An aluminum bat was to blame for the hard-hit ball that careened into 11-year-old Jake Schutter's head, a federal lawsuit alleged today, claiming that the bat's design sends balls flying too fast for players to react.
An attorney for the boy's family hopes the mishap at a spring youth league game will reignite local debate on the use of metal bats by children.
"Not only are we looking for money damages here, but we want legislation to stop kids from using these bats that are promoted as cannons," said attorney Antonio Romanucci, who is representing Jake's parents, Robert and Cheryl Schutter, of Mokena.

Honey harvesting
It is the period for honey harvesting. In the past 2 years, we have been able to distribute 650 hives among women and men in our villages. We buy the harvested raw honey (wax and honey) from the beekeepers. We condition and bottle it, and sell it on the local market.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — "The President and the Attorney General, by rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, have made clear their willingness to cut short the futures of more than 800,000 young people in America and deny the benefits of DACA to those in line. These young people came to America as children and are following their dreams. They have grown into energized and productive students, employees, soldiers and tax payers. Many stepped out and said we want to serve – but their service is now being cruelly disrespected and devalued. Their dreams have become nightmares. The Children's Defense Fund calls on Congress to immediately pass protections for the dreamers who put their faith in our government but have been left in peril. We must move forward, not backwards in protecting our future generations – their success and the success of our communities and our country depends on it."
The Children's Defense Fund Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

Global Executives Survey: Growth of Flexible Packaging
Nov 17, 2016, 12:33 EST
LONDON, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Summary
Canadean's Global Executives Survey: Growth of Flexible Packaging report examines organizations' views about the opportunities for flexible packaging. The report evaluates strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing industry players who use flexible packaging in their production processes.
Key Findings
- In Asia-Pacific, companies are the most likely to work with flexible packaging
- For large and small companies, improved sustainability increases the popularity of flexible packaging
- Packaging companies mainly prioritize running costs, adaptability to different pack sizes/materials, and initial costs of purchasing equipment when looking for new equipment for flexible packaging
- BOPP is by far the leading material for which players in the packaging industry forecast the greatest demand
- Specialization in other packaging types and not being suitable for the product nature are key reasons producers avoid flexible packs
- Packaging retailers are progressively looking for products that exhibit some creativity in merchandise.
- Flexible packaging is reusable and also includes features such as clear high-barrier films, easy open and easy-reclose options, reducing waste costs, and green appeal.
- Lower production costs and providing convenience for consumers are the key strengths.
- Flexible packaging should aim to replace paper packs, as many packaging companies find it difficult to substitute their paper packs with flexible packaging.
- BOPP is considered to be the leading flexible material, for which industry players forecast the greatest demand.
- Finally, non-flexible packaging producers should compete with flexible packaging on sustainability and premium credentials.
Reasons To Buy
- The report will benefit organizations and allow them to make effective business strategy decisions by understanding the features of flexible packaging such as resealable seals, zip locks, and spouts
- Organizations will be supported in business expansion decisions flexible packaging enables manufacturers to make packaging of any shape and size to suit their product, brand, and other business needs
- Helps to alter investment allocation by understanding key focus areas (eco-friendly packaging) highlighted by survey respondents

The Rosenbach Museum & Library seeks to inspire curiosity, inquiry, and creativity by engaging broad audiences in exhibitions, programs, and research based on its remarkable and expanding collections.
The Rosenbach Museum & Library was founded upon collections acquired in the first half of the twentieth century by Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach and his brother Philip, preeminent dealers in rare books, manuscripts, and art. No longer a private library, the Rosenbach is today a public institution serving a broad audience. Since opening to the public in 1954, collections have grown to include 30,000 rare books, 300,000 manuscripts, 20,000 works of art on paper, 500 paintings, and 350 decorative art objects.
The collections are especially strong in Americana, British and American literature, and book illustration, and include treasures noted for extraordinary significance, rarity, and physical condition. Largest among its collections are the papers of Modernist poet Marianne Moore, illustrator Maurice Sendak, and the Rosenbach Company itself.
The Museum and Library are housed in the brothers' elegantly-appointed 19th-century town home, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors are welcomed into a personal world where great collectors lived among their collections. The Rosenbach expanded into the townhouse adjoining it at 2008 Delancey Place to create new storage facilities, a second gallery, and a new reading room. The same project saw the restoration of the original Rosenbach home.

- weight gain
- shortness of breath/li>
- bloating
- swelling in feet and legs
- fatigue
- muscle weakness
- coughing, frothing sputum
2. Weigh daily in the morning after urinating and before eating or drinking. Notify your doctor if you notice a gain of two or three pounds in 24 hours, or five pounds in a week.
3. Take all your medications and do not stop any unless you consult your doctor.
4. Fluid intake should be no less than 48 ounces a day and no more than 64 ounces a day.
5. Sodium causes your body to hold extra fluid. The more fluid, the harder the heart has to work. Limit the sodium in your diet to no more than 1500 mg daily.
6. With the 1500 mg limitation, learning to read the nutrition labels is an essential part of managing heart failure. Watch the milligrams of salt in each service size.
7. Salt has 2400 mg of sodium in a single teaspoon.
8. All food has sodium in it. In fact, there are even some hidden salts in the form of things like MSG (often in Asian food) or baking soda. Do not add any salt to your food.
9. Even if you can only do a small amount, exercise will help you have more energy and manage your weight and your stress. We recommend at least 30 minutes a day or your doctor can suggest a safe level of exercise based on your condition and the stage of your disease.
10. You can learn more tips and get low-sodium recipes at the Prairie Heart Institute's Heart Failure Support Group on the 2nd Thursday of the month. Open to you and your family at the Cardiac Management Center located in the lower level of the Herrin Medical Arts Building.

Imogen Thomas, the most beautiful and the sexiest babe of today's time in the entertainment and fashion world, is pregnant these days. The paparazzi's delight, Imogan was in Spain recently where she took the yoga classes and enjoyed the precious moments of life.
Although she has done glamour modeling a lot in her time, but this curvaceously classy and sexy babe does not leave any stone unturned to pose for the cameras whenever any opportunity knocks the door.
Imogen, 29, the former Big Brother contestant, was in Spain for fewer days where she went for pregnancy yoga retreat in the hills. Over the weekend, the babe flaunted off her pregnant curves in super revealing bikini on the Marbella beach.
After the yoga classes turned off, Thomas went for enjoying life on the beach. The brunette let the people know that even the pregnancy suited her the best and made her extra sexier than before.

It's April Fools Day! Celebrated around the world, it's the perfect time for people to play practical jokes and pranks on each other. But the holiday isn't just a time for individuals to have a laugh on their friends and family: Large companies have long had a tradition of using April 1 to pull humorous hoaxes on the public. Here are some of my favorites from past years.
Google (GOOG) is probably the most well known company for its April Fools Day pranks. Remember back in 2000, when they launched the Google MentalPlex — a way to operate the search engine by thought control? Or Google Romance launched on April 1, 2006. And last year, Google switched names with Topeka.
But by far, my favorite was the Google Animal Translator, an Android app launched from the company's pet-friendly U.K. offices last year. A YouTube video explains how the new app "translates animal speech into human vernacular" by analyzing the "neurobiological acoustics" of the animal's speech. Makes sense, no?
Starbucks (SBUX) also loves to play tricks on its customers. You asked for more drink sizes, the coffee giant said last year. We listened to our customers and delivered. Yes, Starbucks announced two new sizes: Plenta — a gigantic, 128-ounce drink, and Micra — a tiny, 2-ounce sip.
The company added pictures of people holding the drinks, and even proceeded to calm the environmentally conscious by saying the mammoth Plenta cups could be reused in several ways, such as rain hats, lampshades or yoga blocks. The Micra cup, it said, could serve "as a convenient milk dish for kittens, soft boiled egg cup or paper clip holder."
Then there's this classic from 1983: Burger King's famous Left-Handed Whopper. The left-handed burger, the fast-food burger chain said, will still include all the ingredients, "but the sandwich has been re-designed to fit more comfortably in the left hand." How? "The new Left-Handed Whopper will have all the condiments rotated 180 degrees, thereby redistributing the weight of the sandwich so that the bulk of them skew to the left." Of course, "This will result in fewer condiment 'spills' for left-handed hamburger lovers."
Another of my favorites belongs to the Guardian newspaper in England, which in 2009 announced it would switch from paper to Twitter. "Consolidating its position at the cutting edge of new media technology, the Guardian today announces that it will become the first newspaper in the world to be published exclusively via Twitter."
As for the 140 character limit: "Skeptics have expressed concerns that 140 characters may be insufficient to capture the full breadth of meaningful human activity, but social media experts say the spread of Twitter encourages brevity, and that it ought to be possible to convey the gist of any message in a tweet."
Finally, Internet travel company Expedia (EXPE) on April 1, 2009 offered flights to Mars. The site, which featured an ad for the flights, includes details on hotels and activities on Mars as well as explanation about life and weather on Mars. You can even choose your spaceship.

 Press Release :
 Many radio programmers and DJs enjoyed the previous volume of "Grant Phabao Remixed & Remixes", with its handful of hits and discoveries, and his 2005 single with The Lone Ranger and Carlton Livingston, "(Message To You) Rudie", which got played worldwide, up to Irie FM playlist in Jamaica. The feedback was simple: everyone agreed on Phabao's unique production skills, bringing back the original King Tubby sound with a modern twist.

 This second volume is as collectable as the first one (only 30 copies pressed!!), with even more mind-blowing reggae reworks than you could dream of.

 The George Clinton connection happened through our lovely friends at Kraked who did produce an incredible hippie-funkadelic album a few years back ("Drugs", with members of Funkadelic and new wolves). They had three Clinton tracks to remix and handed the slow tempo one to Grant Phabao for instant reggaeification. And you'll love this one. Rappers got shut off, Papa George got lifted in the spotlight with his stunning Curtis Mayfield-esque take, Blackbyrd's guitar still shining, and Phabao decorating the whole with an in-your-bed reggae riddim. The track is 100% approved by Doctor Funkenstein while on tour in Paris this summer and should see the light in 2007 on a strictly limited 7 inch...

 The LM remix is quite a story too. It was scheduled for release on some else's label, but we cancelled the release because that label never paid us for our work with him on a new distribution company (loss = thousands of Euros), never paid us for his online shop (which we closed - loss = thousands of Euros), never paid for his website (which we closed - loss = thousands of Euros) and never paid us for his domain name. We had agreed that he could release this remix after resolving all his debts, but he totally cheated on us and stabbed us in the back, launching a new site, not paying us, and releasing this remix on a limited vinyl without any authorization or contract AND with us telling him not to release it. We will be suing the crook without any remorse.

 Grant Phabao's first forrays into hip hop are smashers too, with a Ty remix that was available as an mp3 download for one day only (in collaboration with Big Dada Records, Ping Pong promo agency and 3eme Voie touring agency) to celebrate his show in Paris. Ty loved this roots reggae take on his new single, "Don't Watch That". We met, exchanged emails and hope to build up more collaborations with the man in the near future....

 When cool L.A. hip hop meets roots Jamaican reggae... The Procussions' remix was itself dealt directly with the artists and thier manager, without their label being involved. Their Grant Phabao reggae remix was so good that it immediatly got props from Manu Boubli (Mind Records), Erik Rug (Les Disques Du Telegraphe), Betino's Record Shop and many others, including world famous poet Jalal (The Last Poets), "the godfather of rap" who simply said: "it's fresh"... and then a few days later passed at our studio to start a track with Grant Phabao!

 ParisDJs.com partner Erik Rug is a friend. He's ultra-talented and also lives only one block away fro the TIMEC studio. Exchanging remixing skills with him was just a matter of time... So he choose a track himself and revamped it in 80's UK dub stylings before we could say "Wow!". Respect to the original Dreadless Soldier cos' that's just a new deep dancefloor thing!!

 We've also compiled in there three bootlegs we got our hand on, from unknown producers The Flying Customs and the Booty Smash Soundsystem, who managed to download some Phabao instrumentals leaking on Soulseek and mashed them up with some Cee-Lo, Mr Vegas and Beenie Man a capellas wonderfully! These boots are made for playing so we couldn't NOT spread them along the ones we did ourselves. [Any information on the bootlegers is welcome - if you're the Flying Customs or the booty Smahs Soundsytem please contact us - we love your remixes!!]

Change the lives of Malawian children and have your own fulfilling experience at the same time by joining this program as a teacher aide in a Malawi school. Meet a new generation of eager students and be a part of their future as a Malawian Teacher Aide!
You will work beside friendly local school teachers, who will provide guidance and lesson plans for you to work from, based on their own curriculum. Throughout this life-changing program, you will have the opportunity to take part in games, experiments, and other activities during English, science, and math classes.
If you love teaching and being around children then the Malawi teacher aide program is something you will really enjoy. The schools that we have developed relationships with are all in desperate need of teaching support. These are schools with an established curriculum, and your role will be to assist the regular teaching staff in teaching this to larger classes.
Placements vary, and you may find yourself working in either an orphanage, public, primary or secondary school around the Mangochi area. Your placement depends on the local communities needs at your time of arrival.
Through this opportunity, you will get to see Malawi and understand the local culture in ways that tourists rarely get to experience. You'll come away from this with an insight into a different culture, language and education system, as well as the knowledge that you've made a difference to the local community.
The first day is a more of an introduction, where you will be shown around the school facilities and eased into the program. You will spend this day in the classroom environment where the teachers will get to know you and understand your own abilities, before assigning an appropriate role for you.
You will be teaching for roughly five hours with a lunch break in between. You will have the opportunity in the afternoons to prepare your lessons and activities for the following day. A typical day on this program might look like:

Pure Remedy For Ovarian Cysts
Scholarly Discussion: Based mostly on what you may have learned in the course to date, focus on the similarities and variations between the philosophies of wellness offered this week. Talk about how they relate to the idea of wellness as outlined on this course, how they relate to specific challenges or helps for wellness, and the way learning about different philosophies might have influenced your individual conceptualization of wellness. You will be glad to know that there are pure cures for ovarian cysts that will alleviate your ache while being safe in your unborn child. Ovarian cysts are usually not uncommon, in the event you had been questioning, even throughout a pregnancy. You might have some concerns about how they are going to have an effect on your unborn baby. Once more, simply so you know, it is vitally rare for ovarian cysts to turn out to be cancerous. Set up an appointment with your physician in the event you feel as if you might have a cyst. If in case you have a cyst, it will verify it, and your physician will have the ability to tell if it can be cancerous.

Research Concentration Program (RCP)
The goal of this program is to promote research experience for all interested students at the Tufts University School of Medicine. Medical students who decide to become involved in research during their medical school careers may elect to interrupt the regular curriculum and join the Research Concentration Program after completing the preclinical curriculum. Students who participate in the RCP program do so after completing the Core Clerkship year (Year 3). Permission of the Dean of Students or Associate Dean of students must be obtained if a student wants to do the RCP program between Year 2 and Year 3 of the curriculum. RCP must be done full time for a minimum of six continuous months and up to a full year.
Students who wish to participate in research that relates to their curriculum may apply to participate in the Research Concentration Program (RCP). Students applying to the Research Concentration Program must receive approval from the Dean for Students or the Associate Dean for Students prior to undertaking the research. Students in a joint degree program must also obtain their Program Directors approval.
To apply, the student must identify a research preceptor, complete the RCP form (available from the Registrar's Office) and provide a description of the research that they will undertake.
The student and the preceptor must detail:
The RCP preceptor is responsible for overseeing the student's research and functions in a mentorship capacity. Should any questions or problems come up during the RCP time, the preceptor should contact Dr. Amy Kuhlik, Dean of Students or Janet Kerle, Associate Dean of Students. They can be reached at 617 636-6534.
The RCP must be full time for a minimum of six months and is not to exceed one year. Full time is considered a minimum of 35 hours per week/4 weeks per month. Students are not permitted to take any coursework or clerkships while on RCP. Students cannot earn a degree from another school for the work done while on RCP.
While a student participates in the RCP, the student remains enrolled full time at TUSM and is responsible for payment of all required school fees (e.g. Disability Insurance, Health Insurance, Activity Fee) including the Continuation Fee (approx. $1500/semester). There is no full tuition charge for the time on RCP.
A final RCP report from the student's research preceptor is required at the completion of the RCP. The RCP report form will be emailed to the student near the conclusion of their RCP. The student must ensure that their preceptor completes and returns the report to the Registrar's Office within a month from the end date of the research program.
(The student must provide the preceptor with a copy of this page.)

One fledgling new church gathered for an overnight, all church retreat. It was located at a retreat center not far from their temporary worship location in the city, and about half of their average Sunday worship were in attendance. Attendees of all ages reported they had a great time. One person reported "we truly became a close family during our time together." Sounds great doesn't it, until one takes a closer look at the long term consequences.....
1- In order to have an overnight, weekend retreat for committed insiders, periphery worship attendees were shut out. Sure they were invited, even encouraged to come, but people on the edges were not yet ready for such a deeply personal, high trust experience with strangers.
2- Building a "close family" out of these attendees continues an "insider-outsider" dynamic within the body. Again, everyone was invited and encouraged to attend; there was no intent to exclude anyone. The end result, however, is a growing familiarity with one core group. Those who did not attend the retreat have one more year of over-hearing insider stories and jokes which makes welcoming the stranger even more difficult. "Close family" bonding works for small groups but is a detriment for all-church events. "Close family" feelings are often the beginning of cliques and the enemy of inclusiveness.
3- Worship was canceled for the Sunday of the retreat. Sure, there was worship on site at the retreat and in the beautiful outdoor setting, God's creative handiwork took center stage but worship was canceled at their regular location. Sunday by Sunday momentum was interrupted, and if any first time visitors showed up for worship, they were greeted by locked doors and a simple announcement that the congregation was on retreat.
All church overnight retreats are not, in and of themselves, a bad thing. They can be very helpful for leadership building, problem solving, and looking strategically or longterm at many issues. When you plan one:
1- Do NOT assume a congregation wide event can experience and sustain small group intimacy. Small groups are the place for that. If you don't have small groups, or enough small groups, build new small groups during the retreat, which would continue when you get home.
2- Strengthen existing small groups at the retreat, clarifying their unique role.
3- Be cautious about holding any retreat over Sunday morning since it breaks the desired, hoped for habit of persons in worship attendance each week. Also, it is impossible to know what new, first time visitors you miss out on when you leave your site empty. There's a reason we don't cancel worship.
4- If an all church retreat MUST take place over a Sunday morning, have selected church leaders (and preferably the pastor) hang back in your normal Sunday morning worship location to lead a worship service for visitors and those who choose not to attend the retreat. Make worship special in BOTH locations.
5- Think strategically about what kind of events are best to:
a. build your existing leadership team b. train new and existing leaders
c. do vision and problem solving work d. build and strengthen small groups
e. build the corporate body

Loss of a Propeller in Flight
Aéro 3000
Piper PA-31P C-GAFG
20 nm north of the VOR
Watertown, New York, U.S.A.
22 July 1998
The Piper Navajo, registration C-GAFG, serial number 31P-76, with five persons on board, was on a commercial flight under instrument flight rules (IFR) from the Ottawa airport, Ontario, to Syracuse, New York, U.S.A. When the aircraft was cruising at 10 000 feet above sea level, the crew heard an unusual, very loud and very brief noise. The co-pilot saw the right propeller break away from the engine and move up and to the right, without touching the aircraft. A large quantity of oil spread over the right wing. The crew immediately carried out the emergency procedure, and informed the control centre in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. The descent was made visually with only one engine. The aircraft landed without difficulty at Watertown airport, with emergency equipment standing by.
Ce rapport est également disponible en français.
Other Factual Information
The records indicate that the pilot-in-command was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations. He was a company employee and had accumulated approximately 690 flying hours at the time of the occurrence, including about 68 hours on type. He held a commercial pilot licence--aeroplane category since 1996.
The aircraft had accumulated 3 468 flying hours since its manufacture in 1972. It had been purchased in British Columbia in February 1998, and as soon as it was received by the operator, it was given a 1 000-hour major inspection in conformity with the approved inspection program. Since that inspection the aircraft had accumulated 69 flying hours.
The engine was installed on this aircraft in August 1986, with 947 hours since an overhaul in March 1979. At the time of the 1 000-hour major inspection in 1998, the engine had accumulated 1 178 hours. The technical records show that the engine had been used for only 231 hours in the past 12 years. At the time of the occurrence, the engine had accumulated 1 247 hours, and the time elapsed since the overhaul in March 1979 was 19 years 3 months. Textron Lycoming Service Instruction 1009AJ recommends a time between overhauls of 1 200 hours or 12 years. In publishing that service instruction, the manufacturer wanted to make clarifications and establish clear procedures for the operation and maintenance requirements for its engines. The service instruction also states that operators may increase the number of hours between overhauls if the engine is in continuous service, that is, not out of service for longer than 30 days. The manufacturer also warns about the possibility of deterioration of materials and parts during out-of-service periods. It states that the 12-year time between overhauls should never be exceeded.
The propeller had been installed on the right engine on 31 July 1997 following a complete overhaul. At the time of the 1 000-hour major inspection, the propeller had been in service for 15 hours since the last overhaul. At the time of the occurrence, the propeller had accumulated 84 hours since the last overhaul.
In Canada, operators must maintain their aircraft according to a maintenance schedule approved by Transport Canada (TC). These maintenance schedules are submitted for approval following an analysis by the operator, and depend on such factors as the type of operation, the type of flights performed by the aircraft, and annual use forecasts calculated in hours and in cycles. It is up to the operators to identify any amendments necessary to reflect changes in conditions, and to obtain TC approval to incorporate those changes. The operator had received its new operating certificate on 17 March 1998. The original maintenance schedule, bearing the number Q-2360, had been approved on 10 November 1997. The first amendment to the maintenance schedule was approved on 22 May 1998. The main purpose of this amendment was to include in the maintenance schedule Airworthiness Notice B041, concerning the engine on-condition program.
The Approved Maintenance Organization's maintenance policy manual was submitted to TC on 15 August 1996 and approved on 28 July 1997. It meets the requirements of an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) under Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR) 573.10. The approval certificate, number 31-97, was issued on 28 July 1997. The AMO maintenance policy manual indicates that, except for the position of maintenance manager, all other duties related to the AMO's operations are delegated to the AMO president. Those duties include those of hangar foreman, quality assurance manager, assistant to the maintenance manager, apprentice, storesman, and records clerk.
According to the AMO maintenance policy manual, the maintenance manager performs the following duties: (a) is in charge of all maintenance activities carried out by the AMO, and must meet the standards of qualifications stated in Airworthiness Manual Chapter 573; (b) is in charge of distributing work to the maintenance personnel; (c) is in charge of initial training, recurrent training, and additional training given to the maintenance personnel; and (d) is in charge of carrying out the quality assurance program and ensuring that the maintenance and the management of maintenance activities comply with the standards stated in Airworthiness Manual Chapter 573.
According to the AMO maintenance policy manual, duties (b) and (c) are delegated to the assistant to the maintenance manager, and duty (d) is delegated to the quality assurance manager. The duties of assistant to the maintenance manager and quality assurance are performed by the AMO president. The maintenance manager is not a full-time employee.
Airworthiness Notice B041 contains the requirements for the engine on-condition maintenance program. Operators may incorporate such programs in their aircraft maintenance schedules as an alternative to the manufacturer's recommended "hard time" programs. Continued compliance with the Pilot Operating Handbook, Aircraft Flight Manual, Engine Operating Manual , and the maintenance practices recommended by the manufacturer may help to extend the time between overhauls. The program consists of repetitive periodic inspections to determine a unit's (component's) condition so that it will be removed from service prior to failure during normal operations.
Before approving this program, the maintenance manager must review all recommendations issued by the aircraft, engine, propeller, and component manufacturers in the form of service publications and other documents, such as service bulletins, directives, letters, etc. The maintenance manager must study the recommendations to determine whether incorporation of a given element is appropriate to the new program. The program provides for repeat inspections at intervals of 25, 50, 100, and 200 hours. The entries for the checks performed and the actions taken must be made and certified in the relevant technical records in accordance with CAR 571.03.
The level of inspection provided for in the program is not comparable to an overhaul by an approved engine shop. The inspection consists in assessing the current condition of the engine, and ensuring that the operating parameters set by the manufacturer are within prescribed limits and that the engine's external and internal condition does not show any form of corrosion, damage, or wear. Oil analysis and removal of the cylinders are the only possible means of determining internal condition. Even when the cylinders are removed for inspection, several important parts are not visible; therefore, they cannot be assessed.
The engine teardown identified some fractured components that needed metallurgical analysis and evaluation. These included a broken valve spring (part number LW-11799), an intake valve (part number LW13087), and the propeller shaft-driven gear (part number 75562). Even though the valve spring breakage did not contribute to the loss of the propeller, there was a fatigue point caused by corrosion. The intake valve head was broken into four segments, but did not exhibit signs of progressive failure; rather, the fractures were consistent with a rapid overstress most likely caused by overspeed due to the loss of the propeller.
On the other hand, the propeller shaft-driven gear exhibited widespread fatigue cracking of the gear teeth, complete separation of the rim from the hub at the web, and ovalization of the rim itself. Although the roots of the gear teeth were covered with a carbonaceous oil residue, there was indication of corrosion pitting. After removal of the bulk of the oil residue by repeated application of an oven cleaner solution, the corrosion pitting became even more noticeable. Detailed examination of the fatigue crack initiation sites established a link between the corrosion pits and the cracks.
The pilot was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations. The aircraft was airworthy, and there were no known deficiencies before the flight.
Before submitting an amendment to a maintenance schedule, the maintenance manager must review all recommendations issued by the engine manufacturer, such as service bulletins, directives, letters, etc. The maintenance manager must study the recommendations to determine whether incorporation of a given element to the new program is appropriate. The engine manufacturer had issued Service Instruction 1009AJ, clearly stating the possibility of engine deterioration. The maintenance manager, in his analysis, and TC, in granting its approval, did not take those recommendations into account.
The operator had its own AMO. Except for the position of maintenance manager, all other duties related to AMO operations were delegated to the AMO president. Three of the four duties ordinarily carried out by the maintenance manager had been delegated to the assistant to the maintenance manager, who is the AMO president. This seems to indicate that a single individual directed the operator's operations and maintenance, especially since the maintenance manager was not a full-time employee. This organizational structure had been approved by TC.
The engine manufacturer has established a limit for hours of operation for each engine type it manufactures. The limit varies depending on the type of operation and the quality of the maintenance done on its product. However, the engine manufacturer allows no flexibility as to the number of years of use, and clearly recommends never exceeding the 12-year limit, as specified in Service Instruction 1009AJ.
The TSB Engineering Branch determined that the presence of corrosion pitting in various areas resulted from a lack of proper corrosion prevention measures. Examination of the technical records revealed that no action had been taken to that effect. The presence of corrosion caused an accelerated wear, considering the relatively low number of hours of operation of the engine. The possible increased play and the fatigue from corrosion pitting both contributed to the failure of the propeller shaft-driven gear. This failure in turn led to the destruction of the propeller housing case, and the propeller separated in flight.
The following Engineering Branch report was completed:
- LP 90/98--Engine components examination.
- Review of the records indicates that the pilot was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations.
- The aircraft was certified and maintained in accordance with existing regulations and approved procedures.
- The first amendment to maintenance schedule Q-2360 was approved on 22 May 1998. The main purpose of this amendment was to include in the maintenance schedule Airworthiness Notice B041, which refers to the on-condition engine program.
- Textron Lycoming Service Instruction 1009AJ recommends a time between overhauls of 1 200 hours or 12 years.
- The engine had accumulated 1 247 hours, and 19 years and 3 months had elapsed since it was overhauled.
- The AMO's organizational structure had been approved by TC.
- The condition of certain internal engine components could not be assessed due to the level of inspection performed under the on-condition engine inspection program.
- The propeller housing case was destroyed, and the propeller separated in flight.
Causes and Contributing Factors
The increased play and fatigue caused by corrosion pitting both caused the propeller shaft- driven gear to fail. This failure in turn led to the destruction of the propeller housing case, and the propeller separated in flight. Contributing to the occurrence was the fact that neither the maintenance manager nor TC took into account the manufacturer's Service Instruction 1009AJ concerning the time between engine overhauls.
Safety Action Taken
Changes to the maintenance schedule (Q-2360) were requested by TC and were made by the operator to discontinue the on-condition engine program.
In December 1998, TC issued a notice of suspension of the operator's operating certificate because the operator no longer had a maintenance agreement. The operator revised its organizational structure and subcontracted its maintenance to another AMO.
TC is assessing the regulations contained in CAR 573 that apply to the reporting structure within an AMO.
This report concludes the Transportation Safety Board's investigation into this occurrence. Consequently, the Board, consisting of Chairperson Benoît Bouchard, and members Jonathan Seymour, Charles Simpson, W.A. Tadros and Henry Wright, authorized the release of this report on 13 January 2000.

Best for Couple's Spa: Luljetta's Hanging Gardens in Antipolo7:23 PM
Last love month, I've been posting photos of mountains and hanging gardens on my Instagram and Facebook account. It's from Luljet...
Last love month, I've been posting photos of mountains and hanging gardens on my Instagram and Facebook account. It's from Luljetta's Hanging Gardens and Spa, a sanctuary for couples looking for superb spa treatment that my hubby and I just discovered.
Whenever there's a bit of a chance for me and my hubby to travel, even if it's just a road trip to the nearest beach or resort, we eagerly do so. That's what we planned to do last valentine's day, only because it falls on a weekend. Okay, who am I gonna kid now? Admittedly, we planned it because we're kinda cheesy couples, pa rin. :-)
While the date is drawing near, we somehow lost the excitement of booking anything because of crazy changes going on around us. Another option that came to fruition was we at least book for a body massage because we were both too stressed out. And I was glad we downgraded our plan because that's more what we really needed to have pala talaga.
Let me walk you through to the first and only hanging gardens and spa in the Philippines, which is just a stone's throw away from the urban jungle.
With very little expectations, maybe because we're too focused on the clouds looming over our sky at that time, we were unprepared for the beauty of this place. I've read that it offers a complete hanging garden's retreat but pre-occupied that we are, we didn't bring clothes to change. I guess, our hardened muscles are just screaming MASSAGE PLEASE, PRONTO that nothing else comes to mind. :-(
We we're greeted with unexpected calmness of the lush greens and landscaped gardens that is overlooking Laguna de Bay and Metro Manila.
There are different types of spa which one can choose from depending on accommodations, ambiance, facilities, staff-to-guest ratios, etc. What is usual nowadays are Day Spa or Salon Spa. That's what we had in Luljetta's.
Calming music, scented candles and serene ambiance are what you can expect from this place. There might be some guests who are not very observant of how the place should be, but in general it's a revitalizing camp that can provide healing break from your daily stresses.
We had a soothing massage in the afternoon after our lunch in Verde cafe at Loreland. I really had sore muscles that the hard pressure I got from my massage therapist was simply heavenly. I guess, we both fallen into a sweet nap after our massages. #veryrelaxed. Haha!
We didn't try the other retreat activities that they offer from that first visit. We had it on the second time with our little one, which was just a couple of weeks ago. Yes, we're there again because we're that satisfied!
For the Hanging Gardens retreat package, we were given batik robes, towels and a basket where we can put all the essentials we need through the day.
I brought my lightweight tote with me coz lockers are not enough when we were there. Here's more of what Luljetta's can offer.
Infinity pools, hydro massage, Dr. Fish, sauna and jacuzzi are available facilities to pamper you to the max! Or should I say, to the infinity! Lol! Even my little boy enjoyed everything we tried.
We enjoyed the experience to the max, as in 'til night or when we got tired and needed to have a break from relaxing (oh, how cool is that? Haha!) with some snacks of local suman and some ginger tea. It's included in the package, by the way.
Indeed, a well spent day of spa and retreat for us care of Luljetta's Hanging Gardens and Spa. Definitely, couples will enjoy this place. Why? Aside from the obvious, which I've overloaded with our photos (sorry for that), here's what I really like about this place:
- The overall ambiance and unlimited space with greens and fresh air are something else that we cannot compare to confined walls of posh facilities.
- Although it's full of stairs, I think it's an ace of this place. The non-planar dimension of where it's facilities are splayed out provides privacy even the place could get busy with guests.
- The staff are friendly, helpful and respectful. For the two visits that we had, we got the same courteous greetings and assistance from them. Everybody was treated just the same. And I didn't even notice where they are spread throughout the day. It's an off observation for me if you visit a spa facility and the staff are too loud.
Definitely, it deserves my #sulit badge. Haha! Here's more of our to the max R&R.
"The first duty of love is to listen" by Paul Tillich - There's a lot more of those uplifting quotes. Did I mention that with those generous and spread out positive reminders planted on every nook and cranny of their garden will make you feel better, all the same? Thumbs up for that concept! #feelingrenewed
And that's the wrap. So, reward yourself once in awhile and have a revitalizing retreat! *wink

Richard: Gov't Vague on TAED, public confused
KOTA KINABALU, July 6 - The new Sabah government being vague on the Tanjung Aru Ecological Development Project(TAED) and has not clearly stated whether the Tanjung Aru Beaches are still public assets.
KOTA KINABALU, July 6 - The new Sabah government being vague on the Tanjung Aru Ecological Development Project(TAED) and has not clearly stated whether the Tanjung Aru Beaches are still public assets.
KOTA KINABALU, 13 June 2018: Sabah Progressive Party's withdrawal from Barisan Nasional (BN) in 2008 has been fully vindicated today. "Sarawak local parties have also closed down BN. This is the trend today when Sabah and Sarawak political parties are no longer subservient to Malaya parties. This cannot be avoided," said Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee, SAPP President.
KOTA KINABALU, June 8, 2018: SABAH politicians are eager to intervene in Petronas' suit to lay exclusive claim on the country's petroleum resources and to be the regulator of the upstream industry.
Sabah, a petroleum-rich state, stands to lose its rights if the national oil company wins in its suit, said Sabah Star president Jeffrey Kitingan.
He said that while Petronas was relying on the Petroleum Development Act 1974 as the point of its argument, this law was in fact "unconstitutional".
KOTA KINABALU, 7 June 2018: The Sabah government should as soon as possible start repair and upgrade Tanjung Aru public facilities after stopping TAED, said Datuk Richard Yong, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Secretary-General cum Tanjung Aru CLC chairman.
He said, prior to this, the Sabah government stopped all maintenance of facilities, while giving way to TAED (Tanjung Aru Eco Development). And since it has decided to stop the development plan, the government should therefore immediately resume upkeep of the area.
KOTA KINABALU, May 19, 2018: The newly appointed Federal Cabinet is "Malaya-centric" former Chief Minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee said.
"The explanations coming out from Kuala Lumpur is that Sabah and Sarawak will be accommodated in the second batch of ministers," said Yong, who is also the Sabah Progressive Party president.
"What this essentially means is that Malaya will form the Cabinet first. Borneo can join later," he said.
KOTA KINABALU, May 10, 2018: A new non-Umno era has dawned on Malaysia, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee said.
He said people have voted against BN-UMNO, the Prime Minister and unpopular policies like GST.
"These have overwhelmed other issues," Yong said in a statement late Wednesday.
"We shall fight to ensure that Sabah rights are not buried because this new era will see the unleashing of regional energies like what we have seen in other parts of the world leading to the empowerment of the regions," he said.
KOTA KINABALU, May 8, 2018: The two former Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) MPs had voted against the Territorial Sea Act 2012 although they did not have a chance to take part in the debate when the Bill was tabled in Parliament on April 18, 2012.
Former Sepanggar MP Datuk Eric Majimbun said he and fellow SAPP Parliamentarian Datuk Chua Soon Bui of Tawau voted against the legislation in a voice vote along with other opposition MP after about half day of debates.
"Chua and I clearly voted against it along with all the other opposition MPs," he said.
KOTA KINABALU, May 8, 2018: Claims that he has been "missing" in Kota Kinabalu for the past five years is amusing Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Datuk Yong Teck Lee.
"I live and work in KK. I have been attending functions, going to courts and police stations, going to my favourite coffee shops, driving around KK, dutifully paying my house assessment rates and parking fees," he said.
"And I know I haven't become invisible," Yong said when responding to DAP Chan Foong Hin's claims that he had been missing.
Foh Sang Ceramah on 7 May 2018 attracted crowd even after a heavy rain ... People from all walks of life came to listen to SAPP's Talk.
Our candidates delivered their speeches as the crowd of about a thousand responded with applauses and encouragement remarks.
To all our members, friends, relatives and supporters: please go early and cast your VOTE for none other than our Gabungan Sabah candidates...SAPP, STAR (Solidariti), Harapan Rakyat and PPRS.
KOTA KINABALU, May 8, 2018: SAPP Candidate for N.15 Api Api, Lim Kat Chung, today lodged a police report over an incident where one of his billboards was vandalized by some party with an intention to smear his character. He immediately went to inspect the place after one of his volunteer campaigners informed him of the incident.
Lim said such bad culture adopted by these unscrupulous people in Sabah is regrettable and should be avoided. Their evil motive of discrediting him is deplorable.

Room Parent and Committee Applications & Calendar Forms for 2012-13Posted Apr 19, 2012 | Category: Executive Board, Volunteering
This information was originally posted on April 19, 2012. Please note that the article refers to events from a previous school year.
Dear Central Parents,
What a wonderful year we have had! Now is the time to start thinking about the next school year. The 2012-13 PTO forms are now available for completion. We have some great news! As we continue to be as green as possible, we now have the ability to complete both the Committee Application and Room Parent Application electronically. No more figuring out how to get the completed documents back to school. We want to make volunteering in our school as easy as possible! The following 2012-13 forms are found below:
- Room Parent Letter (describes how you can help in your child's classroom) and Committee Application (lists and describes each of our PTO committees) – submit your information electronically for both the Room Parent Letter and Committee Application by Friday, May 4.
- District 96 Calendar Order Form (PDF or DOC) – Print out and return the completed form with payment to the PTO mailbox by Friday, May 4 (the calendar is accessible online at no charge);
- Fundraising programs flyer (PDF or DOC) – lists and describes Fundraisers sponsored by the PTO including our upcoming Auction on November 9.
We continue to encourage you to:
Get Connected, Stay Informed, and Get Involved!
All communications from the school and the PTO are via electronic mail, and information is disseminated in two major ways. The first is through E-Backpack sent from Principal Dr. Limperis every Wednesday. To receive weekly E-Backpack e-mails, you must subscribe by going to www.district96.org/central, where there is a sign up option located on the right hand column. Second, if you would like to keep apprised of upcoming PTO events and programs, subscribe to weekly "feedblitz" announcements at feedblitz.com. If you are a Facebook user, we encourage you to join the discussion on our Central Facebook page by liking us at www.facebook.com/CentralElementaryPTO.
We have so many ways for our Central families to get involved. Take a look through our long list of committees and there is sure to be something that will be of interest. We have lots of opportunities for parents who work outside of the home to get involved in addition to those who have more flexibility with their schedules. Getting involved is a great way to get to know our fabulous teachers and staff as well as other Central parents and their children.
Last, but very important are our Fundraisers. The money that we raise through our Fundraisers allows us to put on events like the Science Fair, Cultural Heritage Festival, Artist-in-Residence, Science in a Can and Family Fun Night! The attached document gives an overview of our planned 2012-2013 fundraisers… our largest being the Auction on November 9!
We look forward to serving as PTO Co-Presidents for the 2012-2013 school year. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have something to share.
