Can we use the legal system to hold corporations to account in the US? Jeff Monahan looks at the opportunities and limitations.
– By Jeff Monahan
Typically an arms race is a competition between enemy states to innovate and design the most dangerous technology in order to gain the upper hand. It requires (I imagine) meticulous testing and attention to detail on both sides of the conflict. In the business of outsourcing product labor, however, each side competes to pay the least amount attention as possible while not innovating at all. This arms race creates danger as the byproduct of having the upper hand in the court room.
Companies that engage in outsourcing labor do so by contracting with a foreign factory as opposed to buying the land and setting up the factory themselves. This way they can avoid liability for accidents that happen on site. The more contact a company like Walmart, Adidas, or Gap has with the factory that makes their products, the more likely they are to be found liable for what happens. This stems from legal principles of agency, which essentially say that the less control a company exerts over a subordinate employee or subsidiary, the less they can say that a resulting accident was the company's fault. This makes sense, but it means that the companies have an incentive to keep as far away from the actual production factory as possible. Full accountability is placed on the foreign factory.
The factories in developing countries that employ the workers have the incentive to remain profitable and stay in business, of course, but improving safety conditions can be expensive and cut away at those profits. In many of these countries unionization is difficult or illegal, and without strong unions to keep the factory in check and demand improvements their incentive to avoid the cost runs unbridled. Factory tragedies like the ones in Tazreen and Pakistan are the result. It's like the pre-union days in the U.S. and U.K: there is no remedy for on-site injuries. And even if the factory is sued en masse their pockets aren't deep enough to cover the damages. That's why we boycott and protest Walmart and Adidas until they cover the rest. Again, there is very little accountability.
The reason that U.S. corporations cannot be sued for injuries or lost salaries is because the laws are not written to cover them. There are only a couple federal statutes that a foreign union could sue under, but the laws are not written to cover them because corporations fork up millions of dollars to lobby legislators to draft them that way. The rationale they offer for not holding them liable is the fear of frivolous lawsuits against the company – they think they would get sued for everything. There is some merit to this fear: lawsuits bring bad publicity and companies may be forced to settle claims that have no basis in the first place. But the alternative currently in place causes far greater harm.
Forced to choose between two evils, the legislature chose the one that favors corporations, and the result is that full responsibility for sweatshop safety is placed on the foreign factories that house them. With no law designed to hold Walmart, Gap, or Adidas liable, the only hope would be for a court to interpret a law in a way that reaches them. The workers are not a party to the contract between the corporation and the factory, however, and although courts have skewed laws to protect third party plaintiffs before, they are unlikely to do so in this context. The court will not and should not make the laws, and without a strong indication that a law was intended to provide protection, a court would keep the burden on the lawmakers for any change.
How can we use the law?
So, it's up to the legislature, which is heavily influenced by corporations' deep pockets, but also controlled by the people. This leaves two options: we can either affect the laws or we can affect the companies who exploit them. Call your state rep and tell him or her that the Alien Tort Claims Act (ACTA) or Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act should be amended to hold corporations liable for egregious accidents that they have the money, power, and moral obligation to prevent. Doing so could potentially force companies to run their own factory abroad if the international owners are not trustworthy enough to do it themselves.
Once you have called your state rep, e-mail the company themselves and ask them why they don't take the responsibility to manage a factory. We would be thrilled to hear their responses. And finally, if all else fails, join organizations like ours and help us raise awareness and activate a change. The law may not be on our side, but if we work together in solidarity we will make the difference.

Two year ago today, the world lost a legend of video games, Satoru Iwata. While I was incredibly sad to hear of the passing of a man who helped to shape mine, and millions of children's childhoods, I was touched by how much the video game community game together to honor a man who followed his passion and lent his genius to so many wonderful games and projects. Fans of his games went all out to honor his memory and show support for one another, coming up with lots of different fan art and even go to the headquarters of Nintendo of America and leaving flowers and memorabilia to honor his memory. This was one of those rare moments where gamers were able to come together as a community and mourn in such a beautiful way, and it was a proud moment for me to say that I am a gamer, and I am part of this community.
When someone hears the term "gamer", they have certain ideas about what it means. Some people hear the term and picture someone sitting in their basement playing games all day and avoiding the world, or perhaps they think that all "gamers" are either young or immature. The truth though, is so much deeper than that. Gaming has evolved into a major economic market, but more importantly, it is a community. The gaming community has evolved with the use of services such as Youtube, which is a category all to it's self. Youtube gamers play games competitively, delve into the back story of games, show off cool tips and tricks for games, and even just play through games normally while offering commentary to their viewers. All of these Youtuber's are gamers, and they all do what they do because they enjoy it, they don't do it because they have too, or because it's their job (although some gamers do make money doing it). They play these games, and take the time to create and edit their own videos, simply for the joy of gaming, and for the entertainment of the community. In doing this, these men and women engage the community, they chat with their followers, they make videos that they know people will enjoy, and that is what is so wonderful about it. It's all because of the shared joy that we as gamers all know.
Far from the stereotypical idea that gamers are reclusive and shut off from the world, we have actually grown to not only play games and make friends with people we would never talk too otherwise, we have actually evolved to the point that we can give back to the world at large. Every year all kinds of people who have only ever met online, come together in person and spend hours and even days on end playing games together, laughing and sharing stories and games, all in front of a camera so people all over the world can watch. To your average person, this may seem like a giant waste of time, doesn't that just enforce the stereotypes that gamers are immature and lazy? Far from it. Organizations such as Extra Life and Games Done Quick bring these gamers together and let them do what they do best, play video games! While these gamers sit in front of that camera together and play games, people all over the world can watch, and donate money to the organization. By doing this, these two groups and lots more gather money for all kinds of charities including The Children's Miracle Network, Doctors Without Borders, St. Jude's Childrens Research, and so many more.
At the end of the day, being a gamer doesn't make you some weirdo or oddball. It doesn't change who you are, and it doesn't make you any better or any worse than anyone else. You are nothing more than a person who has found something they love to do. In this world we live in, things are not easy, there isn't always a simple puzzle to solve to move on to the next area, and you definitely can't fight through tough obstacles, but with all the hatred and violence in the world, sometimes a person needs something to look forward too. A hobby to help them cope with the difficulties we all face. And if you're lucky enough to have your own community of friends, either online or in person who you can enjoy being a gamer with, then that's something to be proud of. At the end of the day, after work is done, and life has done it's worst…. Then, it's game time.

A planet in a far system has been colonized from Earth. After many aeons, the last of the colonists, who have preserved the original human type, are driven to take flight in a space-ship by a terrible plague that has wiped out all their fellows. They seek the mother planet, Earth, of which traditions have been preserved — and find that the root-stock of humanity has evolved into something as little like men as men are like prehistoric reptiles. Regarded with horror, treated as monsters, they flee again to seek some new world.

5 Natural Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements for Men's Health
5 natural
vitamins, minerals and supplements for improving men's health.
Nattokinase may provide support of healthy blood pressure. Research has shown that nattokinase supports the body in dissolving blood clots and has been shown to be four times more effective than plasmin, which is an anti-clotting enzyme produced in the blood.
Curcumin is a chemical found in turmeric - may help enhance brain abilities and avert the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Research has suggested that curcumin inhibits the growth of amyloid plaques which are harmful protein deposits found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Hyaluronic Acid is a component of synovial fluid which helps hydrate and carry needed nutrients to the areas of the body where it is manufactured including the skin, eyes and cartilage. Supplementation can improve the thickness of the synovial fluid in the skin, eyes and cartilage and reduce pain and swelling within the joints.
Wheatgrass can help to restore blood alkaline levels and therefore balance pH, which is defined as potential of hydrogen and represents the ratio of acid to alkaline in the body. This may help cells efficiently absorb needed vitamins and minerals and properly excrete waste.
Pleurisy Root is an important nutrional supplement for men and women, as it is said to relieve chest pain and ease breathing problems. The herb is often used as an expectorant helping to force phlegm from bronchial and nasal passages.

I actually heard about this place from the guy who runs 7th Hill Pizza, Anthony Pilla. When my roommate and I went, we asked him if he knew of any pizza places that were a little closer to us (ie VA) and he recommended Pupatella. Fast forward 8 months and I am finally giving this place a try. I actually tried to go last February, but they are closed on Sunday and Monday-important to note.
I decided to try the Arancini with Eggplant (fried risotto balls) $4 forgetting that my friend is allergic to eggplant. We just scraped out the middle and she ate the outer layer with the risotto. The fried outer layer was good, as well as the eggplant and mozzarella, but I have to come to terms with the fact that I don't like risotto.

From Byter Leo, a bit of humour in advance of Funny Friday
--I got invited to a party and was told to dress to kill. Apparently a turban, beard and a backpack wasn't what they had in mind.
--After a night of drink, drugs and wild sex, Jim woke up to find himself next to a really ugly woman. That's when he realized he had made it home safely.
--Seven wheelchair athletes have been banned from the Paralympics after they tested positive for WD40.
--ITS A BOY" I shouted "A BOY, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, ITS A BOY". And with tears streaming down my face I swore I'd never visit another Thai Brothel!
--Sailing results are in, GB took gold, USA took silver and Somalia took a Middle aged couple from Weymouth
--A boy asks his granny, 'Have you seen my pills, they were labeled LSD?' Granny replies, f**k the pills, have you seen the dragons in the kitchen?
--Wife gets naked and asks hubby, 'What turns you on more, my pretty face or my sexy body?'Hubby looks her up and down and replies, 'Your sense of humor!
--The wife's back on the warpath again.
She was up for making a sex movie last night, and all I did was suggest we should hold auditions for her part.
--After both suffering from depression for a while, me and the wife were going to commit suicide yesterday. But strangely enough, once she killed herself, I started to feel a lot better.
So I thought, "Screw it, soldier on!"
--I woke up this morning at 8, and could sense something was wrong. I got downstairs and found the wife face down on the kitchen floor, not breathing! I panicked. I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered McDonald's serves breakfast until 11:30.
--The other night, my wife asked me how many women I'd slept with. I told her, "Only you. All the others kept me awake all night!"
--My missus packed my bags, and as I walked out the front door, she screamed, "I wish you a slow and painful death, you bastard!"
"Oh," I replied, "so now you want me to stay!"
--I've just installed strobe lights in the bedroom. It makes the wife look like she's moving during sex.

CHC Reaffirms Commitment to North Sea Energy Sector
Helicopter services company CHC has broken ground on a $6 million redevelopment of its Aberdeen base, reaffirming its long-term commitment to the North Sea energy sector.
The company's regional director for EMEA, Mark Abbey, was joined by the CEO of industry body Oil & Gas UK, Deirdre Michie, for the official ground-breaking ceremony. CHC's redevelopment project includes upgrades to the terminal, including improved lounges, a new operations center and hangar.
CHC's Aberdeen terminal serves several thousand workers each year as they travel to and from offshore installations in the North Sea. The company provides offshore transport on six continents and regularly serves major oil and gas firms.
Last month, CHC revealed that it had secured a new contract with Centrica to provide helicopter services in support of a forthcoming drilling program at the Fogelberg field in the Norwegian Sea.
The award followed several contract wins in 2017, including a two-year contract to support one of Australia's largest oil and gas companies, Quadrant Energy, a deal with Faroe Petroleum to support its exploration drilling program at the Brasse Field in the North Sea, and a two-year contract extension with Shell Aberdeen for services in support of their UK Continental Shelf operations.

The Henry Dearborn Middle School in Roxbury was named a "turnaround school" by BPS superintendent Carol Johnson in November 2009. Low test scores and a dilapidated building kept families away and student enrollment dropped steadily. When Dr. Johnson named Jose Duarte principal that year, she told him to prepare for it to close.
But just down the street, the congregation of Roxbury Presbyterian Church had started a campaign to help their neighbors "Dream Again." The notion was that the single thing most lacking along Warren Ave in Roxbury was the capacity to dream, to find hope. So they recruited a couple of partners — the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) and the Trinity Boston Foundation — to join with them in the adoption of two schools.
The Trinity Church congregation quickly joined in, with Lallie Lloyd, a former education funder, spearheading the formation of Trinity Public School Partners. The Dearborn School partnership expanded further to include the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and the Boston Urban Youth Foundation.
What happens when a community rallies around a school? When a "turn-around school" slated for closure all of a sudden finds itself loved and supported by a city-wide coalition of partners? There is new hope. And with hope come dreams.
Big dreams.
The Dearborn School now wants to reinvent itself as a STEM School — that's Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — for grades 6-12 in a completely renovated building with state-of-the-art laboratories.
And under the leadership of the Rev. Hurmon Hamilton, Roxbury Presbyterian Church's pastor, the coalition of community partners are committed to seeing that dream realized.
Won't you be part of that dream?

This is what the people came to see.
The Babes are of the people by the people. ;)
No wonder this world became apocalyptical in the first place!
To be fair it was mainly the nukes. Jerking off in a room full of robot parts is just a coping mechanism. ;)
But when the bombs fell, how phallic were they?
Oh! The Babes were made by a mischievous wizard post apocalypse. (Editor's note: see episode 2: Dawn of The Dong for the origin of the babes' dongs!) The bombs were probably standard issue end of world bombs. If there were any penises on them, they were drawn on there by a sneaky janitor.
Haha, I love the idea of a sneaky janitor drawing dongs on all the nukes.
We should draw that at some point for back story!
It wasn't a serious question!
The Babes didn't have their coffee yet. ;)
Oh god that last poe is hot. I can see why shhe whacked it forr 6 hours.
We thought so too!
Might be the best page yet. At the very least one of the best.
Aww yeah! It's hard to tell jokes and simultaneously do hot stuff but I think we're getting the hang of it.
I would say this comic is a great exaample of Hot comedy. The facct there dongs are almost always exposed and floopping about is the perfect example iitself.
I'd say you're definitely starting to get a handle on things.
hehehehehe thanks! Trying to walk that line between absurd comedy and sexiness.
Now everybody...have you heard...when you're in the game...stroke's the word!
Well done on getting into the popular now page.
Hey thanks! We were more excited about it than we should be! ;)
It's gettin' very Hajime Soriyama in here~
Let me guess... predominantly autosexual.
This is suddenly reminding me of a Carly Simon tune.

IPIs and weak memory orderingdevperformance May 28, 2010 8:23 PM (in response to vonti)
Hi Michael,
First, I assume that the write in the first step is a normal cacheable write. If it is, then it is not weakly ordered, but do read on! If it is a non-cacheable write then yes, you will have to use an SFENSE instruction or some other synchronization scheme.
To be safe , you could add my steps 1.1 and 2.1 below. This will insure that if the flag has been written, then the variable has also been written, again assuming all are cacheable writes.
For example:
1. CPU A writes some global variable (and the write happens to stay in the write buffer for a long time)
1.1 CPU A writes a global flag.
2. CPU A sends an IPI to CPU B
2.1 CPU B reads the global flag to verify it is set. If it is not, insert more code here [keep reading the flag, allow for a failure, etc.]
3. CPU B's IPI ISR reads the global variable.
Randy [AMD]
IPIs and weak memory orderingvonti May 28, 2010 8:55 PM (in response to devperformance)
Hi Randy
Thanks for your reply!
Just to confirm: With "non-cacheable write", do you mean writes to uncached (UC) memory or non-temporal writes? I assume the latter, because the former wouldn't really make sense.
Is this documented in the Programmer's Manual? If yes, where? I couldn't find it even after an "exhaustive search". If no, I think it would be a good thing to include in a future revision.
Best regards

It List: Monday 6/18/07
Mike Tamburo/Zanzibar Snails/Handbrake/Dust Congress(Rubber Gloves): Regular readers probably aren't surprised that we dig on Mike Tamburo's Ghosts of Marumbey, released earlier this year. It's a haunting and pretty collection of collage music stuffed with so many different kinds of sounds we don't really have time to describe. Since we're a bit short on time today, I would suggest reading this rather informative review from Pitchfork. And with Zanzibar Snails opening, it'll be a pleasantly blurry start to the week.
Bad Azz Jazz (Amsterdam)
New Thrill Parade/Doppleganger/Wildlife(1919 Hemphill): Apparently 1919 has hit some very tough times: low on funds, almost without electricity, and in need of some support. Coming out to this early show might be one way to help them out. It might also be a way to see some interesting bands. Doppleganger is the noise side project of a couple members of Koji Kondo. This looks to be one of the coolest shows 1919 has had in a while, so don't wimp out.

Alright, I am going to give you as much information about Planeta Tangerina as I possibly can, but you have to understand that the whole thing is in Portuguese (which I don't speak and hardly understand), and yes I tried translating some of it with that lovely Google translating thing, but that only gets you so far and to be completely honest, I couldn't really be bothered to work it all out because I was far too busy looking at the lovely pictures on their sites and in the end, that's what it is all about: pictures.
Planeta Tangerina is (to the best of my knowledge) a publisher of illustrated (children's) books who also have a blog on which they showcase work by others. The blog posts start from the end of 2007, so there is a whole lot to discover, and boy, they have some really nice stuff on display. If you are looking for some visual inspiration or just eye-candy: visit the Tangerine Planet. I'm adding it my blogroll and to wet your appetite, here is a small selection of niceties.
To visit the blog, go to planeta-tangerina.blogspot.com and to visit the site with work of Tangerine itself go to planetatangerina.com.

The news that Funso Ojo and Andrew Crofts won't be fit in time, in addition to Neal Bishop's suspension, had certainly changed the perspective ahead of Saturday's game against Southend.
Graham Alexander has been without Ojo since the 2-0 defeat of Charlton just under a month ago, which was coincidentally the last time the Iron picked up all three points.
Bishop's red card against MK Dons secured his ineligibility for the game, whilst Crofts is not ready to play much alike Ojo.
That leaves Alexander with little choice but to bring in Devonte Redmond, whilst Levi Sutton can also play in the centre of midfield, but may be preferred in the right back role.
There is some good news for Alexander and Iron fans, though, as it seems Saturday's opponents are having similar problems in their midfield.
Ryan Leonard - who is widely seen as the main man at the Shrimpers - is suspended after picking up a red card in the 2-1 loss to Bradford last Saturday.
Michael Timlin is out with ankle ligament damage, whilst the official Shrimpers site describe Anthony Worsdworth as 'touch and go' as to whether he will be fit to play, after spending the week on the treatment table.
Speaking to Southendunited.co.uk, the boss, Phil Brown, said: "I think Michael [Timlin] shows everybody what he's got.
"He's a determined lad and in truth a lot of people would have come off when the actual incident happened, but Michael stayed on, got it strapped up at half time and stayed on for another 15 minutes of the second half. Most people would have limped out of that situation early on.
"Did it cause him anymore damage? Probably the answer is yes. But that determination is something that we need.
"Lenny's commitment in terms of his work rate is again something that will be missing but maybe it's an opportunity for one or two of the young lads to come into the fray and step up to the plate.
"We haven't seen Elvis [Bwomono] for a while and we haven't seen Dru Yearwood for a while, not even from the bench, so maybe it's an opportunity for one of them."
A run of two league games without a win may have unsettled a few nerves amongst the Iron faithful, but Brown knows his side are in for a stern test at Glanford Park.
"It's one of them situations where the league is like that. Anybody can beat anybody.
"But Scunthorpe are up there on merit, the same as Bradford last week and then it's Charlton and Shrewsbury so we're coming up against some tough teams who have been consistent.
"That's all I'm after in the second half of the season; a little bit of consistency and a little slice of lady luck." he concluded.

How to cycle safely
Here are a few tips on how to cycle safely on the roads.
Cyclists have a right to claim the lane
It may come as a surprise to most drivers but cyclists have as much right as drivers to take up the entire lane. Cyclists riding side-by-side are actually reducing the risk of having an accident; it's the safest way to cycle, particularly if there's a blind bend, a narrowing of the road, a high risk junction, pinch point or traffic lights ahead.
Cyclists should never cycle in the gutter as it gives no room for avoiding obstacles and leaves no room to fall if an accident occurs, increasing the risk of falling into the road and potentially under the wheels of a vehicle.
Filing past stationary traffic at a junction
Turning left is how most accidents occur. It's not at all illegal for cyclists to filter on the left or right of lanes but it is often difficult for motorists to spot you, especially when hidden by their blind spot. As a motorist makes a left, and as a cyclist intends to carry straight on, a collision may occur. Try to make sure that you have eye contact with motorists to reduce the risk of accidents. Also be vigilant when pulling out of a side street, or car park.
Watch out for car doors opening
Cyclists should anticipate car doors opening. If you're cycling past a car that has just come to a halt, take caution when overtaking, as someone may be about to get out of the car.

Origins: Consequences
Morning trickled through the only window in the room. Remnants of last night's raindrops bent the sun beams into rainbows that speckled the cluttered walls. Silence and stillness captured the space, apart from the deep rhythmic breaths of a sleeping boy. He lay on his stomach, tangled in a mess of tussled sheets and dangling halfway off the bed in a motionless slumber.
"Get the fuck up, lazy ass! Breakfast! Now!"
Raiko rapped his fists heavily against the other side of Hisoka's door before shouting into it, effectively shattering the peace. Abruptly torn from his much-needed slumber, Hisoka gasped and his eyes shot open as his whole body tensed. Realizing that the noise was in fact not armageddon but his hellish excuse for an "older brother," the boy buried his face into the bed and released a groan more suitable for a dying animal.
THUD! "Let's go, shit stain!"
"Shut the fuck up, dick munch or I'll rip your fucking tongue out!" He somehow managed to retort before smashing his face back into the bed. He could hear Raiko chuckle as he headed downstairs. Hisoka would have been angrier. He would have leapt out of bed and punched the turd-stick in the face. But his body couldn't respond. It felt as through he had been hit by a train and then stabbed in the temples. His head spun in a blur of emotion and pain as he struggled to gain control over his consciousness. He quickly learned that closing his eyes only made the spinning worse. That, and he needed to breathe. So he tilted his head and rested on its side, squinting through puffy eyes. The room was comfortingly messy: clothing spilling out of the closet and draped over the chair; various components, tools, wrappings, cans, and bottles were scattered across and under every surfaces. But everything was right where he left it and that's exactly where he wanted it to be. He took in a heavy sigh and closed his eyes again, trying to breath through the knot in his stomach and the swelling pain in his head.
…What the hell happened—
Before he could finish his thought, his eyes suddenly shot open once more. They were locked on an object beneath the desk that ran parallel to his bed. It was a very large, very empty bottle that was once very much filled with alcohol. It was not uncommon to see such a thing in among the rest of the junk on the teenage boy's floor. The problem was not that it was there but rather how it got there and why it was empty…
Jaw hanging open, eyes wide, brow furrowed, his expression painted disbelief as the fog of swollen fatigue that clouded his memories began to clear. He slid his hand up to his side and pressed it into the bed to aid in lifting up his torso. To his surprise, lifting his head felt more like lifting a ten ton block. He moved slowly, not once taking his eyes from the bottle as if it were a coiled snake ready to strike if he did. Then, a terrifying possibility dawned on him: he could still be here. He snapped his head to look at the other side of the bed, lungs tight with anticipation. He was alone. Beyond relieved, the boy let out a long sigh and let his head fall back onto the soft surface and close his eyes.
Wrong move. All the movement coming to an abrupt stop sent his head into a violently nauseating whirl. His stomach churned uncomfortably and his throat lurched. He shot out of bed and stumbled in a frantic mess of movement. He collapsed beside the nearest waste basket and proceeded to unload the remnants of last night's dinner and half a bottle of booze. Gasping between gags, he tried to recover whatever composure he could muster. Finally, he leaned back and let his head fall against the wall behind him. He had no choice but to relax into the overwhelming fatigue, despite his extreme discomfort.
This… sucks…
Hisoka dragged himself downstairs and into the poor excuse for a dining room looking like he had crawled out of the grave. He had managed to slip on some pants but decided to leave the shirt for later. One hand pressed on his lower back for balance as he struggled not to limp. It wasn't until he attempted to walk that he realized how sore he was. Dark bags hung like weights beneath his squinted eyes and his already pale complexion took on an inhuman tone.
Please don't ask… please don't ask…
"Hah! Well, well. Look who decided to drag his sore ass down here. Damn. Don't you look fucked." The slimy, conceded voice made Hisoka's sensitive stomach turn. Raiko was already sitting down, arm casted, face swollen and bruised. His bright blue hair, usually styled high to make him appear taller, was tussled and drooping. A platter of food and an empty tea cup sat in front of him. His smirk, his infliction, the way he was looking at him - it made Hisoka's return glare more suspicious than angry. But Raiko was probably just fucking with him, as usual. The gangster wanna-be usually didn't come home until well into the night, if he came home at all. Besides, it looked like he had gotten into one hell of a scrap last night - probably another bar brawl. Much to Hisoka's pleasure, this time it looked like he got his ass handed to him. There was no way he could've known what happened… right? Hisoka thought many things but said nothing, for fear that he might vomit on the table, and carefully sat down. Unsatisfied with the lack of response, Raiko frowned.
Mae shuffled out of the kitchen with a bright smile and a chipped clay pot full of morning tea. The apron synched around her petite waist was much too clean considering all the work she had already done. The dress beneath it was a gift from Hisoka. He had told her he bought it with the money he'd earned from his mission. In reality, he'd lifted it from one of the huffy women's garment stores in the business district. "Good morning, Hisoka," her joyful greeting lifted the boy's spirits, although he wasn't able to show it. The longer she observed him, the faster her marry expression faded. "Are you feeling alright, dear?" She asked as she poured their tea.
Before he could respond, Raiko cut in. "Oh, he's fine. He's just a little hung over." Now Hisoka's eyes were not just suspicious, they were terrified. They're sudden intensity pierced those of the injured man seated beside him. His heart skipped and his mind raced. How much did he know? And how did he know it? Mae sat down slowly, looking back and forth between them both confused and concerned. "Is that true, Hisoka?" Her tone was still soft but had dropped into a lower more serious octave. Hisoka's eyes snapped to meet hers but only for a moment before he brought his hands to his face and rubbed his eyes.
"What? No, no. I just feel like shit. I think… I think I have the flue or something." He struggled to be convincing but couldn't help but appear nervous. Adrenaline began to pump life into his weakened state. He had to find a way to keep Raiko quiet and fast. If the slime ball did know what happened, he would make sure Hisoka was thoroughly humiliated for it. And he could NOT have that, no matter what. The potential fallout would not only ruin his family life but destroy his reputation entirely. And he could kiss whatever was left of his dignity goodbye. His nerves fired like gun shots and he could feel a thin layer of sweat tickling his forehead.
Could this morning get any fucking worse?
Raiko seemed to find amusement in Hisoka's obvious cover and coughed "Bullshit!" into his tea cup after a drawn out sip. Mae flashed her son a scolding look and he covered his mouth, sarcastically apologetic. "S'cuse me," he mused. Conceit oozed from his words. "Guess I just can't help callin' it how I see it." Hisoka kept his gaze glued to the table. He couldn't look at either of them. But he could feel those heinous eyes burning wholes in him. He could hear the slick sound of those thin lips peeling into that revolting grin. He wanted nothing more than to punch it clean off of that ugly face. "And I'm lookin at a lying, little, faggot." Raiko paused after each last word and leaned closer and closer, allowing them to cut deep with a serrated blade.
Hisoka couldn't even hear Mae's interjection. He was too busy coping with the fact that his nightmare was becoming a reality right before his eyes and there was nothing he could do except hate it. There was nothing he could do except hate him. His blood boiled beneath his skin and his heart reverberated through his entire body. Color rushed back into his complexion due to the sudden onset of embarrassment, anxiety, and rage. Golden eyes, lit aflame, pierced the older boy beside him. "Shut the fuck up, dumb ass! I'm not fucking lying and I'm not hung over I… I was out training in the rain last night and I caught a damn cold or some shit. You're just fucking butt hurt cause you lost your bar fight and got the shit kicked out of your hammered ass." Desperately, he covered his tracks.
"Hisoka!-" Once again, Mae tried to interject but to no avail.
Rearing his head back, Raiko snarled. "You're so full of shit! I know you stole that sake from dad's stash! And I heard you and your faggot ass boyfriend banging around last—" Before the blue haired boy could finish, Hisoka sprang from his seat in a fit of rage, knocking the table over in the process, and tackled his older brother to the ground. "Shut up!" The blue haired coward cried out in pain as he his already beaten body hit the floor. Pinning him down, Hisoka's fist connected with Raiko's jaw and cut the cry short. One after another, the younger boy sent his fists crashing down. "You don't know shit about me you mother fucking asshole!" All the feeling that stirred inside him from the night before and the morning after burst into primal impulse. Cast over the gruesome scene in front of him was a red film of pure rage.
A small hand grabbed Hisoka's forearm, trying to prevent his next strike. Reacting on impulse, he whirled around and struck the perpetrator across the face. It wasn't until her body hit the floor had he realized what he had done. The woman who had taken Hisoka in as her own son and raised him as his mother was looking back at him with eyes filled with terror and betrayal. The pound of the door against the wall struck his ears and he whirled to see Sakata charge into the room. It would only took a moment to assess what had happened. And it would take half a moment for him to jump to the conclusion that it was all Hisoka's fault, as it always was. Before anything could be said, Hisoka took off toward his room. "What the- hey! Come here, you little shit!" Swiftly following him up the stairs, bellowing up at him, was Sakata. As the door slammed behind the boy, a flurry of paper flew from his desk and layered around the nob. He added a little more chakra and the paper stuck the door to its frame just in time to prevent Sakata from bashing it open. "You open this goddamn door right now, Hisoka!" The man screamed at him from the other side while Hisoka snatched his vest and weapons halter from the chair and slid it on. He grabbed Hebi Sendo from its knelt position against the wall and clipped into place against his back. He hesitated, glancing back at his bedroom door once more, before leaping from his window and onto the street below. He took off down the ally and disappeared into the mist.

Born Kevin Smith, Gulliver Smith appeared as a child performer in Melbourne in the early 60s, covering golden oldies from the 50s. Eventually he left this scene to concentrate on his growing love of R&B and soul, with his band the Children in 1966. Dr Kandy's Third Eye followed in 1967/8; in the vanguard of Sydney's 'flower-power' psychedelic music period, their strange performances attracted Australian press attention. A series of short-lived, but interesting bands followed, but it was with Company Caine that his lyric writing became noticed and the band, despite poor media attention and no radio airplay, remains one of the great Australian cult bands of the 70s. Both their albums are now regarded as collector's items. His solo album was well received, but it did not bring him a new audience. He moved back to Melbourne and led several more bands of variable quality which did not gather a following outside their small bohemian scene. Gulliver moved to England in 1977 and lived and worked there for many years. He returned to Australia in the late 80's and reformed Gulliver's Travels in 1989. He continues to write and perform under the slightly changed moniker of "Gullifer Smith". In 1996 he and his partner and collaborator Stephanie Hopkins released the excellent Deux Poetes album; he also co-wrote "A Touch Of Paradise" with Ross Wilson and was a hit for John Farnham. In 1980 Smith released a single on Mighty Records "Don't Keep Doin' It Duke" b/w 'Black Hole" (J.V.C.05). It was recorded in London and soon after it was withdrawn for what reason I don't know. Even though it was never released I did picked up a copy and I have seen one on EBay going for $169.00 AUD so there's a few out there it seems. I also heard that the song was about Ross Wilson or so they say. The thing that confuses me that on the back cover of the single it appears the B side is called "Dancing" and the song is about dancing but the label states that it's called "Black Hole". Sadly we lost Gulliver on November 10th, 2014 from kidney failure, in Sydney.

I finally finished this 5 x 7 inch Stampscapes scene
on glossy cardstock of unknown origin-my friend Lynette gave it to me.
Referring to Kevin Nakagawa's YouTube tutorial
I splurged and bought several Colorbox stylus tools and foam tips.
When done, I stored them in a ziplock bag as Kevin recommends.
This keeps the foam from drying out. You can clean the tips with water.
Kevin warns to hold the stylus at the very bottom so you don't break the tool.
Kevin has a great text tutorial on his stampscapes website:
I love how he shares so many tips and techiques!
I love watching Kevin create his art!
I wrote notes on this image so I would remember how I made this.
I tried to use light pressure, going one way with the foam tips
otherwise the foam will rip. Kevin shows this in the video.
I was not able to get the light "right".
Here is the framed piece that I'm giving to my son-in-law as a belated birthday gift.
Stamps: Stampscapes, Stampin' Up!, Inkadinkado (small pine trees)
Distress Inks: scattered straw, spiced marmalade, ripe persimmon, forest moss,
pine needles, faded jeans, frayed burlap, brushed corduroy

I thought it would be fun to begin this month by celebrating the 12 days of Christmas with 12 Christmas related posts.
My family grew up with a lot of Christmas traditions, one of my favorites was the advent calendar. I loved opening something every day and knowing that we were one day closer to Christmas.
This year I decided to make an advent calender for Jus. Instead of filling it with candy or knickknacks I thought I'd give him 24 reasons I love him.
To begin with I wrapped a piece of cardboard in Christmas paper.
I folded 24 shipping labels in half & decorated the front, putting the reason I love Jus on the inside.
I taped the labels to the board and now Jus can start every day with a little bit of love.

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The American situation comedy, Leave It to Beaver, is a display of gender and the family dynamic that swept the nation after World War II and the Great Depression. Nuclear families were small; most households consisted of two adults, male and female, and no more than three children. Sitcoms presented wild antics by children and wives that disturbed a quiet family life headed by an indomitable father. Gender roles in sitcoms such as Leave It to Beaver were clearly defined and the family dynamic was traditional; the father worked, the mother stayed home, and the children were content and happy.
Contrary to popular belief by the following generations, the quiet and simple American dream lived by sitcoms families never existed outside of the television studio. Television emerged in the 1950's as a dominating force. Watching television in one's own home seemed much easier than going to the movie theater. While most of society was at home watching television, movie ticket sales dropped dramatically. This was the birth of the sitcom.
People wanted to see lighthearted entertainment on television after the tumult of World War II and the Great Depression; this gave way to television families and their zany world. The 1950's is usually regarded as quiet and happy, and Leave It to Beaver "reflected back to America this calming sense of happy normalcy. " As depicted in Leave It to Beaver, Ward Cleaver worked a nine-to-five job and saw his family at night and on weekends. Fathers were the disciplinarians and controlled all financial matters in the household.
Fathers also offered sage advice to his children. June Cleaver, on the other hand, was a housewife and mother. Mothers, like the children, received a weekly allowance from their husbands and they made sure the house was clean, meals were prepared, and children were happy and content. Wally and Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver were well-adjusted children with relatively happy and content lives. Sitcom families set a national standard for families everywhere. However, a "sitcom" life was often plagued with troubles for the families who tried to achieve the perfect life.
The rise of "middle class" required the "breadwinner", usually the father, to be away on business for extended periods of time while the mother suffered troubles of her own. While June Cleaver mopped the floor wearing pearls and pumps, real women suffered not being able to sign a legally-binding contract or have a credit card in their own name. After World War II, millions of soldiers were discharged from the military. House developer William J. Levitt touted the houses he built in 1950. They were identical box-like houses.
The soldiers and their families then moved from the city to these suburbs. The neighborhoods where Levitt built his houses were orderly and identical. There were to be no fences built, laundry could only be hung on rotary racks and only during the weekdays, and lawns were to be mowed once a week. Leave It to Beaver was set in this middle-class suburbia. Their home, like other homes on the Cleaver's block, were comfortable, but modest. Television portrayed suburbia, filled with only young, white couples, most with well-adjusted children, as the perfect place to live.
Television, however, did not mention the culture and diversity that was missing. Everything was white-washed; the houses all had the same layout and everyone had the same goals and economic status. These suburban neighborhoods was the perfect setting for non-dysfunctional, happy families where the mother could lead a quiet life cooking and cleaning during the day, the father could have a warm place to come home to after a hard day at work, and the children could safely ride their bikes up and down the block with their friends.
It has been argued that living in the suburbs and having a family was patriotic. In the 1950's the United States had just entered an economic boom following World War II. Anything that had to do with bettering the United States was considered patriotic. For example, buying U. S. -made goods such as cars, refrigerators and televisions was considered helping the country by keeping Americans employed in factories, and therefore considered patriotic. Owning a house and having a family were ideals of the time. One of the most important features of the 1950's sitcom family were gender roles.
Every family featured a mother, father and various children. The mother stayed in the home, cooking and cleaning, and the father spent his day at work. Boys and girls were taught to value and excel at different things. For example, if a couple had boys, the boys were urged to concentrate on academics and sports, and if a couple had girls, the girls were groomed to take care of a home and family. In the twentieth century, women's opportunities and rights expanded. More women entered the workforce, for example, however, women were still largely responsible for keeping a tidy home.
The topic of women in the workforce was not discussed in American sitcoms of the 1950's. The only working women that were shown were single white women as teachers of African-American women as housekeepers. It has been argued that the dominant beliefs and concerns about gender pertained only to the middle-class white woman. African-American women felt that their needs, experiences and perceptions were largely ignored while the world revolved around white society. In the 1950's this was a sad reality. Leave It to Beaver was the only show of its kind to tell its stories from the point of view of a child.
(Linehan, 115) Life in the 1950's, through a child's eyes, was sweet and simple. When problems came up, they were always resolved with wise advice and a gently-learned lesson. Ward and June were completely supportive, no one ever really fought, and at the end of the day, everyone was smiling. In the Cleaver household, it seemed that June was low on the list of priorities. She was a housewife and mother who always looked her best and always had a kind word to say. She seemed genuinely happy to play the role in the home that she did. She also had some input on Wally and Beaver were disciplined.
Ward and June talked over what Wally and Beaver's punishments should be, but ultimately, it was Ward's decision, and June nodded and smiled, accepting whatever her husband said. She also never concerned herself with financial matters, and left that area of the household to Ward. Sitcoms were an exit for society. They presented humorous situations that always found a happy ending. These comedic situations often mirrored the real worries of the time. Any person watching sitcoms could enjoy the humor while relieving the stress of their everyday lives.
The Cleavers were the quintessential American family who lived the traditional American dream. Gender roles and the family dynamic were clearly defined; the woman was a housewife and mother while the man was a working husband and father, and together they had happy children and lead quiet, happy lives. This is what every American wants – happiness. Television is supposed to be an escape from reality; people could leave their possibly bleak lives for a moment and enter a world where everything works out to a happy ending. This is what Leave It to Beaver provided for its audience – simple happiness.

Spring in New England provides us with a number of amazing transformations. But there is one event that sparks excitement and wonder in anyone who is lucky enough to observe it.
During the first warm rains of spring amphibians, frogs and salamanders, migrate from their upland forest habitat to vernal pools to reproduce. Many amphibian species require both wetlands and forests to survive. They spend most of the year in the forest, hiding under logs and leaf litter. But in spring they make an epic journey to mate and lay eggs in a safe aquatic environment. Many animals will return to the place they were born to lay their eggs.
The safest and most popular place to lay eggs is in vernal pools. These are temporary wetlands which provide a fish-free environment, making it relatively safe from predation. Vernal pools appear in the spring when depressions in forests fill with melting snow and rains. Many will last throughout spring and into summer, giving amphibians enough time to hatch out of their eggs and grow enough to make their own journey into the forests.
Vernal pools are not the most reliable breeding spots. They aren't always the safe haven amphibians rely on. During especially dry springs and summers vernal pools will dry out before eggs have a chance to hatch. In this situation the depth of the vernal pool becomes very important.
However the biggest threat to vernal pools comes from human activity. These pools only appear in the spring, making it difficult to make informed decisions when it comes to development. In 2006 the state of Maine passed regulations protecting vernal pools and the animals that need them for survival. For more information about the importance and protection of vernal pools click here.
Each year LEA makes an effort to increase awareness of vernal pools and Big Night. In March we hold a Big Night "training" to get folks ready to help amphibians cross the road safely. By the beginning of April we are poised and ready to head out on the first warm rainy night and do our part. LEA will send out a message to our Yahoo Big Night Group on the day we will be going out. To join this group click here. For ten years we have had a great relationship with the local police department and they come out to help keep participants of this great event safe. This year's training will take place on Thursday, March 16 at 5:30 PM.

Redshirts by John Scalzi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"This is where it gets really crazy."
Those or similar words are spoken by more than one of the characters in this book, but they never get tired sounding because, no matter how crazy things are, they do get even more so every time.
The story is (on the surface) fairly straightforward. Andrew Dahl has been assigned to the Universal Union flagship Intrepid. It is a prime assignment, and Andrew is thrilled to be given the chance to work in the xenobiology lab on the top starship in the fleet. The excitement starts to wear thin, however, as Andrew begins to discover some disturbing things about the Intrepid. The crew seems to have an extraordinarily high rate of deadly encounters with alien life forms, the top officers, while always involved in the dangerous missions, are never harmed, and there is always a fatality, usually among the lower ranking ensigns. As Andrew digs into these anomalies, he and a few friends begin to discover some unbelievable things about the ship and crew.
Any more would run into spoiler territory, and it would be a shame to ruin an extremely entertaining read for anyone. I simply did not want to stop reading the book, and finished it in about two days.
Anyone familiar with the Star Trek universe will catch onto the reference in the title, and, in part, this is a story about those all to familiar "redshirts," but it is far more than that. The plot is clever and engaging, the action moves along at a fair pace, with only a few slower sections, and the characters are likable and well-drawn. Sci-fi fans will see some familiar types, but each one is more than a stereotype.
One of the most interesting things to me was the "three codas" that end the book. Not only do they tie the individual stories together to a complete whole, but they also address, to a point, the question of what happens after Happily Ever After? The events of a story do not only impact the main characters, but also some of the secondary people that get pulled in. And we, as readers, rarely see how the consequences impact those characters. The main story works out well, and with the three additional pieces tie things up for several others, as well. I found them to be interesting and a nice addition to the main story.
This a fun book, that most sci-fi fans will enjoy, both for the familiar concepts that support the main plot, and for the original and fun treatment of them. Very much recommended!

Answer to Question #10054 Submitted to "Ask the Experts"
Category: Nuclear Medicine Patient Issues — Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine
The following question was answered by an expert in the appropriate field:
I was diagnosed with Graves' disease and was prescribed 629 MBq of radioactive iodine to address my disease. After the 131I intake, I went into self-imposed isolation for 10 days to protect my wife and my almost two-year-old daughter.
After the 10 days, I was told by the hospital nuclear medicine staff that I could go on with my life as normal.
On the 11th, 12th, and 13th days, I spent considerable time with my family and believe that I spent about 3.5 hours watching television by or cuddling my daughter. I estimate that the average distance of her little head to my thyroid was about 15 cm. We also went to lunch and shopped as a family during these three days.
On the 14th day I decided to buy a radiation detector to check whether I was still radioactive. I was very, very frightened to see that I was still radioactive, and am very concerned about the exposure to my daughter on the 11th, 12th, and 13th days. On the 14th, day, I went into isolation again in separate quarters in my house.
- Could you please give me advice input on how dangerous was my exposure to my daughter?
- Is there any possibility of estimating how much I may have exposed her to?
- Are there noninvasive and nonnuclear ways to know how bad was the exposure?
I am very, very concerned and hope that you will answer my questions.
You have not harmed your daughter. You followed the instructions given to you and were isolated even more days than many facilities require.
Radiation detectors are very sensitive and can even detect the cosmic radiation that we are exposed to every day that we live on earth. Being able to detect it is not unusual, even two weeks later since the material that was incorporated into your thyroid will now be decaying by half approximately every eight days.
Hospitals classify the dose given to you for Graves' disease as a low dose. Studies were performed to determine when it is safe for a person treated with radioactive iodine to be around other people. The conservative assumptions that are used to determine when controls can be suspended are based on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations to not expose a family member to more than 5 mSv from a nuclear medicine treatment. That is also the total radiation dose that the fetus of a pregnant woman is legally allowed to receive if the mother continues to work in radiation areas while pregnant.
The policy at my facility is for a person who receives less than 1221 MBq to be isolated for the first four days and to avoid holding children for long periods of time for the first week after treatment. Usually more than half the amount of radioactivity leaves the body the first day. Some of the radioiodine concentrates in the thyroid and the remainder is removed in the urine. Your isolation time was greater than my hospital's directions (seven days compared to your 10 days).
It is not possible to estimate the exposure to your daughter and there are no noninvasive nor nonnuclear ways to determine her exposure. To perform an estimate, I would not want to guess how much was in your thyroid since there are so many variables that I don't know, such as, how much uptake you had, how rapidly it left your body, the initial radiation exposure reading and subsequent readings. I feel confident that she was exposed to much less than 5 mSv, especially since distance was kept for 10 days and then you isolated yourself again after you became concerned. And, as I said earlier, 5 mSv is considered a safe dose for a baby in the womb. It is certainly safe for a two year old.
I can understand your fears and concerns. However, given our many years of experience treating patients with radioiodine, I believe that no harm was done to your daughter.

Credits and incentives for the aerospace and defense industry
Credits & Incentives talk with Deloitte
"Credits & Incentives talk with Deloitte," is a monthly column by Kevin Potter of Deloitte Tax LLP, featured in the Journal of Multistate Taxation and Incentives, a Thomson Reuters publication. This column outlines some of the credits and incentives which may be available to aerospace and defense (A&D) companies including research and development (R&D) credits, employment incentives, and real estate and capital investment incentives.
Explore content
While this column has often focused on a specific credit or incentive, this month's column provides an overview of the credits and incentives available to companies in the aerospace and defense industry sector.1 A&D companies, as a part of their regular business cycle, can avail themselves of both statutory as well as discretionary incentives associated with activities such as research and development, employee hiring and training, real estate and capital asset investment, and sustainability initiatives. In addition, the recent spike in mergers and acquisitions (as noted in Exhibit 1) potentially may create additional credit and incentive opportunities related to post-merger integration efforts.
Exhibit 1. Global aerospace and defense sector mergers and acquisitions activity (2008 to 2015)
Tax incentives tied to each of the business activities noted above are used by states (and localities) to encourage companies to relocate or expand in their jurisdiction with the goal of seeking an economic improvement to the local economy. A&D companies considering, or that have engaged recently in, mergers or acquisitions may be particularly viable candidates for such incentives, as a review of existing and future locations is a regular element of the post-merger integration process. It is also worth noting that, in certain instances, large scale A&D projects may be the catalyst for a state to enact company-specific incentive legislation.
1 The A&D industry sector or A&D companies refers to companies that manufacture or provide services for defense products, such as aircraft, watercraft, weaponry, and information systems, and companies manufacturing aircraft and spacecraft. Typically, the federal government is the largest purchaser of domestic A&D products and services.

Sunglasses: Nasty Gal, Dress: SheIn, Sandals: Aquazzura
So stilettos on cobblestone is not the most ideal but if there's any pair that can take it, it's these. I've always found Aquazzura shoes are impressively comfortable — I say that having walked nine city blocks in this outfit.
My more classic favorites from the brand are these sandals and the Christy flats which now come in every color imaginable (eyeing the velvet ones). To end on a more budget-friendly note, a few of my favorite dresses recently have come from here at the cost of a few coffees instead of, I don't know, rent?

Spain midfielder Thiago Alcantara has laughed off suggestions their white kit is a jinx as they prepare to take on Italy at Euro 2016 on Monday.
UEFA has confirmed Italy will wear blue for the match at the Stade de France with Spain wearing white, the colour they wore when losing 2-1 to Italy in the 1994 World Cup quarter-final.
Spain have also suffered defeats to Portugal at the European Championship in 2004 and at the 1998 World Cup to Nigeria while wearing white, but Thiago is not worried about claims the shirt brings bad luck.
"There is no jinx in our team," said the Bayern Munich midfielder. "The white shirt is just a shirt.
"The important thing is not the colour of our shirt, it is our country."
Thiago is expecting a tight match against an Italy side that has conceded just one goal in three matches in France.
"We all know that Italy are one of the biggest teams in the world and it is very difficult to score a goal against their defensive system," Thiago said. "They have had good results and we expect a complicated match. It's always hard against Italian teams.
"It is not a question of Italy being more or less offensive. They are very good with their style."
Italy defender Andrea Barzagli, who forms an all-Juventus back three alongside Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci, conceded that style could be construed as "dirty or ugly" but the 35-year-old is adamant Antonio Conte's men can simply not defend for 90 minutes.
He said: "We have to stop them and we will try to stop them.
"We are studying Spain but individual duels will be crucial for the final result. The small details will make the difference. Our attitude will be important. We need to be focused on their offensive style of playing.
"However we also need to attack them. We cannot only defend, that would be the worst mistake.
"People talked about the favourites at these Euros but they forgot Spain. Against their skills, we will fight as we have already done.
"Probably we are ugly, dirty...but we will do all we can to beat them."
Having described Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta as "one of the best players ever", Barzagli also warned of the threat posed by Alvaro Morata, who has three goals to his name and will lead the defending champions' attack.
"In my opinion, he has more of an advantage than us," said Barzagli, who played with Morata at Juve last season. "We know Alvaro that's for sure but we are used to having him in our team.
"He knows our skills and he also knows that if he strays too close to Giorgio, he will receive a couple of kicks!"
Key Opta stats: - This will be the 35th encounter between Italy and Spain. The record is perfectly balanced so far with 10 wins each and 14 draws.- Italy's last victory against Spain in a major tournament was in the quarter-finals of the 1994 World Cup (2-1 thanks to goals from Dino and Roberto Baggio).- Italy have failed to score in three of their last four knockout games at the Euros.- Spain's starting line-up was the same in all three of their group games at Euro 2016.- Only Fernando Torres (five) and David Villa (four) have scored more goals at the Euros for Spain than 23-year-old Alvaro Morata (three).- Sergio Ramos has featured in 27 games at major tournaments, the joint-record for a Spanish outfield player alongside Fernando Torres. None of his 48 shots in the World Cup and Euros have found the back of the net.

Yale Outdoor Forklift
Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress in a typical work shift. In order to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these items are absolutely necessary. Yale reach devices are designed utilizing heavy-duty parts for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Moreover, excellent visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been designed for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points which make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points reduce the side to side motion and twisting of reach assembly during tough operations. To be able to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential damage and binding are a variety of wires and hoses. The carriage is one more vital part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
A crucial component to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast needs to be very rigid to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast has to be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
