Rubber bollards are the perfect way of demarcating out of bounds areas or creating lanes in a number of different environments, including car parks, warehouses or even places like school or college premises. Easy to fix into place and ready for instant use, rubber bollards are an ideal addition for your car park and are ideal for creating laneways between cars or HGVs. In a warehouse type environment they are superb for separating forklifts from pedestrians and help to protect both the forklift itself and nearby assets like machinery and infrastructure.
Steel bollards v Rubber bollards - what do I need?
While steel bollards are excellent as a permanent fixture outside a shop premises or somewhere similar they do not offer much in the line of flexibility. Where most steel bollards will remain in a static position they are at risk of bending or breaking permanently if a serious impact with a vehicle occurs. This means that replacing them will be costly affair, as well as consuming time and effort.
With rubber bollards you have a post that will bend under impact, reducing damage to both the post itself and impacting vehicles. Here at Pittman rubber bollards are among our best-selling products overall and provide you with excellent benefits from the moment they're installed.
Pittman's Choice - Flexbrite™ Rubber Bollards
Here at Pittman we have an entire range dedicated to providing the best in rubber bollards. The Flexbrite™ rubber bollards are some of our best-selling products and are available in various colours and sizes, allowing you to easily choose the bollards you require. Each Flexbrite™ rubber bollard is made from tough polyurethane making them perfect for most environments. The tough, robust material makes them virtually indestructible when it comes to impact from cars and trucks.
What's more, each of the rubber bollards is fitted with reflective strips to ensure each one is quite visible in most environments, helping drivers and vehicles users to see the bollards in place at all times. With this high level of visibility these rubber bollards are ideal for using in car parks and warehouse where vehicles traffic is quite frequent, especially when it comes to HGV and forklift activity.
New to the Flexbrite™ Rubber Bollards Range
Here at Pittman we are constantly updating our product range and the rubber bollards are certainly no exception. Our latest additions to the rubber bollard range include the Flexbrite™ 110 and Flexbrite™ 70 rubber bollards.
Made from the same tough polyurethane material as the rest of the Flexbrite™ rubber bollard range, these posts are made to last under the most strenuous of tests and provide instant impact recovery benefits as mentioned before. With the 110 Rubber bollard you get a smaller 750mm high post as opposed to the standard 1 metre high post – the key difference is the 110mm width which offers you a wider, perhaps "chunkier" version of the bollard. The 70 rubber bollard is again a smaller 700mm high post with a 70mm diameter, making it an ideal substitute if you need a temporary bollard or need something installed on a short to medium term.
Need to attach chain between rubber bollards? Not a problem...
With the Flexbrite™ rubber bollards also comes the option of rubber bollard accessories. Once the posts are bolted down you can use the separate adaptor and chain eyes to link lengths of chain between different bollard to help block off larger areas - excellent for the likes of warehouse where you need to separate pedestrians and vehicles or even vehicles from stock or assets.
Are you in construction or property management? Get in touch with us!
Here at Pittman we pride ourselves on our vast rubber bollard range – with a selection of different bollards to choose from we can provide options that are made to last and provide you with the best in impact recovery and traffic management solutions.
Call us today on 020 3773 5397 or email us on firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on our rubber bollard range or any of our traffic and safety equipment.

Ability Testing: Uses, Consequences, and Controversies. Part I: Report of the Committee
Wigdor, Alexandra K., Ed.; Garner, Wendell R., Ed.
This document describes the theory and practice of testing; illuminates competing interests in a balanced fashion; and helps those who make decisions with tests or about testing to reach better-informed judgments. Part 1, the report of the Committee, presents a wide-ranging discussion of testing issues. The text has been kept largely free of the critical apparatus of scholarly literature. Chapters 1 through 3 provide an overview of the controversies surrounding testing, an introduction to the concepts, methods, and terminology of ability testing, a brief history of testing in the United States, and a discussion of the proliferation of legal requirements that have come to surround the use of tests. Chapters 4 through 6 describe test use for employment selection and educational purposes, point out common types of misuse, and make recommendations about how tests might be better used to preserve the integrity of the technology while at the same time responding to legitimate social, institutional, and individual goals. Chapter 7 takes a look at the limitations of standardized tests and then attempts to establish a sense of proportion by placing the controversy over testing within the context of the larger social currents that influence the course of national life.

Rizo v. Fresno County Office of Education
Pay equity is a matter of simple fairness. Yet in 2016 women who worked full time were paid just 80 cents for every dollar paid to men. When the gender pay gap is broken down across different populations, the numbers can become even more stark. Rizo v. Fresno County Office of Education highlights a significant underlying factor that contributes to the pay gap: employers' practice of relying on an employee's salary history to set new salary levels.
The Story behind the Rizo Case
Aileen Rizo worked as a math consultant for the Fresno County Office of Education (FCOE) in Fresno, California, training instructors in new ways of teaching math. Rizo was hired by the FCOE in 2009 after earning a master's degree and teaching for 13 years. She and her family moved from Arizona to California for her new position.
In 2012, Rizo says, a male colleague who had recently been hired mentioned that he had been placed at step nine on the county's 10-step pay scale. Rizo was shocked — she had been placed at step one on the scale when she began her job, even though she understood that she had more experience and seniority than her male colleague. Rizo says that after filing an internal complaint, she was told that the FCOE based new employees' salaries on just one factor: the employee's salary history. On the basis of the county's policy it seemed that Rizo's less-experienced colleague was given a higher salary only because he had been paid more at his previous job than she had been paid at her previous job.
Rizo eventually filed suit under the Equal Pay Act and California's sex discrimination statutes. The case was filed in the U.S District Court for the Eastern District of California in 2014 and moved through the judicial system. In April 2017 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit handed down an unfavorable decision in Rizo's case. A three-judge panel held that using prior salary alone to calculate current wages can be permissible under the Equal Pay Act as a "factor other than sex" if the defendant shows that its use of prior salary was reasonable and effectuated a business policy.
Rizo argued that using prior salary alone to calculate current wages perpetuates existing pay disparities and undermines the legislative intent of the Equal Pay Act, which is to address pay inequity based on sex.
Why Rizo Matters
Basing pay on salary history is one factor that can perpetuate the pay gap, precisely because women are typically paid less than men. But many people don't understand the domino effect that pay inequity can have on economic security Rizo's case sheds light on this important yet often unrecognized factor that contributes to the pay gap.
This unfavorable ruling magnified the need for strong state and federal legislation that eliminates the practice of using prior salary alone to calculate current wages. Federal legislation like the Paycheck Fairness Act, currently pending in Congress, addresses the "factor other than sex" affirmative defense of employers by forcing them to articulate a necessary business justification for pay differentials. The legislation also prohibits reliance on salary history during hiring. This legislation will help close the gender pay gap and promote economic security for women.
In the absence of such federal legislation, women like Aileen Rizo and AAUW continue to fight for equal pay in the states, through a broad range of research, policy, and legal advocacy. AAUW joined an amicus brief in support of Rizo's petition for rehearing en banc — in front of all the judges of a court rather than only a selected panel — and urged the Ninth Circuit to reconsider. In August 2017 the Ninth Circuit granted a petition for rehearing en banc and it was reheard with the full panel in December 2017.
On April 9, 2018, the Ninth Circuit held that using prior salary alone, as a "factor other than sex," or in combination with other factors cannot justify a wage differential, further reasoning that this would allow employers to profit on this inequity and perpetuate a gender wage gap in direct contrast with the intent of the Equal Pay Act of 1963.
AAUW will continue to support Rizo through our legal case-support program as her case moves through any further appeal.

Whilst piano is my first instrument, I've always loved to compose and arrange music. My earliest experience of Big Band writing was for the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. At the Royal Academy of Music, I studied composition and arranging including the Berklee Jazz method. Within a year of leaving the Academy I was working for a central London Jingle company as an in-house composer.
Since those early days, I've relished the challenges and opportunities afforded to me. I've done arrangements for UK Jazz singers including Tina May and Jacqui Hicks and for BBC Radio Big Band.
In July 2016 one of my orchestral arrangements was played by the Hallé at a Orchestral Latin Fiesta evening
My link with Roland has also allowed me to explore other compositional directions having written many built-in demo songs for the instruments. To hear examples of my music, please follow the 'Soundcloud' link.
There's also music scores to accompany many of these piano pieces I've written which you'll find on 'Scoreexchange'.

Last night, as I was waiting and hoping for the pain meds to kick in, all I could do was pray: "Thank you, Jesus." I know that Christ is allowing me the great grace to suffer with Him as I journey through Lent, for whatever reason. We know we must be purified from our sins, that we must recognize how much Christ chose to suffer for us, how much we must rely on Him. It's only in this recognition and our gratefulness for it that we allow Christ to work in us.
Thank you, Jesus.

Meerkats: they may not have quite as much personality as Nathan Lane imbued Timon with in The Lion King, but they certainly come close. Their expressive faces and social tendencies endear them to humans for being similar to us but also ridiculously cute.
But make no mistake: meerkats may be cute, but they are ruthlessly efficient when it comes to working as a team while foraging, burrowing or even waging war over territory with other meerkat clans. Catching a glimpse of them in the wild can be fascinating, so keep these fun meerkat facts in mind during your Kalahari safari trip.
Meerkats Are Only Found in the Kalahari and Namib Deserts
Meerkats are a unique species. While they belong in the Herpestidae family with mongooses, they are the only species in the genus Suricata.
They exhibit highly unique traits compared to other mongooses, as well, including an evolved social structure and a tendency to live in burrows. They also mostly live in one place on the planet: the Kalahari desert. They can also be found in parts of the Namib desert along the coast of Namibia.
Therefore, if you want to see meerkats, the best places to visit would be Botswana, Namibia or South Africa.
Meerkats Live in Advanced Societies
Meerkats live in family "clans" dominated by a matriarch and her male mate. Labor is divided among the adult meerkats when it comes to digging burrows, foraging for food, standing watch for predators, and even nursing the matriarch's pups.
One of the most notable of these duties is how several meerkats will act as sentries during the day while other members forage, play, or relax. These sentries will rotate, like people keeping watch. When a sentry spots a threat like a tawny eagle wheeling in the sky, they will bark out a specific warning call and send everyone scurrying back into the burrow. The drongo bird will even take advantage of this behavior by sounding a false alert when it can get a free meal.
Meerkats Have Highly Adapted Bodies
Adaptive traits of the meerkat include:
- Large eyes set at slight angles for great sweeping visibility as well as an acute sense of depth
- Dark circles around their eyes to reduce glare
- Large ears for excellent hearing and also to radiate heat
- Transparent third eyelids and an ability to shut their ears tight, both of which protect them during digging
- Long, slender bodies adapted for tunneling but also advantageous for keeping watch; strong hind legs and a stiff tail also help them stand upright
- Shovel-like claws for digging and snatching insects
- An immunity to scorpion poison at adulthood
- Thin-skinned bellies perfect for sunbathing when the meerkat wants to warm up
Meerkats Are Family-Oriented
Meerkat matriarchs only give birth to about four pups in a breeding season, so the entire clan looks after these pups to ensure their future survival. Some females will even help the matriarch nurse her pups by acting as wet nurses.
When meerkats sense danger, they will ensure that the pups are the first to flee. If they must confront threats, meerkat clans will place themselves in between pups and the danger to act as a shield.
One of the most surprising traits of meerkats, though, is how they can recognize individual's voices like we would recognize our siblings'.
Come See Meerkats on Your Kalahari Safari
You can book a trip for a Kalahari safari tour in Botswana or South Africa to get a wild and personal look at meerkats in their home habitat.

Tolay Lake Petaluma, Ca.
Today was another foggy morning here in Petaluma Ca., I was originally going to catch the sunrise on Tomales Bay in Inverness. When my alarm went off at 4:45am I checked the weather on my phone it was 45 degrees and foggy so I went back to sleep until 7am. I decided to head out to Tolay Lake which is a seasonal lake off of Lakeville Highway here in Petaluma Ca. if you have never heard of it you have to get a permit by attending a 1 hour class which goes over the do's and don'ts of the place. So off I went to Starbucks and a hike at Tolay when I got there it was completely fogged in which is actually quite nice for this place it just makes it so peaceful and quite.
There are 3 different trails that you can take out of the main parking lot I took the Cause way Trail which is a Levy thru the lake. I came across these guys when you first start on the trail.
After going down the trail a little further I seen a Hawk going back and forth across the the marsh he was obviously looking for food and he landed on a post on the fence line. I thought to my self how perfect but he was to far away from me to get a picture so I tried to creep up on him but he flew off dang it!! He landed on another fence post about 50 yards down and this time I tried my best to sneak up on him and it worked!!
After passing the Hawk the fog started to clear up a little bit but not much, there are cattle gates on the trail that you will come across and when you pass thru be sure to leave them as you found them. There are a lot of cattle on this old ranch and you need to be sure they stay in there designated areas. There was one little cow right on the edge of the trail and I didn't want to startle her so I stayed to the far left of the trail she had a few calves with her also. When I got up beside her she raised her head and looked at me she didn't care I was there so I had to take her picture.
I wanted to check out Three Bridges Trail supposedly you can see the Richmond San Rafael Bridge, Bay Bridge, Petaluma River Bridge at Highway 37 and supposedly you can see the top of the Golden Gate Bridge it would have to be a super clear day considering it is 32 miles away. I knew I wasn't going to be able to see anything because the fog was so thick, but I have never been on this trail and wanted to see what was there. This point in the trail about a mile from the main parking lot it starts heading up hill so it is a bit of a climb which is a nice change from the flat valley your in for about a mile or so. The trail winds up thru a wooded area and at this point I decided maybe I should turn around and head back I wouldn't see much at the top anyway due to the high fog layer I also forgot my water in the car. It was about a 2 mile hike on the way back I didn't notice passing by this lonely tree in the middle of the valley and there is this one cow eating under it. I thought to my self that looks like the best part of the bare pasture right under this tall tree.
This is only my second time being here and it was foggy last weekend as well but it doesn't ruin the hike it actually adds a very peaceful feeling. By this time I am thirsty and my feet hurt I wore a pair of boots because last weekend my friend Scott and I were out here and I wore tennis shoes and my socks were soaked due to the damp grass. I was back on the Causeway Trail this part of the trail is my favorite it has water on both sides of the trail and trees line both sides as well. While walking I noticed this huge bird flew out of one of the trees and flew out over the water I started taking pictures as fast as I could but I couldn't get him he was gone. I watched him fly way off in the distance and he started to turn back toward me and he came and landed in a tree about 50 yards from where I was standing. I was able to get some very nice shots of him while he was coming in for a landing!
That made a perfect ending to a perfect hike after seeing that!! I made it back to the car but my boots were covered in mud and I am driving my wife's car! There is a hose we discovered over by one of the barns the previous weekend so i went to clean my boots off and there was a Ranger feeding the chicken's and 1 rooster was sitting up on the fence crowing away! I love this place! If you have never been here it is worth taking the hour class and coming out. Hope to maybe see some of you out here.

What is it like to be a spokesperson for the EU Budget?
As a student in your last year of Multilingual Communication, you are bound to think more and more about your future job. Over the last few months, I have found myself thinking about thousands of options such as becoming a social media consultant, assistant in human resources or even a spokesperson. Well, why not? Becoming a spokesperson will definitely not happen overnight for an (almost) freshly-graduated student like me but I was still curious to find out what this job involves, aside from simply being an excellent communicator.
Mr Patrizio Fiorilli was very kind to meet with me at the Berlaymont. You might think that meeting the spokesperson for the European Union's budget made me nervous but Mr Fiorilli was very friendly and easy-going. You can tell that he has got a genuine interest in people and communication. Why meeting the EU's spokesperson for the budget? Budget is clearly not my field of expertise but I was rather impressed with Patrizio Fiorilli's rich professional background, which he modestly describes as "purely journalism and communication". After his studies at the ULB in Brussels, he moved to London to work as a journalist for the BBC World Service while being the UK correspondent for various French and Belgian media. Then, he wanted to become a communication consultant to be "on the other side of the fence" and to help big companies improve their communications. Before becoming the spokesperson for Budget and Financial Programming at the European Commission in 2010, he also worked as a press officer and a communication director, while teaching communication at the Institut des Hautes Études de Communication Sociale (IHECS) in Brussels.
What encouraged him to become a spokesperson was simply curiosity. He certainly misses a few things from his previous jobs but "it is great to be involved in the decision-making process and to defend a position." What about his way of communicating in everyday life? Has it been influenced by his job as a spokesperson? He answers that it is not linked to his job as a spokesperson but rather linked to his professional career in communication. "You are taught that the first principle in communication is to adapt your message to the audience. That is what we do – all of us – every day in every single context."
Some people have got a negative picture of the European Union's budget, its purpose and the ways it is used. Other people simply do not understand it. If he needs to describe the EU budget to an ordinary citizen, Patrizio Fiorilli uses a very simple yet effective metaphor: "Imagine there are 28 houses next to each other, facing a river. Rather than each of the households building their own little bridge to cross it and you would then end up with 28 bridges […] they put the money together to build one single bridge that will be much stronger and much cheaper, more convenient […] and that is what the EU Budget is about."
Another thing that encouraged me to get in touch with Patrizio Fiorilli is the fact that he also works in a multicultural environment, which makes him the perfect interviewee for a student who aspires to work in a multilingual environment. When you work in a multicultural institution, one of the first things to keep in mind is that "whatever you will say or write will end up being translated. Therefore, you have to be really careful in terms of wording." After all, "keeping simple is the second rule of communication, whether it is multilingual or not".
As if his professional background was not impressive enough, Patrizio Fiorilli also proves he has got a solid general knowledge and a soft spot for literature. A while ago, he actually started a blog where he publishes short stories in French. He has been interested in literature from a young age and thinks that "rather than letting sheets of paper rot in a cupboard, just let them rot on the Web because it's safer", he adds laughing. "It is also a way to escape and create lots of different characters and situations".
As the 15 minutes were getting closer and closer, I asked him whether he would advise someone to become a spokesperson. According to him, some people are just not spokesperson-material, no matter how smart they are. Communication is more than science, "it is about feeling and instinct" and involves other aspects as well such as psychology, sociology and many others. One thing he insists on is that journalists need to teach something new to their readers or viewers. But in order to do so, a journalist will need the spokesperson to convey a clear and concise message, summarised in words that ordinary citizens would understand. The first thing defining a spokesperson is "the notion of service". Spokespersons are there to help journalists do a good job and promote their employers' interests and views. Which is why he adds that "at the same time you are on a boxing ring with the journalists because you have not got the same agenda". All in all, "it is like a Rubik's Cube challenge, it is fun", he adds smiling. I, for one, am convinced. Aspiring to become a spokesperson is now officially on my list.

Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia
Resort Guide 2018: West #3
|Average Snowfall
Sixteen big bowls scallop across snow-kissed alpine heights. Vistas are majestic, punctuated by glaciers, crags and spires. The skiing seems to go forever—two hulking mountains, 8,150-plus inbound acres, and one mile of rise. "It's big! No, it is huge! No, it is massive!" While North America's largest and most visited ski resort offers heaps of attributes and entertainments, this signature pairing of exceptional natural beauty with expansive and diverse skiing remains the heart of its appeal. "A skier's dream!" Whistler's other amenities—from fresh waffles in a mountaintop hut to Basque tapas in a cosmopolitan bar, and from indoor axe throwing to a Scandinavian
spa in the woods—are all bonus. "Whistler has it all." "Even if you don't ski, there is too much to do." "Great apres!" "Great nightlife and events." "Great kids programs." "Great vibe." "Great service." The eternal downside is the mercurial weather, which brings 38 annual feet of snow but can yo-yo from perfect powder to glop to serious hardpack. "Your timing has to be good for the best conditions." "When the clouds roll in, visibility can get dodgy." "It can rain." Newer downsides come from the resort's year-round buzzing popularity. "Parking is difficult." "Hotels show wear." "Traffic backed up for miles." The impact of Whistler Blackcomb's new corporate owners, Vail Re- sorts, remains to be seen, but some things here will never change: "A sunny day here is pure heaven." And "no resort makes you a better skier."
What's New
In case you've been living under a rock, Vail Resorts now owns Whistler Blackcomb, which means the Mountain Collective pass is out, but the Epic Pass, with all its reciprocal resorts, is in.
Bragging Rights
Hike up and over Blackcomb's Spanky's Ladder to the serious expert terrain of the Gemstone Bowls. Go with a guide if it's your first time.
Breakfast Nook
The Dirty Bowl or a bacon-maple doughnut at Portobello.
Don't Miss
Whistler Mountain's new year-round Peak Suspension Bridge hovers in thin air over the heights of Whistler Bowl, spanning 1/10th of a mile and proffering 360-degree views.

Could Seattle Mariners slugger Nelson Cruz get some time in the infield in 2018?
In a vague Instagram post on Wednesday morning, Cruz posted a video of him fielding a ground ball at first base with the message "Versatility is important." He tagged the Mariners' official Instagram page in the post.
In 1,425 games over 13 seasons, Cruz, 37, has never played in the infield. He's played 998 games in the outfield (877 of those in right field), while his other appearances have been as a designated hitter, pinch hitter or pinch runner.
Last season, Cruz was the Mariners' designated hitter for 147 games. He hit .288 with 39 homers and led the American League with 119 RBIs. He was an All-Star, won his second Silver Slugger and won the Edgar Martinez Award as the league's top DH.
But at his age and with his history of leg injuries, a move to the infield would seem to make sense. It would also help the Mariners out if Cruz could back up projected starter Ryon Healy at first.
Could it happen? Who knows. But keep an eye out in spring training for Cruz and where he's playing.
Pitchers and catchers report Feb. 14 for the Mariners. The full squad is due in Peoria, Arizona, on Feb. 20.

A video posted by C&H Precision's Buck Holly shows his 4-year-old daughter working the action on a .223 rifle, then staring through the scope, steadying her aim, and pinging the target downrange.
After hitting the first shot, Holly's daughter pulls back the bolt to load another round, closes the action, stares through the scope and pings another target.
Holly's daughter–Noah–was shooting a PRS Tac Rifle in .223 and Holly can be seen holding his hand on the rifle throughout the process. This was clearly done to help Noah steady the gun and to be sure it remained pointed downrange.
Regardless of his obvious efforts to be sure it was a safe shooting and learning experience, the Daily Mail reports that some took to Facebook to express their disagreement with Noah shooting the gun. One such person–Daina Souter–wrote:
I'm all for teaching kids to be safe with guns and to know how to behave around them, but if they're too young to eve hold the gun properly then they're too young to shoot it in my opinion. Yes, he's teaching her the right things, but if something goes wrong and the gun kicks or misfires and she's not holding it right because she's so small…
Souter must not have noticed that A) This is .223 (not a lot of kick involved) and B) the father has his hand on the gun the entire time, eliminating the possibility of it kicking back (even if such kick were possible with a .223).
There were others who complained as well, and Holly responded to all of them by saying:
I would invite each and every one of [my critics] to come to the range with me and my family and participate in it. See how things really happen. They got to see a 30 second snippet of a little girl shooting. What they don't see is the preparation that goes into it. They don't see her asking and begging for more ammo. So I would tell my critics, feel free to criticize me. That's our lifestyle. But before you criticize, come and try it and experience it for yourself.

|TREATMENT DEVICE - A treatment device according to the present invention includes: an elongated sheath having flexibility, the sheath being passed through an endoscope and introduced to an object to be treated; an incision knife section disposed approximately along an axial line of the sheath around an outer periphery at the distal end thereof, the incision knife section being used for incising tissue of the object to be treated; and a rotation-torque-transmitting section extending from a proximal end of the elongated sheath maneuvered by an endoscopist to an intermediate section of the incision knife section in the axial line direction, the rotation-torque-transmitting section rotating the sheath by transmitting rotation torque input at the proximal end of the sheath.
|Articulating tool with improved tension member system - The invention provides surgical or diagnostic tools and associated methods that offer improved user control for operating remotely within regions of the body, and improved methods of assembling the tools. In some embodiments these tools include a proximally-located actuator for the operation of a distal end effector, as well as proximally-located actuators for articulational and rotational movements of the end effector. Control mechanisms and methods refine operator control of end effector actuation and of these articulational and rotational movements. The articulation mechanisms comprise pairs of links, one link distal and the other proximal, configured such that movement of a proximal link is transferred to the distal link by way of tension bearing members. Embodiments of the invention include a guide for such tension bearing members that facilitates assembly of the tool. Embodiments also include improved methods for attaching tension bearing members to the links. The inventions disclosed herein may also be used with articulating devices outside of the surgical and diagnostic fields.
|Method and Devices for Minimally Invasive Arthroscopic Procedures - A surgical device is provided, the device having a tubular outer body member with a handle at its proximal end and a flexible distal end segment extending from its distal end. The surgical device also has an operable end extending from the distal end of the flexible distal end segment. The device is configured for selectively causing the flexible end segment to bend to adopt a desired curvature and for selectively rotating the operable end relative to the flexible distal end segment about an axis of the flexible distal end segment.
|ENDOSCOPE AND ATTACHING METHOD OF CONNECTION MOUTH RING TO END OF ENDOSCOPIC FLEXIBLE TUBE - An endoscope includes a flexible tube having a helical tube in which a thin strip plate is helically wound, a braid tube covering the outside of the helical tube, and a flexible outer tube covering the outside of the braid tube, a connection mouth ring plastically deformed and fixed to an end of the flexible tube, and a helical tube displacement preventing portion which prevents displacement of the strip plate of the helical tube at the end of the flexible tube to which the connection mouth ring is fixed, when the connection mouth ring is fixed to the end of the flexible tube.

Understanding and Responding to Dissociation: Part 1
Dr. Diane Langberg, clinical faculty member of Biblical Seminary, author, and practicing psychologist speaks current and future counselors about the experience of dissociation and the process of "leaving." She explains how self-injury may be common during dissociation. Near the end of this portion of the lecture, Dr. Langberg gives some guidance to counselors on how to help their clients recognize the subtle steps of dissociation. Stopping dissociation is a necessary skill for the client to stay safe and to not relive past traumatic experiences.
One Comment
This was very helpful. Thank you! I was diagnosed with PTSD about two years ago and have been working with a counselor through the local r*pe crisis program. I do dissociate, though it seems a little different than described here and don't typically remember the time I lost while dissociated. Those observing me describe agitation to the degree that the counselor believes I am having flashbacks during the times of dissociation. I don't know as I can't remember…
She has tried EMDR, but the moment it starts, I start having a flashback and can't do it. On the whole, I am making a LOT of progress, but I still don't want to remember the past. There are many large gaps and I don't want to know what is in them. I want to be whole without knowing and remembering everything. Is that possible?

Sally Farnham and her husband Alex have just inherited and moved into an old Victorian house left by Sally's grandparents. Everything's pretty cool except for one room for which there isn't a key. Turns out the locked room is a basement with a fireplace, which Sally would like to use. Old Mr. Harris, the handyman who is helping to renovate the house and who has had previous experiences in the house tells her not to do such a thing. Too bad Sally doesn't listen, as after she opens the fireplace, she begins to see and hear things in the dark.
Growing up, one of the films that influenced genre fave Guillermo del Toro was the 1973 TV film DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. According to him, the film was the scariest thing that he'd ever seen on TV. Even the case for the DVD proclaims that the film is "quite possibly the best made-for-TV horror movie ever." While I'm not quite sure that I'd go that far in heaping overzealous praise for the late John Newland film, there's something to be said when years later, the film gets put through Hollywood's wacky remake machine and out comes a film starring Guy Pearce and Katie Holmes. So, what does the original do to back up these claims?
For starters, despite being a made-for-TV film, we get a rather creepy atmosphere going rather quickly with a dimly-lit house that plays all sorts of games with viewers' imaginations. The creatures themselves -- actors in some pretty ugly Halloween masks and speaking in hushed voices -- add to the creepy feelings, peering out from behind things like potted plants and scurrying about on oversized sets. It also helps that we don't get a good look at just what these little guys look like until well into the film, leaving the shadows to do those wonderful things with our heads. The scene involving Sally taking a shower as the little trolls creep up on her with a straight razor is one of the most unsettling moments in the film. The film's conclusion keeps the unsettling feeling as well, and is totally not what you'd expect from a film of the era. Kudos to you, John Newland!
As for the acting, Mattie Ross was only four years removed from doing TRUE GRIT with John Wayne, and despite the horrible 70s hair, does an okay job along with everyone else. As for her husband played by the late Jim Hutton, today he's what you'd call a massive prick. You see, this film was made before folks started coming around to the idea that women were pretty awesome and not crazy when it came to certain things (like trolls skulking around in the dark trying to kill you). Instead of trying to talk to Sally, Alex blows it off as her overactive imagination and thinks that she should see a doctor. The film also briefly touches on the couple's marriage difficulties, but doesn't make the sympathy for Alex as deep as it is for Sally.
Yes, the film's era is apparent, and also makes it easy for criticism. This isn't what you'd call a timeless film. The look of the hairstyles and clothing and attitudes are dated and took me out of things. Adding to that was the film's obvious corniness and the forced script. At no point during the film does anyone try to get Sally out of the house. In fact, at one point, Sally has her bags packed and ready to go, but an "are you joking?" moment keeps her in that damn house. Oh yeah, and that moment where the trolls go to attack Sally while she's in the shower? The little guys shut off the lights. So what does Sally do? Finsh her shower, of course! Granted, I'd do the same thing, but not when I'd been seeing little people pop up throughout the house freaking me out.
So, is DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK the best made-for-TV horror movie ever? Not really. The film is obviously dated and the acting isn't outstanding. But then again, it's not terrible, either. The film also boasts some great creepy moments involving the creatures and the setting, which although clich�d nowadays, is still effective here as it was back then. See the film for a creepy good time and a primer for the remake, don't hire an interior decorator, and listen to your handyman.
Video: DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK was released a little over a year ago with a craptacular transfer (indicating how much Warner Bros. initially cared), so it's quite a surprise when this new disc sports a rather impressive 1.33:1 fullscreen transfer. Cleaner, more colourful and brighter than the original, this new transfer still has its fair share of print damage that while isn't a big concern is noticeable. Still, it looks pretty good for a made-for-TV film from 1973.
Audio: Being that this film is from the early 70s and was broadcast on television, it's not much of a shock with the quality of the film's Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono track. Some of the voices on the track are a bit muffled at times with some hissing found throughout the track itself. Still, this is probably as close to the original broadcast as you can get.
Whereas the original DVD was a bare bones affair, this new disc comes with a sole extra: an audio commentary with Dread Central's Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, screenwriter Jeffry Reddick and Fangoria's Sean Abley. The track is sort of a MST3K affair with a few serious insights into the film and its popularity mixed in with the trio poking fun at the cheese on the screen. All joking aside, it would've been nice to have had someone associated with the film itself doing a separate commentary or mediating the three guys (like producer and co-writer of the remake, Guillermo del Toro), but this is still a fun commentary. Just don't expect a wealth of information on the film's history.
Dated but still able to evoke those not-so-nice feelings of unease, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK is a nice slice of made-for-TV goodness that can be seen as either cheese today or something that stands out from what you'd normally see on TV back then. The commentary caters towards the cheese factor more than anything, so you'll have to research the film on your own to glean some of the good trivia.

Airborne Troops, World War II
In reply to:
US Airborne Divisions WWII
Chris 11/05/01
Parachute troops were originally organized in battalions but later expanded to form regiments. Parachute and glider infantry regiments were organized in the same manner as ground infantry regiments (see Message #4717). Airborne divisions were organized generally in the same manner as infantry divisions - three regiments of infantry, each alloted a battalion of field artillery in direct support with another battalion in general support of all three.
Prior to 1 March 1945, an airborne division generally was assigned two glider and one parachute regiments. Effective that date, the configuration was changed to one glider and two parachute regiments.

A new global study of newspaper coverage of children finds that nearly one-third of the articles about them portray them as victims.
That was by far the largest category of stories about children in the study, which was produced in a unique cooperative project between newspapers and schools worldwide. The researchers were children themselves.
The study was conducted this spring, when 70 classes from 24 countries studied newspapers daily for one week and categorised all the news articles they found about children. The Belfast Telegraph was one of the participating newspapers.
Children were portrayed as victims in nearly one in three of the stories examined. The second largest category was "children in schools", which included nearly one in five stories.
Other categories include "children are brilliant", with 17 per cent of the stories, followed by "children in politics" (10 per cent), "children as wrongdoers" (8 per cent), and "children helping others" (4 per cent).
"The responses to the study remind all those who work for newspapers that children are as diverse as their adult counterparts and that much remains to be done to satisfy their newspaper needs," said the report's author, Magne Raundalen.
"The finding that almost one-third of stories related to children as victims supports previous findings and provides a reminder that coverage of children may easily become focused on limited issues," Raundalen said.
The study was conducted for the World Association of Newspapers in its Newspapers in Education Development Project.
A summary of the report can be found at www.wan-press.org.

The goal of the SWEEP program is to fill the gap between underserved populations and quality Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy
Services. The program will benefit these populations while providing an opportunity for early social workers to gain valuable
social work, entrepreneur, cognitive behavioral supervision and earn hours toward the LCSW licensure.
Please read carefully if you are interested in this program
The major area of focus are the following:
1) $50 cost per therapy session with a sliding scale fee structure for the client.
2) CBT supervision - valuable supervision toward becoming an expert cognitive behavioral therapist. Earn supervision hours toward
LCSW, and grow within a cohort of fellow social workers (8 social workers per group). The supervision will be a group
supervision face to face or via internet conference. 1.5 hour per week for 3 weeks in the month. The forth week will be training
3) CBT and ACT training - Supervision would provide most of the CBT and ACT training, however 1.5 hour per month there will
be a mandatory CBT, ACT or other training session conducted face to face, or via internet conference.
4) Sales and Marketing training - The sales and marketing portion of SWEEP will provide valuable training on how to reach the
underserved population, how to market via social networks.
5) Access to psychotherapy office - The program will provide elegant psychotherapy office space for psychotherapy sessions
in one of 2 locations (Wall St, Midtown).
Social Worker Responsibility:
This program offers no financial compensation to the social worker, and no cost to the social worker for supervision or training. The social worker will be part of a cohort of 8 that will grow together and become competent clinical social workers. Once their tenure is completed, they will be able to take their clients with them and start their own private practice should they choose to do so.
Interested New York State Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSW) are encouraged to apply to the Social Work Entrepreneur Program -
Each of my classes are taught as workshops. Psychotherapeutic theories are one thing, but practice is another. I emphasize practice in my classes. Role-plays, process recordings, and audio and video recordings are common as time allows. Presentations on assessment, conceptualization and interventions on various types of disorders within different cultures are also common in my classes. Each student is required to learn how to conduct a peer counseling session that covers the ABC's of REBT.
ABC's Peer Counseling Session
A - Activating Event 1) Identify activating event
B - Beliefs 2) Identify emotion and behavior
C - Consequences 3) Identify belief
D - Disputation 4) B - C connection
E - Effective New Philosophy 5) Goal of session
6) Dispute belief
7) New rational thought
8) Homework

59 Your everyday food should be healthy, and that consumption of foods such as fries, cheese and burgers can actually lead up to certain problems like heart diseases and clogged arteries as a result of continually consuming foods with high amount of unsaturated fats. Yet, the good news is that there are now so many fast food chains that are offering items on their menu that are healthier alternatives to unhealthy foods like Yevo mlm . What should be done is that if you are eating and picking salad in the food item that you have chosen in the fast food chain, you must keep it away from the sauces and dressings as it will just make the food unhealthy. If you want that you see for yourself that there is a great change to happen into your life, then you must try out shifting your fries and wedges diet into consuming canned fruits as well as apple chips so that you will be able to feel the great change to happen into your life. You will certainly see that you have good digestion if you are regularly consuming food items such as natural fruits and vegetables, because these foods are so rich in fibers and nutrients which will make you enjoy a healthy way of life, this is a positive step for you to go to, and if you keep it up you wil surely not be turning back to eating unhealthy foods.
Diet, exercise and a support network are the main focus of those who follow the weight watchers diet. There are support groups that hold regular meetings which supporters can attend physically or online. Online or not, support and education are not lacking for weight watchers dieters.

Alternative rock
The term alternative rock or alternative music1 was coined in the early 1980s to describe bands which didn't fit into the mainstream genres of the time. A catch-all phrase for modern rock and similar genres, it includes indie, post-punk, hardcore punk, Gothic rock, college rock and New Wave bands. However, most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to punk, which laid the groundwork for underground and alternative music in the 1970s. Though the genre is considered "rock" it is heavily influenced by folk music, reggae and jazz music amoungst other genres. Notable alternative bands of the 1980s include R.E.M., Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, the Replacements and Husker Du.
