Many forget that procedures were put in place to prevent a loss of control of a process, or if a regulatory driven requirement to use a procedure, a perceived risk of loss of control of the process. With that concept in mind, we can see in the image above that procedures are a lower and less reliable control in the mistake-proofing hierarchy and that it requires more external quality control assessments and observations.
But this article is not about how much quality control is needed to ensure that workers use a procedure as written to prevent mistakes. Instead, this article is about when workers make a mistake when they followed the mistake-proofing procedure as written. If a procedure is already at a weak level of control, how is it that an issue with writing of, auditing of or use of an ineffective procedure was allowed to exist?
To clarify how TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis defines a procedure, we look at the intent of how it is used and not necessarily what it is called. If a list of steps on how to perform a task is written down and must be read and followed while performing the task, it is a procedure to TapRooT®. For example,
- A metal placard on how to set up the lathe that you require the operator to read every time for set up is a procedure.
- The SOP for putting on your seatbelt listed in the car manual that you only reference occasionally to successfully put your seatbelt on is NOT a procedure.
Not every task needs a procedure as TapRooT® defines so why is this distinction about procedures and non-procedures important? Simple….
.. if the task to be performed cannot be done out of sequence and a step is so critical not to miss and the steps are too numerous to remember successfully, that procedure better meet the needs of the task and the worker.
You must assess the worker's knowledge and the tools required to be used during the task as it relates to the procedure in use.
Years ago I was asked to analysis a quality defect that occurred on a large product assembly line after workers had cut off too much material. Initially management thought that the two assemblers did not follow the procedure as written and wrote them up per the discipline policy. After further analysis however, the assemblers did use it as written, but the procedure as written did not fulfill the successful implementation of the task. By the way, this procedure had been in use for years. How??
Procedure related root causes identified for why the assemblers cut off too much material from the product while assembling it using the procedure as written were:
- Details Need Improvement – The procedure stated to install a cutting tool but never identified that shims had to be put in plus to center the cutting tool into the assembly prior to cutting the excess material off. The person who did this task for 20 years had just retired and the task was given to two experienced assemblers new to this task.
- Graphics Need Improvement – The picture of the access opening with the tool placed in it included no indication of centering nor any measurements.
There was another root cause that was not due to how the procedure was written but tied to the tool that was specified to be used:
- Tools/instruments Need Improvement – The cutting tool cutouts never perfectly aligned to the access opening in all areas of the assembly. The long term assembler would always use the tool up to a point and then cut by hand using his own measurements and skill.
This then made us look at our audits and tool calibration as this tool and procedure had been inspected numerous times throughout the years but never at the task level. Your take home today:
.. if the task to be performed cannot be done out of sequence, and a step is so critical not to miss, and the steps are too numerous to remember successfully, that procedure better meet the needs of the task and the worker.
If you want to see examples of other poorly written procedures and want to learn how to assess and correct this procedures at the task level, join us at an upcoming 5-Day TapRooT® Advanced Root Cause Analysis Team Leader Training Course.

After reading your article, I think you need to clarify a couple of issues. First, what you are describing are not procedures. They are work instructions. Procedures detail what a process is, while work instructions detail how to do a process. One is general, while work instructions are detailed and follow a step by step process.
Also, the situation you are describing is a glaring example of companies not cross training their employees. As a consultant who has written hundreds of procedures manuals, there are several problems I have noticed. Processes change, but procedures do not once they are written. Employees are not cross trained to complete numerous tasks, and management does not do a very good job identifying employees' talents or their shortcomings. If there is one foremost issue I see in almost all medium-small companies, it is the lack of management investing in training. I have written an article about this, which was published in an association newspaper.

Great feedback. The definition of what a procedure is varies a lot.
To clarify how TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis defines a procedure, we look at the intent of how it is used and not necessarily what it is called. If a list of steps on how to perform a task is written down and must be read and followed while performing the task, it is a procedure to TapRooT®.
The example I gave in the material trim example matches the definition above. The workers read it and followed it step to include inspection hold points.
I agree whole heartedly on your additional comments.

Do you anticipate any issues with ISO 9001-2015 and the switch to "documented information" from "procedures"? as there is no requirement in the revised standard for documented procedures. Thank you.

"Do you anticipate any issues with ISO 9001-2015 and the switch to "documented information" from "procedures"? as there is no requirement in the revised standard for documented procedures. Thank you."
In response to the question above, it could help or hinder. "Documented information" can pick up all types of documents and require them to be concise and accurate globally. Not distinguishing between type of documents and their intent could cause issues at the task level for employees.

That same mist looms I only see what's close. This empty room is filled with ghosts. So far I'm alright, push me over because I don't want the sight of my failures getting closer. I'm never too far off but I'm still gripping sand. I am so far lost, please send me a steady hand. Missing's a custom, stay away (x2). You shied me off forget me (x2). When they poke at the remains, they don't fight back. Let it grow to the grain of feeling that lack. Missing's a custom, stay away (x2). You shied me off forget me (x2). Those handsome days let shine those gruesome grays now mine. I forgot to say the fine parts of my life were spent skipping stones that's value's has never been known, now it's little less than a dime in the fountain that spits wishes unanswered.

Essex County Councillors have been campaigning against Tory cuts to street lighting. Partnightlighting has been hugely unpopular and has led to rising concerns about public safety.
Harlow, Tendring and Colchester Councils have all budgeted for the street lights to be switched back on all night but the Tory led County Council has so far failed to switch them back on even though these local councils have agreed to pay ECC to do so. Your Labour Councillors will continue to fight for partnightlighting to be scrapped. We even took the campaign to parliament but so far our pleas are falling on deaf ears.

Healthy Heart
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do" (Proverbs 4:23 NLT)
Fun Heart Facts1:
The average adult heart beats 72 times a minute; 100,000 times a day; 3,600,000 times a year; and 2.5 billion times during a lifetime.
A kitchen faucet would need to be turned on all the way for at least 45 years to equal the amount of blood pumped by the heart in an average lifetime.
Every day, the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles. In a lifetime, that is equivalent to driving to the moon and back.
Not so fun heart facts2:
Heart disease and stroke take 1 in 3 Canadians before their time. They are the #1 killer of women- taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined.
Only 13 percent of women view heart disease as a health threat, even though it's women's No. 1 killer
Sixty-four percent of women who died suddenly of coronary heart disease had no previous symptoms
Prolonged lack of sleep can cause irregular jumping heartbeats called premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).
Take the Pledge to honour your heart for this month.
I'd love to hear which pledge(s) you would like to take:
A. I pledge for the month to be aware of what I am eating and how it makes me feel
B. I pledge for the month to not eat any diet products loaded with fake sugars and fat
C. I pledge for the month to consume two raw green vegetables per day, here's what helps me!!
D. I pledge for the month to avoid all fast food and take-out food
E. I pledge for the month to not eat any processed foods
F. I pledge for the month to exercise at least 10 minutes per day
G. I pledge for the month to explore one heart healthy fat and incorporate it into my diet. For example, walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, coconut oil
H. I pledge for the month to trade out my sweets and replace them with raw or cold-pressed dark chocolate (the flavonoids protect against cardiovascular disease)
I. I pledge for the month to embrace the endless beating that my heart does for me and to show it gratitude by consciously breathing deeply for 5 minutes per day
Try a few of these heart healthy recipes.
Raw Broccoli and Raisin Salad3 is one of my favourite salads at a potluck but it is usually doused in mayonnaise and loaded with sugar. So let's add some nutrient dense choices to this wonderful salad and enjoy!
Instead of eating store bought chocolate with strawberry filling, sit back and enjoy this Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie. Only takes minutes to prepare but leaves you satisfied for hours!
Everyone loves kisses, try this Heart Kisses Juicy Juice and feel the love you are giving to your cells!

At some point in almost every game, Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis is hobbled on the sideline, receiving medical attention as he attempts to shake off another huge collision with a much heftier opponent. That pain comes naturally to those who carry the football in the NFL -- the talent that earned Portis one of the bigger contracts in league history last year -- but more often than not those injuries occur from performing less rewarding and more overlooked duties.
Portis's 27 carries for 136 yards during Sunday's victory in St. Louis captured headlines, but what had his coaches and teammates raving was his willingness to protect quarterback Mark Brunell on pass plays. The abandon with which Portis plays -- despite a frame listed generously at 5 feet 11, 211 pounds -- has won the respect of his bosses and peers. Portis might never come close to duplicating the eye-popping statistics from his two seasons in Denver, or run over defenders the way some featured runners did in Coach Joe Gibbs's Super Bowl backfields -- and his wacky costumed weekly news conferences surely rub some the wrong way -- but the desire and selflessness with which he plays have made him a favorite at Redskins Park.
"His second effort in the way he chases things and tries to help other people or what have you, I think it's rare," Gibbs said. "And it's phenomenal to watch him play like that and he plays so hard. He's a physical guy, and most of the time he comes across to you personality-wise as always joking about this or that, or saying he wants to get out of practice today or whatever, but his mentality once the game starts, he's an aggressive sucker, and he goes hard."
During his Hall of Fame career, Gibbs said he has seen few top running backs who are as willing as Portis to share the ball, block and do other things. The staff expects to lean heavily on Portis during these final four crucial games -- including Sunday's game in Arizona against the league's worst defense against the run -- and Portis said his body is better conditioned to withstand that load than it was last year, even after battling through a continued battering Sunday.
Portis was knocked out of last weekend's game after throwing himself in front of tackle Damione Lewis, a 6-foot-2, 301-pounder who, like Portis, attended Miami. Portis caught the wrong end of the contact in his cutback block -- "I'm throwing 210 [pounds] and [he's] 300, so you know it's going to be tough" -- then, after "clearing the cobwebs," he re-entered the game one series later. A week earlier, Portis delivered a massive blow to San Diego linebacker Steve Foley (6-4, 265 pounds), catching him on a pass rush and flipping him head over heels to the grass.
"He's a mean dude," Joe Bugel, assistant head coach-offense, said of Portis. "He'll attack you. You don't have to worry about him holding the flank and blocking for our receivers. I'll tell you what, he's the best without the football we've had. When he doesn't have the ball, he's a raving maniac, and you don't see that too much in the NFL."
Offensive coordinator Don Breaux said: "I've never been around a tougher person as a running back, and he does things no other backs in this league do. He's an excellent blocker, and he doesn't try to size up who he's going to hit, believe me. He doesn't just pick on DBs [defensive backs], he goes after anybody."
In October, Denver linebacker Al Wilson (6 feet, 240 pounds) sprinted untouched up the middle of the field, bearing down on Brunell, and Portis darted over and took the full brunt of the blow -- and was knocked from the game for a spell -- but allowed the passer to release the ball in good health.
"My bell is often wrung," said Portis, who adopted the character "Kid Bro Sweets" for yesterday's press gathering, including a yellow wig, rotten false teeth and gold, heart-shaped sunglasses. "It's just doing whatever it takes, man. I don't want Mark walking around here looking like this."
Some maintain Portis is not a great fit for Washington's power running game, but when he meets with running backs coach Earnest Byner each week to discuss his favorite plays, Portis invariably asks for more inside calls. Byner said the coaches have implemented four new outside runs involving cutbacks similar to what Portis capitalized on in Denver, but he is equally excited to run between the tackles and loves following H-back Mike Sellers as a lead blocker.
"Earnest brings the list to Joe and us each week and we try to accommodate them," Bugel said. "And believe it or not Clinton Portis likes the inside runs for some reason. He'll run the stretch plays good, but he likes isolation and meat-and-potato type plays."
Portis admits he wore down in the second half last season. He was not carrying as much weight and did not fully participate in the club's offseason workout program. Portis finished with 1,315 yards, but had a weak 3.8-yard average per carry, well below the NFL average and nowhere near his 5.5 average in Denver. Portis also scored just five rushing touchdowns, a third of his seasonal output with the Broncos.
"Last year, I think I was beat down," Portis said.
This season, he has averaged two fewer carries per game, and was spelled considerably more in the early months, with his workload growing as the weather has turned colder. Portis ran 29 times against San Diego and 27 times against St. Louis -- his highest totals of the season -- and is fourth in the NFC with 1,079 rushing yards, on pace to surpass 1,400. He is averaging a solid 4.3 yards per carry with seven touchdowns, and feels he is primed to peak down the stretch after bulking up considerably in the summer and averaging 115 yards in his past four games.
"From the beginning of the season, I've been enduring for this stretch," Portis said. "We've got four games left, and whatever is asked of me, I'm ready. Last year, I couldn't have taken this challenge. You notice my carries have been up the last few weeks and if it continues to go up or if it stays where they're at, I'm prepared for that."

WHAT the HELL is This?
that is a reed valve assembly to inject fresh air into the exhaust to burn off any unburnt fuel and clean out the emmissions. Its a PITA when the reed goes bad.
This feature is in new unique 2013 euro-ll model dont exactly know what it is!
think its the "PATTAKHA"the recent 125 is currently having built in,seems to be a created for that purpose
yes and its present in all chinese 70cc euro II bikes ...
OK…so it's a reed valve assembly so help un-oxidized pollutant fumes to burn with air fresh within the Silencer and emissions are cleaner and Euro-II Compliant.
Next Question arises…… why don't we see the same units on Euro-II Hondas and Suzukis.
It seems like a "afterthought"…A "jugaar" to make the bike Euro-II, not to mention it looks bad on a naked bike.
Its a Euro II emission controller, not really needed on such small engines dont know why they put it on a 70cc engine.
PATAKHA is not builtin in 125 ... Its an aftermarket thing ....
And when i asked from a local here regarding this device he replied 'Sir ye TURBO hay' hay and i was WTF!
Lolz turbo aysa nai hota ... M working on turbo project ma na to aaj tk aysa turbo nai dykha ....
lolxx... turbo ki chhunni to bari patli hai ...
i saw a 70cc engine with turbo that was something to look at, i wonder when the gear is shifted does it make that turbo sound which i hear in NFS lolx but honestly i wanna see a local bike with turbo wanna know how it works and all! if han1911 is working on it kindly post the thread link here.
[h=3]ma black beauty :)[/h]Its a highly modified 300cc naturally aspirated monster on Honda Deluxe Chassis.Engine on this particular bike has a Charade Piston and oversize and ported head.I've heard it redlines at 100km/hr in 2nd gear......insane right. Icing on the cake.........HAN now plans to install a turbo........ this guy is nuts!
let me add little more info regarding this... he is not the first one doing this... the mechnics chain whom he is getting help in this have a chain of satisfied "Racing" customers who are using these same mods in normal powerplus CGs.... last weekend we were on ring road again and one of the customer who is using modified CG power plus for a year now also came along han when we gather up on Ring Road .. his CG is still quicker then Deluxe which really bothers HAN ...
Hans goal is to beat the modified powerplus so he is going for turbo/Nos and other performance alternatives... but right not the bike is skitting in first gear so we have dumped the plan of testing further and going for wider tyres and rims e.t.c..
even he comes rarely on Pakwheels most of the time he is busy with the bike when ever i call him...
o fity mu on these theories ! moma boys should go for sports category to enjoy thrill !other day i saw a CD 70 with out engine i asked the mechanic where is engine he said its gone on alteration 30 k is being spent on its engine .i was like wtf is mae 4 cyl engine dal re ho !These bike are made for petrol averages every day use !
other day 1 of my friend did a project of gsxr 1200 engine in custom chopper ! that was project dam that exhaust this is a dum project!
this is called a project and sorry its GSXR 1100 engine in it with direct chopper pipe type exhaust
its pure piece of art every thing is custom made to perfection !
Thats one Seriously cool Chopper dude. Eventually a truly custom chopper in Pakistan.......RESPECT!What chassis is this?
Yep! modifying CG125 is not new...... Mechanics really know to play with these engines.
Love Story:A freind's freind had one such highly modified CG125....... It too had a Charade Piston and almost everything imaginable installed to make it fast.......It was a naturally aspirated engine........ I remember once I asked the owner how much has he spent on the modifications and he said.....in the course of 1 year he spent 1 lac rupees on modifications and tweaking. That Bike was fast..........That guy was almost killed in a road accident when he collided with a rickshaw on M.A Jinnah Road Karachi at 120km/hr....... He was unable to walk for 1 year. He gave up motorcycling after that.....
Chaddi 125......NO GOOD!Actually I'm a little against modifying CG-125....... actually let me re-phrase it.....I'm against how ppl modify CG125 in Karachi. They increase the power to make it fast...but pay no attention on larger brakes or wider tyres...... Infact some maniacs install narrower tyres to increase speed even further. Its not the right way to do it......and when I heard HAN is installing wider tyres and disc brakes it was a sigh of relief.

120 Malay Movies by Author by Amir Muhammad -- Matahari Books -- RM 60.00 (HB)
120 Malay Movies is a romp through the films that were made in Singapore and then in Kuala Lumpur from 1948 to 1972. (120 represents about a third of all Malay-language films during that period, and this book features most of the famous titles as well as some overlooked gems.) Malaysian writer and filmmaker Amir Muhammad watched them in chronological order and responds to the stories in his own contemporary context. How was the world depicted in those films different from the one we live in today? This book is a serio-comic interrogation into how the iconic fantasies of the past might have unexpected reverberations in the present.

Origin Broadband has announced plans to launch up to 100Mb services in South Yorkshire using the much-maligned Digital Region network.
The service provider is set to launch ultra-fast broadband deals in May 2012, giving customers in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield another fibre option.
Regarded by some critics as a white elephant, the EU-funded Digital Region initiative has struggled to generate a return on its estimated £100 million investment.
However, the launch of fibre broadband deals could help turn the project around and make it a commercial success.
Origin Broadband said it had undergone a complete review and restructure of its business to enhance operations for 2012.
"The Sheffield-based [broadband provider] has also upgraded its entire infrastructure, to enable the team at Origin to focus on delivering to their customers more efficiently and faster than ever before," it added.
Earlier this month, broadband provider LittleBigOne announced the launch of an IPTV service using the Digital Region network in South Yorkshire.

9 Pre-Date Grooming Moves You Should Be Making
Or, how not to ruin a date before it's even begun.
If you're meeting another human being, then congratulations! With umpteen dating apps to choose from, Netflix, food delivery, and porn as far as the eye can see, you've managed to secure yourself one-on-one time with another person and make it out of the house long enough to see it through. Good for you! Now all you have to do is not screw it up.
Easier said than done. From the second you say hello, there's nothing but obstacles standing in the way of you landing a follow-up date. Most of them are outside your control (how could you know "shrimp" was a trigger word?). That's why it's important that you control the things you can. Case in point: your pre-date grooming routine. By getting a proper one in place, you're removing one date-ending obstacle, maybe more. Here are nine tasks guaranteed to put your best self forward:
1. Shower (sans shampoo).
Yes, you should shower before your date. This is not optional. But what you might want to think about is forgoing the shampoo. While, yes, it'll make your hair smell great, shampoo will also strip follicles of their natural oils, leaving your mane especially susceptible to frizzing out and otherwise not looking its best. That would be the last thing you want on your big night, so wash your locks a day or two beforehand instead.
2. Get your skin in gear.
Besides the clothes on your back, your skin may very well be the first thing your date is going to see when you finally meet up. So you need to be sure that it has never looked better. Whether that means doing your darnedest to get rid of acne, hunting down blackheads with reckless abandon, or simply applying a touch of moisturizer is up to you.
3. Sit down for a trim.
Hear us out on this one. Now, a lot of guys would say that you should never get a haircut the day of, since you never know exactly how it'll end up. And frankly, we agree; besides being risky, a full-on haircut may come off a little try-hard to the person you're trying to impress. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't stop by the barbershop. This time, though, ask for a touch-up, specifically around your neckline, which'll make your 'do look fresh and new—even if it's been weeks since you last got a proper cut.
4. Clean up your beard, no matter how big or small.
Proud of the hair you've managed to grow on your jaw? Don't worry, we're not going to tell you to shave it. This is 2016, after all; we may very well be at peak beard. But what you are gonna want to do is tame the wild forest on your cheeks. The keys to doing so: scaled-back bushiness and a freshly shorn neckline. And if you need inspiration on that, you can look to Justin Timberlake.
5. Pay attention to down there.
Is it in any way certain that you're going to get lucky tonight? Not at all. But do you want to get caught with your pants down if you do? Also no. So it's not a bad idea to bust out the trimmer to get everything downstairs looking its best. Just do it a few days ahead of time—you need a time buffer to ensure the scratchiness subsides before the big day.
6. Prune the other odds and ends.
Ears. Nose. Brow. Back. If you are one of the unlucky men who is prone to growing wild, excessive hair in one of these places, it's in your best interest to get that situation under control before leaving the house on any given day, let alone a first date. In case you don't know where to start, here's a tutorial.
7. Yes, your nails are non-negotiable.
Like we said from the start, the key here is making sure you've done away with anything your date could find offensive, so you get an unimpeded shot at wooing. And though they might seem unimportant to you, who knows, maybe your date's got a thing about hands. So give your nails a clip and get rid of any gunk that may be residing underneath them. Hell, maybe even go get a manicure. It certainly couldn't hurt.
8. Get your sweat in check.
Here's a little-known fact about antiperspirant: For it to have its best effect, you should apply it before going to bed. This gives active ingredients the time they need to work before you need to face the day. So be sure to apply your stick or spritz of choice well ahead of time, so that you don't end up sweating through your shirt by the end of the date.
9. Freshen up.
When you meet up, do you shake hands? Hug? Try one of those awkward cheek kisses? If your date's whiffing a less-than-ideal odor coming from your mouth during any of the three, it's hard to bounce back. So use everything in your arsenal to make mouth stink disappear before heading out the door.

World History: A Tale of Communism
When it comes to the types of governments that have ruled countries in the past one hundred years there were two basic philosophies of rule, democracy and communism. For the later part of the 20th Century the countries that practiced each seemed to be in worldwide competition with each other to prove that theirs was the best form of government. This was known as the cold war and this essay is going to focus on the tale of communism and what it should mean and how successful it was in the end.
Communism Means
In the simplest sense, communism means that all people are equal in society. There are no longer any classes. This means that all forms of money are removed from individuals and they are given to the state and distributed in a manner that is going to take care of everyone equally. The first attempts at communism were in idealistic communities. These societies which were created on a small scale were considered Utopian societies in which people were looking for paradise. For each successful society there have been many that failed.
National Communism
On a national level, there were many countries that practiced communism. The former USSR was the most prevalent but their system ultimately collapsed due to economic problems. In theory the government gave people jobs and controlled the pay they received. This didn't make production more efficient. In fact it hurt production as people knew their performance didn't matter. Cuba is one of the only major countries in the world that still practices communism today, and they are failing as well. The major problems always seem to surround economic issues.
The Real Problem with Communism
This experiment rarely works in the long run because people are different and have different expectations of what they are going to experience. For example, if one person is doing more work than someone else, shouldn't he be entitled to more than someone else? If a person is smarter than aren't there going to be natural benefits that go to them? As people try to live in a society where all people are considered equal then production is an issue. How do you decide who does what? You can rotate chores but that isn't a very efficient use of manpower.
People are instinctually designed to do all that they can in order to gain more money, or the ideal mate, or to be successful. As people were pushed into jobs that the government guaranteed them, often the tasks had nothing to do with the abilities of the citizen filling it. Communism can be successful in the short term but it seems like it is doomed to be a long term failure because it doesn't allow people to thrive and pursue their goals and dreams.

If vaccines are safe, why has the US gov. paid out $3 BILLION to vaccine-injured families?
Vaccines are a very imperfect science, despite the good intentions of healthcare providers and parents seeking to protect their children from disease. Adverse, life-changing and deadly effects of vaccines are more common than ever. In fact, the US government has had to pay out over $3 billion to vaccine-injured families since 1986. Still think vaccines are safe?
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) lists several negative outcomes of vaccines. Many of these side effects are worse than the diseases these vaccines are for! VAERS reports that the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is "linked to febrile seizures, which are a type of seizure that occurs in infants and young children in association with fever." While these seizures hold no long-term consequences, they can be a frightening experience.
Worse yet, VAERS reports that a whole slew of vaccines, including MMR, varicella zoster, influenza, hepatitis B, meningococcal and tetanus "are linked to anaphylaxis." Anaphylaxis shock can lead to sudden death. Many of these cases are under-reported, filed as SIDS, or sudden infant death syndrome.

This page houses comparisons of Limbo of the Lost menu and interface art with other commercial products.
Age of WondersEdit
The journal in Lotl appears to be the spellbook from Age of Wonders.
The pause screen in Lotl appears to be using a gargoyle from Beetlejuice.
Diablo IIEdit
The Inventory screen in Lotl appears to be using the exact same border as the one from Diablo II.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle EarthEdit
According to these screenshots taken by a Neogaf poster, the main menu of LotL appears to use art assets from Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth. Note the similarities between the buttons and the menu bar pattern beneath them.
In addition, it appears that they are using the same font. Note that the notches in the R are in exactly the same location.
Also, the LotL chapter screens are taken from the loading screens of the game.
World of WarcraftEdit
The green border on the top of the screen in LotL appears to have been taken from Blizzard's World of Warcraft wallpapers.
Darkmere SignEdit
In the town of Darkmere, the player encounters a symbol on a door. In LotL, it represents a secret, evil cult. The developers did not design it, however. This symbol, the Bowl of Hygeia, is a typical symbol for pharmacies[1].
The Cursor (not from Black & White 2)Edit
The cursor in LotL has been said to be taken straight from Lionhead's Black & White 2. However, a closer look clearly shows that the cursors are not identical. Below are two comparison images, the cursors to the left are from LotL and the ones to the right are from B&W2. It is currently unknown if the cursor is stolen from another game, or if it's made by the developers.
The following images are awaiting research into their origins.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The good news is after today there will be no winter like precipitation, for the next five days. And after tomorrow's 37°, temperatures will be at or above normal in the mid 40's. In the extended outlook all is well, and pretty good!
But let's backtrack and talk the rest of this day. As of this writing at about 7:30 A.M. the radar is showing a break in mixed precipitation and rain. But the cold ground is already wet and we are getting reports of scattered icing. And that IS going to be the case until a bigger warm up into the 40's this afternoon. If roads are treated they should be okay, but that is not a total guarantee. We have had issues, big ones, on 83 North, The Harrisburg Expressway. And you know it had been "brined." Side streets could be quite dicy. Sidewalks for sure are going to be slick in many locations.
By mid-afternoon we should easily be in the mid 40's but that is still a few hours away.
Three ice events so far this year. And the trend of moist and mildish is the outlook for the rest of February. More ice events in the future maybe. We'll see.

Car mows down pedestrians at New York City's Times Square; 1 killed, 22 injured
A speeding car crashed into pedestrians on a sidewalk in New York City's busy Times Square on Thursday (May 18), killing an 18-year-old woman and injuring 22 others. Police said the incident did not appear to be an act of terrorism.
One woman was covered with a bloodstained blanket after the collision, which occurred around noon ET (midnight in Singapore on Thursday) at the Midtown Manhattan tourist venue.
Witnesses said the motorist had driven a red Honda sedan against traffic and onto the sidewalk, striking pedestrians. The car crashed into a pole and came to rest at 45th Street and Broadway before police took the driver away.
Donald Trump denies trying to quash Michael Flynn probe, any links to Russia
President Donald Trump denied trying to quash an FBI investigation of his former national security adviser and said there was no collusion by his campaign with the Russians who used hacking and disinformation to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.
"No, no – next question," Trump said when asked at a White House news conference Thursday (May 18) whether he pressured then-FBI Director James Comey in February to drop an investigation into former White House adviser Michael Flynn's dealings with Russia and Turkey.
He said it is "totally ridiculous" to think he's done anything that would amount to an impeachable offense.
Facebook wins dismissal of US lawsuits linked to terrorism
A federal judge on Thursday (May 18) dismissed two lawsuits seeking to hold Facebook Inc liable for supporting terrorist groups by letting them use its social media platform to further their goals, including violence against Jews.
US District Judge Nicholas Garaufis in Brooklyn dismissed a US$3 billion (S$4.2 billion) damages lawsuit by relatives of American victims of Hamas attacks, saying the federal Communications Decency Act regulating internet content immunises Facebook from liability.
That law "prevents courts from entertaining civil actions that seek to impose liability on defendants like Facebook for allowing third parties to post offensive or harmful content or failing to remove such content once posted," Garaufis wrote.
Brazil's Michel Temer refuses to resign over corruption probe
Brazil's President Michel Temer defiantly refused to step down Thursday (May 18) over allegations that he gave his blessing to payment of hush money for a politician convicted of corruption.
"I will not resign," he announced emphatically in a brief televised statement to the nation.
Less than 24 hours after an explosive report in O Globo newspaper that Temer was caught on tape agreeing to bribe the jailed politician, he faced three formal requests for his impeachment.
Tennis: Maria Sharapova granted Birmingham wildcard
Maria Sharapova has been granted a wildcard for next month's WTA grasscourt event in Birmingham, a key Wimbledon warm-up, organisers said Thursday (May 18).
It comes two days after the Russian former world number one was refused a wildcard for the French Open following her 15-month ban for doping.
Next month will see 2004 Wimbledon champion Sharapova, 30, play the Birmingham event for the first time in seven years.

This guide will provide you with a brief overview of the best beaches in Borneo. Choosing your seaside experience can depend on various factors, you may want to consider geographical location, snorkeling & diving opportunities and FCO advice. Here I give you an overview of the best beach options to help you make the right decisions for your Borneo holiday.
Borneo's beaches are mainly clustered in the eastern state of Sabah including Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park's beaches, Tajung Aru Beach and Shangri La Rasa Ria Beach near the major city of Kota Kinabalu. In the western state of Sarawak there is the rustic Permai Rainforest Resort with a wonderful private beach. Finally there are some incredible choices to the far east of Malaysian Borneo's coast. In this area of the island though we must consider FCO advice and factor in whether travel insurance will cover your stay in this region.

Sarawak Beach
Permai private beach
Located in Sarawak close to Bako National Park and Mount Santubong, Permai Rainforest Resort's private beach is rustic with a lovely desert island feel. Is is perhaps not ideal for sunbathers due to the boulders that dominate the shoreline. An insider's tip is to explore the waterfalls in the surrounding rainforest that have created a natural rock pool just before you reach the beach. It's a great place to wash off any salt and sand from the sea.
Sabah Beaches
Pantai Dalit Beach is surrounded by 400 acres of lush tropical vegetation making it the perfect location for beach and nature lovers. The hotel itself is host to numerous amenities, beautiful gardens, and is set right on a private beach making this option ideal for families. There are a vast array of places for food and drink in the hotel and you will not be disappointed by a sunset cocktail at the Sampan Bar.
6 kilometres south of Kota Kinabalu near the Shangri La Tanjung Aru is Tanjung Aru beach, a very local area with few tourists and an abundance of restaurants and food stalls in the evening all of a great variety. It's the perfect place to sample some of the local cuisine, our favourites being the fresh seafood, steaming bowls of Laksa and Roti Chenai. This is a great place to visit if you're looking to soak up everyday Bornean life.
Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park
A 15-minute speed boat from Kota Kinabalu, Gaya Island is largest of 5 islands with three great resorts – Gaya Island Resort, Bungaraya Island Resort and Gayana Ecolodge. The latter two share a beach, being sister properties, Gaya Island Resort has a rather magnificent setting on its own beach whilst also providing guests with access to a very secluded private beach at Tavajun Bay a short boat ride away. The sand here is a perfect white colour with crystal clear waters and an abundance of marine life. Here you can also explore Gaya's vast rainforest and visit the resort's own marine centre where incredibly knowledgeable naturalists can tell you all you need to know about the wildlife and conservation efforts of the area.
Other surrounding islands that are worth a visit are Manukan, Sapi, Mamutik and Sulug, all beaches that are lined with barbeque stalls teeming with activity, giving visitors a great glimpse into the local way of life. Gaya and Sapi are also excellent places for diving, with the calm surrounding sea being a great advantage.

FCO affected beaches
Sipadan, Mataking, Pom Pom, Kapali & Mabul Islands
East of mainland Borneo – in the Celebes Sea, these islands are host to some of the best scuba diving sites in the world. As part of the effort to conserve coral and marine environments, the government has limited the number of divers and snorkelers to Sipadan to 120 per day so the waters. This has kept the waters relatively tourist free. There has also been a government ban on accommodation since 2004 leaving the island with clean beaches and sea.
Dive resorts can be found boat ride away on Mabul Island, a diving destination in its own right. It is advisable not to stay in Semporna, the gateway to these islands, because it smells of fish and the beaches are fairly dirty. Do also note that, there has been an FCO warning in the region since 2014, due to its proximity to the southern Philippine islands. However, danger has now been reduced with a permanent military presence at all offshore islands popular with tourists. Be mindful that travel insurance will not cover you in this area at the moment.
Selingan Island (Turtle Island)
Nestled in the emerald waters of the Sulu Sea, Selingan Island has a rustic desert island feel with white sand beaches and shallow seas. The main focus of this beautiful island is the turtle rehabilitation centre and is one of the best places to see them in this region. It's an ideal place to spend one night and is a quick 1-hour boat trip north of Sandakan jetty. The island is however on the border of FCO warnings so this is something to keep in mind if visiting here.
Lankayan Island
A speedy 90-minute journey from Sandakan jetty, this island boasts beautiful views across the corals that surround the island resort. It is an excellent place for diving as the calm Sulu Sea makes it a good place for beginners as well as experts. Nestled on the beach are the chalets that have been hand-built from local materials with beautiful views out onto the ocean. Turtle viewing on the island is another bonus as there is large population that breed here. FCO warnings are also in place here so it is worth considering this before planning your trip.
Kalampunian & Kelambu Beach, Kudat
Nestled in the most northern tip of Borneo, these beaches are full of history having once been the most important trading post and capital of Borneo in the late 19th century. The surrounding areas are great for trekking, local fishing, exploring tribal long houses and mangroves. There are good villa options for families and whilst it may not be the most spectacular beach in the country, it is in a great location – perfect for soaking up some of the local culture and off-the-beaten-track experiences the area has to offer. This island also falls under FCO warnings so be sure to take this into consideration prior to visiting.

Over the years, I've been a drummer, bass player, signer in hardcore bands. I've been a writer and a poet for over a decade and then a painter as well. I've worked with canvas, razor blades, wood, plywood, coroplast, lines, splashes, blothces, silkscreen, stains…Sometimes I just throw paint at a canvas and see how I can get an emotion out of it.
A few weeks ago I was invited to try light painting by Eric Paré and it turned out to be one of the most intense and emotionally satisfying creative moment of my life.
He made a video out of it and I can't ever be grateful enough for the way XANGLE presented my work and process.
This one's going in the portfolio for sure!
Thank you so much!

Original Pipe Music
The Regimental Pipes and Drums
of The Calgary Highlanders have had many prolific composers of original
music during the course of its history, including both pipe music and drum
scores. Original pipe tunes are used to mark important occasions, or to pay
tribute to a person, place or thing important to the composer. Some
compositions are taken into use as part of the band's permanent repertoire,
others are played only at the occasion for which they were written. All
original compositions, however, become a permanent part of the band's, and
the Regiment's, history and legacy of musical excellence. Below are listed
a selection of original compositions over the years, with some brief notes
on their composers and subject material.
Linford's Barbeque - 9/8 March
Composed by Corporal Brian Skogland
Probably written in the late 1980s. Chris Linford was a
snare drummer and the lead tip for the Pipes and Drums in the
late 1980s; he also composed a pipe tune which will be added to
this page once more details are researched. At right, Corporal
Skogland at chanter practice during the Nova Scotia
International Tattoo in the summer of 1989. In addition to
being a talented piper, Corporal Skogland was a skilled yodeller,
and, as evidenced here, won glory for the Regiment in topping
the Hairiest Chest competition in at least one Spring Fling.
Sergeant Linford went on to become Lieutenant Colonel Linford,
commander of 1 Field Ambulance.
Chief Warrant Officer M. McCumber, CD
- 6/8 Quick March
Composer unknown

Colonel F.P. Mannix, CD - 4/4

Written in honour of
Mister Jim Stewart, a veteran of the Royal Navy who has given long and
dedicated service to the Regimental Pipes and Drums.
Moffat's Landing - 6/8 Jig
Composed by Pipe Major Mark MacDonald
In memory of Lieutenant Colonel J. Lynn
Moffat's "Big Jump", 8 October 1999
Wee Morag - 2/4 Slow March

Written in October 1993 in honour of the
birth of his second daughter, Morag Hamilton.
General AJG de Chastelain's Welcome
Back - 6/8 Quick March
Composed by Pipe Major Robert W. Henderson
After composing a
piobaireachd marking his retirement (see below), this tune was
composed to mark the unprecedented return of General de Chastelain to
the office of Chief of the Defence Staff for a second term.
Captain D.G. Bourne - 6/8 Quick
Composed by Master Corporal Doug K. Hamilton
Named for the Adjutant of the Regiment,
whose parent regiment was the PPCLI.
Salute to the Chief of Defence -
Composed by Pipe Major Robert W. Henderson
Written in the ancient
style of Piobaireachd, or "big music", this salute marked the
retirement of General A.J.G. De Chastelain, who served as Chief of
Defence Staff (CDS), the highest position in the Canadian military,
and who had started his military career as a piper in the Calgary
Highlanders. In 1990, General de Chastelain, while serving as CDS,
donned a piper's full dress uniform and played on parade with the
Regiment when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II presented the unit with a
new Queen's Colour.
At the time, General de Chastelain left
the military for duty as Ambassador to the United States. In 1994, he
returned to the Canadian Armed Forces and served an unprecedented
second term as CDS.
Machine Gunner Wally Bennett - 6/8
Composed by Private Josh L. Pullen
Written as a tribute to
Wally Bennett, one of the last surviving members of the Tenth
Battalion, who in the last years of his life had been a regular
participant at the annual St. Julien's Dinner in April, commemorating
the Battle of St. Julien in April 1915. At that time, Wally Bennett
had been a machine gunner in the Tenth Battalion and took a very
active part in the Battle of St. Julien, as a gunner on the US-made
Colt Machine Guns with which the unit was equipped.
Tartan Ribbons -
6/8 Jig
Composed by Corporal Michael A. Dorosh
This tune was written in November of 1992 to mark the addition
of a new dress distinction. The Pipes and Drums applied for
permission to wear tartan ribbons on their bagpipes. The history of
these ribbons is explained in full in the Traditions section of this
website, but in brief, a ribbon in Royal Stewart (commemorating the
appointment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as Colonel-in-Chief) and
one in Gordon tartan (paying tribute to the earliest musicians in the
Pipes and Drums in the 1920s) were adopted by the Regiment's pipers.
The ribbons were presented to the band on the anniversary of the
Regimental Birthday, 1 April 1992.
McTavish's Mug - Reel
Composed by Master Corporal Doug K. Hamilton
This tune was written in
October 1990. "McTavish" is a bronze sculpture commissioned by
Honourary Colonel Fred Mannix, depicting a Calgary Highlander as he
would have appeared in the field in the 1970s and 80s, armed with a C2
Light Machine Gun. A mug is set aside in the Sergeant's Mess for
McTavish in one of the many rituals associated with that institution.

many composers, photographed at Exercise Western Challenge in
Wainwright, Alberta, 19 August 1992. At left, Pipe Sergeant Doug
Hamilton, at right Corporal Michael Dorosh. At centre is Private
Gerry Kennedy. The tartan ribbons described above are clearly evident
in the photo.
This tune was written in June 1990,
after six members of the Regimental Pipes and Drums spent a
month in the United Kingdom. The Scottish Division performed
three nights running on Horse Guards Parade in London, with
representatives from the Pipes and Drums and Military Bands of
not only every regiment in the Division, but also musicians from
affiliate regiments throughout Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Malaya and Nepal. Several hundred performers took part in this
Beating Retreat ceremony (the final performance of which was
attended by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, His Royal Highness
Prince Phillip, Her Royal Highness Elizabeth the Queen Mother,
and other members of the Royal Family) and the several dozen
guests were assembled into a "Commonwealth Contingent" commanded
during the weeks of rehearsals by a Major Rutherford-Young of
the London Scottish Regiment. Many of the Canadians found the
use of hyphenated names a bit puzzling, and jocularly referred
to their new commander by several names, including the monicker
used as the name of this pipe tune.
At right - Major
Rutherford-Young, The London Scottish, as he appeared for the
Beating Retreat on Horse Guards, London, England, June 1990.
Kim Kathleen Pullen - 6/8 Slow
Composed by Private Josh L. Pullen
Written in honour of his mother in May 1990.
Fiona's Waltz - 6/8 Waltz
Composed by Master Corporal Doug K. Hamilton
Written by Pipe Sergeant Doug Hamilton in
May 1990, this tune commemorated the birth of his first child,
daughter Fiona.
Pipe Major R.W. Henderson, CD -
2/4 Hornpipe
Composed by Master Corporal Doug K. Hamilton
Written in July 1990,
this tune commemorates the service of Pipe Major Robert W. Henderson,
whose contributions to the band may be evidenced by the prominence of
his name among the list of original compositions listed here.
Sergeant Major Helen Kozicky - 4/4
Quick March
Composed by Pipe Major Robert W. Henderson
This march was written in
January 1989 in honour of one of the first female soldiers to serve as
a Calgary Highlander rather than as a member of the Canadian Women's
Army Corps or other organization and retired from the military as a
Warrant Officer.
Basil B. Pierce - 6/8 Jig
Composed by Pipe Major Robert W. Henderson
Written in February 1989 as a tribute to a beloved pet of
Honourary Lieutenant Colonel Jack Pierce.
Ian Still's Dirk - 6/8 Jig
Composed by Corporal Michael A. Dorosh
Ian Still had been an
engineer from Scotland who had played for the RCEME Regiment Pipe Band
in Lethbridge, Alberta. When the Regiment was reduced, Captain Still
transferred to Calgary and hid his commission when he joined the Pipes
and Drums of the Calgary Highlanders. He retired as a Master Corporal
in 1983, suffered a massive stroke soon after, and passed away in
1988. His widow made it known to Pipe Major Henderson that she wished
to sell his dirk, and Corporal Dorosh purchased the item from her, as
dress regulations permitted it to be worn in Full Dress as well as
shirt sleeve order in the summer. The tune was written in August
Lieutenant Colonel ME Dennis Farewell
To The Calgary Highlanders - 6/8 Quick March
Composed by Pipe Major Robert W. Henderson
This march was played at the official
Change of Command Parade that year and was composed in June.
D.B. Buchanan - Reel
Composed by Corporal Doug K. Hamilton
This reel was composed in
August 1988 and named in memory of a fellow musician who served with
Corporal Hamilton on public duties at Parliament Hill as part of the
Ceremonial Guard. "D.B." is also, it may be noted, the abbreviation
for Detention Barracks, a military prison.
Auld Mewata - 6/8 Quick March
Composed by Cadet Corporal Jody Marchuk (2137 Calgary
Highlanders Cadet Corps)
This tune was composed in
tribute to Mewata Armouries. The building was part of a widespread
move across Canada in the early part of the 20th Century to construct
permanent facilities for local Militia units. Mewata Armouries was
completed in 1917, and has been the home of the Calgary Highlanders
since the inception of the Regiment in 1921.
The Sloedam - 6/8 Slow March
Composed by Pipe Major Robert W. Henderson
This slow march was
written during a trip to The Netherlands where a memorial to the
fighting at Walcheren Causeway, of which The Calgary Highlanders
played a large part - was dedicated. Pipe Major Henderson's
inspiration was "Bonnie Dundee", the company march of "D" Company who
were the first soldiers to reach the far end of the Causeway,
eliminating German opposition at the western end and creating a firm
bridgehead on Walcheren Island.
This tune has since become the
semi-official Slow March of the Regiment.
City of Airdrie - 6/8 Quick March
Composed by Pipe Major William Grieve
This tune marked the
official incorporation of Airdrie as a City of the province of
Alberta, taking effect on 1 January 1985. Airdrie was granted status
as a village in 1909 and as a town in 1974. Located just north of
Calgary on the Number two highway, this thriving community has been
home to a Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps affiliated with The Calgary
Lieutenant Colonel PF Hughes, CD,
Soldier of the Queen - March
Composed by Pipe Major William Grieve
Written in honour of Colonel PF Hughes,
who as a Lieutenant Colonel commanded the Calgary Highlanders from
1979 to 1982.
Mannix Stag - Jig
Composed by Pipe Major William Grieve
Written on the occasion
of the wedding of Honorary Lieutenant Colonel Fred Mannix in December
1982. First played at the stag dinner held at the Ranchman's Club in
Calgary prior to his wedding to Li-Anne Smith.
Lieutenant Colonel GD Stewart
Composed by Piper Doug Raffan
Written to honour Lieutenant Colonel GD
Stewart, CD, Commanding Officer of The Calgary Highlanders from
Lieutenant Colonel J. Fred Scott
Farewell To the Calgary Highlanders - March
Composed by Pipe Major Neil Sutherland
Written in honour of the
Commanding Officer of the First Battalion in March 1942. J. Fred
Scott had served in the First World War and in 1939 commanded the 15th
Alberta Light Horse. He was chosen upon mobilization in September to
command the First Battalion of the Calgary Highlanders, and helped
form and mold the unit. Very well liked by his men, Lieutenant
Colonel Scott also was a driving force behind the adoption of Battle
Drill training not just in the regiment but throughout the Canadian
Army. In 1942 he left the Regiment to take command of a Battle Drill
school in Canada. J. Fred Scott (known affectionately in the Calgary
Highlanders as "J. Fred God") retired from the Army as a Colonel and
today has an elementary school named after him.
