1.1 AIRLINE (the Aerospace Industry Regional
and Local Authority Network) is a network of local authorities
from across the UK, formed in 1990 to represent the interests
of key aerospace manufacturing regions. The Network aims to:
2.1 Direct employment in UK aerospace manufacturing
stands at around 150,000 with another 350,000 jobs in the supply
chain. The industry turns over almost £18 billion annually
and exports 60 per cent of its sales. Aerospace is a huge net
earner for the national economy, making a massive contribution
to the balance of trade (yielding a positive balance worth £2.13
billion in 1999). Overseas-owned aerospace assets are also very
significant, with UK companies employing around 40,000 people
outside the UK (mostly in North America).
2.2 All this means that "UK Aerospace
plc" is consistently in the world's top three in terms of
market share and technological innovation.
2.3 Technology leadership in this industry
is critical, combined with the constant pursuit of cost savings
and productivity gainsall are key competitiveness factors
in global aerospace markets.
2.4 Maintaining competitiveness in these
areas depends absolutely on the quality of two things: the UK
skills base and UK suppliers companies. But it also relies heavily
on appropriate support from Government for skills development
and for adequate, ongoing investments in the "knowledge base"
(principally through R&D programmes and longer-term launch
loans to the industry).
2.5 In the areas which AIRLINE represents,
the supply of high-quality skills and the presence of world-class
suppliers have long been acknowledged by the prime contractors/Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as major factors influencing their
investment and sourcing decisions.
2.6 The aerospace supply chain in the UK
represents a very significant part of a "hidden" aerospace
economy. The SBAC's recent survey of the equipment sector supply
chain alone showed that:
2.7 The investment being made in both R&D
and skills by businesses at this level in the supply chain is
very considerable. But they depend ultimately on the prime contractorsthe
likes of BAE SYSTEMS, Rolls-Royce and GKNmaintaining a
significant manufacturing presence in this country.
2.8 However, the industry at prime contractor/OEM
level is changing fast. The globalisation of markets is being
matched by the increasingly international presence of UK aerospace
companies. Overseas assets mean that these companies now have
capacity and capability in other countries as well. This also
means that UK companies have access to support from foreign Governments
that do see the strategic advantage of having a strong domestic
aerospace industry and are willing to invest in it.
2.9 As a result, we are now seeing a steady
migration of manufacturing activities and contracts from UK sites
and suppliers. This poses a direct threat to the wealth creating
capacity of our local communities, both in terms of direct employment
with the OEMs, and jobs and businesses in the supply chain.
3.1 As a key customer of the aerospace industry,
Government decisions, particularly those made by the MoD, play
a significant role in determining economic and industrial impacts
in our communities.
3.2 Based on AIRLINE's recent fact-finding
and research on defence procurement policies, it appears that
issues of defence capability and service needs, together with
cost and programme timetables (especially over the last 10-15
years), are at the forefront in decision making.
3.3 The Government decision-making process
continues to pay insufficient methodical and systematic attention
to a range of economic factors and implications. Insufficient
information is generated and analysis undertaken on the industrial
impact and economic factors associated with procurement decisions.
In AIRLINE's view, the quality of decision-making suffers accordingly,
and the long-term strategic benefits of this industry to the prosperity
of UK aerospace communities are placed at risk.
3.4 Among the factors that should be addressed
3.5 AIRLINE research suggests that these
factors are not yet being addressed methodically and systematically,
for the following reasons:
4.1 Our view is that, although the prime
aerospace contractors remain heavily locked in to the UK as a
source of skills, innovation and supplies for the time being,
the situation is changing fast. The UK Government must be alerted
to the potential threat posed by these companies continuing along
the path of globalisation.
4.2 Urgent consideration therefore needs
to be given to the nature and scale of UK Government support for
aerospace R&D and launch investment/loans. The goal must be
to improve this country's attractiveness vis a" vis
competitor nations that are providing a much more positive investment
4.3 The Government should also be developing
(a) an explicit policy on the economic development implications
of its aerospace/defence procurement activities and (b) a methodology
for measuring and justifying the UK impact of specific procurement
decisions over a certain value.
4.4 We can make a choice about the future
of UK aerospace. We can choose to prevent this crucial industry
haemorrhaging from the UK economy by recognising its strategic
importance and maintaining an investment environment that is conducive
to that continuing role. Or we can let it wither on the vine and
see our competitor nations benefit from the export of UK skills
and expertise.

Ureteroscopy is a procedure that removes stones and stone fragments. It doesn't require an incision and is usually performed under general anesthesia.
The doctor passes a small telescope (called a ureterscope) through the urethra and bladder and up the ureter until the stone can be seen. Small stones are often removed in one piece. Larger stones are broken using a laser and pieces of the stone are removed. A stent (small tube) may be left in the ureter for several days after treatment to make sure that the kidney drains well.
Is ureteroscopy right for me?
Ureteroscopy may be a good option for
- Stones in any location in the ureter or kidney
- Stones that may or may not be seen on an x-ray
- Stones smaller than 1.5 cm, anywhere in the urinary tract
- In very carefully selected situations, patients with who cannot be safely treated by ESWL or PCNL may be treated by ureteroscopy. For example, people who are on blood thinners for heart or blood clotting disorders may be treated without stopping their medication and pregnant women may be safely treated during pregnancy.
Ureteroscopy may NOT be a good option for those with:
- Large stones - Destruction of stones greater than 15 mm may generate too many fragments to completely clear.
- History of bladder or ureteral reconstruction - Patients who have had their bladders removed for cancer or who have had major bladder or ureteral reconstruction may be poor candidates for ureteroscopy.
- Chronic urinary tract infection - The only way to stop chronic infection associated with kidney stones is to completely remove the stones. To minimize the chances of leaving fragments behind, percutaneous surgery may be a better option for patients with larger stones (about 10 mm).
Success rate of ureteroscopy
Success rates are generally high because the stone or stone fragments are removed. It is very unusual for patients to require any further treatment after ureteroscopic stone treatment. At the HealthEast Kidney Stone Institute, 95 percent of patients who undergo ureteroscopy require only a single treatment.
How you'll feel after treatment
After ureteroscopy, most patients experience irritation of the bladder and urethra. You may have to urge to urinate frequently and feel some burning when urinating. Many of these symptoms are due to irritation from the stent. You may also experience blood in your urine, as well as some discomfort from the stent.
Call your doctor if you experience:
- Increasing pain - May be sign of ureteral injury or blockage
- Heavy bleeding or blood clots - May be a sign of ureteral injury
- Fever - May indicate a kidney infection
- Feeling unwell - It is OK to feel tired but it is not OK to feel sick
Follow-up after ureteroscopy
Ureteral stents are generally removed a week after the procedure, during a doctor's visit. A CT scan is usually performed one month after the procedure if a laser was used to break up the stone. The scan checks on the kidneys and makes sure that all stone fragments have been cleared.

At best, the World Junior Championship in Buffalo could be characterized as bittersweet for Edmonton fans. As supporters of Team Canada, there was naturally the disappointment of the third-period collapse against the Russians, where the opposition scored five goals in the final stanza to snatch away gold.
On top of that, there was the fact Oilers draft pick Olivier Roy lost the No. 1 goaltending job on Team Canada to Mark Visentin (a Phoenix Coyotes pick) after getting shelled by Sweden in the round-robin.
But not all was lost. Anton Lander once again had a strong tourney for Sweden, winning faceoffs, providing leadership while wearing the captain's 'C' on his sweater and contributing four points in six games. True, when Lander hit the post on a failed shootout attempt against the Russians, it sent Sweden to the bronze medal game instead of the final, but worse things have happened in a young career.
In terms of his future in Edmonton, Lander is looking forward to it. The young Swede is currently playing for Timra in the Swedish Elite League, where he will likely spend at least another season. But one of his former teammates on the squad is Magnus Paajarvi, the esteemed Oilers rookie. Lander told me Paajarvi spoke very highly of playing in Edmonton, both as an organization and as a city.
While fans may need to be patient, Lander is certainly a prospect worth waiting for.
In terms of other Edmonton prospects in the tourney, Toni Rajala was very quiet for the Finnish squad, which had a great round-robin before a disappointing medal round (particularly in a fifth-place game loss to Switzerland). Martin Marincin missed most of the tourney for Slovakia due to a suspension on a nasty and stupid elbow against the Americans in the preliminary round.
Curtis Hamilton looked good for Canada, however. A strapping 6-foot-2, 209-pound power forward, Hamilton went into the dirty areas and displayed some deft hands for the Canucks. Overall, he sniped four goals in seven games for the Canadians.
So while this tournament didn't have Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle or Magnus Paajarvi making big noise for the Oilers franchise, there was definitely some top-end talent that you should expect to see in the copper and blue in the not-too-distant future.

|Clay, R., Ekstrom, J., McClellan, R., Moreno, R., Shutes, S., Stattersfield, A. & Temple, H.
This species has been listed as Endangered because it has an extremely small occupied breeding range, and there is now evidence that chick predation by introduced mice is causing very low breeding success and is likely to be causing the population to decline. It has not been recorded from Tristan de Cunha for 35 years, and, were it to be confirmed as extinct there, it may qualify for uplisting to Critically Endangered.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
Pterodroma incerta breeds only on Gough Island, Tristan da Cunha (St Helena to UK). It is absent from Nightingale where there is no suitable habitat, and probably also from Inaccessible, although it is possible that a small number of birds could breed there because there have been no surveys during the winter breeding season (P. G. Ryan in litt. 1999), and Tristan, where though the population was estimated to be 100-200 pairs in 1972-1974, and there may only be a few scattered pairs remaining. On Gough, the first quantitative population estimate indicates a total of around 1.8 million pairs (Cuthbert 2004), considerably larger than the earlier estimate of at least 20,000 pairs (P. G. Ryan in litt. 1999). However, a recent estimate that takes into account occupancy rates of burrows suitable for the species halves this number, indicating a population size of 860,000 pairs varying between 630,000 and 1,100,000 pairs (Rexer-Huber et al. 2014). Several studies revealed very low breeding success: less than 20% (Cuthbert and Hilton 2004, Wanless et al. 2007, Dilley et al. 2015). At sea, it is practically restricted to the South Atlantic, occurring off the east coast of South America to the west coast of Africa (Enticott 1991, P. G. Ryan in litt. 1999), occasionally rounding the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean (Hobbs in litt. 2009).

On Gough, Cuthbert (2004) estimated 1.8 million breeding pairs in 2001, suggesting a world population of around 5 million birds. The population size was re-estimated by Rexer-Huber et al. (2014), taking into account the occupancy rates of suitable burrows in 2010 and 2012. This new estimate indicates a population size of 860,000 pairs varying between 630,000 and 1,100,000 pairs. Because occupancy rates varied interannually, the species' total breeding area was only estimated crudely, and burrow densities were assumed to be similar throughout the habitat, this estimate should be treated with caution. However, stochastic population models computing a modelled breeding success of 24.7% and parameters estimated for other gadfly petrels (adult survival = 93%, immature survival = 79% and recruitment age = 6 years) suggested population decline of 0.7% per annum (Wanless et al. 2012). Given that breeding success seems to be even lower (less than 20%; Cuthbert and Hilton 2004, Wanless et al. 2012, Dilley et al. 2015) and that adult and immature survival rates were probably over-estimated as they were those from gadfly species not exposed to predation by subantarctic skuas Catharacta antarctica, the population might be decreasing at a faster rate.
Trend Justification: Stochastic population models computing a modelled breeding success of 24.7% and parameters estimated for other gadfly petrels (adult survival = 93%, immature survival = 79% and recruitment age = 6 years) suggested population decline of 0.7% per annum (Wanless et al. 2012).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It feeds mainly on squid with some fish and crustaceans (Klages and Cooper 1997). It nests in burrows dug in peaty soils in fern-bush vegetation from 50-300 m on Gough and formerly, at higher elevations on Tristan. Nothing is known of age of first breeding, breeding frequency or survival (P. G. Ryan in litt. 1999). Heavily affected by Hurricane Catarina in March 2004, 354 birds were recorded blown inland, all in heavy moult and near starvation (Bugoni et al. 2007). Larger numbers of females among these were thought to be due to difference in at-sea distribution or in body condition (Bugoni et al. 2007). Evidence suggests moult is completed during exodus period and before egg-laying, which occurs from 15 June to 21 July (Cuthbert 2004).
|Terrestrial; Marine
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Movement patterns:
|Full Migrant
|Congregatory (and dispersive)
|Major Threat(s):
|This species was once of major economic importance to the Tristan Islanders as it was one of the few sources of food in winter but, by the 1940s, the birds had become scarce (Richardson 1984). It is very unlikely to be exploited today (P. G. Ryan in litt. 1999, A. Bond in litt. 2016). On Tristan, rats and mice are present and have probably driven it to extinction (Richardson 1984, R. Wanless et al. 2012). On Gough, the only threat is an introduced predator, the house mouse Mus musculus and recent research reveals that mice are predating chicks and causing very low breeding success which is driving the long-term decline (Cuthbert and Hilton 2004, Wanless et al. 2007, Wanless et al. 2012, Cuthbert et al. 2013, Dilley et al. 2015). The large population of native Southern Skua Stercorarius antarcticus feed on seabirds including P. incerta (Richardson 1984). Night strikes (as a result of being attracted to lights) are a further threat. This has been ameliorated at the Gough meteorological station, but may still pose a problem on ships at sea (Glass and Ryan 2013). The mortality associated with Hurricane Catarina points to a potential threat from hurricane activity in the South Atlantic, postulated to increase in frequency with global warming (Bugoni et al. 2007).

Southern Cal Holds One Shot Lead Over Arizona State After Third Round of NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship
May 21, 2009
OWINGS MILLS, Md. ─ Southern California freshman Jennifer Song fired a 1-under par 71 and three players are among the top-20 overall as the Trojans shot a 6-over par 294 and vaulted into the lead after three rounds of play in the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship being played at Caves Valley Golf Course. Southern Cal enters the final round of play with a 54-hole score of 26-over par 890, leading No. 1-ranked Arizona State by one stroke and No. 2-ranked UCLA by two strokes.
The 72-hole tournament, being played at the par-72, 6,443-yard course, wraps up on Friday, May 22. The first group of players from the top three teams will tee off at 1 p.m. from the first hole.
Southern Cal has been steady through 54 holes, with no team score higher than 13-over par 301. No. 1-ranked Arizona State, which entered Thursday's tied for fourth place, shot a tournament-best 3-over par 291 in the third round and stands in second place at 27-over par 891. A third school from the Pacific 10 Conference, UCLA, is only two strokes off the pace, in third place at 29-over par 893.
"Our overall goal was to improve each day and I know we moved up and are now in first," Southern Cal Head Coach Andrea Gaston said. "You just have to go out there and play this golf course. If the opportunity for birdies is out there you have to go get them. We're still going to have to play really great golf tomorrow to win this, we can't just go out and protect this."
Song led the Trojans with a 1-under par in the third round and took advantage of higher scores from some of the players ahead to move into the individual lead in the field of 126 golfers with a score of even-par 216. Junior teammate Belen Mozo and sophomore Lizette Salas are tied for 15th place at 7-over par 223, while junior Caroline Kim is in a tie for 57th place at 16-over par 232.
"I wasn't trying to force myself out there, just play one shot at a time, give it my best and if there is a chance for a birdie I said thank you and if there is a chance for a par I say thank you again," Song said of her round. "We are mentally and physically prepared. We've been preparing for this event for one year and all of my teammates are really ready and pumped up. We've been having a lot of second places and I think this is our chance to win."
Arizona State senior Azahara Munoz is tied for fifth place at 5-over par 221, while sophomore Jaclyn Sweeney is just behind, tying for eighth place at 6-over par 222. Senior Jennifer Osborn is tied for 20th place at 8-over par 224 and freshman Carlota Ciganda is tied for 24th place at 9-over par 225.
UCLA sophomore Maria Jose Uribe, who fired a 6-under par 66 on Wednesday, struggled with a 5-over par 77 and is tied for second place with Purdue senior Maria Hernandez, at 2-over par 218.
UC-Davis sophomore Alice Kim, competing as an individual, is in fourth place at 3-over par 219 after firing a 2-under par 70. Central Florida senior Stephanie Connelly, a native of nearby Pasadena, Md., is tied for fifth place with Munoz and Pepperdine freshman Lisa McCloskey at 5-over par 221.

Quick Reference
A fundamental result concerning bodies that interact according to inverse square laws, such as Coulomb's law of electrostatics and Newton's law of gravitation. It states that a system consisting of such bodies cannot be in stable static equilibrium. The Reverend Samuel Earnshaw (1805–1888) proved this result in 1842. Earnshaw's theorem means that neither a planetary system nor an atom can be composed of static bodies.

Fast Drain Cleaning with BioOne Commercial Liquid Cleaner
Most clogs in home drains come from grease, fat, and oil. When these clogs are shallow, homeowners tend to clear them using inexpensive chemical drain cleaners. These cleaners act fast, but they won't clear large clogs, leave additional grease and oils behind, and are caustic enough to begin eroding pipes and drains as they work. BioOne is different, since it's a commercial-grade biological drain cleaner.
With BioOne, there are no caustic chemicals. Instead, hungry bacteria break down the clog safely, without risking damage to your system or the caustic dangers of harsh chemicals. BioOne is easy to use and safe for drains, pipes, sewers, and septic systems.
BioOne is part of EPA's Safer Choice Program and is now carried by our service professionals!

James Donaldson gives a summary in 1877 (note: this was referenced by Gardthausen in his 1879 edition of Griechische Palaeographie.)
The Theological review, Volume 14 (1877)
The Shepherd of Hermas
James Donaldson review of:
Oscar Gebhardt and Adolph Harnack's Hermas edition from the Apostolic Fathers series
Guilielmus Heyne on the dating of Hermas
Heinrich Behm on dating and authorship and more
George H. Schodde on the Ethiopic Hermas
Walter Cassels (Supernatural Religion). (The last was actually only referenced en passant.)
p. 504-519
Note, that is not a terminus ante quem, it is given as a terminus post quem, the earliest date. The earliest date for Sinaiticus. And, historically, the 6th century has its own difficulties, clashing with other positions taken for Sinaiticus authenticity, leaving us with a strong evidence that can be consistent best with 19th century creation. To be clear, in textual circles even 6th century would have been late enough to make the convoluted theories of Hort that much more impossible.... Putting all these circumstances together, we think that the best solution of the problem is to suppose that we have, as the basis of our present Greek manuscripts, a recension and modernized version belonging to the sixth or seventh century, and that the editor used all the materials at his command, having probably in his possession large portions of the original text, but filling up gaps from some Latin translations, introducing parts from some modifications of the text, such as those of pseudo-Athanasius, and clothing the whole in the language current among the Christian populace of his day. We may add that the texts of Hilgenfeld and Gebhardt partake somewhat of the character which we have assigned to our sixth-century recension. They have used the Latin translations to amend the Greek, and where the Greek is defective they have re-translated the Latin into Greek.
The hypothesis we have proposed we do not deem by any means certain. The subject is one which awaits fuller investigation. We have been compelled to omit considerable portions of our argument, for they would occupy too much space; but it is enough to draw attention to some of the most prominent characteristics of this curious problem. It is not one of great consequence, as far as the substance of Hermas is concerned. It has much more to do with the date of the Sinaitic Codex, and the evidence points to a strong confirmation of Hilgenfeld's opinion that that Codex is not earlier than the sixth century. - p. 514
As far as can be determined, the position of Donaldson never received a response from Sinaiticus 4th century defenders.
Some of the earlier material is here:
Sinaiticus - Hermas, Barnabas linguistic, history anomalies
Steven Avery - Oct 31, 2014
http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=21642&sid=e5a856cc477f7deb3a86e7e5 1ceadc54#p21642
The Gardthausen section is when the dating of Sinaiticus was still subject to scholarly discussion. Thus he mentions the 500s in reference to Hilgenfeld and Donaldson (p. 145) Gardthausen is summarized as early fifth century, according to Ropes.
Viktor Emil Gardthausen (1843-1925)
Griechische Palaeographie
Viktor Emil Gardthausen
p. 143-149
Es sind aber allerdings Versuche gemacht, ihn bedeutend weiter herabaur�cken. Hofffmann h�lt die Ambrosianische und die syrisch rescribirte Ilias f�r �lter, als den cod. Sinaiticus, den Hilgenfeld und Donaldson aus sprachlichen Gr�nden in das 6. Jahrhundert setzten, weil im Alten und Neuen Testament der wirkliche Optativ �fter, beim Hermas nur einmal vorkommt. Auch solche Formen wie (Grk) finden sich nur beim Hermas im c. Sinaiticus und in den Leipziger Fragmenten.But there are, however, attempts made him much further back zoom. Hofffmann maintains the Ambrosian and Syrian palimpsest Iliad as older than the cod. Sinaiticus, while Hilgenfeld and Donaldson placed it in the 6th century for linguistic reasons, as in the Old and New Testaments the genuine optative occurs frequently [Donaldson, p. 511], while in Hermas it occurs only once. Even such forms as (Grk) can be found only when Hermas in c. Sinaiticus and the Leipzig fragments.
This shows us that Hilgenfeld was including linguistic reasons for Sinaiticus to not be 4th century.
The Syriac palimpsest of the Iliad referenced from Karl August Julius Hoffman (1812-1869), Codex Nitriensis, is dated to the 6th century. The Ambrosian Iliad is an illuminated ms. placed in the 5th century.
For a review of the Hilgenfeld-Tischendorf differences:
The Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record, Volume 5 (1861)
The Age of the Sinaitic Codex
p. 495-500
Theological Review (1864)
Notes on the Codex Sinaiticus
The abject scribal (leaving aside textual) corruptness of the manuscript, later emphasized out by Burgon in 1871, was one point emphasized:
This was one of the major Hilgenfeld concerns that fourth century was far too early. Donaldson confirmed Hilgenfeld, from the linguistic elements of Barnabas and Hermas, some of which is above.Undue weight, in his opinion, has been attached by the editor to the beauty and form of the uncial characters. An un-theological friend well versed in palaeography, whose opinion he asked, drew from an inspection of the writing the same conclusion at which Hilgenfeld had arrived through another process,—viz. that the MS. could not be older than the sixth century. ... The text of this Codex of the New Testament is disfigured by constant mis-spellings, and abounds in violations of all the laws of flexion and syntax. ... Hilgenfeld sees in the barbarism of the Sinai tic text clear proofs of a later age and a declining culture, and thinks our MS. may possibly have been the work of some monks of the convent of St Catharine, where it was discovered, and which was not founded till 530 A.D. p. 215-216
... traces of illiterate carelessness. ... In the Sinaiticus, these phenomena reach their height The force of Hilgenfeld's argument depends on the character of the variations exhibited by the Codex Sinaiticus,—whether they are merely the less usual forms of words, and modes of expression and construction, such as we know existed in the Hellenistic and colloquial Greek of the apostolic age, and would naturally find a place in the Christian writings of that period,—or whether they are such as are evidently traceable to the simple growth of barbarism. p. 216
... could not, therefore, have been written earlier than the sixth century, subsequent to the foundation of St Catharine's monastery in 530 A.D Hilgenfeld regards the internal character of this MS. as in full accordance with this supposition of its date. He looks on it as a hasty transcript by ignorant and incompetent scribes, whose astounding blunders have caused endless trouble to its numerous correctors. It abounds in omissions; which can only be ascribed to haste, as this is not a usual fault in the worst manuscripts. Hilgenfeld has given a list of these. Some blunders, resulting obviously from the same cause, are scarcely credible. ... p. 21-220
Judging from the instances alleged by Hilgenfeld, which have been taken from all parts of the New Testament and which we have in every instance carefully verified by a reference to the original text, we should say that the Sinaitic text is generally very corrupt, abounding with extraordinary violations both of grammar and of sense. We have rarely turned to a single passage referred to by Hilgenfeld, without finding in the context some other example of corruption... (p. 221)

Quote from Donaldson about proposed emendations that made it into Barnabas"Barnabas... and it contains many of the conjectural emendations previously proposed by scholars."
James Donaldson (1864)
This is very similar to the phenomenon of gearing a forgery to include the historical speculations of scholars.
As discussed:
And this next explanation is stronger."warnings of Lykurgos, could not resist the investigations of the profoundly learned Egyptian scholar, Lepsius, who was the first to detect the cooked-up text, partly derived from his own works and the works of Chevalier Bunsen" - Simonides
Gentlemen's Magazine (1856)
https://books.google.com/books?id=bBg2AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA441The precise confirmation should have been a warning, but it played to the pride of Lepsius.About 1855, Simonides offered to Karl Richard Lepsius, then Professor of Egyptology at Berlin and considered the founder of modern Egyptology, a Greek manuscript written by one Uranius of Alexandria and containing a history of the kings of Egypt. Delighted to find an ancient work that so precisely confirmed his own theories on the early history of Egypt, Lepsius advanced 2,000 thalers to the Prussian Academy to allow it to buy the manuscript (assuming a rough equivalency between an 1855 thaler and an 1855 dollar, that would be some $60,000 today).
The Jesus' Wife Papyrus in the History of Forgery (2015)
Christopher. Jones
And I believe similar is proposed in the NT. Emendations that match other proposals (perhaps "eye of a needle" changed would qualify, Matthew 19:24).
Even discussed by Jan Krans.
This matching of historical speculation is discussed in the BCHF forum as well.
Sinaiticus - Hermas, Barnabas linguistic, history anomalies
Where I do indicate we should be cautious about the Donaldson quote, as we do not have the specifics.
Simply put, Donaldson, for linguistic reasons, believes that the Barnabas text is not an authentic 4th-century Greek text. Later, he goes into this more.
Note: his reference to: "contains many of the conjectural emendations previously proposed by scholars" may be ironic. It has often occurred that non-genuine texts base themselves on modern scholarship to fill in the gaps, and has been a smoking ink-spot. And Simonides was accused of using published texts and emendation suggestion improvements at times. However, I would not press the point without first knowing many of the emendations, and also whether they were published as a group, and how strong are the matches.
This quote is special, and will get its own thread.
"There are many circumstances in this narrative calculated to awaken suspicion, and there are other circumstances of an equally suspicious nature which I have not mentioned. But those who are most competent to judge, have allowed that it seems a genuine ancient manuscript."

Shadow Someone for a Day
Is your high schooler starting to think about college and her future? She has plenty of time to decide on a profession, but there's no harm in getting a jumpstart on the brainstorming. A great way to give her some guidance is to help her find someone to shadow for a day to find out more about an interesting career. The benefits of this activity are immeasurable as it gives her insight into different workplaces and a better idea of what appeals to her.
What You Need:
- Notepad
- Pen
What You Do:
- Find a trusted friend or business that's willing to let your child shadow. Have her brainstorm a career that she would like to explore. For example, if she is interested in pet care and thinking about going to veterinary school, ask a local veterinarian if she minds being shadowed for the day.
- Make sure she asks the individual that she would like to shadow politely, and arranges the shadowing at that person's convenience. If it turns out the person is unable to be shadowed (some offices won't allow it), don't be discouraged. Simply help her think of someone else to ask.
- If she successfully arranges a date to shadow someone for a day, be sure she arrives on time, dresses appropriately, and brings along a notepad and pencil to take notes about the experience.
- When she is done shadowing, make sure she thanks the individual for her time and sends a polite thank you note.
- Have your child reflect on her notes and write up a summary of her experience that she can look back on. A few suggestions for reflection topics are as follows: Do you prefer working indoors or outdoors? What are the best and worst parts of the job you observed? Do you prefer an active workplace or sitting at a desk? If you observed any customer service at the workplace, what did you think of working with the public? Is there any element of that job that you would desire in any job you worked (ex: a science element or creative thinking)? What types of volunteer experiences would give you more insight into this or another job? If your job requires you to work or be on-call during the holidays, how would you feel about that? How many hours a day does the person you shadowed work? How does that compare to other jobs? What is the salary range for people in this profession?

This single toomba sitar is from Bhargava & Co. It comes strung in the 6-string style; with 4 main, 2 chikari and 11 sympathetic strings, approximately 48-49 inches in length. Includes extra string set, mizrabs, information and tuning guide (Book or CD-Rom as stock allows), and nylon case. While most double toomba sitars are strung in the 7-string style and single toomba sitars in the 6-string style, you can change the style of your sitar by re-stringing it with the appropriate number and gauge of strings. Single toomba sitars, which have fewer inlays and fewer carvings, offer an elegant alternative to the double toomba sitars. Without the small neck resonator these sitars are less top heavy as compared to the traditional double toomba sitar. Bhargava & Co. was established in 1948 as wholesalers of musical instruments. Today they are a manufacturer and a leading exporter of musical instruments. Decorations and colors will vary. These are all individually made and will be unique.

A thought.it reads:
They only grip tight when the wheel is slippinga postscript is here written:
Orwell understood, and yet missed a truth
Of the transformation from free to uncouth--
Not how, but why the wheel they are gripping
Fingers white - with their eyes blood shot
Is it just the season - is it just our lot?
Or do Dracon and Nero have a brotherhood
What is the driver doing - in his driver's chair
Does he think at all, has he understood
Why does he have both his hands in the air?
He hits a bump - and now the chariot is tipping
It wouldn't be, had the wheel he'd been gripping
Light and firm and measured and fair --
They only grip tight when the wheel is slipping.
a pass-word:
secure sovereignty

This would be a great feature; I'd love to see it get in. There is an alternative, though -- the db owner can create an asymmetric key-pair and publish the public key, e.g. as an attachment to a document with a known ID. Writers can then encrypt their messages and post them as attachments to new docs. Even though anyone will be able to see them, only the db owner can decrypt. You do need decryption in your validation functions, but they can be written in Erlang and call into the standard crypto package. --Jens On Sep 28, 2011, at 5:24 AM, "Jason Smith" <email@example.com> wrote: > A while back, Chris Anderson mentioned an idea for an "inbox database": > > * CouchDB allows non-members (non-readers) to write to the database. > * The validate_doc_update() functions still approve all changes, of course > > I wrote an implementation and submitted the patches to JIRA.

The mysterious megalithic-style circle of boulders on the western flanks of Mt. Tamalpais tend to trigger the curiosity of all those who visit. The location boasts sweeping views of the steep bald hillsides leading down to Stinson Beach and Bolinas Lagoon all the way to Ocean Beach in SF and beyond.
Although the scattered cloud cover seemed like it would make for a fantastic sunset, a thick haze over the ocean blocked most of the color and it wasn't until the Ranger came by and asked everyone to leave that a streak of pink appeared for one last picture.
I must say I'm always disappointed that they don't leave the gates open longer so that one can enjoy the hour or two after sunset. On the other hand it's nice to give the wildlife some space and temporary human-free habitat.

Wisconsin Wins Third Title In Four Years
March 22, 2009
BOSTON (AP) -Jessie Vetter stopped 37 shots for an NCAA record 14th shutout of the season - and her second in a national championship game - and Wisconsin won its third women's hockey title in four years on Sunday with a 5-0 victory over Mercyhurst.
Vetter earned a second Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player award - she also won it with back-to-back shutouts in the 2006 tournament - to go with this year's Patty Kazmaier Award as the top player in women's college hockey.
Angie Keseley had a goal and two assists, and Erika Lawler had three assists for the Badgers (34-2-5) to join Vetter as three-time national champions. Meghan Duggan had a goal and an assist and Brooke Ammerman and Malee Windmeier also scored for Wisconsin.
Hillary Pattenden stopped 27 shots for Mercyhurst (31-6-0), which reached the Frozen Four for the first time; the other three teams in Boston all had NCAA title pedigrees.
The Lakers had won 28 of their last 29 games, including a 5-4 victory over two-time champion Minnesota in the semifinals. Wisconsin advanced to the championship with a 5-1 victory over Minnesota-Duluth in a rematch of the last two title games.
The teams played a scoreless first period, then Ammerman broke the tie with 14:32 left in the second period when she picked up a loose puck on the side of the net and backhanded it past Pattenden. With 11:12 left, Lawler faked a defender and slid the puck to Alycia Matthews, whose shot was tipped into the net by Duggan.
Just 1:50 later, the Badgers made it 3-0 when Keseley and Lawler used some back-and-forth passing to get the goalie out of position. Windmeier ran the score to 4-0 early in the third period, and Lawler worked another give-and-go with Knight to make it 5-0.
With two players - Lawler and Duggan - from Massachusetts and Knight from New Hampshire, the top-seeded Badgers managed to win the crowd's affection from the underdog Lakers.
Mercyhurst, a Catholic college in Erie, Pa., went undefeated in the four-team College Hockey America conference and beat St. Lawrence in the national quarterfinals. Forward Meghan Agosta, an unprecedented three-time finalist for the Kazmaier Award and an Olympic gold medalist for Canada in Turin, led the nation in goals and assists per game.
But the Lakers, with 15 freshmen on the roster, couldn't get past Vetter, even with a pair of power plays in the final three minutes.
It was Vetter's fourth Frozen Four shutout and the 38th of her career, also NCAA records.

Pavement's Greatest Hits
The unthinkable has happened.
Also in Slate, Zach Baron discusses the Pavement reunion and the end of baby boomer cultural hegemony.
I come in peace to chat about Quarantine the Past (Matador Records), a new Pavement compilation with an ultra-fine title. Dropped on the occasion of a reunion tour, the name rings with the personality of what was "the finest rock band of the 90s," according to the certified accounting of Robert Christgau. Recontextualized as an imperative, the phrase sparks from a lyric on this record's first track, "Gold Soundz," a song like a chunk of quartz—jagged angles, splashy jangles, jazzy spangles in the yellow sun. It is a self-doubt song making the best of it as tunefully as its own title arrogantly promises.
"You're empty and I'm empty, and you can never quarantine the past," is the lyric. The quick, foxy tail of the Q slides into a verb carrying the squawk of official alarm. The phrase is a mouthful for a marketing department to choke on. It is syncopated to measure the gravity of nostalgia and the pull against it, indicative of a lyrical voice that is often of several minds about any number of things, settling on ambiguity as a controlling idea and ambivalence as a point of view, cultivating a double-negative capability.
True to form, Pavement has directed the art of Quarantine the Past with an eye toward grotty collages and text scratched as if in the back of a trigonometry textbook. Here we have a hellfire prog-rock dragon warring, perhaps, with a phalanx of men hoisting a silhouetted flag—appropriate to a group that did notable work in the specialty subgenre of the throwaway anthem. No lyrics, no liner notes. The booklet credits the producers but not the players, which is in line with Pavement's cultivated air of obscurity—a standoffishness (and stepoffishness) entwined with its sense of itself as on one level a practical joke. At this writing, the band's bio on Matador's Web site pretty much just shuffles a few Pavement-appropriate names and dates into the text of the REM entry on the All Music Guide: "Pavement decided to return to being a rock band with 2006's Monster. … [T]he album won praise from a number of old-school critics who had been reluctant to praise the band, since they didn't 'rock' in conventional terms." You don't need Freud to tell you about the hostility of pranksters.
The record has 23 songs, recorded between the winter side of 1989 and 1999's end of the party. Sequenced asynchrously, perhaps in the belief that the concepts of artistic progress and linear time are a touch overrated, it is engineered such that apprentice work and mature numbers flow together and the mood of the whole swings smoothly. It would be churlish to carp that Pavement has erred in excluding "Texas Never Whispers"—and churlishness is among the band's modes—and the carper would have to concede that it was right to include "Debris Slide." That number is ace punk-pop, its title phrase sung as if a debris slide involved ripping a wave or nailing a skateboard trick, but anyway, let's not be churlish. Quarantine the Past rates as "the best of Pavement," as a subtitle printed on a sticker says. It looks pretty good next to, and even between, the two volumes of the Eagles' Greatest Hits.
The concept of Pavement's Greatest Hits is unthinkable, it having had only one fractional hit in "Cut Your Hair" in 1994, when, according to the claims of hype, Pavement was the "smart Nirvana" and the "next Nirvana." The band showed an obstinate disinterest in living up to those claims, and the obstinacy was part of the act. This pose—something like the "calculated surliness" Ralph Ellison heard in John Coltrane—partly involved writing songs about songs. "And we're coming to the chorus now," says the last line of the first verse of "Gold Soundz." Clever. Too clever? What do you have against cleverness? "In the best of songs," writes the critic and Dylanologist Christopher Ricks, "there is always something about what it is to write a song without in any way doing away with the fact that it is about things other than the song."
To trip the nostalgia trap: 1994 was a year for "Loser" and "Gin & Juice" and Parklife and "Cornflake Girl," the year of Pearl Jam vs. Ticketmaster and Kurt Cobain with a shotgun. We were up against the Dave Matthews Band, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Korn. On the strength of "Cut Your Hair," a song about girls and boys and artists and repertoire, Pavement had its broadest brush with the mainstream, going on Jay Leno's Tonight Show, five young men in no hurry.
On the drums, a Virginia gentleman named Steve West raps out martial rhythms and taps sequins from his cymbals. (West is a subject of "Westie Can Drum," a band-about-a-band B-side about keeping time in the fourth dimension.) The grinning lad on tambourine is Bob Nastanovich. Originally hired to back up and baby-sit Pavement's first drummer, Nastanovich contributes color by way of percussion and charm by way of extroversion, bouncing like a mascot and hooting in falsetto. He elsewhere supplies bloops of Moog, Atari-type explosive crashes, backup cackles, stage patter, more cowbell, so on. The bassist, Mark Ibold, has a natural gait suiting the band's Western streak—easy trots, brash gallops, abrupt giddy-ups.
The group's founders play guitar. One is Scott Kannberg, identified as Spiral Stairs in the riddling packaging of the band's earliest recording, as befits a rhythm guitarist given to swirls and scales of drone. The other is Stephen Malkmus, or S.M., who spends much of the Tonight clip addressing "Cut Your Hair" to his own bangs—a familiar pose in the days before he learned to be less shy with his vulnerability and more direct about working his looks. He emits some auk-like calls to turn the audience off, shreds his solo diligently, and is almost even believable when sneering the line "I really don't care," the wannabe slacker. It is unclear whether the final crash of noise in this performance really results from Jay Leno's handshake accidentally knocking Malkmus's guitar from its strap. It is altogether plausible that this is a practical joke. Again, this is a band that convinced the author of a fanzine-ish authorized biography that "the National Word Association of America"—an organization with no proven existence outside of those quotation marks—officially deemed pavement the 20th-most pleasant word in the English language. In any case, as an advertisement for art noise, the crash ranks with Kim Gordon's go-go dancing.
Who do you suppose would win a rap battle between Alex Ross and S/FJ? I ask because Ross once wrote a sturdy piece on Pavement that, though eloquent in recognizing that the band "protects the core of its mystery," still enhances that mystery—enriches a shroud, say—in its reading of Pavement lyrics. Ross takes the stands that they're pure nonsense—meaningful nonsense, but nonsense nonetheless—which is impure nonsense. The slipstream-of-consciousness verbal arrangements include all sorts of mean quips, rough drafts of riddles, automatic puns, and novelistic details insistent on making throwaway lines seem indisposable, and the sensibility generally coheres in a recognizable literary way. Sometimes we get hard-core koans, with the refrain of "Range Life," making sense at least six ways: "If I could settle down, then I would settle down."
The best showcase for this lyrical gift—this Dada da-da-dum—might be the fourth track on Quarantine the Past, "Stereo," a song busy with bubbling bass, chatting guitars, Plan-9-from-outer-space alien noises, and hooks that parody themselves, tweaking before giving way to murderous guitar squalls. It is another song about song, a rock song like a rap song about holding the mic—"Hey! Listen to me! I'm on the stereo!"—but sort of done as a score for Saturday daytime television. Malkmus sings the line "pigs they tend to wiggle when they walk" like bouncing a ball across syllables at the bottom of a cartoon; a taunting play on words about checking "signatures" conflates the band's musical staff with its legal one; we head into each chorus with a dry "Hi-ho, Silver!", alone on the range. The song "rocks" very hard in conventional terms, its only disappointment being its indifference to ending neatly. Pavement can be wary that way, suspicious of big finishes, tidy endings, grand finales, and fancy paraphs. Maybe they deserve an A-minus for effort for that reason, the half-grade docked on account of their strongly mixed feelings about the duty to leave us wanting more.

Managing Large Groups of People
During the course of business there can be situations that involve a large number of employees, customers, business associates or shareholders. A good manager must know how to manage large groups of people effectively in such situations. It could be a gathering of a large group for the purpose of an internal training session or seminar, or a business conference involving members of various sales teams and sales distributors, or a product launch party, or a shareholders' meeting. In all such situations the manager must know the art of managing the group successfully and conduct the proceedings in a cohesive manner to achieve the desired results.
Playing the Role of a Facilitator
The manager's role in handling a large group of people is more of a facilitator. It may be an occasion to facilitate an interactive session or a meeting between the employees and the management, or simply an in-house training workshop for a large group of workers. In every case, the manager should be able to present the aim and purpose of the occasion to all and define the course of the proceedings so that everything moves in an organized manner. In some situations, the manager may require dividing the large group into a few subgroups. He may appoint a head for each subgroup for more effective outcome. In other situations, there may be a group leader who will chair the proceedings, in case the manager himself is not the chairperson for the occasion.
The facilitator is not merely a speaker or a mediator in a group. His primary job is to ensure that every participant gets adequate opportunity to contribute and that the desired goals of the event are achieved individually as well as collectively. The group must remain within the defined parameters of time and focused agenda of the meeting and it must continue to move in the desired direction.
Techniques to Manage Large Groups
One of the smart ideas about how to manage large groups of people effectively is to use specific tools that involve people's participation rather than letting them remain mute spectators to the proceedings. One of the common tools a manager will use is "Go Round" in which every participant gets a chance to speak or contribute one by one. Brainstorming sessions may have to be avoided in large groups because they can turn chaotic and the situation may spiral out of control. Energizers or group games can be introduced when it seems that the group is losing track or feeling tired or bored. Games can also serve as icebreakers when it is important to familiarize people and make them comfortable with each other.
Audio-Visual Aids
In a large group it is important that communication must be aided effectively to ensure that the message reaches out clearly to every individual present in the group. Whiteboards are a common aid for discussions in large groups. Electronic presentations can also be used to help in easier communication. This is particularly important when the issues under discussion are complicated or technical in nature.

WestJet is having a sale which must be booked by July 10 for travel through Oct. 31. Click on their site, choose your language, and then on "Sizzling summer sale" for further details. While hardly cheap, these fares are lower than normal.
Montreal to Vancouver is set at $518 CDN plus tax for example. Interestingly, when we searched for the lowest fare on this route via travelocity.ca, we got a fare of $571 CDN before taxes, so it appears WestJet is selling seats on its own site for less than on third-party sites, which, of course, is a growing trend in the industry.

IncomeClub's Smart Beta Bond Selection
The term Smart Beta refers to investment strategies that utilize alternative index construction rules to the normal market capitalization-based indices. The emphasis is on capturing "investment factors or market inefficiencies in a rules-based and transparent way".
Why Is the Smart Beta Approach a Good Idea?
One of the problems that investors have always had is that it was difficult to get the yield premium available from corporate bonds while still getting them at a low cost.
Most investors would try to track the market capitalization-weighted index via bond funds.
Yet, even though this was the common method, it did not actually do anything to minimize the amount of risk the investors were facing.
It often shows that you should invest in companies that are indebted, and this does not always translate to a quality reward for those who invest.
What Does the IncomeClub Smart Beta Do?
Instead of using the traditional method of finding bonds for investments, the Smart Beta from IncomeClub chooses the bonds based on fundamental measures. This helps to find bonds that will have better performance with less risk.
The goal of the Smart Beta is to help clients who are seeking an affordable solution that makes choosing the right bonds easier than ever. It's a far better solution for those who have been having issues trying to find quality investment bonds and who have been relying on the older system.
One of the biggest benefits includes that focus on increasing the yield through a smart selection of the best choices. The Smart Beta helps to find those that have lower volatility, and that are still well diversified.
In addition, there is a low turnover, which helps to formulate a buy and hold approach when it comes to investing in individual bonds. Something else that users of the Smart Beta enjoy is the fact that there is a lower cost.
The fees and the transaction costs are as low as possible, which means that the returns for the investor will be as high as possible. With so many of the other, traditional investment methods out there, this does not happen.
Investors who choose to use Smart Beta investment approach find that they are able to reduce their risk through "sector and credit rating allocation", ultimately allowing them to make much better investment decisions.
In addition, the risk is reduced through the aforementioned diversification, as well as smart maturity distribution. Though you are keeping your risks low, you will still be able to maximize your yield.
It is the best of both worlds for investors.
The Three-Step Approach for IncomeClub's Smart Beta
Let's look at the way that IncomeClub approaches the Smart Beta to see what makes it different.
Step 1:Fundamental Selection – Through the proprietary Asset Allocation Algorithm, Smart Beta looks to add value to the potential bonds via the "intelligent bottom-up issuer selection and sector diversification". It will then create a selection of individual bonds that have the best risk/rewards characteristic.
Step 2: Market Selection – Smart Beta uses a special filter that looks at two different criteria to help to narrow down the selection of the best bonds. It checks the maturity and the market availability.
Step 3: Execution – IncomeClub will have direct access to bond trading through a variety of places such as Muni Bonds Center, Bond Desk, the NYSE, and more. The Execution Algorithm then combines the buying orders from investors to a large block trade, which helps to keep the costs down.
Smart Beta investment approach is the smart move for investors who are thinking about getting into bonds. It makes the buying process easier, and more efficient than ever without all of the confusion of indexed based approaches

November 28, 2016 14:22 ET
MONTREAL, CANADA--(Marketwired - Nov. 28, 2016) - (NYSE:CAE)(TSX:CAE) - CAE announced today that it has obtained its francization certificate from the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). The announcement was made at a celebration attended by Mr. Luc Fortin, Quebec Minister of Culture and Communications and Minister responsible for the Protection and Promotion of the French Language; Mr. Robert Vézina, President-Director General of the OQLF; Mr. Marc Parent, President and CEO of CAE; representatives of senior management; union representatives and CAE employees.
"We are proud to have obtained our francization certificate, which demonstrates the commitment of CAE and its employees to French in the workplace in Quebec," said Marc Parent. "Aerospace is a sector where the working language is very often English, and obtaining our francization certificate would not have been possible without the excellent cooperation among the various groups of employees who worked together to achieve this goal."
The granting of a francization certificate attests to the fact that CAE, located in Montreal, complies with the requirements of the Quebec Charter of the French Language. The certification confirms that the French language is consistently and widely used at CAE and recognizes the best language practices implemented within the organization.
Photos of the celebration are available on cae.com/photos.
