Bespoke insulation solutions for industrial customers
ROCKWOOL CORE SOLUTIONS, part of the ROCKWOOL GROUP, is the right partner for industrial manufacturers who need customised insulation solutions for specific applications. The outstanding thermal, fire, acoustic and sustainable properties of ROCKWOOL stone wool make it a preferred product for industrial applications. With a variety of products, certificates and test reports, the ROCKWOOL team is able to satisfy your specific needs and support you with its expertise and experience. Our wide product range covers the following applications but is not limited to them:
ROCKWOOL CORE SOLUTIONS sandwich panels consist of two outer metal sheets (steel, aluminum, other) with ROCKWOOL stone wool sandwiched between them. Stone wool cores provide non combustibility performance and robust mechanical performance.
Stone wool sandwich panels cover many applications in steel building construction such as: external walls, roofs, ceiling panels, fire rated and acoustic sandwich panels for commercial and industrial buildings, clean rooms, food processing, cold storage facilities, prefabricated cabins, containers, leisure buildings, hospitals, schools…
Prefabricated building elements
Prefabricated industrial building elements integrating thermal insulation or fire protection or acoustic control are widespread today. They are used both in new construction and in renovation projects, for example composite building elements or multi-layered panels.
The products for building element applications require high mechanical strength because the insulation core is mechanically stressed compared to classical applications. These products must also have narrow dimensional tolerances and dust-free surfaces to ensure reliable bonding with a top layer.
An extensive range of specific products for various applications can be deployed: products with vertically oriented fibre structure, lamellas, tooled boards (or slabs) with edge or surface profiling etc.
Insulated bricks are another interesting application. Highly insulated exterior walls are a prerequisite for low energy consumption houses. Filling bricks with stone wool is one of the ways to achieve this goal. ROCKWOOL has developed a range of specialty products with a thermal conductivity ≤ 0.035 W/mK which significantly improves the insulating properties of bricks. Such monolithic wall construction can even achieve low U-values for passive houses.
Acoustic design and noise abatement
The purpose of, for example, a ventilation system is to provide a comfortable indoor environment. If the noise level of a system is perceived to be irritatingly high, the users are likely to be dissatisfied. Therefore acoustic dampers are used to reduce the sound emanating from ventilators, or from other noise sources as appropriate.
Acoustic baffles can also be used in industrial settings for noise abatement, sometimes to meet local neighbourhood regulations.
Acoustic products must fulfil specific requirements, depending on the application, which may include high sound absorption, fire resistance, strict hygiene or high dimensional stability. ROCKWOOL products satisfy all requirements and offer a variety of customised solutions for many applications: silencers, acoustic baffles, air-conditioners, sound barriers etc.
Smoke ducting systems
Chimney ducts can be installed inside or outside buildings to vent exhaust gases from fireplaces and heating equipment. The ducts require thermal and fire protection to safeguard adjacent building elements.
Stone wool products, made from volcanic rock, are highly recommended for smoke system applications due to their high melting point - above 1000°C - and their non-combustibility - A1 euro class. The certified chimney insulation is soot-fire resistant.
Condensation in the chimney, and subsequent damage, can be prevented by using adequate chimney insulation. A wide variety of products such as grooved mats, concentrically wound- or segmented pipe sections or individual pre-cuts are manufactured for this application.
Industrial heating systems
Bakery ovens, automatic dry ovens, gas turbines, industrial dryers, boilers etc. all develop high temperatures during operation. In order to reduce heat loss and save energy, and to guarantee a safe surface temperature, insulation materials with high temperature resistance are required. ROCKWOOL CORE SOLUTIONS provides a wide range of products for these applications. Our technical specialists offer you guidance on the optimal insulation solution (indicative calculation of heat loss and surface temperature) for your specific installation.
Fire barriers and safety systems
A key component of a fire protection door is the insulation, which reduces the heat transfer in case of fire. Insulation for fire protection doors made of ROCKWOOL non-combustible stone wool with a melting point above 1000 °C provides robust fire safety performance. A high level of prefabrication, integrated cooling effects, and other attributes, allow for a variety of design options.
Renewable energy systems
Solar collectors are used to capture heat from solar radiation. To minimise heat loss and thereby increase energy efficiency, they incorporate special insulation. ROCKWOOL CORE SOLUTIONS has developed dedicated insulation materials that can be used even at collector stagnation temperatures of 260 °C. System solutions for the edge insulation and special laminated solar insulation complete the product range.

if you saw the movie, and if you liked it, pretty pretty please tell people about it. put it in your journal, tell your in-real-life friends, buy sky-writing ads, give me oral sex... whatever it takes.
don't recommend it if you didn't like it.
thank you all. it gave me such a rush to see my little brother's movie fill a theatre that big. standing in the back row (not the traditional thing to do in the back row at that theatre), looking out over all those people was really something.
it gave me a quite an ego trip to think that I know so many people that I found out about the thing tuesday, started inviting people, and got over 120 yes RSVPs by friday. most of whom actually showed up.
lots of thanks to everyone who invited more people.
lots and lots of thanks to teaa and whitney who each invited a lot more people.
last night meant a lot to me and a lot to my brother - thank you.

With it becoming increasingly likely that Hillary Clinton will be able to claim a popular vote edge once the primary season is over -- insert shriek here, Obamamiacs, but the Philadelphia Inquirer article in D-G this morning explains -- you begin to understand the mad frenzy to push her out of the race before that happens. Even if you accept the numbers, which Obamaists don't, they are a symbol that might -- though probably won't -- move some super delegates.
Prize-winning historian Sean Wilentz, who's been a Hillary supporter, doesn't really expect Clinton to win, I don't think. But he has analyzed the Obama victory in light of that popular vote and, more important, Clinton's huge wins in the Ohio Valley and other working-class climates. Food for thought about the party and its nominee's future.
Under those pressures, the Barack Obama campaign and its sympathizers have begun to articulate much more clearly what they mean by their vague slogan of "change" - nothing less than usurping the historic Democratic Party, dating back to the age of Andrew Jackson, by rejecting its historic electoral core: white workers and rural dwellers in the Middle Atlantic and border states.
Without a majority of those voters, the Democrats have, since the party's inception in the 1820s, been incapable of winning the presidency. The Obama advocates declare, though, that we have entered an entirely new political era. It is not only possible but also desirable, they say, for Democrats to win by turning away from those whom "progressive" pundits and bloggers disdain variously as "Nascar man," "uneducated," "low information" whites, "rubes, fools, and hate-mongers" who live in the nation's "shitholes."
Having attempted, with the aid of a complicit news media, to brand Hillary Clinton as a racist -- by flinging charges that, as the historian Michael Lind has shown, belong "in black helicopter/grassy knoll territory," Obama's supporters now fiercely claim that Clinton's white working class following is also essentially racist. Favoring the buzzword language of the academic left, tinged by persistent, discredited New Left and black nationalist theories about working-class "white skin privilege," a vote against Obama has become, according to his fervent followers, "a vote for whiteness."
In fact, all of the evidence demonstrates that white racism has not been a principal or even secondary motivation in any of this year's Democratic primaries. Every poll shows that economics, health care, and national security are the leading issues for white working class voters - and for Latino working class voters as well. These constituencies have cast positive ballots for Hillary Clinton not because she is white, but because they regard her as better on these issues. Obama's campaign and its passionate supporters refuse to acknowledge that these voters consider him weaker -- and that Clinton's positions, different from his, as well as her experience actually attract support. Instead they impute racism to working class Democrats who, the polls also show, happen to be liberal on every leading issue. The effort to taint anyone who does not support Obama as motivated by racism has now become a major factor in alienating core Democrats from Obama's campaign.

Dear Candidate:
Our nation's founders thought that the greatest distinction between our government and those of the rest of the world was that we would have "a government of laws, and not of men". But we have since devolved into a government both "of men" and of party, where seizing power is the real goal, and the honorable paradigm of abiding strictly by the Constitution as a sincere public servant is now considered ridiculous.
The Rule of Law Restoration is dedicated to promoting the stunningly-simple idea that government ought not be allowed to operate above the law. No matter one's opinion of the Constitution or the City Charter, government must follow the law strictly until it is lawfully changed in the prescribed manner. To do otherwise is to exert tyranny.
The Rule of Law Restoration has published pledges for candidates, whereby they promise to abide strictly by the law, and to make the most of their checks and balances powers to force the rest of the government to do the same. Meanwhile, voters are encouraged to pledge never to vote for any candidate who has not taken the Candidate's Pledge. In effect, this creates a bloc of voters who insist that the national priority must be the return of the Rule of Law to our governments. It's not about party; it's about principle. It's not about "left" and "right"; it's about being able to depend on government to abide by the law---whatever may be the current state of that law.
The Rule of Law Restoration does not endorse candidates; it simply provides an Internet venue in which candidates can take a stand for the Rule of Law on the record. Be design, we are not affiliated with any party, special interest, corporate interest, labor union, or any other organization, whether religious or political. In short, we are a wholly neutral philosophical movement in all respects, except for our insistence that the nation is at risk if it does not return to lawful governance.
If you believe that the Rule of Law is a fundamental "must" for our society's well-being, and if you are willing to operate strictly within the limited powers of the office you are seeking, please take the appropriate Candidate's Pledge today and encourage all your supporters to take the Voter's Pledge. As "simple" as this idea is, it represents a major paradigm shift for our nation. Therefore, the need for real leadership has never been so great.

PS. There is no charge whatsoever for taking the Candidate's Pledge.
Dear Mr. Pelham,
The rule of law is central to my campaign philosophy as well as to the form of government which has provided us with such abundance and peace.
I invite you to read my website and count how many times I have referred to and cited the importance of this principle.

Mr. Miller:
I'm glad you support the rule of law. I hope you will consider taking the ROLR Candidate's Pledge.
Best wishes on your campaign.
Jack Pelham
Dear Mr. Pelham,
All elected officials take the rule of law pledge when they swear to support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Having seen how effectively that has influenced our incumbents, perhaps you will forgive me for not being a big believer in pledges. I urge you to read over my website and see that such a pledge would be as redundant for me as the oath of office was meaningless to the incumbent.
If you can recommend some part of your website that will contribute to the education of my readers without antagonizing them, I would consider adding a link to your site. Keep in mind that I am appealing to fellow Democrats to retire a 30 year incumbent who doesn't represent us or work for our best interest but still has great influence with the wealthiest people in this state and by extension with the rank and file.
Thank you for your determined efforts to return representative government to our state. I also am doing my part.

Mr. Miller:

From: Alex Miller

To: Jack Pelham
Subject: Re: Set your candidacy apart. Take the Rule of Law Candidate's Pledge!
Mr. Pelham,
All elected officials take the rule of law pledge when they swear to support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Yes, AFTER they have entered office on an entirely different platform from obeying the Constitution (in nearly EVERY case).Having seen how effectively that has influenced our incumbents, perhaps you will forgive me for not being a big believer in pledges. Hence, having them pledge BEFOREHAND, basing their campaigns on this very pledge. The likelihood of sincerity, while not certain, is much higher than in the oath of office. I urge you to read over my website and see that such a pledge would be as redundant for me as the oath of office was meaningless to the incumbent. Signing the ROLR pledge is not merely a checklist item for a campaign; it is a participation in a growing brotherhood of political leaders who are united by virtue of their belief in the rule of law and by their willingness to lend their names in support of it. Right now, there are 46 (in 30 days since we started inviting candidates). When there are 4,600, however…and 46,000….then it will not be easy to dismiss this movement.
If you can recommend some part of your website that will contribute to the education of my readers without antagonizing them, I would consider adding a link to your site. Antagonizing? I looked this word up to be sure I understand what you are saying. Here's what I found:
to make hostile or unfriendly; make an enemy or antagonist of: His speech antagonized many voters.
I've not had anyone tell me that they think ROLR is antagonistic, so this comes as a surprise to me. I'm very curious as to what it is that you think your constituents would find antagonistic about the site.
Dear Mr. Pelham,
I visited your site and admire your efforts. I saw nothing that should antagonize anyone. My political views are reflected in my website and, as it happens, coincide with some of yours. I will not obligate the office I seek to any third party by taking their pledges no matter whether I support them, as I do yours, or not. Therefore, I will not sign any third party pledges, including yours.
I will answer your questions and post those answers for all to see, as I have done for other groups, as I believe that to be in the spirit of openness that informs and educates the electorate, without giving unequal access or influence to any individual, business or organization. Beyond the brotherhood of man and membership in the U.S. Senate, I will not tender my loyalty to any group or philosophy other than the people I represent.
Good luck with your website, I wish you well in all of your endeavors.
Alex Miller
Alex Miller for U.S. Senate
Mr. Miller:
You might have extended me the courtesy of asking my blessing before posting a heretofore private correspondence on your website. Though I cannot perceive what it may be, I suppose you have calculated some advantage in doing so.
As to this line in your reply:
"I will not obligate the office I seek to any third party by taking their pledges no matter whether I support them, as I do yours, or not. Therefore, I will not sign any third party pledges, including yours."
…I find it puzzling that you are unwilling to obligate the
office to constitutional obedience beforehand, even though you seem
willing to do so upon inauguration.
Further, it would seem that you find the ROLR to be an inappropriate entanglement for incumbents. I wonder, therefore, why you are congratulating me on the effort.
The Rule of Law Restoration is, of course, neither an entity nor a "party", and holds no sway over candidates beyond the text of the pledges, which they willingly sign. Therefore, the "obligation" of which you write is without substance.
Either way, your reply is a puzzlement.
Jack Pelham
Dear Mr. Pelham,
The point of my campaign publishing 'private' conversations is to illustrate the type of openness that we as citizens wish to see in all of our government's activities. The advantage I see in disclosing such correspondence is in the message it sends to our elected representatives. We want open above board government, not back room special deals for 'connected' individuals. In addition, the average voter will see that reasoned, coherent, clear, and comprehensive answers can in fact be supplied by one running for office. And seeing the clear and undeniable evidence that such is possible, the voters may advance upon the proposition that such is reasonable and so demand it of all elected officials, lest they be turned out.
This is not about your pledge or your website or you or I. This is about returning representative government and the rule of law to Nevada.I am not a professional politician so, I respect the choices and opinions of others who may choose to sign your pledge or any other pledge. I have arbitrarily set certain standards of behavior and license for this campaign and my candidacy, which you now find puzzling. Winning this election is secondary to my primary goal of being the candidate most deserving of winning. To relieve your puzzlement, the meaning of this campaign is government of the people, by the people for the people, in every particular and nuance that I can muster.

Confederate Efforts At Black Enlistment
Contributions To Union Victory
Late in 1862, Confederate president Jefferson Davis attempted to
strike a fatal blow to the prospects of Union recruitment of African
Americans. He ordered government forces to turn over any captured black
troops to state authorities. The white officers would be tried according
to state law for inciting servile insurrection; the runaways would
return to slavery or suffer the death penalty, like their white
officers. No proviso covered the capture of free blacks in Union
uniform. As reinforcement, in late April and early May, the Confederate
Congress passed a joint resolution, also calling for the death of white
officers for inciting servile insurrection and the reenslavement of
black soldiers.
Although this position may have comforted Southern whites, from a
practical standpoint it was unworkable. Europeans, whom the Davis
administration was courting for military assistance, found the policy
offensive. And international law, as the Lincoln administration quickly
pointed out, supported the position that these were legitimate soldiers
and must receive the same rights as white prisoners of war. Lincoln
vowed to retaliate man for man for executed Yankees, and for each black
soldier the Confederacy returned to slavery, he would place a Rebel
soldier at hard labor. Since there were more Confederate than Federal
prisoners of war, Lincoln could ultimately outlast Davis.
In the end, the Davis administration backed down, but Confederate
officers on the scene sometimes established their own policy. Either
they refused to take black soldiers as prisoners or fought under the
black flag, which indicated that they would take no prisoners, nor would
they expect the Yankees to take any.
As a result, wartime atrocities against the USCT were commonplace, as
Confederates hoped to discourage black enlistment and sought revenge for
their contributions to the Union army. The first killings were isolated
incidents. But as the war dragged on and Confederates became more and
more frustrated, atrocities in battle escalated. In 1864, at Poison
Springs. Arkansas, the Federals abandoned the field, leaving behind
wounded soldiers, many of them from a black regiment. Eyewitnesses
assured a Union colonel that Confederate troops murdered them on the
spot. During the Battle of Saltville, Confederates executed numerous
black troops who fell into their hands. Over the next two days, two
separate parties of Confederate troops entered Rebel hospitals and
executed seven wounded black soldiers in their beds.
Without doubt, the most infamous series of atrocities in the war
occurred approximately forty miles north of Memphis, at Fort Pillow. The
Federal garrison consisted of 550 soldiers, nearly one-half of whom were
black. In April 1864, 1,500 Confederate cavalrymen under the command of
Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest demanded the surrender of the fort.
When the Union commander refused, Forrest's troops stormed the fort and
killed, wounded, or captured almost the entire garrison. Two-thirds of
all black soldiers at Fort Pillow were killed, compared to 36 percent of
the white Yankees.
After the battle, Federals accused Forrest and his troops of
committing all sorts of atrocities against black soldiers. Forrest and
Confederate authorities insisted that no such brutal acts had occurred,
that only black soldiers who continued to fight or tried to escape lost
their lives. The U.S. Congress's Committee on the Conduct of the War
launched an investigation and concluded that Forrest's men had butchered
black troops. Southerners, and Forrest in particular, continued to claim
that his command had done nothing wrong. But testimony from both Federal
and Confederate troops and civilians on the scene indicates that
Forrest's men did execute some black soldiers.
Atrocities only served to solidify the USCT's reputation in the Union
army and unite the white officers and black soldiers within those units.
Black regiments responded by fighting under the black flag on occasion
or executing Confederate prisoners without warning. Black soldiers
cried, "Remember Fort Pillow" as they entered battle, and in numerous
instances they gained revenge. In the assault on Fort Blakely, where
black units charged without orders, their behavior differed little from
that of Forrest's men. According to a lieutenant in the USCT, when the
black troops charged, "the rebs were panic-struck. Numbers of them
jumped into the river and were drowned attempting to cross, or were shot
while swimming. Still others threw down their arms and run for their
lives over to the white troops on our left, to give themselves up, to
save being butchered by our niggers the niggers did not take a prisoner,
they killed all they took to a man." White officers sometimes overlooked
such retribution, while other times they proved incapable of putting a
halt to it. In fact, the problem of black soldiers executing
Confederates became so widespread that black Chaplain Henry M. Turner
complained publicly about these acts of brutality.
On April 18, 1864, approximately 3,600 Confederate cavalry overran a
forage train guarded by 1,170 Union troops at an obscure spot in
southern Arkansas called Poison Springs. The 1st Kansas Colored
Volunteer Infantry, the largest unit in the Union escort, bore the brunt
of the Rebel assault and suffered heavily. Out of 438 officers and men
engaged, the regiment lost 117 slain and 65 wounded. Several Federal
survivors claimed they saw their victorious foes killing black
prisoners, including men too badly injured to get away, which accounted
for the fact that the 1st Kansas had nearly twice as many personnel
killed as woundedan unusual occurrence in Civil War combat.
Confederate participants confirmed these atrocity stories. "The havoc
among the negroes had been tremendous," a Texas officer confided to his
journal. "Over a small portion of the field we saw at least 40 dead
bodies. . ., some scalped & nearly all stripped. . . . No black
prisoners were taken." The editor of the Washington Telegraph,
the mouthpiece of Confederate Arkansas, justified such merciless
behavior in these terms: "We cannot treat negroes . . . as prisoners of
war without a destruction of the social system for which we contend. . .
. We must claim the full control of all negroes who may fall into our
hands, to punish with death, or any other penalty."
News of the Poison Spring Massacre soon reached Major General
Frederick Steele's 13,000-man Union army at Camden, twelve miles to the
east. Colonel Samuel J. Crawford and the officers of the 2nd Kansas
Colored Infantry grimly vowed "that in future the regiment would take no
prisoners so long as the Rebels continued to murder our men."
The 2nd Kansas Colored redeemed that pledge on April 30, 1864, when
Steele's retreating forces turned on pursuing Confederates at Jenkins'
Ferry on the south side of the Saline River. At one point in the battle,
Crawford's black soldiers charged two enemy cannon, thrusting their
bayonets into surrendering gunners while shouting: "Poison Springs!" A
private in the white 29th Iowa Infantry, whose regiment supported the
2nd Kansas, wrote his family: "One of our boys seen a little negro
pounding a wounded reb in the head with the but of his gun and asked him
what he was doing. the negro replied he is not dead yet!" During a
subsequent lull in the fighting, details from the 2nd Kansas ranged the
field, cutting the throats of Confederate wounded. "We found that many
of our wounded had been mutilated in many ways," reported the surgeon of
the 33rd Arkansas Infantry. "Some with ears cut off, throats cut, knife
stabs, etc. My brother . . . had his throat cut through the windpipe and
lived several days."
Reflecting on the racially motivated killings at Poison Springs and
Jenkins' Ferry, an officer in the 40th Iowa Infantry concluded sadly:
"The 'rebs' appear to be determined to show no quarter to Black troops
or officers commanding them. It would not surprise me in the least if
this war would ultimately be one of extermination. Its tendencies are in
that direction now."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — For the first time, state employees are being given the option to call in to a state Public Employees Insurance Agency public hearing.
The hearing is set for 6 p.m. Monday.
Employees who wish to take part in the hearing are told to call (304)-410-0513 and enter the code 987342.
PEIA Director Ted Cheatham said it's a chance to gather more pubic input from counties they don't normally travel to.
"We never go to lots of parts of the state. We don't go to Parkersburg, we don't go down to Princeton and Bluefield or Pocahontas County. We thought this is a great chance maybe to let those people call in and get their opinions heard," he said.
The call-in option is being offered due to fewer in-person public hearings. PEIA is hosting four in-person hearings this month rather than six.
Cheatham said the phone-in hearings are set up much like a regular meeting.
"Just like a normal public hearing, I'll cover what's going on with the plan changes and then they're going to be allowed to raise their hand and I can unmute them to let them say their piece based on who wants to talk," he said. "All the board members will be on the call listening as well."
The agency is considering increased premiums and restrictions on prescriptions.
Under the proposal, state employees would receive a premium increase of .5 percent. Retirees and non-state employees on PEIA would receive a 2 percent rate increase. Another change would be to go to a 30 percent payment on preferred brand prescriptions, rather than a $25 or $30 co-pay.

I am imperfect. And I am enough
Last week I went to a class on Whole-hearted Living and Loving. It was based on the book, "The Gift of Imperfection" by Brene' Brown. Many of you are familiar with her ground-breaking work on the impact of shame in our lives. The book covers many ways to bring healing into our lives, to break the hold shame has over each us, in differing ways.
One of the things we talked about in class was how we are enough. How we are flawed, and frail, and that's okay. The facilitator talked about the stories we tell ourselves, how we think if only we can..... we will be worthy. She invited the class to share some of their stories aloud. Some mentioned getting a better job, or losing 10 pounds, or finding the perfect partner. If only that would happen then they would feel worthy.
Of course they're worthy now; we all are. But the lies we tell ourselves, that were instilled in us so early that they are almost our native tongue, say otherwise. We can be so quick to find flaws within us, to feel unworthy in our lives. I was speaking to a friend the other day who is struggling financially and how she felt so unequal to the task of giving the right amount of the right quality of Christmas presents to her family and friends. If only she could afford better presents, then she would be worthy. Another friend mentioned how she feels invisible with her family– as if she isn't good enough for them. If only they would be proud of her, then she would be worthy. For me, I feel unworthy when it seems as if my best isn't good enough– in any situation, as a friend, a parent, a minister, a sibling. If only I could be enough for those in my life, then I would be worthy.
Often the holidays can heighten these feelings of unworthiness, the bright lights and cheerful holiday music seeming to highlight even more our shortcomings, our "unworthiness." I invite you to think of those things that make you feel unworthy– that if only you had more of, or less of then you'd finally be worthy. Now imagine saying that same qualification about your best friend, your child, your parent, your partner. Probably you'd never say of your child, for example, "if he only lost 10 pounds, then he'd be worthy!" or of your best friend, "if she only got a better job, then she'd be worthy." It sounds just as ridiculous to say those things about yourself, when you think of it, doesn't it?
As we enter the thick of the holiday seasons, mid-way through Hanukkah and rocketing towards Solstice, Christmas, and Kwanza, and the end of the year, I encourage you to be gentle with yourself, to consider trading in those old, tired, false beliefs about yourself for something shiny with joy and possibility: the truth that yes, you are imperfect. And you are enough. Write it on your hand if it helps. I did. Happy Holidays.

Continuous Hepatitis E Outbreak in Africa
The Namibian Ministry of Health has announced an outbreak of Hepatitis E in Windhoek, the capital and largest city, for the first time in 34 years, after nine patients tested positive for the disease. So far one person has died. The deceased was a 26-year-old pregnant woman who died immediately after giving birth. Most patients are from Windhoek's informal settlements where water and sanitation are compromised. Up to date, twenty-six people were tested and eight cases are yet to be confirmed.
The country has limited capacity for Hepatitis E laboratory diagnostics. Samples so far have been tested in South Africa. WHO with the support of partners seeks to support the Ministry of Health in strengthening laboratory diagnosis during the current outbreak and as a preparedness measure for future outbreaks.
For more details, please refer to WHO weekly bulletins on outbreaks and other emergencies:

|Spies leaves Yamaha for the Ducati Junior Team in 2013
Photo: Trevor Harlock
Ben Spies has broken the silence on his reasons for his departure from Yamaha's MotoGP outfit in an article submitted to US magazine Cycleworld.com. Spies, a MotoGP race winner with the Japanese factory announced he had opted to leave Yamaha for 2013 in a shock interview to Superbikeplanet.com in the days leading up to the Laguna Seca round of MotoGP. A bizarre occurrence since traditionally a team would be the first to announce changes to their rider line up. The move would have undoubtedly landed Spies in hot water with Yamaha and incited much speculation into the reasons Ben Spies had left one of the most successful GP teams of the last decade and as to where he would go next. Now, 6 months on the truth has been revealed.
Spies endured the most unlucky of seasons in 2012, suffering a plethora of mechanical failures amongst issues such as food poisoning and a faulty visor steaming up in bad conditions. Something just wasn't meant to be. Now, Spies has revealed that after the Mugello round of MotoGP (where Spies suffered horrific food poisoning and was sick in his helmet) a "Senior Yamaha employee" had told him that if he wasn't going to put in 100%, not to turn up to the next round in Laguna Seca. It was after this that Spies claims he made the decision to leave Yamaha for 2013, despite having no other plans for the next season.
Spies is keen to highlight that this was not the only reason for leaving, he spends the vast majority of the article explaining exactly why he felt he couldn't go fast on the Yamaha – a bike that had been built for the smoother racing style of Valentino Rossi and even smoother style of Jorge Lorenzo. Spies eludes to the strengths of the YZR-M1 being polar opposites to the strengths that would suit his more aggressive riding style.
When Spies left Yamaha in July, he said he did not know what he would do for 2013 as time moved on he suggested he had options in MotoGP, WSBK and was even considering joining Casey Stoner in retirement. In the article for CycleWorld.com Spies reveals that much of the speculation was true, his four options were Ducati in WSBK, BMW in WSBK or Ducati or Gresini Honda in GP. Spies suggests the Ducati offer was simply too good to refuse but doesn't rule out a return to World Superbikes in the future. Spies also reveals he will be keeping long-time crew chief Tom Houseworth when he rides for Pramac Ducati next season.
The full article, written by Spies himself can be read here: http://www.cycleworld.com/2013/01/02/ben-spies-leaves-yamaha-for-ducati/ – and I would strongly suggest you do so, it makes a very interesting read.

Look to the friendly professionals at Floor Coverings International of Charleston for all of your flooring needs! Whether you want to rejuvenate your office or freshen your home, our staff members can guide you to the flooring alternative that will meet your needs and more. We like to recommend birch due to its top-notch strength and impressive durability to anyone in the Lowcountry who are interested in hardwood. Our clients enjoy its raw beauty and earthy style that makes it suitable for any living or working environment.
About Birch
Birch may be a cousin to oak, but it sets itself apart on the flooring market as a naturally firmer, sturdier species. This hardwood has various gorgeous and unique features, including a curvaceous grain and earthy palette. The price of this lumber is considerably lower-to-average in cost in comparison to its fellow hardwood alternatives, making it the perfect option for anyone in the Lowcountry that is shopping with a specific budget. The upgrade to birch will serve as an investment that will benefit your home for the present and the future.
Uses in the Home
This flooring is available in a range of neutral hues that make it a solid selection for any simple or bold taste. Birch has lighter sapwood and darker, contrasting heartwood, a multifaceted display of light, creamy shades that gracefully mix deep red and dark brown undertones. This hardwood has a waviness that mirrors a flame-like look, typically running perpendicular to its grain. This is known as curly birch! The combination of colors and delicate patterns make each plank absolutely original.
Birch flooring is low maintenance and has a cleaning ritual similar to other hardwoods. We encourage our clients to respond with haste and mindfulness when messes occur. Our professionals suggest a routine sweep to prevent dust from accumulating because it could harbor foreign objects that will scratch your floor. Dry mopping liquid spills will remove the threat of moisture while preventing warping and permanent damages. The application of a sealant or finish is unnecessary for the success of your floor, however, will aid in its success.
Start Today!
Give us a call to learn how you can incorporate this high quality, high functioning hardwood into your residential or commercial space! Call the friendly professionals at Floor Coverings International of Charleston today to schedule a complimentary in-home consultation and visit from our mobile showroom.

Sermon preached at Christ the Servant, Stockwood, Bristol, 23 May 1976
Anything which you ask in my name, the Father will grant to you.
Now surely there must by now be an enormous queue of people forming, every person in that line with an objection, an example, an instance, saying,
"Now, look here, I asked for this."
"I prayed to God for…"
"I petitioned God most humbly, concerning…"
"I fasted for three days before going on my knees."
And every person in that queue would agree that they had most faithfully and reverently finished their prayers (indeed, doesn't every prayer finish), "through Jesus Christ our Lord."
We are asking things in his name; and they don't happen.
And perhaps with one voice they would say, protest: "why does Jesus in the Bible say one thing, and God in our lives seem to say another?"
No. Don't dismiss my imaginary queue of protesters. They are honest but puzzled enquirers into their faith. Are not their questions genuine? Haven't they been on many a Christian's lips at some time? And to say by way of an answer, "well, you've got to have faith" will not do. It's frustratingly not enough.
If you will, first, accept me as a member of my own imaginary queue, and not as the smug quizmaster of the TV contest who's peeped at the answers already, I'll offer to you some of the ways which I have found helpful in trying to come to terms with this asking and answering of prayers.
"I don't see why I should have to pray at all. God knows what we want before we ask it; so why waste so much time?"
Yes, God does know. He knows what you need. Now, this may not be the same as what you want. In effect it's as if God says, "yes, I know what you need, but do you? Are you really sure? Better ask, and find out."
You may have a heart as big as the world for which you pray, but you are only a small part of it. God's eyes, and wisdom and plans are greater than your best efforts. Resist trying to tell God what to do. You don't know the whole plan, and left in your inadequate hands the whole thing may get messed up. But the Father will place into your hands that part of his will that you are capable of fulfilling.
"Does it mean, then, that God will not do anything for us unless we ask? Isn't it a case of you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours?"
If God were a rich but unpredictable old uncle whom you had to make sure got served first at dinner, and that his slippers were warming by the fire before he could be approached for your pocket money, or a tyrant king who will only listen to those with the biggest barrow-load of woes or the longest list of requests… yes.
But doesn't he make his rain to fall and his sun to shine on the evil and the good, the unjust and the just? How constant is his care, when we are inconstant in prayer! If it were not so, then mind the attention, the concentration dare not falter for a minute, or disaster!
But it is true to say that God does not always do what we call "good turns". It is true to say that there are some things which come to you only after a deliberate asking. Such gifts as stronger faith, deeper peace, greater patience. Before such can be received, you first have to realise a need for them, to hunger and thirst after them, to ask, seek and knock persistently for these gifts of the Spirit. Not that this is meant to rouse a sleeping God, but to receive such gifts the receptacle must be purged by trial, discipline and faith.
"I keep praying, but I find it hard to believe that anybody is really listening. Am I really talking to God, or merely to myself?"
Keep on praying. The surest way of not finding an answer is to stop. Prayer is an act of faith. If you believe in God, carry on. Faith does not depend on feelings, for feelings come and go but God is constant.
Yes, there will be times when prayer seems addressed to an iron wall and an ever-deaf ear. Why should this be? There are rises and falls in emotional life; moments of uplift followed by those of dullness. You can't live on the mountains all the time.
You are meant to grow up, and cannot be carried, nestled like a baby, all the time. It is important to stand on your own two feet, and to trust God even when you can neither feel nor experience him.
If the divine spark, the spirit of God, is within you as you pray then to the question, "am I talking to myself or to God?" the answer comes: "Both are true."
[The manuscript ends here. – SJC]

Captive Management
A captive is an insurance company created and wholly owned by one or more non-insurance companies to insure the risks of its owner (or owners). Captives are essentially a form of self-insurance whereby the insurer is owned wholly by the insured. They are typically established to meet the risk management needs of the owners or members. Captives are formed to cover a wide range of risks; practically every risk underwritten by a commercial insurer can be provided by a captive.
Captives can be established to provide coverage where insurance was unavailable or unreasonably priced. The benefits of a Captive include:
- Asset protection from the claims of business and personal creditors;
- Reduction in the amount of insurance premiums presently paid by the operating company;
- Access to the lower cost reinsurance market;
- Insuring risks that would otherwise be uninsurable and the
- Opportunity to accumulate wealth in a tax favoured vehicle.
This alternative form of risk management is becoming a more practical and popular means through which companies can protect themselves financially while having more control over how they are insured.
There are various types of captive structures. The vast majority of captives insure only the risk of its parent ('pure' captive).
Captives operate on two main bases;
Reinsurance captives
This is the most prevalent form of captive in Europe. This type of captive underwrite risks through a local insurer, termed a fronting insurer, which is generally a conventional external insurer.
The parent and/or its subsidiaries pay premiums to the fronting company in exchange for cover which is provided on the understanding that a large proportion of the total risk is reinsured to the captive.
One of the primary reasons for operating a reinsurance captive, rather than a direct writing captive, is that in some territories the law requires that certain types of coverage can only be purchased from insurers licensed within that territory
Direct-writing captives
These are captive insurers which underwrite the risks of the parent company, without the use of a fronting insurance company.
The fundamental advantage of this form of captive lies in the fact that the entire underwriting process takes place in house, thus eliminating the expenses of the fronting company.
In addition, the use of a direct writing captive structure facilitates access to the wholesale reinsurance market and thus provides a highly cost effective risk transfer solution to corporate clients.

About Megalomaniac
Help me please to find cheap SEO hosting account
Megalomaniac replied to goody75's topic in Web HostingSEO hosting can't be really cheap by definition. Some companies offer that as part of the service and some companies offer that as core service and I would recommend you to concentrate on the ones which provide that as core service. seohost.com is the one which have that as core service.
SSD host with low prices
Megalomaniac replied to Gollad's topic in Web HostingAs far as I know kvchosting has such low prices because they have own facilities and Data Centers and do not rent anything.
What are hosts which can offer VPS in Bulgaria?
Megalomaniac posted a topic in Colocation, Dedicated & VPSOne of my clients need to get VPS in Bulgaria. Better if it has English speaking support. I have done research around the Market and only discovered that warez-host.com is the one. They are offshore hosting provider. Is there anyone who tried them?
VPS with SSD
Megalomaniac replied to outstanding's topic in Colocation, Dedicated & VPSIn my opinion you need to explain more what you are looking for. Or you just want to consider kvchosting as only option? If you can include more details in youyr request you will be able to get more recommendations based on it. Like hostwinds, knownvps are the ones you can check as well.
vps with discounts
Megalomaniac replied to outstanding's topic in Colocation, Dedicated & VPSWhy do you try to chose VPS services because of the discounts? That is wrong way! If you are looking for the decent VPS - have a look at superbithost.com. They do not have discounts, but they have good services.
Shared Hosting is Required
Megalomaniac replied to Denis's topic in Web HostingFor windows hosting I can recommend you: winhost.com aspnix.com For linux based: kvchosting.com hostgator.com
need to sign up with a quality shared hosting
Megalomaniac replied to WebMaster's topic in Web HostingBefore you sign up with any web hosting company you need to check all reviews about them and only then decide. In any case you need to be prepared for that fact that your own experience will be different then the one described in the review. From my past experience qhoster.com is the one I can recommend.
VPS deal to buy
Megalomaniac replied to WebMaster's topic in Colocation, Dedicated & VPSBefore you start the search I think that would be a good idea to specify at least for yourself what kind of server you are looking for.

The primary cause of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing. Homeless people don't have much to eat so we will help build more soup kitchens with the money that is donated to our organization.
The homeless people don't have much to eat so we got to feed them. Over 15 million American children rely on food banks for assistance.You need at least 56 grams per day for the average man. 46 grams per day for the average woman. A good source of nutrition is need without it people will die you don't want this kind of thing to happen to innocent people.
The diet of the homeless is not as rich and varied as that of the people who have access to a kitchen. Most people tend to associate food drives with the holiday season. Food banks,however,face their greatest need during the summer months, when classes end and children are no longer receiving free or reduced-cost meals at school.
The diet of a homeless person usually revolves around quick foods that can be bought ready-made or that required no heating or preparation.1 in 7 Americans live on incomes that put them at risk for hunger.These people need help and they need a place to go.The number of people in America that are in poverty is 48.2 million people.
The plan of the organization is collect donations from people around the world that want to help and use all the money to build more soup kitchens. To provide for the sick and people that don't have homes that are living on the streets everyday. We need all the help we can get to show that peoples needs are more important they greed.So please help out this organization we need all the donations we can get.

Extended Dynamic Views 1.2 Release
From that 'ah-ha' moment that led to the creation of Extended Dynamic Views (EDV), we've held to the belief that EDV can leverage any data that may be stored within your eDOCS DM database to make the hierarchical navigation of your DM system possible.
Little did we know then just how far our customers would push us… When we thought it was flexible enough, you asked us whether we could go just a bit (or a lot) further. When we could, we modified the tool to suit (but always with general applications in mind) and when we couldn't, we noted it for future consideration.
With the release of EDV Administrator Tool v1.2.0, we've went back to those "futures" and incorporated as many as possible into the product. Many had workarounds that we've now made standard. Some are just usability issues that are overdue. Some were never possible before. Together though, EDV is more useful, user-friendly, and performs better than ever before. We're excited and hope you can tell.
This post serves as the announcement that it's here. We'll be reaching out to existing partners and customers shortly with additional information but we'd like to highlight a few of the changes in the meantime. Following this announcement, we intend to revamp our demos and document some of the interesting (crazy?) ideas we've got of what just might be possible. There's more coming, trust us.
Without further ado, here's are some highlights list of what comes with v1.2.0 (and perhaps a few pre-release copies some of you have):
Filtering by constant
Ever wanted to only see "open" matters (e.g. MATTER.STATUS = 'OP') or oil wells that you "own" (e.g. ASSET.OWN = 'Y') within your dynamic view? Imagine DM lookup filters applied to dynamic views and you've got the idea.
Document Driven Filters
Imagine a parent to document type. Now imagine that those appear automatically within the given matter when a document using that value is created. Previously, all document driven filters needed to be directly linked to the profile table. No more.
Performance Improvements
There's nothing like field experience… EDV now automatically includes several performance enhancements while reducing complexity presented to the administrator. What's not to love when it's simpler and faster?
XML Export/Import
This took far too long. We only fully really realized the importance of this feature once we had it in our hands during testing! Whenever you build a dynamic view within EDV, it's now automatically exported to XML (example below). That XML file can now be imported. What does this mean? Well… you can much more easily deploy an EDV to many libraries of the same design. Heck, once you've proven you're a DM Supervisor, we can even automatically configure a DM legal database in one click. Ok, it's actually a few clicks since we really, really want to make sure you back up your database but still, it's a far cry from having to manually build the dynamic view.
We can also troubleshoot issues more easily. And can make minor adjustments to the dynamic view right in XML. And, well, it documents the dynamic view design. You can't even imagine how much easier this makes it for us to test EDV in the lab… Shown below is an example of matters that only show under the selected client when their practice code is not "CA" (CA = Class Action in this system).
Usability Improvements
We've actually reduced the number of fields on our dialogs. We've added tool tips. We've auto-populated fields based on prior responses. We've fixed the window focus issue at last. Most importantly, we've added a dialog to check the Max Items values and dynamically adjust them to select the best combination for growth versus caching. Now I'm getting too technical but suffice to say, our engineers will be happy.
Bug Fixes
No one likes to talk about bugs but we've had our share and we'll have more. That said, this release fixes many while also making the troubleshooting process easier than ever.
When we first launched EDV, we built a tool to do more than Dynamic Views. Now it's even easier, smarter, faster, and yet simpler. We can't wait to get this into the field to our partners, clients, and prospects. We've also been holding back for some time while we made these improvements. Now that they're done, we're ready to show some knock-your-socks off functionality. Looking forward to the conversations and the out-of-the-box thinking this brings up. We love your ideas. Bring 'em on.

On Friday a low pressure system formed off Gladstone late on Friday generating a large storm swell along Australia's East Coast. By Saturday afternoon the swell had risen to a rather decent size making the paddle out rather precarious!

Case Law Shorts July 19, 2013 New York Appellate Division, Second Dept.
Deed/Fraudulent Conveyance/Debtor Creditor Law/ "Badges of Fraud"/Intent: Husband transferred property to wife. Judgment creditor sued to set aside the deed, arguing that husband made the transfer to avoid paying creditor, and moved for summary judgment. The Supreme Court, Kings County denied but the Second Dept. reversed…"'Pursuant to Debtor and Creditor Law § 276, [e]very conveyance made and every obligation incurred with actual intent, as distinguished from intent presumed in law, to hinder, delay, or defraud either present or future creditors, is fraudulent as to both present and future creditors' (Matter of U.S. Bancorp Equip. Fin., Inc. v Rubashkin, 98 AD3d 1057, 1060; see Pen Pak Corp. v LaSalle Nat'l Bank of Chicago, 240 AD2d 384, 386).' 'Direct evidence of fraudulent intent is often elusive. Therefore, courts will consider badges of fraud,' which are circumstances that accompany fraudulent transfers so commonly that their presence gives rise to an inference of intent' (Pen Pak Corp. v LaSalle Nat'l Bank, 240 AD2d at 386, quoting MFS/Sun Life Trust-High Yield Series v Van Dusen Airport Servs. Co., 910 F Supp 913, 935 [SD NY 1995])." The Court stated that husband transferred the property for inadequate consideration and continued to live in the premises. Husband argued that the transfer was made in anticipation of a divorce, but that the parties reconciled. However, the Court was not persuaded and stated that the evidence was insufficient. 5706 Fifth Ave., LLC v Louzieh, Appellate Division, Second Department, 2013 NY Slip Op 05187, July 10, 2013
Case Law Shorts July 7, 2013 New York Appellate Divison, Second Dept.
MERS/Mortgage Foreclosure/Standing/Holder of Note and Mortgage: MERS, as nominee for lender, foreclosed and defendant countered with lack of standing. Defendant maintained that MERS did not own both the note and the mortgage when MERS filed the action. The Supreme Court, Suffolk County, granted summary judgment to MERS stating that the standing argument was "mere conclusory allegation, expression of hope or unsubstantiated claim.". On appeal, the Second Dept. reversed after searching the record, stating that MERS failed to prove ownership of both the note and the mortgage when it commenced the action.The Court was not pursuaded by language in the mortgage that authorized MERS to foreclose and further stated that a subsequent assignment of the note to a sustituted plaintiff did not prove that MERS owned both instruments when it commmenced the action. Homecomings Fin., LLC v Guldi,Appellate Division, Second Department, 2013 NY Slip Op 05048, July 3, 2013
Case Law Shorts July 7, 2013 New York Appellate Division, Second Dept.
Easement/Driveway/Subdivision/Over-Burdening: Defendant subdivided a dominant parcel into three subparcels and attempted to construct a driveway over a dedicated easement to a road. Plaintiff sued to prevent the driveway arguing "reasonable use". The Supreme Court, Nassau County, dismissed the case but the Second Dept. reversed stating that although the defendant documented the grant of the easement, it failed to "conclusively establish, as a matter of law, that the construction of the driveway constituted a reasonable use of the easement, necessary and convenient for the purpose for which it was created, and that the driveway did not materially increase the burden on the servient estate." Shuttle Contr. Corp. v Peikarian, Appellate Division, Second Department,2013 NY Slip Op 05057, July 3, 2013

A journey into the strange world of mysterious Toraja People is truly a rare adventure, made especially eerie by their hauting tombs - holes carved out of sheer rock faces guarded by wooden effigies that stare out across the jungle.
Toraja Land, is known for its unique culture and ancient traditions. The center of tourism is Rantepao, 328 km from Makassar by road (about 8 hours).
|Torajan culture is a complex blend of ancestor worship and animistic beliefs where rituals for the dead are colorful festivals to pave the way for the soul's entry into the hereafter.
This unique culture, the scenic beauty, cool climate and gentle people are the main reason that Toraja is gaining popularity as a tourist destination.
For many visitors, Toraja will linger in their mind as a land steeped in mystery, magic and ancient traditions. It is one of the world's rare cultural treasures. The most spectacular of Torajan rituals are the funerals. For Torajan, a funeral is the single most important ceremony in the life cycle.
It is based on a strong belief that the soul of the deceased travels to the land of the south and in this land of eternity, he will need all the requisites of everyday life in the hereafter just like when he was alive in this world. Funeral ceremonies are festival lasting as long as ten days with much feasting and entertainment.
Animal sacrifices are made to ensure eternal life in the afterlife and to safeguard the descendants.

First up this week, is the Victoria & Albert Museum's exhibition Lockwood Kipling: Arts and Crafts in the Punjab and London, a fascinating exploration of the life, work and lasting impact of John Lockwood Kipling (1837 – 1911), an artist, writer, museum director, teacher, conservationist and influential figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. The exhibition includes a wide array of objects, including book plates, jewellery, furniture, photographs, and other forms of decorative art. The exhibition is complemented by the conference The Many Careers of John Lockwood Kipling (25 Feb), and runs until 2 April.
Secondly, I enjoyed Pat Thomson's post, 'What does a book proposal reviewer do?'. Having recently acted as a reader for a press, while concurrently having my own book proposal under review at another, the ideas in this post are something I've been thinking about a lot.
I was interested to note two complementary conferences on issues of photography and materiality, the first Photo Archives VI: The Place of Photography (Oxford, 20-21 Apr 17), and the second, Photo-Objects. On the Materiality of Photographs and Photo-Archives in the Humanities and Sciences (Florence, 15-17 Feb 16). As I continue my new research on photocollage, I'm becoming increasingly concerned with the idea of photograph-as-object, something that these conferences also look to explore.
As a keen advocate of academic blogging, I read Jeanne de Montbaston's post Why do academic blogging? with interest. I find it particularly interesting that so much of de Montbaston's teaching and research output starts life in the blog post form. I'm keen to experiment with blogging from the early stages of my research process for my new project on collage.
I'm eager to hear more about the newly-launched Eighteenth-century Arts Education Research Network (EAERN), which recently received funding from the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The network 'brings together an international community of researchers in music, art, literature, history, and dance to share approaches to investigate eighteenth-century arts educational materials'.
The following conferences, seminars, and CFPs also caught my eye:
CFP: At Close Quarters: Experiencing the Domestic, c.1400-1600
CFP: Beyond Between Men: Homosociality Across Time
CFP: Imagined Forms: Models and Material Culture, UD-CMCS/Hagley; November 2017
Programme: Edinburgh's Nineteenth-Century Research Seminars
CFP: Mapping Black Mobilities and Identities in the Long 19th Century
CFP: Harts & Minds, Vol.3, Issue 2 (2017) 'Embodied Masculinities'
CFP: Arthur Symons at the Fin de Siècle (21 July 2017)
CFP: Beyond the Home: New Histories of Domestic Servants (Oxford, 8 September 2017)
CFP: Printmaking in America, 1800-1865 (Gloucester, 28 Oct 17)
CFP: Full Circle: The Medal in Art History (New York, 8-9 Sep 17)

How does it work?
Step 1 - Your customer enters their card details on your own payment page, all of which connect into Elavon Payment Gateway.
Step 2 - Once the customer has entered their card details and has decided to pay, our gateway encrypts the information and sends it to the bank for authorisation.

Multiculturalism and Its Benefits
In the former case, more open dialogue between different cultural groups should be encouraged. Dialogue at a young age, between student and teacher
for example, can teach citizens to express what they feel they would like to learn and what they would like to see on a more practical level happen with their own country's multicultural development.
With the latter problem, one could argue that the civil rights movement of the sixties as well as the women's liberation activism of the seventies were obtrusive; going against years of conservative practices always is. But sadly, sometimes that is the only way things change for the better .
As seen from the above examples, there are benefits in all areas when people of different cultures can live harmoniously together. In this day and age where economic, educational, social and artistic exchanges are on the rise, an awareness and the practice of multiculturalism is vital. The government is usually the first official body that can lead the way in such matters, but every citizen has his own part to play; we have seen the consequences otherwise.
