obama, compared to 26 percent who have declared their support for Romney. Broken down by religion, Arab American Muslims support Obama overwhelmingly (75% to 8%), while Orthodox/Protestants support Romney by a 16% margin. According to the poll, Arab American Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 2-1 margin (46% to 22%), continuing a steady migration away from the GOP toward the Democratic Party since 2002.
Congressional staffers report that the Obama White House is rejecting the tactics being employed behind its back to assert pressure for the "red lines" that Netanyahu's has been pushing and that the administration is aware that AIPAC is actively working to defeat President Obama on November 6th.What is confusing many in the American Jewish community appears to be the same as what perplexes a growing segment of the non-Jewish American public. And that is Netanyahu's nonsense over Iranian progress in having nuclear weapons and the history of this "the sky is falling-we must cry wolf!" canard.
It was back in April of 1984, that the British defense magazine Jane's Defense Weekly got things started with its false claim that Iran was "engaged in the production of an atomic bomb, likely to be ready within two years."
Jane's became embarrassed since it could offer no proof to back its sensationalist claim and soon admitted that its speculation was based on a West German intelligence source which turned out to be an assistant engineer who visited the unfinished Bushehr nuclear reactor that year and became curious. Soon, a pillar of the US Zionist lobby, US Senator Alan Cranston's picked up on the report and declared that Iran would have nuclear weapons by 1991.
The next year, Benjamin Netanyahu, a onetime campaign volunteer for Cranston, now an Israeli parliamentarian, began a campaign to inform the World that Iran could develop nuclear weapons within "three to five years" and therefore must be stopped through "an international front headed by the US."
The current President of Israel Shimon Peres announced in 1992 that Iran would have nuclear weapons by 1999. As noted by Robert Fisk in the UK Independent, current Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in 1996 that Iran would have a nuclear arsenal by 2004.
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld joined the project and reported to Congress in 1998 that Iran could build an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear or a biological payload that could hit the US within five years. Secretary of State Colin Powell soon claimed in 2004 that if fact, Iran had been working on technology to fit a nuclear warhead onto a missile. These allegations boldly came from Powell's less than one year after his Iraqi weapons of mass destruction assertions were being proven to be false.

These allegations boldly came from Powell's less than one year after his Iraqi weapons of mass destruction assertions were being proven to be false.
For his part, Netanyahu reportedly got into an ugly argument with the American ambassador to Israel last month over the Obama administration's unwillingness to take matters regarding Iran to a more aggressive level. The Israeli prime minister was, according to the New York Times, "at his wit's end" because, he claimed, Iran was "only four to six weeks away from a nuclear bomb". A few weeks later, Netanyahu backtracked and pushed the deadline "to six or seven months away."
And round and round it goes.
Congressional sources insist that White House staff will not forget Netanyahu's blatant attempts to humiliate and defeat their boss.
The American public, as well as the international community are exhibiting exhaustion over this incessant hysteria which was summed up recently by Professor Stephen M. Walt, writing in Foreign Policy. "Those prophesying war with Iran are starting to sound like those wacky cult leaders who keep predicting the End of the World, and then keep moving the date when the world doesn't end on schedule. At what point are we going to stop paying attention?"
One Congressional source emailed this observer: "Time will tell if next year's AIPAC conference finds President Obama or any of his top aides on its program."

Last May, talents from Dorier China (Beijing and Shanghai offices) joined forces with MCI Shanghai for a good cause.
#TEACHFORCHINA is a non-profitable organization whose mission is to provide quality education for the most underprivileged kids across the country. Both MCI and Dorier supported their annual charity gala offering their professional services. Dorier covered all audio-visual aspects of the event, from video, lighting to audio, as well as the production of layouts and floor plans to ensure that everything would seamless.
"Their vision to escape from poverty through education is truly inspiring; and that said, it was probably my most insightful event to date" commented Fadzly Ahmad, project manager from the Dorier Shanghai office. "It was a privilege to be part of the event, even in the tiniest way. And in regard to all the awful happenings all over the world, it was very enlightening to see that there is still a lot of humanity on earth" he added.

Our very own Jeanne stars in this knitting instructional article about how to pick up dropped stitches. We hope you enjoy it!
(Jeanne drops one stitch on purpose four rows down)
1. Take a crochet hook and insert it into the stitch from front to back.
2. Grab the strand and pull it through, keep working up the rows and then put it on your needle.
3. For the next stitch , insert the crochet hook from front to back and grab the next strand higher up and pull it through and pop it on your needles.
Tips to remember!
When picking up a dropped purl stitch - the horizontal bar is in front and you work the crochet hook from back to front.
When picking up a dropped stockinette stitch - horizontal bar is in back and you work the crochet hook from front to back.

A Reel Loss
"Have you seen anything good?" Yes, Pauline Kael's career.
Watching Pauline Kael watching a movie was a show in itself. I started thinking of that after she died Monday at 82--and not just in a nostalgic vein, though we'd been friends for more than three decades. Since I knew I'd be writing a remembrance--she was the best and the most influential movie critic of her time or any other--I naturally worried about what might work as a lead paragraph she'd enjoy. (She was death--oops, but it's true--on prose that was cluttered, sentimental or abstruse.)
Then the perfect image popped into...

Immigration is one of the primary concerns for employers who want to hire foreign workers. Many employers find that sponsoring the work permit for a foreign none EU national is complicated, time consuming and legally challenging. In particular small and mid-size companies are therefore concerned to employ 3rd country nationals and are missing out in the global competition for talent against larger corporations.
Also employees are regularly concerned with the work permit sponsoring systems as it locks them to 1 employer and prevents them from career development options in their new home country.
In many European countries the use of umbrella or outstaffing service companies provide a convenient and effective solution to this issue.
What is an Umbrella Company?
ClarusApex directly or via our agency network employs worldwide contractors, but does not make any decision about the employees workload and day to day operations.
Instead we are processing payments from our client, calculate and pay social fees and income tax to the local authorities and transfer the net amount to the contractor.
How can ClarusApex get a local work permit?

Barbara Payne has a good article on whether or not blogging is right for your business. Here's an example she gives of a blog working for the better of the company.
A recent Harvard Business Review article recounted how the CEO of a midsize corporation stood up at a big company meeting to introduce a new product they'd developed, only to find that most of the audience already knew about it.
Because they'd been reading the blog of one of the company's junior associates—who chronicled the progress of the development. Not surprisingly, HBR heralded this as a wakeup call to corporate marketing folks.
It's definitely something to experiment with. Personally, I think blogs will end up being used more internally than externally, for project management and stuff like that. I am curious – are there any readers in b-school who have heard blogs mentioned in their classes?

UTSA Football
I went to my first UTSA football game on Saturday! It would have been so much more fun if they had won, but I have to say it was such an experience. I love seeing those students all cheering on their team...the student sections were FULL! John and I saw Andi and Jeff out in the parking lot where they were tailgating. I didn't think to take their picture as I was so intent on getting to a bathroom. Dang! I didn't realize what a huge thing tailgating was -- they were everywhere. Now that's a great way to get there early and get good parking, and enjoy the time with friends. I just wish it had been cooler for them. Here's a few pics from the event. I'm glad we got the season tickets - it's an experience, and such a great thing for San Antonio. Unfortunately everyone will have to now retire their "UTSA Football - Still Undefeated" shirts. Oh well, you can't win them all.

One of the biggest events of the year, if not the biggest, was the Royal Wedding in UK on April 29. 2011. All eyes were centred on the couple, especially the bride Kate Middleton and what she was wearing. Whilst the dress, shoes, flowers and hair style were important, we along with many others were fascinated by the jewellery she was wearing.
She was seen wearing a Cartier Halo Tiara made of platinum and diamonds which was said to have been lent to her especially for the wedding by the Queen, This headband of diamonds which was given to Queen Elizabeth ll as a gift on her 18th birthday, matched perfectly with Kate's hairstyle. This was not we suspect, a coincidence. Her hair half down and half up looked both stylish and elegant, with the diamond tiara showing through from the inside of her veil that was made of ivory silk tulle with hand embroidered flowers on the trim.
The tiara complemented the delicate diamond drop earrings Kate chose to wear, earrings that were custom made to match the tiara. The earrings were made by Robinson Pelham and were given the shape of oak leaves clubbing them with a diamond set pear shape drop, with a diamond acorn in pave setting suspended in the centre.The earrings were inspired by the Middleton family coat of arms and took the form of oak and acorn leaves, the effect was both graceful and stunning. These platinum based drop earrings were made by UK craftsmen, and are a credit and testament to their skill. The earrings have successfully achieved an amalgamation of vintage, heirloom and modern from the families of both Kate and William. The result clearly reflects the couple's desire for a modern approach based upon a solid foundation of tradition.
Michael O'Conner, a jewellery expert said "Kate's jewellery truly epitomizes a modern yet a sophisticated style of a royal bride".
A wedding cannot be complete without a wedding ring, so Prince William slipped a Wartski wedding band made of rare Welsh gold upon the finger of Kate Middleton. A nugget of the Welsh gold kept in the royal vault for years, was given by the Queen to Prince William shortly after the announcement of his engagement.
Wartski was founded in 1865 in Wales and the gold nugget used in the wedding band was mined from the mountains in Wales near Anglesey. The married couple now live in Wales near where the gold was originally mined, although somehow I do not believe William will spend his week ends prospecting for gold.
Wartski specialize in Carl Faberge work, Russian arts, silver and fine jewellery, which is why the company remains a favourite of the royal family and were chosen to design the wedding band. The band was fashioned specifically from the Welsh gold, because the royal family values this gold for its quality and most of all, its scarcity.
Only one band was designed and made because Prince William chose not to wear a ring.We could not end this story without mentioning the engagement ring with which Prince William proposed to Kate.
The ring was a blue sapphire and diamond cluster ring. The central Ceylon blue sapphire was surrounded by diamonds and belonged to his mother Princess Diana. It was with this ring that Prince Charles proposed to Princess Dana in 1981. This ring design has become a legend in its time and a ring of this type is now commonly referred to as a Princess Diana ring. The design encompasses grace, beauty and humanity and reflects the sparkling personality of the late Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales.
This unique ring has at its centre a 12 carat oval blue sapphire surrounded by 14 round diamonds set into 18K white gold.Lady Diana's engagement ring was reported as having just 8 prongs with 2 in every corner but later more prongs were added to the ring to give it its present look. The deep intense blue colour in the centre shines exceptionally and flawlessly against the dazzling and sparkling white periphery. This undoubtedly will be a timeless design that will remain popular for many years to come.
It is said that Lady Diana and Prince Charles were shown a plethora of rings from which to choose, but she picked only this ring. Maybe not because it wasn't costly, but more because this ring oozes out elegance, charm, sophistication and most of all royalty. The cluster ring design portrays versatility considering the use of three materials blue sapphire, diamonds and white gold. This feature makes it shine impeccably and boldly from every angle with even the slightest ray of light.
It is known that Kate is not fond of wearing too much jewellery and her wedding was no exception. Wearing just the tiara with the drop earrings to match, along with the blue sapphire and diamond cluster ring stole peoples hearts worldwide and complimented the natural grace and beauty of Kate herself.
Perhaps the engagement ring will bring more happiness to William and Kate than it did to Charles and Diana. It is said that the fate of the British monarchy rests upon the shoulders of William and Kate, so we wish them both every success for the future, and hope that the happiness of their wedding day remains with them both always.
