velocity of the motor becomes very great the current becomes very small. In the limit no level surface cuts the circuit, all converging on the motor. That is, all the energy passes into the motor when it is transformed into work, and the efficiency of the arrangement is perfect, though the rate of doing work is infinitely slow.
(6.) Induced currents.
It is not so easy to form a mental picture of the movement of energy which takes place when the field is changing and induced currents are created. But we can see in a general way how these currents are accounted for. When there is a steady current in a field there is corresponding to it a definite distribution of energy. If there is a secondary circuit present, so long as the primary current is constant, there is no E.M.I. in the secondary circuit for it is all at the same potential. The energy neither moves into nor out of it, but streams round it somewhat as a current of liquid would stream round a solid obstacle. But if the primary current changes there is a redistribution of the energy in the field. While this takes place there will be a temporary E.M.I. set up in the conducting matter of the secondary circuit, energy will move through it, and some of the energy will there be transformed into heat or work, that is, a current will be induced in the secondary circuit.
(7.) The electromagnetic theory of light.
The velocity of plane waves of polarised light on the electromagnetic theory may be deduced from the consideration of the flow of energy. If the waves pass on unchanged in form with uniform velocity the energy in any part of the system due to the disturbance also passes on unchanged in amount with the same velocity. If this velocity be v, then the energy contained in unit volume of cubical form with one face in a wave front will all pass out through that face in th of a second. Let us suppose that the direction of propagation is straightforward, while the displacements are up and down; then the magnetic intensity will be right and left. If be the E.M.I. and the M.I. within the volume, supposed so small that the intensities may be taken as uniform through the cube, then the energy within it is . The rate at which energy crosses the face in the wave front is per second, while it takes th of a second for the energy in the cube to pass out.
Now, if we take a face of the cube perpendicular to the direction of displacement, and therefore containing the M.I., the fine-integral of the M.I. round this face is equal to current through the face. If we denote distance in the direction of propagation

I think Ruben Amaro Jr. feels pretty bad for botching that whole Roy Halladay thing. Maybe that's why the Philadelphia Phillies have proposed a trade with the Cleveland Indians for the next best thing: staff ace Cliff Lee.
The Indians are definitely selling at this point, so it's not like this trade is completely out of the question. But what would the Phils offer in return? Not Kyle Drabek, that's for sure. And it better be good for Cleveland to shop their best hurler.
The defending World Series champs have apparently offered the Tribe a package deal, and judging from the AAA Lehigh Valley IronPigs' lineup card for Wednesday, right-hander Carlos Carrasco, shortstop Jason Donald and catcher Lou Marson -- all scratched from today's game -- could be moved.
This information is, of course, via a source close to team negotiations, who would rather remain anonymous so he/she doesn't get canned.
With the non-waiver deadline sneaking up on us this Friday, it'll be interesting to see what goes down. Lee's response to the trade rumors?
"If everything written was true, I would have been traded about 12 times by now."We'll see about that, Clifford.
Update: According to pretty much the entire internet, Lee has been traded along with left fielder Ben Francisco to Philadelphia for the above-mentioned minor leaguers. The kicker was throwing 6'5", 18-year-old Class-A righty Jason Knapp into the mix. He's pretty awesome, I guess.
I'm gonna go ahead and high-five the Tribe for getting this deal done. You guys ditched an aging, though still great, pitcher (sorry Cleveland fans, I know it stings at first) but came out on top. And it'll show in the long run -- the very, very long run.
P.S. , but this time with a hatred-fueled spin by the ladies from Playing the Field.

All You Need To Know About Employment Law
Less than one century ago, employers were able to treat their employees in any manner they deemed fit. In the early 1900s, there was not concern for issues of discrimination or wrongful actions and in the majority of cases workers would work long hours experiencing abusive treatment. The working environment was typically filthy making it an unhealthy area in which to operate, but as there were no employment regulations no-one could do or say anything. Fortunately, times have changed and employees are provided with more statutory rights.
In the 21st century, it is illegal for employers to treat their employees in any manner they see fit. The employees have laws to protect themselves from abusive treatment and it is illegal to place an employee in an unhealthy work environment. It was never in anyone's mind that law and order would influence employment to such an extent, but history has taught people how to interact so that all individuals are treated correctly; however, this is not the case in many third world countries.
To ensure that employees are treated correctly, it is essential that employers adhere to employment law. Contrary to belief, employment law is not a single law but a complete system that was set up to protect employees and ensure they are respected by their employers. This includes the development of different benefits systems, such as health care insurance for the employees and their families. It also ensures that the employees do not experience any cases of discrimination in terms of religion, gender, race, disability or sexual orientation.
In each employment law system, there are typically two types of employment law to cover two types of employee protection. The first type of law refers to collective labor laws and this is usually noted between the employers and the employee unions. Collective labor laws will often deal with issues such as union strikes, picketing, and workplace involvement of the unions. The second type of employment law refers to individual labor law. Individual labor law deals with issues such as hours of work, minimum wage, workplace safety, and dismissal of employees.
As years progressed, employment law became a highly significant aspect of the US judiciary system as it assists in protecting the most basic human rights in a place of employment. While there are various other essential topics that the labor law will cover, protection is the most important. The labor law, in broad definition, refers to the rights and obligations of the employee and the employer which are voiced in a contract between the parties. However, this law should not be considered the sole advantage of the employee because, in reality, many will claim that the current employment law offers employers too much authority. For example, current law will offer employers authority to dismiss an employee for any reasons as long as it is not overstepping legislation.
Of course, there are various positive aspects to labor law, such as the standards of the workplace being higher ensuring that the employees are operating in a healthy and safe environment. Furthermore, employers cannot take advantage of their employees in any way. If that happens, quickly reach out to unfair dismissal lawyers Brisbane specialist. Employment law ensures that employees are no longer treated like animals and, as time passes, these laws will increase in their contribution to employee protection. This is beneficial for employee, employer, and the overall growth of the US economy.

When Rona Borre started Instant Alliance in 2001, she knew exactly what she was doing. Success does not come about by accident, or everyone would suddenly become prosperous by accident. Borre realized that to succeed in the competitive staffing market she would have to offer something unique.
She simply continued doing what she had done previously in her high-paying job with another global staffing company. While competitors are wasting their time combing through hundreds of resumes Borre would spend time with the executives of her client companies and learn exactly what they wanted and needed, and then go after those particular individuals.
This procedure has worked so well that her firm has become one of the fastest-growing staffing firms in the country and Instant Alliance bills out millions of dollars to clients on an annual basis. When she has the right answers to the right questions, she can find the people her clients need. Borre also specializes in areas that are always in demand such as technological and financial professionals. Good articles here on techweekchicago2014.sched.com.
Borre's technique works well as evidenced by the stunning results that she has been able to achieve. Borre is also very active in Chicago business affairs, and she acts in leadership positions with such organizations as the Economic Club of Chicago, the Young Presidents' Organization, and the Chicago Network.

RUSSELL SIMMONS STEPS DOWN FROM COMPANIES AMID SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONSNovember 30, 2017
Russell Simmons has announced he will step down from his various businesses after a second woman has come forward with a detailed account of alleged sexual assault.
Screenwriter Jenny Lumet (Rachel Getting Married, The Mummy) – who is the daughter of late director Sidney Lumet and the granddaughter of singer Lena Horne – claims Simmons raped her in 1991 when she was 24.
Back in the early '90s, Lumet and Simmons traveled in similar social circles, but had never spent any time alone when the music mogul offered her a ride home from a NYC restaurant.
"I gave the driver my address on 19th Street and 2nd Avenue. You said to the driver: 'No.'" Lumet wrote in The Hollywood Reporter. "Then, the car doors locked. I couldn't open the doors. I couldn't open the windows. The car was moving. The driver did not stop. He did not take me to 19th Street. He took me to your apartment."
Lumet recalls feeling scared and dread as Simmons and his driver surrounded her as they made their way into the back entrance of the Def Jam founder's home.
Lumet revealed "there was penetration" and reiterated that "at no time that night did I say: 'Russell, I will go home with you.' Or, 'Come home with me.' Or 'I will have sex with you.' Or 'I have the desire to have sex with you.'"
In response to Lumet's account, Simmons released a statement.
"While her memory of that evening is very different from mine, it is now clear to me that her feelings of fear and intimidation are real. While I have never been violent, I have been thoughtless and insensitive in some of my relationships over many decades, and I sincerely apologize."
He continued: "This is a time of great transition. The voices of the voiceless, those who have been hurt or shamed, deserve and need to be heard. As the corridors of power inevitably make way for a new generation, I don't want to be a distraction, so I am removing myself from the businesses that I founded. The companies will now be run by a new and diverse generation of extraordinary executives who are moving the culture and consciousness forward. I will convert the studio for yogic science into a not-for-profit center of learning and healing. As for me, I will step aside and commit myself to continuing my personal growth, spiritual learning and above all to listening."
Earlier this month, model Keri Claussen Khalighi accused Simmons of sexually assaulting her in an LA Times story. Simmons denied her allegations.

Taste nice and easy to eat on the good Goes Well With:Anything
Nice and light, Nice crisp to it and not smothered in chocolate but enough to make you want more, deffo repurchase in order :) Goes Well With:Any snack diet
I was really craving a snack (I have a really bad sweet tooth) so I grabbed this yo snack on. It was so light and nice to dig into. There isn't that gritty protein taste that you would think you'd get in protein snacks and it's great if you really fancy a sweet snack.
These clusters are great! they taste exactly like the ones you would make yourself at home. rice crispy / cornflakes and chocolate. not sure if i will buy them again though as theres plenty of other snacks on here that have more protein in. don't really see the point of buying over priced rice crispy squares.Goes Well With:on its own
These clusters were a lovely post dinner treat when I was craving something sugary. Really surprised by how good they tasted! Will be ordering a full box to see my through the festive period so I can still be "naughty" without ruining my hard work!

MOUNTAIN VIEW — Unless you were hiding under a rock for most of the day yesterday, you're aware by now that Google held a press event at which the search giant pulled back the curtain on ChromeOS, the OS that's really a browser (and is based on the browser that's really an OS). The search giant announced that it's open-sourcing the OS, and described in detail much of its nature and function.
In this article, we'll recap only a few of the highlights of the announcement, because the news has been covered exhaustively elsewhere. Our main focus here is to provide some analysis and context, and to think about what ChromeOS means.

There's always something to be said for going against the grain. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you weren't playing it safe. There's very little playing it safe going on with the Fenty label's latest release for Puma, the Leadcat.
Minimalism and functionality are very in right now, obviously. The slide sandal is minimal and functional to its core. What better way is there to introduce a dash of purely stylistic flair to this scene than to twist this icon of simplicity?
The natural counterpoint to pure functionality is luxury. The roots of the word luxury can be found in Latin and Middle English words for 'extravagant.' Although we usually think of this extravagance purely in terms of money, the very act of adding something more than strictly necessary is extravagant. To that end, the Leadcat features impractical, purely stylistic, faux-fur and satin on the sandal's upper strap.
Besides, if you want to get really philosophical about it, there's arguably no better use for functionality than finding a way to be comfortable and fashionable at the same time.
If a size is not listed, it is sold out.

I don't drive. Not only do I not drive, I don't actually have a driving license. My last driving lesson (14 years ago) ended in my driving instructor actually telling me she did not want to teach me anymore (2nd crash – in my defence it wasn't serious – I only drove into the back of a stationary police car – noone was hurt!).
So it's probably no surprise that I have no interest in cars. Yesterday, I visited a woman who has an anxiety disorder. I go as regularly as I can and just keep an eye on how she is managing and in general it is one of those fairly low-key visits.
She has a car, and her car was broken. I offered to phone the RAC for her as she has a distrust and dislike of the telephone. I feel faintly embarrassed by the conversation I had – but I think the RAC man had a good old laugh.
Image via Wikipedia
OK, perhaps when I was asked what type of car it was, answering 'Green' might not have been the wisest answer – but I don't know what car is what! I also tried 'Green and smallish, I think it's quite old'. At that point, I could hear him sniggering. Of course, when he asked what was wrong with it, we entered an almost surreal level of conversation – as I wasn't actually sure.
'It won't start' I said.
'Yes' said the still-giggling RAC man 'I understand that, but why?'
'Because it doesn't go – I don't know'
I'm sure he was calling his mates over or had me on speaker phone in his call centre place!
'Can you be a bit more specific, miss' Grrrr. I wish I knew about cars. I really hate conforming to gender stereotypes and I find 'miss' faintly patronising but I felt I wasn't in a position to complain for want of causing more hilarity.
'Not really, because I don't know'.
Anyway, in the end, he agreed to come. I'll pop in today to check the car was actually fixed.
If he'd asked me about ancient Greek philosophy or discourse theory, I'd have had a really good response to him – but cars.. not my forte.
Another visit yesterday with an almost comical slant. I was visiting a man with fairly advanced dementia and substantial physical health problems and his wife. There were three generations living in the same two bedroom flat, so there were a couple of children running in the corridor.
As I walked to the lounge, one of the kids shouted at me to 'Watch out'. I looked down – and I had almost stood on a tiny kitten.
Luckily I managed to sidestep out of the way, but this kitten was minute. I was told by the wife that it had been given to one of the children by someone in a park but it was much too small to have been away from its mother – still it was quite a sprightly thing. It was fascinated by my feet, which it constantly tried to nibble and was trying to climb into my bag (which I did close) throughout.
I had to be really careful when I left the house with a small kitten that would have fit easily into the palm of my hand scurrying around my feet. I had the constant 'Must not tread on cat' mantra running through my head. And that's a thought I don't often consider.

the other thing i love about snow? wearing real winter clothes and layering. i give myself "snow days" when it's like this and love going outside and soaking up all the winter wonderfulness. the past few days have been like living inside of a snow globe, which is awesome.
LAmade came to the rescue with their long sleeve crew neck thermal. don't be alarmed by the word thermal here, it's probably not what you're thinking. are you thinking of long underwear that you'd wear when you're skiing. no? oh, then this is awkward.
this is the softest and warmest long sleeve in my closet. it's thin enough that i don't overheat instantly, but the material makes it so that it traps my body heat and keeps me warm when i'm outside. it fits like a glove (and true to size!) and is the perfect long sleeve for layering. needless to say, all of my dreams came true when i slid that long sleeve on. it's love, people.
outfit details:
long sleeve tee: c/o LAmade
poncho: Old Navy
jeans: Hot Mama
hat: J.Crew Factory
earrings: J.Crew (similar)
boots: Target
purse: Fossil

If you get pulled over by the police, or even just drive into a DUI check point, you'll have to dig through your glove box looking for your proof of insurance. Some people run into the problem of finding it, but it is expired.
So beginning Jan. 1, 2013 a new law is allowing drivers to store and show their proof of insurance on their smartphone.
"What a wonderful thing if you have your [proof of] insurance with you all the time. Maybe then we can have our driver's license on there, you know?" said Mike Dobson, an iPhone user.
No license yet, but here is how the smartphone proof of insurance works for State Farm customers: you can download an app, click on it, then click "auto," view insurance card, and up pops the proof of insurance, the current proof of insurance.
"The easiest convenience, I think, is you always forget to put your new insurance card in your glove box, so this way it is always updated and ready to go," said David Chacon, a State Farm Insurance agent.
Now you will still have to go looking for your registration and license, at least for now.
State Farm isn't the only insurance company with an app like this. Most of the bigger firms have them or will soon. Companies like it because now you have one more reason to have their app on your phone and can provide constant advertisement reinforcement.

Previously in my laptop buying guide, I suggested HP as a good manufacturer to consider for bang-for-the-buck. Case in point, this HP dv5t laptop with 15.4″ screen.
Starting at $579 (list price) it offers plenty of features, many not even found on higher end models, at a reasonable, almost too-good-to-be-true, price. Even better, with the holiday discounting going on now, it's not uncommon to find the dv5t laptop on sale for 15-30% off list.
Part of the Pavilion line up, it slots in the middle, above the Compaq Presario and below the premium HDX lineup. And although they bill it as an "entertainment" model, it is unquestionably an all-rounder capable of handling any business or productivity chore, without any over-the-top gaming aesthetics added to the case.
I was able to spend some time with a dv5t putting it through its paces. Did it deliver on the HP name? And how would it compare to other choices including Dell, Lenovo and Sony?
- HP dv5t Pavilion Laptop
- Rating
- 4 out of 5 stars
- Thumbs up
- Excellent keyboard and display. Good performance for the price. Quiet operation. Well built with attractive case design and bronze imprint.
- Thumbs down
- Spaceship lighting that can't be dimmed or turned off. Average battery life. Highly reflective screen. Uneven balance when used on lap.
- Mike says:
- "Worthy of the HP name. A home run. Some minor quibbles, but so much to like I highly recommend it."
- Price
- Starting from $579. As tested $1,023 list.
- Category
- Gadgets and Tech
The test set-up
My review model arrived via drop ship direct from China in a non-descript, compact brown box with simple HP logo. It was easy to un-pack. Although the contents were encased with simple sleeves and cushions it seemed less protected than I expected for a journey around the world. Still everything was in pristine condition.
I followed a simple start-up guide, inserted the battery. Then I opened the lid and pushed the power button and it came to life. I like it when gadgets come charged and ready to use.
My test configuration shipped from the HP Home & Home Office store was well configured:
- HP dv5t Pavilion Series Laptop
- Bronze style finish and imprint
- 15.4″ WSXGA+ BrightView Infinity 1680×1050 Display
- Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 (2.0GHz)
- 4GB DDR2 System Memory
- 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
- 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS
- Webcam
- LightScribe SuperMulti 8x DVD+/-RW
- Intel NextGen Wireless N Minicard with Bluetooth
- High Capacity 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
- Genuine Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Nice features indeed, especially the upgraded display which bumps resolution up to 1680×1050, great for viewing multiple applications and windows at the same time. I chose a modest processor, however, to keep price down. You can upgrade it to something like the P8400 which is a popular choice for more horsepower, however it adds $150 to the price.
Regarding the finish, I chose Bronze. The standard Chrome finish it just too bright for my tastes, and captures light reflections all over the place.
Before taxes, this configuration lists for $1,023.99. However, you can find it on sale often for 15-20% typically, and by the time you read this, I expect even bigger holiday and post-holiday promotions.
First impressions
The dv5t felt solid out-of-the-box. Everything is well engineered with good build quality. The edges of the case are nicely rounded, as is the perimeter of the keyboard. The weight felt ok, not too bad considering it's a 15″ model, but certainly not as portable of course as my 14″ ThinkPad.
The bronze finish is nicer than I expected adding a nice design touch to the case. A small imprint repeats across the lid and inside without distracting. The keyboard is color matched.
The lid requires two hands to flip open and the hinge is solid with nary a squeak. The infinity display option, I suppose like an infinity pool, runs from edge-to-edge, and looks fantastic. Although I can see myself starting back in the highly reflective screen. More on that later.

Recently, WordPress.com, which is the fully hosted version of WordPress, got its most significant update in recent memory. Automattic, the web-development business known for WordPress.com and its contributions to WordPress, rewrote WordPress entirely under the secret code name Calypso. This means that everything has been overhauled in the CMS.
In a blog post on the developer section of WordPress.com, the company announced the new changes as part of a project it's been working on for almost two years. According to project lead, Andy Peatling, the team behind the update reimagined the tech and the development workflows that served as the basis for creating with WordPress.
The biggest change by far has to be that there's a complete distinction now between WordPress.com and the WordPress core. The former is an administration interface interacting with the latter, much in the same way any other third-party app and interface would. WordPress.com relies on a REST API to get your posts, publish any new ones, upload images, and everything else.
A single-page app, it ensures that you only see very few loading screens as you interact with its interface. As a result, it will work in harmony with both your phone and tablet, thanks to responsive design as part of the package.
If you're utilizing the backend of the CMS, you'll still be able to directly access the backend. The big difference is that you're greeted with a new option when on WordPress.com and using a WordPress VIP site, a self-hosted WordPress featuring a JetPack plugin, or simply a hosted WordPress.com blog.
Of course, everything is open source and available on Github right now. Designers and developers are empowered to look at the code, fork it and then reuse it—with a catch: you have to observe the GNU General Public License version 2.
That's not all, though—remember, this is a complete overhaul.
There's a new Mac app for access to WordPress.com. Users familiar with popular apps like Slack should have no problem making the transition, as the Mac app takes advantage of web tech as well as desktop features to provide people with mainly the same user experience as on the WordPress.com site. Linux and Windows apps are coming later.
The decision by Automattic to overhaul WordPress can be traced back to competition, particularly from blog-publishing sites and apps like Medium, that have been getting more popular in the last few years.

Re: MMIC for LEO preamp? (RFI-EMI-GUY) Hi Stan, W1LE Your message is very interesting and I found that the following pages about the same matter are also very interesting http://urgentcomm.com/mag/radio_versatile_sinad_meter/ http://www.repeater-builder.com/tech-info/receiversensitivity.html I don't own a SINAD meter but only an Automatic Noise Figure Meter that allow me to adjust a preamplifier or downconverter for the lovest NF reading it in dB Since you have both instruments I would love that you perform the following measurement: 1) Get a low noise preamplifier and adjust it for the lovest NF using your HP-8970B and take note of it's value in dB 2) Put now the same preamplifier in front of a FM receiver and using your SINAD meter check if to get the maximum SINAD reading it is necessary or not to retune the preamplifier. 3) If retunig the preamplifier is necessary then reconnect the preamplifier to the HP-8970B and read the new value of NF For the moment forget the problem to derive the value of the overall NF of your receiving system from the SINAD measurement.

UK public sector government debt
The court delivers its verdict.
Reform is now vital.
Regulatory failure and irresponsible lending have created a debt crisis.
What kind of society do we want?
Say no to small-minded nationalism.
We need a programme for reform and opening up new opportunities in Europe, not a narrow policy of withdrawing and shutting ourselves off from others.
If we believe in liberty, it cannot be liberty only for the few.
The present choice for the voter is a poor one.
Myths and challenges
Our country is in crisis and our politicians are not up to the job
Economists failed to predict a recession that was all too predictable
People have used and abused the notion of the Laffer curve for years. But in the UK right now we are overtaxed - and tax cuts could be a route to growth.
The expenses scandal has descended into farce but legitimate concerns have been overtaken by media hype and a mob mentality.
We are in a crisis that requires bold moves and tough action

Growing Family Birth Center, LLC takes care to provide high quality and personalized services.
Our Services Include:
Free Pregnancy Tests, Comprehensive Maternity Care, Birth Center or Home Birth, Water Birth, Newborn Screenings and Well Woman Care for Our Postpartum Mothers
Birth Center
Growing Family Birth Center was created for women and their families to receive care in an environment that is safe and comfortable. Your prenatal appointments are held in the birthing suites so you become familiar and comfortable with the surroundings when it is your time to give birth. There is space for your family and friends if you choose to have guests to support you through labor or to visit your new family after your birth. We have no limit on guests as long as we can still have room to do our job, but we ask that anyone who is ill refrain from visiting and sharing their germs.
Home Birth
A home birth is also a safe and comfortable option for women. When a woman is relaxed, her labor and birth is usually quicker and easier. The discomfort in labor can be heightened when the environment is stressful or uncomfortable. The midwife and birthing team come to you, and bring you all the necessary equipment for your birth. Often, at a home birth, you may find the Midwife in the corner knitting or reading. She will only disrupt you when vitals need to be taken or when labor is picking up and you need support.
Water Birth
Water birth is another popular option we provide for women. We have 2 private birthing suites for laboring mothers with extra large, beautiful tubs. The birthing team keeps at a distance and only disrupts for appropriate vital checks and listening to baby or if you choose to have more support. We also have birthing tubs available for rent if you would like a water birth at home.
Well Women Care
At Growing Family Birth Center we also offer Well Woman Care (Pap Smears, Breast Exams, Labs) for our postpartum mamas.
Newborn Hearing Screen Tests
We are pleased to be a hearing screening location through the state. Our goal is to help make sure that babies born in out-of-hospital settings get their hearing screened in a comfortable environment and an affordable cost. We are available to serve families who have given birth in an out-of-hospital setting in Linn, Benton, and surrounding counties. Hearing screening can also be done for older children and adults.
There is a nominal fee of $15 for the screening, however no one is turned away for the inability to pay.
We carry Vitamins, Tinctures, Herbs, and more!
Don't have time to stop by?

Section 54: Division of mineral resources
Section 54. The division of mineral resources shall be within the department of environmental protection in this section and in section fifty-five called the department and shall be under the administrative supervision of a director who shall administer the laws, rules and regulations relating to the mineral resources of the commonwealth. The term ''mineral resources'', as used in this section and in sections fifty-two and fifty-three, shall mean oil, gas, fossil fuels, sulphur, metals, ores, minerals, rock, soil, sand and gravel, or in coastal waters, as defined in section one of chapter one hundred and thirty, or lands thereunder. Said director may appoint such employees, experts and consultants as he deems necessary to carry out his duties. He shall, with the approval of the department, (a) license orderly exploration for mineral resources; (b) lease exclusive rights for extraction of such mineral resources as have been discovered; (c) establish charges and fees for such licenses and leases which will permit a fair profit for the licensee and lessee; and (d) adopt, after a public hearing, such rules and regulations relating to such exploration and extraction of mineral resources, and the transportation thereof in or over the coastal waters of the commonwealth, as will insure the proper utilization of such resources consistent with the harvesting and propagation of other valuable natural resources and the general safety, welfare and convenience of the commonwealth. No license to explore in the coastal waters shall be issued, no lease for extraction of mineral resources shall be granted, no charge or fee for such license or lease shall be established, no rule or regulation relating to such exploration or extraction shall be adopted, amended or rescinded unless and until said director shall first, and in each instance, hold a public hearing, notice of which, including a statement of intent, shall be sent, at least thirty days prior to said public hearing, to each city and town bordering on the coastal waters of the commonwealth. Such rules and regulations may provide for reasonable exemptions from the requirements of section fifty-three relative to leases for the extraction of mineral resources.
Sub-surface exploration for the purposes of design of, and the removal of material necessary for, beach replenishment, navigational improvement projects and piers, and bridges, culverts and other similar structures, approved by the department of highways and the department shall be exempt from the provisions of this section. Explorations for or extraction of minerals necessary for other public purposes may be exempted by the director from the provisions of this section requiring payment of a fee and posting of an indemnity and performance bond.
No lease shall be issued for the extraction of any mineral resource until such time as the department has obtained reliable information as to the quantities, quality and location of the resource available within the commonwealth, and as to the extent of and risk of harm to marine and other natural resources, which information shall be made public prior to the public hearing on any lease for the extraction of said resource.
The licensee or lessee shall not carry out any authorized operation in such a manner as to interfere unreasonably with navigation or fishing, or with the conservation of natural resources.
The licensee or lessee shall permit any official of the commonwealth thereunto authorized by the director to observe operations from time to time, and shall make available to said official any and all records in regard to depths being dredged or drilled, quantities being removed and type of materials found during extraction operations.
The licensee or lessee shall at all times keep the commonwealth effectually indemnified against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, claims and demands whatsoever which may be made or brought against the commonwealth or its agents by any third party in relation to or in connection with this license or lease on any matter or thing done or purported to be done in pursuance thereof by posting a bond satisfactory to the director.
No licensee or lessee shall proceed to remove any minerals from the seabed and subsoil of the commonwealth until a bond has been posted with the department guaranteeing faithful performance of the contract with the commonwealth, faithful observance of any applicable rules, regulations and statutes, and timely payment as provided in said contract for any materials removed.
The director shall reserve the right to revoke or suspend, with the approval of the department, any license or lease issued hereunder, thereby terminating all rights granted thereunder, upon any breach or non-observance by the licensee of any of the terms and conditions of the license or lease, or upon any attempt to assign the rights of the licensee to any third party, for any reason, or any evidence of insolvency or other inability to perform the contract.

Recount the day you took the driver's test (whether you successfully got your license or not). If you've never taken the test, write how you imagine it'll go.
One thought on "Driver's Test"
I don't remember much of high school, but I can remember my time in driver's education. I use that name loosely.
It wasn't the first time I had this teacher. Mr.B was his name, and I had him in 6th grade as my technology teacher. Technology was a fancy name for wood shop with computer assistance. He taught us all how to use programs like Auto Cad to design floor plans, key racks, and hat stands. There was an eighth grader who was building a boat. He was like a god. Mr. B wasn't much for rules, we would steal his coffee(which he drank all hours of the day) and drink it, because it was spiked with what we assumed was vodka. Mr. B never really payed much attention to the saws in the actual shop, so a bunch of 13 year old kids with power tools was a common thing in my middle school.
So, now that there is some back story, I'll talk about my time in driver's ed with Mr. B.
I had been driving around town, picking up groceries, and occasionally my mother from a late night at the bar. This was not my first time driving. The other students had little to no practice.
I drove most of the time. We would go to some fast food restaurant, or a convenience store, and we would waste some time in the parking lot playing hacky sack. Mr. B would get some coffee, or a soda, and poor it in to his huge mug. None of the other students knew about Mr. B's past, and I understand the volatile implications of being indiscreet, so I kept my mouth shut. The kids in the back seat would normally text, and Mr. B would tell stories about Vietnam, or his time in college and all the girls. This group was all boys.
So, it came time for the actual driving test, and I was pretty nervous. We hadn't really practiced any driving maneuvers, like parallel parking, or three point turns, or quick stops, you know, all the things on the driving exam.. So we get in to the car, and he tells me to get the car up to 30 miles an hour and keep it there, and then he tells me to break hard, so I do, and that's my quick stop out of the way. I should mention that this is the first time Mr. B brought a clip board into the car, it made everything feel so much more official. After the quick stop, he told me to turn down this narrow side street. We were driving a Dodge Neon and he told me to preform a three point turn, and so I did. and he said it was good. Then, being the person I am, sowing the seeds of my own destruction, i asked "what about parallel parking?" and he said "you don't have to do that any more" and then I went to the DMV and I got my license. Pretty painless.↓

Except for creating the situation that made them viable and worth doing.The goverment can't see into the future. How is the government supposed to know what companies are doing behind the scenes? What schemes they're concocting? Credit default options is one of those schemes.Sorry...but in this case, Wall Street abused the free enterprise system. Now government is responding with a vengeance and making Wall Street miserable with the Dodd-Frank Act--2,900 pages of gobbledegook that's being rolled out piece by piece, all of it oppressive and inflexible.Paybacks are hell, oh crooks of Wall Street.

The whole truthHSG Friday 11am.
I need you to be completely honest with me. How painful was your HSG? I was volunteered no information when I called to book, just given a time and place. When pressed, I was told to take 2 painkillers a couple of hours beforehand. Is that it? Is there any other preparation I should do? Will I be able to drive home? Return to work? TTC?
Thank you.

Paul Richards investigates who will be Jeremy Corbyn's successor as the hard-left's anointed leadership candidate
One thing you can guarantee, like rain on a bank holiday, is splits on the hard-left. The old Monty Python joke is funny because it is true. For the all the calls for workers' unity, disunity is the stock-in-trade. The Trotskyist parties are all fragments of one another. The vanity parties such as Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour party, George Galloway's Respect or Ken Loach's Left Unity are all the products of splits, which have themselves split.
The hard-left within the Labour party is equally riven. So it is no surprise that the coalition of forces and individuals which supported Jeremy Corbyn in 2015 is now rapidly disintegrating. Some say it is because of his poor performance following the heightened expectations of that heady summer. You might think the widening schisms amongst Corbynites are linked to his dismal personal ratings as the most unpopular leader ever, net loss of council seats, inability to appoint a functioning frontbench or the growing Tory lead in the opinion polls.
But they are not. Splits, schisms and sects, swirling in a morass of accusation, suspicion and mutual loathing. This is just another day at the office for the hard-left's leading lights. So as the court of Corbyn senses his reign is drawing to an inglorious close, who wants to wear the crown?
Richard Burgon
Remember those posh kids who discover socialism and sell papers outside Tesco? Think Rik Mayall as Rick in the Young Ones. Richard Burgon is that kid. Educated in the leafy suburbs of Harrogate, followed by St John's College Cambridge, where he studied English Literature, he went on to become a solicitor. Burgon adopted a leftwing persona as a teen, and has never grown out of it.
In his diary on 15 July 1999, Tony Benn recorded: 'On the terrace, I had a chat to Richard Burgon who is the nephew of Colin Burgon the [member of parliament] for Elmet just outside Leeds. He was a young lad of about 16 or so, a good socialist, had written a thesis on "Tony Benn's influence on the Labour party" and had on a T-shirt which said "socialism is the flame of anger and the flame of hope". He had had it specially made.' His Bennite credentials are strengthened by a longstanding Euroscepticism – to the point where colleagues believe he wanted to campaign for 'Leave' last year, but kept his head low.
Once elected in 2015 (following a helpful phonecall from uncle Colin to Ed Miliband ahead of the selection process, denying Leeds a second all-women shortlist), the T-shirt wearing, placard waving student protestor has become a T-shirt wearing, placard waving MP. Feel the Burgon.
Angela Rayner
Angela Rayner is an extremely rare type of Corbynista. For while most are posh, university-educated and read the Guardian, Rayner is the diametric opposite. Born on a Stockport council estate, she left school at 16 and was a teenage mother. She is the first shadow education secretary to have left school without any qualifications.
Like many of the pioneer Labour MPs after 1900, Rayner was offered a ladder by the trade union movement. Her real education came not in the school room, but in the union branch. She lives and breathes trade unionism as a Unison senior steward and not, like most Corbynite MPs, in the research department or as solicitors.
As a northern working-class trade unionist, she has managed to land blows on the Tories who are not quite sure how to react. She was promoted twice in a week, ending up in her current role. At her first outing Rayner wrong-footed the Tories over grammar schools by quoting their own words back at them.
Rayner was a direct beneficiary of the Tony Blair-led Labour government, especially sure start, and understands more than most why we need a Labour government. Her thirst for power is political not personal. Oh, and she likes Star Wars.
Rebecca Long-Bailey
Rebecca Long-Bailey was a solicitor from Cheshire. She came third in the Labour selection in her home constituency of Weaver Vale. But then, with a little help from Unite, she won the Salford and Eccles nomination and was elected in 2015. She enthusiastically signed Corbyn's nomination papers and has prospered under his leadership, earning herself a place as one of the leader's disciples on the National Executive Committee.
Her frontbench career was unimpaired by a series of uncertain early performances on television, notably being duffed up by Andrew Neil over Brexit. She learned economics on the job, as shadow chief secretary to the treasury, with the same diligence that earned her her sociology degree from Manchester Polytechnic. Now she is shadow business secretary, replacing the MP for Norwich South.
In September last year, she wrote in the Guardian 'I have watched Labour's leader inspire a new mass movement and force the Tories into retreat.' She is right. Corbyn has inspired a new mass movement of Tory voters, and the Tories have retreated into the safety of assured victory at the next election.
'Becky' is a protégée of John McDonnell. He tweeted on 3 February 2017: 'Rebecca Long-Bailey was brilliant on BBC Question Time with convincing common sense answers. Next generation of our socialist leadership team emerging.' Has ever a coded endorsement been less coded? It is hardly the Enigma is it?
Clive Lewis
We know Clive Lewis has no interest whatsoever in becoming leader of the Labour party because of all the national media interviews he has given. We know that his friend Owen Jones is definitely not his campaign manager, nor has he phoned any MPs. We know 'Clive for leader' websites have been registered, but we do not know who registered them, or why.
But let us pretend for a minute that Lewis is plotting a bid. He has a rich back story. Not rich as in wealthy, like Corbyn, but rich as in fascinating. He grew up on a council estate as the son of a single father. As a student unionist he stood against the Labour candidate for National Union of Students president in 1996. He joined the BBC as a reporter, and the territorial army as a second-lieutenant in the 7th Rifles. In the summer of 2009, he served for three months in Afghanistan. In 2011, he made a brave film for BBC Inside East about his mental illness following his tour, highlighting the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder on returning soldiers.
By resigning over article 50, Lewis identified the perfect faultline between the old Bennite anti-Europe brigade, and the younger pro-Europeans. His support for proportional representation and the 'progressive alliance' might swing a few of the soft-left in his direction, should the unthinkable happen and he run for leader.
John McDonnell wants to be leader of the Labour party. He stood in 2007, when Blair stood down. Labour had 355 MPs, so McDonnell needed 45 nominations to get on the ballot. He failed. In 2010, he needed only 35 nominations from a much-reduced parliamentary Labour party, but secured less than half that. This time round, McDonnell knows that to get enough nominations, he needs to reduce the number needed, hence the 'McDonnell amendment'. This would mean a Labour leader does not need the support of more than a tiny handful of Labour MPs, which does not spell trouble at all.
Even in a roomful of Corbynistas, McDonnell is the most leftwing person in the room. He was sacked by Ken Livingstone as deputy of the Greater London Council in 1985 for wanting London to copy the glorious resistance of Militant-led Liverpool; even Livingstone thought it a bit extreme. In 2003 he praised the 'bravery' of the IRA. He then apologised 'if he had caused offence'. If.
In the next contest, McDonnell could be either king or kingmaker. He stands to the left of Corbyn, Livingstone, Benn and Hugo Chavez. His heroes are Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. The question now is whether his avuncular charm, endearing persona and years building loyal friendships among Labour MPs will outweigh his toxic extremism. Should he decide that his time has passed, McDonnell's blessing to the next hard-left candidate will carry considerable weight. Anyone going against his wishes does so at their own risk.

Enterprise, Ala., March 1, 2007 -- School and city officials are pleading for residents and the curious to stay off of Enterprise streets and asking for people to pray for the residents of the town in the aftermath of a deadly tornado which struck the city around 12:45 p.m. on Thursday. A dusk to dawn curfew has been imposed.
The assistant superintendent for Enterprise City Schools, Bob Ferris, spoke emotionally and from his heart. His first words at an evening news conference. "The first think I'd like to say is we need your prayers."
"Please stay away from debris ridden areas, particularly Enterprise High School," Mayor Kenneth Boswell pleaded. "We need roads clear so that personnel can maneuver safely."
Students who survived the whirlwind which engulfed Enterprise High School spoke of seeing students hurt as the roof caved in an area known as third hall at the school. An earlier witness to the tornado, Hunter Scott, told WSFA he thought the tornado was at least "800 yards wide."
Dothan resident Barry Mott was driving down the road in Enterprise when the tornado crossed the road in front of them (later they checked the distance at a little less than half a mile.) "We had to stop in the road, do a U-turn and run for our lives," says Mott.
Coach Nathan McDaniel from Daleville H.S. went to the school to try to help and described a scene where cars were turned over and "roofs are off... It's truly devastating, if you haven't seen (anything like this) pray you don't."
Enterprise High School basically does not exist any more. The storm made a huge, devastating impact on the city of Enterprise. People walked around with stunned, glazed over expressions on their faces.
One student, named Caleb, was in the science wing when the tornado came through and the roof caved in. He says the bricks came in and injured people. "You see stuff like this on the news all the time and you don't know what's going to happen. It's pretty bad, I don't really know how to describe it. " As to fatalities, "I've heard but I don't want to comment on that; I wouldn't doubt it. "
Another witness claims to have gone into third hall and helped remove "two dead little girls. It's very disturbing..They're not moving, they've got a full morgue over there...six.. I don't feel right, right now...It's the first time I've ever seen something like this...the school coach, he had a couple of injuries - a deep gash in his knuckles and gash on his leg...We took him to the triage they have over there they set up behind the school..."
Matt, a high school senior, was "right beside the library pretty close to the office where it actually hit first. We were sitting and they told us to get close and duck our heads. All of a sudden it started to get darker and our ears starting popping. I saw debris coming from the front office. It started getting bad. It started getting worse and worse and then it just stopped."
Matt says he was not calm. "I really didn't know what to think when it hit. You never know anything until you're put in that situation. " He says he did hear a ceiling fell on two students but he wasn't "close to them. They say the third hall did collapse, the ceiling collapsed. We never got to make it that far, so it's just what people are saying right now."
Ferris says,"We do not yet know the full extent of the student or school personnel injuries. We do know that there are some injuries. I don not have confirmation of any fatalities, but this is not beyond the realm of possibility."
Late into the night excavation crews continued to work to try and lift a wall off the collapsed ceiling to see what they could find and unfortunately they found the bodies of three students.
More requests for prayer followed. "Again we ask for you to continue to pray for our students and their parents and for our community. To my knowledge we have not had a storm this severe in several decades, if ever before."
In downtown Enterprise the streets are filled with debris, fallen utility poles, uprooted trees and twisted metal. Businesses that were once thriving are now only vacant shells.
Resident Mary Shadid says,"It's just really sad to see what we're going through. We can't find most of our family. Don't know where they're at, so you don't know how to get in touch with them. They're still pulling bodies out...so we really don't know."
The toughest part, residents say, is trying to decide what to do next.
But Congressman Terry Everett says the people of Enterprise are resiliant and "over the years have shown great courage and I can tell you it's going to be tough...they are our close friends but we know well. As bad as the situation is, they are the kind of folks that will pull the town back together."
Governor Bob Riley will tour the devastated area starting around 10 a.m. Friday morning.
For people needing shelter in the area the First Baptist Church on Main Street and the Civic Center will serve as shelters.

Social media can be one of your biggest assets in a job search today. Whether you're seeking your first job or making mid-career movements, it is always a wise plan to take the time to make sure your social media accounts are primed to help you make an outstanding first impression on potential employers.
Make sure you're connected with leaders and thought leaders in your industry. Don't forget to join and participate in groups. Provide insightful commentary in these groups and really let your knowledge in your field show. This, above all other social media interactions will help you advance your career goals as you make more and more connections in your field.
Eliminate posts about your partying days. Let your account reveal that your partying days are over and that you are now devoted to family and career. Share stories that are relevant to your industry and comment on these stories when appropriate. Let potential employers see that you are informed and on top of the latest developments in your field.
Connect with people in your industry. Stay up-to-date with the latest developments and start conversations with real leaders in the industry. Make connections and be a constructive part of the conversation.
Get rid of sexy selfies and other questionable images. Instead, opt for clean photos that reveal you as you want potential employers to see you. Look for opportunities to present yourself as part of a team and a leader in the community. These are the types of people companies want to hire. Not selfie superstars.
In all matters of social media avoid hot-button topics like religion and politics as they are incendiary and could turn employers off. Some for fear of association and others because it goes against their own ideologies.

One expected to plead guilty in pair's Hampton Fall standoffJAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
August 07. 2014 8:12PM
BRENTWOOD — One of the people involved in an eight-hour standoff with police at a Hampton Falls apartment building is expected to plead guilty to charges instead of going forward with a trial, prosecutors said.
Daren Gragg, 37, has struck a plea deal with county prosecutors to resolve a variety of charges n Rockingham County Superior Court, including burglary, receiving stolen property and falsifying physical evidence.
He was charged alongside his girlfriend, Melissa Amato, 32. The two allegedly barricaded themselves inside a neighbor's apartment in Hampton Falls on Jan. 14 when police came to their residence to question them about an investigation out of Amesbury, Mass.
Hampton Falls police called on the New Hampshire State Police SWAT Unit when Gragg and Amato allegedly refused to comply with orders to surrender. Earlier in the day, Amesbury, Mass., police attempted to pull over the couple, police said.
Prosecutors say Gragg and Amato had broken into a neighbor's apartment during the standoff. They allegedly stole numerous items, including an assortment of knifes and a laptop computer, according to court records.
Police also found Gragg in possession of a .45-caliber handgun and a dagger at the time of his arrest, according to indictments.
Gragg faces 15 charges total. He is expected to change his plea and be sentenced at a hearing on Aug. 29.
Amato faces nine charges, including burglary, falsifying physical evidence and receiving stolen property. Prosecutors said she was found in possession of bank or identification cards belonging to at least seven different people.
The couple was also indicted for burglarizing a business on Lafayette Road in Seabrook on Jan. 2. And Amato was charged with stealing $229 worth of merchandise from a Wal-Mart store in Seabrook on Dec. 30, according to court records.
Gragg and Amato are both facing Class B felonies, punishable by up to 3½ to seven years in prison and a $4,000 fine. Gragg is being held on bail at the Rockingham County jail.

LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Stronger technology stocks helped European equities to edge higher on Tuesday, although uncertainty around the outcome of the U.S. presidential election is expected to cap moves throughout the session.
At 0806 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was up 0.2 percent at 1,110.22 points. It had fallen 0.6 percent in the previous session.
``The market is in a wait-and-see mode ahead of the U.S. election. We have seen a consolidation phase of couple of weeks and the downside seems limited. These are good levels to buy,'' Philippe Gijsels, head of research at BNP Paribas Fortis Global Markets in Brussels, said.
``I would not be too hasty in buying cyclical stocks, but will keep a close eye on some technology and financial shares.''
European technology shares, up 0.9 percent, were the top sectoral gainers, with ARM Holdings rising 3.1 percent.
