probability despite the fact that it might have high impact. Thus when passing on risk
information, officers should consider using a long horizon to make the risk more apparent.
For instance, Morrow (2009) suggest that " instead of telling people there's a 1 in 100
chance that a flood is going to occur next year, telling them that if they're living there for 25
years there's a greater than 1 in 5 chance that they'll have at least one flood" (p.37). This
gives messages some sort of credence and can influence people's perception of risk.
8. Disseminating risk information
Most national campaigns have always viewed the public as a homogenous unit and adopt
a mainstream approach when disseminating risk information. This assumption is often
wrong as most people who do not speak English as a first language may not receive
information through mainstream radio, television and newspapers. A localised based
approach is more likely to be successful when disseminating information too hard to reach
groups. These could take various forms ranging from:
� Information sessions , pen days and local community events
� Memorandum of understanding with Interpersonal media channels such as:
Asian radio stations or Radio Africa.
� Local racial and equality commission.
� Local press and social media networks i.e. Face book, Twitter, You tube.
� Migrant resource centres or community based service clubs i.e. (Rotary
clubs, Girl Guide and boy scouts).
Religious bodies i.e. churches and mosque or NGOS
� Piggy back on work with other bodies especially the local authority
� Libraries and schools
9. Using insurance to promote community resilience
Student Number: 06146954 Candidate Number: 294033
Persuading people to take up flood precaution measures is often an overwhelming task.
However if people are given a signal for safety, they might know how exposed they are
and buy into flood risk reduction initiatives. Kunrether and Erwann (2001) suggest using
risk based insurance premiums as a signal to reflect risk in an area. "Risk-based premium
provides that signal, but it also encourages investment in cost – effective mitigation
measures. If you do something to make a house or your property safer you should get a
premium reduction". Hence it might be helpful if The Environment Agency work with
insurance firms in providing low insurance premium packages to people who have some
form of mitigation measures.
10. Using training and qualifications as an incentive
Training and qualifications can also be used as an incentive to promote community
resilience programmes. This might be useful in persuading people when they see the
benefits they can gain from flood risk alleviation initiatives. Training can involve recruiting
flood wardens within the community and then giving some form of NVQ qualification in
flood risk management. Such training helps to get buy-in and enables flood wardens to
educate their local community. This can be beneficial for the longer term and sustainability
of a flood risk communication project
6.5 Closing Remarks
The above are just suggestions and are not necessarily prescriptive. However looking at
the number of recommendations provided in this chapter, it is clear to see that there are
a lot of issues which need to be resolved. The author hopes that these recommendations
and project can help the Environment Agency fulfil its legal obligation as a category 1
responder, to warn and inform communities who are hard to reach. There is no single
flood awareness method that will guarantee a successful risk communication
programme. However depending on the area , a combination of the methods above can
Student Number: 06146954 Candidate Number: 294033
guarantee success. The rule of the game is tenacity and respect for people's outlook
hence community engagement officers need to bear this in mind. This research has
critically examined the importance of delivering culturally appropriate preparedness
messages in a multicultural society, however more work needs to be done in this subject
area. For instance, it was noted that there was a limited amount of literature on risk
perception and religion during the course of research. Religion does make people repel
danger; hence it is recommended that this area of understudy is further developed.
Student Number: 06146954 Candidate Number: 294033
The shared attributes of a group of people; a common heritage or leaned set of beliefs,
norms and values. Culture is not static, but changes over time and context (DHSV, 2010,
The term "cultural competence" is a set of congruent behaviours, attitudes and policies
that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals that enables effective
work in cross – cultural situations (Cross, Bazron, Dennis and Isaacs, 1989, p.3).
Race is a dynamic set of historically derived and institutionalized ideas and practices that
sorts people into ethnic groups according to perceived physical and behavioural human
characteristics associates differential value, power, and privilege with these characteristics
and establishes a social status ranking among the different groups (Markus, 2008, p.654).
Ethnicity as a dynamic set of historically derived and institutionalized ideas and practices
that allows people to identify or to be identified with groupings of people on the basis of
presumed commonalities including language, history, nation or region of origin, customs,
ways of being, religion, names, physical appearance (Markus, 2008, p.654)

The process through which an older generation induces and compels a younger
generation to reproduce the established lifestyle (Oltedal, Moen, Rundmo & Klempe,
2004, p.10).
Acculturation comprehends those phenomenon, which results when groups of individuals
having different cultures come in into continuous first-hand contact, with subsequent
changes in the original cultural patterns of either or both groups (Redfield, Linton &
Herskovits ,1936 , p.149).
Cultural sensitivity means been aware that cultural differences and similarities exist and
have an effect on values, learning and behaviour (DHHS, 2003, p.7)
An early warning system is a technical facility, which consists of a monitoring system for
detection of the relevant processes or process changes and of a communication system
for alerting target groups (United Nations, 2006)
Risk communication is an interactive process of exchange of information and opinion
among individuals, groups and institutions. It involves the messages about the nature of
risk and other messages not strictly that expresses concerns, opinions or reactions to
risk messages (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2003).
Risk perception is the subjective assessment of the probability of a specified type of
accident happening and how concerned we are with the consequences. To perceive risk
includes evaluations of the probability as well as the consequences of a negative
Student Number: 06146954 Candidate Number: 294033
outcome. Perception of risk goes beyond the individual, and it is a social and cultural
construct reflecting values, symbols, history, and ideology (Sjoberg, 2004, p.8).
The process of transmitting information to the general population to increase their levels
of consciousness about disaster risks so they can prepare appropriately to cope with a
disaster (VUSSC, 2010, p.77)

As darkness fell on the banks of the Muddy River, the Red Sox last night boarded a bus at Fenway Park and set out to seek their destiny. They rode to Logan, flew to LaGuardia, bused to Manhattan, and began their final preparations to play the Yankees tomorrow night in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.
Within nine days, the Sox either will have clinched their first World Series berth in 18 years -- and a shot at their first world championship since 1918 -- or have started their winter vacations.
"No one is expecting us to win because of history," Johnny Damon said. "But we feel like we've had the best team since Day 1. We just need to show up and play well. If we can play defense and hit a little bit, we're going to win."
A year after the Sox and Yankees clashed in one of the most memorable series in playoff history, Curt Schilling will renew the ancient rivalry when he faces Mike Mussina in the Bronx. The teams have played 45 times over the last two years, with the Sox going 23-22 but losing the most important showdown, Game 7 of last year's Championship Series on Aaron Boone's 11th-inning homer.
Almost every game since then, it seems, has further stoked the rivalry.
"This is what rivalries are about," Kevin Millar said. "This is two cities that don't like each other and two of the best teams in the American League going at each other. This is exactly the way it should be."
The Sox fell three victories shy of catching the Yankees in the American League East and gaining home-field advantage in the series. Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 are scheduled for the Bronx, with Games 3, 4, and 5 in the Fens.
"I just don't know how much more there is to say about it," Sox principal owner John W. Henry said. "We all know. We played them even for 26 games last year and another 19 this year. It's hard to imagine two more evenly matched teams. We can't ask for more than that in the playoffs."
Some of the Sox welcome the series as an opportunity to overcome the franchise's 86-year championship drought.
"We enjoy the fact that we're going up against history," Damon said. "Nobody is scared of it. Everyone wants to take it. We like the challenge."
The Sox have gone winless in four Championship Series since they lost to the Mets in the 1986 World Series, bowing to the A's in 1988 and '90, and the Yankees in 1999 and 2003. But the franchise's past futility mattered little to the current players.
"We're a good team, they're a good team," Doug Mientkiewicz said. "The past has absolutely nothing to do with it."
Even Sox players who considered the team's history were quick to discount it.
"If you sit there and dwell on it, you're going to worry about the past," Jason Varitek said. "You have to worry about what you can do today."
Nor was general manager Theo Epstein consumed by history.
"It sounds cliche, but this team's success is due in large part to their approach, which is coming to the park every day prepared to do everything under the sun to win that game on that day," he said. "That's what we have to do eight more times. If we do that, history will take care of itself."
Henry was asked if the Yankees might enter the series with a psychological advantage because of their history of postseason success.
"Not at all," he said. "You've been in this clubhouse. Do they appear to be psyched out? No. I think they're ready psychologically, emotionally, and physically, which is really important."
The Sox announced their four-man rotation for the series -- Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Bronson Arroyo, and Tim Wakefield -- but planned to wait until tomorrow to announce their full 25-man roster. They are scheduled to work out today at Yankee Stadium, and they don't expect to see any ghosts.
"I'm not a math major, but I don't think any of them were around [in 1918]," manager Terry Francona said of his players. "There's a lot of interest in everything the Red Sox do around here. They know that. But sometimes I'm not even sure they know how many outs there are in the inning, so I'm not too sure this other stuff is going to be a real factor."
It was all but impossible to find anyone associated with the Sox who would dispute that the current team is better than the club that fell five outs shy of winning last year's Championship Series. The Sox cited the offseason acquisitions of Schilling and Keith Foulke as major difference-makers.
"With the addition of another No. 1 and a closer, we have to be stronger," Henry said. "I feel very good about it."
The Sox also believe their defense and base running have improved since last year.
"Last year, we were a little one-dimensional," Epstein said. "We were really an offensive juggernaut, and run prevention wasn't necessarily our strong suit, although we did pitch really well in the postseason. This year's team is a bit more multidimensional and there's no glaring weakness necessarily when we execute the play right."
The test begins tomorrow night.
"A lot of people are calling this the World Series right here," David Ortiz said. "We'll see."

Casting Kanchi
To cast Kanchi, Powell & Pressburger conducted a nationwide search. In all, almost 1000 hopefuls applied, with over 200 girls tested and interviewed. The coveted role went to seventeen-year-old Jean Simmons, who had won worldwide acclaim for her performance as Estella in Great Expectations (1946). To fulfil the role, she had to wear dark Panstick make-up and a jewel in her nose to become the "exotic temptress" of Rumer Godden's novel.
In late 2014, I recast the role auditioning Indian ex-pat or first-generation British Asian women living in London. Shot on 16mm film, candidates had to introduce themselves to an anonymous reader, recite a personalised alphabet, which include references to the history of photography and gender politics and read lines from a script whilst seated and standing. During the recital, a digital image of the Himalayas appears within a masked out rectangle. It signals the modern medium to which Kanchi will enter in other works in the show.
5 Seconds of Summer
Elephant Boy (2016)
Single-channel video
2016 | HDV | B+W | Sound | 3:15 | English
Krishna Istha re-enacts the introductory sequence of the 1937 Robert Flaherty and Zoltan Korda film Elephant Boy, in which child actor Sabu recites lines by rote in English despite not being conversant with the language.
The work explores how colonial violence is imposed on individuals as they take on a new language. The introduction is testament to this: the words and grammar don't always make sense, just as language evolves, erodes and changes over time. The delivery of the lines also draws upon the uncomfortable nature of miming, and miming other people, in particular by those who wish to ridicule and differentiate based on the cuts and timing of the source material.

ARTS, BRIEFLY; Bringing Up Superbaby: Diane Lane as Ma Kent
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: March 4, 2011
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a former cast member of ''The Outsiders'' who we never expected would one day grow up to be the mother of a quintessentially all-American superhero: it's Diane Lane, who is only the second member of the cast to be announced for a new Superman movie that the director Zack Snyder is preparing for next year. On Wednesday night, Warner Brothers Pictures said Ms. Lane, whose more recent movies include ''The Perfect Storm,'' ''Unfaithful'' and ''Secretariat,'' would play the mother of the film's title character - not the Kryptonian mother of Kal-El, who arrives on earth from a dying alien planet, but Martha Kent, an adoptive parent who raises him in his guise as Clark Kent.
Mr. Snyder, the director of previous comic book adaptations like ''Watchmen'' and ''300,'' said: ''This was a very important piece of casting for me, because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role, because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.''
Warner Brothers previously said that Henry Cavill, a star of ''The Tudors,'' would play Superman and his bespectacled alter ego, Clark Kent, though no other casting - not a villain, and not even a husband for dear Martha - has been announced yet. Mr. Snyder's Superman film is being prepared for a December 2012 release.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

Response to
Progesterone Shots
My last PIOs, the first two nearly killed me. They were a more highly concentrated form (100 per something), requiring half the amount to be injected -- 1cc. When I changed to the lower concentration of 50 per whatever, and 2ccs to inject, all was fine again. Maybe you could check that.
Otherwise, there is a pretty wide range of where you can shoot - if you are in the wrong spot, you will FEEL it right away. It will hurt. That's the main concern, not whether you are getting it into your bloodstream.

Topic: Missionary (10/19/06)
TITLE: Confessions of a Would Be Missionary
By Marita Vandertogt
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel. . . . (Rom. 10:15).
I cover mine with shoes. Usually up-to-date, and of course, enviable.
And I walk in places that bring me pleasure. Shopping malls, movie theatres, restaurants.
I didn't always.
Once, a very long time ago, I wanted to be a missionary. Work for God. That's what I thought a missionary did, though I wasn't sure of the exact job description at seven when I thought I felt the call of God on my very young life.
I knew it would mean giving up friends and moving miles and miles away from home, to a different culture, and eat things I wouldn't hold in my hands, much less bring up to my lips.
But that was going to be okay, because I was going to be a missionary, and that's what missionaries did. They lived a life of drama and romance. Or so I thought.
But then, I was also going to be a movie star. Have long flowing hair, and command, by my very presence, an audience to stand on their feet in a roar of applause.
There is no applause for being a missionary.
Thus the dilemma, when I was seven.
Now that I'm older, and wear shoes that I find attractive rather than practical, I know better, about being a missionary.
I know I could never have done it.
I have a friend who did. She worked in Cambodia and she told me about the heat, the people, a life that isn't really your own, not really. A life that is constantly available to the people around her. And where she doesn't care what kind of shoes are on her feet, as long as they get her over rough country to where she's going when the four wheel drive gives out. And her eyes shine when she tells me, and her smile is real. About the people, and the love she feels for them. Real love. Not the kind that smiles and says how are you, but the kind that draws them into her own life, and ultimately, into His. And sometimes I have to look away, because maybe, just maybe, I was supposed to be there as well. But I'm not.
Our pastor preaches that we are all missionaries, right where we are.
But it still isn't the same thing. Not really. That's being a witness. Not a missionary. A missionary, well, that involves a special kind of sacrifice.
A special place in the eyes of God. It has to.

Patna: Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh has said that the coordinated efforts of security forces in Bihar have been successful in suppressing the Maoist menace.
Congratulating Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the state police for their efforts to tackle the Maoist threat, Ramesh said although Jamui district was still a major Maoist stronghold, as compared to other states suffering in the red corridor, the situation in Bihar was brighter.
"We have achieved success in this state. The CRPF and the state police have worked closely and cooperated well. I do agree that Jamui is still one district where in many blocks the Maoist problem dominates. But as compared to level of Maoist insurgency in Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra, the Maoist problem here is not so serious," said Ramesh
He also revealed some points decided during his meeting with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday.
Ramesh said that Kumar has asked for an increase in funds for the Prime Minister's Rural Roads Project and the first installment of 2012-13 for the drinking water supply project.
"The Chief Minister has asked for more financial assistance for the Prime Minister's Rural Roads project. I have assured him that the government will not allow any scarcity in the finances. We also discussed some Peyjal (drinking water supply) projects between the central and state government," he said.
"I expressed my concern that the work was going on at a slow rate but the chief minister has given me the assurance that the work will be up to the mark An amount of rupees 172 crores was demanded by the chief minister. This is the first installment for 2012-13 and the right of Bihar. We will be releasing that money in the next couple of days," he added.

Life is much harder when you are in junior high school
By Ginger Lumpkin
, Honeycomb
Wednesday, May 7, 2014 10:00 PM
Ginger is an author, speaker, and mother of five. Find her on Twitter (@GingerTruitt), on the web at www.gingertruitt.com, or contact email@example.com.
I recently had lunch with a friend who shared concerns about his daughter's school struggles. "Why are Junior High girls so mean? Seventh grade is like introductory level petty."
It was in seventh grade, when I had my first sleepover. I was beyond excited that Kim and Amy were going to spend the night. My mom was even allowing us to sleep in the living room instead of the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. Granted, we didn't have cable TV, or an Atari station, and my dad was kind of goofy, but these girls were my friends, so I didn't think those things mattered.
I had asked ahead of time what they would like to eat, and they said pizza. I only remembered ordering pizza once in my entire life. It was a luxury we couldn't afford. I mentioned it to mom, and without hesitation she said, "We can make homemade. It will be much cheaper."
Pizza of any kind was a treat, and I was glad mom had come up with this frugal solution.
When Kim and Amy came home from school with me, we rolled up our sleeves and got busy kneading the dough. Then dad fired up the old black and white television, and we watched Family Ties, Silver Spoons, and a couple of other sitcoms. We laughed and giggled late into the night, and mom only got onto us twice for being too loud. All in all, I considered my first sleepover to be a roaring success!
Monday morning, as I started up the back stairwell of our narrow, four-story, school building, voices floated down from the top floor.
"She is nice and everything, but that was the most boring night of my life," Kim stated.
"Yeah," Amy agreed, "I hope she doesn't invite me again. Could you believe that stupid joke her dad told?"
She repeated the joke, and the giggles of a gaggle of girls rang down the stairwell, peppered with phrases like, "No way! Did he really say that?" and "How totally embarrassing."
"The worst part," Kim continued, "we had to make our own pizzas, and watch black and white TV. And then we slept on this rickety, old, sofa bed. Seriously, I thought I might die from boredom."
My steps slowed as I listened to them continue making fun of my family, my home, and my apparent inability to throw a party. When I reached their gathering place on the fourth floor landing, they faltered slightly, and then regrouped, acting like they were my best friends. I smiled faintly, and forged ahead with life. I didn't need "best" friends, or sleepovers, or any of the other bull caca that goes with being a 13-year-old girl. All I needed was a good book, a typewriter with a fresh ribbon, and a Milky Way bar.
That's how I survived Junior High, and that's what I suggested to my friend. If your daughter is struggling with the mean girls, help her find and develop her personal interests. Give her something to be excited about that doesn't depend on the approval of a bunch of girls that are simply blips on the radar of her life. Finding solace in food was a bad habit, but the reading and writing paid off. I believe we each have something that we inherently enjoy, but it has to be discovered. Give your girl the gift of discovering new things; things that will broaden her horizon, and help her see that the world is much bigger than a four story stairwell. As her world expands, she will have a better chance of surviving Introductory Level Petty fairly unscathed.

The Hungarians have decided: they do not want illegal migrants, and they do not share the intellectual frenzy of the European left, the Prime Minister said on Saturday who informed his audience of the results of the national consultation on the topic on the closing day of the 26th Bálványos Summer Open University and Student Camp (Tusványos).
Before an audience of several thousand people who gathered together on the sports field of the open university held in Transylvania, Viktor Orbán pointed out: one cannot see the political future with sharp eyesight, or with a pair of powerful binoculars because the future "is not ready". We must decipher the future from that which we already know, and in the great competition of understanding the past, those will win who arrive at the right conclusions more swiftly and more courageously.
DownloadToday we must appreciate the conclusions of the phenomenon of modern-day mass migration, the Prime Minister said, adding that, with the disintegration of the countries of North-Africa, the defence line which once protected Europe, and which absorbed the masses of people coming from the interior of Africa, has evaporated.
"The real threat is not coming from the war zones but from the depths of Africa", Mr Orbán highlighted, and warned that the current wave of mass migration is only the beginning.
What we have at stake today is Europe, the European way of life, the survival or disappearance of European values and nations, or their transformation beyond recognition, Mr Orbán pointed out.
The Prime Minister highlighted that the question now is not merely what kind of Europe we, Hungarians would like to live in, but whether that which we call Europe today will at all survive. We would like Europe to be preserved for the Europeans, he stated. "But there is something we would not just like but we want because it only depends on us: we want to preserve a Hungarian Hungary", he stressed.
Mr Orbán takes the view that this must be pointed out repeatedly because there are some who think otherwise. The European left does not perceive immigration as a source of danger but as an opportunity, he said.
The left believes that the escalation of migration may definitively debilitate, or even eliminate, national boundaries, and this would constitute the attainment of the long-term objective of the left in an historical perspective, the Prime Minister told his audience.
"While the Hungarian left incited against Hungarians beyond the borders in 2004, they would today readily embrace illegal migrants, and would await them with open arms. These people, these politicians quite simply do not like the Hungarian people", Mr Orbán concluded. In his view, a fair number of financial and political power centres in Brussels, too, have a vested interest in wiping away national aspects, and eliminating national identities. He added: if the left had been given the chance to form a government in 2014, "within a year or two, we would not recognise our country; we would be like a refugee camp".
He remarked: there was a time when the EU offered genuine solutions to genuine problems, but something "has gone wrong", and the once pragmatic Europe has become an ideological fixation.
"What we, Hungarians do is successful, beyond doubt, but does not fit into Brussels' ideological concepts; in other words, it does not weaken but reinforces Hungarian national and state sovereignty, and is to be condemned from that point of view", Mr Orbán said.
He reiterated: the first country which needed a rescue package after 2008 was not Greece but Hungary. Yet, after 2010, Hungary succeeded in reaching a point where its debts had not increased but decreased, and achieved this against the background of the fact that it never sought any kind of preferential treatment or respite for the repayment of its debt.
Viktor Orbán took the view: we may now clearly decipher the most important tasks from the phenomenon of illegal migration.
In the Prime Minister's opinion, the Hungarian people cannot allow a repeated attempt at the multicultural model at their expense. At the same time, they must see the correlation between the masses of migrants coming to Europe and the spread of terrorism, as well as the fact that illegal migrants contribute to a rise in unemployment, and police statistics also confirm that wherever there are migrants in large numbers, security is compromised, and there is an increase in crime.
Mr Orbán established: illegal migration is equally a threat to Hungary and Europe, a threat to our common values, our culture and diversity. The country has found itself in a trap: ever newer waves of migrants are coming from the south, and there is a risk that migrants who left Hungary will be turned back to Hungary from Western-Europe. The country will not be able to endure this double pressure, Mr Orbán pointed out, who takes the view that this is the reason why it was necessary to find the points on which we can agree as a community within the framework of the national consultation.
The Prime Minister said: more than one million of the eight million questionnaires were completed and sent back, and according to the results, 95 per cent shared the view that we must support Hungarian families and children, rather than migration.
More than two thirds of Hungarian people find the issue of the spread of terrorism relevant to their own lives. Three quarters of them believe that illegal migrants are a threat to the jobs and livelihood of the Hungarian people. Four fifths take the view that the policy of Brussels regarding immigration and terrorism has failed, and we therefore need a new approach and more stringent regulations. The same percentage of people encourage the Government to adopt more stringent regulations in contrast to Brussels' more lenient policy, it transpired from the answers given to the questions.
The Prime Minister believes: the results show that Hungary is a safe and stable country, and the Hungarian people want to remain a united and balanced nation in the uncertain world that surrounds them.

Festival of Masters Welcomes Artist Graham Knuttel
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - The works of Irish artist Graham Knuttel have found homes among Hollywood royalty like Sylvester Stallone, Whoopi Goldberg and Robert DeNiro. On Nov. 11, 2011, one of the renowned artist's works will find a home at Walt Disney World Resort.
His latest commission - a painting for Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant at Downtown Disney - will be unveiled during the opening day of Festival of the Masters, one of the Southeast's most highly regarded juried art festivals since 1975. While the painting will be on permanent display at the pub, Knuttel will exhibit a collection of many new pieces at the Nov. 11-13 festival and will appear at Raglan Road "Meet the Artist" events Nov. 12 at 2 and 3:30 p.m.
Known for his bold, bright canvases of stylized figures, Knuttel's Raglan Road painting is based on a poem, "On Raglan Road," written in 1946 by lovesick poet Patrick Kavanagh and recorded in song by Ireland's greatest folk musician, Luke Kelly. The pub scene in the painting pops with more than two dozen unconventional Knuttel figures that include Kavanagh, Kelly, Irish rockers Bono and The Edge and writers James Joyce and Brendan Behan. Looking closely, admirers may discover a photo of a child wearing mouse ears.
Nearly 150 award-winning artists who create paintings, jewelry, sculptures, photographs and more will show off their works at the festival. There's also live entertainment and family-friendly activities each day. Hours are 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission and parking are complimentary. More information: disneyworld.com/artfestival.

Skip to comments.DNC chairwoman slams GOP on energy ahead of Obama speech
Posted on 02/23/2012 9:45:13 AM PST by Sub-Driver
DNC chairwoman slams GOP on energy ahead of Obama speech By Ben Geman - 02/23/12 11:05 AM ET
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Thursday that GOP White House hopefuls will do nothing to help consumers at the gasoline pump.
The Florida congresswomans comments come hours before President Obama is slated to give an energy speech in Miami aimed partly at rebutting GOP political attacks over rising gas prices. She said the GOP plans would keep the United States dependent on foreign oil.
The Republican field, like Mitt Romney, thinks that we just need to remain tethered and dependent on foreign oil because all they would do is more and more drilling, which is a very shortsighted approach and it would do nothing to prevent people who are struggling to put $80 into their gas tanks to be able to make sure that thats more affordable, Wasserman Schultz said on MSNBC.
And that is another example of how they are economically out of touch, she said.
Policymakers across the political spectrum, especialy in the near term, face few options to substantially affect pump prices, which are tethered to oil prices set on global markets.
But surging gasoline prices are nonetheless feeding GOP attacks against the White House, and pose a threat to Obamas campaign, which has been buoyed by a spate of good economic news recently.
White House officials have moved to defuse the issue in recent days with a multi-pronged message that includes touting the extra money to consumers from the payroll tax cut.
Press secretary Jay Carney has warned there are no magic solutions, while highlighting rising oil production on Obamas watch and support for new Gulf of Mexico and Alaskan lease sales, as part of a wider energy strategy that boosts alternative fuels and increases auto efficiency to use less gas.
Republicans on Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail allege President Obama is blocking expanded energy supplies.
They point to actions such as the rejection of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline and the administrations decision not to offer up areas off the Atlantic and Pacific coast for drilling.
GOP White House hopeful Newt Gingrich, in particular, has latched onto gas prices in an attempt to rescue his struggling campaign.
I've developed a program for American energy so no future president will ever bow to a Saudi king again and so every American can look forward to $2.50-a-gallon gasoline, the former House Speaker said at Wednesday nights debate in Arizona.
Gingrich vows that if elected, he would massively expand areas made available for oil-and-gas drilling, approve the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, roll back environmental regulations and take other steps he argues will ease costs.
Wasserman Schultz, on MSNBC Thursday, defended Obamas energy policy.
President Obama has employed an all-of-the-above strategy. We have more domestic energy production in the United States today than we have ever had. We have investments in alternative energy, we are making sure that when it comes to solar and wind and other kinds of renewable fuels that Barack Obama is talking about, making sure we make those kinds of investments, she said.
Carney, in a briefing Wednesday, stopped short of saying that Obamas policies will lower gas prices, noting, Im not going to predict gas prices, and instead emphasized energy security.
I can't predict what oil prices will be in a year or two years or even six months. I would be careful of anyone who says they can, he said. But what we can do through policy is increase our domestic production of oil and gas, increase our overall domestic sources of energy, including alternative energy, and thereby insulate ourselves from some of the shocks that come in the future.
More propaganda from one of the communist apparachniks - real surprise there.
That bimbo can't spell "energy" without help from the net.
And she can shove her silly notions up her smelly Obama.
"The Republican field, like Mitt Romney, thinks that we just need to remain tethered and dependent on foreign oil because all they would do is more and more drilling ... "
Huh? Drilling for our own oil keeps us dependent on foreign oil?
She really must be as dumb as she looks.
High gas prices IS his energy policy.
Along with high electric and natural gas prices.
His whole agenda is based on artificially raising the prices of energy via government regulation in order to make his "green" energy boondoggles cost competitive.
How long are people going to put up with this idiocy?
A 40% annual inflation year after year in the cost of electricity/natural/gas/automotive fuel isn't enough to wake the clueless sheep like American voters to the economic idiocy of the "green" movement and their mindless puppets the US Democrat Party?
They're going on the offense because they see reality bearing down on them.
I don't doubt that Obama wants to stifle energy production in all possible ways. Energy is the lifeblood of the economy, and he can't control the people unless the economy sucks.
And that is another example of how they are economically out of touch, she said.
"Look, it's raining!", she said, squatting over your
How can anyone believe this administration has upped
oil production after witnessing the last three years
of obstruction.
In a just world, they would all be hanging from lamp
She makes Al Sharton look articulate.
Slut for satan BLOWING kisses to the fag in chief.
It just amazes the hell out of me that the American people are so damn gullible I'm begining to see how the word Zombie was developed.
out of her effing mind. lying with a straight face (with crooked teeth) has been elevated to an art form with these people.
DRILL dammit, DRILL.
And yet, the pablum fed voting bloc will lap this crap up.
sounds like she's not looking at reducing the cost of fuel but setting up to promise some kind tax credit/0Bama-stamp to help pay for it.
I can see it now, the zero platform will include some kind of "fuel credit" based not on not so much what you consume as how "not rich" you are.
Another us vs them game, using my friggin money to buy votes from the people that do not pay taxes
She's background noise. Not even the furthest left true believer sits around hanging on her every word!
The Hard Facts:
* 97 percent of Federal offshore areas are not leased.
* 94 percent of Federal onshore areas are not leased.
So Deb, see anything your prez can do about the energy problem?
I've been told that if you hold her head up to your ear, you can hear the ocean!
Surely the other candidates had a response, didn't they?
And only Gingrich with his "struggling campaign" gets quoted.
I guess the real question is...Can anybody else besides me see what is going on?
Maybe just asking the question is all that's necessary.
Nuttier than squirrel crap!...
Sounds like the ocean ... smells like the Mississippi !!

Judge's 'buyer beware' to Limerick student who bought car on Done Deal
A JUDGE has dismissed a case taken by the mother of a student who ran into difficulty while driving her first car for the first time, stating "caveat emptor - let the buyer beware".
Kilmallock Court heard how the student had to ring her parents to tell them the car "wasn't going well at all" while driving the car for the very first time.
The car was purchased after it was advertised on Done Deal as "a fabulous little car".
Geraldine Noonan of Coolfree, Ballyorgan, Kilfinane took a case against Geff O'Sullivan of Cullen, Mallow to recover €3,650 for damages for breach of contract and/or breach of warranty.
The plaintiff purchased from the defendant a silver Renault Clio Dynamique for the sum of €3,000.
Geraldine Noonan's daughter Sorcha Noonan who is studying psychiatric nursing in Waterford IT told Kilmallock Court that she saw an ad for the car on Done Deal and arranged to view it with her two brothers around the date of August 8.
Ms Noonan said one of her brothers took the car for a test drive down the road "and it seemed fine" and the decision was taken that they would purchase the car.
The court heard that a deposit of €400 was paid for the car and Mr O'Sullivan was to get the VRT and NCT done on the car. The court heard that Mr O'Sullivan gave out an old business card with his contact details on it.
Ms Noonan explained that Mr O'Sullivan brought the car to her family home at a later date, on a trailer.
Ms Noonan said that the following Monday she drove the car to Limerick.
"The car just wasn't going well at all," Ms Noonan told the court.
When asked by her solicitor, Kevin Power, what problems she experienced with the car Ms Noonan replied: "There were three lights on the dash and it was very hard to start the car."
The court heard that Ms Noonan drove the car home and later that evening drove the car to Cork.
Ms Noonan said she was still experiencing difficulties with the car and informed her parents of the problem.
Solicitor for Mr O'Sullivan, Jacquelyn Dunne, said that the number on the ad was not her client's number but his son's number and said it was his son who put the ad on Done Deal.
The court heard that the ad said the car was on offer for €3,200. The court heard that an offer of €3,000 was accepted by Mr O'Sullivan.
The court heard that the car was delivered to Ms Noonan in late August. Going on her recollection, Ms Noonan said it was delivered on a Friday or Saturday and she drove it the following Monday.
Ms Dunne said her client would say the car was tested on Saturday, August 24 and was delivered on Monday, August 26.
Ms Noonan said she wasn't at home when the car was delivered.
Ms Noonan said that the car was brought to a garage the day after she first drove it to Limerick and Mr O'Sullivan was contacted almost immediately about the problems.
In her evidence, Geraldine Noonan told the court that her daughter needed a car to travel as part of her college placement.
The court heard that the car was transferred into Geraldine Noonan's name. She said she was in the sitting room of her home when the car arrived on a trolley. She said her husband met with Mr O'Sullivan. Geraldine Noonan claimed the car was pushed off the trolley and left in the yard.
She said when her daughter later rang her to tell her she wasn't happy with the car she told her to bring it home, and that she contacted Mr O'Sullivan to tell him they weren't happy with the car.
Geradline Noonan said that Mr O'Sullivan told her to bring it to a garage "and he would stand over it".
Ms Noonan said the garage man said it would cost €2,000 to repair.
She that she rang Mr O'Sullivan back "and he said that man is over the top, I'll fix that for €400."
Ms Dunne said her client would say that the first he heard about the car not working properly was when the garage man contacted him.
When asked if her client offered at any stage to contribute to any of the expense, Geraldine Noonan said he said he would fix it, that it would cost €400 and then offered €700.
In his evidence, engineer Anthony Greene said he inspected the car on September 28. He said that when he tried to start the vehicle it took four or five minutes before it eventually "fired".
He said he noticed there was accident damage repair work carried out on the vehicle to the right hand side.
He said in his opinion the quality of the repair work was not to an acceptable standard. He said he extracted fuel from the fuel filter which was "contaminated with a considerable amount of dirt and a black substance which looked like paint".
He said a background check showed the car had four previous owners.
When cross examined by Ms Dunne and asked whether the defects associated with the car's cylinder would render it a danger to the public, Mr Greene said that if the car was only running on three cylinders and Ms Noonan was trying to overtake, "it certainly would be dangerous to try and overtake a vehicle in it because it wouldn't have the power to overtake".
Mr O'Sullivan who was retired from working in waste water treatment said he purchased the car in April 2013 in Armagh and his son drove it home. He said he got the car serviced and was happy with the service. "The car was perfect," he said.
Cross examining, solicitor for Ms Noonan, Kevin Power, put it to Mr O'Sullivan that when the ad said it was "a fabulous little car" it implied that everything was 100% in the car.
Mr O'Sullivan said the car underwent the NCT a couple of days before it was delivered to Ms Noonan's home. He said the car was transported on a trailer because he wasn't insured to drive it. He said he drove the car off the trailer and up the yard and said there were "no problems whatsoever".
Judge Mary Larkin said she was satisfied that Mr O'Sullivan was selling the car as a private individual and added " caveat emptor – let the buyer beware".
The case was dismissed.

My father aged 100 has decided not to replace his
and in September was told he had 3 months life left in it. To date is is almost 4 months - can anyone give me the symptoms he will experience when the battery starts to wind down - will death be immediate or slow? He has no underlying heart rythym - can the doctors be wrong when they give this diagnosis? Currently there are no obvious signs of failure.

3 weeks ago I had a Pacemaker
due to the fact my
on my
was running low. The new
installed is a Medtronic Adapta. Since the new pacemaker my Heart beat has been all over the place. My 1st Enrhythym was paced at 80 bpm, and it pretty much stayed like that for 5.5 years until the battery started to go. The problem is is that the new Pacemaker is not like that at all! My heartbeat goes from 56 to 93, back to 71 then 86, and has gone a high as 100.

I apologize that I have no personal experience to share with you. I do know that
of the
is a minor surgical procedure. I am familiar with pacemaker implantation. They are often or use to be placed just under the skin. I have never heard of them breaking through. But I understand your concern. Usually approval for Medicaid is not a lengthy progress once all the paperwork has been completed. Have you called to check on the time frame? If not I would.

Isn't the doctor written down PPM (permanent pacemaker)? What is the different with just

then? I think now a day some types of pacemaker also can pace out the abnormal rhythm before it reaches to the ventricle. Like my A-Fib and A-Tachy, it will reach directly to my ventricle without passing a traffic light.

I know if she could make the decision herself she would tell me to not change it and leave well enough alone. I don't know what to do.

Seems it was done before you moved (out) to the desert. Can you arrange to travel somewhere for a routine
? From what I have read here I take it replacement isn't often. What kind of hospital ir Ridgecrest, religious, community... I'm not an expert on types of hospitals and bring the subject up only to see if that provides ideas on how to escalate your complaint about service. If the hospital doesn't have the capability to provide specialized services then it can't.

In my case the
was successful, and was a repair, not a
, so my hope was high that I'd beat AFib with the next electrocardioversion. But, it seems my left atrial chamber had enlarged too much, I can no longer hold an electrocardioversion, longer than you, the last one lasted a week, but not long enough for it to be a solution. Metoprolol controls my maximum HR well, if I take 100 to 150 mg a day my rest HR stays under 90.

I should also mention she had to have a
placed 3 years ago and the
is running low already. She is currently taking Procrit every other week because of hemolysis of the RBC's from the valve. I don't have a list of the other meds available right now, but I could get it. Please advise. Which type of Doctor do we need - Cardiology or Cardiothoracic Surgeons?

They put in the pacemaker and now he just recently had a new
put in--his leads were still good (10 years later). He was told he only needed the
due to having 3 issues, (one was a hole in his heart). Anyway--whats odd though is everything I read says 2nd degree usually and 3rd degree always requires a pacemaker. His 20 bpm seemed to come out of nowhere one day. I guess inspite of the way I hate drugs and invasive stuff--if I were 3rd degree-I would get the pacer.

mmm, yeah that might too high and we want to save
. I am going to setup your
at 46 which is your average when you sleep.
technician : "I can't setup your pacemaker to fire lower than 46. You choose...45 or 50? Me: ???? ok....45 6 weeks later... Pacemaker Technician : "It looks like that the second lead is not in use at all. The 2 parts of your heart synchronise well together .

My husband has been totally reliant on a
since unsuccessful
for WPW 27 years ago. Recent nuclear testing shows CI although his pacemaker is rate-responsive. He's at the end of life of his 3rd battery. One failed lead was replaced 13 yrs ago and so 3 are in place. He now needs a 4th lead but has ongoing circulation issues from the space occupied by leads. Would a dual-sensor pacemaker be likely to help the CI? Would all models require 2 new leads instead of one?

To all who wished me good thoughts over my pacemaker "generator" replacement. It does sound more impressive than "battery" !! I'm told I have the very latest in technology and can now be "found" by the new system that "reads" your pacemaker without you having to "phone home" and do the telephone game; alas I had to burst the pacemaker rep's bubble and remind her that I am only near a "landline" in the winter.....

1st he had a valve
and single bypass
. Since that time he has had to have fluid drained from his right lung on two occasions; the last time they gave him steroids and things improved. He just called and said the lung is full again and must be drained again in a couple of days (after going off the Cumadin). I am terrible worried that this is horribly serious; he can't seem to get any answers and he is in a huge metropolitan area with University Medical center treatment.

If he gets a pacemaker, how serious is this
is similar to a cardiac catheterization and only local anesthesia is used to insert the pacemaker into the chest wall. Minimal anesthesia may be required when testing these devices. 4. Will he ever be able to resume his active lifestyle??? Doctor says he's in EXCELLENT physical condition. The valve was replaced because he damaged it as a boy with Rhuematic fever.

It is the only one that does not cause me hallucinations. I am a 66 y/o male who had Mitral Valve
and double bypass
in 2001. I suffered cardiac arrest in the ICU and my chest was reopened, and another bypass done. They inserted leads into, or near, my heart so I could be hooked up if I suffered Cardiac arrest again. Kind of like a couple of terminal leads on the battery of your car. LOL!

I finally went to a new doctor who told me I'd need a
ASAP. My right ventricle did reduce in size after the valve replacement surgery. Here I am 7 years later and needing a new one. My new doctor is looking into getting me approved for the new procedure of replacing the valve no-evasively with a heart catheter. I've been lucky with my procedures so far, my first one by all acounts was done very well and my second went smoothly at the Cleveland clinic.

the nature of the
and repair done; the risks; the limitations following
would be welcome. My cardiologist does not want to discuss such before the other tests. The pacemaker was rushed 17 years ago; but if this is not a rush I would probably like a second examination at a facility with more experience and advanced options than my cardiologist in Fort Wayne, Indiana has available.

Three weeks ago I received a Medtronic bi-ventricular implantable device which serves as a

There is a bump and still some swelling at the ICD site, but there was no bleeding or oozing at the ICD site and I didn't get a fever.

CALGARY, Jan. 18, 2016 /CNW/ - Petrowest Corporation ("Petrowest" or the "Company") (TSX: PRW) is pleased to announce that the BC Hydro Site C Clean Energy Project ("Site C") main civil works contract is positioned to be underway before the end of January. As a reminder, the main civil works contract is the largest single contract for construction on the Site C project, valued at approximately $1.75 billion. It includes the construction of an earthfill dam, two diversion tunnels, and a concrete foundation for the generating station and spillways.
The main civil works contract is Petrowest's largest contract award since inception and provides the Company with a strong growth platform entering 2016 and further establishes Petrowest's transformation to a diversified infrastructure company.
Rick Quigley, Petrowest's President and Chief Executive Officer, states: "Over the past 10 years, Petrowest has grown from an energy focused service provider into one of Western Canada's largest diversified infrastructure construction companies. Entering 2016, Petrowest not only has won our largest contract to date, it is strongly positioned to benefit from major infrastructure projects announced to date in Western Canada and expected to be announced in 2016".
Site C
Petrowest, alongside its Peace River Hydro Partners (Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc. and Samsung C&T Canada Ltd), are positioned to commence operations on the main civil works portion of the Site C project before the end of January. Additional details in regards to Petrowest's interest in the Peace River Hydro Partners include:
Base Business
Entering 2016, Petrowest has successfully transformed into a diversified infrastructure company. In aggregate, Petrowest expects to have approximately 15% of its total revenues in 2016 (including Site C) derived from the E&P industry, of which 100% of its revenue is related to liquids rich natural gas projects such as the Duvernay in NW Alberta and the Montney in NW Alberta and NE BC. In addition, Petrowest is excited to announce that it has been named the Prime Contractor for Progress Energy's civil earthworks program around the Fort St. John area.
Petrowest's base business (excluding Site C) exited 2015 with over $100 million of projects expected to commence in 2016, which is over 25% higher than its lowest point in 2015. In the Construction Division, Petrowest has increased its focus on mid-stream and road infrastructure projects. In addition, in the Civil Division, Petrowest has been awarded additional contracts including additional work at the Fort St James mine and the Regina Ring Road, which are expected to contribute higher revenues in the first quarter and help contribute to a strong operational year.
Based on the information provided above, Petrowest currently expects its base business and the main civil works contract of Site C to achieve approximately $45 million in Adjusted EBITDA in 2016.
Additional Emerging Opportunities in 2016
In addition to the contracts expected to commence in 2016, Petrowest has a strong pipeline of near-term infrastructure opportunities which include:
Western Canadian Infrastructure Projects:
Emerging BC LNG Projects:
Syndicated Credit Facility Update
Petrowest previously announced its lenders (under both the syndicated credit facility and the subordinated debt agreement) have granted waivers to February 29, 2016 conditional on Petrowest providing a 2016 budget to its lenders on or before January 18, 2016.
