Hank Kolb Case
Case Study|
Presented by: Joanna Kristine |
Total Quality Management (TQM)|
Hank Kolb, Director of Quality Assurance
Case Study
I. Background of the Case
Hank Kolb was whistling as he walked toward his office, still feeling a bit like a stranger since he had been hired four weeks ago as director, quality assurance. All last week he had been away from the plant at an interesting seminar entitled "Quality in the 80s" given for quality managers of manufacturing plants by the corporate training department. He was not looking forward to really digging into the quality problems at these industrial products employing 1,200 people.
Hank poked his head into Mark Hamler's office, his immediate subordinate, the quality control manager, and asked him how things had gone last week. Mark's muted smile and an "Oh, fine" stopped Hank in his tracks. He didn't know Mark very well and was unsure pursuing this reply any further. Hank was still uncertain of how to start building his relationship with him since Mark had been passed over for the promotion to Hank's job—Mark's evaluation form had stated "superb technical knowledge; managerial skills lacking." Hank decided to inquire a little further and asked Mark what had happened. Mark replied:
Oh, just another typical quality snafu. We had a little problem on the Greasex line last week (a specialized degreasing solvent packed in a spray can for the high-technology sector). A little high pressure was found in some cans on the second shift, but a supervisor vented them so that we could ship them out. We met our delivery schedule!
Since hank was still relatively unfamiliar with the plant and the products he asked Mark to elaborate. Painfully, mark continued:
We've been having some trouble with the new filling equipment, and some of the cans were pressurized beyond our acceptable standard on a psi (pounds per square inch) rating scale. The production rate is still 50 percent of standard, about 14 cases per shift. Mac Evans (the inspector for that line) picked it up, tagged the cases "Hold" and went on about his duties. When he returned at the end the shift to write up the rejects, Wayne Simmons, first-line supervisor, was by a pallet of finished goods finishing sealing up a carton if the rejected Greasex: the reject "Hold" tags had been removed. He told Mac that he had heard about the high pressure from another inspector at coffee break, had come back, had taken off the tags, individually turned the cans upside down and vented every one of them in the rejected eight cartons. He told Mac that production planning was really pushing for the stuff, and they couldn't delay by having it sent through the rework area. He told Mac that he would get on the operator to run the equipment right next time. Mac didn't write it up but came in about three days ago to tell me about it. Oh, it happens every once in a while, and I told him to make sure the filling machine was adjusted; and I saw Wayne in the hall and told him that he ought to send the stuff through rework next time.
Hank was a bit dumbfounded at this and didn't say much—he didn't know if this was a "big deal" or not. When he got to his office he thought again what Mr. Morganthal, general manager, had said when he had hired Hank. He warned Hank about the "lack of quality attitude" in the plant and said that Hank "should try to do something about this." He had further emphasized the quality problems in the plant. "We have to improve our quality, it's costing us a lot of money, I'm sure of it, but I can't prove it! Hank, you have my full support in this matter; you're in charge of these quality problems. This downward quality-productivity-turnover spiral has to end!"
The incident had happened a week ago; the goods were probably out in the customer's hands by now; everyone had forgotten about it (or wanted to!); and there seemed to be more pressing...

Women's Rights and Demographic Dividends
Advancing Economic Freedom for the Poor
Women's Rights and Demographic Dividends
Yuwa Hedrick Wong
It is common to hear in business conferences, industry forums and policy seminars the buzz words of "demographic dividends". These are buzz words because they are both catchy and fuzzy. Catchy because they conjure up a happy picture of a society enjoying strong economic growth by having lots of young people; yet fuzzy because it is rarely explained how a teeming mass of young people would lead to strong economic growth.
It turns out that a number of pre- conditions need to be met before a young population yields demographic dividends, and the process is by no means simple or straightforward. A large young population on its own simply means a large potential workforce, but it does not guarantee that there will be jobs for all of them, nor will the jobs always pay a living wage and be productive enough to drive economic growth.
To begin with, a great deal of investment is needed in health care, education, skill training, technologies, and physical infrastructure in order to realize the potential of a large young workforce. And critically, this in turn requires that the high birth rates that produced the large young population earlier decline quickly so that the society's resources (always scarce especially in low income countries) can be diverted from spending on raising large numbers of children to investing in their health, education, and productive skills. This is referred to as demographic transition. In this process, a decline in women's total fertility rate[1] once the bulge of young population is formed is a prerequisite for realizing the demographic dividends.[2] A society that keeps on producing large numbers of children is not even in the running for demographic dividends.
With declining birth rates, women now also have more opportunities to join the labor force, thereby raising women's labor force participation rates. Productively employed young workers, boosted by more women entering the workforce, in turn raise the economic output of the society, while their ability to save more helps to enlarge the pool of capital available for yet more investment. It is the sum of these contributions: higher outputs by a large, young, well educated and productive workforce, increase in women's labor force participation, and a bigger savings pool that create demographic dividends.
Without the requisite investment in the young and women's falling fertility rates, the economic potential of a large young population cannot be realized. Instead, the society is burdened with a large number of poorly educated, unemployed or underemployed, restless, and frustrated young people. They are a volatile mix that could easily lead to social unrest and instability. Instead of demographic dividends, they constitute a demographic burden.
Today, South Asia, Sub-Sahara Africa, and parts of Latin America have the youngest populations in the world. However, the speed with which total fertility rates are declining in countries in these regions varies very significantly. In South Asia, for example, Bangladesh has had the fastest decline, from 6.9 in 1970 to 2.4 in 2010. The decline is much slower in Pakistan, from 6.9 in 1970 (same as Bangladesh as they were then the same country) to 3.9 in 2010. India is in between falling from 5.7 in 1970 to 2.7 in 2010. In many Sub-Sahara African countries the total fertility rates are more like Pakistan's rather than Bangladesh's.[3] So in many developing countries one of the critical pre-conditions for realizing demographic dividends remains absent.
A direct and effective way to ensure that the masses of young people yields demographic dividends instead of becoming a demographic burden is to make sure that the basic rights of women, especially women in the lowest income households and in marginalized groups, are well protected. When girls have the same education opportunities as boys, when women are free to decide when and whom to marry, and whether and when to become a parent, then total fertility rate is likely to decline more rapidly than otherwise. Women's rights are a short cut to demographic dividends.

Our early drive into Tucson brought us to the Courthouse to witness the final day of pre-trail motions for the USA vs. Swartz case, the murder trial that will decide the sentence for Agent Swartz. On October 12, 2012, Swartz fired 10 shots into the back of sixteen-year-old Jose Rodriguez, who was on the Mexico side of the 20-foot-high border fence. Five years later, his family is hoping to get justice.
We sat in the back of the courtroom with the victim's family. His mother and grandmother stared straight ahead, ignoring their son's/grandson's killer, who sat in the trail stand to their left. As the court discusses whether or not certain videos or witnesses could be used, Jose's family sat rigid, taking in all of the facts through the black headsets that provided them simultaneous translation from English to Spanish.
The court discussed one of the more controversial aspects of the trial- the fact that the original footage of the killing was either lost or destroyed. A compressed copy had been made, but the defense attorneys had brought in a witness that claimed the video was "99% inaccurate."
As with any politically charged case, anti-immigration rhetoric filled the room. There was talk of drug smugglers and cartels, "rocking" and "packers", a jumble of pseudo-military border patrol slang that the court room seemed to take for granted. The defense struggled to reinforce that the case was not over immigration or cartel lands, but whether or not the agent was justified in using deadly force against a teenage boy.
Relevant Article:
"A 2013 investigation by The Arizona Republic found that since 2005, C.B.P. agents had killed at least 42 people, a majority of them in the United States, but most of the agents' identities had been kept secret, and the officers faced ''few, if any, public repercussions, even in cases in which the justification for the shooting seems dubious.'' Thirteen of the cases involved American citizens; at least three involved unarmed teenagers who were shot in the back."

Influences on Teachers' Use of Parent Involvement at Home.
Becker, Henry Jay; Epstein, Joyce L.
Survey data from 3,698 teachers in 600 schools in Maryland are used to explore the determinants of teachers' use of parent involvement strategies. Two questions are addressed: (1) How much do elementary school teachers organize their teaching practice to facilitate parent involvement in home learning activities? and (2) Which factors in the teachers' backgrounds, teaching responsibilities, characteristics of their students, characteristics of the parents they work with, and characteristics of school environment are important determinants of their parent involvement teaching strategies? Results suggest that grade level, student racial composition, parental activity at school, teacher graduate training, and school district policies have strong independent effects on teachers' practices of parent involvement. In contrast, parent educational level, although an important influence on teachers' attitudes about parent involvement, is not a strong determinant of teachers' actual practices. Teachers who need parents' assistance or who choose to emphasize family-school cooperation have worked out ways to involve parents from all educational levels. (Authors)

Click HERE to listen to podcast of this blog article.
The subject of this particular blog/podcast was sparked by a question that I was asked by a follower of my Facebook page. She stated, "I just passed my one year anniversary of being sober. Over the past year everything has gone wrong, nothing is going right for me. What did I do to deserve this? I thought getting sober would make my life better? I'm not sure if this is all worth it?"
That's a legitimate question. We often feel that things aren't going our way because of something we did, "What did I do to deserve this?" (Do you ever ask that same question when things go right or when things turn out well? I'll discuss that a little later.)
I believe that there are a few different answers to the question "What did I do to deserve this?" First we must remember that there are facts and there are perceptions. Perception is that we may feel as if things are always going wrong when in fact things probably aren't all that bad. Things may also appear to be going wrong because the outcome wasn't exactly what we wanted. There is also the element that our sober mind can see many of these events more clearly. Your sober mind will likely be more sensitive and your perception will amplify the difficult occurrences. Then there is also the element of random chaos and causative chaos.
Random chaos is when events and outcomes occur, due to NO fault of your own. While we may feel that a certain bad event was personally directed at us to make our life worse, the event was just "random". That's when we feel, "Why did this happen to me? I didn't do anything wrong or bad." Well you didn't do anything wrong or bad, it was just random. Random bad luck and misfortunes are NOT personally directed at YOU. You have not been individually singled out by some invisible force to make you pay or to get even for something you did. The evil is not personally directed at you, but YOU happen to be personally involved and affected by it. Knowing this doesn't change the facts of what may have happened, but it can help you improve your attitude and try to solve the problem.
Here's a recent example from my life. I was moving from Ft. Myers FL to the lower Keys. As I was driving my RV across the Everglades a buzzard flew into my windshield. It completely shattered the glass right in front of me. The buzzard hit so hard it came through the bottom of the windshield. A few inches higher and it would have come right through, possibly hitting me!
The incident was certainly an inconvenience. I was in the middle of the Everglades and I had to be in the Keys to start my new job the next day. But I didn't get all bent out of shape about it. I had to do some temporary repairs and continue my drive. My sober mind allowed me to address the problem and get going again.
This incident wasn't due to any direct fault of my own. It was just a freak occurrence. (In fact, I feel lucky that I wasn't hurt.) In my drinking days I would have taken this personally and would have let it upset me for quite a while.
Here's another example. A very close friend of mine went through some extremely uncomfortable cancer treatments about a year ago. All signs looked optimistic for a complete recovery. But a few months ago the cancer returned with a vengeance. He now has to undergo more treatments. The cancer is absolutely due to no fault of his own. He is a strong, healthy man. He's also a very good human being. He did NOTHING to deserve this. He's fighting hard and willing to do whatever is necessary to get through this. I am envious of his sober and pragmatic attitude about this.
I'm sure you can think of things from your own life when you've said "What did I do to deserve this?" Your brand new car gets dented by a grocery cart in the parking lot, you get a flat tire, you catch a cold or possibly even some major disease. Things don't go right. Shit breaks around the house, your computer crashes, I mean literally crashes because it falls off a table and busts into a million pieces on the floor. One thing after another keeps going wrong and you think, "What did I do to deserve this?"
You did nothing wrong to deserve it. I find it hard to believe that there is some invisible accountant in the sky, who makes sure that you are the recipient of bad fortune. But it's only natural for the mind to try and find correlations to things. "Well I lied on my taxes, so my car being broken into must be payback." You can think that way, but both good and bad occurrences are usually just random happenings.
The danger (as I see it), about conjuring up correlations, is that it can influence our emotions and future behaviors. For instance somebody might say, "I sobered up, I'm living a straight and narrow path, and then all this shit goes wrong. Fuck it, what's the point, I was better off when I drank." They might think they were better off when they drank, but they were probably too drunk at the time to realize that bad things were happening, or they couldn't see that they were their own orchestrator of all this bad shit. They always blamed something or someone else. So our thoughts, emotions and possible future behavior is influenced by our own deluded belief that we are personally being persecuted by the invisible accountant in the sky.
I do believe that there are always reasons and causes for everything. When I talk about reasons and causes I'm just referring to hard data. Like the example of your brand new car getting hit by a grocery cart. The reason your car got dented was because a hard object hit it – that's physics. The cause of the cart hitting it could be because it was windy out and you were parked at the end of the lot, on the bottom of a slope, unprotected by any other cars. That's the reason and cause, but it was just a random occurrence, it had nothing to do with any payback for something you did in your past.
When we try to link a correlation between unlucky random events and our behavior, we are only harming our self and our self-esteem. Because we feel that we were somehow responsible for this event happening and then we feel guilt and self-pity. In fact, it's pretty grandiose thinking to believe that the universe would conspire to torment you personally. Sorry, but you're not that special, at least I'm not. Or let me put it this way, you go buy a single lottery ticket and you don't win, well the universe didn't conspire to make sure that you lost, because 17 million other dumb fucks lost too. It was just random that someone else won.
So try to keep yourself from feeling that unlucky and inconvenient events are designed as a personal attack against you, to make you pay for something. Instead of thinking, "What did I do to deserve this?" try thinking, "Well that sucks. Too bad this happened to me. But I'm still a good person, I'm not gonna change how I behave because of this."
Now let me get to causative chaos. This is when your behavior is in direct correlation to an event occurring and that's for both good and bad events. For example, someone goes to school, they study hard, they work hard, they're involved in their education, they graduate with a high grade point average and they send out a hundred résumés and they get their dream job or are highly sought after by employers. This isn't random luck; this is a self-orchestrated, causative occurrence. They took action and they were instrumental in directing the opportunity for good things to happen.
But what if they do all of those things; study hard, graduate, send out a hundred résumés and nobody hires them? There could be thousands of unseen reasons why they don't get hired. Maybe the places they applied weren't hiring, maybe someone else was more qualified, maybe they got their résumé in a day after someone else was hired. Who knows, but the perceived bad luck that they're having is random bad luck and eventually, their behavior and their actions will have a positive causative effect.
And this causative chaos is just like drinking. When you drink to excess, chances are good that something bad will eventually happen. Or maybe you sobered up for a while and you think, "AW, maybe I can go back and play with this." Then when all the drama, problems and bullshit resurface you ask yourself, "What did I do to deserve this?" Well the answer is: "You started drinking again, that's what you did to deserve this. You caused it to happen." That's like when someone gets arrested for drunk driving and they blame the police, the bartender or somebody else. "Aw I can't believe my luck. I got arrested and I was only two blocks from my house. Now I'm gon'na lose my license, I might lose my job and I might have to move. Fucking cops. What did I do to deserve this?" Believe me, I hear this from people all the time and all I can say is, "You did it to yourself. That's why you deserve this. You drove drunk, you broke the law. Quit blaming everybody else."
When you live a dangerous or self-destructive lifestyle, all sorts of bad shit CAN and WILL happen. There is a definite correlation between your actions and the occurrences that take place. Hey, if you wanna live drunk, go ahead, but don't be shocked and surprised when bad shit happens.
And there's the flip side to this. You can cause good things to happen and when they do you should still ask the same question, "What did I do to deserve this?" For instance, I live near Key West. I'm in paradise and I have the opportunity to enjoy a challenging job. It's hard work and there can be a lot of pressure at times, but as I just said, "I live in paradise." I worked very hard to earn this opportunity. I studied and researched as much as I could. I made certain that I was qualified for this job. So that's what I did to deserve it – I did the work. I feel lucky and fortunate, but I can clearly see a correlation between my efforts and my pleasant results.
When things go well for you, spend some time to reflect on what you did to help things go right and then repeat that same attitude and behavior. You have the ability to make things turn out in your favor. You can cause good things to happen.
With all that said, I wish you the best of happiness, contentment and good luck in your life, because that is what you deserve.

I'm not sure whose last two weeks have been worse, Tiger's or ours? Let's see- we've gone 1-6 picking against the number during that time period, and Tiger has pretty much pissed away half of his $1 billion fortune. Ok, so maybe Tiger's has been a little bit worse, but nevertheless- we realize we need to get our shit together, and we are guaranteeing a huge week. Unleashing hell….
Pittsburgh at Cleveland +10
Newsflash: Pittsburgh sucks, ok. And we realize Cleveland does as well, but lets get real for a second. Can someone tell me the last time a professional football team "riding" a 4 game losing streak, has to go on the road during a short work week, and is in a spot in which they're laying a double digit number? The answer is probably never.
The team loved by the big hair, big trucks, and big asses has some real problems this year. We've talked about the Superbowl hangover all year. Throw in Big Ben's on and off the field problems, some locker room finger pointing, Troy Polomalu's hair injury, and Mike Tomlin's really motivating "unleash hell" comments, and you've got a .500 football team.
Cleveland has been somewhat competitive as of late. They played Cincinnati tough in a loss, posted 37 in a loss at Detroit, and 23 last week in a loss versus the Chargers.
Try this on for size: since 1998, NFL teams who are getting 10 or more points, in a game played after December 1st, are 74-26-5 ATS. We couldn't make that shit up. Or could we? It doesn't matter; Browns cover.
Washington/Oakland Under 37.5
Other than the fact that you could tune into this game, and be witness to the first NFL game in history to feature two scrotums sitting in the respective owners suites, we'd advise you to spare the boredom, and catch up on all your Tivo'd episodes of Poker After Dark.
This total number looks suspiciously low to us. Both teams are coming off totals north of 50, and the Redskins-who were big Under players for the longest of times, have gone over 5 of their last 6. We advise you Martingale this one, and catch up on all the 'Skins Under' money you've lost over the the past 6 weeks.
Redskins will be tired of scoring more than 20, tired from the cross-country trip, but will be man enough to keep the quarterback with the real long last name in check. 13-10, some scrotum's team wins.
Denver +7 at Indy
Look inside the numbers for a minute, and you'll find that over the course of their 12-0 start, the Colts have only played one team who sports a Top 10 defense (Baltimore, ranked 10th, in a game the Colts should've lost). The list of teams they've played that defend the lower third of the NFL (Tenn twice, Hou twice, San Fran) goes on and on and on. In this spot, they get the 3rd ranked defense in Denver, in a game in which Peyton and crew will secure their first 'L'.
Denver has looked very good since their mid season hiccup They boat raced the Giants in prime time, and then took care of business last week in a game they should've won, and did so with ease. They've also hit their stride on the ground.
Averaging over 125 rushing yards per game, the Broncos posted 138 against NYG, and a nice 245 last week versus Kansas City. That won't set well with an Indy defense who is ranked 18th in the league versus the run.
We advise you to push all your chips towards the middle of the table, ala Jim Fassel 2K. Denver covers, wins outright, and leaves New Orleans as the last undefeated team.
San Diego at Dallas –3
Wade Phillips press conference the other day was the worst assault we've seen on a fat guy by other fat red neck guys, since Ned Beatty took it in the pooper on the set of 'Deliverance'. We like the way he (kind of) stood up for his team, and we think his team will too.
Tony Romo threw for almost 400 yards last week, on 41 of 55, with 3 touches and no picks. How did they lose? Well, they gave up a screen pass that went for almost 80, they allowed a punt to be returned for 6, and offensively- they didn't run the ball (45 total rushing yards).
The Chargers have won 7 straight coming in, and Norv Turner- of all people, is one of the silliest dudes to coach against the number in December (10-2 ATS, last 12). But they're in a bad spot here, on the road, against a team who is sick of hearing it.
This is Dallas' season. Lose here, and it's over Johnny. In fact lose here, and they might lose out. Expect the Boys to get back to how they butter their bread- on the ground, and they catch the Bolts slacking, on the heels of a back-to-back roadie. Boys, big.

Dragons of the Sun
Grayslore Ice Elk
Lunar Patron of the Dragons of the Sun
A broad shouldered man with shaggy light brown hair and gray eyes. Often wears a full beard.
An Elder exalt and the Lunar companion of Winter Steel, Grayslore is usually content to spend his time deep in thought somewhere in creation, preferably somewhere on the edge of the Wyld. He often records his thoughts on the Wyld's danger and beauty in long, evocative poems, and indeed there are few who know the Wyld better than he. He takes a modest pride in his wordsmithing, but is less modest about his position as one of creations's leading scholars on the only true threat creation has left.
His relationship with Winter Steel is a disturbing one. On the surface, the two elder Exalts are excellent friends, but they are often engaged in petty rivalries and competitions, which at times are little more than fun jests, and at others can be dangerously serious. So far, it seems that their most recent rivalry over the affections of Dancing River, has not caused undue hardship between the two, even after Grayslore proved the wiser in recruiting the Dragons of the Sun to serve as his proxies to win Dancing River's hand — at least for a time.

Western Climate Initiative: Cap and Trade Business Forum - Québec, Ontario and California united in their efforts to fight climate change
Québec, September 30, 2016 – The close collaboration that has been established between Québec, California and Ontario to fight climate change is intensifying and at the same time raising Canada's ambition level in fighting climate change. That is what came out of the discussions that took place during an event organized by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change held yesterday in Toronto, in which Minister David Heurtel and California's Secretary for Environmental Protection, Matt Rodriquez, took part.
The Québec Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change, David Heurtel, Secretary Rodriguez, and the Ontario Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Glen Murray, explained how the strong partnership between the three federated states, particularly with respect to implementing the Québec-California-Ontario carbon market, contributed positively to the dialogue initiated with other states regarding the expansion of carbon markets throughout the world. An example to consider is the role that Québec and Ontario have played vis-a-vis the other Canadian provinces and the federal government with a view to adopting the pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change.
Speaking to an audience composed of some fifty representatives from the government, the financial sector, environmental groups and Ontario businesses, Minister Heurtel explained that with the upcoming addition of Ontario to the Québec-California carbon market, it will cover an area inhabited by over 60% of the Canadian population and that represents an annual GDP of almost 56% of Canada's GDP. "The Québec-California carbon market is already considered one of the world's most effective. With Ontario, its scope will be even greater, and we will be better able to achieve our greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction objectives. Like California in the United States, our two governments are making an extremely concrete contribution to the efforts that Canada must deploy to help achieve the objectives of the Paris agreement, namely limiting global warming to under two degrees Celsius," stated Minister Heurtel.
It should be recalled that, on March 3, the federal, provincial and territorial first ministers signed the Vancouver Declaration on Clean Growth and Climate Change, in which they agreed to work together to raise Canada's ambition level in the fight against climate change by adopting a broad range of appropriate measures, including mechanisms for establishing carbon pricing.
"The Vancouver Declaration states that it is up to the provinces and territories to choose ways to reduce their GHG emissions. Therefore, we are confident that we will see the federal government respect the decision made by Québec and Ontario, that wish to pursue their carbon market activities, which we believe is the best way to ensure GHG reduction," said Minister Heurtel.
The Minister informed the audience of the reasons that prompted Québec to make the cap-and-trade system for GHG emission allowances, or "carbon market," the spearhead of its approach in the fight against climate change: "The carbon market establishes clear objectives for emitters and thereby provides governments with the guarantee that they will succeed in reducing GHG emissions – something a tax cannot do."
Moreover, revenue generated by the carbon market is fully reinvested in the transition to a low-carbon and innovative society, thus increasing Québec's expertise in several sectors, including the green technology sector. As examples, the Minister cited the Lion Bus Company, which designs all-electric school buses, and AddÉnergie, which develops electric charging stations.
The carbon market has been linked to California's since January 1, 2014, and to date has generated over 1.2 billion dollars in revenue for Québec. All of its revenue is paid into the Green Fund for implementing measures contained in the 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan (2013-2020 CCAP). The plan aims to reduce GHG emissions in Québec to 20% below 1990 levels by 2020 and improve Québec's capacity to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Several measures support public and alternative transportation, transportation electrification and technological innovation, particularly in the green technology sector. By 2020, more than 3.3 billion dollars will be invested in Québec to accelerate GHG emission reduction and increase Québec society's resilience to climate change.
"The carbon market is a flexible high-performing economic tool, both environmentally and economically. It must be based on concerted and coherent action with a maximum number of partners. It is in this way that we will accelerate the transition to a modern, prosperous and low-carbon economy. Let's fight climate change together to ensure a better quality of life for our children. Let's do it for them!," concluded Minister Heurtel.

The Hydrea-Thermpipe® – heat from waste or cooling water
Recovering heat from waste or cooling water: it's a good idea, but is it realistic? SOCEA collaborated with contractor Heymans and plastic pipe producer Frank to develop a jacking pipe prototype that recovers heat from the fluid running through it. The HybridEnergyPipe has a concrete outer housing and an inner lining made of HDPE. It recovers 'lost' heat from the fluid in the pipe thanks to an ingenious system of tubes and heat pumps. The system is effective even with modest temperature gradients of 3 or 4°C.
It's a promising technique, especially since many cities and municipalities are currently renewing their waste water systems. Replacing the old drainage pipes with HybridEnergyPipes is a sound investment that helps reduce global CO2 emissions since the recovered heat can be used to supply district heating or hot water.
The developed prototype is a jacking pipe, but SOCEA can apply the technique to all of its pipes, including gravity drainage pipes and steel core concrete pipes under pressure, which are frequently used in cooling water circuits.

Examples of this type of table are a phone list of people in your company or class at school, an ocean tide table with times and tide levels, or a recipe with amounts and ingredients. This type of table usually has a border around the cells, although it doesn't have to. Generally, tables used for page layout purposes, explored next hour, have the table borders turned off.

low rating on rotten tomatoes
Wolf of wall street + American Psycho + Trainspotting + Layer Cake = This.
Basically Nicholas Hoult and his "twin" are in a movie together.
nicholas hoult is not francis (ajax) from deadpool!! he plays a different
character in the xmen universe (beast)

He kinda reminds me of that bad guy on Deadpool .. I think it was a Ajax
wolf of wall street meets american psycho… wanna be

New York Essentials in 2013
From the bright lights of Broadway to the John Lennon memorial in Central Park, New York is a city of diverse culture, beautiful green space, art galleries and museums and a wealth of wonderful dining experiences. Events take place throughout the year so make sure to reserve hotels in New York in advance, but there is always plenty to see and do even if your trip does not coincide with a major festival.
Arts & Culture
Art enthusiasts should plan their visit around Frieze New York (10-13 May 2013), a contemporary showcase of more than 1,000 world-renowned artists with a diverse programme that includes talks, debates and panel discussions. Getting there is easy – Frieze is located in a unique setting within Randall's Island Park on the East River, an oasis in the middle of the city that can be reached via public transport, or even by bike! A purpose-built temporary structure has been erected to house the exhibition. Alternatively, head to the famed Museum of Modern Art on 53rd Street and 5th Avenue, where you can see masterpieces from the likes of Van Gogh and Matisse, as well as a changing display of works throughout the year.
Parks and Gardens
Stepping into nature couldn't be easier in the city of New York. Brooklyn Botanic Garden is glorious no matter what season you choose to travel, with a Native Flora Garden where local plants thrive, as well as a Lily Pool Terrace where around 100 varieties of water lily can be discovered along with beautiful reflective pools and fountains. If you want to experience something truly special, venture here in April to see the Cherry Esplanade come alive with vibrant cherry blossoms at the time of Hanami – a Japanese tradition.
Of course Central Park is a must for many people looking to explore Big Apple delights for the first time. Don't miss the Strawberry Fields Memorial and look out for highlights such as Belvedere Castle, as well as the myriad statues of historic figures such as Shakespeare!
Food and Drink
Visitors to New York really are spoilt for choice when it comes to eating and drinking. Pick up snacks ranging from fried dumplings to Hong Kong-style rice rolls in Chinatown, or if you fancy fine dining, the NoMad serves up foie gras and truffles while Portuguese restaurant Aldea comes highly recommended. Whether you are looking for a causal lunch or you want a luxurious treat, this city really does have it all. Why not round things off with a drink on a rooftop bar to soak up views across the iconic skyline?
There are literally hundreds of reasons to travel to one of America's best-known cities in 2013. So what are you waiting for?!

As YESLiberia's team manager, I also manage our social media accounts. From the beginning of this Ebola outbreak, I have been spending many hours each day reading the news about Ebola and posting stories that I feel can educate you about this terrible virus. You have posted comments, shared posts and even sent messages asking us for ways to help get supplies to Liberians. We want to thank you for your engagement thus far with trying to help Ebola victims.
Throughout this crisis, true heroes have emerged. Now, many people know about people like Dr. Sheik Khan, Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol. Their names help to put a face to this unspeakable tragedy. Dr. Khan sadly gave his life to help Ebola victims in Sierra Leone. Dr. Brantly and Nancy Writebol decided to help Ebola victims even though they knew the virus would ultimately infect them as well. They are now recovering in the United States.
We want you to remember the unsung heroes as well. More than 60 health care workers have died helping victims. They made a choice to run to help when others would turn and flee. The spirit of those who are helping from agencies such as the WHO, CDC, MSF, GHM and Samaritan's Purse is incredible.
Ebola kills people young and old. Sadly, many women have lost their lives to Ebola. There are numerous infants in isolation cribs across Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. We at YESLiberia hope to help make a difference in these efforts. Our founder, Z.J Jallah was interviewed on CBS Channel 3, Philadelphia Local News, about the losses that members of our organization have endured due to Ebola in Liberia. People who want to watch few seconds of the clip can view it at the link provided here.
Our hope is that people keep praying, donating and creating awareness to help fight Ebola. You can visit our website at http://www.yesliberia.org/give/fightebola/ to learn more about our Fight Ebola campaign. We want everyone to join hands to help save lives in West Africa. Your help can make a difference in helping to save Liberia.

Golf: Less than 10 minutes drive to 2 championship 18 hole golf courses- Alicante Golf club www.alicantegolf.com and the Bonalba Golf resort & Spa www.alicante-golf.com.
Travel to villa: Alicante is the nearest airport less than 20 minute drive away. We recommend you book hire car at the time you book your flights. It is recommended you have access to a car in order to have the opportunity of visiting the local areas/beaches during your stay.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
Eight adults, a teenager and a toddler all had a great week. Setting aside some confusion with the greeter at the house regarding the arrival time, we recommend the house. The pool is spotless and well cared for and during temperatures of well over 30c the pool was tremendous. Other good points are the very useful barbecue, that was used nearly every day, the nearby supermarkets with great produce and booze at cheap prices. The house has aircon in some rooms but not all and this means that some will sleep without aircon. The kitchen is a little dated yet we managed and the dish washer is very good.
The location is very quiet and peaceful but a car is essential to reside here. Nearby beaches and supermarkets all require a car for access. There are very few bars or restaurants nearby but some excellent ones in the nearby town of Muxtamel. Check out TripAdvisor. car parking inside the property with automatic gates provides a very secure property and the whole property is good for children as they cannot get to the road with supervision. The pool area is also quite safe and has a gated fence for children. The Wi-Fi was reasonable considering we were all using it. Overall, very good value.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this villa. The house was nice and clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lovely home with plenty of outdoor space, pool very clean, really nice large dining area outside. We were 4 adults and 5 children and we had lots of space both inside and outside. It is very private and safe. Owner was very easy to deal with. Karen was very helpful. We had a fabulous stay here. I would highly recommend this villa.
Lovely Villa set in ample gardens in lovely quiet street. Plenty of room inside, bedrooms living space etc but we "lived" outside on terrace; we had every meal out there it was fab. We had 2 year old with us and fenced off pool gave us great security especially at night when we were all outside and knew she was safe wandering around gardens. We had three other children (and six adults in our group) who absolutely loved the pool, staying up late in the lovely peace and quiet. We hope we can visit the villa in the future and would recommend it to anyone who wants a holiday that feels like you are in your own home! We didn't go out any evening to eat but we enjoyed the terrace and put little ones to bed whenever they needed to go. We visited the beautiful beach nearby and it was so really worth it. It was a lucky day when we came across the villa on line; would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great family holiday in lovely surroundings.
This property is well maintained, and perfect for a quiet holiday. Short drive to the airport and to the supermarket and other amenities. Pool is clean and well maintained. We have young children and this was ideal a private pool what more could you want. The garden/property is secure which is ideal with young children. Overall highly recommend! Worth every penny our 1st visit but not our last!
The villa is ideal for a private getaway holiday, but near enough to get in a car and go to Benidorm for the day, which we did a couple of times. There were of us adults, and one child of 7 and twins of 23 months. We loved the fact that once the electric gates had closed, we could relax knowing the children were safe and could not get out. The rooms were a nice size and very comfortable. The family room was ideal for my daughter, son in-law and 3 boys, although they all ended up sleeping in the one big room, which was very large, due to the air con. The room for the boys had no air con and was far to hot for them to sleep in, but that didn't matter because their room was huge. One travel cot was supplied, and Karen who takes care of the villa was kind enough to let us have another travel cot and two car seats, all very cheap. The villa was very modern and very spacious. We loved the large swimming pool, and the fact it was fenced off, so the twins could not get in to the water by themselves, so we could all relax. The grounds are large enough for the twins to explore, so they never got bored. We all loved the eating area, that is just outside the patio doors, that lead from the front room and is under cover. It felt like were were at home, but living in a luxury home, we all felt very comfortable and eat when we wanted to and cooked in the very modern kitchen with mod cons. I loved the laundry room just off from the kitchen, and we were happy we all went home with clean clothes, rather than a suitcase full of dirty washing. The sun loungers round the pool are very comfortable and we spent nearly every day in and out the pool, and the outside toilet by the pool is a godsend. The only thing I would say is that the BBQ area be modernized to make it a bit easier, but we managed with what we had, which was fine and we enjoyed many a BBQ with fresh meat and fish purchased from one of the large supermarkets. If there were any problems (we did not really have problems as such) Karen was a phone call away and sorts everything out very quickly, Karen is very helpful and very friendly. We all loved the villa and had a fantastic family holiday away together, which was nice. The twins could fall asleep anywhere and no one had to stay with them like you would in a hotel. Lovely villa and would highly recommend it to anyone.
My family and I have stayed in this fantastic villa twice now, and we are already booking our third trip! If you are looking for a family friendly, safe, spacious, beautiful villa in Spain close to all amenities then this is the villa for you! We stayed at the villa for a week. The owner of the villa is extremely organised, friendly and helpful. As soon as we had made our booking online he sent us a booklet in the post. The booklet contained all the information we could need: detailed maps with directions from the airport to the villa, pictures of all the appliances in the home and how to use them, information about local amenities, festivals etc!
We were just as impressed when we arrived. The property was extremely clean and tidy and well maintained. The swimming pool was very clean with beautiful lights at night. Supermarkets and shops were within a few minutes drive from the villa and there was regular public transport to Alicante for those without car hire. Not that there is any reason to leave the villa at all which is well stocked with DVDs, magazines and board games - though I would recommend taking extra entertainment suited specifically to your family. The owner had done his best to make a very relaxing atmosphere.
All in all our family love this villa and have already recommended it highly to friends and family. Great property, great price!

Investigators are zeroing in on a reported sighting of a phony Rockefeller dad and his kidnapped daughter on the tiny Caribbean islands of the Turks and Caicos, officials say.
Police on the island said two people reported seeing someone who looked like Clark Rockefeller on the island of Provedenciales yesterday – once by himself and once with a small, blond child that may have been the missing Reigh "Snooks" Boss.
"These are possible sightings and we are trying to confirm them," said Hubert Hughes, deputy commissioner of the islands' police. "My officers have been trying to locate them and confirm if it is the person we are looking for."
MORE: Jerk Took Big Bucks Instead Of Custody
PHOTO GALLERY: Fake Rockefeller As Roman War God
Police in Boston – where Rockefeller allegedly abducted the child – said the tip was one of hundreds they had received but had not been verified.
Hughes said a man resembling Rockefeller was first spotted yesterday afternoon on walking on a road leading from the island's harbor. There he flagged down a driver and asked to be taken to a NAPA Auto Parts store to buy a part for his boat's motor.
When Rockefeller first disappeared with Boss, police said he might try to flee the country aboard a yacht called "Serenity" that he told friends he'd bought.
Once at the store the man used a Visa card in the name of David M. Gibson to buy the part, Hughes said.
Later in the day, a second person reported seeing a man who looked like Rockefeller with a blond child at a 7-11 on the same island.
"There was a small child with him with very short hair and he was referring to him as a boy," Hughes said.
The FBI yesterday announced that Rockefeller might have cut Boss' flowing blond hair short to make her look more like a boy. They also said he might be carrying a passport in the name of Michael Brown.
Hughes said officers were checking with harbor officials to see who registered their boats there in the past several days. He also said they were circulating Rockefeller and Boss' pictures around the islands to see if anyone else remembered seeing them.

Cedar Falls Maid-Rite
Though Maid-Rite was first founded in 1926, and now has locations throughout Iowa, it is agreed that Cedar Falls is one of the best. Complete with charming decor, an old-fashioned feel and traditional Iowa diner food, this location is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast or lunch. I've heard the pies are absolutely to-die for.

Peace on Earth, by whatever name
It's popular in some politicised evangelical Christian circles (that is, among the American "religious right") to spend every December moaning about a "war on Christmas". Unless they get to fill the commons with their religious displays — and theirs only — and unless the cup from their preferred coffee vendor refers to their religious holiday — and theirs only — and so on and so forth, they consider themselves beset by the forces of evil.
I'm content to be a practising Christian. I was brought up with fairly traditional middle American Protestant Christmas celebrations and still enjoy them very much (in recent years I've also enjoyed Roman Catholic Christmas midnight mass a time or two).
But I don't see any kind of "war on Christmas" in the preferences of others to celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or Festivus or Yule or just "holiday break. The festival goes back to well before the time of Jesus; his birth story is just the container some of us have chosen to put it in.
This time of year marks the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and the turn toward coming spring. The days begin to get longer instead of shorter.
Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men. These are laudable aspirations for the time of hope and renewal represented by the December holidays of so many faiths and cultures over the millennia. And as 2016 becomes 2017, they make great New Year's resolutions.
Try as we might, humankind as never conquered poverty, sickness, suffering or war. But we should never stop trying.
After nearly 400 years of opportunities to get those things right, the Westphalian nation-State has proven a failure on all counts. In the 20th century, governments murdered somewhere north of 170 million people and kept billions more in varying degrees of servitude, squalor and penury. So far the 21st century has likewise been one of unremitting war, creeping tyranny and ubiquitous kleptocracy.
It's far too much to hope that the emerging voluntary, decentralised forms of governance powered by technological progress will finally and forever displace the State in 2017. But the writing is on the wall. Government as we know it is going away.
As we close out one year and look to the next, let's re-dedicate ourselves to replacing the modern nation-State with something better. Something (or, more likely, things) more peaceful, more empowering, less oppressive and less deadly.
Merry Christmas — or whatever you prefer to call it.
