Tacky film roller designed for cleanroom walls and floors
From £39.95
Reducing footbourne and wheeled contamination prior to entering a controlled environment is an integral part of GMP throughout the industry. As foot traffic or wheels pass over the mat surface, the adhesive locks onto the contamination and holds it for disposal. When the exposed sheet becomes soiled and non-tacky, simply peel it off to expose a fresh sheet. The Integrity® Cleanroom tacky contamination control mats are your first line of defence against particulate and bio-burden contamination.

How can I find out the size of my pond?
Paul – Scottsdale, AZ
While most of us could take a quick guess at the size of our pond many times we don't really know the true dimensions. Most products for pond treatment such as aquatic herbicides, aquatic algaecides, and pond dye are dosed based on surface acres or square footage. Being off by 30 ft. in pond measurement could mean reducing or increasing your pond size enough to make a treatment ineffective. So how should you go about getting the correct measurements of your pond?
It is important to understand that measuring your pond involves using a universal unit of measure like feet and inches. While you may know what you mean when you say the water comes up to your chin that will be interpreted differently from person to person. For measuring depth, tie a weight to some string and let it sink to the bottom of the pond, pull the string in just enough so there is no slack left. Mark the string at the surface of the water. Once you bring up your weight lay the line out on the ground and measure it with a tape measure for a more accurate reading. Take measurements in multiple areas as most ponds are not the same depth throughout. When measuring overall lengths and widths you can use a flexible tape to gather dimensions or measure your stride and pace off the dimensions. Typically one pace is around 3ft. If your pond is irregular in shape you can also use online applications like Google Earth and Bing to locate your pond and measure it from the comfort of your computer chair.
To calculate your pond size you must first figure the square footage of the pond. Multiply the length of your pond by the width to find your square footage. Let's use a 200' long by 100' wide pond as an example. 200'x 100' equals 20,000 square feet. 1 surface acre consists of 43,560 square feet. To find out how our 20,000 square foot pond measures up to 1 acre we can simply divide 20,000 by 43,560. You should end up with .45 surface acres or slightly under ½ surface acre. If your pond better represents a triangle or circle you can use the equations given below to help calculate the total surface area.
If you are unsure of the best method for measuring your pond or want a second opinion you can always contact one of our pond guys and gals toll free at 866.766.3435 or use our web calculator.

(C) The requirements covering the production and distribution of bottled drinking water and may establish requirements governing the taste, odor, appearance and other consumer acceptability parameters of drinking water;
(5) Food and drug standards, including cleanliness, proscription of additives, proscription of sale and other requirements in accordance with article seven of this chapter as are necessary to protect the health of the citizens of this state;
(6) The training and examination requirements for emergency medical service attendants and emergency medical care technician- paramedics; the designation of the health care facilities, health care services and the industries and occupations in the state that must have emergency medical service attendants and emergency medical care technician-paramedics employed and the availability, communications and equipment requirements with respect to emergency medical service attendants and to emergency medical care technician-paramedics.

(D) The secretary shall file revised emergency rules with the Secretary of State to regulate opioid treatment programs in compliance with the provisions of this section. Any opioid treatment program facility that has received a certificate of need pursuant to article two-d, of this chapter by the Health Care Authority shall be permitted to proceed to license and operate the facility.
(E) All existing opioid treatment programs shall be subject to monitoring by the secretary. All staff working or volunteering at opioid treatment programs shall complete the minimum education, reporting and safety training criteria established by the secretary. All existing opioid treatment programs shall be in compliance within one hundred eighty days of the effective date of the revised emergency rules as required herein. The revised emergency rules shall provide at a minimum:
(i) That the initial assessment prior to admission for entry into the opioid treatment program shall include an initial drug test to determine whether an individual is either opioid addicted or presently receiving methadone for an opioid addiction from another opioid treatment program.
(ii) The patient may be admitted to the opioid treatment program if there is a positive test for either opioids or methadone or there are objective symptoms of withdrawal, or both, and all other criteria set forth in the rule for admission into an opioid treatment program are met. Admission to the program may be allowed to the following groups with a high risk of relapse without the necessity of a positive test or the presence of objective symptoms: Pregnant women with a history of opioid abuse, prisoners or parolees recently released from correctional facilities, former clinic patients who have successfully completed treatment but who believe themselves to be at risk of imminent relapse and HIV patients with a history of intravenous drug use.
(iii) That within seven days of the admission of a patient, the opioid treatment program shall complete an initial assessment and an initial plan of care.

(xiii) (11) The secretary shall propose a rule for legislative approval in accordance with the provisions of article three, chapter twenty-nine-a of this code for the distribution of state aid to local health departments and basic public health services funds. The rule shall include the following provisions:
(i) Base allocation amount for each county;
(ii) Establishment and administration of an emergency fund of no more than two percent of the total annual funds of which unused amounts are to be distributed back to local boards of health at the end of each fiscal year;
(iii) A calculation of funds utilized for state support of local health departments;
(iv) Distribution of remaining funds on a per capita weighted population approach which factors coefficients for poverty, health status, population density and health department interventions for each county and a coefficient which encourages counties to merge in the provision of public health services;
(v) A hold-harmless provision to provide that each local health department receives no less in state support for a period of four years beginning in the 2009 budget year.
(vi) The Legislature finds that an emergency exists and, therefore, the secretary shall file an emergency rule to implement the provisions of this section pursuant to the provisions of section fifteen, article three, chapter twenty-nine-a of this code. The emergency rule is subject to the prior approval of the Legislative Oversight Commission on Health and Human Resources Accountability prior to filing with the Secretary of State.

Born 1979, The Netherlands
TINKEBELL. provokes by exemplifying the blind spots of modern society. She confronts a public that revels in being indignant about everything that has nothing to do with them, but at the same time is very apologetic about their own actions. She questions why millions of male chicks are brutally killed every day (often by throwing them against the walls of a barn) but she gets arrested for threatening to do the same in public. Why are people who openly discuss the lowering of the sexual age of consent treated as vile pedophiles, but are 'barely 18' websites intensely popular?
By turning her own cat into a handbag she tries to show people their own hypocrisy about the use of animals for consumption and leather production. If anything, her works form a extreme incentive for the discussion of our morals and the way society is developing.
These actions often leave her with a lot of negative feedback. From all corners of the web people have used the relative anonimity of the internet to send her the most foul deathwishes. Fascinated by the enormous anger and cruelty of these messages, she tried to find the people behind them. To her surprise these were ordinary people living ordinary lives. For these people the internet was a faceless funnel for their anger, a one-click way of justifying their indignance. Tinkebell's reaction to this flood of hatemail was publicizing a book, called 'dearest Tinkebell', in wich she identifies these anonimous criticasters. In this way she defies the awkward position of an artist on the internet. She no longer is just the reciever of all this faceless anger, but takes charge in responing to it.
If you want to be kept informed about this specific artist, please fill in the contact form here with the artists name as the message. Artist's website: www.tinkebell.com

Video Highlights from NCAA.com Liberty redshirt senior Devon Brown reached the 2,000-point mark in the final game of her career, Sunday afternoon, thanks to a determined 21-point effort. However, it was not enough for the No. 13 seed Lady Flames, who fell to No. 4 seed Purdue, 77-43, in an NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship first-round tilt at the KFC Yum! Center. Brown's contested bank shot from the right block with 1:17 to play enabled her to join Elena Kisseleva as the only Lady Flames ever to tally 2,000 career points. The Waynesboro, Va., native finished with 2,001 points. Liberty struggled to shoot the basketball as a team, though, hitting a season-low 26.3 percent (15-of-57) of its field goals on the day. The Lady Flames end the 2012-13 season at 27-7 after their 14-game winning streak was halted. Purdue, the Big Ten Tournament champion, improves to 25-8 and advances to a second-round contest against either No. 5 seed Louisville or No. 12 seed Middle Tennessee State, Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Boilermakers were keyed by the dynamic trio of Courtney Moses (21 points, five three-pointers), KK Houser (15 points, six assists) and Sam Ostarello (10 points, 17 rebounds). Purdue scored the game's first five points, on a baseline jumper by Ostarello and a triple from Houser. Liberty battled back to take a 10-9 lead when Reagan Miller's three-pointer from the right wing swished through the net at 14:56. However, the Lady Flames' only advantage lasted just five seconds, as Houser answered with a traditional three-point play. That sparked an 11-0 run by the Boilermakers. Moses scored the final seven points of the surge, including a fast break layup at the 12:03 mark which gave Purdue a double-digit lead at 20-10. The Boilermakers held Liberty to one made field goal during the final eight minutes of the half and took a 33-17 lead into the intermission when April Wilson's three-pointer connected at the halftime buzzer. Liberty's 17 first-half points were its fewest tallies in a half this season for the team, as the Lady Flames shot just 18.8 percent (6-of-32) from the field and only 42.9 percent (3-of-7) from the free throw line. Purdue's fast start was keyed by 46.2 percent (6-of-13) three-point shooting in the first half, including four triples by Moses. Moses led all players with 16 first-half points, while teammate Ostarello's 13 rebounds helped the Boilermakers record a 26-21 rebounding edge for the period. Miller and Devon Brown scored five points apiece for the Lady Flames during the first 20 minutes while Ashley Rininger collected eight boards during her first career start. After Brittany Campbell opened the second-half scoring with a fast break layup, Purdue scored nine of the next 11 points. Ostarello's uncontested layup with 17:07 to play bolstered the Boilermakers' advantage to 42-21. Liberty countered with a 6-0 run, pulling to within 42-27 on Brown's acrobatic layup at the 15:06 mark. But Purdue bounced right back with eight consecutive markers. The Boilermakers' cushion reached 50-27 on Houser's steal and layup with 12:38 remaining. Purdue's lead got as large as 35 points before the Boilermakers closed out a 77-43 triumph. The 43 points were a season low for the Lady Flames, who entered the contest averaging 72.0 ppg on the season. While Liberty struggled with its shooting, Purdue finished at 50 percent from both the field (26-of-52) and three-point range (8-of-16). The Boilermakers ended the Lady Flames' 28-game streak of holding opponents below 50 percent field goal shooting. Ostarello's work on the glass also helped Purdue finish with a 40-38 rebounding edge against the nation's No. 1-ranked team in rebound margin. Two other key stats for the Boilermakers were bench points (28-8) and fast break points (17-2). Brown, who scored 16 of her 21 points after halftime, added seven rebounds and a game-high five steals in 29 minutes of work. She finishes her career with 803 boards, ranking seventh in program history and No. 15 in Big South annals. Fellow senior Tolu Omotola chipped in seven points and six rebounds. She will leave the Lady Flames ranked No. 15 in program history for points (988) and No. 8 in rebounds (672). Liberty got solid production from redshirt freshmen Rininger and Katelyn Adams, helping offset the loss of Jasmine Gardner to injury. Rininger collected a team-high and career-high 13 boards, while Adams added six points, six rebounds and two blocks off of head coach Carey Green's bench. For Purdue, Ostarello's 17 boards (16 defensive) were the most a Boilermaker has ever grabbed in the NCAA Tournament. The double-double was her 11th of the year, and the junior also rejected four shots on the afternoon. The Boilermakers have now won 16 consecutive NCAA first-round contests.
Postgame Quotes Liberty Head Coach Carey Green "As disappointing as this particular game was to all of us, I'd like to say thank you for the opportunity to play on this level. I've got a young group of women, who are five seniors, who have led us this year and in the preseason with all of our training. I'm very proud of their efforts. It's just unfortunate that we get to this level and didn't play very well. That is the way the game sort of turns out. I feel like Purdue played very well. They played as well as they could and we didn't play as well as we could have, so we lost to a very good Purdue team. They played up to their potential. I'm very proud of this group for reaching this level. We'd have liked to gone further, that was our goal. Unfortunately poor shooting percentage is pretty simple. They doubled our shooting percentage and that's not a good opportunity for you to win.
"Well, [Devon Brown] has the heart of a lion and it's hard to find those. She is a great scorer. Obviously you wouldn't score 2,000 (points) if you weren't. I wish I had her healthy for four years but she's never been healthy. She's missed about nine or 10 games throughout her career. It's hard to replace those types of players because of her scoring ability, her desire to win and her toughness. She is a very tough player. She will certainly be missed. You don't find players like her very often. She's been the backbone to our team.
Liberty Redshirt Senior Devon Brown "It's been a blessing, up and down. But I'm really proud of the accomplishments I've made, and I'm glad I made it with these girls."
Liberty Redshirt Freshman Ashley Rininger "It's definitely great exposure, great experience, just being able to go out there and play tonight. It's definitely going to prepare us for the future. Especially, me and the rest of the younger players because not only are we used to playing at this kind of level, now we are getting this kind of exposure and we're also preparing for future NCAA Tournaments."
Purdue Head Coach Sharon Versyp "We were just real anxious to play a basketball game; it has been over two weeks. We had a game plan put in and I feel like we executed it to a tee. I thought our defense was the key and helped us set the tone early. For us to be able to have our bench come in and score 28 points was really good for us."

New York, September 6, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on the Pakistani government to ensure that there is a full investigation into the abduction and beating of a journalist for The Friday Times. Ali Chishti, who writes on national security and counter-terrorism, told CPJ and local news outlets that he was abducted and beaten on Friday, August 30, and released the next morning.
"The abduction by police and subsequent abuse of Ali Chishti must not go unpunished," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government should make every effort to bring the perpetrators to justice. Sharif should make a priority of addressing the impunity with which attacks on journalists have taken place over the years. Pakistan's record is abysmal in protecting its journalists from harassment, abduction, beatings and even death."

Date: March 24, 2011 / 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon EDT
Presenter: Steve Acker, OhioLINK
Summary: Ohio's textbook affordability initiative focuses on improving learning outcomes as well as reducing the cost of textbooks. A major component of the plan is the Ohio Digital Bookshelf Project.
In Year 1 of the Ohio Digital Bookshelf Project, five major publishers made their Introductory Psychology textbook available in digital form at a discount from print of 70%. In Year 2, the disciplines of Accounting, Biology, and Economics will be added and aggressive efforts to bring more librarians, instructional designers, and accessibility experts into the community will be undertaken.
The three strands of the Ohio Digital Bookshelf Project's "DNA" are (1) working with traditional textbook publishers, (2) engaging in open educational resources initiatives, and (3) supporting digital literacy workshops and programs for both faculty and students reaching toward "personalized learning environments."
Each of these strands is connected and will interoperate as the learning materials environment evolves over the next five years. Traditional publishers will adapt to the OER movement, which will continue to change as an alternative to current practices. Faculty and students will continue to develop "personalized learning environments" for collecting, packaging and using content to serve individualized learning needs. We will discuss all of this, and more, in this OLN webinar.

Mark Levinson No.26 preamplifier & No.20 monoblock power amplifier
Yet, though I can quite happily live with any number of loudspeakers (I have my favorites, of course), I am extremely fussy about the amplifiers that grace my system. Perhaps because it acts as a bottleneck on the signal, the quality of an amplifier or preamplifier is far more important than that of a loudspeaker when it comes to preserving or destroying the musical values of the signal. This would appear to be heresy in the US where, to judge by the letters I receive, large, complicated, expensive loudspeaker systems are often driven by relatively inexpensive, modestly performing electronics, the rationale behind this being that, to quote one correspondent, "It is the loudspeakers that produce the sound, therefore they are where the majority of the budget should be allocated."
I feel, however, that this wastes much of the money spent on loudspeakers—the amplifier will be incapable of extracting the performance from the loudspeakers that the customer has paid for. In my experience, the opposite philosophy is nearer the truth—you should always spend more on your amplification than you do on your loudspeakers. Consider the Quad 405 mentioned above. Ten years ago, in the summer of 1978, I took part in a series of blind listening tests organized for HFN/RR by Martin Colloms, in which the panel tried to distinguish by ear between two solid-state power amplifiers—a Quad 405 and a Naim NAP250—and a tube amp, a Michaelson & Austin TVA-1. The result, as so often is the case with blind testing, was inconclusive, the panel, overall, being unable to distinguish between one amplifier and another (footnote 1). (Though examining the results on an individual basis indicated that perhaps one or two listeners had, in fact, done so—at least on those tests. Whether they would do so again is open to question.)
Having been involved in the tests and seen how carefully Martin had organized them, I believed in the results. In the words of the Bob Dylan song, "I was so much older then; I'm younger than that now!" I sold the Stan Curtis-designed Lecson AP1X amplifier (footnote 2) I had been using with great enjoyment until that moment and bought the significantly cheaper Quad 405.
Now, however, though the sound was the same, the magic was gone. Changing loudspeakers, from Gale GS401s to Rogers LS3/5As, then to old Quads, changed the sound but didn't bring back the depth of musical enjoyment. Listening to records started to play less of a role in my life—until I replaced the 405 with a TVA-10 tube amplifier two years later.
The lesson was duly learned. Whether or not they can be told apart under blind conditions, I am now very fussy about the amplifiers I use.
Mark Levinson No.26
The No.26 is the first Mark Levinson preamplifier to be designed by Madrigal Audio Laboratories. Only the third wholly new component to come from ML since the company was taken over by Madrigal, the No.26 was launched at the 1988 WCES and consists of a neat, black-finished preamplifier chassis with a remote power supply, connected via a lead with 9-pin connectors on each end. The power supply must be placed away from the preamp chassis, or, if it must be next to it, to its right, away from the phono circuitry. The preamp chassis has a sculptured, black anodized, 3/8"-thick front panel, with the labeling inset in white in traditional Mark Levinson style. Milled circular counterbores recess all the knobs. The main controls, level and input select, utilize the regular ML-style flanged knobs and occupy the center of the faceplate. To their left and right are triads of smaller knobs, to control the subsidiary functions.
Footnote 1: HFN/RR, November 1978, p.114.—John Atkinson
Footnote 2: The Lecson equipment was one the few examples of the maxim: "If it looks good, it will sound good."—John Atkinson

Post subject: July is a BISI month
Hello BBI website fans,
BISI has been out and about with huge success! We would first like to thank everyone who came to Gibson Park Saturday, July 15, 2006. There were over 25 volunteers who helped with the cleanup. This was the most volunteers yet! The park looks great and is ready for phase 2.
BISI would also like to report that the BISI Barrels have successfully caputured 350 gallons of garbage since July 2 at the Island campsites. We are very pleased with the responsible use of these barrels and hope that you all continue to consume responsibly.
We would also like to remind you all that submissions for the August BISI Review are due by Monday, July 24, 2006. Submission topics are completely open, yet must be related to BBI. Please share your voice with us.
One last issue... one of the BISI cats is missing. His name is Brody and he is a very large, long hair gray male cat. He is super friendly and greatly missed by his sister cat Smoki and doggy brothers Tank and Giovanni. He is an outdoor cat but has been out and about from 6 days. If you happen to see him please give us a call 517-896-1843. He went missing 7/13 from the BISI cottage, 2 miles east of the twp dock, before the Tavern.
Have a wonderful day and stay BISI!

It's wonderful to see that so many people on BBI were willing to roll up their sleeves and pitch in for the volunteer clean-up day at Gibson Park. Also, thank you BISI for providing a forum to discuss issues of environmental sustainability on our island, and an interesting newsletter to boot.

Whatever happened at the state of the township meeting?
Did they talk about green belts?
Is Barb really putting in a trailer park at the bar?
It appears that the BISI effort has helped alot with cleaning up roadside trash. The north shore campsites look much better. Any talk about campsite fees to cover placement of toilet facilities out there?
Thanks for your efforts.

When I was over at the bar last week they installed three hook-ups. There was one trailer already. I don't know how many more are expected. I guess that it's coming up before the planning commission soon.

What's meant by "temporary"?
I'm always amused by the logic that transients should "save a buck", while I pay full taxes.
Whatever happened to the idea of putting a bar, marina, and motel units down at the township dock? I thought zoning was limiting that sort of activity to the area west of Hoffman's.

If you want to put a bar or marina down by the dock then buy the properity and do it. As far as the bar goes now it was there for longer then most of you have even heard of the island. The three rentals has been there for many years also until last fall they were pulled out. I don't see a problem on renting hookups for travel trailers. Its been comercial longer then any business on the island.

How about a bar per mile along the main road east to west end? For some, that might make a long drive home? or a short one?
Somone from the Spray Camp, (Ron P. or Biff?) told me the BBI Tavern was built in the late 40s, early 50s shortly after the spray camp was built. This would have been shortly after the lots on Rocky Road were subdivided as Orchard sub.
Nice to have the tavern back open again. Barb has done an awesome job revitalizing it. It was just not the same when it was shut down. A social gathering spot, as it has always been.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

I think it was more like the 60's that the bar was built ... all I know is my grandma calkins was against it ...
we did not get electic on the island until 1964 . I know that they were putting it in that year ..... so maybe he was not up and running until 1965 ???
(Edit) I'll find out when the bar was built. (Conis)

I'm not sure when it was built - I came up the first time in 1970 and it had already been sold to Andy by then - the spray camp was built in either 1957 or 1958 and I thought the bar was already there - But just guessing - I could check with Biff - It was his brother -in-law that built it and they helped stake it out - After they built the bar, they found out that they had built it partially on another lot and Ray Anderson (owner) had to buy another lot, or a part of one!! I'm sure there wasn't any drinking going on when it was staked out!!!

I'm pretty sure Andy and Opal had it by the late '60s. We didn't come to BBI until 1973, but I seem to recall Opal telling us they'd bought it in '67 or '68. I could be wrong; it's been a long time.

Laser Particle Acceleration / Institute for Radiation Physics
The experimental and theoretical investigation of the interaction of light with matter in the relativistic intensity regime represents the key activity of the group. The focus lies on the development of advanced compact and brilliant sources of energetic particle beams and on potential applications, e.g., in the field of radiation oncology. In connection with the radiation source ELBE accelerator physics as well as the realization of optical undulators provides challenging goals.
For this purpose the division operates within the frame of the ELBE center for high power radiation sources the dual beam 150 Terawatt / Petawatt Ti:Sapphire laser Draco (Dresden laser acceleration source). Its only 30 fs long pulses can be individually guided into two separate experimental areas where they are used either alone, combined, or in combination with the electron pulses of the radiation source ELBE. To be able to make use of of highest laser power and energy simultaneously in the future, we further push the development of the directly diode laser pumped PW laser Penelope (Petawatt energy efficient laser for optical plasma experiments).
Due to their interdisciplinary character, these tasks are organized within the research fields Health (cancer research) and Matter (matter and technologies, from matter to materials and life) of the Helmholtz association. External users can presently access the high power laser infrastructure through collaborative projects.

While the Middle East is brimming with uncertainty, one thing is for sure: If either Israel of the U.S. gets into armed hostilities with Iran, Israeli stocks will take a tumble.
123 Israeli stocks trade on U.S. exchanges, and about 50 of them actively so. A few of these look mildly attractive to me at current prices -- but, if they lurch downward, these stocks will become bargains for longer-term investors.
One that intrigues me is SodaStream (SODA), which makes devices that allow people to turn ordinary tap water into carbonated water at home. I have one, and I find the bubbly water refreshing and cheap, as compared with store-bought soda.
SodaStream, based in Lod, Israel, has increased its earnings each year since 2008. (It went public in 2010.) Analysts are looking for earnings to rise 47% for 2012 and 25% next year.
At about $36, the stock sells for 18x earnings -- which seems fair, but doesn't excite me. If the stock got knocked down to below $30, I would be much more interested.
By far the most sizable Israeli name is Teva (TEVA), the world's largest generic drugmaker. The company takes in about $20 billion in annual sales, and earnings have been growing at better than a 20% clip in recent years.
I figure the growth rate will slow down to 15% as the company matures further, especially since board chairman Philip Frost has said Teva will pursue fewer large acquisitions in the next few years.
Teva stock currently sells for 16x earnings, and I consider it fairly valued at that level. At 13x earnings or less, I would deem it a bargain. If Teva should drop to $31.85 or less during any Iran hostilities, I believe that would be an excellent buy point.
A riskier play would be Formula Systems (FORTY), a small software company whose sales and earnings have been on an upswing lately. The stock trades below book value, and at 10x earnings.
The problem is that these American depositary receipts don't trade every day. So far in November, they've seen three days without trades. If adverse developments arise that threaten Formula Systems, the stock will be hard to unload.
For someone with some speculative blood in his or her veins, I think Formula Systems could be a winning purchase. In an Iran-conflict situation, I would look to scoop up this ADR, now a $15, at $12.50 or less.

Use colour strategically. Colour in forms should be used with care - but used well it can really aid form completion and navigation. In general, yellow, for example, is a colour to avoid as much as possible - text set in yellow on a typical light background can be very hard to read - and people can find yellow aggressive.
Make structure clear, and provide navigation to reinforce it. Your form will be divisible into sections so think about the broad groups of questions being asked. Whatever your groups of questions are, make sure they follow the right order and give the groups clear section names.

No advertisements or logos are allowed in the Olympics, yet big-time sponsor BMW gets to hustle Minis all through the throwing events with their R/C retriever cars. The Olympic Committee claims this isn't advertising, which is total bullshit.
Many argue that the German-designed, German owned BMW Mini isn't sufficiently British to qualify as "an incredibly known, globally, British icon," which would make them exempt from Rule 50 in the Olympic Charter, which says:
No form of advertising or other publicity shall be allowed in and above the stadia, venues and other competition areas which are considered as part of the Olympic sites. Commercial installations and advertising signs shall not be allowed in the stadia, venues or other sports grounds.
In a press conference, the International Olympic Committee's director of TV and marketing services Timo Lumme denied there's any advertising going on.
Yes, [BMW] happens to be the official partner of the London Games but there is no commercial delivery... The Mini is an incredibly known globally, British icon. Again Rule 50 compliant. No logos.
Even though there are no Mini logos on the R/C retrievers, it's absolutely clear that these new, German-owned Minis constitute advertising.
We, however, don't see a better, British alternative for the retrievers. The London Olympics could use Land Rovers or Jaguars, but they're owned by Indians. They could use Aston Martins, but they're owned by Dubai businessmen, and Rolls Royce and Bentley are just as German as Mini. There's the MG, but they're Chinese. Maybe the Brits shouldn't have sold off their entire car industry.
Either the Olympics go with little wooden Morgans, or just stick with the Bavarian Minis that everyone knows and likes.

More than 100 area residents and dignitaries turned out for the Chestnut Hill Community Association Annual meeting on April 20. Held at the Chestnut Hill Presbyterian Church, attendees were treated to community spirit in form of appetizers donated by Tavern on the Hill, drinks courtesy of Brewer's Outlet, and dinner catered by Top of the Hill Café and served by volunteers from Teenagers, Inc.
Jane Golden, executive director of the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, entertained and inspired the audience with images of its work and humorous stories about working with graffiti artists with nicknames like Knife, Pez and Tran.
"I befriended these kids," she said, "invited them into my home to look at art books, and the next day I woke up to find "Cool Jane" tagged in several prominent locations around the city. I said to Tran, 'you could have just thanked me,'" as the audience laughed in amusement. "We cleaned things up before I got fired."
Golden, who has been with the program since its inception in 1984, said at some point along the way she realized the program was not about art.
"The light went on, and I had an epiphany and realized it's not about the art – it's about social change," she said. "Art can have a catalytic impact on a community in the form of change."
She noted that of the 3,558 indoor and outdoor murals throughout the city, only a half dozen have been defaced.
"Respecting the process, collaboration and community involvement are the keys to making this work," she added. "I've seen it and I believe in it."
During the question and answer segment, Golden was asked what the holdup has been with painting a mural on the train trestle near the Trolley Car Diner.
"We made headway several years ago, and it came to a halt with PECO," she said. "I'm willing to revisit it and am committed to meeting with you within the next two weeks to try to get it moving again."
Following Golden's presentation, Patricia Cove, who has overseen the Community Awards Committee for the past five years, talked of being honored to have been part of the process.
Cove then introduced Sister Carol Jean Vale, SSJ, president of Chestnut Hill College. Vale, a past recipient of the Chestnut Hill Award, took to the podium to introduce this year's recipient, Lawrence D. McEwen. McEwen was cited for his work on the Land Use Planning and Zoning (LUPZ) Committee in making Sugarloaf a part of Chestnut Hill College.
"I think Chestnut Hill is a place that people gravitate to by choice," McEwen said. "We must all try to remember the heart of a disagreement and bring together our basic commonality. There is never a lack of interest or participation in this community and that's a good thing."
Jane Piotrowski, vice president for Social Division, and a past recipient of the Meritorious Service Award, introduced winner Marilyn Paucker, citing her efforts as president of the board of the Chestnut Hill Center for Enrichment (CHCE).
Paucker talked about the tumultuous year the CHCE has experienced.
"It's been a wild ride and there have been plenty of bumps along the road," she said. "We were forced to vacate our home on Crittenden, and, thanks to the generosity of Richard Snowden, we were able to find a new home on the Avenue. The next bump was the vote in December to close the center due to finances. But then three angels came through and we were in business again before we closed. We are alive, and stronger and better than ever."
She talked about the Design Showcase the center is planning and that the center has "a satellite location here at the Center on the Hill." Imagine that," she added.
Paucker accepted the award on behalf of the angels and CHCE executive director Mary Zell and her assistant, Sue Davis. She thanked her family for attending and she thanked her Chestnut Hill family for its continued support.
Finally, Paula Riley, a past recipient of the Distinguished Service Award, introduced the incoming recipient, James A. Black, Jr. Black, who lives at the Hill House, has made it his mission to clean up and take care of trees and trash within a six-block walk of his home.
"I walk and I see what needs to be done on the R7 and R8 lines and in the neighborhood," Black said. "I have removed many killer vines and worked with city agencies and SEPTA to address these issues. I've gotten and given a good steer, and I'm honored to have received this award."
Next up was Larry Hochberger, associate publisher of the Local, who talked about it being a "turnaround year for the Local and its website." He noted the addition of a daily e-newsletter and a host of new web pages for comments, shoppers and community problems.
"It's a newspaper that half the people swear by and half the people swear at," he said as the audience nodded, laughed and clapped in agreement.
He noted a variety of awards the Local has received for its print and online version. "These awards were received over newspapers with much larger circulations," he said. "We have established relationships with high schools and colleges. They are learning from us and we are learning from the students."
He noted that there is a 'spirited debate' going on right now at the Local and newsrooms across the country over how much information to give away online.
"The Local and thelocal.com belong to you, so speak up and let us know what you think," he added.
Jean Hemphill, president of the Chestnut Hill Community Fund, gave the State of the CHCA Finances report.
"Our goal was $105,000 and we came close to $100,000," Hemphill said. "We allocated 23 grants to community groups, including Teenagers Inc. The money can't buy the programs – they have to be run by volunteers. But we can help with supplies and support and that is what we look for in giving out the grants."
Tolis Vardakis, past president of CHCA filled in as emcee for current CHCA president Walter Sullivan, who was unable to attend.
Vardakis suggested that individuals go to www.chestnuthill.org for a full report on the CHCA finances and list of incoming officers and directors.

Sidney Powell, Attorney & Author of LICENSED TO LIE: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice | licensedtolie.com
Since at least July 2016, the upper echelon of the FBI and the Department of Justice began a stealth operation—with the complicity if not instigation of President Obama—to taint and destroy Candidate Trump with a concocted "Russia collusion" narrative.
Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, has been running a little-watched parallel investigation that is already producing results—when he is not manipulated or overborn by Robert Mueller.
His name is not familiar to most Americans, but Mr. Horowitz has played an important role since President Obama named him Inspector General (IG) for the Department of Justice in 2012.
Congress mandated the position of IG for every major federal agency. The 72 IGs work on behalf of the taxpayers as independent watchdogs over their respective agencies.
[the_ad id="33092″]
If you think the IG position is not important, remember this: Remarkably, President Obama did not appoint a permanent one for the State Department during Mrs. Clinton's entire tenure. When John Kerry took over as Secretary of State, the newly appointed IG found and disclosed that Mrs. Clinton used an illegal secret server, and they immediately identified classified material in the first random sample of only 40 documents.
Mr. Horowitz already deserves kudos for trying to do his job at the Justice Department and obtain information from the administration that appointed him. Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch stymied his efforts at every turn. Their defiance of his Congressionally-mandated duties was so egregious he and 46 other IGs wrote a letter to Congress complaining of the Obama administration's obstruction.
So much for Mr. Obama's claim of having "the most transparent administration ever."
Sally Yates, who was the Number Two person at DOJ, blocked Mr. Horowitz from oversight of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice. Notably, that is the division that worked with the FBI on the Steele dossier and the FISA "warrant" to create the "Russia collusion" pack of lies—and who knows what else.
Since President Trump's inauguration, however, Mr. Horowitz has been somewhat more successful in obtaining information. For almost a year, he has been investigating how Mr. Comey, the FBI and Department of Justice handled the issue of Mrs. Clinton's emails and matters that may be related to that.
Meanwhile, within the intelligence community, Admiral Mike Rogers, director of the National Security Agency [NSA], discovered so many violations of the surveillance program that he had to make significant changes and report the problems to Congress. Mr. Horowitz has been following up on those, and he may very well report pervasive and systematic abuses of that extraordinary power by the elite of the Obama FBI and DOJ.
Mr. Horowitz discovered the 10,000 text messages between now infamous FBI operatives Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Ms. Page was an FBI/DOJ attorney serving as a special assistant to Deputy FBI Director Andrew "Memory-Impaired" McCabe, as well as mistress to Counter-Intelligence Agent Peter Strzok. Many of these players—Page, Strzok, McCabe, FBI General Counsel Baker and Mary Jacoby, the wife of Fusion GPS's Glenn Simpson—visited the White House throughout the time they were cooking up the "Russia-collusion" concoction.
Mr. Strzok was at the epicenter of the farce of an "investigation" of Mrs. Clinton for her blatant obstruction of justice and violations of 18 U.S.C. Section 793 in her transmission of classified information through her unsecured server with President Obama's blessing. Mr. Strzok rewrote Director Comey's remarks to remove language that effectively indicted Mrs. Clinton under that very statute. Mr. Strzok ambush-interviewed General Michael Flynn shortly after the Inauguration, and Mr. Mueller conveniently chose Mr. Strzok to lead his investigators.
The few text messages revealed to the public so far make clear not only Strzok's and Page's vile disdain for candidate Donald Trump, but evidence their outright conspiracy to leak information to the press to foster the Russia collusion narrative, concoct the Steele dossier, obtain the FISA "warrant," and create the stench of an investigation—all to impede Donald Trump's election. If we ever get all of the evidence and truth, it will probably reveal that their "insurance policy"—if Mr. Trump was elected—began with the "collusion" concoction and built the groundwork for the appointment of a special prosecutor if Mr. Comey were to be fired.
Mr. Horowitz's discovery of the Strzok-Page message-menage-a-trois so far has resulted in the secret removal of Agent Strzok from Mr. Mueller's task force and now his reassignment within the FBI. The shocking disclosures have also prompted Ms. Page's return to DOJ, FBI Deputy Director McCabe's decision to retire in March, and longtime James Comey friend and colleague FBI General Counsel James Baker's reassignment.
We should also thank Mr. Horowitz for the demotion of Department of Justice Deputy Assistant Attorney General Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie worked on the Steele dossier with Fusion GPS. Mr. Ohr met secretly with them, and his "fingerprints" are likely all over the FISA applications to conduct surveillance on the Trump campaign based on contrived "evidence".
These changes are a start toward draining the swamp—but nowhere near enough. Director Wray should have fired Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe and James Baker already, and Attorney General Sessions should have fired Bruce Ohr and Lisa Page. Conduct like theirs has no place in any Department—much less one purporting to represent Justice.
Has Mr. Horowitz found any evidence Sally Yates and Loretta Lynch were also complicit? That would explain why Ms. Yates barred him access to a National Security Division that was scheming with the FBI.
Who else in the Department of Justice and the FBI were conspiring with them to try to prevent President Trump's election and then create a scenario or manufacture evidence to promote his impeachment? What about the head of the National Security Division within DOJ—John Carlin? What role did he play in all of this? And what about the FBI's Counter-Intelligence Chief—Bill Priestap, whom Comey blamed for his own failure to make the legally required report to Congress of the FBI's illicit FISA-related activities.
Mr. Horowitz may not have all of the answers. He is stymied in many ways by Mueller's investigation, and it is likely there is still more evidence buried deep.
As I said on Hannity weeks ago, expect to see that we are not talking about "mission creep" by FBI, Department of Justice, Special Counsel Mueller and his task force; rather, the real problem is there are "creeps on a mission" to destroy the President. Stay tuned for more when Horowitz completes his report and testifies before Congress.
