Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority
Controls Over Overtime
Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) provides public transportation services in Erie and Niagara Counties. We audited NFTA's management and control of overtime, and found that it was generally effective. We found that NFTA had taken a number of actions to improve employee work schedules, reduce absenteeism and prevent overtime abuses, and as a result, made significant reductions in its overtime costs. We did identify the need for improvements in management controls over the overtime incurred by the NFTA's Transit Police, but included our findings in a separate audit report addressing those issues.

A research conducted by German companies shows that the US is a high-risk place for data theft, second only to China.
Ernst & Young carried out a survey of 400 companies in July, it found out that 26 percent of German security professionals, IT and senior managers felt that US was a highly risky country when it comes to data theft and Industrial espionage. These figures were just 6 percent two years back. China was still a high-risk company as responded by 28 percent. Russia stands at third place, as just 12 percent respondents consider it as risky place data theft.
Head of Forensic Technology & Discovery Services at EY, Bodo Meseke said that German companies had a misconception that attacks were most likely to come from Russia or China, but they need to realize that very extensive monitoring measures are carried out by Western intelligence agencies.
26 percent of respondents were worried about this sort of data theft coming from a foreign competitor, with 17 percent concerned about state agencies and secret services from abroad. 16 percent of people were concerned about domestic competitors and 9 percent were worried about their own employees.
The survey was conducted to study attitudes towards the risk of data theft and Industrial espionage. 86% of managers are confident that their company would not become a victim. They are confident about their security measures including firewalls and secure password policies, though these security measures are easy to break for skilled hackers.
Meseke explained "When it comes to their own safety, the companies are, unfortunately, often lulled into false sense of security,"
"A professional data thief can circumvent a password. It's important for companies to make it more difficult for would-be data thieves with things like intrusion detection systems and beefed up security departments so that they look for another target." he added further.
Alertsec strengthens security
Alertsec has created a web based encryption service that radically simplifies deployment and management of PC encryption by using industry leading Check Point Full Disk Encryption (former Pointsec) software.
Organizations, especially corporate giants, have to have an information security policy in place that proves they have taken necessary steps and measures to safeguard the information they gathered. If these policies are not adhered to, the regulators may prosecute.
Alertsec Xpress is used by organizations that have recognized the need to protect their information. Customers range from single-user sole traders and consultants to multinational companies with a large number of offices around the globe. Over 4 million users worldwide use Alertsec Xpress's Check Point Full Disk Encryption.

DAVID H. BROWN, PLAINTIFF,v.UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Hon. Thomas J. Whelan United States District Judge
On July 6, 2009, Plaintiff David H. Brown commenced this action claiming depravation of property without due process of law, and requesting a writ of mandamus compelling Defendant United States of America to return seized property. On February 26, 2010, Defendant filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(c). (Doc. 13.)
The Court decides the matter on the papers submitted without oral argument. See Civil Local Rule 7.1(d.1). For the reasons outlined below, the Court GRANT the motion for judgment on the pleadings.
On January 21, 2009, Plaintiff returned to the United States from Mexico with a cooler containing 26 5mg vials of Humatrope, an FDA approved human growth hormone. (Compl. [Doc. 1*fn1 ], 2:9) In response to an inquiry by a border agent at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, Plaintiff disclosed the Humatrope and provided a valid prescription written by a U.S. doctor. (Id.) United States Customs and Border Protection ("USCBP") determined Plaintiff was in violation of federal law and subsequently seized the Humatrope, as well as Plaintiff's 2004 Jeep Cherokee pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1497, Penalties for Failure to Declare; and 19 U.S.C. § 1595, Searches and Seizures. (Id. at 2:20; see also Answer [Doc. 3], 2:8.)
Shortly thereafter, Plaintiff waived his right to seek administrative review and requested that USCBP promptly refer his case to the U.S. Attorney for institution of judicial proceedings as required by 19 C.F.R. § 162.31 (2010). (Opp. to MFJ [Doc. 15], 3:22.) Plaintiff alleges that, Defendant has taken no such action, and provided no explanation for the delay. (Compl. at 3:6.) On July 6, 2009, Plaintiff filed this lawsuit alleging depravation of property without due process of law, and requesting a writ of mandamus to compel the Defendant to return the seized property. On February 26, 2010, Defendant filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings.
"After the pleadings are closed but within such time as not to delay the trial, any party may move for judgment on the pleadings." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c). Judgment on the pleadings is proper when, taking all the allegations in the pleadings as true, the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fajardo v. County of Los Angeles, 179 F.3d 698, 699 (9th Cir. 1999). A district court may grant judgment to a defendant only when it is "beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." Enron Oil Trading & Transp. Co. V. Walbrook Ins. Co., 132 F.3d 526, 529 (9th Cir. 1997) (citations omitted).
Defendant argues that sovereign immunity shields the United States from Plaintiff's constitutional tort claim and, therefore, Defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The Court agrees.
The Supreme Court has long held that the United States may not be sued without its consent, and the existence of consent is a prerequisite for jurisdiction. United States v. Mitchell, 463 U.S. 206, 212 (1983); see also United States v. Sherwood, 312 U.S. 584, 586 (1941). Absent a waiver, sovereign immunity "shields the Federal Government and its agencies from suit." F.D.I.C. v. Meyer, 510 U.S. 471, 475 (1994). Any waiver must be "unequivocally expressed" and any limitations upon the waiver must be "strictly observed and exceptions thereto are not to be implied." Lehman v. Nakshian, 453 U.S. 156, 160 (1981).
In the present case, Plaintiff has named only the United States as Defendant, and has failed to name any individual actors acting in their official capacity. Because Plaintiff has not identified an "unequivocal" waiver by the United States, Plaintiff's constitutional tort claim against the United States for deprivation of property without due process are currently bared by Defendant's sovereign immunity.
In light of the foregoing, the Court GRANTS the motion for judgment on the ...

A fresh coconut, dismembered violently then grated to liberate 4 table spoons of flesh.
4 table spoons cocoa powder
4 table spoons coconut oil* heated as necessary to make it liquid
Sugar to taste - we used 1 1/2 tablespoons of dark muscovado**
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix the cocoa powder into the coconut oil until well blended, then add the rest of the ingredients (see note on sugar below) and mix well.
Scrape into a suitable container, I used a square bowl lined with cling film, and refridgerate. After about ten minutes take it out and score lines in it, so that later it will be easier to break.
When it is hard, break up and enjoy!
**add the sugar bit my bit, so you don't make it too sweet. It is great for little people to see how much sugar really goes into chocolate. Pickle remarked on now understanding why chocolate is not good for her - not that it stopped her from loving the results.
If you don't have muscovado don't worry. You can use Demerara but blitz it with a blender to a fine powder as otherwise it won't mix in so well.
* coconut oil seems to be a new wonder ingredient. Pull it through your teeth for virtual immortality, cleanse your face with it or just cook with it. Many websites seem devoted entirely to the joys of it. Either way, if you buy a pot you can probably find a use for it before it goes off.

NOPE. Sorry, we're closed. We're not going to serve you today. We're done putting your needs first. Go elsewhere for your espresso, light lunch, or cream tea. Nothing to see here. No cakes in the back either. We will not bake. Not today. We're going to sit, eat, and drink what we want, when we want, and it likely won't be a cream tea. No offense meant. We're sure you're lovely. Hope to meet you some other day. We'll shower you with attention then, but not now. Try the Life Drawing Group. It sounds nice. Maybe we'll go along with you and draw the something we like the way we see it.

Good Governance and Role of Public Servant
1. Introduction
2. Definition of Good Governance
3. Characteristics of Good Governance
4. Importance of Good Governance
5. Good Governance in Pakistan
6. Public Servant and its role for Good Governance
7. Conclusion
Governance is not a new concept. It is, as old as, human civilization. Governance has various forms and manifestations according to varied and diversified needs and gigantic challenges with ever changing circumstances. For example, accountability, justice, law and order, poverty alleviation, judicious allocation of funds and distribution of resources, reducing economic disparities and inequalities, provision of education, health facilities and other subsistence amenities. Whereas,Good Governance is somewhat relatively new conceptmaking itself pervasively deep rooted and indispensable at comity of nations. World is clutched in, with enormous problems and emerging challenges of dramatic changes of global weather phenomenon and world politics, increasing food security crises, recent famines in Horns Of Africa, hurricanes, tornadoes, torrential rains and flash floods, and security of peoples" and properties is at the verge of risk due to increasing extremist fascism and Islamists radicalization of societies in Europe and East respectively. "Good Governance,therefore, is a process of making decisions and implementing decisions made, properly and effectively." Various state organization and agencies are responsible for Good Governance. Government,being more powerful structure, is primarily responsible for governance. Balanced and conducive working relationship between Government and bureaucracy is crucial factor for Good Governance. Any fracture in that correlation would bring repercussions to an unbearable extent. New emerging economies, now are concentrating on Good Governance rather than on industrial growth. Good governance has different characteristics .Each characteristic has its own importance and its attainment is vital for overall Governance. Briefly these characteristics are summed as under: I. ACROSS THE BOARD ACCOUNTABILITY: Every citizenry of country should be accounted for his good or bad deeds. In former case should be appreciated and awarded and in later case punitive measures be recommended against him. Accountability should be across the board irrespective of political, social, religious and monetary affiliations from head of state or government to common citizen. II. JUDICIOUS DISTRIBUTION AND EQUITABLE SHARING OF STATE RESOURCES: Resources are scarce /scanty and wants are unlimited. In this scenario, poor and under privilege classes may be given priority to redress their grievances .And , because these classes are more susceptible and vulnerable for exploitation from other groups ,like militant elements , take advantage of such vacuums left unfilled by governments. Provincial autonomy with more powers to federating units is also healthy sign for judicious distribution and allocation of funds. III. LAW AND ORDER SITUATION: It is primary duty of government to protect peoples" lives and their properties. For this purpose ,different tiers of security forces are kept ranging from Army, paramilitary forces, levies, Frontier Constabulary, Frontier corps, Police and to Scouts. Police are responsible for maintaining intercity and intra cities law and order. IV. SPEEDY DISPENSATION OF JUSTICE: "Justice delayed is justice denied" is commonly used maxim of under developing countries. Speedy and inexpensive justice is sole responsibility of state. It should be provided at any cost. Otherwise, injustice ridden peoples will leave no stone unturned, to rebel and revolt against justice system and government functionaries as a whole. V. DISSEMINATION AND IMPARTING OF EDUCATION: Education is birth right of every individual person of state. Religion Islam has also emphasized to its believers to knowledge and education....

After spending a lot of hours in the past two weeks trying to enhance the Lua scripting experience for Domoticz I am happy to announce dzVents on GitHub. I have been truly enjoying making this enhancement and I am glad to share it to you peeps. Maybe it makes your scripting live a lot easier as well. (Note that it is still beta, so please be patient a little here, and help out perhaps).
This is the excerpt from GitHub:
dzVents (|diː ziː vɛnts| short for Domotiz Easy Events) brings Lua scripting in Domoticz to whole new level. Writing scripts for Domoticz has never been so easy. Not only can you define triggers more easily, and have full control over timer-based scripts with extensive scheduling support, dzVents presents you with an easy to use API to all necessary information in Domoticz. No longer do you have to combine all kinds of information given to you by Domoticzs in many different data tables. You don't have to construct complex commandArrays anymore. dzVents encapsulates all the Domoticz peculiarities regarding controlling and querying your devices. And on top of that, script performance has increased a lot if you have many scripts because Domoticz will fetch all device information only once for all your device scripts and timer scripts.
Let's start with an example. Let's say you have a switch that when activated, it should activate another switch but only if the room temperature is above a certain level. And when done, it should send a notification. This is how it looks like in dzVents:
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
'Room switch'
execute = function(domoticz, roomSwitch)
if (roomSwitch.state == 'On' and domoticz.devices['Living room'].temperature > 18) then
domoticz.devices['Another switch'].switchOn()
domoticz.notify('This rocks!',
'Turns out that it is getting warm here',
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
['timer'] = {'Every 10 minutes on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri'}
execute = function(domoticz)
-- check time of the day
if (domoticz.time.isDayTime and domoticz.variables['myVar'].nValue == 10) then
--activate my scene
domoticz.setScene('Evening lights', 'On')
if (domoticz.devices['My PIR'].lastUpdate.minutesAgo > 5) then
domoticz.devices['Bathroom lights'].switchOff()
This is just a sneek preview. And there is a lot more to tell so please read along on GitHub and let me know what you think. I have this running for a couple of days now without any problems so far and my event scripts have become almost trivial now and a lot smaller.
Oh, btw, people who tried my earlier versions may have to change their execute function a bit now that the domoticz object and device objects are passed along. Sorry for that.

Former President Ferdinand Marcos Monday lost his last-minute legal battle to bar the Philippine government from gaining access to documents that may detail where millions of dollars in his real estate and financial holdings are located.
A federal judge here ruled that the U.S. Customs Service may release to the Philippine government and a House subcommittee financial documents that Marcos brought to the U.S. when he fled his native country last month.
Attorneys for Marcos tried to block the release of the documents Monday in the U.S. Court of Appeals, said Thomas Ledvina, a special assistant to the U.S. Justice Department on the Marcos case, but the court declined to hear the matter.
Late in the day, the State Department was awaiting delivery of the documents by the U.S. Customs Service, which has held them while Marcos' lawyers and the new Philippine government battled in court over their disposition.
State Department officials said they were trying to arrange the electronic transfer of the documents from Hawaii, where Marcos has been since his flight from the Philippines.
The Philippine government wants the documents in order to aid a special commission it established to recover the vast sums Marcos is believed to have taken from the country.
State Department spokesman Charles Redman said department officials will "look over" the documents before turning them over to Philippine officials. The transfer is expected to take place today.
"The intent is to give the Philippine government what they asked for," Redman said.

Momentum Builds for Statewide Government Transparency as OhioCheckbook.com Surpasses 286,000 Searches in the First Eight Months
Press Release - Ohio Treasurer's Office
CLEVELAND – Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel announced partnerships with the Ohio Treasurer's office and the City of Salem and the Village of Salineville on Tuesday to place their spending online at OhioCheckbook.com. Last year, Treasurer Mandel launched OhioCheckbook.com, which sets a new national standard for government transparency and for the first time in Ohio history puts all state spending information on the internet. OhioCheckbook.com recently earned Ohio the number one ranking in the country for government transparency.
Treasurer Mandel announced the partnerships while addressing The City Club of Cleveland on Tuesday. Treasurer Mandel spoke on the importance of government transparency and how public officials and citizens can work together to shine sunlight on government spending and empower taxpayers to hold politicians accountable. The City of Salem and the Village of Salineville are the first entities in Columbiana County to partner with OhioCheckbook.com. The City of Salem is also the eighth city in Ohio and the Village of Salineville is the third village in Ohio to announce a partnership with the Treasurer's office to place their spending online.
On April 7th, Treasurer Mandel sent a letter to 18,062 local government and school officials representing 3,962 local governments throughout the state calling on them to place their checkbook level data on OhioCheckbook.com and extending an invitation to partner with his office at no cost to local governments. These local governments include cities, counties, townships, schools, library districts and other special districts.
"I believe the people of Columbiana County have a right to know how their tax money is being spent and I applaud local leaders here for partnering with the Treasurer's office to post their finances on OhioCheckbook.com," said Treasurer Mandel. "My vision is to create an army of citizen watchdogs who are empowered to hold public officials accountable."
"I am very excited to be supporting transparency in Ohio and partnering with the Treasurer of State by bringing the online Open Checkbook to the City of Salem," said Salem Auditor Betty Brothers. "OhioCheckbook.com allows the taxpayers not only the opportunity but also the ability to see exactly how their tax dollars are being spent."
"In supporting transparency in Ohio government, the Village of Salineville is excited to partner with Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel through OhioCheckbook.com," said Village of Salineville Fiscal Officer Patti Gibson. "I am looking forward to our constituents using this new resource to gain financial information."
A large coalition of statewide and local government organizations have expressed support for OhioCheckbook.com and local government transparency, including:
OhioCheckbook.com was launched on December 2, 2014, marking the first time in Ohio history when citizens could actually see every expenditure in state government. Since its launch, OhioCheckbook.com has received overwhelming support from newspapers and groups across the state and, as of August 10, 2015, there have been more than 286,000 total searches on the site.
OhioCheckbook.com displays more than $473 billion in spending over the past eight years, including more than 130 million transactions. The website includes cutting-edge features such as:
In March, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) released their annual "Following the Money 2015" report and Treasurer Mandel earned Ohio the number one transparency ranking in the country for providing online access to government spending data. Ohio was prominently featured in the report after climbing from 46th to 1st in spending transparency as a result of Treasurer Mandel's release of OhioCheckbook.com. Due to the launch of OhioCheckbook.com, Ohio received a perfect score of 100 points this year – the highest score in the history of the U.S. PIRG transparency rankings.
The Treasurer's office is partnering with OpenGov, a leading Silicon Valley government technology company, to provide residents of Ohio the ability to view and search local government expenditures in a user-friendly, digital format. "Ohio is setting the standard for financial transparency on an unprecedented scale. We are excited to partner with the Treasurer's office to bring world-class technology to communities large and small across the state," said Zachary Bookman, CEO of OpenGov.

Eurozone plan is not the full solution, says IMF
The International Monetary Fund's chief economist has called the agreement on closer European economic integration a step in the right direction, but not the whole solution.
Olivier Blanchard, speaking at a business conference in Tel Aviv, said it had though been "progress".
European leaders agreed on Friday to draft a new treaty on deeper eurozone economic integration.
The UK vetoed the plan after an opt-out on financial regulations was denied.
The IMF's Mr Blanchard said: "I'm actually more optimistic than I was a month ago, I think there has been progress."
"What happened last week is important: It's part of the solution, but it's not the solution."
He did not say what further steps were needed.
Mr Blanchard's comments were echoed by the Republic of Ireland's transport minister.
Speaking on the national broadcaster RTE, Leo Varadkar, warned that events would overtake leaders in coming weeks.
"Fiscal co-ordination is a good idea, and it's good that's happening, but it's not going to be enough to solve the problem that we have," he said.
EU leaders also agreed that eurozone states and others should provide up to 200bn euros (£171bn, $268bn) in bilateral loans to the IMF to help tackle the crisis, with 75% of the money coming from the 17 countries that use the euro.
Mr Blanchard said: "The commitment to give us 200bn euros makes a major difference in the sense that we can now go out and talk to other countries and say, 'the Europeans have given us money, can you help?'"
"Whether this gives us the whole bazooka or not, I hope so."

Deviled Eggs (Page 27)
- Date: Thursday, November 26, 2009 -- 4pm
- Location: Westerville, OH
- Kitchen: Karen and Dave's House
- Dining Companions: Matty, Dave, Karen H, Deniz, Brad, Evelyn, Eddie, etc...
- Recipe Rating: B-
I made the appetizers for Thanksgiving dinner this year and one of my selections was these deviled eggs. I started by hard-boiling some eggs. Then I peeled and halved them and carefully removed the yolks. I mashed the yolks with a fork, then stirred in mayo, mustard, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Then, the recipe claimed I would be able to put this in a pastry bag and pipe it through a star tip. Yeah, right. Star tips have tiny crevices, and unless something is completely smooth, little chunks will get stuck in those crevices and then the tip pipes ugly shapes rather than lovely stars or swirls. There was no way to get this stuff smooth enough with a fork to go through a star tip. I know. I tried. Twice. After taking the mixture out of the pastry bag the second time, and cleaning the tip the second time, I decided to put the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. That worked and I was able to pipe it after that. These deviled eggs were only ok. Aside from the textural issues I had with the filling, I found it a bit bland. You could taste the mustard a bit, but other than that it just tasted eggy. I enjoyed eating them well enough, but I wouldn't make this recipe again. There are better deviled eggs out there.
The recipe is here.
My husband and I have been married just over 6 months now, and I remember promising shortly after the wedding that I would post some pictures on my blog. Then I never did. So scattered throughout the next few weeks I am going to do a series of wedding posts, both because it was such a fun time and because we have such wonderful pictures (thank you Brian and Chris!!!). I'm going to start with the adventure I had making my own wedding cake!
My special gentleman and I settled on a less traditional wedding cake flavor: Red Velvet Cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream. I couldn't find a Red Velvet recipe that I loved, so I had to come up with my own version. This took several test batches of cake, which Mike and Teresa generously helped eat! By the week of the wedding I had my recipe perfected and I was ready to go! Two days before the wedding was Wedding Cake Day. It all started with one layer of Red Velvet cake:
My cake had 9 layers, which I first assembled as 3 smaller 3-layer cakes. Here's the first one:
I frosted each of the 3-layer cakes individually:
Mmmmm.... more frosting:
I tried at some point to convince our ring bearer Sam that frosting was delicious. He was not so convinced:
My mother, on the other hand, took no convincing. She happily ate the leftover frosting by the spoonful:
One thing that makes a wedding cake trickier than just an everyday cake it its size. A 9-layer cake can't support it's own weight, and without any additional structural support it would collapse. So, in the bottom 3-layer cake we put 3 wooden dowels. Then we rested rounds of cardboard on the wooden dowels, and the second 3-layer cake sat on that cardboard. So the weight of the upper parts of cake was supported by the dowels rather than by the bottom three layers. We repeated this process to set the third cake on the second one. Luckily, my dear friend Brian is an experimental physicist, so he helped cut and place the dowels for maximum stability:
Once the dowels were in, the second set of layers went on:
And then the third set of layers:
Then the whole thing was ready to be frosted again, this time with a thicker layer to cover up the cardboard and red velvet cake which was still peaking through:
Once it was all frosted, I melted white chocolate and piped a design onto huge freezer paper. Then I let it set just slightly. Once it was set enough it hold it's shape, but not enough that it was hard, I used the paper to transfer my design to the side of the cake:
Somewhere in there it says, "Teena and Matt" but it was very well hidden! Once the white chocolate cage was on, I just had to place the roses on top. I had piped all the roses in advance and frozen them, so I just needed to place them:
Here are all the roses, nicely in place:
At that point I was exhausted. The look on my face in this picture says it all:
But after a quick shower, I was rejuvenated. Here's me finishing up the last few details:
And here is a picture of the finished cake:
The most nerve-wracking part by far was transporting it from my apartment to the restaurant where we had the reception. It was only about a block, but no one was willing to carry it but me, for fear of dropping it, and it was so heavy that my weak little arms were shaking the whole way. My big concern was that the mirror we were using as a serving platter would break under the weight of the cake. Brian guaranteed me that was crazy, but the person who suggested the mirror serving plate idea claimed he had seen it happen, which was enough to make me paranoid! The platter held up and the cake made it in once piece. Here it is at the restaurant, shortly before it was time to eat it!
I had a pretty relaxed attitude about the cake making. I figured if it was a disaster we just wouldn't have wedding cake. But in the end, I was really happy with how it came out. And I thought it was very tasty! Plus, it cost about $50 to make, rather than the hundreds (if not thousands) that it costs to get a professional cake made. Everyone said I was crazy to make my own wedding cake, but if I could do it all over again, I would do the same thing. I was surrounded by people I love while I was making the cake: Matty, Emilee, Brian, Sam, my mom, and my dad, and I have very fond memories of that day.

Most of you know that I'm not a very crafty person, so I was really excited when Laura Ashley invited me to join my lovely North West Blogger friends to attend their Christmas craft workshop and pick up some gift wrapping ideas. I can do the basic, but has always wanted to do something special with my gifts.
I arrived a bit early and saw the lovely ladies from the Ministry of Craft preparing our workshop, which includes a table full of sewing machines! I admit I panicked a bit as it was almost 15 years ago when I last used one, but I was sure it was going to be fun. At least I knew I won't be judged!
We were split into 2 groups and I decided to get the sewing out of the way first. We were to sew a bunting present sack using Laura Ashley's lovely fabrics. My favourite was the one with the pink berries, which reminded me a bit of cherry blossom.
We were meant to sew 3 rows of bunting, but I ended up with no space for the 3rd. It's okay, I can still add a bow in the corner so never mind. But then I had to redo the top second flag because I aligned the ribbon and flag wrong, and I still didn't get it right the second time haha (hopeless). The last second flag came off as well and was hanging on its dear life as one of its corner came off. I managed to sew the rest of the sack together though, and I guess I can always use hot glue gun to glue the 2 loose bits!

After indulging in some yummy canapes and tea (really good tea and coffee from Rosylee), we continued with the second craft - Origami gift box and bow using Laura Ashley's wallpapers! I chose 2 different pattern for the lid and base, and it matches my sofa haha.
The origami gift box is so easy to make and there was no sticking involved! I'm going to remember how to make this, it'll be perfect for presents with lots of bits and bobs or presents with an awkward shape. You can even line the base with a piece of cardboard just to make it a bit stronger.
The event's timing was perfect, but I had to rush to Trafford Centre, so I couldn't finish my gift bow. Luckily they've given us instruction sheets for the bow, so now I just need to get some strong double sided tape and redo the bow so it'll look just like the one on the sample boxes!
I had an absolutely fantastic time and although there were hick-ups, I was very pleased with my creations! I was really happy to see my fellow blogger friends again as well, and there were plenty of giggles and catching ups too! After a long time without Internet, this was exactly what I needed! And Laura Ashley has also kindly given us each a lovely bag full of Christmas presents, including
a set of 6 lovely silver dinner candles
a beautiful Christmas bauble and
a fantastic cookie cutter decoration set, which comes with 3 pairs of cookie cutters for you to make Stained Glass cookies!
What more can a blogger ask for from a fantastic event??
If you are still doing last minute shopping like me, Laura Ashley is having a 50% off sale at the moment! Don't forget to pick up some lovely wallpapers and fabrics as well to get crafty and get yourself into the Christmas mood! 10 days to go!
You can see more pictures of the day, the pattern of the fabrics and wallpapers used and tutorials for the crafts we made at Laura Ashley's blog now.

"Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault."-Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
"There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful." - John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

NRG Stadium
For our Super Bowl LI resource guide, click here.
They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that's certainly true of their football stadiums. These days, the Cowboys' AT&T Stadium is the more recognized standard for football stadium enormity, but back when it first opened in 2002, Houston's NRG Stadium — then known as Reliant Stadium — took the cake.
Not that NRG Stadium should now be considered a dwarf — quite the contrary, it is still impressively big and spacious. Just one look at it looming over the old Astrodome, once considered the "Eighth Wonder of the World," should provide a pretty good indicator of its size. Once inside, it feels plush and new and quite appropriate for big events such as the Super Bowl, which it has hosted once before and will again after the 2016 season.
It is used for an annual rodeo, college football's Texas Bowl and concerts, but its primary use, of course, is as the home of the Houston Texans. When I came to visit, it was a rainy but still muggy Sunday in late September, and the home team was winless at the time, but neither of those things had dampened the crowd's mood for their team — yet another indication of how much people in Texas love their football.
- The Approach
NRG Stadium is part of a complex that includes the Astrodome, an old arena and a convention hall (all of which currently bear the name of NRG, a local energy concern). The stadium is 7-8 miles southwest of downtown Houston and much farther from the city's primary airport, George Bush Intercontinental, so budget at least an hour if your plan is to head directly from the airport to the stadium.
Most fans drive to the game — it its Texas, after all, and it is football so tailgating is a favorite activity — and the parking lot surrounding the stadium is as big and spacious as the venue itself. Season-ticket holders get first dibs at the lots closest to the facility, but for single-game attendees, parking options are plentiful in the surrounding areas — in particular, west of Kirby Drive, which runs along the west side of the stadium. For more detailed parking information, the Texans provide a parking map on their website.
A service called Parking Panda is a great tool for those looking to remove the uncertainty from the parking experience. This service enables you to find and pay for guaranteed parking spots at lots within easy walking distance of NRG Stadium. You can reserve a space ahead of time, they'll email you the parking pass, and you can drive to the game with peace of mind. Click below to check out all of their options:
There is an alternative if you're driving-averse. The Red Line on Houston's light-rail system, which has expanded greatly in recent years, runs directly from downtown to the stadium area. Get off at the Reliant Park station (one would imagine that station name will eventually be changed to NRG Park, but you never know), and be prepared for a fairly long walk to the stadium that crosses a huge parking lot and goes around the Astrodome.
For my visit, I had the good fortune of knowing a friend in town who was kind enough to take me to the game, happily navigating the traffic along Kirby Drive an hour before kickoff to drop me off within steps of the stadium. On the way back, though, I took light rail and experienced a pretty big crowd at the stadium more than an hour after game's end.
- The Build-Up
Tailgating, tailgating, tailgating. Just like nearly all NFL games, if you're in a group and you own a cooler and a grill, you're all set. If you don't want to go through that, though, there are options, starting with a number of restaurants in the surrounding area — particularly on the frontage roads along the Interstate 610 loop, which runs just south of the stadium.
If you're using light rail, you'll pass several Houston-area attractions along the way, including the Houston Zoo, the Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Natural Science, and Rice University. Buy an all-day Metro pass if you plan on taking multiple trips over the course of the day.
Or you can do what I did, which was head right inside, since it was my first visit and I figured there'd be a lot to see inside. When I did so, entering through a gate on the stadium's south side, I was greeted right away by the sight of a mariachi band performing in the plaza and a gathering crowd around it. Not to mention there was an open-air bar right there, so many of the spectators already had drink in hand. So you can expect to be plenty entertained wherever you are.
- The Ambiance
If you've been to one giant football stadium, you've been to most of them, to be honest. In the NFL, what makes a venue is usually its location or the history of the home team, and NRG Stadium really doesn't have either going for it — after all, the stadium is miles from downtown and the Texans are the NFL's newest franchise. What you do get, though, is a clean, modern facility with good sight lines just about everywhere — the upper deck doesn't stretch upward for miles and miles like a lot of comparable stadiums — and, of course, a retractable roof. NRG Stadium was the first venue in the NFL to have one, dont'cha know, and it's a handy thing to have when it's muggy or rainy, as it is a fair amount in Houston.
If you're not opposed to walking around, there's a lot to see and to sample, especially if you're looking for something to munch on. This being Houston, barbecue and Tex-Mex are very popular themes among the concession stands, and you can find a brisket sandwich or a taco of some variety on every level. Some of the more adventurous entries include stir-fry and cheesesteaks; if you're looking for more standard stadium fare, there's always hamburgers, hot dogs and Papa John's pizza.
When you take your seat, no matter where in the stadium it is, the first thing you might notice other than the field view is the two giant video screens, one behind each end zone. They're about as big as any screen you'll find in the NFL — they're wider than the width of the playing field — and when they're not displaying game info are good for other things, such as providing a giant view of J.J. Watt's face as he exhorts the crowd in a taped message. The star defensive end is very popular in Houston these days, as you can imagine, and he gets shown on the screens a lot.
I had a seat in the 500 level (see view above), and there was nothing I couldn't see. After a pregame rendition of "Deep In The Heart Of Texas" (a popular song around here, as it gets played regularly inside at least one other Houston venue), the Texans went out and beat the Buccaneers for their first victory of the season. So the party atmosphere that was present before the game lingered well after the final whistle.

You know what is Portal? Portal here doesn't mean web portal. It is puzzle games produced by Valve which need you to use your brain in order and unique way to solve part of the games.
The game primarily comprises a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and simple objects using "the handheld portal device", a device that can create inter-spatial portals between two flat planes.
The most identical in Portal games is blue portal and orange portal and its handheld portal device (to create portal).
This is a Portal cake that looks like it's falling through a portal. It pretty cool with custom light-up cake plates. Thanks portal is not real.

GFB writes: "Dating back to the full-motion CGI and pre-rendered backgrounds on the original PSX to Heavy Rain today – if it's pretty, we can be forgiving for the lack of actual gameplay. Heavy Rain is an epic today, but will likely fade from memory soon with the exception of using it to show 360 fanboys the graphical power of the PS3."
To actually compare it to a modern day Dragon's Lair and still say it can be rubbed in the face of 360 fans is ludicrous!

Video: Funeral Home "Knows" Who Leaked Whitney Houston Casket Picture
At a press conference held Thursday, Carolyn Whigham, the owner of the Whigham Funeral Home, announced that she knows who leaked the casket picture of Whitney Houston, but refused to say who the culprit was (video below).
Whigham said she is eager to clear her own name after receiving threats from those who say she is responsible.
The Rev. Jethro James, pastor of Paradise Baptist Church, said: "It's up to the Houston family to release the name."

Indiana requires its voters to show a photo ID. So do Rhode Island and several other states. So why is South Carolina not allowed to require voters to show a photo ID to provide additional reliability in our elections?
Because the federal government has a supervisory power over South Carolina that it doesn't have over those other states. South Carolina falls under the Voting Rights Act. Indiana and Rhode Island do not.
When those states passed their laws, they didn't have to send them to the U.S. Justice Department for approval. South Carolina did.
And the Justice Department rejected South Carolina's law. It said it did so because the law would discriminate against the poor and minorities, both of whom may not have photo ID.
That's nonsense. The state was offering a photo ID to people for free. Anyone could get one.
You need a photo ID to drive a car, cash a check or buy certain cold medicines. How is it unrealistic to expect people to produce a photo ID to vote? If the Justice Department truly believes this discriminates against poor people, then why does the federal government sometimes require the poor to produce a photo ID when obtaining government benefits?
This decision was political, pure and simple. South Carolina is a Republican-dominated state, which made the Obama Administration feel free to try to kill jobs here by suing Boeing for putting a plant here. It's even more natural for the partisan White House to side with Democratic opposition to this bill.
Indiana's law also faced opposition, but those opponents were forced to challenge the law in the courts. In the end, the courts upheld Indiana's law. That should have ended the controversy about South Carolina's similar law.
But opponents of this state's law didn't have to go to the courts. They could approach their political allies in the White House and get them to reject the law.
There is simply no reason South Carolina's laws should be subject to a political veto by the White House. This represents an abuse of federal power. ...
South Carolina officials who say they will appeal the Justice Department decision on the voter ID bill should also contest the constitutional basis for the Voting Rights Act at this point in time. South Carolina deserves as much right as Indiana, Rhode Island, Kansas or Wisconsin to require its voters to present photo IDs.
Another rocky economic year is over and good news on the job front is particularly welcome. South Carolina got some recently as our state's unemployment rate plunged 0.6 percent in November, our largest monthly drop since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics started providing such monthly data 35 years ago.
Even better news: Due to a series of economic development victories in recent years, including that big Boeing 787 Dreamliner plant in North Charleston, South Carolina appears primed to keep riding that positive trend.
Now some bad news: That November S.C. jobless rate was still 9.9 percent, tied for the sixth highest in the nation. And nearly 5,000 people left the labor force, a shift that prompted this grim reminder from the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce: "These figures indicate that some job seekers have suspended job search activities."
In other words, they gave up on finding work.
Still, nearly 15,000 fewer people in South Carolina were officially counted as unemployed in November than were classified that way in October, and the ranks of the working grew by nearly 10,000.
Another bright spot: For 2011 overall, our state experienced a net increase in the labor force. And if we can sustain a long-term influx of jobs, that's bound to eventually reduce unemployment.
College of Charleston economist Frank Hefner told our reporter that the one-year decline of a full percent in the state jobless rate — it was 10.9 percent in December 2010 — is "actually significant."
He explained: "This year more people are participating in the labor market, and they are finding jobs. In the state we gained 30,700 more jobs over the year. That doesn't make up for the 90,000 we lost since the recession started, but we are seeing improvement in the private sector across the board."
We also saw improvement in the unemployment rates in Charleston (from 8.0 percent in October to 7.4 percent in November), Berkeley (9.7 to 8.9) and Dorchester (8.4 to 7.8) counties.
Yet Marion County's jobless rate for November was 17.3 percent, reflecting the long-term shortage of work in many rural parts of our state.
As for South Carolina as a whole, the mission now is to continue on the upward path in economic development — and the downward path in joblessness.

Hurricane Irma is bearing down on Miami, and as a result there is a good chance that Jotwell's University of Miami-based staff will lose power and thus internet access. We've queued up some posts for the coming week, but as our server move is only partially complete there is a chance that some sections may be unavailable for considerable periods of time. Please bear with us if that happens.

Hyatt Hotels Corp. is bringing on PepsiCo's Candace Mueller to serve as VP-global communications, overseeing brand and corporate communications and social engagement.
Ms. Mueller, most recently senior director of communications and community affairs for PepsiCo North America, will report to Debra Goetz, Hyatt's senior VP-corporate marketing and global communications.
She succeds in part Farley Kern, who left the hotel chain about a year ago, though the post now also includes social engagement. The social media team recently became part of the global communications team, a Hyatt spokesperson confirmed.
Ms. Mueller was not immediately available for comment.
During her nearly 10 years at PepsiCo, Ms. Mueller held a number of leadership positions, including senior director-communications and chief of staff and senior manager of communications, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Prior to PepsiCo, she worked on the agency side at shops such as Weber Shandwick and CKPR.
Hyatt reported a 9.9% revenue drop in the third quarter of 2015, compared to the same period last year, according to the company's earnings statement. Hyatt's owned and leased hotel expenses also decreased 8.8% in the third quarter year-over-year.
Over the last few weeks, media reports have been buzzing about Hyatt being in discussions about possibly acquiring Starwood Hotels. The company declined to comment.

text: Hello, Not sure this is common to any Android phone, I use HTC Magic and I have this problem which you can simply recreate following the steps: 1. Create a new contact in the phone and add a postal address to it. When doing so you will provide Street, City, Zip code, country, etc. 2. Perform the synchronization to Gmail - this works fine you will see the new contact in Gmail. 3. Go to the contact again in the phone, click to edit it and once you tap on the address the address editing screen appears but all the fields composing the address (Street, City, etc.) are all blank. The sync operation does something to the address data so that you are not able to edit it anymore in the phone. Anyone has it on his phone? Any solutions? Regards.

This is an original piece that is very uplifting and positive. As a video producer I see a tracking camera following a person strutting down the street from behind – hence the name walking tall. Lots of uses for this one.
At the end of the track I have added a 16 bar DJ-style mash-up coda that could be used on it's own for all kinds of video projects. This is done with a special vst plug-in I've added to my D.A.W.
Chorus voices are human samples played on a controller keyboard.
Thanks for listening.

Just as the Pogues hauled traditional Irish folk through the mud, blood and puke of the punk rock scene and wound up a fist-pumping ball of raw energy, the multilingual Eastern European party band Golem are making accordions rock again. Their blend of instruments—the aforementioned squeezebox, violin, trombone, upright bass and drums, plus occasional tambourine—pretty much ensures wildness both on stage and on record. Their ability to pump Gypsy, Jewish and Slavic folk songs full of hyper-caffeinated New York energy and attitude gives them an edge over even bands like Gogol Bordello or the various klezmer ensembles.Frontwoman Annette Ezekiel—a dancer and multi-lingual speaker/singer (French, Italian, Yiddish, Russian and Ukrainian at last count)—keeps things rockin' alongside co-vocalist Aaron Diskin at the band's wild shows, which have found them opening for Hasidic reggae rapper Matisyahu and postmodern Goth cabaret duo the Dresden Dolls. They released their debut CD Homesick Songs on their own in 2004, but recently signed with the Jdub label (home of Balkan Beat Box and the outfit that gave Matisyahu his start) to issue their follow-up, Fresh Off Boat. They called in some musical favors to fill out the record's sound; Dresden Dolls vocalist/keyboardist Amanda Palmer shows up, as does former Phish bassist Mike Gordon and Patti Smith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye. Despite their overt nods to the immigrant experience (from the album title to the ancient songs they adapt), this is a band, and an album, that could only have come out of NYC.

Dubai-UAE: 2 November, 2017: Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation (AMAF) today joined public and private sector organizations across the UAE in marking the nation's Flag Day with traditional fervor at its headquarters.
In line with the directive of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Foundation convened a flag-raising ceremony that drew the participation of AMAF's employees and some Minors. In collaboration with the Watani Al Emarat Foundation, AMAF volunteers distributed UAE flags to minors and their caregivers.
Speaking at the flag-raising ceremony, His Excellency Tayeb Al-Rais, Secretary General of AMAF, said: "On behalf of the Foundation, I congratulate the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on this auspicious occasion. I pray to the Almighty Allah to protect and preserve them as constant sources of inspiration to our citizens."
He added: "The UAE Flag Day gives us a perfect opportunity to renew our loyalty and allegiance to our beloved country, and reaffirm our commitment to its advancement and to achieving the goals of the National Agenda of the UAE Vision 2021. On this day, we celebrate the progress, prosperity and happiness achieved by our nation that is the legacy of the founding father of the UAE, late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. We must also remember the relentless efforts of the UAE people that have contributed to the country's leading global standing, as well as our responsibility to protect their achievements and build on them."
In closing, His Excellency Tayeb Al-Rais said: "Humanitarian work is a key driver of the UAE's development journey and the foundation of a happy and prosperous society. This provides an added significance to AMAF's mandate of promoting humanitarian values in the country."

Entrepreneur Doe Deere Shares Personal Endeavors to SuccessJuly 29, 2015 - Author: steph - No Comments
The road to success is never easy, as entrepreneur Doe Deere explains in an interview with Ideamensch in July 2015. Deere's personal endeavors to success started with her desire to start a fashion line in 2004 and eventually launching a cosmetic line in 2008. She is the founder and chief executive officer of Lime Crime Cosmetics and produces vibrant and attractive bright colors of nail polish, eyeshadow and lipsticks. Doe was born in Russia and moved to New York at an early age where she was raised. The move to New York was the best place for the young entrepreneur to pursue a career in the fashion and makeup industries.
Doe Deere was asked questions about the mission of Lime Crime Cosmetics, her inspiration to start the cosmetics line, marketing strategies, overcoming obstacles, mentorship to women owned businesses, and advice to future entrepreneurs. The mission of Lime Crime Cosmetics is to prove to thousands of women that cosmetics can cover blemishes and form a sense of "freedom and self-expression." The obsession with bright colors, including the vibrant lime, is the inspiration of creating the cosmetics line, according to Deere.
When asked about marketing strategies, Deere stated that selling online in an e-commerce environment was her strongest focus. Her line wouldn't be as successful today as it is without online sales.
In 2014, Lime Crime Cosmetics endured a security breach because of cyber hacking. Personal information of customers was stolen. Doe had to regain the customers trust by hiring a team of security professionals and partnering with Norton and Trustwave. Trust was eventually rebuilt that resulted in the company overcoming such obstacle.
Since launching the cosmetics business, Deere became a mentor and supporter to women who own businesses and private enterprises. She often speaks at organizational events like PHAMEXPO and Vegas Nay's Star-dust Tour. Her followers on Instagram can seek advice about entrepreneurship and other desired topics. The greatest advice Doe gives to those individuals with the dream of becoming an entrepreneur, is to "trust the gut" which leads to guidance and the development of intuition.
Lime Crime Cosmetics is continually growing because of Doe Deere's management skills. The company's growth is due to her belief of loving and respecting the employees, merchants, and partners. She treats her employees with great respect, which is a magnificent management tool to work in harmony with the same goals in mind.

Stars: 3 of 5.
Running Time: 92 minutes.
Notable Cast or Crew: Ricky Giovinazzo, Veronica Stork, Mitch Maglio, Asaph Livni, Nick Nasta, Michael Tierno.
Tag-line: "Fighting, killing, maiming. Agent orange and the torture cages were the easy part!..."
There's no way around it- COMBAT SHOCK lies so deeply in the shadows of TAXI DRIVER and ERASERHEAD that consequently, it must struggle twice as hard to find its own artistic voice. Ultimately, I do believe that it finds it- through a combination of grubby, DIY sincerity and utter lack of pretentiousness (the director Giovinazzo credits himself as 'Buddy G'). Executive produced by Lloyd Kaufman (and his notorious Troma Films), it's the sort of film that makes you mad– mad that Troma has always aimed its artistic ambitions squarely at the gutter (instead of shooting for the moon with $40,000 and missing, like COMBAT SHOCK does). Sure, the film is something of a failure, but it's a gritty, glorious one! Following in the footsteps of subterranean New York filmmakers like Bill Lustig, Frank Henenlotter, and James Glickenhaus, Giovinazzo transforms Staten Island into a dilapidated, godforsaken vision of a ramshackle'd hell on earth (well, I guess it didn't take THAT much effort). [Furthermore, this is something I know a thing or two about.]
Plus, it doubles as Vietnam in flashbacks (and what look to be testy bodega owners in bamboo hats are the V.C.!). It's full of avant-garde, shoestringy editing and 16mm cinematography choices that most readily recall the 'Fish Heads' music video. Our hero, Frankie, is played by Buddy's brother, Rick, who provides the stringy-haired, wild-eyed intensity required for a 'Nam Vets Go Wild!' picture.
Rick also provides the zany, twangin' synth soundtrack. Frankie's life is an endless parade of demeaning exchanges- from his nagging wife
to his mutated son
to the employment office to a trio of laughably costumed loan sharks who use colorful expressions like "shitstain."
Said loan sharks at one point try to get Frankie to sell his deformed son- "You know they pay extra for retards?" –"No shit?" "Sure, it's a delicacy to fund retarded kids." WHUTTTTTTT?!
Two little girls on the street corner shout "Bitch!" at one another:
Then one of 'em kicks our hero!
there's a poor-man's Fred Williamson-esque pimp:
Maybe this guy is more like "The Ball-peen Hammer."
and there's the legendary line reading, "I am become God... Eieeeh-hehe-heheh-ehh!"
It's frequently incompetent and occasionally asinine, but there are a few moments of genuine, transcendent power. Three stars.
-Sean Gill

In the United States for instance it is virtually impossible to buy anything in cash even if you have the money. All retailers insist on credit sales preferring to know your credit rating as opposed to accepting cash.
What a load of BULLSHIT - and not the type you can use to improve your crop yields!
Except for purchases over $10,000 (coz of money laundering laws/regulations) it is highly unlikely a retailer is going to refuse 'cash' for any purchase... Heck, why should they say no to good old hard cash?
I challenge the writer to visit a store - electronic, clothing, department store, etc - in the USA & say... I want to pay in cash... Chances are the cashier will smile & say "of course, sir/madam" and take the cash!!!
Retailers do NOT care about your credit history if you are paying cash... after all why should they bother with your credit history if you are PAYING in cash???

What is REACH?
REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, and Authorisation of Chemicals. It is the new EU Chemical legislation which came into force on 1 June 2007. The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment by identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, innovative capability and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry should be enhanced. TEPPFA plays a coordinating role in preparing its industry members for the legislation.
The European Commission's (EC) White Paper of 2001 on a 'future chemical strategy' proposed a system that requires chemicals manufactured in quantities of greater than 1 tonne to be 'registered', those manufactured in quantities greater than 100 tonnes to be 'evaluated', and certain substances of high concern (for example carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction - CMR's) to be 'authorised'.
The EC adopted its proposal for a new scheme to manage the manufacture, importation and supply of chemicals in Europe on in October 2003. This proposal eventually became law once the European Parliament officially approved its final text of REACH. It came into force on 1 June 2007.
A requirement is to collect, collate and submit data to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) on the hazardous properties of all substances (except Polymers and non-isolated intermediates) manufactured or imported into the EU in quantities above 1 tonne per year. Certain substances of high concern, such as carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxic substances (CMRs) will have to be authorised.
Chemicals will be registered in three phases according to the tonnage of the substance:
More than 1000 tonnes a year, or substances of highest concern, must be registered in the first 3 years;
100-1000 tonnes a year must be registered in the first 6 years;
1-100 tonnes a year must be registered in the first 11 years.
In addition, industry should prepare risk assessments and provide controls measures for using the substance safely to downstream users.
Evaluation provides a means for the authorities to require registrants, and in very limited cases downstream users, to provide further information.
There are two types of evaluation: dossier evaluation and substance evaluation:
Dossier evaluation is conducted by authorities to examine proposals for testing to ensure that unnecessary animal tests and costs are avoided, and to check the compliance of registration dossier with the registration requirements.
The relevant authorities perform substance evaluation when there is a reason to suspect that a substance presents a risk to human health or the environment (e.g. because of its structural similarity to another substance). Therefore, all registration dossiers submitted for a substance are examined together and any other available information is taken into account.
The REACH proposal sets up a system under which the use of substances with properties of very high concern and their placing on the market can be made subject to an authorisation requirement.
This authorisation requirement ensures that risks from the use of such substances are either adequately controlled or justified by socio-economic grounds, having taken into account the available information on alternative substances or processes.
The Regulation enable restrictions of use to be introduced across the European Community where this is shown to be necessary. Member States or the Commission may prepare such proposals.
Information Exchange
Manufactures and/or importers should develop risk reduction measures for all known uses of the chemical including downstream uses. Downstream users such as plastic pipe producers should provide detail of their uses to their suppliers. In cases where downstream users decide not to disclose this information, they need to have their own CSR.
European Chemicals Agency
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is managing the technical and administrative aspects of the REACH system at Community level. The Agency, located in Helsinki, is the central coordinating body and will be operational in 2008.

When you are trying to keep down the cost of your fleet, insurance premiums might not be an area where you feel you have much control. But actually, you can get a good reduction in the amount you pay out – if you are willing to put in the time and effort. Nick List from Zurich Insurance Group tells us how fleet managers can work with insurers to reduce their premiums.
